Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Bao Zheng stood in the garrison, looked at the dilapidated houses all around, and the beams that had been burned black were lying down everywhere, and he was stunned.He had a premonition in his heart that the situation of the Yi people was not optimistic, but he did not expect it to be like this now, and he was shocked when he saw it now.This Yi clan...has it been wiped out?Bao Zheng knelt down and lightly touched the charred and fallen beam with his hand. Seeing this... it must have been ten years at the latest, right?

This is not the first time Gongsun Ce has seen such a scene. Seeing you now, I still can't hide the sadness in my heart. I slowly looked to the left. Under the lying beam was the body that was whipped to death and burned. Now... only Let go of the bones crushed by the beams.

But the Eight Sage Kings seemed to be stunned, looking at the desolate scene of the station after being burned, killed and looted, his expression became solemn.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao took a step forward, stood with Gongsun Ce staring at the beam, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Gongsun, is this the residence of the Yi clan?"

Gongsun Ce regained his senses, nodded lightly, walked towards the beam, squatted down, and carefully picked up the embroidered cloth that was pressed under the beam with only a small section exposed.

Zhan Zhao also followed at this time, squatted down to take a look, and exclaimed, "This is the pattern on the altar."

Bao Zheng heard the sound, turned around and walked over, took the embroidered cloth handed over by Gongsun Ce, looked through it carefully, and said in a deep voice, "This is the pattern of the Kuyi tribe."

"Bao Zheng, can you see what's going on here?" Eight Wise Kings came over, saw the bones under the beam, and asked with a frown.

Bao Zheng didn't answer, he squatted down silently, picked up a bone and looked at it carefully, then got up and walked to the side, carefully looked at the skeleton on the other side, after a long while, he got up, his voice was a little low, his tone suppressed anger, "It's very simple, first execute the execution and then destroy the corpse!"

Deputy Commander Liu, who came with the Eight Sage Kings, asked aloud at this time, "Why are you so sure?"

Gongsun Ce pointed to the skeleton and said softly, "There is a hole in the skeleton, it should have been pierced by a sharp object, such an obvious mark..."

Bao Zheng's deep voice was a bit depressed, "You can see those skeletons, there is no trace of struggle, and there are still ashes from the rope burnt under the skeletons, obviously they were tied up and burned alive..."

After listening to Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng's explanation, Deputy Commander Liu couldn't help frowning, "Who wants to destroy them and why?"

The Eighth Sage King walked slowly to the beam, stared at the skeleton for a while, and sighed softly, "General Liu, let's bury them first."

After carefully putting the last remaining skeleton into the pit, watching Zhan Zhao and Commander Liu filling the pit with sand, Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, "The 450th skeleton."

Bao Zheng, who was standing beside Gongsun Ce, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "There are 452 people registered in the last household registration information."

"There are... two children missing." Gongsun Ce said softly.

Bao Zheng was taken aback, then turned to look at Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce said softly, "There are 54 children in the household registration, but here I only see the skeletons of 52 children."

"Maybe... it's scattered, you didn't notice it?" Bao Zheng said in a low voice.

Gongsun Ce didn't speak, but just looked at Bao Zheng. He had many years of autopsy experience, and followed Bao Zheng to investigate cases for decades. How could he identify the wrong skeleton?But... now he can't say, lowering his eyes, Gongsun Ce feels helpless, he can't say too much.

Seeing Gongsun Ce lower his eyes, Bao Zheng thought that such a tragic scene made Gongsun Ce uncomfortable, so he said in a low voice, "Why don't you sit over there?"

Gongsun Ce raised his eyes and shook his head slightly, "I'm fine."

At this time, the soil had been filled, and the Eight Sage Kings worshiped respectfully.Seeing the Eight Worthy Kings respectfully worshiping, Vice Commander Liu and Zhan Zhao also came to worship. After Vice Commander Liu and Zhan Zhao finished their worship, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce also came forward to worship.

After the worship, the Eight Wise Kings asked Bao Zheng solemnly, "Bao Zheng, tell me what you know."

"In fact, the matter is very simple. There has always been a legend in the Yi people. The legend is that the couplet you received, my lord, contains the news of the treasure. So, someone coveted the treasure and came here Yizu, these people who covet the treasure may be very familiar with this Yizu. Seeing that these people didn't struggle much, and there were no traces of fighting in the surrounding environment, they should be people who are familiar with this Yizu. To make these 400 people so defenseless, and I guess to make these 400 people so defenseless, must have used some indiscriminate means, such as drugging!" Bao Zheng said, paused Dun, looked at the tomb, and said in a low voice, "It's been nearly ten or twenty years, maybe someone was lucky enough to survive this genocide, or the person who caused this tragedy died for some reason. Once again coveting this treasure! That's why there is the altar of the Yi people on the mountain behind the academy, and that's why... there are people who have died one after another..."

