Zhang Qiaoer lowered his head again and shed tears.
"I didn't, I wasn't-"
In order to prevent anyone from really misunderstanding and spreading bad news, Meng Li said: "They didn't even touch my clothes. When they wanted to do something bad to me, they were drugged by me. Just don't worry."
"Now I have to trouble the villagers to help me send these people to the county government. If you are willing to send them, I will give you 100 Wen for this trip."
Meng Li said and took off the money bag.
An uncle stretched out his hand to stop her: "Li Yatou, from this village, don't be so open-minded. When we encounter someone who wants to harm our village, we will never sit idly by and do nothing. If we don't help you in the front, we will send you to the Yamen." Just leave it to us.”
The uncle waved his hand, and others responded and grabbed these people.
Meng Li felt warm in her heart, so she took some broken silver and handed it to the uncle.
"So many people have to hire two or three carriages. It may be dark on this trip. We need money to stay in the county for food and accommodation. I know everyone is kind-hearted, but I can't let you waste your money."
"Otherwise, it won't be easy to call everyone if anything happens in the future. What's left will be kept by my uncles and brothers to buy one or two meals of meat to show sympathy for everyone's hard work."
The uncle saw that the girl was sincere and took it over.
"No problem, I guarantee it will be done smoothly for you."
"I'll go with everyone," Meng Ning said, "so I can make arrangements for everyone."
After all, it's about the eldest sister. There's no reason why the Meng family's second room has to have someone.
Meng Li was also about to say that Lu Mu and his second brother were going to one.
"Okay, second brother, be careful along the way."
Meng Li gave her second brother a wink. This matter is not just about taking people away and locking them up.
Meng Ning also understood what her eldest sister meant and nodded to her.
The villagers dragged the second-rate men towards the county seat. Their feet were dragged to the ground and were bruised by the rough stones. They all screamed and protested, but no one paid any attention to them. , and those who shouted louder would be kicked once or twice.
Meng Li watched the people go away, thinking that it would be quick to hire a carriage when they got to the town.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go back."
Most of the people who stayed were women. Everyone knew what Zhang Qiaoer was thinking, so they all walked next to Meng Li, leaving Zhang Qiaoer aside in the cold.
Meng Yao hugged her eldest sister's arm tightly, and Lu Mu followed Meng Li.
When he first came to look for someone, the man was striding forward with a serious aura.
Now that he has restrained all his aura, his sense of presence has been greatly reduced.
Meng Li couldn't help but think of the man walking with long legs and a group of villagers behind him. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold frost, and there was a hint of urgency.
Are you worried about her?
Looking at the man again, his expression was as usual, and he couldn't find the feeling he had just now.
"There's something fishy about this matter," Meng Li said.
"Girl Li, what are you talking about? What's the matter?" Aunt Zhao asked.
Meng Li said: "The people in the refugee village have been driven away by Xihe Village and Donghe Village many times. Even in groups, they don't dare to take this road. This time they are so bold. I'm afraid someone deliberately arranged it. , If you want to do harm to the people in our village, you will rob men when you meet them, and you will behave inappropriately when you meet women."
As she said this, she glanced at Zhang Qiaoer, and sure enough, Zhang Qiaoer's expression changed, which was a sign of guilty conscience.
In this way, Meng Li's suspicion was confirmed.
If those people get their hands on her, and her reputation is damaged, and she is criticized by others, will Lu Mu feel psychological pressure and want to leave the Meng family?
Who benefits?
The second brother has already followed him to the county seat. The second brother is smart and will definitely let the people from the county government ask him about it.
It was really Zhang Qiaoer who did it, let her shed a layer of skin.
When everyone heard that this was possible, they were all speechless.
"Who has such a bad heart?" an aunt said angrily, "It's really like this. If I find out, I won't let him go easily."
An aunt immediately cast her eyes on Zhang Qiaoer, and she thought of what Meng Li thought of.
"Zhang Qiao'er, along the way you have tried every means to make sure that girl Li must have been treated by those people. Why are you so active?"
Meng Li's mind automatically generated a set of tea words and tea colors.
She could imagine what Zhang Qiaoer would say and what kind of expression he would match.
Another young daughter-in-law said: "You were the first to spread the news that Meng Li might be in danger in the village. You were also the first to go to the second room of Meng's house to call for help. You must be too well-informed."
Zhang Qiaoer was immediately stared at by several pairs of eyes, which seemed to be piercing, making her knees so weak that she could not move away.
"I, I'm just worried. I think the same as everyone else. I don't want sister Meng Li to be harmed. I'm afraid. Third Aunt Wang, you can't think of me like this."
Zhang Qiaoer said, pressing the corners of his eyes again, looking pitiful.
"Fifth sister-in-law from the farm, if you want to say that I was the one who spread the news, then you will doubt me. That would be very unfair to me. If I see any danger in the future, I won't dare tell the villagers, lest they think it was me who called me. people."
"I worked hard to follow you all the way, but I didn't expect that my good intentions were misunderstood, and people made such malicious speculations. You guys, you are really going too far."
The more Zhang Qiaoer talked, the more aggrieved she became, and finally she burst into tears.
"Okay, what happened? The Yamen will investigate and interrogate those people. Zhang Qiaoer is also from our village. I believe she will not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit herself. Otherwise , can she still stay?" said an aunt named Chen.
"There is no result yet, so please don't speculate."
No one said anything, but the seeds of suspicion were planted in their hearts. The more they thought about this matter, the more they felt that Zhang Qiaoer was the most suspicious.
Who else has this motive except her?
Meng Li observed the situation, and after hearing what Aunt Chen said, Zhang Qiaoer was not very nervous. Could it be that she had already taken precautions, or that it was not her fault and had something to do with the people in Caiyun Pavilion?
However, with Caiyun Pavilion Boss' ability, he would not choose these second-rate men to deal with her, at least they are thugs or something like that.
Zhang Qiaoer sobbed and followed everyone while secretly observing Lu Mu.
Lu Mu was beside Meng Li. Although he didn't speak much, there was an indescribable harmony and tacit understanding that stung her eyes.
Thinking of people and money are all reasons why she doesn't give up.
Zhang Qiaoer stubbornly believed that as long as Lu Mu and Meng Li were no longer together, the person would be hers because of the willingness of the two families to get married.
When I reached the village intersection, I immediately saw my elder brother waiting there.
The eldest brother's face was flushed with pain and he was anxious. He held one hand on the tree trunk next to him and stared at him.
Meng Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his eldest sister well in sight.
"How's it going? Have those second-rate guys done anything bad to my eldest sister?"
"Before they had time to harm the lady, they were knocked unconscious and tied up by the lady. They were sent to the Yamen, and the second brother followed them to the county seat." Lu Mu said.
Meng Wu nodded. With her eldest sister's ability, she didn't have to worry much even if she went out alone.
"That's good, that's good, those turtles, let the law take care of them." Meng Wu cursed.
They wanted to hit his eldest sister, but if he wasn't still recovering from his injuries, one of them would have punched them hard.
Zhang Qiaoer originally glanced at Meng Wu casually and looked away, but then she thought of something and her eyes fell on Meng Wu again.
Meng Wu was tall, handsome and resolute. Compared to Lu Muyin's vague nobility and elusiveness, Meng Wu had an authentic and simple aura all over his body.
Lu Mu and Meng Li were already married, but Meng Wu hadn't asked about the marriage yet.
