Qin Chong's words made people feel incredible.

How can you go to the memorial service at night? Chen Ping's face sank suddenly, and he felt that Qin Chong was teasing him. For the sake of Fan Fuzi's face, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, and slowly sat down. A young man who is not familiar with the world has his own lessons from his teacher, and he doesn't need to be a wicked person himself.

Fan Zhongwen was stunned for a moment, and then groaned. In his recent impression, Qin Chong has a city government and is by no means a reckless person. once used the classics of the Analects to skillfully retire from the troublesome readers; Again, even in today's court trial, there is already evidence in hand, but it is not willing to come out until the last moment.

Why is that? The art of war is cloudy, and it lures the enemy to go deeper.

He wanted to see what kind of net the people behind the scenes were weaving. Then, with clues, you can easily find out who framed him. How can such scheming be reckless?

"Tell me, why do you have a night memorial?" Liu Fuzi said.

"Mr. Hui, Qin Zhong does have a plan." Qin bowed heavily, and then said, "Although it has been ascertained, A'e's death has nothing to do with me. However, who A'e was forced to die by must be investigated. ”

"How are you going to check?" Chen Ping interjected and asked.

"There are gods in the head." Qin Zhong raised his hand and pointed to the sky, his expression cold. "How innocent is a weak woman, first repaid by her uncle, and then persecuted by others, throwing herself into a well and dying?"

"Qin Chong, the law is not guilty of words." Chen Ping understood Qin Chong's thoughts and said, "Even if someone really speaks coldly and causes A'e to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, my Great Song Law cannot be found guilty." ”

"County Zun Mingjian." Qin Chong knew that the law was not guilty of words. However, because of this, Qin Chong was even more resentful. "Although he cannot be condemned, he is frightened every night and condemned day by day."

Chen Ping gasped and looked at Qin Zhong again. Is this a teenager? It is like being oppressed, and his heart is full of resentment and anger. Frightened night and night, condemned day and day, but who can stand this? This is even more cruel than killing him. Just thinking about it, Chen Ping felt cold in his back.

"Hmm." Liu Fuzi coughed and stood up, "Zi said, repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue. Although Qin Chong's words are biased, they can be regarded as a deterrent. ”

Liu Fuzi has always been Gengjie, jealous and hateful. What Qin Chong said was exactly what he wanted. is such a disobedient person as HD, and dares to pay off his sister-in-law for gambling debts, but the law can't help him. Even if he is forced to die, he can still go unpunished and not punished. If everyone is like this, the world will not be in chaos?

Moral condemnation is also a means of Confucian education.

The weight of Liu Fuzi's words naturally far exceeded that of Qin Chong. Chen Ping opened his mouth and closed it in amusement. Just one thing, as for whether to go during the day or at night, it doesn't matter. It's just that, according to custom, no one does it. What's more, there is another layer of deterrence.

The memorial service was decided. Since the county is going, the county and the gang have to follow. You have to inform Xiaodongzhuang in advance and be prepared. It was almost noon, and it was supposed to be time for dinner. Now there are a lot of things waiting for Zhang Luo, don't eat food, and get busy one by one.

"Three full children." Qin Zhong called Sanfeng and ordered, "Go and order a good meal on the table." ”

Today's Qin Chong is no longer as straightforward as he used to be, and his mind is very lively.

Seeing the meal, he hurriedly greeted the meal. Can't you let the county and the two masters go to Xiaodongzhuang hungry, right? Besides, he himself has not eaten water and rice for several days, and he has long been hungry. Moreover, the two masters here today just take this opportunity to get close to the county honor.

Chen Ping accompanied Fan and Liu and went to the side hall to sit and drink tea. Qin Chong finally pulled out and rushed to the yamen. After seeing the excitement, the people are scattering from all directions. In the long crowd, how can there be that shadow? Qin Zhong looked at it for a long time, sighed in disappointment, and his mood fell to the bottom.

"Boy." Behind Qin Chong, there was a lazy cry.

Qin Chong turned his head and was suddenly surprised, and rushed over in three steps and two steps. The old ghost, He Wu'er, and the veterans of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, more than a dozen people were squatting in the corner, looking at Qin Chong with a smile. They didn't wear military uniforms, they were dressed as ordinary people. Behind him was bulging, apparently with weapons.

"With the guys, what are you going to do?" Qin Chong was used to them, and asked with squinted eyes.

"The old ghost wants to rob the prison." Someone said with a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by an old ghost in the ass.

"Old ghost, is it so good to me?" Qin Chong also smiled.

"Hmph." The old ghost turned his head and ignored Qin Chong.

Qin Chong smiled and squeezed to sit down beside the old ghost. His eyes were red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it, but the hot current in his heart still rushed to his throat, making him choked and unable to speak.

