I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Lin Xingwei was the only one who served the tea and food brought by the Feng family's wife. Wei Mingji sat on the food table at the top, half of his face was covered by a mask, and he stared at Feng Hao who was kneeling at the bottom with stern eyes.

The Yangdi army surrounded Feng Hao's village, and guarded the door of the small hall. All Feng Hao's family members were driven into the bedrooms and guarded.

The air was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard, Feng Hao looked up at Wei Mingji in bewilderment, then quickly lowered his head.This fearful silence made Lin Xingwei afraid, she didn't even dare to enjoy the Feng family's snacks, she could only sit upright and look at Wei Mingji, and at Feng Hao who was kneeling on the ground shivering.

Lin Xingwei understood what Wei Mingji's silent sternness meant. It was a kind of deterrent to the person being interrogated, making the other party unable to guess your intention for a while, and when you asked your question, the other party could say Tell the truth.

Wei Mingji played with a short knife in his hand, and finally asked slowly: "What is your relationship with Feng Hou?"

Trembling, Feng Hao raised his hand to wipe the dense sweat on his forehead, and said: "Feng Hou is the villain's cousin, and he is the county government court."

"How much do you know about him?" Wei Mingji asked coldly.

Feng Hao lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and said nervously: "His family villain knows a little bit, but other villains don't know much."

"Where is Feng Hou now?" Wei Mingji asked again?

Lin Xingwei frowned. She didn't tell anyone that Feng Hou had already been detained by his third uncle and taken to the county government office for questioning this morning.Wei Mingji asked Feng Hou when he came up, and he must be following Feng Hou just like her.

Feng Hao raised his head and glanced at Wei Mingji, tremblingly said: "Should... be at home right now? If the adults want to find Feng Hou, the villains can lead the way."

Lin Xingwei couldn't help chuckling, "There's no need to lead the way, Feng Hou is not at home, he committed a crime, and he has already been locked up in prison."

This is what Feng Hao said. He is a stingy man in this township. He is in charge of the administration of the township, collects taxes, collects taxes, arrests thieves, and manages public security.

Wei Mingji glanced at Lin Xingwei coldly, obviously he didn't expect that she would know about Feng Hou.

Lin Xingwei continued: "Tu Lushan dug up more than [-] corpses of villagers from two villages in Hexi and Hedong. This is not an ordinary murder case. The imperial court asked Xiahou county magistrate for the result, and Xiahou county magistrate asked the pavilion chief, coward and other township officials to ask for the results. As a result, everyone worked together to find the murderer, and the court will reward them for their merits. If the murderer cannot be found, then you, the township officials, will probably be responsible for the blame. Feng Yufu should know the importance, right?"

Feng Hao nodded vigorously. The weather is cool in autumn, and the sweat on Feng Hao's forehead has flowed down his temples to his chin. I have searched everywhere, they all disappeared during the busy farming season, everyone is scared now, and they dare not go to work on the ground, my lord, my lord!"

Feng Hao crawled forward a few steps, kowtowed a few times to Wei Mingji, and wailed, "My lord, who dares to kill so many people over and over again? Someone is eyeing our land in Tulu Mountain!" , if the adults don't say that you are from the Shangdu Mansion, the villains dare not say this..."

Lin Xingwei took a sip of tea and looked at Feng Hao calmly. It seemed that he and his third uncle guessed well last night. Someone wanted to occupy the land and killed the villagers to scare them.

Wei Mingji put down the dagger in his hand, straightened his expression and said, "Tell me everything you know."

Feng Hao buried his face on the ground and began to howl.

Lin Xingwei said softly: "You must be confused now and don't know where to start. Then you can answer whatever I ask."

Feng Hao nodded sadly.

Lin Xingwei said: "Is the person who wants to paint the farmland in Green Mountain surnamed Huang? Do you know his full name?"

Feng Hao learned from the pain, raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears and snot, and said in a serious voice: "This spring, there was a businessman surnamed Huang who claimed to be a merchant from out of town. I know, I only heard my cousin, Feng Hou calling him Master Huang."

"This matter has been entangled for two months. The villagers are unwilling to sell the cultivated land. I thought that if we don't sell it, we can rent it to Mr. Huang. After all, the income from growing medicinal materials is higher than that from growing grain. At that time, Mr. Huang will rent our land and hire us People come to grow medicinal materials, so we villagers can also have some income.”

"But Mr. Huang doesn't agree to rent, he only wants to buy it. Even if he bought the land, he doesn't agree to hire our villagers to plant medicinal materials. Hou consulted with the county government to buy these lands from the government, but the villagers objected strongly, and the government did not agree, so Master Huang left."

"But since he left, some villagers have gradually started to disappear, ranging from one or two to at least three or four. I don't want a dozen or so to disappear until their bodies are found..."

Feng Hao cried out in pain, unable to speak.

Wei Mingji asked: "Since when did you suspect that the murder case was related to Mr. Huang?"

