The sun quietly climbed up the hillside again.

The quiet countryside gradually wakes up, the smoke rises, and the teenage girl comes to the well to draw water with a bucket, and the red rope tied on her head shakes gently in the dim light.

The moss beside the well has grown for an unknown number of years, and it is still growing tenaciously no matter how many people come and go.The girl's embroidered shoes stepped on them, and the water in her hands was too heavy, so she accidentally slipped.

She let out a short exclamation, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the bucket fell straight into the well, and was quickly pulled in with the rope.However, at this time, a hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed the rope that was pulled down, and lifted the bucket full of water up three times.

"Take it." The voice was like his own, and Guan Qingci's voice was as cold as cold dew.

But under the backlight, his face softened a lot, the girl blushed slightly, and for the first time felt that the people in Dali Temple were not so scary.She thanked her softly, Guan Qingci put down the bucket and left.

Daqing Township was calm last night, and the three people in the woodshed slept with sore backs and sore backs, but when they came out early in the morning, they still had the joy of saving their lives.But the other person in the story back then still quietly committed suicide on the beam of the house.

Therefore, Guan Qingci rushed to Laocunzheng's house early in the morning to inspect, and the result was embarrassing.The old village really committed suicide. He listed all the family affairs, including the big and small things in the village, and wrote them down on a piece of white paper. Then, he died peacefully.

Only by returning to death can true peace be obtained.

The death of Lao Cunzheng was like a wind blowing across the plains, making the village that had just calmed down boil again, especially when they saw the corpses of Li Mao and Lao Cunzheng lined up side by side, they were all horrified at a loss.

In order to prevent the uneasiness from spreading, Li Yan personally sits in the main house of the old village.Seeing the King of Luoyang here, the hearts of the villagers were indeed much more at ease, and there was no noisy scene, because at this moment, Li Yan was wearing a bright red robe, slightly lowering his head and stroking the heavy black coffin, which looked much better than those Unknown dangers are even more awesome.

Only when it is symptomatic can we prescribe medicine.

For villagers, awe is far more effective than affinity.

Yan Sanbai looked at the whole situation, nodded to Li Yan at the door, and then retreated quietly.

In this depressing and treacherous village again, that white figure running swiftly is like an ancient and unpolluted color.He looked up at the sky, and the rain was about to come.

The three of Wang Dekun did not dare to go to the old village's home, because the image of their own tragic death seemed to have begun to appear in their minds.They know that if they don't commit suicide, they will definitely be killed, but the key is that they are not the old immortals who are not afraid of death!They still want to live!

So they couldn't even take care of their family, and stayed in the Cai family's old house, staying under the sight of Dali Temple.County magistrate Cai didn't welcome them very much, but he couldn't drive them out, so his face was not very good-looking, and he didn't want Cai Zhijing to have too much contact with them.

Yan Sanbai came to Fusheng's house again, but Fusheng still didn't care about the affairs in the village, and went up the mountain to collect herbs on his own.Fusheng was not there, the door of the house was locked, but of course this small lock couldn't stop Yan Sanbai, Yan Sanbai just used a little force, and the door lock was removed directly.

He opened the curtain and went to the back room, and saw the woman lying on the bed for a few days.

"excuse me."

"Duddu." Ling Ding knocked on the door of Ah Jiu's house again, half of his hideous face was exposed, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Three days are not up yet."

Ling Ding smiled apologetically, "My son said it's too late, and the money won't be deducted from you. You can give me the box, even if it's half finished."

Ah Jiu stared at him suspiciously, until his dark and cloudy eyes made his scalp numb, then he nodded, "Wait."

At the same time, a fast horse galloped from outside the village.

Guan Qingci personally went to the county seat and came back as fast as possible.

It was almost noon, and it was time for dinner.

The crowd at the Zheng family in the old village began to disperse, and the Dali Temple staff who stood on guard in the Cai family's old house also felt hungry, and a smell of food wafted out, making them swallow their saliva.

"Everyone, come and have dinner." Cai Zhijing came out from the kitchen and called out. He was thoughtful, and everyone would call out, so everyone in Dali Temple expressed their satisfaction with his care.Being favored by Dali Temple will make Cai Zhijing's life much easier in the future. I am afraid this is the original intention of Cai County Magistrate to let him take care of him.

After calling everyone to eat, Cai Zhijing delivered meals to the chaifang as usual.

But on the way, County Magistrate Cai stopped him, "Zhijing, someone from the school came to see you today. You have asked for leave for a few days, and if you don't go, the master should have some objections. I'll take care of things here, and you go back to the county government office." Visit his old man's house, I have prepared the bacon for you."

"Father..." Cai Zhijing hesitated.

"Be obedient." County Magistrate Cai lowered his face slightly, "This Daqing Township is getting more and more chaotic, and you've stayed for so long, it won't be a problem if you stay any longer."

"But..." Cai Zhijing still wanted to speak, but was glared at by the magistrate Cai, and then agreed, handed the tray of food to the magistrate Cai, packed up his things, and prepared to go back to the county with the yamen servants waiting at the side.

The people in Dali Temple knew that he was going to leave, and they were quite reluctant. Cai Zhijing said goodbye to them one by one, "The students just go and go back, and tomorrow I will bring you fresh meat buns to eat."

