The punishment of broken jade GL

"Who is yelling outside? Qing'er?" A hoarse old voice suddenly came from the lobby.

Because everyone was standing at the bottom of the steps, suddenly there was an extra sound, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat, especially the old voice with a slender end, which made people feel as if their ears had been scratched by something sharp. Very uneasy.

"Father, it's the magistrate." Si Qing still stared at Yuan Yan, but said respectfully.

"Then please come in." The voice said.

Si Qing frowned a little, and said to everyone, "Since my father has spoken, everyone, please."

Lu Ling hurriedly gave Yuan Xi a hand, not wanting Yuan Xi to come forward, maybe seeing Lu Ling's expression, Re Huan suddenly rushed forward and pushed open the door of the lobby.

Today's weather is cloudy, and there is even a chill in the room. Also, there is a smell from the old man, which immediately makes Rehan take two steps back.

Yuan Yu was right behind her, thinking she was going to fall, she quickly stretched out her hand and pulled her to the side, falling into Yuan Ting's arms, and coldly said to Yuan Ting, "Look at your woman!"

Yuan Ting froze for a moment, then nodded again and again.

Rehuan wanted to explain, Yuan Xi looked at her sideways

"It's none of your business. Those who were called earlier, go to the entrance of the village immediately. I will personally watch you go down the mountain later."

"I do not…"

"You are named in the government, and you are my subordinates. If you don't obey the orders of your superiors, you will be expelled immediately!" Yuan Xi didn't let her have a chance to speak at all, and waved her hand to signal Lu Ling to stop the two of them from the door .

Yuan Xi, He Yao, Shui Yanchu, and Sikong Sha walked in.

The lobby was dim, and only two people could be seen sitting on chairs. Si Qing walked over first and lit the candles on the case.

There are traces of candles everywhere in the room, and the dim light looks very eerie.

It was only after sitting on the two people that they revealed their faces. They were a pair of elderly people.All should be over sixty years old.

The woman was very old, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, her toothless mouth was wriggling and murmuring.

Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she couldn't see anyone.

Yuan Xi and the others stood in the lobby, but she didn't even look up.

The old man was also skinny, his hands pressed on the walking stick, dry and thin, the corners of his mouth were sunken in, his body swayed as he sat there, as if he was about to fall all the time.

His eyes were cloudy, as if he was staring at Yuan Yu, which made people feel inexplicably disgusted.

Even if Yuan Xi is uncomfortable, she will not lose her manners

"It's very offending to come here to disturb me rashly. Please forgive me, Mr. Si."

"Your Excellency is here. I was born as the village head, but I didn't come out to greet you. I've lost my manners." The old man said, as if he wanted to stand up, and Si Qing immediately supported him.

Being thrown away by him, Si Qing immediately backed away in fear.

The old man walked up to Yuan Xi slowly. He was not as tall as Yuan Xi, so he just looked at her with his head up.

Yuan Yu stood calmly, without moving his eyes down, and let him see what he wanted.

"Your Excellency is a dragon and phoenix among men, and you will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Why did you come to Qing'er? I wonder if you can tell the old man?"

"You are also a sensible person, so I won't beat around the bush. I'll get to the point, it's convenient for everyone! About the secret of Xining Village's construction, I already know it through insiders. I don't want to make a fuss about the village, but for the case of Min Rong , I just want to know the details.”

"What's so strange about Min Rong's case! It seems that such an ungrateful person who abandons his good spouse has already taken advantage of him with a different head!"

Yuan Yu took a deep breath, "Since I am the magistrate, the people have grievances that I have to complain about. Since Jian Min and Min Ya begged me to investigate, I can't ignore it. There is indeed something strange about Min Rong's case. At least he has no reason to kill his wife. "

"Even so, you can check it out. What does it have to do with my Qing'er?" asked the old man.Stand sideways facing Si Qing.

Si Qing kept bowing her head respectfully and didn't lift it up, just listening to him ask her, she couldn't help being stiff all over.

Looking at this scene, Yuan Yu could naturally see that Si Qing was very afraid of him, and there might be some things that Si Qing told herself without telling him.

She is someone who knows a lot, if she slips up, maybe Si Qing will be in trouble later.

So Yuan Xi said

"Si Qing is the only person we know in the village other than Min's family. She knows the whole village well. Since we want to find out, we naturally hope that she can help. Since you are the village head, I don't think I would mind lending Si Qing to you." Let the government use it!"

"My lord, don't think that the old man can't hear what you just said because of his old age. There are not many people in this village who dare to tell the secret. You can't do it by others, so naturally you set your sights on Qing'er." As the old man said, he walked up to Si Qing.

