Chapter 70: The Situation Grows Serious
Several people identified their identities and origins, and the messenger guarding the door did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in to report.
After about a cup of tea, a few people standing at the door saw a middle-aged man wearing an official robe with a haggard face hurriedly walking towards here.
When I saw Wang Yu and the others, my face was overjoyed.
"The emperor's grace is vast, the emperor's grace is vast, and the official has finally looked forward to a few of them."
When the man approached him, a voice came out of it.
Yang Rong almost cried with joy at this time, in the past two months, every day he heard the report of how many people had been killed by the officers below, his mood would be a little heavy.
So that when his face is haggard, he can't sleep even two hours at night, and he will wake up from his dream.
Now it's okay, finally someone has come, and the people of Yanzhou have been saved!
"Lord Chen."
Wang Yu and a few people bowed, although their identity is a special envoy, but after all, they are white, not officials, in the face of this kind of state's highest administrator, ranking in the third grade, they dare not put on any shelf.
"A few polite, please come in quickly, during this time, the official is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to the court sending people."
Yang Rong didn't dare to hold it up, and put his position relatively low, whether there was hope in Yanzhou or not, it all depended on these young people in front of him.
The group walked through the front yard to the living room in the atrium.
A subordinate had already made tea and brought it up.
The host and guest are seated.
Wang Yu and the others glanced at each other, and Mo Yunqi asked at this time:
"Lord Chen, the late students have just come to Qubu, as soon as they enter the city, they will see yellow paper all over the sky, and the courtyard is full of vegetarians, I don't know what has happened in the past two months, I hope to explain it in detail, and we can find a way to deal with it."
Yang Rong nodded again and again, and shouted towards the door:
"Come on, bring me the casualties reported from various places in the past two months."
The official outside the door answered, and left here, probably to get something.
Taking advantage of this time, Yang Rong also briefly explained the situation in the past two months, and when it came to these murders, Yang Rong, who was in his forties, not only had tears in his eyes.
It turned out that since the appearance of Zimusha, Yang Rong asked people to go to Taoist temples and Buddhist temples everywhere to ask for help from practitioners.
However, there were more than a dozen cultivators who came before and after, but they all died tragically at the hands of this son and mother.
Realizing that the local cultivators might not be able to handle it, Yang Rong wrote down an excerpt and asked the soldiers to rush to Liyang overnight.
And in just two months, the situation has been getting worse every day.
The deadliest one was in a village three days ago in the middle of the night, where more than 20 people died overnight, and all of them died tragically, and there was not even a single corpse in the capital.
is either beheaded or disemboweled, even after more than ten years of work, I vomited for a day when I saw this scene, and I couldn't eat for the next two or three days.
After listening to these descriptions, Wang Yu's faces were extremely solemn at the moment.
Zhang Miao opened her mouth and asked at this time:
"So, where are the places where this son and mother committed the crime?"
"Surabaya County, Pingyi Town, Qubu and other places. Since the situation has gradually deteriorated, these nearby villages and towns are now empty, and I am afraid that in a few more months, I am afraid that Qubu will become a dead city! ”
Speaking of this matter again, Yang Rong couldn't help but raise his arm and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
In just two months, I am afraid that this son and mother have caused hundreds of deaths!
Knowing the situation, everyone's hearts sank into a trough.
Although I can't understand how powerful this son and mother are now, I know very well in my heart that now with them alone, I am afraid that they will be more than lucky.
At this moment, the errand who had left before brought a finger-thick book.
When Yang Rong saw this, he asked the messenger to read out aloud the daily records from the first page.
"On the third day of the seventh month, three people died in Hewan Village, Dongyang Township, Pingyi Town, seven people died in the village and town, and two people died in Weiping Village, all of whom were in the prime of life, and there were no old and weak women."
"On the sixth day of the seventh month, eight people died in Huacun Town and two people died in Xingcun, all of them were young and strong men, and there were no old and weak women."
“.....”
"On August 23, 27 people died in Yao Village, Qubu, including 13 young and middle-aged people, 7 elderly people, and 7 women, girls and children."
When everyone listened to all these records, their eyes were full of consternation.
In the beginning, this son and mother only killed young and strong men, but from August onwards, they killed indiscriminately. And among these places, only Pingyi Town has the largest number of casualties, accounting for almost half of the entire population.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Miao spoke:
"It seems that this Pingyi Town has a big problem, the first killing started here, and the overall number of people and the number of times the child and mother are the most appearing is also this place, it seems that we need to go here tonight to have a look, I don't know what you guys think."
The others didn't know what was in their minds.
At this time, when they heard Zhang Miao say that they were going to Pingyi Town tonight to see the situation, they were all a little afraid in their hearts, after all, it was the first time to face ghosts, and it was also this kind of murderous mother and son, saying that they were not afraid was all fake.
Even the initiator Zhang Miao is beating his heart at this moment, and his hands and feet are a little numb.
Everyone was silent, but it didn't take long for Wang Yu to agree with the idea.
This was followed by Yangpu, followed by Mo Yunqi.
Seeing that these people all agreed, and no one else objected, if you say weak words at this time, wouldn't it show that you are afraid!
After expressing their attitude, everyone agreed to go to Pingyi Town tonight to see the situation.
When Yang Rong heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the people below to prepare meals and carriages, wanting them to eat before setting off.
The meal was to be eaten, but the carriage did not agree, but asked Yang Rong to prepare a few horses to hurry.
Pingyi Town is a distance from Qubu, and it is now past noon, if you take a carriage, I am afraid that you will not be able to reach Pingyi Town until the second half of the night.
However, if you are on horseback, you should be able to arrive before dark.
For this kind of request, Yang Rong naturally expressed his full support, immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and borrowed the holy decree from Wang Yu and others.
Let the officers waiting outside go to the governor's palace and borrow a few good horses to travel in their place.
After doing this, Wang Yu and the others, accompanied by Yang Rong, also had dinner in the side hall.
Before leaving, Yang Rong also wrote a letter and asked them to take it, and if there was any need, they could find the local county order to cooperate.
In the face of such kindness, Wang Yu and the others did not refuse, and after thanking Yang Rong, they turned over and walked away.
Yang Rong stood at the door of the Zhizhou Mansion, looking at their departing backs, worried and expectant.
I only hope that this nightmare can end tonight!
