Aojiao Wangye's palm treasure

Chapter 825

Aware of the strangeness of the matter, the county magistrate ordered: "You two, go knock on the door and see if the villagers are asleep or out?" They don't spend the night outside, and the whole village doesn't go out.

"Yes, my lord." After the two yamen servants standing behind the county magistrate and holding torches answered, they strode to the door of a farmer's house and knocked heavily on the courtyard door.

Two years ago, people in this village lived in mud houses surrounded by fences. Because of the influence of Prince Xian in the past two years, life is much better than before. Many people live in half-green bricks. The black-tiled houses with semi-mud bricks, the courtyard walls are at worst made of mud bricks, and every household has wooden courtyard doors.

But the two yamen servants knocked on the courtyard door for a long time, but no one came out to open the door for them.

"The next one." Seeing such a result, the county magistrate had a bad feeling in his heart.

The two yamen servants knocked on two or three households in a row, but the result was the same. The anxiety in the county magistrate's heart deepened. After pondering for a while, he ordered in a deep voice: "Slam the door and break in."

"Yes, my lord." Upon receiving the order from the county magistrate, the two yamen servants raised their feet and kicked the door.

"Master, you take Wu Zuo and go home with her to check the scene." The county magistrate ordered the master beside him.

"Yes, my lord." The master clasped his hands and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard the yamen servant who kicked the door and broke into one of the farmhouses running out again, with a look of panic on his face, the master couldn't help but stop.

"My lord, everyone in this family has been killed."

"What?" Hearing the yamen servant's report, the county magistrate was shocked, and entered the house with a few strides, and the other yamen servants standing behind him followed quickly.

Seeing that the people from the county government followed the county magistrate into the yard of the farmhouse, the woman recovered from the shock and followed quickly. The yard was illuminated by the torches in the hands of the yamen servants. Even the door of the room was lying on the body, and the woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground, trembling all over, and her mind went blank.

"Look at other families." The county magistrate ordered with a livid face, hoping that the situation is not as bad as he thought. Under his governance, a village was slaughtered, and he didn't even know it. dereliction of duty.

"Yes, my lord." After the yamen servants answered, only two yamen servants were left to accompany the county magistrate, and the others left the yard to check the situation in the village.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the servants who had left came back one after another to report that the situation of the house they inspected was the same as that of this courtyard.

When the last yamen servant finished his report, the county magistrate backed away again and again. If the master hadn't helped him in time, he might have fallen to the ground.

At the same time, Long Hexuan also received an urgent letter from the county magistrate of Guwu County. After reading the contents of the letter, Long Hexuan carefully carried the jade pendant and confirmed that it was the jade pendant specially worn by General Xiliang.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Long Hexuan's face was extremely ugly after reading the letter, Lin Yuexin asked suspiciously.

As soon as they were about to rest, Ying Sheng hurriedly sent a letter in to Long Hexuan.

"People from Xiliang killed a family in a village in Guwu County." Long Hexuan replied in a deep voice.

"What? Is Xiliang trying to provoke a war between the two countries?" Lin Yuexin was shocked, and dared to sneak into Zewen Kingdom to kill villagers. These Xiliang people are really too arrogant.

"I thought, Xiliang might be jealous of our food and money." Long Hexuan said his guess in a deep voice.

"Well, it's not impossible." Lin Yuexin of Xiliang has done some research, and knows that Xiliang is full of wasteland, hot during the day and cold at night, and many people are nomads, so it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing.
