Shen Yunzhou opened his eyes, it was already dawn, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but now he should really go back to Yecheng, he didn't want Zuo Ci to worry more deeply.

Shen Yunzhou walked out of the camp tent, in front of him was Zuo Ci feeding carrots to his war horse, the horse exhaled, blowing Zuo Ci's hair, accompanied by the falling sun, for a while his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.

Zuo Ci finished feeding the carrot in his hand, turned his head and saw Shen Yunzhou looking stunned, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help beckoning.

"Yunzhou!"

I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking when he stood opposite.

Shen Yunzhou quickly came back to his senses, strode to Zuo Ci's side, and once again stroked Zuo Ci's hair behind his ears.

Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly spoke.

"The horse is fed, you can hurry back to Yecheng."

Shen Yunzhou smiled, took the reins from Qingluan's hand, turned around and got on the horse.

"Remember to take care of yourself and send someone to inform me if something happens."

Needless to say, Shen Yunzhou said the second half of the sentence, and Zuo Ci also knew that he would definitely come. Zuo Ci nodded and watched Shen Yunzhou ride a horse away. Qingluan handed the scarf to Zuo Ci, who surrounded his mouth and nose.

"Qingluan, I'm going back to Fu County. Take precautions too. ”

The situation in Fuxian County was still the same, the county official was waiting outside the inn, and Zuo Ci remembered that she was not in the inn last night, and walked to the county official's side.

"Take me to see the bodies of those two."

The county magistrate was a little surprised where the left resignation came from, but still did not ask.

"Xia Guan brought some small servants to facilitate the exhumation of the bodies of the two people. I also brought some money, which was kind of compensation for the two families. ”

This idea is tacitly in line with Zuo Ci, if this person is good-hearted and talented, he can be sent to some important positions as an official in the future.

"Let's go, and then take me to see the patients in the infirmary after the examination."

The two of them were neighbors, separated by a wall, and the courtyard gate was closed.

The county magistrate knocked on the door first, but no one was heard inside, and then knocked on the door next door, and there was only a little whimpering.

The county magistrate pushed the door, but found that the door was locked by a door pin, and through the gap, he could see a woman lying in the courtyard. sighed in his heart, and kicked the door with his foot. A few feet down, the door fell in the middle of the courtyard.

"Save people."

The woman was lying on the ground weakly, her mouth was already chapped, and she seemed to be dying of breath with less air in and more air out.

"Water... water..."

The county magistrate checked one step ahead of Zuo Ci, and then ordered the little servant to send the person to the hospital and feed the woman some water on the way.

"Caused by lack of water, if you come later, I'm afraid it's already..."

Zuo Ci didn't believe that a thirsty person would not look for water, so he hurriedly checked in the yard, the water tank was empty, and there was no water in the whole yard at all. When I walked into the room, I saw the fragments of the door pin on the floor, and I thought that this woman was locked in the house in the first place.

Suddenly remembering that there was no sound next door, Zuo Ci hurriedly ran out, but he couldn't kick the door here, Zuo Ci returned to this courtyard and glanced at the wall in the middle, the height was okay.

With the help of the shelf on the side, she turned over, and instantly the smell of blood and a smell of corpses made her frown, there was nothing in the yard, so the problem should be in the house.

"Young City Lord! Do you need help from the lower officials? ”

"You take the little servant to knock open the courtyard door, and then come in and knock the door open, there should not be a living person inside."

The three little guys banged on the door five or six times before they knocked the door open, and the door pin, like the next door, was locked with something, which usually couldn't be unlocked at all, let alone a woman who lacked water and food.

The door next door should be in disrepair and the door frame has decayed, so it will be easily kicked open by Zuo Ci. The three little guys began to bang on the door again, and with a bang, the door opened, and the smell of blood became stronger.

The person in the room had already lost his breath, and Zuo Ci looked forward against the strong smell, and the county magistrate behind him followed, straightening the person's body.

"If it's a little later, it should be a fly that brought us..."

The corpse emitted a foul smell, and the blood on the ground had dried up, it should have been dead for a while, Zuo Ci shook his head and sighed.

"The blood is all flowing from the wrist, it should have been cut with the piece of porcelain behind him, there are many times, and there are blood stains on the side of the mouth, it should be thirsty to the point of madness, and I want to quench my thirst with my own blood..."

"Show me the door."

From behind the door, the little guy took down the broken door pin and handed it to Zuo Ci, which made Zuo Ci even more uncomfortable.

"There were scratches all over the pins, which showed that she didn't want to die at first, but she couldn't get out."

The county magistrate ordered the little servant to bury the body properly, and the grief in his eyes was satisfied.

"This is just a teenage girl, why did she lock herself in the house?"

Zuo Ci looked at the blood stains on the ground, her brows furrowed, and the conjecture in her heart was one step more affirmed, but she didn't know what kind of person could do it with such a ruthless heart.

"It's killing people, not locking yourself in the house."

The county magistrate's eyes widened in fright, but he was really curious.

"There is something wrong with the cause of death of those two people."

Zuo Ci walked out slowly, the air outside the house was so fresh, maybe the girl also wanted to go out, but she couldn't see any hope.

Maybe she cried out for help, but the nearest neighbor was only the woman next door, and she heard another desperate voice from the despair, and saw that the freedom outside the house was in that gap, but she couldn't get out.

Zuo Ci looked back at the blood stains that had long dried up in the house, and made up his mind that if he found this mastermind in the future, he would definitely make him pay the price, and no matter how much he tried, he should not hurt the young child.

In the summer, it should have been laughter, but these two families suffered a catastrophe.
