Chapter Ninety-One: Dead Babies in the Dry Well

"Blood Yuan Dan?"

The three of them were all stunned, looking at the bright red elixir, their expressions changed slightly.

They had all heard of the Blood Yuan Dan, which was a harmful thing, but now they got it from An Qiu's hands, which was really scary.

"Go get a basin of hot water. Chen Ziang's expression was solemn and he commanded.

Soon, an attendant brought a basin of hot water.

Chen Ziang took out a pill from the lacquer box and threw it into the hot water.

The pill is like milk, just after touching the hot water, it melts instantly, and all disappears into the hot water, and the hot water is also completely dyed red, the color is red, condensed like agar, and it is full of milky fragrance, which is clearly the characteristic of the Blood Yuan Pill.

"Sure enough, it's the Blood Yuan Pill!"

Chen Ziang's face changed suddenly, and he was inexplicably shocked.

Bai Chongyi cursed in a low voice: "Then Anqiu is really vicious, and he actually stretched out his poisonous hand to the baby?"

The main ingredient of the Blood Yuan Pill is infant blood, and there are three of them here, according to the success rate of 10%, there are only more than 30 babies behind it.

"Search the entire town of Huai'an for me at once, and don't let go of any trace. ”

Chen Ziang's expression was serious, and he commanded everyone.

Bai Chongyi and the others did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly scattered in all directions, searching for a while in Huai'an Town. But after being busy for a long time, they were not depressed, but they found nothing.

Chen Ziang was puzzled and thought to himself, "All the places have been searched, so where is the place where the other party refines these pills?"

"The ancestral temple of the An clan!" Bai Chongyi shouted.

Chen Ziang asked, "Will the ancestral temple be there?"

The people of China attach the most importance to the relocation of the land, and they have always respected the ancestral temple, which symbolizes the fundamentals, and they never dare to offend easily in ordinary times, so they did not think of this stubble before.

Bai Chongyi's eyes closed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he replied: "There is only the ancestral hall, and we haven't searched yet." ”

Previously, in order to appease the residents of Huai'an Town, they only sent people to monitor the people in the ancestral hall, and did not enter it to search.

Now it seems that it is only possible there.

Chen Ziang took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and said, "Since this is the case, then you will go to the ancestral temple with me." ”

They killed Anqiu, and the An clan who settled here was just a new patriarch, but if they broke into the ancestral temple, it might cause a storm. And this storm may destroy the entire town of Huai'an.

Sure enough, after everyone arrived at the An's ancestral temple, they immediately saw hundreds of people gathered in front of the ancestral temple.

These people are all members of the An clan, each of them is holding an iron fork and a wooden stick, and after seeing Chen Ziang and the others coming, they all raised the instruments in their hands and shouted loudly.

"Get out!"

"Get out of Huai'an Town. ”

The sound was quite noisy, and there was no momentum at all.

Chen Ziang felt powerless when he heard this, and immediately pulled out the gun on his waist and pointed at the sky.

"Bang!"

The sudden sound of gunfire suddenly startled those who had gathered.

Chen Ziang's eyes narrowed slightly, swept over everyone with a vicious aura, and threatened: "Everyone, if you continue to stand in the way of us, then don't blame me for being rude." As soon as he stepped out, he was immediately frightened and those people retreated, as if the person in front of him was some kind of Shura ghost.

"Otherwise, how can we carry out our work?" Chen Ziang laughed, although his smile was no different from that of a demon in the eyes of others, and his eyes looked like a demonic threat: "It's just that who of you here can talk? I need to ask something." ”

"What's the matter?"

Probably feeling some danger.,From the queue,A person stood up with his legs on his legs.。。

This person is An Chen, the younger brother of An Qiu, and his strength is too far behind An Chen, only because he has lived too long to have today's status.

"It's about Anqiu! Do you know what he does in this ancestral temple on weekdays?" asked Chen Ziang.

An Chen's face turned red, and he replied with a look of shame: "Anqiu, he is the patriarch, I am not qualified to ask him." Fu Youqiang propped himself up, and begged to everyone: "It's just that you don't want to break into the ancestral temple and disturb the souls of your ancestors?"

"I'm sorry, no!"

Standing behind Chen Ziang, Bai Chongyi directly refused.

An Chen was anxious for a moment, and shouted: "You, why are you unreasonable? And this is our ancestral temple, how can people break into it casually?"

"Hmph, if that Anqiu hides here and does that hurtful thing, can't we go in?" Bai Chongyi didn't hide his hostility at all, and mocked: "In my opinion, the reason why you are blocking again is only because there is a ghost in your heart. Otherwise, why stop it?"

"You! ahem......

An Chen's face turned red, but he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, but fortunately he had the help of his wife next to him, but he was afraid that he would have to cough to death.

