Bang!

The older soldier tapped the young soldier's shoulder with the scabbard and reminded in a deep voice: "Don't chew the root of your tongue behind your back, be careful that the county commander hears and transfers you from the city gate to the mass grave to guard the grave." ”

"Hehe, Anxian County's performance assessment is the last class every year, no accident, next year I will be transferred out of Jiangnan Province and go to other remote places to be county commanders, we are the position inherited by our ancestors, I am afraid that he will do much."

That being said, the young soldier did not discuss the topic again.

The older soldier looked through the crack in the door, looked at the direction of the mass grave that was getting brighter and brighter, and secretly thought: Whether the county commander wants to go to the gas or collect the body, he can only run for nothing.

The mass grave in Lai'an County is just three miles north of the official road.

It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the rebel army killed thousands of officers and soldiers in this pit, a thousand people pit was formed, and the ghosts cried wolves every night, and no one dared to live here within a radius of ten miles.

Later, the world was peaceful, but there were also many displaced refugees, in the fallen leaves and no return to the roots, in order to avoid the wilderness of violent corpses, so they let their companions bury them here, and gradually, a group of people who did not know their identities and did not receive incense gathered mass graves.

Later, the unclaimed corpses disposed of by the government would also be thrown here, and no one would bury the dead prisoners on the spot, and the wild dogs and jackals that smelled the smell would gather here and come every night to forage for meat to eat.

Gradually, as long as it was night in the mass grave and nearby, except for the heavily guarded dart masters or caravans passing by at night, no one dared to approach the rest of the ordinary people.

When Jia Chu arrived on horseback, and there was still half a mile away from the mass grave corpses, the old horse that stepped down, no matter how he drove it, no matter how he drove it, no longer continued to move forward, and kept stumbling in the same place, and finally was driven away in a hurry, and even wanted to throw Jia Chu off.

"Useless waste."

Jia Chu's palm is charged, and it is a heavy slap on the horse's head.

The old horse immediately rolled his eyes, bent his limbs forward, and when Jia Chu jumped off the horse, he fell to the ground with a bang.

An Xian Ling, who was following behind unhurriedly, was taken aback when he saw this, and then realized that the people of the Jin Palace, whether it was An Hou or a guard, did things in a way that depended on their mood.

Seeing the old horse who fell to the ground and vomited blood, An Xian Ling couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, hurriedly dismounted and trotted forward, and took the initiative to ask: "A guard, what are we going to do?" ”

As soon as the Anxian order spoke, a fishy smell poured straight into his mouth and nose.

But he didn't dare to cover his mouth and nose, so he could only hold his breath and wait for Jia Chu to give an order.

Jia Chu didn't answer, but looked around at the officials who followed behind.

"Have all the officials of the county government come to gather?"

An County Commander looked at the Zhaomo official.

The Zhaoma officer, who came in a hurry with the second group of people, hurriedly replied: "Except for those who are not worthy, the rest are here." ”

"The day before yesterday, who had dragged the body of the mastermind behind the robbery gang outside the city through the streets and stood up."

When Jia Chu mentioned the words "behind the scenes", he inevitably accentuated his tone.

He just thought of the true identity of the man behind the scenes, and the punishment he would suffer for the imminent failure of his mission, and his heart was heavy.

The people of Ke'an County and the county government misunderstood what he meant.

"The armor guards want to find the body of the mastermind behind the scenes, pull it out and whip the corpse, so as to vent the grievances in their hearts?"

Anxian Ling thought smartly, it must be the deaf and clear eyes of the Jin prince who learned about this incident, and wanted to take this opportunity to express his attitude and show that the Jin prince was concerned about Daxing.

Although he came to the mass grave at night just to show his attitude, and it was a bit of a toss, if doing this could bring benefits to the prince of Jin, he would be useful.

“……”

Jia Chu didn't want to speak.

He was worried that as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but scold to death this stupid and stupid An County Order.

An County Ling did not notice this, but anxiously urged the Zhaomo official next to him.

"Zhu Zhaoma, tell me quickly, where is the body of the man behind the scenes?"

He didn't stay in the county office, but according to the grinding officer, he was in charge of the county office's official scheduling, so he naturally knew everything about the case.

Zhu Zhaomo, who was named, heard this question, and glanced at the mass grave that was still dark in front of him even if there were torches to light up the surroundings, thinking of the fate of the mastermind behind the scenes, he felt a little unlucky, and simply pointed to the subordinates who dragged the corpses on the street the day before yesterday.

"Talk to the guards."

Idle and idle, he came to the post to bury the corpse, Zhu Zhaomo is not like the Anxian order, he is the dog leg of the King of Jin, and naturally refuses to get used to Jiachu.

The three officials who were pointed out stepped forward, and the eldest of the three took the lead to speak: "After the street tour that day, in the evening, the Jiang prefect said that he would personally keep an eye on the corpse of the black hand behind the scenes, and put the corpse in the wilderness, where wild dogs and wolves haunted, so as to set an example, so that Lai'an County will not dare to have robbers from now on." ”

"He dares!"

Jia Chu suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

The old servant who spoke was even more silent, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, but muttered in his heart, not knowing which sentence provoked Jia Chu.

"Guard, are you scolding the mastermind behind the scenes?"

An County's order snorted and pointed to the mass grave.

"Everyone else is dead, you dissipate your anger."

It's because people die that they are angry!

Before Jia Chu found the body, he couldn't reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, not to mention that at this time, he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

What if the mastermind behind the scenes is not Xiao Houye, but a guard stand-in.

The little marquis is not stupid, how could he go into battle to kill people in person, at most he was planning behind the scenes.

As soon as he thought of this, he raised his head towards the old servant: "Go on, where did Governor Jiang throw the corpse?" ”

It wasn't long after it got dark, and the wild dogs and wolves hadn't all gathered around, and Jia Chu was unfamiliar with the place, so he really couldn't judge where the most dangerous place was.

When the old servant heard this, his face became subtle.

"That...... Governor Jiang really planned to throw the corpse into the wilderness, and it would be okay to let it be taken by wild dogs and wolves, but when Governor Jiang came to this mass grave with the corpse, the people who were already indignant poured fuel on the corpse and burned it again. ”

What?!

This time, not only Jia Chu was shocked, but even An County Ling was also surprised.

After reacting, An Xian Ling scolded bitterly: "Since the body of the prisoner is handed over to you to be responsible, you have to take care of it, and let the people burn it again. ”

"My lord, you didn't participate in the firefighting that night, you don't know, those robbers caused hundreds of acres of rice fields in the east of the city, and the rice grains were roasted and couldn't even feed the chickens, thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of the Jiang prefect, saying that the county government was responsible for the loss and taxation, and the compensation of the farmers came from Jinling Mansion, otherwise, those people not only wanted to burn the corpses, but even the houses of Anfu wanted to burn, saying that it was the county magistrate that you were not there, which caused the firefighting to be delayed for a long time, causing them to suffer serious losses."

An County Ling was secretly accused by this pass and was speechless.

Truly.

If he was in the county town, he would definitely be the one who did it, anyway, it wasn't he who rushed to the fire to put out the fire, but as long as he was there afterwards, his good reputation would be his.

But who told Anhou that no matter what happened in Lai'an County, he would avoid it and not return.

Thinking of this, An Xian Ling couldn't help but want to ask again, where was An Hou and why did he let him do these things.

But Jia Chu gritted his teeth and asked, "And then?" Where are the bodies that have been re-burned? ”

"Young."

What?!

Jia Chu was stunned.

An Xian Ling was also stunned.

What does it mean to be young?

Is that what they think?
