Menghe Wuen's power in the south was quite small, it only had a thousand people. Although Yangzhou was a big city, it only had ten foreigners.
Out of these ten, the only one that was truly trained by Khubilai was the deacon. The rest were all loyal people that were picked out from the army and taught by the deacon.
The soldiers that surrounded the Liujia manor were just soldiers borrowed from other places.
"Baihu Qian, no one came out, right?" Deacon Ha Tu brought people to the Liujia manor and asked.
"No, it's quite strange. Sir Ha Tu, I sent people to enter the Liujia manor. Not long after they entered, there were screams. Then, I sent a few more men in, but no one came out. They were all scared. "Baihu Qian said.
"Didn't I say to just surround the manor and not go in?" Ha Tu said.
Baihu Qian laughed, "I was just curious. I surrounded the manor for four hours. The Liujia manor has a large courtyard, but no one came out. I shouted outside, but no one came out. So, I sent people in to take a look. Who would have thought … it's really strange! The people I sent are all experts in the army! "
"Sir Deacon, his majesty set up your deacon factory. What are you investigating?"
Ha Tu said, "Don't worry about it. Just break the door open!"
"Yes!"
Baihu Qian waved his hand and a soldier immediately went to break the door. The manor's wooden door was half closed, so it was kicked open.
Ha Tu looked at the door and saw blood stains on the corridor. There was also a scarf.
Seeing the scarf, the scholar cried out and called Ling 'er's name.
The deacon curled his lips, "Is this kid crazy or not?"
Ha Tu said, "He's half crazy. He must have been shocked and traumatized. How's the investigation of the manor going? "
The deacon quickly said, "We found the Liujia's tenant farmers. Some of them passed by the manor and drew a map."
He took out a very simple topographic map, which basically marked out most of the halls, courtyards, doors, and residences of the Liu Family's manor. Some of the tenant farmers had not been there before, so they could not draw it.
Ha Tu looked at the map slowly and asked for details.
There were more than a hundred people in the Liujia manor. Most of them were servants and guests. There were only a few people from the main family.
"More than a hundred people were killed, but the surrounding tenants didn't even notice anything …" Ha Tu pursed his lips. He was basically convinced that this was a ghost killing people, not some bandits.
The deacon was worried, "Sir, are we really going in? None of the people who went in came out. "
"How come no one came out? Didn't this scholar come out alive? What? Scared? "Ha Tu said.
The factory workers were all agitated, "Our lives belong to the Great Khan, what are we afraid of!"
"Good! Hu Dan, stay here. Everyone else, come with me. If we don't return by daybreak, raze this place to the ground! "Ha Tu said.
"Sir!"
They were extremely loyal to Khubilai, and as they spoke, they pulled out their swords and walked forward in large strides.
Originally, there were ten people was left, and Baihu Qian died people was Liu Qian left.
Now that one person was left, including the scholar, there were only seven people left.
As for the local army, Baihu Li had told them that they could be used but not trusted. Ha Tu did not want to bring them in. If he was lucky enough to solve this place and obtain the treasure, Baihu Qian's men would be greedy and he would not be able to answer to his majesty.
Ha Tu led his men and charged into the manor from the main entrance with a fearless look on his face. Only the scholar was crying and struggling with all his might.
But how could he win against them? He was handcuffed and dragged in.
They passed through the front yard and looked around. The more they went in, the more blood there was. When they reached the second door, the ground and walls were covered in dried blood.
"This is a sign of a person's head being chopped off!" The deacon and deacon were all experienced in killing people and could tell at a glance.
Ha Tu looked more carefully and said in shock, "There are no corpses … there are no signs of a corpse being dragged …"
Hearing him say this, the deacon and deacon also reacted. There were only signs of a large amount of blood being spilled, but there were no blood droplets from knives. There were also no blood stains from moving corpses.
Whether it was being dragged or carried away, it was impossible for there to be no traces at all. Did the corpses just disappear into thin air?
"Scholar, what do you mean by a mountain of skulls? Where are they?" Ha Tu asked.
The scholar shivered as he was carried by someone. He looked around and muttered, "Run! Run! Run! "
How could these people be willing to leave? They were people who were willing to die for Khubilai. After a month of searching, they finally found what his majesty was looking for. How could they just let it go?
"Go in! Follow the blood stains! This looks like a group of people running towards the main gate, but along the way, people are dying. "Ha Tu guessed.
Although there were no corpses, he could tell from the blood stains.
The deeper they went into the manor, the more blood stains there were, which meant that more people had died.
And the closer they went to the main gate, the fewer people died.
This was a group of people running towards the main gate. People kept dying, and in the end, only the scholar and 'Ling' Er 'managed to escape to the main gate. In the end, Ling' Er was also killed, and only the scholar managed to escape.
