"sorry……"

Xiao Ran was arranging his clothes and was a little surprised when he suddenly heard Liu Si's words.

"What are you sorry for?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows.

"I...I lied to you."

After saying that, Liu Si burst into tears again, this time because she felt that she had done something evil.

"Oh! Stop crying. I already knew you lied to me." Xiao Ran looked at the child crying and didn't know how to comfort the child for a while.

He hurriedly wiped away Liu Si's tears and patted her shoulder.

"Okay, I don't blame you."

Liu Si sobbed and then slowly stopped crying.

"Do you know where she is?"

Liu Si shook her head and nodded again.

"I don't know, but I know a place."

"Where."

It turns out that there are two huts in this woods, one is by the pond, and the other is on the east side, where is a cemetery.

There was an old man guarding the tomb there before, and the couple let Liu Si pass by.

But later the old man died and the house became free.

"You mean, these two houses are the most likely?"

Since the woman asked Liu Si to lead her to the pond, the cemetery was most likely where Zhao Xue was imprisoned.

"Where is the cemetery?"

Liu Si looked at Xiao Ran. If she took Xiao Ran there now, she would definitely meet a woman, and her fate could be imagined.

But after the scene just now, Liu Si felt that she could trust the person in front of her.

It's just that after Xiao Ran leaves, it will be difficult for him to live in this house.

"I'll take you."

Even though she was a little scared, Liu Si decided to take Xiao Ran there.

In any case, Xiao Ran can be regarded as his savior now. If it weren't for Xiao Ran, he would have died long ago.

Even at that moment, I wished I could die here and not have to go back and face those sufferings again.

Xiao Ran nodded, a little moved.

But I also made a decision in my heart.

Seeing that it was already late at night, he had to hurry up.

Following Liu Si, Xiao Ran felt more and more desolate as he walked.

It wasn't until we left the woods that we saw a passage leading between two mountains.

It was completely different from just now. This area was very desolate and uninhabited. It was indeed a good location for the cemetery.

"You're not going to take me to a ravine, are you?"

Although she felt that Liu Si would not lie to herself, this area was so eerie that everyone would be a little scared.

"I'm a little scared too."

It was also the first time Liu Si came here at night and couldn't help but get closer to Xiao Ran.

"There's only one road here, just keep going, right?"

Liu Si nodded, Xiao Ran simply walked in front of Liu Si, it would be the same without leading the way anyway.

As a grown man, I can't let Liu Si run ahead.

"How far is it?" Xiao Ran was a little annoyed.

It is estimated that it will be dawn in an hour or two.

"We'll have to walk like this for another quarter of an hour."

Liu Si pulled on Xiao Ran's sleeves with some fear.

As the two of them walked forward, a sudden gust of wind blew. Xiao Ran noticed that there were many signs erected in front of them, but they couldn't see clearly in the dark night.

When I walked in, I discovered that there were tombstones one after another. Although I am an absolute materialist, I couldn't help but feel a beat in my heart.

"Where is the cabin? Why didn't I see it?"

"Beside."

Pointing to the side, Xiao Ran saw clearly that there was indeed something like a house in the dark night.

"Walk!"

When I walked in, I saw that there seemed to be some light in the house, but it was very weak and could not be seen clearly at all.

But I could still hear the voices of people talking inside, and there was more than one person.

Xiao Ran didn't dare to get too close, otherwise he would be easily discovered.

There were men's voices and women's voices inside. Could it be that her husband just woke up?

Xiao Ran was not sure.

He could only let Liu Si wait for him where he was and quietly touch it by himself.

Going to the window, Xiao Ran was a little nervous.

If there were really others inside, it would be very risky for me to come forward.

…………

Chu Yanhong didn't sleep all night, and Xiao Ran had no news at all. She didn't know if something happened.

Just after dawn, someone came from the Yamen, telling Chu Yanhong and Xiao Ran to hurry over.

Without Xiao Ran around, Chu Yanhong seemed to have lost her backbone.

"Damn it!" Chu Yanhong was angry. This Xiao Ran wouldn't take the opportunity to run away, right?

Leave yourself to go to jail alone?

It happened that I had not been involved in the investigation these days. Even with the clothes, it was difficult to explain clearly.

"well……"

Reluctantly, I opened the secret compartment and prepared to bring the evidence there, maybe I could still struggle a little.

Opening the secret compartment, I discovered that there was a package inside.

Only the two of them knew about this secret compartment. Chu Yanhong was slightly surprised when she opened the contents inside, and then took them out.

Arriving at the door of the room, the people from the yamen couldn't wait.

"Where's Xiao Ran?"

Seeing that Chu Yanhong was the only one, the officers and soldiers frowned.

"I don't know." Chu Yanhong said honestly.

"You don't know?" The officers and soldiers looked suspicious.

"right."

The two officers and soldiers looked at each other and then left with Chu Yanhong.

If Xiao Ran never showed up, the only result would be to be wanted.

When Chu Yanhong came to the Yamen, she was still the county master from last time.

"Chu Yanhong, what do you have to defend this time?"

Chu Yanhong took out the two packages and opened them one by one. Seeing these two things, the people on the seats seemed a little surprised.

"These are the clothes of our servants of the Chu family, the same ones who tampered with our silk fabrics in the first place."

The evidence was put out, but there was still no reaction from the person above.

"This does not prove that the matter has nothing to do with you! On the contrary, it is your Chu family's clothes. Doesn't that further prove that it was you, Chu Yanhong, who did it!" Wang Shiying seemed to have decided to pour dirty water on Chu Yanhong's head.

"and this!"

Chu Yanhong looked at another package, which contained the buy-one-get-one-free silk satin.

"What is this!" Wang Shiying was a little impatient.

If Gu Wei hadn't run out last time, he would have already convicted Chu Yanhong, so why wait three more days.

"This is the silk we sold. Didn't those people sue us that there is something wrong with the silk?"

"My lord, just call the doctor and see what's up there."

Although the silk satin had been tampered with, before taking it away, Chu Yanhong looked carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with the silk satin.

"Fart! Do you think so?"

"You still call me doctor? Who knows if you just took a piece of silk and said it was evidence? Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

Chu Yanhong's face turned pale, and she understood in her heart that Wang Shiying had no intention of giving them a chance to stand up.

No matter how much evidence she presents, Wang Shiying can deny it.

"Master Wang, I hope you can find a doctor first. As for this silk..."

"You can find the people who sold the silk at Chu's house that day. They can definitely confirm whether it was sold that day." Chu Yanhong clenched her fists.
