Chapter 55: The Truth of the Dust
When the sun rises in mid-air, the whole person is warm, and the breath of the Spring Festival is everywhere.
As soon as I entered Jintai, I saw that in a large open space in the center of the town, some men, women and children were building bonfires, and fireworks were set up early. Every house will hang a peach wood sign on the door, and the card is engraved with the portrait of Zhong Kui, in order to seek peace and stability and seek good fortune and avoid evil.
Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue never said a word along the way, he also changed into official clothes at the post station, and An Shimo and An Shimo took a group of arresters to bring the remaining three back to Jintai County.
Since Jiang Yue left Jintai, in the past ten days, Gong Siqi has never slept a day peacefully, when he learned that after Chinese New Year's Eve, the second prince will also go to the shore tomb, and before he arrives at the shore tomb, he will definitely pass through the Jintai, by then if this case has not been closed, the consequences are unimaginable.
A group of people didn't stop much on the road and ran directly to the county office, everyone was anxious Jintai's county commander Gong Siqi was even more anxious, and as soon as he heard that they were back, he hurriedly ascended to the court.
Jiang Yue and An Shimo escorted the three black-clothed people, Xiao Chuyun followed closely to the top of the lobby, and Ye Qian followed the crowd to stand outside the lobby, watching everything in the lobby with cold eyes.
Looking up at the unicorn leaping water diagram under the mirror hanging plaque above the lobby, the officials on both sides held water and fire sticks in black and red, and kept tapping the ground and shouting the word "mighty".
Gong Siqi wore an official uniform with light green patterns and a black gauze official hat, walked up with a serious face, and sat in front of the table in the lobby, invisibly adding a bit of seriousness and terrifying atmosphere to this room.
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
Syllable!
With a startling sound, Gong Siqi looked at the group of people kneeling up and down in the lobby, and asked with a solemn face: "Who is kneeling to report his name?" ”
Xiao Chuyun looked at the three black-clothed people on the side, and when he saw that they were silent, he lowered his head and said: "Xiao Chuyun, the daughter of the people, is the widow of Xiao Zhengqing, the only living mouth of the Xiao family, more than 50 innocent people in the family died in vain, and please ask the adults to call the shots and bring the villains to justice!" ”
"Your grievances, this official already knows!" When the words fell, he looked at the three people on the side and said, "You guys quickly report your name!" ”
"Yanfu!"
"Left Bear!"
"Ji Bang!"
The three men in black bowed their heads and replied.
At this time, Jiang Yue walked to the middle of the lobby from the side, bowed his head and replied: "There are a total of five people who killed more than 50 members of the Xiao family, namely Yanfu, Zuo Xiong, Jibang, Meng Ling, and Shi Cang. And Meng Ling and Shi Cang, on the way back to Jintai from Anling, accidentally escaped several pursuits, and finally obeyed the law, and the corpses were sent to Yizhuang! ”
Gong Siqi thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said sharply: "Say, how did the three of you kill the Xiao family, and where is the head of Xiao Zhengqing and Xiao Lao Shi's wife?" If you recruit from the truth, you can be lightly dismissed, if you dare to conceal half a sentence, you will not be spared! ”
At this time, the three people in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, looked left and right for a long time, and finally obeyed and said: "At this time, it is the Yuanzheng Dynasty Meeting, Your Majesty is benevolent and amnesty to the world, you can't kill us, otherwise you will be a criminal and bully the king!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Gong Siqi slapped the startled wood angrily, stood up angrily and pointed at him, wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, and after some thought, he finally held the table and said: "After Master Xiao is the founding hero of the country, General Xiao Teng, his ancestors have been treated and valued by the imperial court, and this is the only one, he should be subject to Ling Chi's trip!" ”
"Then our brothers have nothing to say!" Yanfu twisted his head to the side and said angrily.
Xiao Chuyun glanced up at Jiang Yue, there was a question in his heart that he couldn't solve, but he didn't want to ask him, so he looked at the Yanfu beside him and asked, "What do you dare to ask...... Yuan Zheng Dynasty Meeting? ”
Yan Fu glanced at Xiao Chuyun coldly, and then replied: "My emperor has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and at the beginning of the New Year, the amnesty decree at the Yuan Zheng Dynasty meeting is to amnesty the world, and the offender will not be blamed for the past, and those who commit minor crimes can be exempted from the crime and returned to their homeland, and those who commit serious crimes will be exempted from the death penalty!" My lord, am I right? ”
After hearing this, Gong Siqi was even more angry, and he was sitting on the chair with a serious face, raising his hand as he spoke: "If it is recruited from the truth, this official can be like a saint and ask the emperor to open the Internet!" ”
At this time, Yanfu glanced back at Ye Qian slightly, smiled at the corner of his mouth, smiled coldly, and said randomly: "We killed the Xiao family, before killing, Xiao Zhengqing and his wife had already been drunk by our unique secret immortals, and the fire was also set by us!" ”
"Immortal drunk?" Xiao Chuyun and Jiang Yue questioned almost at the same time.
Jiang Yue didn't expect that the immortal drunk was a drug, and the Boyue Sect took it seriously, thinking it was a legend, but he didn't expect it to become a fact.
"Yanfu, let me ask you, the messenger who delivered the letter in Jintai South City, the owner of the inn outside the city, and the shopkeeper, but you killed you?" Gong Siqi asked again.
"What do you think?" Yanfu said a little unruly.
After saying this, he was shocked, and with Gong Siqi's wave of his hand, the three of them were all taken down, and Ye Qian saw Xiao Chuyun when he looked back, the corners of his mouth smiled mysteriously, and he retreated with the crowd of onlookers.
