"Oh...... It's me who's in a hurry...... I apologize, but if something like this happens again in the future, it is better to wake me up sooner if it can wake me up. Duan Fei said, and added: "Of course, my safety is the most important thing!" ”

"Got it." Su Rong replied angrily, helped Duan Fei put on his official uniform, and then put a hat on him, Duan Fei didn't wash his face, and walked out.

When the two appeared in the flower hall, Judge Peng and Su County Ling were chatting about the local livelihood policy, and when they saw Duan Fei coming out, the two hurriedly stood up to greet each other. ”

Su Xian Ling said: "Lord Duan, we have asked about the origin of the deceased, and the villager has already taken the reward and left. ”

"Gone? Any idea where he went? Duan Fei's voice was raised a little, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, Peng Xing's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Duan, what does it matter?" Do you suspect that he is the murderer? ”

Duan Fei calmed down and said: "It's not, the reward is not much, it shouldn't attract the murderer to expose himself, but I'm worried that this guy will run back to report to the deceased's relatives, and then scare the murderer away, where is the deceased from?" Tell the groom to hurry up and prepare the horses, and we will be on our way at once. ”

With questions, everyone followed Duan Fei and rode to Shuxi Village by the water in the west of the county.

Not long after leaving the city, I saw a man in cloth hurriedly walking in front, and Chai Junfu, who was following Duan Fei, suddenly leaned towards Duan Fei and said, "Lord Duan, the farmer in front of you seems to be the one who unveiled the list today." ”

Duan Fei raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone slow down the horse steps, Shi Bin, Guo Wei, bring that farmer to me." ”

The galloping horse team stopped, Shi Bin Guo Wei quickly brought the farmer to Duan Fei, and the Shanggao County Commander pointed at him and reprimanded: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to report the murderer? ”

The farmer was so frightened that he trembled, and when he heard Lord Su's words, he hurriedly defended himself and said, "No, my lord, I just rushed back to report the good news to the Dou family." ”

Shangguan was present at the county order, he shouldn't have rushed to speak, but he was anxious that he had done something wrong, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to grab the second sentence again, Duan Fei didn't care about these small summaries, and grabbed the flaw in the farmer's words and immediately shouted, "Good news?" The old man of the Dou family died of his son, and the woman died of her husband, you actually went to report the good news to others? Is it begging? If you don't explain clearly, don't wait for the Dou family to beat you, I'll ask someone to beat your ass first! ”

The farmer was startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said: "Adult Mingjian, the villain said the wrong thing, but it's not all wrong, this Dou Fa is really not a good person, is the biggest bully in Shuxi Village, he often has nothing to do with the people of the same village, and fights when he doesn't agree with him, he also likes to drink, once he gets drunk, he beats his wife, if someone stops him, he will beat people, even his old son has suffered a lot of punches and kicks from him, this person is disobedient to the extreme, no one can cure it." ”

"A few months ago, he was instigated to go out and mix, I heard where to join the army, with a brute force to be a petty official, and found a woman outside to live, we just hope that he died outside and will not come back, I didn't expect to see his portrait posted at the gate of the city today, the small one is not greedy for silver, so he went to uncover it, and after getting the reward silver, he bought some rice grain, and was ready to take it back to the Dou family's father and Dou Fa's daughter-in-law to live a good life, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by adults."

"......I see," Duan Fei groaned, "You said that he often beats his wife, even his own father, is this true?" ”

"The villain does not dare to deceive the adult, this is known to the whole village, and many people have seen it with their own eyes." The farmer said.

Duan Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I believe your words for the time being, you follow slowly behind, and the official will go to your village to investigate the case first." ”

Duan Fei and the others set off again, flew away, ran for about half an hour, crossed the Xiekoushui River, and came to Shuxi Village.

Everyone saw a huge banyan tree from a distance, and the official who led the way was in high spirits and said: "It's almost there, and the banyan tree is a little past the entrance of Shuxi Village." ”

Everyone was a little thirsty from the higher and higher sun, and when they heard the words, their spirits were suddenly lifted, and everyone hurried to the big banyan tree, only to see that there were several old people under the big banyan tree who were enjoying the shade, and when they saw the brigade of people galloping on horseback, their faces were a little frightened.

One of the old men walked to the side of the road on crutches and shouted to everyone: "Dou Ming, the head of the old Shuxi Village, greet all the poor masters." ”

In order to pat the sycophants of the three adults, a servant scolded when he heard the words: "Blind your dog's eyes, don't you see the three adults?" The three adults condescended to come to your Shuxi Village, but the blessings that you have cultivated in Shuxi Village for thousands of years, don't you quickly notify the village and serve them well! ”

"No need!" Duan Fei shouted unhappily, he slapped his horse forward, turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to Su Rong, who was following closely by his side, and said to the old man with a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid, old man, we are here to investigate the case, and we will not disturb the place, please find a young man to take us to Dou Fa's house." ”

"Dou Fa?" The old village chief glanced at Duan Fei suspiciously, and then looked at the others, he didn't recognize the exquisiteness on the official uniform, and he didn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, thinking that Peng Xing, the judge with a big beard and sitting on a horse and not getting down, was a big official, knelt down at him, and said: "Dou Ming, the village chief of Shuxi Village, knocked on the three adults, my lord, but Dou Fa, that brute, has made another sin outside?" He has long been cut off from our Shuxi Village, and his affairs have nothing to do with our Shuxi Village, even if that beast dies outside, we will not allow him to return to the village with the corpse! ”

Peng Xing hurriedly jumped off the horse, picked up the old village chief, and said to him: "Old man, this Lord Duan next to you is the chief official today, and I am here with Lord Duan, if you have anything to say, you should tell Lord Duan." ”

The old village chief rubbed his eyes and bowed to Duan Fei again, Duan Fei saw that it was difficult for him to stand with gray hair, how could he let him worship again, hurriedly supported him, and said: "Old man, you are so old, I really can't stand it, let's stand and talk, don't tell you, we are indeed here for Dou, we are going to go to his house to see, just ask his father and wife a few words, old man, you can rest assured." ”

The village chief Dou Ming still chattered with some worry: "My lord, what that beast did really has nothing to do with our Shuxi Village, his father and daughter-in-law are hard-working people......"

After a while, they came to Dou Fa's house, and the crowd quickly dispersed without command, surrounding Dou Fa's house, and the villagers of Shuxi Village rushed to tell each other, and after a while, a large circle of people was set up on the periphery.
