Be a good mother-in-law

Chapter 329 The Son Is Not His Own 6
"I only know which direction it is, and I can't tell how far it is," Lycoris pointed to the path extending far away, and continued walking.

"Mother, let Mother Qian carry you." Zhang Zhao left two servants to watch the car, and made another suggestion.

Shi Suan gave him a white look, "Don't worry, my body is strong, walking these few steps is not a problem."

Pushing away Qian's mother's supporting hand, he strode forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the setting sun dragged the shadows of the group of people, and the mountain wind blew in, sending a foul smell into everyone's nostrils.

A few wild dogs appeared in front of them, with red eyes and fierce expressions.

The face of the well-informed housekeeper changed, "No, there may be a mass grave in front!"

Everyone was stunned at the same time.

Zhang Zhao stopped his mother, "Mother, did you make a mistake?"

"No," Shi Suan said with a sigh, "Your second brother should be dead."

A look of grief appeared in Zhang Zhao's eyes.

Zhang Wan has been missing for so long, in fact, he had already guessed this, but he just couldn't accept it, after all, their brothers had a very good relationship since they were young.

Lycoris continued to lead the way, and the guards came forward to drive away the wild dogs. After a while, the group arrived at the mass grave.

The graves were piled up in a chaotic pile, the bones were covered with grass, and there were several fresh ones picked up by wild dogs, and the stench was suffocating.

There was a touch of lament in everyone's expression, for the contempt of life.

Shi Suan pointed to one of the old tombs that had obviously been there for some years, "Dig it."

The guards glanced at Zhang Zhao, took off their sabers, and dug up.

A bone appeared quickly, and one of the guards took out a jade pendant and handed it over.

Mother Qian took it, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and it showed the shape of a tiger, and handed it to Lycoris, who took a look at it, and passed it to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao took it, looked carefully, and saw the small word "late" engraved on it.

"It's the second brother's jade pendant." His voice was dull and painful.

Shi Suan did not answer, and ordered the guards to bury the bones.

"Mother?" Zhang Zhao looked at her puzzled.

"If your second brother was killed by bandits, why would the body appear here? Obviously there is a grievance. Let's report to the officials, and then let the government send someone to collect the bones to see if we can find any clues."

"But this bone does not necessarily belong to the second brother. It is unknown if he gave the jade pendant to someone else."

"Isn't that right? You'll know when you report to the official and let Wu do an inspection."

What he said was right, Zhang Zhao didn't insist anymore, and the group returned the same way.

Back outside Pingzhou City again, it was completely dark and the city gate had already been closed.

Those who did not have time to enter the city had already rested in the inn, and a few travelers from afar knocked on the door of an inn.

Shi Suan asked the driver to drive the car over, and everyone got out of the car and waited behind those people.

These few people looked ordinary, but Zhang Zhao felt that they were not ordinary people, so he took a few more glances.

"Old man," the middle-aged man who was obviously the owner among them saluted Shi Suan, and asked her where she came from and what she was doing.

In fact, the original body is not much older than him, but his appearance looks old, and Lycoris is dressed in an old-fashioned way, it seems that he is a generation behind.

Shi Suan groaned, covered half of his face with a handkerchief and began to cry, and told him about finding his son while crying.

The door of the inn opened, but the middle-aged man didn't move. After listening to Shi Suan, he politely let her go first.

After entering the door, he ordered the store to cook food, and asked the mother and son to sit down with him and asked about the details of Zhang Wan's matter.

Lycoris said it without reservation.
