Chapter 778 The real culprit behind the scenes

The two officers looked at the man in black who was seriously injured by Qiongqi, and then at Chen Xiaohe and the others.

"Can you still walk back by yourself?"

"Okay." Chen Xiaohe and others struggled to stand up, supporting the seriously injured Si Shanhe and the unconscious Mr. He.

The two officers almost nodded, then picked up the seriously injured man in black and prepared to take him back to the village.

As a result, the man in black bit out the poison sac hidden behind his teeth and committed suicide.

Everyone was dead, so there was no point in taking them back. The officials could only leave the bodies behind and help Chen Xiaohe and the others carry the seriously injured and unconscious villagers back to the village.

Since everyone else in the village was still in the mountains, Chen Xiaohe and the others were helped to Si Qing's home.

Si Qing had been waiting at the door for a long time. Wu, who was protected by Si Shanhe and was only slightly injured, almost shed tears when she saw her.

"Auntie!"

Si Qing raised his little hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more, but looked at the two officials: "Can you please help them get them into the courtyard."

Of course the two officials would not refuse and hurriedly carried the seriously injured Si Shanhe and the unconscious Mr. He inside. Chen Xiaohe and the others were also placed in other vacant rooms of the Si family by Si Qing.

Seeing how seriously injured Chen Xiaohe and the others were, Si Qing's expression became extremely serious.

How come Hao Duan was attacked?

Could it be someone placed by Magistrate Zhou in the county?

Si Qing always felt that this possibility was very low. There was no way that Prefect Zhou knew that King Cheng would intervene at this time, so how could he prepare in advance?

Moreover, if they wanted to kill people and silence them, it would be more appropriate to do it when Si Shan and the others were on their way to the county town. Doing it when they were almost at the village would be a bit deceptive.

But if it wasn’t Magistrate Zhou, then who could it be?

Si Qing thought for a while, then put away his thoughts and went to see Wu, who was the least injured.

She took four of the elixirs she had refined before and turned them into water, letting Wu drink some.

It didn't take long for Wu to recover from her injuries.

Si Qing took the remaining water mixed with elixirs and arranged for Wu to feed it to the injured one by one.

Among them, Si Shanhe and Mr. He were the most seriously injured. Si Qing gave Wu half a red fruit alone and asked her to share it with them.

Wu followed Secretary Qing's instructions, and Chen Xiaohe and the others recovered from their injuries quickly.

Even the seriously injured Si Shanhe and the unconscious Mr. He woke up.

Everyone hurried to Si Qing to tell her the details of the attack on the road.

By chance, I met the Chief Minister and asked two official envoys, Zhou Zhifu, whether they were raising private soldiers privately on weekdays.

The two officials looked confused. After all, they were just ordinary government officials. How could they know about the private affairs of Prefect Zhou?

Looking at their expressions, Si Qing knew in his heart that he had asked the wrong person.

However, she was not disappointed. In her opinion, Magistrate Zhou looked more like the real culprit behind the attack on Chen Xiaohe and the others, but the more Si Qing thought about it, the less likely he was.

On the contrary, Caozhoumu and Chengwang are more likely.

At this time, Chen Xiaohe and the others hurried over.

When the two officers standing next to Si Qing saw them, their eyes widened in shock.

Aren’t these people all injured before?

Why are you running around so lively now?

Especially the thin black man walking in front. If they remembered correctly, that man should be the one who was carried back by them before, and was slashed on the back and seriously injured, right?

Why does he look like he's fine right now?

The two officers wondered if they had seen a ghost and rubbed their eyes vigorously.

The next second one of their hands was held by someone.

Si Shan and Chen Xiaohe both smiled and thanked them: "Thank you so much for your help just now, otherwise we might all have died there."
