The weather was a little cold, and the weather in autumn was not good.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but all the houses in the yamen seem to be much cooler than the outside.

Cao Pozi shivered, and was pressed to sit on a cold bench, and through the window, she saw a group of servants waiting for a young woman with special courtesy.

The woman was the one who had caught herself.

looks so good, she gritted her teeth, and sneered in her heart - when she was young, she had never met such a good woman in her hands, no matter how delicate she was, she would be sold in the building for ten days and a half months, and she would no longer be arrogant.

She lowered her head, put on a pitiful, old-eyed and dizzy appearance, although she was a little frightened in her heart, she still felt that she would not have too much trouble to deal with such a chick.

Young female dolls are very soft-hearted.

Faintly heard the sound of talking outside, Cao Pozi looked demented, but she pricked up her ears to listen, and she could know in advance what kind of character this person was, even if she only knew a little.

Hongchen looked around and shook his head: "The feng shui here is too bad, and the orientation of the house is not good, so these decorations should be replaced." ”

The officials replied respectfully: "The words of the county lord's mother will not be wrong, and we will clean it up again when we go back." ”

"I'm afraid this uncle's right leg won't be able to move in winter, right?"

Hongchen nodded and pointed to an old man standing at the back.

The old man was startled when he heard this, his face changed greatly, and his whole person softened: "Oh, the county lord's mother is gracious......

Hongchen smiled: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal." You've been in a place where yin qi is heavy for too long, so something went wrong, and when I go back and wear a talisman paper for you, it will be fine this winter. ”

She looked at it and frowned, "I don't know if there are many dead people in the yamen, and the entire space is shrouded in yin qi, and then look at your prison." ”

Glancing in the direction of the cell, "The prisoners in the east must be irritable and irritable, and the west side is full of injuries and diseases." and it will also affect you servants. ”

The crowd was amazed.

Especially the old man. Thanksgiving: "Hey, the county lord doesn't know, I have a little grandchild at home, who is young." Both sons and daughters-in-law contracted epidemics in their early years. It's gone. I only live on this errand, and if I let the above know that my leg is useless, I am afraid that my current errand will be lost! ”

This is clearly to say that Hongchen's words are not bad.

Those officials also admired: "It's not as the county lord said." Those prisoners in the yamen, who have been punished, even if they invite a doctor to come and see, there are few who can be profitable, and the brothers actually have accurate heads in their hands, and some of them should not die. ”

Hongchen didn't think that this topic was undignified, so he simply pointed at it, and everything was said very accurately.

After taking people around, she stopped all of a sudden and beckoned a few officials to step back: "Stop, stop." ”

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other, at a loss, and wanted to ask a few questions, but the roof in front of them was full of bones, and suddenly a large pile of tiles rolled down, and there was a jar.

Plop and slam on the ground.

The group was stunned.

"What's going on? What's wrong with this? ”

There was a skinny young man on the top of the house, with a look of horror: "Yes, I'm sorry. ”

He was still holding some messy things in his hand, and he didn't know what he was doing, "This house was a little leaky a few days ago, I, I want to fix it." ”

was so angry that everyone below jumped to their feet.

"Be careful, it's just that you fall to death, which boss you hit, can you afford it?"

This is the yamen!

The so-called officials do not repair the yamen, and the yamen in the capital is also in tatters, so it is impossible to live, so it is impossible to repair it slightly, and it is impossible to renovate it.

Hongchen said it again and again, it was amazing, and everyone was going to treat Hongchen's words as a golden rule after a while.

"No wonder we couldn't find those kidnappers, the county lord didn't even ask, and dug up their dens directly, which is really amazing!"

"It's not difficult, let's go, I'll go and see that Cao Pozi, as long as she knows, I will definitely be able to see their serious den, this kind of tumor, should have been dug up a long time ago, no matter which beast it is, it won't be a thousand knives to catch it, and it can't be angry."

"That's what the mother said."

"Our county lord has a word, don't say a thousand cuts, it is a matter of course to punish the nine clans."

Cao Pozi shuddered, her heart twitched, she barely took a breath, calmed herself, and when she saw that they were about to come in, she hurriedly made a look like she was about to die.

"Oops, oops, it hurts!"

She clutched her chest and sighed. The voice is bleak, and anyone who hears it can't help but sympathize.

Hongchen was happy when he entered the door, and he didn't speak, he sat at the table, and let people serve tea and snacks, and while eating, he admired it, and turned his head to laugh with the officials around him: "I'm bored on weekdays, it's really good to watch this good show, well, watch it for a while." ”

Cao Pozi only made a crazy appearance that she didn't understand and didn't know Hongchen, foaming at the mouth, rolling her eyes, shaking her body, and dancing her teeth and claws.

