Chapter 107: Massacre of the Village!
Cymbals! Cymbals! Cymbals!
Even though Shen Chaoyan leaned back desperately to get away from the sound source, she was still dizzy from the sound of the small cymbals.
..@_@|||||..
"Thunder! Thunder!"
Li Ma, who was awakened by the cymbals, jumped up from the bed like a fathead fish.
She looked at the shadow standing at the head of the bed, and suddenly shuddered. She raised her hand and pointed at Shen Chaoyan's nose, "You, you, you dog slave, what are you crazy about? Do you believe that I will report you to the master?"
Shen Chaoyan looked at the trembling flesh on her face, picked up the embroidery needle for sewing the soles of shoes, and stabbed her raised hand fiercely.
It went straight through her palm.
"Ah!"
Nanny Li's facial features were twisted in pain, and she howled on the spot.
"Nanny Li, what's wrong with you?"
Several maids beside her heard her screams like a slaughtered pig, and immediately glared at Shen Chaoyan, "You guard are so bold, do you know who our master is?"
Shen Chaoyan played with another embroidery needle in her hand, "Oh? Who is your master? Tell me!"
If they could introduce themselves, she would not have to use the heavenly book to look them up one by one.
"My master is Pingyuan Hou! You came here in the middle of the night to make trouble, and tomorrow my master will chop off your head!"
The old lady of Pingyuan Hou's family followed the father of the previous emperor to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions. Later, she was conferred a title, and now it is the third generation.
Shen Chaoyan really didn't expect that the seemingly non-confrontational Marquis Pingyuan was actually Sikong Yu's man.
This court seems peaceful, but in fact there are many factions, and many people have always been on the side of King Jing.
Now that the true face of Moxiang Village, this purgatory on earth, has been revealed, it is time for a major change in the court.
However, it is far from enough to rely on the Heavenly Book to find out the party members of King Jing. She needs more concrete evidence.
[Heavenly Book, is there any evidence in Moxiang Village that can identify those officials?]
Heavenly Book: [Yes, but it's a bit far from here. In the courtyard in the southwest corner of Moxiang Village, there is a list of all the officials who have been to Moxiang Village, as well as the letters secretly exchanged between King Jing Sikong Yu and the ministers in the court. 】
Shen Chaoyan: [Then let's quickly find a way to get the letter and the list! 】
Tianshu: [Host, it's bad! There is still one person in Moxiang Village who has not been poisoned by the incense! 】
Shen Chaoyan was shocked and couldn't help but frowning: [Impossible! I just confirmed on the navigation that all the night patrol sentries have been dealt with by my brother and me. Those sentries who are resting have lit incense in their rooms. Who is so capable that he can escape the medicinal properties of the incense? 】
Tianshu: [It's Qi Yingmo. He was injured by your brother in Yuhua Temple a few days ago. Later, he found an excuse to take a long vacation and secretly came to Moxiang Village to recuperate. In order to hide his identity, he has been eating and living with the sentries during this time. Not long after your brother lit the incense, the medicinal properties of the incense had not yet taken effect, and Qi Yingmo got up at night.
The noise you made when you hit the cymbals just now was too loud. Qi Yingmo and the others lived not far from here, and when they heard the noise, the effects of the aphrodisiac in their bodies dissipated. After he returned to his room, he saw that he couldn't wake up the others, and guessed that everyone might have been poisoned by the aphrodisiac. So, he went to that yard as soon as possible, intending to destroy all the evidence! 】
[No! The evidence must not be destroyed! Anyone who hurt these children deserves to die! ]
Shen Chaoyan thought, looking up at the old maids who were still yelling at her.
She didn't have time to waste with this old thing!
Shen Chaoyan acted decisively, took out a few pills from her arms, stuffed them into the mouths of these maids, and forced them to swallow them.
Several maids felt something sliding down their throats, their faces changed, "You, you, you, what did you give us?"
"Poison! You'd better be quiet and stay here. Anyone who dares to run around will be poisoned!"
Shen Chaoyan said, turned around and ran outside.
At this time, Shen Yushu had already released a signal flare, and the officials ambushed outside Moxiang Village immediately took action and rushed into the village to rescue the children.
Shen Yushu had just counted the number of children when he saw his sister rushing out in a hurry.
"Yan'er, where are you going?"
"Brother! Qi Yingmo is here too! He wants to destroy the evidence that Sikong Yu kidnapped these children! I have to stop him!"
Shen Yushu immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
"But what about these children?"
"Dad and my second brother will see the signal flare and will be here soon. They just need to wait here for rescue."
"Okay! Let's go together!"
Shen Yushu followed without hesitation.
The brother and sister hurried to the yard in the southwest corner.
They ran very fast and were getting closer and closer to the yard.
However, at this moment, Shen Chaoyan discovered that thick smoke was billowing above the yard.
Her pupils constricted, "It's on fire! Qi Yingmo, that bastard, actually wanted to set fire to destroy the evidence!"
Shen Yushu's brows tightened, "Yan'er, big brother will go over first!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and found that the yard where the children were staying was also on fire.
Then, the second yard, the third yard...
more yards were set on fire.
Heavenly Book: [Host, Qi Yingmo shot down a rocket and set many surrounding yards on fire.]
Shen Chaoyan swept her eyes and saw that many yards began to smoke, her pupils shrank sharply, "Big brother, look! That yard is on fire too! And there!"
Last time at Yuhua Temple, Qi Yingmo went back and burned the wound with fire in order to clear himself of suspicion.
This time, in order to remove Sikong Yu from this matter, he set fire to burn down the whole village!
Shen Yushu also stopped, as if he had made up his mind, "Yan'er, we have to put out the fire and save the child!"
The evidence is dead, but the person is alive.
Qi Yingmo made a feint to the east and attacked in the west just to make them give up looking for the evidence in the yard!
They really had no choice but to save the child.
There will always be a chance to find evidence later, but if the children's lives are gone, they will be gone forever!
Shen Chaoyan looked at the yards filled with thick smoke and gritted his teeth, "Okay, go put out the fire and save the children!"
The aura of the male protagonist of this comic is just like an indestructible cockroach!
Damn the comic author!
Almost!
Just one step! They can send Sikong Yu to the Ministry of Justice!
It's obviously the last step, and they are about to get the evidence, but it was destroyed by a fire!
Not long after, Shen Qingyuan and Shen Linfeng brought the officials to support, and the fire was quickly brought under control.
By the time the officials worked together to put out the fire, those letters and lists of officials had already turned to ashes in the fire.
After cleaning up the mess, Shen Qingyuan ordered the officers to search around Moxiang Village, and unexpectedly found a mass grave of 100 people in the rice fields south of the village.
Countless broken limbs and arms were dug out from the pit, and the bodies piled on top were children aged from a few years old to more than ten years old.
These young bodies were covered with scars and there was hardly a piece of good skin.
It is not difficult to infer how brutally they were abused before they died!
The bodies at the bottom of the pit were of all ages, including the elderly, women and children, and some strong men in their twenties and thirties.
The bodies at the bottom of the pit were already rotten and smelled bad.
According to the judgment of the coroner, they were most likely villagers who originally lived here.
Seeing the tragic state of the dead in the pit, everyone was extremely sad.
These beasts who occupied Moxiang Village were so crazy and outrageous!
They slaughtered the entire village for their own selfish desires!
