He hated the young officer with contempt. But without saying anything, he took him to the wagon, tied it with a rope, and the soldiers drove it forward, while he rode forward. At first, he struggled, kicked his bare feet and pleaded loudly, but then he lost his strength, so he could only lie on the car and let them pull him along.

Only then did she realize that she had come to a place where there was no law, and a young officer could decide life and death.

The carriage left the lodge and went down. Seeing it with contempt, Xie Jingliang was standing at the entrance of the villa with a group of people. People talked a lot, and Xie Jingliang tried to persuade him. Contempt was extremely unsettled, where was this young officer going to take her, and what punishment would she receive? The young officer must have seen her shoe prints at the scene to identify her as the murderer. But at the scene, there should be Xie Jingliang's footprints! Why don't you arrest him? With wide eyes, he looked carefully at the entrance of the villa, and found that Xie Jingliang was not wearing the shoes just now, but a pair of brown-red boots. Could it be that Xie Jingliang can predict the prophet?

Scorn: I don't know at all.

The carriage pulled her along the path she had just taken. After driving for a long time, I actually went out of the mountain road. Looking out of the gorge of the mountain road, there is a large plain with rice growing on it. And on the right, at the foot of the mountain, there was a small city, with a rock-built wall, and there were many soldiers standing guard at the head of the city. This is what Uncle Xie said about the camp city, right?

The carriage followed the stone path formed naturally in the mountain pass. Maybe it's because of the mountains, but the road leading to the town is all stone. There were soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city, and the swords of Changge flashed. The carriage went straight into the city in front of them.

The roads in the city are also all stone, but they are still potholed. On both sides of the road are all kinds of houses, tall and short, uneven, and occasionally there are quite decent houses, carved beams and painted columns. There are also shops that sell clothing, food, and so on. After walking for a while, a large house appeared in front of me, with a wide façade. Seeing the young officer and his entourage dismount, they entered the door. The carriage then stopped at the gate, and was dismantled from the carriage and headed straight for the gate. The yard is quite spacious, and it is a big house directly opposite the door. But instead of going to the big house, he was escorted to the side, through a door, to a small courtyard, and was pushed into a house next to the small courtyard.

The house was clearly a prison, and the aisles were lined with wooden fences separating the cells, but there were no other prisoners. Contempt was wheeled into a cell, and a wooden bolt fell outside. When the soldiers went out, the room was empty, but fortunately there was a window above the cell that let in the light.

"Let me go, let me go!" She screamed and pushed the wooden fence of the cell with all her might, but no one paid any attention to her. I understood contemptuously, and I was afraid it would be useless to shout out my voice.

Contemptuously, he saw that there was only one wooden bed in the cell, and he fell on the grass. She began to cry, thinking that she might well be finished.

"Mom, Daddy, you don't have to see the contempt. It's all caused by Jin Yan's little bad seed! If you know the truth, you will avenge me! ”

It was getting dark. Thinking in contempt and fear, there must be no light in this cell, and she is alone, alone. But she didn't have the energy to shout, so she could only lie still.

There was a sound at the gate, and then it was opened, and a flash of fire came in, and a soldier in front of him was holding a torch, followed by several people, who turned out to be the young officer, who had come with his retinue. They opened the cell door, and the two soldiers set up the scorn and put it aside, and it was a large place, and there was nothing. The soldier carried her to the middle, then made her kneel and held her tightly.

There was only one torch, and the figures were swaying like ghosts.

The young officer came to stand three meters away from Contempt with a majestic expression.

"I ask you, Alain," he began, "why do you want to kill Changle?" ”

Ran raised his head contemptuously and looked at him contemptuously: "How do you think I killed Changle?" ”

"We have proof."

"Can you show me the evidence?"

The young officer signaled, and a soldier went over and handed him the clogs that he had worn with disdain. The young officer held up his clogs: "Did you see that?" At the scene of Changle's murder, there are shoe prints of this pair of clogs. ”

Suddenly remembered the knowledge of solving cases that her mother had told her, as well as some related cases, and she was determined to fight with this ancient man who didn't know anything.

"Can you determine the time of Changle's death?"

