Chapter 268: Lynching
Guo Xiuli didn't talk to Lin Chu that day, and she didn't think about tea and food since she came back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Even a few places where she usually likes to listen to other people's gossip, she doesn't have the heart to go.
She wanted to find Lin Chu again and brush up on her sense of existence, but she couldn't find an excuse to go to town because of all the busyness in the spring. When she was finally free, and then Lin Chu went out again, there were all kinds of resentments in her heart.
"Xiuli, is your mother at home?" A familiar voice sounded outside the house, it was her eldest uncle, she hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out, "Mother is washing clothes by the river." ”
"Oh, you said that you were really raised by your mother as a daughter, you don't even have to wash your clothes, no wonder you are so smart. Bai said flattering words in his mouth, but his eyes were full of contempt.
Guo Xiuli smiled, and just as she was about to speak, her mother came back with a wooden basin, and she hurriedly greeted her to help dry her clothes.
Yan glanced at Bai, "What are you doing here?"
It is said that peers are enemies, but in fact, it is even more indescribable between concubines.
Bai squeezed over with a smile, "There is something good to find you, a great thing." ”
Yan didn't raise his eyelids, "What good can you do?"
The Bai clan didn't mind Yan's indifferent attitude, and still said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you some time ago that I have an uncle who came back from the county, he used to do business in the county and earned a lot of silver. ”
"What does this have to do with us?" Yan still dried his clothes unhurriedly, and didn't give her a look.
"My uncle has a son, who is good-looking and smart, and now he has taken over my uncle's business, and he is the master of the money, and I look at the beauty, so I want to draw a line, you see, this is a good thing. ”
When Guo Xiuli heard this, she was anxious, and hurriedly said: "You said that it was your uncle's son, then his son must be not young." ”
Bai Shi smiled, "My uncle is an old man, and his son is also an old man, and he is only in his early twenties, and he is in his prime." ”
Yan's eyes flashed, fleeting, she turned around, "How did you think of such a good thing, our family is beautiful?"
"If our family Xiurong is a few years older, then I definitely won't think of you. Bai said.
"It's just your thoughts, your uncle he..."
"Just because of your beautiful appearance, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take my little cousin? As long as you want, I'll arrange it, and don't forget my aunt after the matter is done. ”
Yan was a little moved when she heard this, she knew that her daughter fell in love with Dr. Kobayashi, if it weren't for the person her aunt said, she wouldn't mind letting her daughter try to contact Dr. Kobayashi, but now there is such a good candidate...
Guo Xiuli saw her mother's move, her heart sank, and she hurriedly shouted: "Mother..."
Yan ignored her, looked directly at Bai and said, "I have to meet people first, our beauty is not something that can be matched by crooked melons and bad dates." ”
A hint of ridicule flashed in Bai's eyes, and he immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, if you want to see it, I will definitely arrange it for you, but they are in the county seat..."
"The county seat is not far away..."Yan Shi hurriedly said.
Bai slapped his thigh, "Okay, I'll go and spread the news now." With that, he strode away.
"Mother, how can you do this?" Guo Xiuli said angrily.
"After such a long time, you are useless, you still want me to give you as much time, and you don't look at how old you are. Yan shook the basin and walked inside.
Guo Xiuli stomped her feet a few times, she couldn't refute it, and hid back in the room depressed.
………
Lin Chu learned from the Yang family that Xiao Jing had gone to the county, and chased after her early the next morning, and he forgot all the words he had said about hanging her.
When passing through the county seat, he went to see Wen Yuebin, and the main purpose was to ask him if he had any relatives surnamed Lu.
Wen Yuebin's answer was very subtle, he said, "There may be, I'm not sure." ”
For this reason, Lin Chu directly gave him a white eye, which made Wen Yuebin almost jump up, "This bear child, even Lao Tzu dares to give a white eye." ”
He didn't have a chance to say this in front of Lin Chu, because Lin Chu was listening to him, and left after giving him a blank look.
Grandma He looked at Wen Yuebin, whose chest was constantly rising and falling, and sighed, I didn't see my son, I thought about it every day, I saw it, and I was angry every day for a little thing.
………
The county guard, after Lan Jing read the news from various counties, he looked at the door with a headache.
"Young Master Lin, why are you here?" Outside the door, Wang Qiang's voice sounded.
