After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 277 We Don’t Want

So after the officials had rested, Xia Mo and his companions followed them into the city. They rented two ox carts from the village, plus the horse carriage of Zhang's servants, for a total of three.

Of course, Liu Yingying and Zhou had to ride in the same car with the officers. After all, they were witnesses and their safety had to be ensured.

As for why Xia Mo and his friends rented two ox carts, it was because Liu Zheng and two other men from the village were also going.

The reason is simple. Someone outside took advantage of Young Master Zhang's incident to spread rumors, saying black was white, and in the end it was made the fault of the girl from their Liujia Village. Who can tolerate this and who can't? Defending their reputation is urgent!

Therefore, everyone in Liujia Village supported Liu Zhengtong to go. After all, it was related to their own interests, and they couldn't just sit back and laugh at the already unlucky Liu Yingying.

This is also why there were so many people at Liu Yingying's house when the officials arrived.

When they first set out on the journey, Liu Yingying and Zhou were a little nervous, but then they thought about the fact that there were so many people accompanying them, and they gradually felt at ease and extremely moved.

Because of the sugar water they drank, the two officers had a good impression of the mother and daughter. They did not make things difficult for them and even chatted with them occasionally.

The horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts bumped forward, and the wheels left a long indentation on the ground.

Finally, Liu Yingying and Zhou arrived at the yamen smoothly.

It was not until then that Liu Yingying realized that, in addition to A Guang and the others who were kneeling, the village chief of Dashui Village and the man who had delivered the letter to her were also there.

Now that all the witnesses were present, Magistrate He, who was in a difficult situation, began the trial.

After comparing words, objects and handwriting, it was finally confirmed that this Gu Wenlang was indeed the Gu Wenlang from Dashui Village, and Zhao Xier's misdeeds were also thoroughly confirmed.

However, the culprit had already escaped, and County Magistrate He was unable to bring her back to apologize to Mr. Zhang. Helplessly, he listened to the advice of his lawyer and gave the Gu Mansion to Mr. Zhang as compensation.

This move has set a precedent in Qinghe County.

County Magistrate He meant that the matter ended here. If Mr. Zhang still held on to the matter after receiving the compensation, he would be ungrateful.

Facing the silent criticism from Magistrate He, Zhang Guanghong pretended not to understand and just spoke to Magistrate He with a stream of flowery words and flattered him profusely.

Everyone likes to hear good words, especially those that praise the merits and talents of the officials in front of everyone. It really touched County Magistrate He's heart.

Not surprisingly, Magistrate He gradually lost himself in the praises. The mood that had been suppressed for a day and a night finally became relaxed, and his frowning brows relaxed.

However, before he could laugh enough, Zhang Guanghong changed the subject and said that the reason he pursued the matter to the end was just to seek justice. Now that justice has been obtained, he is very grateful, but he does not want to pay compensation.

"What? You don't want it?" County Magistrate He's smile disappeared instantly. He frowned and stared at Zhang Guanghong with heavy eyes.

"No, I don't want any compensation, sir." Zhang Guanghong answered without any hesitation.

"I am not the kind of person who won't let go even if I am right. Secondly, some people believed Zhao Xier's words before. If I accept the compensation again, there will be many different opinions. I am afraid I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."

When Xia Mo heard this, he whispered to Ling Chuan, "This dismissive attitude is really smart. It turns out that the older you are, the wiser you are."

Ling Chuan nodded slightly, and felt that Master Zhang's move was very much to his liking. Didn't the little brother worry before that if Zhao Xier got into trouble, Master Zhang would be implicated? Now, with Master Zhang's magnanimous performance, even if someone suspected him at that time, they should quickly dispel their suspicions.

After all, Zhang Siyuan was safe and sound, and there was no real hatred between them. Would Mr. Zhang have to chase her thousands of miles and take her life? No.

Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked himself questions and answered them.

Inside, in the hall.

After hearing why Zhang Guanghong did not want the compensation, County Magistrate He was delighted, but his face looked very serious.

He confirmed again: "You really don't want it? You have to think it over carefully. Once you take it back, you won't be able to regret it whenever you want."

"Well, I have thought it through. But sir, I do have a suggestion, and I hope you can fulfill it."

County Magistrate He's eyebrows jumped: "...you say."

"Thank you, sir." After Zhang Guanghong bowed, he turned his head and looked at Zhou and Liu Yingying.

Then he said, "Sir, Miss Liu is the victim of the whole thing. Although my Yuan'er didn't really find her, Gu Wenlang really didn't treat her well. Why don't we give this house to her family as compensation?"

Zhang Guanghong's words were tactful, but everyone present could hear that he was referring to Liu Yingying, who was pitiful. Not only did she meet a heartless man, but she was also almost framed by his new lover.

Mr. Zhang was so generous that everyone in the hall was stunned.

To Sister Yingying? Xia Mo blinked. Did he hear it right?

She thought: If Sister Yingying accepts, then she and her aunt will become a wealthy family in the future, but will Sister Yingying and her aunt accept it?

"Mr. Zhang, do you mean to give it to us?" Zhou stuttered under the envious and jealous gazes of everyone, her tongue almost tied.

"That's right. A man's words are as good as his bond. Moreover, I am a businessman. Honesty is the most important thing to me. Naturally, I won't joke about this."

Zhang Guanghong said to the stunned Zhou, but no matter how he sounded...it didn't sound right.

County Magistrate He stared blankly: "..." Did he ever agree to it?

Unfortunately, Zhang Guanghong was cunning and Zhou had a brain short circuit, losing the ability to think, so their focus was not on this.

Zhou turned her head as if she was stuck. She looked at Liu Yingying and asked for her opinion with her eyes.

Liu Yingying thought for a moment and then declined: "I thank Mr. Zhang for his kindness, but I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, so we don't want this house."

Just like what she had confessed to her mother before, this was not a problem involving just one person. Gu Wenlang was wrong, and she was also wrong for being blindly confident.

Not to mention that there is the cruel and ruthless Zhao Xier here. Liu Yingying would be stupid to want this. She would want this because she thinks that Zhao Xier and her mother are living too comfortably.

"Since the girl says no, then don't." Zhou has calmed down now and supports her daughter unconditionally.

Hearing their refusal, County Magistrate He couldn't help but look at the mother and daughter with a higher regard, and his stiff expression became gentle.

Instead, the common people, who had just gone from being shocked to jealous and feeling sour all over, became excited first.

"You are so stubborn that you don't even want the good life that's right in front of you. I wish I was framed. That's a huge mansion. We ordinary people may not be able to buy even one tenth of that land even if we work hard for most of our lives!"

But the people around her were quite rational. "Don't daydream. If that woman's plot succeeds, even if Mr. Zhang doesn't kill Miss Liu, other people's spit will drown her. Would you be happy if it were you?"

"…I'm not happy about it, I'm just saying it."

Even if she is willing, her parents will never agree. Who would want to raise an old girl?