Chen Ziang waited until the other party recovered, his face was still cold, and he complained: "That's right. And I also want to ask the rank one thing, that is, half a month ago, Wang Xiu, the affairs officer sent here by our army, what happened to him?"

"Wang Xiu, you, you are from the Red Phoenix Army?"

An Chen's body trembled, and the crutches in his hand almost didn't hold it.

Chen Zi raised his eyebrows and moved slightly, his eyes swept through the darkness with suspicion, and he laughed: "It seems that you seem to know something?"

"I, I don't know ......" An Chen felt a void in his heart, and couldn't help lowering his head, trying to avoid the gaze that looked.

"Don't know?"

When Chen Ziang saw the other party's expression, he had already guessed most of it, and his voice suddenly raised: "Do you know what the crime is for killing the imperial court officials without permission? ”

"No, I didn't kill him!"

An Chen's body was shocked, and he quickly raised his head, his eyes full of horror.

Chen Ziang continued to ask, "Who killed that?"

"It's Anqiu. I saw with my own eyes that he tricked Wang Xiu into the ancestral temple and then killed him. An Chen hurriedly replied, and when he said it, his face turned pale.

Immediately after that, when those clansmen heard this, their faces were also pale, and they all lost their previous momentum, and looked at Chen Ziang with a frightened look, for fear that he would be angry. 、

"Hmph!" Chen Ziang shook his head and shouted angrily: "My Red Phoenix Army's Northern Expedition this time, all I am asking for is to expel the Tatars. If I don't deal with it, don't you think I don't have a knife in my hand?" With a wave of his hand, he shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Come on, knock open the gate of the ancestral temple for me!"

"No, it can't be opened!"

An Chen's whole person panicked, but he still stood in front of the ancestral temple.

It's a pity that Chen Ziang has no interest in continuing the stalemate, and shouted directly: "Pull him away for me and open the door." ”

Since occupying Qingyang Mansion, the Chifeng Army has dispatched officials to various prefectures and counties here to take over the affairs of grain and tax in various parts of the county.

Of course, this move also annoyed the local gentry, for example, Na Anqiu designed to kill Wang Xiu, and pretended to be a bandit in an attempt to get by.

Chen Ziang knew all this in his heart, and he was also full of disdain for the people in front of him, and explained: "At that time, because our army was in an urgent war, I didn't distract myself from dealing with this matter. But since I'm here today, I have to pursue it. The murderous intent in his eyes was revealed, and he shouted at those people: "If you leave like this, I can not pursue it, but if you continue to be obsessed, then don't blame me for being rude!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they were afraid that the incident would cause trouble, so they immediately fell into a tree and fled directly.

There are only a few guys who don't think it's a big deal, hiding outside the wall and watching everything that happens here.

"I-I-"

An Chen saw that he was alone, and his body was trembling, so he had to be dragged down by the soldiers.

In the distance, the originally blocked gate of the ancestral temple was also knocked open with a "bang".

"Get in!"

Stepping into it, Chen Ziang waved his hand, and dozens of people entered this ancestral temple and began to search for things everywhere.

About a quarter of an hour later, a person walked up to Chen Ziang, his face was extremely ugly, and his voice was a little hesitant, and he complained, "Mr. Chen, please come with us." ”

"Oh, looks like there's something interesting hidden in there. Glancing at Na An Chen, Chen Ziang followed the man into the backyard of the ancestral temple, but saw that there was a dry well in the backyard.

"Is this the dry well?"

Chen Ziang's nose moved slightly, and he suddenly smelled a rancid smell, walked to the dry well, and looked down.

The stench hit his nose and made him feel a twitch in his abdomen, but the scene under his eyes made him shiver.

Just because in this dry well, a baby girl was thrown down directly, some of them have just been born, and some are already more than two years old, the number is about hundreds, some have turned into white bones, the bones have begun to weather, and some have just decayed, and you can see the appearance before death.

The babies died without exception, with their mouths all long, and they were apparently tortured before they died.

The rest of the people also noticed the abnormality and stepped forward one after another to take a look at the scene.

And after they saw it, they also covered their snorts, felt chills in their bodies, and threw these babies into this dry well and fell to their deaths.

However, among these baby girls, there is an extra adult corpse, and it is obvious that this corpse is Wang Xiu, who was sent here by the Chifeng Army before, but was assassinated by Anqiu in the end.

Pity him alone, trying to expose the shady scenes here, but at the last moment, he died here.

"Well, I didn't do it. It's Anqiu, he did it!"

An Chen could no longer hold himself up, and he was directly soft to the ground.

Chen Ziang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and waved his hand and shouted directly: "Lock him up for me, and wait for his fate." ”
