The woodcutter said dubiously: "Really?"

"Why did I lie to you?" The heroine in red nodded the woodcutter's mind: "Do you know who is coming this time? That is He Yuan, the Minister of Justice, and two senior figures from the Situ family.

How capable are you that you can steal someone from the hands of two monks?"

The woodcutter snorted: "Aren't we also monks?"

"Two of our most powerful monks have already been captured by Princess Qianfeng." The woman in red also didn't like the young master's misbehavior. If the mistress continued like this and wanted to extend her life, it would be a fool's errand.

"What?"

"According to the abilities of the Shen Pavilion and the Situ family, I'm afraid our plan has been noticed by the other party." The woman in red looked pale, tugged on her companion and said: "Master already knows what happened here, let me

I asked you to go back and discuss the next step. The master said that even if you can’t get Nian’er back, you can still perform the sacrifice. But this time it’s too risky.”

The woodcutter lowered his head and left reluctantly. He had too many knots in his heart about his master. Even if he knew that what he did was unjust, he would still go to the dark side and follow him.

The master will go to hell together.

Rongcheng County Yamen, this is the first public trial of a case since Mr. Ji Ping left. So there are many people coming to see the trial. Liang Bin is also a person who has experienced big scenes. But when he walked up to the seat under the mirror,

When I was sitting on the chair, facing those expectant eyes, I felt like there was a big stone blocking my heart, and I was so suffocated that I couldn't breathe.

He reached out and picked up the gavel and knocked it hard on the table: "Quiet! Now go to the hall!"

The third class yamen servant quickly found his position and shouted slogans quickly. If Shen Qianfeng were here, he would have praised these people and shocked them.

The master was helped up by the yamen servants. Because it was impossible for him not to come up. There was only one copywriter in the county yamen, and when he came out of the Imperial City, his immediate superior did not have anyone to take him with him.

People come here.

"Bring someone to commit the crime!" This was the first time for Ling Bin to go to court to try a case in so many years as an official. He couldn't let He Yuan underestimate him.

There are two mortals, one is thin and the other looks gentle. In fact, they are gangsters. These two people are very famous in all the states of the empire. Now they are unwilling to be killed in Rongcheng County.

When the officials took him to court, they were still trying to break free from their restraints.

The officer escorting the mortals snorted: "You were freed from delusions, and the ropes that tied you up are the magic weapons of the immortals."

As soon as they heard that it was a magic weapon from an immortal, the two of them immediately grabbed it. After traveling around the world for so many years, the legends of the hidden families and the elusive immortal elders were already well known to the two of them.

After the two prisoners knelt down, the county magistrate was stunned and shouted: "Do you two know your guilt?"

"We admit the crime!" The tall man compromised directly. If he didn't compromise, he would definitely be punished. The little man saw that his brother admitted his mistake and nodded. Anyway, everything he said followed the words of the county magistrate.

He said that he would definitely not suffer any loss.

On the other side, He Yuan had a weird smile on his face. As soon as this kid came up, he asked the criminal, "Do you want to punish him?" He was not afraid of these people making up lies to deceive him.

But Liang Bin's intelligence seemed to be really different from other people's. Before the two of them came to their senses, he asked: "Why did you steal the child from Hu Yuan's wife's family? Where are the stolen children sent to?"

Who gave it to me? It’s better to tell the truth!”

The two brothers felt that they had been bypassed by the county magistrate, and it was too late when they wanted to argue that they had no behind-the-scenes instigator.

"Why didn't you say anything? The conversation between the two of you outside Hu's house was clearly heard by the watchman."

When the watchman was mentioned, the two finally couldn't hold it any longer. They kowtowed hurriedly: "We really don't know who those people are? They just let us steal the children, and the stolen children were placed in Yao outside the county town.

There is no need to worry about anything in a valley of the mountain. After they get the child, they will deposit the money in Changyuan Bank."

"Changyuan Bank!" He Yuan, who was sitting in the gallery, suddenly stood up as if he had grasped important news: "It's a bank opened by Chen Ye. If I remember correctly, Guo Pinglong's mother is Chen Jiaofang.

