Ning Jiang lay on the bed, listening to the noise in the direction of the courtyard, and knew that the seven aunts and eight aunts had arrived.

As soon as the seven aunts and eight aunts arrived, Uncle Ji couldn't suppress this matter even if he wanted to.

He knew very well that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, murder was a serious crime, but after all, the one who died was just a maid, if there were only these people from Ningfu present, Uncle Ji pressed it, naturally no one dared to say it, as long as there was no bitter lord to report to the official, the official government would not care even if it smelled some rumors. Even if there is a bitter master, who is bought with two taels of silver, most of the time it can be settled.

Of course, sometimes there will be bitter owners who don't want money, as long as the murderer pays for his life, and he has to report to the official when he dies, and the county will report to the government if he doesn't care about it, so it will be troublesome. But after all, there are few people like this, and most of the people who will let the daughters of the family be maids for others are also poor families, and they will be scared if they are scared, and they will swallow their anger when they receive the money, after all, they are originally the daughters who were sold.

However, as long as you really stab it up, a murder is a murder, according to the law of the Great Zhou, even if you kill a maid, you must pay for your life. As soon as the seven aunts and eight aunts arrived, the whole city would soon know, and someone went to report to the official, in this case, even the county lord could not suppress it, after all, when it came to the murder, he had no way to cover the sky with one hand, he didn't care, he was stabbed into the house, and even he was difficult to do as an official.

People, of course, were not killed by Ning Yicheng, but unfortunately, Ning Yicheng can't explain even if he is reasonable. How did he explain that the young master of his divided family appeared in the boudoir of the girl of the main family? How did he explain that he took off his pants and lay on top of the maid of the master's sister? If he dares to tell others, what he really intends is not the maid, but the young lady? Then he really didn't think he was dying fast enough.

The young lady of the main family, or a cousin with the same surname, actually gave birth to a non-dividing thought, this alone, in this era of ritual killing, is enough to ruin his life. What's more, if he talks about this dirty thought, there is still no way to wash away his murderous suspicion.

For Ning Yicheng and Kui'er, Ning Jiang naturally would not have half sympathy, or rather, it would be light to let them die like this.

He still remembered that in the life before he reversed time and space with "breaking the world" and was reborn, he returned from Xiling Cultivation and Evil Martial Arts, how he treated these two people, cutting them with thousands of knives, making them crawl under his feet like blood worms, and even the cry of pleading was dry, and now, under his mercy, let Kui'er die so simply, and if he wants to give Ning Yicheng an end, it is just a guillotine.

It's just that although he doesn't have any sympathy for Ning Yicheng, who was framed by him at the moment. But when he thought that Xiaomeng must have been frightened in the crowd at this time, he was very upset in his heart. Although there is no way to do it, the more Xiaomeng is frightened and overwhelmed, the less others will suspect her. It is normal for a thirteen-year-old girl to be frightened when she suddenly encounters this kind of thing.

It's just that he knows that things are not so simple......

"The county lord is here!"

As someone whispered, the entire Lu Courtyard quieted down, and even the seven aunts and eight aunts who were still noisy just now didn't dare to say anything one by one.

Gao Suo Zhi County Cao Qiding took a group of people into the courtyard, looked around, snorted coldly, sympathized with heaven and man, and the literary atmosphere in the Yin Mansion in the eyebrows turned into an invisible official authority, diverged out, and suppressed the audience at once.

Since 800 years ago, the great Confucian Dong Tianshu led the world's Confucians to the top of Mount Tai to "cast the saint" successfully, the Wensheng Kongqiu with the respect of the saint stationed in the crape myrtle star mansion, the crape myrtle star was renamed the Wendi star, deposed the hundred schools, and respected Confucianism and Taoism. The imperial examination is the basic law of Confucianism and Taoism, as long as the examination is "Xiucai", you can open up the Wenqu Yin Mansion in the ancestral hall of the eyebrows, sympathize with Emperor Wen's stars and celestial people, and get the literary atmosphere, and also say "the spirit of the saint" and "Haoran righteousness".

And with the higher the achievement in the imperial examination, the stronger the tone obtained through the sympathy between heaven and man. This literary atmosphere, unlike martial arts, does not enhance the strength of individuals, but it brings people invisible luck, using it as a punishment, it can turn official prestige, and use it on the battlefield to boost the momentum of the three armies. A military general, even if it is a grandmaster-level general, is only a hundred enemies or a thousand enemies, and a Confucian general born in Jinshi is a real "ten thousand enemies".

