Chapter 63: Murder in public
"It looks a bit like the guy who stole my money bag, but not quite like it." Prince Maya touched his chin and tilted his head, pursed his lips and looked at him, looking frivolous, "This is not from your Wu County?" ”
He glanced at the absent-minded Nan Xiutong, and hurriedly said: "He is a member of the Tona clan, they ran back to Tona, and Sister Nan almost died on the spot in order to arrest them, if it weren't for the ...... If it weren't for Sister Nan's cleverness, we wouldn't have survived. Sister Nan was also injured because of this. "Before coming out, Sister Nan explained that she couldn't mention Ling Gongzi, they almost leaked their mouths.
"Isn't it normal to catch a thief injured? Women are troublesome, so don't learn from men to be head catchers! ”
Before he could say anything, Nan Xiutong interrupted him and said, "The prisoner has been brought, if the prince is not sure whether he was the thief that day, he can ask the people to testify, many people have seen his appearance that day." ”
In the crowd, Su Jingtang took a mouthful of watermelon and said to his aunt: "I saw it that day, it's this scarface, and some of you have seen it, right?" ”
Seeing that it was Su Jingtang who spoke, some people echoed whether they saw it or not, "Yes, yes, I also saw it that day, it's this person." ”
In Nanxiutong, he didn't get a good deal here, and Prince Maya walked down the stairs unhappily and kicked at the scar man: "The shameless thief stole my money bag and didn't look at who I was!" ”
The scar man fell to his side and stared at the prince in silence, and the prince thought he was provoking him, and he kicked him over a few times: "Do you want to go against me even if you are a thief?" ”
Nothing good has happened since the first day he stepped into the yamen, thinking that he was held in Maya for a long time, and when he arrived in Wu County, these Diao people went against his will one by one, first Nan Xiutong, and then what Miss Su and that bold man!
No matter how much the prince vented, the scar man didn't say a word, staring at the prince with his mouth open.
Nan Xiutong was worried about exposing Ling Nai, and immediately said: "This person's affairs need to be dealt with slowly, find out how much stolen money he has taken, and give an explanation to the people, if the prince is fine, we will immediately send him to the cell." ”
She glanced at the catcher, and pulled up the scar man, who protested silently with his mouth open, still staring at the prince.
The prince raised his foot to wipe his boots on the attendant, with a look of disgust: "Even the captured thieves are so backbone, your Wuxian is really good." ”
The scar man suddenly rushed forward, hugged the prince's calf, and opened his mouth to say something, but his subordinates looked scared, worried that the prince would lose his temper, and dragged the scar man hard.
"Wait, he's a mute?" The prince asked.
Catch quickly subconsciously said: "How could it be, he ...... a few hours ago"
"Less, send the prisoner away." Nan Xiutong interrupted the catch, less than shocked that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know where he was wrong, and he didn't dare to speak again.
The prince looked at Nan Xiutong and raised his hand to Xiao: "People stay first." Nan Xiutong's expression remained unchanged, and the prince smiled proudly as if he had caught a handle, "You won't join forces to deceive me, will you?" I know that your county government has no skills, they are all a group of guys who eat dry food, where can they compare to our elite soldiers and strong generals. ”
The officials in the court all looked at the prince, all of them looked dissatisfied, the prince was immersed in his own emotions, he didn't care what others thought of him, and asked the scar man with great interest: "You're not the thief, are you?" If not, you nod. ”
"It was a dereliction of duty to hurt his throat during the fight, and the prince did not have to deny his identity for this." Nan Xiutong saluted sincerely.
"I don't believe you." The prince's tone was straightforward, the county order took a few steps, and just as he was about to speak, the prince turned his head, "I don't trust you either, I only believe in myself." ”
The scar man didn't nod or shake his head, raised his hand to gessy, the prince immediately ordered his subordinates to take a pen and paper, the scar man could feel Nan Xiutong's gaze, he didn't dare to look back, full of anxiety, for fear that Nan Xiutong would stop him.
