Fu Chun's 1,000 guards followed the ape and marched northwest. Huoran? Wen? ｍ

On the road, the plum pot made a wild cat call from time to time.

When he was more than a thousand steps away from a village, two long and two short wildcat meows came from the shadow of a low tree.

Fu Chun stretched out a stopping movement into the air, and the team paused.

Li Guozi shouted to the shadow of the tree: "Third child, is it you?" ”

A dark shadow came out from behind the dwarf tree, it was Zhang Laosan.

Li Guozi took two steps forward, and slammed his fist on Zhang Laosan's shoulder, with a sincere expression, "I'm scared to death of the pot, San, are you okay?" ”

The cold wind blew Zhang Laosan's messy hair, Zhang Laosan shook his head, looking at the long line, all of them were full of eyes and majestic, and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Li Guozi patted his head: "Look at me, let's get down to business first, come on, come and see Your Highness!" ”

Zhang Laosan tightened his whole body and cheered up.

After the ceremony.

Fu Chun, who was standing in the center of the guards, put his left hand on the Ming Yi sword on his waist, and his right hand swept back the black drape behind him, his aura was lofty, cold and majestic: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhang Laosan hurriedly said: "There is an adult as a cover, nine adults steal, and retreat, the defense is tight, the deployment is appropriate, I don't dare to follow too close, when I go to the front", pointing to a dark shadow on the right side of the road, "These people are nowhere to be seen." ”

There is a slight light in the darkness, looking north, the field is empty, the edge is obliterated in the gray shadow, although it is not very real, you can still see the shadow of the black lacquer tree on the right side of the road, the square garden is a few hundred steps, and then look to the north, it is a village connected by farmers.

Fu Chun said: "What village is ahead?" ”

The ape stood up and saluted, "Kangding Village!" ”

King Rui raised an eyebrow.

The scarlet said: "I once begged along the street for a year, and then joined the army, and I came here." ”

King Rui nodded, "Lead the way to Kangding Village." ”

The road to Kangding Village is very spacious, and when he walked to the side of the forest, Zhang Laosanguan Li Guozi and the scarlet communicated with King Rui calmly, and his heart was a little wider, so he had the courage to stand up and salute Fu Chun: "Your Highness, the thief is not seen here." ”

Fu Chun stretched out his hand into the air, and the rear team stopped.

It is 700 steps from the village of Kangding, and on the right is a mass grave mixed with trees and thorns.

Entering the woods, it is eerie and terrifying, there are ghostly fires coming out of the mass graves from time to time, the sound of birds chirping contentedly in the air, the hay is ankle-high, sometimes a joke stumbles on the feet of passers-by, and the guards have their hair standing on end, their mouths chanting Buddha, stretching out their hands to make a gesture, and their expressions are reverent. The thousand people brought by Fu Chun were vigilant all around, and they didn't dare to rush forward for a while.

Fu Chun looked at the sky, and in less than half an hour, the sky would be bright, and it would not be worse than this hour and a half, so he ordered to rest in place.

At dawn, people were sent to inspect in batches to find clues, and sent people to spread the word that the head of Kangding Village came to question...

The visitor was a middle-aged man of forty years old, of medium stature and with a tough face.

When Fu Chun's Wu Wei saw this person coming over, he couldn't do the basic etiquette, and he said violently: "Bold grass people, in front of Your Highness, how can you be allowed to look around." ”

Before anyone knew what was going on, they were forcibly brought here by a dozen people in armor, and they struggled on the road to escape, but they were blocked to death. Can you not be nervous? Silently counted what cases had been committed recently, and there was no one, I patted my thigh, and thought about the widow of the king of the west of the village, who had just died three years ago, and her man was not very good, she loved to play a little money, and if she lost back, she would beat her wife, the widow of the king

It looks like a watery man, and this man doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, God has long eyes!

It's not right, as the village head, I only think about it in my heart, how dare I do anything wrong.

Along the way, no matter how the village chief scratched his ears and cheeks, more than a dozen guards were always neat and expressionless.

When I came here, I was surrounded by well-trained guards in Hei Press, and in the mass grave, the most eye-catching was a young man wearing a four-clawed dragon pattern costume, and his legs and feet began to tremble.

"Don't hurry up and salute yet", is Wu Wei's reprimand.

The head of the person touched the ground, and he trembled: "Grass people, grass people have seen His Highness." ”

"Report your name!"

"Zhang Qishen"

Fu Chun said: "In the past few years, has there been any suspicion in the village? ”

"No, nothing suspicious"

asked some relevant questions, and Zhang Qishen answered them one by one... The answer was untouchable, and Fu Chun waved his hand impatiently.

Nearly two hours of searching have passed, and nothing has been found.

Just when Zhang Qishen was brought in for questioning, the villagers of Kangding Village rushed over one after another when they heard the news and stopped to watch.

Fu Chun frowned and looked at the ape: "What else can you smell?" ”

The orangutan shook his head: "I can still smell the smell if it doesn't disperse for a short time, and at this time, I'm the same as everyone else." ”

Fu Chun's fists clenched and relaxed, and finally seemed to have made up his mind: "Go find a few hunting dogs." ”

Wu Wei, who was standing on the side, said: "Your Highness! I can't help it", scratched his head, if my brother was here, I could still persuade him, and now I don't know how to speak, and I can't expose His Highness's weaknesses, so I only look nervous.

Fu Chun waved his hand: "It's okay!" Don't worry", he ordered Wu Wei a few more words.

The ape only frowned slightly.

The guards led the hounds, and the thick Wu Wei was like a wall in front of Fu Chun.

