"The village on the outskirts of Pingning Street in Chang'an City should be Qiu Er Village. Let's go there to look for clues."

Fu Zhiyan was three steps away from Gu Yisheng, and when he spoke to her, he turned his head and did not dare to look at her, for fear that the potential danger in his body would affect Gu Yisheng.

"Why are you so far away from me? I won't eat you."

Gu Yisheng turned back to look at Fu Zhiyan, half joking and half expressing her worry.

"If you haven't experienced it, you don't understand how terrible it is."

The daughter of a wealthy family has lived in a peaceful and prosperous life in both lives. Without these changes, I am afraid that she will never realize the sufferings of people's livelihood, and will always be indulged in the love of her parents and her children.

Sons and daughters love each other long while heroes are short-tempered.

If you want to choose one, you must give up the other.

Fu Zhiyan still maintained a distance from Gu Yisheng.

Walking slowly along the deserted and overgrown hillside, I soon saw a main entrance made of huge rocks in the distance, which looked like the entrance to the village. When I got closer, I saw that there were clear and crooked words engraved on it - "

Qiu Ercun".

The blood stains were like the traces left by a waterfall splashing boulders, showing up diagonally and in pieces on the door.

It's obviously not a normal death.

These look like traces of massacre.

When the two of them entered the village, they saw that the ground was densely covered with dead bodies. Occasionally there were some ants, cockroaches and other hateful looking insects crawling around. There were also fat rats gnawing on human corpses. The fishy smell seemed to be that of decay.

In the salted fish shop.

"Fu Zhiyan, look at that man."

Gu Yisheng's eyes widened and she looked at a conspicuous corpse located higher up in the village. Her hands were tightly entangled and she wanted to explore forward. She moved her steps very carefully, as if "

"Hopscotch" is general - but it is an extremely complicated kind, for fear that you will stick to the unclean things around you.

The corpse had hideous scars visible to the naked eye - a huge gash that penetrated the heart is still gushing black blood, mixed with some insects and other things climbing up and down; a knife edge cut it off directly

Half of his neck caused the man's body to lie on the ground in a very strange way, but his head was turned upwards, and the eye that had been gouged out refused to close, as if

Accusing others of their crimes is enough to make him die in silence.

Only his hand still kept pointing westward.

Even so, his hand had been bitten by the surrounding insects, leaving only the bones.

"Xibian, does he want to go to the west to get something?"

Gu Yisheng followed the direction pointed by the corpse and planned to go and have a look.

"Don't go there."

Fu Zhiyan saw her wanting to walk over and quickly stopped her.

"You're stupid, but you haven't learned enough about the world, right? That's Xiangfeng County, which is adjacent to Xiliang. After two more passes, you'll reach the border pass."

Could it be said that the perpetrator came from Xiangfeng County?

There were also more or less wounds on the bodies of the people around. The wounds were randomly placed on people's bodies like a butcher cutting meat.

Apparently, there were quite a few people coming, enough to massacre the entire village.

The perpetrator is either a high-ranking official or a wealthy person, otherwise he would not be able to hire so many people.

"I took a closer look at the person you asked me to look at just now. You can see that he is wearing a ring on his bones. This is usually an item worn by the trustees of the village."

Fu Zhiyan pointed to the man's exposed hand bones.

Gu Yisheng took a look and found that in addition to this, the man was also wearing a futou, and the silk scarf used as a support had not been completely destroyed.

This futou was promoted during the Queen's period to unify officials' hairstyles. It often showed a hump shape after being wrapped. Only officials with a certain rank were eligible to wear it.

"So that means that even the trustee was killed. Who could it be? So arrogant!"

Gu Yisheng felt angry at the sight before her.

"As you can see, it is possible that this finger points to a certain city or country in the west, but of course other places are not excluded."

Fu Zhiyan looked around.

"Since you came here to loot, burn and kill, you will definitely leave traces."

Not far away, a broken knife stained with mud and blood caught his attention.

There was a hole drilled into the remnant knife, and a string of iron curved rings passed through it. It was a scimitar style commonly used by people from the Western Regions or in the western counties. It had patterns that were difficult to see because it had been buried for a long time.

"That's the key."

Fu Zhiyan looked at the knife.

"We have to find a way to get it back."

Gu Yisheng looked into his eyes, and of course she understood that he was collecting evidence. She immediately pulled off a long piece of clothing and gestured at the knife. She felt that it should be enough to wrap the knife tightly, so she handed it to Fu.

Stop talking.

The back of the house was also littered with dead bodies, but the people here were different from the ones they saw in front - more like the people who were framed in the house in Gu Yisheng's fiefdom and were said to have died of starvation.

The same lips are white and the body is thin, but there is pus, blood and yellow fluid around the mouth...

It seems that someone really maliciously moved these infected corpses to frame Gu Yisheng.

His heart can be killed.

Even though this village has suffered this disaster, it can still be seen that it was prosperous at that time.

In a house that had not been looted much, the farm tools were neatly arranged, and the waterwheel beside the farmland stream was still running in an orderly manner - although the water flowing down was no longer as clear as before, and sometimes a few pieces of water were even scooped up.

Dipper of blood.

Without the illegal intrusion of these people, this village would be a happy and contented village.

"Apparently, it should have happened in the past few days. According to the efficiency of the government, such a thing should have been known to the Holy Lord in a place so close to the capital. How can it still be like this?"

Gu Yisheng frowned and looked around with peach-blossom eyes in confusion, expressing incomprehension at this scene.

"It's a pity that the Holy One has never seemed to be aware of this matter." Fu Zhiyan shook his head, "The Holy One is the king of Yao and Shun. If such a thing that causes suffering to people's livelihood happens, he will definitely not be unaware of it, and he will definitely take immediate measures.

Measures, but now, it is obvious that someone deliberately concealed the report..."

Gu Yisheng nodded and responded, "Maybe the person who reported it has been killed."

Fu Zhiyan looked at the book "Incurable Plague Patients in the Suburbs of Pingning, Chang'an" and agreed: "Someone was aware of the plague, which means that the plague had already broken out before the massacre, but the official who reported it was killed;

Or, only a few people died during the massacre, and the remaining people were infected with the plague, and were later discovered by officials who wanted to report it, but for some reason the booklet was lost."

Kill officials...

Killing officials is a serious crime, and it is even more difficult to avoid being noticed, not to mention this is the capital city!

unless……

Unless there are officials protecting each other and covering up each other's crimes.
