Pastoral Chronicle of the Talented Talent

Chapter 117 The situation turns sharply

In contrast, Xiao Jin's stone-like stiff face was so cold that water dripped out at the moment. He was holding on to the armrest of the seat beside him, his heart churning back and forth like a huge wave. , came to Mushui Village to find someone, and he was able to create a killer!According to that person's order, the person they wanted to kill was clearly not Cao Heng and his ilk, let alone Li Yufeng, but now they are doing well. Not only did they fail to complete their mission, they even sent their lives here, and they asked him to do it himself. Clean up the mess!

Xiao Jin's face was as stiff and cold as ice stones in the cold sky and snow, and his heart was hot and constricted on the contrary, but there was no trace of trouble on his face.

Unlike him, Li Min frowned slowly with surprise. Last night, people from the Xiao family really came, but would the people from the Xiao family be so stupid? They ran all the way to Mushui Village just to To kill an unremarkable Li Yufeng?Was it Li Yufeng who was not killed, which led to the deaths of Cao Heng and Cao Si?

However, as early as in the imperial capital, Li Yufeng had been teased many times by the generals of the Xiao family. There was no need for the people of the Xiao family to come all the way to kill him, and they would never go to war for a little Li Yufeng.So what did the Xiao family do here?

Could it be... It was the people from the Xiao family who set fire to the carriage and separated Li Qing and Cao Si on purpose. The dead Cao Si and Cao Heng were killed because they got in their way?So why didn't they hurt Li Qing and the others?Who are they really going to kill?

Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xiao Jin, and secretly said in his heart, no one knows better than Xiao Jin what the Xiao family will do in Mushui Village in the future.It can also be guessed in this way that the orders received by the Xiao family may have been instigated by Xiao Jin secretly!Only in this way can it be explained why Xiao Jin arrived in such a timely manner after hearing about the incident in Mushui Village, thousands of miles away.He must have been spying here.

Li Min was cold all over, thinking that it was Nianzu who carried him back, so would Nianzu know something, even if he just witnessed the scene, is it possible?

"what?"

Mou Lezhou jumped up against the case and yelled loudly, "You said the murderer was caught?!"

The word "murderer" completely turned Xiao Jin's face into the face of Hades. Xiao Jin glanced coldly at Mou Lezhou, and Mou Lezhou's half-standing body trembled instinctively, shaking and falling back. After getting off the chair, he pursed his mouth tightly, looked away timidly, and didn't dare to mention the murderer again.

"You can ask Wu Zuo to do the autopsy, no matter if it's the murderer or not." Li Min's clear voice sounded in the whole hall.

Only then did Xiao Jin seem to come to his senses, his gaze swung towards the kneeling guard below like a sharp knife, and he said, "Bring up the corpse."

Xiao Jin's voice was deep and quiet, and it came out peacefully, resounding through the entire hall, like knocking gold and hitting a stone. Only then did the guards of Xiao's family dare to get up, walked out cautiously, and moved the corpses in a short while came in.

The true colors of the three men dressed in black will be revealed. Each of them has a hanging knife hidden in their waist, except for the corpse of the woman who was carried up last, with nothing on his body.

The muscles on Li Zundao's face trembled faintly, and a pair of triangular eyes trembled coldly. He was not afraid, but excited!There is nothing more joyful than Xiao's family slapping their own mouths!This time, the Xiao family is finished!

The radiance in his eyes swept towards Li Xiucai who was standing in the hall, his teeth were clenched together tightly, his face was covered with murderous intent in an instant, after the Xiao family was settled, Li Min would be dealt with!Cao Heng is dead, Li Min has no reason to be buried with him!

"The hanging knives are hidden on the two corpses, but only one corpse does not have a hanging knife. The hanging knife on the corpse is exactly the same as the hanging knife presented as evidence. Mr. Xiao, these three corpses are indeed as your subordinates said , is he a general of the Xiao family?"

Mou Lezhou stroked his goatee and looked at Xiao Jin with a half-smile.Now the case is easy to judge, as long as Xiao Jin nods, he will immediately make a conclusion!Now Xiao Ke can't blame him anymore!Besides, the Xiao family is really the murderer, they have nothing to worry about, so of course they don't have to worry so much.

For a moment Mou Lezhou regained his energy, and looked at Xiao Jin with a sassy look.There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Xiao Jin, but this look was no longer as fearful and humble as before. Everyone began to look at Xiao Jin, and everyone's eyes gradually began to take on a raging taste, as if a Take a scalpel to cut off Xiao Jin's hard and false crust, and everyone is eager to witness how wonderful and ugly there will be under this crust!

