It wasn't until the child was brought out that she hurriedly tried the little one's snort and heartbeat, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual, she hurriedly took off the big coat on her body and wrapped the shriveled and thin child.

Then, the soldiers found several live mouths one after another. There were adults, there were also injured and unconscious children, and after a lot of chaos, they only rescued dozens of hostages, but only ten of them were rescued.

After another half an hour, the person who went to the secret tunnel to track down returned, saying that the remaining ten healthy villagers had been rescued, and the escaped bandits had all been arrested. Now, the little general and the brothers in the army are pressing people to go to Hejia Village.

After learning about the living people, Xu Chu naturally wanted to follow the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty to record the autopsy of the people killed in the cave, so as to facilitate the conviction of the wicked in the future, and also to facilitate the registration of the government, and then let the family collect the corpses.

The furnace is used to smelt minerals, and the temperature is so high that it is estimated that some people have already turned to ashes. The rest, presumably thrown into the furnace in a hurry, including a few children's corpses, were probably the same as those of the bandits when they fled in a hurry.

Xu Chu really couldn't imagine how a jackal would be a cruel and inhumane person who would poison a young child. Not only half-grown children, but even those who are no more than three or five years old can kill ruthlessly.

"The deceased was a man, about eight years old, skinny, and had been engaged in heavy labor for a long time...... The arm was broken, and the right heel was cut off before his death, and judging by the degree of friction on the sole of the foot, it should have been a serious injury within a year. The cause of death is to burn alive......"

She let out a deep breath, and for the first time felt that her autopsy skills were superfluous. Looking at the corpses, especially the children, made her deeply suspicious of herself and the world.

Why did she try to perform an autopsy and push the case, but she still couldn't eliminate the evil in the world? Even, those evils intensified, and she was caught off guard.

Whether it is rebellion or murder, the evil in the adult world, why do you have to pull children who don't understand anything and don't understand anything? They were no more than horns or drooping old, and perhaps they had never seen the world outside the village, had never seen juggling, or even eaten sugar gourds. But it's so simple, at an age when he should be running wild, he became a victim because of the sins and greed of adults.

With the inquest of the second child's body, Xu Chu even began to dislike his own skills. What the hell could she do, if she hadn't examined the bodies of Liuzi and Li Da, if she hadn't discovered the copper mine, maybe these children wouldn't have died at all.

If it weren't for her arrogance and lack of proper consideration, maybe these children would still be alive, even if they survived, at least they wouldn't be left to fiddle with their own hands without any life.

"Male, about five years old, with deep visible whiplashes on his unburned skin, and traces of healing after crushing his collarbone...... The cause of death is to burn alive......" Xu Chu wiped a handful of tears that had fallen at some point, gritted his teeth and continued, "Gender: female, between the ages of six and ten...... The skin is badly burned, and there are no visible scars on the surface of the body......"

As she spoke, she took out the autopsy knife from her sleeve, carefully separated the girl's adherent lips, and then reached out and stirred it in for a moment, her eyes were cold and cold, and she said fiercely: "There is a semen (harmony) liquid in the mouth, which is suspected to be done before death......

At this time, the onlookers all had solemn faces, and they had never seen Xu Chu's nausea and nausea during the autopsy. Those murderers are really not as good as beasts, and such a young child can really get their hands on it!

It is just a small flower that has never grown, and if it has not encountered wind and rain, it should be swaying wantonly in the sun at this time.

Because she had in her arms, she got up again to check the girl's lower body, and after a while, she directly took off the only coat on her body that could withstand the wind and snow, and covered her body, and did not say the result for a long time.

"Let's rest for a while, and later I will have the body taken care of and brought back to the yamen, and then let Huang Xianling be seconded from the nearby county government to conduct an inquest together." Xiao Qinglang stepped forward and squatted down, draped the big coat on Xu Chu's body, and then grabbed her trembling hands, his eyes were concerned but his tone was painful, "It's not your fault, those people will be guilty of it after all, ......

Xu Chu raised his head, looked at Xiao Qinglang with some teary eyes, and only after a long time did he bite his somewhat pale lower lip, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are multiple traumas and tears in the lower body, and the large intestine and small intestine are partially ruptured...... Anal/Portal Detachment ......"

Such an old sexual assault injury, let alone this life, is unheard of even in the previous life. She can imagine the bleakness and absurdity of life experienced by young children. What a gloom it must have been for girls in those days when they weren't here.

Xiao Qinglang had mixed feelings in his heart, both hatred and distress, until he saw Xu Chu helplessly shed tears, he took the person into his arms, and then lowered his eyes and got up to carry the fainting person out of the mine.

When I returned to He's house, it was already dark. Xu Chu, who had been fainting, was not at ease, his brows were furrowed, and he kept biting his lips as if he was in pain.

