032 Confrontation
It was a cedar tree, and there were many people around the tree, and as the two of them drew closer, they heard a very immature sobbing sound coming out of the center of the circle, intermittently. Chu Ye couldn't hear it clearly, but Sima Jin had a background in martial arts, and quickly gave Chu Ye four words: "Sell yourself to bury your father." β
Then, Sima Jin added contemptuously: "Don't think that if I know the turtle breath method, I don't know that people are not dead, and I cheat money!" But that little girl is really sad to cry, maybe she was abused and forced! β
He was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were bright, and he said excitedly: "Why don't we eliminate the harm for the people, rush over immediately, hack the big villain to death with one sword, and then hang the corpse at the city gate......"
Chu Ye shook his head: "What if that person is really the father of the little girl?" It's just a matter of cheating some money, and it's not a crime. β
Chu Ye knew that Sima Jin had his own insistence, and he had taken care of this matter in a down-to-earth manner, so he said, "I have a way." β¦β¦ Let's go first. β
Sima Jin escorted Chu Ye through the layers of crowds and stood at the front. There was a broken mat in front of him, and on the mat lay a middle-aged man with a dry and sallow face, his chest did not rise and fall at all, as if he was really dead. There was a little girl kneeling at the table, indeed smallβonly four or five years old, no wonder she couldn't sell it.
The little girl combed two pigtails, her face was gray, her eyes were big, there was no flesh on her body, she only cried vigorously, and she had a written deed of sale in her hand.
According to the plan, Sima Jin came out of the queue with dignity and threw a silver ingot into the little girl's arms: "You come with me!" β
The little girl was stunned with the silver, and then kowtowed three times with a "bang", wiped her tears, and said in a dumb voice: "Thank you Uncle Mud!" Please give the mud three days to bury your father and keep filial piety, and after three days, the mud will ......"
Sima Jin was obviously shocked by the name "mud", and stood in the wind and forgot the next lines. Chu Ye scolded the mother in his heart, but he reluctantly stepped forward, half-squatted down, and looked at the little girl through the "corpse" on the seat: "I'm afraid this won't work." She said. We'll be leaving Maple City in two days. Of course, we bought you, and we won't stop you from paying tribute to your father. β
The little girl's eyes were dark and bright, and Chu Ye looked at her while blocking the crowd behind her with her body, and reached out to quietly click the acupoints of the "corpse".
If there is no one to solve the acupuncture, the man will not wake up for the rest of his life, and the turtle breath will really return to the west.
Chu Ye lowered his voice softly: "In this way, let's find a good place for you, and immediately bury your father, what did he like before he died, you tell us, we will try our best to burn it to him, it will be regarded as compensation, what do you think?" β
The little girl's eyes widened, and she subconsciously glanced at the man on the ground.
The onlookers suddenly heard a lot of chatter:
"Oops! These are truly good people! How can anyone be so considerate to the people they bought? What's more, it's a little girl who can only eat white food! β
"Not really! This girl is lucky! And this man, he doesn't have to worry about the underground, it's really a blessing from a hundred generations of cultivation! β
"Tut-tut......"
The little girl didn't say anything for a long time, Chu Ye looked at her, lowered her voice, and said softly: "If you want, we will bury him now, and the huge stones on the grave will weigh thousands of catties, and the tall monument will make him walk out of this world happily......"
The little girl was shocked, suddenly nodded her head suddenly, nodded again, stood up with a "brush", and handed the deed of sale to Chu Ye.
Chu Ye smiled and took it, put it in his sleeve at will, raised his head and squinted at Sima Jin: "Hire someone and bury it." β
On the way back, the little girl has been a little distracted. They buried the man in the back mountain, and the grave was covered with impermeable rocks, and to this extent, even the land lord was crushed to death.
During the whole process, the little girl stared intently, and when she left, she turned back three times in one step, as if she couldn't believe it.
This thing was done for most of the day, as soon as noon passed, several people were a little hungry, Chu Ye had an injury on his shoulder, and the little girl also looked like she hadn't eaten enough all year round, so the three of them found a small shop nearby and ordered some ordinary but affordable dishes that could fill their stomachs. While waiting for the food, I chatted with the little girl.
