"A few adults, the old woman of this family is also pitiful, if Ah Man causes any trouble outside, the grass people dare to ask all the adults, for the sake of her age, don't affect her."

The village chief hesitated before, because he was worried that Aman, who had been missing for a long time, would cause trouble outside and implicate the old woman.

Not only Shi Beiyan, but Qin Huan was also observing the village chief's reaction.

There is something strange in Taoyuan Village, she doesn't fully trust the village chief, and now she is also half-truthing and half-truthful news.

However, for now, this village chief is quite a kind person.

She tugged at the corner of Shi Beiyan's clothes, Shi Beiyan glanced at her, and slowly spoke, "The village chief is too worried, Aman is a friend of his friends, and he came here to take care of one or two." ”

He took off his purse, walked inside, and sat on the steps next to the old grandmother, "Grandma." He said hello.

The old grandmother did not move, her eyes were glazed, and she kept sewing the thread in her hand.

Shi Beiyan looked over, the clothes she sewed were very large, and the clothes were sewn with four sleeves.

In front of the door, the village chief pointed to his head, "I don't remember anything here, the dress was sewn and dismantled, and it was dismantled, and I guess I was looking forward to my grandson." ”

Shi Beiyan asked a few words next to the old grandmother, but there was still no result, he put down his purse and walked back to the door.

The village chief sighed with emotion, "Childe's friends know where Aman is, if there is any news, I must let him come back to see." ”

"He didn't dare come back." Shi Beiyan used Aman's name to talk about Fang Ye's experience.

The village chief's face changed, "Why don't you dare, it's all from the same village, his grandmother is still here, won't he come back in this life?" ”

Shi Beiyan looked at the village chief, and his tone was soothing, "He said that the village wants to sacrifice him and burn him alive." ”

"Nonsense!" The village chief's eyes were about to pop out, and he spoke angrily, and his mouth was crooked.

"At the beginning, these two boys stole the sacred relics of the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and the village asked him to hand over the two things, but he just refused, and ran away with the holy relics, not to mention, they were still slandering our village outside!"

The village chief was angry and told him why he left the village back then.

Qin Huan, Shi Beiyan and Shi Yi were all stunned.

This statement is completely different from Fang Ye's.

According to what Fang Ye said, it was the village that sacrificed with living people, and wanted to sacrifice him and Aman, and the village chief actually said that these two people stole the sacred relics of the ancestors and fled with their things.

If there is a contradiction between the two, someone will lie!

Qin Huan opened his mouth and asked, "What holy relic?" ”

The village chief was angry, and his face turned red, "Actually, it's not a rare thing, it's just a night pearl, but in those years when the village was difficult, the night pearl was still bought by the whole village with money, but the two boys were greedy and stole it!" ”

"What do those two boys mean?" Shi Beiyan asked.

"It's Ah Man and Fang Ye, these two people were born with four arms, and the people in the village never disliked them, they were good, they stole things and ran away, and they didn't miss the same village at all!"

Qin Huan observed the village chief's speech and demeanor, "Is there really no living sacrifice in your village?" ”

The village chief was also anxious, "Sacrifice is a rule handed down by the ancestors, and the village will hold a sacrificial ceremony every year, but how can it be possible to use living people!"

If you don't believe me, you can go around and ask, there are hundreds of families in our village, and there are no people who don't know how to hold a sacrifice! ”

The village chief's voice was a little louder, and Yuzhou pierced Shi's eyes, and he kicked his feet when he went up, "The county lord is just asking you, what is your attitude!" ”

"County ...... Princess? The village chief was so frightened that he almost fell stupid, and his whole body was on the ground and kneeling, "The grass people have no eyes, and the grass people should die!" ”

"It's all right, get up." Qin Huan glared at the Yuzhou Thorn History, and the Yuzhou Thorn Shi received the county lord's eyes, thinking about how he behaved this time.

The village chief stood up tremblingly, and Qin Huan softened his voice, "The county lord is here to pray for his deceased mother, and he attaches great importance to the feng shui here. ”

Yuzhou Thorn Shi saw the stitches, "If there is a murder here, it affects the county lord to pray for the princess, see if the official does not level your Taoyuan Village!" ”

The village chief was so frightened that he knelt down again, "The grass people don't dare, the grass people have been the village chief for decades, and the village wants to talk about stealing chickens and dogs, and the grass people don't dare to hide it, there have indeed been, but if you want to talk about bloody murders, Taoyuan Village has never happened." ”

Qin Huan curled his eyes and asked, "How are you sure?" ”

"It's not a secret, there is a tradition in this village, but all the affairs in the village are in the village ancestral hall, which is handled by the grass people and the elders in the village, and if there is a dispute in the village, it will also be reported to the village ancestral hall.

No one has ever had an accident in the village over the years, so naturally there have been no homicides. The village chief explained.

Qin Huan's eyelashes moved, no wonder there was no case about Taoyuan Village in the files of the imperial court, it turned out that they didn't report it at all.

"Bold Pu Hong, set up a private torture hall in the village ancestral hall, can you be guilty?" She pretended to be stern, deliberately provoking the village chief.

The village chief's face turned pale and buried his head on the ground, "The grass people are guilty, but the grass people don't dare to deal with these things with full authority, if there is a dispute in the village, after the village ancestral hall has recorded it, it will also be reported to the county yamen, listen to the county order to decide, and Cui County will know all about this matter." ”

However, in the file of the county yamen, there is no record of Taoyuan Village.

Qin Huan slowly spoke, "Cui Peng is dead. What the village chief said is no longer provable.

"What, Lord Prefectural Order...... He's dead! The village chief was suddenly shocked, "But the county order was sent over yesterday." ”

"I was killed last night." Qin Huan lowered his eyes and looked at the village chief, "The county yamen does not have a file on Taoyuan Village, give you a day, if you can't hand in other evidence, the county lord can only take you down." ”

She stepped away.

Yuzhou Thorn Shi repeated what she said later, and also chased the county lord out.

Shi Beiyan stared at the trembling old man deeply, his eyes were distant.
