"What was cut out?"

Pei Ye paused after hearing this.

The face is as steady as an old dog, and the heart is scolded three times.

She just went out to earn some ordinary merit points, and chose an ordinary pest......

How could it be so coincidental that something was cut out of the stomach of an ordinary pest insect?

The butler didn't know what to think, and his expression was slightly unnaturally distorted.

His answer was also beyond the expectations of the trio.

"It's personal. ”

Qin Shao grunted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Living?"

Without waiting for the housekeeper to answer, Pei Ye pouted and said, "When I found that big worm lying by the stream, the sun had just climbed to the highest point. ”

From noon to this point, there are at least three hours.

Who can live in the belly of a tiger for three hours?

If the person who was eaten by the tiger was still alive, how could Pei Ye not find out?

Besides—

"The mouth of the big worm is so big that even a baby can't swallow it raw. There was a man in the belly, and that was also chewed and swallowed. ”

After Pei Ye finished saying this, the housekeeper made up the correct answer.

It is indeed an individual, a part of someone's body to be exact.

The blisters in the back kitchen found human limbs and fabrics in the belly of the big worm, and immediately informed Gu Yang, the owner of the Gu Mansion, of the news.

Gu Yang didn't care at first.

The big insect that Pei Ye hunted plagued the township, eating people and harming people, and it was normal to have something human in his stomach.

He even thought a little badly that when Pei Ye and the three young people knew the news, they would still have a little bit of interest in barbecue.

Gu Yang asked the housekeeper to deal with this matter.

I never thought that it would be "big luck"!

The housekeeper's father was a government official in charge of examining the corpses, and the housekeeper should have inherited his father's business, but he had a life-saving grace for Gu Yang and was lucky to get out of his cheap business.

The skills learned from his father were not lost, and the housekeeper sorted out the broken corpses and found strange places.

The corpse was covered with arrow wounds, not the ones left by the clusters of arrows that ordinary hunters could use.

The traces look like the masterpieces of military arrowheads.

After digging through it carefully, he found a piece of cloth with words written on it from the corpse.

Cloth is the culprit who gave Gu Yang a headache this time.

Finding that things were not simple, the housekeeper simply sorted out the corpse pieces that could be picked up and the clothes of the owner of the corpse.

"Does the deceased have a special status?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "This matter is still hidden, it has not alarmed the government, and the identity of the deceased is not known for the time being." ”

Pei Ye's brain turned quickly.

The failure to determine the identity of the owner of the corpse means that "identity" is not the root cause of Gu Yang's attention.

Then there's only one possibility.

"What tricky thing does the owner of the corpse carry?"

The housekeeper's pace quickened, and the sound of the clothes rubbing and slapping also revealed the master's state of mind at this time.

"What is it?"

When Pei Ye asked this, the group happened to cross the main hall.

Gu Yang sat on the head.

He has always shown himself in front of people with elegance and elegance, but this time he rarely showed a gloomy and solemn expression.

Seeing the three young men coming over didn't soften the coldness on his face.

"It's a letter. ”

His voice was cold enough to drop ice slag.

"Letter?"

On the table in front of Gu Yang was quietly placed a cloth that could not be seen in its original color.

Pei Ye saw Gu Yang's demeanor, and pouted in his heart-

She doesn't like to look for trouble, but trouble just likes to find her.

Familiar troubles, familiar style.

"What is written in the letter?"

Gu Yang didn't answer, but just wandered between the three young men with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Isn't it convenient for them to hear?"

Gu Yang was choked by Pei Ye's words.

He didn't know whether to say that Pei Ye was blindly confident or had no self-knowledge.

His posture already hinted at one thing-

This matter is very interfering, and it is better for ordinary people not to get involved.

Everyone present, who is the "ordinary person" who has no count in his heart?

"Since that big worm was hunted by Mr. Pei, no matter what happened to the tiger's belly, she couldn't escape it. Don't look at Qin Shao's face with baby fat, but when he is serious, it gives people the illusion that his grandfather is possessed, making people subconsciously ignore his age, Qin Shao's eyes swept over the cloth, and the young man said in a clear voice, "Mr. Pei can't pick it up if he wants to." ”

Gu Yang didn't know what to think of, and sighed lightly.

He pointed to the bloodstained cloth.

"That's it, see for yourself. ”

Shen Sang stepped forward to pick up the cloth and opened it to look at it with Qin Shao, who couldn't wait to come up.

Pei Ye was aroused, but she was "illiterate", so she could only wait for the two of them to read it to her.

Result –

The faces of these two half-grown teenagers were the same as copying and pasting Gu Yang, and they suddenly became gloomy and solemn.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the main hall was about to solidify, Pei Ye could only interrupt the "silent tacit understanding" between the three of them.

"What's written on it?"

Can someone translate for her?

"It is very likely that the 'Fengjia Army' will secretly evacuate Licheng in the near future and retreat to Bancheng. ”

Pei Ye: "???"

Although she didn't know what Bancheng was, Qin Shao was talking about "retreating", and the geographical location was definitely closer to the inner line than Licheng.

And most importantly –

"I've heard you say before that the 'Feng Family Army' is stationed in Licheng, and it is both training and conscription, it seems that it is to meet the enemy?"

To meet the enemy, it means that there is a battle in the vicinity of Licheng.

At this juncture, the "Fengjia Army" withdrew and retreated to Bancheng, so what should be done with Licheng, which is empty of troops?

"The two armies are on the verge of breaking out, and at this time the soldiers will be pulled away...... Isn't Licheng ......?"

Pei Ye thought of this.

Licheng has been sold!

Gu Yang said: "It is precisely this truth, so the content on this cloth is suspicious." ”

"Fabrics are fake, deliberately misleading?"

Qin Shao's face softened slightly, and Pei Ye's next sentence snuffed out his happiness.

"The cloth can't be fake. ”

Her eyebrows were full of solemnity, and her expression was thoughtful.

"If the cloth is fake, the news is also fake, why not stuff the cloth into the belly of chickens, ducks, fish and geese, so that it is easier for people to find out. I found the big worm because it was unlucky, and you can see its size, and the average hunter has only one way to die. "The tiger's digestion ability is not bad, it can run and jump and hide in the deep mountains and old forests, it is not easy to find its traces, let alone hunt things before they are digested, "unintentionally" found this "fake cloth", "in addition - the deceased was assassinated." ”

Pei Ye didn't dislike the dirt, and stepped forward to pluck the pieces with a stick.

The corpse was not human-like, and some of it was chewed up and digested.

But there are still clues.

"The fatal wound was an arrow from the back through the left chest. ”

The cluster of arrows hit the sternum, so the marks are more obvious.

"If it's an assassination...... So why didn't the man who was chasing him check things?"

Qin Shao was puzzled.

Pei Ye shrugged: "Maybe it's a big man-eating insect nearby, and the person who pursues it leaves before he has time to check it, or it is possible that the deceased found the person who was chasing him, and stuffed things into his mouth for the safety of the token, and it is also possible that the assassin did not know the existence of the cloth......"

Either way, it doesn't matter.
