Bai Rong hugged Lu Qiaoshui and refused to let go, her eyes were dull and nervous, and she muttered from time to time but she didn't know what she was talking about.

Kong Xiangyu pawned the pair of silver bracelets for a bag of silver. He bought meat, rice, and a small coffin.The coffin was placed outside the dark room, but Xiao Shui's body was never put in it.

He fumbled to start a fire in the stove to cook, and his hands were scalded with several blisters because of his blindness.He can't cook, and neither can the Luming Mountain in his memory.The white rice was put into the pot without washing, and the water was poured over and over again. Fortunately, the rice was cooked when the pot was started, but too much water was neither like porridge nor rice.

I don't know the taste of food, so I fill my stomach in twos and threes.There are still two bowls of rice on the table, I don't know if his mother will eat it.He picked up the hoe and basket that Bai Rong used to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots on weekdays, and walked up the mountain with a blind stick.

He can't just live on that bag of money, he has to find a way to make money.Blindness is no reason, he is not a cripple who can only be taken care of.The mother he finally got, he can't be depressed.

The hoe poked blindly at the mountain soil for a whole morning, but found nothing, and his hands were already full of scars.

Suddenly there was a heart-piercing scream from the cemetery, it's his mother!

Kong Xiangyu rushed to the cemetery in a hurry. He couldn't see the road and bumped into the bamboo pole several times on the way. When he was approaching the foot of the mountain, he almost rolled and crawled into the dark room.

There is a man in the dark room, the voice is Wang Shunzhi's father who is a soldier.Xiao Shui in Bai Rong's arms was thrown to the ground by him casually, and he tore Bai Rong's clothes fiercely.

"Your short-lived husband has been dead for so many years. Why do you want to be a widow when you are so beautiful! That fool Feng Chi only knows that he is gone now, you might as well follow me and you don't have to live a hard life .”

Bai Rong bumped her limbs and kicked non-stop, but her strength was no match for Wang Bingtou.

Suddenly a blind stick fell angrily and hit Wang Shunzhi on the head with such force that blood was seen in the blink of an eye.

Wang Bing was dizzy for a while, clutching the back of his broken head and took two steps back, suddenly saw his official knife in the corner of the room.Without even thinking about it, he picked up the official knife and wanted to slash at Kong Xiangyu's face.

Bai Rong screamed in shock, turned around and hugged Kong Xiangyu, and was slashed on the back.

"mother--"

Although Wang Bingtou was wielding the official knife, he didn't kill him. The knife looked scary, but it was only a flesh wound. He wiped his face and wanted to chop again.

Who would have thought that before the official saber fell, there would be an impatient bell ringing from all around, the soul-repressing bell hanging here had long been useless and could not make a sound.

Kong Xiangyu's eyes were red, and he said sharply: "Didn't you say that I am the plague god? Didn't you say that there are ghosts in this cemetery? Yes, you are right, there are indeed things in this cemetery, and you can get them tonight." kill you!"

Wang Shunzhi held the official knife and looked at his face with a fierce face, but his expression seemed a little flustered.

"Bullshit! No matter how powerful the things in this tomb are, they can't beat Master Liu's spell. The expert said, the things in this tomb can't make waves at all, so don't scare people!"

Kong Xiangyu stretched out his hand to protect his mother behind him, and said viciously: "If you don't believe me, try it."

Wang Shunzhi was full of dissatisfaction, and held up his official sword as if he wanted to come again.However, before the knife fell, thick fog rushed into the house from the dark room.

A black shadow loomed in the dense fog, dressed in black and with long hair, full of ghostly aura.

"Hold!"

Wang Shunzhi waved twice and ran away like crazy.

Kong Xiangyu couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and sat slumped on the ground. What he just said was pure nonsense.It was just to scare Wang Bingtou deliberately with the ringtone, who knew that Wang Shunzhi was so careless.

Enduring the pain and sobbing, Bai Rong wanted to hug Xiao Shui on the ground, Xiao Shui's body was already stiff, and there was still a faint smell of corpse on his body.

Kong Xiangyu yanked at his mother, and said sharply, "Don't cry! Xiao Shui is dead, can you wake up!"

Bai Rong shrank back in fright at his roar.

After Kong Xiangyu yelled, he slapped himself backhanded, grabbed his mother's arm and choked up, "I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, it's my son's fault." He took Bai Rong's hand and slapped himself on the face: "You hit me Mother, hit me..."

