"Your Excellency, you can know anything you want. If it's about Min Rong, we'll tell you everything, but if it involves the entire Xining Village, I'm sorry!" The two old people suddenly became tough, and they meant not to say anything.

The feeling of guilt that Yuan Yan originally had was immediately subdued, and he immediately became cold, "Although the case of Min Rong has been submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as long as there is new evidence, the case can be overturned. Since I accept this case, I will not give up easily! Since you don't say anything, don't blame me."

"What do you think? To be honest, we think you are a woman, so we are so angry! When you say that you are a magistrate, when did the court use a woman! We didn't blame you for being disrespectful to us, but you wanted to intimidate us?" The two immediately said furiously. .

Yuan Yu was already full of anger. Too many things happened in the past two days, which made her clueless. Now, one of them is missing under her nose, and she meets a stubborn old man.

So Yuan Yan's face turned cold, and she slapped the Eight Immortals table with her hand, and the table shattered in response. She clenched one hand into a fist and pointed at the two of them, "Stinky old man! You are rude to me! Since you don't say it, you will Don't even think about opening your mouth! Don't expect to keep this village!"

"Petty girl! What are you talking about!" The two old men also jumped up and said angrily.

He Yao immediately walked up and said to the two of them, "You don't have to believe that we are members of the government, but don't be complacent! If you want to bring the secrets of the village into the underworld, that's up to you! Today we are only here alone, since you are so unwilling Cooperate, it seems that we have to go down the mountain with all our soldiers and horses, and then come to visit you guys in person!"

Both the two of them and the two old men stood up. The atmosphere was very bad. Although the old man flinched, he still refused to speak out.

Until the time for a stick of incense passed, someone suddenly ran in from the door, howling while running, followed by a beautiful girl, who quickly grabbed him and beat him.The beating did not stop until his head was covered in blood.

Of course, the four of them stared at the girl beating the man, but none of them asked her to stop.

"Elder, elder help!" The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the beating, and he was so tongue-tied that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he begged for mercy.While the girl wasn't paying attention, she ran towards the old man in a hurry, but of course she was chased.

"What's the matter with you baby? How can you hit someone?" The old man blew his beard and stared at the beating girl.

The assailant was just provoking, she was staring at the man with wide eyes, her face flushed, and seeing the old man refused to give way, she slapped him without even thinking about it, "Fuck. You, sir! He molested you!" Me, your aunt, can't I beat him?"

It's rare for Rehuan to be so grumpy, and it seems that he is indeed irritated.

"Elder, this woman says she is a fast catcher." The man behind said timidly.

"Hey, who is that, take care of your men." The two old men couldn't stand Re Huan, seeing that Re Huan was going to beat them, they hurriedly asked Yuan Yu for help.

Yuan Yu and He Yao actually found a chair to sit down calmly, took a cup of tea, blew it coolly, and occasionally raised their heads, "Didn't you just say that I am not a magistrate, then she is not a policeman, a commoner Fighting, what does it have to do with us girls! Girl, please continue!"

Yuan Yu gave Jae Huan a look, and Jae Huan immediately grabbed the three of them side by side, and slapped them all down. The three of them were kicked and beaten, and the three of them knelt down and begged for mercy. .

"I said it, I said it! I said it!" Finally, an old man couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Yuan Xi.

Only then did Yuan Yu wave her hand, and obediently avoided the two old men, caught the man and beat him up again, then grabbed his neck by the back of his collar, dragged him out to find a rope to tie him up with the dog.

Only then did the old man sit down tremblingly, and Yuan Yan kindly asked He Yao to pour them another cup of tea.

"The reason why the village was built in this way was the result of the discussion of our ancestors 500 years ago, but we don't know why we did this. We were born here and grew up here, so we have almost never been afraid. Our elders have instilled in us since childhood One thing is to sacrifice to the ancestors properly, otherwise it will lead to disasters. But if you ask more carefully, the elders will not say more."

"It's not a secret." Yuan Xi said.

The two old people looked at each other and continued, "Actually, in our generation, all the secrets have been lost. We only know one secret, which is the name of this village."

"Xining Village? What secrets can the village name hold?" He Yao asked.

"We also asked our elders why we are called Xining Village, because the pronunciation of this word is similar to death, and death is better than death. Doesn't it mean that we will have peace after death? How unlucky! Later, the elders told us , the name has a meaning, it is to commemorate and comfort the dead, and it also means going west, and it has the same pronunciation as the word for rest, and it also means to calm things down."

