"It's okay, I'm just coming to see you. Wang Ziqing smiled, "By the way, if you find someone from our Yanshang clan, you must protect it, I have no reason to be a little worried." ”

"Well, don't worry. Wu Ma said seriously, "I did meet a few people from the Yanshang Clan and the Congge Clan, but they are all very well protected, so don't worry. ”

"Haha, then I'm relieved. ”

"Little Five. Ma Weiliang asked excitedly, "You mean that there are still Congge people in Shenzhou?"

"yes, a lot. ”

"Where they are, take me to them. ”

"It's all in the cellar in the backyard of the horse scissors. "Tomorrow I will take you and let them meet the new patriarch." After that, he glanced at Long Yiyi again, and saw Long Yiyi laughing.

"Little Five, this is for you. Lou Yiming said, reaching out and handing over a round and bright saffron-colored bead, covered with transparent scales.

Wu Ma was stunned: "What is this?"

"This is the eyeball of the giant serpent just now, which was picked out by your silver needle. Lou Yiming said, deliberately putting on a complaining expression, "This thing collides with the dirt, and when it falls to the ground, it is desperate to fly into the sky, and I almost can't catch it." ”

"Your light skills are unparalleled in the world, how can this ball be difficult to stop you. Wu Ma Xin said, "No wonder I saw the figure flashing, but the fallen leaves were not affected at all, and the ability of this leaf not to stick to the body was really amazing." ”

A proud look immediately appeared on Lou Yiming's face: "That's it, who am I?" ”

"Little Wu, is there any news of the Runxia clan?" Cheng Jing's heart was also excited, but his face was still unshocked.

"Yes," Wu Ma Xin said, unconsciously becoming serious, "After Shenzhou expelled the Runxia tribe, no one made salt, so some gangsters imprisoned some Runxia people and forced them to make salt. ”

Sure enough, Cheng Jingzhi's fists were clenched, his muscles were bruised, and he said in a low voice: "Presumably, those people will use inhuman means to prevent them from being lazy and running away." ”

"Well, that's true. Wu Ma Xin said, "But don't worry, I have already inquired about the place of detention, and as long as I have a breath of air, I will definitely rescue them!"

"Ah!" Cheng Jingzhi roared, slammed the spear into the ground, and suddenly the sky was dark, the air was instantly frozen, and the wind was cold, like a sharp blade flattening everything on the ground, and the snow poured down from the sky, and the whole world was covered with snow, as if covered with white cloth. Immediately after, a deafening "bell" sounded, and the whole world trembled, as if it was a mourning sound before destruction.

"Fourth, don't!" Wu Ma screamed and suddenly got up, everything was gone, and he was still lying in the nest of the branches, sweating profusely. It's just a dream, and it seems that I miss them too much. Alas, that's right, Chixian Shenzhou didn't come just as he said. The sound of the bell should be the morning bell, it seems that it is the hour, and I have slept for so long.

Wu Ma Xin jumped down from the tree and continued to walk towards Jizhou, his first task was to rescue the Runxia people, although Cheng Jingzhi did not come, but he felt the same way, no one could tolerate this kind of thing.

The sky was bright and sprinkled into specks of light, as if it were mysterious ancient writing. A thin mist passed through the gaps in the trees, dew slid down the leaves and into the dust, and the earth was white and reflected a silvery light. Soon the wind and fog dissipated, the golden light became blinding, the words on the ground became more solemn, and the sun became greater and as red as blood.

Wu Ma was hungry, so he jumped on a peach tree and picked a few peaches to satisfy his hunger. At this moment, a pig staggered over, and with a flick of his fingers, a branch flew out, and the pig fell to the ground with a "snort". Sure enough, it's a fat pig, and you can have a full meal.

Wu Ma Xin jumped down from the tree, and was about to light a fire to roast and eat, when a few people in coarse linen clothes ran in the distance, grabbed him, and shouted: "Come on, this guy killed our pig, go and arrest him to see the official." In the distance, a few more men with shovels and hoes came running, and together they helped to catch the witch horse's heart.

Strange to your pigs, pigs are not all wild beasts, where did they come from?

Wu Ma Xin sensed it with internal force and found that they didn't know martial arts, so he didn't resist and let them drag him to the court.

Shenzhou is the most noble in due north, and only the mansion of the prince and general can be used, so the public hall is generally located in the northeast. Facing the main door of the public hall is a wall, made of finely ground bricks and covered with roof tiles. In the center of the wall is a brick sculpture of an ancient beast, surrounded by gold and silver treasures. The beast has a dragon head, a lion's tail, a cow's hooves, and a unicorn body, and is greedy by nature, eating all the birds and beasts in the mountains, and occupying all the gold and silver pearls and treasures in the world, but it is still insufficient, and wants to devour the sun in the sky, and is burned alive by the sun. The beast stood on the opposite side of the court, a warning to the officials in charge. The south-facing walls of the Zhaobi are plastered with government notices, on which the announcement of wanted notices, executions of criminals, and court judgments are to be posted.