At this time, Gong Siqi sat in place and held his forehead and pondered for a long time, sighed, and said in a low voice: "An Shimo, take the confession to them and draw them into custody, and close the case and send it to the Criminal Department!" ”
Xiao Chuyun slowly stood up from the ground at this time, walked to the table, and looked at the high-ranking county magistrate with some anger, she walked into the court with a glimmer of hope, but she didn't expect that in the end, it was really as Jiang Yue said.
"Adults are really worthy of the four words hanging in the mirror above their heads, so many lives have passed in such a vague way, adults are really clear!" Xiao Chuyun said with some sneering.
"Miss Xiao, don't be rude to adults!" Jiang Yue said on the side.
Gong Siqi slowly raised his head, gestured towards Jiang Yue, and then said with some embarrassment: "It's not that the official is confused, but this case can only be like this!" ”
Xiao Chuyun had a flame burning in his heart, and he suppressed the fire and said, "Why? Could it be that these more than 50 lives are really like mustard? ”
Gong Siqi looked at this fourteen-year-old girl, her eyes were red and her eyelids were swollen, obviously she had cried, in order to make her die, and for that part of her heart, she couldn't bear it, so she said slowly: "This official knows that the cause of death of the Xiao family is not so simple, but this matter can't be entangled!" After a pause, he replied: "Before the accident, the emperor had intended to recruit Master Xiao as the marshal to take charge of the three armies to fight against foreign enemies, but as soon as the official document arrived in my hands, such a thing happened. The girl is smart, but if she thinks about it carefully, if this case is investigated, it will not only affect the Boyue Sect, but also the entire imperial court. Now that the external troubles have not been eliminated, if there are internal worries, it will really be a big mess in the world! ”
After hearing this, Xiao Chuyun sneered: "It is worthy of being a scholar, and he is so high-sounding about greed for life and fear of death!" Hehe~ It's just that the officials protect each other, and the raccoon dog is just a traitor! ”
After saying that, Xiao Chuyun took two steps back, and then saluted and said, "Thank you, the people's daughter, for being the master!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chuyun immediately turned around and left, walked to the door of the yamen without looking back, and saw that Ye Qian was now waiting for her silently at the bottom of the steps, so he walked straight towards Ye Qian.
"I'll just say why are you so relieved that they came to confess, it turns out that they are upright and upright, you calculated that the emperor will give amnesty to the world!"
"Yes! I've known this for a long time! ”
Ye Qian was light and indifferent to all this, as if all of them were as cheap to him as something outside his body.
Xiao Chuyun said coldly to Ye Qian: "You."
Promise me that you will give me their lives! When did you keep your promise, and when will I give you the treasure! ”
"Today, when I see the treasures, they will not live!"
"What you say, three points true and seven points false, is really unconvincing. Like you, when did I see the three of them dead, and when did I tell you the secret of the treasure! ”
Ye Qian shook his head slightly, but he hooked the corners of his mouth with some amusement, put his hands behind his back, and then said: "Before dark, they will die, and they will not live until tomorrow!" ”
"What?" Xiao Chuyun looked at him with some puzzlement.
"Gong Siqi wants to settle the case hastily, the only way is to shut them up, they have said enough in court just now, and the people have seen the results that Gong Siqi wants to tell them, even if Gong Siqi doesn't do it, the people of the second prince will definitely not let them live until tomorrow!" Looking at Xiao Chuyun's somewhat incredulous eyes, he said again: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow the second prince will be here, no one in the court wants to mention the case of the Xiao family, involving the royal dragon vein, they are bound to die!" ”
"Humph! Of course, it's nothing to die a few people, you, the boss behind the scenes, take advantage of the fisherman, it's really good! Xiao Chuyun said in a very atmospheric manner.
Xiao Chuyun and Ye Qian sat in the same carriage, and gradually drove away under Jiang Yue's gaze, and also passed by Doctor Luo and Mrs. Luo, and went straight to the Xiao Mansion in Nancheng, which had been burned to ruins.
This time, she didn't have the confidence, although she knew that in addition to the Pisces jade pendant, there was also a copy of the "Golden Cicada Sutra" guarded by the Xiao Mansion, but back then she just jumped down with the empty box.
And the "Golden Cicada Sutra" only had two ends, either it was put in another safe place by Xiao Zhengqing, or it was turned into ashes with the fire of Xiao Mansion.
The carriage stopped at the door of the Xiao Mansion, looking at the Xiao Mansion with only broken walls left, Xiao Chuyun couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and the self-blame in his heart was accumulating every minute and every second.
promised Xiao Chuyun to help her clear her grievances, but in exchange for only four words.
Ye Qian can be said to have used a trick of illusion to make his little minions turn themselves in with hope, probably hoping to break out of prison one day. Unexpectedly, in the end, everyone wanted them to die.
Xiao Chuyun slowly walked up the steps, looked at the black and brittle broken wood that fell to the ground, and suddenly felt a slap in his heart, and said: "Ye Qian, about the dragon vein, in addition to those words, there is also a scripture book, which says how to find the dragon vein!" After a pause, he replied: "But after a long time, I can't remember exactly what it was, and besides, there was a fire here, and I don't know where the scriptures will be!" ”
Ye Qian looked at the dilapidated Xiao Mansion, raised his feet and walked in slowly, and said as he went: "If Miss Xiao doesn't want to know where the heads of her parents are, you can go around in circles with me, but I don't know what the scene will be like when the second elder of the Xiao family is buried in a few days!" ”
After Xiao Chuyun heard this, her anger suddenly soared, but she was helpless, she didn't even know where this scripture was, how could she tell him?
So, standing in place, he said in a very atmospheric voice: "Okay! I'm telling you! 2k reading network
