The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Haoran waved his hands to let the soldiers enter the village in a defensive position. The village is not big, with only about 60 households, but no one survived.

People up to seventy years old, down to two-year-old babies, and even pregnant women have not escaped the murderous hands.

It should be at night when the crime occurred, because most of the people died in their own houses or beds, and few dead were found on the roads in the village.

The time of death was about two days ago. If it was daytime, the people in the village would not be so crowded at home. Some of them must have gone to the fields or went out. However, they checked the nearby fields and found no corpses or traces of murder.

And if the people in the village were not killed, there is no reason for two days to pass and no one came to deal with it, so the biggest possibility is that the whole village, old and young, were all killed. So complete, it can only be done at night , to be more precise, it should be late at night.

The other party, probably because they were worried about being discovered, did not clear the scene with fire. Instead, they carried back several corpses that had fallen not far from the entrance of the village and threw them into the house. None of the others moved.

The soldiers gathered all the corpses at the entrance of the village in silence, one after the other, and they were obviously put together by a family, and they fell on the road in the village. Lighting the lamps at night, everyone searched the entire village. They even searched the cellar, and indeed there was not a single survivor.

A soldier carried a child about three or four years old out of the cellar, and couldn't help crying. The child was killed by stabbing a knife into his abdomen. The soldier found several baskets of fallen vegetables on the left side of him. It was his family who hid him in the cellar, but he was still checked out...

The child's grandparents, parents and three uncles were all down at the gate and in the hall, but the door leading to the cellar was clean without a trace of blood. Obviously, his family didn't run to the backyard, just to prevent the murderer from noticing The cellar in the backyard, but the child who was protected by the whole family still failed to survive.

Everyone lit the torches and stood silently on the large ping at the entrance of the village.

Even Deputy General Zhong, who was used to bullying ordinary people, couldn't help but have red eyes, and cursed: "These bastards are simply inhumane. No wonder the imperial court wants to send an army to suppress them."

When everyone heard this, there was some hatred in their eyes, "Vice General Zhong, let's go back and kill the bandits, and avenge the common people."

Qi Haoran squatted on the ground to examine the corpse, and when he heard this, he gave him a hard look, then turned his head and said to Deputy General Zhong: "Who said this was done by bandits?"

"Who else is it if it's not bandits? Could it be the army of our imperial court?" Deputy General Zhong shouted dissatisfied with Qi Haoran's questioning tone.

"There are more than 200 people in the village. There must be many people on the other side for such a large-scale massacre. I have rarely seen such a frenzied homicide. It is impossible for a few or dozens of people to do such a big case. In addition to the imperial army, there are only bandits, and this kind of insane thing was not done by bandits, so could it be that our colleagues did it?" A battalion chief yelled.

The soldiers were also filled with righteous indignation when they heard the words, and some even shouted: "General, take us back to fight the bandits. We will definitely wipe out all these gangsters and return the common people to a bright future."

Qi Haoran sneered, "If you want to return the common people to a bright future, you have to fight not only bandits, but also foreign enemies."

Qi Haoran tore open the chest of a corpse on the ground, revealing the hideous knife wound, and said, "Do you really think that this man was killed by bandits? Don't forget, the villages we passed before were all in good condition. The bandit den is much closer."

"What do you mean, General?" Vice-General Zhong looked down at the wound, thinking of what Qi Haoran said just now, his face changed, and said: "This, is this done by a barbarian?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and they looked warily at the knife wound on the chest of the corpse on the ground, as if there was a scourge there.

Qi Haoran sighed and said: "It is hateful for bandits to rob houses, but it is undeniable that they used to be the people of my Great Zhou. Most of them fell into the grass and became bandits, but there are many relatives and friends who still stay at the foot of the mountain as good people. Such people Would you slaughter the village, even the young and old?"

Qi Haoran saw that everyone bowed their heads in thought, and said again: "Among you, some of you have been soldiers in Hengzhou a few years ago, and you should be no strangers to the local bandits. It can be seen that they are so cruel and crazy?"

"Although those bandits robbed passing merchants, robbed officials, and even stormed government offices, they rarely robbed ordinary people, let alone killed people."

"Yes, even the Qi Shanzhai, which the worst people hate, would go down the mountain to grab the food and poultry raised by the people's homes at most. Every time they plundered, they would not take away all the food. Could it be that the bandits became more ruthless as they went out, and even directly slaughtered the village? gone."

"So, it's really not the bandits who did it, but the barbarians?" A soldier said with a pale face: "But, aren't we on Jingnan South Road? Why are there barbarians here? The pass is not only far from here, we Jinghu is the middle of the Great Zhou, right?"

The soldiers looked at Qi Haoran with some uncertainty, wanting to get his support, because he told them all these things. Before, they didn't even know how many government offices there were on South Jing South Road, but Qi Shen will teach them to recognize the map in the future , but also to recognize the map of the whole Great Zhou Dynasty, these little guys who had just joined the army knew that the Jing South Road where they were located was in the middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was very prosperous.

Could it be that Qi Haoran was wrong in his teaching, that Jinghu South Road is actually not as far from the border as they thought, and that the barbarians could slaughter their villages as soon as they came in?

Qi Haoran's face sank into the water, of course he knew how far it was from the border, and it was because of this that his face became even more ugly.

Deputy General Zhong also grabbed the arm of a battalion chief with trembling hands and feet, and leaned on him with half his body strength, so he didn't fall to the ground.

The next thing is not something ordinary soldiers can listen to. Qi Haoran once again told everyone clearly that Jinghu South Road is in the middle of Dazhou, and it is not close to the border. As for why the Hu people came to Jinghu to slaughter the village, and Why the village was slaughtered? This remains to be investigated, but I have a vast land and abundant resources, and there are countless roads and small roads. Maybe those barbarians came from the small roads. Therefore, Qi Haoran asked everyone to think about whether there are outsiders in their hometowns when they are resting tonight. Unknown small roads can lead to traffic arteries and so on.

After assigning tasks to everyone and diverting everyone's attention, Qi Haoran led a group of middle and upper-level military leaders into a house.

Fei Bai asked people to stay outside, went to the kitchen to bring a pot of water and went back to add boiled water for everyone, Qi Haoran was just saying: "... this matter must be notified to the imperial court and all the troops as soon as possible, so that everyone should be careful to guard against barbarians. We need to send more people.”

Deputy General Zhong poured himself a big sip of water and asked, "General, are you sure this was done by a barbarian? Maybe it was a vendetta or something. You must know that this place is so far away from the border, and the imperial court has 200,000 troops in Jingnan Lake." road……"
