The girl looked at Ye Ziyu on the opposite side blankly, and finally slowly recovered her senses, and nodded at Lao Yu, proving that what Ye Ziyu said was the truth.

Only then did the officials breathe a sigh of relief and relax their guard a little. After that, the old arrester led by the young man quickly asked the girl in detail about the general process of the murder.

According to the girl's description, it turned out that at the second watch last night, the family was sleeping soundly at home.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, followed by a rapid knock at the courtyard gate, and her brother-in-law hurriedly went out to open the door to see what was going on.

My sister hugged her and stayed in the house and waited for her brother-in-law to come back, but there were a few curses outside the door, and then the two sisters heard the roar of their brother-in-law, and the sound of a sharp weapon inserted into the human body "poof, poof".

The girl was so frightened that she was about to cry, but her sister hurriedly covered her mouth, and hurriedly put her into a large vat filled with water in the backyard, so that she could stay in it all the time, and she was not allowed to come out no matter what movement she heard, and she could only come out when the official came.

It was not long before the girl in the tank heard the door being kicked open, and then the hoarse screams of her sister came from inside the room, and at the same time there was the maniacal laughter of several men.

After a night like this, she didn't know when those people left, and she gradually regained some consciousness until Ye Ziyu shattered the water tank.

After hearing this, Lao Zhukuai frowned and asked, "Can you see the other party's appearance, size, and how many people are there?" ”

The girl shook her head blankly, if she could see what the other party looked like, how could she still stay alive.

When he was at a loss, suddenly another catcher ran in from outside the courtyard, and he ran to the old catcher and whispered a few words in his ear, and then retreated.

Lao Zhukuai's color sank after hearing this, and he pointed at Ye Ziyu and the girl and said, "Send them back to me." ”

After hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but look at each other, which one is this? Seeing that everyone was stunned and didn't move, he said angrily: "They are all deaf, lock them up for me and take them back to the yamen!" ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and put the chains on Ye Ziyu and the girl, Ye Ziyu just looked at the old catcher coldly, and did not resist, a catcher came over and took off the long sword in his waist, and the girl on the side was anxious and about to cry.

Ye Ziyu gently patted the girl's back and cast a comforting look at her.

He was going to see what tricks this old guy was going to play now.

The crowd of onlookers walking on the street pointed at the two of them, the girl lowered her head, her clothes were already soaked with water, and it was early in the morning, and the cold wind was blowing on the street, and the girl was shivering with cold.

After a while, they were taken to the county office in the town, only to see the catchers lined up on both sides, and after a "Wei ~~ Wu", a middle-aged fat man wearing an official robe walked out of the back hall.

The middle-aged fat man has two moustaches, and his small eyes are dripping and rolling, which is not a good thing at first glance.

He picked up the shocking wood on the table and slapped it hard, and shouted, "Who is in the audience?" Why don't you bow when you see this official? ”

The servants on both sides also knocked the water and fire sticks on the ground, and the girl was so frightened that she fell to her knees and cried: "My lord, the brother-in-law and sister of the people's daughter were killed by the strongman last night, and I hope that the adult will make the decision for me!" After speaking, he kowtowed the ground, and it was not all knocked firm, and after a while, his smooth forehead was already red.

The fat man rolled his eyes and asked, "Since it is murder, what evidence do you have to prove that your words are true?" ”

The girl was speechless, and after a while, she said timidly: "I hid in the water tank and heard with my own ears that gang of strongmen abusing my sister, and the bodies of my sister and brother-in-law can testify." ”

The middle-aged fat man laughed when he heard this: "Haven't you heard the phrase 'hearing is false, seeing is believing'? Since you haven't seen with your own eyes, where can you accuse others as evidence? ”

After speaking, the words changed sharply, and he said sharply: "According to the official's inference, I am afraid that you have taken a fancy to this foreign scholar and want to elope with him, but your sister and brother-in-law are not allowed, so you colluded with him to murder them, say it quickly!" Yes and no! ”

The corners of Ye Ziyu's mouth twitched, this logical thinking, this fat man can be called a logical genius, and such a bloody plot can be imagined.

The girl was already frightened, but now she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she knelt on the ground in a daze.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the fat county commander thought that his own inference had broken her conspiracy, and smiled proudly with his two mustaches.

Then he waved his hand, and asked the master on the side to put the written confession in front of the girl, and shouted: "Don't hurry up and confess your guilt, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin later." ”

There was an uproar all over the house, and such a method of reversing right and wrong was the first time even for those of them in the public family, only the old catcher's face was indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

Yang Zhen sighed in his heart, this little girl's family is also miserable, and Lord Zhang Shaocheng coincidentally went to her winery, and now it seems that even the little girl herself can't escape from the palm of Young Master Zhang's hand.

When I first started doing this business, I also thought about eliminating violence and peace and giving justice to the people.

But the ups and downs of decades have completely changed his original thinking, not that he is unwilling to be a fair and selfless head catcher, but that such a person is not allowed to exist in this world.

Just like once, a son-in-law brother from the capital ruined a yellow flower girl of the Orion family on the street, and when the father heard about it, he immediately came to the man with a hunting bow and tried his best.

I patted my chest and promised the father that he would bring that dumb boy to justice.

But in the end, the matter was over, and the little beast sat in the seat of the county lord and scolded them for a bloody squirt, he was young at the time, and he pulled out his waist knife and was about to come forward to fight with him.

Unexpectedly, before he reached within ten steps of the house, he was slapped away by a middle-aged man standing next to him, and his internal injuries have not healed yet, and he occasionally coughs up blood.

was about to be promoted to head catcher, but his future was cut off because of this draw. Originally, he was about to break into the martial arts realm of a second-rate master, and there was no hope of breaking through again, and he stopped here for the rest of his life.

And this is the price to pay for reasoning and morality with others.

But in the end, what does this so-called morality get in exchange? The daughter of that family died hanging from the beam, and Orion was randomly charged by the government with a crime and put in prison, and died in it within a few days, and the woman of that family was also mentally stimulated and became a crazy woman.

After that time, Yang Zhen completely changed, and the axioms of this world were in the hands of the strong, not the so-called morality.

The struggle of the weak often brings not justice or hope, but deeper despair, the weak can live in this world, it is already a gift from God, how can the strong be expected to have mercy on the weak?

For the strong, the weak are equivalent to ants on the ground, and a casual step on it can collapse the entire anthill.

Yang Zhen slowly retracted his thoughts, looking at the teenagers and girls standing and kneeling in front of the stage, the pity in his eyes flashed.

Ye Ziyu looked at the four big words "Mirror Hanging" on the top of the fat county order's head, and the corners of his mouth hooked a cold arc.