"Even the guards brought by Mr. Xiao think that these three corpses are generals of the Xiao family. I think Mr. Xiao will never deny it."

Li Min's clear and calm voice resounded on the spot. When Xiao Jin heard that a scholar had committed the crime against his Xiao family, embarrassment appeared on his face; Even last night's assassination was avoided by him, Li Zundao would never believe everything Li Min said on the surface, so Li Zundao got up first, and wanted to speak——

"Snapped!"

Mr. Mou's attendants found an inkstone from nowhere, and used it as a gavel. He threw it on the table. The sound was not loud, but it shook people's hearts. Li Zundao was startled and looked at Mou Lezhou. One thought was to stop Mou Lezhou's subconscious judgment, but it was already too late.

"Xiao Jin! You, together with the generals of the Xiao family, sneaked into Mushui Village and killed the members of the Cao family and the Li family. What else do you have to say..."

"Lord Mou—"

Before Mou Lezhou finished speaking, Li Min cut him off resolutely with a drawn-out tone.

"Li Min! What kind of status do you have? How dare you act presumptuously here! Someone, drag him down!" Mou Lezhou patted Chang Mu again, pointed at Li Min and scolded him.

"I'm a scholar, so I should be able to say a word or two in front of adults, right?"

Li Min ran up to the left and right of several yamen servants, with a cold smile on his face, he asked directly.

"Lord Mou, is this how you handle cases on weekdays? To deceive the public, to be self-willed?" Xiao Jin also wanted to hear what else Li Min could say. This is the most unfavorable time for the Xiao family, but he also knows that in Mou Lezhou and Li Zundao defended in front of these two low-level officials, but for Xiao Jin, he just lost his status!If he wants to defend himself, he will also wait in front of the emperor.Therefore, Li Min came out to say a few words, even if it was not good for the Xiao family, Xiao Jin wanted to hear it.After all, this Li Min is still a talent.

Li Min glanced at the guards of the Xiao family who came in to report after the fall, and with a smile in his eyes, he cupped his hands at Mou Lezhou, "Master Mou must know that the three corpses in front of you are generals of the Xiao family, and the evidence in your hand is also This corpse is lost. Please take a look, which of the three corpses has the words "I am the general of the Xiao family" written on their faces, why the guards of the Xiao family rushed in and shouted loudly, the dead person belongs to the Xiao family General? Li Min doesn't quite understand, can you ask the guards of the Xiao family to explain why they decided so decisively that the corpse is the general of the Xiao family?"

When Mou Lezhou heard this, his expression became strange.Although he is a magistrate, he is not an idiot.Li Min's words had a deep meaning. He clearly suspected that the guards of the Xiao family had been bribed. As long as the guards of the Xiao family could not instantly identify the three corpses as the generals of the Xiao family, then Li Min would say He especially said that Xiao Jin was so wronged, and he was the first to bear the brunt of it, so he came to wrong Xiao Jin and the Xiao family!

This damned scholar!

Mou Lezhou cursed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He looked at Xiao Jin's stone face, and laughed at the same time, and glanced at Li Zundao. Li Zundao sat coldly, and didn't even look at himself.

"Alright, Li Xiucai, what should we do in your opinion?"

Li Zundao obviously wanted to stay out of it?Mou Lezhou made a quick judgment, and at the same time felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart.When I wanted to convict Xiao Jin just now, I really offended Xiao Jin and made it clear that I favored Li Zundao.After a while, if Li Min really exposes something, according to Li Zundao's cold attitude now... Mou Lezhou deeply feels that the situation is cold, and he feels sorry for him.

"Li Min, since just now you have said that the Xiao family is innocent, if you can't make sense this time, no wonder you will expel them and impose heavy punishment!" Li Zundao reminded sadly, he was already impatient Seeing Li Min again, instead of scaring him with high-sounding words, Li Zundao was more inclined to be more realistic. This time Li Min couldn't tell he was ugly, so he asked people to beat him to death with dozens of sticks first.

Last night, people from the Xiao family came!Li Zundao is very sure!However, the members of the Xiao family didn't want to kill Li Yufeng, they had another purpose, and even Li Zundao didn't know what their purpose was.It's just that Cao Heng and the others were too reckless, they pestered the Xiao family members and they were killed in the end.

On this side, the assassins sent by Li Zundao to the Shentu family wanted to kill Li Min, but Li Min escaped somehow. up!

No matter what, Li Zundao couldn't explain to the Shentu family!

Now Li Min came to help the Xiao family, how could Li Zundao tolerate it!

