(Text) 3-13 Zhao Qian's words to get rid of marriage
The training hall is the law enforcement agency in the village, headed by old man Tianji.
However, in general, old man Tianji will handle simple matters by himself, while major matters will be decided by the elders through voting.
When Yong Buli and the others arrived at the training hall, they found that there were many people present.
The village chief sat at the top, and Zhao Qian stood beside the village chief.
Twelve elders sat on both sides, including Yu Wenmin's father, Chang Zhen's father, and Nan's father, a man with a broken arm.
Han Zinan stood behind his father with a group of men.
When the village chief saw Tianji and others coming in, he said:
"Tianji, we sent people to find Shuizai, but we didn't expect you to bring him here."
"Shui Zai is a sensible kid. He came to me on his own."
"I've done something wrong, I'll ask you to help me!" Han Zinan's father said jokingly.
"If you have done anything wrong, just ask your son and you will know!"
Old Man Tianji still defends Shui Mufang very much.
"Tianji, what do you mean? They are all your apprentices, why do you still treat them differently?" Han Zinan's father said.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Everyone is here today. We also want to find out the whole story and who committed a taboo in the village!" said the village chief.
Immediately afterwards, Old Man Tianji also sat down in his seat, and Shui Mufang and Yong Buli stood behind Old Man Tianji.
"Village Chief, are you still doubting what my son said?"
When the village chief was asked this by Han Zinan's father, it was hard to say anything. After all, it was an in-law relationship.
"Dad Hanzi Nan, Shui Zai has been brought here, let the children make their own decisions. I believe that the village chief and the elders are all wise people, and will not wrongly accuse a good person, let alone allow evil people to do evil!
"
Old Man Tianji said.
At this time, Han Zinan stood up first and said:
"Village chief, elders, yesterday, my brothers and I went to find Zhao Qian. Just outside Zhao Qian's house, we saw Shui Zai lying outside the window and peeking. So we yelled, and Shui Zai started to fight with all his strength.
He ran away, so we quickly chased him."
"Dad, that's not what happened. The voice I heard yelling was clearly Shuizai, and the one peeking must be Han Zinan!" Zhao Qian whispered to the village chief.
"Stop talking, dad already knows what's going on. The elders will make their own decision!" the village chief replied in a low voice.
At this time, Old Man Tianji said to Shui Mufang:
"Shui Zai, come out and tell everyone what's going on!"
"Yes, Master!"
When Shui Mufang stood up, he saw Zhao Qian's eyes facing him, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He didn't know what to say, and he was still hemming and hawing.
"I...I...I..."
Han Zinan was happy on the side and said to Shui Mufang:
"Why did you run away yesterday?"
"I……"
"Did you peek at Zhao Qian taking a shower?"
"no no……"
"You are quibbling, then why did you run away? Are you feeling guilty? Tell me!"
"me……"
Shui Mufang saw Zhao Qian's eyes again, and his mouth became even more disgusting.
Yong Buli on the side was also very anxious and couldn't help but said to Shui Mufang:
"Shui Zai, you are right!"
Everyone stared at Shuizai, but Shuizai couldn't speak for a long time! He kept hesitating.
"Shui Zai, tell me, are you lying?" Han Zinan said in a threatening tone.
"Shui Zai, is it you?" the village chief also asked hastily.
"Waterboy!"
"Waterboy!"
Many voices echoed in Shui Mufang's mind, and he always wanted to speak, but Zhao Qian's eyes made him very nervous, making him unable to speak!
"Shui Zai! Speak quickly!" Yong Buli said loudly again.
"I didn't peek at Zhao Qian taking a shower, it was Han Zinan who did!"
When Yong Buli saw Shui Mufang finally shouted loudly, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a thumbs up.
"Father, village chief, elders, master, Shuizai, he is sophistry and telling lies with his eyes open! So many of us here saw him peeking at Zhao Qian taking a shower!" Han Zinan still argued hard.
"yes!"
