Chapter 186: Skull in the Pit

In the pit a few feet square, there seemed to be a space underground.

Just looking at it from this angle, there are countless white flower skulls, mixed with the surrounding soil, which looks particularly terrifying!

For these strong men who do hard work, they have never seen such a scene!

Some people were so frightened that they trembled, and even those with poor psychological endurance were directly frightened and fainted.

The scene was overly chaotic.

Wu Zhi knew very well that he should stand up at this moment.

In the midst of the lightning, he raised his voice and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, follow behind the head of Wudu, go back to Zhuangzi first, and leave the rest to me." ”

When the words fell, I felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, so I hurriedly added a few words.

"Remember not to run around, especially not to spread the news, otherwise if I find out, you will bear the consequences, stay quietly in the Zhuangzi, nothing happens, understand?"

"Obey General Wu's orders!"

Everyone said in unison.

Facts have proved that the identity of 'the general of the imperial court soldiers and horses to suppress bandits' is really useful, at least in the face of danger and chaos, the common people are afraid of power and are willing to act obediently.

Instead of messing around, baring teeth and claws everywhere.

Not long after, under the leadership of Wu Song, the group left the mountain in an orderly manner and returned to Zhujiazhuang.

Hu Sanniang and others, who learned the news, also hurried over.

When they saw the skulls on the mountain, they were shocked and full of disbelief, after all, they had lived in this neighborhood for so many years and knew the situation here.

Homicides of this magnitude are indeed rare.

If it is not solved as soon as possible, it will definitely cause a huge panic, and it will be difficult to block the mouth of Youyou at that time, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Just thinking about it makes my brain buzz!

"General Wu, what do you think about this matter?"

When Hu Sanniang was helpless, she wanted to ask what others thought.

Wu Zhi became the first choice.

"After sending people back to Zhujiazhuang, my brother and I will dig up all the places here, and it is estimated that there are more tragic deaths below, as for the specific situation, I don't know, I can only continue to investigate."

"But one thing is certain, judging by the condition of the skull, the body is definitely not from last year."

"So you don't have to be too pessimistic, maybe you are a person who was killed by bandits before, so burying the body here to try to hide the traces, due to the changes of time and the change of the state of the land, so you will see the light of day again."

Word by word, the explanation is clear.

And after listening to Wu Zhi's explanation, everyone's hearts were not as panicked as just now, and they all settled down a lot.

Not long after, Wu Song returned to the mountain.

The two Wu brothers started work together, expanding little by little along the edge of the pit just now, and finally dug a large pit of hundreds of feet, which contained countless corpses.

The strange thing is that only the skull remains.

The rest of the body is nowhere to be found, not even the bones.

Rao is Hu Sanniang is brave and good at fighting, and has been on the battlefield, but now after seeing such a scene, she can't help but gasp.

"General Wu, why don't you talk to the county government, it's really inappropriate for us to deal with it privately, in case it is used by someone with a heart to poke the news out, it will definitely be troublesome."

"Then I'll leave it to you on the mountain, and I'll go to talk to Shang Yuning."

When the words fell, Wu Zhi beckoned, and set off directly with Wu Song not far away.

Although the two brothers went to the county government on foot, their steps were extremely fast, and after just a stick of incense, they had successfully reached their destination.

At this point, the door had just opened.

The guard who opened the door saw the two outside, and he was very frightened.

At the same time, a sense of foreboding rose in my heart, and I always felt that something was going to happen next.

"General Wu, I don't know if you brought Wudu Tou here, what's the matter?"

"Where's the prefectural order?"

"It's in the study, and the little one is going to call someone over now—"

"No need."

Wu Zhi was still concise, directly interrupted the rest of the guard's words, and hurried away with Wu Song, found the study of the yamen with a familiar way, and pushed the door in.

Originally, Shang Yuning was enjoying a rare quiet time in the morning.

As a result, it didn't take long for him to be interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and he was naturally not angry.

He scolded and was just about to call someone in, but when he saw Wu Zhi and Wu Song standing not far away, he was dumbfounded, and his heart was completely cold.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has even thought about how he should handle his future.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi didn't plan to deal with him because of a momentary mistake, after all, there were more important things at the moment!

"Something happened to the mountain where Zhujiazhuang was going to farm......"

In the time that followed, Wu Zhi briefly described what had happened and the situation on the mountain.

Shang Yuning felt his scalp tingle just by hearing it, and goosebumps all over his body.

"General Wu, I know what you mean by coming to me, first to appease the emotions of the people of Qingfeng County, not to cause a large-scale riot, and then to jointly investigate the case with you, right?"

"Hmm."

Wu Zhi nodded directly in acknowledgement.

In this way, there was almost no discussion between the two, so they hit it off and decided on this matter.

So, at noon that day, the government posted a notice.

And the people knew about it.

On the busiest street in the city, there were a large number of people standing around the notice board, three floors inside and three floors outside.

The sound of speculation and discussion is also like a tide.

"There are so many bones, I guess which one was slaughtered by the bandits, right?"

"It's also possible that this family did something hurtful and violated the taboo, so they were killed by God!"

"You don't think that thing sounds! But recently, don't pass by the foot of that mountain, just thinking about it feels unlucky. ”

At this point, Wu Zhi was very prescient.

He arranged a few soldiers in advance, and stationed them near the notice board, observing the reactions and attitudes of those who came to see the excitement.

Then report back in the evening.

After knowing the reaction of the people, Wu Zhi was quite relieved, and at present, it seems that after a whole day, this matter is still under control, and no one is secretly contributing to the trouble.

Then, it should be a pure accident.

Without a doubt, this is the best result!

"General Wu, according to this afternoon's inventory, it has been confirmed that there are four hundred and forty-four human skulls in that deep pit, and there is not a single extra bone of any other bones."

Hu Sanniang reported truthfully.

At that moment, she took out a cloth bag from her sleeve and spread it out on the table.

"This thing was accidentally found from the pit when I was clearing the skull, General Wu, can you see anything famous?"
