"It's really a concubine." The village chief commanded for a while, and let Wu Muyun also tie up and sink the pond together, which can be regarded as a favor to the two, and they may be able to meet in the underworld in the future.

"I see who dares!"

Li Junru strode forward, blocking in front of his master, and defended the dignity of his master without sloppiness, "Whoever dares to touch him is an enemy of the imperial court, and the crime of attacking the county official is not light." ”

When they heard that it was a county official, everyone wilted. After looking at each other, no one dared to make a sound, and the smarter ones fled quietly.

"This ...... You say that you are a county official, you are a county official, what evidence do you have? "The old village chief is also anxious, if he can't come up with evidence, Shentang will inevitably be dealt with along with the attendants on his side, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Wu Muyun took out the waist card from his arms, "Do you recognize it?" ”

"The grass people have no eyes, but they didn't recognize the adults, and they still hope that the adults will atone for their sins, since the adults are here, come into my house and drink weak tea." The village chief's gaze dimmed, and the panic that was too fast to catch dissipated in the blink of an eye.

"Humph! See the old thing that the wind makes the rudder! Wu Muyun stepped forward and kicked him in the chest, and the old village chief fell to the ground and suddenly couldn't kick out.

Looking at the lively people, no one dared to talk more.

"Your Excellency...... Adults spare their lives......"

"Who gave you the right to careless human life?" As he spoke, his eyes twitched, and there was more ruthlessness in his eyes, "You are all accomplices, no one can escape, you are all a group of extremely vicious people." ”

"Your Excellency still needs to judge the case before you can be executed, and you actually dragged a pregnant woman to the sinking pond without permission, which is contempt for the criminal law and iron law of the dynasty." Worried that Wu Muyun would expose his private feelings too much, Li Junru straightened his words unhurriedly.

"This ...... This...... The grass people also felt a little cruel, but the mother-in-law of the Xia family had to be so ruthless, besides, a woman like this who worked like this, the village had an iron law of sinking ponds hundreds of years ago, so it was ...... Therefore, ...... "The village chief quietly dragged Xia Lianzhi out to confess the crime."

Mother-in-law of the Xia family!

Xia Lianzhi!

How could Wu Muyun have thought that she would eventually die at the hands of her mother-in-law.

This old woman is simply mad.

How frightened and desperate she must have been when she died.

Thinking of this, Wu Muyun felt as if his heart had been crushed, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.

Seeing that his master was already indulging in pain, Li Junru could only speak on his behalf, "She is not a subordinate person, she is kind to us, you can convict people so casually, it is simply unlawless." ”

"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse. Send more men to the river to fish for me, even if there are bones left. Wu Muyun landed on the tree with a fist, warm blood flowed out of the joints, his cold eyes narrowed, his gaze was like a man-eating tiger, "Escort the mother-in-law of the Xia family and the village chief to the yamen." ”

Li Junru is obviously too busy with these things alone, and if he goes back to the county to find someone, he will have to delay a lot of time.

"You, you, you...... Jump into the river and find it for me, and if you do your job, you may be spared your punishment. After that, he found a few more people who looked smart, "A few of you go and press that Xia Pozi." ”

After arranging the matter, Li Junru persuaded him and asked him to go back to rest, and there would be good news to be delivered.

Good news? Seeing that the sun is about to set, what other good news can there be?

It is nothing more than finding the corpse.

As soon as he thought of that picture, Wu Muyun felt that he was about to go crazy......

"Ahh

If he had forcibly kept Mo Qiantao by his side despite all worldly eyes, this would not have happened.

"Adult ......" worried that he was overly sad, Li Junru dodged and slashed at the back of his neck.

*

The night was long, and when he looked up, it was endless black, and the surrounding area was quiet and quiet, which was in sharp contrast to his mood with each other.

Suddenly, a beam of light flashed brightly, Wu Muyun's eyes suddenly tightened, and he saw Feng Rongxi with a concerned face.

"Who told you to light the lamp!" He roared angrily, and Feng Rongxi was so startled that even the candle fell to the ground.

"Xianggong...... What happened to you? She was so frightened that she cried.

"What about Li Junru? Can you come back? As he asked, he stood up and straightened his clothes with a blank face.

He ...... I didn't see it. As he spoke, Feng Rongxi had already shed tears, "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" The way you look scares me. ”

"Xianggong, it's late at night, where are you going?" Feng Rongxi immediately chased after him.

"How many days is it?" He was dazed for a moment, raised his head to look at the disc-like moon, and couldn't help but think of the last time he saw Mo Qiantao.

Now that I think about it, it's like a world away.

"Zi Shi ......" Feng Rongxi's voice fell for a long time, but he didn't react until Li Junru appeared, and he immediately hurried up to meet him.

"How?" Wu Muyun's voice was trembling, he was afraid in his heart, no matter what the answer was, he didn't even have the courage to listen to it.

