Chapter 956

Hearing Xiao Lingfeng's words, Yu Sanniang and Yun Kexin didn't feel lucky at all.

They even vaguely regret it.

If they could go back to the stockade with Zhou at that time, even if they would die, at least they could die with their family and friends. As it is now, their relatives and friends are all dead. They don't know how to live alone. They are only full of despair and grief.

Li lightly asked, "what's the name of those people who claim to be deserters? What do they look like?"

Yu Sanniang said while trying to recall.

"The stronghold leader has been receiving them all the time. I have never contacted them. I only know that there are more than ten of them. The first one looks very young, in his early twenties, very good-looking, a little... A little like a woman. I don't mean his mother chirping. I mean his facial features are exquisite and his skin is white..."

Xiao Lingfeng could not help interrupting: "is his name Yu Jiu?"

Yu Sanniang shook her head: "no, he said his name was Chen Qi."

Xiao Lingfeng still doesn't give up.

He took a picture out of his arms,

"Does that man look like this?"

After unfolding the portrait, he handed it to Yu Sanniang and Yun Kexin and motioned them to have a closer look.

As soon as they saw the man in the portrait, they immediately found a very obvious change in their expression.

Yun Kexin seems to want to say something, but he can't say it. He can only make a sound anxiously.

Yu Sanniang said without hesitation, "it's him! He came to our stockade with a group of people!"

Xiao Lingfeng looked at Li and said softly.

Li Qingyan hasn't seen Yu Jiu and doesn't know what Yu Jiu has done, but he knows that Xiao Lingfeng is here to catch the rebel this time. There should be no other man who can let Xiao Lingfeng carry a portrait with him except the rebel he wants to catch this time.

In other words, those people who pretended to be deserters and entered Dafu stronghold were actually a group of wanted rebels.

Is it because someone in Dafu stronghold accidentally discovered the true identity of the group of rebels who killed the whole stronghold in order to hide their whereabouts?

The truth can make sense, but there is always some uneasiness in my heart.

He felt vaguely that it was not as simple as it seemed.

Xiao Lingfeng asked many more questions.

But Yu Sanniang and Yun Kexin know very little and can provide few clues.

After waiting for two days and one night, they finally brought the people from the government.

Not only did Wuzuo come, but even the local county magistrate came in person and brought more than a dozen constables along the way.

The county magistrate was too tired to rest after a day's journey. As soon as he saw Li Qingyan and Xiao Lingfeng, he hurried forward to bow his hands and was very respectful.

Li Qingyan asked Wuzuo to go to the autopsy quickly.

The county yamen made two works in total, all of which were brought.

They face 120 charred corpses and work under great pressure.

Fortunately, there are captains to help fight, which has helped them reduce a lot of pressure, so as not to let them die on the spot.

After inspection, the death methods of each body were basically the same. They were killed by a knife first, and then burned into charred corpses.

This root is basically the same as Xiao Lingfeng's previous guess.

Li Qingyan calmly analyzed.

"I remember many people in the stockade have dogs.

Even if the family is asleep, the dogs will bark when they hear outsiders break in.

This will certainly disturb the people around you.

No matter how fierce the rebels were, they had only more than a dozen people.

There are more than 100 people in the stockade.

The huge gap in the number of people should not be killed by those rebels so easily, unless... "

Xiao Lingfeng took his words.

"Unless they are drugged and fall asleep, it's no use barking loudly."

Li Qingyan looked at the two busy people and asked in a deep voice.

"Can you find out that these dead were drugged?"

Two people shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they couldn't find out.

Overpowering drugs are not like poisons. Poisons will have obvious residues. Overpowering drugs have no effect except that they will make people sleepy. It is difficult to be tested.

After all the burnt corpses were examined, Li Qingyan personally took the lead in digging pits to make these corpses safe.

It was too late for the temporary custom-made coffins. They had to wrap these bodies in straw mats and bury them underground one by one.

Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang kneel beside the grave.

Yu Sanniang cried and burst into tears.

Yun Kexin just stared at the charred corpses. She seemed to be hit hard, her brain was buzzing, and she had a very unreal feeling.

She hoped all this was false.

She wished she had just had a nightmare.

When she woke up, she could see her mother and the elders and friends in the stockade.

But the cry of Yu Sanniang kept reminding her.

It's true.

Their home is gone.

Their relatives and friends are gone.

Overnight, they lost everything, leaving only these dark and twisted charred corpses in front of them.

When Li Qingyan was ready to carry Zhou's body for burial, Yun Kexin suddenly returned to his mind.

She jumped up and hugged Zhou's body. She refused to give up her life and death. Her tears fell down and couldn't help crying.

She has no father, and her mother is her last relative in the world.

But now even the last relatives are gone.

Great grief swept over and swallowed up her reason.

She doesn't want to be separated from her mother. She wants to be with her mother forever!

Li Qingyan gently hugged her and comforted her again and again.

Even if her mother is gone, she still has him.

He will become her family, always accompany her, take care of her, protect her, become the pillar of her life and support a new world for her.

Yun Kexin's mood calmed down little by little.

Her fingers slowly loosened.

Li Qingyan gave his followers a look.

Knowing this, the attendants immediately wrapped Zhou's body in straw mats, carefully lifted it up and put it into the pit.

The pit was dug by Li Qingyan himself. It was very deep to ensure that the beasts in the mountain would not dig out the body again.

The attendants began to push earth into the pit.

Seeing Zhou gradually buried in the soil, Yun Kexin thought that he would never see his mother again in his life, and his grief became more and more intense.

She wants those people to stop. She wants to see her mother again.

She wanted to call her mother herself.

Zhou's greatest wish was to hear his daughter call her mother.

She didn't hear it before she died. At least... At least she can do it after she dies.

Yun Kexin opened his mouth and tried his best to shout.

However, they can only shout out difficult monosyllabic stanzas.

"Ah... Ah!"

Li Qingyan held her tighter and comforted her silently.

Cloud Kexin's vision has been completely blurred by tears and can't see anything clearly.

But she's still trying again and again.

I don't know how many times she tried, she finally shouted the long suppressed cry.

"Mother!"
