"We were engaged before, but it was canceled due to some things, so we girls were asked to go to our sister's house to avoid the limelight and stay for a few days."
"Is this really the case?" Ji Xuan looked at that face and asked seriously.
The old man dodged for a moment and opened his lips slightly, but said nothing. At this time, the Zhang family's grandmother finally came out.
The clothes were shabby and old, and they didn't fit her very well. She looked old at first glance. The strange thing was that Zhang's grandmother's face was pale, with no color at all.
However,
The difference is that his eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, and his eyelids are also swollen and his expression cannot be seen.
Fang Wu naturally noticed this and asked, "Auntie, did you not sleep well last night?"
Because, she noticed that the old man remained silent and his eyes wandered, as if he was looking at the grandmother of the Zhang family who came out, but there was no focus.
Therefore, Fang Wu simply asked such a question.
"Yeah, it's been getting hotter and hotter these past two days, so I can't sleep." Grandma Zhang opened her mouth and said something that made people think she heard wrong.
"Is it getting hotter?" Fang Wu repeated.
This is April, and it has been windy and overcast these past few days. How can I say it is hot and humid?
"Yes, it's the beginning of summer." Zhang's grandma followed without caring, and poured water for several people while she was talking.
"This is April, did you tell me that it was the beginning of summer?" Zhang Xuan glanced at Zhang's grandma like she was a fool.
While watching Zhang Xuan eat at hundreds of restaurants when he was a child, he knew all these people, but he was not polite to anyone, he just accepted what he said, and he would never change his words just because it made someone uncomfortable.
If he changes, it means he thinks the person opposite is extraordinary.
"This...is it going to be soon? It's only about half a month." Grandma Zhang was a little uncomfortable, but she continued anyway.
Zhang Xuan nodded and said nothing more, but his eyes clearly had other opinions, but if he didn't say anything, no one knew what he had discovered.
"Before we came here, we met Matchmaker Wang in another village. Do you know this person?" Ji Xuan coughed and asked, his eyes full of inquiry.
The grandmother of the Zhang family doubted it without hesitation: "We know her. She introduced us to the Xue family before, but she didn't have much contact with her."
"How much contact do you have with the Xue family?" Ji Xuan continued to ask.
"Not much." The old man from the Zhang family interrupted, causing the grandma of the Zhang family to swallow her words again.
At this time, several people present had other opinions in their minds. Fang Wu didn't care what the Zhang family said for a while. She just didn't quite understand why the Zhang family did this.
It's really strange to use these kinds of rhetoric to the government and passers-by.
Zhang Xuan asked: "I remember. There are many people named Xue in this village. How do you know that we are talking about the family you are talking about?"
His words were a bit redundant, but he seemed to have to ask.
"Didn't this lord talk about our marriage with the Xue family before? Naturally, I thought it was about the Xue family." The grandmother of the Zhang family said coldly.
Zhang Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense. He was quite clear about the events of more than ten years in this village: "But I remember that your girl and the boy from the Xue family were very close. She must have grown up naked, right?"
"
The grandmother of the Zhang family smiled and said somewhat uncomfortably: "That was when she was three or five years old. We are a girl. Once she started to become sensible, she stopped playing together."
Several people nodded, as if they agreed with her words, and then stopped talking. The courtyard suddenly became quiet.
The sound of breathing makes people's hair stand on end.
"But Matchmaker Wang said that their childhood sweethearts grew up together, and then your girl suddenly died of illness, so the marriage was terminated. We also found out from Shili Coffin Shop that you purchased Baiyao in recent days."
After a long time, Ji Xuan finally spoke.
This time he spoke clearly and clearly, obviously wanting to see the reaction of the Zhang family and whether they cared about the life of their girl.
Although they are still not sure what the relationship between this matter and Ma Shi's case is, they must find out if they meet him. He has always been such a person who wants to see the truth at every step.
What's more, human lives are on the line,
He never felt that such things should be messed up.
When both the old man and the grandmother heard these words, their first reaction was dullness, and they bowed their heads almost at the same time.
No one in the yard rushed them, they just waited quietly for them to talk. Even Zhang Xuan, who was always impatient, watched the two's reactions and did not rush them.
"This..." It took a long time for the old man from the Zhang family to utter a single word, but there was nothing more to say after he said this one word.
"Don't worry, no matter what the reason is, the government will not take action. Except for exceptions, the government will investigate the matter clearly."
Ji Xuan coughed, looked at the old man's forehead and said. At this time, he also noticed that no matter what he said after coming in, he never saw the old man's eyes seriously meeting any of them.
"Actually, he didn't die, and he didn't go to his sister's house." The old man sighed and finally said.
"Yes, once I went to the city to deliver food to someone, but she didn't come back at night. We asked along the way. Only then did we find out that the girl was missing at County Magistrate Xu's house. We were really afraid that if we went out publicly, the girl would be missing for nothing.
Innocence will make life difficult for the girl in the future. These are just a few different opinions. I thought, if there are too many explanations, people will just treat it as a joke." The grandmother of the Zhang family sighed and took over the old man's words.
Disappearance, at this time, what kind of ending will be for a girl? Although Daman is open, it is not open to the point where everyone thinks it is normal for a girl to stay up all night.
Therefore, it is inevitable to say something, what this girl said, whether she is dead or gone to her sister, is she not staying out all night?
Sometimes, a girl's chastity and cleanliness are more important than human life.
What's more, can they go out on the street and say that their girl disappeared around Magistrate Xu's house?
Isn't this a stretch? Let's not talk about whether the disappearance of their girl has anything to do with the county magistrate. Is it possible that such a matter is being discussed in different opinions because of a few words about a county magistrate?
This is definitely impossible. The people speak of the officials, which is not a good thing in the first place.
Several people were shocked when they heard this. They didn't know whether it was true or not, but they obviously didn't expect such a situation.
