Before, Hou Hu and Hou Hou, who were investigating outside, found some clues and gave them back to Mu Yirong, so Mu Yirong came here with Seocho.

The solitary melon shelter in the field is very simple, made of wood and planks, and the cracks of the planks are sealed with mud underneath, and play a fixed role.

The shack was covered with dry straw and looked very sturdy, but it was actually ventilated everywhere.

Anyway, watching melons is only in the hot summer, and it is not necessary to keep warm when living in it, and it is more conducive to enjoying the coolness by ventilating it.

Seeing that there are no other buildings around the melon shack, there is a large water tank holding water on one side of the shed, Mu Yirong approached the water tank, gently lifted the wooden cover on it, and saw that there was half a tank of pure water inside, so he looked towards the door of the shack again.

There was a wooden pole more than half a man high with a hemp rope to tie the dog, but the dog was not to be seen. In the dog food basin on the ground, you can see the remaining rice and vegetable soup, which is dry and sticking to the basin with a gap missing.

In the low and narrow shack, a voice could be faintly heard, and Mu Yirong pulled Seocho like two cats on the roof, tiptoeing closer.

Looking inside from the gap between the wooden planks of the melon shack, you can vaguely see a figure, and from the sound that it can be recognized, it is two people.

A woman with a soft voice and a crying voice sobbed and complained: "Master, what do you think, you have a good day, why do you have to cause such a thing." What should I do now?"

A man's aggrieved voice rang out: "I don't want you and your children to have a good life yet. If you have money, you don't have to worry about anything in the future. ”

"If something happens to you, how will my children and I live in the future, how can you let us live!"

The aggrieved man sighed loudly, and then seemed to drop something on the ground with a "bang".

"It's all my greed, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this!"

The woman sobbed louder: "The head of the house, now that someone is dead, what do you say to do?"

"Dead people are not the key, the point is that I can be killed too. ”

When the woman heard this, she cried even louder, and Mu Yirong, who was standing outside, gave Seocho a look, and Seocho immediately took two steps back and stood by the only window of the shack that opened eastward.

Mu Yirong flashed to the door, raised his legs, and kicked the door of the melon shed open.

When the people inside heard the movement, a figure immediately rushed to the window like a frightened weasel stealing chickens from the chicken coop.

It's a pity that the window of the melon shed is too small, and the body of the person who jumped out is stuck on the window, half of the body is inside, half of the body is outside, which is very funny.

Seocho, who was standing outside the window and waiting for the rabbit, raised his hand and slapped it on the shiny forehead of the man who was stuck in the window.

The man squatted on the ground in the melon shed with a big buttocks, grinning in pain, and then when he met Shangmu Yirong's gaze, he jumped up from the ground with a frightened face, rushed to the door, and wanted to grab the door.

Mu Yirong strode to block, but the white-faced middle-aged man he had followed with Ruicao before hugged his thigh and cried: "My lord, we are wronged!

The fleeing man was about to rush out of the melon shed, but before his other foot could step out of the door, he hit Seocho headbutalot.

With a punch, Seocho punched the fleeing man with a black eye, and the man covering his left eye stumbled into the house and sat on the ground again.

This time, the man fell not lightly and did not get up for half a day.

Seocho walked into the house with heavy steps, blocking the door like an iron tower, and the man who sat on the ground covered his dark left eye and glanced at the window, but immediately gave up.

The white-faced middle-aged man was still hugging Mu Yirong's thigh, crying with a handful of snot and tears, as if he had traveled 108,000 miles and finally found his husband who had been confiscated.

Mu Yirong, whose pants were about to be pulled off, lowered his head helplessly: "Shen family wife, you let go of the official first, and say something slowly." ”

The white-faced man raised his tear-stained face in surprise: "Do you know who the slave family is?"

"Or how do you think this official found here!"

The white-faced man is the wife of the Shen family who is dressed as a man, and the one who sits on the ground in the middle of the melon shed is her husband, the Shen Touer who disappeared after eloping with the banker's daughter.

When the Shen familywife heard that Mu Yirong knew her identity, she immediately pulled Shen Tou'er in front of Mu Yirong, knelt on the ground and shouted wronged.

"Lord Squire, the woman of the people, please be sure to be the master of our husband and wife! ”

Mu Yirong asked Shen Tou'er and his wife to get up, and said that this is not the place to talk, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it when you go back to the yamen.

As soon as Shen Tou'er, who had a bright brain, heard the word "Yamen", he immediately shrank behind his wife, shook his head desperately and waved his hand: "No...... If you don't go, go to the yamen, and I will die as a villain. They are all raccoon dogs, wearing a pair of pants, as long as the villain and I step into the yamen with one foot, they will definitely be immediately beheaded as the murderer of the banker's daughter. ”

Seocho looked at Shen Tou'er, who was full of horror, and asked quickly: "The person you are afraid of, is it ......?"

As soon as Seocho's words were halfway through, Mu Yirong knocked it down at once, and an axe flew into the house with a whirl, "bang", and slammed on the board of the melon shed, shaking the melon shed. The dust and grass on the roof of the shed, like the flying ash of a stove blown by the wind, fluttered in the air, and then fell very slowly, as if slowly.

Mu Yirong jumped up quickly in the midst of the flying ashes, pulled the stunned Shen Tou'er aside, leaned against the door, and looked out.

Seocho, who got up from the ground, also patrolled and pulled the Shen family wife to a safe place, and looked out.

On the ridge not far from the melon shed, there was a group of people, all dressed in a flowing manner, looking like they should be local ruffians.

The first young man with a very tall head, his eyes were full of light, and he looked good, stretched out his head to look into the melon shed, and when he saw the figure flickering, he couldn't help but stretch his neck and shouted: "Shen Tou'er, you come out for Lao Tzu, and it is only right to repay debts." Even if you hide in a rat hole, Lao Tzu will pull you out. ”

Mu Yirong and Ruicao looked at Shen Tou'er who was squatting on the ground and holding his head. Shen Tou'er, who felt the gaze of the two, raised his head and put on a bitter and hateful expression, and waved his hand in a panic: "The villain doesn't owe them money, and he doesn't know them at all." ”

A few ruffians outside the melon shed did not look like killers or bandits, each holding only a short-handled axe in their hands.

Mu Yirong pulled Shen Tou'er from the ground: "No matter who they are, we must go back to the yamen as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Shen Tou'er heard that he had returned to the yamen, he immediately struggled: "Lord Shilang, you still don't understand, those people outside were hired to kill the villain. The villain definitely didn't owe them any money, and he didn't kill the dealer girl. If the villain follows the adults back to the yamen, they will definitely be killed. You don't know, they're all in a bunch. ”

Mu Yirong didn't know why Shen Tou'er was so afraid, his tone was calm, and he tried to reassure him as much as possible: "There are still people from Dali Temple in the yamen, and this official will not let anyone do anything wrong." ”

"The people of Dali Temple will also be bought. If we go back to Yamen, it will be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and they will be wiped out. ”
