Wang Liuzhi ordered two drawers of steamed buns. He thought Li Yuan would eat at least one drawer of steamed stuffed buns, but he had already eaten at home, so he stopped eating after tasting one bun, so Wang Liuzhi had to eat the rest.
After eating the buns, Wang Liuzhi took Li Yuan to the county government office.
This is actually the second time for Li Yuanchang to come to the county at such a young age. He came here once with his parents when he was young, but he was too young at that time and had no memory of the county. Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has actually seen the county. .
Although he still didn't speak, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he kept looking around at everything in the county.
Jiangzhou County is not a big county, and the county seat does not occupy a large area. The two arrived at the county government office in a short while.
Today is not the day to release the notice, the gate of the county government is not open.
Wang Liuzhi led Li Yuan into the county government office through the side gate.
Seeing that it was him, the yamen servant on duty let him in directly.
The two came to Houya and met Zhang Hulu. Zhang Hulu spent the past two days counting the white grain list. However, when he checked his money box this morning, he found that there seemed to be ten copper coins missing in the box. This box had been kept in the inner room, and he never let others touch it. He had to count the coins in it almost every morning and evening. The amount of money, logically speaking, it is impossible for the copper coins to be missing, but he counted them three times in a row, and the copper coins were indeed missing ten coins.
When he saw Wang Liuzhi and Li Yuan, he felt a little anxious.
Seeing Wang Liuzhi bringing a child in, he asked irritably, "Boss Wang, don't you see that the county is busy? What are you bringing a child for?"
"Back to the grandfather, this is Li Yuan, the son of Li Tietou."
Only then did Zhang Hulu raise his head and look at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was looking at him curiously at this moment, and seeing that this thin, skinny guy sitting on the bed with a wretched face was actually the magistrate of the county, he couldn't help but have some reservations about the officials of Daming.
Zhang Hulu saw that the child was handsome and tall, even if he was restless at this time, he also had a slight liking for him.
I saw him pretending, twirling a few sparse yellow beards under his jaw, and said in an official tone: "That kid, are you the son of Li Tietou?"
Li Yuan just stared at him blankly and didn't speak.
"That kid, didn't you hear my master's question?"
Li Yuan still didn't speak.
Zhang Hulu couldn't help turning his head to look at Wang Liuzhi.
Wang Liuzhi hurriedly said to Zhang Hulu: "My lord, this child has been in a coma for three days since he was rescued that day, and he hasn't spoken a word since he woke up."
Zhang Hulu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that he is deaf and dumb if he doesn't speak?"
"If so, why did you bring him here?"
"My lord, he was probably just overly frightened and couldn't speak for a while, but he could understand both the low-ranking couple and him, so he shouldn't be deaf."
"In this case, that child, you don't have to answer what I asked you, just nod or shake your head. That child, do you understand?"
Li Yuan still stared blankly at Zhang Hulu and said nothing, as if he was a plate of roast chicken on the table.
Zhang Hulu made the child feel a little embarrassed, but it was inconvenient to attack, so he had to say another sentence: "Nod if you understand."
Seeing that Li Yuan was still indifferent, Wang Liuzhi hurriedly said to him, "Yuan'er, the magistrate is talking to you, did you understand, and nodded when he understood."
Li Yuan turned his head to look at him, then turned his head to continue looking at Zhang Hulu, and finally nodded.
For some reason, Zhang Hulu felt relieved when he saw him nodding.
"That child, you just nodded and understood. Then the county asked you, were you at the scene when your parents were killed?"
This is of course nonsense, but Zhang Hulu's question is not meaningless. He wants to see if the child really understands what he said, and if he is telling the truth and not lying.
After listening to his question, Li Yuan remained silent at first, but Wang Liuzhi hurriedly touched him, and he nodded slightly.
"Very well, that child, that's it. If the county asks you, if the county asks you, you just nod your head, and if you don't, you shake your head. That child, do you understand?"
Wang Liuzhi didn't remind him this time, he waited for a while, then nodded slightly.
"Okay, kid, the county asks you, is the person who stabbed you and the person who killed your parents the same person?"
After hearing this question, Li Yuan seemed to recall something terrible, and his whole bodyHis body stiffened suddenly, and he stared blankly at Zhang Hulu without saying a word.
Zhang Hulu was taken aback seeing his expression, "What's wrong with you, kid?"
Wang Liuzhi hurriedly pulled Li Yuan, and he seemed to have just come out of the terrible memory, his eyes rolled around, and he stared at Zhang Hulu again.
Zhang Hulu had no choice but to ask again, "This county asks you, is the person who stabbed you and the person who killed your parents the same person?"
Li Yuan's body froze again, but this time he did not fall into memory. He looked at Zhang Hulu with a pained and confused expression on his face. After a while, he shook his head and nodded again.
Zhang Hulu confused him.
"The kid, if what the county says is true, you nod your head, but what you say is not, you shake your head, you know?"
This time Li Yuan nodded immediately.
"Then the county asks you, were your parents and you injured by the same person?"
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan shook his head and nodded again.
Both Zhang Hulu and Wang Liuzhi are confused, what does this mean?
"The county will ask you again, do you know who killed your father?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a while, then nodded.
"Then the county will ask you again, do you know who killed your mother?"
Li Yuan hesitated again, then nodded slightly.
"Okay, the county will ask you again, do you know who killed your sister?"
Li Yuan's eyes showed an expression of extreme pain, and he nodded slightly.
"The county will ask you again, who stabbed you, do you know?"
The pain in Li Yuan's eyes became more intense, he lowered his head deeply, and did not move.
Zhang Hulu had no choice but to ask again.
Li Yuan raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
"Then it was the same person who killed and wounded you?"
Li Yuan held back the tears in his eyes, calmed down, and shook his head.
Zhang Hulu glanced at Wang Liuzhi, and asked again, "Then the one who killed you was not alone?"
Li Yuan nodded.
Zhang Hulu seemed to have obtained some basis and hurriedly asked: "This county asks you, are there two people who killed your parents and sister and stabbed you?"
Li Yuan nodded slowly.
Zhang Hulu took another meaningful look at Wang Liuzhi.
Turning his head and asking Li Yuandao: "Are these two monks?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
