Chapter Ninety-Six: The Trial

Along the way, Lin's hands and feet were trembling, and she was excited and scared.

I was excited that I would soon be able to see her son in her arms, and the separation of more than ten days was as long as a lifetime for her. If she couldn't find Wang Hu, she couldn't imagine how she would spend the rest of her life.

What I'm afraid of is whether that Hanako will run away with Wang Hu in advance if she hears the news, or hide Wang Hu. And what will they do if he doesn't open the door after he goes?

Wang Hu is in the hands of Huazi, and they don't dare to touch it hard no matter what.

Thinking of this, the Lin family, who had always been weak, actually ran. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he surpassed Wang Dayi and ran to the front of the team.

Actually, the Lin family didn't have to worry at all, because someone had already done it for them. At this moment, hundreds of beggars in Qingshan County, either agitated or indignant or mechanically all distributed, they guarded all the sides of the house where Kang Bran was,

In addition, at every exit of this street stood their people, cheering up and polishing their eyes at the moment.

They swore that they would never let Kang Bran escape again.

Hurry up, when Yin Ping and a few people ran all the way to the stinky bridge, they found beggars standing at various street corners. Regardless of age, they just guard the exit like that.

Seeing that the Lin family and Wang Dayi were a little puzzled, Yin Ping said: "Uncle, aunt, these are our people, and they have guarded every exit nearby. Don't worry, this time, he will definitely not be able to escape. ”

Hearing this, Wang Dayi and his heart warmed.

They have no relatives with these beggars, and they usually don't even look at them when they see them, but they help without regrets. And the young man before, if he hadn't helped come up with the idea of posting a notice, it is estimated that he would not have been able to stop the flower from escaping.

Although they don't know each other, they have their own true feelings in the world. In this world, there are still more good people. This made the Lin couple, who had many complaints about the world because Wang Hu was abducted, moved at this moment.

Finally outside the room, Lin shivered nervously. How to rescue Wang Hu really needs to be planned. In case the grass startles the snake and angers the flower, it will be troublesome to take Wang Hu as a hostage.

At this moment, the people from the government have not yet arrived, but Wang Dayi is unwilling to continue waiting for them to come. If Wang Hu doesn't come out for a moment, it means that he is more dangerous. And the people in the government are like that.

It is better to count on them than on this group of beggars.

Thinking of this, Lin was in a hurry and suddenly read the poem. This poem is the first poem that Wang Hu learned after attending private school.

"Daylilies give birth to the steps of the hall, and the wanderer travels to the end of the world. In front of the mother's house, there are no daylily flowers. Although Lin has never studied, her voice is clear, unhurried, and her words are clear. Although it was a silent night, the sound was not abrupt.

Some people are already asleep, and those who are not asleep will think that it is just someone who is reciting poetry, which is better than playing louder.

Wang Hu hadn't slept because he was waiting for someone to come and rescue him. When Lin's voice sounded for the first time, he heard it, but he felt a little unbelieving, could it be an illusion.

This is the first poem he learned in a private school.

At that time, he learned it himself and read it to Lin. This poem is very simple, and Lin can learn it almost immediately.

After listening to the meaning of the poem, Lin hugged himself a little contradictory and said: "My mother hopes that you will be able to go to high school in the future, become a big official, and glorify the lintel, but she is reluctant to let you go away." ”

Wang Hu still remembers his answer at the time: "Mother, I won't leave home." Even if I go to another country in the future, I will take my mother and father over to live together. ”

When Lin read it for the second and third times, Wang Hu was finally sure that his father and mother had come to save him. After thinking about it, Wang Hu said to Kang Yan: "Uncle, I want to pee." ”

Kang Yan was sleeping soundly, and he dreamed that he was counting the silver. was suddenly woken up by Wang Hu, very unhappy, but helpless, he couldn't urinate on the bed.

So he impatiently let go of his hand and said, "Go ahead, come back quickly when you pee." "A few times ago, Wang Hu also said that he wanted to pee, but Kang Yan didn't let him, he always felt that Wang Hu wanted to take the opportunity to escape. As a result, Wang Hu urinated directly on the bed, so angry that he had to get up to change the quilt.

After a few times, as soon as Wang Hu said that he wanted to pee, he would not stop him.

