Chapter 30: Murder and Arson
After being sluggish for a long time, Wei Xiaoge bypassed the dirt bag and came to an old elm tree by the fence wall according to what Changgui said.
There was a shovel in the yard, and she picked it up and dug up the soil under the tree.
After digging about a foot deep, I heard the sound of a shovel hitting a stone.
I lifted the earth with my hand and saw a stone slab. The slab was uncovered, and there was a small hole in the wood underneath. In the middle of the cave is an old black lacquered wooden box with flowers and birds carved on it.
Taking out the wooden box, she flipped through it.
The house deed, title deed, and household registration are all there, and they are tightly wrapped in oiled paper. In addition, there are some silver taels and old copper coins that are not in good condition.
What makes people feel strange is that there are seven or eight pieces of jewelry that look very delicate, such as silk gold hairpins, pearl earrings, exquisite comb grates, and so on. In particular, there is a golden hairpin that stands out, and the end is inlaid with a round red gemstone.
These jewels have been around for some years, and the pearls have turned yellow, and I don't know where they came from.
Wei Xiaoge was stunned for a long time holding the box, and suddenly laughed.
Changgui's hand is so beautiful, his uncle must be angry, and it is useless to occupy the house and the field. She can even foresee that if the uncle's family hadn't died, Changgui would definitely come to the bottom of the kettle and sell the house and land cleanly.
After laughing, she was worried again.
The backyard was completely turned into a mass grave.
People must have been slaughtered by 10,000 people, and this account could not be counted on her head.
So, there's only one way......
She worked for hours, digging up four long strips of grave bags. It was all black-clothed people, and their necks and heads were separated, and their heads were in different places.
Sure enough, it was all the handiwork of tens of thousands of people.
She shook her head, completely speechless. How could this person be so cruel that he would not let go of his own subordinates.
There was some firewood in the kitchen and backyard, and she threw it into the grave bag and lit it with a torch. Afraid that the fire would not be enough, he returned to the house and split the furniture such as chairs and tables.
People kill people, and she comes to set fires. What is this called?
Halfway through the burning, I saw a head sticking out of the fence wall in the backyard and among the weeds under the west corner.
Wei Xiaoge looked at it and saw that it was Changgui. Didn't you tell him not to come?
"Why are you here?" She said angrily.
Shrugged his nose, it seemed to be the smell of burnt meat, and Changgui looked puzzled.
He slipped through the hole in the fence and walked near the fire pit, craned his neck, and peered into the corpses beneath the fire.
"My sister hasn't been back for a few hours, I'll come over to see, what is it burning?"
What to burn, you are so shrewd, can't you guess? Wei Xiaoge glanced at him, didn't say a word, and continued to split the wood and furniture in the house and threw it into the fire pit.
As for a dozen dead people, it is not so easy to burn them to ashes.
Changgui was bored, standing silently next to him, feeling bored and helping to throw wood.
"What about Changfu?" Wei Xiaoge remembered suddenly.
"Let Bai Ze take it, I have a nest in the grove on the other side of the creek." Changgui said casually.
And a nest? Alas, this bastard boy.
After tossing for most of the day, all the people in black turned into ashes, mixed with the black and gray of wood, regardless of you and me.
Wei Xiaoge wiped the sweat on his face and pondered.
It's better to simply don't even want the old house, and burn it down together. If someone came to check, they might think that the few remaining small ones of the Wei family had died in the fire. The matter of Wantu and Mu Chengfeng will not implicate the three sisters and brothers.
Besides, this generous brick house is a haunted house, and it is completely impossible to sell, and the people in the village will never buy it. When the people outside inquired, two families died, which was too frightening.
Anyway, there is no way to continue to live in Daohua Village, and the villagers treat their sisters and brothers as demons and monsters. One can't take care of it, I'm really afraid that Changgui and Changfu will be beaten to death by them with a hoe.
With a torch in hand, she stood quietly outside the fence and watched the house turn into a sea of fire.
The fire here is in full swing, and the dogs in the distance bark again and again, but I don't see half of the villagers coming to see the excitement. I'm really scared.
After burning the old house, she took Changgui to the thatched house again, and the dead old man, the chief eunuch, also had to be burned, and the corpse was destroyed.
The affairs of the Ugin king's court, if you can't get involved, you won't get involved.
Passing by the grave of the cow, Wei Xiaoge sighed again. I won't dig this one, let him settle in the ground. At that time, he threw some silver to his house, which was regarded as compensation for his kindness in giving rabbit meat, but he suffered from the fish in the pond.
The secrecy of the massacre, the side quest of the second step, there is no way to do it for the time being, and I will slowly figure it out when I have the opportunity in the future. Dealing with this kind of person is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, which is too difficult.
