Chapter 254: The Withered Flower

The morning light rises, and a new day begins.

The villagers in Tangdian Village naturally began to be busy with the farm work in hand, but Li Chen looked hurried and kept asking the villagers he met.

"Hey, do you see my wife?"

"Sorry, didn't see it. ”

However, the person he met shook his head, indicating that he had never met him.

"Hey, what's going on again?"

Li Desheng looked strange, so he walked up and asked.

Li Chen smiled bitterly: "Alas. You don't know! Since my wife went to Jingnian Nunnery to save her relatives a few days ago, she has not been seen. You also know that in this world, if you are not careful, you may encounter danger. That's why I came out to look for her and see how she was doing, why hasn't she come back for so long?"

"Didn't come back? How many days have you been? Could it be that you are still in Jingnian'an?" asked Li Desheng.

Li Chen shook his head and replied, "It's impossible. Jingnian Nunnery is not far from Tangdian Village, at most it is only half a day's journey, and it is absolutely impossible to have no news for three consecutive days. You know, in the past, she hadn't encountered such a thing. ”

"No, could it be that you're in danger?" asked Li Desheng.

"Dangerous?" Li Chen frowned, and whispered: "Could it be true?" Thinking that his wife might be threatened, he couldn't stand still, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the outside of the village, shouting in his mouth: "God bless, you must not encounter danger." Otherwise, how would our children live? I can't let him go without his mother!"

Seeing Li Chen's appearance like this, Li Desheng also lifted his nerves in his heart, and hurriedly ran behind him, complaining: "If he is in danger, how can you fight it alone? ”

The two left Tangdian Village together, walked all the way in the direction of Jingnian Nunnery, and began to look for the traces of Li Chen's wife.

When Li Lao heard this, he was also quite worried, and mobilized the villagers to find the traces of Xiaohong. Since this Xiaohong married into their village, she is naturally a member of the village. Now that the people in the village are in danger, how can they give up and naturally go out together, even if Xiaohong becomes a corpse, they must find her traces.

The movement of Tangdian Village was naturally discovered by others.

No, Wang Mugang finished his search from Liujia Village, and he felt strange when he saw many villagers searching back and forth on the avenue.

"What's wrong with them? Why is there so much movement?"

Pointing to the people on the shore, Wang Mu asked Zhang Shun beside him.

Na Zhang Shun replied: "I don't know about this, but looking at their appearance, it seems that someone is missing?"

"Someone got lost?" Wang Mu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Maybe there are bandits who have fled here, that's why there is such a commotion. Although the Yuan army retreated, the rogue bandits they left behind did not disappear, and they would attack the villagers for some reason. It will take some time to return to the tranquility of the past. Zhang Shun said with emotion.

Wang Mu advised: "Then the safety here, please leave it to you." Remember, get rid of the bandits here as soon as possible, and don't have any more of the previous things, understand?"

This is also the reason why Wang Mu came today, the strength of the Huaxia army is limited, just to deal with the threat of the Yuan army, the Song army is already stretched, to divide the forces to maintain the local tranquility, it is too difficult, so they can only rely on locals such as Zhang Shun, Zhang Gui, in order to maintain the tranquility of this place.

Relying on the slaughter of the city to determine the safety of the rear, such an act of losing the conscience of the heavens is not something that the Huaxia Army can do!

"It's nature. ”

Zhang Shun said, of course, he is also respectful to the secretary next to King Jin.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Shun, Wang Mu saw that those people looked anxious, so he came up and asked, "This fellow, what are you looking for?"

"Alas. Isn't that Li Chen's wife missing?, so the village chief mobilized us to find his wife?" replied the village name.

Wang Mu's heart moved slightly, and he became worried: "Li Chen, isn't that Xiao Lu's husband? Maybe it's just a similar name, or maybe it's her who disappeared this time?" So he then asked: "What about Li Chen? Where is he now?" Wang Mu also remembered that Xiao Lu vividly, and it was her help that kept Jing Nian'an alive.

Although he is married now, he often helps people in the Jingnian Nunnery.

"He's on his way to Jingnian Temple. After all, his wife had lived in Jingnian Nunnery for a while, and she was also planning to go to Jingnian Nunnery before she disappeared. The man complained.

"Jing Nian'an, I didn't expect it to be Xiao Lu!" Wang Mu looked solemn, and began to worry about Xiao Lu's safety.

For this one, she really didn't want to see the other party in danger.

While the two were talking, several villagers in the distance were shouting loudly.

"Hey, I found it. She's right here!"

When Wang Mu heard this, his body shook like a whirlwind, and he immediately came to the scene.