After Cai Zhijing left, County Magistrate Cai opened the door of the firewood room with the food.Seeing the person coming, Wang Dekun and the others didn't have any special reaction, Zhang Yuan asked: "Where is the prince, has he come back?"

Liu Daquan then asked, "Yes, there is also the one in white. It is said that he is a hero with high martial arts. Has he returned?"

County Magistrate Cai slowly put the food on the ground, looked at the three people sitting on the straw pile, who were no longer arrogant as usual, and suddenly smiled, "Do you still expect them to protect you?"

Wang Dekun turned cold, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just can't get used to you for a long time, and I hope you die soon." County magistrate Cai seemed to have no scruples at this moment, his eyes were coldly scratched on the faces of the three of them like knives, "Hurry up and eat, I don't know if you still have food." There are a few meals to eat."

"Cai Zhihe! Don't get carried away!" Liu Daquan said angrily, "We're all going to die. So many people died in Daqing Township. Do you think you can get away with being the county magistrate?"

Cai County Magistrate also sneered, "Oh, with the King of Luoyang and Yan Sanbai here, it's not my turn to take responsibility. Do you think Yan Sanbai is a villain like you who can only shirk responsibility without conscience. What's more, if my son takes good care of them, they will bite me back?"

Liu Daquan was at a loss for words for a while, but Wang Dekun looked gloomy, "Cai Zhihe, I know you have been at odds with us, and I'm afraid you have been expecting us to die. But I really don't understand. If you are a juren in the village, everyone will treat you You are not thin, and the three of us have never provoked you, why do you keep getting along with us?"

County magistrate Cai gave him a cold look, and said, "If you want people not to know, unless you have done nothing, you should worry about yourself first."

With that said, County Magistrate Cai left in a flick of his sleeves, but when he closed the door, he let out a long sigh.He frowned, and kept closing the door for a moment, as if he had no intention of leaving immediately.

And at this moment, a gentle voice sounded behind him, "Magistrate Cai, what are you doing here?"

Magistrate Cai's body froze for a moment, but he recovered quickly, turned his head and said, "Master Yan is back, and I'm delivering food to the three of them."

"Where is your son?"

"There is something in the school, I let him go back first."

"So that's how it is." Yan Sanbai was still gentle, which made County Magistrate Cai's heart couldn't help but let go.However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, the gentle smile on the corner of Yan Sanbai's mouth was slowly stained with frost, and the feeling of spring suddenly transitioned to the cold winter.

"Cai Zhihe, as the county magistrate, do you know that no matter how serious the crime is, the prisoner should not be lynched without authorization?"

County Magistrate Cai thumped in his heart, "My lord, I don't know what you're talking about..."

Yan Sanbai ignored it, and continued: "Covering up, concealing, and the same crime as the former."

"My lord..." County Magistrate Cai's palms were covered with cold sweat, but at this moment, Yan Sanbai looked past him and looked at the firewood room.The three copper coins were thrown out, piercing the paper window and hitting the bowl in their hands.

The three of them were startled, aware of the danger, and rushed out, only to see Yan Sanbai and County Magistrate Cai confronting each other.Wang Dekun is a businessman, with a quick mind, he reacted immediately, pointed at Cai County Magistrate and asked, "Did you poison the food?"

After speaking, he turned to Yan Sanbai again, "My lord! You have to decide for us! If you hadn't knocked down our bowls in time, we would all be dead!"

Yan Sanbai frowned slightly, "I have my own opinion, don't make any noise."

At this moment, all the people from Dali Temple rushed over after hearing the sound, and Guan Qingci just strode into the gate of the courtyard. The two looked at each other from a long distance. Now, he turned around, dragged the person behind him into the yard, glanced at his subordinates, "arrest."

Zhang Yan saw Cai Zhijing go and come back, but was still arrested by his own adults, he couldn't help being surprised, he didn't expect that he would be involved in this case.But the order is important, Zhang Yan didn't ask any more questions, and immediately led people out at a high speed.

"My lord, why are you arresting my son?" County magistrate Cai hurriedly stood in front of Cai Zhijing, "I did the poison, what's the matter with Guan Zhijing!"

Cai Zhijing looked at her father in astonishment, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Cai County Magistrate.

"Okay." Yan Sanbai looked at him calmly, "Then please tell me why you poisoned me?"

"That's why they deserve to die." Cai Zhijing's face was serious, and the anger and loathing hidden in his eyes finally erupted at this moment, "I was also there when the fire broke out more than ten years ago."

what? !

Wang Dekun and the others opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths wide to look at Magistrate Cai.

Magistrate Cai snorted coldly, "Didn't you ask me why I didn't deal with you, because I could see everything clearly on that night more than ten years ago! Do you think you really did it flawlessly?"

The faces of the three of them suddenly became so dark that water dripped out. Liu Daquan said, "So this time you are taking revenge on us? Did you kill my son?"

"That's right." Cai Zhijing confessed, "I was preparing for the exam. Although I was angry and wanted to report to the government immediately, but I was afraid of getting into trouble and delaying my career, so I suppressed it. But the four of you have not repented for more than ten years. , I am also condemned by my conscience every day, if I don’t kill you, my heart disease will be hard to cure!”
