Chapter 250: Go up the mountain to collect medicine
Soon, the villagers were woken up. The officials looked at them majestically. "You stupid things, if you don't tell the truth, the pain of your flesh and skin is indispensable."
Song Zhiyao comforted the Wang family, and she looked at those people. "It's all from the villagers, that thing, the face is also covered with a cloth, where can I recognize it."
One by one, the villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously. "My lord, we have been wronged!" Liu Yichen said very majestically.
"Whether you are wronged or not, you have to have conclusive evidence, otherwise I will not be able to prove your innocence." The dwarf at the head held his head and whispered.
"I just went out to pick up a few more loads of dung." His clothes were so shabby, and he looked listlessly ahead, scratching his unkempt hair.
Liu Yichen endured the foul smell and approached him. "Did you see someone's footprints? Just now, someone broke into this courtyard. ”
The villagers looked at each other, they knew that this dwarf had always had a bad reputation. "I see, my lord, that guy, into the straw stack."
Together, they followed the dwarf to the side of the mountain. "Right there." The dwarf shook his head and said with certainty.
Inside the straw stack, it did seem like something was wriggling. "You kid, we've found you, get out of here."
Liu Yichen held a long wooden bar in his hand and snapped it hard in that direction. There was a burst of grass ash, but it didn't move.
Song Zhiyao felt suspicious on the side. "Since you said you came out to pick up cow dung, what are you going to do over there? Isn't it weird? ”
The dwarf turned his head, his cheeks bulging and swollen red. "Miss, you can't frame me, that person's shadow in the moonlight, just go this way."
Just as the two were arguing, Liu Yichen turned around and shouted majestically. "You people, you haven't recognized the real murderer yet? It's among you. ”
One by one, the villagers knelt on the ground and looked around. Clung to the muddy ground, he didn't dare to get up. Only the dwarf, fearfully.
"My lord, the little one didn't see the moon, but just wanted to come out and steal two bundles of straw, but I only heard footsteps, but I didn't see the direction of the man."
Song Zhiyao looked at the dwarf and sneered. "It's all because you're lying, it's really bad, or we would have caught that thing."
Liu Yichen fell in his hand, and a long bamboo leaf green came out of the bundle of straw. He was quick with his eyes and hands, and he was killed directly with several sticks in a row.
"It seems that this dwarf is telling a lie." He had an idea and said. "That old madman, we haven't gone yet, find him out."
The villagers, one by one, followed timidly, trembling with fear. Song Zhiyao boldly walked forward and pushed the door hard.
"Squeak." The door fell to the ground in an instant, and inside, a face was revealed. "Hanged!" She hurriedly stepped back, her face pale with fright.
Liu Yichen held a torch in his hand and strode forward. It turned out that the old madman had a white silk around his neck, and his tongue was sticking out.
"Where did this neat white silk come from?" He looked at the fallen chair and measured the old madman's height. "It won't be that short."
Together, they searched the courtyard for a long time. "This old thing, it's really unlucky, I don't usually look at the villagers, so we don't care about him."
The villagers, scolding and swearing, searched the dilapidated earthen houses. "What is this?" They pushed the thatch away and found a tunnel.
Liu Yichen hurriedly ran over, looking at the entrance of the cave over there, and the brown-black soil was pushed out on both sides, emitting a rich aroma. "It's not far yet."
He hurriedly took a few officials and drilled down together. The air was very suffocating, and they struggled forward with their torches.
The whole cave becomes, and the further down you go, the more spacious it becomes. "It turns out that this place seems to be an abandoned ancient tomb, no wonder it's so big."
Song Zhiyao was also relieved not to be obscene, and followed cautiously. I walked to a muddy place, and the soles of my feet clicked on the water.
"Who?" Suddenly, from a corner, a nervous cry was heard. A black shadow ran out in an instant, and inside his hand, he grabbed a sharp blade.
Song Zhiyao was shocked, and the man grabbed Song Zhiyao. "You, dare to discover my secret, let me be happy for a while."
Liu Yichen turned around, anxious. "You're the flower thief, aren't you? Don't run! With a sword in his hand, he stabbed at him quickly.
The man threw backwards violently, throwing Song Zhiyao to the ground. She rubbed her back and felt a sore feeling. "Don't let him run."
Liu Yichen slammed into him with all his might, and the man held the dagger and stabbed him hard at the wrist. With a whoosh, he cut open the cuffs of Qin Huanchao.
"It's pretty ruthless." Liu Yichen smiled coldly and slammed his knee hard. The man fell to the ground. Several officials stepped forward and pressed him hard.
Wang stepped forward and looked at the man. "You dog, you dare to hurt adults, it's really bold, today is the time for you to die."
Song Zhiyao looked at the man's face by the light of the fire, it turned out that a piece of broken skin had been bitten off, and the traces of the tooth marks were dripping with blood.
Liu Yichen gave the order majestically. "Arrest the man, take him to the county office, and let him spit out his words, and these things will be clear."
The man was also a dead duck with a stiff mouth, a frown, a strange smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "You ridiculous thing, I won't say it."
Then his cheeks moved, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth. "Pulling this thing down is the sin of killing the head, and we will wait until the trial is over."
