After shopping, Li Dao returned to the Governor's Mansion with wine.
After Jiu'er went to the inner palace, he found Chen You again in a courtyard of the outer palace and ordered, "Chen You, send someone to inform Wei Yun, Yang Yan and the others that the city can be reopened after another three days of blockade." Once the door is open, you only need to send someone to guard the door normally."
"clear!"
Chen You nodded.
At this moment, a figure suddenly hurried into the courtyard.
"Boss, I finally found you!"
After seeing Li Dao, Xue Bing hurriedly came forward.
Li Dao looked back at Xue Bing, who was in a hurry and asked, "What's wrong with you? You're in such a hurry."
After Xue Bing breathed a long sigh of relief, he immediately said, "Boss, we found something under the Sun family mansion that you need to go and see for yourself."
"Sun family?"
After the Sun family was destroyed, everything left inside was naturally confiscated and given to the Governor's Mansion for daily operations.
The person responsible for handling these matters is Xue Bing.
...
Soon after, Li Dao, led by Xue Bing, followed all the way to the Sun family's mansion.
At this time, the entire Sun family's residence had been completely blocked by the Futu Army.
As soon as he walked into Sun's house, Li Dao frowned slightly and sniffed the air. A faint smell of corruption floated in the air.
After that, the two of them went all the way to the depths of the Sun family's mansion.
After entering a house, the smell of corruption became even stronger.
At the same time, a hole dug into the ground appeared in front of Li Dao.
"This is......"
"Boss, you'll know as soon as you follow me down."
Soon, the two of them went all the way through the cave entrance to the depths of the underground.
Finally, the two came to an empty underground space.
There is an empty pool covered in red blood stains in the middle of the underground space.
This is no other place, it is the place where the three ancestors of the Sun family retreated.
But these are not the focus now.
The focus is on the bones accumulated in this underground space.
At the same time, Li Dao also noticed that there was a big pit not far away.
At this time, dozens of people from the Pagoda Army were digging for something.
When Li Dao walked over and took a look, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Because what the Pagoda Army was digging for was nothing else but the bones hidden deeper underground in this underground space.
At this time, dozens of pagoda soldiers had dug more than ten meters into the ground, but an endless supply of bones could still be seen below.
Moreover, there are numerous bones scattered all around the soil, which looks very scary.
There are thousands of bones that we can see now, and we don’t know how many more are buried underneath.
Xue Bing said solemnly to the side, "Boss, when I was investigating the case, I found that since the Tiannan Three Families were formed, a large number of people have disappeared every year in Tiannan City. If nothing else happens, most of the missing people have disappeared. It flowed here.”
Hearing this, Li Dao fell into silence.
Although they are used to death when they come out of the battlefield.
But that's because the vast majority of those who died were their enemies.
If nothing unexpected happens, most of these bones should be innocent people living in Tiannan City.
After a moment of silence, Li Dao said, "Apart from these, did you find anything else?"
"have."
After speaking, Xue Bing took out a book that looked like a ledger from his arms, "We found this in the room above this underground space."
Li Dao stretched out his hand to take it, turned the first page, and the content inside was immediately displayed in front of him.
"In the 321st year of the Qian Dynasty, on the eleventh day of the fourth month in the spring, I offer thirty portions of the essence and blood of boys and thirty portions of the essence and blood of virgins."
"On the 18th day of the 10th month in the autumn of the 321st year of the Great Qian Dynasty, I offer eighty portions of the essence and blood of adult men and fifty portions of women's blood."
"Three hundred and twenty-two years of the Qian Dynasty, in spring..."
After reading the contents of the first page, Li Dao's whole body became cold.
Then he reached out and continued to read, and with each page he turned, the breath on his body became colder.
Not long after, he turned to the last page of the ledger.
There was only one sentence written on it.
"In the year 351 of the Great Qian Dynasty, on the eleventh day of the fourth month in the spring, I offer sixty portions of the essence and blood of boys and sixty portions of the essence and blood of virgins."
Daqian 351 is the current year of Daqian.
It is mid-June now, which means that the things recorded here happened very recently before Li Dao came to Tiannan City.
You don't need to think too much, you just need to look at the scene in front of you to clearly understand what the so-called blood essence is.
Looking at the time again, records began thirty years ago. The blood and semen were offered twice a year in spring and autumn, and the amount of blood and semen increased year by year.
There are tens of thousands of people recorded on this alone.
This is only the donation, and does not include the Sun family's own internal consumption.
After all, judging from their cultivation techniques, they probably also rely on blood essence for cultivation.
If you calculate it this way, everyone in the Sun family can say that they are guilty.
As for the confession mentioned in this account book, Li Dao knew who it was for without even thinking about it.
Apart from the Evil Blood Sect behind the Sun family, he could not think of anyone else.
"Thirty years ago..."
Li Dao thought of what Zhou Sheng had said to him before.
Thirty years ago it was the time when the Governor's Mansion was in decline, and the three great families also rose to prominence at that time.
However, these are no longer the point.
The former Governor's Mansion was in a state of decline probably due to some other special reasons.
What he is focusing on now is the so-called Evil Blood Sect.
Originally, his plan was to deal with the internal affairs of Tiannan City.
With Tiannan City as the center, extend the power of the Governor's Mansion to the surroundings little by little, and wait until the accumulated strength is almost enough to try to solve the problems in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
But the scene before him changed Li Dao's thoughts.
Still centered on Tiannan City, it began to slowly extend to the surrounding areas.
The so-called change was that he wanted to test how deep the water in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was in advance.
The goal is to start with this so-called Evil Blood Sect.
Li Dao is a decisive person.
Once you have such an idea, you will immediately arrange it according to your idea.
After putting away the account book, Li Dao said to Xue Bing, "We can put aside the matters in the city for the time being and concentrate on investigating the Evil Blood Sect."
Xue Bing was stunned. After spending a long time together, he quickly understood what Li Dao meant and said, "I will arrange for someone to investigate right away."
Finally, Li Dao looked at the countless bones in front of him and said, "After these bones are dug out, the Sun family's mansion will be burned down. I don't want to see traces of the Sun family in Tiannan City anymore."
"clear."
...
When Li Dao was reorganizing Tiannan City.
As early as the moment the Sun family was destroyed, news about him, the new governor, spread out to all parts of southern Xinjiang with Tiannan City as the center.
Soon, Li Dao's name began to appear inside Shiwandashan.
