Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

The weather is getting colder, winter is approaching step by step, and the nights are getting dark earlier than ever before.

An hour ago, it was still bathed in the scattered warm sunshine, but when I lowered my head and raised my eyes, the night had already covered the earth.

Time really flies like an arrow.

On the only road leading to the outside of Hexi Village, two figures, one tall and one short, were running hurriedly out of the village.

When they were about to leave the big poplar tree at the entrance of the village, several figures suddenly appeared from behind the tree, lined up in a row, and blocked their way.

The torches were lit one by one, reflecting the faces of the people. Who else could be the leader but Luo Xiaoran?

It turned out that this morning, Luo Xiaoran pretended to drive away with Luo Xingchen and Du Kongqing in order to give Zhang Xiaohe an opportunity.

But after the carriage drove out of the village, the three of them quietly hurried back, took another less frequently traveled road, and went to the village chief's house.

Luo Xiaoran asked the village chief for help on the pretext of having something to do, and asked the village chief to go to the county town with them.

Village chief Zhang has a good impression of the young girl Luo Xiaoran. After all, she has provided a lot of jobs for their village when she first arrived.

So, without thinking too much, he agreed and got on the carriage.

Not long after they left, Luo Xiaoran made an excuse that she had left something at home and had to go home first.

Fortunately, this operation successfully allowed Village Chief Zhang to witness Zhang Xiaohe running away from Luo Xiaoran's house.

Several people hurried to the yard and found from a distance that the door was half open.

Du Kongqing picked up the broken door lock and turned to look at Luo Xiaoran and the village chief, mainly the village chief.

"The lock was broken. I'm afraid it was robbed. Xiao Ran, can you check to see if anything is missing?"

Luo Xiaoran hurried into the house and came out with a gloomy face: "The jewelry I put in the drawer is gone."

Du Kongqing exclaimed, and then replied very smoothly: "Oh, where's the golden hairpin? It's gone too?"

"Yeah." Luo Xiaoran glanced at her and was very "sad": Kong Qing, your acting was a bit exaggerated.

Du Kongqing looked at Village Chief Zhang anxiously, with an angry look on his face. He wished he could rush out and grab Zhang Xiaohe to confront him.

"Village chief, Xiao Ran signed a contract with our villagers yesterday, asking them to work as temporary workers to take care of the land.

When I came back, I ran into Zhang Xiaohe. He was sneaking around. I was afraid he might have taken his father's room key and was planning to do something sneaky."

"How could such a thing happen!" Village Chief Zhang was also very shocked.

Under his leadership, although Hexi Village cannot be said to be a wealthy and prosperous land of fish and rice, it is at least a place with good public security, and there has not been any theft of valuables in several years.

The main thing is that in your village, most people don’t have any valuables.

Du Kongqing then complained to the village chief:

"Because Xiao Ran's family is a family of two siblings who depend on each other for survival and there is no adult at home, Xiao Ran changed the door lock in advance, thinking it would be safer, so Zhang Xiaohe was not successful.

I didn't expect him to come again today!

You just saw it. Zhang Xiaohe had just left when we found the door lock was broken and the jewelry was stolen. If it wasn't Zhang Xiaohe who did it, who else could it be!"

"If that's the case, then it's most likely Zhang Xiaohe who did it.

I originally thought that he was just a lazy guy, but I didn't expect that he would do such a sneaky thing.

"Xiao Ran, what are you going to do? Report to the police or tie him up and throw him into the ancestral hall first?"

The village chief’s meaning is very clear: one is a public settlement, the other is a private settlement. These are the two ways, and you are worth choosing.

Luo Xiaoran said she wanted to keep a low profile: "Village head, you know, I just arrived and I wanted to take good care of my brother and live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen.

If I report this to the county government, it will definitely make a big fuss, and the reputation of Hexi Village will be damaged.”

When the village chief heard this, his face was slightly hot, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or angry:

"Xiao Ran, you don't have to worry. I, Zhang Changzong, have a clear conscience as the head of Hexi Village. Zhang Xiaohe is guilty of his own dirty deeds. What has this got to do with our Hexi Village?"

“After much thought, I decided not to make a big deal out of it.

Why don't you, village chief, help me go to Zhang Xiaohe's house first and test the waters, pretending to accidentally reveal the news that my house has been robbed, and tell him that I want to report it to the police.

Finally, you have to tell him that if someone returns all the jewelry that was stolen from me tomorrow, I will no longer care about this matter. "

"Xiao Ran, you are too kind. You still give him a chance to turn back. I hope this kid can turn back in time. I'll go now!" After saying this, Village Chief Zhang put his hands behind his back and rushed towards Zhang Xiaohe's house.

The consequence of this move of alerting the enemy was that Luo Xiaoran, along with Du Kongqing and Niu Shubao, successfully blocked Zhang Erhe and Wang Xiaofeng at the entrance of the village.

Afterwards, everyone searched out Luo Xiaoran’s lost belongings from the bags they were carrying.

No need to ask, the only thing you need to know is that these two people heard the news and agreed to flee together.

Poor Zhang Xiaohe is probably still being kept in the dark. No, he is being kept in the dark.

Luo Xiaoran had Zhang Erhe and Wang Xiaofeng taken to the village chief's house, explained the situation, and asked them to gather the villagers to open the ancestral hall.

This was the brightest night since Luo Xiaoran came to Hexi Village.

The small ancestral hall was filled with candles, and the surrounding villagers were holding torches in their hands, making everyone's face turn yellow.

Village Chief Zhang's beard was twisted with anger: "Wasn't it Zhang Xiaohe who stole it? How did he find it on these two?"

Zhang Erhe and Wang Xiaofeng knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and said nothing.

What’s interesting is that the two people were kneeling far apart, and there was room for at least two more to kneel in between.

Luo Xiaoran silently said: "Actually, I'm also very curious, what are they doing so late at night?

If anyone was going to run away, it should be Zhang Xiaohe and Wang Xiaofeng who should run away together. How did Zhang Erhe get involved in this matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy villagers around him immediately quieted down, and all kinds of suspicious eyes were looking at the two people kneeling in the room.

Suddenly, a sturdy woman broke through the crowd and rushed in. Because her back was facing Luo Xiaoran, Luo Xiaoran could not see what she looked like.

The sturdy woman pounced on Zhang Erhe and started scratching, scratching, slapping and beating him.

"You bastard, you did such a shameless thing. How can Hu Zi and I live?"

After saying that, she wanted to pounce on Wang Xiaofeng, but was pulled away by people ordered by the village chief.

The strong woman was dragged away, but she kept saying, "Wang Xiaofeng, you shameless bitch! You seduced your own uncle and you are not a good wife. You will not live a good life!"

"Li Xinghua!" Village chief Zhang stood up from the stool and looked at Li Xinghua seriously.

Since Li Xinghua let the cat out of the bag, the story between Zhang Erhe and Wang Xiaofeng is most likely true.

In addition, the two of them eloped with Miss Luo's property, and the remaining 20% ​​was also made up.