"Ahh

struggled and threw himself at Hongchen, looking very terrifying.

The faces of the officials changed, and when they went up, they slapped her, so that she was planted on the ground and curled up in a ball, and her mouth was still scolding.

Several officials sighed, smiled bitterly and whispered: "This is a hob meat, she is beaten badly, she is like she is really dead, and her body is cold." ”

Hongchen smiled: "What to do with her, it doesn't matter, when it's over, just dig a pit and bury it alive, well, let's take a look at it closer, this Cao Pozi has a son and a daughter, and the daughter sells meat in the East Market, you go and arrest it, the son is a cripple, since he is disabled, then treat it lightly, let his son, this old lady's little grandson suffer for his father, it doesn't hurt to say that it is really a bad bamboo shoot, and the father and grandmother are all so virtuous, the grandson is actually a reader, and he reads well, and now he is a showman, It is not impossible to be re-examined. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

"Don't be a pity, the grandson of an old woman who has done evil like this, I don't know how many sins he has on his back, even if he has some talents, I'm afraid it will be a bad death."

Hongchen's words were fluttering, but as soon as he spit it out, every word was like a steel knife, piercing straight into Cao Pozi's heart.

Her face changed again and again, gray and bloodless. Cracked teeth.

If it weren't for being suppressed. I'm afraid that I have the heart to pounce on the red dust, and I will no longer be able to put on the appearance of hob meat.

Hongchen didn't look at her either, turned his head and said to the officials: "Okay, don't be idle." Get her precious grandson first. Serve the punishment again. Don't keep the handwork, it's rare to have a fine skin and tender meat to practice hands, not for anything else. It's also good to hone your craft. ”

Cao Pozi was so frightened that she trembled, couldn't help crying, and shouted hoarsely: "What is coming at me, coming at me, my grandson is innocent, he is innocent." ”

"Well, he's innocent."

Hongchen smiled, "I can see clearly, your grandson is clean, you are reluctant to do even a little dirty work on weekdays, of course it is clean, but I like to implicate innocents, I can as long as I want, who makes me a high authority, I am the county lord of His Majesty." ”

The official next to him burst into laughter.

"That is, what our county lord wants to do, let's help you do it, no, how can this kind of thing make you dirty, it's all our brother's idea."

A bunch of people giggled and laughed.

There are also a few smiling firewood and oil pots, and some are ready for soldering irons.

"Don't look at it, let's take turns entertaining this set of guys, don't say a showman, it's a big hero and a hero, and there is no good meat on his body after he comes out, but don't worry, you can't die, we have salt water here, of course, blind in one eye, broken arm or something, that's it, no one cares."

Before the frivolous words of the officials fell, Cao Pozi's whole person collapsed, and the whole person was paralyzed, holding her head and crying, her face full of tears: "My sins, they are all my sins, I confess, I will say everything, woo woo woo, devil, you are the devil!" ”

She saw Hongchen's words, and calculated the situation of her deepest secret, and she had a nervous breakdown, and she couldn't help but think, even if she didn't say anything, I am afraid that others could figure it out, but it was a matter of time.

Finally, I couldn't help but feel like crazy, and crackled and said everything I knew.

Don't look at her from her youth to the present, I don't know how many families she has harmed, and how many girls who have been in her prime have been killed, but she values her family very much, especially when she has an outstanding golden grandson.

All her money is going to be used for Jin Sun's schooling, and she is even unwilling to take care of herself at such an age, mostly to make her children live a better life.

“…… There is a batch of female babies who have been transported away, and this batch was supposed to leave a few days ago, but the government has strictly investigated, so it has been delayed. ”

After listening to the old lady's words.

There was silence from top to bottom of the yamen.

After a long time, Luo Niang said softly: "If you die ten thousand times, you can't atone for your sins!" ”

Cao Pozi was frightened into a trance, and shouted vigorously: "...... I know where they went, they must have returned to Shangping Village, you go after them immediately, and you will definitely be able to chase back the people you want. ”

The officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Two of them took Mrs. Cao's confession, changed their tricks to scare, and it didn't take much effort, and the remaining two half-dead ones also collapsed.

The confessions are all similar, and they are still somewhat credible.

Time was pressing, and even those officials were not verbose, so they gathered their manpower, changed into ordinary clothes, and set off with Mrs. Cao.

Hongchen also brought Xiaohe and Tie Niu to follow.

This kind of thing, the local government will help, and there is no need for too many people.

Xiao Yan and Xiu Xiu, who is halfway through his injuries, have to be together.

“…… I thought about it and ended it. ”

She wants to end her nightmare.

