Chapter 10: The Three Counties Case (4)

"You guessed I was here. Li Yuan, the head catcher, smiled bitterly, he didn't think there was anything unusual, he was indeed hiding in Di Renjie's house these days.

At first, he didn't dare to make any moves, and he hid in the firewood room during the day, always worried about being searched by the officials.

Di Renjie noticed that Li Yuan's face was a little pale, his lips were also a little chapped, and he looked a little sick and weak, so he asked, "Injured?"

He didn't mention that Li Yuan was wanted by the county government, and Li Yuan didn't ask either, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two sides, after all, the two had also gone through life and death together before, and this kind of trust was a little different, which may also be the reason why Li Yuan, the head catcher, didn't go anywhere and hid in Di Renjie's house.

Li Yuan, the head catcher, nodded slightly: "Two days ago, I went out to buy some things and was discovered, and I had a fight with Lin Zhutou from Nayilin County, but I was anxious to run, and finally suffered some minor injuries, and he was also injured." “

Di Renjie looked at the little girl who had been hiding behind Li Yuan, the head catcher, and looked inquiring.

Li Yuan, the head catcher, touched the little girl's head and said, "This is my friend's daughter, he entrusted me before, I must take care of her." “

Di Renjie subconsciously said, "Moon Demon Gate?"

Li Yuan, the head catcher, hesitated for a while, and finally relieved himself, and said: "Yes, my friend was from the Moon Demon Gate before, but long before the imperial court swept the Moon Demon Gate, after meeting his wife, my friend had already taken his wife away and flew away, so the Moon Demon Gate had also sent people to hunt them down, so strictly speaking, they were no longer from the Moon Demon Gate." It's just that I also know that the court won't listen to these truths. “

Di Renjie remained silent: "What about after that?"

There was a firmness in the eyes of Li Yuan, the head catcher, "As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt my wife and children, and now my friend's wife, that is, the child's mother, has died, and she herself has nothing to do with the Moon Demon Gate, or rather, it is because of her that my friend lost his way and quit the Moon Demon Gate, but now the child's mother died in the hands of the imperial court, is there any heavenly reason? His wife and daughter didn't know that he was from the Moon Demon Gate before, how could this talk about the remnants of the Demon Gate?"

In the end, Li Yuan, the head catcher, was very excited, the court would rather kill the wrong than let go of him felt very cold, he was usually jealous and hateful, honest and righteous, but there was also a kindness in his heart, and it was because of this that he was loved by many people in Changping County.

Now that the Sanyin Divine Mansion has taken action to kill the little girl's parents, and he, Li Yuan, as the best friend of the child's father, is even more treacherous at this moment, the child has not done anything wrong, and he doesn't even know anything, why should he die?

The head catcher Li Yuan was hiding in Di Renjie's house, and he also had another idea in his heart, Di Renjie was resourceful, he wanted Di Renjie to give him advice and relieve the crisis, but he also knew that this was an extremely risky act, not to mention whether Di Renjie would report him, even if he didn't report it, there was no need for others to gamble their lives for themselves, because after helping himself, he Di Renjie was almost equivalent to an accomplice.

Di Renjie looked at the little girl, leaned over and beckoned and said with a smile: "Come, come to the big brother's side." “

His smile was very gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and Li Yuan, the head catcher, also smiled at this time: "Xiaoyue, it's okay, Brother Di is a good person." “

"Xiaoyue?" Di Renjie looked at Li Yuan, the head catcher.

At this time, the little girl walked up to Di Renjie and said, "Hello big brother, my name is Wei Xiaoyue." “

She is very rusty and a little scared, but she is very smart, she knows what Uncle Li has paid to protect her in the past few days, so she has always been very sensible, even if she didn't eat or drink for two days and two nights when she started to hide, she didn't say a word, she was very strong and well-behaved.

Di Renjie touched the little girl's head, smiled gently, and the little girl gradually let go of the fear in her heart, since Uncle Li chose to trust the big brother in front of her, then she also had to trust Uncle Li, the logic of the child is very simple, whoever is good to her, she will be good to whom.

Di Renjie looked up at Li Yuan, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Li Yuan shook his head, "I don't know, if I hide like this, I will definitely be found, if I am really found by then, at least, I will die in front of the child first." Although I, Li Yuan, am not a heroic hero, I more or less know that there is faith and righteousness in this world, and since my friend entrusted my child to me, I must do my duty, even if I am broken!"

In fact, Li Yuan is ready to die, who is in the Sanyin Divine Mansion in Changping County, he knows better than anyone else, even if it is a powerful immortal cultivator, they must abide by the law in front of the Sanyin Divine Mansion, and the matter of the Demon Gate has always been a thorn in the eye of the imperial court, because these are the sources of trouble, almost some large-scale treacherous cases, and finally the hands will be involved in those hidden Demon Gate Demon Sects, most of these people are demon cultivators, and they are despised by the righteous path, so the Dongyue Imperial Court will not let it go.

Di Renjie slowly stood up and said, "You came to me, in fact, you also trusted me and wanted me to make a plan for you to avoid this hurdle, right?"

Li Yuan, the head catcher, showed a bitter look on his face, "I have no other way, I made a big mistake before, I was noticed in Yilin County, otherwise I wouldn't have stepped into our Changping County in the first place, and now the Quartet is strictly guarded, I am injured again, it is impossible to escape with the child, besides, where can I escape to? Escape to the realm of the demon clan, it is a dead end, and I am not familiar with the outside world, even Lin'an City has only been to two or three times." “

Di Renjie nodded, but at this time, Wei Xiaoyue took Di Renjie's hand and asked, "Big brother, will you hand me over Uncle Li and me to those villains?"

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, then touched Wei Xiaoyue's head and said, "Don't worry, big brother won't." “

He Di Renjie was originally a Confucian student, and when he knew the words of faith and conscience, he would not be able to cause trouble to his wife and children, and the court was indeed too ruthless in this matter, and it was really against heaven and heaven to kill them all in such a hurry.

Li Yuan, the head catcher, said at this time: "In fact, it is understandable for the imperial court to do this, because there was indeed a similar incident decades ago, when the government detective who was responsible for sweeping up a demon sect moved his compassion in the end and left a child in the demon sect, but he never thought that the child hated deeply, and when he grew up, he wantonly killed the people of Dongyue, and confronted the imperial court, although he was finally killed by the imperial court, but the disaster that occurred was irreparable, so since then, cutting grass must be eradicated has become an iron law of the imperial court." “
