Homecoming Speech

Chapter 302 Identifying the Corpse

Fu Danggui and Bai Qingfeng didn't wait long, and Chen Orhu gathered the families who had lost their children in the village to Chen Orhu's home.

Because there were too many people, basically the whole family came here, so there was naturally not enough space in Chen Liehu's house, so he went to the Chen family's courtyard.

Fu Danggui's eyes fell on the faces of those hunters who were puzzled, surprised, worried, and even terrified, "Yesterday we found the bodies of five children at the Yundu Bridge in the south of the city. After questioning, the children were not from the city, so we went to We searched outside the city, and when we reached Orion Village under Fengshan Mountain, we wanted to come in and have a look.”

"Then I learned from Chen Orion that seven children from Orion Village disappeared after entering the mountain. The reason why I asked Chen Orion to gather you at this moment is to hope that each of your households will send a representative to go with us to the Jingzhao Yamen Let's go." Fu Danggui still couldn't bear to say the following words to identify the corpse.

But those people already understood what Fu Danggui would say, they quickly selected representatives, and followed Fu Danggui and the others to leave Orion Village.

After arriving at the Jingzhao Yamen, Fu Danggui gathered them outside Wuzuo's room, "Today's purpose is for you to identify the corpses, but the corpses cannot be taken back for the time being. We must find out the real cause of death of these children. Can you tell me about this?" have opinions?"

"I don't dare to have an opinion. I absolutely don't believe that my child was drowned!" Chen Liehu was the first to explain his opinion.

The other hunters also agreed, and some of them said: "My lord, please tell my child the truth, and bring to justice the real culprit who killed my child."

"When the investigation is clear, I will definitely live up to my trust!" Fu Danggui's voice was firm and high, spreading throughout the back hall of the Jingzhao Yamen.

Led by Xiaoqing and Huzi, the Orions entered one by one to identify the corpses, while Liu Yunian took notes at the side.

After noon, it was identified that the five corpses inside were all children from Orion Village, and two missing children have not yet been found.

Most of the seven hunters cried bitterly, and then they went home together. Fu Danggui asked Liu Yunian to lead Chen Orhu to the city to invite a doctor, and then they went to Orion Village to treat Chen Orhu's mother.

Bai Qingfeng frowned and looked at Fu Danggui, "There are two more children."

"Is it because we didn't search clearly yesterday?" Fu Danggui was torn between two thoughts, one was hope and the other was guilt.

"Don't worry, if the corpse is really ignored by us in the Qinghe, it should float up in the next two days. What makes me curious is, why did the children who went to Fengshan appear in the Qinghe? "Bai Qingfeng touched the white jade flute on his waist with his hand, his eyes were full of inquiry.

"Fengshan can be regarded as the source of Qinghe River." Xiaoqing paused and said.

Fu Danggui raised his hand and touched his chin, "So it is very likely that Yundu Bridge was not the place where they drowned? But there are no other injuries on the body. If they drifted down the river from Fengshan, there should be impacts on their bodies. Or some other wound."

"It's probably not Yundu Bridge, nor Fengshan Mountain." Bai Qingfeng was thoughtful.

Fu Danggui suddenly understood, "You mean the connection between the Qinghe River and the city south moat?"

"There is a sluice at the connection. The sluice will be opened during the day to facilitate the entry and exit of ships. At night, the lock will be closed. Let's go to the lock to see where we might be able to find the bodies of the other two children." Bai Qingfeng guessed.

Fu Danggui felt that it made sense, so he quickly raised his hand to call Huzi, and called a few yamen servants and frogmen. While it was still early in the day, they rushed to the city gate where the Qing River and the moat connected to the south of the city.

The water of the entire moat comes from the Qinghe River, the water from the Qinghe River is poured into the moat, and the Qinghe River passes through the city of Shengjing.

The sluice of Qinghe's moat was not yet closed, and there were a few delivery ships coming and going, so Fu Danggui had no choice but to ask the government officials to stop the boats for a while.

"Go down from here, see if there is any harvest, and be careful to get off the gate." Bai Qingfeng instructed the frogmen to investigate the location.

The few frogmen nodded, and jumped into the Qing River cautiously. The gates of the moat are divided into upper and lower gates, so the frogmen must be careful not to be caught.

Looking at the gradually setting sun, Fu Danggui could feel more and more that the summer is gone, and the autumn is cool, because there is no hot sweat on his forehead.

"Xiaobai, how is the winter in Shengjing?" Fu Danggui stood where the maple leaves fell, swaying in the breeze, but the golden and fiery red leaves fell from his side, some fell into the river, and some fell on his body. And some fell in his hair.

Bai Qingfeng was stunned, but soon came back to his senses, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked at his pair of peach blossom eyes, and said, "It's snowing heavily, covered in plain silver, it's a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers , you should appreciate it, it should be more spectacular than the light snow in the lake below the mountain."

"If this is the case, I am a little scared. I am afraid of cold and heat. Because of the events of the past, the cold invaded my body, so I can't do anything. It seems that I will leave here when winter comes." Fu Danggui took a deep breath, Chuhe hadn't come to him for a few days, he thought he had broken his heart completely, and their promise to each other might have been broken long ago.

"Are you planning to leave?" Bai Qingfeng looked at Fu Danggui in surprise.

Fu Danggui nodded lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Well, this place is really not suitable for me, I will just treat it as a dream, and I plan to resign after this matter is over."

"Don't you care?" Bai Qingfeng couldn't see Fu Danggui's ambition, but his integrity still existed, but something changed.

"In the world, I am not the only person with such ability. Without one of me, there will be tens of thousands of Fu Danggui who will go forward and succeed. They may do better than me." Fu Danggui sees it thoroughly, this is His father had told him the truth since he was a child.

Bai Qingfeng was obviously disappointed, but even more happy, because Fu Danggui finally let go of Chuhe, "You are right, but I hope you stay."

"I have left Chu River, so I have no protective umbrella. The Holy Majesty will not look at me too much. I have to leave here. I promised my mother that I will save my life no matter what." Fu Danggui's voice was low, worried the pain.

"I'll protect you, don't forget that I'm Dali Siqing." Bai Qingfeng looked at Fu Danggui sincerely, and finally said what he had always wanted to say.
