Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 44 Tracking!

When Shi Yi on horseback heard this, anger appeared on his dark face, but he didn't know what he thought of, so it was rare that he didn't get angry.

It's just that the veins in the hand holding the rein of the horse swelled up, and he no longer insisted on leaving.

Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Su Rao said softly: "Brother Shi, it's not appropriate to go to the government to report the case. You just came back from the outside. There is a news that you may not know. The court's mining tax envoy was killed not long ago. It is said that it was caused by bandits."

"What does that have to do with the matter at hand?"

Shi Yi was puzzled.

"They killed the royal court's mine tax envoy, which is most likely related to this matter. The government has been catching it with great fanfare for a long time without any results, but they dare to walk in the sun blatantly. Don't you think it's strange?"

What she said was very clear. After a while, Shi Yi slowly realized, and said in surprise: "The government...the government colluded with them?"

"Hard to say."

Su Rao shook her head, "There is no evidence right now, these are just inferences based on the existing information."

Even if it is an inference, in this case, it is absolutely impossible to notify the government.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

It was only then that Shi Yi realized that she was blocking the way for his safety. Thinking of what he said earlier, he scratched his head in embarrassment and jumped off the horse.

Glancing at Yan Yun, he finally looked at Su Rao.

Clasping his fists together, Shi Yi bowed to her, and said sincerely: "I was in a hurry, please see that I am a rough person, don't argue with me, this kind of thing will never happen again gone."

"Brother Shi just calm down, everything else is trivial."

Su Rao didn't care much about it, this person was simple and generous, jealous like a vengeful, she would not take what she said in a hurry.

But one thing Yan Yun said was right.

"This place is full of dangers, you must act cautiously and don't act impulsively. You must remember this, Brother Shi, otherwise you will not be able to save people, and you will cause big trouble instead."

"I remember."

Shi Yi heard that she would continue to investigate, and he was relieved, "Fortunately, the girl is magnanimous, otherwise, if you really leave this mess behind and don't care about it, it will be difficult for these dead people to get justice. It’s okay for the old man to fight, but it’s really powerless to follow up and investigate the case.”

Speaking of this, he restrained his expression and gave another solemn salute to Su Rao.

"Brother Shi, what are you doing?"

Su Rao looked at him suspiciously.

Shi Yi showed shame, "I saw the girl bickering and arguing with others when she inspected the dead. I thought you were one of those arrogant people who didn't take human life seriously. I had a prejudice in my heart, so just now..."

He doesn't speak very politely.

"So it is."

Su Rao's mood didn't fluctuate much. She had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood. She had seen too much sorrow and sorrow. If she looked at it with worry and anger every day, then she might have died before the case was investigated clearly.

"Then Brother Shi still thinks so?"

Shi Yi slowly shook his head, "Young girl came all the way to investigate and put yourself in danger. This is enough to explain many things. I was too narrow-minded and unintentionally vented the pain and grief of bereavement on the young girl."

"Just figure it out, it's all over."

Su Rao didn't want to get entangled in these trivial matters any longer, so she turned to Yan Yun and said, "My lord, it's time for us to go to the next place."

"it is good."

In the next two or three days, based on Shi Yi's understanding of this place, several people successively found several old villages. Without exception, they were all turned into a piece of scorched earth, and all the villagers disappeared.

Of the bones found nearby, the oldest died three years ago.

Su Rao found a branch and drew it on the ground according to the memory in her mind, marking the approximate location and the time when the old and young in the village were killed.

Yan Yun remained silent, took the branch and drew on it.

Looking at the approximate area circled by him, Su Rao couldn't hide her admiration. As expected of Prince Yan, she understood her intentions in an instant.

"what is this……"

Shi Yi knew that he didn't have the intelligence of the two of them, so when he encountered something he didn't understand, he quickly asked.

Yan Yun has always cherished words like gold and was too lazy to explain.

This task naturally fell on Su Rao. She pointed to the locations of several villages and said, "Look, these are actually traceable. Among the clues we have so far, Jintian Village was the first to have an accident, which shows that what?"

Shi Yi shook his head honestly, "I don't know."

"They took away most of the villagers. First of all, the transfer is a problem. Without means of transportation, the villagers have to walk. In this way, they are doomed to have limitations in what they are looking for."

"For example, distance."

Su Rao explained to him while drawing on the ground with a branch: "From Jintian Village to Nha Trang, the distance is getting farther and farther, but the time of death is getting shorter and shorter. They are constantly expanding the target range to supplement the labor force."

"This is the route they used to slaughter the village. What can you see?"

Shi Yi stared at the crude map, thought for a long time, and hesitated: "They are expanding outward in an arc."

"Jintian Village was the first to have an accident, which means that it is relatively close to those people's lairs, so it's easy to start. The line you just drew...is it the approximate range where they are?"

Hearing this, Su Rao and Yan Yun looked at each other, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

It can be regarded as a reaction.

"Yes, so next we will approach this area and look for their base camp."

Xi Chi went first, maybe they could still run into each other.

Shi Yi rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, no blame for his slow reaction, he would not think about this at all on weekdays, and it is not easy to barely understand.

"but……"

Shi Yi suddenly thought of a very serious matter, "How many people are needed for those bandits to control so many people to mine together!"

There are only three of them, what can they do if they find it!
"Not bad, I can think about it."

It was rare for Yan Yun to praise him, and Shi Yi smiled embarrassedly, and then he continued: "We don't need to confront each other head-on, just find out what's going on inside."

"What about the villagers?"

"After this private mine is sealed up by the government, their lives will naturally be safe, so before that, they must not startle the snake, lest they jump the wall in a hurry and kill and destroy the ruins."

Shi Yi actually wanted to ask the government if there was a problem?How could it be seized, but seeing Yan Yun's face was indifferent and arrogant, and he was not easy to get close to, so after thinking about it, let it go.

Anyway, as long as the villagers can live!

The few people didn't stay here for too long, Yan Yun ordered someone to find a map, discussed the follow-up route with Su Rao and started to set off.

On the other road, Qi Chi followed the traces all the way, and soon tracked down the group of bandits, and followed them into the mountain, avoiding countless guard posts and sentries. The further inward, the stricter the defense.

There are even many masters hidden in the dark.

Besides, what surprised Xichi the most was that the bandits came out after entering the tent they built in the forest, as if they had changed into official uniforms...
