Chapter 203 The person you are looking for is dead
Bazi Village, Wang Damei’s home.
The gloomy sky seemed to be in silence for the tragedy. Two unrecognizable bodies lay outside Zhang Damei's house. The scene was too tragic to bear. The torn clothes fluttered in the wind, and the faces were bloody. Only the familiar clothes could confirm their identities.
Zhang Damei's son Wang Qiang was filled with grief as he mechanically added paper money to the fire basin. His eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes but he tried hard to hold them back.
"Dad, Mom, why did you leave like this? I am an unfilial son!" His voice was trembling, full of pain and regret. "I shouldn't have let you go into the mountains to hunt. I knew it was dangerous, but I didn't stop you."
Wang Qiang held the paper money tightly in his hands, as if it was the only connection with his parents. His daughter-in-law sobbed softly beside him and helped Wang Qiang up: "Boss, don't be too sad. If your parents are still alive, they wouldn't want to see you like this."
At this time, a young man hurried over. He was tall and straight like a poplar. He was wearing dark blue coarse cloth, which was not exquisite but neat and decent.
He has a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and deep, bright eyes that reveal his determination and calmness. His black hair is simply tied up with a cloth strip, making him look more capable.
When the villagers saw him coming, they hurriedly said, "Wang Lei, you are finally back. Your grandparents... they have suffered a great disaster!"
Wang Lei's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He quickly walked closer. When he saw the body, his body trembled and his eyes were full of shock. "How could this happen?"
Wang Lei was sad and surprised by the passing of his grandparents, but he did not feel too much pain in his heart. Ever since he was old enough to understand, he felt that his grandparents were very cold to him. As far as he could remember, they had never bought anything for him.
Once he was seriously ill, and his mother asked them to borrow money but was refused. She had no choice but to sell her grandmother's only bracelet. Since then, his mother often blamed herself.
Soon, the villagers gradually gathered around and talked about it. "How tragic! He was unrecognizable when he was found." An old man sighed and shook his head.
"Who says it's not true? Wang Qiang was only sure after seeing the clothes they were wearing." Another villager agreed.
They must have encountered a black bear, which is very ferocious. These two people are so unlucky. " Everyone nodded, expressing sympathy for their unfortunate experience.
Some people speculated about the location and reason why they encountered the black bear, while others discussed the future life of Zhang Damei's family.
Wang Lei listened to the discussion, his mind full of thoughts. He silently burned the paper money three by one in the basin, the firelight reflecting his handsome face, his expression complicated. The paper money in the basin gradually turned into ashes, like a lost life disappearing in the wind.
At this time, there were two strange men in Bazi Village. They asked their way here and saw a group of people gathered together and talking from a distance.
The tall and thin man stepped forward and asked, "What happened?" The villagers nearby looked at him, sighed and said, "Alas, the old couple in this family are in trouble. I don't know what kind of wild animal they encountered. They died tragically."
The tall and thin man looked at his short and fat companion, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
The tall and thin man whispered to the short and fat man, "This is really unexpected. We haven't even started to arrest anyone yet, and they've already..."
The short fat man frowned and responded: "This saves us a lot of trouble, but what if they are not really dead?"
The tall and thin man shook his head slightly: "Looking at this situation, it's almost certain. So many people have confirmed it, and the tragic state of the corpse doesn't seem fake."
The short fat man said, "What should we do now? It will be hard to report back if we don't complete the mission."
The tall and thin man thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let's observe and see. What if it's a trick? Once we are sure they are really dead, we will go back and report."
The two quietly retreated to the edge of the crowd and quietly observed the situation at the door of Zhang Damei's house. Wang Qiang was still immersed in grief and kept adding paper money to the brazier.
The tall and thin man looked at Wang Qiang and said to the short and fat man, "Look, the son is crying so sadly. It doesn't look like he is pretending. It seems that the old couple are really dead."
The short and fat man nodded: "Yes, but we still can't let our guard down. Let's wait and see."
As time went by, the villagers' discussions gradually died down and some people began to leave.
The tall and thin man and the short and fat man waited for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, the tall and thin man said, "Let's go. It seems that they are really dead. Go back and report to the superiors. Although the mission did not go completely according to plan, the people are indeed dead, so it can be regarded as an explanation."
The short and fat man responded, and the two turned and left, their figures gradually disappearing at the end of the path in Bazi Village.
At this time, Wang Qiang's family was unaware of the appearance of the two strange men and was still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones.
In Fengyi Palace, candles flickered, dim light fell on the corners of the palace, and heavy curtains fluttered slightly in the night wind.
Yu Gongchen was panicked and said anxiously, "Mother, even though Wang Dashu was just talking nonsense, this matter is very serious. Could it be that the deceased son of the Imperial Concubine was not the eldest son? Then where is the real eldest son?"
Empress Sun was also panicked at this time, but she knew in her heart that she must not lose her composure at the critical moment.
"Don't panic, Chen'er. Wait for your mother's people to bring Wang Dashu and his wife here to question them, and then you'll know the answer." Empress Sun comforted Yu Gongchen.
At this moment, a slight noise came from the rear window. Yu Gongchen and Empress Sun were startled and looked towards the direction of the sound with caution.
The rear window slowly opened, and a tall and thin man nimbly jumped in. He was dressed in black clothes that fit his body tightly, outlining his slender and agile figure.
The black mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of sharp hawk-like eyes, which were cold and calm.
The man quickly came to Empress Sun, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Empress, Wang Dashu and his wife... are dead."
When Empress Sun heard this, her body trembled slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. Yu Gongchen widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"How did they die? How did they die?" Queen Sun asked anxiously.
The man in black bowed his head and respectfully recounted what he had seen in Bazi Village today: "Your Majesty, I saw two unrecognizable bodies at Wang Dashu's house today. According to the villagers, they were the old couple Wang Dashu.
Their faces were torn to pieces and blood was ripped off, and their appearances were completely unrecognizable. Their identities were confirmed only by their familiar clothes. People speculated that they had encountered black bears in the mountains, which led to their miserable end.
Empress Sun listened to the words of the man in black, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes revealed deep uneasiness. She paced slowly in the palace, and her skirt swayed gently with her movements.
"The black bear in the mountains... is so ferocious, but why do I always feel that there is something strange about this matter?" Empress Sun murmured to herself, the uneasiness in her heart spreading like ripples.
She tried to find the source of what was wrong, but it was like groping in the fog and she could not grasp the key.
She stopped and her eyes fell on the man in black again, "Are you sure it was really an accident? Are there any other possibilities?" Queen Sun's voice trembled slightly, and various doubts kept flashing through her mind.
