Chapter 8: Coward

"Did you see it? The little scholar blushed... I said Xiao Yatou, you have a place to settle down. When you have a lawsuit, I guess Mrs. Wu should speak. Hurry up, maybe you can hold your grandson by the end of the year. Mrs. Wu has made a good plan."

Although it was only the second time we met, Xiao Ying had already seen that Jia Jun was a rough man with a bold heart.

He said this without any malice.

But she is a girl after all. How could Jia Jun marry a wife when she mentioned it in public? According to Po Wu, he also has a lovely daughter of Yuxue. God treats him very well!

"It's getting late, so I don't want to sleep in the charity house at night, so I'll hurry up."

In the end, Yin Jiuming ended the topic that Xiao Ying didn't know what to respond to in one sentence.

Xiao Ying couldn't help but look back at Yin Jiuming.

He was meeting his cold gaze.

It's so cold that it can hurt people.

Xiao Ying only took a look and avoided it without any courage.

When I read novels in the past, I always liked to write about men's eyes like knives, and Xiao Ying sneered at them. Now she finally understood that it turned out that someone could kill people with her eyes.

Perhaps, in his opinion, she should be honestly sent to a female prisoner.

Then I waited for one day to catch the real murderer and the truth was revealed. If she had been lucky enough to die in prison, she might have seen the light of day again.

The Yizhuang is three miles away from the outskirts of the city.

The closer we were to the Yizhuang, the more silent the team became. Even Jia Jun, who was talking all day long, began to keep silent, and his eyes were even more glanced around, looking at him like he was awakened.

As for the young scholar, he was so scared that he followed Jia Jun step by step.

Xiao Ying saw that the little scholar was actually a little afraid of Yin Jiuming. If he was not afraid of him, the little scholar seemed to want to follow Yin Jiuming more.

In the end, the team became Yin Jiuming in front, followed by Xiao Ying, followed by Jia Jun, Xiao Xiucai and several servants.

Gradually, dead grass appeared on both sides of the road, and the dead grass became taller and taller.

Finally, the group was walking among the dead grass that was knee-length. Behind him, Jia Jun's voice trembled a little. "Jiu Ming, should we ask the adults for an errand to clear the weeds?" Perhaps because of the liver trembling, Jia Botou even saved the god that must be said at the beginning of each sentence.

Yin Jiuming, who was walking in the front, was still in shape.

In Xiao Ying's opinion, the man in front of him was quite tall. If he were placed in modern times, he would be a clothes rack walking on the road.

Plus that ice sculpture-like face...

Xiao Ying couldn't help but sigh.

She thought that she could only be considered a pretty face when she was reflected in the water, and suddenly she felt very tired.

"...If Brother Jia is afraid, stay and weed."

Jia Jun gritted his teeth, and the few officers around him laughed muffled. "God, are you afraid? I'm not afraid. I'll go ahead and show you." After Jia Jun said that, he rushed to the front of the team.

He took steps very vigorously and proudly.

But if he could speed up and his calf would not bend, it would be more convincing.

The Yizhuang was built in a very remote place.

I asked Jia Jun to give Xiao Ying a blessing to popularize basic knowledge along the way. Xiao Ying knew that a girl was killed about half a year ago.

The bodies of girls in this county, those who can find their families, have long been buried by their families.

But more, no relatives can be found.

It can only be temporarily placed in a charity village.

Who wants to keep murders?

In just half a year, there were nearly twenty girls who were injured.

The last time the little scholar came home, he was so scared that his face was pale. It was the third girl killed this month.

The case has been delayed for too long. If the case cannot be solved, the superiors will be held accountable. County Magistrate Miao was also unable to sleep or eat. While talking about the case, Jia Jun greeted the ancestors of the eight generations of murderer.

Xiao Ying thought a lot about the case.

Although the murdered girl had different scars on her body, she was fatal. She was just a sword in her chest.

This is also one of the reasons why Jia Jun and others watched Xiao Ying coldly when they first met at the City God Temple.

They thought Xiao Ying would die.

Later, after being reminded by the young scholar, Jia Jun and others realized that if Xiao Ying was also injured by the murderer, she would have seen the real murderer.

It was confirmed that Xiao Ying was not dead. Jia Jun once went to the clinic to ask questions, and Yin Jiuming was also there at that time.

Xiao Ying was half dead at that time, and the doctor was gloomy on the side, thinking that what Jia Jun did was simply an insult to his profession.

He has been practicing medicine for decades and has seen countless injuries. The one who barely survived after being so severely injured like Xiao Ying must be because her life should not be lost. She was so severe that the murderer must have made a ruthless move. After all the deaths, she could not remember the murderer, and even forgot everything, either because of fright or because of his injuries. The doctor admitted that he would never misdiagnose with his medical skills.

These yamen servants were useless incapable of catching the real murderer and threatening a little girl. It was really useless. No wonder the whole town was panicked.

Jia Jun stared at Xiao Ying who was half asleep and half awake. In the end, Yin Jiuming took Jia Jun away.

I don’t know if someone reminded the young scholar afterwards.

The days when she had just recovered from consciousness.

The little scholar looked at her strangely...

Could it be that Yin Jiuming and County Magistrate Miao insisted on taking her into the female prisoner today, and were he suspicious again?

I would never suspect that she deliberately concealed the truth and colluded with the murderer!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ying subconsciously looked at Yin Jiuming.

I didn't expect the man to look at her, and the two of them were about to part with each other.

Xiao Ying is not a person who is willing to be complacent.

If she were, she wouldn't be here at this time.

She was originally living well and gradually gained fame in the legal profession. If she just wanted to protect herself, she would not have taken the lawsuit that killed her.

So, her eyes flashed and then she stepped forward without hesitation.

Take a few quick steps and walk side by side with Yin Jiuming.

The man seemed a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and continued to move forward silently.

Jia Jun walked ahead with courage, his steps getting smaller and smaller.

This actually made Xiao Ying successful.

Give her the opportunity to speak something she had wanted to say long ago.

"...Mr. Yin, I still owe you a thank you, thank you for your great life-saving kindness. If it weren't for you, I would probably have lie in the charity village today."

Yin Jiuming looked at Xiao Ying indifferently, as if wondering why Xiao Ying suddenly said this.

Xiao Ying took a deep breath.

Isn’t she going to play a card of love first? Who would have thought that ancient men were old-fashioned? Perhaps in Yin Jiuming’s eyes, she felt more and more that she was not respectful.

After a few months of coming, she couldn't even learn the success that women here could accept.

Since I couldn't learn it, Xiao Ying simply gave up and stopped shy. He asked directly. "You and Magistrate Miao insisted on arresting me. You don't suspect that I and the murderer are in the same group, right? Do I look like a murderer's accomplice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ying could no longer describe Yin Jiuming's expression.
