Chapter 378 When He Died, He Couldn't Be Her Husband
Although the body has been restrained, it is still stained with blood and the tragedy can still be seen.
Zhou Buyan first saw the shadow that had come before. As he had guessed, the tragedy in Yancun was indeed related to the salt drying field.
Shadow found the blood book that Mao Dan had hidden. The blood book was hidden in the hair of a corpse. Although it was not finished, it made great progress.
The salt factory is strictly managed and heavily guarded. It is impossible for ordinary people to get close to the salt factory. Even the salt drying fields are patrolled day and night by people from the salt village. Coupled with the construction, it is impossible to get close and sneak in.
In the past, both the people from Dachu and Qi and Wu and Beidi had tried every means to get close, but without success. The people in Yancun had gained experience, and gradually fewer people came to inquire or bribe.
Unexpectedly, those evil people would extend their evil hands to them in the end.
In order to find out the secrets of salt drying and salt factory production, they first arrested a few people and interrogated them, but it was to no avail.
Originally, they wanted to continue arresting people secretly and interrogating them, but they didn't want one person to accidentally escape and report the crime after escaping back to the village. Instead, the group simply refused to do anything and took control of the entire village.
They viciously used children as threats to press for the secret of the salt drying field. At first, no one leaked the secret and were unwilling to betray Da Chu.
But when a child a few months old was killed, the parents couldn't help but speak out.
The method of drying salt was leaked, and they also wanted the secret of the salt factory. Several people in the salt village happened to have the opportunity to work in the salt factory. This job, which was envied by everyone, became a life-threatening talisman.
But they are like an assembly line, and they don’t understand many key things, so it’s useless no matter how hard they try.
In the end, these people settled for the next best thing and asked them to poison the snowflake salt when they went on business trips to damage the reputation of the snowflake salt.
How could we do the poisoning thing, and the inspections at the factory were strict, so it was impossible to do it, so no one dared to agree.
What they told was the truth, but the thieves didn't listen, and started killing people, and even started to have sex. The women in the village suffered. Seeing their wives and daughters suffer, the people of Yancun were forced to resist, but they were unarmed, so what?
is an opponent.
Once the devil starts doing evil, he can never stop.
In the end, no one was left alive in Yancun, and the women in the village, even the old lady Yang, were not spared.
Zhou Buyan had seen many tragic scenes, but when he saw the corpses of a total of 365 villagers, especially those of children, women and the elderly, his eyes still felt stinging.
Zhou Buyan took a deep breath, thankful that Chu Xingchen didn't see this scene, otherwise she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.
He held Mao Dan's blood book, with anger flashing in his eyes, "Find the murderer, dig three feet deep...find it for me too."
Mao Dan always wanted to be Chu Xingchen's husband before, but later he kept in touch with Chu Xingchen and gave her a wooden hairpin, and the bracelet is still there.
Chu Xingchen liked the bracelet quite a lot and wore it often, and occasionally used the wooden hairpin. Zhou Buyan had always disliked Mao Dan and thought the child was too cunning.
But he never thought that Mao Dan would leave this world in this way.
They had lived there and were proud of Salt Village. The house that had been visited countless times was already covered in blood.
Zhou Buyan didn't see Mao Dan's body, so he asked Shadow to look for it again, but in the end he didn't find Mao Dan's body either. He only found his books, the wooden hairpin he carved, and a box.
He carefully locked the letter Chu Xingchen replied to him, and there was more than one box. There was another box inside the box, and he used two locks.
He is working hard to grow up and become outstanding, hoping that one day he will be truly outstanding and stand in front of Chu Xingchen.
But in the end he had no chance to grow up and died at the age of fifteen.
.......
When Zhou Buyan returned to Feng'an City, it was already five days later. During these five days, he took Shadow with him, and based on the clues provided by Mao Dan in the blood book, as well as the people he had captured earlier, he made breakthroughs in the interrogations one after another, and finally,
More than a hundred thieves who had been scattered were captured.
The doubts left at the beginning all pointed to Beidi, who seemed to be responsible.
Beidi needs to buy snowflake salt at a high price, which is indeed suspicious.
But with the interrogation, it will be discovered that this is a frame-up, and the real murderer behind the scenes is from Daqi.
"They told several salt merchants in Daqi, but the skills of these people are not that simple."
Chu Xingchen looked at the wooden hairpin in his hand. It was brought back by Zhou Buyan, and some of it was not finished yet.
"Then conduct a thorough investigation and investigate all relevant people thoroughly."
"yes."
We must investigate clearly, but the person is already dead and cannot be saved.
Chu Xingchen sighed, "Have everyone been buried?"
"Yes, they are all buried."
Chu Xingchen nodded. She couldn't go to Yan Village and could only pay a brief tribute in the palace.
Zhou Buyan brought the wine and saw Lingzhou coming back through the night.
He was wearing silver armor, which glowed coldly under the moonlight. He nodded silently when he saw Zhou Buyan.
After Xiao Wang left the palace, Lingzhou also left the palace to train troops. When he came back today, he received news from Yancun.
"His Majesty."
Xiao Wang and Chu Xingchen saluted, and then together with her, they headed towards Yancun to offer wine to them as a memorial.
"I will definitely avenge you."
As Chu Xingchen finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, rustling, brushing Chu Xingchen's hair and blowing the bracelet on her wrist, as if responding to her.
All the wine was poured onto the ground, and the sound of the wind gradually stopped.
Lingzhou saluted and said goodbye without stopping or speaking.
Chu Xingchen looked at Lingzhou's back. His face had always been cold tonight, and he was also feeling sad, thinking about it.
Zhou Buyan stepped forward and held Chu Xingchen's hand, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much. They will see it when you get revenge."
Chu Xingchen's eyes were green, and Zhou Buyan could tell at a glance that Chu Xingchen hadn't slept well at all these days.
Not to mention Zhou Buyan, he didn't get much rest at all in the past few days.
That night, the two of them hugged each other and slept together, finally having a good night's sleep.
Zhou Buyan didn't let go of Chu Xingchen's hand when he fell asleep. He missed her very much and wanted to protect her even more after seeing the tragic scenes in Yancun.
When Chu Xingchen woke up early the next morning and saw Zhou Buyan still holding her hand tightly, he smiled for the first time in the past few days.
Xia Zhi looked relieved.
Ever since the case in Yancun was reported and Zhou Jun left again, the whole palace has become silent. However, Xiao Jun and Lingjun are not in the palace either, so the palace seems to be getting quieter and quieter.
Your Majesty has been very preoccupied these past few days, and everyone has been concerned about it. Now it seems that Mr. Zhou is still here.
Breakfast is also shared by two people. Even ordinary days are also the happiest.
"Zhou Buyan, your hair is still falling out. Didn't the old lady ask for a reexamination last time? When will you go? I will accompany you."
"I'll go in two days." I have to be busy next.
After Chu Xingchen finished his breakfast and went to court, Zhou Buyan silently followed behind him.
Chu Xingchen turned around and saw him, "You want to send me to court."
Zhou Buyan took two steps forward and followed her half a step behind. Chu Xingchen approached him and used the cover of his sleeves to hook his little finger.
It can be seen that he really misses her these days and is becoming more and more clingy.
