Chapter 173 bite back

Huang Zhixian was taken aback by the question, and couldn't help but look at Sanniang beside him.

An unconcealable smug flashed in Sanniang's eyes, but her attitude was mild.

She saluted, with a soft voice: "Madam, Master, he came to look for you just now, but you are not here, he..."

"grown ups!"

However, the two yamen servants interrupted Sanniang's words with mournful faces, crying and howling, "My lord! The statue of the mountain god in our county yamen... has been smashed!"

"what?!"

Sanniang, who was slightly upset at being interrupted, widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard this, and cried out, "Are your words true or false?!"

"Really! The arms of the statue were smashed, and the sacred soil inside spilled all over the ground!"

The yamen servant said tears were about to flow, "It's over, it's over, the mountain god will come out of the mountain in a few days, will we be condemned..."

Huang Zhixian's face was ashen, his eyes were full of shock and anger: "Who did it?!"

"I don't know! Let's come here with Lord Master and the others. As soon as we came, we saw the statue of the mountain god falling on the ground, and the sticks of incense in the incense altar were pulled out!" one of the yamen servants said anxiously.

Fang Yao quietly glanced at Huang Zhixian. Although she didn't understand what kind of medicine was being sold in this person's gourd, she felt that this kind of situation would be bad for her and everyone else.

Sure enough, Sanniang's vigilant and suspicious eyes had already looked over.

Fang Yao immediately said: "Officials, it's useless to just ask when something like this happens, let's hurry over and have a look!"

The yamen servant hurriedly echoed: "Yes, go and have a look quickly, maybe you can find some clues!"

Huang Zhixian looked at Fang Yao complicatedly, nodded and said, "Okay."

On the road, several people hurriedly trotted all the way, and she followed behind Huang Zhixian, looking at the black boots that appeared and disappeared from the hem of his robe as he walked.

Thanks to the fact that the snow in the courtyard of the county government office, except for the corner behind the corner house where no one passed by, most of the other places have been cleared, otherwise this clue is really easy to find.

Even taking her and Fan Chen can be exposed.

Before reaching the place, the few of them heard the quarrel in the mountain temple.

"Stop fucking pig farts! We don't even know there's a mountain temple here, so why come here and touch your crappy statue?"

"Broken statue? You, how dare you be so disrespectful to Lord Mountain God and say that your people didn't break it!"

"That's right! Everyone in Qingfeng County respects the mountain god very much. It is impossible to touch it casually. Except for you foreigners, there is no one else who broke the statue!"

Fang Yao's face changed slightly, and she could tell that it was Yang Gao who was arguing with the people in the yamen almost without looking.

Sure enough, after passing the stone arch, more people surrounded the small mountain temple.

Yang Gao was tall and strong, and she saw him standing in the middle at a glance, surrounded by a group of people.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Fang Yao shouted angrily, and the group of people turned their heads immediately.

"Master Magistrate!"

When everyone saw Huangzhi County, they immediately gathered around, pointing at Yang Gao and A Wu, and they were all blacked out.

Fang Yao walked up to Yang Gao and the others, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Did they arrest you?"

Yang Gaogao said in a low voice: "No, we felt that the mountain god worshiped in the village was not quite right, so we came out early in the morning to wander around, but when we encountered this incident, we started arguing."

While listening, Fang Yao secretly watched Huangzhi County's every move.

The latter has a dignified face, and the person in front of him seldom interrupts when he speaks, and nods frequently. He seems to be listening carefully, but he hardly looks in the direction of the statue.

It wasn't until Sanniang waved away the crowd and saw the statue on the ground that she burst into tears in surprise and anger, Huang Zhixian couldn't help but look over.

Seeing this, he paused, then quickly walked over and squatted down.

Huang Zhixian slowly picked up the broken arm of the statue and looked at it carefully, then frowned and looked at the black sand spread on the ground.

After a while, he got up and said: "When you came, this statue was like this? Has anyone touched anything here?"

"No, it's like this since we all came here..."

Everyone shook their heads.

Huangzhi County's detectives immediately possessed him, and began to ask seriously, "When did you get here? Did you find any other clues and people nearby when you came here..."

Fang Yao watched with cold eyes.

Those people talked about each other, but to her it was all bullshit.

Suddenly, Sanniang stood up suddenly, pointed at Fang Yao, and shouted: "It's them! It must be them! The statue of the mountain god has been here for almost two years, and there has never been any mistake, but when they came, something happened. thing!"

This is the first time Fang Yao has seen Sanniang have such a ferocious face.

Everyone quieted down, and even Huang Zhixian looked over with complicated eyes, a little confused: "My lady, this mountain god statue is very important, if you..."

Fang Yao looked at this man, a handsome and elegant skin in her eyes, but it was even weirder than others.

If he said directly in front of everyone that this matter was done by the magistrate Huang, no one would believe it, and it might even put them in an even more embarrassing situation.

She smiled faintly, laughing so that Huang Zhixian was a little dazed, and didn't know how to say the following words.

"Officer, look at what you said. Since the mountain god is so effective, she must have seen who hit her. Isn't she about to go to the mountain to worship her old man soon? Who hurt her by then, don't ask Do you know?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard her words.

But Huang Zhixian's face suddenly turned pale.

But soon, he calmed down and nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

As for the others, they also thought it was feasible, and even San Niang, who was emotional, had no objection.

"Don't think that being Huang Zhixian's wife can get away with the crime, when the mountain god gets angry, just wait!"

Probably in order to find out the "real culprit" as soon as possible, this group of people couldn't wait to set off earlier.

Some people were arranged to deal with the mess here in the mountain temple, and others started to pack up.

Soon, before noon, Fang Yao got into Fan Chen's carriage again and left this miserable county office.

The carriage creaked and walked on the rammed earth road in the city. Fang Yao lifted the curtain of the car a little and looked outside.

Most of the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and the thick snow on the road was left unattended, and the wheels in front just rolled over one after another, leaving deep axle marks.

"Most people in the county have also gone to Qingshen Mountain, so the street is very deserted." Fan Chen's faint voice came.

Fang Yao said "hmm".

She saw a donkey cart coming out of the alley in front of her. The man was driving in front of the cart. Behind it was a simple wooden board with no canopy, only a bed and quilt, and a woman was holding a "offer" on it. The jar, tucked inside the bedding.

Not only that, but there were also people on the street carrying burdens and following the convoy on foot.

Fang Yao became more and more curious about the peculiarity of the mountain god. Even in this snowy day, everyone in Qingfeng County yearned for him.
