It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 346 Scimitar
Seeing his expression, Mu Liuyun knew that there must be something more important that he wanted to talk to him about, and he didn't speak up when he was brought up for punishment. He probably felt it was inconvenient, so he quickly sat down opposite Yuan Mu, Wait for him to speak.

"Before I asked you to help me pay attention to the incidents of the bandits. What did you gain?" Yuan Mu waited for Mu Liuyun to sit down, and asked with a serious expression, "Especially the special ones that are different from the ordinary ones." of."

"Yes!" Mu Liuyun nodded immediately, "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you, my lord, but I have never found a suitable opportunity. After all, I have never directly dealt with bandits before. Things, the experience in this area is still a bit lacking, and I don’t know if there will be less knowledge, so rare and strange situations appear, so I dare not speak out.”

"If you think there is anything unusual, just say it. Now we are in your house. No matter what we say, we will not bring out this door." Yuan Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the study, "So don't have any worries, just speak freely .”

"Well, then I'll tell you what I think is not right!" Mu Liuyun didn't have much worries in front of Yuan Mu. Hearing his stance, he immediately said, "I'm After sorting out a large number of bandits' records, I found that there are indeed some strange things in it. The time span before and after dismantling them is longer, and you can't see anything strange if they are scattered in various places, but if they are organized together, it will be different up.

In the past ten years, there have been more than a few hundred incidents of bandit rebellion reported in various places. In these records, there have been no less than six or seven times that people who were robbed suddenly became inexplicably demented, not claiming to have seen When it comes to Niutoumamian and Xiaogui Judge, I just don't remember anything, and I haven't seen any suspicious people.

If we hadn't happened to encounter such a thing when we were in Yuyong County last time, I had experienced it myself, and then there was the matter of Shen Yu's brothers being robbed by darts before me, maybe I wouldn't have thought too much , Now after going through all that, if I still can't see that it's caused by smoke, then my head can really be used as a flowerpot. "

"Well, go ahead." Yuan Mu nodded after hearing Mu Liuyun's words.

"I also paid special attention to the examinations and autopsies of the civilians who were injured or killed by bandits. Most of them are unremarkable, but there are also some unusual ones.

In our Central Plains area, whether it is bandits or officers and soldiers, the weapons are nothing more than swords, guns, swords and halberds. Most of the knives are simple knives, and the swords are also ordinary swords. All straight. "

Mu Liuyun became more and more energetic as she talked, she got up and pulled a piece of paper over, took a small charcoal strip beside it, and began to draw on the paper. She was not comfortable drawing patterns with a brush, and the soft tip always She doesn't follow orders so much, but this little charcoal saves a lot of trouble. It is convenient for her to check the case on weekdays to make a mark, or to memorize something temporarily.

Don't look at her drawing other things that are difficult to distinguish, but she is very skilled in drawing people's figures. She simply outlines the waist and abdomen of a person in two or three strokes, and then draws on it with charcoal A line of uneven thickness appeared.

"Look, my lord, this is a catalog collected by a southern state about seven years ago. It records the massacre of a local village. This is what impressed me the most in the drawings drawn by the local writers.

A local village was robbed by bandits. Those bandits were extremely cruel and killed all the old and young in that village. Except for the animals that could eat meat or pull them, there was no gap in the whole village, including the ancient and rare old people. And young children with vertical hair.

Most of the dead in the village had unusual stab wound marks on their bodies, and this was the most common one.

We usually see the edge of the knife cut by the simple knife. The place where the knife enters is the deepest part of the wound. The knife may be very long, but the edge of the knife is not long, and the shallower parts on both sides are very short.

But this is not the case in the grid records of this village massacre case. According to the records left by the local officials, the wounds on the villagers' bodies were extremely deep. They were obviously cuts, but they almost cut through everyone, and the knife wounded one head. One end is deeper and the other is shallow. I feel that after the blade hits the body, when it is drawn back, the blade uses force to cut the flesh deeper.

My lord, forgive me for my stupidity. Since I joined the army as a manager in Jiangzhou, I have handled quite a few cases. I dare not say that I am well-informed, but at least I know a little about the injury examination. But this kind of knife wound has never been seen before.

After I saw these autopsy items, I also pondered for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out what kind of weapon this would be. "

"Machete." Yuan Mu said at this moment.

"What? Scimitar?" Mu Liuyun was a little puzzled, she had never seen this kind of weapon before, "What does it look like?"

Yuan Mu took the charcoal stick from her hand, quickly drew a few strokes on the paper, and quickly outlined the outline of a weapon. In terms of drawing skills, he was much better than Mu Liuyun.

Mu Liuyun wasn't in the mood to think about these things at the moment. She looked at Yuan Mu's sketch curiously, and drew an unfamiliar knife on the paper. The handle was very short, not as long as the plain knife, and the blade was like a crescent moon. It is generally curved, while the tip of the knife is long and sharp.

Even for someone like Mu Liuyun who doesn't know much about weapons, judging from his identity as an official, this is a very fierce weapon. The tip of the knife can be picked, the blade can be chopped, and the arc is also very sharp. Pay attention, once the knife is cut in, in the process of drawing the knife out, the arc can be drawn, and the wound can be cut deeper without much effort.

"I've never seen such a scimitar before!" Mu Liuyun looked at Yuan Mu in surprise, "My lord, how did you see that it was such a weapon that caused the injury?"

"Because I've seen it before." Yuan Mu sighed slowly, "When I was in the northern border, that's how the bandits over there hurt people."

Mu Liuyun felt a thump in his heart, pursed his lips, and couldn't find what he had just said.

When she saw the relevant records about Zhongmiyan, she already thought of the barbarians, but there is still a big gap between the barbarians who robbed and plundered with misty smoke, and the barbarians who brutally slaughtered villages with sharp machetes, and her mood also changed. The child became heavy.

"You said that the village massacre case was seven years ago?" Yuan Mu asked, "Are there any similar records in the past two or three years?"

"No more," Mu Liuyun quickly shook her head. She also paid special attention to it after seeing it at the time, "There has never been a similar record in the past two or three years."
