It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 492
After all, the white-haired old man was old, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly described to Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu how they could find Lizheng in the village after going out from his house. go.

Mu Liuyun could also tell that the old man was really scared. Considering his age, it was no wonder that he didn't intend to embarrass him too much. After several people drank water in turn, they thanked the old man. left his little yard.

Lizheng's house was not difficult to find. There was no one in sight in the village. They followed the path pointed out by the white-haired old man and found a spacious and clean courtyard. It's nothing in the county town, it's just ordinary, but it looks extraordinarily grand when compared in this village.

When they came to Lizheng's house, Yuan Jia wanted to call the door, but Yuan Mu called him back and motioned Yuan Yi to go.

His intentions were obvious. Among them, Yuan Jia looked the fiercest. The people in this village were already trembling, but now they saw a black iron tower with a swollen face calling the door outside the yard, afraid It's to scare the hell out of me.

Yuan Yi was much more friendly than Yuan Jia. He waited for Yuan Jia to follow Yuan Mu's wishes and retreat behind the others, and then he stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Is anyone at home? Is this Li Zheng's house?"

After shouting a few times, the door of the room inside was carefully opened a crack, and a person poked his head out from inside. This person looked about 40 years old, and he had a kind-hearted appearance. Sorrowful, seeing a few unfamiliar faces outside the courtyard, hurriedly walked out tremblingly.

"Heroes...I am the Lizheng of this village. I don't know what you are doing?" When he spoke, he tried hard to force a smile on his face, but there was a tremor in his voice.

Seeing that Li Zhengzhen was still guarding in the village, not hiding and not daring to see others, Mu Liuyun was relieved. According to what they had discussed before, she jumped off the horse and showed her prisoner. Badge: "Are you Lizheng of this village? We're from Gyeonggi Road, and I'm asking you for some questions!"

When Li Zheng saw that it was someone from the government, he was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly opened the door tremblingly to let them in, and hurriedly let them into the main room, frantically trying to light a fire to boil water for the officials to make tea.

Yuan Mu waved his hand to signal him not to worry about that, Lizheng could see that this was the one with the highest official position among the group of people, so Yuan Mu told him to put down everything in his hands, and he obediently obeyed, his honest appearance looked pitiful .

"What's going on in your village? Why is it that in such a situation, there's no one to be seen inside or outside? Don't you need to do farm work? The days are passing?" Yuan Mu asked where he was.

Li Zheng's legs were trembling, and he carefully peeked at Yuan Mu's expression, as if he wanted to judge something from his expression.

"As for adults, villains don't know anything..." He swallowed hard and answered.

Mu Liuyun saw that he was scared and had to bravely glance at Yuan Mu, and observed Yuan Mu's reaction, and he could guess in his heart that it seemed that the county magistrate of Yiling County had been killed by his father. After the strange illness, it is only said that these strange powers and gods should not only be completely turned a blind eye, but just stood by and watched, and may even secretly instruct others to deal with the "sacrifice to heaven".

Otherwise, it is impossible here to know that they are all people from the government, but still dare not tell the truth, and be careful not to mention where the people in the village have gone. He is probably worried that even the criminal minister will not agree with them. Like the county government, they all eat this kind of heresy.

"You don't have to be afraid, we didn't come to your village to catch some boys and girls." Mu Liuyun said to him, "We heard that there have been strange things happening in Shezhou recently. , That's why I came here to investigate! You can tell us anything, and we will find out the villains who make trouble."

Although Mu Liuyun had spoken very sincerely, there was still a skeptical look, his head drooped, his eyelids drooped, his feet subconsciously twisted back and forth on the ground, and he looked restless.

"What? You still don't believe my words?" Mu Liuyun frowned, "No matter how the government of Yiling County here handles these matters, we will settle them one by one in the future. You just need to know that we will Mr. Xing was personally appointed by the current Holy Majesty to supervise the suspicious cases of criminals and prisons in Gyeonggi Road on behalf of His Majesty, and to deal with treacherous villains.

So no matter what your local officials have done, we will never condone and cover up, let alone collude with them. "

Hearing what he said, Li Zheng looked at Yuan Mu who was sitting upright. He was really a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that this young man was actually appointed by the Holy Master himself. With such a high position and authority, Mu Liu just thought about it again. After Yun's words, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Master Qingtian! The villain has offended you so much, please make amends! The villain is also forced to helpless, there is no way, I am afraid that if he is not careful, he will not be able to protect the innocent women and children in the village. It is not because he intends to deceive the adults!" He said. He kowtowed and cried.

Seeing this, Yuan Yi at the side quickly stretched out his hand to pull Lizheng up, so as not to bruise his head if he kowtows like this again.

"Since you are also kind and want to protect others, how can I blame you." Yuan Mu motioned to Yuan Jia to straighten the chair, "You don't need to apologize, just sit down and talk."

Lizheng's forehead was red and swollen, and his face was full of tears. He must have been frightened and looked miserable. Now that he could sit down and talk, he was even more upset, and thanked him vaguely. While messing with the sleeves, he wiped the tears from his face.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Liuyun could only sigh aside.

Look at what this honest Li Zheng has been forced into!A good person, trembling like a frightened bird, when he saw the official sent by the government, he didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend!
During this period of time, it seemed that Li Zheng had endured a lot alone, otherwise he wouldn't have been so full of grievances.

"My lords and villains are really powerless. I don't know what to do!" Li Zheng wiped away his tears and snot, and said, sobbing, "In the county seat of Yiling County, there are still a few people nearby. On Zhuangzi, there have been strange things happening recently, such as well water turning into bloody water, or something unprovoked, someone got a strange disease and died...

I don't know what's going on, and I'm terrified in my heart, but those people had to come to our village to arrest people. Although I'm also afraid of some evil things, I hope someone can calm them down. Live in that evil monster, but... the children in our village, the big girls and the young wives are also innocent, I can't watch them being arrested and sacrificed to heaven! "