Li Min bowed to the bottom, with a light smile, "Uncle Zun Dao's words are very true, Li Min will remember it carefully."

As Li Min said, he walked towards the guard of the Xiao family, then made a sudden move, drew out the long knife standing on the guard's waist, and slashed at the guard of the Xiao family in the face!

This movement came so suddenly that even Xiao Jin couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He saw the guards of the Xiao family kick the long knife in Li Min's hand when they saw the knife coming, turned over and jumped back, posing Prepare for battle!

After Li Min finished his slash, he turned around and returned to his life when he saw that no one had been slashed. Mou Lezhou didn't understand what Li Min was trying to do, so he slapped the gavel and asked Li Min, "Li Min, how dare you use a knife in the hall?" , come on, drag me out to wait on the big board..."

"Master Mou, why should you be in a hurry. Li Min hasn't finished speaking yet, you are so eager to drag me out, are you trying to cover up the truth like this guy pretending to be the guard of the Xiao family?" Li Min clapped his hands. Dust, which does not exist, smiled lazily at Mou Lezhou, but he was calm and composed, without any panic.

"You, let you say a few more words!" Mou Lezhou gritted his teeth, feeling extremely irritable in his heart.He wanted to greet Li Zundao with a smiling face, but Li Zundao next to him ignored him; he wanted to take a look at Xiao Jin, but Mr. Xiao was like a stone, watching his nose, nose and heart.

Mou Lezhou instantly felt that he had no support, and vented all the anger in his belly on Li Min.

Li Min arched his hands towards Xiao Jin, and asked with a smile, "Master Xiao, did you see clearly the moves of this fake guard just now?"

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows again, this was his second expression since he came to Mushui Village, but he nodded to show that he saw clearly.

"Then may I ask Master Xiao, is this guard really raised by your Xiao family, and all the martial arts methods come from the Xiao family?"

Xiao Jin nodded again.

"The Xiao family is good at bows and arrows. When the martial arts practitioners of the Xiao family encounter danger in an instant, the first reaction is to avoid instinctively, and the attack of the arm is listed as the first one; When encountering danger and counterattacking, he kicked my hand with his foot, Li Min didn't quite understand, is this person really the guard of the Xiao family?"

When a person encounters life-threatening threats, of course he will use what he is best at to fight back against the other party.But what this person is good at is obviously different from what the Xiao family is good at.With just a knife, Li Min felt the way of this person. Xiao Jin's stiff face showed signs of melting.

"Come here." Xiao Jin didn't answer Li Min, just shouted, and immediately rushed in from outside with a rush of more than a dozen guards. Xiao Jin only roughly pointed at the fake guard, and said casually, "Take this person Wait, let's see who sent him, and why he messed up my Xiao family, and the result must be judged."

Another burst of training speeded up, and the fake guards were dragged down. Mou Lezhou was in a daze with his mouth half open, not knowing what to do next. Li Zundao had a gloomy face, and his eyes wandered back and forth on Li Min and Xiao Jin. He suspected that this Li Min Min is almost demonic, but he just draws his sword and slashes people, and he flatters Xiao Jin. This Li Min has to be eliminated!

"Although the guards around me were inserted in, whether these three corpses belong to the Xiao family or not remains to be verified. If it is found out that they were framed by someone, then I, Xiao Jin, will never tolerate……"

Xiao Jin slowly stood up from his seat, his gaze was instantly shocked like a mountain cracking a stone.

Now Xiao Jin has the intention of leaving. He no longer wants to listen to the nonsense of these people in front of him. Li Zundao accused the Xiao family killer of killing Cao Heng and his like. Now it has become insufficient evidence. Even Xiao Jin is surrounded by other people's eyeliner. Accusing the Xiao family of killing people again is a bit far-fetched, even with the malice of deliberately planting dirt!

Of course Li Zundao didn't dare to drag the Xiao family any further, but Xiao Jin wanted to leave, but Li Min couldn't!Li Zundao made a quick decision the moment Xiao Jin got up, Cao Heng and the others couldn't die in vain, even if they couldn't sue the Xiao family, they had to implicate Li Min!Although so many died, it was a bit too wasteful just to drag Li Min into the water, but how could Li Zundao just let it go? !

He stood up abruptly, and was about to say something, when suddenly he saw a person rushing in from outside the door, Ding Qing took a look, Fengshen was handsome, with fierce and powerful eyes, who else was it if he wasn't his son?

