The Kwai man glanced at Jia Yongchun, who had just started, and his light yellow eyebrows twisted slightly, but he finally didn't make a sound.

When he behaved like this, Jia Yongchun felt more and more that he had a ghost in his heart and refused to express his position, so he became even more energetic, almost pointing at his nose and snorting coldly: "Why don't you kid speak?" Why, now I'm scared? Now that all the officials are here, tell me frankly, did you take the woman in the house and send it back? ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and his body moved forward more and more, becoming more and more excited: "Heh, I said why were you so happy when you rented a house with me!" After only leading you around the house for a short time, you made a decision, and it turned out that you clearly had bad intentions! If it weren't for the official who was doing things well and sent someone to arrest you today, this black pot would be counted on Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu was almost ruined by you yellow-haired boy in this life! ”

As he spoke, he rounded his arm and was about to step forward to fight: "I can't wait to slap you to death!" ”

The little soldier on the side saw that Jia Yongchun was about to pounce, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "What are you doing, you calm down!" The merits and demerits of the little general and the Ninth Highness are in charge, you don't have to act privately and insult the prestige of the official! ”

Jia Yongchun withdrew his hand hatefully, and squinted at the man of Kwai Kingdom. However, in the blink of an eye, he suddenly knelt down in front of Rong Xiu and Baili Yesu, who were sitting on the main seat, and instantly became sad.

"Official, you have to be the master of the grass people! Our Jia family has been good citizens for generations, and I, Jia Yongchun, have never done anything that hurts nature and reason! The grass people live in the bagpipe abyss and grow up in the bagpipe abyss, and even the mountains and rivers of the bagpipe abyss seem to have feelings, not to mention the villagers? There were more than forty captive women in the sack, the youngest of whom was only eleven years old, and no matter how poor the grass people were, they could not do such a thing as a beast! ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the man from Aoi Country beside him, and then said: "On the contrary, this person keeps saying that he is a merchant of Aoi Kingdom, but who can know his actual identity?" This man may have done a lot of hurtful things behind his back! Maybe it's a spy sent by Aoi Country! The two officials, don't be deceived by him! ”

Hearing his words, Rong Xiu frowned, his eyes flashed on the Kwai people on the side, and his voice suddenly sank: "The biggest suspect now is you, how do you explain it?" ”

The man from Kwai Kingdom raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a rebellious expression and sneering: "Heh, I didn't do this anyway!" If you just beat me to death, I won't admit it! Although our Kwai Kingdom was an old enemy of your Baili Country in the past, we have begun friendly exchanges in recent years! If you have to wronged me like this, maybe you will cause trouble for our two countries! ”

As soon as the words fell, Jia Yongchun on the side immediately glared: "Official, don't listen to his nonsense!" Now that everything is in front of us, isn't it already obvious who did it? He must have done this, and in my opinion, eight times out of ten. Nine was instructed to do so by their king! ”

The man from Kwai Country narrowed his eyes coldly, and the danger fell on Jia Yongchun. After a while, he hooked his lips, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Heh, if this thing is really done by our Kwai Kingdom, why do you want to send back the abducted woman in its original form?" And, let you catch the handle? We can completely bring the captive woman back to Kwai Country or solve it directly, even if we send it back, we can also hire a hundred miles of people to avoid revealing their identity! ”

"And", he suddenly stood up from the ground, his eyes fell on the iron chain that tightly bound her wrists, his cold eyes lifted, and then he pulled both hands, and the iron chain that originally imprisoned her wrist was actually broken by him at once!

As soon as this move came out, the entire front hall became nervous!

The chains can be broken, what a lot of strength it takes! Everyone looked at him, and suddenly the hostility was even greater, and they were more defensive!

Even Baili Ye Su sat up straight, and the young general at the door was even more eager to try, just waiting for an order to pounce on him and capture him!

Compared to these people, Rong Xiu was extremely calm, his expression did not even change at all, he crossed his hands on his knees like that, and looked at the Kwai people in front of him peacefully.

Seeing that almost everyone's eyes in the hall fell on him, the people of the Aoi Kingdom suddenly sneered, and then raised their hands high!

