Chapter 5
The government office of Liangting Township is located on the west side of the town, with rich merchants' houses on the left and lively streets on the right.

In front of the government office, two majestic stone lions stand with their heads held high, and the two government offices with knives on the side stand upright, making the place that already represents seriousness even more solemn.

At this time, many people gathered at the gate of the yamen and looked forward to it. They all heard that there was another murder case in the town and came to inquire about the situation.

Standing behind the crowd, Yun Shu saw a lot of familiar faces. Because of Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law, Yun Shu had also seen more than 20 people, large and small, from Xiaowan Village. Half of them were those people at that time.

She couldn't help feeling angry, she could interpret Uncle Zhang's son's report as wanting a reward, but she invited acquaintances to come and watch, she didn't believe that they were caring about her family.

Forget it, being favored by others, she can't repay her kindness with revenge. When she understands what happened today, she will find a way to leave and take her family away.

I squeezed into the crowd, but was pushed around because of my small stature, and it took 10 minutes to get to the front.

"You're so young and you like to watch the excitement, but this time it's a murder case, do you want to know what it is?" Yun Shu stepped forward to attract the attention of the people around her, and found that she was thin and embarrassed, and probably wanted to find someone to show off, so she looked after herself He talked eloquently, "Speaking of which, the bigger the name of our Liangting town, the more idlers it attracts. This is not a foreigner who has the audacity to kill people and steal money. I heard that he is a woman. He is really vicious. This kind of person should be punished." place..."

"A woman? Then where is she now?" Yun Shu suddenly interrupted him and asked.

The man looked a little unhappy when he was stopped, and said in a bad tone, "Of course he was arrested in the Yamen, otherwise, who do you think we are standing here looking at?"

"Really?" Yun Shu twitched the corner of her mouth and sneered, and her smile happened to be seen by the other party, "Hey, I said you are so yin and yang, you don't learn well at a young age, your parents didn't educate you ?”

"Uncle! If Grandpa Zhang hears your words, he should regret not educating you well!" He looked at the other party with a gloomy look on his lips, yes, the person in front of him who was showing off to her and erasing her family's reputation was none other than Uncle Zhang. The eldest son Zhang Zhong.

"Who are you, how do you know this..." Zhang Zhong was stunned, his face was full of suspicion, obviously he didn't recognize Yun Shu.

It's no wonder that although the Zhang family keeps making noises, Yun Shu, who is a wounded number, rarely shows up, and even when she does, she is dressed as a beggar.

Yun Shu didn't bother to talk to him, and walked directly towards the gate of the mansion.

A group of shouting voices came from behind, "You can't enter there, whose children are so arrogant."

However, what happened next made everyone stunned. They didn't know what the other party said to the yamen servant, so they just swaggered in.

This scene made a lot of people eager to try. After all, everyone wanted to go in and see the murder case, but the result of the attempt was that they were directly stopped by the government with a knife. After that, no one dared to approach again, but they did not forget to mutter who the child was just now. .

"Zhang Zhong, do you know that child?"

"How could I know him?" Thinking of the other party's gloomy eyes just now, Zhang Zhong felt uncomfortable.

Inside the government office, Qi Wenshan, the county magistrate, was sitting in the lobby. He heard from his subordinates that someone had surrendered, so he asked to bring him up, only to find that it was a half-grown child.

Yun Shu's height did make people suspicious when they met for the first time, but the calm aura on her body could make people change their minds.

Qi Wenshan observed Yun Shu for a while, and said in a deep voice, "You said there were clues?"

"Yes, sir." Yun Shu said.

Kneeling by the side of the lobby was a woman with fluffy hair. She was wearing a coarse linen shirt and kept her head down without saying a word. The moment Yun Shu spoke, she suddenly trembled and immediately raised her head. When she saw the figure beside her , the emotion instantly became agitated, "Shu'er."

After Qi Wenshan noticed this scene, he narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know each other?"

"My lord, I know her. She is my mother." She gave Qin Shi a reassuring look, and after finishing speaking, Yun Shu knelt down. Even if she didn't look up, she knew that the person directly above was staring at her.

After a long time, the voice above the head continued, "Understood, it's filial to save your mother by yourself, and tell me the clues you know."

Yun Shu bent over the ground. Although she didn't like this position very much, she knew that everything must be patient here.

"My lord, when I heard about the Yunshan murder case, I knew that this day would happen. This incident was my fault...At the beginning, our mother and son were chased by bandits, causing the carriage to crash into the cliff. Fortunately, my family was fine. At that time, I I happened to have a little consciousness. I saw our benefactor help us stop the bandits, but he fell into a coma before we got to the back. When we woke up, our family had been rescued by Uncle Zhang from Xiaowan Village. He didn’t see it when he rescued us. dead body, so I didn't tell my family about it, I didn't expect that the three people were killed, I was really too scared at the time and no one said anything, please be aware of the details."

Yun Shu is very good at disguising, especially a little girl who concealed the case because of fear. She didn't suppress her voice, so as long as the county magistrate winked, she would be able to tell her gender.

In fact, Qi Wenshan did notice it, he didn't expect the child in front of him to be a girl.

He remembered that the woman's son ran away when he heard that the government office came to the door, but she was just a girl, but she held back her fear and took the initiative to come over. Even this courage is worth admiring.

"According to what you said, the murderer is the one who saved you, right?"

"I don't dare to talk about this... I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but my mother is innocent, and I ask you to let my mother go because of the loneliness of our mother and son." Yun Shu said in a low voice.

Qi Wenshan stroked his beard and thought about it. In order to save his family and betray his benefactor, he could release them as long as he said that he killed them, but he dared not speak nonsense.

"Luo Jin, in your opinion, what should we do with this matter?" Qi Wenshan turned his gaze to the side.

Yun Shu was stunned. Are you asking someone else?She didn't pay attention to the other people in the yamen when she came in just now.

At this moment, she heard a voice from the left side of the front, "Women and children are pitiful, but they are not necessarily innocent. I beg for further verification."

Qi Wenshan looked at his subordinates, "How to go further?"

"Although this little girl is scared, her words are clear. Although she can't remember everything, the savior and the person who killed her should remember. It just so happens that the body is in the backyard. Why don't you let her mother and son recognize it? It's rotten, but the clothes are still good."

For some reason, Yun Shu heard a lot of malice from these words.

When she turned her head and saw her mother's trembling appearance, she finally understood the intention of the other party's words. Was he planning to use this to intimidate them.
