The county magistrate was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, while the children who were brought out quickly threw themselves into the arms of their parents and cried with joy.
They all abided by their agreement with Nanshu. They only said that they were knocked unconscious, blindfolded and taken to an unknown place. Later, they were taken away by human traffickers, and the governor rescued them!
It covered up what happened in the cemetery and also proved the fact that the county magistrate and the human traffickers colluded!
Nan Shu approached the county magistrate step by step, smiling evilly, but in the man's eyes he looked like a ghost who had announced his death sentence.
"Why, Lord County Magistrate, didn't you welcome me before? Today I brought 666 rescued boys and girls to sacrifice for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Why are you so scared?"
The people in red clothes in the audience had learned the truth from the children. They were furious for a moment, their eyes were red, and their emotions were on the verge of explosion!
Luo Cheng still wanted to make one last quibble -
"Sir! This... this is someone trying to frame me! It's not... it's not me... it's not..."
Nan Shu was so majestic at this moment that he directly interrupted Luo Cheng's sophistry and kicked his chair over.
"Bold Luo Cheng! I was favored by the emperor to serve as an official for the common people! But I colluded with human traffickers to kidnap and sell children in the county! I am a governor personally appointed by the imperial court, and the traffickers have been executed and confessed! You allowed them to abduct and sell children wantonly, and you also got involved in it.
Collect profits!”
The young man took out the account book he had obtained from the butcher and his wife before, opened it and shouted to the common people——
"The witnesses and evidence are here! The county magistrate Luo Cheng collaborated with human traffickers to harm the people and collected huge sums of money that are difficult to estimate! Today, these evil deeds are exposed in broad daylight. On behalf of the emperor, I, the governor, strip him of his official position, property and
If you live in your home, this person will be handed over to the people, and the court will not provide any protection!"
After saying that, Nan Shu tore open the account book page by page, and threw the overlapping papers from the high platform, like snow in June, falling into the hands of every official enjoying the banquet below!
Luo Cheng knew he was desperate. After hearing Nan Shu's words, the people in the audience finally burst out with uncontrollable anger. Regardless of whether they had a dick in their hands or not, they all roared and were ready to rush to the altar and eat this dog official alive!
A man's body is already bloated, how could he escape the palms of thousands of people?
As soon as he jumped off the altar, his leg bones were broken by the impact. Before he could get up, he was surrounded by furious parents. Punches and kicks fell like raindrops, and screams and wailings continued one after another.
"Ahhhhhhhh! I was wrong! I was wrong!!! Give me a chance!! My money... all my money is for you! Let me go! Let me go!!"
The heart-wrenching screams gradually became smaller, and the faces of the officials in the audience turned pale, but no one interceded for him.
Huo Yin did not expect that Nan Shu would reveal the truth in this way, but he did not stop the sacrifice. He raised his hand to signal the singer and musicians to start playing. The beautiful music and the shrill screams formed a strange scene.
It makes the superiors' hair stand on end, but makes the common people applaud!
"The heaven protects you, and the hole is solid. If you are weak and thick, why not eliminate it?"
Huo Yin held a string of copper bells in one hand and an elegant paper fan in the other. He danced on the altar, and the songs in his mouth became clearer and louder——
"Heaven Baoding Er, Bier Jian Valley. Everything is suitable, receive heaven's wealth!!"
The familiar prayer song seemed to move God. The dark cloudy sky was suddenly broken by the sun, and then a ray of bright sunshine shot down!
Nan Shu looked at the people who were crying with joy. He also stepped forward and sang a song to pray for snow with Priest Huo Yin!
"You are blessed with great blessings, but the support of the sun is not enough. God protects you, so everything will be prosperous!!!"
While singing, the young man raised his hands, and the sunshine on the two of them, the young figure was like a god who truly brought blessings to the people, as if in a dream.
Huo Yin walked to the altar of five-color earth, picked up a handful of earth and sand, and walked to the tribute on the altar with a loud sound like a bell——
"God's blessings are great, how blessed are you! The people's quality is great, daily food and drink - all the people of Li are virtuous!"
