The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 240

The lotus that was protected in the middle was still a little dazed, and it took a while to react, Qi Sheng said: "Uncle Beard, they are not bad people, they are..."

Before the Lotus Regent could say the words, he was interrupted by Eleven: "Who are you, why are you here, and what happened here, all of you are truthfully recruited."

The eleventh question was naturally what He Hua wanted to know. She also wanted to know why the village became like this, and why Uncle Hu Zi came here.

"Ah?" The bearded man was a little stunned, and asked a question. This person's attitude is not like murdering and arson, but like... the government handles the case?

Seeing that the kneeling people were hesitating, Eleven took out his badge and said coldly: "If the Department of Internal Security handles the case, if there is even half a lie, it will be punished as the same crime!"

Handle the case?The big bearded man fell to the ground with a bang, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said, "My lord, we are workers in Jia's granary labor camp. The village was ablaze the night before yesterday, but we can't go out at night." Camp, we just finished our work today, so we wanted to see the situation."

Then the bearded man pointed to the trolley pulled behind him, and said, "We pulled the trolley out after we saw the dead man."

When he saw the lotus, he hurriedly said: "Yes, the lotus, she is the lotus, and she is also from this village. She often sells alcohol in our labor camp. We wanted to help bury people. We buried three just now."

Eleven did not speak. The bearded man looked at the mask and was too frightened to show his breath. He was afraid that this person would not believe him, so he pointed in the direction where the person was buried: "It will be buried there. Your Excellency can go and check."

"Go, dig it out." The two shadow guards beside Eleven ordered.

This behavior made several people not understand, it was buried well, why dig it out?Isn't this clearly preventing people from being buried in peace?

"Why did no one care about what happened the night before yesterday?" Eleven spoke again.

Lao Zhou couldn't help but said: "The government has been slaughtered, who cares about this place?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Eleven, the mask was so cautious that he quickly lowered his head again.

The bearded man explained: "My lord, there was no such a village here, and there were no people from Lin'an in the village. Hehua and the others escaped from the disaster, and they are old people crossing the street in the city..." The bearded man fell silent at this point.

This is what the lotus said to the people here. What is the difference between a corrupt official in Yangzhou and a disaster?

……

——After half an hour, the news here has reached the Prince Regent's Mansion in the capital.

Minghuaxuan.

Night Breeze led a dusty shadow guard into the study room: "My lord, people from Eleven."

"My lord, the stockade two miles away from the Jia granary labor camp in Lin'an caught fire the night before yesterday. No one survived in the stockade except for the lotus girl. They were all burned. Lin'an City has not taken care of this matter yet."

Yan Sihan paused, looked up at the shadow guard, and asked, "The day before yesterday?"

"According to several workers in the labor camp, it was a fire the night before."

If the fire caught fire the day before yesterday, even if there is only a temporary government office in Lin'an, it will not be unattended. There are also officials from the Ministry of Industry in the labor camp, so how can they be indifferent to such a big matter?

"Bring the corpse back to Beijing, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry who manage the labor camps to the Ministry of War for interrogation!"

"Yes!"

———Into the night.

Ministry of War.

Eleven's people had already brought back all the dead bodies. Among the living people were the four workers, Wailang from the Ministry of Industry, and He Hua, the only survivor in the entire village.

There were thirteen corpses in total, all of which belonged to adults, but Lotus said there were eight more children, all between the ages of three and seven.

But after searching the entire stockade, the child's body was not found.
