The girl looked at the pretty girl in front of her with wary eyes and nodded fearfully.

Xiaonuo: "Tell me, how did your sister die?" ”

The girl quickly shook her head, and was about to leave with the bamboo basket on her back, but Xiaonuo chased after her, took off a silver hairpin from her head, and said, "If you tell me, I will give you this beautiful hairpin." ”

The girl first looked at Xiaonuo's face, then at the beautiful hairpin in her hand, swallowed her saliva, and shook her head.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward and said to Xiao Nuo: "Forget it, let's let her go." ”

Xiao Nuo still wanted to fight for it, but the girl walked away quickly.

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "If you handle a case like this, everyone will be bankrupt a long time ago, and everything that should be sent will be sent." ”

Tu Long also smiled and said, "Meng Ye said yes. ”

Xiao Nuo said unconvinced: "I also call it strategy. ”

Meng Tianchu laughed and said, "You are a strategy, but your strategy is not very clever. ”

Xiaonuo: "Then let me see what is smart?" ”

Slaying the dragon: "There is a princess who learns from Meng Ye." ”

"Master Meng, Li Zheng from Wang Village is here."

Meng Tianchu looked back and saw Chai screaming to himself, followed by a man in his thirties, dressed as a farmer, looking very strong.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward and was about to give a salute, but he took a step forward to salute Meng Tianchu, and shouted respectfully in his mouth: "Lord Prefect, the lowly Wang Shan has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly helped him up, smiled and said, "No need to be formal." Get up and speak. ”

Li Zheng got up, Meng Tianchu said, "I called you here to discuss something with you." ”

"If you have any commands, just tell me. The lowly duty must be done according to your instructions. ”

Meng Tianchu turned around and pointed to the grave behind him, and said, "I'm going to open the coffin for an autopsy." ”

When Li Zheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Chai Meng said, "What, Lord Lizheng seems to be a little embarrassed?" ”

Li Zheng hurriedly pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I heard that this Xiaolian died of some terrible disease, and the people in the village now dare not interact and talk to their people, even if they walk far away, for fear of infecting the mobile phone Moxiang Academy." Now that the prefect is going to open the coffin, in case this disease comes out of the coffin village, then I, the Lizheng, am not sorry for these hundreds of villagers? So—"

Meng Tianchu: "Li Zheng's consideration is all reasonable, but who said that Xiaolian was sick, and who saw Xiaolian get sick?" ”

Li Zheng was sweating profusely nervously, bowed his head and said, "This humble position is-it's not clear, everyone is talking about it, so-"

The dragon slayer roared. said: "You are a court official, and you didn't check it clearly, so you listened to the rumors of the villagers. and even spread falsehoods. What are you guilty of? ”

Li Zheng was intimidated by the sound and momentum of the dragon slaying, and fell to his knees as soon as his feet went limp.

Meng Tianchu: "It's not wrong to slay the dragon, as a village leader, you shouldn't just listen to other people's rumors and leave." Take me to Wang Wu's house and ask for clarification. If it's really Xiaolian who has something to infect people, let's make a plan. ”

Ri was shaking to his feet. Hurry up and lead the way in front.

Wang Wudi's mother-in-law was eating at home with three children, and when she heard someone shouting outside the door, she asked the little girl who was carrying the grass just now to see who it was, and the little girl pushed open the door, it was getting late, and she didn't know who it was, so she asked softly: "Who is it?" ”

Li Zheng said loudly: "I am Li Zheng Wang Mountain. ”

The little girl did not come to open the door, but turned around and went into the door to call her mother, and soon the woman walked out again, and walked to the courtyard gate to see, it was really the Lord Li Zheng in her own village, so she hurriedly opened the wood door, and shouted with trepidation.

Li Zheng covered his mouth and nose, for fear that he would be infected, and then cautiously said to Meng Tianchu: "Otherwise, let's let Wang Wu's mother-in-law move a few stools, and we will sit in the courtyard, it's cool outside." ”

Meng Tianchu ignored it and walked directly into the house, as soon as the woman saw that it was Fang Cai, she hurriedly stepped forward to block it with her hand, and before she could speak, Li Zheng rushed forward and scolded loudly: "This is Lord Meng of the Meng Governor of Hangzhou Mansion, you are so bold, hurry up and get out of the way for me." ”

Although the woman didn't understand what kind of official this handsome young descendant in front of her was, she knew that the biggest local official she had ever seen was Li Zheng in her village, and even Lord Li Zheng had to nod her head when she saw this person, presumably this person's official was bigger than Li Zheng's, and she put her hand down when she thought of this.