Sima Jin is no longer frivolous in the past, so gentle that he can drip water: "Your name is mud? β
The little girl glanced at him quickly and nodded timidly.
Sima Jin said: "This name ...... It's not very elegant, would you like to change one? β
The little girl nodded without hesitation.
So Sima Jin began to groan, Chu Ye said in his heart what to do so troublesomely, he directly took the little girl's deed of sale out, and waved it in front of the little girl: "You can order two words you like." β
Sima Jin: "...... she is literate?" β
Before the words fell, the little girl's thin fingers had already poked down, I glanced at it, and silently looked away: "...... Let's change two words. β
With such a big piece of paper, why does she focus on "poverty"?
Sima Jin laughed heartlessly, beat his thigh and said, "Haha! Poor, I said Xiao Yezi, this girl shouldn't be your poor daughter, right? Hahaha......"
Chu Ye glanced at him lightly, and he immediately stopped, making a blank look.
The little girl didn't know why, but she still moved her fingertips as she said and replaced it with another word.
Chu Ye was satisfied and nodded: "Okay, you can follow my surname, and you will be called Chu Dafa in the future." β
The original words of the deed of sale: "...... The buyer is merciful and merciful......"
Sima Jin thumped his legs again: "Haha little leaf!" Your daughter is more talented than youβ"
His "ah" was long because Chu Ye stepped on his foot under the table.
The little girl shrank back in some fear, in her immature and innocent eyes, the boy opposite laughed and screamed, it was terrible.
Sima Jin stopped laughing and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, don't make trouble." Xiaoyezi, you are really, a good little girl, what is the difference between taking such a name and mud? We met her under the cedar tree, and the cedar is an all-powerful tree, so it is better to call it Chu Shan. β
It's a small restaurant, but it's a small restaurant, but it has a lot of diners. Chu Ye and a few people sat in the open-air stall on the side of the street, and they didn't see the food being served to the table for a long time. However, the little girl has a new name, and she seems to be closer to Chu Ye and them, and the liveliness she should have is revealed, and there are more words.
Chu Ye is out of the horse, no one can build a defense, or it won't be long before the little girl's life experience will be clear.
She was an orphan with no father and no mother, and was brought to her side by human traffickers, that is, men who had been buried alive, forced to cooperate with him to cheat money, and sometimes stole something, and if she didn't meet the requirements, she would naturally be beaten and scolded. In short, men are innocent of death.
Sima Jin swept a handful of sympathetic tears: "Poor little Shanshan, if I hadn't met the righteous and awe-inspiring, I might have been sad and angry......"
Chu Ye turned his head and pretended not to see it.
However, this time, her eyes flickered.
A few feet away, a column of patrol house catchers with swords solemnly faced, while pushing through the crowd, strode towards them.
Sima Jin obviously found out, but he didn't move, stared at the visitor through the heavy pedestrians, and slowly took a sip of tea.
The speed of the catchers was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the table, and the leader pointed at the knife, and said in a rough voice: "It's them, take them away!" β
"Wait." Chu Ye's voice was faint, "Dare to ask the official, why do you bring people?" β
"Why?" The head catcher snorted coldly, "You are so bold! If you kill someone, you dare to go down to the restaurant to eat! Take it with me! β
Sima Jin's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "That person is a beast at all!" He deserves to die! Forcing such a small ......"
"Presumptuous!" The head catcher was also furious, "Even if you kill Young Master Jia, you dare to speak wildly!" Young Master Jia dignified the county order young master, how can you allow Er and other untouchables to slander! β
Young Master Jia? Jia Jun?
"You're a pariah!" Sima Jin scolded angrily, "Your ancestors have been untouchables for eighteen generations!" Bullshit Young Master Jia! It's not worth pouring a night pot for Lao Tzu...... Wait, who do you say died? Jia Jun? β
He was stunned: "Just that guy with a ghostly face?" He's dead? Who killed it? β
"Fang just said that Young Master Jia deserves to die, and he must deny the crime! Rubbing what? Take them all! β
"Who dare!" Sima Jin slapped the table and stood up, and in an instant, a tube of bamboo chopsticks placed in the center rose to the sky.
