A year ago, at the beginning of June, no boy about 10 years old was missing from the homes of people in the area near Ma's house.

Chang Jiu could only bring Ma Ling'er's bones back first, and at the same time, he didn't forget to bring back Ma Ling'er's parents.

"My lord, the place where Ma Ling'er's body is buried is in a corner gap in the mountains. It's really remote and almost rarely visited.

The subordinates didn't ask who else knew about that place, even Ma Ling'er's parents didn't know.

It was Ma's father who carried Ma Ling'er's body on his back and walked around at will, looking for a place far away from home, and accidentally found it.

The subordinates asked all the Ma family members to dig there all night last night, and dug up all the pieces, except for the bones of the boy, there was only Ma Ling'er's bones left. There shouldn't be any more mistakes this time...... Right? ”

If there is a mistake again, Chang Jiu is ready to throw the Ma family into the water to take a soak, when will he remember, and when will he come out again.

Di Ying went to examine Ma Ling'er's bones.

After the inspection, he nodded to Chang Jiu and said, "That's right this time, there is a high probability that the owner of this skeleton is Ma Ling'er." ”

Chang Jiu sat down on the ground with a "snort", kicked his feet back a few times, and fell asleep against the wall.

Di Ying then remembered that in the past day and night, she had never let these brothers rest, or even ...... I didn't even care about eating a meal.

He asked Nie Bo to arrange for the brothers to take turns while the rest of the people ate and slept.

I heard that I could finally sleep, but no one thought about going to eat first, and I didn't bother to go back to the room, so I went to Chang Jiu's side and followed the root of the wall, and lay down on the ground.

There is no sound of snoring, farting, grinding teeth, hiccups, talking nonsense, etc., no matter how tired or sleepy you are, you will sleep quietly.

It's a duty instinct to be a guard.

One of the instincts that was deliberately trained.

Seeing that Di Ying was so distressed, he was ready to ask Nie Bo to send everyone to the room on the second floor.

Nie Bo shook his head and refused.

He said, "My lord, they can be more comfortable when they fall asleep like this." ”

As he spoke, Nie Bo went to light the three charcoal basins in the lobby, and added more charcoal to burn vigorously.

Zhao San, who was on duty, went to the guest room to draw some quilts and put them on for the brothers.

Peng Liang went to cook some hot noodle soup.

You Twenty-Three threw the lewd old man next to the garbage can in the alley across the street.

Then go back to the inn to clean your hands and face, and eat noodles with the adults.

Di Ying was eating noodles and asked Ma Ling'er's father, who was nervous.

"Ma Ling'er disappeared for three days, and her body was found by the river and recovered. The river, on the southwest side of the town.

Your family lives in the southeast of the town, in the mountains southwest of the town, where Ma Ling'er's body is buried.

Ma Mu, can you tell this official: How did your daughter Ma Ling'er, who is only ten years old, go so far away on the day of her disappearance? ”

Father Ma was stunned by the question.

The look of surprise lingered on his face for a few breaths before he shook his head and replied, "The grass people don't know." That girl is an idle person, and she always likes to run around every day, not listening to what she says, and not listening to her beatings.

The grass people have to work, where is the time to keep an eye on her every day?

As for where she is buried...... The grass people have heard that those who die like her, and who are young, must be buried in a place contrary to their home, and the farther away the better.

The grass people carried her on their backs for a long distance and buried there. She died, and the grass people were also very sad, after all, they were all so old. But her affairs, the grass people really don't know. ”

"Isn't it clear? Are you sure? ”

Di Ying picked up a pair of chopsticks and noodles to dry, and asked Ma's father again by the way, and his tone was heavier.

Meant to be a reminder.

But Father Ma didn't hear it, and nodded vigorously there: "The grass people really don't know, my lord, the grass people are not lying." ”

Di Ying retracted her gaze and ate the chopsticks and noodles.

After drinking a few more sips of soup, he asked Ma Mu, who was shrunk behind Ma's father, "Sun, don't you know?" ”

Ma Mu Sun shrank there, shaking her head desperately.

Liu Liu looked at her fiercely and scolded: "When adults ask, they must speak out loud!" ”

Ma Mu was frightened and trembled, and then hurriedly replied: "Big, adult, the people's women don't know, they don't know how Ling'er's child ran so far that day." Really, really don't know. ”

Di Ying nodded.

He waved his hand casually and said, "So." Since you don't know anything, you don't know anything, so go to the torture equipment. I believe that if you don't suffer a little, this official will not be able to hear the truth. ”

After speaking, Di Ying looked at Zhai Hengyang, who was sitting there on the ground not far from him, tied up with a board and gagged.

Let him sit just so that he can be painful, so that he can clearly and clearly see the trial process of his own adult. This is Nie Bo's bad taste.

Di Ying also let him.

Just asked Xiang Zhai Hengyang out loud: "Are you familiar with this kind of case-handling process?" ”

Zhai Hengyang: "......"

He "whined" in his mouth, his body writhed twice, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a clear sound, and could only stare at people with his eyes.

Seeing this, Di Ying kindly helped him say it.

"Do you mean to ask me what kind of official I am?"

Seeing Zhai Hengyang nodding, Di Ying grinned at him and replied with three words: "You don't care." ”

Zhai Hengyang: "......"

This damn inexplicable familiarity!

But who is this man? Isn't it a bandit leader? Isn't it the king of the mountain? Or is the king of the mountain pretending to be an official to judge the people?

Are you full? Ma Ling'er's case failed to find out the clues herself, so can she rely on this mountain king?

"By the way, this official asks you, is this the way you tried the case? Come up and go through the court first, and then try it after the fight? ”

Zhai Hengyang, who was confused, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, he heard the question of the "Mountain King".

Zhai Hengyang shook his head and shook it vigorously.

He's not, he's not. He is a very close to the people, and he is a good official who is very willing to contribute to the people, so he will not indiscriminately beat the board of the lord's relatives.

But after shaking his head a few times, he stopped again.

He had an idea that if he really couldn't ask, he, he would do the same......

Suddenly there was a sense of shame. Inexplicable shame.

But the father and mother of the horse only have a strong sense of fear at this time. When he heard that he was going to be punished, he immediately knelt on the ground in horror and begged for mercy.

Di Ying ate the noodles, listened to their kowtows, and reminded lightly again: "Aren't you going to tell the truth yet?" You are the only ones who can save you. ”
