It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 284 No Soot
She looked at Yuan Mu, thinking that Yuan Mu's face would be solemn and gloomy, but unexpectedly, she saw his face was calm, not only did not become more depressed, but it seemed that even the previous troubles had disappeared.

Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi at the side also looked at the expressions of their elder sons, but no one made a sound as they stood aside.

"Are you hungry?" After a while, Yuan Mu suddenly asked Mu Liuyun, but what he said was not related to the previous one.

Mu Liuyun's mind was still filled with the things that happened one after another in the past few days, and he didn't come back to his senses all of a sudden, he looked at Yuan Mu blankly, and then realized what he was asking himself.

At this time, not to mention that she was frightened and almost lost her life. Now she can hardly feel her own stomach, let alone the feeling of hunger. Sometimes it is impossible to really tell your superiors that you are hungry!

In the face of major events, you must have a positive attitude that forgets to eat and sleep!

Although the official position is not very big, the careful thoughts and thoughts floating around the gate of the yamen are still very transparent.

She immediately held her head high and said, "My lord, I'm not hungry! I want to go to the county government to check the situation right now!"

Mu Liuyun felt that what he said was righteous and accurate, and it could be called a model for subordinates to answer such questions as Shangguan!

However, she saw the corners of Yuan Mu's mouth quivering and ticking upwards...it seems to be...smiling?
Does this mean you have a good attitude?Or do you feel like your reaction is too silly?She's a little out of touch.

Yuan Yi gave Yuan Jia a wink, and then said to Yuan Mu: "Master, you were also tired just now, we two brothers will go to get some food and drink, and we will fill our stomachs later and then go to the county government. It’s too late, otherwise if the fire hasn’t been completely extinguished, we can’t go in rashly, in case there’s something wrong.”

Yuan Mu nodded at him, and Yuan Yi dragged Yuan Jia out of the room.

After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Mu Liuyun suddenly remembered that he had been soaked in a hot water bucket with his clothes and clothes just now, and was a little dazed for a while, and then hurried over, and Yuan Mu led him to say After getting down to business, she hasn't thanked him for her kindness yet!

Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun hurriedly stood up and bowed to Yuan Muna: "My lord! If you hadn't broken into the scene of fire just now, I would have died with that old gangster right now! My lord's life-saving grace , Mu Liuyun has no teeth to forget! In the future, I will do my best to share the worries of the adults, and the next life will be a knot of grass..."

"There is no need for an afterlife." Yuan Mu stretched out his hand to pull Mu Liuyun up, "I only believe that the things of this life are finished in this life, and I never believe in the theory of cultivating the afterlife."

"My lord's kindness, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to repay it in this life..." Mu Liuyun didn't expect him to reply to him like this, and answered the words a little embarrassingly.

Yuan Mu smiled lightly: "There will be a chance."

After a while, lunch was ready. They rescued the girls the night before and sent them home. The grateful villagers stuffed them with a lot of things, so today's lunch seemed much richer.

Jiang Jin also came down now, Mu Liuyun waved at him, he smiled at Mu Liuyun, he looked the same as before, but he did not continue to be angry with her, which made Mu Liuyun relieved in one breath.

"Are you...just getting up?" Mu Liuyun saw that Jiang Jin's feet seemed to be a little fluttering when he walked, thinking that he didn't sleep the night before, that's why he looked a little dazed now.

"Yeah." Jiang Jin nodded, "You just came back from work?"

Mu Liuyun originally wanted to tell him that she was almost trapped in the burning yamen, but she changed her mind when she got to her mouth.

Otherwise forget it!If you tell Jiang Jin about this, maybe Jiang Jin will have to preach to himself again. The two of them have just eased back now, and Jiang Jin is thinking about Yuan Mu promising him a good job. At this juncture, it is better not to have any conflicts up!

She swallowed the matter of the fire, and didn't reveal anything about it. Jiang Jin also looked ignorant. Only Yuan Mu looked up at Jiang Jin silently, but she didn't expose anything.

After lunch, Yuan Jia went to visit the Yuyong County Yamen, and came back not long after, saying that the fire had already been extinguished, and there was a mess over there, and those who escaped when the fire broke out were also gone. They refused to continue to guard and ran away.

Yuan Mu called everyone to set off together, and went to Yuyong County Government Office again, or rather, the burned Yuyong County Government Office.

After the fire was extinguished, there were no people around to watch, and the dilapidated county government looked even more deserted. When Mu Liuyun saw the burned and dilapidated courtyard, he thought of the dangers he had faced before, and felt a twitch on his back. layer of cold sweat.

While feeling scared in her heart, when she looked at Yuan Mu's back in front of her, the gratitude in her heart became stronger and stronger.

A group of people walked through the wet vestibule, bypassed the ruins with residual smoke, and finally found the original location of the prison.

Yuyong County used to have such an incomprehensible county magistrate like Wu Rongzhi, so naturally it was impossible to be conscientious in political affairs. If there was any discomfort on weekdays, he would beat him with a board, and he would be dragged out and thrown on the street outside the gate until his body was covered in blood.

The common people dare not speak out against him. Even if there is a conflict and they want to sue the government, he will make a mess in the end. Nothing is a good result, and it is common to turn black and white.

Because of this, the people of Yuyong County are also used to not "trouble" the county magistrate in everything, so Wu Rongzhi doesn't have to worry about these things. There is no one else in the county prison except for the gang of thieves and monks.

After all, the prison is the most indestructible place in the entire county government. Even if it was burned by fire, it still stood tall, but the original wooden prison door, fence, and straw mats used to keep warm in the prison were all destroyed by the fire. burned to ashes.

Mu Liuyun came prepared this time. When he arrived in the prison, he found the charred bodies that had already been burnt black.
It has long been impossible to tell who is who from these corpses, and there is only a whole human figure left. She skillfully turned one of the corpses over, put her wooden box on the ground beside her, and took out a long stick from it. Take a bamboo stick, tear off a small piece of cotton wool, twist the cotton wool skillfully on a section of the bamboo stick, and insert the bamboo stick into the nostril of the charred corpse.

When the bamboo stick was pulled out, the cotton wool on it was still the same.

Mu Liuyun pried open the jaws of the corpse again, stuffed the bamboo stick in and wiped it a few times before taking it out again, but there was no obvious change.

She used the same method to look at the few nearby ones, and they were all like this.

"My lord, there is no soot in the nose and mouth of the deceased, it really was set on fire after he was beaten to death!" At this point, Mu Liuyun didn't need to waste any more time, stood up and said to Yuan Mu.
