Chapter 218: King Anping cheers
Thirty miles outside the city of Yangzhou, Pingsonggang.
Surrounded by mountains and surrounded by rivers, it is an excellent feng shui treasure and the tomb of the Yang family is located here.
It is rumored that Yang's death has been related to the real cause of the drought in Huainan Province, although everyone will be suspicious, although the sun is shining and sweltering, there are still a lot of people and officials of Yangzhou Mansion who come to watch.
Just after the hour, good guys, there are nearly 20,000 people in the area of Pingsongoka. Along the way, there are congestion, black and black, and you can see living people everywhere you look up.
Fortunately, Cui Geng had already ordered someone to surround the ten zhang area around the Yang family's tomb with ropes.
Otherwise, everyone will be crowded, and this case will not be investigated.
In this circle of ropes, in addition to the party Song Liming and the Yang family's mother's family, there are all the bigwigs in Yangzhou City.
Don't forget, in addition to the Jiangdu County Ya in Yangzhou City, there are also Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion, Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Huainan Road Pacification Embassy.
One of the most striking officials who came to watch the case was a middle-aged man in a Taoist uniform.
Because he was dressed in Taoist clothes, he was surrounded by a crowd of officials like stars and moons.
It can be seen that the identity is extraordinary.
This person is very tall, his face is thin and his cheekbones are high~, and his face is even a little abnormally pale, only his two eyes are bright.
He is not an outsider, he is the first person in Yangzhou City today, and even in the entire Huainan Province - Wu Youxu.
Don't look at Cui Genghuo coming to Yangzhou in a hurry, but his real backer Zhang Qian is not in a hurry. Zhang Qian was the assassin of Weizhou before, and his transfer to Yangzhou can only be regarded as a level-level transfer, and now he is still hurrying slowly.
Now Wu Youxu is also the history of Yangzhou Thorn, the history of the governor of Yangzhou, the three major functions of Huainan Province to pacify the envoy, and the title of King Anping, in Yangzhou, no, the entire Huainan Province is not much different from the soil emperor, who can not have to stutter?
Cui Geng never expected that he would be able to attract this big man to come today, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him.
Wu Youxu is very easy to speak, there is no arrogance, Wen Yan said: "Cui County Order does not need to be polite, this official is just here today to see the excitement." This case should be investigated as it should be, and the official will not interfere in any way. ”
As he spoke, as soon as he winked, several guards brought a wicker chair.
Just when Cui Geng thought that Wu Youxu was tired of standing and wanted to rest for a while, who knew that Wu Youxu stretched out his hand and said, "Cui County Order, please sit, today you are the protagonist, and you will treat this king as a common person watching the excitement." ”
Even if you don't talk about martial arts, there are twenty or thirty officials above the fifth grade present, no matter how bold Cui Geng is, he doesn't dare to sit by himself and let these people stand? He hurriedly excused himself.
Wu Youxu persuaded two more sentences, and when he saw that Cui Geng resolutely refused to allow it, his face suddenly sank slightly, and he said: "The dream of the unjust ghost is related to all the people of Huainan Province, and it is also related to the will of God. Cui Xianling didn't think about trying the case well, but he pushed back and forth with this king, what is the reason? ”
Meng Shenshuang, who had been standing not far from Wu Youxu, suddenly stepped forward and interjected: "If there is really a dream of an unjust ghost, it is also a good story for the prince to give up his seat." Cui County's order is not accepted, is his heart empty? Could it be that there is no such thing as a ghost dreaming at all, but Cui County Ling is deliberately pretending to be a ghost? ”
Of course, Cui Geng understands that these two have their own thoughts.
Wu Youxu thinks about becoming an immortal all day long, I'm afraid that today he is really dreaming of unjust ghosts, and God punishes this kind of god chatter - at least don't look at him because he is not interested in wealth and power, but he is still quite concerned about this kind of illusory ghost and god thing.
As for Meng Shenshuang's shriveled calf, he completely wanted to roast himself on the fire!
If he really found out something, for him, it would be nothing more than the loss of a pawn Song Liming. But if you really can't find out - without Song Liming's complaint, just the disappointed Wu Youxu may be able to tear himself apart.
However, Meng Shenshuang's run on it was not difficult for Cui Geng.
