After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 208

Is the murderer still hiding nearby?

Of course He Chunhua saw it too, raised his hand in a defensive posture, and the supporting army drew out their weapons and scattered in all directions.

Mrs. Ying and other family members quietly retreated.

The atmosphere is getting tense.

At this moment, the door of the tallest, largest and brightest room suddenly opened with a creak.

Someone stood out of the door and said, "Who is here?"

It was actually a woman, wearing a snow-white cloak, hibiscus face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a fiery red coral hairpin on a dark cloud bun.

All the officers were amazed that she was actually a beauty with a soft and magnetic voice.

Barren hills, dead villages, the lively Lishu.

Lu Xin didn't react much, while his companion, the big black wolf, stood in front of He Yue and bared his teeth at the beauty.

Clearly felt threatened.

He Chunhua stood still and frowned: "This is what I should ask. Come out, all the ambush soldiers, the smell of blood can't be hidden from anyone."

The beauty stretched out a finger and shook it: "When I came over, the villagers were already dead, I didn't kill them."

"Where's the corpse?"

"After moving, I dug a big pit and prepared to bury it." The woman sighed, "I'm not hard-hearted either."

He Chunhua winked at Zhao Qinghe, who immediately walked around to the back of the village, and the former asked again: "Who are you? Please report to the door to avoid accidental injury."

"My surname is Li, I'm from the capital, and I'm the head of the family in Songyang Mansion."

As soon as the words "Songyang Mansion" came out, the He family father and son were startled, and He Chunhua turned his head to look at He Lingchuan with a questioning look in his eyes.

He Lingchuan could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands, and told Mao Tao to hurry to the back of the line to invite someone.

Not long after, Zhao Qinghe came back and said to He Chunhua in a low voice: "My lord, there are indeed dozens of corpses piled up on the back mountain, and there is a half-dug hole on the ground. Also, I will check the nearby forest, No ambushes. Her men should be in these houses."

If it is a robber, most of them will be killed or not buried.He Chunhua's complexion improved, and the eyes he looked at the woman softened: "I am He Chunhua, the governor of Xiazhou. I saw a light on the way and wanted to stay overnight. Just now, the scouts went first. Seeing this place is horrible."

At this time, someone came from the rear of the support army, and when they saw the beauty, they immediately stepped forward to salute, very respectful: "Li Fubo pays homage to your lord!" Then he turned to He Chunhua and introduced, "Master He, this is the master of my Songyang Mansion !"

It was Li Fubo, the exclusive foundry master of Broken Knife and master craftsman of Songyang Mansion, who arrived.

He Lingchuan silently raised his chin.

Sir?

This is Songyanghou?The owner of Qizong Songyang Mansion?
Why didn't anyone tell him from the beginning to the end that Marquis Songyang is a woman?
Since Li Fubo identified him, He Chunhua let go of his worries and sincerely saluted: "It turns out that he is really Songyang Hou! Please don't be offended by He's offense."

After being polite on both sides, Marquis Songyang walked out, followed by two maids: "I'll show you the corpse, please follow me." He knocked on the door frame, "Come out."

The doors of other houses opened one after another, and more than thirty people walked out to salute her.He Lingchuan noticed that half of the people here were blind, obviously with cultivation or martial arts.

"These are all my subordinates. Just now I told them to stay in the house and not come out to cause trouble." Songyang Hou said, "When you went up the mountain, we had already seen the lights of the convoy."

He Chunhua nodded, knowing that this was someone's euphemistic way of saying "to avoid conflict".

Everyone walked to the back of the village.

There were more than 40 corpses lying on the ground. Sure enough, as the scouts said, there were men, women and children.Mrs. Ying turned her head after only one glance, not daring to look any further.

He Lingchuan, Wu Shaoyi and others went forward to check and found that most of the fatal injuries were in the chest and throat.

"Hearts and livers are gone, and some have had their kidneys removed." Wu Shaoyi turned around and said, "The wounds were not left by swords, but rather like pickaxe pens."

The murderer cut a hole in the chest of the deceased and removed the internal organs.

Songyang Hou added: "The money and food in the house have not been lost."

"That's probably not what the bandits did." When the bandits entered the village to plunder, they wanted nothing more than the above two things.

He Lingchuan pulled off the jacket of a deceased person, and pointed out the wound on the heart to everyone: "There are four gouges here, all near the heart, and only the last one was in the center of the heart. It can be seen that the murderer is very unskilled."

He worked as a patrol in the Coiling Dragon Dreamland and caught monsters seven or eight times, so he already had some experience.

Rookie murderer?

Although there is a process from ignorance to proficiency for robbers to kill, it is impossible for the entire nest of robbers to use black beak pens, right?

Compared with the sword, this is a very partial weapon.

He Chunhua pondered, "Monster?"

Marquis Songyang was thoughtful: "A few days ago, the emperor was bleeding, and the mountains and fields were not so flat."

It is a blessing for living beings to be alive, but blessings and misfortunes are always accompanied.After the emperor bleeds, the new monsters are restless, and it is easy to cause disasters to the place, and the governance order of mankind is facing great challenges.

The Panlong Wasteland was still like this back then, how could it be avoided in the Great Yuan Territory?

Wu Shaoyi also said: "The villagers were killed five or six hours ago, and the murderer may have gone far."

"We are borrowing their house tonight, so we should bury them alive." Marquis Songyang beckoned, and his men came over with a shovel.

He Chunhua nodded: "It should be so."

The permafrost was too hard, so Zeng Feixiong also ordered a dozen soldiers to dig the burial, and sent two groups of soldiers to patrol nearby in turn.

