The entrance to the cave is getting wider and wider, the familiar smells and scenery are familiar, and thinking of the two giant pythons hidden below, Hua Rujin feels a chill.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the cave, she saw two giant pythons, black and white, tearing a black shadow in half and swallowing it in her mouth. What she saw was shocking.
She looked around and could vaguely see in the dim light, a few iron swords with a cold light scattered all over the ground, and a few boots lying staggered next to the iron swords.
The two giant pythons spotted the figure at the entrance of the cave. They raised their heads warily at first, but then lazily crouched down.
Hua Rujin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking around with burning eyes, when she suddenly heard a burst of sobbing coming from the ground.
She placed the oil lamp at the entrance of the cave, jumped down, turned around a rock wall, and saw Cheng Nini lying on the stone platform in front of her, crying softly.
And the old beggar, whom she hadn't seen for many days, also appeared next to her, holding a chicken drumstick and gnawing happily. He seemed to be indifferent to everything that happened in front of him, his expression was so indifferent.
"Nini's father is the wealthy businessman who disappeared in Jiangling City a few years ago, right?"
Hua Rujin put away her dagger, stepped forward, and looked at the old beggar with an imposing look.
"Have you guessed it all?"
The old beggar put down the drumstick and smiled knowingly.
"nonsense."
Hua Rujin glanced at him angrily: "I almost lost half my life, don't you know that?"
"It seems that these people really don't want to let their mother and daughter go."
The old beggar sighed sadly, and suddenly looked at her playfully: "Girl, if you are willing to call me Master, I will tell you the whole story."
"I"
Hua Rujin suddenly thought of what she had said to coax Cai Baiwei.
Now Cousin Ruya and Cai Baiwei are starting to question themselves. I'm afraid they really have to call this old beggar "Master".
"Why do you insist that I call you master?"
Hua Rujin looked at him puzzled.
"Because. You deserve it."
The old beggar smiled innocently.
"Gee, a beggar is still picky."
Thinking of him cheating on the street, Hua Rujin felt very dissatisfied: "I don't have any money."
"I don't care about money."
The old beggar jumped directly to the top of the rock several meters high.
Hua Rujin was shocked: Look at his skill, he may not be inferior to Ye Chengwei.
Since he was so capable, why did he pretend to be a crazy old beggar and pester him to become his disciple?
Could it be like the plot in martial arts novels, where he has a last resort and wants to inherit his mantle so that he can clean up his family?
Looking up at the old beggar with question marks on her face, Hua Rujin said coldly: "I won't kill someone for you either."
"Why do I, an old beggar, ask you to kill people for no reason?"
The old beggar lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Now that they have all chased them into this tunnel, this girl Nini has nowhere to hide. My dear disciple, I want you to take her to the county government office to find the new top scholar."
Hearing the words "good disciple", Hua Rujin's eyebrows froze: "I haven't agreed to accept you as my teacher yet."
"Sooner or later."
The old beggar raised his head with a smile, looked up to the sky and sighed softly: "I will be your master to the old beggar. You can't buy it, you can't be cheated, you can't buy it, and you can't suffer a loss."
"Tell me first, what is going on with Ni Ni and her mother?"
Hua Rujin looked at the little girl solemnly: "Why did the government insist on killing them mother and daughter?"
"This started three years ago."
The old beggar slowly sat down on the rock and began to speak carefully:
"Three years ago, Nini and her father disappeared in Jiangling City for no apparent reason. The mother and daughter came to Jiangling City to look for him. After searching around to no avail, they had to report the case to the county government. At that time, they were experiencing the triennial event in Beijing.
According to the inspection, the officials in both places wanted to settle the matter as early as possible, and made preparations after some perfunctory. However, the old lady of the Cheng family was worried that something might happen to her eldest son, so she took her young son to Jiangxi.
The Anxian county government asked the local magistrate to make the decision.
It was just that the magistrate was busy preparing to receive the Beijing envoy, so he had no time to care about it, so he had the old lady of the Cheng family and her son dismissed. Some unpleasant things happened in the process. The magistrate of Jiang'an County was worried that the old lady would go to the county government to cause trouble again, so he
Let the officers give the old lady a good beating, and she will die before she even leaves the county office."
Hearing this, Cheng Nini had already burst into tears: "When my mother-in-law and I rushed back from Jiangling City, my uncle was also dying. My mother-in-law was so angry that she found a lawyer in the county and prepared to sue the magistrate of Jiang'an County to the capital. But,
The lawyer defrauded our family of all their money but colluded with the county government, saying that my grandmother died of a sudden illness and that my brother-in-law was beaten for disturbing the court. Not only did my mother and I not see the Kyoto official, but my brother-in-law was also beaten because of it.
We were escorted back to Jiangling City but were killed by those Jiang'an County government officials."
Hua Rujin was so angry that she gritted her teeth and scolded the dog officer. She walked slowly to Cheng Nini and comforted her: "You should have told me these things earlier."
"I don't want to hurt my sister."
Cheng Nini hugged her and kept choking: "I just want to wait here for my father to come back."
"Your father"
Hua Rujin raised her eyebrows with dull eyes.
Nini's father has been missing for three years. If he was really alive, how could he watch a whole family being bullied like this?
Not everyone is as cool as the Zhang brothers.
I'm afraid something unexpected has already happened.
She suddenly thought of the headless male corpse on Huangli Gang.
The daughter-in-law can still fight to the death for justice for her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, but how can her own son, nephew, and nephew only care about compensation and ignore the murderer and the remains of the deceased?
This is really puzzling.
But if the body on Huangli Gang belongs to Ni Ni’s father, then where did Zhang Yuan’s body go?
Could the two cases be related?
Although she didn't want to connect the two cases, the weirdness in these things always made her feel uneasy.
Thinking about the headless male corpse on Huangli Gang, she vaguely remembered that when Ting An came to deliver money to her home a few days ago, she said that Ye Chengguan did not agree with the other officials of the county government and felt that the Dianshi Mansion had beaten the man into submission, and
It's not that Han Chun asked for advice from an expert.
From this point of view, the lawsuit he took on himself was probably to defend Han Chun's innocence.
"What a clever guy."
Hua Rujin sighed secretly.
This guy didn't want to close the case, but he was afraid of being accused of being a favored criminal, so he let himself take the lead.
etc.
If Zhang Yuan was not killed by Han Chun, could it be that his nephew killed him, and then deliberately framed Han Chun, and now he just turned around and extorted money from others?
This is really a difficult case.
After thinking hard, Hua Rujin slowly raised her head and glanced at the old beggar on the top of the rock, then glanced at the little girl in her arms, and said solemnly: "Nini, you come with me to the county government office tomorrow.
Now you can no longer be timid. Although our power is small, a small insect can shake a big tree. As long as we are willing to fight with all our strength, even if we cannot turn the tide, we will still make this lifeless Jingzhou Mansion tremble."