The old ghost wants to rob the prison, this sounds like a joke. However, Qin Zhong knew that the old ghost was afraid that he would just think so, otherwise he would not have brought a weapon today. Once Qin Chong was sentenced to prison, their group really dared to break in, rescue Qin Chong, and then fly away.

These rough men don't have so many calculations. They are good to one person, and they dare to go in the blood and fire.

"What a decision." Qin Chong muttered in his mouth, but tears overflowed his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go back." He Wu'er shouted, stood up and blocked Qin Chong. The boy leaves blood without tears, and Qin Chong's embarrassment of tears, if he is seen by these rough men, he will be able to laugh at him for more than half a year.

"We didn't come for nothing, one person and one jar of good wine, no less." The old ghost patted Qin Chong's head, suddenly changed his face like a profiteer, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.

"Enough, enough." Qin Zhong collected his mood and replied in a loud voice.

"Is this all over?" He Wu'er asked.

"There's still one finishing touch." Qin Chong smiled and said the matter of laying A'e at night.

"That Gao family forced people to death, it's really hateful." Someone was indignant.

"What kind of sacrifice is needed to make them frightened every night?" Someone can't figure it out.

"What else? Pretending to be a ghost. The old ghost pursed his lips disdainfully, he had already seen through Qin Chong's tricks. patted the dirt on his body, turned and left. He Wu'er and the others waved their hands at Qin Zhong and left one after another.

Seeing the old ghost and the others leave, Qin Zhong took a long breath, cheered up, and returned to the yamen.

Before the time, everything was ready, and I went out of the city to Xiaodongzhuang.

Xiaodongzhuang is not far from the county seat, four or five miles away. Chen Ping, the county honor, as well as Fan and Liu, sat in a carriage. Behind the car, He Yangyang followed the team. Not only the yamen officers, but also the gentry and wealthy households, all accompanied the county honor. After that, there was the lively crowd, which numbered hundreds.

Xiaodongzhuang has been notified, and Baozheng led the villagers and elders to greet them from afar.

Behind them, there were fifty or sixty men and women, all of whom were from Xiaodongzhuang Village, including the Gao family. After learning the news in advance, everyone in the village trembled. The matter of paying tribute at night is infiltrating when you hear it, but this is set by the county, and no one dares to question it. As soon as I saw the team, I was even more panicked.

"Son." Suddenly, an old woman burst out of the crowd and cried loudly.

This is HD's mother Tian, who suddenly saw HD, like a bolt from the blue. Dressed in shackles, he was escorted to the back of the carriage, and he fell many times along the way, his clothes were covered with mud and water, and his hair was miserable. Seeing the figure of his mother, HD struggled and screamed miserably, "Mother, mother." ”

Tian was stopped by the officials and could not get half a step closer to the carriage.

"Why are you arresting me? Why did you arrest me? Tian cried out, looking panicked.

"HD false accusation, has been detained, and the sentence will be announced at a later date." A burly man, dressed in civil official clothes, walked over with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice. When the surrounding officials saw him come forward, they all bowed down and saluted.

"I've seen Lieutenant Cai." Bao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Hmm." County Lieutenant Cai nodded, in response to Baozheng, and looked at Tian again, "Quickly get out of the way, the county is here to pay tribute to your daughter-in-law A'e, go back and prepare." ”

Tian was stunned when he heard this, and he was in disbelief.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses, sat on the ground with a wail and "plopped", and cried out with a handful of snot and tears. "You have arrested my son, how can the old woman live."

She blocked the road and cried so much, and finally alarmed Chen Ping.

He poked his head out of the car and asked, "What happened and why did it stop?" ”

Cai Xianwei walked a few steps quickly, approached the car window, and briefly explained the situation, Chen Ping suddenly frowned.

"Xu heard the wind, so he blocked the road and made trouble." Lieutenant Cai is quite experienced.

Chen Ping nodded, and so did his heart. The younger son was falsely accused of sitting back, and he was bound to be punished; The eldest daughter-in-law was forced to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, and she, the mother-in-law, was naturally the most suspicious. At this time, the people are most taboo about the ugliness of the family. Because once it spreads, the neighbors will fly for a long time, and they will not be able to look up and see people at all.

She stirred up so much, she must have been unwilling for everyone to enter the village, and took the opportunity to disturb the memorial.

"Pull people away and take them to the cemetery." Lieutenant Cai commanded.

"Yes." Several officials answered, walked over and set up the Tian clan and left.

At this time, the sky is already dark, the heat is gradually receding, and the coolness is coming. I walked along a poplar forest for about a quarter of an hour, but I didn't reach the place. But the road is getting harder and harder, winding and overgrown with weeds. In the forest, from time to time, strange bird calls are heard. In such a desolate place, my scalp is numb for no reason.