Li Yufeng rushed in, as if a bright light had shot in, even Xiao Jin couldn't help slowing down, standing still, only to hear Li Yufeng clasped his fists at the adults present, and announced loudly, "Cao Heng's death is not an accident. Li Min entered Cao Si’s house last night, but Cao Si, Cao Heng and others died unexpectedly, but Li Min returned safely. Lord Mou, what do you think about this matter?”

The implication is that Li Min has a great relationship with Cao Heng's death.

On the one hand, the Xiao family has not completely got rid of the suspicion, on the other hand, Li Yufeng dragged Li Min into the water again.

On the surface, it seems that Li Yufeng and the others are chasing and eating food indiscriminately, but in fact, Li Zundao can test whether Li Min and this Xiao Jin are colluding secretly.What's more--Li Zundao did not forget a matter that Qi Shao once reported to himself.There is a fool secretly hiding in Li Min's house. This fool seems to be very stupid, but after Qi Shao tried again and again, he felt that he was weird.

Although Li Zundao was aiming at Li Min, his goal was that fool.He had already sent his men to investigate before, and Li Min returned safely last night, and he was carried back by that idiot.This fool is really interesting!

Although Li Yufeng was asking about Mou Lezhou, he was also asking about Xiao Jin, so Xiao Jin took back the steps he lifted and stood still on the spot with a blank expression on his face.

"Bold Li Min!"

Mou Lezhou was stunned and pointed straight at Li Min, "You didn't report the news, where did you go last night, what did you do, why are Cao Heng and others dead, but you are standing there alive?" Here?! Also, who was with you last night, I will invite you to tell the truth!!"

After hearing this questioning, Li Min laughed, Mou Lezhou's meaning was very clear, Li Min had to be like Cao Heng and others, with a dead body, so he was innocent.He has never seen such a parent officer!

Li Min glanced around the hall calmly, and even put his hands behind his back lightly, but he didn't utter a word. He put on such a leisurely look, obviously he didn't put Mou Lezhou's question in the first place. in the eyes.

"Come on! Give me torture!" Mou Lezhou was furious!If Xiao Jin dared to show face to him, he would accept it; if Li Zundao dared to ignore him, he would accept it too!But who is Li Min, who dares to play tricks on him? !Very good, now let this talent have a taste of ostentation!

The yamen guards on both sides rushed in quickly, grabbed Li Min and was about to torture him, "My lord... Li Min is a scholar, and now he is only a little suspicious. If my lord uses torture like this..."

The master next to Mou Lezhou stepped forward and bit his ear, admonishing him all over, and at the same time looked at Xiao Jin with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Now is not the time to be impulsive, Xiao Jin is here to watch.

Li Zundao saw Xiao Jin standing there like a stone statue, and he didn't show any abnormality about Mou Lezhou tortured Li Min. Li Zundao couldn't figure out the situation, so he coughed lightly and said, "Lord Mou, when Li Min went back last night, There is another person with him. I believe that many clan members of the patriarch's family have seen this person and can testify."

"Oh? That means there are still accomplices?" Mou Lezhou listened and talked to Li Qifu. Li Kang came out first, and proved Li Zundao's words in time, and dragged out Nianzu.

Mou Lezhou immediately ordered someone to sneak Nian Zuti over.

Xiao Jin and Li Zundao sat down again, and Li Zundao swept towards Xiao Jin with a complacent expression, his eyes were dark and deep.

Xiao Jin's aura was like a bottomless pit, he fully accepted Li Zundao's eyes, and kept his expression so calm that no emotion could be seen at all.

Not long after, he was supported by two imposing guards from the outside of the hall, and dragged all the way in. Seeing the baby's fat face in the middle, Li Zundao's eyes sharpened, and he turned his head away. Go, stare straight at Xiao Jin, with that look, it seems that you will never stop until you stare Xiao Jin out of a hole.

Even though Xiao Jin is superior and doesn't take Li Zundao seriously, it is very rare for someone to stare at him like this.According to his current status, he is the only one who keeps staring at others, and no one has ever dared to keep staring at him.So Xiao Jin looked back at Li Zundao slightly, and at this moment Nianzu was pushed in from the threshold outside the door!

It seems that because Nianzu had no defense under his feet, he was pushed down abruptly by someone. He tripped over the threshold and rushed forward. For some reason, he leaned against the door abruptly, almost invisible. The human Li Kang bumped into each other, Nianzu knocked Li Kang down together, and clumsily pressed Li Kang under him!

Immediately, Li Kang wailed, because of his age, he was knocked to the ground, and his strength was insufficient. After this fall, Li Kang could only gasp for air. He wanted to reprimand the fool, but he was dizzy again and again Where can I take care of it.

