Zou Yi didn't know what the thank you gift was until she went back.

Jiang Yu was so generous that he gave him a boat.

Compared with the abandoned ship before, it is smaller, but more refined, and has everything it should have.

Both he and Qingyu Dongshan were stunned and went to find Lan Niang. Lan Niang said that Miss Jiang's biological father was a wealthy businessman, and she wanted her daughter to inherit his mantle, but she was influenced by her grandfather and only wanted To punish rape and eradicate evil, she had no choice but to put her in the yamen as a errand.

Dongshan sounded like he was dreaming: "Even if her father is a wealthy businessman, this is too..."

When he said this, he was standing on the deck, the sky was blue and the water was green, and it merged into one in the distance. He was so surprised that he staggered when he walked, as if he would be blown down by a gust of wind.

Qingyu also felt that he was dreaming, he put the boat certificate in the inner pocket on his chest, it should have been ironed by his own body temperature, but he was restless, he took it out to have a look if he felt it was unreal Touch it, and then stuff it back like a baby, Zou Yi, as a former rich man, couldn't get used to the two people's worthless appearance, rolled his eyes while touching Qing Yu's chest and said, "Let me see." Two handfuls of tofu.

The process is smooth and smooth, and it is done in one go, and the tofu is eaten so openly and righteously, that those who see the truth think that their hearts are dirty, and they bow their heads shyly.

Such a big gift was indeed what they needed most, but it was embarrassing because it was too big, after all, they couldn't afford it even if they wanted to.

At noon on the second day, Zou Yi was eating melon after lunch, when he saw crisp footsteps approaching suddenly, he raised his head and met Jiang Yu's smiling eyes.

As the saying goes, this time it was raw and the second time it was cooked, she walked in without seeing anyone, picked up a piece of melon and ate it.

This melon is crispy, sweet and watery, and when I accidentally took a bite, the juice flowed all over my hands. Zou Yi handed over a handkerchief, and she took it with a vague thank you, and then heard the man say, "I understand Miss Jiang's intentions, but this The etiquette is too heavy, I forgive Zou for not accepting it."

After she finished eating the melon, she saw Zou Yi push the boat charter spread out on the table in her direction.

She gave a vague laugh.

"It's like this every time. Whenever I bring out some gifts, a group of people hurriedly waved their hands and said, 'I can't accept it, I can't accept it'. The little effort can solve other people's urgent needs, why can't I do it? Why can't you accept it?"

Zou Yi choked on the girl's blunt words. Seeing her porcelain-like blushing face and wide-eyed eyes, like a kitten spinning around in anger, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jiang Yu frowned: "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, no, no," Zou Yi said hastily, "I see Miss Jiang being so forthright, and I admire her so much that I show my emotions."

Jiang Yu snorted, and reluctantly accepted the excuse: "You can put it away with peace of mind, these are nothing to me, to be honest, if you can help me investigate the case wholeheartedly, it will be the best reward. "

Speaking of business, Zou Yi suppressed her smile, and said in a low voice, "Miss Lan has saved my life. Even if there is no reward, I will do it. Miss Jiang, you said yesterday that you are investigating the rumor-mongers. Have you made any progress?"

Jiang Yu sneered: "I'm here today to talk about this matter. Lanniang doesn't know many people, so it's easy to find out. It's Xu Xin. Coincidentally, she is also my classmate, but this woman She is mean-spirited and mean-spirited, and she often wears poor-quality clothes to inflate the price several times, as if she is rich, I really don't like her."

Zou Yi asked: "How is her relationship with Miss Lan?"

"What else can I do? Lan Niang was born in a rural fisherman's family, and there is a little girl under her. The family is poor, so she will laugh at her naturally, but with my help, Xu Xin has not dared to bully others for a long time."

Zou Yi asked: "Will we still meet after graduation?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, shook his head, and nodded again: "I have seen her once or twice in the year after graduation. Her family opened an inn, and she worked as a helper in the inn. Listen to me. That's the point—the inn where the accident happened is owned by her family."

Zou Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Yu blinked quickly, and unconsciously lowered her voice low and fast: "Isn't it a coincidence? Although she is stupid, she will not go crazy. What is the consequence of wronging a person as a murderer? She won't I know, the yamen has given her a summons, and she will be promoted the day after tomorrow. If she has no evidence, she can be charged with spreading rumors and fined a lot." Jiang Yu seemed thirsty, and grabbed a piece of melon to eat, " The day after tomorrow I hope you will come to listen in, maybe you can find some evidence."

Zou Yi was stunned and said, "Can I attend the court session in this yamen?"

"That's natural," Jiang Yu smiled suddenly, showing two snow-white teeth, "I'm afraid there will be some random judges who will be tortured if they are closed, and you can come to listen to ordinary cases."

Zou Yi looked at her young and energetic face, like a gorgeous flower, and suddenly remembered those men who were ordered not to leave the gate in Taoyuan Village. They were confined to the world framed by the courtyard wall all their lives, so I thought the sky was square, but I didn't know that the sky outside the wall was so vast that I couldn't see the edge.

His throat rolled violently, and he asked almost eagerly: "Except for this, except for this, how was your monarch elected?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him strangely, but after following her father for a while, she also knew that the customs are different in different places, so she patiently replied: "Select from among those who are officials, select the virtuous and capable, and Fuze People. What's the matter, is it strange?"

Zou Yi took a deep, deep look at her, and was silent for a long, long time. After a while, he suddenly smiled.

Zou Yi is really cute when he smiles. No matter men, women, young or old, fat or thin, no one can escape his smile. His smile reminds people of a tender green bud emerging from the frozen soil after a whole severe winter. It's a very pure joy.

He almost murmured, "Is it? Is it? That's good."

That's good.