Lan Jing blinked, and Lin Chu walked in from outside the door, "Why didn't you come to the county without telling me." ”
Lin Chu's tone was full of complaints, Lan Jing smiled wryly, I really wanted to go back to him, why should I tell you, after thinking about it, forget it.
"Isn't the medical hall busy, why are you here?" Lan Jing looked at Lin Chu and asked.
She really didn't know why Lin Chu appeared here, she went to the capital together to send scriptures before, but now that the scriptures have been sent, her father has also recognized it, he is not at home to accompany the freshly baked father, what are you doing?
The last time I came out to look for her, it could be said that I brought her news, saying that the family had arranged it, so let her not worry, but what about this time?
Lin Chu's eyes flashed, "Uncle Fifteen asked me to protect you every step of the way." ”
Lan Jing remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and hurriedly said: "My father doesn't understand that, I am protected by many people now, you go back to accompany Uncle Wen." ”
Lin Chu shook his head, "When you're done, we'll go back to accompany him together." ”
The corners of Lan Jing's mouth twitched, what he said felt weird, but she couldn't say what was weird.
"What are you busy with?" Lin Chu asked.
Lan Jing sighed and leaned on the table, "I have no clue, there are dozens of people missing, I thought there would be a place, not one, I asked if there was a big caravan to leave Lingshan County, but it didn't turn out, you say, how could this person disappear out of thin air, and it's not a bubble." ”
"Maybe it's not a group of people who go together, they go separately one by one, so that no one notices. Lin Chu said.
Lan Jing raised his head, "That's a waste of time and energy, escorting a woman, at least two people." With the current foot strength, it takes half a year to go back and forth to the chosen place, and the food and accommodation along the way are almost worth catching ten girls to sell. ”
"Then, is it possible to be locked up somewhere, and then wait for the opportunity to take it away together?" Lin Chu seemed to think.
"This is very likely, it's just that this Lingshan County is so big, where should I find it?" Lan Jing held his chin depressedly.
"I think it's more likely to be in Myeongyang-gun. Lin Chu said.
Lan Jing turned his head to look at him suddenly, "This is a man's sixth sense?"
"No, I don't know what your sixth sense is, that is, didn't you say that Ma Jin had something to do with the mountain bandits?" Lin Chu explained in a hurry.
Lan Jing lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "Wang Qiang, come in." ”
Wang Qiang responded and entered, "What does the prince have to say?" ”
"There are a few pills here, you take them down and give Jing Yongmeng a few names to eat, and that woman, what is her name, take her to a private room, I will interrogate her." After Lan Jing finished his series of words, he looked at the sluggish Wang Qiang, "Go down and do it." ”
"Yes," Wang Qiang hurriedly responded, looked at the pill and didn't dare to reach out to take it.
Lin Chu took the pill in his hand, "I'll go with you." ”
Out of the door, Wang Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Lin, what kind of poison is this?"
Lin Chu smiled, "Don't want human life, don't worry." ”
"I'm not afraid of killing people, but is it really good for the son of the world to be like this? Wang Qiang said a little timid.
"Xiao Jing does things for her reason. Lin Chu responded.
…………
Ma Fengniang looked at Lan Jing who walked in, and couldn't help but admire, what a heroic little brother, if it was a new young man from the cottage, she would definitely hook up.
"Give you a chance to live, and tell you what you know. Lan Jing said lightly.
Ma Fengniang's big eyes blinked a few times, and they were instantly stained with mist, "My lord, the slave family really doesn't know anything, the slave family was lifted up the mountain at the age of sixteen and imprisoned for ten years, and the slave family wanted to die several times, but their group of beasts didn't even let people die, and tied me up every day to torture." ”
What she said in this paragraph was so pitiful that the officials who were holding her couldn't help but relax a little.
Lan Jing hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Do you think that everyone who knows you in this world is dead?"
Ma Fengniang was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?
Lan Jing clasped his hands to his chest, "Your father and mother, including Zhu Yuan, who you once hooked up, we have found out." Is it necessary to lie?"
Ma Fengniang was stunned for a moment, "It's also the person surnamed Zhu who is playing with me, I'm just..."
"I'm not interested in your past, I just want to know where they hid those girls. Lan Jing interrupted her directly.
Ma Fengniang's eyes flashed, this matter, the dead ghost Meng Da did say, "If I say it, what's the benefit?"
"What benefits do you want?" Lan Jing smiled slightly.
"Let me go, and give me one, ten thousand taels of silver. Aunt Ma weighed it and felt that it was not a lion's mouth to ask for 10,000 taels.