After getting out of bed, Wang Hu pretended to go to the place where the night pot was placed, and saw that Kang Yan was still with his eyes closed, so he quietly walked to the door, ready to open the tethered door.

To say that this Kang Bran is not stupid, and quite experienced.

Before going to bed, he not only tethered the door, but also placed a string of bells in the crack of the door. Even if Wang Hu bolted the door, the bell would inevitably ring as soon as the door was opened. He tied the bell to the door with a rope and tied it in a dead knot.

Wang Hu only felt that he was going to faint because he was so nervous that his heart kept pounding. Listening to Lin repeating the song "The Wanderer's Yin" over and over again outside the house, Wang Hu couldn't wait to immediately rush out and fall into Lin's arms.

Fortunately, Kang Bran was so sleepy that Wang Hu didn't find it when he untied the door bolt. Now, just open the door and rush out.

Thinking that his father and mother were outside, Wang Hu gritted his teeth and opened the door, ran out as fast as he could, shouting as he ran: "Dad, mother, come and save me, come and save me, I'm here ......"

At the moment when Wang Hu opened the door, the bell rang loudly, and Kang Yan woke up as soon as possible. If there was any sound in this world that could wake him up in the first place, it was the sound of bells.

This has been his habit for a long time.

Then, when he heard Wang Hu shouting for help, he was even more angry and drowsy, so he immediately rushed out.

I thought to myself, when I get him back, he will feel better. I dare to love this kid for so long, but I have been lying to myself, which is really bearable.

As soon as Wang Hu shouted, Wang Dayi and Yin Ping both heard Wang Hu's cry for help, although Lin was reciting poems, but as soon as Wang Hu's cry for help came out, she immediately heard it.

The mother-son connection is by no means nonsense, and the Lin family caught Wang Hu's voice at once in a slightly noisy voice.

"Quick, my son is calling us."

After speaking, Lin was the first to rush to the front. Wang Dayi quickly followed with a flat pole, followed by Yin Ping and a few beggars who seemed to have some strength.

This courtyard is two-in, so after Wang Hu ran out of the house, he quickly came to the gate. Unfortunately, the gate is still tethered.

He was small and not tall, so he couldn't reach the door at all, so he was so anxious that he shouted while banging on the door, "Dad, mother, come and save me, quickly." ”

He began to cry as he spoke.

Lin was the first to rush to the door, and after calling "Huzi", he began to comfort Wang Hu. Wang Dayi thought for a while and said to Wang Hu: "Son, get out of the way, I'm going to smash this door." ”

When Kang Yan rushed into the courtyard, he saw Wang Hu squatting at the gate and trembled, and he felt a little proud. What if he opened the door, he couldn't get out of this door today.

Thinking of this, he slowed down and walked over slowly.

Who knows, just after walking a few steps, I heard the door crashing, and I was stunned for a moment, the secret passage is not good, there must be someone outside the door who wants to come in to save people. Just as he was about to step forward and grab Wang Hu as a hostage, just in case, the door actually collapsed.

Outside the door stood a group of beggars in addition to a man with a flat pole and a half-grown man with a wooden stick.

After thinking about it and taking two steps back, Kang Yan pulled his legs and retreated into the room, quickly closing the door. He's always kept the silver ticket close to him, and he doesn't have any luggage, so all he needs to do now is to run away quickly.

Fortunately, there was a back door in this room, and he had already observed it.

As a result, as soon as he opened the back door, he was swarmed by a group of beggars, squeezed open the door, and pressed him to the ground. Then a lean little beggar came again, beckoned to his companion, and tied him with a rope.

After the door fell, Lin was the first to rush in and hugged Wang Hu, who was trembling by the door, in his arms.

She first nervously checked Wang Hu's whole body, and then ripped open Wang Hu's sleeves and trouser legs to take a closer look, and saw that there were no major scars except for a few red marks on her hands, so she completely relieved her heart and hugged Wang Hu, "My son, my mother is sorry for you" and cried.

She had heard that some Hanako were the most immoral, and after abducting the children, they would cut their tendons and tendons, break their legs, and even gouge out their eyes, and then force them to go out to beg.