After the Eight Worthy King heard this, his expression sank, and he said, "Bao Zheng, listen to what you said, you know... who was the person who caused this tragedy?"

Bao Zheng just frowned slightly, "It's not very clear yet."

The Eighth Sage King sighed softly, "Regardless of whether the murder that is happening now has anything to do with the extermination of the Yi clan back then, this king will definitely investigate and find out the truth about the extermination of the Yi clan!"

But Gongsun Ce just lowered his head and looked at the booklet in his hand. The booklet was the household registration information that Gongsun Ce found out from the library of the government office with the permission of the Eight Sage Kings when he left the government office.

When leaving down the mountain, Gongsun Ce handed the booklet to Bao Zheng, and said in a low voice, "Look."

Bao Zheng took it, and was startled for a while, the book of songs was actually written on the cover of the booklet! ?Immediately after turning to the first page, I saw the eye-catching name——Ying Ming, and... Yangqi Mountain? !

Bao Zheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while, closed the booklet, and handed it back to Gongsun Ce, "What do you think?"

What do you think?Do you still need to ask?Gongsun Ce turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, and said seriously, "Among the dead, Dean Yingming used to be an official in Luzhou, Dean Yingming was a household registration officer, and Bachelor Yangqishan was the governor at that time. The missing Mu Dutong was the deputy general of Luzhou's garrison at that time."

They are all related to the Yi people. As the household registration officer, Dean Yingming must deal with the Yi people when he collects household registration information. As the governor of the government at that time, Yangqishan scholar must also know about the Yi people. family!The most important thing is that it is obviously a register of household registration, but the cover is "Book of Songs". This is obviously replaced by someone. I am afraid that some people do not want them to find out about this convert...

Bao Zheng sighed softly, rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired, "Let's go to the academy first."

"Going to the academy?" At this time, the eight sage kings who were walking in front had turned around and walked over at some point, "Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, if you find anything, you must come and tell this king. explain."

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, bowed his hands and said respectfully, "Yes!"

Bao Zheng also bowed his hands and bowed, "My lord, please go back to the mansion to rest. If there is any news, Bao Zheng will come and tell you."

The Eighth Sage King smiled gently, turned around and strode away.

And just when Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce turned around and walked towards the academy, they saw the sound of horseshoes coming from the direction of Luzhou Avenue.

Gongsun Ce followed his reputation, and saw a man in black galloping past on a white horse. Gongsun Ce's heart was shocked. That man in black...why does he look so much like Flying Star General Zhongzhou King Pang Tong? !

Why did Pang Tong come here? !This Pang Tong, Bao Zheng's most difficult enemy in his previous life!

Seeing Gongsun Ce staring blankly at the man in black who was galloping away, Bao Zheng felt a little suffocated, stretched out his hand to pull Gongsun Ce, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, looked at Bao Zheng, quickly shook his head, and smiled innocently, "It's okay, it's just strange, how can someone ride a horse so fast?"

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What's so strange about this? There are a lot of children from rich families who are ignorant of the law and the law!"

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing. It's rare for this person in front of him to be so sharp... However, what he said is true, although Pang Tong is smart and capable, he is also oblivious to the law!

Seeing Gongsun Ce smiling, Bao Zheng couldn't help feeling suffocated, and the corners of his mouth curled up when he saw Gongsun Ce smiling. The handsome young man in front of him is still the most comforting when he smiles!

Besides, the eight sage kings who had already arrived at the government office and were about to enter, heard the sound of horseshoes, and stood still. From a distance, they saw a tall and straight man in black, and the corners of the eight sage king's mouth pulled out a hint of sarcasm. With a gentle smile, he couldn't help crossing his chest, watching the man jump off the horse neatly and handsomely, he stepped forward, and bowed his hands, "Pang Tong pays homage to the prince!"

The Eighth Sage King chuckled, "General Pang is so polite." Seeing Pang Tong get up calmly and calmly, he asked casually, "What? General Pang is here for business?"

Pang Tong shook his head slightly, with a helpless smile on his face, "My father heard that there is a vicious murderer in Luzhou, and he is worried about the prince, so he ordered me to come and accompany him to protect his safety."

After Baxian King heard this, the gentle smile on his face froze slightly, his tone was a little displeased, mocking, "Grand Master Pang really has a heart."

Pang Tong didn't answer, just smiled.

The Eighth Sage King looked at Pang Tong, "General Pang, I have guards bestowed by His Majesty on my side, so I won't bother General Pang."

Pang Tong smiled helplessly, "My lord, my father's strict orders, no matter what I violate, my lord might as well just pretend that there is no such person as Pang Tong."

The Eighth Sage King frowned, his expression turned cold, "In that case, General Pang, please do as you please!" After the Eighth Sage King said, he turned around and strode into the mansion.

Pang Tong looked at the back of the Eight Sage Kings, heaved a sigh of relief, then stroked his forehead and murmured helplessly, "Father, why are you so stubborn!"
