Following Mu Jingzhao's words, the carriage slowed down and stopped. Li Zinian lifted the curtain and poked his head in from outside the carriage, "Master, madam, we have arrived."

The three of them got out of the car together, and they were greeted by black smoke with a burning smell. Jiang Ning, who didn't pay attention, was choked by the black smoke, lowered his head and coughed violently.

Mu Jingzhao helped her, and patted her on the back unhurriedly with his palm.

Even though Jiang Ning's cough was loud and earth-shattering, none of the people present seemed to have noticed the group of them, they just covered their noses with their hands and talked about something against the ruined wall.

The house was burnt to such an extent that its original appearance could no longer be seen. The beams and roof collapsed on the ground, and the gray-white ashes were scattered all over the ground. Occasionally, the breeze blew, and the debris was rolled up on the ground, and even the entire family and glory were lost. was blown away.Only by the steps at the door, on the plaque that has been burned so hard to see, the word "Zhang's House" can be vaguely glimpsed.

The fire seemed to have been extinguished not long ago, and there was still a bit of burning scorching smell in the wind. When it rushed towards the face, it only caused burning pain all over the body and difficulty in breathing.

In the scorched darkness, a few orange-red sparks flickered on and off, as if they were about to resurface at any moment.

Inside the gate whose shape could be vaguely glimpsed, many people in civilian clothes covered their mouths and noses with cloth, walked quickly into the ruins, and kept bringing out the corpses wrapped in white cloth.

The corpses wrapped in white cloth were carried out continuously, and they were neatly arranged at the gate of Zhang's mansion, occupying almost the entire section of the official road.

Jiang Ning glanced unconsciously at the scorched corpse that had just been transported out, but the outline outlined by the white cloth did not resemble the shape of a human body at all. On the edge of the white cloth, a charred corpse hung down weakly.There were only three fingers left on that hand, and the skin had peeled off.There is no sense of flesh and blood, just like a piece of coke with a strange shape.

"It's really a crime. I met the wife of this family yesterday, and she went to the market happily with her daughter. How did this happen?" A fat middle-aged woman in common clothes sighed.

"Oh, but at any rate, you can meet someone who is willing to collect the corpse. It's better than others."

Amid the conversations of passers-by, Jiang Ning, stimulated by what he saw and the scorching smell, drooped his head and retched.

She vomited like this, but it attracted the attention of many women present.

"Madam is pregnant?" As soon as the obese middle-aged woman said this, many women hurriedly gathered around, showing curiosity.

Women always seem to be extra enthusiastic about these short things in the family.

Before Jiang Ning could respond, Mu Jingzhao, who was patting her on the back, quickly replied, "Yes, the month is still young, so it doesn't show much."

Hearing Mu Jingzhao's answer, the enthusiasm on the faces of the women was even greater. After all, the two of them looked young and handsome, and those women naturally assumed the role of elders.

"Oh, you have to take good care of it. It's not stable in the past few months, so you should be more careful." As he said, he looked at Mu Jingzhao with some reproach, "Why did you bring her to such a place?" Just watch the excitement, this place is not clean, it will be bad if the tire gas moves."

Mu Jingzhao was reprimanded, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to speak, "No way, our wife is such a spectator, no one can stop her."

After Jiang Ning vomited for a while, he could hear Mu Jingzhao chatting passionately with a group of wives.

After all, she was still a big girl, and she was really ashamed to say such things, so she simply held her chest and continued to pretend to be disgusted, in case those women would focus on herself.

Hearing this sentence, a thin woman laughed lightly, "Madam's temperament is up to me. She is not good at anything, and she just likes to watch the fun." She looked at Mu Jingzhao and the two, perhaps feeling that their face He was born and dressed in extraordinary clothes, "Both of you are from other places."

Mu Jingzhao lied without changing his face, "Yes, our husband and wife are going on a business trip, passing by here, we plan to stay here overnight, and leave tomorrow morning. I heard that something happened here, so let's take a look."

A group of women nodded in agreement, but immediately, the obese woman showed a little surprise, "Qingshui County is not peaceful recently, you have to be careful, don't reveal your wealth, so as not to be targeted. "

The woman had a serious expression, and everyone around her nodded in agreement with solemn expressions.

"how do I say this?"

"Oh, it's not those bastards who are always watching some rich people to attack, and they will kill the whole family and set fire to them." She pouted at the Zhang family, " Well, isn’t this house just an example in front of you.”

"It's terrifying." Mu Jingzhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Isn't it? Just this month, I don't know how many high-ranking families have suffered. This family is lucky. Other families don't even have a body collector." The middle-aged woman shook her head, her eyes fell on the big family. There was a bit of pity on the faces of the boys who carried the corpses at the door.

"I don't know which family's adults are so kind-hearted." She sighed in a low voice, "It's one thing to be kind-hearted, but I'm afraid it won't cause trouble for the upper body."

Mu Jingzhao raised his eyebrows, "How?"

The middle-aged woman's expression suddenly became serious. She moved closer to Mu Jingzhao and the others mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "These bastards kill and set fires without any rules. Every three days, the method is exactly the same. But Half a month ago, it wasn't like it is now, and the one who collects the corpses of those high-ranking and powerful families who have been exterminated will be the next to suffer."

The woman stroked her chest with some lingering fear, "In this way, how can anyone dare to collect the corpse? It would be fine if there were some gold and silver treasures in it, but the belongings of these high-ranking families have long been taken away by those people. The servants swept away, there is nothing, such a thankless thing, how can anyone dare to do it?"

It was a few servants who carried the corpse and placed it at the gate, and the woman's voice suddenly dropped.

When those boys were gone, she said again, "Actually, I can't say for sure, maybe those bastards have changed their temperament, and it's not wrong to do more good things."

Those women kept talking non-stop, watching the fun and unknowingly all the money was transferred to Jiang Ning.

After a while, they had to give them the secret recipe for having children, and after a while they had to argue about naming the child, and they had a great time discussing it.

It's just that everything that was originally festive and lively, falling in front of this scorched earth, gave birth to a sense of weird absurdity.

At this moment, those boys who searched for the corpses finished their work, stood still at the door, and said in unison, "My lord, there are 27 people in the Zhang family, none of them survived, and all the corpses are here." (End of this chapter )
