The Reborn Lady is Farming

Chapter 502: Suspect

"This is the most dangerous," Qi Haoran's face flashed with anger, "Xixia's army is equipped with a kind of big sword, and they would have fought with their soldiers. Knowing the inertia of the wound caused by that kind of sword, there are more than two hundred in the village. Number man, if there are only a few people, it can be said to be a coincidence, but more than 200 people, including children, are all those kinds of stab wounds, and the moves are also from the Xixia army. You tell this general, this may be a vendetta. , or an accident?"

Lieutenant General Zhong's hands trembled, and he couldn't help covering his face. He didn't want to admit this fact. If this was true, it would mean that the foreign enemy had opened the door of their house and rushed to the second courtyard. The homeowners and family members who lived in the third entry were still living as usual without knowing anything about it. No, maybe the foreign enemy not only rushed to the second entry, but they might also disguised themselves and sneaked into their backyard.

   At the thought of this, Lieutenant General Zhong shuddered.

   Qi Haoran's heart trembled, but he was never a person who avoided difficulties. On the contrary, the more difficult the situation, the stronger and calmer he became.

   No matter how much thought and calculation he had before, when facing the invasion of foreign enemies, whether it was bandit suppression, army control, or even rebellion, all had to temporarily step aside.

  If he is left alone, what is the difference between him and the Tarrups, and the Da Zhou royal family he despises? At this time, nothing is more important than resisting foreign humiliation.

Qi Haoran raised his eyes and looked at everyone. Seeing the timid eyes in their eyes, he knew that they were afraid of fighting against the Hu people. It's worth it for them to do this? Besides, why did they pretend to be from Xixia? Isn't it the best way to frame things on the bandits at this time? Even if there are so many bandits on Jingnan Road, even if the yamen has doubts, can they still check them out one by one, or Is it because the investigation could not be done with all their strength? Therefore, the incident happened suddenly, and the other party obviously did not have time to think about it more, or even to stop it. What has been shown now is the most real thing. They did not dare to burn the corpse to destroy the evidence because they were afraid of attracting people from the nearby villages. And they can't guarantee that they can clear all the traces, and they are in a hurry, just want to leave the scene as soon as possible..."

   Qi Haoran met everyone's eyes and said word by word, "This is what the people of Xixia did."

"In order to suppress the bandits, the Holy Lord dispatched various armies to support them early. The troops dispatched outside Jinghu South Road may not only be garrisoned on the main road in the southwest and northwest, but may also be garrisoned guarding the border gates. The Xixia soldiers somehow bypassed the garrison's sight. Or go straight ahead. Anyway, a Xixia army has come to us now. People in this village may have discovered them, or it may be that the existence of this village blocked their way, so they were slaughtered. Now we have five days. I can't get the latest news from the court..."

Qi Haoran said that he couldn't go on, and sighed: "It's all my fault. Before, in order to avoid the pursuit of the bandits, I took everyone to hide in Tibet. For information, I could only go to the common people. After all, the information they knew was limited. Now I don't know what the situation is at the border..."

"General, I can't blame you for this. There are only so many of us. Most of Jingnan Road is occupied by bandits. If it wasn't for you, we would have been torn apart by those bandits." Dao, another one followed closely: "General, if you have any idea, just say it, we all listen to you, anyway, before we became soldiers, we knew that if we came out, it would be difficult to go back alive, and we already picked it up before. A life, this life is yours, if you can have a fight with the barbarians before you die, you will not come to this world in vain."

   "Yes, isn't it the Hu people, we've done it with them." A battalion chief called out.

   Three of the five battalion generals expressed their stance, and the other two looked at Lieutenant General Zhong hesitantly, opened their mouths, or lowered their heads and said nothing.

Qi Haoran looked at Lieutenant General Zhong, Lieutenant General Zhong took a deep breath, his heart was bitter, but his face firmly said: "As long as there is definite evidence that this is what Xixia did, the last general will also be dispatched with the general, and Xixia will not die. endlessly!"

Qi Haoran nodded and said: "I have explored the traces in the village, and their people should be no less than 500 people. It is impossible for so many people to walk all the way from the border to here without showing any traces, so we just need to look carefully. , you can definitely find traces."

"My subordinates have also surveyed the entrance and exit, and I can barely see some traces, but they can't be seen at any distance. Either the traces overlap or they have disappeared. This place is still like this, let alone the time. Longer past."

Qi Haoran took out the map and said, "Take the situation of this village as a reference, they should follow the big road and the small road. If they encounter a place with a large population, they should avoid it, and try to take the small road. Once they reach the remote place, they will walk on the road. Avenue, this village is only two days away from Tongren. Tongren is very small and the terrain is dangerous in some places. There are only two paths that continue from this village. Send someone to look for them along these two roads to see if they can. What traces were found."

Qi Haoran looked at Lieutenant General Zhong and said, "If the investigation finds out that this matter is really a vendetta, as you said, or murdered for other interests or conflicts, and it only targets people in this village, although I will feel sorry for the people in the village. , but will still be happy, because we avoided a disaster in the big week."

   Vice Admiral Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Qi Haoran was not stubborn.

Early the next morning, Qi Haoran sent two teams to investigate along the two selected trails. In order to prevent anyone from deliberately producing or concealing evidence, Qi Haoran mixed up those who were loyal to himself and those who preferred Vice General Zhong. Together, let them supervise each other.

After they left, Qi Haoran asked people to dig more than 60 large pits not far from the village, intending to bury all the corpses. At this time, the weather was hot and the corpses rotted quickly, although they had only died for two days. , but the air already smelled of carrion.

  Qi Haoran originally wanted to burn it down, but seeing the family lined up together, Qi Haoran felt that burying the family together might be the only comfort they could give them after death.

   So Qi Haoran ordered more than 60 large pits to be dug, one for each family.

The people who were left alone before were confirmed after they found the family tree and household registration of each family. When they buried all the people, Deputy General Zhong who stayed in the village also took people to scrape the whole village. Everything that can be eaten and used is gathered in Daping.

Seeing that Qi Haoran's face was not very good, Deputy General Zhong immediately explained: "These things are rotten if you keep them. It's better to support the soldiers. Besides, aren't we going to seek revenge for their murderers? The whole thing is regarded as a reward. "

Qi Haoran snorted coldly and said, "Did you say that you don't agree? But you put your stuff here, what if it rains? It's because we don't eat enough moldy rice these days, so I plan to make another batch. ?"

   Deputy General Zhong heard the words and immediately ordered people to move the food to a larger room, and other supplies were also placed in each room.

   Qi Haoran stood at the window and watched for a while, then turned around and sat on the chair, looking down at the small token in his hand.

  Feibai said puzzled: "Master, why didn't you take this thing out? If you take it out, who would suspect that it was not done by Xixia? We still need to work hard to find evidence and traces."
