At this moment, in the villager Lu Dayou's house where Di and Hu were staying,
There were many people gathered, most of the old, weak, women, and children in the village.
The appearance of a dozen or so stalwart official cavalry immediately caused a wave of shock.
All the villagers looked at Di Renjie's group in fear.
"It seems like something really happened!"
Di Renjie dismounted and walked into the courtyard. He looked at an old man.
His body trembled and he shrank back. Di Renjie couldn't help but say gently,"
"Old man, don't be afraid. It's me!”
He opened his big eyes and looked at Di Renjie for a while before he heaved a sigh of relief."
"So it's the old mister!"
"This, what's going on? Where's Dayou?"
Di Renjie pointed at the villagers gathered in Lu Dayou's house and asked.
Hearing this, the old man sighed heavily,"
"Before noon, a group of government troops barged into the village, saying that Da You was harboring rebels.
A traitor should be beheaded! Some of them were not convinced, so they were beaten up and captured!”
"Poor sister. She was humiliated by those soldiers and committed suicide…What a sin!”
He sympathized with them and looked at Yuan Ji's cavalry.
Knowing the reason, Di Renjie shouted sternly,""He deserves to be killed!"
Fatty Di was so angry that the sky and earth would change color. Hearing his angry rebuke, he said,
The old man who answered was shocked. He staggered back two steps and collapsed to the ground.
With a cold face, Di Renjie went to Lu Dayou's house and looked around.
It was a mess, the footprints were messy, and many pots and pans were broken.
Hu Jinghui and Yuan Ji followed behind him without saying a word.
Di Renjie stared at a female corpse lying on the ground. Her clothes were tattered.
His hair was messy, and there was an extremely obvious bruise on his neck. He had been hanged.
His expression was slightly ferocious. He must have experienced abnormal pain before he died.
Yuan Ji looked at the woman. She looked really ordinary and young.
She was dressed simply, had rough skin, and came from a poor family.
Thinking about how he died because of the soldiers, he felt a little sad.
Even though he had raped and plundered during the war, that was only against the outside world…
Di Renjie stared at the female corpse and couldn't help but feel disappointed. He felt very uncomfortable.
Yesterday morning, this was still a hardworking and simple village girl.
He cooked for them and came back a day later, but he met with such a disaster.
" Lord…" Hu Jinghui's expression turned ugly when he saw Di Renjie's expression.
Without saying anything, Di Renjie turned around and headed to the west room.
Yuan Ji exchanged a glance with Hu Jinghui and quickly followed.
Opening the gray curtain, he could see everything in the small space in the west room.
The patient who was supposed to be lying on the soil bed had disappeared. A bowl fell by the bed.
There was a little residue in the bowl, and beside it was a broken medicine pot.
It could be inferred that Lu Dayou was feeding the man medicine when the government troops barged in.
He turned around and left the house. In the small courtyard, the villagers who were watching the show stood quietly and timidly.
He did not even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing this, Di Renjie felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou were supposed to protect the people.
But now, the commoners were afraid of him…
Di Renjie looked at the old man and asked,""How long has it been since those government troops left?”
"Old mister, it has been almost two hours!”The old man answered based on his gut feeling.
Sighing, Di Renjie took out a few taels of silver from his pocket.
"I'll have to trouble the old man and the villagers to restrain that poor dead daughter…"
"It's only right that the Dayou family is in trouble!
But we can't accept this money!"
The old man glanced at the money in Di Renjie's hand and shook his head.
"Take it!" Di Renjie didn't care and stuffed the money into the old man.
Taking a deep breath, Di Renjie waved his hand.""Let's go!"
After he was discharged, he quickly stepped on the saddle. This fat old man…
" It's rare for him to be so agile…" Yuan Ji did not hesitate and called his subordinates to follow.
Looking at Di Renjie's back, Yuan Ji could feel it.
At this moment, Di Gong must be filled with anger.
"Senior Brother…" Aunt Yun also followed and called out softly.
"Follow me!" Yuan Ji shook his head and raised his horsewhip.
He urged his horse and followed Di Renjie out of the village.
The mountain roads were difficult to traverse. Even if they rode on horses, their speed would not be fast.
"Sir, are we going to the state capital now?”
Hu Jinghui finally found a path that could allow two horses to walk side by side and asked.
Controlling the horse, Di Renjie nodded.
His expression had returned to normal, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Are you still thinking about the changes in your family?”
"Da You and his sister are just the most ordinary commoners in the mountains.
Why did the soldiers barge into the village to capture them?"
Di Renjie said lightly,"Who is a traitor?”
"Are you talking about the poisoned person?”Hu Jinghui frowned and continued.
"The soldiers are obviously targeting that person.
Da You and his sister were just fish in the pond!”
"The identity of the poisoned person is not simple!" Di Renjie sighed.”
"There's another problem. I accidentally saved that person the day before yesterday.
How did the government lock onto his location so quickly and send people to arrest him?”
"Could it be that the government's control over the people has already reached this level?" Di Renjie asked coldly. I don't think so!"
Previously, after discovering that "Li Er" was not dead,
Hu Jinghui wanted to spread the news.
However, he was inseparable from Di Renjie and had never had the chance to do so, nor did he dare to make any strange moves in front of Di Renjie.
Hu Jinghui had some guesses about Di Renjie's question.
Lu Dayou must have attracted attention when he went out to get medicine.
After all, in the dark, Li Qingxia had been monitoring and controlling the towns, especially near the state capital.
It was still very strong. As long as he could find the antidote, he would be able to gain something.
What Hu Jinghui was suspicious about was why he didn't directly send someone to kill "Li Er".
Instead, they had to mobilize the government troops. Using the government troops might allow her to continue hiding in the dark and make preparations.
However, now that he happened to bump into Di Renjie, Hu Jinghui felt that something was wrong.
"Speed up and leave the mountain as soon as possible. That team of soldiers is holding two people.
He shouldn't be walking fast! In the direction of the state capital, before nightfall…
Maybe we can stop them!" Di Renjie ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
