The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 118 Weird
Xie Tingwen paid a simple tribute to the deceased. Also, due to time delays, everyone did not arrive at Chen's building until the end of the morning hour.
The golden light of the morning glow sprinkled on the city tower, and the hawking sounds in the county town rose and fell. Xie Tingwen led a large group of people through the city gate, which instantly aroused everyone's vigilance.
"Thank you, sir, what is this?"
"I don't know! Yesterday I saw people from the government rushing out of the city, and I thought they were suppressing bandits, but that doesn't seem right!"
"What do you mean?" someone asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Didn't you see the group of children protected by the yamen runners?" another person rolled his eyes.
Only then did everyone notice the children surrounded by the crowd and the yamen runners at the end of the team.
The white sails covered the area, and although everyone had their own guesses, they also knew the truth. Without further explanation, everyone knew that there must be a corpse underneath.
Several people who were looking for fun flattered Xie Tingwen and stroked his hand, saying, "Master Xie, have you caught the bandits or..."
Xie Tingwen glanced at the other person, nodded slightly and said nothing. The visitor still smiled apologetically, looked at Xie Tingwen's back and shook his head helplessly.
Unexpectedly! When the team passed through an open field.
Suddenly! A breeze swept across the area, and the white sails on the eight corpses at the back of the team were instantly lifted up by the breeze.
The horrifying scene instantly caused everyone to scream: "Ah! There's a dead body, a dead body."
Most people have seen the corpse, but it was dug up again after being buried for half a month. Not to mention the spots on the corpse, the shrunken body alone was hard to accept for a while.
The commotion coming from behind also made Xie Tingwen a little alert.
"what happened?"
As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, a yamen runner came up to him and said, "Sir! Just now...just now the white sail of the eight corpses was blown away by the wind."
Xie Tingwen frowned coldly and said angrily, "If it's overturned, I won't cover it again. Let's find something to press it down first."
"Yes!" the bailiff leaned forward and replied.
After everything was settled, the bailiffs prepared to set off again, but after only two steps, the rattan stretchers all fell apart.
Eight bodies fell directly to the ground. Such a weird scene scared the crowd of onlookers.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Xie Tingwen's face darkened and he walked to the back.
Xie Shuting frowned, patted Zhao Fangyu's hand and said, "Fangyu! Let this brother take care of it first, and I'll go to the back to take a look, okay?"
Zhao Fangyu glanced at Xie Tingwen's back and nodded slightly.
Xie Shuting easily handed her hand to the yamen runner beside her, said "thank you", and quickly followed.
Unexpectedly! When Xie Tingwen saw eight corpses lying on the ground with hideous faces, he was also a little frightened.
"What's going on?" Xie Tingwen asked coldly.
The yamen runners were hesitant and unable to explain what was going on. Just then, Xie Shuting happened to come over.
"Father!~"
As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, she saw eight corpses on the ground out of the corner of her eye, and something seemed to be touched in her heart at this moment.
Seeing the group of unmoved yamen runners, Xie Tingwen immediately said angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Send the body to the charity cemetery without a board."
"Yes!" The bailiff responded and quickly ran to the shops on both sides.
The shop owner, who had already known the situation, donated the door panels without hesitation. After all, a few broken panels were not worth much money.
If they don't give it, they will lose face when the government officials demolish the house by force. So they naturally don't mind this.
Although the door panel was lifted, the bailiffs were unable to lift the eight bodies lying on the ground.
Such a strange situation made the people couldn't help but take several steps back.
Suddenly! A breeze swept through the area again, and Xie Shuting shuddered unconsciously. She subconsciously looked towards the square beside her.
I was surprised to see the towering gate and a plaque with the three words "Execution Platform" written on it, shining brightly in the morning glow.
At this moment she seemed to have thought of something, just like what she had experienced at the door of Zhang's house.
"Father!" Xie Shuting called softly.
Xie Tingwen turned around in confusion and glanced at Xie Shuting. Seeing that the other party's eyes seemed to be pointing at something, he also turned his head to look over.
When the plaque with the three words "Execution Platform" appeared before his eyes, he looked at the eight corpses lying on the ground, and he seemed to understand.
The concept of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times.
Xie Shuting would not have believed it at first, but after going through two unreasonable experiences of time travel and rebirth, she had no choice but to believe it.
"Hey!~"
Xie Tingwen sighed, first looked at the eight bodies lying on the ground, then glanced at the people around him, and immediately made a decision in his heart.
He stroked his hands and said in a clear voice, "Beggars have appeared frequently in Gu County in the past few days. I didn't think much of it before, but after a few days of observation by the yamen runners, I concluded that this group of people are the vicious criminals who 'picked and broke branches'."
There was a commotion among the crowd, and someone indignantly asked, "Thank you, sir! Are these the people you are talking about for 'picking fresh branches and breaking branches'?"
Looking at the direction pointed by the speaker, Xie Tingwen nodded slightly and said, "That's right. I received a tip from the yamen runners yesterday, so I led people to rescue them. I didn't expect that I was still too late."
As soon as Xie Tingwen finished speaking, the crowd began to voice condemnation again. What everyone said was that they wanted to kill these people to vent their anger.
Even the lowest level dental practitioners sneer at this unscrupulous act of "picking live branches".
Most people are forced to sell their children simply to leave a chance for their children to survive, but the practice of "picking the living and breaking the branches" directly forces the other party to find it difficult to recognize each other.
Hearing the overwhelming condemnation from the crowd, Xie Tingwen immediately held back his hands and took a deep breath.
He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Last night, I have wiped out all the bandits. As for the body of the deceased, I have also brought it back. Now that the deceased's wish has not been fulfilled, I will try the case here and uphold the law."
After Xie Tingwen finished speaking, he lifted up his robe and walked towards the execution platform on the right. The yamen runners followed him tacitly.
The guard guarding his body looked at the backs of the crowd with a bitter smile. When he was about to speak, he heard Xie Shuting's soft voice: "Since my father has chosen to hold a public trial here, there is no reason for the plaintiff not to be present. You can try again."
"This!~" Several people looked at each other.
Recalling the strange scene from before, and now that they were at a loss for what to do, they tried again to lift the body onto the wooden board.
Unexpectedly, the body that was as solid as a rock was easily lifted onto the wooden board.
Such a strange situation frightened Lian Xi so much that he quickly followed, fearing that he would be contaminated by something unclean.
Feeling Lian Xi's nervousness behind her, Xie Shuting smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
"Miss! After all, these things..."
"Hey!~"
Xie Shuting sighed softly and interrupted Lian Xi's words softly, "Sometimes, human hearts are scarier than you think."