Seeing that Lin was crying, smelling the familiar smell of Lin, Wang Hu also cried loudly. Wang Dayi stood aside, touched Wang Hu's head, and cried.

There was the little beggar who remembered what happened to him, and he also cried at this moment.

After crying for a while, several officials arrived. The beggars automatically made way for them to go in and arrest them.

None of them noticed that Yin Ping and Wang Dayi had already taken the first step and walked into the room.

At this moment, Kang Yan sat on the ground, his hands tied to the table post behind him by the monkey, with a look of frustration and unwillingness.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he had been out day and night these days, and he had not revealed his whereabouts, and the only loophole was that the child was too obedient.

Now that I think about it, I was deceived by a child.

Thinking of this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he thought in his heart that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely kill Wang Hu alive in order to relieve his hatred.

As soon as Wang Dayi entered the door, he met Kang Yan's gaze.

Thinking of all the hardships and sufferings during this time, Wang Dayi suddenly picked up the flat shoulder and smashed it heavily on Kang Yan's leg. Once, twice, countless times, Kang Bran's screams seemed so terrible in this silent night.

This startled the official who was questioning Wang Hu and the Lin family outside the door, and immediately rushed in with a knife.

I saw Kang Bran lying on the ground, his legs kept shaking, and when he looked closely, there was some misalignment, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, thinking that the leg was useless.

Just as he was about to speak, Yin Ping handed over a tael of silver without a trace, and whispered in his ear: "Poor brother, it's convenient." This flower is really hateful, we are just angry, and we will never kill him. ”

The official thought about it, and it was the same reason.

When the relatives of other people's children came, it was reasonable to beat and scold a few words, so they should just not see it and turn their heads not to look at Kang Bran.

Kang Yan had seen too many cowering parents, and when he saw Wang Dayi coming in with a group of beggars, he didn't pay much attention to it, at most he just beat and scolded him a few words. How did you know that this Wang Dayi was so ruthless, and he didn't say anything, and when he came up, he was beaten badly, and it seemed that it was going to cost him.

When he saw the officials come in, he was overjoyed, and the officials were going to put him in prison. When the time comes, he won't admit it, he just said that he picked up the child on the street, helped raise it, and spent a few dozen taels of silver, and it would be fine.

Unexpectedly, this official turned a blind eye and let Wang Dayi continue to smash his legs. There was a feeling of despair in his heart, so he pretended to faint.

Seeing that Kang Yan had fainted, Wang Dayi's anger seemed to be enough, so the official came over and called a companion in, and the two escorted Kang Yan back to his life.

For a time, the news that "a Hanako who had committed many crimes in Qingshan County was arrested and imprisoned in Yamen" spread far and wide, and quickly spread to all the towns and villages near Qingshan County. Naturally, the family who had lost their child rushed to the scene and demanded that the yamen interrogate the prisoner quickly, expecting to hear the whereabouts of their child.

Of course, there are more curious people, and they also want to see what this flower looks like, whether it has three heads and six arms, otherwise how can it be successful every time.

For a while, the county government was surrounded by water, and Bai Zhixian was even more worried, and his beard was about to be wiped out by himself. Originally, his term of office had come this year, and the assessment results were good. I don't know who I have offended, so I even went up to him and said that he was "forming a party for personal gain, not thinking of making progress, and having no political achievements" in the local area.

The capital immediately sent someone down to verify.

In addition to not wanting to make progress and having no way to measure it objectively, the assessment team unanimously felt that Bai Zhixian did not have any political achievements during his tenure, and even had a tendency to form a party for personal gain, not only did not meet the conditions for promotion, but was almost demoted.

At the critical moment, the Gu family's connections and money played a huge role as always. Bai Zhi County has not been degraded, and the above meaning says "not to be sent for the time being, in order to see the after-effects".

After asking the meaning clearly, although frustrated, it is better than degrading.

Anyway, as long as you work hard in the next term and make some achievements, it is still very possible to climb up.

Therefore, Kang Bran was very unlucky, and the entire Qingshan County knew that Bai Zhi County had been in a bad mood recently. He was good, and just ran into it, in a way that angered the people.