Just when everyone was on guard, he just shook the broken iron chain on his hand: "I just want to tell you that I have learned a lot of kung fu since I was a child!" None of you can stop me if I want to! And now I am honestly staying with you to solve your questions, one is to respect you, and the other is to have a clear conscience! ”

"So", he lowered his hand and looked aggressively: "No one should try to make me carry the black cauldron, otherwise, I may die ugly!" ”

There was not a single dirty word in just a few words, but everyone present could hear the unhappiness in his heart.

Seeing that Rong Xiu and Baili Yesu didn't speak, Jia Yongchun suddenly moved his feet uneasily: "Official, don't you believe what he said?" Who else can touch the house during this time and carry so many people in silently? With such an obvious fact, what else do you have to consider! ”

Rong Xiu exhaled lightly, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, seemingly a little irritable.

At this moment, the young general outside the door announced: "Your Highness the Nine, the little general, the envoy of the Kwai Kingdom outside asks to see you!" ”

Baili Ye Su frowned: "Why is the envoy of the Kwai Kingdom here?" ”

Rong Xiu's expression was a little impatient: "In recent years, the number of people in Kwai Country who have come and gone through the Bagpipe Yuan trade has increased, and the number of people who have intermarried with each other has also increased. When he came this time, he must have heard the news that we had arrested the people of Aoi and asked us for an explanation! ”

Originally, it was a case of abducting women, but now that the envoy of Aoi Kingdom is here, it has risen to the position of the country, and Baili Ye Su is secretly a little worried.

But in any case, since people ask to see them, there is no reason to refuse them. Even knowing what might happen next, you still have to respond.

Baili Yesu waved his hand to the young general at the door: "Please come in!" ”

After a while, the young general came back again, followed by a middle-aged man in a saffron robe, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, slightly revealing some light yellow hair, his skin was slightly brighter than the man in the front hall, but it still looked dark compared to the people of the Baili Dynasty.

As soon as the envoy of the Kui Kingdom stepped into the front hall with his feet, he saluted Baili Ye Su and Rong Xiu and others, and after greeting him, he glanced at the fellow villagers on the side, and then he said the right thing: "Xia Guan heard that His Royal Highness the Ninth and General Rong cracked the case of the disappearance of dozens of women a few months ago yesterday, and arrested a suspect this morning, and this person is the citizen of my Kui Kingdom!" In order to interrogate fairly, Xia Guan felt that it was more appropriate to have officials from the two countries here! ”

Baili Yesu listened and bowed his head: "This matter involves the relationship between Baili and Kwai Kingdom, and it should be so." The envoy just won't come, and we're just about to send someone to invite you. ”

Rong Xiu on the side also nodded: "Exactly, now that the people on both sides are here, let's start interrogating!" ”

Saying that, Rong Xiu's whole person was sitting in a precarious position, and his already serious face became more and more majestic: "This little brother, now that the officials of your country are here, our interrogation is not bullying you!" Let's talk about it in detail, what is your surname, where do you live, when did you come to bagpipes this time, how many days have you been here, what have you done, and who have you met during this period? ”

The man of Kwai Kingdom raised his chin and looked even more arrogant: "Are you going to suspect me to the end?" I've already said that I didn't do this, you just ask for flowers, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

Rong Xiu glanced at him lightly, picked up the tea cup in Yan Xiaoyi's hand, took it and took two sips. That's it, and it was put back into her hands very naturally.

