The old village chief wanted to say something to turn the situation around, but unfortunately people often became more and more panicked the more anxious they became.

He couldn't think of a word now, so he could only grab his son and run away from the villagers, and soon the mob disappeared into the forest.

Seeing them leave, Shun Hua was relieved, and the whole person sat on the ground slumped. "It's definitely not the first time they've done this kind of immoral thing that cares about people's lives, but it doesn't matter, God won't accept her."

*

Knock, knock, knock......

Yan Shunhua beat the drum vigorously, and every stroke seemed to be beating people's hearts, telling that there was injustice in his heart.

The drums of the mansion in the dead of night shook the sky at this moment, and everyone woke up in fright.

The county magistrate got up from the bed with a curse and cursed: "Who, it's a big night." Still don't let people sleep? ”

The county official's wife was woken up, turned over, and muttered: "Master, knocking on the door in the middle of the night, something big must have happened, why don't you ask someone to go out and take a look?" ”

When Shunhua raised his hand and knocked on the thirty-seventh blow, the door of the yamen was opened.

A sleepy-eyed, yawning official ran out with a lantern in his hand, looked at Yan Shunhua, who was soaked and sloppy, and asked: "Little fat man, what drum is you beating in the middle of the night!" Don't you see the door closed? Great grievances, please be early tomorrow! ”

Shunhua stepped forward and buckled the doorknob and hurriedly shouted:

"Brother Ya Gong, I want to come back tomorrow, but when I wait for tomorrow's trial, the person may die."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to sue the villagers of Qujia Village in Luoshui City, they are planning to kill their village chief."

"What?!"

The jaw of the official is about to fall, and the villagers kill the village chief?! This kind of strange case that can't be encountered once in a hundred years actually let him run into it?

"Are you telling the truth? If you dare to talk nonsense, the official will definitely beat your board. ”

Facing the serious little brother of the servant, Yan Shunhua raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said lightly: "How come, I am the plaintiff!" ”

"You're the village chief? They want to kill you? The official asked in confusion.

"I'm one of the three people they tried to kill."

Well? There are three village chiefs?

At this time, there were 10,000 horses running in the officer's mind, and he knew every word of this sentence, but when it was connected, he couldn't understand it.

"You're one of the three people they just wanted to kill?" The little brother pretended to understand, and asked again.

"That's right."

“……”

The case is so complicated, the little brother decided to hand over the complicated matter of understanding the case to the county lord, so he turned around and went in to wake up the adult.

The officials lit the candles in the public hall, and the county lord was dozing off in the public hall with his head propped up with one hand.

Occasionally, two dream words are uttered.

"Hmm...... Hall... Under... Ahh Plaintiff defendant? ”

"In the lower face... Hua is the plaintiff in this case. In the next step, he will sue the villagers of Qujia Village, Luoshui City, for money and murder. ”

"Okay, then... Which villager do you want to sue? Others are now available in the church? ”

"It's not one, I'm going to sue the whole village."

The county magistrate was suddenly awakened, "What? The whole village! ”

Yan Shunhua gave a general explanation of the cause and effect, and placed the injured Qu Luoer in the inner courtyard of the yamen.

An hour later, the official escorted a group of people into the court on the orders of the county magistrate.

Because Yan Shunhua has the ability to never forget, she recognizes every face that comes in. When they saw Yan Shunhua's face, they were all afraid, as if they still believed in the statement of the gods.

"County official, is there two people missing?"

The official raised his eyebrows, his forehead squeezed into Sichuan characters, looked at his subordinates and asked, "Huang Zongzhe, are all the villagers of Qujia Village here?" Is there two people missing? ”

The little brother scratched his head, and was about to count, when the other officials followed and carried two people in.

The two men had blackened skin, red eyes, bandages on their hands and feet, and lay on stretchers, unable to move.

"Everyone?" The county magistrate picked up the shocking wood and slapped it vigorously, "Open the court to try the case!" ”

Mighty –

The villagers want to kill the village chief, but it is rare to see it in a hundred years, and when the little brother of the official led a group of brothers to arrest people, not to mention how excited he was.

Even in the middle of the night, the officials are all refreshed and energetic, and they are waiting to eat melons.

Yan Shunhua was the first to speak: "Lord Qiyu, Yan Hua, a grass citizen, is originally from Liqiancheng, and traveled with his family in his early years, and he came back from this trip to worship his deceased mother, however, this time I accidentally saw this group of mobs committing murder, and I almost died at their hands. ”

As soon as these words came out, the villagers did not follow.

"My lord, he's lying, he's an adulterer, and he should have been immersed in the pig cage."

Shun Hua tilted his head slightly, looking at this group of ignorant beasts with contempt, "Then you should use me to sacrifice to the sky?!" ”

"It's... You're all going to die anyway, what's wrong with doing something good before you die? ”

Do something good?

Tying people to the stake and burning them alive is actually a good thing in their mouths?!

Is there any royal law left?!

Yan Shunhua looked at the county official without squinting, and said sincerely: "Lord county official, the grass people were accidentally pushed under the bridge today, accidentally hit the boat that sacrificed the river god, and fell into the river together with the bride who sacrificed the river god on the boat. ”

"As soon as we escaped death, we were burned at the stake by the people of Qujia Village, and threatened to sacrifice to the heavens to appease the wrath of the gods. I and this Qu Luoer girl, who has never been alive, just met in Pingshui, and the two only had a one-sided relationship, but they were wronged by the village chief of Qujia Village and secretly made a contribution, and they became adulterers. She pointed to the village chief on the stretcher and said sternly.

