The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 180 Medicine Field
Without waiting for Xie Xi's answer, Lin Zisu went on to say, "That's because these corpses were all poisoned and died. Even if they were exposed to the wilderness, crows and flies would not dare to approach them."

The guards went out and walked around, and each of them had one or more agricultural tools in their hands.Behind these guards, the people of the town followed.

After the leader of the imperial guards assembled the guards, he saluted Xie Xi and explained the purpose of the people: "The little ones confiscated all the farm tools in this town. They were afraid that they would not find anyone when they turned around, so they all gathered together." followed."

Today's trip was originally intended to be kept secret, but these people gathered around, and no matter what they dug up in a while, they might spread the word.

Xie Xi was originally very dissatisfied with the arrival of these people, but after hearing what the chief of the imperial guards said, he waved his hand lightly and ignored it.

As the guards started working one after another, the corpses buried in the medicine field were dug out.

At the beginning, it was still a rotting and incomplete corpse. Later, what was dug out was one dead bone after another.

Just now in the basement, Lin Zisu still didn't dare to make a conclusion, but now with the body being dug up, she already fully understood.The people of Beidi regard this place as a base for experimenting with poisons. Ordinary doctors, even for testing medicines, choose small animals such as mice and rabbits.

But here, they use living people one by one.

In less than an hour, the guards dug up hundreds of bones from the medicine field, some of which were grizzled, and some were incomplete.

Lin Zisu suddenly felt shuddering, this is still Dayan's capital, and such a place has appeared.

The people who live here can be sure to be Beidi, but where did these medicine people come from?

According to Mrs. Tian Zhang, this group of people has been entrenched in Shili Town for more than ten years. Whether it occupies such a large area or uses people to test poison, there will always be some troubles. Why didn't the neighboring government report it?

Lin Zisu's eyes were full of worry, and she looked at Xie Xi.Xie Xi secretly reached out and patted the back of her hand a few times to comfort her.

The picture in the medicine field has been turned over by more than three feet, and the guards have not stopped digging down.

Not far away, more and more people gathered to watch, and those who arrived later did not know what happened, so they asked other people what happened.

Suddenly there was a cry from the crowd, and then there was an old man who stumbled towards the medicine field, crying loudly while running: "My poor Wu, I have been looking for you for two months! !"

The old man ran while crying, walked up to him, jumped into the corpses in Yaotian, and made a gesture to look at the corpses.Seeing such an uninvited guest suddenly intruded, two guards nearby immediately dropped the things in their hands and dragged the old man out of the medicine field.

The old man just knelt down and begged, seeing that the two guards were unmoved, he directly hugged one guard's thigh, refusing to get up desperately.

If there were ordinary people who dared to offend like this on weekdays, the guard would have taught him a lesson.But at this moment, with Xie Xi present, after all, he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he sneaked a pair of eyes towards Xie Xi.

Xie Xi had no interest in such a farce. Seeing that the guards had stopped what they were doing, Qi Qi waited for him to issue orders.

Seeing Xie Xi's worried face, the two guards were about to drag the old man away.Lin Zisu was the first to say: "This uncle is really pitiful, I'll go and ask."

Lin Zisu winked at Xie Xi first, then walked towards the old man.A dozen or so steps away from the old man, Lin Zisu stopped and said from a distance, "Old man, are you from this town?"

When the old man saw Lin Zisu dressed up as a girl, he smiled again, which was completely different from the guards' cold face. His heart was less frightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "The little old man's surname is Wang, and he is the tofu in the town." Shopkeeper, my fifth son went out to deliver tofu early in the morning last month, but there is still no one there. I heard that someone was buried here, so I wanted to see if my fifth son was here."

The old man Wang knelt on the ground and wept, stretching his neck from time to time, looking into the medicine field.

Lin Zisu pointed to the medicine field and said: "Look, old man, it's a mess here, I'm afraid it's hard for you to find it, just wait for a while, and then you can identify it after it's tidied up."

The old man Wang refused to leave, Lin Zisu said to the two guards: "Since he refuses to leave, you two should just watch him here!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and returned to Xie Xi's side, shook her head slightly, and said, "This is a shocking case, and it also involves Beidi. We don't have enough people. I'm afraid we have to go to Beijing for help as soon as possible."

Xie Xi immediately ordered two guards, one guard reported back to the palace and explained the details to the emperor; the other guard brought his famous assassin to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case.

The guards were still turning the soil in the medicine field, constantly digging up new bones from the soil.

When the people in the town heard about the movement in the medicine field, they also gathered in twos and threes. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 100 people gathered.

Seeing that Mrs. Tian Zhang was timidly following behind the crowd, Lin Zisu immediately waved to Mrs. Tian and said, "Ma'am, come here for a while."

Mrs. Tian Zhang didn't expect that Lin Zisu was a nobleman in the capital. Seeing that Lin Zisu was surrounded by vicious guards, and the stench that filled the mountains and plains made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But thinking that Lin Zisu was his savior after all, he forced his way out of the crowd, took a few steps forward and stood still, saluted respectfully, and said, "I've seen Miss, I don't know what's wrong with Miss?"

There were more than 20 steps between the two, and it was very inconvenient to talk.Lin Zisu asked Lve Ying to follow her, walked towards Mrs. Tian, ​​walked up to Mrs. Tian, ​​felt that Mrs. Tian looked at her differently, turned around and saw Xie Xi and Lve Ying following behind her from left to right .

Xie Xi looked at himself with obvious concern, Lin Zisu smiled at him and said, "I just asked a few questions, you don't have to worry."

Xie Xi nodded, but still followed closely behind Lin Zisu.Lin Zisu approached Mrs. Tian Zhang and asked, "Ma'am, let me ask you a few questions, and you must answer me truthfully."

Mrs. Tian Zhang nodded, and Lin Zisu asked in a low voice, "Did you see those foreigners in the town these two days?"

Mrs. Tian Zhang was taken aback for a moment, thought about it, and said, "I haven't seen those strange people since this place was vacant more than half a month ago. Two days ago... I thought there must be some valuables here." I secretly came over and flipped over..."

She said, looked around secretly, and then said: "It's weird to say, there was no one here at all, but I heard some strange voices."
