Gao Miao shuddered and looked at Gao Yunting with a frown. Why was this kid acting like a spoiled child again?
Gao Zhi: "What's wrong?"
Gao Yunting was aggrieved. "So many things have happened in the past few days, but you didn't take me with you. Do you think I'm useless and afraid that I'll hold you back?"
Hearing this, Gao Zhi knew that the boy was acting like a spoiled brat and was a little angry.
Gao Zhi came over, tugged at Gao Yunting's sleeve, and shook it gently, "Brother Yunting, the three of us grew up together, and we will never dislike you even if we dislike anyone else.
It’s just that we are also helping Lord Jiang, so we have a lot to say about the government’s affairs.
Besides, Gao Miao and I are busy with things outside, so you have to help my mother with household chores, right?
We call this division of labor and cooperation.
I'm not afraid that you'll hold me back.
If you are still angry, then I promise you that if the government comes to us for something in the future, we will tell you everything regardless of whether the government will be angry or not."
When Gao Yunting heard that it was about government affairs, he immediately waved his hands.
"No, no, no! Official matters cannot be told to anyone without permission, including me. You cannot be punished because of me. Go, go, go! Auntie has been worried about you all night and is still awake."
Gao Miao took a few steps forward and put his arm around Gao Yunting's neck, "Let's go! I'll tell you all when we get to my mother's place.
The matter has been completed, and I am not afraid to speak out about it. "
"Um."
When Mrs. Xie heard the noise, she hurried out of the house and saw three children coming over with lanterns.
Xie walked over quickly, held Gao Zhi's hand, and looked her up and down.
"Are you okay? It's cold outside and you didn't even bother putting on more clothes. Your hands are so cold."
Having said that, she pulled Gao Zhi back to the house.
Gao Miao and Gao Yunting followed behind.
The four of them entered the house, and Xie poured them some hot water, "Hurry up and drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."
Gao Yunting looked at Gao Miao eagerly.
Gao Miao drank a cup of hot water and looked at the people at the table.
"Jiaojiao and I followed Lord Jiang to the Xu family. The girl killed by Cheng Zhao was the daughter of the Xu family's cook.
I went to the government office in the afternoon and met Cheng Zhao and Sun Ming in the prison.
Based on what they both said, I realized that there was still someone who had not been arrested in this case.
After Lord Jiang found out, he arranged to scare Xu Juan tonight.
After being frightened, Xu Juan confessed that it was she who instructed the cook's daughter to find Sun Ming, let Sun Ming use illness as an excuse to lure Jiaojiao over, and then let Sun Ming ruin Jiaojiao's reputation.
Sun Ming refused, and Cheng Zhao heard what she said to Sun Ming, so he tied her up.
...In the end, Xu Juan was stabbed in the heart by the cook and died on the spot.
We just came back from the government office, and the whole case has been solved."
“……” The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xie couldn't help but tremble all over, holding Gao Zhi's hand tightly with her cold hands. She couldn't imagine what Gao Zhi would do if Sun Ming agreed and Gao Zhi got a bad reputation.
“Jiaojiao.”
"Mom, it's over! It's okay! Sun Ming still has a trace of conscience and did not let Xu Juan succeed.
Xu Juan also got what she deserved and ended up like this.
All of this is karma. She sowed the seeds herself, and she has to bear the consequences herself."
Gao Zhi hurriedly comforted Xie.
Xie's eyes were filled with tears. "From now on, when you go out to do things, you have to have someone accompany you."
It’s scary to think about it!
The human heart is unfathomable, and the mountain road is full of twists and turns.
"Okay! I'll find someone to accompany me from now on."
"Well, this way I can feel at ease." Xie was terrified.
…
The next morning, Xie and his group returned to the village.
Driving a horse carriage in the mountains.
The villagers received the news the day before yesterday that two successful candidates had emerged from Laozhuang Village, and the government had sent someone to deliver the good news. Everyone was waiting to congratulate and drink together, but after waiting for a long time, no one had returned.
They heard about the change of the list.
But later, Gao Miao and Gao Zhi were framed and involved in a murder case, which they were unaware of.
"Something happened, something happened!" The peddler came back early with his untouched goods.
As soon as we entered the village, we started shouting in a loud voice that something had happened.
When the villagers heard this, they were all worried.
What happened?
It sounded like the sky was falling.
The villagers chased him from all directions and all the way to the village chief’s house.
The peddler stood in front of the ancestor, panting. "Ancestor, I was carrying braised meat to sell in town this morning, and I heard some big news. Gao Miao and Jiao Jiao got into trouble, and they were arrested and taken to the government office."
What? Someone outside the courtyard gate rushed in.
Everyone was extremely anxious.
The old man stood up from the recliner, "What did you say?"
"Grandfather, they haven't come back because something happened. That person said that Gao Miao and Jiao Jiao were arrested and thrown into the government prison for murder."
This man was so scared that he ran back to the village after listening to only half of it.
When he came back and said this, the whole village was in an uproar.
"How is this possible?"
"How could Gao Miao and Jiao Jiao kill someone?"
"Impossible! Gao Miao passed the imperial examination and was the top scorer in the case. He has a bright future. Why would he kill someone?"
"It's even more impossible for Jiaojiao to kill someone! Our Jiaojiao is a blessed child. People with evil intentions are not blessed. Jiaojiao is so blessed, so it's impossible for her to kill someone."
"That's right. Our Jiaojiao is so nice, a beautiful and kind girl. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Because of Gao Zhi's existence, the villagers of Lao Zhuang Village are living better and better every year, and their days are prosperous. Everyone subconsciously attributes this to Gao Zhi.
Thanks to Gao Zhi's blessing, Xie acquired a skill and led everyone to live a good life.
The old ancestor's body shook a few times, and Gao Ronghua and his wife were so scared that they hurriedly supported him on both sides.
"Grandpa."
"I'm fine!" The old man took a deep breath and said he was fine, but he was not sure in his heart. No wonder he didn't go home yesterday, it turned out that something happened.
Once you arrive at the yamen, you have no control over anything.
The old ancestor looked at Gao Ronghua solemnly, "Hitch the New Year's car, and let's go to the county."
Gao Ronghua nodded, "Okay!"
He called two villagers and asked them to help harness the ox cart. He then said to the other villagers, "You all go home and do what you need to do. We will go and find out about this matter and we will report back when we have news.
I believe Gao Miao and Jiaojiao, they would never do such a thing.
It must be a frame-up or some misunderstanding."
The villagers hung their heads, nodded slightly, and left in twos and threes, talking as they walked.
Li Mei and her men were still busy in the workshop. It was so noisy in the workshop that they did not hear the news that was being shouted in a loud voice.
However, Li Mei was also muttering in her heart.
Why haven't you gotten home yet?
We agreed to bring back the things for the banquet yesterday.
She even specially made extra braised meat yesterday, thinking of using it for the wedding banquet.
A villager ran towards Xie's house and shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard: "Something happened, something happened, Yun Ting's mother, something serious has happened."
Li Mei was so frightened that the kitchen knife in her hand dropped.