"Yes! His name is Sophistry!"
"It was Shui Mufang who did it!"
Han Zinan’s men all stood up to testify!
"Village Chief, although I have only been in the village for a few days and don't know much about the situation in the village, I know that Han Zinan does have bad conduct, and only he can do such a thing!"
"I have bad conduct? You weren't there, so why do you say that?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm here or not. Judging from your bad habits in daily life, if you ask the villagers to come out and talk about it, who will believe that you didn't do it?"
"you……"
"What are you doing? Look at your facial features. They all have their own features. No one is convinced by the other."
"I……"
"What am I! I didn't say I hate you, but if you catch fire and I happen to have water in my hand, I will drink it in front of you."
"Father, village chief, elders, and master, you have to make the decision. My disciple and Zhao Qian have a long-standing engagement, why do you need to do such a thing as peeking in!"
"Return the engagement. I think, village chief, you should have terminated the engagement long ago. If your daughter marries such a person, do you want to ruin your daughter or destroy Qingyuan Village?"
After hearing this, everyone felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. They were happy that someone actually stood up and said this about this Han Zinan, but they were worried that Yong Buli might get into trouble because of this!
"You're right, you seem to be competing with my son for Zhao Qian?"
Han Zinan's father saw that his son was being reviled so much that no one was willing to speak out, so he stood up and said something.
"That's better than your son!"
Because Yong Buli was a little excited, he said it quickly!
It’s only in hindsight that you realize it when you look back!
Since Han Zinan is engaged to Zhao Qian, why would he take a peek!
Could it be that what he said was true?
Did Shuizai deceive himself?
Looking at Shuizai's expression at this time, he looked innocent.
You probably won’t lie to yourself!
Zhao Qian was so happy when she heard this! But she didn't show it, but kept it in her heart.
You know, for so many years, such a bandit-like man Nan has done all kinds of evil in the village, and no one can do anything about it. Even if he is imprisoned in the training hall, what will happen? He was released within a few days without any repentance.
, but it becomes more and more rampant!
"Village Chief, it was me who risked my life to save you when you were in danger. I even broke an arm for you! You won't listen to this kid's nonsense and confuse right and wrong!"
Han Zinan’s father started a drama of bitter love.
In fact, the village chief is also in a dilemma. He also knows that Han Zinan has a bad character. If his daughter is married to him, he will definitely live an unhappy life, but what can he do? You can't be ungrateful, and you must keep your promises.
When the village chief was hesitating, Zhao Qian stood up and spoke:
"Uncle, since it's about my marriage, please allow my niece to say something!"
Everyone looked at Zhao Qian.
"I know that my uncle once lost an arm in order to save my father. I also know that my father is a deeply affectionate person. He has always been grudges about this matter, so he agreed to my marriage to Han Zinan, but
There is a rule in the village that if you can find your ideal husband before Bonfire Night, you don't have to draw lots on Bonfire Night to decide your husband. However, I feel very strange. Why can't I be like a member of the village when I am also a member of the village?
Like other women, they choose their own husband? And why do you have to sacrifice my lifelong happiness in the matter between you? "
"this……"
Before Han Zinan's father could speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Qian:
"Elders and masters, I think everyone already knows whether the peeping incident this time is Han Zinan or Shui Zai. I think you can know it so well because this person usually causes trouble and does all kinds of evil. To
Right! But why aren’t you all willing to stand up and speak out? Is it because you care about my father’s favor, or are you unwilling to cause trouble for yourselves? "
"Zhao Qian, why don't you believe me? I didn't do it!" Han Zinan said again with a fierce look.
"You don't have to explain. I'm going to take this opportunity today to make it clear about our marriage! I will not marry you."
"Do you want to regret your marriage?"
"Zhao Qian!"
While Han Zinan was speaking, the village chief also called out.