The legitimate daughter."

Liang Bin did not feel any psychological discomfort at all when his immediate boss could intervene in his case at any time. He spoke directly and asked: "I wonder what Mr. He thinks of the crimes of these two criminals?"

Although Liang Bin was familiar with the imperial laws and it was his first time to judge a case, he still had to consult his seniors for advice before judging the case.

"The crime will not lead to death, but fifteen to twenty years in prison will be enough." After saying his opinion, he had nothing to worry about, so he stood up and walked towards the back office.

Liang Bin thought for a while and realized that Mr. He's sentence was not biased at all, and it was just right. After the sentence, the two prisoners were pulled directly. The only thing he saved was to hand over the brother and sister to their father on the spot.

Liang Bin knocked on the gavel again and said: "Please, Mr. Hu, go to court and take your child back."

The people watching below automatically parted ways, and saw the middle-aged member of the Communist Party of China, whose hair was half gray, hurriedly walked into the court. At this time, two little maids came to the door of the back office, holding a child by the hand.

Come.

The two children saw their father and broke away from the hands of the two young ladies. They shouted for daddy and threw themselves into Hu Yuanwai's arms. Although the family was only separated for one night, Hu Yuanwai's original black hair actually grew.

Half of it is white.

The people around him were lamenting, and someone in the crowd said loudly: "Master, when will our lost child be found? My father has been lying in bed for more than a month because of this matter.

Already."

Liang Bin walked outside the court and looked at the expectant people who really wanted to tell the truth. But he still recognized it and said loudly to the people: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please rest assured. We will definitely do our best.

That’s it for today’s court hearing.” After that, he left the courtroom.

When Liang Bin returned to Houya, he saw the people who had been sent out to look for Nian'er's family in the morning. He thought he was an old man in his sixties and a young woman in her twenties and forties. The young woman wore a white hat on her head.

Hairpin Hua saw that it was the widow of a man who had died not long ago, sighed and walked over step by step.

Liang Bin only heard a brief explanation from Mr. Cao about the case at the Yin Yamen of the Imperial City. He heard that the father-in-law and daughter-in-law who came to the Imperial City to complain were only looking for the child Nian'er. Liang Bin did not

Knowing why the child was so important to the people behind the scenes, it actually triggered Princess Qianfeng Fu, who was attacked by the two monks.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was also injured during that emergency, but the secret inside was really extraordinary.

And the two masters who arrested the criminals last night are also here. I heard that they are monks from a hermit family. If it weren't for the fact that there is a junior in his family who can practice, he would not want to compete with these masters.

people get together.

Lao Suntou and his daughter-in-law were brought into the living room, and they met He Yuan for the first time. Such a big official had no airs at all, and invited them to sit down with a smile. Then he talked about

After finishing everything that needed to be said about Nian'er, He Yuancai said solemnly: "In order to protect the safety of you two, before the Rongcheng case is solved, I can only have you and your daughter-in-law temporarily living in the county.

Inside the yamen, this is what Princess Qianfeng and the Third Prince have already ordered."

Nian'er's mother, Mrs. Li, is open-minded, as long as she knows that her daughter is fine. It's just that the old Sun Tou is missing his only granddaughter, or is he asking when he can see his granddaughter.

He Yuan looked at the two people standing opposite and asked casually: "Brother Situ, could you please contact Her Royal Highness the Princess?" You must be humble when asking for help. However, Situ Zheng replied directly:

"I don't know when Her Royal Highness the Princess will come, so you have to rest assured and wait. You will definitely see the person you want to see."

Imperial City, Princess Qianfeng's Mansion. The guard guarding the gate was almost melted by the scorching sunshine. He looked dizzy at a few white clouds floating in the sky. Suddenly, the guard seemed to have seen a ghost and rubbed his eyes.

, and rubbed his eyes. What was that thing that appeared in the sky? It seemed to be a ship flying in the sky.

The guard immediately cheered up and said to his companion next to him: "You stay with me to report!"

The companion said: "Normally, people from the Situ family never go through the front door."

"But didn't you see that the flying boat was falling slowly this time?"

The companion had nothing to say, so he had to let the other party go in and report.