On the second day after Kang Yan was arrested, Chen Jixing took Ye to inspect the construction site of the new house, Ye Feng was pruning potted plants, and saw Chen Qianshan panting and running to the door, without speaking, pulling Ye Feng and running out.

Ye Feng finally grabbed him, and Chen Qianshan said: "Quick, follow me to the county office, the yamen caught a flower last night, and it will be publicly interrogated in the afternoon." ”

When Ye Feng heard this, he immediately panicked, indeed, this is a big deal.

If this Hanako knew the whereabouts of Qianyu, wouldn't she be able to find people home? Immediately, Ye Feng became depressed again, this matter had to be done by Chen Jixing and the Ye family, because he didn't know those details at all.

Even if Ye Shi said it many times, he was not the party in the end, and it was not convincing. However, Ye has a big belly now, and if he gets excited after he goes, it will not be good if something happens.

But if the Ye family was left aside and Chen Jixing went alone, Ye Feng was afraid that he would be speechless at the critical moment, and if the Ye family knew, he might be even more anxious.

After thinking about it, he said to Chen Qianshan: "You go and prepare the ox cart and prepare two more mats." You also know that my sister is now a month old and can't stand the bumps. I'm going to call someone. ”

Chen Qianshan hurriedly rushed out again, preparing the ox cart to go. His new house has been built, and he is basically buying furniture these days. Today, as soon as he arrived in the county, he heard such exciting news, so he immediately rushed back to inform Ye Feng's family.

Ye Shi covered his stomach, and Chen Jixing followed aside, as if discussing something. Looking at the new house that was beginning to take shape, both of them were a little happy.

Seeing this, Ye Feng had to say cautiously: "Sister, you must be steady, don't get excited, I want to tell you something." You guys come with me now, and we'll go to the county together. Qianshan has prepared ox carts. ”

Ye Feng deliberately didn't say it, just to let the Ye family have a buffer. Going to the county is an urgent matter, and the two of them must be able to understand it with a little thought.

Sure enough, as soon as he took a few steps, Ye Shi excitedly took Ye Feng's hand and asked, "Is there any news from Yu'er?" ”

Ye Feng said: "The yamen caught a flower last night, and it will be interrogated publicly in a while." We'll rush over now and see what he has to say. ”

As soon as Ye Feng said this, Ye Shi understood in his heart that this was indeed a hope.

When a few people arrived at the door, Chen Qianshan had already parked the ox cart there. Chen Jixing didn't get into the car, but walked to the house. Ye Shi said: "Don't get in the car yet, what are you doing." ”

Chen Jixing said: "I'll go into the house and get some silver, in case I can use it." ”

"No need, get in the car, I've got it here." Chen Qianshan said.

He went to the city to buy furniture, and the money hadn't been spent yet.

Along the way, Ye Shi was very nervous, and the weather was hot, so he sweated after a while, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

When I arrived at the yamen, I saw that the yamen had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was black and oppressive.

Before Ye Feng could make a move, he heard Ye Shi say: "Uncles and aunts, please let go, trouble let go, my daughter was abducted a few years ago, I want to go in and ask about that flower." ”

Seeing that Ye had a big belly, his face was covered with sweat, and his eyes were red with anxiety, they all felt pity and let go one after another. Ye Feng and Chen Jixing hurriedly helped Ye Shi in left and right.

Ye Shi saw that there were actually several women present who she knew. Back then, they went to the yamen to file together after the child was lost. Ye said: "Sister-in-law Wang, sister-in-law Liu, you are also here." ”

After saying that, he began to cry.

The woman, whom Ye called Wang's sister-in-law, was about forty years old, with a dark face and patches all over her clothes, and replied crying: "Yes, I pity my little daughter, and I don't know if I can find it today." ”

Hearing this, Liu also cried. Her son had been lost for seven years, and in the past seven years she and her husband had traveled to nearby villages and towns, but there was no news. As soon as she heard the news today, she and her husband immediately arrived.

There were many onlookers, and the weather was hot, and for a while, the smell in the yamen was a little unpleasant. In addition, the Ye family and the Wang family were crying quietly on the side, which was even more irritating.

However, the officials did not dare to stop it.

Bai Zhixian said that these people standing under the hall are all bitter masters, and there is actually a pregnant woman. Originally, he was angry with the county government because he couldn't get the child back, and if he spoke out again, it would be bad, and the crowd of onlookers would definitely make trouble.

