Chapter 373 - Searching for People in the Mountain (1)
Chapter 190
After eating it for a few times, Qiu Jinzhi got the locals to take him to the Village Chief's house.
The mayor must have been a high-ranking official who came to his house as a guest. Of course, he was very happy. He was even prepared to kill the hens at home to entertain them, but Qiu Jinzhi rejected him.
Hello, Village Chief, I am not here as a guest today. Today, I want to ask you about the whereabouts of Bai Ke's wife.
The village chief heard Bai Ke's words, "Is this Bai Ke the general guarding Phoenix City?"
Qiu Jinzhi nodded. That's right, that's him. "
The village head sighed and said, "Sigh! "It's fine if we don't talk about this person, but if we talk about this traitor …" The village chief's tone sounded like he was disappointed!
Qiu Jinzhi heard, "Scoundrel selling out the country?"
The village chief nodded: "Yes, after he was captured by the State Jiang's leader, he was also taken away along with his family! So right now, there is no such person in our village. This person is a disgrace to our village, and none of our family members want to acknowledge him. I advise adults not to look for him anymore, he is the trash of our State Beizhou, the scum! "
Qiu Jinzhi listened and frowned. This was completely different from the Bai Ke he had interacted with before.
Qiu Jinzhi asked: "Did you see how Bai Ke looked when he was still alive?" When he was first here, Bai Ke was already rumored to be dead, but when he reached the Village Chief's house, he had already changed his way of speaking.
Because there was no way to investigate the truth of the matter.
Everyone had their own opinions now.
Qiu Jinzhi said: "But the officials have already confirmed that he is dead."
"Without even seeing a corpse, who can be sure that he's really dead?" The village chief said.
"Yeah, there's not even a corpse, who can guarantee that he's really dead?" This was because there were no reliable sources of information. Furthermore, the Bai Family has served the Country for generations and generations, so it would definitely not do such a thing. "
The village chief retorted: "In our village, there are people who have seen Bai Ke among the Enemy forces's Camp. adults, you don't have to defend Bai Ke, people like him will take revenge! "
"Qiu Jinzhi decided to confirm it again. Who saw it? "
"It's the Liu Er at the village entrance. Bai Ke crippled one leg. He came back to tell us. and was even treated as a guest of honor by the State Jiang. "
Indeed, with Bai Ke's many years of combat experience, no matter which Country it was, they all hoped to change his mind. If he was allowed to live, he would become a sharp blade in their hands that could sweep through everything in the world.
Qiu Jinzhi frowned and turned to look at Zheng Li.
"Zheng Li naturally understood the meaning of Qiu Jinzhi's eyes. I'm in no hurry to go back. I'll write a letter to the Emperor. "
Qiu Jinzhi turned and look at the village chief.
When the Village Chief heard the tone of their conversation, he knew that the two of them had reached the level of Sacred Will. It could be seen that their positions were very high, at least much higher than his.
Qiu Jinzhi asked, "Then where did his wife and children go? Did he take them away? "
"No, she just moved away. His parents don't want to see her, and now they don't know where she lives." The village chief was big.
Qiu Jinzhi nodded: "Okay, then when did you see Bai Ke?" Since someone said Bai Ke, then Qiu Jinzhi's mind would only know how to explain himself to them if Bai Ke really did not die. Even though Qiu Jinzhi had found a reason why he was accommodating to Ning Shi at the time of the negotiations, he still did not know if it was as he had guessed. If Bai Ke was really in the State Jiang, then he really had to make a trip to the State Jiang.
Of course, they had to change their identity and go to the State Jiang.
Qiu Jinzhi and Zheng Li followed the village chief's instructions and went to find Liu Er at the village entrance. Liu Er's house was a loving adobe house.
Liu Er was short, wearing hemp clothes and was dark and thin. The eyes were as small as mung beans, and did not match well with him. With such a small body, he was chopping firewood with an axe in the room.
The village chief arrived in front of Liu Er's house and used his hand to pat his house's dilapidated fence. Liu Er, two adults are looking for you. "
Liu Er who was in the courtyard chopping firewood paused for a moment with the axe in his hand, but he very quickly continued to chop the wood on the ground.
