After speaking, he also took out ten taels of silver as an apology, and the old man's son's face looked much better.

Lou Chong asked, "Then do you know where the bodies of those people in Lujia Village are now?" ”

"Well, where else?" The old man sighed and said, "There are too many corpses to deal with, and they are afraid of an epidemic, so the officers and soldiers transported the corpses to the mass grave and burned them all. ”

Lu Baichuan stood in place, with a thunderbolt-struck expression on his face, and he didn't even know when this family left.

"Master......"

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

No wonder they searched for so many places but there was no news, it turned out that the master's family was all gone?

He didn't even dare to look at Lu Baichuan's face, for fear of seeing his desperate and painful expression.

Over the years, he has known the suffering of his master.

From the very beginning, I wanted to do something for the country, so that the people of Beiyan would not dare to harass the people of Beiyan easily.

The master is just like all hot-blooded men, he wants to contribute to the country and protect the overall situation of the country, so that the people in the country can settle down and work in peace and contentment.

I don't know how many people are worried about them, and he also understands the master's incognito, and if he is replaced, he will do the same.

I wanted to earn fame one day and welcome my family to live a good life, but who knew that a natural disaster would ruin so many people.

"Let's go, go to the Rogue Den!"

Lu Baichuan is not as sluggish as Lou Chong imagined, his only hope now is the Liukou Nest, maybe there is still a living mouth there?

The people in the government can't deal with ordinary people, let alone suppress the rogues, something that can't be done in peacetime, not to mention that the world is still so chaotic now.

The two of them turned over and smashed into the nest.

If ordinary people wanted to find the Liukou Nest, it might be a little difficult, but in the eyes of Lu Baichuan and Lou Chong, it was nothing, and they quickly found a few dilapidated thatched houses.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still some rocks around to block the way, used for defense, Lu Baichuan wouldn't believe that this was actually a rogue nest.

The two of them walked inside, but they couldn't see that this was once a rogue den.

A large pit was found behind the thatched hut, and there were many white bones in the pit, which were distinguished by the clothes that had not yet rotted, most of them were men, but there were also one or two women.

Lou Chong stepped forward and pulled it with a branch, and found that the clothes of the two women were fat, and they should have been quite fat when they were alive.

Lu Baichuan only glanced at it and said, "These are rogues. ”

In the era of escaping the famine, who could eat so fat for ordinary people?

It's either a rogue, or some rich and noble family.

But if it's really a rich family, there's no need to flee.

Lou Chong threw the branch in his hand and said, "If what that family said is true, then these rogues should have been killed by a gang of rogues behind." ”

Lu Baichuan pondered for a moment and said, "The people who came behind were not rogues, they should have come to save those captives. ”

Lou Chong looked at him puzzled, wondering how these reasonings came about.

Lu Baichuan continued: "If an ordinary rogue kills someone, will he be kind enough to dispose of the corpse?" Also, although the houses we just looked at are now dusty, we can see that someone has carefully cleaned them up before, which means that after the gang rescued the captives, they stayed here for the night and left the next day. ”

Speaking of which, Lu Baichuan didn't continue, because he was no longer sure if the wave of people who broke in had anything to do with their Lu family.

According to what the family said just now, the young and middle-aged people of the Lu family died on the road outside Liujia Town, and their eldest brother and second brother are ordinary people, even if they are alive, they have no ability to kill them back, and they can still kill the rogue so neatly.

Yes, neatly.

Although Lou Chong just pulled the corpse at random, he still found that there was no major damage on the bones of these people, and they should have been killed by someone.

His heart was confused again, so did he really want to accept the fact that his family was all gone?

"Master, the March period is coming, and we should go back to Jingzhou."

Although it is not appropriate to say this at this time, it is indeed true.

The dead are gone, and the living still have to live.

What's more, Lu Baichuan is a rare talent, and he must live well.

Lu Baichuan didn't say anything, he was unwilling, but he couldn't promise King Chen.

His hands were clenched into fists and his back molars were clenched tightly.

He watched all this unwillingly, and came back after a lot of hardships, but his family was all gone.

So what's the point of him doing this?

He set a fire and burned the nest to the ground.

In the end, they went to the mass grave, and there was nothing but a few lonely graves.

Also, those officers and soldiers tried to save trouble, and after the fire was burned, how could they return the monument to the erection of the monument?

"I'll go to the county office."

He turned around and left, there was nothing abnormal on the surface, but Lou Chong knew that he had actually been suppressing his emotions.

There are very few people in the county, they have just experienced a natural disaster, everyone has no money in their hands, and the people have almost run away, and the whole city is empty.

When I arrived at the county office, the two officials at the door were dozing, which showed how idle the county government was.

Lou rushed forward and kicked them, and the two of them kicked their legs a little irritably, muttering, "Who, what are you doing?" ”

The people still hadn't woken up, and Lou Chong didn't bother to say more to them, so he pulled out his long sword and put it against the throat of one of them.

The man was drowsy and frightened instantly, opened his eyes and saw the two people in front of him, before he could speak, Lou Chong showed him his token, and the man hurriedly knelt down: "The adults spare their lives, the little ones will take you to meet our adults!" ”

The other also woke up when he heard this, and knelt down and kowtowed together.

Lu Baichuan didn't say anything, he had already raised his legs and walked inside.

The county government was empty, and the two officials ran to the front to lead the way, and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord, my lord from the capital is here!" ”

The officials are so lazy, not to mention the county order, they didn't even wear official clothes, and when they came out, they only wore white profane clothes, their eyes were hazy, and they didn't wake up at first glance.

"Who are the two adults?"

He subconsciously panicked, this Changzhou is sparsely populated, although there are refugees back, but everyone's vitality is greatly damaged, there is nothing to deal with for the time being, and they can only sleep when they have nothing to do, who knew that there were so many people suddenly.

Lou Chong showed him the token again and said, "We are from King Chen's Mansion, and there are some things that need to be implemented in the disaster relief in Changzhou before, so bring your booklet to us to check the number of people who have been killed." ”

It turned out that he was just checking the number of deaths, and he didn't blame him for sleeping at noon, and the county magistrate was very happy, and asked people to find the booklet to show them with a smile.

Lu Baichuan directly found the page of Lujia Village, and the purpose was the village chief's family, as well as a few uncles and uncles who had a very good relationship, and then his own uncle and second uncle's family, and then, his family, from his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, to his wife He Jiuniang, none of them were spared.

He also saw his name on it.

He forced his composure and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The county magistrate leaned over to take a look and said, "Oh, my lord said this person? This person went out four years ago and didn't come back, which is the default death. ”

He saw that behind his name, in the column of children, the eldest son Lu Ziyu was written with five words.