Si Qing seemed to be very frightened, and hurriedly sank down, wishing Wanfu.Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted down, the old man lifted up with a palm.

Although he was skinny, he was still a man after all, and he hit him so hard that Si Qing blushed immediately when he hit him.She lowered her head without saying a word.

"It seems that I usually indulge you too much! How dare I act presumptuously in front of adults! From today on, you will stay at home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors," the old man said.

Si Qing bit her lip tightly, seeming to be dissatisfied, but she didn't show "yes"

"Mr. Si, why should you be like this! You don't have to ask Si Qing to explain, that's fine. You said that you are the village head, and I just have some free time. I want to discuss with you. There are mountains of bones in the ancestral hall at the end of the village. Why!"

"Why are you in the ancestral hall!" The old man immediately lost his temper when he heard about the ancestral hall.

Yuan Yu and the others immediately looked away from Si Qing, lest Si Qing would be beaten again.

"I said, since I am the magistrate! I have the right to avenge the people! I have to investigate the whole village, and the ancestral hall is naturally included! In addition to Jian Min's disappearance, it is natural to search every inch of the land. During the search, I accidentally found it. I should ask the village chief, where did so many bones come from!"

"This is a family matter in our village, and it should not be known by outsiders! My lord can't find out the result of Min Rong's case, and you don't have to hold on to the village's secrets!"

"Is there something filthy that should not be told? Otherwise, how could they keep it secret!" He Yao and Shui Yanchu also knew where the bones might come from. As women, of course, the atmosphere was abnormal, so they said coldly arrive.

"What did you say!" The old man turned his gaze, staring at He Yao with a dead man's eyes, his voice was sharp.

"What are you yelling at! Are you showing off your abilities? Why don't you show off to the county magistrate if you have that ability!" Sikongsha immediately stopped He Yao behind him, and when someone was rude to He Yao, she seemed to be on fire, condescending roared.The sound was like thunder, making everyone present startled.

"Where did this rogue come from! How dare you act wild in my Xining village!"

"Don't dare, your village is so rich and expensive, it looks like a big tomb, I don't dare to play wild with you, I don't want to be a living dead."

"You!!! Si Qing!" The old man was furious at what Sikong Sha said, and immediately turned to face Si Qing.

"I really didn't say that!" Si Qing hurriedly knelt down.

"It's not what she said. Your village is so big, and the terrain is there. If you want to cover it up, you have to have that ability!" Yuan Yu said.

"Enough!" roared the old man.

Everyone immediately fell silent. The old man leaned on his crutches and pounded on the ground, making a loud noise. He paced back and forth slowly.

After a while, he stopped, "What my Si family can say is exhausted! It seems that the prefect's trip is not for Min Rong, but to dig up old things, but even if you can dig it out, you can catch it." How many people? The whole village? What's the difference between this and a massacre?"

"Since the human affairs are already wrong, what will be the result if we continue to pursue them! Since the master knows that I will persevere, why bother to cover it up. I want to cover it up."

"So, my lord doesn't intend to go into it?"

"The government also has a time limit for handling cases. What's more, this is not the fault of one person. Now we can only hope that there will be no more twists and turns!" Yuan Xi thought he was talking about the massacre of eleven people in the imperial tomb.

Although Si Qing made it clear at the time that she had nothing to do with her ancestors at this time, but she couldn't listen to Si Qing's one-sided words, maybe her ancestors also killed themselves to protect themselves.

Si Qing hurriedly wiped off her cold sweat, Yuan Yu walked up to her and helped her up, Si Qing held her hand firmly, fixed her eyes on her, and shook her head gently, as if signaling her not to talk to the old man again. go on.

"Si Qing is Min Xian's fiancée. Regarding the Min Rong case, if she can help us, I believe the time to solve the case will be greatly shortened. I think my husband also hopes that I can leave as soon as possible, right?" Yuan Xi raised her eyebrows and said arrive.

The old man thought for a while, then sat back on the chair, and looked at Si Qing with cloudy eyes, "Qing'er, although Min Rong treats you ruthlessly, as the descendant of the village head of Xining Village, you must not be unrighteous. If you help, you should devote yourself to helping each other, your lord is busy with business, you can't delay for too long for Min Rong, help your lord to solve the case as soon as possible, and also restore the peace of Xining Village!"

Si Qing nodded immediately, and was about to leave when suddenly she heard the woman next to her cough softly, "Qing'er, don't forget to change your brother's medicine."

"Yes, mother..." Si Qing said, and waved to everyone, signaling them to go back first.

Yuan Xi and the others retreated immediately, all of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Si Qing also extinguished the candle and came out.When she came out, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at them with a bit of reproach, and after a long time, he waved his hand and asked them to go to his boudoir.
