The story of the bloody massacre in Song Village begins with tonight's martial law and strict inspections at the south entrance of Baojiao County. This is how it all began.
「Two hours earlier.」
Just as Chen Ku stepped into the Lian Family Medicine Mountain.
At the back of the Lian Family Medicine Mountain.
CREAK.
In the tranquil woods, an official's boot snapped a twig as it stepped over rotting leaves.
A man emerged from behind a large tree; it was a constable from Baojiao County.
Li Yuancheng held a torch, a blade hung at his waist, as he walked through the woods. He was around thirty, in the prime of his life, built with long, ape-like arms and a wasp waist, a tiger's head and sharp eyes. A slight beard around his lips exuded an air of maturity and cunning.
He currently held the torch up front. Following him were seven other constables, similarly dressed in black, with long blades at their waists, bows on their backs, and torches in their hands.
