After describing in detail the dark shadow he saw that night, Ji Liu fell to the ground and covered the look of surprise on his face.

"You mean the shadow draped his hair around his waist?" After Wen Yuecheng heard her speak, he seemed to suddenly open up, but a new question surfaced in his mind, and he continued to ask, "Are you sure it's a man?" ”

The dark shadow of that night had already passed over and over again in Ji Liu's mind, and in the dim environment, she might have mistaken her appearance, but her walking posture would definitely not be wrong.

She nodded and said, "Minnu is sure." Although the man was hunched back, he could see that he was tall, and his back was straight, his steps were even, and there was no panic at all, and he would definitely not be a woman. “

Wen Yuecheng listened to her and didn't ask immediately, he leaned sideways on the back of the chair, his slender white fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and it seemed to hit Ji Liu's heart hard, and she couldn't help but bury her head lower.

She lied, she saw much more than that, but at this time Ji Liu did not regret it.

With the regular tapping sound of Wen Yuecheng's fingers, time passed slowly, and the rain gradually became smaller, and he suddenly asked: "What you brought may be the key clue to solve the case, and you can come in by reporting it to the porter, why bother to knock on this drum of injustice, and take twenty strokes in vain, but it makes Lord Ben feel uncomfortable." ”

"The folk girl is guilty," Ji Liu held back the trembling on his body, and said the resignation he had already thought of: "The first time the folk girl encountered this kind of thing, she was really flustered, and before that, she even thought about rotting the events of that night in her stomach and taking her grandfather back to the village. ”

Failure to report what is known is regarded as a serious crime, and Jingguo has never tolerated such people.

The law says that if anyone who does not report it, if it is discovered, it will be dealt with as an accomplice.

Ji Liu paused after speaking, she didn't hear Wen Yuecheng talk, so she could only continue to worry: "Who knew that just about to set off, thunder was everywhere, I think it was the gods who didn't look down on the people's daughter's behavior, and they were reminding the people's daughter." ”

"The folk girl knew that it would not be tolerable to conceal it, so she arranged for her grandfather and notified the uncle who sent us back and rushed over immediately." Ji Liu recited the words that had been prepared fluently, three points true and seven points false, but Wen Yuecheng couldn't make a mistake for a while.

He raised his eyebrows, put away the fox and said suspiciously: "According to what you said, these twenty boards are really not wronged. ”

"You send the old man back to the village and come back, before the case is over, you will live in the county government and wait for the summons at any time," after speaking, he looked up and down at the soaked coarse linen clothes of Ji Liu, and said intimately: "Since it is for the justice of the imperial court, the cost of coming and going from the yamen during this period is out of the yamen." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Ji Liu couldn't help but be happy, she bent down and knelt on the ground, not daring to show her horse's feet, and kowtowed as if grateful: "Thank you to the county lord, the people will try their best to help, I hope the truth can be brought to light as soon as possible." ”

Wen Yuecheng arranged for two officials to follow Ji Liu to escort Ji back to Lotus Village, and he himself immediately went to the place where Li Yu was imprisoned and found Sheng Li after this matter was settled.

At this time, Li Yu had already been tortured, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, not much, more like he couldn't hold the punishment and bit his lip and flowed out.

In fact, Li Yu, who was like ashes, would not be tortured at all, but she admitted that she did everything, but she couldn't explain the weirdness of the whole case.

It wasn't until Wen Yuecheng brought the news of Ji Liu to Sheng Li's ears that he removed the wooden board that trapped Li Yu and said casually, "What's the use of you dying here?" Your scumbag came to the door to testify, saying that you forced him to kill people and throw his body, is it worth it? ”

Sheng Li thought that by doing this, he would be able to hide the identity of the corpse thrower when Li Yu was unconscious.

But Li Yu's reaction was unexpected, whether it was a slightly frowning brow or a pair of eyes full of doubt, it reminded them of one thing: Li Yu did not have a head, and someone else threw the corpse.

Sheng Li and Wen Yuecheng glanced at each other, and they arranged for someone to send Li Yu to Zhaofeng Prison, and asked the escorted officials to inform the cell boss that they would take care of Li Yu and not let Li Yu have an accident.

Sheng Li stood respectfully beside Wen Yuecheng, and without waiting for him to speak, he immediately said: "My subordinates will send someone to inquire about Li Yu's surroundings to see if they can find out the man who is related." ”

The wind and rain outside the county office have stopped, and Ji Liu stepped out of the gate in small steps, if he accidentally touched the injury, he would grin his teeth.

"Only then did I know that it hurt," Aunt Zhang, who was waiting outside the county office, said distressed when she saw her pale appearance: "You deserve it, see if you dare to beat that drum at will." ”

Ji Liu listened to Aunt Zhang's concern, hehe smirked, and suddenly thought of something, she asked the two officials to go to the Fulai Inn and pick up Ji.

After seeing them leave, he reminded him loudly: "Aunt Zhang, don't talk about my acquaintance with Sister Yu for the time being." ”

"I'm provincial," Aunt Zhang knew that Ji Liu was desperately trying for Li Yu this time, and she couldn't help but beat a little drum in her heart: "If Lao Qian is really killed by Mrs. Li......"

Aunt Zhang's words were not spoken, and Ji Liu knew it, but since she had made up her mind, she must not turn back casually.

