The resting place where Xingshan Village is located is still some way away from the woods, and the soldiers came out of the woods.

They started searching nearby.

Last night was the New Year's Eve, but not only the villagers of Xingshan Village were keeping the New Year's Eve, but other refugees around them also stayed up late to keep the New Year's Eve.

At this time, most everyone is sleeping.

The soldiers held long knives in their hands, walked up to the sleeping refugees, and slapped them with the backs of their knives.

Asked with an extremely bad attitude.

"I want to ask you, did you go to the woods yesterday?"

This question is actually quite wrong.

If you want to find out who killed your brother yesterday, shouldn't you ask: Did you see who went to the woods yesterday?

You asked someone if they went there...

People will know from your fierce look that you are an accomplice of those soldiers, so of course they cannot admit it.

Most of the refugees were frightened and did not dare to speak, or they stumbled and answered, "No, I didn't go..."

The soldiers continued to search behind.

Because their voices were quite loud, they made a lot of noise, and many villagers in Xingshan Village were awakened.

The village chief immediately gathered everyone together and asked them with gestures in his eyes: What should be said and what should not be said...

You all know that, right?

Everyone also expressed with their eyes: Got it!

Although the soldiers asked stupidly, they searched the packages of the refugees after they said they were not going.

The brothers were killed with knives and whips.

Even if these refugees did not tell the truth, they must have weapons on them. As long as they are found, the murderer can be found.

The problem is, they searched the bodies and luggage of many refugees, and found nothing except some rags for making pancakes.

Soon we arrived at Xingshan Village.

The village chief stepped forward with a respectful face and was about to say hello to them, but was pushed aside by the leading soldier.

"Go away, don't delay my business!"

Their method of searching for weapons was very similar to that of bandits. After searching, they made a mess of the refugees' belongings.

Some cakes were even thrown away or trampled on, and money was also plundered by them.

When many refugees saw this, they all wanted to discuss with them: You can search them as long as you want, but can you not throw away their cakes and money?

So, when the village chief came...

The leading soldier also instinctively thought that he was the same as those refugees.

Want to discuss?

no way!!

Now that they are here, of course they will not go back empty-handed.

When the village chief saw them like this, he knew that nothing he could say was useless, so he subconsciously looked at Chu Zhaoci next to the little nun.

Chu Zhaoci nodded slightly to him.

The signal is to reassure him that it's okay!

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, after the New Year's Eve dinner last night, Shao Jingheng suddenly came to him and asked the villagers to bury their money.

In this way, when the soldiers came to search their area, they found not only some rice, flour and vegetables, but also some shovels and other agricultural tools.

Not even half a copper plate was found.

This was a bit too deliberate, and the leader of the soldiers noticed something was wrong.

But he did not say anything immediately. Instead, he frowned on the spot for a moment, and then asked the soldiers beside him to arrest the village chief.

The village chief had long known that they would arrest him.

To be precise, Shao Jingheng should have told him when Shao Jingheng came to see him last night that the soldiers might arrest him and ask him about the money.

Sure enough, I heard the soldier scolding me.

"Say, where did you hide all the money?"

This horse doesn't look like it's looking for a murderer, it's more like a bandit, right?!

The village chief deliberately pretended to be scared and responded with a trembling voice, "Go back, tell the official, we have no money."

"My lord, you also know that in this famine-stricken world, money is the most useless thing for us refugees."

"We exchanged all the money for food."

"You also saw those grains!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the food that the soldiers had dug out.

These words were actually taught to him by Shao Jingheng.

There is nothing wrong with the truth.

They were refugees fleeing famine. No matter how much money they had with them, it would be of no use in these barren mountains.

You know, hard money cannot be eaten!

Then it would be better to exchange the money for food.

At least, it can ensure that they will not starve to death on the way.

Although the soldiers are violent, they are not without ears and brains. Listening to what the village chief said, and looking at the amount of food...

In the end it felt like it made some sense.

Speaking of food...

The soldiers would rob the refugees of their money but had no interest in their food.

Although they were training deep in the mountains, they never lacked food because that person would deliver it to them on time.

Then there is no need to grind anymore.

They just want to go to another place to continue searching.

Just as they were about to leave Xingshan Village, a voice suddenly shouted not far away, "Master Guan, Master Guan and the others went to the woods yesterday."

The soldiers paused slightly.

The villagers in Xingshan Village suddenly became nervous, and they all looked at the place where the shout came from.

The one who shouted was none other than Wang Dachun?

This guy is actually still alive?

A few days ago, because Wang Dachun secretly went to the town to report the news, the little nun was arrested and imprisoned, but he ran away on his own.

The little nun was looking for him at that time, but could not find him.

Seeing that he came to the door on his own initiative, the little nun, who was still a little dazed because she got up early, suddenly widened her eyes.

It was that bad thing that hurt her.

Her little nun never takes the initiative to seek trouble, but if anyone dares to come to her trouble, she will definitely pay him back a thousand times.

Wang Dachun had already run to the leading soldiers.

By the way...

That day when the little nuns and others arrested the prefect, Wang Dachun secretly escaped, but he did not escape to other places, but secretly followed Xingshan Village.

It was to follow the villagers to their destination, and also to take the opportunity to kill Hua Xiaonian again.

He and Hua Xiaonian have a sworn hatred.

He had been secretly staring at Hua Xiaonian.

Yesterday, when he saw them entering the deep woods, he didn't think anything happened until he saw these soldiers this morning and asked who had gone into the woods yesterday.

Think about the blood stains on Hua Xiaonian’s body when she came back yesterday...

No, to be precise, it was not only Hua Xiaonian who had blood on her body, but other brothers such as Li Hu and Lin Han also had blood on their bodies.

At that time, he was far away, thinking that they had encountered a wild beast in the deep forest and got it while fighting with the wild beast.

But now, combined with the menacing appearance of these soldiers, did they kill their soldiers yesterday?

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to go to such great lengths to search, right?!

Yes, that must be the case!

This was a great opportunity to kill Hua Xiaonian. He quickly put on his clothes and ran over.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten something...

Because he was running too fast, after running over, Wang Dachun first took a deep breath and thought about the lines he wanted to say.

He has thought about it...

I told the soldiers that when Hua Xiaonian came back from the deep forest yesterday, there was a lot of blood on her body and she was dragging a dead man with her.

In this way, it will definitely be possible for Hua Xiao to think about their murder.

Ran goose.

Wang Dachun's imagination is quite good, but the reality is a bit cruel.

He just opened his mouth and was about to speak when his hand suddenly raised uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, he uncontrollably quickly took away the sword of the soldier next to him and stabbed straight at the leading officer and soldier.
