As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

354 Burial
Yun Qi asked again: "What about his wife and children?"

"Mrs. Qi Jingran died of illness two years ago and has never remarried. There are two concubines in the house. The three daughters are less than ten years old, and they don't know anything about it. According to the servants in the house, these two concubines are not the same. Without Qi Jingran's love, I might not even visit them all year round."

"Qi Jingran had two sons who left with Qi Jingran."

Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi fell silent.

In this case, it means that no one knows where Qi Jingran and the unknown number of soldiers have gone.

And it left such a mess to the Qijia and Qiyang Villa.

What he saw before his eyes were thousands of human lives, piles of bones, and those nameless corpses, whose sons, husbands, and fathers were unknown.

There are also those children who, at their ignorant and innocent age, were supposed to be at the knees of their parents and enjoy family happiness, but instead their heads were removed and they became the targets of other people's ambitions. Even their whole bodies were never found.

Xuan Ming walked in from the outside at this time and said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, many people have gathered at the foot of the mountain."

"They are all parents and relatives who have lost their children. Somehow they heard the news here and gathered here to seek answers."

Yun Qi slowly closed his eyes, "Let them come up."

Xuan Ming retreats.

In the past few days, among the corpses that were moved out of the underground palace, the children and adults had long been separated. The children's corpses were all placed in the garden, and the white flowers were extremely dazzling.

When the Xuanjia Army led the people into the villa, no one took a second look at the magnificent villa. Everyone's eyes fell on the white bones.

The poor people who kept themselves safe had never seen such a scene in their lives, and the garden became eerily quiet for a moment.

I don't know who it was that sobbed, which instantly caused everyone to burst into tears or shout hoarsely. Some elderly people even fainted from crying.

Although they were born in poverty, their children are still the most precious thing in the family. Some families go through great hardships just to have a son, and they work hard all year round just so that their children can grow up safely, happily and healthily.

But now these white bones have shattered all hope of life.

They can't even tell which child they are.

Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao stood in the distance.

Both of them have seen more misery in the world in their two lives, but today's scene, with such loud cries and sadness, still shocked the two of them.

……

The children's bones were finally buried in a vast open space with a wide view in the south of Qizhou City.

All the bones were buried together, yellow and white paper money flew in the sky, and the people paid homage together.

The huge tomb paper money was filled with all kinds of sacrifices, which were all the children liked to eat, wear and play with.

Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao changed into plain clothes and came to fill in paper money for those children.

Some people thought that they were also young couples who had lost a child, and they pulled them to cry and complain about the pain of losing their child.

The sky was clear and the sun was bright, the world was bright, and the sad and mournful cries continued for a long time.

Xie Zhaozhao never had children in his two lives, but he was also the daughter of his parents. He had seen the Shura field after so many gunfires, but his grief for them was like a piercing pain.

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were filled with moisture, but a more determined coldness arose in his eyes.

Yun Qi called the officials in charge of burial matters and ordered the mountains and fields of sunflowers to be planted around the huge tomb. He also asked eminent monks to perform rituals to save the souls of the dead, hoping that these children who died in infancy could be reincarnated into good families in the next life and live a peaceful and happy life.

As for the unknown corpses of adult men, they were also buried next to the children's graves, and green pine trees were moved to provide them with shade.

It's like those nameless soldiers guarding those children who died in infancy.

Things are basically over here.

King Qiyang was still in a semi-drowsy state, Qi Jingran wanted to pursue him, and the Qi family also had to deal with it.However, how to deal with it still had to be reported to Emperor Xuanwu for instructions.

Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao did not return to Qizhou Post House, but returned to Qiyang Villa.

When dismounting, Xie Zhaozhao said: "I want to catch Qi Jingran, this evil ghost in the world."

"Ah."

Yun Qi responded, "He should be quartered."

Xie Zhaozhao is a resolute person. He will act on his own when he decides to do something and go all out. Now that he has returned to Qiyang Villa, he will personally check and interrogate everyone related to Qi Jingran.

That Qi Jingran stayed at Qiyang Villa for so long, and he still built such a large underground palace and did such appalling things——

She didn't believe it. There was no clue in the entire villa, and no one had heard anything about it.

Could Qi Jingran take away all the people who knew about it, or kill them all?
Impossible.

Everything in this world can be traced as long as it is done.

Yun Qi also asked Lu Hanqiu, Xuan Ming and others to carefully investigate the entire Qiyang Mountain inside and outside, including the underground palace and the hinterland of the valley, leaving no stone unturned.

Two days later at night, Xuanming suddenly came to report that the old King Qiyang was awake!

Yun Qi was stunned for a moment.

At this time, he and Xie Zhaozhao were having dinner together. Xie Zhaozhao said that he had asked some useful questions from Qi Jingran's concubine, and they were discussing how to proceed.

"Why did you suddenly wake up?" Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi walked towards Fushou Hall together.

Xuan Ming replied: "I don't know. I've been watched over by someone. I haven't woken up for so many days. Today I can suddenly speak."

Yun Qi said: "You will know if you go and take a look."

As they walked forward, Yun Qi told Xuan Ming to invite Lu Jingrong.

Lu Jingrong has also been running around the villa in the past few days, seeming to be looking for secret information from other agencies. He is very interested in this.

Yun Qi also hoped to discover other unknown situations, so he naturally let him go with his spontaneous behavior.

As soon as Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao entered the courtyard of Fushou Hall, they heard a series of weak coughs coming from inside.

When they entered the house, they saw that King Qiyang had been helped by the waiter to sit up. When he saw Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao coming in, he stretched out his hands towards them with difficulty.

Yun Qi walked closer and said, "Old Prince."

"You are, you are King Dingxi, His Highness..." King Qiyang said with difficulty: "We haven't seen each other for only a few years, but you have grown so big."

He looked at Xie Zhaozhao again: "You...you are the seventh girl of the Xie family...you are also very good-looking...Although I can't wake up, I know that you and Yinran have visited me several times …”

King Qiyang, who was over seventy years old, found it extremely difficult to speak every word, as if he had to use all his strength.

"I'm old...no longer useful..." King Qiyang leaned on his servant and panted.

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment, then went to the table and poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Yun Qi caught it and brought it to the old man to drink. After the old man calmed down, Yun Qi said: "The old prince said that even though he couldn't wake up, he knew everything. Does he know about Qiyang Villa?"

"I know..." King Qiyang nodded with his eyes closed, a sad and bitter smile gradually appeared on his thin face: "I... I have been loyal to Da Qin and your Majesty all my life, but in the end I didn't know how to teach my son, so he did this. Waiting for disobedience..."

"I am ashamed of Your Majesty and of Great Qin."