Only then did he speak lightly: "If you don't say it, it proves that you have no alibi." And you're the most suspicious person, so we'll have to lock you up! Although you are from the Kwai Kingdom, but now in my Baili Dynasty, you should act according to the rules of my Baili Dynasty. It stands to reason that the abduction of women will be held in prison for at least three years, and now a total of more than 40 women have been abducted, if convicted, I am afraid that you will spend the rest of your life in prison! ”

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the envoy on the side: "By the way, what should be the crime of kidnapping women in your country?" ”

I don't know if his tone was too cold, or his eyes were too strong, the envoy suddenly felt a cold sweat on his body, and after thinking for a long time, he said with some hesitation: "The new emperor ascended the throne and completely rectified the law to deter the world. The crime of abducting women in our Kwai country is slightly heavier than that of Baili Country! ”

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows, and looked at the envoy opposite for a long time: "Oh? A little heavier, that's more? ”

The envoy raised his cuffs and wiped the cold sweat on his head, glanced at the "fellow villager" who was holding his neck on the side, and said with difficulty: "The new emperor has clouds, and all the lives of the world are conceived by women who are pregnant in October, so disrespect for women is regarded as disrespect for the female ancestors in the family, such as the captive of women, the rod is forty and the rod is forty ......."

Rong Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyes when he saw him spitting and spitting.

The envoy intuitively shot a cold gaze at him, and couldn't help but shrink down, and then said: "Forty rods, handed over to the Daqing Gate, on the fifth and fifteenth of the first month of each month, the whipping will be served!" ”

Daqingmen is a famous iron prison in Kwai Country, which detains many serious offenders in Kwai Country, and the guards are known for their majesty and ruthlessness, so it can be said that once you enter, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death!

Yan Xiaowei keenly noticed that when the envoy mentioned the "Great Qing Gate", the man from the Kwai Kingdom looked obvious, and his hands unconsciously grabbed the cuffs.

Presumably intimidated by the prestige of the "Great Qing Gate"!

Thinking of this, for some reason, she also felt a little panicked in her heart, and hurriedly raised the tea cup in her hand and took a sip.

As soon as he put down the teacup, he found that Rong Xiu had turned his face away and looked at her with deep eyes.

Yan Xiaoyu didn't know why, and raised her eyebrows. Rong Xiu suddenly reached out and clenched his fist, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly, then turned his face again, as if nothing had happened.

At that time, the envoy of the Kui Kingdom was sitting on a chair like pins and needles, he moved his buttocks twice uneasily, his body scurried forward, and said earnestly to the "fellow villagers" on the side: "Since things have developed to this extent, you can talk about it!" Otherwise, you won't say anything, and the official won't be able to speak for you! ”

Jia Yongchun on the side suddenly sneered: "Heh, can't you see it?" Although he tried his best to deny it, he was powerless to refute the facts! Those women must have been taken captive and sent back by him, oh, maybe there are accomplices! He was afraid that if he said it, the crime was confirmed, so he didn't dare to squeak! ”

When the man from Kwai Kingdom heard this, he suddenly turned his face and stabbed Jia Yongchun like a knife: "Shut your stinky mouth!" I said, I didn't do those things at all, you are clearly planting! ”

Seeing that he was emotional, the envoy couldn't help but interject: "This official also thinks that it is impossible for the people of my dignified Kwai Kingdom to do these things that hurt heaven and reason, but if you don't explain it clearly, who can know?" When the time comes, you will be wrongfully imprisoned, and you will not only be the only one who will suffer, I am afraid that in this Kyushu, the people of Kui Kingdom will say that I am a rat who does some things like stealing chickens and dogs! Your parents and relatives will be poked in the backbone for a lifetime! ”

The face of the man from Kwai Kingdom changed slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he finally spoke: "My name is Lu Chunyang, I am twenty-six years old this year, and I am from Dongling, Kwai Kingdom. Since the age of thirteen, I have been in the grain and oil business with the neighborhood, and when my father got older, I was in charge of the family business. In recent years, Kwai has made good friends with Baili Country, and has also added bagpipe yuan as a port. Because the bagpipes are located on the coast, and the surrounding saline-alkali land is not conducive to grain growth, I saw a business opportunity and began to do grain and oil business between the two countries. ”

As he spoke, he picked the corners of his lips, and a faint line appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Although it needs to be transported by ship, the price is much cheaper than that of Baili people themselves from the mainland, so the business is good." Because the business is doing well, I think it is time-consuming and laborious to go back and forth, so it is better to hire a big ship to transport more at one time, find a house to make a warehouse, and sell it little by little! In this way, you don't have to go back and forth. ”