"Surely you haven't seen other people torture, some punishments that make life worse than death, do you want to try it?" Lan Jing asked with a smile looking at her.
Ma Fengniang shuddered, "I, you, you can't use lynching." ”
"Why can't I? I just want your life, and no one dares to say anything. A cold light flashed in Lan Jing's eyes.
Ma Fengniang couldn't help but tremble, she wasn't sure if what Lan Jing said scared her, she didn't want to believe it, and subconsciously felt that she would regret it if she didn't believe it.
Lan Jing turned, "Pull out all her nails." ”
Her voice was neither high nor low, and it smashed into Ma Fengniang's heart, but it seemed to have a hole, she panicked, looked at the yacha who came up with the tools and hurriedly said: "I recruit, I recruit, I recruit anything." ”
Lan Jing waved his hand, and the yacha hurriedly stepped aside, "Say it quickly, don't waste time." ”
"In prison, Monta was drunk and said that they put people in prison and they couldn't find anyone, and no one would think about it. Ma Fengniang's voice trembled, but her words were clear.
Lan Jing glanced at her, "Reflect on it in prison, your fate has been saved." ”
………
Lan Jing returned to Mingyang County and directly took her people into the prison.
When Qian Shouhan heard the news, he hurriedly put down his official duties and rushed over, and when he saw Lan Jing with a gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat, and he saluted: "The lower officials have seen Lord Tang." ”
"Get up," Lan Jing said lightly.
"Yes" Qian Shouhan stood up straight, secretly looked at Lan Jing's face, and saw that it was still ugly, and his heart sank.
"Lead the way, this official will inspect all the cells in your Mingyang County. Lan Jing said as he walked in with a light footstep.
Qian Shouhan hurriedly followed, although he felt that Lan Jing's behavior was very inexplicable, but he was smart and didn't ask much, just quietly led the way.
Along the way, there were not many prisoners in custody, and many of the cells were empty.
After a round turn, Lan Jing asked, "Is this the only place, are there any other cells?"
Qian Shouhan was stunned for a moment, "There is also a death row, and I haven't detained prisoners for a long time." ”
Lan Jing glanced at all the accompanying officials, "Go and have a look,"
Qian Shouhan opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was dirty and messy underneath, but seeing Lan Jing's serious expression, he quickly closed his mouth.
Death row isn't far away, but it's just a cup of tea.
Qian Shouhan waved his hand, and the yacha guarding the door of death row obediently opened the door.
Lan Jing took the lead in stepping in, it was very empty inside, as far as the eye could see, there was only an empty big iron frame, there was no one, she frowned, that Ma Fengniang would definitely not dare to lie to her, then the person was transferred.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Ma Jin, only to see him calmly whispering to his subordinates, Lan Jing clenched his fist, sooner or later he would die.
"Shizi," Wang Qiang came in from outside and whispered a few words in Lan Jing's ear.
Not long after, Zhang Biao also walked in, and he also whispered in Lan Jing's ear.
Qian Shouhan moved his steps lightly and leaned towards Lan Jing's side.
Lan Jing glanced at him, "Don't worry now, you'll know what they said sooner or later." ”
Qian Shouhan smiled awkwardly, "The adults misunderstood..."
Lan Jing leaned at him, "I really don't want to know?" I still thought I wanted to tell you, since I didn't want to know, I wouldn't say it." ”
Out of death row, Lan Jing strode forward, Ma Jin fell behind, and looked at Lan Jing's back viciously.
A man dressed as a yacha ran quickly towards him, and after whispering a few words in his ear, his face changed, and he hurriedly left.
Lan Jing returned to Cuizhu Courtyard, Qin Tongxi and Yang Jiarong were already waiting at the door, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Qin Tongxin said and dodged away to let Lan Jing in, Lan Jing glanced at him, "You think I have nothing to do like you?"
"Don't say that, I'm also going to be an official. Qin Tongxin smiled.
Lan Jing sat down on the chair, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and said lightly: "I'm waiting to see you cry and call your mother." ”
Qin Tongxin also sat down on the chair, "My family has been an official for generations, and I have enough experience, and it should be Jiarong who cries for my father and mother." ”
Yang Jiarong spread his hands, "I am average in everything, but I have strong learning ability, maybe I am promoted, you are still a small county commander." ”
Hearing this, Lan Jing gave him a thumbs up, "Have ambition, come on, I'll wait for you to be promoted." ”
