The riverside of Jiangjia Village was already full of people.

The woman's screams spread far and wide in the wilderness, and the villages were not far away, so that almost everyone was awakened by her. Listening to this cry full of fear and fear, people rushed over with weapons such as flat poles and hoes.

When they arrived at the riverside, they were stunned one by one, and they didn't even react when the weapon in their hand fell and hit their feet......

I saw that the river was full of corpses, densely submerged the river, and the corpses slowly disappeared at the end of the downstream sight in the flow of the river, but there was still a steady stream of corpses flowing down the river upstream, and it seemed that there was no intention of reducing at all.

"This ...... This...... This is a big deal! An old man looked at the reasonable corpse and muttered to himself. Although he knew that the recent years were not good, the country was plagued by droughts and locust plagues, which caused bandits to rise everywhere and the people were not able to make a living, and the nomads in the north were also unstable, so the country was very chaotic.

However, their Jiangjia Village is located in Sichuan and Shu, with many rivers and far away from disasters. And because it is difficult to enter Shu and it is difficult to go to the blue sky, the riots outside have not harmed here, so it is very peaceful, and it can be regarded as a rare paradise.

But these countless corpses made him feel that Sichuan and Shu were probably going to be in chaos!

Where did so many corpses come from? And who killed it? Could it be that there are rogues in the land of Sichuan and Shu? Or is there someone here who is taking advantage of the opportunity to revolt?

As for the corpses, they are rogues...... He hadn't thought about it at all.

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, except for a few passes, there was no army at all. With so many people in front of me, whether it was the rogue outside or the rebel troops in the land of Sichuan and Shu, it was impossible to win so many people with the hundreds of chaotic troops stationed in the city every day.

"What should we do, so many people have died upstream, should we send someone to take a look?"

"Look at it, look for death, if you want me to say that we will run away now, the rogue may come down the river to our village!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Coward, you want to run away if you don't know what the situation is, even if you come upstream, people have four directions to choose from, and they don't necessarily go downstream, your family is poor, of course you can run if you want to, do you think others are the same as you? ”

……

The villagers were noisy and disturbing, each with their own opinions, and arguing endlessly. In fact, in the past, the relationship between the people in the village was still very good, the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, everything is discussed, and there has never been such an exciting quarrel.

The reason why they are so out of control now is that they are frightened by the seemingly endless corpses, causing them to lose their sense of normalcy, although they don't realize it.

In the end, seeing that there was really a dispute, one of them said to the old man next to him: "Village chief, this matter is not disputed, you should always pay attention, we all believe in your judgment!" ”

At this time, the others suddenly realized and said: "Yes, what do you say about the village chief, we will all listen to you!" ”

The village chief used to follow the caravan to the north and south when he was old, although he was only a young man, but he was also well-informed, especially in the village full of mud legs, he was even wiser and won everyone's trust.

When the old man heard someone shouting, he came back to his senses, and after a long groan, he said: "Send someone to the county government to report, we can't handle such a big matter." In addition, send someone to a place a little upstream to find someone to monitor, if you see a large number of strangers coming, immediately go back to the village to inform, the others go home to pack up their things, if something immediately retreats! ”

"What a solution, village chief. He is worthy of being the smartest person in our Jiangjia Village! "Everyone is fartishly throwing it as if they don't want money.

If it was usual, the village elder would have held his beard and enjoyed the sycophants with a smile, but now his heart was full of worries, and he was not in the mood to enjoy other people's sycophants at all.

There is such a big mess, just with the little manpower in the county, it can't be done at all, even if the manpower of the entire Sichuan and Shu is added, I am afraid that it may not be enough, and the army guarding the land of Shu does not dare to be easily mobilized, otherwise it will be even more troublesome to be taken advantage of.

However, our village seems to be very close to the place where the incident occurred......

The village chief looked at the villagers who were heading upstream and the county office, and could only pray secretly, don't guess the worst!

……

Qingshui County is named after the Qingshui River.

The county order here is called Xi Zhiqi, at this time the sun has just risen, the light is abundant, but the heat has not yet risen, it is suitable for writing. At this time of the day, he would write official documents and practice calligraphy to pass the time, and at this moment he made a pot of hot tea, grinded the water, and was about to start writing......

"Bang bang bang~~!"

Suddenly, there was a drumming sound in the lobby of the front hall, and he frowned, and suddenly felt bad.

It was a trivial matter that disturbed his interest, and the point was that he heard urgency and panic in the sound of the drum!

This...... I'm afraid something big has happened!

He is not the only one who has this ability, almost all the people who work in the county government have it, and even those old officials are more familiar with him than him. To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple, the mood of the person who beats the drum is different, and the speed and strength of the drum are naturally different. Just listening to the drum beat for about one year can roughly discern the priorities of things.

When he came to the lobby, all the officials, masters and others were already present, and everyone had a solemn face. If it's really troublesome, in the end it's not their responsibility, and when it comes to trouble, they're the biggest headache.

Xi Zhiqian habitually surprised the hall in a row, "Who is in the hall, what is the complaint!" ”

"Master, it's not easy to pull, there are so many dead people! Flooded the whole river. ”

Dead person! Although the official standing on the side did not move, his eyes shrank imperceptibly, and this dead man was in trouble. If you can't solve the case, the old man will only urge and beat people, but if you catch a charge indiscriminately, this old man is still shrewd, and he can't be deceived if he is unreliable.

"What a mess, how do dead people drown the river? You say the opposite! Whoever you believe in, where you live, and where the dead are dead, give me them all. Xi Zhiqian listened loudly, and only felt that the other party's speech was reversed, what does it mean to be so good that many dead people have drowned the river......

Hearing the question of the county order, the man calmed down a little, sorted out his clue for a while, and then said: "Master Qiqi, a small stone, lives in Jiangjia Village. When someone went to the river to wash their clothes this morning, they found that the river was full of dead bodies, floating down from the upper reaches in a steady stream, and it was estimated that there were not tens of thousands but thousands! ”

"Bang!"

Xi Zhiqian heard that he didn't sit down and fell off the chair, he usually cared very much about his demeanor, but now he didn't care about this at all, he stood up and shouted:

"What did you say!"