"Who wants", when he said this, his voice changed: "My father suddenly suffered a stroke and needed someone to take care of him, so I had to put down my business." Therefore, after I rented this house, there was no grain and oil in the warehouse for nearly a month! So, I haven't even been to the vicinity of this house. Therefore, I really don't know who and how these women were transported in! ”

Speaking of this, Yan Xiaoyan couldn't help frowning and asked the question in her heart: "You said that your father had a stroke, what are the specific symptoms?" ”

Lu Chunyang didn't seem to expect Yan Xiaowei to ask this, and was obviously stunned for a moment, then frowned and replied: "I fainted suddenly, and when I woke up, my mouth was crooked, my eyes were slanted, and I couldn't speak well, and I kept drooling." ”

The basic symptoms are all right, Yan Xiaowei nodded slightly, and asked again: "Since your father is sick and you don't even have the energy to do business, why don't you stay in Kwai Country to take care of your father, but instead appear in the bagpipe abyss?" This doesn't seem to match what you said before! ”

When this question was raised, Rong Xiu and Baili Ye Su's eyes were focused on Lu Chunyang.

He pursed the corners of his lips, and his brows suddenly covered with a layer of sadness: "My father's illness is turbulent, and the doctor said that if you want to return to the past, you need to take pine hair wine." ”

"However", his voice changed: "Pine hair grows mostly on high mountains, and we have many islands in Kwai Country and few high mountains." If you want to pine hair, you have to come to Baili Country to look for it. That's why I came to Bagpipe Alley five days ago, intending to look for Pine Hair! ”

Rong Xiu bowed slightly: "Then have you found it?" ”

Lu Chunyang twisted his eyebrows: "The guy at a medicinal herb shop on West Street said that if I want it, he can help me get it." It's just that pine hair usually grows in the high mountains of the interior, and I need to wait for a few days if I want a lot of it. Therefore, I have been staying in the inn these days waiting for news from him. ”

Seeing that everyone present frowned, he continued: "If you go to the Wang Ji Medicinal Herb Shop on West Street and ask, they will help me testify!" ”

Rong Xiu raised his eyes slightly: "Even if what you said is true, then what have you done all these days waiting for news from the pharmacy guys?" ”

Lu Chunyang pursed the corners of his lips, looking stubborn: "I'm afraid that I will walk around at will, that guy won't find me when he comes, so he hasn't gone anywhere, and has been staying in the inn room!" ”

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Alone?" ”

Lu Chunyang nodded: "Yes, alone!" ”

Rong Xiu tapped his finger twice on the back of the chair: "Since you are alone, it means that no one can prove that you have been staying in the inn?" "Then there's a good chance he's doing something suspicious behind his back!

Lu Chunyang was stunned for a moment and bit his lip.

Rong Xiu's cold eyes swept and asked in a deep voice: "Is it?" ”

Lu Chunyang's lips were turned white from the bitten teeth, and he was silent for a long time before finally nodding: "Yes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jia Yongchun, who was listening carefully to all this, suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Official, you heard it!" No one can prove whether he really stayed at the inn these days! I see, he must have deliberately covered people's eyes and ears, and then colluded with his accomplices to move those women into my house and try to frame me! Haha, now the truth is revealed! ”

There were no signs of prying around the warehouse, apparently by acquaintances, so the two people in possession of the keys were the most suspicious.

Seeing that Rong Xiu's face was expressionless, but his body was getting colder and colder, the envoy of the Kwai Kingdom spoke anxiously: "I said Lu Chunyang, you stay in the inn, can't the guys at the inn testify for you?" You've been in the inn for so many days and haven't been out, so you have to eat! Isn't it proof that you've been there? ”

Lu Chunyang half-bowed his head, and shook his head for a while: "I can't prove it, I came from Kwai Country this time, and I brought a thousand taels of silver tickets with me, but the guy at the pharmacy said that pine hair is very expensive, and it takes a thousand taels of silver." Therefore, I don't have any extra money on me, and I've been eating dry food in the inn for the past few days, and I haven't used my buddies to deliver food at all! ”
