At sunset, the sky was red as if it was on fire, and Fang County Ling sat behind the plan in an official uniform, and the plaque hanging above his head read the four big characters "Zhengda Guangming".

On the left and right sides are the officials holding the torture sticks, and the back is bustling with ordinary people watching the excitement, and kneeling in the hall is Zhang Dahu, who was brought back first by the arrestees.

In the hot noon of this summer, everyone was originally gathered under the big tree to enjoy the shade, but today I heard that it disappeared and said that the county master was going to ascend to the church, so people from all over the country came to see the excitement.

But after waiting for a long time, the county magistrate was still sitting on it, except for knocking on the shocking wood at the beginning, there was no movement after that. This made the people below who were originally frightened start to buzz again......

"Who is kneeling in this church? What did you do? "This is asked by someone who doesn't know anything.

"Oh, there is a murder case in Qingquan Town, this man is the murderer, don't look at the person who looks like a person, but he is a black-hearted person, this kind of person should die immediately!" It was the butcher in this county who spoke, and the pigs were all white knives in and red knives out, so there was a smell of blood when he spoke.

“…… This brother, how can he say this, the case has not been decided, but the suspicion is constantly clear, but he cares about people's lives! Next to the butcher stood a white-faced scholar, of course he disagreed with the butcher's statement, shaking his head with an expression on his face as if he had been wronged.

'A' read 'Novel' ybdu

"Grandma's bear, it's not to kill you, you want so many words......" The butcher didn't look down on this scholar, and burst into foul language.

"You...... You ......"

"Alright, alright! Above the public court, how can you wait to be presumptuous, if you want to see the excitement, be quiet! "Fang County Commander has been a county magistrate for more than 20 years, and for the people in Lushui County, the temper of each one is clear.

Sure enough, as soon as the county magistrate spoke, the crowd that was originally like a vegetable market quieted down suddenly. It's just that the scholars and butchers who were about to fight just now have quieted down, and they are afraid that the county master will get angry, although they will not be beaten, but they will definitely be arrested and thrown out, and then they will not be lively and good-looking.

"You go to the back hall to see, is this Mu Zhutou back, if he comes back, bring him over immediately, if he doesn't come again, even I can't sit still." Fang Xian Ling beckoned Xiao Kuai, who was standing on the side, and asked him to go to the back to see the situation, and the catcher quickly responded, put down the torture stick in his hand and walked away.

Fang Xian Ling breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his tense body, and waited for the result with a sad face. Just now, a team of catchers who went to Qingquan Town brought Zhang Dahu, but they also brought a message from Mu Rulin, telling Fang County Commander that Zhang Dahu must wait for him to come back.

Fang County Ling only knew that a murder had occurred in Qingquan Town early in the morning, and he originally thought that it would take ten days and half a month to catch the murderer at the earliest, but who would have thought that this was only half a day's work, Mu Rulin had investigated the case clearly, and Fang County Ling was both excited and scared.

The excitement is that if he solves this life lawsuit, if he reports it, he may be able to get the above commendation, and the fear is that he has never tried a murder case. Although he has been a county magistrate for more than 20 years, his most recent cases are only those of the east and west families, either your family took one of my eggs, or his dog bit a passerby, this kind of trivial matter. Maybe it's really the fate of this county order that is not good, or maybe this Lushui County is too stable and there is no major event. Fang County Commander also has no merit, and there is no one on it, no wonder he can only be a small county magistrate for more than 20 years, and he can't move his nest.

"My lord, my lord, Mu Zhutou is back, he asked the villain to tell the adult that if you want to solve the case, you only need to wait for a stick of incense, and then it will come out!" Xiao Yukuai, who was sent away just now, hurriedly said the above words by the ear of the county magistrate, and when the county magistrate received Mu Rulin's reply, it was as if he had taken a reassuring pill.

coughed, ordered someone to light a stick of incense in the center of the lobby, and did not torture Zhang Dahu who was kneeling, just waiting for a stick of incense, Mu Rulin gave him an answer. If you want to ask why this county order trusts Mu Rulin so much, although this county order can't be an official, he still has some ability to know people.

