Datang traitor

As Qin Yuan expected, he and Lu Qiaoer found traces of newly excavated soil in the ravine beside the road at the east end of the village.After excavation, dozens of corpses of Anding villagers were found. All the corpses had blue-purple strangle marks on their necks, which shows that they were strangled and suffocated to death.

After Lu Qiaoer saw the corpses of her parents, brothers and villagers, she was so frightened that she almost fainted from crying.

Afterwards, under the comfort of Qin Yuan, Lu Qiaoer went to identify the corpse, but did not find Lu Xiaomei, but the bodies of her uncle and aunt who raised Lu Xiaomei were there.

"Little sister Lu is the same age as me, and we often play together. The one you have seen before is the one who is very good-looking. She is the most beautiful beauty in our village. She and her uncle and aunt's family fled to us more than ten years ago. She lives in the village. We have never known her identity. A few days ago, a big, big official came to the village. What Zuo servant shoots, is the kind of person who can count on him in the capital except the emperor. He said he belongs to Lu Xiaomei Relative, this time I came here to pick up Miss Lu."

"Shang Shu Zuo Pu shot...Fang Xuanling?"

Lu Qiaoer nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that's him. He lived in the village for two days. He is very friendly and has no official airs at all. He also said that the people in Anding Village are outstanding and out of loyalty and filial piety. Because he has other friends in Bianzhou and other places If there is something to do, I will make an agreement with Lu Xiaomei, and when he finishes his work and returns home, he will send someone here to pick her up."

Since the purpose of those people is to kidnap Lu Xiaomei, then this matter probably has something to do with Fang Xuanling.

The way these villagers died was so strange that they were all strangled to death.Under normal circumstances, if a murderer wanted to kill so many people, he would usually choose tools such as a sword and an axe to kill. It was quick and labor-saving, so why did he have to pinch?

Qin Yuan also found that the choke marks on the necks of these murdered villagers were almost the same. There were two deep thumb prints on the front of the necks. The murderers seemed to like to choke people from the front.

The strange way of death of the villagers, coupled with the fact that this incident deviated from the original historical trend, made Qin Yuan feel very evil.Although he didn't feel any evil spirits from these dead villagers.

"Ah—" Lu Qiaoer suddenly cried out in pain while covering the back of her neck.

Qin Yuan hurriedly went to check, and found that there was a fist-sized black lump on the back of Lu Qiaoer's neck, and there were traces of insect bites in the center of the lump.Just now he noticed that Lu Qiaoer's face was very red, and he thought it was because of her sadness and over-excitement, but he didn't expect her to have a high fever.

"What's wrong with my neck?" Lu Qiaoer was a little dizzy, her body shaking.

Qin Yuan helped Lu Qiaoer to sit down by the tree, and told her that she might be too nervous and needed to rest because she was too tired.

"But I feel a lot of pain, my body is very hot, and I'm dizzy." Lu Qiaoer's face became paler and paler. She leaned against the tree trunk and turned her head to see Qin Yuan's serious face, so she laughed, but the smile was a little weak, "Qin Yuan Big brother seems a little different today. You have been living in the mountains all these years and don’t care about worldly affairs, how did you know that Shang Shu Zuo Pushe’s name is Fang Xuanling?”

Qin Yuan took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Lu Qiaoer's forehead, and found that Lu Qiaoer's body temperature was getting higher and higher.

"Up to now, I won't hide it from you. I am the legendary out-of-world expert who lives in seclusion deep in the mountains. I know everything about the world without leaving my house."

"Pfft! Nonsense! If you are an expert, I will be the Queen Mother." Lu Qiaoer slowly raised her arm to hold Qin Yuan's hand.She seemed to know something, tears suddenly fell down, "Brother Qin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such nasty things to you two days ago. I—"

Lu Qiaoer coughed twice, before she finished speaking, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, although she tried hard to open them, they finally closed them.

Qin Yuan held Lu Qiaoer's hand tightly, watching her fall into a coma and stop breathing.

The back of Lu Qiaoer's neck was bitten by poisonous insects. The neck is a vital part connecting the brain and the heart. The infection spread quickly, and there was no way to treat it.

It's a pity that he has no spells and can only watch her die.

Qin Yuan slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.He couldn't bear it and yelled to the sky.

But in the open four fields, except for Echo, no one responded to him at all.

Qin Yuan was so angry that he punched the tree hard, but the tree was fine, but his hand was broken.After a few drops of blood, the wound healed quickly.

Qin Yuan stared at the blood on the back of his hand, a sentence suddenly echoed in his head.

"On the first seven days of resurrection, a drop of immortal blood and three times of the soul-returning curse can bring people back to life. If it is an unjust death, it will be feasible to dissolve its resentment."

This is what his master told him before.

The sky has its rules, and there are also rules in the world.Immortals cannot interfere with human affairs at will, let alone revive dead people in the world.But the deaths of these villagers in Anding Village should never have happened in history.If he revived them by himself, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the heavenly rules.

Since they plan to revive these villagers, they cannot leave their corpses in the wilderness. It will be troublesome if wild animals eat or take them away.

Qin Yuan went to get the carriage in front of the village chief's house, and transported the corpses of all the villagers, including Lu Qiaoer, to the wooden house on the mountain.This place is ventilated and dry, and no one knows about it. It is a relatively good place to hide corpses. There should be no problem in storing them for seven days.