The dark oppression makes people nervous. Fortunately, at this time, Baozheng, who led the way, lit a torch. The flickering firelight illuminated the sheep intestine path and relieved everyone's hearts. Torches were lit one after another, and the long fire dragon was connected, and the surrounding light was bright, and it was finally a little more vibrant.

Qin Zhong supported Fan and Liu, one foot deep and one shallow, and slowly walked forward.

Now, I'm afraid everyone is scolding him, and Qin Zhong knows it. He doesn't care, though. Because, everyone who comes here has their own purpose. The county dignitaries should gain official reputation, their subordinates should flatter the officials, the gentry should be close to the government, and the merchants should curry favor with the officials. Which one is really here for A'e?

There are only two masters, and they are very simple-minded, thinking about educating the people.

After walking for more than a moment, he finally came to the ground, a deserted grassy hill.

"That's it?" Chen Ping suppressed all the way, and Dengshi became furious.

At this time, the world style attaches great importance to the affairs of the Yin House. There are a little conditions at home, all of them are properly built in the house, and there are more feng shui masters to guide them, and they look at the place where the Tibetan wind gathers qi. The Gao family is not poor, although the people are not prosperous, but they also have a house and land, and they also have a tofu workshop, so they will not even be able to afford a cemetery.

is so hastily perfunctory, buried in this messy grass, and even the tombstone is not erected?

"This is the cemetery of the Gao family?" Chen Ping's color is not good, and he asks Baozheng.

"The ancestral tomb of the Gao family, not here." Bao Zheng lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

"Why is A'e buried here?"

"This? This one? Bao Zheng was very hesitant, not knowing how to answer.

"Did A'e make a big mistake?"

"No, I didn't."

"Is there any unfilial piety?"

"No, I didn't." Bao Zheng had fallen to his knees.

"Hmph." Chen Ping snorted coldly and said, "Go, bring all the Gao family over." ”

In a moment, everyone in the Gao family was brought over, the Gao family brothers had three rooms, four generations of old, middle, young and young, there were more than 40 people, and the Tian family was also among them, hanging their heads and saying nothing. The other people looked different, some trembled, some indifferent, some full of shame, and some panicked, as if they had opened a dye shop.

"Who is in charge of the Gao family?" Chen Ping asked.

When an old man in the front row heard this, he took two steps forward tremblingly and bent down to salute.

"The second little Gao Tai, I have seen the county honor."

"The official asked you, why is A'e buried here?"

"This, this." Gao Tai's mouth stumbled, and his face was flushed, but he couldn't answer for a long time.

"That slut doesn't keep the way of women, and he can't enter the ancestral grave."

Chen Ping frowned, followed the sound, but it was Tian who spoke, and at this moment, he was staring at the grave in the distance, still full of resentment. Gao Taiqi's beard trembled, and he turned around and shouted angrily, "Shut up." ”

"Where does A'e not keep women's morals? It's not that you've been plagued by your son. Not far from Tian's side, another middle-aged woman said. After that, he pursed his lips disdainfully, with a look of disgust.

"You dirty, see if I don't rip your mouth apart." Tian was like being stepped on by the tail, and when he landed, he exploded, and it was a slap when he rushed over. The two women refused to give in, grabbed their hair and tore it in one place.

The two of them have their own good feelings, and they all come over to help. There are those who pull the bias, and there are those who play the black hand. There are more and more people involved, and the formation is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know which mother-in-law suffered a loss, but she provoked a man to do it. This time it's good, and the men from other families also rushed over. Screaming and scolding, there was a big mess.

Chen Ping's eyes widened, he was already stunned, where had he seen this battle.

Qin Chong looked at it coldly, and became more and more unworthy of A'e. A person silently walked to the grave, looking at the small handful of loess, only a few days, a lot of weeds have grown, swaying with the wind, sad and difficult to understand. In a trance, Qin Chong seemed to see A'e again, still the same as that night, helpless eyes, and bleak shoulders.

"Sister-in-law, your soul is not far away, look at this group of pickled goods." Qin Zhong said softly, but his heart was like a flame, and he couldn't wait to gush out and burn the viciousness in this world.

Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the forest.

"You're going to give me my life." A sharp female voice with a long trill.

Suddenly, the chaotic crowd suddenly quieted down, and they looked at the forest in horror, and their bodies had begun to sift through chaff. That scream, unusually clear and high-pitched, was heard by everyone. Many of the faint of heart have begun to flee into the distance. When everyone was anxious, a white shadow floated up from the forest.

"You're going to give me my life." The screams were terrible, as if they were coming from the Nine Hidden Underworld.

"Mother." At this moment, both men and women, young and old, were terrified and fled like crazy.

Qin Chong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart, good Yunni, you really came.