Xiao Yan knew very well that if it weren't for herself, Miss Hongchen would not necessarily come forward in person, she was abducted Miss was willing to save her, and she was replaced by other strangers, and she could help pry open Cao Pozi's mouth, which would have helped a lot.

In fact, the government said that they had to be too happy to go with Hongchen, not that Hongchen couldn't help, they could solve this case so quickly, and at least eight or nine points had to be the credit of the county lord's mother.

It is difficult to be embarrassed, that is, to be embarrassed in the word county lord.

This trip is a great achievement. When you turn around, the yamen can be stained up and down, but if a county lord is damaged even a little, the credit will become a disaster.

Hongchen usually doesn't like to cause trouble for others, and this time for the sake of his own Xiao Yan, he had to be a villain.

However, it is not without benefits, with the county lord following, the efficiency of the yamen has improved a lot, and it is like beating chicken blood up and down.

The group went directly out of the capital.

Cao Pozi was nervous along the way, and twice wanted to escape, but directly let Xiaohe break a leg. It saved her the strength to walk. Everywhere there are people carrying it, but I don't know if this old woman likes such leisure.

All the way non-stop, the official post stations in various places are convenient, and they arrived near Shangping Village as Cao Pozi said. It took almost a little over a month.

The weather is getting colder.

Get out of the carriage and the cold wind howls. Blowing made Cao Pozi crumble.

Two women on the side of the road, who were toiling to gather ears of wheat in the field, saw her. He laughed and said, "Why did you come back today?" A while ago, Wang Haozi and Gao Shun brought back three women, saying that you said that this batch is not sold for money. The boys in our village are going to be older, and they will be divided according to their age. ”

Another woman also smiled and said, "These are not ordinary goods, and it is worth it if they come from the capital, even if the risk is greater." ”

Mrs. Cao shuddered, with a smile on her face, and her legs and feet trembled.

Those two only thought she was old.

In a blink of an eye, I saw a group of people behind her, all of them were not surprised at all, especially when they saw Hongchen, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan, they were very happy.

"Yo, that's handsome!"

The two peasant women laughed and laughed, and they didn't say much, but there was a thick malice between the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.

Xiaohe's face tensed, reached out to hold Hongchen's arm, and tightened it.

The officer's face was not very good.

One of them whispered, "Is this a den of thieves?" ”

As soon as they entered the village, they thought that they had come to an ordinary poor mountain village, but Hongchen said something bad and asked everyone to be careful, and everyone unconsciously felt the wind gusting, but at this time, when they heard what Mrs. Cao and the people said, their hearts were furious.

It seems that the whole village knows what this surnamed Cao is doing! Maybe a lot of people got involved, but if it were, it was the negligence of the local magistrates.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not strange, the county order is at most in charge of the county's affairs, like this kind of small village, no matter what happens in the village, the possibility that the government can know is very small, not to mention such remote places, last year in the village near the capital, drowned three daughters-in-law who were said to be ** in one go, and it took a year before the daughter-in-law's family poked out, but the government can't control this matter, and the law does not blame the public.

Right now, in this place, if the people in the village are hiding something, how can outsiders find out?

You can't blame the government for being incompetent.

Everyone's hearts were unconsciously depressed.

Mrs. Cao didn't dare to say a word, and reluctantly led them to her house. The house is now for a gang of crutches.

As he walked, he said carefully: "It's not good in autumn and winter, they should all be in the nest, there are seven or eight, and the abducted women are mostly hidden in the cellar and don't let anyone ...... them."

Soon they arrived at the place, and before they could enter the door, two sentry gates appeared, and the gate opened, and several men came out of the house.

"Aunt Cao is back."

"I said how did I hear the magpie calling in the tree?"

"What's the matter, the eldest lady wants to come back out of the rivers and lakes? That relationship is good, your old man has a good eye, and he is smaller than ours. ”

Mrs. Cao greeted all the way and was welcomed all the way in.

At first glance, there were seven or eight big men living in the house, and two mothers-in-law took care of them.

Xiaohe glanced at it quietly.

Cao Pozi gritted her teeth, and there was an impulse to shout for a moment, but when she thought of her grandson, all thoughts were lost.

She had a grandson that the people in the village didn't even know, let alone her gang of buddies who ran errands.

These people are all ruthless goods, and if they really know, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous than the government knows.

The one-eyed man in the room who was sitting on a chair drinking wine stood up with a wine glass and glanced at them in the red dust.

Cao Pozi hurriedly said: "Ah Long, these are doing big business on the green forest road, passing by the handle, people have a doorway, you are polite." ”

Aronden smiled, his face full of joy, "I look at a few of them as capable." It's not like our petty fight. ”

His eyes slipped around Hongchen and them, revealing a bit of greed, and he exhaled, "This is worth the old nose's money." ”

An old catcher smiled quickly: "Passing by the precious land, borrowing a piece of land to rest and recuperate, the benefits of your brothers are indispensable." ”

Xiao Yan's face turned white in an instant.

