Chapter 74

Xia Jin looks at the more than ten bodyguards on the scene. Her face is full of seriousness. She solemnly says:

"What you are going to do today may be the first time in your life. I know that some of you will be rejected, but since we have come to this place, we have no choice but to face up to the difficulties and find out the truth. Only in this way can we calm down the dead, look up to the sky and bow down without shame... I will advance and retreat with you. "

Xia Jin's words made those hesitant hearts calm down. Seeing that their faces were no longer as resistant as they were at the beginning, and their momentum also perked up, she told them again:

"In the process of digging out and transporting the corpse, we must shut up, so as to avoid the corpse stinking into the body and causing diseases."

At the end of the speech, we all work together and start to act.

After a while, a corpse was carried out from the pit one after another and put in the straw shed built in advance.

Xia Jin put sesame oil on her nose and ginger slices in her mouth, then went into the shed for inspection with the bodyguard in charge of recording.

She found that some of the skin that could be identified had turned red.

Abdominal bulge, neck, armpit, leg roots, etc., have been rotten almost invisible, as if the minced meat was mixed with the bluish red viscous liquid.

Most of the bodies had lost their scalp and face, their tongue protruded from their mouth, and some even their eyes rolled out of their eyes.

The original eye socket is full of creeping maggots. From time to time, one or two maggots will fall out of it. It's disgusting and terrifying. It's creepy and shivering.

Some of the bodyguards, who were slightly less able to bear it, could not help but vomit on the spot.

More than 100 corpses were highly corrupt. They could not be identified by their faces, nor could they be inspected. They could only be identified as masters or slaves according to the clothes they wore.

In addition to these, Xia Jin did not find any useful clues from the clothes, accessories and other objects of these corpses.

After the inquest, the only thing she can be sure is that these people all died of knife or arrow injuries, and some of the bones of the corpses were bitten by animals.

The knife wound and arrow wound are consistent with the contents of the memorial presented by Zhou Boyi to the imperial court, and they are of no value.

But what about the bite marks?

Everyone felt that something in her brain flashed by quickly. When she wanted to think about it carefully, she couldn't remember it.

After a day's hard work, she ordered the guards to build a 100 person tomb in situ and bury all the corpses, which is not only the soul of the dead, but also for epidemic prevention.

It was getting late. When she got back to the post house, she had to report the situation to Xiao Yiyuan, so she left first.

……

Back to the post house, Xia Jin bathes. After confirming that she doesn't have a bad smell, she hears that Xiao Yiyuan is in the temporary study set up for him in the post house and is busy meeting him.

Outside the study, Xia Jin found that in addition to Lu Hua at the door of the study, there was a broad faced man in a school captain's uniform.

Xia Jin had some impression of this person. It was the captain who was ordered by Zhou Boyi to take her head when she was in the water prison of Houfu yesterday.

I still remember when Lu Hua talked to him, he called him Xu Xiaowei.

No wonder Xiao Yiyuan will suddenly come to the study, Xu Hu appears here, Zhou Boyi must be in the study.

Thinking of the bodies of the sun family, Xia Jin is angry. If she is angry with Boyi last week, she is not sure she can face them calmly.

She turned to leave, but the door of the study suddenly opened from the inside, and Xiao Yiyuan's tall figure came out. At a glance, he saw the beautiful shadow that was fast away. He called her out:

"Xia Jin."

After being called by Xiao Yiyuan, Xia Jin stops, turns to look at him, and says with a slight bow:

"Lord Yi, I'm here to report business to you. Since it's not convenient for you now, I'll come back at another time."

"Well, come in!"

Xia Jin thinks her words have been very clear, but Xiao Yiyuan still keeps her.

The furnishings in the study are simple. Except for some necessary tables, chairs, bookshelves, tea tables, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there are only a few paintings hanging on the wall and a basin of green plants beside the window.

Zhou Boyi, dressed in splendid clothes, sits in the chair on the right side of his desk. He takes a sip of tea from time to time with a cup in his hand. He is so relaxed.

Seeing that Xiao Yiyuan and Xia Jin entered the door one after another, he did not get up to meet Xiao Yiyuan, but questioned Xia Jin.

"Lord Xia, I heard that you led the bodyguard of Lord Yi to the Han Valley in the north of the city to dig up the body of sun's rebellion. It's a long time of agitation. I don't know what Lord Xia wants to do?"

In his voice, there was a kind of insidious warning, as if he regarded himself as the most respected person here.

"The Marquis should know that the purpose of Xiajin's coming to Yongzhou with yiwangye is to help Wangye thoroughly find out the cause of Zhuge and sun's rebellion, so as to calm the doubts of the people in the world. What Xiajin is doing today is just for this purpose."

Xia Jin doesn't know what Xiao Yiyuan and Zhou Boyi said before she came here, and gives an official answer that is correct.

However, Zhou Boyi deliberately finds fault. No matter what answer she gives, he can pick out the thorn.

He put down his tea cup, looked at Xia Jin with a gloomy look, and asked:

"If it's true, why did the Marquis say that he had ordered his bodyguards to build a hundred tombs for the sun's rebellion. He even threatened to find out the truth so as to pacify the dead. "

At this point, Zhou Boyi's voice suddenly shrieked, as if Xia Jin was the heinous sinner.

"What a Xia Jin, the sun's treason was jointly investigated and dealt with by the Marquis and Gao Taiwei, and reported to the imperial court for the record. Do you ignore the law or despise the Marquis when you put this remark?"

When he said this, Xiao Yiyuan's face sank completely.

Xia Jin also understands that Zhou Boyi did not come here to fight with Xiao Yiyuan, but actually intended to take her to make Xiao Yiyuan unhappy.

To put it bluntly, it is to beat cattle across the mountain.

"Lord Hou, Xia Jin has never ignored the law and despised him. Marquis is in an important position. This vast Yongzhou is governed by you. You must understand that the dike of thousands of miles is broken in the ant nest, and the water can carry a boat and also overturn it. This world is the world of all people. Those who serve the king and minister are only serving the common people. "

For the sake of the king, not for the sake of the world, and for the sake of the people, it's better to sell sweet potatoes.

Xia Jin's brain spins at a high speed, arranges her thoughts and goes on

"Today, the rebellion of Zhuge and sun clan not only affects Yongzhou, but also the capital city 300 miles away, and even involves innocent children. Long Yan is furious... Therefore, only by finding out all the details of the rebellion of Zhuge and sun clan one by one and making it known to the public, can we stabilize the hearts of the people in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and use Kang Guotai to rectify the national style!"

Xia Jin's generous words completely shocked Zhou Boyi and Xiao Yiyuan.

However, when Xiao Yiyuan was shocked, he appreciated her more, but Zhou Boyi was more determined to kill her.