Bai Rong shivered for a while, then touched his cheek with a cold hand, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Bury Xiaoshui."

Kong Xiangyu buried Lu Qiaoshui's tomb next to the cemetery, where there was an empty tomb, which belonged to their father.He took out a handful of maltose from his pocket and put it on top of the small water coffin before covering it with the adobe.

Muttered: "Go to a good family in the next life, don't suffer anymore."

Kong Xiangyu counted the remaining money, he planned to find a lawyer in the town, he wanted to report to the police!Lu Qiaoshui died after being forcibly fed poisonous mushrooms by Wang Shunzhi and others, and Feng Chi had to reverse the case for them.

If he doesn't take the initiative to take some measures, the life between him and his mother will become more and more difficult.

But the price of hiring a lawyer is too expensive, and the little money he has is not enough.After several inquiries, I learned that there was a scholar named Mu in the town, who said that he had a good literary talent, but unfortunately he failed to pass the exam several times. His family was poor, and he occasionally took some jobs as lawyers, and the price was cheap.

When Kong Xiangyu heard that the surname was Mu, he thought of the Mu family a hundred years later, but when he heard that there were several scholars surnamed Mu in the area, he felt that he was overthinking.

Mu Xianshi has no wife or children in his family, his parents died early, and he is the only one left.In addition to reading and writing on weekdays, he occasionally sells calligraphy and paintings, and his income is poor.Sometimes eating is a problem, which is quite similar to him now.

When Kong Xiangyu found Mu Xianshi, his body was covered in injuries, and his clothes were torn with mud and blood stains. At first glance, he really thought he was a beggar.

But Mu Xianshi always pays attention to etiquette, when talking to him, he is also gentle and polite, and he doesn't speak rudely.

Kong Xiangyu handed over the remaining money in the bag to Mu Xianshi, and told all the injustices he had encountered.

Mu Xianshi slammed his fist on the table angrily, and said angrily, "Is there any law left! Is there really no one in the world to be an official?"

After finishing speaking, he took a pen and paper and wrote the pleadings, he said: "Don't worry, I will help you settle this matter, I will not take your money for nothing, and we will go to court in three days, and I will reverse the case for you .”

Kong Xiangyu cupped his hands and bowed: "Thank you."

In addition, a strange thing happened in the village, Wang Bingtou died.

On the second day after Kong Xiangyu drove Wang Bingtou away, he said that he drowned in the stream whose water level only reached his ankles.

When the body was picked up, there were five blackened pinch marks on the back of the neck, which was obviously a homicide.Wang Bingtou's domineering wife even invited a coroner. After the coroner's examination, the coroner only said that the murderer was a gloved man, but did not leave any clues.

That's all right, but the strange thing is that Wang Bingtou's wife withdrew the idea of ​​reporting to the police when she heard that she was wearing gloves. Zai.

Three days later, Mu litigator handed the pleadings to the court as promised, and Kong Xiangyu was worried that he needed to deal with it, so he had no choice but to go to the tomb to get the money again.This time, he took two ingots of gold ingots, but he also told the owner of the tomb that he would never use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the courtroom, Mu Xunshi stood on the left side of Kong Xiangyu, and on the right side were three teenagers, Wang Shunzhi, Liu Qiankun and Li Dan.On both sides of the hall stood eight yamen servants, holding water and fire sticks in their hands without anger.

There are many people around the hall, most of them are villagers from their village.Standing in the front row was Wang Shunzhi's grumpy and unreasonable mother. This woman had just lost her husband and now her son was called to the court again. She was crying and cursing outside the court.

Most of them scolded Kong Xiangyu for being a broom star, plague god and so on.

Kong Xiangyu straightened his spine. Although he couldn't see clearly, his eyes were fixed on the parents and officials above the court.

It's ridiculous to say that this is the second time he has gone to court, the last time he was the defendant, but now he is the plaintiff.

Snapped--

The gavel was shaken vigorously on the table, and the wailing and cursing outside the hall finally became much quieter.

Master Guan glanced at the poisonous mushrooms wrapped in handkerchiefs in front of him, and asked the three teenagers kneeling below: "The plaintiff said that you forcibly fed these poisonous mushrooms to six-year-old children, causing them to die." Death, is there such a thing?"

The three teenagers trembled but did not dare to speak. Wang Shunzhi turned to look at his mother outside the door with a pale face.Before getting a response, he was scared back by a gavel.

"I'm asking you something, what are you looking around for?"