All the terrifying memories filled her mind at once, and the whole person trembled.

If she hadn't been scared now, I'm afraid that people would suddenly see the flaws, and she would look like at this time. So that the gang suddenly lost their suspicions.

Originally, Cao Pozi's status was high. This group trusts her very much.

"Ahhh

Suddenly, there was a short exclamation outside.

Hongchen pressed the green blade in his sleeve that was about to move.

These people in the house didn't hear it, and the one-eyed Ah Long smiled: "It's not the movement of the trainer, it's the third girl of Widow Liu's family in the east of the village." Aunt Cao, you're not here. You don't know. Sanya has been evil in the past two days, and she has been yelling all day long, and her voice is hoarse. Widow Liu had no choice but to shut her up in the room and gag her, or not to panic. ”

This man apparently doesn't care who is evil or not.

Mrs. Cao was absent-minded, and she didn't care, at this time, dragging her feet outside, a woman came in, carrying a teapot in her hand, and poured tea for them one by one.

Hongchen looked at it, the woman's hair was unkempt, covering her eyes, her hands were full of green tendons, very rough, one leg was lame, she was staggering, she was very thin, almost skinny.

One-eyed sighed: "This flower is a product returned by someone, it looks like a ghost, it can't be sold, don't care how it is beaten, you can't even speak, you can't do some housework if you are stupid, and you can barely use it." ”

As he spoke, One-Eye grabbed the woman's thigh and bared his teeth, "I'm panicking, but this woman can give birth, last year, she lost six babies, and it doesn't look like she hurt her body, it is estimated that she can still give birth, if anyone wants a baby, spend more than a dozen dollars, and buy her to go." ”

A fire erupted from Hongchen's chest, burning her whole body to explode.

My throat and eyes itched, and I couldn't help retching twice.

It's not that she hasn't seen wicked people, it's not that she hasn't seen dead people, and when she was in the Wang family, she didn't buy maids and sell people, but today, for the first time, she had an urge to break these bastards' legs and feet, and sell them to the most bitter, tiring, and dirty places, so that they could also enjoy the sins suffered by those women.

Xiao Yan relied on Luo Niang, and the whole person was about to collapse.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Cao slowly led them into the inner room, which was open to two houses and was very large.

There are a mess of teacups and bowls on the table, as well as fruits and snacks from the mountains, and many people must have stayed here to talk in the past.

There should have been a lot to say, but for a while, everyone was silent.

"I didn't expect it to be a big fish this time!"

After a long time, Hongchen sighed.

At first, she thought that this Cao Pozi was a small character.

I didn't expect ...... There is such a big stall.

"Tell me, what's going on in this village, and what's going on with you? I don't think you're an ordinary crutch. ”

Hongchen said softly, looked around in a blink of an eye, and made sure that the house was safe enough, in fact, this house was originally used by the abductors to discuss things, and I don't know how to get it when it was built, it is easy to hear the movement outside the house, but there is no need to worry about someone from outside to eavesdrop, which is very amazing.

As she spoke, a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Hongchen's smile, even the well-informed officials couldn't help but lower their heads, and their hearts were cold.

"No, no, the villagers of Shangping Village just know, they are all stupid, their brains are not good, and they are weak, so they can't do big things at all......"

Cao Pozi trembled even more, trembling non-stop, whispered her origin, and didn't dare to hide half a word.

She said it in such detail that she almost leaked the roots.

After everyone listened, they looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

All of this cannot be said to be wrong...... However, the full story is very uncomfortable to listen to.

Cao Pozi's hometown is Shangping Village, which is located in a poor ravine, and since 100 years ago, the village has a very normal custom at that time.

Boys are born treasures, and girls drown.

At that time, it was not peaceful, there were wars everywhere, and their village was really poor and couldn't open the pot, and they couldn't even eat half full for seven or eight months a year, but in the village, the men were the ones who could stand up to the door, and the men could survive, and everyone was desperate to have children, and they couldn't feed and feed them when they were born, where were they willing to raise girls.

I don't know what's going on, but since one day, the men in the village have been born with some problems, some are not in good health, some have brain problems, and some have disabilities, and this kind of problem is endless.

In the years when Cao Pozi was born and raised, it was the worst time in the village, she was a girl, but she was thrown into the river by her father for a long time, and the stone that bound her fell off and floated up.

Of course, the family still loves her younger brother, only the younger brother is the hope of the family, as long as there is a little food, it also fills her brother's mouth, as for her, she can barely live without starvation, that is a blessing. (To be continued.) )
