Chapter 123: Cremation and Covering the Well, Killing, Killing, Killing

Strictly speaking, there is one more person who is qualified to have a standard camp on the ground in Datong, that is, the eunuch guarding Datong Town, but the scale of his personal guards is small, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have seen hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers, and I am afraid that the only people who can use these forces are the chief soldier and the governor.

Except for the four who died outside, the luggage and clothes of the two people in the house were piled up on the side, Zhu Da stepped forward and carefully checked it, and said in a muffled voice while moving: "According to Master Yuan's teaching, the governor standard battalion is easy not to move except for the big battle, because this elite is not around, he will command the arrogant soldiers of Datong, and there is no way to deal with sudden and important events, and the eunuchs in the town do not dare to be so unscrupulous, he is too strictly targeted by the civilian officials, not to mention that he does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is too conspicuous to say that all in and out." ”

There weren't many things that came out, bloody pieces of silver and copper coins, smashed metal objects, and women's jewelry that was also bloody.

"There should be some caution, but it is still too unscrupulous, but it is also normal, as long as they are not caught, as long as there is no important evidence, no one is afraid of oral lawsuits, if they are not smart enough to lie, then these people can only be the general soldiers of Datong." Zhu Da was babbling.

Zhou Qingyun, who had always been calm, was very anxious at this time, interrupted Zhu Da in a hurry, and urged: "What are you talking about, let's quickly walk around the two villages and see if there are any alive?" ”

"Do you think there will be one alive?"

"What if!"

For Zhou Qingyun's anxiety, Zhu Dan can think of part of the reason, and really guess the possible instigator behind it, but it makes people helpless and powerless, what is the status of the general army of Datong, Yuan Biao and Qin Xiucai have explained in detail, this is the top position of the world's generals, whether it is status or strength.

Commanding 100,000 troops, hanging the number of the former general in the west, garrisoning the left wing, resisting the Mongolian army in the north, sitting in this position, are often the martial arts generals of the Ming Dynasty, the family history can be traced back to the time of the founding of the country and Jingjing, in addition to the official title, there are generally titles, noble status, strong strength, such a figure is the real master in the Datong military town, whether it is the first-class pro-vassal king in Datong City, and the local governor, or the town guard eunuch on behalf of the imperial power, are only nominally able to compete with the general army, It is the general soldier who really holds the real power.

Although I don't know why such a character did such a frenzied act, but how can such a character take revenge, and two people face an army of 100,000?

Even if the army of 100,000 is an imaginary number, and the chief soldier is guarded by his own soldiers, what should two people do? This is not a country thief, nor is it an outlaw thief, these people are all elite martial artists who have experienced swords and swords, what is the experience of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun......

I know the enemy, but I can't think of how to take revenge, and when I know the enemy, I can't do anything, how can I not be anxious.

Zhu Da didn't argue anything, just sighed and stood up, took a torch with Zhou Qingyun, and went out with weapons.

People are very adaptable, when they first entered the village, they felt the strong smell of blood, which is not so pungent now, but it is still very uncomfortable, Zhou Qingyun originally wanted to go back and have a look first, but was dragged by Zhu Da towards the village, because the smell was wafting from there.

"This ...... These beasts killed with a thousand knives, I ...... I ......"

The direction from which the smell wafted was in the middle of the village, there was a common stone mill there, which was a small square in the village, when they saw clearly through the light of the torches, Zhou Qingyun's angry voice had changed tone, and the torches in Zhu Da's hands were also trembling, they had seen blood, they had seen dead people, but they had never seen such a scene.

Dozens of corpses are piled up in this open space, although the flesh and blood are blurred, and the description is terrifying, but everyone Zhu Da is familiar with it, everyone can call out their names, they are all old people and children in the village, although some of them are narrow-minded and cold to the Zhu family's wealth, some people have nothing to do, they like to take advantage of the Zhu family, some people are passive and conservative, and they never dare to do anything with the Zhu family, not to mention those bear children who are spoiled and run around and destroy them, usually Zhu Da has no good impression of them, But today they were all dead, and Judah trembled and stepped forward, and approached the light with a torch to see.

"This firewood and grass?" Looking closer, I found more details, there were scattered hay piles on the corpses, and coal and firewood were spread under the corpses.

"Some people die early, some people die late." Zhou Qingyun also came to his conclusion, after all these years of experience, he has some experience in the inquest of corpses.

This conclusion was expected by the two of them, the Mongols came to write a batch of people who had no time to hide, and the officials and soldiers came to kill a group of people who hid and were tricked out.

It's not surprising that the corpses are angry, but what is the matter with these lumps of coal and firewood? The Mongolian cavalry and the cavalry of the official army only washed and plundered the villages, and left when they were done, did they still care about the incineration of the corpses?