10,000 temporary recruits, under the leadership of the grandmaster-level generals, are just a plate of loose sand, and the role of personal martial arts on the battlefield cannot be said to be useless, but after all, it is useless, but under the leadership of a Confucian general who is powerless and has no strength to restrain the chicken, he is protected by his literary spirit and has monstrous luck, but he can fight bravely with the most elite northern barbarians without being weak.

It is precisely because of this that after Emperor Wen's Xingfu was opened up and "Confucianism was respected alone", the atmosphere of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was to emphasize literature and ignore martial arts, and although the northern barbarians and Xiling Miao people were strong, they were never able to threaten the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The magistrate Cao Qi must be from a person's background, at this moment, the official authority is divergent, and the audience is full of silence, before he asks, no one dares to make noise, even the most pungent mother-in-law is no exception.

"Your Excellency!" Zhao Hong, the head catcher who arrived in advance, stepped forward to bow.

Cao Qiding looked at him: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Hong made a respectful gesture of "please take a step to speak", came to the side, explained the situation, and said in a low voice: "Miss Ning's maid Kui'er died in bed, when she was found, this Ning Yicheng was violently assaulting her on the bed, and her subordinates have found out that the maid Kui'er was strangled alive, so it seems that it was Ning Yicheng who was violent because of rape." ”

Cao Qiding frowned: "How does Ning Yicheng explain?" ”

Zhao Hong said: "He naturally didn't admit it, but when asked why he appeared here, he was hesitant, his words flickered, he didn't tell the truth, obviously there was a ghost in his heart." What's more, when he was caught, he was still hurriedly putting on his pants, he was not a murderer, but who was it? "Although Ning Yicheng shouted that he was wronged, which prisoner did not cry out for injustice? There are all the witnesses, at least the "suspect" has no way to escape.

Cao Qiding paced two steps, and suddenly said: "Ning Yicheng may have misdeeds, but someone sees him misdeeds, but no one sees him kill, or someone kills Kui'er first and puts it on the bed, Ning Yicheng doesn't know it, and he is violent to her?" ”

"Although there is also this possibility," Zhao Hong said, "but I also asked other people around me, the mother-in-law and old servants in the garden gathered together at that point in time, hiding from their masters or gambling or chatting, there was no time to commit the crime, although the young lady of the Ning family had no alibi, but she was a girl, and she had never practiced martial arts, Kui'er stood there and let her pinch her and couldn't kill her, who else besides Ning Yicheng?" ”

Cao Qiding looked at the girl who was sitting there supported by two old women, and saw that she was already scared like chaff, crying non-stop, not to mention that she didn't have that strength, even if she had that strength, no one believed that she had the courage to kill. He stared at Zhao Hong, and then looked at Zhao Hong, and suddenly said, "What about Ning Jiang?" ”

Zhao Hong replied: "It is said that after the lake set in the daytime, he has not woken up yet, and the young lady of Ningfu is accompanying him, so there is no one to get a certificate." ”

Cao Qiding sneered: "Take a look!" "Lead the team to the place where the young master of Ning Mansion lives......

Ning Jiang was lying on the bed, listening to the movement outside, and already knew that the county magistrate Cao Qi had arrived.

Not only had they arrived, but they were coming to his house.

After being reborn, Ning Jiang naturally already knew that Cao Qiding helped Ning Ji fight for the family property that should belong to him, and it was not just as simple as being bought by Ning Ji, behind Cao Qiding, there was a deeper purpose that even Ning Ji didn't know. And because of that purpose, Cao Ji decided to make Ning Ji the head of the Ning Mansion in Gaosuo County no matter what.

Ning Ji's son had a problem, which was also a problem for Cao Qiding. If he enters the house and finds that Ning Jiang has woken up, then, regardless of whether there is evidence to prove that Ning Jiang is suspected of murder, Cao Ji will definitely try to implicate him, go to prison first, and then talk about it, and the rest is nothing more than a matter of torture.

But to pretend to sleep in front of them, it is obviously not an easy task, Zhao Hong, the head catcher, was originally a martial artist with internal strength, and he knew the way of luck, whether a person was really sleeping or pretending to be asleep, he would know it as soon as he checked it.

Although Cao Qiding doesn't know martial arts, he is a person who opened up the Wenqu Yin Mansion with the ancestral knowledge of the eyebrows, and it is also difficult to deal with.

It is almost impossible to pretend to be unconscious in front of these two people......