After saying this, he knelt down devoutly while holding the five-color soil, while Nanshu sang this widely sung song with the people amidst the sound of music——
"The auspicious name is used as a gift, and it is used to enjoy it with filial piety. The temple is used to taste it, and it is the ancestor of the king."
The common people no longer looked at Luo Cheng, who had lost his breath, and started singing together with Nan Shu!
"The king said - Bu'er will live forever!"
After the song ended, people's emotions still could not calm down. Amidst the roaring roar, more than 20 years of suffering finally came to an end.
"Longevity Buer!!!!"
"Longevity without borders!!!"
The news that the children had been picked up by the governor and that the county magistrate had been executed was reported to the people who returned to the county town. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. This scene seemed to be more exciting and joyful than the Chinese New Year!
In the county government office, the master who learned the news was completely desperate and hanged himself in his bedroom, ending his life.
The county magistrate's son, Luo Qian, disappeared when the male townspeople rushed into the government office to search for him.
"Damn it! Those thugs actually beat the old man to death!"
Luo Qian was wearing an undershirt and was still "enjoying" in the bedroom. Suddenly, he learned that his father had been beaten to death. He escaped without thinking too much!
He indeed hoped that his father would die early, but definitely not at this time, let alone in this way!
Luo Cheng fell, and his official position and family property were gone! The Luo family was finished! He had no hope for the rest of his life!
He stabbed the guard blocking the city gate with his family's sword. Luo Qian hurried out of the city gate, preparing to stop a carriage and flee the place. In his panic, he stepped on the wrong foot and fell directly into a trap!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! My legs - my legs!!!"
Luo Qian's leg was tightly clamped by a trap. He was bleeding profusely, his bones were broken, and his flesh was pierced, making him worse than death.
He was still struggling, but suddenly he discovered that the things under him were female corpses!
He still has impressions of some female corpses with delicate faces! He was the one who broke and threw away the women!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Ghost! Ghost!!!"
Haven't these corpses been disposed of long ago?! Why are they here?! What's going on?!
The double mental and physical torture made Luo Qian almost collapse. He could only cover his broken leg and howl at the bottom of the pit, just like a mad dog.
Qin Yugu and the hunter walked out of the hiding place, and standing beside the trap was the coachman who had previously transported the body to the government office.
The girl smiled and thanked the coachman and hunter.
"Thank you both for helping me dig this deep hole this time and transporting the bodies of these girls out of the government office. If I were the only one, I really don't know what to do..."
The slightly dull hunter was now excited and shook his head.
"Girl, you are acting on behalf of heaven! If you hadn't provided me with a position, I wouldn't have been able to avenge my daughter!"
That's right, Qin Yugu returned to the county town with him after entrusting his younger brother to the hunter's home.
The hunter followed her instructions and laid a trap outside the county town. He even placed a bear trap specially so that the wolf-hearted thing could taste the pain of flesh and blood!
Then she went to the coachman who had been transporting the body in the government office, told them that Mashan was about to fall, and told them the truth about the body.
The coachman had already sensed the clues about the female corpse, and with Qin Yugu's persuasion, he finally agreed to cooperate with her in transporting the female corpse out of the government office and hiding it in a deep pit dug by the hunter, allowing this beast to fully understand what it means to be a real corpse.
despair!
Everything was as Qin Yugu expected. When the news of Huo Yin's success in Nanzhu came, Luo Qian immediately abandoned her ancestral home and fled from home. She encouraged the people to chase him and led him to the direction of the deep pit she had prepared in advance.
, watching him successfully escape after deceiving the guards into trusting him, you know that everything has come to an end!
Luo Qian was still a young man, and his physical strength was naturally much better than that of his father. Even though his leg was broken and bleeding profusely, he still screamed like a slaughtered pig. She looked indifferently at the young man who was still cursing viciously.
Luo Qian also recognized her, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Qin Yugu with a bright red finger tremblingly, with a look of disbelief on his face——
"Why is it you? You...were you not possessed by a ghost...didn't you die of corpse plague?!!"
The girl smiled brightly, but the words she said made Luo Qian's heart burst -
"The most damned person is not dead, how could I pass away from this world!"
Luo Qian was so frightened by the girl's words that his eyes widened in the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body collapsed completely, losing his breath.
"You're so unafraid...you can still do such a heinous thing..."