If something really happens, let alone being promoted to a higher position, his official will definitely be degraded. As a small sesame official like him, degrading the official basically means that there is no hope of promotion for a lifetime.

Wang Dayi and the Lin family stood on the other side, waiting for Bai Zhi County to ascend to the court. As the most important witness of the day, the family was called over early in the morning. Looking at the few women crying on the other side, Lin was afraid for a while.

If her son can't be found, it is estimated that she is the one who is crying now.

Because he subconsciously hugged Wang Hu in his arms.

In the past few days, the Lin family has been holding Wang Hu in his arms whether he is eating or sleeping, and Wang Dayi is the same, although he can't rob the Lin family, his eyes have never left Wang Hu.

Wang Hu's proposal to go to a private school was also rejected by the two of them, saying that they were waiting for a while, at least, after Kang Yan was thrown out of prison.

As soon as Bai Zhixian came out, he saw several bitter masters crying there. There was a wave of displeasure in my heart.

He had already instructed Gu Xixi to come over early to comfort these women who had lost their children. He is a big man, and he is a magistrate, which is somewhat inconvenient.

It's good that she hasn't appeared yet, but she's busier than him.

Just thinking about it, I saw Gu Xixi come with Kang's family.

Although the Kang family is an outsider, it represents the Yin family and the Kang family in the capital. What's more, people have also lost children. Now begging to come to the door, the Baizhi County family naturally wants to spare no effort to help.

In the expectation of everyone, Kang Bran was brought out. dragged all the way, and it could be seen that his legs had been abolished by Chen Dayi. Seeing that Kang Bran was dragged out by the servants, Wang Dayi felt a burst of joy in his heart. Lin's eyes were even more angry, and he couldn't wait to rush up and slap Kang Yan a few times.

After some procedures, I only heard Bai Zhixian shouting: "Kang Yan, it is better for you to tell the names and whereabouts of the children who have been abducted over the years, and explain them early." If there is any concealment, the official will not spare it. ”

Kang Yan really knew that he was scared now, but after a day in prison, he had been tortured to the point of being inhuman. I don't know if Wang Dayi's family has dealt with it, or if the officials hate him, anyway, he feels that all the officials are targeting him.

Either he accidentally spilled the boiling water he was given to drink, or a sewing needle suddenly appeared under his feet or something. Anyway, at the end of the day, all kinds of strange things happened one after another, and he was about to collapse.

Hearing this, Kang Yan cringed and said: "Most of the sinners can't remember clearly, some of them were sold to families who could not have children, some were sold to work as coolies, and some were sold to kilns...... In the kiln. ”

Hearing this, the onlookers exclaimed. If you want to say that it is okay to sell a family that cannot have children, or sell it to be a coolie, at least there is hope.

But what about the girls he sold to the kiln?

For a while, the onlookers were a little angry and chattering.

"Silence! Quiet! Bai Zhixian was shocked, and then continued to interrogate.

"And how did you kidnap these kids?"

"Taking advantage of the fact that the adults were not paying attention, I took out candy, pastries and other food and gadgets to trick the child into a secluded place, covered his mouth with a handkerchief stained with sweat medicine, and took the ...... after fainting."

……

In the face of pressure, Kang Yan really knew everything, said everything, and said all the sins he had done over the years.

Although the crowd of onlookers was not the sufferer, the more they listened, the more angry they became, and while warning their children, they shouted loudly: "Lord Zhixian, kill him, you must cut him down." ”

"Yes, it's also a scourge for such a person to stay, kill him!"

"It's too much, how can people be black-hearted to this extent."

"Yes, evil, such a person should go to hell, go to the sword mountain and go down to the oil pot."

As soon as Wang heard Kang Yan say that a child was sold to the kiln by him, he didn't care about his image, stood up with a "whoosh", rushed over desperately, and greeted Kang Yan in the face with all his might.

Don't look at her as an ordinary peasant woman, but several people can't hold it.

She cried and shouted, "Give me back your daughter," as she scratched at Kang Bran. Seeing that he was being held by the officials, Wang broke free with both hands, pounced on it and bit Kang Yan's ear.
