Chapter 623: A Massacre?
In fact, if there is only such a pool of blood here, there is nothing. There are more than 200 people, and it is inevitable that there will be an accident, a nosebleed or something...... This is understandable.
But the bad thing is that there are not a lot of blood stains, and it doesn't seem like it was caused by an accident at all! Moreover, in addition, she had also seen the group of "dumb boatmen" on the shore before, which made her feel terrified and easy to think of a lot. Now seeing such a large pool of blood in this house, how can you not think of one?
He was stunned to see the blood stains on the stone slab, and then threw the straw in his hand aside, and then quickly looked at the other places......
Liu Ruyan hoped that she was just thinking too much, but as she turned over the straw on the ground, she became more and more frightened.
The thatched hut wasn't very big, and there were a few stone slabs on the ground, which looked like they should have been stepped on when walking on a rainy day. But even if it's not big, there are eight or nine stone slabs from the inside of the house to the door. And after she removed all the thatch on them, these stone slabs, except for the two that passed through the doorway, were stained with blood without exception!
Even, there are a few places where even the blood stains on the ground next to the stone slab have not been completely seeped clean, one by one, which is shocking......
What's going on in this house? After taking all the thatch away, looking at so many blood stains, Liu Ruyan fell into deep thought.
This scene doesn't look like it was caused by accident at all! And she didn't find any livestock in this village all the way, so where did the blood on the ground come from?
Don't...... Again, I remembered that there was not a single woman or child in the village, and that the men in the prime of life had become mute. Liu Ruyan couldn't help but think of a possibility in her heart - these bloodstains were originally shed by the villagers in Yelian Village!
There are many records in the history books about this massacre of innocent civilians. Whether it was in the Zhou Dynasty before Daqing, or in the war before the Zhou Dynasty, or even ...... Even when Daqing was just divided, this kind of thing happened.
Many years ago, when she was still young, she had a story about intimidating children. At that time, it was not long after the sudden death of the emperor who took office in Daqing, and the eldest prince succeeded to the throne in the capital...... It made the eldest prince angry, and at that time, he issued a holy decree to punish all the officials who were originally related to the second prince!
There were more than 100 people, from officials to their families, and none of them were spared. The second prince is in the palace of the capital, and there are no chickens and dogs...... It was the biggest massacre she'd ever touched!
For half a month, at night, no one in the capital dared to go out. That's what the adults talk about to intimidate the crying children at night.
Soon after that massacre, the great prince, who is now the Emperor of Nanqing, moved his capital to the south, and took advantage of the danger of the Yangtze River to oppose Beiqing......
Looking at this village now, although it seems that there are only seven or eight households, there are more than fifty or sixty people. When his father came to Jinling this time, all his actions were extremely secretive, even her daughter didn't know, and the best way to keep these villagers from talking was to kill them!
Thinking of this, I don't know if it was because I was too close to the stove or because I was afraid, Liu Ruyan's forehead was dripping with a trace of fine sweat......
Perhaps, I am thinking too much! The blood may have been shed when they slaughtered their livestock...... Wiping the fine sweat from her forehead and swallowing deeply, she comforted herself in her heart. But I didn't think about it, if it was really the livestock, how could it be slaughtered in this house? This is completely self-deception......
Brother Shi outside didn't know at this time, but Liu Ruyan had already found this clue in this thatched house at this time.
Although she didn't want to think about it in her heart, and she didn't want to admit it, she also made the worst plan. If the innocent villagers in this village were really killed by these people, it must have a great relationship with their father, and it is impossible for his father not to know about it.
So, what kind of purpose is it that makes his always kind father so ruthless? Joe's identity as a cannon, as well as the more than two hundred people on the island, allowed her to extend her thoughts...... Staying in the capital for many years has made her understand a truth, as long as she is in the temple, everything is possible!
Because in order to dry the clothes quickly, she was close to the stove when she was drying the clothes before. When he saw the blood on the ground, he just thought about these things, but he didn't pay attention to them at all.
I smelled something strange, but by the time I found it, it was too late...... The fine silk on the body actually burned a big hole at this time! Moreover, this hole is still spreading at this time, and I believe that if we wait, I am afraid that it will catch fire sooner or later......
But even if I don't have any clothes now, I can't wear them anymore. Seeing this, Liu Ruyan was annoyed at first, threw the clothes in his hand aside, and was about to call Gao Xiaowu to think of a way, but then, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was thinking about it......
It can be seen that when Fang just went ashore, Shi Yuan was also very curious about the situation in this village. Ask Qiao Cannon, but the other party doesn't want to say. Now that he had made such a discovery, he would surely be interested if he were called in, and perhaps he would know more about it from his mouth......
Although it is highly likely now that after he came in, the Joe cannon outside had already told him everything, but it was always necessary to try it! If it was really as she thought in her heart, then this incident really made her feel uneasy......
I have to say that Liu Ruyan is lucky. Brother Shi certainly wanted to avoid him and ask Qiao Cannon something, but there were some things that Qiao Cannon didn't want to say.
At this time, Brother Shi was "pestering" Qiao Cannon, wanting to get some things out of his mouth about the whereabouts of the villagers in this village. But as soon as he mentioned the problems related to these, Joe Cannon would immediately pretend to be confused.
As for Qiao's cannon cannon's ability to pretend to be confused, Brother Shi had seen it before. If it weren't for a trip to Yangzhou, I'm afraid that he would still be kept in the dark about these things now!
"So, does Xiaowei know these things?" Although Qiao Cannon didn't want to say it, Brother Shi didn't give up. I've been working tirelessly, racking my brains to think about the Fa, and I'm asking questions......
"Miss Shen, she does know, speaking of which, she is responsible for all the actions in Jinling this time, even Lord Dong has to listen to her!"
The meaning of Qiao Cannon's words is very obvious, he just wants to tell Brother Shi that he can ask Shen Wei, so don't embarrass himself anymore......
