[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Think of this possibility.

Thinking of how many people may have lost their homes because of this in a corner they didn't know, everyone fell into silence.

After a long time, Qiqige took a deep breath.

She gathered herself together, looked up at Yinfeng and Yinti: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end!"

Yinfeng and Yinti should be the same.

They suppressed their anxiety - to prove their ideas, they must first find Tian Shun's body.

It was not until three days later that the guards and soldiers who went up the mountain to search for the bones returned.The reason for their late return is simple-there are many bones at the foot of Mount Tai, far exceeding everyone's imagination.

The guards looked solemn, and placed the bones brought back in a separate courtyard.As soon as Pu saw such a horrifying scene, the palace servants screamed out of nowhere, they hurriedly avoided speaking, and some even turned pale and immediately vomited.

Yinfeng and Yinti hurried over.

They were also extremely shocked by the scene in front of them, and they were speechless for a while.

The bones are stacked with each other, and the old and the new alternate.

The two held their breath for a long time before letting out a long breath.

Also rushing over was the assistant from the Tai'an government office.

The several writers were also taken aback, but their well-informed reactions were much better than others.They quickly entered the working state, firstly removed the bones that looked human but were not actually human bones, and then removed some of the ancient bones, leaving about twenty or thirty bones.

The writers gathered together in twos and threes, with serious faces.

They discussed intensely, and it took more than half a cup of tea to barely reach a conclusion, and started a new round of inspections.

This time, Wu Zuo's face became darker and darker.

After they tidied up the corpses, the leader explained to Yinfeng and others: "Reporting to His Royal Highness, it is estimated that there will be a total of nineteen corpses within ten years, and among them are six male corpses whose linen and cloth are all destroyed, and there is no trace of bones." , should have died for more than five years. The other thirteen were firstly damaged by the linen cloth, but there were still a small amount of dependence, secondly, there were traces of relics scattered around, and thirdly, the cartilage was still there, and the bones were not completely dry. Within five years."

Yinti was dumbfounded: "Within ten years... nineteen?"

Yinfeng's complexion was not good: "The amount...is not right."

Most of the jumpers on Sheshen Cliff are well-known, and there are records around Tai'an. In the past ten years, there have been only five people.

And there are nineteen corpses here, so what about the rest?He tilted his head and asked Zuo Zuo: "Is there any other discovery? Could it be caused by the attack of wild animals? Or voluntary jumping off the cliff...?"

Wu Zuo didn't hesitate at all, he replied respectfully: "Of the nineteen corpses, eleven corpses are all traces of chopping with axes, shovels, sickles and other objects to varying degrees. The officials thought that these people didn't jump to death. Instead, he was hacked to death and then dumped at the bottom of the cliff."

Yinfeng and Yinti's expressions darkened.

After a pause, he added: "Two of the other eight corpses were found with broken hemp ropes nearby, and the bones were twisted and folded... They should have been bound and thrown away. The other three were less than ten years old. The child and the other three have fracture marks on the head and body, and the bones are scattered in a large area, and it is suspected that they fell off the cliff and died."

Slash marks, bundles and throws, and dead bodies of children.

Ordinarily, there may be only three people who died by jumping off the cliff...Thinking about the five filial sons who jumped off the cliff when they read the county annals data, that is to say, after Tian Shun, there was another person who fell off the cliff.

More importantly... where did the rest of the bones come from?

Yinfeng felt a chill, and he felt the hairs on his arms standing on end, and he felt a little bad all over.

They also climbed Mount Tai in their previous lives.

The governor of Tai'an also mentioned the incident of a filial son jumping off the cliff, but Khan Ama angrily reprimanded him and asked for a monument to be erected to prohibit it, and no one went to check the rest of the situation.

What about these people...?

These bones, these innocent souls just stay at the bottom of Mount Tai with hatred?

Yinfeng clenched his hands into fists.

He slammed heavily on the table with a terrifying expression on his face.

Yinti took a deep breath.

His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he turned his head to ask the officer in charge of the interrogation: "Has the village chief of Tianjiacun explained?"

The official shook his head slightly: "There is no explanation yet."

Not only did he fail to explain, but he also yelled that he was wronged, and looked innocent.

Yinti turned around: "These corpses have all been turned into bones, and I can't find Tianshun..."

The village chief of Tianjiacun would not know if he killed him.

They couldn't find any other way...

Looking at the exposed bones, a flame was burning in the chests of Yinfeng and Yinti.Yinfeng finally regained his composure, turned his head and told the guards: "Put all the identifiable things found around the bones in the center of Tai'an City, and let the people who have lost contact with their family members in the past ten years go to check and see if they can be identified. The body cannot be identified."

Yinti: "Could it be an outsider?"

Yinfeng shook his head: "Firstly, they are using axes, sickles and other objects. Presumably, they should be farmers, hunters or ordinary people around. If outsiders go up the mountain with such objects, they will definitely attract attention. From the perspective of people going up the mountain, it may be more likely to go up the mountain in the middle of the night..."

Climbing Mount Tai during the day is extremely difficult, let alone at night.Only farmers and hunters who are very familiar with this area can do it.

The guards all agreed.

A dozen corpses were found at the foot of Mount Tai, and most of them were murdered. The news quickly spread throughout Tai'an City.

The whole city of Tai'an was like a pot of boiling water, and it became noisy.

I don't know how many people rushed to check the utensils next to the bones, but it's a pity that these things are either too common or badly damaged.Even though there were many viewers, no one reported to the officials for several days.

Just when everyone thought that this clue was going to stop here, two old men came from outside the government office.According to them, the utensils next to one of the corpses seemed to belong to their son-in-law who had been missing for several years, but the daughter had to come and see it again.

