When Wang Shouren and his party did not identify themselves, the soldiers guarding the valley told them that the corpses in the valley had not been cleaned up, so no one else was allowed to enter. However, when Wang Shouren and others entered the valley, they discovered that the corpses in the entire valley had not been cleaned up at all.

The traces of death, layers of charred corpses still retain the tragic state before death, the dry eyes are unbearable to look at, and the open mouth seems to be still uttering a silent cry, which shakes people's souls.

Ji Yuanheng has also seen dead people, but this is the first time he has seen so many dead people, and they are piled up in layers. The clothes on these corpses have been burned away, and the exposed bodies are burned black.

Yellow, and even some were covered with grease, and looked very much like the roast ducks for sale in roast duck restaurants. Coupled with the strong smell of barbecue in the air, Ji Yuanheng felt his stomach twitching and his throat twitching.

An itching sensation.

"Wow~~!" Ji Yuanheng finally couldn't bear it any longer. He knelt down and started vomiting non-stop. The other officials who came with Wang Shouren also couldn't stand the hell-like scene in front of them. They just tried not to make a fool of themselves, but

Now that Ji Yuanheng was taking the lead, they couldn't bear it any longer. They all crawled on the roadside and vomited endlessly.

Wang Shouren also felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, especially when they had eaten in the county town before, they had just eaten a barbecue, which tasted very similar to the barbecue in the valley. When he thought of this, Wang Shouren felt even more uncomfortable, plus the person behind him

Ji Yuanheng and others kept vomiting, which made Wang Shouren feel like vomiting.

However, Wang Shouren was a man who had experienced great storms after all. In the end, he still managed not to make a fool of himself in front of Mr. Shiba and the sergeants. Otherwise, if people knew that the Inspector General had come to the valley to investigate, he would not have figured out the matter yet. Everyone

The whole thing was vomited until the sky was dark and the ground was dark. That would be too embarrassing for the Inspector General.

In contrast, Mr. Shi and these killers have long been accustomed to the hellish scene in the valley. After all, they were the ones who set the fire, and they were not afraid of these natives when they were alive, let alone what they have become now.

The corpse was as burnt as a roast duck. And although soldiers like General Shiba did not dare to offend officials like Wang Shouren,

But now they were very willing to see the other side make a fool of themselves by using the scorched corpses in the valley, so they took Wang Shouren and his party to the places with the highest concentration of corpses. As a result, Ji Yuanheng and others vomited again and again, and finally

Even Wang Shouren's face turned a little blue, and it seemed that he had endured it very hard.

However, not long after entering the valley, Wang Shouren and the others heard a "dinging" sound coming from the mountain walls on both sides. This shocked Wang Shouren, who was suppressing his nausea, and immediately followed the sound to the foot of the mountain wall.

As a result, I saw a group of dark natives digging under the mountain wall. It looked like they were going to dig a hole under the mountain wall. There were also some soldiers from the Ming Dynasty supervising them.

"Mr. Shi, what are these natives doing? Why haven't the corpses in the valley been buried?" There are fewer corpses on this side of the mountain wall, and the wind passing through the valley blows here, making the air here less dense.

The smell of barbecued meat and rancidness made Wang Shouren finally dare to speak.

"Lord Qi, it's not that we don't want to bury the corpses, it's that there are too many corpses in the valley, and the local natives are almost dead, so we can't find enough manpower to bury them. Later, our general thought

One way is to blow up the mountain walls on both sides. In this way, the mountain walls on both sides fall down, just enough to bury the entire valley. Now these natives are digging holes in the mountain walls to facilitate our placement.

It's gunpowder." Mr. Shiba bowed and reported.

Hearing Mr. Shi's words, Wang Shouren and others felt chilled. Although they also knew that these natives died because of participating in the riots, in their view, these natives were human beings after all, and after they died, they were still alive.

All the sins committed have been settled, so you still have to show enough respect to the dead. But now these natives who were burned to death in the valley not only cannot be restrained after death, but they are even buried underground by the collapsed cliffs.

.

However, although Wang Shouren and others felt a little uncomfortable with the way President Shiba and others disposed of the corpse, no one said anything. After all, they all knew very well that the local native riots had offended all the Han people, so they all deserved to die, and

In weather like this in Nanyang, corpses must be buried as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause a plague, so Mr. Shiba and his team's plan to blow up the cliff is undoubtedly the fastest and safest option.

Thinking of this, Wang Shouren and the others could only sigh secretly in their hearts. Although this time the army massacred more than 100,000, and possibly even more than 200,000 natives at once, but from what he saw along the way, he knew that Ming Dynasty had no regard for those people.

