"I understand your determination to avenge your wife, children and fellow villagers, but this is two different things from going on an expedition. Get up first." Long Qian stepped forward and gave him a hand.
The village chief stood up, his eyes that had been dry all night finally turned red at this moment.
Long Qian patted his shoulder and said softly: "Is there anything special these days? Who can you think of who drugged you?"
"It's Cai Wenzhong." The village chief clenched his fist hard.
"Cai Wenzhong?" Long Qian raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Yun Hongsi.
She had never heard of this name, so she probably didn't know this person.
"Are you talking about General Cai Wenzhong and Cai?" Yun Hongsi took two steps forward and looked at the village chief for a moment.
"Yes." The village chief met her gaze and nodded, "He appears occasionally these days, and he even hosted a banquet for the whole village last night."
The village chief thought about what happened last night, and his clenched fists rattled.
"He hasn't been back for so long and suddenly appears frequently. I should have guessed his intentions. I..."
The village chief frowned, and with a "pop" sound, a mouthful of turbid blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Are you okay?" Yuan Feijing went over to help him.
Long Qian shook his head and sighed: "His blood is attacking his heart. If you want to cry, village chief, don't hold it in all the time."
"If your wife sees you like this, she will definitely feel distressed."
The village chief wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and tears instantly fell down.
"I'm sorry for her, I'm sorry for everyone."
He pushed Yuan Feijing's hand away and knelt on the ground: "It's all my fault. I don't deserve to be the village chief. It was me who killed everyone."
"Who is Cai Wenzhong?" Long Qian looked away from him and looked at Yun Hongsi.
Whenever she thought of the innocent smiles of the children and the sincere advice of the villagers, her heart hurt.
If the village chief wants to cry, then cry well! After crying, you will feel better.
"Cai Wenzhong is Concubine Ling's lover, and Concubine Ling is Chu Qianqian's mother." Yun Hongsi frowned and returned her gaze to the village chief.
"I only heard that he was an orphan and grew up in a village, but I don't know where he was from."
"He is indeed an orphan." The village chief gritted his teeth, "If Mrs. Qin hadn't adopted him back then, he would have died long ago."
"Why is he so cruel? We are all brothers who grew up with him, and Mrs. Qin is still his mother. How could he do this?"
The village chief cried hoarsely, and many people who gathered around were crying silently.
Long Qian couldn't figure out why Cai Wenzhong wanted to massacre the village, but if it was really him who did it, she wouldn't let this man go.
After a while, she walked towards Yun Hongsi and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't the emperor punish Cai Wenzhong after what happened?"
"Of course." Yun Hongxi frowned. She couldn't save those children, and she felt bad all the time.
"It's a pity that he escaped. Cai Wenzhong is now a wanted criminal by the court."
"Such a vicious person should not stay in the world." Yuan Feijing gritted her teeth after hearing this.
"Let's talk about this later." Yun Hongsi sighed lightly.
"I have sent a message to my brothers that someone will send food and clothing today. The villagers' lives will not be a problem for the time being."
As soon as she finished speaking, a carrier pigeon landed on her shoulder.
Yun Hongsi caught the pigeon, took off the letterhead tied to its feet, and spread it out: "Oops!"
"What's wrong?" Long Qian and Yuan Feijing asked in unison.
Yun Hongsi turned around and handed out the letter, her expression very serious.
"A brother discovered the traces of Gu Sha, and the direction he went to was where the prince's war was."
