Chapter 420: She is not a human head? She eats stones!
He grabbed the collar of the common people who were kneeling on the ground to report, and wanted to ask them if they were lying again.
After all, the original county magistrate had his tongue twisted, and His Majesty left in anger, Weng Ruoyun was not in the county government, and Weng Yan was still unconscious!
The Prince of Zhennan accompanied Princess Zhaohua and did not care about the affairs of the county government. The county government was leaderless and he did not dare to take the case easily!
After all, he was just a small yamen runner, and what he did on weekdays was nothing more than maintaining public order and performing some simple official duties.
As a yamen runner, he really knows nothing about investigating a case, which requires thinking!
He thought about it again and again, and had no choice but to ask the people again and again about the case of the woman eating human heads that the people were talking about today.
In fact, he was very upset!
[Empress! Please stop just eating, drinking and having fun. Can you come back and investigate the case?]
[If you don't want to investigate the case, send a few ministers to Hengcheng!]
[As a yamen runner, I never fail in arresting people, but I am not good at investigating cases. If you don’t come back to investigate the case, the authority of the Hengcheng County Yamen will also be questioned!]
He sighed in annoyance, "Alas!"
Looking at the frightened people who reported the case, he couldn't just give them a perfunctory response!
He thought about it and decided that the worst that could happen was that he would go and take a look. If this was really the case, he would arrest the person first and wait until Lord Weng woke up before doing anything else!
Just as he was about to step out of the door before leaving, he was still frightened and thought about it over and over again. He pretended to be angry, grabbed the collar of the old man who was over fifty years old and kneeling at the door, and questioned him with his eyes.
"I'm asking you again, is it true that there are women eating human heads on the street?"
"Sir, I take what I said seriously. If I lied in any way, I am willing to pay with my own head!"
Seeing his angry questioning, the common people who were grabbed by the collar were already scared and made promises one after another!
Besides, he is just a commoner, and he would not dare to deceive the adults even if he had ten times the courage!
In panic, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Jing, and seeing that he had no intention of letting go, he spoke to him timidly!
"My Lord, every word I said is absolutely true!"
"The people who came to report the case today all saw it. If you don't believe it, you can follow us to the place where people are eaten!"
Hearing his panic-stricken words, he looked up at the many people standing at the door.
I just remembered that the people reported the case together, so I thought these people would not lie!
So he nodded, waved his hand and called a few of his yamen runners, indicating that they should follow him and these ordinary people to leave the county government office.
He wanted to see today, is there really a woman in Hengcheng who dares to eat a human head in the street?
He still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong!
Soon they arrived at the street where the woman was eating human heads.
When Zhao Jing saw the woman gnawing on a stone, he became so angry that his face turned extremely ugly!
He was very angry, pointing angrily at the common people who had just knelt on the ground and asked him to look at the woman eating a human head, and questioned him in a bad mood.
"You said she ate human heads? Where are those heads? How dare you play tricks on you?"
He was so angry that his face turned blue!
When the woman heard his question, she hurriedly stood up with the gold in her hand, handed him a gold ingot with a smile, and talked to him with a smile.
"Sir, this gold is not a gift. Please don't trust those poor devils. I am an honest man. How can I not tell whether it is gold or a human head?"
Hearing that the woman was quite sensible, Zhao Jing came over and offered her gold to explain.
A hint of joy appeared on his face, which had just been angry and dignified. He picked up the gold and gave her instructions.
"The yamen runners are supposed to capture prisoners for the common people. How can they take your gold if they are accusing you of something?"
