These shoes are much better than their cloth shoes, so the men just want to stop wasting them, take them off and take them back so that their wives can wash them and still wear them.

Afraid that Li Qingxiu would not agree, they even came to report to Li Qingxiu.

But Li Qingxiu thought it didn't matter, as long as they liked it, he didn't forget to ask them to search the soldiers for any money, and whoever found the money belonged to them.

When the men heard this, they immediately beamed with joy. They immediately took action and carefully searched the bodies of the soldiers.

After a while, Li Datian was seen shouting happily: "I found it! This soldier has ten taels of silver on him!"

Li Ashui said with great envy: "Wow! There are actually ten taels. Uncle Tian, ​​you must be so lucky!"

Li Datian smiled proudly and said: "Hehehe, don't envy me, you can get it if you search diligently, and maybe you can get more than me."

Seeing this, the others also accelerated their search speed, not sparing any soldier's body.

Even Li Zheng rolled up his sleeves and searched Yu Xiao who was next to Lin Zhe. Since he was a popular servant next to Mr. Lin, he should have a lot of money on him.

After searching for a while, Li Zheng took a purse in Yu Xiao's arms. When he opened it, he found that there were more than fifty taels inside.

Li was overjoyed, and quickly put the purse into his arms while no one noticed him.

He unwrapped Yu Xiao's package again. This solution made Li Zheng even more happy, because there were only a few ordinary clothes inside the package.

There were also three silver notes worth one hundred taels each, as well as several jade pendants and gold bracelets that looked very valuable.

Li was quickly folding up the banknotes and just about to put them into his arms when he heard a man calling him from the other side.

"Li Zheng, that paper is of no use. Let's find some money. Only with money can we buy more paper for Scholar Li Xuan."

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly and responded with a guilty conscience: "My Xuan'er likes it." After saying that, he stuffed the banknote directly into his arms.

The man didn't say anything after hearing this. He lowered his head and continued to dig through the corpses for money.

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. The man had never seen the world, so he didn't understand that he had banknotes in his hand. He thought it was just a few pieces of ordinary paper.

Li Zheng suddenly felt a strong gaze staring at the back of his head. He looked back stiffly and saw Li Qingxiu resting not far away.

Li Zheng's heart tightened. Li Qingxiu must have watched the scene just now thoroughly.

Just as he was about to say something, Li Qingxiu grinned at him and nodded, then turned to look away.

Li Zheng had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and continued to look for money.

Li Qingxiu naturally watched that scene thoroughly, but she said that whoever finds the money belongs to him. As for how much he finds, it depends on his luck and ability.

If you can get so many good things just by looking through the package, then the package in your storage compartment must contain even more good things.

Half an hour later, the men had basically finished searching the bodies of the soldiers, and everyone gained a lot.

Although some soldiers had no silver on them, most of them had more or less broken silver on them.

Li Qingxiu also asked the men to take off the soldiers' armor so that they could use it for themselves.

The men's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all went to unbutton the soldiers' armor, and even took away the weapons they were wearing.

Li Zheng looked at the corpse of the soldier with only his underwear left. The previous joy immediately faded away, leaving only worry in his heart.

He found Li Qingxiu and asked, "Qingxiu girl, what are your plans for these soldiers?"

Li Qingxiu, who was in a good mood, smiled and said: "Of course we should destroy the body and destroy all traces, and let the uncles take it and burn it."

Burn! Li Zheng's expression changed greatly. Since ancient times, people have been buried in peace after death. Cremation will make the soul of a soldier never rest in peace and never be reincarnated.

Although Li Zheng was a well-informed man, he could not help but feel frightened.

He asked in a trembling voice: "Pretty girl, is this... is this really appropriate? What if their souls are never reincarnated and come to us for revenge?"

Li Qingxiu knew that the ancients believed that cremation was a very cruel thing to the deceased, which would cause the soul of the deceased to have no peace and be unable to reincarnate.

She explained patiently: "Li Zhengbo, I know this is a bit excessive. However, we have to consider the safety of the entire Lihua Valley.

The life and death of King Zhao's second son are unknown. King Zhao will definitely send someone to investigate if their bodies are discovered by the government.

When the time comes, no matter whether we are the murderers or not, the perverted King Zhao will definitely let us be buried with Second Young Master Lin.

So we have to burn all these corpses and clean them up. As for whether their souls will be reincarnated if their souls are not at peace, there is still a mountain god suppressing it, so what are they afraid of? "

When Li Zheng heard that he would be taken away to be buried with Mr. Lin, cold sweat broke out on Li Zheng's back. "Will it be okay if you burn it?"

Li Qingxiu analyzed to Li Zheng: "There is no guarantee whether there will be trouble, but we can do it without any evidence. We can create the phenomenon that they have never been here at all. As for there are so many mountains here, where do they go? Who can know?"

Li Zheng pondered for a while and decided: "Okay, now that things are like this, for the safety of the entire Lihua Valley, we can only do this."

Li Qingxiu nodded: "Yes, we still have a lot of carts that can be hitched to horses, so that the horses can transport the bodies to dig pits and burn them in distant and hidden places. And this matter must be done as soon as possible."

Just then a few men came back again driving a group of horses. Li Zheng decided not to use a cart and directly carried the body on horseback to a hidden place to deal with it.

When the other men learned that Li Qingxiu and Li Zheng had decided to burn the corpses of the soldiers, they looked at each other and felt extremely uneasy.

Some people even advised Li Zheng to dig a big hole and bury all the soldiers' corpses together.

But Li Zheng firmly disagreed. He even recounted what Li Qingxiu said. After finishing speaking, he asked everyone if they wanted to take the risk of being buried with him.

Li Zheng's words plunged everyone into silence and fear. Indeed, if the bodies of these soldiers were not disposed of, the consequences would be disastrous once they were discovered by the government.

In the end, everyone decided to follow Li Qingxiu's suggestion. They carried the soldiers' bodies onto their horses, and then drove the horses toward the mountains nearby.

Along the way, the men were silent, and now their moods were complicated.

They could only comfort themselves in their hearts that it was the right thing to do, and they could only do it for the sake of their families.

The men walked through two mountains and finally found a place that was secluded enough. So they began to dig holes and put the soldiers' corpses in one by one.

Then, they lit the torch and threw it directly onto the corpse in the pit. Soon, the pit was blazing with flames.

Looking at the burning flames and smelling the disgusting smell, everyone's hearts were filled with complicated emotions.

They hope that this fire can cover up everything and restore peace to the Ewha Valley.
