Cao Dahu is old after all, and he followed all the way to the fork in the neighboring village, not to mention the figure, even Xiao Hei didn't know where to run, so he didn't chase it, and simply returned to the Lin family's old house the same way.

"Girl, there's still a mouth." When Xu Rongsheng examined the corpse, he found that there were still Tartars who were not dead, but fainted from an arrow in the chest.

When Lin Mei heard that there was still a living mouth, she was so frightened that her heart jumped to her throat: "First collect if there are any other weapons on him, and then tie him with a rope first." Shanzi, take a closer look and see if there is any living mouth. After speaking, he held the sickle in his hand and stared nervously at the corpse on the ground, for fear that if there was still a living mouth, he would get up from the ground and sneak attack.

Shanzi and Xu Rongsheng carefully checked again, and made sure that everyone was dead, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mei counted the number of people, twenty-two, plus the one who escaped was exactly twenty-three, and I don't know if Daddy Lin can kill that person and come back safely.

Xu Rongsheng looked at Fang Laosan's corpse and said to Lin Mei, "What should I do with this corpse?" ”

These words reminded Lin Mei at that time, looking at Fang Laosan's tragic death, Lin Mei didn't know how to express her feelings at this time, and said to Xu Rongsheng: "Take his body aside, and notify Fang Laosan tomorrow to help him collect the body." ”

When Cao Dahu came back, Xu Rongsheng was busy carrying the corpses and stacking them.

Lin Mei was startled when she saw him come back alone, and then she was relieved when she heard him say that she had lost someone, but she couldn't help but worry.

Xu Rongsheng was afraid that Lin Mei would be anxious, so he comforted: "Don't worry, girl, the old man is good at archery, there won't be much of a problem, and Xiao Hei also followed." ”

In this way, everyone didn't sleep all night, and when they stayed up until almost dawn, they didn't see the figure of Daddy Lin, Lin Mei asked Xu Rongsheng to go to the yamen to report the case, but Cao Dahu felt that he didn't have any strength, and he lost the person, so he wanted to make up for it and go to the yamen to report the case for Xu Rongsheng.

Lin Mei was appointed, took the opportunity to go back to the house to catch her breath, and saw that the peach had fallen asleep in Xu Dangjia's arms, Xi'er couldn't stay up anymore, and kept yawning, so she asked Xu Dangjia to take care of the two girls to squint for a while.

The official arrived quickly, Ding Yu was at the forefront, and a pungent smell of burning made him frown, staring at the corpses piled up in front of the Lin family, it was hard to imagine how the Lin family resisted desperately last night.

Shanzi stayed in the tree, and when he saw Ding Zhutou coming with people from afar, he opened the courtyard door.

"I don't know if there are casualties in Miss Lin's family." Ding Zhukuai asked.

Lin Mei looked up at Cao Dahu, who came from behind, nodded, said hello, and replied: "Everything is fine at home, but my sisters were a little frightened, but unfortunately I still let the Tartar escape, my father chased him, and now I don't know what happened?" ”

Lin Mei thought about it again and said regretfully: "I don't know why, Fang Laosan was arrested by the Tartars, and when my father rushed out to save people, he was still a step late. ”

This is Lin Mei thinking about it again and again, and she can't say that Fang Laosan died under the noses of her own family, otherwise she will cause trouble, and she talked to Shanzi, Cao Dahu and Xu Rongsheng in advance.

So Ding Zhutou had already understood what had happened before he came, and he was not surprised.

"I heard that I even caught a live mouth."

Compared with Fang Laosan's death, Ding Zhutou is more concerned about this.

"Well, I was hit by two arrows in my body, and I didn't die thoroughly, I was afraid that people would freeze to death, so I tied them up and locked them in the kitchen. Come with me. After Lin Mei finished speaking, she opened the kitchen door with a tired body.

Ding Zhutou probed his nose, the person was still alive, Xu was not injured, so the person was not dead, but the person had not woken up yet, so he called the two officials to carry the person away.

The flatbed truck brought by the official couldn't hold so many corpses, and found a flatbed truck at Lin Mei's house, Xi'er woke up from her dream, hugged Xu Dangjia and cried, and scared the peaches on the side to wake up, seeing that the eldest sister was not around, she also cried for some reason.

