In the next few days, Li Daozong brought a group of soldiers with good water quality to the river to look for corpses every day. However, more than 20 years have passed, and even if the corpses are still at the bottom of the river, they may have been covered with a thick layer of mud. Now there is no technical means from later generations, and the efficiency of searching with manpower alone is very low, so there was no gain in the first few days.

Ma Ye and Qin Qiong were still busy digging the corpses. Now there were more than 10,000 corpses just excavated, and the simple warehouses on the dock were almost unable to pile up. Fortunately, the fleet finally arrived at this time, and these corpses began to be transported onto the ship. However, the owners were all sad. After all, most of their ships were used to transport goods, but now they were used to transport corpses. Although these corpses had no taste, they were a bit unlucky after all.

Li Xiu also knew that these ship owners were unwilling, which was normal. After all, these merchants would not have such a high political awareness. However, whoever made them the people of the Tang Dynasty must fulfill some responsibilities and obligations at this time. What's more, the court did not use their ships in vain, and there would be certain compensation in the future, such as tax reductions, etc., so they were not considered a loss.

With the arrival of the fleet, this temporary small wharf became lively, especially the new city had many merchants living there. When they heard that the fleet came here, they immediately came to do business like a shark smelling blood. Although Liaodong is sparsely populated, there are many specialties, and the most famous ones are fur and ginseng.

The owners of those ships are also humans. When they came, there were no empty ships. There were also a lot of goods on the ships. They wanted to exchange for some specialties and go back to sell them, so the two sides hit it off. In just a few days, a lively market was formed next to the dock, where all kinds of local specialties were traded.

Li Xiu also turned a blind eye to the above situation. After all, it is not easy for these merchants and ship owners. As long as they do not delay transporting the corpses, he would pretend that he had not seen them even if he carried some cargo on the ship.

It is worth mentioning that Ping Anlang also set up a medical stall on the dock and began to treat the merchants who came and went to treat them. Originally, he would take the lead whenever he met a patient on the way. This was also the main purpose of his trip. Sometimes, if he stayed in a place for a longer time, he would simply set up a stall on the street to practice medicine for free, increasing his experience in practicing medicine.

In fact, when he first arrived in Xincheng, Ping Anlang also started practicing medicine for free in the city, and his medical skills were deeply influenced by Sun Simiao. Although many patients did not trust him because of their youth at the beginning, as time went by, more and more patients were cured, and as a result, he was also called the "little miracle doctor" by many people.

Now many people in the city have run to the dock, and most people who run the boat will suffer from some back pain, leg pain or stomach problems, and sometimes they may accidentally get injured and bleeding, so Heianro moved his medical stall to the dock.

Because he had the title of a young genius doctor before, Ping Anlang's medical practice stall quickly attracted a lot of people, making him too busy at all. In the end, Li Zhi and Di Renjie, who were idle, also came to help. Although they did not understand medical skills, they could still do it. Of course, they also concealed their identities, so those who were treating the disease would never dream of a prince of the Tang Dynasty helping people in this simple small dock.

Of course, in order to ensure the safety of Li Zhi and the other three, Li Xiu also sent a lot of people to protect them, but these people changed into casual clothes and mixed in the crowd around them. At first, a few gangsters saw that Li Zhi and the other three seemed to be bullied, but they were quickly beaten by the guards to find their teeth. Finally, they were thrown directly into the Liaoshui River and almost drowned them. After this incident, everyone knew that Li Zhi and the other two were not easy to mess with, and no one dared to cause trouble again.

Li Xiu was also very busy during this period. After all, the excavated corpses must be loaded on the ship. Although the fleet has officials leading the team, they must be dispatched by Li Xiu personally. Sometimes Li Xiu needs to supervise the corpses on board the ship, and all the corpses must be numbered. The corpses shipped on each ship are recorded, so as to prevent the corpses from being lost during transportation, etc. These things seem to be small, but they are piled up one by one, which is enough to make people busy without touching the ground.

"Mr. Concubine! Found it!" In the evening of that day, Li Xiu had just finished the matter and was about to take Ping Anlang and the other two back to the new city to rest, but he didn't expect that Li Daozong rushed in and shouted loudly.

"Finished? What have you found?" Li Xiu didn't react at first, and after a moment, he said with surprise, "Did you have found the corpse of King Dongping?"

"How is that easy?" Li Daozong smiled bitterly when he heard Li Xiu's words, but then he turned to joy. "Although my father's bones were not found, the people who went into the water found some bones at the bottom of the river, as well as broken armor and weapons fragments. But these things were rusted too much and could not tell what they were originally like. I don't know if the Sui army or the Goguryeo people died?"

When he said this, Li Daozong paused for a moment and then said, "But although the identities of those corpses cannot be determined, it is always a good thing. I plan to ask General Qin and General Ma to go there tomorrow to let them see what was salvaged. If I can confirm that there was the location where my father fell into the water, I will ask someone to salvage all the corpses. Even if my father's corpses cannot be found, I can transport all the corpses back for burial. Anyway, one of them is my father."

Li Xiu felt a little amused when he heard what Li Daozong said later, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that Li Daozong's approach was very reasonable, so he agreed: "This is also a solution. In addition, I also asked about it during this period and learned that the river flow was very small in the first two months of spring. If it really doesn't work, you can wait until next year. Then block the river water upstream, so it will be more convenient to find it."

"This is also a solution. Actually, I have this plan. If it really doesn't work, I will ask Your Majesty to transfer to Liaodong. Even if it takes a few years, I will have to go through the river!" Li Daozong nodded immediately. He now understood that he couldn't hurry to find the corpse, so he was also ready to stay here for a long time.

The next morning, Li Daozong invited Ma Ye and Qin Qiong to come over. Li Xiu originally wanted to go with him, but he didn't expect a message came from Chang'an. When Li Xiu heard the news, he couldn't help but lock himself in the room and pondered, and he didn't go out all day.
