"My lord, I have proof." The leader of the robbers said.

Several clan elders in Songjia Village were a little surprised when they heard this, but Song Wan'er smiled slowly, her eyes full of anticipation that a good show was about to be staged.

The county magistrate looked at the changes in the underground people, and the expression on his face became more and more gentle, it seems that he really did not work in vain, and he will know what the outcome of the matter will be.

Lord Qincha frowned slightly, wanted to say something, thought about it, and didn't open his mouth after all.

Someone among the elders of the Songjia Village clan who was kneeling on the ground looked at Lord Qincha who was sitting safely, and the vigilance that rose in his heart relaxed a little.

No one noticed that the robber at this time was a little different from the beginning, and if he looked closely, he would find that it was a little sloppy, and similarly, his eyes were a little dull and a little dull in the depths of his eyes.

Yunmo has been standing by Song Wan'er's side, and he also saw the glance that Song Wan'er looked at the leader of the robbers, and raised her eyebrows slightly at this time, looking at the little girl who looked at him with a look full of surprise.

Is this also one of her magical methods? Yunmo thought in his heart.

"What evidence do you have?" The prefectural magistrate asked.

Everyone else also looked over, and several clan elders in Songjia Village looked at the robber leader, although their eyes were a little surprised, but they were not too worried.

"It's not the first time this person has come to us, we started working together a few years ago." The leader of the robbers spoke, and when everyone in the public hall heard this, several people's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at the leader of the robbers fiercely.

Is this man confused? He might die if he didn't say this, but if he said this. I'm afraid that his whole family will not end well.

The leader of the robbers didn't seem to see the gaze of these people, and continued: "A few years ago, we really couldn't get by, and we were sad and angry when we watched our parents, wives and children starve to death and die of illness one by one. That's when I got the bad intentions......"

With the story of the robber leader, everyone seems to see the disaster that claimed countless lives a few years ago.

***

“…… We've found the house and found the location, and we're waiting for the evening to begin,......"

Wait until the evening. They came to the house of the person they had favored earlier, and a group of people were very nervous about doing such a thing for the first time.

"Big brother, are we going to rush in like this?" One of them asked, looking at the leader of the robbers.

"Stupid!" The leader of the robbers glared at the person who spoke, "The door is closed, how can we rush!" ”

"That's it, Ermu just doesn't have brains." The other is humane.

"Then you say, how are we going to get in?" Ermu seemed to be a little honest, and he was not angry when he heard the words, but just looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"This ......," the man paused. continued: "Of course, this has to be listened to by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will do what he says, and we will do it." ”

The leader of the robbers who pricked up his ears and was listening: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Everyone glared at him in unison, you don't have any good ideas either.

"Big brother, what should we do?" Ermu looked at the robber leader and asked.

The leader of the robbers looked a little embarrassed under everyone's gaze, and during the day, he stepped on a little light and thought about how to act inside, but he didn't expect that after night, the door of this house would be closed, and how to get in became a trouble.

The leader of the robbers did not speak. Everyone fell silent.

"Big brother, why don't we go over the wall and go in." Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ermu scratched his head and said.

He was a good climber of trees, looking at the walls of the house. It's not as tall as the big locust tree in the village, so there's no problem turning it over.

The leader of the robbers slapped the two woods, and the force was slightly greater.

"Who told you to say it, I'm about to sue everyone." The leader of the robbers said, secretly rubbing the sweat in his palms on his clothes, and beckoned everyone: "Just turn over the wall." I've got a good idea of the place, you all can climb the wall, right? ”

The leader of the robbers looked at the people in front of him and asked, without waiting for everyone to answer, and then said: "It's okay if you can't climb the wall, it's the same as climbing a tree, just climb up the wall." ”

"Hmm." Everyone nodded.

The leader of the robbers looked around and beckoned everyone to follow.

"Come with me, I've taken care of the place during the day, there are hardly any people there, and no one will go at night, so let's go in from there, and then follow what we agreed in advance, and go our separate ways." The leader of the robbers said.

"Okay." Everyone nodded, and followed the robber leader around the high courtyard wall for some distance before stopping.

