56 He confessed his guilt and drew his sword in anger
Xie Yixiang couldn't help but take a deep breath, seeing that the girl didn't pay attention to herself, and she didn't want to hurt the innocent, she immediately said in a deep voice to the people present: "A large amount of grain has been transported into the city last night, which is enough for Ningyi City to last for more than half a month. Why do you knowingly do it?"
The people present did not answer, but continued to go to the cauldron to fish for meat and eat. After half a ring, a poor old man shouted: "If you eat human flesh, you will kill your head, and if you don't eat human flesh, you will starve to death! There is one death on the left and right, of course I would rather fill my stomach, and I must be a full ghost when I die!" A hungry old woman next to her immediately said: "Now there is food in the city, but it is to be reserved for the officials and military masters to enjoy, where is the turn of us poor people?"
When Xie Yixiang heard this, he was slightly stunned, looked back at the two sergeants who came with him, and asked, "Is this true?" One of the sergeants looked embarrassed and replied: "Lord Fang has already hoarded all the cattle, rice, wheat and yuba from last night in the yamen, saying that the rebels outside the city have not retreated, and the military disaster in Ningyi City has not been solved, so it is necessary to have to interrupt for a long time, so ...... Therefore food was distributed only to the soldiers who defended the city, to the officials of the yamen, and to the able-bodied men of the city, and to the rest...... Putting that aside for the time being, the grain delivered last night would be enough for us to last a month or two. ”
Xie Yixiang frowned slightly when she heard this, if she was her former self, she would definitely be furious when she heard this, and she immediately went to ask Fang Tieyi why she made this arrangement. But today's Xie Yixiang has gone through twists and turns, and she is no longer the little girl who was full of enthusiasm and ignorance of the world, so she naturally understands Lord Fang's hardships. At that moment, she just sighed secretly, and instructed the sergeant: "You will go to the yamen to inform Fang Dada, that there has been a famine in Ningyi City for a long time, and the most important thing at the moment is to calm the people's hearts, so as not to cause trouble and cause any civil strife, so first distribute the food sent last night to all the people in the city for three days." After three days, I will let the little Taoist send grain into the city again, and whether to continue to distribute food in the future will not be too late to discuss at that time. After that, she saw that the sergeant was a little hesitant, and sneered again: "Now that the sword seal of Taishou is here, it was handed over to me by your Lord Fang himself, are you worried that Lord Fang will not do what I order, or will he not go to pass the word for me?"
The sergeant was startled, hurriedly confessed, and went straight away. When the people in the courtyard heard the two of them, they were already a little moved, so Xie Yixiang struck while the iron was hot and said in a loud voice: "I must have heard my words, and soon the yamen will release grain to the whole city, and if you rush at this time, you will be the first to receive the food later; Speaking of this, her tone changed, and she said coldly: "The criminal arrest room is ordered to arrest the fugitive murderer, and the idlers and others will immediately retreat, otherwise they will be punished together!"
When the people present heard this, they were a little at a loss for a while, so they had to look at each other. After a while, a scrawny woman stood up and walked out of the temple, and the other people were eager to get up and leave. At last the girl was the only one left in the courtyard, sitting alone by the cauldron, but there was still a strange smile on her face. Xie Yixiang didn't dare to be careless, and asked the girl in a deep voice, "Are you going to be captured, or are you going to fight to the death?"
Only then did the girl raise her head, change her innocent face, and asked Xie Yixiang softly in a little girl's voice, "Why did my sister drive them all away? If you get rid of them, then I want you to play with me. Xie Yixiang gathered her mind and said slowly: "You, a murderer and cannibalistic villain, are intolerable, but who knew that you happened to catch up with the food shortage disaster in Ningyi City, so that you could take advantage of the situation and run rampant." It's a pity that a large amount of food has been sent into the city last night, and the Taishou Fang Iron Cloak has also explicitly forbidden the cooking of human flesh, and no one will shelter you anymore. Do you think that by pretending to be stupid, you will be able to escape today's catastrophe, and you will be able to leave this City God Temple alive?"
The woman was still full of smiles and asked, "What is my sister talking about, why can't I understand a word?" Xie Yixiang said coldly: "The Li butcher family in Yinshan Village in the eastern suburbs of Shaoxing, the man and wife surnamed Zhuji Chen, and the middle-aged couple who were bumped into by me in Ningyi City that night, do you still want to deny it? In addition, there are also two murders in Zhenjiang two years ago and Haozhou six years ago, are you also responsible? You are the 'human chef' who has been wanted by the criminal arrest room for the past six years. ”
Hearing this, the girl finally restrained her smile and said in a gloomy voice: "What's more? In the past eight years, the deity has been displaced from Guanzhong all the way east to Jiangnan, and has enjoyed hundreds of sacrifices, but how can there be only so many in the records of the torture and arrest room? It can be seen that ordinary people are extremely incompetent!"
Xie Yixiang couldn't help but gasp, she was going to test with words, but who knew that this girl not only confessed, but also claimed to have committed hundreds of cases with this strange voice, how could she not be surprised? But back to the biggest doubt in this case, after all, the girl in front of her was only six years old, how could she have started committing crimes eight years ago? Could it be that there was another person behind this girl? Or was it similar to the methods that Yan Sidao had used against him in the past, someone had caused this girl to have symptoms of "ghosts"?
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang immediately shouted: "Who are you? Like this, you are sneaky, hiding your head and showing your tail, borrowing the appearance of a six-year-old girl to do evil, what kind of hero is you?" But listening to the girl's giggles, she said in a gloomy voice: "A child under the age of six, even if he is convicted, the punishment cannot be increased, how can you wait for the deity? Even if the deity is brought back to the Jinling torture room, can it still be punished by the law and the deity cannot be punished?"
Xie Yixiang's heart was on fire when she heard it, and the voice made by the girl was eerie and terrifying, as if there was a demonic aura coming to her face, making her feel more and more uneasy. At that moment, she didn't want to continue to entangle with this girl, so she pulled out her waist and said coldly: "You can't help but underestimate me Xie Yixiang, although I serve in the torture room, I am not a person who eats the old and sticks to dogma, but is to punish the evil and promote the good, eliminate violence and peace! Like you, a villain who hurts nature and reason, there is no need for any torture room, I myself am the law!" When the words fell, she had already rubbed her body up, and waved a crimson knife light, to the girl in the yard with a knife.
You must know that although Xie Yixiang has moved to kill, there is room for the first knife, just to use the blade to cover the girl's neck, to see if she dares to be so rampant. Unexpectedly, seeing that the blade was still a few feet away from the girl, and the chaos in her hand was the same as in the yamen room before, she gave birth to a force of resistance for no reason, and actually made the knife she split stop in mid-air. Seeing this, the girl immediately sneered in a strange tone: "A mere mortal is also worthy of killing gods?"
