Di Guangyuan gritted his teeth, his face pale.

On the one hand, the captured captives died a clean death in the blink of an eye, leaving him with no shame; On the other hand, he felt a chill that frightened him.

In the hall of the county government, the lights are bright.

More than 20 corpses were placed side by side on the ground, and six of them were the same six dead soldiers who had been captured earlier......

These people are bold and unspeakable, and they are unusually ruthless.

They can kill themselves without hesitation, and to a certain extent, it also shows how powerful the people behind them are.

Yang Shouwen and Lu Chengzhi were in the lobby, inspecting the corpses one by one.

Suddenly, Lu Chengzhi stopped, stood in front of one of the corpses and observed for a while, then suddenly turned back and came to the other corpse.

"Here comes the knife."

With his shout, Yang Chou'er immediately presented the sheep's horn dagger to him.

Lu Chengzhi squatted down and separated the corpse's clothes with a sheep's horn dagger, and saw a tattoo on the corpse's shoulder.

"Ah Lang, look."

Lu Chengzhi raised his head and said to Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen immediately took a piece of butter wax from Fei Fugui's hand and stepped forward to take a closer look.

The tattoo was a flower, blood-red, with five powerful curved petals, surrounded by a dense bunch of yellow stamens, bound in a tight receptacle. The flowers were large, alive, covering the corpse's shoulders.

"What kind of flower is this?"

The shape of the flower was very strange, and Di Guangyuan had never seen it before.

Even Lu Chengzhi, including Lu Chengzhi, has never seen this kind of flower. So much so that he and Di Guang looked at each other from afar.

"Kapok!"

"Huh?"

Yang Shouwen stood up. handed the candle to Fei Fugui.

"Check on the others. See if there are any such tattoos. ”

Tattoo culture has a long history, but in the Central Plains, it is rare. Generally speaking, the tattooed group is mostly the kind of barbarian race that is in the middle of nowhere. There are often records in history books, saying that it is the Shanyue barbarians in the south, who are covered with hair and tattoos, and describe them as powerful ghosts.

Yang Shouwen said: "This is born in the south. But the origin is ominous, and it is said to be derived from Tianzhu.

I remember that there seems to be a record in ancient books, saying that in the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, once paid tribute to the Han court a kapok plant. This kind of talk is not tolerant of severe cold, so it is rare in the north. I've also seen this kind of flower and tree in a book. ”

Before Yang Shouwen's words fell, Fei Fugui and Yang Chou'er shouted: "Ah Lang, more than half of the people have this kind of tattoo. ”

Kapok, blood-colored kapok. And what is the significance?

Yang Shouwen can now be sure that this blood-colored kapok. I'm afraid it also represents the black hand behind these dead soldiers.

He looked at Lu Chengzhi and Di Guangyuan, and the two looked at each other.

At this moment, Yao Sanlang, who was beside him, suddenly said: "County Zun, Zhengshi Lang...... The villain seems to have seen this kind of tattoo. ”

"What?"

When Di Guangyuan heard this, he immediately became excited, and grabbed Yao Sanlang's arm.

"Have you ever seen this kind of tattoo? Where have you seen it? ”

His excited appearance really frightened Yao Sanlang, so much so that Yao Sanlang opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Yang Shouwen smiled, stepped forward and said, "County Zun, calm down!" If you do this, Saburo will be afraid. ”

"Whew!"

Di Guangyuan also realized the gaffe, let go of his hand and let out a long breath to calm himself down.

As the commander of Cheung Chau County, he is such a terrifying force under his rule. Now that Yang Shouwen is here, he can help him. But in the future, when Yang Shouwen leaves, what should he do? Di Guangyuan knew very well that things were very complicated.

"San Lang, don't be in a hurry, say slowly, where have you seen this kind of tattoo?"

Yao Saburo took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of this kind of tattoo, the villain has seen it in Puhui Temple. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't misunderstand, the villain is not talking about those monks, but ...... For a long time, there has been a custom in Puhui Temple, that is, on the third day of the first month of each month, monks will be summoned to bathe in the temple. Over time, even the people in Cheung Chau City knew about it, and even went to participate in this kind of ceremony. Among them, there are no merchants in the fish market, and the villain has seen it there. ”

According to legend, the custom of this bathhouse originally started from the Buddhist temple, and Yang Shouwen did not find it strange.

"San Lang, you make it clear."

Yao Saburo nodded, thought for a moment, organized the language, and said, "I have seen some people with this kind of tattoo on their bodies in the Buddha Mu Day in Puhui Temple. The villain was still strange at the time, and asked those people what kind of flowers this thorn was.

They say, it's kapok! ”

The villain still remembers that those people were from Annam.

But where exactly is Annam? The villain is not very clear...... However, they say that in their hometown, there are many such flowers. The reason why I tattooed kapok on my body was to miss my hometown. So the villain didn't ask any more. ”

Annan, Annan again!

Yang Shouwen closed his eyes and was silent in thought.

Su Wei made his fortune in Annam, and his wife was from Annam.

Previously, Mingxiu asked him to inquire about a person named Qu Lan, and it was later confirmed by Di Guangyuan that he was the protector of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate.

Everything seems to point to the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.

Could it be that all this was secretly instructed by the Protectorate of Annam? Or is it just a coincidence, a misunderstanding?

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen opened his eyes and looked at Lu Chengzhi.

Solvay!

Turning around, it seemed to be back to Solvay. Yang Shouwen couldn't laugh or cry, exchanged opinions with Lu Chengzhi with his eyes, and then turned to look at Di Guangyuan.

"County Zun, it seems that this matter can't be bypassed by Changzhou Suwei."

"Solvay?" Di Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What does this matter have to do with Su Wei?" ”

However, as soon as he spoke, he reacted immediately.

Among the wealthy families in Suzhou, the one most closely related to Annan is the Su family. And the person in charge of Su's liaison with Annan is Su Wei; Su Wei lives in Cheung Chau again, and his wife seems to be from Annam. In addition, Shenhui is also from Annan!

Don't say it's all a coincidence.

If this is all a coincidence, then everything in the world can probably be explained by the word coincidence.

Di Guangyuan's reaction was not fast, but after all, he had followed Di Renjie for many years. He's not stupid, just a little pedantic. So when Yang Shouwen said the name of 'Su Wei', Di Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately figured out the key.

Solvay, Solvay, Solvay......

Di Guangyuan returned to the table and sat down slowly.

He bit his lip and remained silent.

Yang Shouwen didn't urge, because he knew that Di Guangyuan was thinking about the consequences of tearing his face with the Su family at this time.

After arresting Su Wei, how could the Su family give up?

Don't catch Suvay...... I'm afraid that all this will become an unsolvable mystery, and it will even affect the treasure of Huangtai. (To be continued.) )
