Time is slow

   Chapter 402 Silence

   After listening to Shanzi's astonishing words, everyone present looked calm, and Shao Mingyuan asked indifferently, "Is that person Tie Zhu?"

  Shanzi took a few steps back, looked at Shao Mingyuan in astonishment, and said, "How do you know?"

   This is an admission.

  Yang Houcheng sighed secretly.

   The boy was still too immature, and he was fooled by Tingquan in a few words.

   "Shanzi, can you invite Tie Zhu to come and talk?"

  Shanzi looked a little uncomfortable and kept shaking his head.

   Shao Mingyuan said warmly: "Don't be afraid, we only care who the murderer is and whether it has something to do with the fire in the Qiao family. As for the rest, we don't care."

   This is to imply that Shanzi, whether it is the relationship between Shanzi and Tiezhu, or the relationship between Tiezhu and Tofu Xishi, they will not talk much.

  Shanzi went to school since he was a child. Although his vision and knowledge were far from that of the sons and brothers of wealthy families in Beijing, he was naturally intelligent and quickly understood what Shao Mingyuan said.

  The young man couldn't help but hesitate, and his heart was at war between heaven and man.

  The fact that Mother and Uncle Tie Zhu were together was unknown to the villagers, but it took a long time for him to slowly accept it when he discovered it by accident. For nothing else, my mother worked hard to raise him and help him study. Finally, there is a good person who is willing to be nice to my mother and make her life less hard. Even if he is reluctant, he should think about it for his mother. Can't be too selfish.

   But in the eyes of the villagers, it is shameful for Mother and Uncle Tie Zhu to do this. Once they know about it, they will definitely point at Mother. Although his mother was gone now, he didn't want to expose the relationship between her and Tie Zhu's uncle, causing her to be stabbed in the spine.

   However, he is even more unwilling to let the murderer who killed his mother go unpunished!

   Seeing the young man's unpredictable expression, Shao Mingyuan sighed softly: "Bringing the murderer to justice and letting the deceased close their eyes is true filial piety for the son of man."

   From the fact that the young man in front of him can accept his mother to be with others, he can know that this young man is not a pedantic and selfish person, and it is not difficult for him to help them find the murderer by explaining the truth.

   Sure enough, after Shao Mingyuan said this, Shanzi was shocked. After struggling for a while, he nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and invite Uncle Tie Zhu to come over."

   The boy turned around and ran out. Shao Mingyuan gave Chenguang a wink, Chenguang nodded knowingly, and followed silently.

   There was only one of his own in the room, Yang Houcheng smiled and said, "Tingquan, Miss Li, I didn't expect you to expect it. That Tie Zhu and Tofu Xi Shi are indeed lovers."

  Chi Can rubbed his face irritably and muttered, "I still can't figure it out."

   "Can't figure out what?" Shao Mingyuan asked with a smile.

   "His mother steals someone, and he still covers it? Most people have to cut ties with their mother when they encounter this kind of thing?"

   Shao Mingyuan glanced over Qiao Zhao's face and sighed, "For some people, secular prejudice is far less important than the happiness of the loved one."

   Chi Can was stunned.

is that so?

   So, shouldn't he also let go of his heart and accept his mother's support?

   always felt that something was wrong, he seemed to be surrounded again.

  Child Master Chi remembered the mess in his house, and his heart suddenly became numb.

  Shanzi trotted all the way to the door of Tie Zhu's house and knocked on the door.

   "Who is it?" Tie Zhu's voice came from inside.

   "Uncle Tiezhu, it's me—"

  The door opened all of a sudden, Tie Zhu looked left and right, and seeing no one around, he immediately pulled Shanzi in, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here at this time, don't worry about others seeing?"

  The morning light who followed behind quietly climbed up a tall tree leaning against the courtyard wall.

   "Uncle Tiezhu, come with me to my house."

   "Shanzi, you—"

   "Uncle Tie Zhu, I have already told Hou Ye that you saw the murderer, and Hou Ye wants to see you."

  Tie Zhu's face changed greatly: "Shanzi, how can you say it? I don't know whether those people are reliable or not. What if they also harm others?"

   "Uncle Tie Zhu, I think they are good people."

  Tie Zhu stomped his feet: "Shanzi, you are still young, how can you tell the good from the bad from the surface!"

   "But that Marquis knew that my mother was killed—"

   "What, how did he know?"

   "As soon as he moved in, he had the inspector inspect it. I also heard him say so, and decided to tell the truth. Uncle Tie Zhu, if we miss this time, my mother will really die in vain."

  Tie Zhu was silent for a while, then sighed: "You're right, that's fine, Shanzi, uncle come with you."

   Seeing the two of them walk out of the courtyard door lightly, the morning light fell silently and quietly followed behind.

   Standing in front of Shao Mingyuan and the others again, Tie Zhu was much more cramped than Shan Zi, and he didn't speak for a while.

   Shao Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Brother Tie Zhu, we meet again."

  Tie Zhu blushed instantly and nodded casually.

   "Please sit." Shao Mingyuan pointed at the seat next to him. His voice was gentle, even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he had the power to soothe people's hearts.

   Qiao Zhao couldn't help but think that such a good-natured man looks completely different on the battlefield.

   On that day, he stood under the city wall, facing the clamor of the Tartars, with a heart like iron, with ice on his brows, and indifferent majesty in his eyes.

   Such a contradictory temperament, it is also very interesting to appear in the same person.

  The girl's long-term gaze made Shao Mingyuan turn his head and glance at her.

  Why does Zhaozhao keep staring at him?

   He has been busy since going down the mountain today. He hasn't been able to take care of his grooming yet. Could it be that there is ashes on his face?

   The young general calmly raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. Seeing that the pulp of his fingers was clean, he was even more puzzled.

   But it's good if Zhaozhao is willing to see him.

  Shao Mingyuan thought of this, his ears turned red quietly, and then he continued: "Brother Tiezhu, Shanzi has already told us just now, and now please tell us in detail how you saw the murderer."

  Yang Houcheng touched his nose.

  Tingquan began to use ambiguous words to fool people again.

  Tie Zhu couldn't help but glance at Shanzi.

  Shanzi felt that there was nothing wrong with what Shao Mingyuan said, so he nodded.

  Tie Zhu had no worries at all, opened his mouth and said, "After I said it, will you tell me about Xiuniang and me?"

   Don't ask any further questions, the "Xiu Niang" in Tie Zhu's mouth must be tofu Xishi.

  Shao Mingyuan immediately said: "No, we are not people who like to gossip, we will leave after we find out the truth about the fire in the Qiao family."

   "Then will you guarantee the safety of me and Shanzi?" Tie Zhu asked again.

   These words aroused everyone's interest.

  Shao Mingyuan said calmly: "This is natural. Big Brother Tie Zhu has provided us with help, we are very grateful, and of course we will protect the safety of you and Shanzi. But Big Brother Tie Zhu is asking this, do you have any concerns?"

  Tie Zhu's eyes flashed with fear: "Someone in the village was drunk and said that Xiu Niang was killed by someone, and that person died not long after saying this."

   The twenty-first update. This is more, thanks to the naughty little girl who rewarded He Shibi in January.