"Nianzu!"

Li Min didn't care about Li Kang, and ran forward to help Nianzu up, but he didn't see Nianzu's deep and deep eyes like abyss, flashing slyly and triumphantly.When Li Min pulled him to his side, Nianzu was licking his lips foolishly, as if he had eaten honey. Li Min checked him up and down, wiping his face with his sleeve to wipe away the stain he didn't know when. Dust on the ground, he scolded the yamen servant, "Nianzu is just a child, how can you deal with it so hard?! The county magistrate loves the people like children, you people really disgrace the county magistrate!"

Mou Lezhou, who originally wanted to reprimand him, choked up his words of reprimand after hearing these words, and asked someone to help Li Kang up and take him down for medical examination. Only then did the chaos calm down.

"Nianzu! Let me ask you, where did you go last night, where did you bring Li Min back, and what did you and Li Min do outside? Did the death of Cao Heng and others have anything to do with you? ?!" Mou Lezhou finished talking, and in return, Nianzu smiled at Li Min with his baby fat face, his tall stature completely compares to Li Min's thin body , his deep black eyes seemed to be only for the person in front of him, he rubbed Li Min's hand with his hands, and from time to time he said a few words from his mouth in a foolish manner, "Min, Min'er...hehe... Min'er is so nice..."

He didn't know where the county magistrate's words went, he looked completely stupid.

Seeing this, Li Yufeng got angry from somewhere, pointed at Nianzu and said, "Lord Mou, don't just look at this fool's appearance, he is pretending! You know, there is no fool in the world who knows how to take care of babies." ! This idiot took care of Li'er, who was just born less than [-] days old, without crying! How can a idiot take good care of a baby?!"

Li Zundao snorted coldly, and there was a hint of gloating in the triangular eyes. The more he looked at Xiao Jin, the deeper the smile in Li Zundao's eyes: Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin!You are stern and selfless, you are the face of Hades.It's just that these things are going to be broken today, so I want to see what kind of relationship you have with this idiot!

After thinking about it, Li Zundao cast a wink at Mou Lezhou, and Mou Lezhou immediately received it, and at the same time looked at Xiao Jin, the meaning was very clear, as if to give Xiao Jin the last chance, if Xiao Jin refused to show color to himself, then Mou Lezhou will really take refuge in Li Zundao!But Xiao Jin didn't see the interaction here at all, because Xiao Jin's eyes, at this moment, only saw Nian Zu.His gaze painted Nianzu's eyebrows, nose, forehead, even every frown and smile, like a sketch, deeply imprinted into Xiao Jin's heart.Xiao Jin moved his hands, twisted the cuffs of his clothes, and unconsciously tightened them tightly. On his stone-like stiff face, there was a distorted expression mixed with a hint of horror.

"Come on, this idiot is extremely dishonest, drag it down for me, and hit twenty big boards first!"

"Min'er, save me, don't...don't..."

The yamen servants on both sides rushed up, pulled Nian Zu forcefully, and dragged him to the outside of the hall.

Seeing Li Min, he felt anxious, no matter whether Nianzu really saw what happened yesterday, he would never allow anyone to beat Nianzu!Nianzu is still a child, with tender skin, how can he withstand the beating?Even if Nian Zuzhen made a mistake, he can't beat him!

Li Min was stubborn in his heart, and for some reason, he just couldn't get used to Nianzu being beaten. Maybe it was because he had been with him all the time, and he was used to Nianzu's lively and active temperament. When he thought of Nianzu's scarred appearance, Li Min would I can't stop my heart from suffering.

"Lord Mou, you don't ask the reason, you kill first and play later, what a good official!" Li Min yelled, and the guards who pushed aside the obstruction rushed to Mou Lezhou's desk, and challenged the county master face to face, "Master Mou don't ask He is innocent, he listens and believes, Li Yufeng says something, and Mr. Mou thinks it is. May I ask Mr. Mou, if Li Yufeng killed someone, and the evidence is solid, what should you do? Do you dare to let the yamen servants beat him?!"

"Li Min, what do you mean by that, when did I kill someone?" Li Yufeng answered in time, at the same time, Nian Zu was pushed out by the yamen servants, the board was already ready.

Mou Lezhou ignored Li Min and shouted loudly, "Call me!"

"Don't fight!" Li Min shouted.

"Li Xiucai, if you dare to commit another crime against me today, I will beat you too!" Mou Lezhou got anxious, pushed Li Min away, and walked out on the spot. It's impossible to recruit the truth!
