A piece of crystal snowflakes fell on the vast land, fell on the face of people, as if to cover all the plot and dirty. It's just that the night is deep and the people who are worried about it can't feel anything except the cold wind.
Looking at the smoke rising in the distance, song Xijiao wanted to plug her wings and fly to the door of the paper mill.
"It looks like the fire has been put out. Don't worry. Your brother will be OK." Zhong Chun put his arm around Song Xijiao's shoulder, as if he wanted to give her strength, and shook her arm.
Song Xijiao nodded, but how to put the heart? Such a big fire She didn't dare to think about going down. She could only quicken her own pace.
Every household in the city lights up, because tonight is the new year's Eve, they were supposed to keep up with the new year. Now that there is such a big fire in the city, they can't sleep any more. They want to go out and have a look.
Usually at night, only the watchman's street, at this time there are people walking around. Some of them climbed up to the roof to look around, others walked through the streets, delivering the latest news on the grapevine.
When song Xijiao appeared in their sight, these people immediately pointed to her.
"Oh, it's good to come. Her father and mother don't recognize her, and her sister ignores her. Now even her brother comes to burn her paper mill. What kind of person should she be? "
"It goes without saying that she was sold to a hunter by his brother at the beginning."
"Retribution, it must be retribution! God, open your eyes, burn these unfilial sons and daughters! "
Song Xijiao didn't pay attention to the insults and curses. But Zhongchun, who had been holding her, was tightening her fingers. Finally, when she heard someone say she was going to burn her, he released his hand, turned around and walked towards the man.
Song Xijiao grabbed him: "no, Zhongchun! Don't blame them. They just don't know. "
"They don't know the truth. They don't want to know. This kind of person always bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard. They won't shut up without a lesson."
He shook off song Xijiao's hand and strode forward.
Song Xijiao couldn't stop him. In a hurry, she suddenly rushed to him and hugged him from behind: "Zhongchun, don't pay attention to them. I'm worried about my brother now. Can you accompany me to have a look?"
Feeling his shaking hands, Zhong Chun was stunned and frowned. What's wrong with me? As soon as I heard those people swearing at Xijiao, I lost my sense and even couldn't distinguish the primary and secondary things.
He gently patted the ring's hand around his waist to signal her to let go: "let's go."
The closer you get to the paper mill, the more people you squeeze.
Fortunately, song Xijiao was very familiar with the streets and alleys here. She took Zhong Chun seven turns and eight times around. She quickly avoided the crowd and arrived at the door of the paper mill.
The fire in the paper mill has been put out, but it is still smoking heavily. The constable stopped at the door and drove away the crowd. It was just the 30th day of the lunar new year, and the paper mill was a place where there was a lot of trouble. Despite their most dignified expression, the crowd was always crowded in front of them and refused to disperse.
Song Xijiao pushed herself to the front of the crowd. When she looked up, she saw that the governor of Hu was very angry. She strode across the threshold and walked towards the sedan chair at the gate of the paper mill.
Then, several captains came out with the prisoner in custody.
The prisoner was unkempt and ragged, and could hardly see what he was. But song Xijiao recognized it at one glance and called out: "brother!"
"Ah Sister... "
The man with a chain around his neck and his arm held by the captor raised his head when he heard the cry. Who is that face?
"Brother, what's going on?" Song Xijiao ran forward in a hurry and tried to hold back tears and said, "gentlemen, this is my brother. How did you catch him?"
The constable said coldly, "this man deliberately set fire to the house. According to the law, after curfew, he burned the government's private houses, whipped a hundred, and exiled for two thousand li or three years."
"He's my brother. How could he deliberately set fire? There must be a mistake!"
"Miss Song, it's you again." Hearing the noise here, Sheriff Hu got down from the sedan chair and went to song Xijiao, staring at her discontentedly, "I only finished the case of your second sister framing you last time. It's only a few months later, your brother set fire to your paper mill again. You, you, what can I say
"No! Xijiao, I don't! I didn't set the fire, it wasn't me Song Yuanhan shakes his head in a hurry, and looks at Song Xijiao with almost praying. Once upon a time, he did a lot of stupid things. I'm sorry for my sister, but he has already changed his mind! When he saw that his lazy sister had become industrious and intelligent, he reflected and wanted to live a good life.
"It's not me! It's not me... "
"Not who are you!? We have already searched. You are the only one in the paper mill. The kindling was found in your room. You didn't bring the dried firewood, did it come from the strong wind? " The two captains who escorted him glared at him with disdain. There were too many murderers who were caught by them and called for injustice. They were more similar than he pretended to be innocent.
Song Xijiao suddenly came forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust on Song Yuan's cold face. She looked at him firmly: "brother, don't say it. I know it's not you. I believe you.""Xijiao..." Two lines of tears slowly fell from the corner of his eyes, and song Yuanhan shook his head regretfully. His sister is so good, why didn't he repent early, take care of her, treat her well, let her suffer so much these years, in the end, he would take care of him as a brother.
Hu Jun Shou shakes his head, the little girl is the little girl, two lines of tears deceive her. He stroked his beard and said slowly, "Miss Song, this case is full of human evidence and material evidence, so he can't deny it."
"Mr. Hu." Song Xijiao turned to look at Hu Jun Shou, slowly stepped down the steps, lifted her dress, bent her knee, knelt gently on the ground and knocked her head. When she raised her head again, her eyes were clear and resolute, as if no one could shake her in this world.
"There is no evidence to prove my brother guilty, because he is innocent. Someone else must have set fire to it. I beg Mr. Hu to give me three days. I will find out the real culprit and give Mr. Hu an account, which will prove my brother's innocence. "
The snow fell more and more, between the sky and the earth, white, diffuse the bone chilling.
The girl in the beautiful marten cloak kneels on the ground, slowly crouches, kowtows, gets up, and then bows down and kowtows. White forehead knock in the ice and snow on the bluestone floor, quickly dyed a group of dazzling red.
Zhongchun stood not far away, looking at her sincere, weak and firm, brave figure, throat rolling, fist clenching creak.
Finally, he couldn't look down any more and took a step forward.