Jiang Yu's face was dazzled by his smile, and when he reacted, he frowned in annoyance, and was about to speak, but seeing Zou Yi's expression was wrong, he hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zou Yi coughed twice, suppressed his leaking expression, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just remembering the old things for a while. This is really a good country."

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Yes, this is really a good country. Well, I won't tell you anymore, the lunch break is about to end and I have to go. See you at the Yamen the day after tomorrow. Don't forget to come."

Zou Yi smiled and waved to her, and after watching her go, he picked up two slices of melon from the fruit plate, and ate them seriously, one bite at a time.

The day after tomorrow arrived in a blink of an eye, Zou Yi specially asked for leave, besides Zou Yi, Qing Yu and Dong Shan also came.

There are quite a lot of seats in the yamen, but there are not many people who come, most of them are related family members or idle passers-by, and they easily picked the clearest seat to sit down.

Sitting in the center of the Shengtang is the county captain.Sitting on both sides are the Master and the County Sikong.

Below are two rows of yamen servants, each holding a thick wooden stick in his hand and a long sword with a bright snow on his waist, standing solemnly.

Surrounded by the yamen servants were the plaintiff and the defendant, but Jiang Yu persuaded Lanniang to report this case, and now she was asked to repeat this kind of thing in front of so many people, she really didn't have the courage, so Jiang Yu attended on her behalf.

A few people chatted for a while, and saw that the county captain slapped the wood to wake up, and there was no sound at once. He swept all the people present, and said: "I am promoted."

Someone nearby shouted loudly: "Shengtang, bring the defendant Xu Xin up."

A small door opened from the left, and Xu Xin came.This little girl was born well, but she was dressed too fancy. She was wearing a big pink robe with many red and green butterflies embroidered on it. The flowers made my eyes hurt and I couldn't pay attention to her face.

She pursed her lips tightly and stood firm. The first sentence was: "I am not guilty."

The county lieutenant pretended not to hear, touched his beard and said unhurriedly: "Defendant Xu Xin, you spread rumors and spread the news that 'Su Lan seduced the deceased and killed him after the deceased refused'. I have caused great damage, and now I convict you of the crime of 'maliciously defaming and slandering others' reputation', can you plead guilty?"

Her eyes were bulging like goldfish: "I'm not guilty."

Jiang Yu sneered and said: "The Yamen has confirmed that she is not the murderer. What evidence do you have to prove that she is? As for her seducing the deceased, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Xu Xin was quiet for a moment and said, "I didn't see it."

The county lieutenant sighed, feeling that the case was really boring, and was about to settle the case quickly to find the baby in Qiaoxi Golden House to play with, when Xu Xin said word by word: "But I heard it."

Everyone was stunned: "What did you hear?"

Seeing so many eyes gathered on her body, like many sharp knives picking her clothes off and stripping her naked, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This inn is run by my family. When I went to the toilet on the first floor, I heard a scream, it was from Su Lan."

There was a rustling sound in the hall, and the master handed over the copy. Not only Xu Xin, but also other people heard the scream.The county lieutenant nodded and ordered her to continue talking.

Xu Xin swallowed her saliva and said: "I panicked and felt that something was wrong, so I hurriedly ran upstairs from the latrine, and heard that sound was at the end of the corridor, and when I got to about three or four wing rooms, I heard another sound. Screaming! This sound came from Mr. He! I heard him screaming, shouting: "Su Lan—" After that, the sound suddenly disappeared. I was too scared to go any further, so I ran away again. Going back to the first floor, I saw Lan Niang coming down with a pale face after a while, I greeted her but she seemed to be seeing a ghost, she was so frightened that she almost fell down."

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes: "You can conclude that she killed the person based on this?"

Xu Xin said: "Even if she didn't kill it, she still has something to do with it! Otherwise, why would Mr. He call her name at that time?"

Jiang Yu said: "There are many such situations. Mr. He wants to plot against her. It is possible that she hurt him when she broke free. Besides, you are the only one to testify for this confession. Do you want to say what you want?"

Xu Xin said angrily: "Jiang Yu, don't go too far! What do you mean? You mean that I knew the law and broke the law and forged evidence? Don't favor her so much that you can't distinguish between black and white—"

With a sound of "pa", the county captain patted Xingmu, and successfully shut up the two people who were blushing and thick-necked.

He glared at Jiang Yu, then turned his gaze to Xu Xin: "As far as I know, you had a quarrel with the plaintiff when you were in the private school. You said that the deceased called the plaintiff's name, but you were the only one who heard it. Why did the plaintiff say it before?" The screams were heard by others, but you were the only one who heard the deceased calling the plaintiff's name? Also, since you heard it at the time, why didn't you tell the Yamen as soon as possible, instead of spreading rumors?"

Xu Xin raised his head abruptly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say: "Because the first floor was telling a story, and the storyteller was hitting the gavel when Su Lan screamed. The hall was very quiet, so I could hear it. Later, I rushed upstairs. , I heard Mr. He calling Su Lan's name, but at that time the storytelling ended downstairs, the whole room was full of applause, it was very noisy, if I wasn't close, I wouldn't be able to hear it.

As for... As for why I didn't say it before, because I was already scared to death!She has been my classmate for so many years. Although we have frictions, I also know in my heart that she is a kind-hearted person. Who knows that she knows people, faces but doesn't know her heart, but she is so courageous!She is so vicious!She dares to kill!

When I remembered, she had already been released by the yamen. I was afraid that I would rush to the yamen to file a complaint, and she would find out that she would take revenge on me!But... But I was afraid when I didn't say it, it was stuck in my heart, and I was uncomfortable. I am usually the most talkative person, and I know it myself. It's out of control, even the rumors can't stop it..."

By the end, she was sobbing softly.