Ha Tu held his scimitar and looked around fiercely. He brought his men and quickly rushed to the main hall.
After passing through the main hall, it was the living quarters of the family and the womenfolk.
And here, they saw the most blood stains. It was as if there had been a large scale encirclement here.
"Puchi!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of a head being chopped off. Blood spurted out from the blind spot of Ha Tu's left eye. Some of it even stained his face.
Ha Tu turned around and saw one of his brothers' heads fly up in front of him.
The head was separated from the body!
The head was in mid-air, and the mouth opened to let out a scream of terror.
But in an instant, the scream stopped. Then, the corpse disappeared. When the head disappeared, it had not even landed on the ground.
"Ahhh!" Everyone was shocked.
Ha Tu's pupils constricted. He saw a white cloth floating beside the dead person.
The white tablecloth seemed to be covering a person's body.
But he could not see the person. There was nothing under the white cloth. There was only air, so it looked like it was floating.
"Is this … a ghost?" Ha Tu was only shocked for a short moment. Then, he quickly retreated and shouted, "Kill him!"
Although he said that, he retreated.
It was not because he was afraid. He might be afraid if he did not see a ghost. But now that he saw it, he was not afraid.
Wasn't it just an invisible person with a large white cloth?
The reason why he retreated was because he did not want to die. His Majesty had taught him to let others test the target.
"Let's see if the knife is useful …"
Ha Tu thought to himself. He saw that his subordinate had already swung the knife down.
However, the sharp knife directly pierced through the white cloth. There was no resistance at all. It was as if the knife had hit air.
"Puchi!"
"Ah!" Before the subordinate could regain his senses, he felt a chill on his neck. Blood spurted out, and his head flew up.
In an instant, two people died. Everyone's scalps went numb. Thinking of the scholar's shout, they turned and ran.
The knife was useless!
Ha Tu was mentally prepared. This ghost was not afraid of knives. But he did not expect it to be so fearless. The knife completely pierced through, and the white cloth was not affected at all.
"Run first!"
Ha Tu threw the torch in his hand over and retreated. The torch also pierced through.
"This …" Ha Tu's heart thumped. His Majesty taught him to test the target and infer information from the target's feedback.
But was there a need to push? The other party could not touch it at all. It ignored all attacks.
Taking a closer look, the white cloth also hung freely. The wind did not disturb it. The white cloth did not seem to have any intention of dancing.
At this moment, it chased after them. It did not seem to be flying, but walking.
It was like an invisible person with a white cloth over his head. He was walking towards them.
"Let me go! Untie me! " The scholar was carried away, but his hands and feet were handcuffed. When he saw the familiar white cloth, he shouted in horror.
Ha Tu looked at him and immediately said, "Throw him over!"
This was the purpose of bringing the scholar. Although the scholar's mind was chaotic, he was the only survivor of the Liu family after all.
Perhaps, he knew more than that.
As expected, the scholar was thrown over. At the same time, he was extremely frightened and shouted, "At birth, man's nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different … Lie …"
He still couldn't tell what was behind the curtain, but to everyone's surprise, he bumped into the white cloth!
Although he did not shake the white cloth at all, he did hit it.
The scholar seemed to have hit a cliff. His head was red and swollen as he fell to the ground.
Then, he trembled and shouted, "Human … Human …"
He was stuck again. He was so anxious that his head was sweating. "Human … Human what …"
"Pfft!" The scholar's head flew up, and a pillar of blood spurted out.
The man who pushed the scholar was stunned. Then, he saw the white cloth coming towards him again.
The man wanted to run, but Ha Tu shouted behind him, "You go! Memorize the Three Character Classic. You can touch it. "
The man was dumbfounded. "I don't know how to!"
As he spoke, he turned around and ran.
However, he had just run two steps when he turned the corner and saw a large, densely packed 'white cloth' coming from the direction he came from. It was as if a human head was moving.
"There are so many …" His scalp suddenly went numb, and his hands and feet trembled in fear. When he turned around again, he found that the white cloth chasing him was already in front of him.
The man had a premonition that in a breath, his head would fall to the ground … No, it would not even fall to the ground. His corpse would not even be left.
"Human … at birth, man's nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different …" The man was anxious. Seeing the white cloth close in, the scholar actually blurted out the sentence that was often on his lips.
Needless to say, he was forced to. In fact, he did not deliberately remember the scholar's words. He felt that they were all sour and rotten.
But now that he knew that it could save his life, he immediately recited it.
At the same time, he slashed Bai Bu's body with his saber.
There was no sound, but it did not pass through!
He could feel that he had cut a solid body! However, there was only a small wrinkle left on the white cloth.
"It's useless!" The man screamed.
At the same time, his head separated from his body, and blood spurted out from his chest!