"Of course, it's your time there."

"What time is that? Can you be sure that when I arrived at the scene wearing these clogs, it was the time of Changle's death? ”

"Of course you know!"

"How are you sure?"

"There was no one else at the scene, only you were there!"

"What if I arrived before Changle died?"

"Impossible!"

Contemptuously suddenly felt that it was necessary to bluff him: "Tell you!" I did go to the scene, and I also met Changle, talked to him very amicably, and then broke up. ”

The young officer again said categorically: "Impossible! ”

Contemptuously pretended to be sincere: "It's true." I talked to Changle about wild boars in the mountains and asked him if he could catch them today, and I wanted to eat them. Then, I waved to Changle and went down the mountain. I was at the bottom of the mountain, and I shouted at Changle a few times, saying that I would wait for him in the villa, and it would be best if he could catch a wild boar. When I left, Changle was still on the mountain! ”

"You!" The young officer shouted angrily, "You just arrived at the villa, right? How did you know Changle? ”

"I am a refugee, and along the way, I quickly met strangers, and I also met Changle in this way." Contemptuously pretended to be more calm, and as if he had been greatly wronged, he cried loudly: "What are you doing here? I obviously waved goodbye to Changle. After I entered the village, I went to Changle's house and talked to his daughter Masako and son Erdan for a while. Changle died after I left, and it has nothing to do with me! Woo, woo, you wronged good people! ”

The young officer was a little out of breath, so he spun around on the spot and shouted, "Don't cry anymore!" Tell you, I can condemn you to death with these shoes! Tomorrow morning, I will put you to death!" He waved his hand at the soldier: "Shut up!" ”

The soldier again dragged Scornen into his cell and locked him in. Yelled with contempt. But the young officer stopped listening and led the people out of the city.

Contempt fell on the grass at once. She was fighting with the young officer just now, and she was so tired that she was sweating all over. Although she is very clever and on a whim, she actually made up the story so completely! But she knew that what the young officer said was probably true, and that she would not be judged again, and that she would be executed tomorrow! Oh, my God! What should she do, what should she do?

She was so terrified that she had no master. She can't just die! She wants to live, she wants to live, she has to live!

She jumped up and made a big noise, pushing hard against the wooden fence. But her voice was hoarse, but no one came in, not even a sound. What about Uncle Xie? Uncle Xie should save her!

It was completely dark, and it was dark in the cell. Contempt finally ran out of voice. She collapsed on the bed and suddenly heard a slight sound under the wooden bed. What is it? She jumped creepy. It's a mouse! She's afraid of mice, she's afraid of that furry thing! She jumped so hard that the voices were gone.

She was tired, hungry, and afraid. She felt like she was going crazy!

The door opened again, and a flash of fire entered. It was a soldier with a torch, and Xie Jingliang was following behind. Contemptuously felt that he had seen a savior, and cried against the fence.

Xie Jingliang hurriedly went to the fence to persuade her and told her: "You will not be executed tomorrow, but released." ”

"Can you, can you?"

"Yes, don't you still believe Uncle Xie's words?"

Contemptuously still didn't believe it, and asked many times, Xie Jingliang made a guarantee to her, and her crying gradually became smaller, and then stopped.

The soldier opened the fence gate, handed the torch to Xie Jingliang, and went out. Xie Jingliang walked over with a torch in one hand and a crockpot in the other.

"Uncle Xie, what's going on, can you really let me go?" Contempt still didn't dare to fall to the bottom in his heart.

"It's true." Xie Jingliang stuck the torch into a gap in the wooden fence, sat down on the ground, and opened the crockpot, which contained hot food, pork, mutton, and stewed vegetables, as well as rice wrapped in leaves, that he had eaten in the villa. But Contempt didn't have any appetite.

"Uncle Xie, tell me, what's going on?"

Xie Jingliang sighed: "This matter is quite troublesome. You're doing exceptionally well, though. You didn't admit that Changle fell off a cliff and died because you were frightened, so you found an excuse for us. ”

"What, just an excuse?"

