Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

This smell is definitely not the smell of home, but the same as Baiji Pharmacy, it smells like burnt.

Compared with Baiji Pharmacy, the smell from Daze Village is stronger.

Hang Chi~~

The little donkey sneezed and stopped, raised its front hooves slightly, shook its head and screamed "hiccup...hiccup", obviously frightened by something.

Guo Ye went to take a closer look at the faint dawn light, his face turned pale instantly, and his heart twitched violently involuntarily.

corpse,

It was full of corpses, and there were all kinds of corpses lying here and there on the small roads in the village.

Men and women, old and young, women and children, all died horribly, their clothes were torn apart by sharp knives, and blood flowed all over the place.

What's more, even the intestines were pulled out, scattered all over the ground like a winding mountain road...

God!

As a human being in two lifetimes, Guo Ye had never seen such a tragic situation before. He tried his best to control his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, and cold sweat continued to flow from his forehead and temples.

Guo Ye thought, why didn't he see Zaoban's brother?

Guo Ye drove the little donkey to the end of Daze Village - his home.

Running all the way, there were horrific corpses lying on the road. They were all the corpses of the villagers of Daze Village. Some of them knew each other, some of them didn’t.

Beast, I will definitely chop you into pieces.

As soon as Guo Ye rushed to the door of his house, there was a government servant leaning against the gate of Guo's fence, but unfortunately, a hole the size of a fist was pierced in his chest—he died.

Guo Ye felt more and more ominous, and helped the dead brother down from the courtyard gate, and laid him down on the ground.

With a squeak, the courtyard door was pushed open, and another Zaoban brother was hacked to death on the ground with random knives, his eyes were bulging, his facial features were distorted, and he died with regret.

boom!

Suddenly, the thatched hut where my father and mother used to live was kicked open from the inside out, and a man with a shoulder pole jumped out of it. He hit him with a stick in the sky and shouted: "Eat me with a stick!"

Guo Ye had sharp eyes and quick hands, he leaned back and used a donkey roll to barely avoid the opponent's sneak attack, and took a closer look...

It was Cheng Erniu.

But now this kid's eyes are red and murderous, his face is pale and his legs are trembling, and he is obviously a little exhausted.

Guo Ye hurriedly got up and snatched the shoulder pole from Cheng Er Niu's hands, and the sound of thunder woke him up: "Er Niu, it's me, I'm Guo Ye!"

A blast!

Awakened Cheng Erniu, who was a little confused, the kid slowly looked at Guo Ye with red eyes, and grinned: "Brother Guo, you've come."

boom!

After finishing speaking, Cheng Erniu instantly became weak and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, many people came out of the room, including Pang Feihu, Zhu Pengchun, Gan Zhushou, Ruan Laosan, and several other yamen servants from Zaoban.

However, none of the people walked out independently, but tremblingly came out of the house with each other's support.

Guo Ye took a closer look, and found that everyone was wounded, and none of them was intact. Even Zhu Pengchun, a fat man, had his arm cut, and randomly took a piece of clothing to wrap the wound around the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Wow……"

A voice with a hesitant crying voice came from the house in a tender voice.

Before Guo Ye could react, a weak figure rushed into his arms, and it turned out to be his younger sister Guo Xiaoman.

Guo Xiaoman hugged Guo Ye's back fiercely and cried loudly: "Brother, brother, you scared Xiaoman to death. Mother hasn't woken up yet, woo woo, save mother."

When Guo Ye heard that something happened to his old lady, his expression immediately changed. Zhu Pengchun, who was standing in front of him, held his wound and bared his teeth, persuading him, "Don't worry, little brother Guo, Mr. Tang was just overly frightened and fainted."

The old lady fainted?

Phew, Guo Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed, fortunately, fortunately, the luck of misfortune.

The whole village was slaughtered, and only the younger sister and the old lady survived. If the brothers from Zaoban came late, the lives of the old lady and the younger sister would probably be lost.

Seeing everyone's sluggish expressions, Guo Ye tightly hugged Guo Xiaoman in his arms, and asked Pang Feihu who was supported by Gan Zhushou: "Boss, have you seen who the murderer in Tucun is?"

Chapter 39 How is it possible?

Mountain bandit!

On the way back to the county seat to report the tragedy in Daze Village, Pang Feihu whispered about the murderer who massacred the village.

It turned out to be bandits with at least thirty or more people. Looking at their methods of massacring the village and the weapons they were equipped with, either big knives or giant axes, they must be a group of habitual bandits.

Moreover, Pang Feihu said that if it wasn't for the bandits thinking that the county government still had a large number of well-armed and strong soldiers coming one after another, Pang Feihu believed that in today's battle, the brothers of Zaoban would give their lives here in Daze village.

Guo Ye couldn't help being afraid for a while as he listened.

However, the ten miles and eight villages in Longxi County have always been peaceful, and there are no bandits at all. How could there be such a group of cruel bandits for no reason?

And my deduction is correct, the arson case of Baiji drug store and the massacre case of Daze village must be for the same purpose.

This purpose is to completely cover up the secret that Old Ninth Uncle accidentally encountered, so that it will not be known to the world.

To be able to massacre all seven people in Baiji Medicine Shop and nearly three hundred unarmed old, young, women and children in Daze Village for a secret, it seems like a big secret.

But judging from the time of committing the crime, the mountain bandits who massacred the village and the suspects in the arson case were not the same group of people.

Could it be that someone in the county is cooperating with the bandits inside and outside, and is in collusion with each other?

Guo Ye carried his mother and younger sister to the donkey, walked on foot and led the donkey, and slowly entered the county town with Pang Feihu and other brothers from the squad.

As soon as he entered the city, Pang Feihu ran straight to the mansion of County Wei Gu Dezhao without delay. He had to report the tragedy in Daze Village to his immediate superior as soon as possible.

This case was really too important to be accepted by a small team leader like him.

Guo Ye, on the other hand, told his brothers to go home early and rest. Maybe starting tomorrow, the entire Longxi county government will start to feel uneasy.

After Zhu Pengchun, Gan Zhushou and others supported Cheng Erniu who collapsed and fainted, and the other yamen servants left, he also led his younger sister and old lady back in the direction of Yau Ma Hutong.

After returning home, he took his father back from Wang Zhi's oil shop, arranged his father and mother to rest in his master bedroom, and arranged his younger sister who had already fallen asleep to rest in another side room, while he arrived at the Xiaoyuan sits on a rocking chair and rests.

It's not so much a rest, it's more like trying to clear up the doubts and guesses that are full of mind.

At this time, it was dawn, and the sky was hazy and bright. The watchman knocked on the bamboo board to remind the hour, and it was already five watch.
