"Could this... be something they did on purpose?"

The other person shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. We used a special lie detector. When we asked them about their current situation, they didn't know anything. But when we asked them where they lived, they blurted out the answer."

"They look like a bunch of illiterate mountain folk."

"But they are particularly knowledgeable about the Dongqing period. They also know that the reign title was Kaihuang, and they know about the administrative system and taxes at that time. In short, they know everything that was closely related to the grassroots people at that time."

"That's so unusual."

"Add to that the way they're dressed, their awkward Mandarin, and the fact that they don't have any household registration, so I suspect they're time travelers!"

"Didn't they dig up a strange tomb up there? That confirms the existence of time travelers."

"By the way, there is a scholar among them."

"I'll go and see him in person." The leader said in a deep voice.

…

An Jingzhi and his colleagues were arranged in a conference room where they had a place to rest, food to eat and water to drink.

But everyone was uneasy, and the group asked them this and that.

"What's going on? Why won't they let us out? Are they going to kill us all?" Aunt Qian said worriedly.

"It's all my fault. I wish I hadn't helped others." Hunter Zhou lowered his head with guilt.

"It's okay. Haven't you noticed that the police here are different from the ones we encountered before?"

Everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed different. In the past, officials would never care about their food and drink, and where would they find such a bright and clean place to sit?

Even when you ask them questions, they are polite.

Even after Zhou the Hunter did that, no one beat him or scolded him.

One villager said naively: "It seems different, huh?"

"But you can't lock us up for no reason, right? We helped people, we didn't do anything bad."

"Did he beat someone to death?"

Hunter Zhou hurriedly explained, "That's impossible! I only used less than 10% of my strength."

"Your strength is quite impressive. You've been hunting for hundreds of years. Even a tiger can't stand up to you."