"Aunt Zhang, I'll do the rest by myself, you don't care," To be honest, Aunt Zhang was just a meeting in Pingshui for her, and she was very moved to be able to do this, and she must not cause trouble to people anymore: "Your daughter is a master, and she can't drag you down and affect her reputation because of this matter." ”

While speaking, the two officials had already brought Ji Mou, and they each carried a package, Aunt Zhang saw that someone was coming, so it was inconvenient to say anything more, so she said hello and left.

"Didn't you say you went back to the village? Why is it still involved in the murder case? Ji said anxiously.

"It's not involved," Ji Liu thought for a while, and explained to Ji Mou: "It's just that I found some strange places before, and the county lord asked me to assist them in the investigation, and when the case is over, I will go back." ”

"Okay, stay safe yourself." The grandfather and grandson took a carriage back to Lotus Village.

After Ji Liu cleaned up the house, he explained that he returned to the county government of Zhaofeng County with the two officials.

The official took Ji Liu to the arranged guest room, and on the way, he happened to meet Sheng Li and Wenyue Cheng who went to the backyard for dinner.

"I've seen two old men." Ji Liu didn't understand the rules and etiquette, so he just nodded at the two.

Sheng Li saw the somewhat haggard woman in front of him through the mask, and he was surprised: "Why are you?" Why are you here? ”

"Yo, you two know each other?" Wen Yuecheng heard Sheng Li's doubts, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't told him about Jiliu living in the county ya: "This is the girl who beat the drum of injustice, I forgot to tell you, before the case is over, she will live in the yamen and assist in the investigation of the case." ”

Then Wen Yuecheng patted Sheng Li's shoulder, and said to him like a joke: "I will arrange for her to be next door to you, and I will trouble Xiao Lizi to take care of it twice more during this time." ”

Sheng Li was used to Wen Yuecheng's irregular convulsions, so he ignored him.

Wen Yuecheng was also accustomed to seeing Sheng Li's unresponsive face, even if he ignored it completely, it didn't matter, he raised his finger, pointed at the two officials behind Ji Liu, and tapped the void with one hand, and said: "The little lady was drenched in heavy rain at noon, and she was beaten on the board, you two are good, you don't even have to leave the effort to change clothes for others, you should be beaten!" ”

The two officials hurriedly confessed, but it was just a scene, Wen Yuecheng did not continue to investigate, and said to Ji Liu with a smile: "Miss Ji, Xiao Lizi and I are about to go to dinner, if you want, you can change your clothes together." ”

Ji Liujiang leaned on his side, leaned back vaguely, and then leaned over and agreed: "Thank you to the county lord, the people's daughter will arrive later." The person in front of her beat her board, it is necessary to eat a few meals from him, you can't cheapen this meal in vain, and maybe you can hear some news from Li Yu.

Is this medicine?! It's never too late to serve after eating!!

Ji Liu didn't care about the surprise of a few people, she followed the official to the pre-arranged room, changed her clothes, and took a look at the place where the board was played twice, it was red, and it hurt like cramps when she moved twice, but fortunately the skin was not broken, otherwise she wouldn't want to eat dinner.

After she cleaned up and opened the door, the two officials who picked her up were guarding the door, Ji Liu faced them, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and said, "Hard work, take the people to dinner." ”

The two in front of the door glanced at each other, and the tall man leaned over and replied: "The girl is polite, in Xia Zhaozhuang, his name is Zhang Wen, and he doesn't dare to be called an adult." ”

"Zhang Wen, I'll show Miss Ji the way, you go to eat first," Zhao Zhuang said to Zhang Wen, "I'll come later." ”

Zhang Wenzhu retreated, and Ji Liu followed Zhao Zhuang to the front hall of the inner house for dinner.

As soon as she entered the front hall, the two men sat opposite each other, and Ji Liu stood there and glanced at the dishes on the table, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Remember the girl to sit, you're welcome, there are not so many rules here for this adult." Wen Yuecheng didn't expect Sheng Li to say hello from his mouth, so he could only get up and prepare to lead Ji Liu into his seat.

Ji Liu hurriedly sat down nearby, and said bluntly: "It's troublesome to the county government, just let the people come by themselves." ”

Sheng Li sat on the side early, seeing her in a hurry, like a rice worm that fell into the rice bowl, he thought that he was well hidden, but he was actually exposed to them, and his careful thoughts were unobstructed, and he tried his best to hold back a smile.

- Where don't you dare to trouble Wen Yishun, she obviously found that the meat is on one side, and the other side is just vegetables.

Ji Liu said, carefully sucking her saliva, her eyes fixed on the plate of roast chicken near her.

Wen Yuecheng has always been smart, especially when dealing with people and things, the aura is abnormal, Sheng Li thought that even he could find out that Ji Liu's heart gave the plate of roast chicken at this time, it is impossible for Wen Yuecheng not to find out, he still has endless words.

"Remember girl, my surname is Wen, you can call me Brother Wen." Sheng Li sometimes really admires Wen Yuecheng's cheekiness, as a literati, he can't find the loftiness and arrogance at all, but he can't forget to talk about being a literati.

Ji Liu laughed embarrassedly twice and shouted, "Lord Wen." ”

"Oh, they all said to call me Brother Wen, good sister, call Brother Sheng to listen." Sheng Li really couldn't stand it, this guy couldn't do any work except to lose face, he kicked Wen Yuecheng under the table to remind him to be more restrained.

Wen Yuecheng's leg was attacked, and he was finally willing to move his gaze, glanced at Sheng Li, and pouted.
