"People?"

Lu Pengyuan screamed, and he was also startled. After all, everyone thought that what was dug up was a box of silver, but who would have thought that a human face would appear in the soil.

"Wait! Look, that face moves! A sergeant shouted.

When I first cleared the dirt, that face was obviously looking at everyone, with a weird smile on my face.

Only now, the face suddenly closed its eyes and closed its mouth.

Is this still a living person?

All the sergeants drew their swords and looked warily at the face in the dirt. Lu Pengyuan grabbed Hu Yong's collar and asked angrily: "What's the matter, are you playing tricks!" ”

Hu Yong was also taken aback at this moment, he was grabbed by Lu Pengyuan by the collar, his legs were weak and he was about to kneel on the ground, his lips trembled and said: "That's right, I remember that this is the place, and the letter is clearly stated." ”

Tang Yun patted Lu Pengyuan's shoulder: "It's important to find out the silver two first!" ”

Lu Pengyuan snorted coldly, let go of Hu Yong, and called a few bold sergeants to come to the face of the person dug out of the soil. A sergeant touched the man's face and suddenly said strangely, "This doesn't seem to be a living person!" ”

The fingers are pressed against the face, but they don't have the elasticity of the skin, but they are very hard.

Several sergeants worked together to clean up the soil a little, and the true face of this thing finally emerged. It turned out that this long strip-shaped object was actually a clay sculpture. The clay sculpture is lifelike, and there is a hint of charm in it. Fang Cai didn't clean up the mud, so he mistook it for a human face.

"I don't think this clay statue looks like the god in the village." Lu Pengyuan touched his chin.

The clay sculpture looks to be a certain age old, and the paint is impregnated with clay and turns completely gray and earthy. Its head is very similar to the statue of the god that Tang Yun and others saw worshipping by the villagers during the sacrifice. He has antlers on his head and a patch of hair made of clay. These hairs are very delicate, but the clay sculptures have been buried underground for too long, and many of them have been knocked out when they are first unearthed.

This face is like digging out of a place and then stitching it on.

This is not the face of this monster.

No one looks like this.

It is said that there are many fools in the countryside around the gods, worshipping some lonely gods. I don't know what kind of custom it is, but I buried the idol here. Lu Pengyuan muttered.

Hu Yong's breathing suddenly became heavy.

His legs were weak and he couldn't walk, so he crawled in front of Lu Pengyuan and shouted, "Adult, the little one is sure that he is not wrong!" As mentioned on the map, this is the place between the two locust trees, and it is impossible to be anywhere else! ”

Lu Pengyuan kicked him away and asked Tang Yun: "At this point, what does Brother Tang think?" ”

At this moment, the sky is getting darker.

The wind blew down from the hills, whirring.

Dark clouds obscured the scorching sun, and a dark shadow shrouded the surroundings.

"Think about it, the purchase of the two palaces is related to this Huishan Village. Since the faith had led him to this place, it was not without purpose. It's just that don't you think it's strange that the silver found from the hand of the cook in Yanwang's Mansion is enough for one or two hundred taels. And the steward of King Liang's Mansion is only twenty taels. ”

"It's a little because the man is afraid of the discovery of the Liang Palace."

"That's not right! Since this person has a way to deliver the package to the tightly arranged Liang Wangfu, he has a way to deliver it to Hu Yong's hands. Now we don't know how the cook of the Yan Wangfu obtained this silver. ”

Lu Pengyuan suddenly realized: "That is the case, the chef usually contacts the Lin Mazi in the village on weekdays." Let's interrogate this Lin Mazi, and we will always know some clues. ”

"My lord, you won't look for this silver?" Hu Yong exclaimed.

Lu Pengyuan didn't fight when he saw him, and said angrily: "What kind of silver are you looking for, are you going to find silver in this broken clay sculpture!" ”

Hu Yong's face was disgraced, and he hurriedly followed Lu Pengyuan, and a group of people quickly entered the village.

At the moment, the weather is getting a little colder, like a prelude to a storm.

The black shadow shrouded the clay sculpture.

The wind blowing down from the hill gradually fell on the clay sculpture, blowing away the soil on it. If someone sees it at this time, they will definitely find that the eyes of the clay sculpture suddenly opened quietly.

The surface of the clay sculpture is a clay block, but the eyeballs in the eye sockets are alive.

The eye, wide open, with despair and unspeakable anger.

From the eyes, a line of bloody tears was left, and a tear streak was crossed on the face.

……

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan returned to the village.

In the summer, the village is undoubtedly very hot, but it seems to be a little cloudy now, although the air is still stuffy, but it is still relatively suitable.

"Adult, the little one has already told me all I know. I also hope that the adults will spare the small ones for the sake of the small cooperation! ”

Hu Yong was already panicking, and he knew that once the case was over, he was afraid that he would only be sent to the Liang Palace. How big is the matter of tax silver, he has finally woken up now, this is a matter that even the prince will be crushed if he is mixed in it.

Liang Wangfu will not spare him.

In the past few years of leisure, Hu Yong has forgotten his fear. The purchase steward was fat, so he was often scolded. The pampered days forget their status.

Indeed, he was just a slave, and he gave his life to the king's house. For such a servant, the palace only needs to kill him, and he can naturally prove his innocence.

In other words, he's just a dispensable ant.

Hu Yong was woken up by Lu Pengyuan, he finally realized the danger, and he told everything he knew in a vain attempt to save his life.

Lu Pengyuan didn't pay attention to him at all.

In fact, three days is too short. The 10 million taels of silver ingots may be smuggled away at any time, and Si Xing Temple has joined forces with the Criminal Department to set up a large number of spies in various parts of the Great Zhou, and once a similar silver ingot appears, it will be notified immediately.

However, war in the north is imminent.

The imperial army was conquered, and it was not enough to rely on the guards guarding the capital. It is also necessary for the government soldiers from all over the country to support each other. However, in the western part of the prefecture, they are all about to become the pro-soldiers of the feudal town.

There's no money, and I can't move it.

Tang Yun looked around, the original rhythmic sound of gongs and drums disappeared, but the village was still very quiet, and even the sound of chickens and dogs was nowhere to be seen.

On the locust tree in front of the village, there was a dead silence, and there was not even the sound of a silkworm chirping.

Squeak –

There was a tooth-aching sound of the door opening, and a wooden door opened next to it, revealing a wooden face.

When he saw a group of sergeants, he seemed to be a little frightened, and quickly closed the door.

"What's going on in this village, is that what you usually do when you usually buy?" Lu Pengyuan asked.

Seeing Lu Pengyuan's question, Hu Yong hurriedly said: "I don't have much contact with them on weekdays, but these people are afraid of your might, don't care!" ”

With that, the group returned to the mansion that resembled the ancestral hall.

In the courtyard, there are still many people.

It's just that these villagers stopped in front of the house and blocked Tang Yun and the others outside.