Looking at the tall courtyard wall in front of them, everyone swallowed, this looks different from climbing a tree.

"I'm going to show you the way." Seeing that everyone was not moving, the leader of the robbers secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, and then spoke.

The hands were clenched into fists, and the sweat in the palms of their hands did not stop along the way, and now they were really going to become bad people, and they were caught by officers and soldiers, which was a big crime.

Taking a deep breath, the leader of the robbers strode forward, only to see a man standing under the wall while he was doing his mental activities.

"Big brother, I'll come!" Ermu said quietly, "I'm a good hand at climbing trees, and this wall can't stop me." ”

"Since you kid is in a hurry, let you come." The robber leader pretended to be displeased, but in fact, he was relieved in his heart, God knows that he had never climbed such a high wall.

Ermu's voice is honest, but his movements are not lazy at all, and he climbs over the wall to get in very neatly.

"Ermu, how's it going? Is there anyone in there? The robber leader asked in a low voice.

Everyone else pricked up their ears to listen, and some people were in charge of watching the wind, and in the dark night, the streets were very quiet, the sky was beautiful, and the moon was not bright tonight, and it was dark all around.

Silence, silence for a long time, everyone waited for a long time, and there was no movement from there......

"It's not going to happen, is it?"

"Why don't I go and see?"

"This Ermu is really unreliable, but it's okay to say it!"

The crowd outside the high wall lowered their voices and looked at the dark surroundings. Inexplicably, I felt a little nervous, and a little scared.

"Boss, why don't we go?" The timid man spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

"You're crazy. Ermu is still inside, how can we leave him alone. Without waiting for the leader of the robbers to speak, the other man said angrily, his deliberately lowered voice full of anger.

"I'm not crazy, but I don't know what I'm doing. We can't put everyone in danger for the sake of one Ermu! The timid man's face turned red with embarrassment, but fortunately no one saw him in the night, and he held his breath.

The others were also a little moved when they heard this.

"Boss, I can't." The angry man turned his head to look at the leader of the robbers.

Sensing the tension of the atmosphere, the robber leader was also nervous, but he was the boss and knew that he couldn't be chaotic at this time, and his own people couldn't be in civil strife.

"Don't make any noise!" The leader of the robbers scolded in a low voice: "We can't mess up by ourselves, everyone will lift my spirits." Be careful, I'll go in and see......" The leader of the robbers stopped everyone from talking, and continued, "If the situation is not right, you can run ...... quickly."

"Boss, you can't go in, in case there's ...... inside," someone worried.

"We can't leave Ermu alone, and what's going on inside now, everyone doesn't know, let's go back like this, what are the people at home going to do?" The robber leader lowered his voice.

The voice fell. The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone's hearts became a little heavy.

Oh, yes!

The people in the family were still waiting for them to get back the money to save their lives, so they ran back with no money. Could it be that I watched my daughter-in-law and children die, and watched my father and mother starve to death......

Everyone fell silent one by one, and the person who had just been the first to say that the situation was wrong and wanted to withdraw did not speak again.

"So be it, you wait outside, and if I don't come out in a quarter of an hour, you leave quickly. I'll think of other ways when I get back. The leader of the robbers said.

"Big brother...... "Someone behind him shouted.

"I can't let my eldest brother go in alone, I'll go with my eldest brother." One of the men spoke.

"And me, I'll go ...... too"

"I'll go too, I'm not a bad seed, how can I watch my eldest brother go on an adventure......"

"That's right, you can't leave your eldest brother, and that kid Ermu, if you can't see us after you come out, you probably won't be able to find your way home......"

When this was said, everyone had to follow suit.

"Don't quarrel, don't argue, I'm the boss, I have the final say." The leader of the robbers said.

As soon as the boss spoke, the younger brothers below finally calmed down a little, and everyone quieted down.

"Then big brother, be careful, we'll wait outside."

"Big brother, you step on my shoulder and go in."

"Big brother, after you go in, say hello, brothers go up together, we won't leave our brothers and run by ourselves."