Fu Chun was behind Wu Wei, his face was pale, his hands were clenched, and his expression was tense.

Wu Wei didn't care about etiquette, and directly ordered: "Look for the smell of thieves on the road." ”

The guards were given the order and led the hounds along the way they had come to look for the remainders, and the inspectors were very experienced, and in a short time they found the excrement.

The hound sniffed the excrement with its long lips, followed the scent of the ground along several routes, and several of them jumped to the mass grave, their front paws scratching at the grave, their mouths spitting saliva and their eyes shining with excitement.

Wu Wei waved his hand back, and immediately someone with a shovel tool was about to start construction.

It just so happened that this cemetery was not an ordinary small household, it was the Qin family of the Wang clan in Kangding Village.

Patriarch Qin walked out, the crutches in his hand were unhurriedly erected on the ground, and he bowed to Fu Chunxing, who was calmer than the village chief, close to the age of sixties, articulate, and thoughtful. He was followed by seven or eight men under the age of forty, similar to the Qin patriarch Xiao, who should be sons and nephews.

Without waiting for Fu Chun to be exempted, he got up again and walked to the grave engraved with the inscription and knelt on the ground.

The villagers of Kangding Village, who had just exchanged their heads and ears, were silent for a while, looking at the old man, it seemed that the old man had a very high status in the village, and as the old man knelt down to the grave, most of the villagers also knelt down, it seemed that it was not an ordinary family.

Fu Chun didn't pay so much attention at this time, he poked out half of the corner of his clothes from behind Wu Wei, and looked around in front of the tombstone at the hound with an excited light, the more nervous he was, the more he looked at what he looked at, and he couldn't take care of the Qin patriarch, and the biggest weakness of His Royal Highness King Leng was the dog.

Patriarch Qin knelt and turned around, and after bowing his head to the ground three times in the direction of Fu Chun, he said: "Your Highness's status is noble, and we grass people can be in the eyes of Your Highness."

It is worthless, but the ancestors are not rude.

I don't know what Your Highness means, Your Highness is far away in Kyoto, a difference of 108,000 miles, and it has nothing to do with the ancestors. People die as a big thing, how can the ancestors rest in peace, this makes my Qin family gain a foothold in Kangding Village, old and stupid, and dare to ask for an explanation on behalf of the ancestors", I saw it, people who don't talk often, when they speak, there is no refuge, Jiang is still old and spicy.

Fu Chun, who was behind Wu Wei, leaned over and looked at the hound, a tiny bead of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the afterglow swept towards the Qin patriarch, and when he heard these questioning words again, his eyebrows furrowed, and he was very annoyed in his heart.

All clues point to this village, a large number of salt thieves disappeared when they walked here, and there was no cover from the villagers, and nearly 10,000 people said that they would disappear when they disappeared, isn't it strange? The village chief still looks harmless, and he really wants to take off this layer of camouflage, and a bunch of people are discouraged.

This patriarch, this is to ask the wicked to sue first, and want to cover up, and he really treats this king as a fool.

Leng Yan asked: "Isn't it that you are guarding and stealing yourself, don't think that this king doesn't know, the salt ponds in the coastal area are all outsourced to the villagers in your area, and the court has given you favors, you are not grateful, but you are insatiable, and you have the idea of these official salts, so bold!"

Ignoring the rules and regulations, not obeying the law, where is the majesty of the court? ”

In front of the ancestors, the Qin patriarch did not show weakness: "Your Highness, don't be blinded by the left and right.

If any of the descendants have the mind of three hands, Lao Qin will be the first to cut off his arm, and there is no need for the government to do it.

The old man felt that the villagers of other counties and towns were red-eyed and said something in front of His Highness's ears.

We look rich and beautiful on the outside, but Your Highness doesn't know that the salt workers go in and out of the salt pond all year round, the cold and dampness invade the body, and the pain is unbearable.

The salt pond was stolen, and we were sincerely afraid, lest it would be blamed on us, but in the end we still couldn't escape this catastrophe.

Guards steal from themselves! Hmph, it seems that we have the most convenient conditions, but it is indeed not our doing, maybe someone with a heart thought of this, so all the fingers are pointed at us. ”

During the conversation between the two, a person came out of the shadow of the tree behind the crowd, with a black spot the size of a thumb belly at the eyebrow bone, and disappeared into the crowd behind the tail, quietly moving in front of the person.

Fu Chun snorted and said to everyone: "There is another possibility, it is the wording you have thought of a long time ago, specious, true and false, what a plan!" ”

"Your Highness Mingjian!" Patriarch Qin couldn't come up in one breath.

Fu Chun glanced at the big dog again, hid behind Wu Wei, and said patiently: "This king has always been kind to the people, but you are here to push back and delay time, isn't it that you deliberately cover up, and some people obviously saw that the thief just walked here and disappeared." ”

The elders of the Qin clan burst into tears: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, in the past few years, the official salt has been stolen repeatedly, but there is no clue, the emperor can't explain to the world, the court can't explain to the world, this is to take the county to stand up in front of the world?"

Is this to sacrifice the Qin family to the world, and to take Kangding Village as a practice?

But the world is precious, His Royal Highness is noble, and he should know that the dead are great, you do this, my ancestors will not be at peace underground, Qin Yi has been in charge for 50 years, diligent and diligent, but in the end he can't get back to a peaceful place for his ancestors, what is the use of our descendants, the old decay is a loss to the ancestors, even if it is a death, today I can't let His Highness move here a grass and a soil", not to mention the old ginger, or a cultured old ginger.

The name of the patriarch of Qin Yiqin.
