Jing Xiaohe survived in the end.

I lost one eye, nose, and couldn't speak clearly. I could barely move my hands and feet slightly, so I must hold heavy objects and walk.

The abscesses on the skin are astringent, leaving scars after scars. When you see them at first, you can scare people to death.

He is still young now and only knows how to feel uncomfortable. He will get angry when he feels uncomfortable. He cannot clearly know what he is facing.

When he gets older, he may hate his grandfather who is desperately trying to keep him alive.

If you live in the world with such a body, would it be better than death?

I am afraid that only death is liberation.

But, this world is still more afraid of death.

The body of the girl named Xiao Tofu was not found, but after a strong wind the day before yesterday, she actually appeared on the shore of Yuehu Lake.

The child died for many days, but his face was vivid. He obviously drowned, but his face was clean and peaceful.

The weather was clear that day, and the autumn wind was rarely soft. Tofu Xishi did not ask others to help. She held her daughter with her own hands and took her girl home. The despair accumulated in her chest seemed to be still there, but compared to the previous few days, she seemed to have received a little comfort.

Du Ren and other teenagers suspected of killing Xiao Tofu all committed crimes. Now the matter is very clear, and Liu Chengyu sent someone to get the people early.

But these teenagers had an accident at the beginning. Du Ren was inexplicably burned by fire while sleeping soundly at home, losing most of his life.

The other few, the lightest one broke his leg, and the other one was not surprised and scared himself to the point of being crazy.

The Dashun Dynasty had its own regulations on juvenile crimes. At their age, serious crimes such as murder are inevitable, but they should also be punished with slight consequences.

These families probably heard some news, but they did not deny it. They all honestly made the children confess their guilt and sealed it. After that, only the wealthy Du Ren family paid the ransom and redeemed Du Ren out.

"Damn it!"

When Liu Chengyu left the court, he felt a stone in his heart and his thoughts were hard to understand.

"How many times have the new policy, the new policy, and the Dashunlu revised version? Why does this juvenile crime have to be different from that of an adult?"

He just complained a few times.

After hearing the news, Yang Yuying saw the sudden storm and rain, she threw down the pile of medicines to drink, wrapped herself into a large cotton ball, and walked slowly outside the wall of Du Ren's backyard with an umbrella. As soon as she arrived, she saw the gray clothes preparing to climb over the wall.

"cough."

When the gray clothes turned around, she saw Yang Yuying, hugged her hands and stared at her: "You..."

"I just want to say something to you."

Yang Yuying smiled, "Unless we have the means like our imperial city torture room, and those who are killed after the 1808 torture instruments are gone, otherwise, living is actually more miserable than death. Once you die, you will know nothing."

Gray clothes stared at the wall, and they were almost staring at a big hole. They slammed their heads and slammed them up. Looking back at Yang Yuyu: "Agu is a good-nature, and even her resentment is not as good as her. She is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. The little girl she saved, Xiao Tofu, was originally a sharp-tongued mouth, but she didn't expect to be so soft. Do you think the punishment they received is really enough?"

Yang Yuying shook her head: "Not enough."

For the victim, cutting the other party into pieces is not enough.

"Don't they die?"

Gray clothes said angrily.

"If they don't die, where is justice and how can the law of heaven exist!"

Yang Yuying sighed: "Yes. That's right."

Gray clothes were silent for a moment: "But what I told you, I was a little unhappy to start, I thought it was dirty, and I was a little worried. Otherwise, you can get them to the torture room of your Imperial City Department and kill them with one hundred and eight means?"

Yang Yuying smiled bitterly: "I can't make the decision, and I don't have that courage."

Grey Clothes: "…what should I do now?"

Yang Yuying thought for a while: "Maybe I will be brave one day, maybe one day, you will suddenly be willing to take action and kill him again. As for now, I will give you a suggestion, why not let them put a knife on their heads and live first."

Gray Clothes: "I clearly think you are talking nonsense, but for some reason, it seems to convince me."

He was silent: "To put it bluntly, the dead are not my important relatives, so although I hate them, I will be shaken if you say a few words. It turns out that I am just a hypocritical person."

Yang Yuying: "Why do you think so much? Who is not a common person in this world?"

The gray clothes were silent, tightened their cloak, and put their hands back into their sleeves: "Okay, then I'll go home."

Yang Yuying chuckled: "Before you go back, I will treat you to a meal and drink some wine."

After thinking about it, Gray Clothing did not refuse. The two of them found a nearby tavern and ordered some wine and food. After they had enough food and drink, Yang Yuying put the same thing in the set, and Gray Clothing dragged her shaking body away.

Yang's House

The maids in the house came and went, and the hot spring pool was filled with medicine. On the stoves of the four kitchens, the casserole was hot and the medicine was fragrant.

The companions who came to support the Imperial City Department dispersed almost the same. Under the shade of trees in the garden, there were only a few reclining chairs sitting only on Yang Yuying, Lin Guan and Xia Zhiming.

Official Lin was listening to Yang Yuying’s follow-up to those things. As for Xia Zhiming, he sat on the other end to write a report.

As we got closer, that guy Lin Guan kept making trouble, which was very annoying.