Sima Jin took advantage of the gap to glance at Chu Ye, both of them knew that Sima Jin had only blocked the acupoints of the white wall face, and he would soon extricate himself, and someone else would kill him.
The chopsticks in the sky began to fall neatly, and when he reached Sima Jin, he stretched out his sleeves, and a handful of chopsticks spread out in all directions, attacking the catchers in all directions.
Chu Ye pulled Sima Jin's sleeve. Sima Jin turned his head to look, collected his internal strength, and the chopsticks stopped together, and then fell to the ground as if they had lost their strength all of a sudden.
Chu Ye stood up and said slowly, "I'll go to the yamen with you." β
She pulled the little girl on the side and walked out, and swept her eyes towards the head catcher: "But we didn't kill the person, let's go with you, just to clarify the facts." β
Chu Ye held his head high and strode out of the restaurant, Sima Jin glanced contemptuously at the group of strong outsiders who were surrounded outside, and stepped up to follow.
Before a few people stepped into the main gate of the government, they heard the neat sound of "mighty-" from inside.
Chu Ye smiled and stepped into the county gate of Fenghua City.
The yamen is nothing more than that, entering the gate is the lobby, the back is staggered, the cloth embraces each other, the two columns of officials before their deaths, the cane in their hands, a flat forehead hanging in the center, and the county lord who sits below the golden knife of the horse.
Jia Xianling's facial features are very ordinary, his nose is pointed, he has just lost his beloved son, he looks extremely sad and angry, his eyes are red, and his lips are trembling. Next to him stood a gray-clothed man, holding a pen book, who seemed to be a master, and lowered his head after just one glance.
The two of them went to the center of the lobby to stand, Chu Ye put the little girl on the ground, and made a gesture to the Jia county order above: "The grass people have seen the county order. β
"Presumptuous!" Jia Xian Ling slapped the startled wood heavily, blew his beard and glared, "Boldly Diao Min!" I don't kneel down when I see this official! The surname is very famous, and the report is coming up! β
"Kneel to your uncle!" Sima Jin is not ordinary arrogance, just now a sack of things from his little leaf was taken away by the officials, but Xiao Yezi didn't let him make trouble, he was very angry.
"You're ......!" Jia Xianling almost fainted, he slapped the wood again and shouted, "No...... I don't know what to do! Call me! Hit hard! β
Sima Jin glanced at the officials who rushed up, stepped forward, and protected the two people, one big and one small, behind him, the officials couldn't get close at all, and in the stalemate, Chu Ye noticed that the master looked at us again.
"Why should my lord insist on these false courtesies," Chu Ye smiled and said, "Investigating the case a moment earlier will give you one more chance to find the real culprit, don't you want Young Master Jia to be blind?" β
Jia Xian Ling was on fire above his head, intending to have a seizure, but he pressed it down, he glanced at the master who had been working hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Bring witnesses to court!" β
"Mightyβ"
The people who were brought up were the four family members, who were Jia Jun's attendants before his death, and they were also the ones who saw Sima Jin's ability to run away. As soon as the four of them came up, they fell to the ground, their heads banged, and they cried bitterly: "My lord! The young master is wronged! The little ones have already rushed back home to report, but they are still one step too late! My poor young master! β
Jia Xianling's face was pale, and he was angry at these useless things: "Who did it to your young master and identify it!" β
The four of them turned their heads, and the four fingers pointed at Sima Jin together: "It's him!" β
"He didn't know what he did, the young master suddenly fell to the ground, and never got up again......
"I sealed Young Master Jia's Tianfu and Liangqiu's two caves." Sima Jin spoke, "A stick of incense will be solved, but there will be no worries about life......
"Shut up!" Jia County ordered the case to be photographed, "This official didn't let you speak!" β
This is clearly difficult!
Chu Ye took a step forward and said unhurriedly: "Do you want to be a dumb official who only listens to one side?" Or do you not dare to make the truth public, because ...... Is it too unbearable? β
