It is said that it is a distant relative, but in fact it is not very far, because ancient times are different from modern times, and now airplanes, high-speed rail. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info intercity buses, what you want, but these ancient times had nothing, the only slightly faster means of transportation may be to ride a horse and take a boat.

I hurried to the post station with this guy, rented a good horse, and rushed to his relative's house, I hope the tower will still be well, and can wait for me to pass, and when we meet, we will rush to the capital immediately. Be sure to kill Wendao Lingyun before he becomes a Jinyi guard.

On the way, we both rode fast, but still ran for five or six hours, and it was not until the evening that we arrived at the house of his so-called distant relative, and to be honest, the road was really not close.

When I arrived at this small village, I couldn't help but sigh that this is really a small village, as remote as it is, as backward as it is.

I looked at the mechanical watch on my wrist, and it was only past nine o'clock in the evening, and there was not a single light in the whole village. When I rode into the village on a tall horse, this familiar leader led me to a restaurant.

In this small village, the only brick house is this small restaurant, and the rest of the dozens of families are thatched houses, which can be said to be very remote.

I asked: Is that seven-foot-tall man eating the overlord meal here?

The leader nodded and said, "Yes, that's what my relative said when he came to the door."

Dismounted, I knocked on the door. But when no one answered, I knocked hard, and after a few minutes, a candle came out of it, and there was a sentence: Who? It's closed!

I shouted: There is big business!

Not much else, just this one.

The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, that's the truth, if in the middle of the night, I said to inquire about someone, then the shop owner will definitely not bother me, but I said that there is a big business, then he will be happy. It must be a to open the door.

Sure enough, after three or four minutes, a slightly hurried footstep came from inside. When the door panel was removed, I was greeted by a middle-aged man with a goat's beard and a white lantern in his hand.

He held up the lantern, shone it on my face, and asked, "Do you have a big business?"

I didn't bother to talk nonsense, so I took out five taels of silver from my pocket and threw it to him. At this throw of silver, he smiled directly and said: Why are you here so late? Come on, come on, please, take a sip of hot tea first.

I said, "No, I'm just asking you about something, during this time, there was a person who ate overlord meals at your place, where is he now?"

The shopkeeper reached out and stroked his right beard and said, "It's dead."

"What?" My eyes widened, my face full of disbelief, how long did it take for this special mother to die?

I grabbed the shopkeeper by the neck and yelled, "What the hell is going on?"

The shopkeeper was suddenly pulled over by me, and the whole person was stupid, and at this moment he trembled and said: Ouch, Shaoxia is angry, Shaoxia is angry, what do you have to do with that guy?

"Tell me what's going on!!" I'm already angry to the limit, and I can't help but want to kill at the moment.

The shopkeeper swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and hurriedly said: It's like this, it's like this, that guy, seven feet tall, but he can't take out a copper plate, after I eat and drink for nothing, I say that I will pay it back after I have money, and I owe it for the time being.

I didn't say anything, didn't bother the boss, and let him continue.

He said again: Shaoxia, you can also see it, I have a small business, how can I get credit, this is definitely not good, I asked him for money, but he didn't give it, so he said no, I called the villagers to tie up that guy and sent him to the government, and guess what?

I really want to slap this shopkeeper to death, and tell me how many times I can tell me in one sentence, it's really selling.

"Speak quickly!" I yelled.

The shopkeeper said: Eh, after that guy was twisted and sent to the government, he kept making a big fuss in the court, and he had to pull out the waist knife of the fast catcher, trying to kill the county lords, and finally he was arrested and killed.

I was stunned, I couldn't understand how the tower could have died for no reason?

But now I am no longer the stupid Liu Mingbu I was back then, I told myself that the more critical the moment, the more I must be calm, and I must not mess with myself.

I myself carried a rich silver ticket on my body, and the iron tower also carried a dozen catties of gold, the gold ingot was enough for him to eat and drink, and he couldn't use it up after squandering half his life, so he couldn't eat the overlord meal, right?

