Chapter 78: Mass graves are burned by fire
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, these people wouldn't have dared to believe that a woman would dare to be so bold!
When everyone witnessed how Sang Qingrou handled the corpse with her own hands, there was only one thought in their minds: Was she crazy?
For two hours, Sang Qingrou only relied on a dagger, rummaging from beginning to end, sweating profusely.
It was raining heavily, and she was so tired and soaked under her humble tent that she was soaking wet. The guards who were watching from the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore, and they turned around one by one, vomiting wildly.
Even Ouyang Shuo, who was accustomed to the battlefield and the smell of blood, was a little unbearable when he saw this situation.
He moved his gaze to Sang Qingrou's face, and there was no conspiracy in those eyes, at this time, there was only the word 'serious'.
Today, if it were another woman, when she heard the word mass grave, she was afraid that she would be frightened and had no owner, let alone rummaging through a corrupt corpse like Sang Qingrou.
These people don't understand that for Sang Qingrou, she is professional, and facing this corpse is like looking at a specimen.
But now the conditions are simple, she only has a dagger, otherwise, she would not be so hard.
She suddenly raised her head and called Ouyang Shuo.
"Do me a favor!"
"What?"
"Help me take off the silver hairpin on my head. ”
Ouyang Shuo stood next to her, took off the hairpin, and saw her use the silver hairpin to test the poison on the corpse, and gradually, he admired Sang Qingrou a little more.
This trip made him see a strange Sang Qingrou, such a woman, I am afraid that the entire Taichen Kingdom will not be able to find a second one. He had more doubts about Sang Qingrou!
Why, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Sang Qingrou in front of him did not look like Sang Chengyuan's daughter-in-law.
He really wanted to ask Sang Qingrou: Who are you!
I don't know how long it took, Sang Qingrou exhaled a breath of turbidity, covered the corpse with a white cloth, took two steps back, and the whole process was over.
"How is it?" Ouyang Shuo, who had seen the whole process, no longer had the slightest suspicion about her, and he was now eager to know what was going on with this epidemic.
Sang Qingrou glanced at him, and did not forget to make fun of him at this time.
"What? Why don't you suspect me this time? I'm a little unused to it. ”
"This king is talking to you about business. He frowned, his instincts telling him that it wasn't that simple.
"It is almost certain that the deceased was poisoned. As for what kind of poison it is, I can't be sure. In addition, he was broken in his leg and tongue, which was also pulled out. One can imagine how terrible the torture he suffered when he was living. ”
Broken legs, tongue pulled, and eventually slowly died under the effect of poison.
At that time, he may have been struggling in a mass grave. He wanted to get out of here and find a chance at life. Seeing that there were all corpses around, Sang Qingrou could imagine how desperate the deceased was at that time.
She looked at the corpse in front of her, and her expression gradually became solemn. How much hatred did the other party have with him, and they used such terrible means to torture him.
What she couldn't figure out the most was what kind of poison she died of.
If she had advanced equipment, she could certainly analyze the toxin components in it.
But in this era, she only has a dagger to examine the corpse. To get the current result, she has done her best.
"The next question is what to do with the bodies. ”
According to the past practice, when such a situation occurs, of course, these corpses must be burned together with the corpses that died due to the epidemic, and even the burning places must be specially treated to spread immunity.
But now there is a more important question, and now it involves more questions. If the investigation continues, should this body be left as evidence?
Burn it like this, and when the time comes, when the culprit is found, will the other party refuse to admit it because he can't produce evidence?
Ouyang Shuo was also worried about this matter: "You are worried about the future!"
Sang Qingrou nodded: "This corpse, it's best to dispose of it quickly." However, in this case, it is tantamount to destroying the evidence. When the time comes, will the other party come to death without proof?"
Ouyang Shuo thought about it, but decided to cremate the body immediately.
"There are so many people here who have seen it with their own eyes, and they are all witnesses, and they will not die without witnesses. This man is so cruel that he must be found out. ”
"Then dispose of the corpse first, and then think about it in the long run. ”
Sang Qingrou suddenly remembered something, and specially reminded: "By the way, when we go back in a while, all the clothes on our bodies will be burned, and we can't keep any of them." ”
The guards looked at the mountains of corpses around them and began to suffer.
It's still raining, and I don't know when this rain will stop. At this time, it will be difficult to burn the body.
"Master, it's still raining outside, we have to take advantage of this time to burn the body, I'm afraid we can't do it, and I don't know when this rain will stop. Is there any other way?" When he said this, he was looking at Sang Qingrou.
Sang Qingrou looked at the gray sky and frowned.
She also knew that it would be difficult to burn the corpses at this time, but the more dangerous it would be for these corpses to stay for a day.
She thought about it for a moment and finally proposed, "Anyway, burn this body first." Although it was raining, it was difficult to burn the other bodies here. We could have burned it first, and if the fire was big enough, it would be difficult for the rain to extinguish it. If it doesn't work, ask someone to prepare some accelerants. ”
"Accelerant?" Ouyang Shuo looked at Sang Qingrou suspiciously, what kind of word is this.
Sang Qingrou then remembered that they didn't understand what it meant, so she immediately explained.
"It's oil, wine, and the like, things that help make the fire burn stronger. If you have dry firewood, you can also get it. She sighed: "This rain, it shouldn't be going to rain all the time!"
Everyone prepared according to Sang Qingrou's instructions, and when everything was ready, the heavy rain just now also stopped.
"While it's not raining yet, let's hurry up!" Sang Qingrou didn't have the slightest shelf of the eldest lady, and helped the guards prepare together, they didn't dare to touch the corpse that had been touched by Sang Qingrou, or Sang Qingrou set up the corpse herself and lit the fire herself.
Seeing the corpse turn to ashes in the raging fire, Sang Qingrou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to trouble everyone, carry these corpses one by one. ”
"So many, I'm afraid it's hard. ”
"Slowly lead the fire to the side of the pit, and we retreat. The corpses in this pit are piled up, and of course they can't be removed one by one. ”
Qi Yue understood what she meant, and ordered everyone to move the corpses with a low degree of corruption.
After such a toss, by the time they left the mass grave, it was already completely dark.
The mass graves, which had been washed by the rain, had been completely engulfed in flames by this time.
