Chapter 40: The Capture of the Tiger

In the house, there are Fang Qiushui, deputy inspector of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division, Du Liangzhi, deputy inspection envoy, Zhu Dabei, the head of the inspection department, the deputy commander of the guard battalion of the former Baicheng Governor's Mansion in the Southern Regions, the captain of the horse team of the guard battalion of the former Southern Regions General's Mansion, and Zhu Yaoting, the official of the left team of the left team of the East Pavilion Guard Battalion of the Great Xuanguo, and the Qi refining master Yu Hui Dao Chang specially hired from the imperial capital of the imperial city, as well as green tea and pleasing black tea that relieve fatigue.

The bandage-wrapped "mummy" whispered a few more words to Green Tea. Green Tea smiled at Li and said, "Shizi said that we may evacuate Yuanyang City at night. Are you going with us, or are you going to stay?"

Li Xiao thought to himself, this "mummy" must be Hua Zhongxian, although he hurt his lip, can't he still speak? Now it is really disrespectful to let a foreign girl pass the word. I'm definitely going to go with him, and my life is at stake. "I'm going with you. ”

As he was talking, a white-armored guard was outside the screen and said loudly: "Shizi, Commander Ping has returned." ”

Green Tea put her ear to Hua Zhongxian's ear, and then said, "Please command the envoy Ping." ”

After Yuanyang Weiyuan commanded Ping Kehu to come in, Green Tea smiled at Li and said, "The prince wants to discuss important matters with them." You're good to go. ”

Li Xiao wanted to say something more, but unfortunately, among the more than ten people, none of them went to see him again, and everyone had ignored Li Xiao's existence. He knew that if he didn't leave, everyone couldn't discuss, so he came out in a huff.

When Li Xiao exited the main room of the central hall, he saw a white-faced scholar sitting on the steps at the door, his left hand injured and bandaged with a white cloth, and a book in his right hand leaning against his knee's robe, he was studying the contents of the book.

Li Xiao's ability to remember people's faces is very poor, but the gray gown worn by the white-faced scholar remembers it very clearly, "Kong Yiji is the only person who wears a long shirt while standing and drinking", this person is not Kong Yiji, his surname is Ping, Ping Training.

Li smiled: "Hello, are you Ping Instructor?"

Ping Xundao glanced up at Li Xiao, didn't have any impression of him, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm from the Jinniu Town Market Inspection Division. ”

Ping Xundao was too lazy to take care of Li Xiao and continued to read his book.

Li Xiao said nonsense: "Last year, you and Liang Xuezheng were guests at the Jinniu Town Market. I've seen you. ”

Ping Xun said in his heart: I haven't been to the Jinniu Town Market? Even if you have been there, it is impossible to go with Liang Xuezheng. Today, Instructor Ping was very sober and thought: Liang Xuezheng has always been on good terms with me, and it is impossible for him to go out on business with me. Besides, I hate the people of the Open City the most in my life, and it is impossible for me to go to any market inspection department with a person from the Open City.

The people from the opening city, headed by Zhou Dongcang, the head of Yuanyang City, gave and received private gifts in the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion, and became officials in the group, so that Ping Xundao was angry.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said sharply: "You fart, you kid is talking nonsense." ”

Li Xiao was taken aback, and said in his heart: It seems that it is extremely wrong not to know how to pretend to understand, not to know and pretend to know. The ancients said: "To know is to know, not to know is not to know, and to know is to know." ”

Li Xiao felt unwise and was about to leave. "Wait a minute, you come out of it, what are you talking about inside?"

Li Xiao said vigilantly: "I...... I do not know. ”

"You're worried that I'm a bad person?"

“......”

"Commander Pinker Huping is my brother. We're trapped in Shiyang now. ”

“......”

"Did they say they were going to evacuate?"

"......" Li smiled and said: You guessed quite accurately.

"Evacuate as soon as possible, you can still ....... Right. Gotta go right away. Where to go and where to go have to be carefully considered. ”

Li smiled: "Do you still need to think about this? ”

"Definitely. Calculating the best route can minimize losses. ”

"No, no. ......" Li Xiao didn't know what to say next, so he said casually: "Specific problems should be analyzed specifically." ”

"It's quite level, so tell me, where should we retreat?"

"Wherever it's safe, there's going to be. Li Xiao was led by Pinker's train of thought.

"There is no safer place than the Imperial City. ”

"Then withdraw to the emperor...... Imperial City. ”

"Two thousand miles away. ”

I don't know and pretend to know, and I'm not wise. Li Xiao stuck out his tongue and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Ping, why are you here?"

"Call me 'sir,' that's so polite. Fang Qiushui of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Department is a relative of my family. ”

"Oh. Li Xiao yawned, ended the conversation, and slipped away.

Officialdom is a very large and fine net, and Ma Baiyu and Zhang Yifeng did not arrest Ping Keyu or kill Ping Kehu, which may be related to winning the support of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division.

Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division is located in the center of the market, the main entrance is built on the street, from the main entrance to the back hall a total of four floors, the first floor is about the street shops, in the middle is the black big iron door; the second floor is the front hall, nearly 100 errands, the location of the military officers; the third floor is the middle hall, the office of the inspectors of the Inspection Division; the fourth floor is the back hall, providing food, for the family to live, there is a back door directly to the market street.

Li Xiao paced from the middle hall to the outside of the side room, smelled a strong smell of blood, and glanced through the open window, the side room was full of corpses, basically the black men he had seen before, there were as many as twenty, and there were occasionally three or four corpses of white-armored guards.

They died in one place, some were killed with one sword, and some were slashed with countless knives, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

In the corner of the side room, there were two white-armored guards, who were using medicinal powder to "destroy the corpse and destroy the traces", Li Xiao was taken aback, how could there really be a "Western Poison Corpse Powder".

Corpse powder is a poison in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which is said to have been invented by Ouyang Feng, a western poison. Li laughed at himself, how to mix the content of the novel with the reality of the new time and space.

Curious, Li Xiao put his head into the window, squinted his eyes, and saw that after several corpses were sprinkled with medicinal powder, first the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues quickly ulcerated and then the flesh and bones disappeared in turn, turning into yellow water. It was a terrifying process of change, and Li Xiao felt that he should vomit, but he really didn't want to vomit the food in his stomach. There was a burst of pantothenic acid in his stomach, and finally his throat couldn't be suppressed, and he vomited heavily. The vomiting was too miserable, and a white-armored guard hiding on the side said in disgust: "Little baby, what are you spitting up, I can't stand it, what else are you looking at? ”

Li Xiao saw that his face was covered with blood, and he opened his mouth and shut up viciously towards himself, and immediately vomited nothing, and his heart was full of war. How can seeing a human corpse compare with seeing a rat's corpse on the side of the road? When I see pork in the vegetable market, sometimes I can't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of phlegm.

Why do you vomit when you see a dead body? Is it fear that causes stomach cramps? Or is it nausea that causes your stomach muscles to twitch? Do most people vomit when they see a dead body? Is this universal?

Do you vomit if you see the body of your loved one?

Li Xiao is more afraid of death, in his memory, there was a neighbor who was not too old died, and the funeral was very lively, at that time, the neighbor's house was in the main house, with straw, and there was a quilt on the grass or maybe a bed board, I can't remember clearly, the body covered with the quilt, with a blue and white face, was deeply left in his mind.

At that time, Li Xiao did not vomit.

Whether or not you vomit should be related to the state of the corpse, such as shape, layout, color, light and shade, smell, etc.
