"Sir, when I saw Zhou Mingyang yesterday, although he was crazy, he could still speak. He kept saying that there was a ghost behind him and that there was a ghost that wanted his life." Another white dragon envoy who was waiting aside said.

Qi Kun turned his attention to Shang Hongcheng.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a villain in this county government office. He would dare to silence this suspect in front of my official, Mr. Monk."

"It's just a case trial, it's not like this!" Qi Kun sighed.

Shang Hongcheng fell down directly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently.

"Your Excellency, you are aware that this matter has nothing to do with your humble position!"

He didn't dare to use these dirty tricks under the eyes of the White Dragon Envoy. Someone else must have done it.

Shang Hongcheng's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment, and he immediately confirmed the identity of this person, Zhou Mingyao.

Besides him, who else would poison his own brother at this time, fearing that he would say nonsense?

It must be him!

Shang Hongcheng thought in his heart and began to secretly hate Zhou Mingyao. This was dragging him into the water!

Qi Kun didn't have time to talk to Shang Hongcheng, "Help Mr. Shang aside and continue to examine the case."

Although Zhou Mingyang is mute, his servants are still there, and they are all well and have never been mute.

After some interrogation, the matter seemed to have taken another turn.

"...That group of refugees blocked the third master's road. My third master was so angry that he asked us to drive them away."

"The boys in the house rushed for a while, first they had an argument, and then they started fighting. The refugees were all very strong, and they beat up our slaves in Wubao, and the injuries were serious. Please tell me, sir.

ah!"

A man who looked like a butler knelt on the ground and said.

Asking the boy again, things seemed to have turned out like this.

Qi Kun picked out a terrain painting drawn by Yuntao from the table, "Is the road so narrow?"

"Yes, sir, it is indeed so narrow!"

Ask the people in Shigang Village again, the same is true.

only……

"Sir, we met the people from Nawubao on the road. We gave way and did not fight with them. When they caught up later, they really shouted, asking us to hand over our children!"

The people in Shigang Village said that the people in Wubao came here to snatch the children, but the people in Wubao said that it was just because the road was too narrow and there were gaps in the aisles.

Because Wubao built the road, they started fighting.

"Did the slaves of Wubao really catch up with them and bully them and beat them?" Qi Kun asked.

The butler immediately nodded, "Yes, sir, this dispute of will is indeed something we did wrong."

Stealing a child and having a verbal dispute are two different things.

The former is severely punished, while the latter can be dismissed lightly.

"Okay, I understand this case. If you plead guilty, you can just sign and sign it later." Qi Kun put his whole body weight on the chair behind him.

He didn't want to care about the little thoughts of the people below. Since these people admitted that they did fight and curse, the case was pretty much settled.

Assassinating relatives of the emperor will inevitably lead to death.

"Sir, no!" Yun Huachun shouted.

Qi Kun raised his head and glanced at Yun Huachun, who was standing in front of him. He didn't look like a refugee.

On the contrary, they are like the censors who suddenly jump out when they go to court on weekdays and are ready to die to learn from it.

"Sir, this case cannot be so hasty! Although the grassroots can't produce evidence to prove that this group of people came to steal the children, the Zhou family has already killed many children..."

Yun Huachun immediately told what he had heard about the past twenty years ago and what he saw on the road.

The Zhou family killed many children in the house twenty years ago. At that time, they said it was a housekeeper who did it.

Today, twenty years later, the Zhou family's Wubao is still buying children from the surrounding countryside.

"...If you don't believe it, sir, go and check the hills around Nawubao, or ask the people around you. The bones of innocent children must be buried there!"

Yun Huachun said with indignation.

After hearing this, Qi Kun was silent for a moment and looked at Yun Huachun in the audience and Zhong Da in the crowd.

"I will go and check around Nawubao based on what you said. If you give false testimony in court, you will definitely not be able to escape the crime!"

"The common people are willing to guarantee it with their lives!" Yun Huachun said and kowtowed heavily.

What he saw in Wubao that night can never be forgotten.

So many children...

They are still young and are living people.

They should not suffer in the dock, nor should they be buried under the loess and forgotten.

This case was tried in front of the people. Not only people from Shigang Village, but also many people from Shao'an City were also present.

The case involved the Zhou family, and the news spread like a flood from a bursting embankment.

As Yun Huachun walked home, he was pointed at by people on the road, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to delay at all about selling the couplets.

It would take several days to collect physical evidence, but Yun Huachun went out with his cart to sell couplets as usual.

In the morning, he had just stepped out of the yard when he saw old man Lin, who had played chess, standing at the entrance of the alley looking at him.

Old Lin had a stern face, his hands behind his back, looking at Yun Huachun coldly, and walked towards him step by step.

Yun Huachun thought to himself, it seems that he didn't say anything to make him unhappy?

I didn’t even beat him in chess!

"Young man!" Old Man Lin spoke, softened his expression, and handed over the huge cloth bag in his hand.

"This is for you."

Yun Huachun hurriedly reached out to pick it up. It was heavy inside, as if there was still water.

"Uncle Lin, what is this?" Yun Huachun asked curiously.

"I gave this to you. Once you take it, don't give it back to me." After saying this, Old Man Lin ran away.

The man ran away, but the things were still in his hand. Yun Huachun hurriedly opened the cloth bundle.

It turned out to be a jar of wine, as if it had just been dug out from somewhere, and there was little soil around the jar.

Why did Old Man Lin give him a jar of wine?

Yun Huachun was confused.

"Young man, this is a good thing! How did you help Old Man Lin? He was willing to give this wine to you." The old man in the yard next to him said with a smile, leaning on a cane.

"Old man, is there anything special about this wine?" Yun Huachun asked.

The old man is old, has lost a lot of teeth, and his mouth is a little leaky when he talks.

Manton told Yun Huachun about the origin of this wine.

Shao'an Mansion is a wealthy family, and if anyone has a child, they will definitely have to bury several jars of wine under the yard, regardless of gender.

When the child grows up, dig it out and invite relatives and friends to have a few drinks together.

If a daughter is born, when the daughter gets married, the wine will be called Daughter's Red.

If a son is born, wait until the son is named on the gold medal list, open this wine and call it Zhuangyuanhong.

The Lin family has a son who can read, but unfortunately he will no longer be able to study to be an examiner, so the wine has been sealed underground and useless.

Old man Lin now dug out the wine and gave it to Yun Huachun.

"Thank you, old man, for clarifying my doubts." Yun Huachun said with a smile.
