Grandma Tu exhaled a long breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
She said to them: "I'm sorry, I may not be able to calm down this mood in a short period of time. But I believe it will be fine in the future. It's all over. I hope everyone will be safe in the future."
The rest of the Tu family smiled at the Pu family. Then they supported grandma and bowed to Master Di.
"Thank you, Master Di."
Thousands of words can only be expressed in these six words.
If it were not for Mr. Di: the real culprit could not be caught, Tu Liang could not come back, the whole village would still be worried that the real culprit would continue to kill people, the government would come to investigate repeatedly, there would be many grudges and grudges, and people would be in constant fear every day, the harmony in this village before The atmosphere of unity will disappear.
Now: the sky is blue after the rain.
The villagers also clasped their fists in thanks, while Di Ying clasped his hands and returned the greeting.
Then……
Di Ying was surrounded.
The villagers were all talking and rushing around Mr. Di asking this and that.
They were curious about everything about Mr. Di, including every hair on his head.
Di Ying smiled helplessly when asked.
Smiling, he pulled Cheng Ting and said: "Folks, don't forget your county magistrate. He is your parent official. If you have any questions or problems, ask him. Ask him more."
The villagers looked at the county magistrate and suddenly became quiet.
Cheng Ting: "..."
He rubbed his stiff face, followed Master Di's example, and saluted in a circle.
But I saw that the villagers all moved out of the way in unison.
Cheng Ting: "..."
Taking a breath, he forced a smile and said: "I came from the military, and after being framed, I suddenly became a civil servant, and I was still a civil servant as big as a sesame seed. I felt unhappy.
In terms of behavior, I don’t want to change. He still maintains a relatively cold and hard demeanor as a soldier. This is my fault.
Mr. Di taught me the most vivid lesson today.
I have been thinking just now: When I kill the enemy at the border to defend the country, aren't I defending the fellow villagers behind me? So now that I am the parent official of the folks, why, how come...
Now you are closer to me. But I don’t know how to get close to you and protect you. This is my fault.
Trust me, I will change it.
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, because there are so many bad officials in the officialdom. To be honest, apart from Mr. Di, I don’t believe them..."
These words made the villagers happy.
When you are happy, the atmosphere comes.
One villager boldly asked: "Master County Master, are you good friends with Mr. Di?"
Cheng Ting had just relaxed for a moment when he was asked and stiffened for a moment.
Then he replied with some embarrassment: "...I admire Master Di just like you."
Di Ying glanced at him.
Villagers would understand, "Oh, after I heard that you, the county magistrate, are a famous general, do you look down on Mr. Di, who is from a civilian background?"
Cheng Ting suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly waved his hands and said: "It's not like that. Our ancestors are all commoners. Don't make random guesses. It's actually me..."
Di Ying interrupted him.
He took over the conversation and said: "We are good friends. But we are both civil and military. If he does not do well in the future, you can come to me. But if he does something bad, you can just forget about me and just settle accounts with him. ”
"Hahaha"
The villagers bent over with laughter.
At this time, a villager asked Xiang Chengting: "Master of the county, my family lost a cow some time ago. Can you help find it?"
When Cheng Ting heard this, he immediately looked serious and asked back: "On what day was it lost? At what time? What does your cow look like? Are there any special marks? How old is the cow? A bull or a cow?"
After asking, he thought about it again and then asked: "Does it often find grass to eat by itself? Or do you often tie it to places where there is grass to eat? Have you searched for it in nearby villages? Have you searched for it in the mountains and forests? Are you done yet?"
As soon as the villagers heard this series of questions, they scratched their scalps and rolled their eyes to answer slowly.
Everyone also listened carefully to Cheng Ting's analysis.
Di Ying took the opportunity to sneak away quietly.
He didn't slip far away, he still had to wait for Cheng Ting. Tu Liang's case has not been completely solved yet, and he has to teach Cheng Ting another lesson. So as to consolidate the relationship between this "good friend".
Honest officials in a country are rare, and generals are even rarer.
It can be said that almost most of the officials who first took office are Qing.
The talent of a general who can command troops and generals requires talent.
If you want to be friends with such a person, you must first make the other person admit that you are better than him.
They only admire and follow the stronger.
"Sir, how did you know that Little Brother Park lied? And how did you know that the real murderer was actually Old Man Park?"
When he turned into the woods to rest, Liu Liu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
Di Ying heard the question and asked with a smile: "Did you not like Old Man Park from the beginning?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Liu Liu nodded vigorously.
Di Ying asked again: "So when you ask them to point to the east wing or the west wing, you think that Pu Xiaodi is telling the truth, and that Old Man Pu and his wife are telling lies?"
Liu Liu nodded.
Di Ying explained: "According to common sense, there is nothing wrong with Old Man Pu objecting to the opening of the grave. It is a bit strange that he is not afraid of the government. This is slightly contrary to common sense.
Even with a knife on his neck, he still refused to give in.
I noticed him.
After that, I examined Pu Zan’s body. When I talked about the autopsy records, I said: There were many old and new injuries on Park Chan's body.
Some were beaten with sticks, some were hit with hard objects, some were whipped with whips... there were many general categories.
There are just no fists or feet left. Especially after examining his internal organs and finding no injuries caused by punches and kicks, I was thinking: Who gave Park Chan those injuries?
The villagers?
The fact that Pu Zan was a scoundrel who caused trouble to his neighbors is recorded in the case file given to me by Magistrate Cheng.
What is written above is: Since Pu Zan was four years old, he has bullied other children for no reason and dared to light a neighbor's pyre.
So if such a person had been doing mischief in the village for sixteen years, if the injuries on his body were really caused by the villagers, he would have been beaten to death long ago, right?
Can you still bring trouble to the place for so long?
Looking at the scars, almost all of them were concentrated on the back, buttocks, calves, upper arms, and palms.
This didn't look like a place where villagers would fight when they vented their anger. "
"I see."
Liu Liu said excitedly: "I was very naughty when I was a child. I went to the house to lift tiles, went down to the river to fish, and did whatever I wasn't allowed to do.
When my father spanked me, he would pick on the areas where the skin was rough and the flesh was thick. When my mother spanked me, she only spanked me. Sometimes, they would also play tricks on me.
When he taught me martial arts, he liked to slap my calves and upper arms. So sir, you know: the ones who slapped Pu Zan were actually his parents? "