As soon as the words fell, the villagers of the Qu family said with a pure face: "No, my lord, they just have adultery, we all heard Qu Luo'er say it herself, they have made a private decision for life, and they plan to elope!" ”

"Yes, yes, Qu Luo'er is clearly pregnant with his evil seed! You should dip them in the pig pen and sacrifice them to the sky! ”

Yan Shunhua was really convinced, this group of mobs could really say anything.

How can two girls have children?!

If she had tea in her hand, she would definitely spray them in the face.

So that they may be sober!

"Bold!" The county official picked up the startling wood and slapped it vigorously, pointed at the group of villagers and scolded: "Diao Min, this official has already invited the famous Wen Po in the city to test Qu Luoer, she is obviously still a yellow flower girl, how could she be pregnant with Yan Hua's child, you group of people are clearly trying to make money and kill people, and you want to take the opportunity to slander you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the villagers' faces turned pale and they didn't dare to say anything.

"Yan Hua, go on."

"Yes, sir. At that time, Qu Luoer and I were tied to the stake, and it was she, Aunt Qu, this vicious old woman, who actually smashed Qu Luo'er in the face with a stone and ruined her appearance. Then, the villagers lit the stake and wanted to burn me and Qu Luo'er alive to carry out what they called a sacrifice to the heavens! ”

Yan Shunhua's sentences are reasonable, and every word is heart-wrenching.

The officials who were watching couldn't help but get angry, and glared fiercely at this group of Diao people.

The county magistrate looked serious, stared at Aunt Qu, and asked loudly, "Defendant Qu, is there such a thing?"

Aunt Qu cried on the spot, crying and shouting injustice: "Woo woo, my lord, don't listen to his nonsense, it's Qu Luo'er, the demon girl, who killed my grandson, because she is not good, she killed my grandson, and killed several children in our village, and the immortals all said that she was a goblin." ”

"Immortals? Who are the immortals you are referring to? The county magistrate asked in a raised voice.

Hearing this, the old woman said proudly: "Of course, it is Wuqing Mountain Xiaoyun Dao Chief Xu Chang, Xu Dao Chang is also." He's so famous, the official won't have heard of it, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate was silent.

Even he had heard the reputation of the Daoist of Xiaoyun, and the saying of ghosts and gods has always been that if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it.

In addition, there are several children dead in the village, so it is reasonable for the villagers to lose control.

For a moment, the court fell silent.

Shunhua sensed that something was wrong, and the officials looked at each other, and everyone was a little shaken.

This county official is not planning to forget it like this, right?

Immortals? The god stick is pretty much the same!

No way!

"It seems that this matter will be discussed in the future..."As soon as the county official spoke, Yan Shunhua immediately interrupted the county official's words, and a sentence of the blue sky lord woke up the people in the court.

"Lord Qingtian, you have read the books of sages, so naturally you won't believe the absurd statement that people's eight characters kill children, right?"

The county magistrate was a little weak-hearted, and coughed pretendedly. "Well, that's nature."

"My lord, the grass people have the courage to propose that Xiaoyun Dao chief to go to the court and explain everyone's doubts, how did he see that Qu Luoer was a goblin? Why can it be concluded that the sacrifice of the river god can bring people back to life! Yan Shunhua hid a trace of contempt in his eyes, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

Hearing this, the Qu family villagers were furious, pointed at Yan Shunhua and shouted: "What are you talking about!" Immortals have their own truths, do other masters still want to explain to you word by word?! ”

All of a sudden, there seemed to be a group of vicious dogs in the court, and there was a lot of noise.

The county magistrate picked up the startled wood and slapped it vigorously: "Shut up!" Above the public court, how can you people be allowed to shout like this! Come on, please Xiaoyun Dao Chief! ”

As soon as the words ended, the fire supervisor escorted someone in.

The county official frowned and said, "This official is judging the case, if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Tell your lordship, the lower official found this suspicious person at the gate of the city, and after a closer look, it seems that he has been in and out of Qujia Village, so the fire superintendent specially sent the lower official to escort him to the lord for interrogation."

"In this case, then stay..."

The county magistrate was just about to stay for interrogation, when the villagers' words shocked everyone present, "Xiaoyun Dao Chief! ”

Yan Shunhua was stunned, this person who smeared mud on his cheeks and carried a large bag and a small bag, as if he was going to smuggle away was the immortal in their mouth?

Ha ha! She won the battle.

Look how hard she slaps you in the face.

"My lord, since the Cloud Dao Leader has already sent... When you arrive, why don't you start interrogating, the grass people are very curious, how does the profound Xiaoyun Dao Master see a good girl as a goblin? Yan Shunhua looked at the Xiaoyun Dao Elder with fierce eyes, and saw that the other party's legs and feet trembled and knelt down.

Before I saw him, the county official thought that the other party must be a peerless master who was hidden deeply, but now it seems that there are more thieves than masters.

"Who's in the hall?" The old county official asked suspiciously.

"Here, in the lower clouds, Xu Chang hums." The Taoist priest stammered back.

"Have you ever been to Qujia Village, have you ever said that Qu Luo'er is a goblin, Bazi Kefu, have you ever predicted that as long as she is sacrificed to the river god, the people in the village can be brought back to life and keep peace forever? Don't hurry up yet! ”

Shocked by the slap, Xu Chang snorted and trembled, as if his soul was gone.

Xu Changhum closed his eyes tightly, swallowed his saliva vigorously, and suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he spoke fluently.

"Tell my lord, this seat has real evidence, Qu Luoer is really a goblin! She is not from Qujia Village at all. ”

There was a crisp click from the inner hall.

A pair of small golden bells fell to the ground, and Qu Luo'er, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes.
