When Wu Liang and others arrived.

The magistrate of Wen County has also arrived. Sima Fang asked for help. Naturally, he did not dare not try his best. But even if he summoned all the people he could, only hundreds of idle soldiers arrived in the end. Even Sima's family members

It's less than half of the hand.

This is no wonder the magistrate of Wen County.

The entire army of Hanoi County is in the hands of the prefect Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang is not a person willing to delegate power. In addition, there is also a Sima family in Wen County, so the number of people at the disposal of the Wen County magistrate is really limited.

But that's not important.

Because the battle was over, there was no sound of fighting and killing in the mountains and forests.

"Master Sima, this..."

Seeing that Sima Fang's face was extremely ugly, the Wen County magistrate was worried that he would be blamed for the delay in his anger, so he quickly stepped forward to salute him very uneasily.

"Of the fifty-two gravekeepers, except for thirteen who were missing and one who escaped to report back, all the rest died."

Sima Fang said in a cold and machine-like tone, "My ancestral grave was dug up by thieves, and all the valuable burial items were stolen. All the ancestral coffins were also broken, and most of the corpses were gone. Even those who were left behind were missing.

The mutilated limbs seemed to have been maliciously damaged..."

"County Magistrate Chen, our Sima family has a history of hundreds of years in Wen County, Hanoi. Although we have not made much contribution to the local people, we are always kind to others and have never developed a deep hatred with anyone."

"Why would someone do such evil to my ancestors?"

From the outside.

Sima Fang was acting extremely calm at this moment, not like a man whose ancestral grave had just been dug up.

But everyone can see that underneath this calm appearance is suppressed a monstrous rage. If the gravedigger were right in front of him at this moment, this rage alone would be enough to burn the living person into powder.

He is not the only one.

The other members of the Sima family were also filled with uncontrollable grief and indignation. They all had red eyes and lowered their heads, but their hands holding weapons and farm tools had white joints, as if they were about to crush the things in their hands.

"It is simply unbearable that someone dares to do such an unconscionable thing. Please rest assured, Master Sima. I will immediately order people to search for these thieves in Wen County. We will dig three feet into the ground to find them."

The death penalty will be imposed. In addition, I will immediately send someone to report the matter to Governor Zhang. Governor Zhang will not sit idly by and ignore this matter. As long as they are still in Hanoi County, he will teach them to fly without wings!"

The magistrate of Wen County knew that this matter was serious, and of course he did not dare to fight with Sima Fang. He quickly expressed his stance in a very positive manner, as if his family's ancestral graves had also been dug up.

"Then I have to ask County Magistrate Chen, but if I find this group of people, I ask Magistrate Chen to hand them over to the Sima family for disposal. I must avenge the Sima family's hatred with my own hands."

Sima Fang nodded slightly. Although his eyes were red, he still had no obvious expression. He even spoke in a low voice, as if he was just having a normal conversation.

"As it should be."

The magistrate of Wen County nodded repeatedly, raised his hands and said, "Master Sima, I will write down this matter with my own hands and order someone to rush it to the prefect's mansion!"

"Um……"

Sima Fang made a nasal noise and watched the Wen County magistrate leave before finally turning around to look at Wu Liang and others who came with him.

"Master Sima, I'm late."

Wu Liang gave a salute.

"The incident happened so suddenly that even the Sima family was unable to cope with it. How can we blame it on you?"

Sima Fang returned the gift and said in a restrained tone, "I just don't know what your opinion is on this matter. Can you give some enlightenment to the Sima family? I can't wait to tell you."

"Please, Master Sima, please first explain the current situation in detail, so that I can make a judgment."

Wu Liang said seriously.

"good."

Sima Fang nodded and said as clearly and briefly as possible, "Tonight, my tomb guard was suddenly attacked by a group of about a hundred thieves. These people were unidentified and well-trained. The only useful clue was that they had a mouth.

The Sima family's mausoleum guardians couldn't resist the Bingzhou accent.

Only one person was waiting for an opportunity to escape back to the house to report the message. When I received the news, I immediately summoned people to come to the rescue. However, when I arrived, the tomb guardians had already been wiped out, and the ancestral graves of the Sima family had become what they are now.

It looked like a mess, but I didn't even see the shadow of the thieves."

"Didn't that group of thieves ever have one casualty or even a corpse left behind?"

Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

"I have ordered people to check all the corpses. Without exception, they are all the corpses of the tomb-keepers. Even if there were really casualties, the thieves must have taken away all their corpses when they evacuated."