Meng Tianchu stepped into the house one step at a time, but quickly retreated, and was about to follow Xiao Nuo and Chai Meng and Slayer Long, who were about to enter the door, looking at Meng Tianchu strangely, Meng Tianchu frowned, and said, "Why is there a smell in this room, and there are so many flies?" ”

Xiao Nuo probed in, and saw a big bed in the room, a table and a few benches, three ragged children lying on the table, one holding a bowl in his hand, the room was full of flies, it was already dark this day, and there were so many flies, it was really unappetizing, Xiao Nuo quickly covered his mouth and retreated.

Li Zheng said a little proudly on the side: "My lord, I have said it, you must not be used to the houses in this village, so it is better to sit in the courtyard." ”

Meng Tianchu turned around and walked to the middle of the courtyard, and looked at the courtyard was also a mess, looking very messy, it seems that this Wang Wu's mother-in-law is also a greedy and comfortable person, he has been to a lot of farmhouses, like such sloppy, it is really rare.

Li Zheng hurriedly motioned for the woman to move a few stools out, and then ordered to make tea, Xiaonuo hurriedly said, "The tea is still not needed, we will leave after asking." The thought of the dirty bowl made Xiaonuo shudder.

The woman moved out a few benches from the house, and after everyone sat down, Meng Tianchu said to Li Zheng: "Let all the people in the house come out, I have something to ask." ”

Rizheng quickly got up and went into the house and called out the three children.

Meng Tianchu looked at the woman standing opposite him and the three yellow-skinned and thin children, and his heart was sour. The three children all looked like they were still smart, but there was not a single elephant. The members of Xiang Shuyuan beat their mothers with their own ugly appearances, but probably because of long-term malnutrition, each one looked a little sluggish.

Meng Tianchu said to the woman: "You are Wang Wu's insider? ”

The woman was a little puzzled, and Li Zheng said on the side: "My lord asked you, are you from Wang Wu's family?" ”

The woman nodded her head and said yes.

Meng Tianchu: "When did Xiaolian go home, and for what reason did she die?" ”

When the woman heard this, she lowered her head and stopped talking, but when she looked at it, she said in a loud voice, "Are you deaf or dumb, and what do you say?" ”

The woman only shook her head, but did not speak.

Li Zheng saw that Meng Tianchu's face was not good-looking. I was in a hurry, and I couldn't wait to step forward and kick her, and said, "You don't say yes, do you?" If you don't say it, I'll send you to the prison of the county yamen, and let those officials beat you up severely, I think you will say it. ”

The woman raised her eyes in fear and looked at Li Zheng, and when the words came to her mouth, she still couldn't help but say nothing.

Xiao Nuo pulled the boy standing beside him and said with a smile, "Do you miss your sister?" ”

The son ignored Xiao Nuo. only coughed desperately a few times, and Li Zheng on the side quickly covered his mouth and nose and looked at the boy with some disgust.

Xiao Nuo didn't do that. But from the bosom as if it were a trick. He took out a big red apple, probably picked in the orchard just now, and when the boy saw the apple, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it. Xiaonuo quickly took the apple aside. Still smiling and saying to the boy, "You answer my sister's three questions, and I'll give you this apple to eat." ”

The boy swallowed.

He nodded fiercely.

Xiao Nuo looked at Meng Tianchu proudly, and then asked, "How did your little sister Xiaolian get sick and what did she die of?" ”

The boy was about to open his mouth, but the woman pulled the boy to her side, looked at Xiaonuo viciously, and then said to the boy: "Don't say it, or my mother won't buy you meat to eat." ”

The boy's eyes were still staring at the apple in Xiaonuo's hand, his mouth pursed, and he cried loudly, and the woman hurriedly coaxed, only to see that the boy's face was red after coughing violently.

Meng Tianchu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly motioned for Xiaonuo to sit beside him, and whispered, "Don't talk to this child face to face, you know?" ”

Xiao Nuo said disappreciably: "Brother Meng is even scared of you? ”

Meng Tianchu felt that the child's symptoms were a bit like tuberculosis, so he remembered that he had read an article in high school that seemed to be called blood steamed buns, so it was better to pay attention to it.

Meng Tianchu glanced at Xiao Nuo seriously, and then said: "Listen to me, just sit beside me, if you are disobedient, Brother Meng will be angry." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Nuo still sat down obediently beside Meng Tianchu.

The boy pointed to the apple in Xiaonuo's hand and said with a crying voice: "Mother, you are lying, you said to buy me meat to eat, it's been four days, and I haven't seen any meat, or you let that sister cut some meat from them for me to eat, okay?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the woman quickly covered the child's mouth and said, "Nonsense, they are your sisters, how can you cut their flesh for you to eat?" ”

The boy's mouth was covered, thinking that he couldn't get angry, his face turned blue, Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "You hurry up and let the child go, you will kill him after doing this." ”

When the woman heard this, she quickly let go of her hand, and the boy breathed a sigh of relief and fell weakly into the woman's arms.

When the two girls saw their brother say this, they both knelt on their knees, begging their mother not to cut off their flesh for his brother to eat, saying that it hurt so much.

