Chapter 326: Burning the whole village to death is a good idea

When others arrived, they saw several men dressed like village thugs lying in a pool of blood. Their deaths were even more tragic than that of the killers not long ago.

When everyone saw An Xin digging a hole to bury something, they thought she was too merciful.

Who would have thought that these beasts could actually...

Some soldiers saw the men on the ground and chopped them a few more times with their swords.

Then they hurriedly threw these broken limbs into the mountains. I'm afraid that these people will soon become food for the wild beasts in the mountains.

Everyone was silent throughout the rest of the journey.

That day, An Xin led his team to the city gate of Nanyang Prefecture. The guards watching the city saw their long team, with mules and horses in the middle dragging bulging items covered with oilcloth.

Judging from their attire, the supplies on the carts pulled by mules and horses, and the guards at the city gate, one could roughly guess that An Xin and his team were the ones sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief.

I hurried over to ask, and it was true.

He looked up at the long line of people guarding bags full of supplies, confirming that An Xin and his group were sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, and the team was easily allowed to enter the city.

I just wonder why they have pieces of cloth on their mouths and noses.

An Xin led the team into the city and looked at the empty streets. Occasionally, one or two people walked hurriedly with hunched backs.

The bright signs that used to be hung on shop doors to attract business have now faded and are swaying in the wind, looking extremely desolate.

Occasionally, you can see one or two people lying in the corner, either on the ground or leaning against the wall, with their eyes closed and not moving, and it is unclear whether they are alive or dead.

When An Xin saw this scene, her brows furrowed, realizing that the epidemic in Nanyang Prefecture was more serious than she had imagined.

Normally, when checking at the city gate, the squad leader should have sent someone to report to the government office. At this time, even if the Nanyang prefect did not come to greet them in person, he should have sent officials to pick them up.

But at this time, a group of people came to the gate of the prefectural yamen, and only an official named Guo Xun hurried out to greet An Xin and others after hearing the report.

When An Xin asked Li Ziyu, the official named Guo Xun's eyes flickered, his words hesitated, and he began to talk about irrelevant things.

But An Xin was not someone who could be easily fooled by a few words, so when he was about to be taken to the reception hall of the government office, he suddenly stopped.

He stared at the government official Guo Xun with a sharp look in his eyes, and said in a lazy tone, but with a strong force that could not be refused, "I don't like people who are smart, talk around the issue, and play dumb.

I have a bad temper, so I advise you to think carefully before answering. "

An Xin drew the Jade Dragon Whip from his waist, swung it in his hand, and the bright yellow tassels swayed from side to side. Anyone who was not blind would know that this thing must be a gift from the emperor.

As the magistrate of Nanyang, Guo Xun had heard something about the affairs in the capital. When he saw that the person sent by the court this time was a female official, he guessed An Xin's identity.

When he saw what An Xin took out, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He stared at the whip in her hand in fear and took a step back, knowing that even if he was beaten to death by this imperial whip, it would be a waste of his life.

Guo Xun began to think that An Xin had just arrived and didn't know anything about the situation here, so he wanted to send them to the inn to receive officials with just a few words.

Then they arranged their own people to go and receive the relief supplies they had escorted.

In his eyes, women are synonymous with stupidity. As for the questions An Xin asked him, Guo Xun didn't want to answer and felt that he didn't have to answer.

But obviously he underestimated An Xin's methods and temper.

When he felt a burning pain spreading through his senses, An Xin had already raised the Jade Dragon Whip again.

"Please calm down, sir. I was stupid and didn't explain myself clearly just now." Guo Xun's eyes flashed with gloom, but he still spoke wisely: "Sir Li took people to Xujia Village~"

An Xin held back Liu Boxing, who was about to take action, and looked at Guo Xun, who was hesitant in speaking and had more to say.

He whipped him again without any mercy.

"Ah!" Guo Xun rubbed the place where he was whipped and no longer dared to hide it.

An Xin did not miss the flash of viciousness in Guo Xun's eyes, but since she dared to take action, she was not afraid of this person holding a grudge against her.

Upon learning that Li Ziyu was going to stop the Nanyang prefect from taking people to burn Xujia Village, where the epidemic was severe, An Xin solemnly instructed Liu Boxing:

"Leave half of the soldiers here to guard the relief supplies, and you take the other half with me."

"yes."

An Xin turned around and took two steps, then looked back at Guo Xun and said, "Take him with you."

Liu Boxing arranged his deputy general Yuan Feng to guard the supplies, then he carried Guo Xun by the collar to the gate of the government office, threw him on his horse and asked for the direction of Xujiazhuang.

Everyone put on masks and moved forward quickly as ordered. An Xin was afraid that if they went too late, not only would Li Ziyu be in danger, but the lives of the people in that village would also be in danger.

After leaving the city, An Xin learned the approximate location of Xujiazhuang from Guo Xun, so he took Zheng Xiaoling and a dozen horseback guards to go ahead and check out the situation.

Liu Boxing pressed Guo Xun and the team to follow.

An Xin and his companions followed the direction indicated by Guo Xun and rode their horses along the winding country roads. After about half an hour, they saw a village in the distance.

And at the entrance of the village surrounded by trees and stones.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Many officers and soldiers were pointing their weapons at the villagers who were trying to break out.

An Xin saw from afar that there were two groups of people there, who seemed to be confronting each other and arguing about something.

As An Xin and the others got closer and closer, those people heard the noise and turned around to look over. An Xin saw a familiar tall figure in the crowd and she knew she was not taking the wrong path.

Li Ziyu turned around and saw the man sitting on the horse looking at him leisurely. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Headmaster, you are here."

An Xin raised her eyebrows and looked down at Li Ziyu, who was becoming more angular, tough and handsome as he grew older.

She couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up. Such an outstanding person was her student. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't proud.

"Yes, here I come."

An Xin turned sideways and looked to the other side.

Nanyang prefect Fang Lin saw An Xin looking at him with cold eyes.

When he heard Li Ziyu call the woman on the horse "Shanzhang" just now, he guessed that An Xin was the female official who was said to have taught many students.

However, the prefect of Nanyang and his subordinate, the judge Guo Xun, were like animals in the same trough, both officials who looked down on women.

He looked up at An Xin and Zheng Xiaoling, whose half face was destroyed, and squinted at them as if he saw something dirty.

When Fang Lin saw that An Xin was wearing purple official attire, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he still walked over unwillingly and bowed.

"I don't know if you have come here to welcome me. I am sorry for the inconvenience."

An Xin looked at the soldiers and villagers confronting each other inside and outside the village and asked, "What's going on?"

"This..." Nanyang prefect Fang Lin looked at An Xin with eyes as clear as cold stars, as if they could see through people's hearts. He didn't dare to tell the truth for a moment.

Li Ziyu looked at him coldly and replied quietly, "Most people in Xujia Village were infected with the plague this time, but some people were not.

When Prefect Fang heard about this, he brought people to burn down the entire village, under the pretext that this would reduce the number of people infected with the plague."

An Xin nodded, as if agreeing, and said: "Well, his idea is very good~"

Everyone was stunned. The villagers of Xujiazhuang glared at An Xin, and they looked like they wanted to rush out and eat her alive.
