Magistrate Sun seemed surprised: "Oh, Qingyang camp is empty, are you sure?"
Supervisor Dong nodded sharply: "sure, absolutely sure!"
Magistrate Sun made a serious face: "Wu Dutou, do you know where the Qingyang camp has gone?"
Wu Er did not dare to say: "Sir, he...their acting commander was assassinated and seriously injured by bandits. They were very angry and went to seek revenge on the bandits."
"What!"
Magistrate Sun was furious: "Who asked them to go? Who gave them the power?"
After being angry for a while, Magistrate Sun suddenly said: "Supervisor Dong, I don't know how the war is going. I heard that you have troops under your leadership. Why don't you go over and have a look and support them by the way?"
Supervisor Dong shook his head like a rattle: "County Magistrate Sun, I brought people from the Dongping Army to participate in your battle in Qingyang County. It is unreasonable. Without the order of the prefect, I really can't help!"
"Why……"
Magistrate Sun sighed: "Forget it, but..."
"But what?"
Magistrate Sun was heartbroken: "The Qingyang Camp is full of dangers but not good luck!"
Supervisor Dong was stunned: "How do you say that?"
Magistrate Sun looked helpless: "The Qingyang Camp has just been rebuilt, with a small number of soldiers and insufficient weapons. If we rush into a fight with the Nanhu water bandits, the possibility of defeat is very high..."
"Report——"
Before Magistrate Sun finished speaking, a government servant rushed in in a panic.
"The county magistrate... The county magistrate is in trouble..."
Magistrate Sun's nose was almost crooked. What does it mean that the magistrate is bad?
"Asshole, speak slowly if you have something to say, why are you in such a hurry!"
The yamen servant gasped for a while before finally regaining his breath.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, a scout from Qingyang Camp just came back to report that Qingyang Camp was ambushed by Nanhu water bandits and is in danger. Please send troops to rescue immediately!"
"What? Qingyang camp is surrounded?"
County Magistrate Sun took the case and said: "Supervisor Dong, please obey the authority in urgent matters. Please send troops quickly to save Qingyang camp from fire and water!"
"this……"
Supervisor Dong hesitated for a moment and said to the officer who reported the news: "Where is the scout from Qingyang Camp who reported the news? Let him come to see me!"
The officer who reported the news shrank his neck and shut up.
Inspector Dong glared: "Why, are you lying about the military situation? There are no scouts from Qingyang Camp at all?"
The yamen servant squeaked and said: "That... that... scout, he... he he..."
Even Magistrate Sun couldn't stand it anymore: "Tell me, what happened to him?"
"He...he's dead."
"What?"
Supervisor Dong's nose is almost crooked. You guys are just sitting here playing dumb. What a coincidence. As soon as I came, Qingyang Camp went to suppress the bandits, and it happened to be surrounded. I thought I didn't know it. What do you want to do?
"Huh, Magistrate Sun, I am a rough man and don't like to beat around the bush. To tell you the truth, there is no way I can suppress bandits for you unless you can get the prefect to give me an order!"
Before Magistrate Sun said anything, the officer who reported the news became anxious: "Supervisor Dong, a scout from Qingyang Camp really came back to report the news. His body is outside now. If you don't believe me, ask him!"
Inspector Dong's nose turned red with anger. God, I ask him, even if he can answer a corpse, do I dare to ask...
No, I dare to ask, does he dare to answer?
Humph, if you want to embarrass me, you are still young, I will expose your lies now!
"County Magistrate, let's go and ask the scout from Qingyang Camp and hear what he has to say!"
Magistrate Sun was startled: "Supervisor Dong, are you mentally okay?"
Supervisor Dong looked very ugly: "County Magistrate Sun, how do you say this?"
Magistrate Sun smiled awkwardly: "Who in the right mind would ask a corpse? Can a corpse talk?"
Inspector Dong's eyes were very disdainful: "County Magistrate Sun, haven't you heard that corpses can talk?"
Magistrate Sun's eyes lit up: "Supervisor Dong, it turns out you have seen that kind of thing too. That's great. Whoever I told before, they didn't believe it. Come on, come on, as soon as you say that kind of thing, I will Don’t be sleepy anymore, let’s have a nice chat!”
Supervisor Dong: "..."
…
Emotions dragged on for a long time, but finally, Supervisor Dong and Magistrate Sun stood in front of the corpse from Qingyang Camp...
"Pull off the white cloth!"
"this……"
Several government officials looked at each other, waiting for others to take action.
Supervisor Dong's disdain for the government servants has reached the sky: "Trash, isn't it just a corpse? Look how scary you are. As a government servant, I'm even afraid of corpses. What's the use of you?"
While Supervisor Dong scolded the government officials, he reached out and lifted the white cloth covering the body...
"ah!"
Supervisor Dong, Dong Chuan, and Magistrate Sun all couldn't help but exclaimed and stepped back!
"He...he, he, how did he become like this?"
Inspector Dong pointed at the body on the stretcher, his words a bit embarrassing.
It's not that Inspector Dong is timid, it's mainly that this corpse is too scary.
Rather than a carcass, it was more like a pig hanging on a shelf that had been sold for less than half.
Either an arm is missing, a piece of meat is missing from the thigh, half of the skin is missing from the face, or a kneecap is dug out.
The chest had been opened, the internal organs were in pieces, and even several ribs had been removed.
The most important thing is that where the two eyes should have been, there are now two black holes.
Inspector Dong is not a timid person. He has been on the battlefield countless times and has seen countless corpses. It is not like he has never seen corpses worse than the corpse in front of him.
However, what is more annoying than this corpse is the first time Supervisor Dong encountered it today.
With such a mutilated, horrific, and inhuman body, who would believe that he could run back from the battlefield and even open his mouth to ask for help?
Two black holes in his eyes, can he run back?
His stomach was opened and air was leaking everywhere. How did he talk?
Can he walk without a kneecap?
Supervisor Dong was frightened and angry, while Dong Chuan beside him was simply scared.
The scouts in the Qingyang Camp were so damn fierce. They were so injured that they could still come back to report the news. If everyone in the Qingyang Camp was so fierce, could I still subdue them?
Magistrate Sun, as a civil servant, was so frightened that his face turned pale. He retreated from the outside into the lobby and sat on a chair. Only then could he breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn it, Yun Er, you bastard, you brought such a tattered corpse to scare me, do you think I have a long life?
Do you want to scare me to death so that you can inherit my beautiful concubine and precious daughter?
Seeing the reactions of Supervisor Dong and others, the corners of the mouths of several government servants nearby twitched.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, I would have laughed like a pig.
Could the corpse that had just been brought from Dr. Zhao's dissecting room not be scary?
It's a pity that I didn't scare you two grandsons to death. What a pity!
Supervisor Dong didn't hear anyone answer for a long time. He couldn't help but became furious and pointed at several government officials: "You guys are telling me, just this guy, how did he escape from the battlefield and how did he talk?"
