The sound of the drums sounded like a cry of sorrow from the bottom of my heart.

That feeling is like seeing my beloved Xiaocui and not waking up, and I can't see her smile anymore.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Sanqi suddenly felt a little pathetic, just now he was thinking about how to stew this stupid dog at night, but now he found that he only had this yellow dog with him, but he didn't have any relatives.

A wake-up sound!

"Ascension!"

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

"County master, county master, you have to save your life, dead people, dead people!"

Ye Sanqi somehow, he shouted so loudly that he shouted out tears, he was frightened, but he was also sympathetic to himself, and he spoke a little incoherently.

Sweat mixed with tears, all of them were a salty taste, and he couldn't tell which was sweat and which was tears.

Gao Xian Ling was wearing an official uniform, slowly patting the startling wood again, rubbing his beard with his hands, "Silence! You first make it clear, who you are and who is dead. ”

"The county is too ...... Master ......" Ye Sanqi began to stutter as soon as he was nervous, "I...... I am Ye Sanqi from Xujiadian, and it was Yao ...... who died Xujiakou Li Daniu's family, they must be the masters...... They...... They ......"

Gao Xian Ling instantly put on an official face and interrupted what he was saying, "This palace knows." Then send someone to Xujiakou to see the situation, Ye Sanqi, you go down first and wait for news. ”

Li Zhutou received the order, and immediately took a few catchers to check the situation, and waited for a while, but as soon as he returned to the yamen, his face changed greatly, and he kept shouting, "My lord, it's not good!" Dead! ”

Gao Xian Ling was drinking tea comfortably in the mansion, and when he saw the panicked Li Zhutou coming back, he couldn't help frowning, and put down the teacup in his hand that was almost up to his mouth, "It's all head catching, haven't you seen the dead before?" What does it look like to be flustered, as if I thought that our county government had never seen the world. ”

"My lord, it's not good." Zhang Zhukuai had no choice but to put away his panic and said.

"Say it." Gao Xianling raised his eyebrows.

"The whole village of Xujiakou is dead!" Zhang Zhukuai's face changed dramatically.

"Poof-" Gao Xian Ling's tea just drank squirted out, "What! Dead, all dead? Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

All 111 people in Xujiakou village died.

As soon as he heard the news, Gao Xian Ling was so frightened that he didn't even wear his official uniform, so he quickly replaced the person and prepared a sedan chair and rushed to Xujiakou.

The officers and soldiers transported all the corpses to the ancestral hall in Xujiakou, which was open and more convenient for them to examine the corpses.

However, only a day later, the corpse spots also faintly appeared, but because the weather was too hot, the corpses decomposed relatively quickly, and the smell of decay was particularly strong, and a large number of corpses were piled up, attracting a large number of flies to fly around.

When Gao Xianling came, he saw such a scene, which was very terrifying, and his face changed greatly.

Many young officers and men could not bear it anymore and vomited incessantly.

Even the person who has been dealing with corpses all year round can't bear the smell, covering his mouth and nose with a dry cloth, and retching faintly.

"Haven't you seen a corpse?" Looking at everyone's reaction, Gao Xianling couldn't help frowning and calmed down, "Get out of the way, look at you like this, even this is afraid of this." ”

After all, when Gao Xianling saw a large corpse, he also swallowed, subconsciously shrank back, and hurriedly called him to ask about the situation.

The corpse is very strange, the strange thing is not the way of death, but the location, and there are people who die anywhere.

Some died at home, some died in the yard, and some even fell on the head of the pigsty, still holding the spoon that fed the pigs tightly.

What's even stranger is that when they died, their faces were peaceful, and some of them were smiling, their eyes closed, and they looked as if they were asleep and had a good dream.

"I also examined their bodies carefully, and there were no wounds, and I also checked them with a silver needle, and there were no signs of poisoning, but this symbol appeared on their bodies."

He lifted one of the people's clothes, only to see that there was only a cyan pattern on his neck, except for the corpse spots, "As for what this thing is, we haven't seen it, have you ever seen it?" ”

Gao Xianling shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but this should be left by the murderer, are there any other clues?" ”

Li Zhutou hurriedly said, "Yesterday, I came to the village at the request of the adults to take a closer look, but there were no footprints of outsiders in the village except for the footprints of Ye Sanqi and his dog. ”

"Do you want to say that the murderer is Ye Sanqi?" Gao Xianling was stunned, if it was really this Ye Sanqi, it would be a good thing to close the case early.

Li Zhutou shook his head, "No, judging from Ye Sanqi's timid and mouse-like character, it shouldn't be possible, and with his ability, there is no such thing as slaughtering a village." ”

Gao Xianling listened to his plausibility and became a little impatient, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

Li Zhutou hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My lord, do you think, since the murderer will not be Ye Sanqi, but there are only Ye Sanqi's footprints in a village, how did the murderer enter the village and leave the village?" Could it be that if you have wings, you can't fly? ”

"Huh?" This remark made Gao County Ling also think a little.

According to what Li Zhutou said, this matter is indeed full of strangeness and suspense.

Li Zhutou continued to reason and analyze, "Not to mention what kind of purpose or hatred the murderer had to destroy the village, but he actually didn't even leave a footprint, and he was able to kill the entire village silently?" Could it be ......?"

Suddenly, a young officer and soldier looked nervous and shouted, "My lord, it must be cursed, this must be a curse!" ”

Gao County's order, although he was also a scholar, was deeply taught by Confucius and Mencius's remarks of "Zi is silent and strange and chaotic", but such things also made him suspicious.

Isn't it really a curse for such a strange thing to happen?

The corpses everywhere, the strange and serene face, the strange blue and white tattoos, and not even a single footprint, all this couldn't help but make him shudder.

"Master Lin, what do you think we should do now?" Gao Xianling habitually asked Master Lin, who had been staying by his side, but no one responded.

Gao Xianling remembered that Master Lin went to the capital a few days ago, and he couldn't help sighing, "Master Lin is highly respected, has extraordinary experience, and has the most ideas on weekdays, but now that he is not here, what should we do if Li Zhutou is good?" ”

As soon as he was highly respected, he gently and skillfully pushed away the matter of relying on Master Lin in everything.

Clearly and secretly, the reason why Master Lin can understand so much is just because he has eaten white rice for decades, not because he is not good at it.