Running back is also waiting for death, it is better to follow the boss to do a big job, if you are lucky, there is still a way to live.

"Hmm." The robber leader nodded.

***

“…… I climbed the wall and went in, it was quiet, very quiet, I whispered to Ermu, but he didn't respond, this kid has a bit of a straight temperament, I don't know if he didn't hear it, or if he ran away alone......"

"I later thought that although this kid has a straightforward temperament, he will always do what he promised, and said that he would wait inside, and he shouldn't run around, so I decided to jump down and look for him, so I let the brothers wait outside......"

In the courtroom, everyone listened to the robber's words and had a guess about the next development of the matter.

It is estimated that the person named Ermu ran away stupidly, these people should have done this, otherwise there would not have been robbers in the township for so many years.

Song Wan'er's face turned slightly pale, and sweat faintly appeared on her forehead.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" Yunmo took a step forward, looked at Song Wan'er with concern and asked, stretching out one hand to her forehead.

On such a cold day, why did you sweat so much and get sick?

Song Wan'er wanted to take a few steps back and avoid Yunmo's hand, but at this time, she was a little weak, and was grabbed by Yunmo, and a warm big hand fell on her forehead, with a faint fragrance.

This smell is so familiar, this person often practices martial arts in the bamboo forest, and he has a fragrance of bamboo.

Song Wan'er thought of it in a trance, and her drowsy brain smelled the familiar faint fragrance, and suddenly sobered up a little.

"I'm fine." Song Wan'er said.

Yunmo frowned, with worry in his eyes.

The little girl's breathing sounded a little wrong, and the whole person didn't look very good, if it weren't for Song Wan'er repeatedly shaking her head to say that she was fine, Yunmo couldn't wait to take her to the doctor immediately.

Song Wan'er and Yunmo's actions did not attract the attention of others, and at this time, there were not a few people in the public court who were sweating on their foreheads like Song Wan'er.

In the public court, with the narration of the robber leader, some people had more and more sweat on their foreheads, and in the cold winter, the thick cotton clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.

"Shut up, above the court, what the adults want is evidence, what are you talking about these irrelevant things?" Someone scolded.

"My lord, this robber leader is cunning, he must want to delay time, my lord can't condone it!" Someone looked at the county magistrate and said sincerely.

"This is the court of the county government, don't talk about your own sinister thoughts, so as not to offend and affect your family."

There was a threat in his voice, and when the words fell, the county magistrate glanced at the speaker with interest and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It's actually someone from the government, it's interesting!

"The official is quite interested in these things, everyone listens to them, and knows the reason why they are robbers, which will also help the official to govern the people on this side in the future." The prefectural commander spoke.

Only by understanding the reasons why the people can't get by, can we better govern and let more people live, so that they will not die in vain in troubled times or become bad people like those robbers.

"What do you say, sir?" Lord Prefectural Commander looked at Lord Chincha and asked.

Lord Qincha had been sitting high in the public hall, and when he heard the words of the prefectural magistrate, he nodded noncommittally, but a touch of impatience flashed between his eyebrows.

These old things, who is interested, he regretted coming over a little, he knew that it was such a thing, he might as well hurry up and find someone, at least he didn't have to sit upright all the time.

The legs under the robe moved slightly, the public hall was empty, and Lord Qincha had been holding the shelf and not moving, and his legs were frozen to the point that he was a little unconscious.

At this time, it is especially important to be observant of your own subordinates, who always know what to say and when.

"Isn't it going to try the case of the old Songjia village clan colluding with robbers today? He has been talking about irrelevant things, it could be that he is stalling for time, waiting for someone to save them. One of Chincha's subordinates spoke.

In addition, someone looked at the patriarch of Songjia Village and motioned for them to speak, so that this case could be closed quickly, and the people who were taken care of by the adults of his family would naturally take care of them.

The subordinates were stunned to find that the clan elders of Songjia Village did not accept his hint at all, in fact, at this time, the clan elders of Songjia Village had long been unable to care about the thoughts of others, and there was only one thought in their hearts, that is, they were going to be finished.
