Infinite Postman/Dreadful Postman

When the villagers saw Zhao Ke and the three of them, and heard the old woman's words, the expressions on their faces suddenly turned ugly, and they gathered around and shouted: "Leave, leave here immediately, you will suffer retribution for hurting the mountain god."

Surrounded by the villagers, Yuanzhen was sweating on his forehead, and he kept explaining, but no one believed him at all.

There was even an old man who picked up a rock on the ground and threw it at Yuan Zhen.

However, just as these old people became more and more excited, the sound of "bang!" made the surroundings instantly quiet.

I saw Zhao Ke coming out of the thatched shed with a shotgun, an old man fell to the ground and was shot in the head by Zhao Ke.

The strong smell of blood diffused in the air, and everyone looked at the corpse on the ground dumbfounded, only to see Zhao Ke raised the shotgun in his hand: "I'll count to three, get out immediately."

Seeing this, an old woman became anxious immediately, pointed at Zhao Ke and cursed: "You..."

She couldn't finish her sentence, "Bang!", Zhao Ke blocked all the rest of her words with a shotgun.

"1!"

With a cold face, Zhao Ke pointed the shotgun at the rest of the people and said, "2"

"Run!"

After being pointed at by a shotgun, someone finally came back to their senses. The two bloody corpses on the ground had already told them that this group of people in front of them was not a reasonable person.

Seeing the crowd disperse in a hurry, Zhao Ke put away the shotgun in his hand.

"you!"

Yuan Zhen was also a little stupid, he didn't expect Zhao Ke to suddenly start killing, glared at Zhao politely speechless, and thought: "How can such a devil get the Buddha's most important treasure!"

But Zhao Ke doesn't care, human nature is always bullying the good and fearing the evil.

No one is afraid of gods who are soft-hearted and soft-hearted. They always feel that gods are protecting them. The more you reason with them, the more they will let you experience what it means to be a rascal.

Only when you show your fangs, they will regard you as a real god.

Zhao Ke ignored Yuan Zhen's eyes, walked up to the old woman and said, "Why are there only old people and young people in your village? Not even women and children?"

There are only old people in this village. If it is because of the war, it should not even have a young child or a woman.

Zhao Ke had noticed it before and didn't think much about it. It was only when he saw all the old men and women standing in front of him just now that he thought of it.

"The mountain... the mountain god said that there should be no young women and children in the village. They must be sent out immediately, and they can't come back until a year later. Otherwise, whoever has a young woman or child will suffer."

The old lady was trembling with fright when asked by Zhao Ke with a cold face, she cooperated surprisingly and told all the news that Zhao Ke wanted to know.

It turned out that just half a month ago, the villagers sent all the young children of the family out.

A kind daimyo is willing to help them, accept these children, and agree to send them back within a year, so now only they, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are left in the village.

"madness!"

Not to mention Zhao Ke, even Yuan Zhen could tell that there was something tricky in it, this matter couldn't stand careful scrutiny, besides, how could the daimyo care about the life and death of these mountain villagers, it took so much effort to transfer so many people go out.

Yuan Zhen inquired, and it turned out that this village was not the only one, and young women and children from several surrounding villages were all transferred out.

"Where did they all go?"

"East... the east side, I heard it is the Oda family!" The old woman mentioned the Oda family.

Yuan Zhen couldn't help thinking: "Oda Nobunaga!"

Today's Oda family is in full swing, and all the famous names in the world know Oda Nobunaga, especially after helping Ashikaga Isho win the position of general, Oda Nobunaga has grown to the extreme, and even part of the power of the shogunate has been controlled by the Oda Tian Nobunaga is in control.

"Could it be that the source of the disaster is the Oda family??"

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but think of what his teacher said, the source of the disaster was in the east.

At the same time, Zhao Ke and Lu Hao also received a reminder of the mission.

[Sub-quest: Find the truth]

[Mission Tip: Find out the truth about the transfer of young men and women in the village. 】

"I must investigate this matter."

Yuan Zhenyi gritted his teeth, this matter is related to the key to his coming out of the mountain this time, and must be investigated clearly.

Zhao Ke didn't care about this side mission at first, but since Yuan Zhen was going, of course he followed.

The two corpses outside were cleaned up hastily by Lu Hao. The three of them set off at dawn. Before leaving, they saw several elderly people in the village standing at the entrance of the village.

Yuan Zhen thought that these villagers would scold them again, and felt a little nervous.

Even thinking of the two lives last night, Yuan Zhen dared not look directly at these villagers.

However, what was unexpected was that when these villagers saw Zhao Ke and the three of them, they actually knelt on the ground and respectfully brought up a basket of eggs.

Especially the older man, when he saw Ke Zhao, he brought up the eggs with a smile on his face, apologizing and bowing repeatedly.

Yuan couldn't help but feel confused, but Zhao Ke knew very well that this was the reality.

These villagers were worried that they would kill again, so they gave gifts, apologized and admitted their mistakes, hoping that Zhao Ke would not pursue them again.

In the final analysis, there is no means of glaring at the Vajra, where is the compassion of the Bodhisattva.

It doesn't make sense to blindly reason. These people have no boundaries between good and evil, only the size of a fist.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhen was a little silent all the way. Obviously, this incident greatly stimulated him. He couldn't figure out why those villagers, who were so afraid of Zhao Ke, would send gifts and send Zhao Ke away respectfully.

Yuanzhen didn't think about this until he entered Gifu County controlled by the Oda family.

Chapter 180 The Mysterious Place

Compared with those villages outside, the prosperity of Gifu County even made Zhao Ke feel that this is the illusion of Kyoto.

There is a lot of traffic, people come and go, it is very lively.

The three of Zhao Ke discussed for a while, and the three went to inquire separately.

In this desolate era, news tends to spread the fastest in three places.

Restaurant, J Courtyard, and Posthouse.

Zhao Ke originally wanted to go to the J Institute, after all, it was there. After all, the J Institute has a unique advantage in collecting information.

Just like the Red Smoke Pavilion in the ghost city.

Don't think it's just a brothel, but as long as you are willing to spend money, any news you want will have clues there.
