Hearing Zhou Ling's words, Zhong Zhixian also looked at the woman sitting on the side. Maybe it was what Zhou Ling said, and he should have mentioned it, although he didn't know why Zhou Ling asked these unimportant things about Shantou Village. , but the first-level official crushed people to death, and they beat him several times, and he was just a foil. Of course, whatever Zhou Ling asked, he just followed.

Wu Xiyan glanced back and forth at Zhongzhi County and Zhou Ling. It was obvious that Zhou Ling had a higher official than the magistrate, otherwise the magistrate would not be respectful to Zhou Ling, and the question at the moment had nothing to do with the case. Zhongzhi County Dare to say one more thing, it is obviously because Zhou Ling's official rank is not enough.

"Master Zhou, this seems to have nothing to do with the case, right? I don't need to..."

Zhou Ling said calmly: "It's irrelevant, but your information is unknown. As a party involved, you should provide accurate information to the Yamen."

Zhongzhi County had already exchanged glances with the master, and then glanced at Wu Xiyan and Zhou Ling. Although he didn't know the reason, the way Zhou Ling looked at Zhao Shi from before was definitely not simple, and it was even more ridiculous now. He asked about things that had nothing to do with the case, and asked about things that were not at all important to the case, which made him more sure of his thoughts, so he immediately echoed and said, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Zhao, if you remember, you can Let me tell you, I can also record the household registration information in detail. After all, if the word "unknown" is brought to the Holy Majesty later, I may not be able to protect Usha, or you can see it for the sake of the officials who work hard for the people. , Think about it with difficulty, so I can register."

Wu Xiyan looked at Zhong Zhixian's appearance, and knew at a glance that the other party would not say even if he knew it was not.

"I moved to Niujia Village from other places with my parents when I was seven years old. I haven't heard my parents mention it. I really don't know where my ancestral home is. If you ask, I only have the memory of growing up in Niujia Village."

Zhou Ling looked down at the teacup in his hand and asked, "Then do you know who your parents and relatives were originally?"

Wu Xiyan really wanted to confuse Zhou Ling: You don't understand human speech or something, why don't you ask in a different way!

She is still sane, of course she wouldn't say that, besides, she is also a little strange, Zhou Ling said that since yesterday, she has looked at her strangely, and when she heard that her parents are from other places, this person looks at her even more Strange.

Wu Xiyan didn't know the little Jiujiu in Zhongzhi County's heart. As for Zhou Ling, she didn't bother to think too much about it. She just wanted to get the money and leave quickly. She had to go after those scumbags, so she said directly to Zhongzhi County: "The magistrate is a parent official. There is nothing you can't say. Besides, what I say can be regarded as testimony. The testimony included in the file is not afraid to talk about those who have passed. I will start when they appeared in the village."

Wu Xiyan felt that there might be something wrong with Zhou Ling, but she didn't intend to pay any attention to it. The purpose of her coming to the county government office was to provide information in return for money, and she would leave if she wanted it.

That is to say, he can't stretch his head and shrink his head. He still stands still obediently, which is better than being chopped off.

Wu Xiyan heard that although what the county magistrate said was true or false, there was nothing unremarkable about her, and besides, she was not the original body of the shell, so she didn't care so much about being gossiped, it was just the lack of flesh on her body. The place is a bit scary, and the old lady turned around and told her not to tell others, that is, if she signed the agreement, if there was trouble in the future, it would probably harm the old lady's family.

After finishing speaking, Zhongzhi County secretly glanced at Zhou Ling, seeing that the other party had no intention of objecting this time, he was relieved, and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

Zhong Zhixian said: "Then how many people are there? Do you know who they are? What kind of people are they? Don't worry, just speak slowly and tell us carefully. We will get their detailed clues soon. We can catch them!"

Without giving Zhou Ling a chance to speak, she said directly to the magistrate: "Master Zhixian, I am here to tell you the news about those people who have harmed me and the village. Why do I feel that Master Zhou is not like this? Want to know those clues, but interrogate me like a criminal, do you want to suspect that I have something to do with those people?"

Fortunately, the master who went out to find someone had already returned, so he immediately looked at Wu Xiyan for questioning.

"Zhong Zhi County."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's not detailed. You can say a few words in general, and we will make a record and just go through the motions."

The master had already turned around and left, but the few people in the inner hall were not talking.