For now, I still concentrate on the third main quest, leaving Daohua Village, finding other places to settle down, and disguising myself as a man.
......
The sunset has set, the night wind is slow, and Wan Tu and Mu Chengfeng have been on the road for most of the day, and they are sweating.
I decided to take a break to maintain my strength, so as not to be chased and killed without strength to fight.
After eating some dry food and drinking water, Mu Chengfeng decided to talk to Wan Tu about the follow-up matters.
He pondered silently for a moment, and always felt that some things were like seeing flowers in the fog, and they were not very real.
The top priority was to rush back to Yancheng and report the matter to his grandfather, who was the county guard.
Grandfather's original thought that the day when the fish died and the net was broken must be after the crown prince ascended the throne. Now the lord of the country is like a candle in the wind, and he has no courage and ambition.
I never expected that there would be a matter of nine ghost babies. Could it be that the lord of the country is so naΓ―ve that he thinks that he can achieve his goal by using such a ridiculous evil method?
Compared with Baoliang and Faxiang, Wujin can only be said to be in a corner of peace. Although the area is not small, there are many mountains and demons. The nine county guards, each guarding one side, all have heavy troops, and the lord of the country is naturally not at ease.
Wang Ting's jealousy of the Mu family is no longer a day or two, this time it is completely torn in the face.
Mu Chengfeng watched the horses leisurely grazing, but his heart was full of sorrow.
"Brother Wan, the lord of the country is acting like this, and the current situation is probably going to be full of smoke. I was devoted to martial arts, and I originally planned to travel around the world to verify what I had learned. However, as a child of the Mu family, I am afraid it will be difficult to be alone. β
Ten thousand people looked at Mu Chengfeng's worried face and secretly laughed. Even this person was worried, how could Mu Shi not be prepared.
"When the sky falls, naturally your grandfather and uncle will bear it, and the Mu family is a big family in the previous dynasty and has strong strength. It's just that I don't understand why an elite kid like you went to Tai'a City. β
Tai'a City is the royal capital.
Mu Chengfeng's face turned slightly red, and after thinking about it, I am afraid that Wantu would have known about the Jade Concubine, and he couldn't hide it.
"Every year, my Mu clan will send their descendants to the royal capital to worship, but it was not my turn to go, but I heard that Concubine Yu was very difficult in the palace, so I got up and left. Speaking of which, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to meet a mentor and friend like Brother Wan. β
Wan Tu smiled, it seems that Mu Chengfeng should have been fooled, this son has limited experience and a pure heart, and his cultivation is high, so it is inevitable that he will be calculated behind his back.
Of course, the Mu family's side can't be simple, but I don't know if it's my own family's nest or a spy from outside.
As for whether he is a mentor and a friend, it's hard to say, but as long as this fool doesn't stab him in the back and drags him back, then it doesn't hurt to recognize this friend.
"I'm just a butcher. It's just that some things can't be seen, so I want to intervene in it. Now he is in a dilemma, and he can only turn to Muhammad. β
Mu Chengfeng smiled and nodded, thinking that Brother Wan had entered the outer knowledge stage, and if he could help the Mu family, he would definitely be like a tiger.
The two talked a few more words idly, but the topic came to Wei Xiaoge.
"Brother Wan, what do you think of Miss Wei?"
Tens of thousands of people were slightly stunned.
"It's just a small village girl in the mountains, what else can she do?"
Mu Chengfeng looked confused, "She asked the two of us if we had a good impression of her, what did this mean?" β
Ten Thousand Tu suddenly realized at this moment, Wei Xiaoge was asking two people at that time, not him.
However, the little girl kept asking about him all the time, and did not ask about Mu Chengfeng. It must be Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, which is intended to be Pei Gong, and to use Mu Chengfeng to cover people's eyes.
He frowned, "It's nothing more than thinking that I'm dying, thinking that I'm not married yet, and I'm a nymphomaniac." β
Mu Chengfeng was a little unimpressed, but still nodded.
At that time, he was injured and poisoned and had no clothes to wear, and Miss Wei stared at him directly, which made people feel very embarrassed. However, his eyes were clear, and he was not like the few women who were interested in him in the Yancheng banquet.
It's probably because there are no elders to teach him, and he grew up in a mountain village, so he is a little wild, which is not a big deal.
This little girl is quite neat and very martial. As for why you want to ask if you have a good feeling, the situation was very critical at that time, maybe I hoped to make a few heroes before I died!
Mu Chengfeng has never said right and wrong, and it is too ugly to be a nymphomaniac.
He sighed and changed the subject: "Miss Wei's courage and concentration are quite good, and she started cultivating in her teens, it's a pity!" β
Ten thousand people Tu Youyou said: "If she can comprehend the light body exercises I sent, if we can meet again in the future, I may not know the future of giving her." β
