The rough guy who wears it fast is too strong

Chu Li nodded, and the two walked to the side. As a military commander, Huo Yan didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly,

"Princess, the guilty minister's private seal was lost. Someone used the guilty minister's private seal to forge evidence of gangsterism and corruption. The princess happened to be there on the day when the private seal was lost, and the guilty minister's mother and several sisters-in-law happened to drink some wine and fell asleep. It’s on.”

"But they can usually drink quite a lot..." Huo Yan looked down at Chu Li against the light. His black eyelashes left an inverted triangle shadow on his eyelids, and his expression was unclear.

The reason for asking so directly is not because he is reckless, but because he is born with the same talent as his father and brothers, and can read people's facial expressions better than ordinary people.

He could easily tell whether someone was lying or not.

Chu Li lowered her head.

It's impossible to admit it. Stealing his private seal made his whole family be sentenced to exile, and maybe his whole family was killed. To be honest, there is no explanation.

If they knew that it was her who harmed them, their strong character would definitely not allow them to accept any favor from her, and her efforts would be in vain.

Besides, the original owner stole the seal.

What does it have to do with her?

(`へ′*)ノ

Huo Yan's eyes were sharp. He had been leading soldiers for a long time, and his tone unconsciously sounded interrogative. "Was the princess really drunk that day? Or..."

"Brother Huo Yan, are you doubting me?" Chu Li suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of innocence and surprise, and then she said angrily and anxiously,

"General Huo! This princess does admire you, but that doesn't mean you can slander me!"

As Chu Li spoke, her eyes were red and she had a sobbing tone, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

"This princess is not afraid of hard work. I am exiled with you, but you actually doubt me..." She sobbed twice as she spoke.

"You, how could you do this! Oh!"

Huo Yan was stunned. He had never interacted with girls before. Are all girls like this? They will cry when asked a question...

So delicate...

But her clear eyes didn't look like she would steal his private seal, and she didn't feel guilty at all.

Chu Li didn't feel guilty because she felt from the bottom of her heart that what the original owner did had nothing to do with her, and she was thick-skinned.

Huo Yan opened his mouth and then closed it again, without saying anything. His tone softened.

"That's not what I meant, but, ahem, we don't seem to be familiar with each other. The way you treat me makes me wonder if you have any purpose."

"Isn't it okay that I just fell in love with you at first sight?... You're so annoying. Why do you have to make me say it out loud? Besides, don't we already have an engagement?" Chu Li pretended to be shy and embarrassed, speaking in a delicate voice.

His body was twisted into a knot, and his two feet on the ground looked helpless.

As a result, I accidentally overdid it and tripped over my left foot. "Oh, I..."

Just when she was about to fall, Huo Yan grabbed her with his big hand like a chick, and let go of her quickly after she stood firm.

Are all girls so soft... Huo Yan's ears blushed.

That little shoulder seemed like it would break if squeezed...the flesh on the arm was so soft, it was incredible.

The hand that grabbed Chu Li's body suddenly felt hot and she didn't know where to put it...

He coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then his tone became extremely serious.

"Your Highness, you have to think clearly. I am a criminal now... I don't know where I will go in the future. If you follow me, I am afraid..."

"I don't care. I like you as a person, nothing else matters. Also, don't call yourself a sinner in front of me anymore. I believe you are not guilty. Do you think you are guilty too?"

Wang Han took the steamed buns and distributed them to several widowed sisters-in-law. He gave Huo Yan's steamed buns to several widowed sisters-in-law very discerningly and did not come to disturb Huo Yan and Chu Li's chat.

Several of the widowed sisters-in-law actually had a lot to ask Chu Li, especially Zhou, who had been muttering that she wanted to ask Chu Li directly if she had stolen the private seal.

But the old lady refused, "Why are you asking! Old lady, I believe that the daughter of Marquis Chao Yang would never do such a thing!"

"The princess has been a well-behaved child since she was young. If you dare to bully her, don't blame me for being rude to you."

The sisters-in-law looked at each other speechlessly. Is she honest? ?

When did you go blind?

But everyone still obediently resisted the urge to ask, and picked up the steamed buns and started eating.

The escorts were going to give them something black and hard like stone.

Qiu is made from rice, soybeans, millet, red beans and other grains. They are first fried in a pan, then crushed in a stone mortar, water is added to mix well, and then kneaded into pieces. Finally, they are spread out to dry in the sun and then dried into rice crust.

A type of food specifically designed for eating on the road.

The food for the exiles was not made with rice, soybeans, etc., but wheat. It was very difficult to swallow, and I couldn't swallow it without drinking water. I could only eat it bit by bit.

Taifu Meng and the others were not so lucky, and the solution only caused embarrassment to them.

Normally at the Exile Road, the prison guards would not give out white-flour steamed buns to the prisoners. It was just to embarrass them. If they wanted to eat white-flour buns, they would have to pay for them.

The price is a hundred times higher than the market price.

Usually a steamed bun costs a penny, but here it costs a hundred pence.

This is why there are still people willing to do the hard work of solving jobs.

Although the exiles' homes were confiscated, there would always be relatives and friends who saw them off on their way to the exile site who would secretly give them money. The escorts would pretend not to see it because the money would eventually become theirs.

"Officer, my grandson is only four years old and can't eat this. Can you exchange it for a steamed bun?" A woman in her forties or fifties looked at the bailiff with pleading and longing eyes.

A waiter said loudly, "One hundred coins each. If you want to eat, you have to pay for it."

"Ah? Why are they so expensive? They're only one penny each. Can they be cheaper?"

"This is our price."

"Then... then give me one..."

Here, the tips of Huo Yan's ears turned red. He had never seen a woman who confessed her love so boldly... She looked so delicate that she couldn't take care of herself, but her little mouth could always say some shocking things, as if she didn't know how to be ashamed. ...

"Thank you for your trust, my lady. I have indeed not committed any corruption. I will call myself "I" from now on."

Chu Li coughed and changed the subject, "By the way, you're hungry, I have food there. I'll give everyone a share first, and then I'll get it for you. Just wait here and don't move."

She trotted back to the carriage and took out the food that the people had stuffed into her hands.

First, he gave Taifu Meng's family, which was relatively close to the car, a few meat buns and cakes, and then gave them a piece of elbow and a piece of braised pork.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!" Taifu Meng was so grateful that his hands were shaking with excitement. He wanted to pull a few children to kowtow, but Chu Li quickly stopped him.

She makes people kowtow over just a little food, what kind of person has she become?

"Master Meng, please don't be polite to me. You are a loyal minister and this is what I should do. Please don't embarrass me."

Chu Li turned around and gave a few steamed buns and a piece of braised pork to a few of them.

We will definitely need the helpers in the future, so we can’t be stingy.

Several interpreters smiled and thanked Chu Li.

Chu Li gave most of the rest to several widowed sisters-in-law and the old lady.

"That won't do. We can't eat so much! This piece of meat is enough. Let's divide it up. You can take the rest back, my princess."

Seeing Chu Li sharing so much food with them, the widowed sisters-in-law and the old lady were stunned.

I was thinking, why don’t you save money? There is still a way to go.

"Hey, it's not much. Just leave it for tomorrow after you finish it."

The main reason was that so much food was crammed into her compartment that she couldn't even lie down even if she wanted to. It smelled like meat... and she couldn't blatantly leave room for it, so she might as well share it out, otherwise the weather would spoil it in less than two days.
