Chapter 59 Judgment
Hearing what the governor said, Xiao Ruo also turned to look at Xiao Xun.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a clear jaw line, it was still her familiar handsome face.

"Your Excellency knows him?"

"I have never seen grown-ups."

The two said at the same time.

Hearing what the people around her said, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but look at Xiao Xun again.

But Xiao Xun stood like a pine and cypress, calmly looked at Zeng Yongbo, didn't look at her, only squeezed her palm through the sleeve.

"Ah, oh, I haven't seen it before, and I can't remember it for a moment. Maybe it's a young man with a strong character, so I feel familiar hahaha!" Zeng Yongbo nodded and smiled.

This young man was neither humble nor overbearing, and he dared to look directly at the governor of the dynasty without fear, which he appreciated very much.

"Come and recognize the one kneeling below, but the thief who robbed your children last night?" Zeng Yongbo asked, pointing to the person kneeling on the ground a few steps away, with his face pressed against the ground and not daring to look up.

Xiaoruo thought a lot in her head in a few seconds. She thought that Xiaoxun might regain her memory that shopkeeper Ding said last night. Could it be that Axun has already remembered something?

Did Governor Zeng really know Axun?Then why didn't he admit it?

What does A Xun pinch my hand mean?Let me not ask now?

Or he thought it would be risky to recognize Zeng Cishi, so he didn't want Zeng Cishi to tell the truth?
Thoughts were going back and forth in her mind, but it didn't appear on Xiaoruo's face, she squinted her eyes to recognize the shivering person kneeling on the ground.

The light in the prison was dim, and the brightness was increased by a few lit candles. In the shadowy candles, Xiaoruo saw that the man's left hand was scorched black, and it was only scribbled in a cloth to fix it. Can burn.

"My lord, it's this person!" Xiaoruo replied affirmatively.

Hearing Xiaoruo's voice, the person kneeling on the ground trembled even more, his whole body was like sifting chaff.

"Then tell me in detail."

"Last night, my son Lang and I came back late. As soon as we walked to the door, we saw this man kidnapping my younger sister. My son Lang chased him hard, and then he subdued him by the city wall and snatched my younger sister back." Xiao Ruo said .

"My lord! She, she is a witch!" The kneeling man suddenly raised his head, his teeth bared and hissed, "She is a witch! My hands, my hands were burned by her!"

"Presumptuous!" Seeing the prisoner's crazy expression, Jin Hui got up and rushed towards the governor.

He yelled sharply, picked up the fire stick leaning against the wall, and hit the prisoner's leg. With a bang, the half-body human tooth was knocked down again when he got up, and fell flat on the wet and cold floor of the cell like a bird without a bird. A few breaths of toad.

"Your hand was burnt by the lantern during the fight, so what does it have to do with me?" Xiaoruo looked calm, staring at the toad coldly and said, "I haven't said that you injured my family Axun, the two elder brothers of the yamen servant can testify."

Jin Hui, who was mentioned, put down the fire stick in his hand, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "That's true. Last night, Tian Lixin and I patrolled the night together. When we walked to the edge of the city wall, we heard the sound of fighting and children's cries. We thought it might be It was Ren Yazi who robbed people in the middle of the night and followed the sound, it really is this thief who is doing evil."

"At that time, the girl was holding the frightened and crying baby, and the young man was lying on the ground. Presumably, he was injured by a thief. We also found a human whip on the ground." He presented an eight-inch short riding whip.

Zeng Yongbo took the short riding whip and looked through it carefully.

The short leather whip is flexible and compact, and is easy to carry. It can hurt people's flesh when whipped, but it will not cause fatal danger. It is usually carried by people to teach disobedient animals.

The so-called human sacrifice refers to the people who are bought and sold by them.Those who were abducted or forcibly plundered were bought and sold without dignity, like poor animals, so they were called human animals, and the whips used to beat them were called human whips.

"Hmph!" Zeng Yongbo threw the whip on the ground fiercely, looked angrily at the prisoner lying on the ground and asked, "You don't abide by the court's laws, sell your beloved, and even pick young children, causing people to be separated from each other. , you are guilty!"

The people lying on the ground did not move.

Play dead?Xiaoruo snorted coldly in her heart, she had seen countless dead people in her previous life, she could tell at a glance if they were real or fake, the thief was just trying to pretend to be dead to escape punishment, how could it be that easy.

"My lord, I know a little about Qihuang Pharmaceutical. I happened to bring a Resurrection Pill. Why don't I give it to the thief, so that he won't be able to bear the punishment and die before the details are found out, which wastes my lord's time."

"Oh?" Zeng Yongbo looked at Jin Hui, he had to make sure what Xiaoruo said was true, in case she was just talking nonsense, it would be wrong to take the fake medicine and kill the prisoner.

Jin Hui understood, walked to Zeng Yongbo's side and whispered in his ear: "Last night, I heard from Shopkeeper Ding of Jiuxin Medical Center that this woman is some kind of director of their Qinzhou Medicine Chamber of Commerce. I think she really understands the art of Qihuang."

Only then did Zeng Yongbo nod his head, and promised Xiaoruo to use the Resurrection Pill she mentioned.

What kind of Huanhun Pill is this? It is a pill made by Xiaoruo from lotus seed heart, coptis, flavescens, gentian, etc. It has no other effect.

The biggest feature is described in one word: bitter.

Two words to describe: very bitter.

Three words to describe: very bitter.

The bitter thing is that one Buddha came out of the body, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, refreshing the mind, and the suffering was unspeakable.The pain was so painful that people couldn't faint even if they wanted to, and they were soaked in the sea of ​​bitterness from the soles of their feet to the top of the sky.

It is completely a product of her bad taste.

Fearing that the thieves would get violent again, Xiaoxun took the pill from Xiaoruo's hand and motioned him to feed it.

The thief who was pretending to be dead clenched his teeth tightly and did not open his mouth. Xiaoxun pinched his jaw with two fingers and forcefully removed his jaw. After throwing the pill into his closed mouth, he dislocated it again. His jaw snapped back with a click.

As soon as the pill was put into his mouth, snot and tears ran across his entire face.

He wanted to spit it out, but the pill was mixed with a lot of starch, which stuck tightly to his palate. If he wanted to spit it out, he could only lick it with his tongue, which made it even more bitter.

In pain, he cupped his throat with both hands, rolling and twisting on the ground.

"Okay, my lord, he's already in good spirits now, my lord can just ask, if he passes out again and doesn't answer honestly, I'll take care of my Resurrection Pill." Xiaoruo said with a smile.

Hearing what Xiaoruo said, Ren Yazi couldn't control his tears anymore, he knelt down in front of the governor, kowtowed like garlic and said, "My lord, my lord, I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

Zeng Yongbo was shocked by the effect of the Huanhun Pill, but at this time it was more important to interrogate the prisoner. He sat upright, slapped the gavel, and asked, "Why did you sell your lover? Do you have any accomplices? Where is the kidnapped child now?" ? Hurry up and recruit!"

"I, I also collect people's money and do things for others..." Ren Yazi said as he wiped the snot that was about to flow to his mouth with his still intact right hand, and continued: "Accomplice, I don't know how many accomplices there are." , are all arranged by the above..."

"Every once in a while, we go to Room [-], Tianzi, Yuelai Inn to collect money and tasks. They arrange what kind of human sacrifices we want to catch, and we just catch them..."

"Most of what they want are children, and occasionally teenagers. The kidnapped or trafficked people and animals are all locked up in the mountain temple outside the city..."
