Chapter 58 What I have seen

So, soon after, Jiang Ting, accompanied by a small group of people, arrived at the first scene near Baqiao City, located in the southeast suburb of Chang'an City. A small abandoned village withered and the building collapsed to the point where only some walls remained.

Logically speaking, as a large population, the Guannei land is also the outskirts of Chang'an City in Gyeonggi Province; there should not be many abandoned places. However, because a large number of hydraulic workshops were established along the Ba River coast connected to Baqiao City, it inevitably affected the water use of surrounding farmland and was abandoned.

The scene that was said to be very tragic at the time has been cleaned up; however, when Jiang Ting walked into these broken walls, there were still only the black traces on the walls and the dry residues in the gaps; and the ground still grew sad green buds of tender grass.

Although it was a symbolic story of false response, Jiang Ting was also quite curious about what it was that could kill and tore apart six Jinwu children with full armor in a short time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the two Jinwu soldiers wearing bright armor behind Guo Feng.

Thanks to the many conveniences and legacies brought by the time traveler Liang Gong, the forging technology and steel output of the Tang Dynasty also had rapid development. Therefore, in the Jingshui and the upper reaches of the Yellow River, not only are there special coal transportation terminals, but also nearby iron smelting yards and hydraulic forging plants.

Therefore, while the armor was excellent, the Tang army had a high armor rate; it was also exported in large quantities as rewards and exclusive products from the court, and was conquering far-reaching vassal states in the foreign territory. Just like the Mingguang armor worn by these two Jinwu soldiers, it was also an improved product.

Without the round protection that was nicknamed as the iron bra in later generations, the whole breastplate was replaced by. Although the corresponding neck, shoulder, arms and thigh parts were all lightweight, the large steel surface that covered the chest and hem tightly looked quite reliable.

If he uses his "guidance" ability to conduct long-range attacks, it will be difficult to penetrate the locations blocked by these steel sheets in one breath, and he needs to find other exposed heads, faces, necks, and lower gears to achieve success in one fell swoop. Moreover, when the number of people is too high, it will basically be blind.

Then, when he walked around inside and out, he really didn't find anything; after all, it was said that the scene was cleaned up at the beginning, and even the blood-stained soil on the ground was shoveled back. Guo Feng, who was accompanying him, could not get more results by dictating some records of on-site inspections at that time.

Despite this, as a accompanying (surveillance), the congregation Guo Feng patiently calculated the scene at that time and some subsequent guesses and judgments. Even Jiang Ting had no more clues besides asking questions. After all, more than two months have passed.

However, Jiang Ting finally came up with an idea to find the highest place near the abandoned village; to take a good look at the terrain here. Then, he climbed up easily with his hands and feet, and a tree near the Ba River was lush and pavilion like a cover, almost covering a small half acre of big trees.

However, this look made him see a clue. This abandoned village was only the size of dozens of families; but the collapsed and abandoned building layout seemed very compact and regular; this was also a typical military village layout feature used to rebuild the military soldiers during the revival of Taixing.

All the houses are neatly surrounded by the center, leaving a large open space; it is not only a gravel yard where grain is piled up when receiving goods; it is also a small school yard where you can regularly run formations. However, after being abandoned with the evolution of previous dynasties, the plains are covered with weeds.

But there was a piece of weed inside, which seemed to be slightly different from the surrounding area, and the color seemed lighter; it seemed to sprout later. Thinking of this, he made a mark on a hasty hand-painted distribution map and came to his rough location again.

"But have any discoveries?"

At this time, Guo Feng also seemed to have some awareness and said, "However, the two Jinwu soldiers who were accompanying him inevitably showed disapproving."

"There is a little bit, and it needs to be verified;"

Jiang Ting replied disrespectfully:

Then he roughly calibrated a long strip of range, and asked someone to dig up one by one from one end with the small shovel he brought with him; this was also a little trick he learned when escorting the archaeological team. Under his demonstration, Guo Feng also brought two other men to join them with tools.

"Pull down with a shovel first, and when you feel like you encounter a hard object, you will dig it out."

Seeing this, Jiang Ting also explained:

After a while, he found more than a dozen small pits mixed with pebbles, gravels and grass roots, and insects. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting around him;

"I dug up different objects."

Then, a small black object was knocked off after the soil and rhizomes were stained off; a little rusty metal texture suddenly appeared. Then Guo Feng called out one of the Jinwu soldiers who were on guard outside and pressed the small object on the other party's chest without saying a word.

