However, they had already received the silver from Madam Feng and completed half of the work, but now they suddenly said they couldn't continue.

What should we do with the money spent and the resources consumed?

Should we ask Madam Feng for another copy?

The village chief felt he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Should we let the workers come up with a solution? This address wasn't chosen by the workers either.

Therefore, in the end, it was Madam Feng who suffered the loss. She chose this place without doing any investigation.

Of course, the village chief also understood that investigating this place would be of little use.

If even the village chief didn't know there was a problem, how could the others have known?

Upon hearing this, Su Jiaoniang's innate inquisitive nature kicked in, and she dragged the village chief towards the homestead. Sure enough, they saw a row of skeletons in the courtyard.

There were some weapons next to the remains.

How could there be so many remains of unknown people in such a quiet place as Sweetwater Village?

Lu Wujiu wrapped his handkerchief in his hand and picked up the broken sword from the ground.

Wipe it clean, and you'll see the character "霍" (Huo) engraved on it.

Huo...

The Huo family?

Su Jiaoniang followed Lu Wujiu's gaze and asked, "What's this?"

"The insignia of the Huo family's exclusive weapon of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

After Lu Wujiu finished speaking, he gently placed the broken sword in his hand on the ground.

Judging from the corrosion marks on the broken sword, it had been buried for at least twenty years.

What happened in Tianshui Village more than 20 years ago?

Su Jiaoniang glanced at the skeletons on the ground. Some bones bore marks from being slashed by sharp weapons, while others were broken...

Who are these people?

People from the Huo family?

Or was he killed by the Huo family?