Qin Yugu sighed and shook his head. In fact, if you look closely, those female corpses were just ordinary rotting corpses. She just borrowed some powder from the people's houses in the town to put on makeup. They were not the remains of those poor girls at all.
The real body is still well preserved. After this time, the coachman will deliver it to the gate of the government office for the family to claim!
Although this is still a bit cruel, it may be the last bit of comfort for these young girls who have died in love to return to their families.
"Little girl! You are really amazing! We didn't expect that all the missing girls in the county would fall into the hands of this beast. How did you know?"
The girl was looked at with great respect by the two grown men and smiled sheepishly.
"It's nothing. It's just bold inferences and decisive actions. It's not a great skill!"
After all, this father and son are so heartless that they want to destroy all the evidence and let themselves get away with it!
Otherwise, she would not have come into contact with the replaced body, let alone suspect Luo Qian!
As the sun broke through the miasma, Qin Yugu looked up at the suddenly clear sky, smiling broadly as he remembered his original promise.
The county town was filled with loud cheers and festive gongs and drums. Everyone was celebrating this historic moment, and the girl's heart relaxed a little.
It was finally over, she had severed her past, and she could face the new life after rebirth with a new mentality!
"It is axiom in the world that there is God's will in the world, and evil people will have their own evil retribution, and I...what I said will definitely be done!"
And the sunshine in the sky, just like the promise the girl made to the moonlight in the government office, truly shines on this impoverished city and on the hearts of everyone who is trying to live.
"Sister, are you really not going to explain it to everyone in the county?"
Qin Jianghuai and Qin Yugu were sitting on the carriage heading to the county town. He leaned obediently on the girl's knees, his eyes still dim and with a hint of confusion.
"It's not necessary. After all, there is something wrong with the governor's identity. If I leave, the court will hold me accountable instead of holding the people accountable."
Nan Shu's identity will not be revealed so quickly. As long as she is given enough time to divert her attention, the matter of the people in the county sanctioning the dog official will still be unresolved.
The girl smiled and touched Qin Jianghuai's chestnut-colored fluffy hair. Before the two left the county, they left enough money for travel expenses. Others bought luggage and good clothes. Now they look comfortable and decent.
"But...my sister has done so much, and no one knows in the end..."
The boy seemed a little bit upset about Qin Yu's bones, but she just smiled.
"So Jianghuai, you risked your life to save the kidnapped children, do you want others to remember you?"
He shook his head decisively.
"No! I just want those people to pay the price they deserve!"
The child's mind was still too simple. Qin Yugu patted him on the back and looked at the increasingly hot weather, a little dazzled.
"Since you don't seek to be remembered and your goal has been achieved, there is no need to regret it, right?"
"Is...is that so..."
She felt Qin Jianghuai feel very comfortable, and after a while, the boy fell asleep while bathing in the sunshine.
"Eh...you are still too young after all..."
Even though children in this era are young and sensible, she is a modern person after all.
In Qin Yugu's era, which teenage child was not enjoying the pampering of his parents? How could he be like now, homeless, not even knowing where he would sleep tomorrow...
When the girl was feeling sad, the coachman suddenly pulled the reins hard, the horse's hooves were raised high, and the whole carriage shook violently.
"Uu——!!!"
Qin Yugu grabbed the edge of the carriage with his backhand and fixed it, covering Qin Jianghuai's body, ready to be thrown off the carriage at any time.
Her expression also became extremely serious. Qin Jianghuai woke up, but was silenced by the girl.
"Shh, don't make a sound!"
After whispering a warning, she pressed the boy and slowly stretched out his head to observe the situation outside.
The carriage was stopped by several ferocious-looking officers and soldiers, and the carriage driver also looked confused and frightened.
"Several military masters! What...are you doing?"
"We brothers are here to hunt down suspicious people under the orders of the county governor. Who is sitting on your carriage?!"
The carriage driver didn't think Qin Yugu was suspicious, so he told her about her existence.
"Just...a little girl and her brother...her brother is still blind..."
It is true that the officers and soldiers did not continue to suspect, but they obviously did not intend to let them go.
"Who knows if what you said is true? Bring them down and have a look!"