"Comfort the dead? Who to comfort?" Yuan Xi asked.

"We don't know, but we heard that there are more than one. But we really don't know what the purpose of the construction is. To be honest, we don't draw topographic maps here, because we are afraid of scaring people to death. The government sent people to draw maps last year, and we still tried every means We covered it up, even transplanted peach trees, and built houses. Unexpectedly, Min Rong’s case happened later, and the government also said that we were unlucky, so we didn’t paint again.”

"Wait, you said that someone from the government once came? When?" Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and stopped in mid-air, asking like a flash of inspiration.

"In late October of last year, there were not many people coming to the village, so it was even more novel to have officials coming to the village. This was impressive, and the second day they arrived, Min Rong killed his wife, and the officials immediately came to arrest her. He also evacuated his house."

"Didn't the village say anything to Min Rong?" He Yan shook his head and asked.

"What can I say? I just want to give money. Zhang Xianzhang, the county magistrate, is superficially obedient to the public, and the outside is full of praise! Rumor has it that our village is so beautifully built. The predecessors must have left a lot of good things. He doesn't want things. Let us To give money, and not to give cash, but to open an account for him at the ticket number and deposit the money, and then give him the deposit receipt. Without anyone noticing."

"The ticket number is to protect the information from leaking out. This trick is really clever!"

"That's right, especially the gold-lettered signboard of Yuan's Bank, which doesn't recognize anything but money. You don't take the money and don't give it to you when you deposit it. It's highly confidential. Zhang Xian is used to this method. It's not the first time we've been caught. He blackmailed."

"Oh? So, there are more?" He Yao gave Yuan Xi a meaningful look.Yuan Xi didn't speak.

"Well, three years ago, a thief entered the village to steal things, and the next day he was found killed by a dog. To be on the safe side, he reported it to the police. Then Zhang Xian said that it would be fine if he took 5000 taels, otherwise he would arrest the villagers and convict him. Everyone in the village was in danger, so of course they actively raised money, and then deposited it according to that statement, and after giving it to him, he has been safe."

"Sure enough, there is a way to make money! I know where his money comes from." He Yao said.

Yuan Xi stood up, walked a few steps, and continued to ask, "That's all?"

"En." The two old men looked at each other again and nodded.

But when Yuan Xi thought of Min Xian's hesitation to speak, she was sure it was more than that.But how many times can the old man survive the beatings before he can fully confess?It's hard to get them to talk.What's more, they have also provided some help, and it is not appropriate to beat others.

So, Yuan Yan asked He Yan to send the two old men out, and went to the yard by herself, and saw that Rehuan was using hemp rope to tie up the limbs of the man just now like a pig.

"Who is this?" Yuan Xi asked Rehuan.

"This is the person you are looking for." Rehuan said, stood up with a flick of his long hair, and pointed to the man on the ground.

"Chi Yu?" Yuan Xi glanced at the man.

The man immediately nodded pleadingly.

"Let go of him and bring him in." Yuan Yu said to Rehuan, after walking a few steps, she found that Rehuan didn't let him go, but just dragged him on the ground with a rope.

"Why are you so angry?" Yuan Yan asked out of curiosity.

Re Huan immediately kicked him with a flushed face, "This old whore actually wants to touch my hand!

"Have you touched it?" Yuan Xi raised an eyebrow and asked lightly.

"I hid for a while, but he rubbed my arm." Re Huan said.

"Oh." Yuan Yan stretched out his hand expressionlessly, asking Rehuan to hand her the rope.

Although Rehuan was not convinced, she remembered that Yuan Yan said that as long as she was obedient, it would be fine, so she handed her the rope.

Yuan Xi helped Chi Yu untie the rope, and held his shoulders kindly, showing a beautiful smile that ordinary people can't see, laughing, "My niece is just so irritable, Mr. Chi, I have something to say." I want to ask you, if you are injured, I will help you."

As Yuan Yu said, she pulled Chi Yu's arm, Chi Yu's face turned pale from the pain, and she couldn't shake it off.

"Why, you don't give me face?" Yuan Xi held him with one hand, calmly.

"No, no." Chi Yu managed to squeeze out a smile.

Yuan Xi dragged her into the room by her arm.
