The crying person turned his head to look at Gu Qianchen, wiped the tears on his face with his cuff, and stood up slowly, as if his legs were numb.

Gu Qianchen stared at the person who turned around. He looked like he was in his 40s. He was wearing coarse clothes. Apart from the dirt sticking to the ground when he was kneeling, his body was clean.See what it does.

The man faltered "Uh" a few times, and then made some gestures, as if expressing something, but unfortunately Gu Qianchen couldn't understand.

"Sorry, I don't understand." Gu Qianchen said apologetically, showing some helplessness.

When the man heard this, a disappointed and frustrated expression appeared on his face, and he slowly lowered his head.Suddenly, as if remembering something, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qianchen with an excited face.

Gu Qianchen took it suspiciously, unfolded it, it was a contract of selling one's life, thirty Wen, buying the rest of a person's life.Gu Qianchen frowned tightly and pursed her lips. No matter how you say it, this is too outrageous.

"Is this contract of sale yours?" Gu Qianchen looked at the mute and asked.

The mute shook his head, then pointed to the male corpse on the ground.

Gu Qianchen looked over, the male corpse seemed to have just died, and it looked particularly eye-catching in this place full of bones, "Is it his?"

The mute nodded, and then pointed to the dilapidated stone tablets beside him.

Gu Qianchen looked over and took a long time to barely make out the handwriting on it.It says the cemetery of Rong's family servants. The handwriting is crooked, as if it was carved with great difficulty.And the handwriting is very new, it looks like it was engraved recently.

Rong, Gu Qianchen squinted her eyes. If she remembered correctly, the Concubine Rong who passed away was the daughter of the Rong family in Xiangzhou.I don't know if it's the same Rong.

"Can you write?" Gu Qianchen asked, pursing her lips.Since this person is willing to show her the deed of sale, he should be seeking help.

The mute shook his head.

Gu Qianchen was helpless, and asked again: "Is there anyone in Xiangzhou who understands sign language? Can you explain in detail what's going on?"

The mute waved his hands quickly, with a troubled look on his face.

Gu Qianchen sighed, and said: "Well, I'll find someone I trust, not from Xiangzhou, and ask him to translate for me. I really don't understand sign language."

The mute hesitated, then nodded.

"Get on the horse, I'll let it take you to a safe place, those people can be trusted, don't worry." Gu Qianchen said, pointing to Jiaowu.

The mute frowned and hesitated for a while, then looked at the clothes on Gu Qianchen's body. It looked inconspicuous, but the material looked really good, and there was nothing on him that such a person would plot, so the mute nodded, cautiously climbed onto the horse's back.

Gu Qianchen patted the jiaowu, motioning for it to take the person away, the jiaowu glanced at Gu Qianchen, and carried the person away.

Gu Qianchen stood on the mass grave and observed carefully, knelt down, carefully inspected the corpse on the ground, and finally found the cause of death of the corpse, which was beaten to death.Gu Qianchen frowned, what happened to this Rong family?

Gu Qianchen frowned and stood up. After carefully checking that there was no useful information in the mass graves, she decided to walk into Xiangzhou City, which was not far away anyway.

Not long after Gu Qianchen left, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, turned around, and saw Lin Rui, the deputy commander.

"My lord." Lin Rui got off his horse, saluted, and said.

Gu Qianchen nodded and said, "How did you catch up?"

"Go back to your lord, the man brought back by your lord's horse...he refused to say anything, I'll wait...I'm really at a loss." Lin Rui said shyly.

Gu Qianchen pursed her lips and asked, "Is there anyone in the team who can speak sign language?"

Lin Rui thought for a while, and then said, "Yes, I remember that there is one of the employees whose mother is a deaf-mute, and he should be able to sign language."

"Well, let that person talk to him. This matter may have something to do with our mission." Gu Qianchen nodded and said.

"Yes." Lin Rui nodded and responded.

Gu Qianchen waited for a while, looked at Lin Rui who was still standing there, and said, "You can go."

"Yes." Lin Rui got on the horse belatedly, then looked at Gu Qianchen again, and asked, "My lord, what about you?"

"I'll walk slowly by myself, and you don't have to rush. Tell me after you find out what's going on, and I'll mark you along the way." Gu Qianchen said.

"Yes." Lin Rui replied, and rode away.

Gu Qianchen shook his head helplessly, this time these people were obedient, but they were too obedient, even a little reserved.After sighing with emotion, Gu Qianchen continued to walk forward. After descending this mountain, it was Xiangzhou City. I don't know what happened to Zhou Rong. I hope nothing will happen.However, since the news can still be delivered, things should not have developed too badly.

Thinking about it, Gu Qianchen touched the note in his sleeve pocket, there have been changes in Xiangzhou, could it be that the Rong family is playing tricks?

Chapter 44 Mysterious characters

As soon as Gu Qianchen stepped into the city gate of Xiangzhou, the scene inside the city made her frown tightly.Lifeless, it always seems that something is missing.

The beggars on the street squatted in twos and threes, many of them were young and hardworking, which was really strange.Nuo Da is a city of Xiangzhou, can't even find a job? So many labors are all idle, logically speaking, it shouldn't be.Gu Qianchen frowned, really not understanding.There is still surplus labor in Xiangzhou City.

Gu Qianchen sighed softly. Is the banditry in Xiangzhou true or not? She has received the relevant news, and the banditry in Xiangzhou is indeed true. However, this group of volunteers is on the Mount Ying, dozens of miles outside the city of Xiangzhou. , Zhou Rong mentioned this mountain in that Tibetan acrostic poem, is there some connection between it?

Mount Qu is indeed in Xiangzhou, and when Zhou Rong wrote the Tibetan acrostic poem, the couplet did not rhyme, but the couplet rhymed. Go to Taoyuan, and you will be happy in the coming year." From this point of view, perhaps Mount Bi is the key.

After thinking it over, Gu Qianchen was not in a hurry, so he found a teahouse and sat down to see if he could get any useful information.Even if you can't, at least you can get a general understanding of the current situation in Xiangzhou.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Qianchen was seated, the owner of the teahouse came over and said, "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, don't stay here, go as soon as possible, Xiangzhou, something is going to happen, this is not a good idea." place, let's go."

"Where do you start with this?" Gu Qianchen asked doubtfully, frowning slightly.

"Oh, listen to me, I mean it kindly." The shopkeeper didn't elaborate, as if he was taboo about something.

"To tell you the truth, I came to Xiangzhou this time to do something. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while. You should tell me what's going on. Otherwise, I won't worry about it. " Gu Qianchen said with a smile, looking easy to talk.

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed deeply, "Have you looked at those beggars at the gate of the city?"

"I see, I'm also wondering, how come so many people become beggars? Even if there are not so many in other places." Gu Qianchen followed the store's words, trying to figure out something more .

"Those people can't help it. Who has the way to be willing to be a beggar. A few days ago, Mr. Zhou went to negotiate with the thieves on the mountain. Unexpectedly, he was charged with collaborating with the enemy. Most of those people are from Mr. Zhou's house. The Rong family issued an order saying that they are not allowed to work for those people, and anyone who dares to use them will be fined together. Now this Xiangzhou is the world of the Rong family." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.

"Master Zhou? What's going on with the Rong family? Why do you say something is going to happen in Xiangzhou?" Gu Qianchen had some guesses in his heart, but he continued to ask.

The shopkeeper sighed, as if he had suddenly opened up the chatterbox, and started talking.