The official frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and sighed: "I have been handling the case for the first time, and this is the first time I have encountered a prisoner your age. You should think clearly, murder is a crime, and it is a serious crime of beheading." .”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be beheaded, Liu Qiankun cried out in fright. He was about to speak but was choked back by a cough from outside the hall.

It was Liu Qiankun's father who coughed.

The official looked sharply at Liu Shengun: "Who is outside the hall?"

Liu Shengun hastily bowed his hands and came in from outside the hall with a dry smile.Pulling up his robe, he said: "The youngest is Liu Qiankun's father. This matter is of great importance to human life. How can these three children know so much at the age of teens? If not, let the young one say a few words, it will always be You can't be wronged for nothing, can you?"

Kong Xiangyu's knuckles creaked, there was absolutely nothing good about the Liu God's stick opening his mouth, he was annoyed and held down by Mu Xianshi on his shoulders.

"Don't panic, we have enough evidence."

Kong Xiangyu nodded and said nothing more.

The official said: "Oh? Could it be that you want to say that the plaintiff is lying?"

Liu Qiankun hurriedly said: "That's not a complete lie. Luqiaoshui did die from poisonous mushrooms, but it wasn't the three children who forcibly fed them. He ate them himself."

"..."

Kong Xiangyu suppressed the anger, but he knew that the most taboo thing in the courtroom was quarreling.

The official sneered, and said: "Mu Lianshi's pleadings clearly stated that this poisonous mushroom is notoriously inedible in your village. Even though the child is young, he knows the pros and cons of it. What's more, the plaintiff once took the victim to the doctor's office. The doctor in this medical center also signed the pleadings to confirm the cause of death. Now you say that he ate it himself, it is too far-fetched."

Master Guan pointed to Kong Xiangyu, who was kneeling in the hall, covered with bruises, and said: "The plaintiff has been abused and abused by these three children many times in the village, and even nearly strangled to death. Back clean.

Burning houses, occupying fertile land, bullying and killing people, any one of these is a crime of beheading in prison. "

Liu Shengun was speechless for a while, and then suddenly raised his head and said: "Master Guan, you can't just listen to one side of these matters. What's more, the other party has hired a lawyer. We country people don't know how to argue. We might as well wait for the small integration. Would you like to hire a lawyer as well?"

The official said solemnly: "What place do you think this is? You, a defendant, are still negotiating conditions with this official? What crime do you think the people in the hall have committed, stealing a few vegetables? Or is it a small fight among children? ?” The official’s face changed, and he said sharply, “What they committed is a serious crime of murder!”

Li Dan, who was listening on the sidelines for a long time, couldn't help it, and said: "Then they also killed people, why don't they be convicted..."

In the middle of speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Shengu's slap on the back.

The official hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, and asked with a serious face: "Let him go on, what do you mean they killed people too?"

Kong Xiangyu was covered in cold sweat, he guessed that Feng Chi's murder would be revealed.But Master Mu Xian helped him analyze it, and said that if the man hadn't died, he would have died.What's more, this person didn't die at his hands, one matter is another matter.

If you want to sue Feng Chi for murder, you have to file another case that has nothing to do with this matter.

Li Dan became dumb after being slapped, he didn't know the pros and cons of it, he only thought that the village suppressed this matter, but he didn't know the reason.

Liu Shengun hurriedly took out a black box from his sleeve, and said: "Master Guan, I have evidence here, you might as well take a look at it first. If you think it makes sense, let me go back and hire a litigator later, if not, that's okay." It’s really unfair.”

The official lord signaled the servant to bring up the box. The box was black and old, and looked very ordinary.But when the official opened the box, he found that there were two layers of golden gold ingots neatly stacked inside.The large number made him unable to help but have a new definition of this ordinary villager under the hall.

The official coughed dryly, closed the lid of the box, gave a gavel with his hands, stroked his beard and frowned and said: "There is such a thing, it seems that this is not a simple matter."

He waved his hand and said, "This case is postponed until you invite a litigator to try it again. I will withdraw from the court."

"What do you mean! Why delay?" Kong Xiangyu couldn't see, and couldn't help feeling anxious.

Master Guan ignored him, and left the hall with the wooden box in his arms.

Master Mu frowned, helped Kong Xiangyu up, and said with a dark face: "I don't know, the box is secretive, I think it's not easy. You have to be mentally prepared, if they hire a lawyer who is better than me , I may not win."

Kong Xiangyu held the blind stick in his hand, full of anger and had nowhere to vent.
