325 Burning the whole village is a good idea

When the others arrived, they saw several men dressed like village thugs, lying in pools of blood, and their deaths were worse than those of the killers not long ago.

When everyone saw An Xin digging a pit to bury something, they only felt that she was too merciful.

Who would have thought that these beasts would be able to put a two- or three-year-old child in a pot and prepare it to be boiled and eaten.

Some soldiers saw a few men on the ground who had not been cut to pieces, and they slashed them a few more times with large knives.

Then they cut off their limbs and threw them into the mountains and forests, and I am afraid that soon these people will become food for the beasts of the mountains.

For the rest of the way, everyone was silent.

On this day, Anxin led the team to the city gate of Nanyang Mansion, and the guards who watched the city saw their long line, and they were also protecting mules and horses in the middle, dragging bulging items covered with oilcloth.

Looking at their costumes and mules and horses dragging the supplies on the cart, the team leader who watched the city gate probably guessed that An Xin's team should be sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief.

Hurriedly ran over and asked, really.

He looked up at the long line full of supplies, confirming that An Xin was sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, and a group of people could easily be allowed into the city.

It's just strange why these people wear a piece of cloth on their noses and mouths.

An Xin led the team into the city, looking at the empty streets, and only occasionally one or two people walked by with their waists bent.

The shops used to hang on the front of the door to solicit business, but now they have also faded in color, and the swaying in front of the door by the wind looks extremely desolate.

Occasionally, one or two people can be seen lying in the corner, either lying on the ground or leaning against the corner, their eyes closed and motionless, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

When An Xin saw this scene, her brows furrowed, and she saw that the epidemic in Nanyang Mansion was even more serious than she imagined.

It is said that when the city gate was inspected, the head of the squad had already sent someone to report to the government office, and at this time, even if the Nanyang prefect did not come to greet them in person, he should have sent an official to pick them up.

But at this time, a group of people came to the door of the prefect's office, and only one official named Guo Xun hurriedly came out to greet An Xin after hearing the report.

When An Xin opened his mouth to ask Li Ziyu, the official named Guo Xun had flickering eyes, hesitated in his words, and began to talk about Xila.

But An Xin is not a person who can be easily fooled in a few words, so An Xin, who was about to be taken to the reception hall of the government office, suddenly stopped.

His eyes stared at Guo Xun, an official of the government, with a lazy tone, but with a strong force that could not be refused, "This official doesn't like to be smart, he is a person who talks about him left and right, and plays dumb riddles."

This official's temper is not too good, I advise you to think clearly and answer. ”

An Xin twitched the jade dragon whip from his waist, took it in his hand and shook it, the bright yellow tassels swayed from side to side, as long as he was not blind, he knew that this thing must be a gift from the emperor.

Guo Xun, who was sentenced to Nanyang, still heard about the affairs of the capital, and when he saw that the person sent by the imperial court this time was a female official, he guessed An Xin's identity.

Seeing what An Xin took out, she trembled even more with fright, staring at the whip in her hand and taking a step back, knowing that even if she was killed by this imperial whip, she would die in vain.

Guo Xun began to think that An Xin had just arrived, and he didn't know anything about the situation here, so he wanted to send them to the post house where the officials were received without a word.

Then arrange for their own people to go and receive the relief materials they escorted.

In his eyes, women are synonymous with stupidity, and as for An Xin's question about him, Guo Xun didn't want to answer and felt that he could not answer.

But apparently he underestimated An Xin's methods and temper.

When he felt a hot pain spread through his senses, An Xin had already raised the jade dragon whip again.

"My lord is angry, just now the lower official was stupid and didn't make it clear." Guo Xun's eyes flashed gloomy, but he still spoke with knowledge of current affairs: "Master Li took people to Xujia Village~"

An Xin grabbed Liu Boxing, who couldn't bear to do it, and looked at Guo Xun, who was still hesitant to speak, and there were still unfinished words in his mouth.

Unceremoniously flicked him again.

"Ahh Guo Xun rubbed the place where he was beaten, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore.

The ruthlessness that flashed in Guo Xun's eyes, An Xin didn't miss it, but since she dared to do it, she was not afraid of this person's grudge.

Knowing that Li Ziyu went to prevent the Nanyang prefect from taking people to burn Xujia Village, where the epidemic was serious, An Xin looked solemn and instructed Liu Boxing:

"Leave half of the soldiers here to guard the relief supplies, and you take the other half with me."

"Yes."

An Xin, who turned around and walked two steps, looked back at Guo Xun, "Take him with you." ”

Liu Boxing arranged for his deputy general Yuan Feng to guard the supplies, and then walked to the door of the government with Guo Xun's back collar, threw it on his horseback and asked the direction of Xujiazhuang.

Everyone put on masks and moved forward quickly according to the order, An Xin was afraid that if he went late, not only Li Ziyu would be in danger, but also the people of Zhuangzi would also worry about their lives.

After leaving the city, An Xin knew the approximate location of Xujiazhuang from Guo Xun, so he took Zheng Xiaoling and more than a dozen guards on horseback to take a step forward to see the situation.

Liu Boxing pressed Guo Xun and followed with the team.

An Xin followed the direction pointed by Guo Xun, rode horses and galloped on the winding country road, and for more than half an hour, a village came into view in the distance.

And at the entrance of the village, which is surrounded by trees and stones.

Many officers and soldiers were using their weapons to face the villagers who were about to break out.

An Xin saw from a distance that there were still two teams of people there, as if they were confronting each other, arguing about something.

When An Xin and the others got closer and closer, and when those people heard the movement and turned their heads to look over, An Xin saw the familiar slender figure in the crowd, and she knew that she was not going the wrong way.

Li Ziyu turned his head and saw the person sitting on the horse looking at him leisurely, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, "Mountain Chief, you are here." ”

An Xin raised his eyebrows and looked down at Li Ziyu, who became more and more angular, tough and handsome as he grew older.

I couldn't help but give myself a thumbs up, such an excellent person is a student she taught, and it would be false to say that she is not proud.

"Well, here we are."

An Xin turned sideways and looked to the other side.

Fang Lin, the prefect of Nanyang, saw An Xin's eyes looking at him coldly.

Just now when he heard Li Ziyu call the woman on the horse the mountain chief, he guessed that An Xin was the female official who had taught many students according to legend.

However, the Nanyang prefect and his subordinate Guo Xun were all cattle in a trough, and they were all officials who despised and looked down on women.

looked up at An Xin and Zheng Xiaoling, who had ruined half of her face behind her, as if she had seen something dirty, squinting at people with her eyes slit.

Fang Lin saw that the official mansion An Xin was wearing was purple, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he still walked over unwillingly and bowed.

"I don't know if the adults are too far away to welcome here, and the officials are rude."

An Xin glanced at the officers and soldiers and villagers facing each other inside and outside the village, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"This ......" Fang Lin, the prefect of Nanyang, was as clear as a cold star, as if he could see through people's eyes, and he didn't dare to tell the truth for a while.

Li Ziyu looked at him with a cold expression, and replied faintly: "Most of the people in Xujiazhuang have been infected with the plague this time, but there are still some people who haven't.

When the prefect heard about it, he was going to bring people to burn down the entire village, so that fewer people would be infected with the plague. ”

An Xin nodded, as if in agreement, and said: "Well, he has a good idea~"

Everyone was stunned, and the villagers of Xujiazhuang all glared at An Xin angrily, and they looked like they were eager to rush out and eat her alive.