Songyang Hou returned to the village with He Chunhua and others.

The open space outside the village is flat, and the supporting army is setting up tents here to raise fire.Now there are more than [-] family members of the entire army, and the cottages simply cannot accommodate them.

This team followed He Chunhua from the west to the north, and was used to eating and sleeping in the wind. They all used windproof sheepskin tents, which were more windproof than cloth tents.He Chunhua also entrusted someone to buy warm bags from Shihuancheng Military Supplies. Its style is similar to the sleeping bags He Lingchuan knows, and it has a good effect of keeping warm when sleeping in the wild in autumn and winter.

Of course, a bonfire is indispensable. Everyone went to the forest to pick up grass, and soon a pile was lit.

The accommodation arrangements for the rest of the staff are left to the housekeeper, Lao Mo, to worry about.He Chunhua said to him: "We only need to occupy the three huts on the west side."

Marquis Songyang waved his hand: "How can that be done? All the cottages belong to the support army, and we have other lodgings."

Where is the other accommodation? Is it possible that Songyang Mansion also needs to set up tents?
I saw Marquis Songyang walking to the east of the village, looking for an open space and walking around: "This is just right."

Then, she did not know where to take out a palm-sized courtyard model, put it on the ground, first uncovered the talisman paper on it, and then stepped back a hundred steps, then clapped her hands and shouted: "Long!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the toy-like courtyard rapidly inflated, like an inflated balloon.

In just a few breaths, it turned into a normal courtyard, with high walls and black doors locked with a two-storey small building, and a pine tip protruding from the wall.

Toys come true.

Song Yanghou stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door, looked back at He Chunhua and said with a smile, "Go inside and talk, it's too cold outside."

This scene was so strange that the crowd was in a commotion.

He Chunhua was also moved and said: "Hiding Sumeru in Mustard Seeds, I actually saw this magical skill again today!"

He Lingchuan explained to him: "Father, Sun Fuping got the walnut boat from the Marquis of Songyang. He borrowed it and didn't return it, so it was yours in the end."

He Chunhua came to a sudden: "It turned out to be the housekeeping skill of Songyang Mansion. No wonder!" Why didn't this kid mention it before?

Songyanghou smiled and glanced at He Lingchuan.

The He family father and son entered the small courtyard, accompanied by Zhao Qinghe, Wu Shaoyi and other guards.

"Ma'am, the carbon in the house is ready." The housekeeper, Lao Mo, wanted to invite his wife to the cottage to rest, after all, the journey was exhausting.But Mrs. Ying looked at the small courtyard and heard laughter coming from the courtyard, she immediately shook her head: "I'll go in and have a look too. Mama Qian!"

Everyone walked through the black gate, and saw a small courtyard of [-] square meters inside, with a rockery in the corner, thin and porous, and a pine tree beside the rockery, the crown of which began to blow in the wind and snow.

The two palace lanterns cast a warm yellow halo, and the wind seemed to be half a beat behind here.

In front of the eaves of the small building, the wintersweet trees are in full bloom.

The snow fell silently, and the small courtyard was elegant, as if isolated from the world.If you don't lean over the wall to look, who knows that there are barren mountains and wild villages outside?
Walking into the small building, the warmth rushes over the face, and the braziers at the four corners keep the cold out of the door.

Walking here from the ice and snow, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Ying said with a smile: "Bringing such a treasure with you, the Marquis of Songyang will really enjoy it."

"I am used to running around on weekdays, and using it can save a lot of trouble."

Two maids behind Songyang Hou came over, took the cloaks and cloaks for everyone, and served hot tea.

Only then did He Chunhua introduce the people around him to Songyanghou one by one.

When he introduced He Lingchuan, Songyang Hou nodded: "Thank you, Eldest Young Master, I just got a spiritual weapon."

"It's not a loss for a spiritual weapon to be accompanied by a master craftsman."

Song Yanghou said with a smile: "When the eldest son is free, I want to see the broken knife."

Of course He Lingchuan agreed.This is the head of the Songyang Mansion, and he should not be inferior to Li Fubo in terms of knife casting.

When He Chunhua introduced He Yue, Songyang Hou said with a smile: "Two or three years ago, I heard the story of the little child prodigy in Qiansong County. It's rare that I have the honor to meet him today."

He Yue's face was flushed, and he didn't say a word, he was no longer calm and comfortable in dealing with people and things as usual, He Lingchuan looked amused.

After everyone was seated, He Chunhua asked about the destination of Marquis Songyang.After all, it is more than 400 miles away from Shihuan City, and the probability of encountering an old friend is very small.

"I'm going to Taobin City to do business, and then go north to Yufen City to pick up some treasures and discuss a business."

"Yufen City?" He Chunhua calculated the distance in his mind, "It's already in the territory of Xiazhou." It seems to be in the middle of Xiazhou.

"Yes, the farthest this trip is going to Xiazhou." Marquis Songyang took a sip of hot tea, "I want to build a branch of Songyang Mansion in Yufen City, so I have to talk to the local chief."

She went on to say: "The situation in the north is tense, and the Songyang Mansion is also responsible for casting weapons from the royal court. I will open the sub-rudder first, so that the military supplies can be transported flexibly later, and the royal court's transportation capacity will be less occupied."

"Good, great good!" He Chunhua clapped his hands, "My lord is considerate, why don't you set up the sub-rudder in Dunyu, the capital of Xiazhou, so that it can be dispatched."

Mrs. Ying's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she was very unhappy.
