Chapter 83: Suspicious

"The house is right ahead."

When the head of the Heifu Pavilion used his body as bait, dragged Li Zheng and Tian Dian, and pointed around, looking for people to talk and chat, attracting most of the people who watched the excitement, Ji Ying and Li Xian were ordered to patrol in Lizhong.

The patrol is fake, they actually want to take the "foal" to see the suspicious place that Ji Ying found when he came to the blind mountain to deliver the letter last time......

Long before entering the blind mountain, Ji Ying told everyone about the strange thing he encountered.

"Didn't I come to deliver a letter from Tian Zuo in January, when after eating, I looked for a place to go to the toilet, but I got lost in the middle of the road, and as I walked, I passed by a dilapidated hut in the north of the country......

Ji Ying said that the house was really tight, only a small window was opened to the outside, the window was gray, and there seemed to be a thin iron fence inside, just like the prison where the suspect was held in the pavilion......

Ji Ying was a curious person, so he leaned his face over to look, because it was bright outside and dark inside, and it was very hard for him to watch.

At this moment, a man with a cloak of hair rushed from the dark room towards the window! Scared him back!

"The man with the cloak seemed to be a woman, and when she saw me, she slapped her hand with her hand, so that the wooden bars of the windows were ringing, and she said 'save me, save me,' and her voice was a little hoarse, and she couldn't hear what she said later."

"I was so frightened that I retreated, and at this time someone came to find me, and told me to follow, not to run around, and another person went to the house, and said something loudly in the dialect of the book, and immediately there was no movement in the window......"

Afterwards, the insider also explained to Ji Ying that it was someone's concubine who was locked up, and she was already crazy and had to be locked up, otherwise he would bite people like a mad dog everywhere and tell him to ignore it.

Ji Ying was not suspicious at the time, and when the end of the plundering case pointed to the blind mountain, he suddenly remembered this stubble.

"Maybe it's the daughter of the colt who is locked up inside!" The incident mentioned by Ji Ying is almost the only clue for Heifu and them.

However, although Heifu had dragged out most of the officials and most of the people in Lizhong, Lizheng was still not at ease, so he still sent someone to follow Ji Ying and the others. Just halfway through, Ji Ying covered his stomach and said that he had abdominal pain, and asked the man to take him to Xuan quickly, but the man had no choice but to tell Lixian and Ju to stand still and not move.

How could the two of them not move, and as soon as the watchers had left their front feet, they hurried to the north. Ji Ying told them that last time, the family was single-handed, next to the inner wall, and there was a crooked jujube tree in front of the door, which was easy to find.

After a while, they found the family that Ji Ying said, this family lives alone, a little far away from other neighbors, there is a crooked jujube tree planted in front of the door, the yard is only surrounded by a simple fence, the cow dung paste house wall is black, the roof is simple thatch, and it looks like a poor family.

The hut that Ji Ying said is located on the edge of the jujube tree.

The foal pounced anxiously, lying on his stomach at the window where Ji Ying had seen people, and whispered inside......

"Kites? Kites? ”

However, he shouted many times, but there was no movement inside.

Fearing that he would shout louder and louder, he quickly pulled the foal back, stood on tiptoe and looked into the house, and after sweeping around, he said, "There is no one inside." ”

"Nobody!?" Disappointed, the colt stomped his feet and said, "Could it be that we have made a mistake?" ”

"That's right, it's this family."

At this time, Ji Ying also trotted over, he didn't know what method he used, and he had already gotten rid of the people who were spying on them.

He also looked at the window, and said that this was really a strange thing, and the last time he came, there were obviously still people.

"Could it be that it has been removed! Although it is not big here, there are more than 20 households, do we have to look for them one by one? ”

This is exactly what Leham was worried about, if the person was okay inside, he was afraid that someone would see those suspicious women one after another, which would arouse the vigilance of the blind mountain, so he moved the woman to the mountains and forests inside and outside.

