The best farmhouse

Chapter 153
"What's going on here?" One of the officials finally vomited and walked up to Zhao Canniang and asked.

The officials knew Zhao Canniang and knew how capable Zhao Canniang was.

Zhao Canniang didn't shy away and said, "You all saw the scene. It looks like a suicide, but there must be a reason for the suicide! It's better to die than to live. This kind of death is too cruel."

The meaning of these words is obvious, what Zhao Canniang wants to say is that there is something strange about Yue's death.

The two officials also knew the character of the Yue family and the Chu family. After all, the officials also knew a lot about the things they usually did. The situation in front of them is a bit challenging.

"Where's the Chu family?" the official who asked the question just now asked.

Zhao Canniang pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "I asked the patriarch to lock her up. Now that the matter is not clear, she must not be released. Now that the official sent the eldest brother here, she will be handed over to you."

Li Zheng stood aside and nodded in agreement. Now that the official messenger is here, he can hand over the Chu family to the official messenger.

The scene always needs to be cleaned up. Li Zheng and the patriarch found two courageous people in the village, gave some money, and planned to put the Yue clan into the coffin first.

Fortunately, the Yue clan is usually very stingy and powerful, but he is still good to himself. The coffin was prepared earlier and placed in the firewood room, and it happened to be taken out at this time.

The death of the Yue family was never even attended by the Wu Zuo, so it was simply forgotten, and the Chu family was taken back to the yamen by the officials.

This sudden change broke the tranquility of the village. Zhao Canniang still couldn't bear it, so she took a little money and handed over the matter to someone who was somewhat related to the Yue family to handle the funeral.

Although Zhao Bingniang said that she had broken ties with the Yue clan, but when she heard that the Yue clan committed suicide, and the death was so miserable, she couldn't help but go back to the village.

After receiving the news, Zhao Qingniang, who was married a little closer, also came back.

The two sisters naturally hugged each other and cried when they met. The death of the Yue family was sudden. There was no conflict between the two sisters. This time they met, they found a little support for each other.

Qin's heart still couldn't bear it, after all, when a person died, the previous grievances would be wiped out, and Qin still put a stick of incense on Yue's grave.

The Chu family came back at noon the next day, followed by Li Zheng.

This time back, the Chu family did not have a good time.

Several big men went to the village and tied Chu back to the village.

Seeing such a battle, Zhao Canniang knew that something serious must have happened.

Sure enough, after hastily buried the Yue family, Li Zheng gathered everyone together.

It was at this time that Zhao Canniang saw the so-called pig cage.

The funeral of the Yue clan was very simple, because there was no male in the family, that is, there was no one in charge of the family, and Zhao Qingfeng's heart knot was not resolved, so it was fine to ask him to pay the money, but Zhao Qingfeng was not willing to ask him to wear hemp and mourning for the Yue clan. , so when the Yue clan was buried, everything was kept simple.

Zhao Qingniang and Zhao Bingniang also went to the dam of the ancestral hall at night.

Zhao Canniang also followed.

The Chu family was tied to a pillar of the ancestral hall, and the clothes on that body were already torn, and bloodstains could still be seen vaguely.

The faces of Li Zheng and the patriarch were ugly, and both of them looked desperate.

And Zhao Canniang also found something wrong. On the other side of the column, there was a man tied up. The man looked to be in his thirties, and he was tall and strong, but he was also tied up at the moment, and he seemed to be hungry. A lot of trouble.

Seeing that everyone in the village had come, Lizheng sighed heavily.

"I called everyone together today. I know everyone is confused, so I'll make a long story short!" Li Zheng glanced at the tied up Chu family.

Li Zheng just paused for a moment, then continued: "It's our Zhaojiazhuang's misfortune! We begged such a shameless woman back."

When Li Zheng said this, it seemed that the matter was immediately simple and clear.

The people in the village suddenly started talking, and Zhao Canniang knew who the man tied to the column was.

It turned out that the man on the stigma was from the village next door, a knife sharpener, and he often came to Zhaojiazhuang to sharpen knives in the past six months.

And Zhao Canniang also heard the gossip inside. It turned out that there had been rumors in the village that the Chu family couldn't bear the loneliness and got entangled with Mo Daojiang.

It's just that these are the guesses of the people in the village.

Zhao Canniang is still more inclined towards Lizheng.

Li Zheng sighed, and then said: "I know everyone is puzzled, why I called everyone to the ancestral hall, how many years has it been, and the Zhao family has not encountered such a thing for many years. First of all, I Let’s talk about the death of the Yue family! The cause of Yue’s death is also related to the Chu family. In recent months, the Chu family has not cared about the Yue family’s food and drink. Everyone knows how the Yue family lives, although the Yue family also It's not pleasing, but it is an old man after all, not to mention that the Chu family is still the daughter-in-law of the Yue family. At this time, the Chu family should be more filial to the Yue family, but the Chu family does not. The little silver that was just coming was snatched away, and even the Yue family was attacked, and finally the Yue family was so angry that he took the scissors and committed suicide."

