Chapter 855 Ask

The coachman said, "I can't help it. I know this place the most. I'm worried about other places."

"But it is inconvenient for us to go in and out." Daji said: "There are too many people here, the streets are small, and the neighbors in the neighborhood know each other, and they are all familiar with each other. It's too mixed."

"In the future, I will take you all in and out. As for the county magistrate, he has his own way. I often entertain relatives and friends here, so don't worry, the daily life is more lively, and the neighbors are used to it." It's inside, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Daji looked at Bai Shan and Man Bao.

Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao, then walked inside.

The curtain was opened, and the two of them saw a young man standing by the table, holding a medicine jar in his hand. When he heard the movement, he turned around and saw the three of them froze for a moment, standing in front of the bed and looking at them warily. "who are you?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao stopped and looked back at Daji.

Daji was stunned for a moment when he saw the young man, and then asked, "Bo'an?"

Before the boy could speak, the person lying on the bed had already half-raised himself up, saw Daji and said, "Bo'an, this is your father."

Bo An was startled for a moment, then raised his head and gave Daji a quick look, then lowered his head and said nothing.

Daji glanced at him, led Bai Shan and Man Bao forward, and while helping Er Ji, who was half propped up, said to him: "This is the young master, and this is Miss Man."

Erji was stunned, staring at Bai Shan for a long time, his eyes were moist, he wanted to get up and salute, and after a while he remembered that he was paralyzed and couldn't move at all.

He wiped away his tears, then looked at Man Bao, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Man?"

"It's the orphan of that couple."

Erji was slightly stunned, and after shaking his lips, he was speechless.

Neither the old lady nor Daji told him about these things, so Erji didn't know about it until now.

Daji whispered: "They were killed back then, and the things were hidden somewhere. This time I picked you up to find things, and..."

He paused and said, "Magistrate Tang wants to investigate this case, and he wants to ask you something."

Erji was sent here suddenly, feeling uneasy all the time, until seeing his eldest brother at this time, he felt better, but he was still worried, "It sounds like he's just a county magistrate..."

"His father is Mr. Tang who was inspected by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Daji didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear, and Erji understood.

Daji said: "Old Madam let you know what you say, you don't need to hide it."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Daji looked at Bo'an. Bo'an, who had been dazed by the side, came to his senses and hurried to the window to look out. He quickly turned around and told his father, "Uncle Dafu brought people here, I don't know them."

Man Bao also took a look outside and said, "It's County Magistrate Tang and Mingli."

The coachman led Magistrate Tang and Mingli over, and he reported inside first, hoping to get permission before entering.

Bai Shan opened the door directly, saluted the county magistrate Tang standing outside the door, then turned sideways and said, "My lord, please."

Magistrate Tang smiled and asked, "You came too early, have you already asked?"

Bai Shan said: "We have just arrived, my lord, please sit inside."

Magistrate Tang nodded with a smile, and entered with reason.

Only then did Dafu follow inside, and saw Bai Shan first knelt down and kowtowed, "I pay my respects to the young master."

Bai Shan vaguely remembered meeting him, pointed to him and asked, "Have you ever been to Qili Village?"

Dafu grinned, "The young master has a really good memory. When you were young, you went to pay the old lady's account and pay your respects to the old lady during the Chinese New Year. I met the young master several times."

Bai Shan smiled at him, stretched out his hand to help him up, "Don't be too polite, Uncle Dafu."

Dafu got up, and bowed to Man Bao again, "Greetings to Miss Man, the younger one has also met Miss Man, I wonder if Miss Man still remembers the younger one?"

Man Bao looked at his face and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, she didn't have much impression.

Dafu laughed and said, "It's normal that Miss Man doesn't remember, Miss Man was only five or six years old at that time."

Man Bao didn't feel very happy, because Bai Shan was only one year older than her, and he could still remember it.

County Magistrate Tang had already glanced around, remembering the scene in the house, and then lowered his head to look at Erji who was leaning on Daji.

He stepped forward, glanced at the quilt covering him, and asked, "Can the county see your legs?"

Erji looked at him for a while, then nodded.

County magistrate Tang gently lifted the quilt and reached out to touch his leg, only to see that his leg had shrunk into a very small section. He pressed it and asked, "I still feel pain now." ?"

Erji shook his head, "The doctor said it would be better if he knew the pain, but I didn't know the pain at the time."

Magistrate Tang nodded, looked at the other empty trouser leg, and asked, "Cut it off?"

Erji nodded, "It's necrotic, I can't survive if I don't."

Daji obviously didn't know, and was slightly taken aback.

Erji explained to him: "It was amputated two years ago, Brother Dafu found a good doctor for me, and it was amputated without any pain."

Daji could only nod his head.

Magistrate Tang looked at Daji, then at Erji, and simply sat by the bed and asked, "Erji, what did you do to your leg? Was it cut by an assassin?"

Erji gritted his teeth for a long time before shaking his head, "No, they cut my back. I ran to the side of the slope, and it started to rain. My feet slipped and I fell to the slope, hitting my waist and legs. On stones and tree trunks, I was dragged out by hunters who went into the mountains to hunt. Later, my elder brother found me."

"How many assassins are chasing you?"

Erji then replied: "Two people."

"Then how many assassins are chasing Magistrate Bai?"

Erji shook his head, "I was just running around without counting."

"How many people do you think there are?"

Erji paused for a moment and said, "Three people..."

"Then how many people are chasing and killing you?"

Erji shook his head, "I don't know..."

County Magistrate Tang changed the subject and asked, "How many escorts are there in total?"

"Eight people," Er Ji said without thinking, "In addition to the guards of our Bai family, there are four other servants in the county government office. They are all gone on the road."

"So how many assassins are there to assassinate you?"

Erji's mind was filled with lightning and thunder. Over the years, he has been thinking about what happened that day. Some memories have been fixed. He thinks that if he doesn't remember, he just doesn't remember. But now County Magistrate Tang is asking faster and faster, and his eyes are tight, which has become a little blurred. The picture suddenly became clear again. He secretly counted and said, "It's also eight, no, it's not right, it seems to be nine, or ten. Our people also killed several assassins."

"Then when there are only two of you left, how many people are still chasing after you?"
