Chapter 315 Student Tragedy
Chapter 315 Student Tragedy
"Sir Weng, my child is also my child. You need to help me find out whether my child is dead or alive. How can you not see him for several months?"
"I..."
"Oh no, something terrible has happened. Mr. Li... Old Man Li, your grandson has found you."
When Weng Yan heard the people’s grievances, he was about to speak out to comfort them.
Suddenly, a farmer in his forties, wearing coarse cloth and holding a hoe, ran over to Old Man Li, panting.
I wonder if the farmer was scared out of his wits?
Or is it because it’s too hot in summer and you’re sweating all over?
The farmer was holding the festering body of a child who looked to be in his early teens.
The farmer half-knelt in front of Old Man Li and placed the dead body of the child in his arms in front of him!
"Oh no, sir. I am farmer Liu Wu. Today I want to go to the fields to weed."
"When we were weeding, a patch of rice seedlings had already dried up."
"When the common people used hoes to clear the dead seedlings, they ended up... they dug up the bodies of students, big and small!"
"Some of the children's bodies were already rotting and had maggots in them. It looked like they had been dead for almost a year!"
Then another farmer, Liu Wu, who was about sixty years old, was so frightened that he knelt in front of Weng Yan to report.
Several bodies of students of all ages were found in their fields. Some even said that the bodies were rotting and maggots were growing on them!
When Weng Yan heard this, he hurried to check it out.
"Take me with you..."
"I'll go as well."
Before Weng Yan could finish speaking, Weng Ruoyun also wanted to go and take a look.
Weng Ruoyun was a little nervous and flustered when she went to the crime scene for the first time!
When Weng Yan heard that Weng Ruoyun was going to the crime scene, he wanted to stop her because she was already more than five months pregnant!
Weng Yan thought that she was not his biological daughter after all, so he did not dare to interfere and nodded in agreement.
"Ten thousand people will follow me to the crime scene, and the rest of you and the Imperial Master will find a place to stay in Hengcheng. That's how it's arranged."
Weng Ruoyun selected 10,000 guards to accompany Weng Yan to the scene of the crime.
Along the way, many ordinary people followed the farmers to their fields.
When we arrived at the farmer's field, we saw that some of the plants had grown to be almost as tall as a normal person's waist.
Surrounded by mountains and clear water, it adds a vibrant atmosphere to the summer.
The land where the seedlings are planted is soft and overgrown with weeds. It looks like the farmer is here to hoe the land today?
After walking in the fields for about ten minutes, I came to a place where the seedlings had died.
A pungent smell of corpse made Weng Ruoyun feel nauseous instantly.
Weng Yan frowned and followed the farmer to the deep pit where the bodies were buried.
Looking at the messy pile of bodies, bloody and mangled, some of them were tied up!
Some of the students' bodies had half their faces uncovered, their bones covered with maggots, and blood oozing out of their wounds!
It makes people's scalp tingle!
"Queen, are you okay?"
The clever guard saw Weng Ruoyun holding her pregnant belly with one hand and gently patting her chest with the other hand, feeling nauseous and retching!
The guards hurried forward to support Weng Ruoyun, fearing that she would get into an accident and be blamed by His Majesty Qin Yan!
"No problem, take a few people to see what the father-in-law found?"
Weng Ruoyun insisted that she was fine!
He asked the guards to take a few people to see Weng Yan.
Weng Ruoyun subconsciously covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief embroidered with a phoenix.
The pungent smell of corpses made her, a pregnant woman, feel very uncomfortable!
She couldn't help but wonder how such good farming land could have such a strong stench of corpses?
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
After giving instructions to Weng Ruoyun, a dozen or so guards walked towards the place where Weng Yan was observing.
Several guards looked into the deep pit and could not help but feel disgusted by the piles of corpses!
He hurriedly ran to a place not far away and then felt nauseous and vomited.
Upon seeing this, Weng Ruoyun wanted to go forward and check it out in person, but was stopped by several guards who kindly advised him not to do so.
"Empress, that man-high pit is full of corpses!"
"Empress, you'd better not go over there, lest you disturb the baby in your belly!"
"Well... okay then!"
"You ask people to find a few stretchers. If there are no stretchers, you can cut down trees and weave them on the spot."
"By the way, where will the body be placed?"
When Weng Ruoyun smelled such a strong stench of corpse, she followed the guards' advice and stayed away.
He patiently instructed a few more guards to help Weng Yan prepare some people to carry the corpse.
Weng Ruoyun sensed such a strong stench of corpses, there must be more than one corpse?
"Yes, Queen."
When the guards heard Weng Ruoyun's order, they took dozens of guards and walked beside Weng Yan.
As soon as the guards walked over, they followed Weng Yan's instructions to carry the corpse.
Soon, dozens of guards were mobilized to start cutting down trees and making a lot of straw mats woven with grass.
Soon, a few more guards came and made more than a dozen stretchers in about half an hour.