And the most important thing is that the tower is not stupid enough to make a fuss in court, right?

Thinking of this, I thought to myself that it would be better to confirm, and immediately asked him: Where is the body of the seven-foot-tall man buried? Take me to see it.

The shopkeeper said: Ouch, I threw it into the mass grave in the back mountain, that place is very evil, and no one dares to go.

I walked directly out of the shop, walked to my horse, took out twenty taels of silver from the package hanging on the horse, and threw two heavy ones directly at him, and then just two words: lead the way!

The shopkeeper's eyes were straight, and at this moment he was holding the two silvers, stuffing them into his mouth and biting them hard, then covering his mouth and groaning.

The people who led the way next to me had straight eyes, and I said, "You are indispensable, come with me."

Immediately, the shopkeeper packed his bags, pulled a mule out of the backyard, and followed us at a very slow pace.

I was so impatient that I looked back at the shopkeeper who was riding on the little mule, and saw that he was carrying a lantern and couldn't kick a fart with three feet, and I was angry.

"Can you hurry up?" I was a little displeased.

The shopkeeper shyly pleaded his stomach and said with a smile: Shaoxia, I am riding a little mule, he can't run fast, you are a well-bred horse in the post station, how can my little mule compare, don't worry, the mass grave in the back mountain is not far from here, and it can arrive in two hours.

I'll go, two hours? Low sub-flutter stroke.

Isn't that just four hours?

When I arrived, it was twelve o'clock at midnight, and I went to the mass grave at twelve o'clock at midnight, what kind of rhythm is this? I'm not afraid of the so-called bull ghosts and snake gods, but it's been too long, and I can't wait.

I said, "Throw away your mule and come and ride my horse!"

He was unwilling, so I threw him another twenty taels, and then he was finally willing to get off the mule, and got on my tall horse, and I quickly whipped my horse and ran straight to the back mountain.

The mountain here is not steep, and on the way, the shopkeeper told me that after the government executes the death penalty, if there is no family to collect the body, they are thrown directly into the mass grave, where there are ghost fires all year round, and some wild dogs often come here to eat the corpses at night. There are also some people who will get lost inexplicably when they pass by mass graves......

I don't know what this guy meant by saying this to me, but I mumbled and didn't say anything else.

By the time we arrived at the mass grave, I smelled a fishy smell from a distance away that I had smelled before, the smell of rotting corpses.

I couldn't help but cover my nose, dismounted, and looked at the barren mounds in the distance, most of which had wooden signs inserted on them, but there were countless white bones, which were thrown on top of the mounds.

I asked: Where did all these bones come from?

The shopkeeper whispered in my ear: Oh, what about the war, you don't know, as soon as this officer and soldier comes, it will be a big purge, and the whole family of the magistrate will basically not be able to escape.

I wanted to ask something, but the shopkeeper was silent, I carried a lantern, shining in all directions, he stood beside me, stretched out his finger to the corpse in the distance that had not completely decomposed, and said: Look at those, when the officers and soldiers came a few months ago, all those people whose backgrounds are unclear and whose origins are not clean were slaughtered here.

I wondered: This era is so careless about human life? By the way, where's that seven-foot-tall guy?

As I spoke, I noticed the tattoo on his arm, which should be called a tattoo in this era, which is technically a tattoo of a scorpion, which is very common, but looks eerie.

Seeing me staring at the scorpion tattoo on his arm, he hurriedly rolled down his sleeves and said to me with a smile: Hehe, young man, you don't know how miserable it was at that time.

I didn't say anything, he continued: At that time, the old Wang family was directly exterminated because of their involvement with the government, and the whole family, men, women, and children were all taken here, beheaded!

The shopkeeper chattered endlessly, and I asked him: Don't talk about those useless ones, tell me, where is the body of that seven-foot-tall guy?
