After two full years of being busy like this, Ren Zixian, Gu Feng and Tang Yu finally created a cavalry squad of twenty-one people, including the three of them.

After that, Ren Zixian led all of them to overcome many dangers and obstacles and returned to the original capital of the Southern Dynasty, but what was waiting for them was only a Ren family courtyard that had become ruins and more than 30 remains that had become bones.

Ren Zixian asked Gu Feng and Tang Yu to go to the grange and shop of the former General's Mansion to investigate, but the result was naturally not what they expected, those properties that originally belonged to the General's Mansion now all have new owners.

In front of the villagers who helped bury all the corpses in the courtyard, Ren Zixian, a dignified seven-foot man who had always believed in men shedding blood without tears, knelt fragile among the ruins and cried, the cry was so miserable that he had lost all hope and fell into madness.

The villagers were very sympathetic to this Chang Sheng, who had fought for the country and the people for several years, but was killed by the Dog Emperor, and they apologized to Ren Zixian with an embarrassed face, saying that they could only afford the worst thin-skinned coffin to bury everyone, and except for the most luxuriously dressed woman, who should be Mrs. Ren, they didn't recognize any of the other men and women, so there was no way to erect a monument for them.

How could Ren Zixian blame these villagers who risked the anger of those in power to help his family, subordinates, and servants collect the remains, he didn't say a word, turned around and bowed down to everyone.

The villagers were frightened by his sudden visit, and they couldn't hold Ren Zixian with all their might, so everyone had to kneel down opposite Ren Zixian.

Although this situation is strange, compared to letting the general who guards their peaceful life kneel and worship them, everyone feels more comfortable kneeling with Ren Zixian.

Filled with despair, sadness, and anger, Ren Zixian was moved by the simple villagers, and he personally helped the two old men who were kneeling closest to him, and then asked them to take him to the cemetery.

Naturally, the two old men didn't have anything to do, but before leaving, the two old men revealed another message to Ren Zixian and the others, "There are no children's bodies in the courtyard, we have even salvaged them in the water, and the head of your family's guards is missing." ”

At the beginning, Deng Xibin, who also served as the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, went in and out of the other courtyard far more often than others, so many villagers in the vicinity knew him.

The words of the two old men rekindled a light in Ren Zixian's dead eyes, and after repeatedly confirming that there were indeed no remains of Deng Xibin and the two children, he was much more energetic.

Seeing that Ren Zixian was no longer as before, his whole body was filled with despair that almost wanted to destroy the world, the two old men glanced at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

After paying homage to the more than 30 deceased, Ren Zixian instructed Gu Feng to take people to buy coffins to bury everyone again—he was ready to transport all the dead back to Qushan Island for burial.

Gu Feng took the order and left, and Ren Zixian instructed Tang Yu to find the deceased's family, "There are people who are alive, if they are willing to follow us, we will take those people with us." ”

Tang Yu, who received this order, searched for more than 20 days near the old capital, but in the end he found only the distant relatives of the two mothers-in-law who had worked in the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion.

The servants who had stayed in the palace to watch the courtyard were all killed, and those who had been given a holiday because their masters had gone to the other courtyard fled after receiving the news.

Tang Yu quickly reported the news to Ren Zixian, who asked him to follow the two to pay homage to the servants who died in the mansion, "If they still have relatives alive, consider leaving some food and cloth for them." ”

The reason why the silver is not given is because in this world where rebellious soldiers are rampant and the people cannot live in peace, it is difficult for ordinary people to buy things even if they have silver, but there is a high possibility that they will be targeted by the rebels when they spend this silver.

Tang Yu went to visit the few family members of the deceased according to Ren Zixian's instructions, and then he sent two coarse cloths, ten catties of cotton, and ten bags of buds to the two people who first provided him with news.

- If they hadn't been with them to testify for Tang Yu these days, the relatives of the dead servants and guards in the General's Mansion might not have recognized their identities to Tang Yu.

After all, even if the general Ren Zixian died, he was still the most hostile person to many Northern Dynasty soldiers.

They can't beat Ren Zixian on the battlefield, but it doesn't mean that they won't kill people who have anything to do with Ren Zixian.

The families of those servants and guards were ordinary people, and they had to sit back and wait for the soldiers to be mutilated.

Tang Yu understood their caution, so after delivering things and inquiring about the news by the way, he never bothered those people again.

On the contrary, the two people who first provided him with news have been following him all these days and have done a lot for him.

Tang Yu knew their careful thinking - they had no loyalty or trust in him, and the reason why they took great risks to contact him and run for him was nothing more than to earn a bite to eat and a shirt for his family, but he didn't hate such careful thinking at all.

Tang Yu believed that if they reported Ren Zixian to the Northern Dynasty government, then they would definitely get more than that, but these two chose to stick to their conscience and bottom line without knowing how much Tang Yu could give them.

Although they made such a choice, most likely because they guessed that Tang Yu would not relax his surveillance of them, such a sense of current affairs and not being greedy was also worthy of appreciation in Tang Yu's opinion.

After all, there are too few people in this world who can do it without being carried away by profits.

The result of satisfaction and appreciation has become the same generous as Tang Yu's wealth boy.

Two horses of coarse cloth, ten catties of cotton, and ten bags of buds totaling more than 1,000 catties, both of them were stupid when they saw these things.

The first thought of the two was that with these things, their family would definitely be able to have a warm and full winter.

But then they thought again, they just ran errands for a while, is it really good to get so much pay?

Seeing the uneasiness and hesitation on their faces, Tang Yu became more relieved of them.

He was a good person to the end, so he simply took advantage of the night to quietly help the two of them transport their things back to their homes and hide them properly.

The two of them left with great gratitude, and until Tang Yu followed Ren Zixian out of the old capital, neither of them tried to report them.