The girl's cry came from the house, which made Ding Zhutou breathe a sigh of relief in his doubtful heart, and secretly said that this is the reaction that a normal person should have.

It's no wonder that Ding Zhutou is suspicious, ordinary people have never seen such a scene, the Lin family reacted too calmly, and they killed so many Tartars.

Ding Zhutou took the official to pull the corpse, and asked Lin Mei's family to send someone to follow to explain the situation, Lin Mei thought that the old house was no longer safe, so she simply went back to Baishui Town with Ding Zhutou and his party.

Lin Mei begged Ding Zhutou to send someone to Fang Laoer's house to find someone to collect the body, and asked the family to quickly pack up the package and go to Baishui Town together.

Before Lin Mei left, she made a mark on the door, and if Daddy Lin came back, he would know it.

……

Twenty-two corpses were placed on the snow at the entrance of the yamen, which could be regarded as an explanation to the people of the entire Baishui Town.

Sima Geqing, the county magistrate, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and took the prepared fold and asked the post envoy to send it to Taiyuan Mansion quickly.

Ding Zhutou's heart is not so relaxed, it has been interrogated for three days, the goods are like the mouth of the old clam and will not let go, not to mention that he has escaped one, Ding Zhutou threw the leather whip on the table, picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it in one go.

Ding Jiuzhou stepped forward and persuaded: "Uncle, if you don't forget it, anyway, the body of the Tartar is still at the door, and it can be regarded as giving an explanation to the people, and the court doesn't ask for the guilt." ”

Ding Zhutou glared at him and yelled at him: "You know a ball." ”

Xu is voice is hoarse, not powerful at all.

The other officials also followed suit.

Ding Zhutou jumped up angrily and pointed at their noses, and said hoarsely: "Think about it seriously, how many people are coming from the Tartars this time?" Why did you spare Taiyuan Mansion and go straight to Baishui Town? And where are the others now? Why didn't Taiyuan send troops to check? You don't have any doubts at all? ”

Ning Zhutou was very puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with our servants, isn't this all something that the boss should worry about?" ”

Ding Zhutou gritted his teeth and stared at him, "If the Tartars sneak attack again, what should you do?" ”

The alarm bell in the hearts of the officials rang out.

The last sneak attack, the Tartar goal is very clear, mainly to rob grain, the whole town's grain, robbed nearly half, but just like that, more than 100 people still died, if this is another time, or a few more times, it will really be a disaster in Baishui Town, and this kind of disaster may be more than 30,000 people in the town will be buried here forever.

Ning Zhutou thought of the scene of the corpse and the wilderness, and couldn't help but shudder, and said with luck: "It's cold, the Tartar snatched eighty percent of the grain and ran back to the nest." ”

Ding Zhutou's squinted eyes suddenly poured out two blade-like cold rays, and sneered at Ning Zhutou: "Don't think that the Tartars are as stupid as you, don't forget the Huangxi Town twenty-five years ago, and the Tartars who escaped have no news now?" ”

Thinking of the twenty-five years when the whole town was slaughtered by the Tartars overnight, and there was no Huangxi Town left, the officials present all shut up.

"Uncle, what should we do? If you don't let the county magistrate go to the fold and ask for reinforcements. Ding Jiuzhou had heard a lot about Huangxi Town before, and couldn't help but shudder, and asked Ding Zhutou.

Ding Zhutou sighed and said: "The excerpt that sent troops to reinforce reported to Taiyuan Mansion as early as ten days ago, but there was no response for a long time, but I have been most distracted recently, and I always feel that something big will happen." ”

You must know that Ding Zhutou's intuition has never been wrong, which is something that everyone who follows him in the government knows about it.

Ning Zhutou's eyes flickered, and he suddenly covered his stomach and said that he was going to have diarrhea, but he didn't even say goodbye, and ran out of the prison.

Ding Jiuzhou whispered to his back: "A bastard who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

One of the officials said to Ding Zhutou: "Head, you say, what can our brothers do?" ”

Ding Zhutou's sharp eyes stared at the tartar hanging on the wall, gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what method you use, you must pry his mouth open for me, don't kill people." ”