"You three don't need to embarrass Uncle, I'm right here."
Qin Yugu walked down from the carriage with Qin Jianghuai in his arms. His face was cold and elegant. His plain dress was cut into a short length for ease of movement, revealing his long white legs. The proportions and skin texture were extremely perfect. His forehead A touch of silver hair dances in the wind, like a beautiful fairy.
She doesn't care about the customs here. If she encounters danger with Qin Jianghuai, the long skirt will greatly limit her efficiency in escaping with her brother.
But the coveted sight of these people made her very uncomfortable.
"Little girl...you...where did you come from?"
"The deserted village in the county next door."
The officer and soldier took a step closer, and he took a step back with Qin Jianghuai in his arms, his face still cold.
They had knives on them and she couldn't act rashly.
"Who are you looking for here?"
The officers and soldiers took a step forward again, Qin Yugu frowned without leaving any trace.
"Why do the officials want to ask about this? When the government investigates suspicious persons, do they still need to interrogate everyone about their whereabouts and circumstances?"
The other two officers and soldiers also blocked Qin Yugu's retreat, and the fierce look on their faces gradually turned into another expression that made the girl feel even more dangerous.
"And the little girl is wearing so little... she's not afraid of being looked at by outsiders..."
"In broad daylight, if you are walking and sitting upright, why should you be afraid of others looking at you?"
Holding the boy in her arms tightly, Qin Yugu's calf bones began to accumulate strength. As long as these people dared to move more, she would make them look good!
"Really? I see that you and your brother have just come here...you are helpless, why don't you sit at our brother's house?"
Qin Yugu is on the verge of breaking out, these people are really bullying others!
"Master Jun! This girl is still a child. You three cannot bully children..."
The carriage driver stepped forward to try to persuade him, but he was pushed to the ground by an arrogant officer and soldier. His forehead hit the edge of the carriage, and he immediately started bleeding.
"..."
Qin Yugu didn't speak. She slowly put Qin Jianghuai on the ground, and then helped him tidy up his clothes.
"Jiang Huai, just stand here and don't move. No matter what you hear, don't move. Is that clear?"
Qin Jianghuai nodded.
"Okay! I won't move. Sister, please pay attention to your safety!"
Although I don’t know what Qin Yugu wants to do, usually when she speaks in this tone, someone will definitely suffer!
These officers and soldiers didn't know what Qin Yugu was going to do. After she asked Qin Jianghuai to stand, she rushed to their side, grabbed his fingers and broke them upwards, causing a crisp bone cracking sound and a scream.
The officers and soldiers were also frightened by her sudden attack, and the other two also drew their blades and prepared to attack Qin Yugu.
"If anyone moves again, I'll break their neck!"
Qin Yugu hugged the officer's head and controlled his neck with her wrist. As long as she wanted, the girl could make him die on the spot at any time.
"Don't move! Don't move!"
The officer and soldier were wailing at the top of their lungs. This girl had just broken his finger, so he would not doubt the truth of her words.
"Go away! Stay away from my brother! If you dare to touch him, you two will never survive!"
Qin Yugu dragged the officers and soldiers away as if dragging a dead dog.
Her eyes were fierce and terrifying, and the officers and soldiers no longer had any doubts. As long as they really dared to harm Qin Jianghuai, the girl would immediately fulfill her promise.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, then the sound of galloping horse hooves came quickly, and a tall man with a handsome appearance came down immediately.
"What are you doing here?! The county governor asked you to investigate suspicious people, and now you are oppressing the people here!?"
It was obvious that this man was their commander, and the officers and soldiers' faces became increasingly pale.
Qin Yugu still held the officers and soldiers' heads alertly, refusing to relax at all.
"Are you their commander?" The girl turned to face the tall man, with a terrifying expression on her face.
How can he be a good official if he allows his subordinates to oppress the people and now comes out to stop them in a sanctimonious manner?
In this case, the possibility of deceiving her trust together and then stabbing her secretly is even greater!
"Girl! Don't be impulsive! Let him go and we'll have a nice talk!"
"What's there to say? Didn't you see that he hurt someone? He also wanted to do something wrong to me! Do you think children are easy to bully?!"