Feng Hao cried for a while, choked up and said: "The villain has suspected it for a long time. The missing villagers all disappeared while doing farm work in the south of Tulu Mountain. It's just that there is no evidence, and there are no dead or dead. I had no choice but to keep this question in my mind.”

With gloomy eyes, Wei Mingji asked again: "Before and after these people disappeared, did any strangers come here?"

Feng Hao shook his head, "No, even if there are them, it is impossible for them to come to the village. They will wait on the mountain."

Lin Xingwei asked: "You have seen that old man Huang before, and do you remember his appearance?"

Feng Hao shook his head again, "I've seen him come out of my cousin's house, but I only saw his back once or twice, but he didn't see the front. He was very well dressed, all brocade, and his height was about the same as an adult."

Wei Mingji and Lin Xingwei looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

Someone knocked on the door, Bao Shang opened the door, leaned out half of his body, whispered to the people outside, and came in: "General, they have finished their investigation and are back."

Wei Mingji got up, went to Feng Hao's side and patted him on the back, and said, "Come back to the county office with us, it will be more convenient for us to ask questions!"

Zuo Qiuzhi collected the recorded statement, Bao Shang beckoned two men to tie up Feng Hao, covered his head and gagged him, and took him out.Lin Xingwei stuffed two pieces of Feng's snacks into his sleeve, and followed them out.

Woke up early in the morning and didn't have time to eat. Lin Xingwei was already hungry. He wanted to eat just now, but he was afraid that eating would ruin the serious atmosphere of the trial, so he endured it all the time.

The family members of the Feng family watched with trepidation as their lord was bound away by the officials, and wanted to stop him, but Bao Shang drew his sword and stopped him, scolding: "Feng Hao has committed a crime, and now he will be taken to the county government for interrogation. Ask questions to the county government.”

People in Shangdu Prefecture all wore armor and hideous masks. Even the people in the capital who often saw them would be afraid to avoid them, let alone the women who had never seen the world in the countryside. His legs were weak, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and watched Feng Hao being taken away.

Taking the team back to the city, Lin Xingwei and Luo Fu rode slowly on purpose. After falling behind the Yangdi army, Lin Xingwei threw a piece of snacks to Luo Fu, and took out a piece to eat slowly.

All the questions that should be asked have been asked, and those who should have been taken have been taken. Her mission has been completed, and it should not be her turn to participate in the subsequent investigation and interrogation work.

Lin Xingwei chewed his snacks, and asked in a soft voice, "Luo Fu, do you think that Master Huang bought the land in Tulu Mountain to grow medicinal materials?"

Luo Fu shook his head, "I'm not sure, but if it's really medicinal materials, why don't you want to hire local farmers?"

Lin Xingwei nodded, "That's exactly the problem. This Mr. Huang must be a big shot, and that piece of land must be of great use."

Luo Fu hid the snacks that Lin Xingwei gave him in his bosom, and took out a letter from his bosom, handed it over, and said softly: "I received a letter from Mrs. Hou last night, asking if the princess wants to go back to the capital."

Lin Xingwei opened the letter, glanced at it, and handed it to Luo Fu. Looking at Wei Mingji's tall back in front of him, he sighed, "I understand what mother means, but the third uncle is in trouble right now. If I only care about myself and run away, wouldn't it be a success?" Are you a heartless person?"

Also, Wei Mingji would definitely think that she went back to the capital to avoid him.

Lin Xingwei said again: "When I get back to the county office, I will write a letter to tell my mother about the situation here, and my mother will understand me."

Wei Mingji turned his head and said something to Bao Shang. Bao Shang turned his horse and walked back. When he reached Lin Xingwei, he cupped his hands and said, "Princess, our general wants to discuss this case with the princess. The general said he will be in front of him under the shade of the tree." Waiting for the princess."

Lin Xingwei looked up at the sky, it was already past noon, her stomach was rumbling with hunger, she smiled coquettishly, "Let General Bao Bao tell General Wei that we will discuss it slowly when we get to the county government, and it is important to hurry now."

Bao Shang said again: "Our general said that there are too many people in the county government, so it's not easy to discuss with the princess alone. The princess should invite you."

Lin Xing frowned slightly and glanced at Wei Mingji's back in the distance, quickly put the last bite of dim sum in his hand into his mouth, and chased after him.

Arriving under the shade of a row of trees, Bao Shang asked Zuo Qiuzhi to lead others to escort Feng Hao to the county town, and stayed with Wei Mingji himself.

Lin Xingwei's people stayed not far away, and Luo Fu even followed closely.

When Lin Xingwei arrived, Wei Mingji had already dismounted, tied the horse to the tree trunk, and stood under the tree like a bamboo.

He took off his mask and helmet, and he looked like a jade bone. Looking at it from a distance, he was as tall as a mountain, as if there was a kind of beauty in the mountains and fields.

Lin Xingwei dismounted, handed the reins to Luo Fu, and walked over slowly.She was a little at a loss, even a little inferior. She didn't feel that she was a princess, but like a village girl who had never seen the world.
