Lin Xixue's eyes glanced upwards, and she asked the scarred man guiltily where Yan Yu's private residence was.
But when the scar-faced man heard her question, he showed an extremely vigilant look and said doubtfully: "Brother, are you the one sent by Yan Yu, the bad official, to spy on me?"
"I'm just saying, how can anyone in this world really help these white ducks? Besides, I know the names of the brothers who can sneak into the death row of Yunzhou Prefecture without leaving any trace. They don't look like a pretty boy like you at all. "
When the scar-faced man said this, he sneered and said: "You go back and tell the dog officer a message. I have nothing to say if I fall into his hands this time, but I act upright and I will not deny what I have done. I didn’t steal his private house, so get out!”
For some reason, even though she was scolded by the scarred man, Lin Xixue unexpectedly did not feel very angry. Instead, she felt that this man was outspoken, happy to take revenge, and quite refreshing like a man in the world.
But she was not angry at all, but she was misunderstood for nothing. Naturally, she could no longer use her hot face to touch other people's cold buttocks.
However, this scar-faced man claimed that he usually robbed the rich and gave to the poor, but now he was taking the blame for himself in a muddle-headed manner. He suffered such an unreasonable disaster. If she really ignored him, Lin Xixue would not be able to let it go.
She cut off the scarred man's cage and shackles with one knife, then prepared to leave the dungeon and go to the Yunzhou government office in this city to find out.
It would be best if we could follow the diagram to find out the real guilty person who was successfully exonerated, and successfully raise the auxiliary materials for the Seven Emotions Mask.
Lin Xixue avoided the inspection and went straight to the study.
In the study, the government office was writing official documents. He raised his head and dipped his head in ink. When he lowered his head again, he felt something cold on his neck.
He has been a government official for so many years and has never seen anything like this. Even though he was scared to death, he still did not scream loudly. After all, he knew that if he made a sound, he would be dead immediately.
He forced himself to calm down, rolled up his sleeves, put down his pen, and lowered his voice: "Are strong men seeking wealth, or are they seeking peace?"
"Oh? Can everything be normal?"
"It can be pacified, it can be pacified! As long as it happens within my jurisdiction, I can help the strong men to pacify it!" He followed Lin Xixue's words as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Can any case be settled?"
"Uh..." He hesitated for a moment and blew on the beard on his lips, "This... as long as you don't get into trouble with any wealthy people, I can help the strong man solve it. "
"You are such a bully and shy of the strong. Let me ask you, what is going on with those white ducks on death row in this mansion?"
"Mighty man, spare your life, strong man, spare your life! I have no choice but to believe that they are all unjust, but the human and physical evidence are conclusive, and there is really nothing I can do!" When he heard this, he was immediately frightened to the point of despair, and begged for mercy again and again.
"You have picked yourself clean. Since you also know that they were wronged, can't you investigate further? How dare you say that you are innocent?" Lin Xixue continued to ask questions under the scholar's skin.
"Sir, please calm down and listen to me slowly. Think about it, the parents of these white ducks confessed their crimes in court, and they themselves confessed in court. The witnesses and material evidence are there. Even if I realize that this matter is strange, I think If you want to reverse the case, you are really powerless!"
"That's nonsense!" Lin Xixue continued to exert pressure, "It's enough to say that the parents sold out for money. Why do you say that they themselves confessed?"
"Young man, you don't know something. After these parents received the benefits, they would tell the white duck, 'You can feel free to plead guilty and stay in jail for a while, and I will help you with the money.' The white duck believed it and confessed obediently. ”
"Is it possible that every white duck is so stupid? What if you meet a white duck who doesn't believe this clumsy talk?"
"Beating, but it's not me who beats me, it's my parents who beat me. Then I'm hungry. I'll feed them whenever they're willing to admit guilt. Most of these white ducks confess their guilt like this."
The more Lin Xixue listened, the more her heart grew cold. She didn't think the government office was innocent, but she also asked a question.
If I were the government official now, without magical powers or countless gold and silver, how could I properly resolve this matter?
It is true that this government office made mistakes, but is it really a heinous crime?
She just felt confused.
"Give me all the rubbings of the files involving White Duck."
"Okay, okay, come with me!" If the government official was granted amnesty, he took out a bunch of keys from the cabinet and took Lin Xixue to the warehouse where the files were stored. After rummaging through them, he found the corresponding file.
He seemed to be extremely familiar with these files. He turned to the corresponding page in a few clicks. He half-rolled the book and handed it to Lin Xixue and said, "Please read it, strong man. This is the detailed record at that time."
"You seem to know these files very well?" Lin Xixue asked.
"To tell you the truth, warrior, I know these things very well, but I am powerless. Every time I think about this, I always feel restless, so I come here to read the files..."
Lin Xixue stared at the government office's guilt-filled eyes expressionlessly, not looking like she was lying.
She had not planned to keep the government office alive, but she hesitated at this moment. Could all this really be controlled by the government office?
"Hee! When did you become like the Virgin Mary in your previous life? If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Do you want to be like those Virgin Marys and forgive him on behalf of these white ducks who are about to die?"
The auditory hallucinations that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared in my ears for no apparent reason.
Lin Xixue was startled when she heard this, yes, why did she suddenly become such a virgin? No matter what the reason for this government office was, it was a definite fact that people's lives were taken care of.
If he really couldn't bear it and just resigned, why would he help others do evil while pretending to have an uneasy conscience here?
But this is not right. I can kill him now, but a new government will soon come, and similar tragedies will only happen again in another form.
So, what should I do?
She felt that whether she killed the government office or not, it would not change the status quo.
She felt that she was suddenly on the deep and quiet sea.
Although there is a vast expanse in front of us, there is no lighthouse or beacon. It seems that no matter which direction we go, the surrounding scenery does not change.
She smiled, but this time she knew clearly that she was laughing at herself.
Maybe the reason why I am confused is because I am just a dabbler who lacks faith, just like this government office.
He is neither a pure good person nor a pure bad person. Instead, he is struggling between the two due to various external pressures, and he is suffering from no relief.
She suddenly felt envious of Mr. Baili in Xinliang City. It is not that he is a dabbler like himself, but he has practiced the great medicine in his heart throughout his life.
Maybe he didn't feel any regret when he left.
For some reason, her mind suddenly flashed into the child digging Guanyin soil beside the official road, and the stubborn eyes of the maid Hong'er.
The picture in her mind was fixed on the top of Lantau Mountain. Bai Qing faced the bright moonlight and calmly told her past. She threw herself into her arms, her grief-stricken cries vaguely echoing in her ears.
"Xiaoxue, where should I go? I have no home anymore!"
Lin Xixue took the file and raised the knife.
She looked at the white frost falling in front of the door and murmured: "There will be, in the not too distant future, there will always be..."
