The boy's lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and at first he was expressionless, but when Lily talked about the village, his expression became more and more ugly, making Lily unbearable to ask again, but he should still ask : "Who actually killed all the people in the village?"
The boy didn't speak. His eyes were half drooping away from everyone's eyes. His hands clenched into fists subconsciously, his body trembling slightly.
Upon seeing this, Lily said again: "Little guy, we are not bad people. If you don't believe us, we can help you find the government..."
"No, don't!" This time, the boy cried out excitedly, his face pale, and anxiously grabbed Lily's wrist, his eyes panicked.
Everyone looked at each other, seeing this boy's expression so excited, could it be said...
Ren Zinan frowned tightly, his eyes falling on the boy's right hand holding Lily's wrist tightly.
After a quiet time around, Nangong Yue suddenly asked out, "Little brother, can you tell me your name?"
The boy looked up at Nangong Yue and saw that the other party was fourteen or five years old, wearing a plain blue robe, but showing his noble spirit, and the respectful expression of the others around him clearly looked at this handsome young horse.
The boy hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "My name is Cheng Ru."
"Cheng Zhi," Nangong Yue said sternly, "The villagers here, as well as your parents, relatives, were all killed. Only you and this little sister survived. Since we discovered this, we can't sit back and watch. Ignore it, you must go to the government office, and you can’t let such brutal gangsters wander in southern Xinjiang! If you don’t want it, you must give us a reason, a valid reason to persuade us. Do you understand?”
Nangong Yue looked at the boy directly and solemnly, not as a child, but as a peer who could communicate, or from the moment the village was destroyed, the child had been lost as an ordinary child. right!
The boy, Cheng Ruo, shrank his pupils, his lips trembling slightly.
Nangong Yue did not force him any more, waiting quietly.
For a while, Cheng Qi finally lifted his head, let go of Lily in his right hand, but his eyes became firm and took a deep breath, saying: "Can't sue. The people in Tucun are the Yu County magistrates in Gangping Town." He Almost gnashing his teeth, those black eyes like a dark night burst into a light of hatred.
That's really true...Although everyone vaguely guessed this possibility, they couldn't help but take a breath when they heard the truth.
Cheng Ruo rationalized his thoughts and put the ins and outs of things one by one—
Their village is called Chengjia Village, and there is a mine cave abandoned for many years in the back hill of the village.
One night more than half a year ago, a heavy rain fell and the rocks near the mine collapsed. A villager accidentally found a silver mine near the mine and immediately reported to the village head.
The whole village was shaken. The village head originally intended to report the matter to the government, but human nature was greedy, and who was willing to let the golden egg-laying hen out of it.A villager proposed to conceal the matter, and the villagers quietly mined the silver mine. This proposal was immediately supported by more and more villagers.
From that day on, the villagers secretly went to the Houshan Silver Mine from time to time. In order to hide this secret, although the people in the village were rich and wealthy, they were all very low-key and dared not wear luxurious clothes or gold. Silver jewelry, dare not build a new house, let alone leave this village...
But there is no airtight wall in this world. When a villager went to town to buy hair for her daughter-in-law, she was accidentally stared at by the government's government office, and then it brought a disaster to the village.
Just a few days ago, Yu Xianling appeared in the village with a group of government officials, and first rebuked them for privately occupying the silver mine.
The villagers were, in the final analysis, mountain villagers with simple temperaments. When they were swindled by the county magistrate, they were not apprehensive.
Unexpectedly, Nayu County Commander Bai Ri also kindly said that he would plead for them in Shangguan, but after returning from the villagers who went out one evening at a time, he raided the village with a group of government officials and killed all the villagers. Pomegranate and the little girl were lucky to escape because the pomegranate's mother hid them in the cellar.
While Cheng Qi was telling, the house was quiet, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and there was a storm in his heart.
The county magistrate is a local parent officer, who should protect the people comprehensively, but actually lost his morals. It is really chilling to do such a beastly beast.
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "How far is that silver mine?"
Cheng Qi hesitated for a moment, but replied: "Going about one mile south from the village, there is a path to go up the mountain, and the mine is halfway up the mountain..."
It can be inferred that at the moment, there must be many guards under the command of the county magistrate near the mine.
The expressions of everyone became more dignified, especially Zhou Dacheng.They did not have much manpower on this trip. If they were discovered by the other party, that would be bad.
"Shi...Son," Zhou Dacheng held his fist to Nangong Yue, "Do you want to go back to the post first and then plan?"
Because he was worried about outsiders, Zhou Dacheng asked extremely implicitly, meaning, did he return to the post first and then send soldiers and soldiers in two ways, coming here all the way to arrest the prisoners, and the other way to Nagangping town to catch the county magistrate?
But even so, Cheng Ru was slightly startled by Zhou Dacheng's "post".
Although he was not yet eight years old, he was also a half-size person. The children of the poor family had been the heads of the house. Before the discovery of the silver mine, most of the people in the village just barely lived up to their meals. Like he had been sent to town It was because of the silver mine that I was taken back as an apprentice.Although he only spent a few months in the town, he also heard a lot of things. For example, ordinary people in this post cannot live, and it is an inn that only people in the government can live in.
In other words, he and Pomegranate's life-saving benefactor must not be ordinary people!
So, can these people avenge themselves, pomegranates, and loved ones?!
At the thought of this possibility, Cheng Ru was surging.
Half an hour ago, when he and Pomegranate snuggled in the cellar, he thought they would die there so quietly, no one knows, they can only reunite with the relatives with their relatives...
Unexpectedly, when he was almost about to give up hope, there was a movement outside, and he decided to gamble. The person who gambled was not the Yu County magistrate, so he tried his best to throw out the broken porcelain pieces in his hands... …
When he heard the creak of the cellar door opening and the strange accent of the comrades, he knew he had won the bet, and he gave back two lives for himself and pomegranate.
But what he didn't expect was that his betting won not only their lives, but even the chance of winning blood and blood for his family and all the villagers!
In an instant, Cheng Ru felt that his original soft body seemed to have regained strength, and his heart, which had been ashes, ignited the spark of hope.He gritted his teeth, got up quickly, and then fell to his knees on the hard ground with a thump, pleading with his head and begging, "This son, please be the master of our village!"
He knocked heavily, and wanted to knock a second time, and Lily and Ren Zinan quickly grabbed him.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and Mo Xiuyu walked in quickly, looking anxiously at Nangong Yue and Zhou Dacheng: "Son, Master Zhou, six or seven people escorted two carriages to The mountain directly behind the village went up, and his subordinates ordered Chen Bei and Lu Hu to quietly follow up to look over. The dress of those people seemed to be like a bureaucracy..."
"It's them! It must be the gang of dog gangsters in Gangping Town!" Cheng Zhi's eyes widened with excitement, and a strong hatred burst into his eyes, and his voice became hoarse with anger. Make the call with the innocent people in this village!"
He prostrate lowly and clenched his fists tightly.
"Cheng Ru, as long as what you say is true, I will definitely make the decision for you." Nangong Yue said firmly, "You get up." Such a lawless and inhuman parental official, Nanjiang can't afford it!
Ren Zinanli lifted Cheng Ruo up, Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu exchanged glances, the two wanted to urge Nangong Yue to hurry back to the post, but the words hadn’t been exited, and a mess of footsteps came from outside the house. A tall step guard with a large guard.
His face was so ugly that everyone felt a little giggled.
