The beauty of the lady

Chapter 339 The Prince Goes North (6)
Director Xu thought it was impossible at first, but he realized in the next moment that his family's second master is an imperial envoy, so naturally there is no problem.

After that, the carriage drove slowly again.

Leaning against the car wall, Ye Que slightly raised a gap in the car window with his fingers, and there was a vaguely weird smell lingering in his nostrils, it was the smell of blood.

"Did you find anything?" Ji Heng asked.

Ye Que glanced at him, and continued to look outside, "I suspect that these villagers were drugged first, and then hacked to death."

As for the robbery or other purpose, I don't know for the time being.

"Stop, who is it?" A loud voice came from outside the carriage.

When Ji Heng turned off the car, a wave of heat hit his face, and there was also a smell of something else, which made people uncomfortable.

He took out a jade pendant and put it in front of the official: "Imperial envoy, ordered by the emperor to investigate the murder case in Tucun."

Seeing the jade pendant with dragon claws in front of him, the official officer hurriedly knelt down, "Wu Yong, the arrester of Yingzhou Mansion, has seen the imperial envoy."

"Get up, you follow, let's go in and have a look."

"Yes!"

After that, the three of them got out of the carriage, and the scene in front of them made the three of them stunned when they saw it for the first time.

Half a month has passed, but the village in front of me still has a gloomy feeling under the scorching sun, making people feel as if there is a ferocious beast entrenched in front of them, waiting for outsiders to enter and swallowing it directly.

The land not far away has dark brown traces in the sun, and the bloody smell lingering in the nostrils is still strong. One can imagine how the smell of the first person who saw it would make people sick. Ji Heng couldn't imagine the impact of the criss-crossed and thick corpses.

He has been pampered and raised since he was a child. He is the second young master from the eldest son of the Ji family. He has a high talent for reading since he was a child, so he has been doted on by his parents and the old man. Now this is really the first time he has seen such a scene. , I thought I could bear it, but now I realize that I have a little high opinion of myself. It turns out that he is just a guy who talks on paper.

Ye Cheng also felt that it was difficult to move an inch, and his face turned pale.

Not to mention just looking at this village, even if there is no accident, he still feels that it is too poor, the houses are all thatched houses, surrounded by mountains and forests, the houses are also very dilapidated, everything is beyond him In my imagination, my father is obviously diligent in government and loves the people, how can there be such a place, can he really have enough to eat?
And now, without mentioning all of this, just saying that he was massacred overnight, who on earth is capable of such a ruthless hand.

A palm was attached to the top of his hair and rubbed, making him come back to look at Ye Que: "Cousin Wuchen."

"In the world, there are always people who can't do it, even the emperor. Don't think too much, can you still persist?"

"Ok!"

"Then let's go in." Saying that, she took his hand and walked slowly inside.

There are about dozens of officials stationed here, and the five villages are not far apart. They are all built against the mountains, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. It is reasonable to say that they will not be so poor, but it is really hard to say that everyone is dead. .

"Wu Yong, where is the corpse?" Ye Que asked.

"My lord, stop at the grain drying field in the village, please follow the little one."

With that said, he led the three of them forward.

The sun-drying field is the place where the villagers usually pack up the freshly harvested grain. At this time, there are already hundreds of corpses piled up here. Although they are all covered with coarse cloth, the smell is still coming out, and most of them The white cloth had been discolored by the rotting corpse.

Ye Que asked the two of them to stand outside, while he took a needle from his body, walked up to a dead body, and lifted the white cloth off his face.

Because the corpse had not been treated in any way, it had rotted badly in June, especially on the face, the skin was festered, the eyes were sunken, one eyeball was sunken deeply, and the other was glowing. It was white and spat out, and the flesh of the lower jaw was gradually rotting away, and a bit of bone could be vaguely seen protruding from the high cheekbones.

Ji Heng turned around and vomited, but Ye Xuan didn't give in. Sun Ying, who was by her side, quickly took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose with her highness.

Still thinking in my heart, it's fortunate that Qiu Shu and Dong Hua didn't accompany me, otherwise I would have brought back two corpses, I was so scared to death!
Ye Cheng blocked his mouth and nose, held back the nausea that kept churning in his chest, and recovered after seeing the teacher vomit. Although his face was pale, he no longer felt too much fear.

Ji Heng felt a little embarrassed when he lost his composure in front of his disciples, but this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

Ye Que picked up a branch, moved the corpse to check the wound, then threw away the branch, pried open the corpse's mouth with his hands, stirred it inside, then retracted it, twisted his index finger and thumb under his nose to smell with.

At this moment, Ziye Zhen couldn't hold on any longer, turned around and ran a distance, and with a "wow", vomited out the joke's breakfast in his stomach.

Sun Ying hurriedly went to the water bag to clean his mouth, and then asked: "Master, are you alright?"

Ye Cheng waved his hand and punched his mouth several times before exhaling: "I'm fine, I just feel...disgusted."

But he had to go back, he didn't come to play.

When he turned around, he saw that Ye Que had already walked towards the next corpse, and continued to check the same.

After a long time, he stood up, took out a handkerchief, let Sun Ying soak it and wiped his hands, and said: "I guessed right, all of them were killed after being drugged, and the people who shot were extremely vicious. , there is absolutely no second way, it is obviously not a bandit or something, it should be an orthodox expert."

"It won't be a killer. This was also ruled out at the very beginning. Then only private soldiers or official servants can be so invisible. But what is their purpose?"

"Keep watching."

After seeing this village, they continued to go to the next village. When the inspection of the five villages was completed and the time was approaching dusk, they boarded the carriage and returned the same way.

It was already midnight when they returned to the other courtyard, and the few people hurried back to their room to wash up before coming out to drink some tea and eat some snacks. Ye Que was fine, but Ye Zhen, Ji Heng and the accompanying people were just He poured tea vigorously and didn't move at all, seeing such a miserable situation during the day, how could he eat ordinary hot food.

"What do you see me doing?" Ye Que swallowed a piece of snack, and noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.

Ji Heng curled his lips and forced a smile: "I didn't expect Wuchen to be able to eat it."

"Of course you can eat when you're hungry." He smiled, and then looked at Mr. Xu: "Is there a geographical map of Yingzhou Mansion here?"
