The sun was setting in the west, and an ox cart slowly drove out of the village, a group of several people, the Nanshan immortals pretended to be ordinary old men, and the rest of the people served as children, pretending to be a family, and quietly left.

When the sun sets, half of the houses in the village are lit up, there is no entertainment in these years, the long night is long, and the candle flame is also a money-consuming thing, unless there are students at home who want to study, otherwise ordinary farmers are busy giving birth to children in addition to sleeping after dark.

Liu Laosan and his wife Liu have a son and a daughter, in the era of paying attention to many sons and blessings, these two are definitely not enough, today finally sent away those Jianghu people, he is planning to hurry up with his wife to have another one.

Unexpectedly, not long after his house turned off the lights, there was a sudden commotion outside the village, he hurriedly got up and lay on the windowsill to look, the village became brightly lit at night, and dozens of black-clothed knights carried torches through it.

The sound of horses' hooves woke up the sleeping villagers, and under the urging of the chief, everyone was trembling.

In fact, not only the villagers, but even the chief was also flustered, he was a little knowledgeable, and he knew who Jin Yiwei was holding, so he was desperately praying at the moment that it was better to misunderstand.

This trip led people to search this village is the general flag counting thousands of miles, he brought a few small flags under his hand, and dozens of wrestlers, at this time the villagers came, and they took out the sea fishing documents as usual and began to question.

"But someone has seen the man in this painting! This is a prisoner of the imperial court! I have strict laws, harboring Qin should be beheaded, harboring Qin should be punished according to the same party, relatives will sit together, and those who do not report it will be punished with 80 rods and sentenced to exile! ”

Ji Qianli's words caused a panic in the crowd again, and the lieutenant hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we are all honest farmers, and we will never do that illegal thing." ”

"Is it not, the official has his own judgment, if there is nothing to do, how can the official be here." Counting thousands of miles, a sentence makes it look like falling into an ice cave.

Yes, this Jinyiwei is a big business, yes, but there is no reason to kill chickens with a knife, there are so many officials in the Yamen of Shuntianfu, it is more than enough to search these villages, why bother Jinyiwei.

Since Ji Qianli and people appeared here, it already shows that this place is suspicious.

Seeing that no one replied, Ji Qianli asked again: "Which one is Liu Dazhuang, come out and talk back!" ”

This name made the villagers turn their heads for a while, a little confused, but it was the chief who reacted first, his eyes like he wanted to eat people glared at Liu Laosan, who was hiding at the end, and scolded sharply: "Liu Laosan! Adults are calling you, don't get over here! ”

Liu Laosan walked out with weak legs, and his wife and a pair of children followed, although they didn't know what was happening, but it was obviously not a good thing to be named, and the villagers avoided them like the plague.

"Great, sir! The villain is just an ordinary farmer, and he doesn't know anything" Even though his teeth were trembling, Liu Laosan still tensed his nerves and tried not to show his flaws.

Ji Qianli squinted at him, and a pair of angry eyes stared at Liu Laosan's blood, which seemed to become cold.

Xiao Qi who was accompanying him sneered: "Liu Dazhuang, in front of Lord Zongqi, you dare to speak cleverly!" Someone in the neighboring village told you that you had a private meeting with a strange woman in the forest yesterday! How do you explain it! ”

The two villages are not far away, they are basically farming families, and the people who come and go are also familiar with the neighbors, Liu Dazhuang's family are farmers, and there are no prominent relatives outside.

And according to the description, the woman was outstanding, and her dress did not look like ordinary people, and it was these news that made Jinyiwei suspicious.

"This, this" Liu Laosan also panicked, he thought he was seamless, but in fact, he had already exposed his stuffing.

He was still going to die to the end, but he said quietly: "Liu Dazhuang, think clearly and then reply, if you are a fellow offender, not only will you lose your head, but your family will not want to live." ”

Liu Laosan broke out in a cold sweat when he said this, and his wife Liu was directly paralyzed in his arms, the two children were still ignorant, but when they saw their father and mother behaving like this, they all felt the same and cried, and the scene was not miserable for a while.

At this juncture, another villager came out of the crowd, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and mourning: "My lord! My lord! The villain is guilty! The villain is confused! I beg you to spare your life! ”

Ji Qianli glanced at him: "Oh? What are your sins? Let's hear it. ”

The man quickly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no! The villain is innocent! The villain is innocent! Today, Liu Laosan borrowed an oxcart from the villain, and the villain saw that he was honest on weekdays, so he agreed without asking! The villain doesn't know that he has anything to do with the Qin criminal! Spare your life! ”

"An ox cart."

Ji Qianli's eyes flashed, and he stared at Liu Laosan coldly: "Liu Dazhuang, what is the use of you borrowing an ox cart from him?" ”

"Villain, villain" Liu Laosan sweated like rain, trembling so much that he couldn't speak, the two little flag officers sneered, pulled out the knife and crossed the necks of his children.

The bright knife came out of the sheath, and all the villagers panicked and retreated one after another, and the lieutenant chief was also dizzy, such a stupid thing came out in the place under his jurisdiction, and he was afraid that the lieutenant chief would also come to an end.

Seeing the knife on the child's neck, Liu, who was about to faint, suddenly had strength, she pounced on the child to protect the child, and begged for mercy: "Don't hurt my child!" ”

The two little flag officials were as hard as iron, so they were naturally unmoved, and Liu cried to Liu Laosan with tears in his eyes: "Be in charge!" Is the life of an outsider more important than your child? ”

Ji Qianli stepped forward, squatted down, put his hand on Liu Laosan's trembling shoulder, and said softly: "Liu Dazhuang, this official never hurts the innocent, if you are willing to tell the truth, this official guarantees that your family will have no worries about your life." ”

"Me"

Liu Laosan is an ordinary person, in his heart, it is important to repay his kindness, but the lives of his wife and children are also not allowed to be lost.

Finally, Liu Laosan still recruited, and he told everything he had done in the past few days, including what Deng Wanshui asked him to do, and the direction in which the ox cart went.

Ji Qianli nodded with a smile and said: "Abandon the dark and turn to the light, even if you have a little brain, the official reminds you that if you want to live a good life, you can take care of the affairs on the rivers and lakes, that is not something you can mix." ”

"Let's go!" Ji Qianli turned around and got on the horse, beckoning people to leave, he had already seen the great merit beckoning to him.

The two little flag officers glanced at Liu Laosan's family on the ground, and asked Ji Qianli, "My lord, what should they do?" ”

Ji Qianli frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This official has words first, if you are willing to confess, you will not blame the past, let's go." ”

After that, Ji Qianli rode away, leaving the two little flag officers to look at each other in the same place, their expressions puzzled.

What kind of fame is Master Ji doing, wasn't that fooling people just now, when did they Jinyiwei talk so much, besides, it is true that the family harbored the Qin criminals, even if they Jinyiwei should not arrest people, shouldn't they tell the Shuntianfu Yamen to arrest them.

But since Ji Zongqi had already spoken, the two of them naturally didn't dare to say much, and each rode away, leaving only Liu Laosan's family, who were so frightened that they collapsed, hugged each other and cried bitterly, although they were in tears, but the stone in their hearts was really put down.