In order to avoid accidents, Qin Yuan nailed the windows and doors of the house with wooden boards, and then went down the mountain with peace of mind.

The villagers all died violently, he had to find a way to resolve their grievances first, and then bring them back to life on the first seven days.

Lu Qiaoer hid in the vegetable cellar for two days before, and the injury on her neck should have been caused in the vegetable cellar.

Qin Yuan lit an oil lamp and went down to the vegetable cellar first. After searching around in the vegetable cellar carefully, he caught a bedbug.

Bedbugs love to suck human blood, and it can last as long as a stick of incense at a time.Ordinary bedbugs are not highly poisonous, but this one is different. It smells like rotting corpses. Obviously, it lived in a much worse environment than a vegetable cellar, so it carries such a deadly poison. .

Qin Yuan trampled the bug to death, climbed out of the vegetable cellar, and set off from the east of the village on horseback.

Since those who kidnapped Lu Xiaomei buried her body in the east of the village when they left, Qin Yuan bet that they went east.The east just goes to the direction of Bianzhou.Lu Qiaoer had said before that Fang Xuanling was going to Bianzhou and other places to handle business.After those people robbed Lu Xiaomei, they would probably run to Fang Xuanling.

It has been two days since the incident happened. Compared with those people, Qin Yuan probably has the advantage of light luggage. He doesn't need to carry heavy rations on the road, and he can travel day and night.In order to get to Bianzhou earlier than those people, Qin Yuan spent all his savings, changed to a better horse, and moved forward at high speed.

At noon on the third day, after Qin Yuan arrived in Bianzhou, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and went straight to the post station to find Fang Xuanling.

The guards at the station stopped Qin Yuan and sent him away.

Qin Yuan sneered, he brushed off the dust on his body, straightened his back, his whole body was naturally noble.

"Bold, call your envoy to come see me!"

The guards were stunned, and looked Qin Yuan up and down, thinking that he should be an ordinary citizen in his clothes.But looking at his aura, he doesn't feel like a layman.Look at this face again, it's so handsome, the hands are thin and tender, not rough hands at all.Thinking about it this way, it might really be a character.

After all, among the royal relatives, there are always one or two who are full and idle, go out without entourage, and deliberately dress up as ordinary people, euphemistically called 'playing low-key', 'enjoying the life of ordinary people'.

The guards were afraid of offending the nobleman, so they didn't dare to neglect Qin Yuan, and politely asked Qin Yuan's identity.

Qin Yuan snorted coldly and ignored everyone.

The guards understood that they must have angered him because of their bad attitude before, and they were too scared to ask any more questions, so they hurried into the station to communicate.

After a while, Yi Cheng ran out, looked Qin Yuan up and down, saluted him, invited him in, and specially ordered someone to prepare the sweetest pear juice and the most delicious snacks.

"Where's Fang Xuanling?" Qin Yuan searched around and found no one, so he asked Yicheng.

When Yicheng heard that this young man could call Fang Pushe directly by his name, he guessed it must be someone.Anyway, it is definitely not ordinary people. If they are ordinary people, they will definitely be attracted by the delicious pear juice and such delicious snacks at the moment.But this gentleman, when the food was served, he didn't even look at it. He must have had enough of delicacies.

"Fang Fushe made a temporary decision this morning to go to Guancheng County to inspect the people's situation." Yi Cheng politely replied to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan asked Fang Xuanling how he looked when he left. Hearing that he was smiling and in a good mood, Qin Yuan knew that Fang Xuanling probably hadn't received the news that Lu Xiaomei was kidnapped.It is likely that the group who kidnapped Lu Xiaomei walked slowly and had not yet reached Bianzhou.

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when will he come back?"

Yi Cheng: "Uh, that's not clear, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe later."

the day after tomorrow?Still later?Qin Yuan locked his brows.

Those villagers have only three days left before the first seven days, and it will take at least two days to return to Anding Village from Bianzhou.If he went to Guancheng County to find Fang Xuanling now, and then discussed and solved the problem together, it would be too late in time.

Qin Yuan was anxiously thinking about how to find those people, Yicheng began to hesitate and try to ask Qin Yuan's identity.

At this time, someone from outside spread the word that Miss Lu had picked it up.

This was beyond Qin Yuan's expectation.Lu Xiaomei, who had been kidnapped, was sent here safe and sound?

Qin Yuan seriously suspects that this is a trick of 'dropping the bag'.It happened that he had met this little girl Lu, so he wanted to see if she was real or not.

Yi Cheng had known about the house servant's coming here to find relatives, and Zhang Luo's subordinates went down to arrange a room for Lu Xiaomei.

"Wait a minute! Bring the people here first." Qin Yuan ordered.

Yicheng dared not disobey, and ordered his subordinates to go down and lead people.

Lu Xiaomei moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked up to Qin Yuan to respectfully salute him.She smiled at the corner of her mouth, her voice was gentle and pleasant, and she gave the impression of being very generous and decent, but her eyes were a little dull.

From the first time Qin Yuan saw Lu Xiaomei, he confirmed that it was her.But this little sister Lu just experienced such a big event as death and hijacking, and now she can look normal and smile at people generously, and she doesn't seem to know him yet.

It's so weird.