Sima Fang replied.

"this……"

All the small-scale encounters with zero casualties that Wu Liang knew were all created by the Hu army, because the Hu army not only had Warring States repeating crossbows, but also the invincible gunpowder at this stage. These are all magical weapons that can lead to victory by surprise.

But this group of thieves is definitely not the Hu army, so they definitely don't have these artifacts.

And no matter how bad the Sima family's mausoleum guardians are, we are still human beings, and they are not without the ability to resist. It is still possible to support a few people, and this should not happen.

Perhaps as Sima Fang said, perhaps the group of thieves also deliberately took the corpse away when they withdrew.

If this is the case, the thieves can deliberately conceal their identities...

Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly looked at Sima Fang.

"What did Mr. Wu discover?"

Sima Fang asked quickly.

"Master Sima, I'm just thinking about a question. This group of thieves came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Assuming that they actually suffered casualties, under normal circumstances, they would just take away the wounded. There should be no need to take away the bodies.

Yes, after all, dead people cannot speak, so naturally their identities cannot be revealed."

Wu Liang pondered and said, "Unless the head of the Sima family or someone else can determine their identity just by seeing these corpses, if so, this group of thieves is most likely to be someone related to the Sima family.

.”

"..."

Sima Fang's brows instantly knitted into knots upon hearing this. He was probably following Wu Liang's wishes to search for candidates who might be related to this matter.

"However, there is no conclusion yet on this matter. This is just my speculation."

Wu Liang then said, "Next, please allow me, the head of the Sima family, to allow me to investigate the scene in detail. Maybe there will be a chance to find some valuable clues."

"please."

Sima Fang would not stop him, so he quickly made way for Wu Liang and said to Sima Yi, "Zhongda, please accompany Mr. Wu to survey the scene on my behalf. Don't miss any clues."

At this moment, Wu Liang has not completely cleared his suspicions.

Therefore, Sima Fang ordered Sima Yi to accompany him and naturally had the intention of supervising him. Compared to Sima Lang, Sima Yi was naturally more cautious and attentive. Any small move by Wu Liang would never escape his eyes.

"only."

Sima Yi responded and also made a gesture of invitation to Wu Liang.

…

In fact, Wu Liang came prepared this time.

Except for Wu Liang, even the other backbones of the Zhen army did not know that Zhen Mi's fox servants had already taken action.

Before Wu Liang and others arrived at the scene, those fox servants had already quietly come here and followed the scent of the thieves.

I believe it won’t be long before Zhen Mi will bring first-hand information to Wu Liang.

By then, the identity and origin of the thief cannot be concealed from Wu Liang, and even his current location is completely under Wu Liang's control.

Then this information is Wu Liang's capital waiting to be sold.

After getting the exact information, Wu Liang would definitely not tell Sima Fang easily. He would inevitably have to pretend to be a ghost again and make Sima Fang pay the corresponding price before talking about anything else.

However, Wu Liang was not just pretending when he entered the scene to investigate.

He wanted to investigate this matter from the perspective of a professional archaeologist. In addition to paying attention to some clues about the group of thieves that might be left at the scene, he could also take the opportunity to understand the layout of the ancestral tombs of the Sima family, so as to provide insights into the funeral customs of the nobles in the late Han Dynasty.

, especially the funeral customs in Hanoi County, leaving first-hand information.

After entering the scene like this.

The first thing Wu Liang saw was a row of corpses that had been arranged by the Sima family.

There were about thirty of them, and their faces were not covered with cloth at the moment.

According to Sima Fang's previous statement, these corpses have been carefully identified and they are all tomb-keepers of the Sima family.

However, Wu Liang did not ignore it, but carefully examined the injuries on the corpses.

Soon he discovered a very obvious common feature of these corpses. Almost all the wounds on their bodies were gunshot wounds. Of course, they could not be "gunshot wounds" in later generations, but wounds caused by spears.

It seems that Sima Fang is right. This is definitely an army, not ordinary idle soldiers, and it is also the kind of army that is well-equipped and unified. It is not an exaggeration to call it elite.

Why do you say that?

Wu Liang's predecessor, "Brother Youcai", had come into contact with many armies since his arrival. Among them were the armies under Boss Cao and armies from other forces. Among these armies, all were capable of unified weapons.

Heroes from all walks of life spend a lot of money to arm the elite.

As for those armies that are not valued, or heroes who are weaker.
