Although the man was strange, when he thought of the tragic destruction of his mother's family, the hatred in his heart ignited again like a raging fire, and he held the jade pendant tightly, walked out of the village, and went straight to the county seat.

When he came to the town, the man got on the ox cart to the county seat, and came to the county government in the evening to beat the drum and shout the grievances.

In the county office, the county order was preparing to go down, and suddenly heard the drumming sound of 'dong, dong, dong' outside, and the drummer seemed to have exhausted all his strength, making the drum sound dull and powerful, and the drumming sound seemed to be knocking on people's hearts, making the listeners tremble.

"Let's see who's drumming." The county order instructed the master standing at the table.

"Yes, sir." After the master gave up, he turned around and walked out of the study.

When he came to the gate of the county office, the master only saw a woman about twenty-eight in cheesecloth clothes, so he asked in a deep voice, "You were playing the drum just now?" ”

"Yes, this lord, the woman went back to her mother's house to visit her relatives today, but found that her mother's family was killed, and even my three-month-old nephew was also murdered, so please ask the lord to be the master of the people's wife." The woman choked up and finished speaking, then presented the jade pendant to the master with both hands: "Master, this is found on my dead sister-in-law." ”

"You wait a minute." When the master saw the eagle on the jade pendant, he was shocked, took the jade pendant while speaking, and hurriedly entered the inner study.

"Who's drumming?" Seeing the master coming back in a hurry, the county magistrate asked.

"My lord, it's a woman, she said that her mother's family was tragically destroyed, this jade pendant is evidence from the woman's dead sister-in-law, and the subordinates look like it, like ......" Speaking of the back, the master didn't dare to say any more, if the woman's family is really as he guessed, then this is not a simple homicide.

"Like what?" Seeing that the master was spitting and spitting, the county order was even more puzzled.

"Like the people of Xiliang." The master hung his head and said quickly.

"What? Someone from Xiliang dares to kill people in our county? The county commander Huo Ran stood up and said in a deep voice: "Give me the jade pendant." ”

"Yes, sir." The master obeyed the order and presented the jade pendant in his hand to the county order. ”

The county commander took the jade pendant and looked at it, and his face changed drastically: "It's really Xiliang people, they are going to stir up trouble." ”

"My lord, could this be someone with a heart to stir up peace between Zewen and Xiliang? Didn't we sign a peace agreement with the other six countries just three years ago? Master said cautiously.

The county magistrate no longer spoke, but sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a letter quickly, and then put the jade pendant and the letter together in the envelope and sealed it, and then handed it to the master: "You immediately let the messenger send the letter to Prince Xian of Danfeng Village, Wangmen County overnight, and it must be delivered to Prince Xian tonight." ”

"Yes, sir." The master took the letter and turned around and left in a hurry.

When he came back again, he told the county magistrate: "My lord, the woman who came to report the case is still waiting at the gate of the county office." ”

"Let's go to the scene and see." The county magistrate stood up and said as he walked towards the door of the study.

"Yes, sir." Along the way, the master called the servants and the servants, and the group got into the carriage, let the woman lead the way, and set off in a majestic manner.

When the group arrived at Giethoorn, it was already dark, and looking at the still dark village, the woman was very puzzled: "When did the people in the village go to bed so early?" ”

"You mean, the people in this village go to bed late?" Hearing the woman's words, the prefectural magistrate asked.

"It's not late, but it won't be so early, it's only midday, and the work at home hasn't been finished yet, how can you go to sleep?" The woman shook her head in reply.

Hearing the woman's answer, the county magistrate also frowned, as the woman said, even if someone goes to bed early, but not every village goes to bed so early, there will always be some lights, but now the village in front of him is pitch black, only the torch in the hand of the official is burning.