Originally, this Mu Rulin came here from the capital, and he was still holding the emperor's edict in his hand, which made people feel strange, and what he carried with him was an embroidered spring knife. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's cronies, even if he is poor, he will not be relegated to this kind of place, he must have a secret mission, this kind of talent who is trusted by the emperor, working in his own hands, is his luck.

To say that this county order is still a bit discerning, and the guess is not bad, Mu Rulin, who is now pinned his hopes, interrogated the Zhang family in the back office.

"Zhang, you also heard it, that Zhang Dahu can't stand the torture, and has already confessed everything he knows, do you still have to quibble?" Mu Rulin turned his back to Zhang, leaning under the window and looking at the red colors outside.

Zhang bit his lip, feeling bitter in his heart, just now there was indeed a little catcher who came in and muttered to Mu Rulin, and then Mu Rulin told Xiao Catcher to tell Zhang clearly about the things he interrogated in front. That little catcher is also sharp-toothed, although the speed of speech is fast, the words are clear, this Zhang Dahu confessed all the things, even if Zhang didn't believe it, he was just deceiving himself.

As soon as I entered the yamen, I was taken to this dark room, the room was very dark, there was only a window the size of no one's head, and in the middle of the room was a stool, which was the one where Zhang was sitting now. As for the perilla who came together, he was taken to another place by Fang Zhouyu, and the Zhang family was brought here by Mu Rulin for interrogation.

Walking into this room, the psychological defense line that Zhang had built along the way seemed to immediately crumble, and she was very scared, even more frightened than a knife stabbed into Wang Po's chest. Mu Rulin had his back to her, and he was dressed in black clothes and black pants, as if he was blending in with this black room.

"Zhang! You committed adultery first, murder later, and now you want Zhang Dahu to carry the black pot for you, who gave you such a bold son, is it not only Zhang Dahu who has committed adultery with you, who else do you say? Mu Rulin's speech was a little fast, which made Zhang tremble when he heard it, he originally thought that Mu Rulin would ask her if she killed Wang Po, but he didn't expect to ask such a thing.

"No, no, I haven't done anything to be sorry for my late husband, that is, you can't slander me like this!" Zhang bit his head and refused to admit it.

"Oh? Slander, I slander you, is the child in your womb you and your late husband? You must know that it has been more than two years since your father-in-law left, how can it be difficult to be a Nezha? Mu Rulin still turned his back to the Zhang family, and had no intention of turning back.

When the Zhang family heard this, they didn't know why Mu Rulin even knew such a thing, oh! By the way, it must have been said by that Zhang Dahu, all of them were said, all of them were said! This damn Zhang Dahu, is the sweet words he said to himself fake, and he doesn't even want his own children anymore?

"You can also be honest, there is a life in the belly, I can ask the county master to help you intercede, so that the child in your belly is born. You can even find a good family for this child, it is better than following you as a wife, even Zhang Dahu has taken the blame, you are a woman's family, and there is no man around to take care of it, it is impossible to raise this child. Instead of suffering with this child, why can't we give this child a good family? Mu Rulin seems to have changed his way again, and now he is using a gentle policy against Zhang, and Zhang seems to believe Mu Rulin's words.

She got up from the stool, took a step forward, and looked out through the small window, just like Mu Rulin. At this time, the fiery cloud had slowly descended, but Zhang's eyes were blood-red, his mouth felt bitter, and he asked Mu Rulin tremblingly: "The words of adults, whether they really count can ensure that the child in my belly has no worries for a lifetime." ”

A ruthless woman, just like Zhang's, she used to be as gentle as water, and she once fantasized about being in harmony with her husband, but life made her as ruthless as she is now. I don't want to be a widow like this, I don't want to live alone for the rest of my life, and I don't want to raise a child who is not born to me to provide for my old age.

But she is also such a ruthless woman, she may really have a bad heart, but there is also a soft heart, just like Mu Rulin said, giving the child in her belly a healthy and safe life is much better than following her. Zhang's seems to be wrong to be a wife, but she is not wrong to be a mother......