"Dad, I know that you value love and righteousness. My daughter has told you many times, how can you be ungrateful and break your trust? However, the most important thing in your daughter's life is her life-long happiness! I think you are here
None of the elders or Master would want me to marry a heartless person who is full of bad deeds!"
"I don't agree!" the village chief's tone became more serious.
"Daddy!"
"Stop talking!"
"Dad, what if I find someone I like?"
Everyone's eyes were stunned again.
Zhao Qian walked to Yong Buli's side and continued:
"He is the one I like, Yong Buli!"
"He is not from this village! How can he marry you!" Han Zinan said.
"If he marries me, he will naturally become a member of this village."
After Zhao Qian finished speaking, she stretched out a hand and put it on Yong Buli's arm. She looked at Yong Buli affectionately and said:
"Brother Yong, you will stay in Qingyuan Village for Zhao Qian, right?"
"I……"
As soon as Yong Buli opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhao Qian:
"You will marry me too, right!"
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Yong Buli, hoping that he would nod in agreement!
Faced with the situation before him, Yong Buli couldn't get off the tiger!
I never expected that today I would be here to help Shui Mufang clear away the suspicion.
But he talked about his marriage to himself!
But is there any way to refuse?
It seems that there is no more. Do you really want to marry Zhao Qian?
Finally, after repeated ideological struggles, Yong Buli was forced to nod in agreement amid everyone's expectations.
Everyone showed a happy smile.
"Village Chief, look at your daughter, she is getting more and more outrageous. She actually broke her original promise and made a lifelong private contract with this man named Yong! Shouldn't you take better care of her!"
Han Zinan's father said reluctantly.
In fact, the village chief was happy in his heart, but due to his feelings, he didn't know how to find a way out for himself, so he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
"Zhao Qian, let me ask you, do you believe me?" Han Zinan spoke at this time.
"I don't believe anything you say!"
"So many people have testified for me, and you don't believe it?"
"Unless there's someone else!"
"I...then you must marry someone named Yong?"
"If I can't marry my brother Yong, I would rather die!"
"Disregarding the promises made by your father and my father?"
"Yes!"
"Okay! Since you said so, I won't embarrass you, but I want to duel with this man named Yong. If he beats me, I will never harass you again, and you two will be safe from now on. If
If I win, you can marry me with peace of mind! How about it?"
duel?
Yong Buli didn't even recover from his injuries, how could he have a chance to win?
"Okay!" Yu Wenmin's father clapped his hands in approval.
"Okay!" Changzhen's father also echoed.
Before Zhao Qian had time to think, all the elders spoke.
"Can……"
At this time, Old Man Tianji came to Zhao Qian's ear and said: "Stop talking, just follow what everyone said and give everyone a step to step down!"
"Yes, Master..."
Old Man Tianji pulled Zhao Qian's sleeve and shook his head, indicating not to say any more.
"Since this duel affects the agreement made more than ten years ago, I think it shouldn't be so hasty! Let's talk about it!" Yu Wenmin's father said.
"yes!"
"Actually, dueling is the best way!"
Everyone agreed.
Yu Wenmin’s father continued:
"I think that on the night of bonfire night, set up an arena, and any man who wants to marry Miss Zhao Qian can come on stage to duel! What do you think, village chief, Hanzi Nan's father, and elders?"
"Yes, yes, I agree with both hands!" Changzhen's father said.
"You want to give your son a chance!" Han Zinan's father said.
"Everyone is here to cheer for your son. Who among you doesn't know that your son is excellent in martial arts and who can beat him? It's just for the fun of the bonfire night! Are you afraid?" Yu Wenmin's father said.
"I'm worried about your son's life! I'm just worried about you! If it's okay for everyone to vote, it's okay for me!"
Then, all the elders raised their hands to express their approval.
In this way, a bonfire night competition for marriage was decided.
But there was one thing that made Yong Buli worried. When Yong Buli and Shui Mufang left the training hall, he saw Shui Mufang's expression showing a trace of pride and a little evil smile.
Let Yong Buli feel that this matter is not that simple.
