Chapter 113 The Sackclothed Corpse Collector
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Linzhou was successfully recaptured by Jiao Yong, Tian Qiang and others.
However, this does not mean that the disaster is over. Linzhou and Liuzhou suffered heavy casualties due to the war. It is unknown how many civilians died in the war and on the way to escape.
There was no one to bury the dead bodies. The suffering and resentment they suffered during their lives turned some of these corpses into monsters and began to wander around and attack the living.
In response to these circumstances, the people who suppressed the secrets were now severely weakened. They could not even deal with the troubles in the city, let alone the troubles in the villages and wilderness outside the city.
However, under this circumstance, a man wearing linen clothes and a bamboo hat began to appear in the war-torn Linzhou area.
These people wander in the wilderness, traveling between villages and towns, collecting the bones that are exposed in the wild and have no one to bury them.
These people can also be found in many villages and towns that were devastated by military disasters. After the military disasters, these villages were basically filled with tragic scenes of ten rooms and nine empty houses.
The only ones who survived were the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled who did not dare to resist at first and lived in an ignoble way.
Naturally, they are unable to deal with most of the corpses, especially those that have undergone corpse transformation, which are the source of disaster. Ordinary people will die if they touch them!
But just when the villagers were desperate, these corpse collectors wearing linen clothes and bamboo hats suddenly appeared.
These people never spoke, but just immersed themselves in work, helping to collect the bones, suppress the mutated corpses, and deal with the strange things that harmed people.
These people also dispose of corpses in different ways. Some corpses that look like only skeletons or are severely decomposed will be dug and buried directly on the spot, while some relatively complete corpses will be taken away in shrouds.
Those who are still alive in the villages and towns are mostly grateful to these people.
Although they didn't understand why these corpse collectors did this, there was no doubt that they solved the problem of a large number of corpses.
The appearance of such a group of people has greatly reduced the probability of strange disasters occurring in Linzhou and Liuzhou.
"You mean these body collectors do nothing but collect corpses?"
At this time, Jiao Yong, who was having a headache about how to resume production after the military disaster, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard the situation reported by his subordinates.
"Yes, my subordinates even followed them for a while. These body collectors didn't do much other than collect corpses and dig holes to bury people."
"However, my subordinates also noticed that their strength is extraordinary. Corpses, small tricksters, and big tricksters are basically unable to do anything to them!"
The Silver Medal Detective from the Suppression Division who came to report the situation had a face full of admiration. It was obvious that these corpse collectors had touched him a lot.
"They... forget it, don't worry about it. Since these people have no other intentions, it is a good thing anyway!"
Jiao Yong, who originally wanted to say something, finally gave up. His first priority now was how to deal with the mess in front of him.
In the cemetery outside Luohe City, Lin Feng was still basking in the sun with his eyes closed in the yard.
He spent most of his free time in this way during the past two days. The paper figures that were originally scattered in various places were also transferred to Linzhou and Liuzhou.
In just two days, Linzhou Paper Man collected more than 3,000 corpses for him, and there were so many corpses that he couldn't even bury them.
As a result, most of the corpses could only be parked in the cemetery deep in Xinglong Ridge. In order to prevent the corpses from mutating, Lin Feng specially arranged two thousand heavily armored paper men to guard the cemetery there.
From then on, he would bury some one after another every night, so as to prevent his strength from rapidly expanding to the point where his body could not bear it.
"The rebels in some cities in Liuzhou have already surrendered when they saw something was wrong. The timing of the court's arrival was really coincidental. They arrived at this time to take advantage."
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and felt speechless for the current situation.
After several rounds of intrigues and struggles for power, the counter-rebellion army from the capital finally arrived.
These people are really powerful. They can pick peaches right after they arrive. The credit for recovering Liuzhou will definitely fall on these people.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Lin Feng. It's just that he feels disgusted and wants to complain.
But there were others who felt more disgusting than Lin Feng.
In the palace of the Lord of Luohe City, Li Yanbing listened to the eunuch reciting the contents of the imperial edict in a high-pitched voice before bowing and saluting.
"Master Li, why don't you thank me quickly?"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Haha, Mr. Li, from now on you will be the governor of Jiangzhou. The emperor originally wanted to call you to Beijing to reward you in person to show his favor, but later all the ministers said that the situation in Jiangzhou, Linzhou, and Liuzhou is turbulent. You We can’t walk, so we can only make a trip.”
The eunuch seemed quite happy, with a rather cheerful smile on his face.
"Yes, thank you for your work, father-in-law!"
Li Yanbing took the hand from the other party with a dull face, and then replied lightly.
It's all because the eunuch was accompanied by a group of officials of all kinds. This way of mixing sand and arranging spies should not be too obvious.
What makes Li Yanbing feel sick the most is that she has no way to refuse such a thing. Who makes Jiangzhou have so many official vacancies now?
Seeing Li Yanbing's dull expression, the eunuch didn't care. Anyway, he just had to get as much benefit as he wanted later.
After a period of false greetings, Li Yanbing finally got rid of these troubles.
But when she returned to the study, there was even more trouble waiting for her.
Because the person sitting here is the daughter of King Li, Princess Qingyuan. At this time, she has taken off her veil, revealing her beautiful face.
Seeing Li Yanbing coming in, Princess Qingyuan looked at her with a smile, and then said to her with concern:
"If Lord Li is tired, just let your subordinates do these things. As long as you lie that you are not feeling well, can those people still break into your boudoir?"
"You don't need to worry about what I should do. I have already said that whoever the senior wants to see will naturally appear. It's useless for you to ask me!"
Li Yanbing looked at Princess Qingyuan in front of her and her words were still unyielding. She didn't want that senior to have anything to do with King Li.
"Hehe, I've heard recently that the Guishi Zhensi is collecting things like thousand-year-old steles, underworld pottery bowls, and hundred-year-old yin wood from all over the place."
"I happen to have some in my hands. I wonder if these things can make that senior meet me?"
Princess Qingyuan still smiled when she heard her refusal without hesitation, but what she said made Li Yanbing's heart skip a beat.
There is no doubt that someone in the Guishi Zhensi leaked the secrets. Of course, this does not rule out that King Li himself has a spy in the Guishi Zhensi.
"Or do you think these things can't impress that senior, so you want to take the initiative to block them for him?"
Princess Qingyuan's words made her feel even more uneasy. She didn't think she had such power.
If she really did this, if the senior found out later, it might wipe out the old feelings she had accumulated with great difficulty.
"Huh~ Do you really want to meet that senior?"
Li Yanbing took a deep breath and then asked Princess Qingyuan.
"Haha, of course!"
Princess Qingyuan confirmed her words directly. She had spent a lot of effort in these days to obtain this information and collect these materials!
"Well, Princess Ziye, come here tonight and follow me to meet that senior!"
After making the decision, Li Yanbing no longer worried about gains and losses, so she said directly to Princess Qingyuan.
"Okay, I will be on time tonight!"
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Princess Qingyuan couldn't help but show a bright smile on her face.