In a flash, Nan Xiutong pulled out a knife and slashed at the back of the scar man's neck, with a deep pain in his eyes.
"Sister Nan can't!" The catchers shouted and rushed over to stop it.
Killing people in the public court, this will not only lose their jobs, but also prison sentences, they all know how much effort Nanxiu has put in to be the head catcher, how many prejudices have been broken, they don't know about Ling Nai, and they don't understand why Nanxiutong is doing this.
A ball of anger hit Zhongnan Xiutong's wrist, the long knife fell, she suddenly came back to her senses, and the hand holding the knife kept trembling. Just now, she actually wanted to ruin her efforts over the years, not for the people, not for justice, but for selfishness.
She looked back at the crowd, there was no Ling Nai there, but she knew he was there, and he knew that her future was important.
In her ears was the prince's questioning voice, she didn't know how to answer, not only Ling Nai's smile in her head, but also the way her master patiently taught her.
"You, as a head hunter, are going to commit murder in public?" The prince looked surprised.
At this time, the attendant had already brought a pen and paper and sent it to the scar man, who shook his hand and wrote a line of words on the straw paper - head hunting and raising monsters.
"Nan Catcher Raising Monsters?" The prince looked at the words on the papyrus and asked aloud.
The people were in an uproar, and they all took a step back, Su Jingtang and Wen Xun, as well as half of the watermelon in her hand, became the most eye-catching existence in the crowd.
"Oh! Ling Nai made a move? Su Jingtang held the watermelon, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the white mass in the hidden place on the roof.
"If Ling Nai had killed that thief, there wouldn't have been so many things." Wen Xundao.
"Then Nan Xiutong can't say clearly." Su Jingtang disagreed.
"With Ling Nai's identity, where can't he live? It's just one more mortal. ”
Su Jingtang looked at Wen Xun seriously, with watermelon juice on his mouth: "Wen Xun, you can't think like this, Ling Nai knows what the position of head catcher means to Nan Xiutong, he can be his home all over the world, Nan Xiutong is different, she has a family and subordinates in Wu County, as well as the people she protects." ”
Her serious appearance made Wen Xun's heart beat faster, and the simple words cycled in his mind, he didn't have the slightest intention of choking with her, raised his hand and touched his hot ears, and said, "Hmm": "You're right." ”
She smiled, scooped a large spoonful of watermelon and raised her hand: "You can just listen to it, can you eat?" Yours. ”
Wen Xun looked back at the crowd, laughed, lowered her head and was about to eat, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and said, "So many people, are you really embarrassed to come over?" ”
"If you dare to give it to me, you can eat it."
The atmosphere between the two here is harmonious, and the atmosphere on the other side is deadlocked, Nan Xiutong stood in place like a piece of wood, looking at the piece of paper on the ground, and then looking at the people who were afraid or scolded, there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The county magistrate secretly wiped his sweat, and the prince squinted at him: "Does the county magistrate know about this?" ”
"Ah...... What's up? Monsters? This official has never seen a monster, and Wu County is so peaceful, how can there be a monster? Prince Maya, some thieves seem to be ordinary, but in fact they are all outlaws, and they have to pull their backs when they die, and Nan Zhutou is our beloved disciple of Xing Zhutou, and he is deeply influenced by Xing Zhutou, how can he raise monsters! The words of the county order are like a series of cannonballs, making people don't know how to respond, "Oh yes, the prince is so young, he rarely comes to Wu County, he shouldn't know Xing Zhutou, Xing Zhutou is the little old man who made great contributions to the court, sacrificed honorably, and was personally rewarded by the emperor for being knighted, and he is the hero of Wu County." ”
"My lord, don't mention Master, it's my own business." Nan Xiutong looked ashamed and didn't dare to look directly at the county order.
The county commander was drumming in his heart, and cold sweat broke out - this girl usually always says that she wants people and demons to live in peace, is it really stupid enough to raise demons to prove peace?