"Sure enough!"

Then, he let out a cold voice, and his face became extremely solemn:

The next moment, Jiang Ting also understood that although the small object was dug out was severely rusted, it was quite similar to the shape of the corner of the breastplate of the Jinwu soldier. Then, the two Jinwu soldiers couldn't help but join the ranks of excavation; soon after, they turned over the grassy ground.

At the same time, I also gained more, which obviously did not belong here; the broken armor sheets were tied to the silk and polyester of the Luan Dou, as the thick strips of the armor lined, and even a few gray-white finger bones. At this moment, Jiang Ting was finally sure, and said seriously to Guo Feng:

"It seems that this is the first scene where those people were killed."

"What did Jiang Sheng mean?"

Guo Feng hesitated:

"It should be someone who attacked here and killed them, and then moved to another place not far away. He deliberately broke the corpse and thought it was hidden from the sea. He should be trying to cover up something, or in other words, something was discovered accidentally?"

Jiang Ting continued to deduce:

"Okay, I'll send a message back to find someone. Let's continue searching, and digging three feet into the ground to find more clues."

Guo Feng gritted his teeth without hesitation:

Afterwards, after continuing to expand the excavation range, in addition to accidentally discovering armor and broken fabrics, a narrow, translucent grayish-white thing was dug out, similar to bone-like things. However, when Jiang Ting saw this thing, he moved again in his heart and thought of something.

Then, he picked up the sharp part of the bone object and easily drew shallow marks on the back of a standard horizontal knife he was about to come. At this time, the excavation and exploration around was over again. Stepping on the uneven grass stems and soil, Jiang Ting took advantage of the situation to come to a collapsed house.

This should be the abandoned Qianjun Village, where the barn and public trough are located in daily life. Therefore, through the cracks on the wall, you can see the decayed remaining beams and pillars inside, the broken rubble that collapsed on the ground, and the visible wooden boards and bricks on the floor; etc., bricks on the floor? Jiang Zhi immediately called:

"Do you have water? Come over with some water."

"Use mine!"

At this time, the two Jinwu soldiers suffered a stroke, but the older one handed over a skin capsule without hesitation:

Then, Jiang Ting poured the liquid in it hand in hand on the brick surfaces, but found that the color was also wrong. After smelling it, it turned out to be wine. But he didn't say much, but continued to pour the wine in his skin clean. Then, someone handed over another one, but it was the young Jinwu soldier.

When several kilograms of wine in the second skin bag were poured down and only a small part was left; obvious changes finally happened. Compared with the traces of slowly absorbing dryness in other places, in the innermost corner of the wall, several bubbles similar to the cavity effect appeared.

"It's here!"

Jiang Ting shouted without hesitation:

Then, without him doing it himself, someone rushed forward and raised the bricks embedded in the ground; and dug out a shallow layer of soil; and immediately revealed a huge wooden cover that looked very thick and had a rusty pull ring.

As the heavy and stagnant wooden cover was lifted together, a stale smell of dough and mold that had accumulated for a long time came to his face. Then, Guo Feng couldn't wait to throw one away, and the lit paper roll went down, floating for a long time before slowly extinguishing.

Then a accompanying man jumped down with a rope tied with a resolute face, and then another sound of smashing came. But then he quickly pulled the rope and shouted:

"I'm fine, but the ladder is broken."

After a while, Jiang Ting also came to this underground space. Under the white glazed wind lights brought from the carriage, it can be seen that this is a secret place transformed from an underground warehouse; not only has it been specially expanded and reinforced, but it even has a special ventilation vent to introduce a faint flowing air.

But there is nothing left in it except for some overturned wooden frames and frame cages. However, if you look closely at the wind lamp, you will find that the mottled marks deposited on the four walls are not the natural texture of the soil layer; it is similar to something that is splashed on.

Therefore, it is not so much like an underground prison and prison, or a test site with some kind of test site. Then, when someone knocked on the four walls, he found a secret door covered by piles of soil again;

After walking along the secret door through a narrow slant, it appeared in a dry well that was blocked by dead branches and leaves. In this dry well that was small and large, not only was there a layer of skeletons that were suspected to be humans and animals. On the four walls, there were scratches everywhere, and they climbed up.

When Jiang Ting retired from this underground dark room again, he saw Guo Feng approaching with a solemn face and shouted in a low and rapid voice:

"I just found someone peeking outside, but I still asked someone to go around and catch him."