Not long after, Shen Qianfeng and her mother went out to greet them in person. This time, quite a few people from the Situ family came. At the forefront were the patriarch's wife, Shangguan Minglan, and the silver-haired female elder.

Thinking of the last time he encountered an attack, Bai Shuangning, who protected him, seemed to suddenly understand something when he appeared.

Following closely behind was Situ Quanfu, but the arrival of this ancestor surprised Shen Qianfeng. It is impossible for the ancestor of the family to come out unless there is a particularly important matter. Could it be that the incident in Rongcheng County has alarmed the family?

After the meeting ceremony, I heard Shangguan Minglan say in a calm voice: "Ancestor, you go and handle your affairs with the saint, and leave the other matters to us!"

It is really because of the matter of Rongcheng County. The ancient ferocious beast may be born, although it will not threaten the stability of the world. It is still a big disturbance. After thinking about it, Shen Qianfeng walked towards the back with Situ Quanfu and the silver-haired female elder.

went.

After seeing his grandson leaving, Shangguan Minglan waved his hand and said to the people behind him: "After unloading the gifts of the goddess and the hairpin and sending them to the princess's mansion, you will withdraw a hundred miles away from the imperial capital and wait for orders."

Situ Lan whispered: "Mom, won't you go in?"

But Shangguan Minglan said: "Don't worry, come with me to the palace. Feng'er's hairpin ceremony will be over in more than a month, and we still have many things to discuss with the Queen."

Situ Lan frowned. Isn't the haircut ceremony very simple? Is there anything else to discuss? After looking at his mother for a while, he realized that he was too reckless.

"I didn't know until today that the ceremony for tying Feng'er's hair and hairpins is different from other people's. So I urgently discussed it with your father and brought someone over. You definitely can't run away from the person who tied up Feng'er's hair and hairpins.

It fell."

That means he should hurry up and study. Seeing several familiar figures standing behind his mother, Situ Lan began to have a headache.

There is Zhujia Town in the southwest of Rongcheng County, where generations of mountain residents have been mountain residents. Each generation of mountain residents make a living by collecting, planting and collecting wild herbs and mushrooms in the mountains. When harvesting a good harvest, they still will not forget their ancestors.

The tradition left behind.

Everyone in Zhujia Town believes that in the Huai Mountain behind the town lies a mountain god who will protect them from generation to generation. In the memories passed down from generation to generation, people describe the mountain god as a three-headed murderer similar to a tiger.

He has the unique ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth. He can soar into the clouds and make rain.

Tomorrow is the annual big day to pay tribute to the mountain god. That night, Erzhu, who guards the ancestral hall in the village, and his brother Dazhu will keep vigil at the ancestral hall. But before midnight, the two brothers felt

Head-heavy and drowsy.

Erzhu looked at his brother lying on the ground and was fast asleep. He looked at him with disdain and said with a smile: "Brother, I can't hold on anymore. You're still begging dad to come and watch the night."

But the next moment his eyelids were too heavy to lift, and he soon fainted. But before he completely passed out, he heard someone talking. He also heard footsteps and saw a brightly lit room.

Many men in black and dozens of children disappeared into the light. The most depressing moment was when two children waited for her inadvertently. The little girl's eyes actually exuded golden light.

"Yeah! There's a ghost!" Erzhuzi suddenly opened his eyes and saw his eldest brother, his father and many elders in the village coming.

It turns out that something really happened last night. The statue placed in the middle of the ancestral hall disappeared from where it was.

When the mayor of Zhujia Town hurried over, he saw an empty ancestral hall. He muttered, "Could it be that the mountain god really possessed the stone statue and then left on his own?"

Dazhu's father stepped forward and gave the mayor a hard slap on the head: "You blind man, it would be great to be the mayor. I heard that the adults in the court are currently investigating the disappearance of the child. Since Erzhu has seen something

It may be related to the child, should we send someone to the county town?"

There was also a village name in the crowd who spoke up: "By the way, I remember Master Ji has a pair of children, a golden boy and a silver-haired boy."

Erzhu shook his head: "Did I really not dream last night?"