The natives were treated very favorably, and even officials like Zhu Zhishan wanted to teach the natives to surrender. Unfortunately, the natives were seeking death themselves, so the Ming army could only send them away.

In addition to the roasted natives, the only thing left in the entire valley was the charred land. There were also a few soldiers to supervise the surviving natives digging holes on the cliff. By the time Wang Shouren and others were about to leave the valley, the mountain walls were already covered with

Big holes were dug, and the soldiers

Gunpowder is being carefully put into it. This is the most dangerous time. If the gunpowder encounters a spark and detonates, then everyone in the valley will have to be buried with the natives. Therefore, Wang Shouren and others insisted on the request in Shiba.

Next, I had to exit the valley.

Coincidentally, just as Wang Shouren and his party had just left the entrance of the valley, they saw another group of people walking towards the valley from the road. The leader was a fat middle-aged man with gray hair and a burly figure. Wang Shouren had a very good memory.

Well, he recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man was Zhu Zhishan, who had taught him calligraphy.

Ever since the natives rioted and all of them were burned to death in the valley, Zhu Zhishan couldn't sleep well for several days. He kept trying to convince himself that those natives deserved to die, that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a parent official, and that the prefect above him

also consider myself

He did a good job and does not need to take responsibility for this riot. However, as a poet and a Buddhist, Zhu Zhishan always thinks about the hundreds of thousands of people lying in the valley south of the county seat.

When someone dies, he won't be able to sleep all night long.

Moreover, Zhu Zhishan also discovered that he was not the only one in the entire Gangnan County Yamen who couldn't sleep. For example, his student Xu Shenzhong also yawned continuously during the daytime during the past two days, with big black eyes hanging on his eyes.

There were circles under his eyes, and Zhu Zhishan also knew that his disciple was not very obsessed with women, so the only possibility was that Xu Shenzhong must be like him at night, often dreaming about the natives struggling in the fire.

The mental torture made Zhu Zhishan unable to sleep for several days. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he found Xu Shenzhong. The result was as he expected. Xu Shenzhong was indeed like him, and he had concerns about the death of those natives.

Guilty, after all, they are all gentlemen with conscience. Even if they know that the natives are seeking death, as a local official, watching the natives under their rule being massacred, this makes them unable to get over the pain in their hearts.

level.

In the end, Zhu Zhishan and Xu Shenzhong discussed for a long time. In order to untie the knot in their hearts, the two of them prepared some incense candles and paper money, and had people drag them to the valley to worship the natives, although it was of no use.

, but they just want peace of mind.

But Zhu Zhishan also didn't expect that when he and his people arrived at the valley, they saw a group of people walking out of the valley entrance, and they were accompanied by an army general. This showed that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, and it made him even more surprised.

What was surprising was that the person leading the opposite side felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Wang Shouren asked Zhu Zhishan for calligraphy lessons, which was considered a master-apprentice relationship. Now that they were separated for many years and met again in Nanyang, thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, they were naturally very happy. He hurried forward and saluted Zhu Zhishan: "Wang Shouren, who was born late, I would like to greet you."

Mr. Shan!”

"Wang Shouren?" Hearing this name, Zhu Zhishan suddenly remembered the young man who asked him for calligraphy lessons. However, more than ten years later, he had gray hair and the other person had become a capable middle-aged man.

Even Zhu Zhishan couldn't help but

Somewhat sighing, he hurriedly helped the other person up and said: "Bo'an, there's no need to be polite. It's been a long time since we've been apart, and it's really a kind of fate that we can meet in this overseas place today. I'll pay homage to these natives before meeting you again."

Bo'an will not return until he is drunk when he returns to the city!"

Zhu Zhishan didn't know that Wang Shouren had become the inspector of the Governor's Mansion, and was still his immediate superior. Wang Shouren was not in a hurry to explain, and when he heard that Zhu Zhishan had come to worship the natives, he thought about it immediately.

clear

After feeling the pain, he immediately comforted him and said: "Mr. Zhishan, you can't blame anyone else for the death of these natives, and the court will not blame you for it. Moreover, you have done your best to those natives before, so there is no need to worry about this matter anymore."

Guilty!"

Zhu Zhishan was not surprised when he saw that Wang Shouren guessed what he was thinking, because he knew that the other person was a very smart person. After hearing this, he sighed and said: "Bo'an, I

I also know that this incident is all due to the greed and laziness of these natives, but after all, they are the people under my rule, and now they die here tragically. As a parent official, I feel really guilty in my heart, so I will come to worship today.

I’ll feel better in my heart!”

Hearing Zhu Zhishan's explanation, Wang Shouren nodded in understanding. After all, he had been a bit intolerant of the natives in the valley before, not to mention that Zhu Zhishan was still the local magistrate, so he didn't say anything more, but
Chapter completed!