Wu Xiyan directly put the stack of papers back into the small bag, and then said: "Master Zhixian, you said that you must be sure before you can give me money, but you don't know who they are, let alone what they look like, so you didn't You can’t tell whether my information is true, will you not give me money immediately after reading the information?”

"Miss Zhao, tell the county how you were during those few days..."

"There are 30 of them. As for the information I probably know, I write it here... What are you doing?"

Wu Xiyan sat down again, took a sip of the tea, put it down when the astringency was too strong, and looked outside.

"That Mrs. Zhao, my head doesn't mean that, I just want to ask clearly, the Holy Majesty is really not joking, so... don't take it wrong, magistrate, don't you think so?"

Zhong Zhixian said: "Master, you immediately go to someone called Niujia Village, and ask someone to find that Wen Po from West Street. That Wen Po has a strict mouth."

Zhongzhi County said with some embarrassment: "Indeed, the money will not be given until you find someone to verify it. But don't worry, the county has decided to give you half first, and then give you the rest when someone is caught later?"

Zhou Ling rang out with a cold voice, and Zhong Zhixian subconsciously felt a shudder down his spine.

After a while in his mind, Zhong Zhixian and the master looked at each other, obviously the master also understood, so he also understood what he meant. Fortunately, he was accompanied by someone who was responsible for it, so it was not too miserable.

Wu Xiyan looked at Zhou Ling coldly, not knowing what he wanted to do, so she looked directly at Zhou Ling in a cold voice, expressing that she was not at all happy, and said, "What do you mean? It's just that someone recognizes me, why do I need someone to test me?" body?"

"I don't remember. I was sick before I came to the village, and I got better after I got to Niujia Village. I don't remember the previous memories after I recovered from the illness. The later memories are all the days in Niujia Village. As for my parents, I once asked them to say that all relatives are dead, so I didn’t ask again, so I really don’t know where it is. Mr. Zhou, I think the question you asked has deviated. I think that compared with my ancestral home, Aren't the homicide cases in Shantou Village more important than me and my parents?"

Wu Xiyan saw the magistrate who was stared at by Zhou Ling's murderous eyes and dared not ask further, and said, "The magistrate wants to ask me how I survived, right?"

Zhou Ling looked as if he was about to kill someone. Wu Xiyan was surprised for a moment, but seeing that there was no malice towards him on the system page, he probably thought that she had lived in the hands of scum for a few days. The one who was so angry after being abused and fed up his brain, swallowed some words he wanted to say.

Wu Xiyan originally wanted to hand it to Zhongzhi County, but seeing Zhou Lingmeng reaching out to take it, she subconsciously withdrew her hand and didn't want to give it to this guy.

Zhong Zhixian looked at Zhou Ling holding a teacup in his hand, but his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhao, while Zhang Ge didn't know what he was thinking at the side. The inner hall was so quiet that he could hear a needle drop. For a while, he felt an unbearable feeling. .

Zhongzhi County was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Ling's words, but he immediately said: "Miss Zhao, what Master Zhou said is very true. I remember that someone in this Niujia Village has seen Mrs. Zhao. It just so happens that someone in the town is from Niujia Village. Yes, if you are really Zhao Qingniang, you are not afraid that we will find someone to verify your identity, right?"

"Not only have I seen them, I have lived in their hands for three days. These scumbags will feel sorry for the dead people in the village."

Zhou Ling said again: "Besides, Mrs. Zhao also needs to have Po Wen's body checked."

The directory that Zhou Ling held in his hand was torn in two, which made Zhong Zhixian's heart ache.

Zhang Ge paused, looked at his head Zhou Ling's actions, and fell into deep thought.

Zhong Zhixian immediately said: "Yes, yes, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhou really has no malicious intentions. You are the only living person in Shantou Village. We will only protect you, so how can we treat you as a prisoner. You say yes, Zhou grown ups?"

Zhang Ge looked at his head and made such an inexplicable request. As a subordinate, although he didn't know why, he knew that the head would not be unreasonable, so he agreed: "Uh, Mrs. Zhao. My head means Shantou Village Zhao Qingniang has given birth to a woman, if you are her, then Wen Po will be able to verify it, and we will no longer suspect that you are a fake Zhao Qingniang, so we have an explanation to our superiors, after all, the Holy Majesty saw the information and nothing happened Big and small, so we won’t blame us for not knowing where your ancestral home is before, so you naturalized without knowing such a big thing.”

