The four suddenly exploded the pot.

"Ning? Is it really Ningzi? ”

"yes......"

"Which Ning?" Illiterate people have repeatedly confirmed it, for fear that they have thought of something wrong.

When they heard this, they looked at each other, but no one answered.

Which Ning?

Who would dare to answer this question that is tantamount to suicide......

The atmosphere was shaky and subtle.

And the steward of the Zhuangzi of the Na Ning family has weak legs and feet, and he is almost unstable!

What is said to be a good alchemist, who has no skills at all?

The master is so careless, he actually pitted himself!

What the? The great master deliberately targeted the master?

How is this possible, even if he borrows a hundred dares from a great master, he may not dare!

In the past, the master secretly explained some things to the great master, and even if the great master could not be called obedient, he never dared to blatantly refuse the master.

So, is there really a ghost in the dark to guide you?

The servant looked at the river again, and his eyes flashed at the sight of his many corpses, and he was already sweating profusely, and his hands and feet were cold.

At this time, he couldn't spare any extra thoughts to speculate on anything carefully, so he immediately pulled up his legs and ran-

It's time for the sky to fall!

But as soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, and had not gone far, he suddenly tripped over a dead log and fell to the ground, and the branches of the tree scraped his robe, so that he could not stand up for a while, and in a hurry, he felt that a hand was holding him deadly.

"Ghost ...... There really are ghosts! ”

The servant struggled to get up, but fell to the ground again because his feet were weak.

He caught a glimpse of the scarlet in the river that had not dissipated, and he completely lost his mind.

"No, don't kill me!"

His voice was sharp and terrified.

He only felt thrilled when he threw the corpse, and even some women were sent to save his breath, and he also took the opportunity to do bad things, but after that, he did not have the slightest fear.

But what he saw tonight had already broken his original cognition, and under such circumstances, he couldn't help but think about it carefully.

His strangeness caught the attention of the others.

"What's wrong with him?"

Someone approached with a lamp, saw the other party's face clearly, frowned and said loudly: "I know him!" He is the steward of the Ning family in the nearby Zhuangzi! ”

He was a woodcutter, and he was severely scolded by this person for chopping wood behind the Ning family Zhuangzi, and threatened to break his legs, and said that no outsiders were allowed to approach within a radius of ten miles from Zhuangzi.

The Ning family has always been rampant, and the people nearby dare not speak out.

"It's actually the steward of the Ning family's Zhuangzi......"

Many people subconsciously looked at the faintly lit Zhuangzi across the river, and then at the back of the man struggling to get up and fleeing in a hurry.

"Isn't it a thief?" Someone whispered speculation.

"Shhhh Don't tell the truth—"

"What are you talking about! Let's go home soon......"

Everyone didn't dare to talk about it in public, but it was not difficult to guess what they thought in their hearts.

In the dark, the cotton, who had been keeping an eye on the crowd, quietly left here at this time.

Ji Xiao has also left with the monks.

No matter how the couple cried and asked, he didn't say much, just recited Amitabha Buddha and made a compassionate look.

"Let's go to the government office and find Master Cheng!" The woman wiped her tears with a determined expression.

The man stood still, hesitating.

The woman gritted her teeth and pushed him hard.

"If you don't dare to go, I'll go by myself! I just fought for this life, and I also want to get justice for my daughter! ”

The woman ran away without hesitation.

Many people, who were half sympathetic and half wanted to see the excitement, also followed.

Although the night was getting thicker, the city was not at all calm as before, and the news spread far and wide, setting off layers of uproar everywhere.

Especially the families of powerful officials and eunuchs, almost everyone knows about it at this time - the great master is doing things outside the city, and he wanted to settle the matter, but who expected that the Ning family was accidentally thrown out!

That's the Ning family!

And when I think of the scandal that just came out of Ningtong during the day, I can't help but let people explore at a more subtle level.

Some people have even whispered that Ning Tong will be punished by Heaven if he does too many things that lack morality.

At the same moment, in front of the mansion, which was almost full of people, an old man came and asked to see Master Cheng, claiming that he knew something about the case.

When the official heard this, he reported the matter to Cheng Ran, and Cheng Ran immediately sent someone to take him to the study for questioning.

The old man saluted tremblingly, but it was obviously not due to old age, but excessive fear.

"What does the old man know, even if he makes it clear to the official, the official will keep you safe." Cheng Ran gave the other party a reassuring pill first.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows, that's what he wants.

He was worried not only about the revenge of the Ning family, but also about the mysterious young man today - the young man persuaded him to come to the yamen and tell what he knew, he saw that the man was good at talking and had a good temper, so he pretended to be confused and refused to agree, but who knew that the man directly threatened to kill his whole family!

He was frightened enough, and because he heard about the incident by the river, he hesitated again and again, and then he found this place slowly.

No matter what you do, let's save the lives of the whole family first.

The old man told what he knew.

He used to fish for a living, because of the recent drought, he could only occasionally go down to the river to catch some loaches to survive, who expected that three days ago, when he went down the river, he accidentally found a female corpse-

"You mean, after you found the female corpse, you went to the Ning family's Zhuangzi to ask? They told you that it was the maid in Zhuangzi who threw herself into the river and didn't want you to make a noise, so she gave you five taels of silver? ”

The old man nodded hurriedly.

"Your Excellency is wise, that's exactly what it means......"

Cheng Ran frowned when he heard this-wise fart, didn't you say it yourself?

He just repeated it, and he became wise, and now the world is so perfunctory...... I really don't know what to say.

"The corpse you found was tied to a boulder?" Cheng Ran asked.

The old man obviously hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"I have not seen a stone ......"

Cheng Ran asked again: "Since you found the corpse, why didn't you want to report to the official, but instead found the Ning family Zhuangzi?" ”

The old man obviously didn't expect Cheng Ran to have so many problems, and stammered for a while: "Is it because ...... The grass people felt that the corpse was a little familiar, and thought that it should be the subordinate of the Zhuangzi, so they looked for it. ”

Cheng Ran looked at him steadily.

"Old man, it's not a good thing to lie."

The old man's body stiffened, and he hurriedly shook his head: "The grass people don't ......."

Before he could say "don't dare", he suddenly heard the sound of the tea cup breaking.

"Smack!"

Your Excellency is furious!

The old man was suddenly extremely nervous, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he knocked his head on the ground again and again: "Adults spare their lives, the grass people will say everything, say everything!" ”

Cheng Ran lifted his eyelids.

It wouldn't have saved him trouble if he had done this earlier, and he didn't have to spend a tea cup.

Ahem, you have to let the main book be recorded in the public account.

The old man had already opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