Cui Geng made a look, Feng Changqing waved his hand when he saw the opportunity, opened the felt cloth on the cart he brought, moved down the tent~ tent, Hu bed, Hu stool and other things, and then propped up the tent ~ tent one by one next to Wu Youxu, and set up all the things.
The tent ~ canopy is larger than what you can see on a daily basis, and it directly covers the tomb.
Everyone originally thought that there were props used in the cart to open a tomb, but they didn't expect it to be these things, and they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
You know, it doesn't take long to dig up the grave and open the coffin for an autopsy, as for the preparation, is it so complete?
Cui Geng invited him to ask for a hand and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, please sit down, this time the coffin is different from usual, and the effort required is probably not short." ”
"Oh?" Wu Youxu's eyes flashed, and he said: "It seems that Cui County's order has been made in his chest, so the king will wait and see!" ”
"Lord Wang, please do it!"
Then, Cui Geng and Wu Youxu sat side by side, and the rest of the officials sat on both sides according to their ranks!
Cui Geng slapped the startled wood and shouted: "Open the grave!" ”
"Yes!"
Suddenly, dozens of people came up, each holding shovels, pickaxes and other things, bulldozing the graves, and digging hard.
It didn't take much effort, and a good coffin was picked up and placed in the middle.
Zhou Xing, who looked like a ghost, stepped forward and arched his hand: "My lord is ready, can this coffin be opened?" ”
Although he was very sure in his heart that he really saw his wife's coffin, Song Liming was still flustered for a while, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Cui County Order, it's too late for you to regret it now." ”
"Regrets?" Cui Geng shook his head and sneered, and said, "Song Liming, are you weak-hearted?" Otherwise, you should understand that King Anping is here, so many adults are here in the Assassin's Mansion, the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the Pacification Envoy's Mansion, and so many people are here, if the official does not dare to open the coffin, he is doomed to be ruined! ”
Then, he waved his hand suddenly and said firmly: "Open the coffin for autopsy!" ”
When the coffin is opened, where is the body?
All you can see inside is the white bones.
Normally, the body is buried in the ground, and it takes three to five years before the bones are all gone. But there is one exception, and that is the Land of Bones.
The humidity, temperature, and even microorganisms in this place are special, and in less than half a year, all muscles and internal organs will completely disappear.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if Song Liming deliberately chose such a place.
There is no doubt that the worst has already happened!
Wu Youxu couldn't help but be slightly disappointed when he took a look, and said: "Cui County Order, since the wronged ghost Yang clan has stated his grievances, how can he know nothing about the situation of his body?" There are all bones left, but how can I check it? You can't Cui County Order say that whoever is the murderer is the murderer. ”
Meng Shenshuang saw a pile of white bones in the coffin, and couldn't help but show smugness, and took the opportunity to give Cui Geng eye medicine in front of King Anping, and said, "Lord Wang, to be honest, I don't know if there is that dream or not." ”
Song Liming fell to his knees and cried bitterly: "Cui County Ling has a bad heart, exposes the bones of the villain's wife to the wilderness, and asks King Anping to be the villain's master!" ”
In fact, Wu Youxu still hopes that Cui Geng will succeed, after all, he is a person who thinks about cultivation and yearns for the way of immortality. If Cui Geng can succeed, it means that there are ghosts in this world, and it also shows that there are really gods in this world, right? Then the road of immortality that he tirelessly pursued exists!
Now that he listened to the words of Meng Shenshuang and Song Liming, he suddenly felt dissatisfied, so he looked at Cui Geng with hope and said, "Cui County Order, do you have something to explain?" ”
"Why should the lower officials explain?" Cui Gengyun smiled lightly and said, "Prince Anping, you have deep roots in wisdom, but in fact, you have inadvertently broken through the heavens. ”
If he was a dashing, extremely intelligent, and wise martial artist, he would not be happy at all, and people would not pursue this at all.