Zhou Ling nodded: "Okay."

He can't offend such a big Buddha, he can only offer it to him, especially since this person seems to have taken a fancy to Zhao Qingniang's appearance, he also can't offend him, otherwise he will lose his love if the big Buddha comes to settle accounts after the fall.

Zhong Zhixian didn't know the case handling process of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but both of them said that it should be like this. As the county magistrate, he naturally couldn't hold back.

Without Wu Xiyan opening his mouth, Zhou Ling said abruptly: "How can we believe that you are Zhao Qingniang from Shantou Village, and those people will never let you live. If you are really Zhao Qingniang, those people will never let you go!" Thank you. If you prove that you are Zhao Qingniang, I will immediately give you all the money you provided, how about it?"

Zhou Ling's hand that wanted to take the stack of materials was in vain, and he looked at Wu Xiyan with red eyes, who was obviously vigilant but looked at him with a hint of anger, his heart suddenly fell, but he calmed down.

Zhou Ling didn't intend to stop asking: "You..."

Wu Xiyan also gave Zhou Ling a strange look, but she didn't intend to waste time, and hurriedly, then lowered her head and took out a stack of papers she had written yesterday from the pouch on her waist.

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Zhao, for the sake of the county's dedication, can you please cooperate with us in handling the case? Don't worry, Wen Po is a professional, and she is not a broken-mouthed person. If you are worried, we will You can ask Mrs. Wen to sign the agreement, and Mrs. Wen will never reveal anything to the outside world. Master, you should write a contract immediately, and sign it for Mrs. Wen when she comes. If she reveals it, it will not only be her, The family even sat down."

It's over, I'm done playing, my head is planted!
Wu Xiyan said that when Zhou Ling was transparent and directly ignored the other party's eyes staring at her, and Zhang Ge peeked at her like a ghost, she couldn't bear it, she just wanted to get the money quickly and leave the yamen!

Tear!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ge immediately stared at his head, and looked at Wu Xiyan with a gloomy face, and his thoughts became more solid in his heart.

Zhang Ge looked at Tou in doubt, the words were too gentle, he would have thought he had heard it wrong, but looking at Tou's gentle gaze, he knew that he hadn't misheard, his head started yesterday , I am getting more and more strange about this Zhao Qingniang, especially now, I don't think I like this married lady Zhao!

Zhou Ling nodded: "Yes."

"Master Zhou...how about I take a look first? Mrs. Zhao, can I let the county take a look first?"

Zhong Zhixian glanced at Zhou Ling, then nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the information provided is true, one person will give 100 taels of silver."

Thinking of this, Wu Xiyan also said: "You don't need to write an agreement, just inspect it. But after you prove that I am Zhao Qingniang, I can give you the information, and then you have to give me the 3000 taels of silver that I deserve, not less than a copper coin. "

"There is no need for protection, but magistrate, I see that as long as the information on one of them is true on the imperial list, they will reward 100 taels of silver. Is this true?"

Zhongzhi County is suffering. Others may not know Zhou Ling's identity and background, but he will know that the person standing behind this person is not an ordinary person. The family background alone is enough for him to drink a pot, let alone his relatives. For the family, anyway, he, a seventh-rank sesame official, would never be able to provoke him, so he overestimated himself with an egg hitting a rock. It should be said that an egg hits a boulder.

Zhou Ling stared at Wu Xiyan, as if he wanted to find a trace of sadness on her face, but no, he felt that he saw a person who looked down on everything after returning from the gate of hell, without sadness or joy.Even the people in the village, the dead husband, the son, the in-laws and relatives have no feelings of grief. It is conceivable that the hell on earth she has experienced is not an exaggeration.

He originally wanted to stop her from talking, because he was afraid that she would not be able to remember those things by herself. Now it seems that he was too worried.

But it also made him feel sad, how much torture would it take for her to become the state of mind she is in now, thinking of this hellish torture, it is not difficult to see that a woman who should be plump has become this obviously skinny It looks like a clothes hanger, what a tragedy it will be.

"You don't need to say it too carefully, just a few simple sentences."

Zhou Ling's hoarse voice sounded, causing several people present to look at him, but it was not surprising to see that his complexion was dark, and then everyone turned their heads away from him tacitly.
