At the time of the unitary hour, the sky has already been covered with a deep twilight, and there are a few pedestrians on the road, walking in a hurry towards the direction of the West Lake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mo followed closely in the footsteps of the yacha in front of him, and found that he was in the same direction as those pedestrians, and he was extremely puzzled.

He has been to this prefect's yamen twice, but it is not in this direction at all!

"Hey, are we on the wrong track?" Li Mo opened his mouth and asked.

I don't know if the leading yacha didn't hear it or for some other reason, so he just strode forward without answering Li Mo's question.

Li Mo suddenly panicked in his heart, this big night, he didn't want to come out with it. In case it is sold, the other party is overwhelmed, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss!

But soon he laughed, feeling a little paranoid.

It's ancient here, although it doesn't say that the night is not closed, and the road is not forgotten; It's not like modern times, where people don't even have the most basic trust in each other.

Thinking of this, Li Mo glanced at his father, who was being carried by the four officials. Seeing that he was sleeping deeply, his snoring was loud and rhythmic, and Li Mo was inexplicably relieved to hear it.

After walking for about half a cup of tea, the originally scarce pedestrians suddenly increased, trotting or walking briskly, and squeezed into the crowd not far ahead.

Li Mo calmed down, only to find that the black pressure in front of him was full of people, and there was a commotion.

The crowd was crowded, and I couldn't see the scene of being surrounded in the middle, only faintly saw some firelight, raging, jumping out of the height.

Barbecue convention? Bonfires?

Could it be that Chen Lun wanted to surprise his father, so he lied that there was a tricky case?

Li Mo is not good at solving cases or anything, but if it is about eating, hehe, as a pure foodie with eight hearts and eight arrows and diamonds, he can immediately say more than ten ecstasy postures necessary for masturbation.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

The yacha opened the way, and the crowd instantly gave way to a narrow passage like a parting sea.

Li Mo followed, his mind was full of roasted kidneys, sheep's tails, and big octopus, but he didn't know if there was cumin here, if not, it would be a bad dish.

He was struggling with it, and suddenly it seemed that the atmosphere was not quite right. Not only did I not hear the enthusiastic singing and dancing of the people, but I didn't even smell the aroma of the ingredients.

Puzzled, he stopped and looked around, and Li Mo was suddenly full of black lines.

In the center of the crowd stood a cross made of thick logs, crooked, and at a glance I knew that it had been made in a hurry.

The cross was tied with a large number of flowers, his head hung down on his chest, his unkempt hair covering his face, and he did not know whether he was dead or unconscious.

There was a lot of firewood at the man's feet, piled up in all directions, almost as high as his calf.

Ten paces away, there was a bonfire burning, blazing and crackling, and a fool would know that it wasn't for a barbecue.

It seems that he is going to do something, Li Mo said in his heart, such a barbaric and bloody scene is really not suitable for a sunny young man like him, it is better to run away.

"Without evidence, you can't be so careless of human life."

Chen Lun's voice sounded, successfully retaining Li Mo's footsteps to leave.

Li Mo turned around and looked around, only to see Chen Lun standing in front of the cross with a gloomy face, his hands wide open, like a hen guarding a cub, protecting the person tied up behind him, and the red official robe was solemn and majestic reflected by the firelight.

"My lord, this person is a mourning star. Now he has the audacity to harm people's lives and not burn him, it is really difficult for the people to be outraged! A well-dressed middle-aged man who looked like an outsider said eloquently.

Chen Lun was unmoved, and said, "As a parent, this official should be fair and strict, and he can't bend human life at will. Now that this person has not woken up, and the cause of the matter has not been clarified, how can you let him do whatever he wantonly and burn him to death! ”

The middle-aged man was quite excited when he heard this, and pointed to the person who was tied to the wooden frame with one hand, and said in disgust, "My lord, you open your eyes and see clearly, where is he?" It's clearly a monster! ”

Chen Lun didn't hear it, and said indifferently, "All things have spirits, not to mention whether he is a monster or not, even if it is, the official must first investigate the case before he can judge." Outside of Zhen Yuan, you are so anxious, but you have a grudge against him? ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, his face became a little pale, and he said, "Naturally no, I, I'm just saying everyone's thoughts on my behalf." ”

"That's right, Zhen Yuanwai is a good person who gives porridge to help the poor, paves roads and builds bridges, and we will speak out in the future."

"That's right, if it weren't for Zhen Yuan's sharp eyes, we wouldn't have known that this ugly thing was actually a monster."

"No wonder we are unlucky every time we eat the fruit he sells, it must be poisoned in it. Such a despicable monster must be burned to death! ”

"Burn the youkai, burn him!"

The crowd pumped their fists and shouted in unison to demand that the tied man be burned to death.

They gradually gathered around the center of the field, and the officials who were responsible for maintaining order suddenly became nervous, and half-drew their swords to guard against them.

Only then did Li Mo know that the case was not necessarily tricky, and Chen Lun's real purpose was to call them to help.

There is a way that is difficult for the people to break when they are angry, and the law does not blame the people.

Naturally, officials are not afraid of the people, what they are afraid of is the foolish people who are easily messed around with rhythm.

Because when most people think something is right, even if it's wrong, it becomes right.

After all, everyone is so happy, if you are unhappy, what does it matter if you sacrifice it!

Li Mo saw that the situation had become a little deadlocked, and looked at Li Banjin with some anxiety.

Li Banjin had already been put down by the officials, lying upright on the ground, snoring loudly, obviously dreaming sweetly.

Since he couldn't count on him, he had to go on his own, Li Mo hurriedly waved his hand loudly, "What the adults say is extremely true, and the little ones also want to find out the ins and outs." Save the monster from being burned to death and become a ghost, and when he comes to find my no, the little one can't argue. ”

Everyone hesitated a little when Li Mo said this, after all, it was a monster who was tied, and if they were found in the future, they were afraid that they would not be enough to stuff their teeth.

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Li Mo hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "My lord, forgive me for my clumsy eyes, why didn't I see that this person was a monster?" If he's an ordinary mortal like us, don't succumb to death? ”

Chen Lun secretly praised Li Mo, and was about to speak, but just now the Zhen Yuanwai had already strode in front of the kidnapped person, lifted the man's unkempt hair, pointed to his hairline and said, "If there are three holes in this place, I am afraid that I will die a long time ago!" What is it if it's not a youkai? ”

It was not clear from a distance, Li Mo took two steps forward, and only then did he see clearly that there were three black holes the size of thumbs in the hairline of the tied person.

However, what surprised Li Mo was not the three black holes, but that he finally saw the appearance of the kidnapped person clearly.

Isn't this the same peddler who was coaxed to sell cherries during the day?
