Chapter 7 Drawing a Portrait of Yun Mo
In the Jingxi Dynasty, there was a rule that no matter what time it was, as long as the local villagers went to beat the drum to redress their grievances, the people of the Yamen had to try the case.
If there is a disobedience, once it is found out by the parents above, it will be punished. At worst, he will be dismissed from his post and at worst he will go to jail.
It was precisely because Lin Yue knew about this that he dared to sue the county government after dark.
Although the county government of Qinhe County is far away from the imperial city of Jingyu City, Qinhe County is rich in traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and the wine, tea and silk here are very famous. In Jingxi country, it is a relatively wealthy county. The scale of the county government will not be small.
After Lin Yue sounded the drum of shouting grievances, someone soon came out to ask. The person who came was a woman dressed in a black dress, with green silk tied high, very atmospheric. The eyes that looked at her flashed with a sharp light, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
Lin Yue was not afraid of anything in the face of the woman, and came to the yamen one by one.
When the woman heard this, she led Lin Yue into the gate, walked through the hundred-meter-long bluestone road, and walked straight into the hall where the county magistrate was working.
On both sides of the hall, there were tall officials, all of whom held killing sticks in their hands. As soon as the county lord ascended to the court to try the case, they shouted in unison: "Might~Wu~"
Lin Yue was still very calm in the face of this formation. What the county lord asked, she answered.
No matter who else is above Liu Yunmo, they all say it truthfully. As for whether he will be retaliated against by the rich man Liu's family after returning to the village, these will not be considered for the time being.
Anyway, the children of her adoptive parents should still be at her distant uncle's house at this time, not in Huaxi Village. Rich Liu, they can't hurt her younger siblings.
The county lord looked Lin Yue up and down, ordered the master to take a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and hand it over, and asked Lin Yue:
“…… Do you remember the face of the female suspect? As you said, she looked to be in her twenties,...... In this way, it is better for you to draw it, so that the official can see it more clearly. ”
Lin Yue knelt in the hall, looked up at the county magistrate, and replied confidently:
"Okay."
After that, someone handed over the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and she knelt on the carpet and drew a portrait of Liu Yunmo. The mole on the corner of the woman's eye, she also drew it.
In this time and space, there is no camera available, so we have to try to draw Liu Yunmo's portrait clearly. Otherwise, the recognition is low, and it is quite troublesome.
It's better to draw some special features of Liu Yunmo as much as possible as the sixth prince told her before, so that they can easily identify them......
An errand officer took the portrait from Lin Yue's hand, stepped forward, and handed it to the county commander Zhang with both hands.
Mr. Zhang took a look at the portrait, the woman in the painting was lifelike, just holding the portrait and looking at it, you could feel the charm of the woman.
Can't help but admire:
"It's a great job."
Lin Yue was proud. I thought to myself, this is not the first time she has painted. Draw a portrait of Liu Yunmo, can you stump her?
When she was still in the new world, she had painted a diamond bronze mirror before she bought it. If it weren't for the fact that she drew well, her parents would not have been shocked:
"Yiyi, you have dreamed of mirrors many times, and you really bought them."
"You're so talented, Yiyi."
The picture of the rhombic bronze mirror can be drawn, and painting a willow Yunmo is just like that.
A mechanical voice sounded in Lin Yue's mind:
"If the host Yueyue does a good job, he must point out the crimes of the bad guys in time, punish the evil and promote the good."
"Is it worth adding luck?" Lin Yue asked in her heart.
"No, but you can be allowed to dream of Ah Jing tonight......" The Linghua Bronze Mirror Companion Jun Good Luck System replied to Lin Yue so domineeringly.
Lin Yue was helpless.
Well, if you don't add it, you don't add it.
Who has made himself the pitiful master of this system?
Coincidentally, at this moment, Lin Yue's ears heard the voice of the county magistrate Zhang's question:
“…… You said that there were five other women in Huaxi Village, who were also taken away by Liu Yunmo, and one of them, a woman named Niu He, had committed suicide by biting her tongue. Are there any eyewitnesses to this? ”
Lin Yue knew that the county magistrate would ask this.
When she was still in the valley, the sixth son who saved her also asked her so. At that time, she told the truth.
When the sixth prince escorted her out of the valley on horseback, he sat on the back of the horse and whispered to her, "...... If you go and listen to the prefectural magistrate like this, he will be able to understand your difficulties. ”
Lin Yue listened and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Childe."
At this time, Lin Yue knelt in the hall, recalled the method taught to her by the sixth son, and said truthfully: "......"
When the county magistrate Zhang heard this, he reached out and stroked his beard with satisfaction, and said:
"In that case, then you will stay in the mansion tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the official will send someone to escort you back to Huaxi Village in secret. First, I want people to find out the situation, and second, I want to find out Liu Yunmo's accomplices, arrest them as soon as possible, and give you justice......"
When Lin Yue heard this, he looked grateful, and planned to kowtow to the county magistrate three times.
But at this moment, the woman who had led her in came to her and reached out to help her up.
The woman just said, "My lord has said it, let you relax, you can live in peace in the palace tonight." ”
Lin Yue smiled and thanked him.
The woman took Lin Yue out of the hall, came to the door of a hut on the right side of the hall, opened the door, and said to Lin Yue, "Tonight, you live with me." ”
Lin Yue was in the room where the woman was staying, found a wooden basin to soak her feet, and rested next to the woman.
Too sleepy, Lin Yue quickly fell asleep.
At night, Lin Yue really dreamed of Lu Jingshuo, and heard him mention the Linghua Bronze Mirror to another man wearing a silver fox mask......
Early the next morning.
Lin Yue got up at dawn and returned to Huaxi Village under the escort of the woman.
She didn't accept the clothes the woman gave her, nor did she accept the reward that the prefectural magistrate had given her. Because there are regulations in Yanzhou, those who actively report the plundering can get a bounty.
The county ordered Lord Zhang to give Lin Yue five taels of gold, but Lin Yue didn't ask for it.
Since the portrait of Liu Yunmo she painted was still the same, the county magistrate asked the portrait to be posted so that the villagers could report it so that the suspect could be arrested as soon as possible.
As soon as Lin Yue returned to Huaxi Village, he went to the rich man's house and took away a few shabby clothes. I went to the outskirts of Qinhe City early and picked up her brother and sister.
At the beginning, in order to repay the silver to Liu Yunmo, her mother Lu came to do work for the rich man Liu after burying her father. A distant relative of hers helped her mother pay back four taels of silver.
The remaining one or two taels of silver were offset by letting her mother go to the rich man's house to work for three months. As a result, Liu Yunmo did not admit the account after receiving the money, and wanted her to pay it back again.
This matter is not over with those people in the Liu family.
When the rich man Liu and his wife saw Lin Yue coming back, they quickly ordered Lin Yue to do the work, which was fierce.
The woman who sent Lin Yue back took out the fish talisman, and when the rich man and his wife saw it, their legs trembled with fright. In the village, they dared to play tricks, because the villagers did not dare to offend them.
But in front of the people sent by the county magistrate, they immediately became honest, and they didn't dare to come out in a frightened atmosphere.
The woman personally watched Lin Yue collect the burden, and after everything was cleaned up, she sent Lin Yue to her relative's house. Before Lin Yue got out of the carriage, the woman whispered:
“…… If you don't feel too crowded, you can take your younger siblings to live with me. Normally, I only go back at night......"
