There's No Witch I Can't Wash

"You're alive, and they're dead, all dead, as humble as ants and twisted as maggots."

Chapter 36 Shocking

The sun was setting, and it was almost evening. A puff of smoke and dust rose from the official road not far outside Nan'an City, and then the ground was shaken by gravel, but a team of more than 20 horsemen appeared, and they were driving in twos and threes towards the city. Speeding towards the door.

The leader was Yan Zhiqiu, and behind her were more than 20 policemen in purple clothes.

The girl still looks like she has long hair and fluttering white clothes and a sword, but compared to seven days ago, the girl's delicate and pretty face now looks a little haggard and tired.

During the past seven days, Yan Zhiqiu naturally didn't stay in the data room where the archives were stored in the City Lord's Mansion. In fact, after reading the archives and records for the past three days, the girl who became more aware of the seriousness of the problem behind Yes, he walked out, and then started a field investigation of the villages around Nan'an City.

For four days, she led a dozen of her subordinates to visit the villages around Nan'an City almost without sleep, and the result was that her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

From the very beginning of its establishment, Tibetan Sword Villa has often done some relief work for disaster victims and helping impoverished villages.

It is difficult to verify what happened 300 years ago, but the villages that received help from the Tibetan Sword Villa were all abandoned without exception, and turned into cold records on the file.

Why these villages are deserted, and where the villagers who originally lived in these villages went, has not been explained in detail.After all, at the time when the Great Zhou Kingdom was established, the territory of Kyushu was in chaos.

Xuzhou itself is located in a remote location and is close to the seaside, where horse bandits, bandits and pirates are rampant.In that period of chaotic history, many people died in vain, and many people were forced to fall into trouble directly, so such a large number of disappeared villagers can theoretically be justified.

It wasn't until more than 100 years later that the national power of the Great Zhou Kingdom became stronger and completely wiped out the remnants of the previous dynasty in Kyushu, and the forces of the Demon Sect shrank back and dared not make another attempt. The situation in Xuzhou improved a lot.

The Tibetan Sword Villa, which had been tepid and low-key before, also began to rise from that time.

If the imperial court wanted to control Kyushu, especially those remote areas, it naturally had to rely on the power of the rivers and lakes. Perhaps from that time, Zangjian Villa had become the spokesperson of the imperial court in Xuzhou.

And what happened next is a matter of course. The strength of the strong rising Tibetan Sword Villa has gradually increased, the scale of the manor has become larger and larger, and the demand for human resources has naturally become larger and larger.

During that time, Cangjian Villa recruited many people into the villa with superior conditions, almost all people at all levels.

Some of these powerful people were worshipped as guest ministers, and some became the guards of the housekeepers. Of course, there were also a large number of housekeepers, maids, servants and hard laborers.

Especially the servants at the bottom, the demand for Tibetan Sword Villa is very large, and the replacement is also very frequent.In the long run, it is a year and a half, and in the fast time it is even less than half a year. The Cangjian Villa is bound to put up leaflets to recruit people again. I don’t know why they need so many servants.

At that time, most of the rumors circulating outside were that the conditions offered by the Tibetan Sword Villa were so superior that some servants could earn wages for one or two years as compared to those who worked in other people's homes for five or ten years. The wages are gone, so many people work for a while and save a lot of money and then choose to quit their jobs to go home and make other livelihoods.

Such a statement has attracted a large number of ordinary people, especially the residents of the surrounding villages, who want to join the Cangjian Villa, so that every time the Cangjian Villa recruits people, it is full of people.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem with this statement, and it even makes people feel full of admiration for Tibetan Sword Villa. Full of loopholes.

Since the wages are high, why not keep working?

If you don't have a stable job, why take the risk to make a living?

You must know that Hidden Sword Villa is still very strict in recruiting people. It does not mean that anyone can go in and work casually.

Moreover, every time the Hidden Sword Villa recruited people, it was often eighty or ninety, or even more than one hundred. Almost all the servants in the entire villa were replaced.Such a big change in personnel... Where did all those people go?

Even if they make enough money and want to resign voluntarily, do they still have an appointment to go together?

The purpose of Yan Zhiqiu's investigation of the surrounding villages is to know where these so-called resigners have gone and whether they have really returned home.

However, the result of the investigation made the girl's scalp numb and chills.

Many villages with a large population have been abandoned and turned into ruins in just a few decades, and the surviving villages have been asked several times, and those who have left have never returned.

For those who haven't come back for several years or even more than ten years, these villagers are even very envious. They all think that they don't come back because they have made a lot of money and become rich people living in the city.

Yan Zhiqiu suddenly remembered the rules for recruiting people in Cangjian Mountain Villa.

It is said that this rule is to better take care of those who have more difficult lives, but now think about it, doesn't this rule also mean that there is no evidence of death?

These people don't have any relatives at home, they disappear silently in this world and no one will care about them.

These people who live in border villages and may not be able to enter the city several times a year are all closed to news, and they don't even know that the Tibetan Sword Villa has been reduced to ruins.

Looking at the envious eyes of the people in those villages, and listening to the voices of the young people who were clamoring that the next time the Hidden Sword Villa was recruiting, he must be successfully admitted, Yan Zhiqiu felt more and more that his body was faintly cold.

Over the years, Tibetan Sword Villa is like a monster that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Only people enter, and no one ever leaves.

What's even more frightening is that no one noticed this, and even felt that Tibetan Sword Villa was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness.

If this has been the case for 300 years, the hidden sword villa has eaten more than a thousand people, or even more than ten thousand people...

Where have these people, so many common people, gone? !

What exactly has the Tibetan Sword Villa been doing over the years? !

Thinking of this, Yan Zhiqiu's fingers holding the scabbard couldn't help clenching so hard that the slender fingertips turned white.

In front of him is the towering gate of Nan'an City. When Yan Zhiqiu returned here again, his heart was indescribably heavy.

She seemed to feel the helplessness of the witch in blood, and also understood the helplessness and solemnity in Senior Lin's words.

Xuzhou was his father's fief. As the daughter of King Xu, the people of Xuzhou were naturally her people.

If I don't investigate this matter, find out the culprit behind the scenes, and don't return this bright world to the people of Xuzhou...

She is the daughter of King Xu, let alone a disciple of the Holy Land!

Chapter 37 The only witness

Yan Zhiqiu pulled the reins and controlled the horses to stop in front of Nan'an City. There was also a shout behind him, and all the arresters stopped in front of the city gate.

The girl turned over and dismounted from the horse and landed lightly on the ground. Someone stepped forward to take the reins and pulled the horse that had been working hard for several days into the stable.
