Abduct a Fallen Immortal to Double Cultivate

Not long ago, in a small village in a county in Gongcheng, Bingzhou, villagers disappeared, and the missing villagers were all young and middle-aged men.In rural areas, men are generally the pillars of the family and the main labor force. It would be fatal if there were no men who could work in the fields.

The chief of this small village went to the county to report the case, but the county magistrate was also a practical person, so he immediately sent people to the village to investigate.According to the head of the village, three well-dressed men came here before, and they wanted to ask all the men in the village to help with some hard work. They promised that in two days, everyone could get A penny.

This kind of generosity shocked the whole village, it was a penny, how long did they have to work to earn a penny, now they just go to help with some work, one penny a day, two pennies in two days, this is a wishful good !In addition, although there is work in the field, it is not a problem to leave for two days, so everyone in the village agreed.

It's just that two days have passed, three days have passed, four days have passed... None of the men who were taken out came back. I don't want to get involved with the government

The county officials investigated for several days without any progress.At that time, the three of them left with all the middle-aged men in the village, and they didn't let the villagers see them off. They could only be sure that they went out from the entrance of the village. As for which direction they went, the roads at the entrance of the village lead in all directions, and no one can say for sure.

Days passed and no clues were found for a long time, so this matter can only be dragged on like this.The magistrate of the county has a heart, knowing that there is no labor force in the village to do things, and he can't just watch a village starve to death, so he took a group of yamen servants to the village to help out in his free time, and the villagers, old and young, were very grateful.There was a heavy rain here a few days ago, and a landslide seemed to have occurred in the adjacent mountain behind.This village can also be regarded as relying on the mountains to live on the mountains. In the past, there were hunters in the village who went hunting in the mountains. They could sell money and improve food, but that was all for men.There was a lot of movement from the landslide, but fortunately the village was not affected, otherwise it would have been even more difficult.

Finally, the women don't have to carry the field work hard, and they can be a little bit busy with their own housework, and even wash and cook for the government servants who came to help.

One day, the women in the village went to a river outside the village to wash clothes together, only to find two corpses floating down from the upper reaches!The women were all terrified, they didn't bother to run back with their clothes and bowls in their arms, it just so happened that the yamen servants were all there that day, and when they heard that there was a corpse, they quickly put down their work and rushed over.

Fortunately, the speed of the water flow was not very fast. Although the corpse floated a certain distance downstream when the women left, they were still found by the yamen servants.

Probably because of the hot weather and soaking in the water for many days, the corpses were so rotten and swollen that they couldn't recognize their original appearance. However, some villagers who came to inquire could recognize the two corpses from the village. The man is the missing man in the village.Then someone claimed the body, saying that it was his own man, and that the clothes on his body were sewn by their own hands.

For a moment, an atmosphere of grief and terror enveloped the entire village. Anyone can roughly guess that all the men who went out at the beginning were in danger.However, in the face of such a situation, other families who have not yet found a man are still holding on to their last hope pitifully and persistently, hoping that their man will be fine, and begging the government officials to find their man back.

Needless to say these words, the magistrate must send someone to look for them.Previously, because the village chief said that three well-dressed people took him away to work, so their search area was in the county town, and some nearby villages or other places where construction was started. Now that the corpse was taken from the river If it floats over, you should follow the river upstream to find it.

The upper reaches of the river are in the mountains, and the water used by the villagers every day flows down from the mountains.The head of the village should have sent some people to go up the mountain with the officials, but Naihe village is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, and since he is still healthy in his sixties, he went up the mountain with the county magistrate and the others.

Along the way up the mountain, they found two or three more corpses. The village chief recognized them as the missing men in the village, and the atmosphere among the crowd became heavier and heavier.

In the end they found a cave, which should not be the source of the water flow, but water flowed out of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was blocked a lot, it seems that it was not man-made, it should be caused by the landslide a few days ago.It's just that the blockage is not tight, there are still many large and small holes, water flows out of these holes, and then converges with the stream next to it, which does not affect the flow of water below.

Everyone didn't go any further, the unbearable stench coming from the cave told them that this place should be theirs

The place to look for.

The yamen servants used the weapons and tools they brought to open the blocked cave. The moment the cave was opened, more corpses were rushed out from inside. Fortunately, the magistrate of the county had someone block it with a net outside in advance, otherwise These bodies will be washed down below.

