"Little Lizi, have you stepped on someone's grave?" Fei Lingwei beside him laughed jokingly.

"Can't you see the grave?" Duan Fei stepped forward with a calm face, slowly squatting down and staring at the gravel on the ground.

"How can you put a cemetery so close to home? And this place is right at the entrance of the village, do you have a grave at the door?"

"Zuo Weiling, it's not a cemetery, where are so many bones?, is it ......" The face of the man who spoke suddenly changed.

"They were killed!" Lu Sheng's deep voice sounded, "People who live in the ocean have the custom of burial at sea. I looked up the custom of the fishermen, who were tied to rafts when they died, and then sent into the sea at low tide.

Whether they were fishermen or pirates, it was impossible to bury the body. No wonder the whole island is so quiet, it seems that it is all here. ”

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Duan Fei's face suddenly became gloomy, "Dig!"

The gravel was excavated very quickly, and after a while, a large pit of about ten zhang was cleared. At the bottom of the pit, there were densely packed corpses that were close to white ossification. Many of them are children.

"Who is it?" Duan Fei looked at the tragic scene in front of him, his cheeks twitching violently.

These are not the grave bags of twenty years ago that you saw in the fisherman station, and the white bones in front of you are all fresh.

Whether they are pirates Duan Fei doesn't dare to guarantee, but even if they are, how innocent are those children? Some of the children look like they are not yet three years old.

"Knock knock knock-" The war drums in the distance sounded again, and the Qiantang Sailor couldn't wait for the results of Fei Lingwei's reconnaissance, so he sent out the war drums to urge.

"You go back and report to them, tell them not to come up, and wait until we have finished our investigation. Duan Fei ordered a Fei Lingwei to slowly straighten up after he returned.

"The third, the fifth, the seventh, and the twelfth, search in a fan-shaped carpet!"

"Yes!"

The five squads fanned out and searched for the interior of Yanluo Island. Soon, Fei Lingwei disappeared into the continuous houses like a stone submerged in the sea.

"Report to the captain, I didn't find it!"

"Report to the Captain!

For about half an hour, Fei Lingwei searched all the residential areas. No living mouth was found, and no abnormalities were found, and the entire Yanluo Island was completely turned into a ghost domain.

After confirming the safety, Lu Sheng followed Duan Fei into the first resident's home.

There are fishing nets, pots and pans and other essential daily necessities at home. On the table, there is still a meal that has long been blackened.

The smell of corruption filled the room. Lu Sheng gently stretched out his hand and brushed the table to wipe off the thick layer of ash on the table.

"They're from the fishermen!" Lu Sheng sighed softly.

"Brother Lu is sure so soon?" Duan Fei's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that Lu Sheng's conclusion was too arbitrary.

"You look at the furnishings at home, pots and pans are all available, and there are three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, two large and one small, which shows that this family is a family of three.

In addition to the necessary living necessities at home, there are also a few fishing nets hanging on the wall. This shows that the family's livelihood depends on fishing nets, and they fish for a living. Most importantly, there are two pairs of iron shoes in the corner. ”

"Iron shoes?" Duan Fei gently came to the side of the iron shoes and knocked on the battle knife, "It's iron shoes, I really didn't pay attention." But what's so strange about the iron shoes? Are they peculiar to the fishermen?"

"Do normal people wear iron shoes, especially people who live at sea?"

Duan Fei nodded silently, "Yes, normal people don't wear iron shoes, and only the fishermen can." It seems that the case of extermination 20 years ago is still strange. My lord, do you say that Princess Changling really wiped out the Fisherman Clan back then, or did Princess Changling just plan to use the Fisherman's ability to plot something?"

"Didn't you see the corpse in the grave bag too?" Lu Sheng slowly put his hands behind his back and sighed deeply, "The bones in the grave bag, there are men and women, old and young, if it is just a graft, I don't believe that anyone will do it so well."

And although the ability of the fisherman clan is bizarre, it is not a miracle that changes the world after all. I believe that the fishermen discovered the paradise of Yanluo Island a long time ago.

Some people came to live on Yanluo Island, and some people continued to live on Chongming Island. Twenty years ago, the fishermen of Chongming Island were slaughtered by Princess Changling, and now, the fishermen of Yanluo Island have not been spared. This group of robbers should really be broken into pieces!"

"Wait, didn't we infer that the fishermen had robbed the official silver......? Looks like someone else?"

"If the fishermen are not exterminated, then the fishermen are the most suspicious. And now that the fishermen have been killed, there must be someone else among the robbers. ”

"That's right, it's to kill the mouth. Duan Fei slowly came to the door, and on the edge of the deep pit in the distance, a group of Fei Lingwei were cleaning up the bones, and Fei Lingwei, who was searching in the housing area, also came back one after another.

"Zuo Weiling, judging from the number of houses, there should be eight hundred residents on the island. They were all family-based, and every household had a fishing net, but no boat was found. And the strange thing is that every family has two pairs of iron shoes, weighing about ten catties. ”

"My lord, every family has food on the table, and it is all the same. It can be concluded that they were at mealtime when they were killed. ”

"My lord, the corpses have been cleaned up!" In the distance, a Fei Lingwei rushed to the scene, "There are seven hundred and twenty-five corpses, there are no injuries on the bones, and the cause of death cannot be determined." After all, it's all rotten and only bones left......"

