Aojiao Wangye's palm treasure

Chapter 824

Although the man was strange, but thinking of his natal family being destroyed, the hatred in his heart was ignited again like a raging fire. Holding the jade pendant tightly, he left the village and went straight to the county seat.

When he came to the town, the man got on the ox cart to the county seat, and in the evening, he came to the county government office to beat drums and complain.

In the county government office, the county magistrate was about to go down to the government office, when he suddenly heard the drumming sound of "boom, boom, boom" from outside. The sound seems to be knocking on people's hearts, making people tremble with fear.

"Go and see who is beating the drum." The county magistrate ordered the master standing by the table.

"Yes, my lord." The master clapped his hands in response, then turned and left the study.

When he came to the gate of the county yamen, the master only saw a woman in coarse cotton clothes, about 28, and asked in a low voice, "Are you beating the drum just now?"

"Yes, my lord, the lady went back to visit her natal family today, only to find that her natal family had been brutally murdered, and even my three-month-old nephew was brutally murdered. I ask the lord to be the master of the lady." After finishing speaking with sobs, the man presented the jade pendant to the master with both hands: "My lord, I found this on my dead sister-in-law."

"Wait a minute." When the master saw the eagle on the jade pendant, he was shocked, took the jade pendant as he spoke, and hurried into the inner office study.

"Who is playing the drum?" Seeing the master hurried back, the county magistrate asked.

"My lord, it's a woman who said that her mother's family was brutally destroyed. This jade pendant is a witness from the woman's dead sister-in-law. This subordinate looks like, looks like." Speaking of the latter, the master dared not say any more Going down, if the woman's natal family is really as he guessed, then this is not a simple murder case.

"Like what?" The county magistrate was even more puzzled when he saw the master hesitating.

"It's like what people in Xiliang did." The master bowed his head and said quickly.

"What? Someone from Xiliang dares to kill people in our county?" The county magistrate suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Give me the jade pendant."

"Yes, my lord." The master obeyed and presented the jade pendant in his hand to the county magistrate. "

The county magistrate took the jade pendant and looked at it, his face changed dramatically: "It's really from Xiliang, they are going to make trouble."

"My lord, could this be someone who deliberately provoked the peace between Zewen and Xiliang? Didn't we sign a peace agreement with the other six countries three years ago?" The master said carefully.

The county magistrate stopped talking, but sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a letter quickly, then put the jade pendant and the letter in an envelope and sealed it, and then handed it to the master: "You immediately ask the messenger to send the letter overnight In the hands of Prince Xian, Danfeng Village, Wangmen County, it must be delivered to Prince Xian tonight."

"Yes, my lord." The master took the letter and turned to leave in a hurry.

When I came back again, I told the county magistrate: "My lord, the woman who came to report the case is still waiting at the gate of the county government office."

"Let's go and have a look at the scene." The county magistrate stood up and said as he walked towards the door of the study.

"Yes, my lord." Along the way, the master called for the clerk and the yamen servant, and the group got into the carriage, let the woman lead the way, and set off in a mighty manner.

When the group arrived at Yangjiao Village, it was already dark. Looking at the still dark village, the woman was puzzled: "When did the people in the village go to bed so early?"

"You mean, people in this village go to bed late?" Hearing what the woman said, the county magistrate asked.

"It's not too late, but it won't be so early. It's only midnight, and the homework hasn't been done yet. How could you go to bed?" The woman shook her head and replied.

Hearing the woman's answer, the county magistrate also frowned, just as the woman said, even if some people go to bed early, but not everyone in the village goes to bed so early, there will always be some lights, but now the The village was pitch black, only the torches in the hands of the yamen servants were burning.
