"I beat him very well at that time. I hid him in the back house and didn't see him, but I still remember the sound of shouting and killing until now..."

Zhu Qufei told her softly.

Cao Hua frowned and looked at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Based on these remaining traces, he could roughly deduce the process of fighting several of them. The corridor outside the side room was the most dangerous position for fighting. Almost the entire corridor was demolished, and there were four obvious claw marks on the pillars, nearly half an inch of the wood was penetrated.

Cao Hua raised his hand and gestured. Not to mention whether he could do it, his fingers would inevitably be bruised when he went down. It can be seen that Xue Jiuquan was also trying his best at all costs. According to the traces of swords left on the scene, it seemed that one was against three.

Zhu Qufei's vague memories surged into her mind and stood in the corridor to explain: "This is the guest room, and the group of outsiders live here. At that time, I was hiding in the back house. My father came over to help and never went back."

Zhu Qufei pointed to a small hole in the corridor column that was stabbed out with a knife: "My father used a straight knife, which must have been made by him. I remember that there was a knife among the outsiders, carrying a ring-headed knife with him on his back. Another person, who came over to save me later, was using a sword. When I saw it, the sword was broken, and only a piece was left."

Cao Hua looked at it a few times, frowned and asked, "Is the one who uses the ring-headed knife called Yan Hanqing?"

Zhu Qufei was stunned. She naturally heard of Tie Xiao’s name for the outside leader and thought for a while: “I don’t know, those people only call each other the eldest and second. Are you talking about ‘Tie Xiao’? Did they do it when the people who survived the Zhenyuan Escort Agency?”

Cao Hua nodded.

Zhu Qufei thought for a moment, and was also very surprised.

"Who lived in this house at that time?"

"Two children live here. The silly one ran to my yard that day and digged loaches in the corner with me. Then they started fighting, and the other one disappeared."

Concubine Zhu Qu looked around and walked through the courtyard where the road could no longer be seen, and came to a small courtyard behind her with her skirt.

The yard is not big, no one has come here for many years. The fallen leaves are piled on the ground, and there is a dry well and grape trellis next to it that has collapsed.

Concubine Zhu Qu searched in the yard, stopped at a few pottery pots by the wall, and pointed to the narrow gap behind:

"Because the child looked stupid and strong, I called him "Little Manzi". When there was a fight outside, the Little Manzi was going to run out with the wooden knife that his father had cut for him. I pulled her and said, "Hide quickly, what are you going to do?"...

...The little man listened to me very much and didn't leave. I jumped into the well to pick him up, but he found a dustpan and covered the wellhead...

...How come the child, who is only three years old, is so smart, and doesn't look so stupid at all...

...The well was not deep. I climbed to the well and glanced at it. Then I saw that Xiaomanzi's father was beaten to death by a eunuch. Later I found out that the eunuch was Xue Jiuquan..."

Concubine Zhu Qu stood next to the flower pot and pointed to the ground two meters away:

"I just died there, my chest and abdomen were covered in blood and my intestines were flowing out. I was still holding Xue Jiuquan's legs and didn't let go...

...At that time, Xue Jiuquan asked, "Where is the person?" Xiaomanzi's father had no choice but to point to the flowerpot...

...Then Xiaomanzi's father was trampled on his neck, and a black feather guard ran over to move the flower pot to catch people...

...I saw with my own eyes that when the little man was riding the black feather guards to move the flower pot, he jumped out of the pile of flower pots, inserted it into the eyes of the black feather guards who were moving the flower pots, and somehow climbed up the courtyard wall and ran out..."

Zhu Qufei looked at the low courtyard wall in front of her, her eyes were misty, and her tone was choked: "It's a pity that the little man is too small, and even bigger ones will definitely run away. At that time, the little man just climbed onto the courtyard wall, and was grabbed by other black feather guards and fell to the ground. Her mouth was covered in blood, but she didn't even hum. Her eyes stared outside like a wolf cub, as if she wanted to crawl out...

...But I know that it's fake. The little man knows that he can't escape, so he wants to stay away from the well... Woo--"

At the end of his words, Zhu Qufei squatted on the ground, her voice choked:

"I watched helplessly, and didn't even dare to cry... I watched the little man climb to the gate of the yard, and was lifted back and fell again, and then stopped moving... I couldn't do anything... Woo--"

Cao Hua frowned, thought for a while, sat on the steps, looking at Zhu Qufei who was crying next to him:

"Later?"

"I hid for three days before I dared to climb out. The bodies were dragged away and buried in the back mountain. I ran out and looked for the families I knew, most of them avoided it. Some people wanted to arrest me and report to the officials... I finally killed all these people, only Qi Hu was left..."

Cao Hua waited until Concubine Zhu Qu finished crying in the dilapidated courtyard, and after a few words of comfort, he stood up and walked towards the back mountain.

Concubine Zhu Qu was carrying the incense and paper money, and was obviously restless. Along the way, he told him about the disgusting things he encountered when he fled.

No one mourned me all year round, and there was no road to the bushes on the back mountain. In addition to a mass-burial mound, there were three small tombs, with stone tablets erected in front, one was Zhu Biao and the other was Xu Buling, which read "The first day of the third month of the Yuanhe lunar month" and the remaining one was a stele without words.

Xu Buling was the last leader of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. There was no record of the document library, but he was obviously a personal character.

Xue Jiuquan has always had a habit of killing people with good martial arts skills, they will be properly buried and erected inscriptions after death, just like Bao Daoyi.

As a martial artist, Xue Jiuquan knew how difficult it was to practice martial arts. Once he died, everything was empty, and it would be pitiful to be on the side of the road.

It’s not just Xue Jiuquan’s compassionate heart and simple cherishment of talent.

Cao Hua knew Xue Jiuquan's habit, and it was reasonable to see these three stone tablets.

Concubine Zhu Qu knelt in front of Zhu Biao's grave, burned incense and burned paper money, and lit incense on the other two graves: "The owner of Zhuang Xu is also very powerful. He is a brother of my father. He is called "not sword" in the martial arts world. "He is upright and does not follow the orders; his body is not upright and does not obey the orders." I also gave me a jade pendant when I was full moon, and later gave it to Yijun... The grave next to me has no name, I don't know who it belongs to..."

"The tombstone was built by Xue Jiuquan. Those who can be buried properly are all famous masters without exception. Next to it, they should be Xiaomanzi's father."

“That’s right…”

Zhu Qufei sighed with a sigh of relief, but in fact she had guessed it long ago.

After the Zhenyuan Escort Agency had an incident, let alone mourning, there was not even a person who collected the body. The only one who could erect the monument was the government.

But at this moment, she can't thank Xue Jiuquan for his pity for killing and burying.

Cao Hua stood in front of the three graves and looked at them. The wordless monument was standing in the middle, which was obviously the most solemn.

If you didn't write down your name, it was impossible that you didn't know the name. If it were a mixed fish who didn't even know the name, Xue Jiuquan would not have erected a monument at all.

The only reason left is nothing more than to say.

It is useless to think too much, and those who see Tie Xiao will naturally know the reason, and Cao Hua is not confused about this matter.

Waiting for Concubine Zhu Qu to worship her deceased father, Cao Hua took her back.

Concubine Zhu Qu was a little lost and followed Cao Hua and turned around from time to time.