The woman was frightened and told them to get up, and said incoherently, "Your brother is in trouble, and you can figure it out if you are also making fun of it and eating human flesh." ”

The boy suddenly said, "Then didn't I eat the meat of my second sister?" ”

When the woman heard this, she was so shocked that her face was as dead as ashes, and the hand holding the boy hung down weakly.

Meng Tianchu looked at the woman coldly and said, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Nuo said in surprise: "You shouldn't be giving Xiaolian meat to your own brother, right?" ”

The boy innocently said, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!" ”

Meng Tianchu stepped forward, stood in front of the woman, and said, "If the official asks you, you must answer truthfully. ”

Li Zheng didn't expect the situation to become like this, and he also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly walked to Meng Tianchu's side, repeated Meng Tianchu's words, and added some threatening words.

The woman was probably frightened and said, "I don't know anything about ——,, Wang Wu won't let me tell anyone, we just killed our own daughter, do we still have to pay for our lives?" Xiaolian was born by me, I killed myself to give birth to it, won't I say no? ”

Li Zheng sighed loudly, stomped on the floor fiercely, pointed at the woman, did not say a word for a long time, and then rushed out of the door, probably to call someone.

The woman saw that Li was leaving angrily, and then looked at Meng Tianchu in fear, and Meng Tianchu said, "Why did you kill Xiaolian? ”

Woman: "The family has no money for the treatment of the baby, so let Xiaolian go to earn money, who knows that it has been out for a month, and none of them have been taken back, his father is in a hurry, and he went to find it, and later said that it is a building that specializes in collecting female dolls, and he wants to buy Xiaolian and give us two taels of silver, two taels!" When she said this, it was as if she had seen the two taels of silver.

Meng Tianchu: "You mean to sell your little lotus to the Qinglou?" ”

The woman was reminded by Meng Tianchu, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Yes, yes, it's what kind of green building, it is said that it is good to eat, to wear, such a good place, I want to go, but people say that it is young and beautiful, but."

Our damn Xiaolian actually told her father that she would rather die than go, you say, is she really muddy? ”

Everyone was speechless when they heard this, and Xiaonuo said angrily: "No matter how poor you are, you can't sell your sons and daughters, right?" ”

The woman glanced at Xiaonuo disdainfully and said, "We are also for her good." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then is it because Xiaolian doesn't go, and you will kill her?" ”

The woman said innocently, "She herself said that we should kill her, saying that she would rather give her heart to her brother than go to that building." ”

Chai Meng said: "That's your own daughter who was conceived and gave birth in October, how can you-"

When the woman saw Meng Tianchu's expressions were very angry, she was even more frightened in her heart, and held her son tightly in her arms, her body trembling constantly.

Meng Tianchu: "Who killed Xiaolian?" ”

The woman hurriedly replied: "It's not me, I'm just helping Xiaolian and his father press his leg or something, Xiaolian is very powerful, and the child's father can't do it alone." ”

Meng Tianchu gasped, as if he saw poor Xiaolian struggling desperately, and he said, "When you killed Xiaolian, were your children all there?" ”

The woman shook her head, and Meng Tianchu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard the woman say, "At that time, they were all working in the fields, but they all ate Xiaolian's meat later." ”

Meng Tianchu and the first emperor's Xiaonuo, Chai Meng and Slayer Long were all dumbfounded, as the so-called world is big, there are no surprises, today is really a long experience, the tiger poison is not yet eaten, not to mention the ink standing in front of him, the incense book. The members of the garden are still beating a group of living people, if they don't hear it with their own ears, who will believe it?

Suddenly, Xiao Nuo turned around and rushed to the door and bowed his head and vomited wildly, Meng Tianchu motioned Chai Meng to go over and take a look, and then said to the woman: "Then what are you doing with eating Xiaolian and making a grave for her?" ”

Woman: "The grave is just some internal organs and heads, and his father said that these things cannot be eaten, and if it is winter, they can be used for enemas to eat, but this qi can not be released, and flies are released, so they are buried." ”

Meng Tianchu then understood how the smell in the house came from, it seemed that he was standing in the middle of the courtyard of a devil's house that killed people without blinking, eating people without spitting out bones, looking at the woman and a group of children, Meng Tianchu suddenly had the same feeling as Xiaonuo, feeling like vomiting and feeling cold.

He sighed, and only took two steps, when he suddenly heard one of the girls say timidly, "Brother, I didn't eat my sister's meat." ”

Meng Tianchu turned around, it was originally the child who carried the grass just now, he wanted to laugh, but he didn't succeed, so he had to nod slightly, the girl suddenly knelt down for Meng Tianchu, and said: "Brother, please, don't let my father and my mother kill me for my brother to eat, I will be obedient, I will do a lot of things, I am still young, I would rather be sold by my father and mother to the building where there is food and clothing, I am afraid of pain, I don't want to die."