There are about three main rooms in the public hall, but they have fallen into disrepair and have long been dilapidated, and only two vermilion doors are shiny and shiny, and they have to be repainted once a year. There is a couplet pasted on both sides of the door: Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people, and the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. There was a plaque hanging in the public hall with four big characters written on it, but Wu Ma Xin didn't recognize it. Below the plaque is a long public case, on which in addition to the four treasures of the study, there is also a wooden statue of Nuwa Niangniang, and in front of it is a large pedestal, called "platform". There are two stone slabs on the platform, the east one is the plaintiff's kneeling seat and the west one is the defendant's kneeling seat.

Wu Ma Xin was pushed to the stone slab to the west, and the stone slab to the east was kneeling with a group of villagers and a dead pig.

Shenzhou is different from Duanguo, and most of the people in charge of the public court are literate people, and they are very kind, which makes the people have a lot more courage to complain. Behind the public case, there was a man in an ink robe, with neat hair in a bun, a straight crown, and a scholarly atmosphere, who was Lu Zhiyu, the head of the public court. On the right sits a master named Wu Xiang, who is responsible for writing records. On each side of the public hall, four officers and soldiers stood against the wall, carrying knives and sticks, and their voices were fierce.

The villagers pointed at Wu Ma Xin and shouted: "Lord Lu, the villain's name is Liu Jimin, he is a farmer in Liangshui Village, he just came back from planting, and he found that this person killed my pig, and begged the adult to make the decision for Xiaomin." ”

Lu Zhiyu slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Boldly Diao Min, are you guilty?"

Wu Ma clenched his fists and said: "I am hungry in my belly, what is the crime of killing a wild boar to satisfy my stomach?"

"Ridiculous, where is this wild boar, it is clearly someone's domestic pig, you kill someone's pig, it is a robber's act. The code has clouds, this ...... This ......" Lu Zhiyu was a little speechless, and then ordered, "Come on, bring the codex." ”

Several officers and soldiers agreed, and "hum, hum, hum" brought up dozens of stone tablets, each of which was more than two zhang long, so thick that it was loud, and it was densely engraved with strange words. Lu Zhiyu left his seat, squatted on the stone tablet to find it, and when he saw the eleventh piece, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he returned to the public desk to sit down, and he was shocked to take it again: "It is clearly recorded in the legal code: Although wild boars are wild beasts, if they are domesticated in captivity, they will become domestic animals." Anyone who injures a human or livestock shall be fined the value of the livestock, and a person who kills a domestic animal shall be fined three times the value of the livestock; and those who cannot make compensation shall be imprisoned for one year. ”

"Your Excellency. Wu Ma hugged his fists and said, "There is something unknown below, if this pig is not dead or injured, but just fainted, then is it considered my guilt?"

"Not dead?" Lu Zhiyu and the other farmers were stunned, the pig couldn't feel breathing when it was lifted, how could it be that he wasn't dead?

Wu Ma Xin reached out and clicked on the pig a few times, only to see the pig "snort" and get up from the ground, shake his head and look left and right, kick his limbs and run a few laps, and then honestly lay beside his master, with a fat belly spread into a pile.

"My lord, then he is also guilty. The man refused to forgive, "I beg the adults to be the masters of the small people." ”

"Wait for this official to check the code!" Lu Zhiyu jumped up from the chair, lay on the stone slab again and looked for it, until the twenty-first stone slab was finally found, he hammered his sore waist, bundled his clothes, sat back on the chair, held the public case with both hands and said, "The code clearly records: If you deliberately murder other people's domestic animals, but do not hurt the domestic animals, you should be fined one tael of silver." and if he is unable to make amends, he shall be punished with twenty rods. ”

"Hey, hey. Lu Zhiyu finally sat up straight relaxed, and pointed with his hand, "What else do you have to say?" All the farmers also stared at Wu Ma Xin without smiling.

"My lord, I confess my sins. Wu Ma Xin didn't feel a trace of kindness from the faces of these farmers, but had the idea of having fun with this pedantic adult, so he hugged his fists and said, "But I don't know what domestication and captivity are, they have to prove that this pig is theirs." ”

"Hiss......" Lu Zhiyu looked embarrassed, this guy is really sharp-toothed, and the teacher has not taught how to prove the problem of pigs.

Liu Farmer looked up and down at Wu Ma Xin, this person looked like a rich son, there should be a herd of mules and horses at home, how could he seem to not even understand what a domestic animal was, and his words couldn't help but be a little disdainful: "This benevolent brother doesn't know how to domesticate captivity? Then I'll tell you about it." We caught the wild boars and put them in a cage to feed them, and they didn't have to work, and after a long time, they naturally stopped running away, and could only wait to be killed and eaten. ”

Wu Ma's heart was shocked, in the eyes of Chixian Shenzhou, aren't the people of Duanguo just beasts that have been domesticated in captivity?

Lu Zhiyu coughed and asked, "So, this bitter master, can you prove that this pig is yours?"

"What's so difficult about this!" Liu Farmer said disapprerovingly, "I'll prove it." ”