In this era, although it is important to put the ashes in the ground, if it is not possible for the time being, the corpses will be incinerated, and the people who go far away are because they return with the ashes, and most of the incineration on the spot is to prevent the outbreak of epidemics.

In the hot summer, the corpses are easy to decay, and after the germs penetrate deep into the groundwater and soil, they will be absorbed by later generations to get sick, and the plague spreads, and countless people die, in order to avoid this, they are often incinerated in time, and the local squires and monasteries will do such things, but why would the officials and soldiers do this? And these officers and soldiers are still murderers?

Zhu Da couldn't figure out the ins and outs, he just felt ridiculous, Zhou Qingyun was still searching carefully with a torch, Zhu Da knew what he was looking for, but said in a muffled voice: "Uncle Xiang and my father and mother will only be in the new village, and they can't be found here." ”

Zhu Da's parents and Xiang Bo attached great importance to the small business done by the river, and they would rush over before dawn every day to be busy, and many times they would live there directly, calculating the time when the Mongolian horse team and the official cavalry came, it was unlikely to be here.

Hearing Zhu Da say this, Zhou Qingyun was about to throw the torch on it, he really couldn't bear to see the villagers like this, and he was at ease with the cremation earlier.

"It's not time to set fire yet, God knows how long the Tartars and the officers and soldiers have been gone, so don't attract anything that shouldn't come, let's take a walk around the village first" Zhu Da calmly stopped him.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun went to every house in the village with torches, and the more they looked at it, the more angry they became.

There are many bloodstains in each family, but the bloodstains have dried up, many families have no bloodstains, but their corpses are placed in the open space, the Mongols killed those who had no time to hide, the officials and soldiers killed those who hid, and there may be severe torture among them, forcing them to ask about the situation of each cellar.

There was also a strange place, that is, the well was sealed, and the mouth of the well was tightly covered with several door panels, and it was pressed with a millstone, and they cared so much for the water that it was as unreasonable for them to incinerate the corpses.

There are no traces of blood in the Zhu family and Xiang Bo's house, only the traces of being carefully examined, the furniture has been moved out and chopped, to check if there is no mezzanine inside, it is normal to do this, the Zhu family and Xiang Bo's family are the best houses in the village at a glance, obviously newly renovated, naturally they will be carefully searched, according to Yuan Biao and the salt stack guards, it is old enough that bandits will loot the rich will be this way.

There was indeed money in these two houses, but it was not put where they thought it was, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun went directly into the cellar, the cellars of the two families are much more elaborate than those of other families, it is a well-equipped basement, although the elders of the two families feel very unlucky, saying that it seems to be a yin house.

Under a few green bricks on the ground, dig up a layer of soil and you will see that there are still green bricks, and then remove it and you will see that there is a sealed jar underneath, and there are silver ingots of good color placed in the pipe, and the two families add up to more than 500 taels in total.

"There is another place on the other side of the new village, and it should not have been taken away." When doing these things, the mood of the two people was even worse, when the Zhu family's parents and Xiang Bo buried the silver, they all shouted to the two of them to watch, that is to make real money in business, everyone knows that a good day is coming, everyone is excited, and said with a smile that this money will buy a property for two people, so that they can start a family.

Thinking about these things right in front of me, but can you still see the sound and smile at that time, both of them know the result, and now the last trace of luck in their hearts is just a reason for themselves.

The night was getting darker and darker, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were not in a hurry to rest, but raised their torches and walked towards the new village by the river, and when they came out of Baibao Village, they noticed something in the darkness, and the horses tied to the trees were constantly neighing and screaming.

If people who haven't seen it will make a fuss, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun scolded a few words, the knife was unsheathed, the arrow was on the string, and they walked towards the place where the horse was tethered, and saw someone coming with a torch, the horse was quiet, and those shadowy things also dodged away.

"The bloody gas is so heavy, even wolves have been recruited!"

The beasts in the mountains will avoid the places where the crowds live, but the excessive blood gas makes them careless, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have no fear, and they are all scared away when they kill one with an arrow.

After riding horses to the new village by the river, the last bit of luck for Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun finally disappeared, and they saw the expected desperate scene.

The death of the Zhu family's parents is normal, just as tragic as the death of other villagers, Xiang Bo has a knife in his hand, and there are several fatal wounds on his body, it looks like he should have been killed.

The disposal of corpses and the abnormal arrangements in this riverside new village are the same as those in White Castle Village, Zhu Da wants to calm himself, but he can't suppress the fire in his chest at all.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"

The howl was followed by a howl, and the sound came far away in the quiet night, and the wolf that ran back followed with a long howl......