Qin Yugu stepped on the man's broken finger bones again, and the screams sounded again, making everyone around him feel numb.
"The knife has been pulled out! If I didn't hold his neck like this, do you think I can still stand and talk to you now?"
She looked like she was being forced into a dangerous situation and looked at the man fiercely.
"I lost the knife, get over there, or I will take away at least two of you today! If you have the guts, give it a try!"
Lin Feng finally saw the horror of this girl today. She looked like a well-behaved girl, but she was actually a young female villain!
"I can't believe your words. It's you who hurt people now!"
He was also a principled person. Qin Jianghuai still stood still and did not make any sound.
He will do whatever his sister says!
Lin Feng thought Qin Jianghuai had nothing to do with this little villain, so he walked to him and wanted to take him to a safe area.
"Little brother, it's dangerous here, please stay with me first..."
As a result, before Lin Feng could react, Qin Jianghuai grabbed his arm and bit it hard, refusing to let go no matter how hard he pushed him.
"You are slanderous! My sister didn't hit anyone first! It was them who injured the coachman Abo first! You are the bad guy!"
While Lin Feng was still struggling and could not harm a child like Qin Jianghuai, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and fell to the ground.
Qin Yugu twisted her wrist. She jumped up and was able to reach the man's neck, and knocked him unconscious with one strike of the knife.
"Tsk...he's tall but he's tough...he's also a stubborn person..."
Just now, Lin Feng did not take action against Qin Jianghuai who took the initiative to attack. She knew that this man was different from ordinary officers and soldiers, but she was not very interested in this man himself.
"Abo, are you okay?"
The girl walked to the old man and helped him up. After thinking about it, she took out the golden sore medicine she had brought with her before.
"You can take it and use it. I still have some here. It's okay."
The old man struggled for a long time, and finally took the golden sore medicine given by Qin Yugu. The girl, under the gaze of a group of stunned officers and soldiers, carried the boy on her back and entered the county town.
The prosperity of the county town is indeed completely different from that of ordinary small county towns, and Qin Yugu has truly come into contact with the ancient customs of this world.
The midday sun shines on the green tiles and red walls everywhere.
The abruptly protruding cornices, the high-flying shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the indifferent and comfortable smiles all reflect the complacency of the people in the county and city in the prosperous age.
.
There are teahouses, taverns, pawn shops, and workshops on both sides of the street. There are also many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open space on both sides, extending to both sides of the street and extending to the quieter suburbs outside the city.
However, there are still people walking on the street: some are carrying burdens on their way, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, some are driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some are stopping to enjoy the scenery in the city.
With the tall tower as the center, there are houses dotted on both sides, including teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, etc.
Walking on the streets of this era with the hot wind blowing on his face, Qin Yugu savored the bustling hustle and bustle of this otherworldly capital.
Qin Jianghuai was still worried on his back, but he did not question Qin Yugu's decision.
My sister is only talented for others...otherwise, how could she openly threaten the officers and soldiers? She even broke their fingers...
The county town is so prosperous, but after all, the people here are no different from the darkness in the county town.
This chilled the hearts of the people and made Qin Jianghuai more desperate and more dependent on Qin Yugu.
My sister is different from anyone else! She will not become that kind of person, and she will never let herself who stays around her become that kind of person!
The two of them arrived at the market in the center of the city. Qin Yugu still had a lot of money left on him and was about to find a place to stay when he saw a strange reward posted on the bulletin board.
The girl carried him calmly to the unnoticed reward and began to study it carefully.
Recently, concubines have been killed one after another in the prefecture, with extremely cruel and bloody methods...
Her eyes were attracted by the first line of words and she began to read on. The yellowed paper showed that a long time had passed since the paper was posted.
The murderer beheaded all the concubines of the prefect. The whereabouts of the criminal are still unknown. We hope that the citizens of the city will provide more information and strive to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible...
The people who catch the murderer will be rewarded with one hundred thousand gold!!!
Qin Jianghuai couldn't see it, but he noticed that his sister suddenly didn't move for a long time and rubbed her cheek.
"Sister, what happened?"
"Good thing!" The sly smile on Qin Yugu's face appeared again, "It's a good thing that we can save all the travel expenses to the imperial city at once!"
