Chapter 353 The evil recipe
There were hundreds of corpses in the underground palace, and the scene was so horrific that it would take a lot of time just to clean them up.

The mutilated corpses were moved out of Qi Yinran's yard one after another. They were so full that they couldn't fit in the front yard and could only be placed on the verandah and atrium.

For a time, the beautifully decorated Qiyang Villa went from singing birds and smelling flowers to overflowing with stench.

The servants in the villa are basically under control.

The servants followed the cracks in the doors and windows and looked at the tragic scene. Their faces turned blue and white. They could not imagine that there would be such a hell on earth under the ground they walked on every day.

Qi Yinran didn't expect it either.

His whole face was pale and bloodless, and he murmured: "How could it be possible...how could it be possible..."

Yun Qi said coldly: "This is the fact. Tell me, where did Qi Jingran go?"

"I don't know..." Qi Yinran shook his head blankly, "I don't know, I really don't know."

All he knows now is that the crimes committed by the Qi family cannot be washed away with blood. His wife, children... everyone will have to pay the price in blood for this matter.

Yun Qi frowned for a moment, then raised his hand to signal the Xuanjia Army behind him to take Qi Yinran down.

After dawn, he asked Qi Yinran for questioning, but Qi Yinran didn't know anything about it. He suspected that Qi Yinran was deliberately ignorant, so he brought him here and asked him to take a look clearly. All the evidence was in front of him, and the Qi family was doomed.

I hope he will stop having delusions after seeing it and explain a little bit. Who would have thought that Qi Yinran looked so shocked and was not pretending to be shocked.

I'm afraid he really doesn't know.

Now that I have a mental breakdown, I can’t ask any questions for the time being.

Yes, the scene here is so tragic. Yun Qi has killed countless thieves and bandits in his two lives, and has seen many miserable battlefields that make people's hearts burst. Seeing this scene makes them feel uncomfortable, let alone others.

Yun Qi closed his eyes.

The affairs of the Qi family are closely related to Qi Jingran who left home. If Qi Yinran can't ask anything here, he can only ask the servants, or Qizhou Sima, Qiyang Villa and so many servants.

They were interrogated and questioned one by one, and it took a long time without sleep.

"Aren't there still officials in Qizhou?"

Xie Zhaozhao's voice came from behind, "Let those officials intervene and assist Dali Temple in the investigation."

Yun Qi turned around and saw Xie Zhaozhao walking this way. He subconsciously wanted to stop her, but in the end he took a step to the side and did not move.

She had already seen it.

"After all, Qiyang Villa is within the territory of Qizhou. All officials here are guilty of lax supervision and deceiving the Holy Spirit. If they do their jobs well, they can make meritorious deeds. If they get away with it, then they should be held accountable and pay homage to these unknown souls. Give an account to the people."

"it is good."

Yun Qi said: "Then ask Qizhou Governor Liu Hongsheng to bring Qizhou officials to assist."

Xie Zhaozhao stepped forward and scanned the wreckage with his eyes. It was really shocking. He couldn't imagine the character of the person who wanted to refine armored soldiers, but he could actually do it.

It took three days to clean up these corpses, and finally sort them out.

There were more than [-] children's corpses. Because the corpses were incomplete, the exact number could not be determined.

There were 720 adult corpses, most of which had broken limbs.

The armors brought out from the underground palace were exactly the same as those worn by the armored soldiers at the inn.

Three days later, when the number was reported, the iron coat of the armored man in the posthouse was also sawed open according to the method taught by Lu Jingrong, and the man welded in the iron coat was removed.

After Lu Jingrong inspected it personally, his expression was very solemn.

"What's going on?" Xie Zhaozhao stood on one side, and after waiting for too long, his tone became a little anxious: "Sir?"

"Ah."

Lu Jingrong silently looked at the almost humanoid person lying on the bed, "You guessed it right, it's what you said... This person was given drugs and turned into a powerful soldier. He doesn't know how to be injured." It hurts to only listen to one person’s orders.”

"As for the medicine used, it is based on..." Lu Jingrong paused and then said: "Using children's heads as a guide. This method is very sinister. I have only seen it in a broken ancient book."

"At the time, I just thought it was bizarre and unbelievable, but I didn't expect that there were really people in the world who could practice it..."

At least as far as the man they caught was concerned, he was refined.

I just don’t know how many have been refined and what the probability of success is.

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "What ancient book is it?"

"Even the cover of the book is torn." Lu Jingrong shook his head and said, "I also got it by chance while practicing medicine, and the book was later lost."

Xie Zhaozhao originally thought that if he could find the book and investigate its origin, he might be able to know more.

As soon as Lu Jingrong said this, he knew that this idea would not work.

However, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but said: "Could it be that someone from the Qi family obtained the book after it was lost and used it?"

"That's unknown."

Both of them fell silent. After a while, Xie Zhaozhao took a deep breath, said goodbye to Lu Jingrong and went to look for Yun Qi.

Yun Qi has been at Qiyang Villa for the past two days. Xie Zhaozhao returned to the inn yesterday and sent his fourth brother and Mr. Miao over, and he and Lu Jingrong came to check on the soldier.

Now that she got the answer, she naturally wanted to go back.

Qiyang Villa is a hundred miles away from Qizhou City. Xie Zhaozhao rode fast all the way and finally arrived before sunset.

The stench lingered in the villa, and the red flowers and green leaves were tainted with a dead air.

When Xie Zhaozhao found Yun Qi, Lu Hanqiu was reporting the matter to Yun Qi.

Yun Qi waved him over.

Xie Zhaozhao heard Lu Hanqiu say: "A group of people from the Qizhou Camp were sent out more than half a year ago, saying they were to help build roads for the people in the mountain villages. They have not returned since leaving the camp. It is thought that this group of people was used to refine soldiers." .”

"The underground palace leads to the valley behind the villa, and the entrance and exit passage is there. Based on the decay of the bones inside, the underground palace has been abandoned for at least two months."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "My fourth brother said that he was imprisoned three months ago. At that time, sounds could still be heard occasionally from behind the wall."

"Qi Yinran also said that he didn't know there was a mystery under his room. The stone steps leading to the secret room from his room were all built later -"

"I guess they had not evacuated when the fourth brother came. Later, His Highness passed by Qizhou, which made them panic, and they evacuated the place in a hurry. The second master of the Qi family, Qi Jingran, was not out on business at all, but escaped! "

Then Qi Yinran, who knew nothing but was kind and filial, was left here to bluff, delay time, and stabilize everyone.

Yun Qi looked gloomy, "Doesn't anyone know the whereabouts of Qi Jingran?"

"No."

Lu Hanqiu shook his head and said: "No matter the servants in the house or Qizhou Sima, they can't explain why Qi Jingran left very quickly."

"What he did was only known to those who were with him. The others didn't know about it. Those people left with Qi Jingran."