Liham told the foal to calm down, and he walked around the house, but when he saw that the door was closed, and the yard was empty, there was no half-man, presumably the owner was not at home.

There didn't seem anything suspicious in the yard, and he didn't stop abruptly until he had made a half-circle around the backyard!

In the backyard there was a pigsty, enclosed by a wooden fence, which looked very small, and before Liham could come to him, he smelled the strong stench inside, which made people very uncomfortable.

When he got to the side, he was stunned to find that the pigsty was empty, and by the trough with some water, it was not a man who was asleep!

A woman with a disheveled hair and no clothes!

……

"That's her! It was definitely her last time I saw her! ”

At this time, Ji Ying also followed and immediately shouted.

When he saw the woman in the pigsty, curled up in the mud and straw, as if she really resembled her daughter, he screamed in pain and was about to turn over into the yard.

Liham was still a little hesitant: "Wait, it is illegal to break into a private house without the permission of the owner." ”

Ji Ying said: "We are ordered to handle the case, and we don't have to be punished!" ”

"What if this woman wasn't sold?"

"When is it, and what are you going to care about?"

Ji Ying didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and immediately flipped in, and the colt followed.

At this time, the flies and insects on the woman sleeping in the pigsty suddenly flew up, and she was awakened, and the woman was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was dreaming, but when she saw that two strangers had begun to climb over the fence of the pigsty, she began to scream.

Ji Ying arrived first, he endured the stench in the pigsty, squatted down, and helped the woman untie the hemp rope tied to her hand. I don't know how long the rope has been on her hand, her wrists have worn out thick calluses, and her exposed arms and thighs are also covered with blood scars, and she has been beaten a lot.

"What a beast." Ji Ying couldn't help but scold, even if it was really a subordinate concubine, it didn't have to be like this.

After the woman was untied from the rope on her wrist, she grabbed Ji Ying violently and cried: "Help, save me......"

Ji Ying nodded and said, "We are the pavilion guards sent by the county, and we are here to save you, but you are a woman who was plundered and sold?" ”

The woman didn't know if she had been locked up for a long time, and she couldn't even say what she could say, but she still nodded and said vaguely: "Plunder, yes, I was sold here, and for many years, they forced me, beat me, and locked me up here...... Save me, save me! ”

As she spoke, tears flowed from her eyes, sending two traces of innocence from her dirty cheeks.

"Look, I'm right!" Ji Ying was overjoyed, turned back to Lixian and said, beckoning him to come in and help.

At last the foal had crossed the pigsty, and the old man had stiffened his legs and stumbled, but he immediately got up, and he staggered over and knelt before the unkempt woman, and his hand trembled on her shoulder, and there was a cry in his voice.

"My daughter, you have suffered!"

Then the woman looked up, and the foal ripped away her dirty, knotted, straw-stained hair, revealing her face......

This was a young woman under the age of twenty, but because she had suffered so much in the past few years, she looked like she was in her thirties......

Looking at the foal who called her "daughter", the woman was a little puzzled.

"Who are you?"

Kony also took a closer look at the woman's face, exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped back, stumbling down at the foot of Lixian, who had just entered the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Liham felt wrong, this was not what a father and daughter looked like.

"She'......" the foal raised his hand and pointed at the woman, and although he didn't want to admit it, he murmured, "She's not my daughter, she's not my kite!" ”

"What!?"

Li Xian and Ji Ying were shocked.

Ji Ying didn't understand what was going on for a while, but Lixian thought quickly in his mind.

"This woman claims to have been sold, but she is not the daughter of a foal, is it ......?"

His face changed: "In this blind mountain, there is more than one woman who has been plundered and sold!?" ”

At the same time, a loud shout was heard outside the courtyard.

"What are you doing!?"

When the people turned around, they saw three farmers who had just returned from the field standing outside the courtyard with their farming tools in hand.

Under the sun, their dark bodies were shiny with sweat, and their faces were also black, as if they had been confined by someone, and they looked at Ji Ying, Lixian and the others with some anger......