Seeing that Li Junru was about to open his mouth, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "That's it, that's it." ”

"My lord......" Li Junru was surprised that he was suffering from gains and losses like this, and turned to Feng Rongxi and said, "Madam, I have official affairs to report to my lord, and I ask Madame to avoid it." ”

Feng Rongxi glanced at Wu Muyun, and saw that he didn't say anything to save himself, so he silently retreated.

"My lord, all the rivers in the vicinity have been searched, but no body has been found."

This sentence undoubtedly ignited the hope that had been extinguished in his heart, and his eyes suddenly brightened, "In this way, she may still be alive." ”

Li Junru didn't dare to guarantee it, compared to her a pregnant woman, her hands and feet were tied again, and the chance of survival was very slim, Li Junru wondered if she was taken away by a wild beast, but he didn't dare to tell Wu Muyun about this, for fear that he couldn't help but act more and more crazy.

Hearing this news, Wu Muyun's thoughts became clear in an instant, "The mother-in-law of the Xia family can be pressed in the cell?" ”

"Yes, I'm afraid I've fainted right now." Li Junru thought that on the way back, Mrs. Xia cried all the way to her father and mother, and she was very naughty.

When he thought of Xia Pozi, he felt that his ears hurt.

"My lord still has a few hours, so let's rest for a while, and the case will be tried tomorrow." Li Junru was also too sleepy, and now he felt that his legs were weak when he took two steps.

"You can rest first." Wu Muyun waved his hand, turned around and stood with his hands in his hands.

When it was over, Li Junru said again, "Where does Young Master Zhang need to change to another adult to take a look?" ”

His breath became heavy, slowed down, and he was so heavy that he spat out a few words, "Don't pay attention to him." ”

Seeing that Li Junru's background gradually blended into the night, he casually took a single coat and put it on his body, and walked towards the study.

With a creak, the door opened, and he took out the portrait of Mo Qiantao, and found that it was covered with many folds and stains.

The pen is carefully modified in the scroll, and before you know it, the sky is getting brighter.

He dragged his tired body and went to the Yamen Mansion with a scumbag on his face.

Xia Lianzhi and the old village chief shrank in the hall, as if they were trembling slightly.

Now you know you're scared? When it is a sinking pond, how can you not be afraid of the reincarnation of heaven.

"Is it a fact that the two of you joined forces with the villagers to sink the Mo family into the pond?"

There was a startling sound, which surprised the two kneeling people.

"It was Mrs. Xia who first stunned her daughter-in-law and put her in a bamboo cage to find me to preside over the sinking pond affairs, and it was the first time for me as a village chief to encounter such a strange thing, and then I was deceived by Mrs. Xia's words, so I did a foolish thing." The old village chief thought clearly, he wanted to put all the responsibility on Xia Lianzhi.

Xia Lianzhi stared at this, pointed at the old village chief and began to defend, "What nonsense are you talking about, this idea is also yours, you said that you can't let Mo Qiantao discredit the entire village, you must sink her in the pond to set an example." ”

Wu Muyun didn't want to delve into what was true or false, what he wanted was for the two of them to eat dog to involve more people and avenge Mo Qiantao.

"If the Mo clan commits a crime, only the yamen will deal with it, where will you put me, the county official? But you want to judge the case for me? He has already hidden his personal emotions and pulled this absurd incident to the government and politics, this matter involves the authority of the heavenly family, so that people will not think that he is making a fuss for a village woman.

The two kowtowed one after another to apologize, and said a few words that they would not dare to do it again in the future. Not long after begging for mercy, Xia Lianzhi began to count Mo Qiantao's debauchery and shamelessness.

"To sum up, have you witnessed it with your own eyes? A stranger's nonsense makes you ruthlessly kill your daughter-in-law and unborn child, are you ignorant or have the intention to declare personal vendettas? ”

Xia Lianzhi's face was pale, and her calloused hands couldn't help trembling.

Why do you believe it?

"The man said that he had a nose and eyes, and the women had to believe it."

"Would you rather trust an outsider than trust your daughter-in-law? What if that happens...... Did the man deliberately cause trouble? Wu Muyun knew what she was afraid of, so he estimated that he would bluff her with words, which was undoubtedly more painful than killing her directly.

"No way......" she lowered her head, clutching her clothes tightly. It was clear that she was beginning to waver at the moment.

No way!

When pigs fly!

The mole on her back is the best proof of this.

Xia Lianzhi suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised her head and said, "The folk woman doesn't understand what the adult means, this time she wants to avenge that slut?" That's not what your wife said at the beginning. ”

After a slight stunned moment, he said, "Oh? Tell me what my lady says. ”

What else can there be in Fengrong Creek here? That woman fights with Tan Cuihong every day, and what kind of moth can she go out to.

"Last month, the woman heard her own ears ask the lady when the slut was pregnant, and the original words were like this, 'If there is no six months, the father of the fetus in this womb is really a little unclear' The meaning is obvious, at that time, the woman did not go to her heart, and now it seems that your wife is still prescient."
