After Yuan Run finished speaking, seeing that Li Yunyan was still a little hesitant, he said, "If you are still afraid, you might as well ask these people for documents to check your handwriting, so that you can do it better. It's just that there is a slight difference. It's better to do it secretly, secretly." Let the wind out."

Li Yunyan curled her lips, and was about to say, "Who's afraid?", but Ruan Yuzhu rushed ahead of her and said, "I'll go to Cuihualou in the afternoon, too."

Yuan Run said: "Leave this to Li Butou. I will go to the funeral for me in the afternoon."

Ruan Yuzhu was startled: "Funeral?"

Yuan Rundao: "I forgot to tell you last night. Tens of thousands of people died in the city last time. The cemetery outside the city couldn't bury it, so a burial mound was built in the forest in the south of the city. But this time the enemy attacked at night. , we didn’t die many people, only some of them were buried in the forest in the south of the city, and some of them were going to be buried in the cemetery. I should attend, but I’m not feeling well, so I’ll let you go for me .”

It wasn't that Yuan Run was disrespectful to the deceased, nor was she lazy, but what Qing Huai said last night made sense, if she left the county government, danger would still be everywhere, and she should take precautions to minimize trouble.It won't be too late to go out after she has successfully exercised her body and recovered her ability to protect herself.

However, burying the dead in the city defense battle is also a worthwhile and should be done, and Ruan Yuzhu has no excuses. As for Yuan Run, as the head of a county, it is true that he should not leave the county lightly.So in the afternoon, Lu Chao took a group of soldiers and transported thousands of corpses out of the city.

To be honest, there were more than a thousand casualties on the north side of the city, but most of them were wounded, with less than 400 dead, while the east side of the city was miserable, with nearly 2000 dead and even more injured.It's not that Lu Chao's command was wrong, but that he really put the main attack direction on the east gate.It was only because of Yuan Run's unexpected appearance in the north of the city that the enemy made a temporary adjustment and wanted to rely on a small number of elite soldiers to carry out the beheading operation, but they did not expect that Ruan Yuzhu beheaded in turn.

Originally, this kind of thing should be done by the county magistrate, but the new county magistrate has not been appointed yet, so Lu Chao can only do this.He is Yunlai's county lieutenant and the general who leads troops to resist the enemy, so it is most appropriate for him to bury the dead soldiers and people.For fear of the enemy's light cavalry attacking, I also prepared horses on my side, and all the only fifty horses in the city were pulled up, and everyone would get on the horses and leave whenever there was a disturbance.If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Run and Li Yunyan performed well in this war and were worthy of entrustment, Lu Chao himself would not have wanted to come here.

However, there are only a few people who can ride horses, and they are the soldiers brought by Lu Chao, that is, a dozen or so cavaliers can ride horses, and the rest are infantry. At least fifty horses were collected, and the ones that can be used as military use are probably at most twenty. If the rest really encounter the enemy, they will be shocked when they hear the bugle horns and the shouts of killing.

But at any rate, the corpse cart was dragged by horses, not by humans, so the speed was much faster. After leaving the city in the morning, they arrived at the destination just after noon, and then dug graves and buried the corpses.

It is impossible to erect a monument for the time being, so let’s erect a wooden plank in front of the grave and write the name on it, and repair the tomb after the war.The soldiers and civilians at the lowest level were all mixed up in one pit. Of course, some family members of the deceased were willing to pay to dig a pit alone.

Yuan Run's bottom line in this area is also getting lower and lower, and he will never let go of what he can get.

Of course, if you dare to go out of the city to get it yourself, it's up to you - Dr. Tong buried his daughter here, and he went out of the city to bury it by himself. Although this grave is just a random pile of dirt, at least there is a monument.

After paying homage to the soldiers and common people here, Ruan Yuzhu went to Miss Tong's grave to pay her respects—although she is not familiar with her, but this time the case has something to do with her. If there is any relationship, please ask her to bless her in the spirit of the sky, so that I can solve the case smoothly!

Although this place can't be said to be beautiful, the woods are considered quiet. When investigating Du's case, Ruan Yuzhu had been here before, and met an old man who was fishing.But now is the war period, even if the old man is still alive, he may not have time to come.

However, treating this place as a cemetery is considered ingenious, and it is also worthy of these dead people, at least they did not bury them together in a mass grave.

Therefore, whether it is Miss Tong or the common people and soldiers, if they can be buried here, it is also worthy of the sentence "deserved death" for them.

Ruan Yuzhu named these graves "Pit No. [-]" and "Pit No. [-]" in her heart, just like the terracotta warriors. This can be regarded as finding some fun in boredom and complaining to herself—Ruan Yuzhu also knows solemnity She shouldn't have this kind of thought at the time, but she still can't fully integrate into this world, unlike Yuan Run, who has a high degree of integration because her soul has passed through the people of this world, and she still has a kind of cold-eyed look Mentality, the feeling of treating everyone here as NPCs in online games.