"How?"

The barefoot doctor in the village put away his hand to diagnose the pulse, and Xiao Qinglang hurriedly asked, looking quite impatient.

Now that the case has spread throughout the village, many families of the lost population have lined up to find the body. And the barefoot doctor naturally knew that those corpses could come back, and those few surviving descendants were mostly saved by the noble son in front of him and the woman who passed out on the bed.

Although Huang Xianling is now responsible for arresting bandits and interrogating wicked people, the people in the village still accept the love of the two in front of him. Therefore, he didn't dare to snub the two of them.

"Emotional agitation, uncomfortable liver qi, poor qi, stagnation and heart. I'll go boil a herb first and help the girl sort out her depression. It's just that heart disease still needs heart medicine, and the son still has to persuade the girl to want to open some. ”

In fact, Xiao Qinglang also had his own guesses about Xu Chu's symptoms, he knew Xu Chu's temper, but he never thought that she was so strong. However, just after the easy fold, he couldn't understand whether it was right or wrong for him to pull her to his side.

Around him, others always think that it is glorious and rich, full of gold and jade, or pampered and prosperous. But in fact, anyone who walks by his side is often accompanied by countless dangers, as well as endless murders and tricks......

Xiao Qinglang was in a hurry for the first time in his heart, a little helpless and a little painful. He sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Xu Chu blankly, quiet and picturesque, lonely, as if he could grow old like this.

Gradually, his gaze sank like snow, and he sighed as if he had made up his mind.

Since the future is bleak, then just take good care of her. Left and right, according to her temperament, whether it is to track down what Xu Cheng did, or to continue to do the way of a woman's autopsy, it is always extremely difficult, and by her side, she can deter some ghosts.

After making up his mind, his silent and sharp eyes softened inexplicably, and when he looked at Xu Chu, he was even more helpless. It's just that when he saw Xu Chu's uneasy trembling, he inevitably felt a dull pain in his heart, and then subconsciously bent down close to Xu Chu's ear and whispered: "Xiao Chu, don't be afraid!" ”

When Xu Chu woke up again, it was already two days later, and in addition to going to discuss the case with Huang Xianling during these two days, Xiao Qinglang would stay by her side for the rest of the time. Whether it is feeding medicine or water, it has never been used by others.

When he came back to his senses, Xu Chu sat up suddenly, regardless of the sourness on his body, and got up to meet the door.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qinglang had just finished writing the expedited excerpt and asked the secret guard to send him away secretly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Chu's face with a look of eagerness. He didn't know why, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

But he didn't want Xu Chu to directly pinch his arm and asked, "What about those children?" ”

Xiao Qinglang was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dark, and seeing Xu Chu's anxious eyes, he hurriedly comforted: "I have asked the county government to conduct an inquest, and now let the families recognize the body and go back for burial." Because of the importance of the matter and the tragedy, the government gave the burial expenses to every family in Hejia Village. ”

Xu Chu took a deep breath and reluctantly calmed himself down, "Is the case closed?" ”

"It's over, all the bandits are caught, and the sentence is a decisive one. In addition, the person who Wei Yan tracked down and connected with the medicine bandits has also been arrested, and I have ordered the squire of the Criminal Department to investigate this matter in person, and it is extremely important to investigate this case clearly. He paused, and then said again, "It's just, Xiao Chu, you should guess that this case is the same as the previous cases, and there is something else behind it, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to uproot the real mastermind behind the scenes for a while." ”

Just like now, no matter how they interrogated them, they only got a Rong Lang name from Song Ruiniang's mouth. And that name must be fake. At the beginning, he sent people to send a message to Beijing, and spent manpower and material resources to find a needle in a haystack to secretly check the names of the eunuchs in the household department, but in the end he did not get useful results.

These words, even if Xiao Qinglang didn't say them, Xu Chu understood them. She just couldn't accept the inhumanity of those people for a while, and even angered her own autopsy methods.

After calming down, she pursed her lips and lowered her hand weakly. But in an instant, she became more and more determined to investigate the matter to the end, not only for her father, but also for the children who died in vain.

When several people left the village, they deliberately chose the early morning of the second day after Huang Xianling and others returned to the county office. Normally, in winter, when the farmers get up late, they leave naturally without alarming anyone.

But before a few people's carriages left the village, they saw a group of villagers, old and young, blocking the entrance of the village. In addition to Li Zheng, there are also the sick and skinny young people who have just been rescued.

Wei Guang and others, who had experienced a commotion, were waiting for the battle, lest those villagers have bad intentions. However, just as they stopped, when Xiao Qinglang opened the curtain of the car to ask, he saw that Li Zheng, the leader, was kneeling and kowtowing at the entrance of the village.