His tongue was only bitten through the skin, and the servants stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth. "To be honest, I'm still happy when I get to the Yamen."
The people looked at the man and went up and punched and kicked him. "It's all your fault, hateful beast, for tossing us all these hours, damn thing."
Wang's parents stepped forward and said to the villagers. "We're really sorry, my girl, it's just to catch this thief."
Song Zhiyao looked at their expressions and understood their thoughts. "This thing, stole the silver in the inn, and the girl of the Wang family reported the case."
Wang smiled with relief on the side, and also knew that Song Zhiyao was helping herself cover up. "Father, I have to go to the city and come back tomorrow."
Soon they were in the city, and the man's hood was removed, revealing a rough triangular face full of wrinkles and scars.
Liu Yichen patted the man's shoulder and said kindly. "That old man, you did it, right? It's just that he still has something to say to you. ”
The man shook his head, bit the rag from his mouth, and slammed into it. "I'll take it out for you, and then give you a good meal, I'm not afraid that you won't recruit."
Hou Qu and Xiong Li, the two of them also came over and joined in the fun. "I didn't expect this thief to be caught so quickly, it's good."
Soon, several officials brought a pot of fragrant roast chicken. "How? Tastes good, right? You've become a thief, and it's time to say something. ”
Wang was on the side, pinching the man's ear. "You dog, confess!" The man couldn't, and he confessed the case 1510.
It turned out that on that day, he and several fellow tomb robbers found an ancient tomb in the village. I had just finished stealing something and saw the Wang family passing by.
He had a lewd and disgusting smile on his face and picked his nostrils. "That little girl, I want to touch it no matter what, and I don't want to kill her."
Wang stood aside, just speechless. Song Zhiyao then asked. "Even those who died, you did it, right? You should be well aware. ”
The man sneered. "It's me who did it, whoever made them refuse to share more of my treasure, there are still some things in the tomb, I can pick it up alone."
Song Zhiyao looked at the man's eyes, revealing a little cunning light. "It's really funny that you let that monk take the blame for you."
The man chuckled. "I didn't expect to be caught by you, Lao Tzu has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so long, and the blessings he deserves have already been enjoyed."
He broke free from the shackles on his side, slammed his head against the wall, plopped, and fell to the ground and gasped. Wang just scolded with hatred.
"You dog who kills a thousand knives, you can't die well if you are a ghost." They cleaned up the corpse. "This case, finally."
Wang looked at them with a trace of tears in his eyes. "Since my body is dirty, I don't live anymore." Slamming into the heavy wall as well.
Song Zhiyao saw that the situation was not good, so she grabbed her. "How can you have parents at home? The two of us will give you money to make you filial to your parents. ”
They comforted Wang and sent her home. Her parents knelt at the gate, kowtowed, and said respectfully. "Thank you, Lord for your grace."
Song Zhiyao looked at Wang's face, which was much better than before. "It's really pitiful, it's just such an unwarranted disaster, no one feels uncomfortable."
They took their entourage and went to the county seat together. The prefectural order gave them a splendid house. "It's the best in the county."
Song Zhiyao looked around, looking at the rockery on the side, a gust of wind blew, and the verdant lotus leaves floated up. The surroundings are very quiet.
Liu Yichen thought in his heart. "It's not bad even this place, it's already stopped here anyway, it's better to rest for a few more days, and then move on."
They thanked the county order, and the two of them stayed in the room. "Xianggong, you said that girl, it's really pitiful, if it were me, I would have found a short time ago."
Liu Yichen looked at Song Zhiyao and stretched out his fingers to flick her forehead. "Yao'er, don't scare Xianggong, that kind of thing will never happen."
The two men stroked each other's foreheads and gently pressed against each other's lovely faces. "Never separate, no matter what the sword is and what the sea of fire is."
Song Zhiyao goes out every day to buy some fresh vegetables and cook all kinds of delicious dishes. Those attendants were full of praise one by one.
Song Zhiyao looked at their satisfied looks and smiled softly. "Brothers, don't praise me, I'm embarrassed to make a little girl."
In this way, two days later, Song Zhiyao and Liu Yichen walked in the noisy market, walking. Looking into the distance, a towering house.
The eaves are carved with a cute child, holding a golden ingot. Another line of words was engraved. "Smile often, and make money."
Song Zhiyao looked at the dazzling array of goods inside, held hands, and walked in. "Xianggong, I'll let you break the bank today, and the little girl won't want to go."
Liu Yichen also knows that Song Zhiyao likes to visit these shops the most on weekdays. The two of them walked for a long time and bought a lot of rouge and incense powder.
The shopkeeper in the store was a white fat man with a kind smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you buy more, the small shop will give you cheaper."
Song Zhiyao looked at those good things and wanted everything. "That's enough." She haggled over, and the two returned home with the package on their backs.
Liu Yichen and the two of them decorated the room again. "I have to stay a little longer, feel more comfortable, and also recuperate this tired body."
The two of them lay on the soft bed, hugging each other. "Along the way, those unlucky things have been far away from us since then."
Song Zhiyao thinks about those troubles every day, but now, she doesn't have to be afraid of them at all. "Go back, and we'll be right."
Liu Yichen grinned. "That's right." They fought for a while before they slowly fell asleep. The next morning, he walked down the street again.