Li Chang sat down on the ground, his face was pale, and he was panting heavily.The county magistrate hurriedly asked someone to give the head of the village a sigh of relief, for fear that the elderly head of the village would not catch his breath and pass away.

Everyone present was very indignant, this was a massacre without conscience!

The magistrate was so angry that his hands were shaking, but he also knew in his heart that he couldn't handle this case anymore and had to report it.

Soon, Bingzhou Zhizhou will arrive.The magistrate of the county was quite shocked. He thought that the person who came would be the magistrate of Gongcheng, but he jumped up another level, which also shows that the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter.

The people from above immediately began to investigate the case, and found that among all the corpses in the cave, there were three well-dressed corpses. After identification, they were the three people who took all the men in the village away.

However, the most shocking thing is not that the "mastermind" is dead, but that they found a large number of armor and weapons in the cave. Judging from the degree of brand newness, it can be concluded that they have just been built not long ago.To make weapons privately is to rebel!

The magistrate of Bingzhou was so frightened that his three souls and seven souls went halfway, and he felt the feeling of the county magistrate once again-he can't handle this case anymore!It has to be reported!

So Feng Zhiyuan, governor of Zhili, was alarmed, and rushed to this little-known village overnight, entered the mountain, and checked all the weapons and armor.There were also furnaces and other equipment for forging weapons at the scene, which fell on the ground in a mess, and many of them were smashed by stones.Although the entrance of the cave is not big, the inside is very deep, and part of it has been emptied, so the space is very wide. Such a cave has been simply transformed into a simple workshop for making weapons and armor.

No one would have thought that there would be such a place in this mountain. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain a few days ago that caused the mountain to collapse, the cave collapsed, and the river in front of it branched out into a cave because of the change of the mountain road. Villagers who were killed by rocks and equipment such as smelting boilers were rushed out, and this place may never be known.

In fact, although the entrance of the cave was blocked by the collapsed rocks, there was actually a gap that people could get through. Presumably, so many villagers and those three people were really unlucky, and they couldn't make it in time. They escaped, but they were killed soon after the landslide occurred, and none of them escaped.

Even if the clues were broken, such a big matter must be reported to the imperial court in time. Feng Zhiyuan originally wanted to write a memorial and submit it, but after much thought, he decided to go to Beijing to report to Ming Jingdi in person.

The copper furnaces and other smelting equipment found in the cave are of high quality, not much worse than the official ones, and they are definitely not available to ordinary people.There are also those finished weapons, axes, axes, daggers, spears, knives, arrowheads, helmets...everything is very pure and exquisite in workmanship. If these are all from the hands of those villagers, then they must have received very elegant and orthodox guidance Otherwise, how would these farm workers know so many skills in forging weapons?

It looks simple here, but the things produced are excellent, which is completely different from some crude workshops in the folk.Those who are capable of tinkering with these things must have a strong background, and these three men in fancy clothes must be nothing more than young men, and this place is probably not the only den for forging weapons. A place like this must still be There are many.

Feng Zhiyuan was well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. He rushed back and met Emperor Jing immediately.Fortunately, he was also a good horseback rider in his early years, otherwise it would not be easy to ride a horse from such a long distance.

As expected, Emperor Jing was furious!

rebel!No matter for any emperor, this word is their untouchable scale, and it is the bottom line that cannot be crossed.One point is touched, no matter whether it is courtiers, brothers, wives and children, without exception, there will be no good end.Almost every emperor has paid too much for ascending the throne, so he will never allow anyone or anything to threaten his imperial power

Because the incident happened in Bingzhou under the jurisdiction of Feng Zhiyuan, Emperor Jing handed over the matter to Feng Zhiyuan for a thorough investigation. Of course, he also allocated two officials from the court to assist in the investigation.

After this kind of thing happened, Emperor Jing didn't have the heart to think about getting married again, and he couldn't let go if he couldn't find out who was behind the scenes for a day

Come.

Fortunately, Princess Yinyao also wanted to stay in East Qin for a longer period of time, so even though An Feng disagreed, she still couldn't screw Yinyao.But to a certain extent, An Feng really wanted to know what was going on.Although it is a bit unreasonable to think so, but

Eastern Qin Yue was in chaos, and it did no harm to Ye Dan.

So the Yedan Mission stayed in Dongqin without any complaints or dissatisfaction, and they just came here for sightseeing.Emperor Jing also knew that he couldn't treat others too badly, so he asked Empress Zongzheng to arrange it, and don't neglect the Yedan mission.
