He swept the surroundings with the peripheral light of his eyes, and sure enough, there were torture rods inserted on the wooden fences on both sides, and the torture rods were of different sizes, and there were about twenty of them.

The smallest one looked several times thicker than his own flat pole, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.

After another two pillars of incense, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and asked the official on the side in a low voice: "This official, I don't know what you mean by bringing us to the court." ”

The officer glanced at him with lowered eyes, but he didn't squeak.

Yu San still wanted to ask, but Aunt Yu on the side stretched out her hand and pulled him, signaling him to stop talking, and Yu San had to give up.

The family of three knelt on the ground in the same posture, and knelt for about half an hour, and finally a few people walked in when their sons were crying bitterly.

When Yu San heard the footsteps and looked up, he couldn't help but feel stunned when he saw that the leader was not the county magistrate but a young man who was not a few years older than his son.

The young man did not wear an official robe, but the luxurious robe was not an ordinary flat-headed common man at first glance.

Seeing him raise his head to look at himself, the young man's narrow eyes glanced at him coldly, his gaze was not angry and arrogant, Yu San was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

Zhao Yan's eyes skimmed over the two people who kowtowed in front of him, his eyes stopped at the young man in the back, then he twisted his eyebrows, turned his head to the errand not far away and asked, "I asked you to bring Yu Xin here, what about the people?" ”

Yu Xin at the bottom heard him call his name, and knelt forward hesitantly: "Little ...... Small Yu Xin. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed into a slit, he took two steps forward to the strange young man, bent down and looked at him: "You said you are Yu Xin?" ”

Yu Xin nodded again and again.

"Yes...... It's ......"

"Wrong...... Wrong ......" Zhao Yan shouted twice, and the official who was doing the errand for him heard the words, so he stepped forward and asked: "Lord Zhao, Yu Xin in the roster is him, and his subordinates don't know what is wrong?" ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, a hint of danger flashed in his black eyes, and as soon as he raised his foot, he kicked Yu Xin in front of him to the ground, followed by another kick.

Yu Xin was so frightened that he cried and called his mother, and Aunt Yu was anxious to protect her son, so she rushed up to block her son and kept kowtowing to Zhao Yan and begging for mercy: "Adults spare their lives, children are young and ignorant, beg adults to spare their lives." ”

Zhao Yan stared at her and asked, "Then tell me, if he is Yu Xin, then who is Yu Xin of Ancient Phoenix Mountain?" ”

Aunt Yu suddenly realized that the girl who dared to go up the mountain to serve on her son's behalf had committed an accident. Finding someone to impersonate is to be punished, and for a while, Aunt Yu couldn't make up her mind how to deal with it, and secretly looked at her husband.

Zhao Yan had already lost his patience, and when he saw the two of them frowning at each other, he couldn't help but be furious, and he said with a gloomy face:

"Don't say yes, come on, pull this kid down and scold him for twenty."

The two errands strode forward, and without saying a word, they dragged Yu Xin out, and Yu Xin screamed in fright.

As soon as she heard that her son was going to be punished, Aunt Yu was so frightened that she was incoherent on the spot: "My lord...... I...... Spare my life, I said, my lord, I said ......"

Zhao Yan made a gesture, and the two executioners let go of their hands.

Aunt Yu glanced at her son, covered her face and cried:

"My lord, we don't want to, it should have been the child's father who went up the mountain to serve, but when the conscripts arrived at our house, they saw that my man was lame and asked my son to go up the mountain, but my son had just turned fourteen years old, and he was still the only seedling of our old Yu family for three generations; After...... Later, the child's father heard from nowhere that someone died there after going to Guhuang Mountain, and when he came back, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and there happened to be a family who went to relatives to pass through us, and he was exhausted, and he was sick and urgently needed silver, so I discussed it with the child's father, and spent money to find their family to impostor. ”

Zhao Yan stared at her and asked, "Isn't there a male in their family, why did they let a woman go up the mountain?" ”

Meng Qi, who was standing not far away, heard his words, and couldn't help but show surprise on his face, this Zhao Fu is actually a woman?

"There is one who is the same age as Yu Xin in my family, but that is also the only son in their family, I am afraid that I am reluctant, so I have to let my daughter replace him."

Zhao Yan frowned: "Who is the surname of this family, and where is it now?" ”

Aunt Yu truthfully said: "The little one only knows that it is a family surnamed Xu, they have a family of six, after the daughter went up the mountain, the other five people stayed in our village for half a month and left, I heard that they went to Mozhou to join relatives, except for these, the other villains don't know." ”

That genuine Yu Xin is as timid as a mouse, his mother is talking, he has been crying and crying there, Zhao Yan saw that he couldn't ask anything, glanced at Yu Xin and then waved his hand impatiently: "Drag it down, this man will reward ten boards, and after the fight, the three of them will be imprisoned together, and one will be punished according to the crime." ”

The executioner answered and dragged Yu San, who was the parent, down.

"Daddy kid...... The child's father...... My lord, we have been wronged, my lord......" Aunt Yu cried and shouted on the side.

Zhao Yan was annoyed, turned around and walked inside, and as he walked, he confessed to Meng Qi behind him: "You heard everything, go, find out the person for me according to this information." ”

Thinking of Zhao Fu's girl, Zhao Yan was so angry that his teeth itched, and he vowed to find this dog slave and tear her apart with his own hands.

Meng Qi listened to the instructions and was very embarrassed: "My lord, Mozhou is not big or small, and finding a person with a surname is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan glanced sideways and said cruelly at him: "Is it difficult to use you?" Find it for me, and if you can't find it, bring your head to you. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Meng Qi had no choice but to take on this thankless errand......

In the evening, the villager Tiezhu carried a load of firewood to his second uncle's house, and when he walked halfway up, he saw Li Damao and Huzi from the same village chatting at the bridge, and he greeted the two from a distance and left.

When he sent the firewood to the second uncle's house in the neighboring village and turned back, the two of them had not left, so they went over to chat with the two of them.

Knowing that it was the matchmaker's good aunt who told Li Damao about a family matter, the two of them were guarding the bridge, so they wanted to secretly see what the girl looked like.