As soon as this was mentioned, most people in the village understood the reason in the middle, presumably it was the Yue family who was forced to death by the Chu family.

This is unfilial, and the Chu family will be cast aside by everyone if they commit unfilial piety.

And Lizheng didn't finish his sentence, but continued: "I believe you all know the man who is helping on the pillar next to you! In the past six months, although there have been rumors about him and the Chu family in the village, they are all There is no evidence to prove it, so of course we have to forget it, but now things have been proved to be true, and everyone knows how to punish women who do not obey women's morals!"

Lizheng had just finished speaking, and the whole village exploded.

Zhao Canniang was also stunned, the Chu family did not abide by women's morals, this is the key point.

Zhao Bingniang was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect that there was such a layer in the middle.

But thinking about it, Zhao Quanmin has been away from home for three years, and the Chu family has been alone in the vacant house for so many years. It is inevitable that they will not be able to bear the loneliness after a long time.

It seems reasonable to do such a thing now.

To punish a woman who does not abide by women's morals is to invade a pig cage.

The people in the village were kind, and they didn't really want Chu's life, but Chu couldn't stay in Zhaojiazhuang, so they drove Chu and the knife-sharpening man out of the village.

From then on, the Chu family no longer existed in the village.

Because of this incident, Zhao Canniang's construction of the boiler was postponed by the Queen for two days.

Zhao Canniang was in a good mood busy with things in the village.

And here Zhao Qingfeng's marriage is gradually approaching.

In the past few days, the Zhao family's house is full of joyful scenes, and red ribbons are hung all over the house.

The Qin family was also very happy, directing the servants below to do things every day.

Zhao Canniang also put down the affairs in the village and began to concentrate on preparing for Zhao Qingfeng's marriage.

Zhao Qingfeng is busy every day and has no time to be with Zhao Canniang.

Chen Zhongqiu ran to Zhao's house every three days, talking about marriage matters, but in fact, this guy came to Zhao's house every day with only one purpose, to find Zhao Canniang.

Inside the yard.

Zhao Canniang is cutting red window grilles.

Chen Zhongqiu took a box and walked directly into the yard.

As soon as he saw Zhao Canniang, Chen Zhongqiu's face was full of smiles: "Canniang, look that I have brought you a gift."

As Chen Zhongqiu spoke, he put the box on the stone table.

Zhao Canniang was willing to please Chen Zhongqiu as much as she could, and she also readily accepted it during this time.

After seeing Ke Tianlin's personality clearly, Zhao Canniang did not dislike Chen Zhongqiu's kindness to her. Zhao Canniang knew that her knot in her heart was slowly unraveling with the passage of time.

Zhao Canniang put down the paper flower in her hand, glanced at the excited Chen Zhongqiu, and picked up the box.

Opening the box, surprisingly, there was an eight-treasure glazed hairpin lying inside the box, and the jewels and jade on it were inlaid with fine workmanship.

"This is?" Zhao Canniang immediately fell in love with this hairpin.

Chen Zhongqiu smiled foolishly, and then said: "This is for you, and I just got it. Canniang, you put it in and have a look. I'll see if it looks good."

Chen Zhongqiu was very excited.

Zhao Canniang cooperatively handed the hairpin to Chen Zhongqiu: "You can plug it in for me."

When Chen Zhongqiu heard this, he was a little excited. This was the first time that Zhao Canniang was willing to get close to him like this.

Chen Zhongqiu felt as if he had seen the sun at dawn, and excitedly walked to Zhao Canniang's side, took the hairpin from Zhao Canniang's hand, and Chen Zhongqiu inserted it into Zhao Canniang's hair bun.

very nice.

"Canniang is very beautiful." Chen Zhongqiu was very happy to see Zhao Canniang's hairpin looks more charming and charming. This hairpin was specially made for Zhao Canniang, and even the style on it was according to Chen Zhongqiu's own design. meaning design.

A lot of thought has gone into the flower, and the gift is also exquisite.

"Thank you." Zhao Canniang smiled sincerely.

Zhao Canniang actually understands what it means to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is precisely because she understands that she is so moved. Chen Zhongqiu is a good person, and if it is entrusted to her for life, Zhao Canniang thinks it is completely okay.

"Brother Chen." Zhao Canniang only called Chen Zhongqiu that way when she was in a good mood.

Chen Zhongqiu gave a "hmm" and signaled Zhao Canniang to continue.

Zhao Canniang bit her lip and said, "When our plan is completed, let's get married!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhongqiu was stunned on the spot, and then looked at Zhao Canniang with a smirk on his face. He never thought that Zhao Canniang would agree to him so easily.