Only Cui Geng, the "deep root of wisdom", smiled at him, and corrected: "I heard that Cui County's talent and intelligence are given by God, and he doesn't learn skills, but he is true when I see it today." Huigen is deep, that is the words of Buddhism, you have to say that this king is 'deep in immortals'. ”
Cui Geng hit the snake with the stick, and said: "It's the official who doesn't choose what to say, the prince has a deep immortal fate, and he broke the sky in one word." ”
"That's pretty much it, haha! Belch...... By the way......" Wu Youxu helped the Taoist temple on his head and said: "Cui County Ling said that the sentence of this royal road is breaking the sky, which sentence does it refer to?" ”
Cui Geng said again, "The prince hasn't realized it yet?" It seems that your every move is really in line with the will of God, and you have reached the realm of thoughtlessness! ”
Then he explained: "Didn't you just say it, Lord Wang? So since the Yang family wants to go down to the official to help her redress her grievances, how can he not know the situation of his body? To tell the truth, she has already explained to the official how to examine the bones. ”
Wu Youxu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and became more and more convinced of Cui Geng - he was about to start a bone examination, which was a matter of rolling his eyes and staring, no matter how bold Cui Geng was, he didn't dare to open his eyes and say nonsense.
It seems that this unjust ghost dream is true, the existence of heaven's will is true, and the immortal road has a basis!
He urged excitedly: "Then please ask Cui Xianling to hurry up and preside over the bone examination and administer justice for the unjust soul." ”
"Obey the orders of the prince!"
Smack-
Cui Geng's shocked wood shot again, and shouted: "Zhou Xingcao, start the bone examination!" ”
"Whoa!"
Zhou Xing had already prepared, cleaned Yang's bones on the spot, threaded them with fine hemp rope, and placed them on a bamboo mat in order.
Then he ordered a cellar five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet deep, and piled up a lot of charcoal in the cellar.
At the sound of the order, the firewood was lit, and after a quarter of an hour or so, the walls of the cellar were roasted red.
Then the charcoal fire was removed, four catties of liquor and ten catties of balsamic vinegar were poured into the cellar, and the bones were lifted into it by the heat rising from the cellar, covered with a straw mat, and then sealed it.
After that, it's a long wait.
After so many complex and mysterious actions, the people talked about it a lot, thinking that this way of bone examination was too magical.
Wu Youxu was even more excited by this mysterious atmosphere, and stroked his palm and praised: "Sure enough, it is a fairy method, this king has not seen and heard it, I don't know if this method has a name?" ”
Cui Geng smiled slightly and spit out four words: "Steamed bone autopsy!" ”
"Steamed bone autopsy, good name, but I wonder how long it will take for this bone to be steamed before the truth can be ascertained?"
"Please be patient, this bone will be steamed for at least an hour. If the time is short, I am afraid that the effect will be greatly reduced. ”
Wu Youxu stroked his ink hair lightly, and said with a little smugness: "Cui County Order doesn't have to worry, there is no sun and moon in cultivation, this king meditated in the past, and he had to spend a whole day at every turn, and an hour is nothing." ”
At the scene, he had the highest rank and the largest title, he was not in a hurry, and others did not dare to be in a hurry, so they could only wait patiently.
After an hour, Zhou Xing opened the thatch and took out the bones.
Then his movements became more and more mysterious, and he actually took out a red oil umbrella that had been prepared a long time ago.
Red, on the one hand, is full of festivities, and on the other hand, it is the color of blood, and it is rumored to have an inexplicable relationship with ghosts1
It's strange to say, the oil umbrella, the original hot and humid weather, suddenly came a fresh breeze, blowing people... Hair stands on end!
"How... Why is there a sudden gust of wind? ”
Wu Youxu said nervously: "Could it be that the Yang clan who died is here and is about to manifest himself?" ”
Cui Geng couldn't say that it was a pure coincidence, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know about the lower officials." ”
The more he said that he didn't know, the more Wu Youxu trusted him, and said repeatedly: "It must be her, it can't be wrong!" Otherwise, why is it not windy early or late, but the wind is blowing at this time? ”
"This ...... Perhaps. ”
Cui Geng did not argue, waiting for the time when the dust settled.
After less than half a cup of tea, Zhou Xing's excited voice suddenly came, and he shouted: "My lord, my lord, there is... Pregnant! Come on, come and see! ”
PS: It's half past 12 noon, and it's been 12 hours since I stayed up all night in the early morning, and I've finally finished the fifth watch! I did it, folks.