As soon as she looked at it, she saw a person in the distance half-kneeling on the ground, holding a female corpse covered in red fruits, this female corpse was covered with scratches, and her crotch was also a mess, and she was obviously tortured a lot before she died.

"In this way, was he raped and killed?"

Wang Mu only felt his eyebrows beating, and a wave of anger in his chest kept surging, but it was always blocked, which was quite uncomfortable.

"Alas. She's just pregnant, so she didn't expect to be treated like this?"

"It's also the sky that has no eyes, and let her suffer such a disaster?"

"I just don't know how the two of them will live in the future!"

When the villagers next to them saw this scene, they couldn't bear it, and they couldn't help but turn their heads sideways, not daring to look at the corpse that had been rubbed and abused.

Holding his wife in his arms, Li Chen was also silent, his eyes were dry, and he couldn't cry even if he wanted to.

Li Desheng, who was standing next to him, comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, so you should mourn and change." He had experienced similar grief over the death of a loved one before, and naturally felt the same way, but now apart from the corpse in his arms, they didn't know who had done such an evil thing.

"But she? what ...... she? How can you just leave me behind...... Whatever?"

His lips began to tremble, and Li Chen couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Li Desheng was silent, looking at Li Chen like this, and remembered the scene of his father's death.

He just stood beside Li Chen and said, "Cry! ”

"Ahh

With a roar, Li Chen couldn't help it anymore and cried directly.

After Li Chen's mood stabilized, those villagers also began to persuade him.

"Alas. It's not a matter of letting her die in the wilderness like this, let's take her back and bury her again. ”

"Guys, can you stop and listen to me?"

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Wang Mu stepped forward quickly and stopped everyone: "Do you know who did this little green? If so, can you tell me?"

"Midori, who are you?"

Li Chen looked at Wang Mu with vigilance.

"And you suddenly came out to inquire about this, don't you have bad intentions?" Li Desheng was also full of hostility and stood in front of Wang Mu.

"Ill-intentioned? ”

Wang Mu replied: "I am Wang Mu, and I have also lived in Jingnian Nunnery to worship the Buddha, so I know her." Now seeing her become like this, I want to speak up for her. You can't just let her die like that, can you?"

"Wang Mu, you are the king benefactor that my wife said?"

Li Chen was surprised and asked directly.

Wang Mu replied, "That's right, it's me." ”

Hearing the other party's admit, Li Chen let down his vigilance, after all, in his wife's mouth, this Wang benefactor is a great benefactor, a living bodhisattva-like figure who allows them to live.

"In that case, what are you going to do?" Li Chen asked again.

Wang Mu took a deep breath and complained, "Of course it's the official." After all, if this kind of thing happens, what would it be like if the prisoner was allowed to go unpunished? If that guy does it again, what will happen to the others?"

"Is this possible?"

Li Desheng sneered: "And even if it is a report to the official, you can catch the other party? Don't forget, when we found her, we didn't find anything." How do you catch a prisoner with all these things?"

Because of his father's death, Li Desheng has always been quite hostile to the government.

And since that guy did this kind of thing, he would definitely leave clues, and of course he would be able to lock on to the target. Wang Mu sighed secretly, feeling that in the eyes of these people, the majesty of the government was so low, even if it was a period of time, he didn't report the government much.

The only way to reverse the prestige of the government may be to start with this case.

"Well, then according to your words. ”

Although Li Chen was suspicious, considering the wife in his arms, he responded to it.

Wang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You have also seen that this place is not far from Jingnian Nunnery, if there is any movement, they should know." It's better to go to the Jingnian Nunnery first and ask the Jing'an teacher, maybe she has a clue. Isn't it?"

"That's just as well. ”

When everyone heard this, they were also impressed by the person in front of them.

Before, they had been so obsessed with hatred that they had almost forgotten about it, and it would have been a misfortune for the prisoner to escape.

"And. The most important thing now is to report the matter to the government first, and protect the scene of the crime so as not to miss any clues. ”

Wang Mu took out the means to deal with his subordinates and began to command the villagers in front of him.

"Otherwise, if you are destroyed by outsiders and leave out some important evidence, you will only be afraid that the prisoner will escape, but it will make your wife unjust, which is not a good thing for you, isn't it?"

"I'll understand. ”

Hearing Wang Mu's clear distinction, everyone closed their heads one after another and offered their respect.

Being valued by Xiao Feng and entrusted with the responsibility of a secretary, Wang Mu's ability is also extraordinary, and it is natural to operate like this.

And Wang Mu, as a woman, is also quite angry with the **** person, and just wants to pull it out and destroy it, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