"What does that gray-clothed young man do?"

Official Lin held a small wine glass in his hand and handed it to his mouth from time to time to take a sip. He heard Yang Yuying talk for a while, and it was not until he talked about the young man who didn't know what kind of role he was in this case that he became curious.

"My Imperial City Secret Files, all the heroes in the world are on the list. As long as new people rise, they must be kept in our archives within half a month. Dengzhou Prefecture, there are no strangers who are the ones you mentioned. "

Yang Yuying: "His name is Wang Bai. Just write a note and report it!"

This matter is actually not difficult to investigate. The young man in gray clothes, Wang Bai, had no intention of hiding.

He is a knife man.

The people who sell knives in credit come and sell knives, but they do not charge money, they will only pay you credit. Before leaving, they leave a prophecy, such as telling the mountain people living on the cliff, when you can run a horse in front of your door, I will collect three times the amount of knives.

These people are all knowledgeable about divination and calculation skills, and those with strong abilities can also make accurate predictions.

However, there are various rules for the predictions. Once you break the precepts and talk about the secrets of heaven, you will be seriously injured at the least, and you will be dead at the worst.

Shortly after Wang Bai became a master, he passed Yuehu Mountain and was plotted to make a prediction that he should not have made. He was seriously injured. Fortunately, he met Agu. Agu’s merit was as thick as a stone. With her protection, Wang Bai still passed this level.

He always wanted to repay the girl, so he wanted to credit Agu with a hatchet, but Agu said he would not accept anything.

If this girl doesn't accept it, it will be difficult for the man who sells a knife to become acquainted with her and make a prediction. Even so, Wang Bai still saw that Agu would encounter disasters recently, so he told her that within three months, he would not be able to save people, and he could just listen to people's call for help and leave.

Obviously, Agu didn't do it.

Wang Bai is the most talented among them, especially recently, what they could not do before in the past, and now they can do it.

He once thought he was very strong, but he didn't expect that by accident, he could not save his benefactor.

After the accident, he was so angry that he deliberately cursed Jing Xiaohe, causing him to be entangled with grievances.

"Although this curse is only based on injustice, not the root cause, but the inducement, Wang Bai's ability is indeed not bad and should be qualified to be recorded. If Master Lin is interested, it would be okay to go and check it in person."

Lin Guanying smiled and replied: "Okay."

Xia Zhiming had just sorted out the report and came to an end. When he turned around, he saw Lin Guan's smiling face so brilliant that it could not be blocked by even the rain outside. He also stood up, sat next to Yang Yuying, poured her a cup of tea and changed into a wine glass, and then looked at Lin Guan: "Are you so short of money?"

A person from the Imperial City Department recorded that a magician who was not registered was rewarded with a reward of 500 yuan.

Official Lin is too lazy on weekdays and doesn't like to compete for merit. Now that he is so active, Xia Zhiming doesn't even need to think about it, just knowing that he is for money.

"Who still thinks the money is too much?"

Official Lin snorted.

Xia Zhiming shook his head: "Although you love delicious food, you eat and drink in the canteen on weekdays and have high requirements for wear. However, they use the silk and satin fabrics of the Xia family. They don't have prostitutes or gamble, and they don't have much money. What's the use of so much money?"

"You are just a full man who doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry. There is only waste of money in this world of prostitution and gambling? Wrong, the money needed to raise beauty is no less than the former."

Official Lin smiled with his eyebrows raised.

"In order to raise a charming beauty in the future, if I don't start saving my wife's book now, how can I do it!"

Xia Zhiming: “…”

In the cold weather in autumn, it is suitable to sit around the fire and cook a pot of tea and taste it carefully.

It is actually quite comfortable to say useless nonsense on such leisurely days.

They were doing well, but Liu Magistrate was worried.

"Why!"

On this day, Liu Chengyu came to the door, and his beard, which was trimmed and beautifully, looked messy and decadent.

So many things happened in Dengzhou, especially the beauty Gu case, so many people died, every household heard the crying, and many people never even left their bones. As the prefect of Dengzhou, how could he shirk responsibility?

Xia Zhiming said seriously: "Your Majesty is very clear about everything. You can't be guarded against such things and you will never blame me."

Liu Chengyu was silent for a moment and sighed: "I just feel that even such a strange thing as Beauty Gu appeared. The current world is indeed very different from before. I am old and face these things, I am almost like a fool."

He has indeed felt powerless lately. When it was late at night, he could not help but think that if people like Ouyang Manor Master do evil, he would just watch and stop him?

Let’s talk about the beauty Gu. If Yang Yuying hadn’t pointed it out, who would have believed that there was such a strange insect in the world? Who would have not regarded that thing as a spiritual medicine?

"There are thorns everywhere in the road ahead, and I'm afraid I can't continue."

Yang Yuying smiled, "I can guarantee that Your Majesty doesn't understand these things. What are the beauty and ugly people, Your Majesty must be too lazy to remember. Your Majesty is not a magician, and he has never seen many supernatural abilities like my senior brother Ouyang, but he would never think about giving up the prostitute."

Liu Chengyu choked and wanted to slap Yang Yuying on the head: "Little ancestor, your mouth is really... really..."