"Let's go." Lu Chao walked to Ruan Yuzhu's side and said.

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Is it over?"

Lu Chao nodded: "The sacrifice has already been completed, and now the soil is covered. Let's go first. During the war, it is still not safe outside the city."

Ruan Yuzhu saw that Lu Chao led away as a county captain, and thought that I was just a little teacher, so why should I be afraid of following along.They followed to go together, but heard someone arguing behind.

Ruan Yuzhu also stopped his horse, looked back, and saw a few soldiers pushing and shoving, it seemed that there was a dispute, but this was Lu Chao's soldier, it was not appropriate to go forward and ask, so he waited Lu Chao dealt with it.

Lu Chao didn't go forward either, but sent someone to arrest those soldiers.

"What's going on?" Lu Chao also reined in his horse and asked back.

A soldier went over to ask, and came back quickly: "The few people who stayed to fill the soil are unwilling, saying that it is not peaceful here."

"What?" Lu Chao was stunned.

Ruan Yuzhu was also stunned: "What's not peaceful? Are there enemy troops?"

The soldier showed a trace of embarrassment: "No... there is a ghost..."

Ruan Yuzhu and Lu Chao didn't expect this answer, and Lu Chao immediately cursed: "Bastard! The sky is bright and bright, where are the evil spirits and ghosts, who are talking nonsense!"

The soldier raised his chest: "Yes, I'll reprimand them right now!"

Lu Chao said: "Go quickly, anyone who talks about ghosts and gods will be beaten with forty army sticks!"

Ruan Yuzhu also felt that it was funny—as long as there are cemeteries, no matter in ancient times or modern times, there are always all kinds of supernatural legends!The cemetery here has just been opened up, how many people have been buried, and this kind of rumors started to spread!

Lu Chao scolded these worthless subordinates angrily, and then left.All the way back to the county town safely, Lu Chao went to inspect the defense, but Ruan Yuzhu went back to the Yamen alone - the time was not up, and Ruan Yuzhu was also hungry, so he hurried back to the Yamen to fill his stomach.

In the yamen, Yuan Run had already prepared food and was waiting for her. It was still hot, and the food would be served as soon as she came back to fill her stomach.

"Where's Li Yunyan? Are you back?"

Ruan Yuzhu said while eating.

Yuan Run wiped off the grease from the corners of her mouth, and said, "No, no, eat slowly, rest for a while after eating, just wait for Li Yunyan to come back, you still want to go to her after eating?!"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Occupational diseases, as soon as I see a case, I want to follow up."

Yuan Rundao: "I called Ren Shui to ask in the morning. Qiuniang did die of rape, and Liu Zhi did die by hanging herself. The strangle marks on her neck were not strangled and then hung up. .”

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Could it be that she was anesthetized and then hung up? In ancient times, it was difficult to detect whether she was drugged before death, right?"

Yuan Run nodded: "It is indeed possible. But considering that Young Master Qiu should not have access to these things, it shouldn't be this kind of method."

Yuan Run only said that it was not such a method, but did not say that Young Master Qiu was not suspected, which showed that she still regarded Qiu Ansheng as the biggest suspect—Yuan Run, who also did not believe in coincidences.The three lives all intersect here at Qiu Ansheng, which cannot be explained by a coincidence.

Ruan Yuzhu said: "What kind of method would that be?"

Yuan Run paused for a while, and then said: "If the dog is a little bit bloody, it means committing suicide together, but he managed to survive by means; As soon as she turned over and fell, she was strangled to death by the rope around her neck; the fantasy point is that the murderer knows hypnotism; the orthodox point is that Liu Zhi committed suicide because of guilt... It’s not complete, there is no direct evidence now, so we must get in touch with him at close range.”

"Have you contacted Young Master Qiu?" Ruan Yuzhu asked.

Yuan Run nodded: "From the current point of view, he is the most suspicious, so contact him first, if not, then find someone else..."

Just as he was talking, Li Yunyan came back and came to look for the two of them when he entered the back office—Li Yunyan, as a woman, basically didn't need to notify when entering or leaving the back office—seeing that both of them were there, she said: "You are all here, just right, I There's a little eyebrow over there."

Both of them lifted their spirits when they heard this, and said in unison: "What eyebrows?"

Li Yunyan saw that there was still a large bowl of old duck stewed ginseng soup on the table, so she sat down and asked Ruyue to take a bowl to drink the soup, while saying: "I ate some at Cuihualou, but it was too greasy, why don't you come back and eat Aunt Ma where's the soup?"

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Okay, don't talk about it, just tell me, what's the point?"