"Poison!" Lu Sheng said in a decisive manner.

"Poisoning? Why are you so sure?"

"Because it happened to be a meal, every family was eating. And I'm guessing they're unprepared for the attackers. If they were fishermen, then if someone did kill the island, they could have escaped into the sea and could not have been killed.

Every household has the same style of food, which means that the meals are not made by them but brought by someone. They happily accepted the meals, and then the family sat down at the table to eat.

They had no idea that this meal would be the last meal they would eat. ”

"It's so ruthless!" Duan Fei took a breath of cold air.

Lu Sheng came to the bones that were cleaned up, and the densely arranged bones gave Lu Sheng a shock that he had never had. Even Lu Sheng could see the haunted souls that were unwilling to leave from these ossified corpses.

"Extrapolating from the degree of decay, the time of death should not have been more than three months. Duan Fei, you have people collect the meals from every household. ”

"You're going to take a drug test?"

"It's been three months, and the toxicity has long since deteriorated. Don't ask me what I'm going to do, just let people do it. ”

Duan Fei gave the order, and a hundred Fei Ling Wei immediately dispersed and rushed into each house again.

Several figures appeared in the distance, and Shi Wei and others, who had not seen Fei Lingwei's report for a long time, also arrived under the escort of the pro-guard army. When they saw the dense bones in front of them, their movements froze in place synchronously.

"This ...... What the hell is going on, what about pirates, these ......," Shi Dawei strode over to Lu Sheng and asked reluctantly.

"Without pirates, there would be no living people left on the entire Yanluo Island. ”

"Outrageous...... Outrageous!" He Qiaosheng in the distance suddenly scolded, "There are so many people, and there are children...... And women...... Who is it...... Who did it......"

He Qiaosheng was very observant, and after seeing the bones, he immediately analyzed that these corpses were telling a brutal massacre.

"Lu Sheng, what the hell is going on?" He Qiaosheng came to Lu Sheng angrily and shouted.

"My lord, the lower official has just come up. ”

"The officer knows that you just came up, but the officer also knows that you must have made a judgment. I don't believe you haven't found any clues, and I don't believe you haven't reached any conclusions. ”

"These people are all indigenous to the island, and they died about three months ago. Died of poisoning, the killer poisoned the food they were given. And they trust the person who poisoned them, so they don't suspect it. ”

"Aborigines" He Qiaosheng frowned slightly, "What is the reason for the poisoning?"

"The subordinate official didn't know, and the subordinate couldn't get more information from the appearance. ”

"Could they be pirates, and the robbers you deduced earlier?" He Qiaosheng asked solemnly.

"Impossible!" Lu Sheng said with unusually certainty, "My lord, the pirates in your mouth make a living by robbing merchant ships. But we didn't find a decent weapon on Yanluo Island. Even if it's a knife, it's a kitchen knife from an ordinary person's house. ”

"Not a pirate...... If they were just fishermen, how could they make the seven masters of the Great Interior sink into the sand......

"My lord, Yanluo Island has existed for an infinite number of years, and even if there is a fog barrier, there will always be people who stumble into it by mistake. And then it thrived.

The island painted by Agent Ouchi is not this island at all! both the layout and the shape are far from Yanluo Island.

But if it weren't for Yanluo Island, this road map and coordinate map would be the real Yanluo Island. My lord, is this really from the same person?"

"I won't talk nonsense about this yet, but you're right. General Shi had already discovered that Yanluo Island was different from the map shown. Maybe the coordinates and route drawn by Agent Ouchi are wrong.

Lu Sheng, since these people are not pirates, and in my Dayu waters, they are naturally my Dayu Dynasty people. Now that they have been slaughtered, we, as court officials, have to seek justice for them. This official orders you to investigate this matter thoroughly, catch the murderer, and bring him to justice. ”

"My lord, this mastermind behind this is very unusual. Lu Sheng said with some embarrassment.

"Even if it is not ordinary, you can't get away with it, this official knows that this case is not small, and it is a little difficult for you, but you are now a Qincha with the Order of the Double Dragon. Wherever His Majesty goes, the civil and military forces in all places must cooperate. ”

"My lord, the difficulty of the lower officials is not to find out the facts of the case, but that the people behind the scenes are afraid that they will not be able to move. ”

"That's even more bastard, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, who else can't move?" He Qiaosheng frowned and shouted, and his senses for Lu Sheng fell instantly. I thought Lu Sheng was an impassioned person who did not flatter the powerful, but now I look at it......

"Lord He, is the prince really guilty of the same crime as the common people? So why haven't the five hundred souls of the fishermen on Chongming Island been wronged twenty years ago until now?"

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's momentum changed, and he straightened up and stared straight at He Qiaosheng.

Because Lu Sheng clearly remembered that in the list of archives and records, the person who came to Shanghai Mansion to read the emperor's will twenty years ago was He Qiaosheng in front of him.