Yinfeng Yinti was excited for a while.

Qiqige didn't hold back either, and led the queen there in a hurry, hoping to find out the truth.

There are so many people in this family.

In front are two gray-haired old men, supported by their son and daughter-in-law.As for the daughter who came to check, she wore a black veil on her head and a plain robe, she was so emaciated that only a few bones were left, and her eyes were even more hollow.

She stumbled forward, but just took a look through the gauze curtain from a distance, and immediately collapsed on the ground, crying loudly.

His elder brother and sister-in-law tried unsuccessfully to appease her younger sister, but her eye circles turned red first.

Yinfeng motioned to the servants to help the family sit down, and brought some tea for them to drink.After finally calming down, the woman took out an old sachet from her bosom, and stepped forward tremblingly: "This is what the woman made for the husband. It's a pair."

Yinfeng observed carefully.

Although the sachet picked up from the bottom of the cliff was mostly rotten, judging from the remaining patterns, it was exactly the same as the one in the woman's hand.

The pattern looks weird, but it has its own characteristics.

Yinfeng turned his head and asked, "Which bone is it?"

For the convenience of inspection, the bones were recorded and numbered.

The officials on the side quickly opened the list and quickly found the corresponding corpse: "It's number three."

Yinfeng was taken aback for a moment, and then became a little excited.

The closer to the front, the younger and more seriously injured.

When she saw the dead body whose head had been hacked several times, and the poles scattered beside it, the woman was 100% sure that this was her husband.She cried bitterly again, but this time the woman calmed down quickly, and explained the whole story in detail: "The man's husband's name is Tian Feng..."

The first sentence made everyone's expressions change.

Qiqige couldn't hold back her surprise, and turned out from behind the screen.She looked at the woman intently: "Your husband's surname is Tian...he is also from the Tian family village?"

The woman nodded: "Yes."

She seemed to see the emotional changes of the big men in front of her, and hurriedly said: "My husband is indeed from Tianjia Village, and he will come to the city to sell things and do small business during the day."

Qiqige and the others exchanged glances.

They seem to have caught a big fish!

Everyone suppressed their excitement and hurriedly asked the woman to continue talking.

The woman quickly explained the circumstances of her husband's disappearance: "Ms. Gong went out early and returned late, and would go home at the latest at the beginning of Xu. But on that day, the woman waited until dark, but there was no sign of her. The woman called the neighbors to come together. I went to look at the gate of the city, but found that the gate was already locked, and I went back home again, and then... and then... Xianggong never appeared again."

The woman wiped her tears: "The woman reported to the official, and the vendors near the stalls in the city said that the woman's husband had left as early as Shen Zheng, and the guard at the gate of the city also saw him go out, and did not see him with the rest of the people. Signs of peers."

A big living person just disappeared.

What happened afterwards was similar to that of Tian Shun's family. The only luck was that the woman's parents were still alive, and the elder brother and sister-in-law didn't mind letting her go home. Even so, they quarreled for a long time, on the grounds that the woman's family wanted her to remarry. The clan still insisted on them handing over the betrothal gift of that year.

Speaking of this, the elder brother on the side was also full of anger: "My younger sister originally wanted to observe festivals in the village to keep the dowry property, but the village chief insulted my younger sister's reputation, saying that she, a widow, would definitely hook up in the village... Caomin and Parents were afraid that accidents would happen after a long time, so they finally asked my younger sister to keep the dowry and go back to live at home."

Qiqige looked complicated.

The women in front of me are already the luckiest group in this era, their parents are still alive, and their brother and sister-in-law are also kind-hearted, and they can only reach this level.While her mind was complicated, she asked another question: "Do you know who your husband-in-law has any enemies? Or... what happened?"

The woman shook her head: "My husband is in a small business, how could he want to offend others..."

Having said that, her voice gradually lowered.

Then the woman hesitated: "It's just... Two or three days before this, Xianggong mentioned that he wanted to report to the official, but he didn't mention it specifically."

"Report to the officer?" Qiqige and the others were taken aback at the same time.

The last one who disappeared was Tian Shun's wife who said she was going to report to Tian Shun as an official. Is there any connection between the two?Suddenly a spirit flashed through her mind, and Qiqige asked subconsciously: "When did your husband disappear?"

At the same time, Yinfeng's voice sounded.

Both grandparents and grandchildren looked at the woman, nervously waiting for the woman to give her answer.

The woman answered honestly, "It was two and a half years ago."

Qiqige took a deep breath: "Have you ever known Tian Shun?"

The woman nodded: "Cao Min knows it."

She didn't hesitate: "We used to live in Tianjia Village. Tian Shun is an honest person. He often came to help with the work when the farming was busy. When Tian Shun's family disappeared, the husband went to help find someone, but he was never found. Waiting for the clan When he said he wanted to sell Tian Shun's daughter, Xianggong went to argue with several other families."

Qiqige was slightly taken aback.

She asked back: "You said... how many families in Tianjia Village went to find the village head together with your husband-in-law?"

The woman nodded.

Qiqige looked at Yinfeng again: "Ai Jia remembers that you once said that the villagers were arguing about Tian Shun's matter, but why no one mentioned that some of the people who were arguing also had a missing man?"

Yinrong's complexion changed.

Except for the clansman who confessed that his daughter had seen it, the rest of the villagers didn't mention the dispute at all, let alone mentioning that there were other missing people in Tian's Village.

And their fears.

Why is that villager so frightened?Why do you say with certainty that if you lose yourself, you will not be able to keep your daughter?

Unless he knows—

Someone has already paid a terrible price for wanting to report to the official!
