Chapter 135: The Widow with Many Troublesome People (3)

After Mu Zhou pointed out that Chu Caiyan was a woman, the scene became quiet for a moment.

Chu Caiyan looked at Chu Jinyao, who remained expressionless, and could not help but said to Mu Zhou:

"How did my sister-in-law find out?"

Mu Zhou frowned shyly: "The general has a unique woman's scent. I have been sensitive to smells since I was a child."

In fact, Chu Caiyan was very successful in disguising herself as a man, and no one in the army noticed. In addition, she was tall and had broad shoulders, so almost no one associated her with a woman.

After hearing what Mu Zhou said, she raised her arm curiously and smelled herself.

Although he didn't smell anything, he still felt a little guilty in front of Mu Zhou.

After all, she was just suspecting that the other party had ulterior motives.

But in fact, the other party took the risk to ask for help because he saw that she was also a woman.

Thinking of this, Chu Caiyan no longer looked at her uncle's cold face and agreed immediately:

"Okay, if sister-in-law has decided, we will set off together tomorrow."

Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and curled the corners of his lips:

"Thank you, General."

The sadness in her eyes faded a little, leaving only a bright light.

The moment she looked over, Chu Jinyao calmly withdrew his gaze and continued to wipe the long sword in his hand.

*

The next morning, the army set out for Beijing, leaving only a small team behind.

Chu Caiyan and Chu Jinyao are both in the team.

This team was composed of seriously injured soldiers, and they moved slowly, so it was just right for Mu Zhou to follow them.

Early in the morning, Chu Caiyan brought people to break down Uncle Mu Zhou's door.

Everyone in the village loves to be lively, and soon the door was surrounded by neighbors, chattering non-stop.

In the yard, Mu Zhou's aunt was frightened out of her wits when she saw her husband being pinned down by several tall soldiers and unable to get up.

"General, I'll take out the deed right now. Can't we just move out?"

Mu Zhou's uncle still looked unconvinced:

"You take human life lightly, have no law, and oppress the people. I, I want to sue the authorities!"

He glared fiercely at Mu Zhou who was pretending to be pitiful:

"Bah, you heartless little girl! We raised you out of kindness, and you actually teamed up with outsiders to steal our things!"

The neighbors around also had only a vague idea of ​​what was going on and were talking about it.

Chu Caiyan was not good at speaking. Seeing him speaking evil words and about to continue to attack, Mu Zhou stopped her and said softly to her uncle:

"Uncle, this house is the only thing my parents left me. Even if I file a complaint with the authorities, the county magistrate will still make the decision for my niece, but..."

Mu Zhou paused for a moment before continuing, "Although uncle doesn't care about my niece's life or death, I can't ignore our relationship. Since uncle wants to live here, I will sell it to him and his family. I will also have the money to go to my aunt and no longer have to worry about him and his family taking care of me."

Mu Zhou explained the matter in a few simple words and voluntarily gave up his house, which naturally led to his neighbors speaking up for him.

Chu Caiyan thought that was right. Mu Zhou would follow them to the capital anyway, so there was no point in keeping the house. So she signaled her men to take the couple to get the silver.

Although my uncle didn't want to pay the money, he had to agree because of the gossip of these soldiers and neighbors, and reluctantly paid the money.

Mu Zhou got the money and left with Chu Caiyan.

People also came from the yamen.

The clan leader tremblingly led everyone to the ancestral hall, and then the village chief Li Da was arrested by the yamen runners.

Li Da was confused and even a little angry when he was suddenly controlled.

But when the patriarch told Mu Zhou about the dirty tricks he had accused him of, he looked at Mu Zhou behind the crowd in disbelief.

He thought that such a thing would be too embarrassing for a woman to talk about, and Mu Zhou would not tell anyone.

But unexpectedly, Mu Zhou not only told the truth, but also reported it to the police.

But Li Da changed his mind and realized that Mu Zhou had no evidence, so it would be fine if he just insisted on denying it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he saw another woman come forward to testify.

"It was that beast Li Da who forced me to marry into the neighboring village."

The woman who was speaking was also a widow in the village. Not long after her husband died, she hurriedly married to a man from a neighboring village.

After she came forward to testify, several other women soon came forward.

Mu Zhou watched all this silently.

Originally, before she persuaded others, she had thought that if no one was willing to come forward to testify, she would simply design Li Da to fall into the pond and die, and then collect some evidence in his home and make it public.

However, what she didn't expect was that these women were extremely brave. When they heard that Mu Zhou had reported to the police and had the support of the Jade-faced King of Hell Chu Jinyao behind him, they all agreed after just a moment's thought.

After all, everyone had hated Li Da for a long time, but they were afraid that if the truth was revealed, not only would their reputation be ruined, but Li Da would also not be punished, so they had been enduring it.

Everyone knew that Mu Zhou's husband Lin Yang had died in battle and was brought back personally by Chu Jinyao and others, so they naturally believed Mu Zhou's words.

But in fact, Chu Jinyao had no idea about this matter before.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhou looked at Chu Jinyao who was sitting in the first seat.

I quietly borrowed his reputation, I think he shouldn't mind.

She looked away feeling a little guilty.

In the end, under the accusations of many people, Li Da was dismissed from his position as village chief, and because he had forced more than one decent woman to death, Chu Jinyao wrote a letter on the spot and handed it to the yamen runner, ordering him to be executed immediately.

Chu Jinyao was famous and had just won a victory, so the county magistrate naturally would not refuse his honor.

Before Mu Zhou and others left, the sentence of immediate execution had already been issued.

*

Mu Zhou cut the Gordian knot and got the desired result, and the original owner's wish was also successfully fulfilled.

When she was about to leave the ancestral hall and go back to pack her things, she saw Liang Wei standing aside, looking at her inquiringly.

Mu Zhou was not very familiar with her, so he glanced at her without stopping and turned to walk home.

Although there was no conversation, Mu Zhou knew very well what she was thinking.

She must be wondering if she was also reborn.

That’s right, the supporting actress Liang Wei is a reborn girl.

The plot that happened was completely different from that in her previous life. Liang Wei must have been very panicked. Why did her fate change when she was a woman who should have been drowned?

I guess Liang Wei has become suspicious.

However, Mu Zhou did not intend to admit it.

*

Mu Zhou gave the Lin family's house to a neighboring family free of charge.

This family was very kind and often gave Lin Yang food when he was little.

Mu Zhou had only one request, which was that he could help sweep Lin Yang's grave during the holidays. She would be very grateful.

The neighbor naturally agreed.

In the end, Mu Zhou simply picked up a bag and left with the silver given by his uncle.

But before she left, she had one thing to do.

*

It was three quarters past noon, the sun was scorching, and the villagers were mostly resting after lunch.

The whole village seemed empty, without even the sounds of chickens crowing or dogs barking.

Mu Zhou quietly came to the back of his uncle's house, took out a tinder, lit a piece of clothes wrapped in lamp oil, and threw it into the straw pile in the side room.

Only after watching the fire begin to spread did Mu Zhou leave with peace of mind.

She wants money, but she won't give her the house.