"That's right! This Lu Li...... Oh, that young officer has every right to punish you. ”

Contempt was tightened again: "So, he still hasn't changed his mind?" ”

"He really hasn't changed his mind. However, he can let you out of the mountain tomorrow and enter the villa. ”

"Why?" Trembling with contempt, he sat limply on the ground.

"Because I told him that you were the shrine maiden I had hired to help us find the veins."

Contemptuously raised his head in shock, his eyes widened: "What, what, witch? ”

"Yes, it's a shrine maiden."

"Woo!" Contemptuously softened again, crying, "What a witch! How did I become a shrine maiden! I don't want to be a shrine maiden, I want to live, I want to go home alive! ”

Xie Jingliang sighed sympathetically: "Contempt, I have no choice but to do it." But in fact, what's wrong with the shrine maiden? It's good, it's very good, it's going to save your life! ”

"Can you save my life?"

"Yes, yes. Do you know the truth? The era we have crossed over is an era of many talents. Now, two recognized great men live in this era. One is Confucius, who was in his prime. There is also Sun Tzu, who is preparing to use his military talents to attack the state of Xu. Even Lu Li should not be underestimated. He enlisted in the army at the age of sixteen, experienced in a hundred battles, and was a person that King Xu particularly trusted. He is now the camp city pastor, this is the highest local administrator set up by the Xu State according to the official system of the Zhou Dynasty, and he also holds military power, and his soldiers are thousands! If you become a shrine maiden, you can be above them, you can control their minds, and you will have a way to live. ”

"Can it be done, can it be done?"

"Absolutely! In fact, in this era, Chinese culture has been extremely penetrating, and ordinary scholars and scholars have quite rich cultural knowledge. You're powerless. Only when you become a witch can you manifest yourself among people and be imaginative. ”

Contemptuously understood, and the cry gradually became quieter.

Xie Jingliang looked around cautiously and whispered, "I'll tell you another happy event!" In the owner's bedroom, I found a very considerable treasure. We've got the money. ”

“……？” Crying a little confused, she looked at him wordlessly.

"You still don't understand? I've found gold, silver, and lots of coins, which are the basis for our survival! I gave Lu Li money just now, but this kid is very honest, so he doesn't want it. So I made up a lie that you were a witch. Lu Li only then agreed, and let you go back to the villa for the time being tomorrow morning. ”

"What, for now?"

"It's good for a while, things will always turn around. Contempt, you should know the story of Queen Dansha of the Qin Dynasty, right? ”

"I know it." Defiantly replied vaguely. In fact, contempt is not an ordinary way of knowing the Tao. As soon as the TV station aired the film, she was hooked. Her mother was afraid that she would delay her studies and didn't let her watch it, so she locked the TV, so she hid in her room and watched TV on her laptop. She thinks this Dansha Queen called Qing is very remarkable.

Xie Jingliang said: "Queen Qing of Dansha can gain the trust of Qin Shi Huang, not only because she has huge wealth and can provide Qin Shi Huang with mercury for building tombs, but the most important thing is that she herself is a witch and has the ability to rule thoughts, so she can shock others." My intention, you happen to be from the land of Bashu, so you pretend to be a witch, so that no one dares to bully you. ”

Contempt is now completely clear. Her crying stopped, and she became silent, silent for a long time. She felt that she had no way out, and perhaps becoming a shrine maiden was the best way for her to be liberated.

"But I don't know the witch's tricks!" She said sadly.

"Can I help you! Tonight, you're going to follow me. Tomorrow, you're going to show it to everyone as a shrine maiden. The first is to go back to the mountain villa and use witchcraft to find mines. I dare say that with the exception of great figures like Confucius and Sun Tzu, as well as a few shrewd people, all others, including those foolish kings of various countries, will bow down under your pomegranate skirt and become the ones who believe in you the most. Dansha Queen Qing is a figure who will not appear until nearly three hundred years after you, and you will stand on the shoulders of all people and rule their minds in this era. ”

Ran sighed softly with contempt. She felt that everything was too difficult. If you become a shrine maiden, can you be exempted from that punishment? Lu Li has so much power, maybe he is one of the few shrewd people that Uncle Xie said, right?
