"If you don't want your sister to disappear into ashes right now, you can go and see her!" Cao Liang said loudly.

The reason why Xiahou Hui's body does not rot is entirely because it is preserved in a golden nanmu coffin. Because of the special effects of golden nanmu, it can effectively isolate the air, prevent moisture, corrosion and bacteria, so Xiahou Hui's body can

In perfect condition.

Now that the corpse is exposed to the air, it will not take long to rot. If Xia Houxuan touches it with his hands, his hands will be covered with bacteria. Once the corpse is contaminated, it may only accelerate the decay.

Now if we want to overthrow Master Sima, Xia Houhui's voice and smile are still the most powerful evidence. If Xiahou Hui's body rots beyond recognition, the credibility of the evidence will be greatly reduced.

Xia Houxuan also calmed down. He was so rude because he never dreamed that he would be able to see his sister's face again after six years. Cao Liang's reminder made him realize that his sister was actually no longer alive. He should

What he does is not remembering the past, but how to avenge his sister.

"What should we do now? Are we going to take the coffin back to Luoyang and confront Master Sima?"

Cao Liang shook his head and said: "It's not urgent. There are still a few days before Master Sima's wedding. I'm afraid he would never have thought in his dreams that we had found the body of his ex-wife who was poisoned to death. Now all we have to do is to

This place has been restored to its original appearance. Anyway, it is very remote and few people come here. Then, we will go back to Luoyang and give Master Sima a generous gift on his wedding day."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xia Houxuan's mouth. This gift was enough to "surprise" Master Sima.

"Then what should we do with him? Kill him and silence him." Xia Houxuan pointed at He Wudao.

He Wu immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy. He really didn't want to die.

Cao Liang said calmly: "There is no need to kill him. Although we now have physical evidence, we still have one less witness. This person can be used as a witness to make Master Sima's defense indefensible."

As the tombkeeper, He Wu was the perfect one to prove that the body was indeed dug from the Sima family's ancestral graveyard. In short, the more evidence there is, the less likely Sima Shi is to reverse the case.

Even if someone discovers that He Wu is missing, they will not suspect him. Anyway, it is only a few days before Master Sima's wedding. Wen County will definitely not report the disappearance of a small tomb keeper to Luoyang.

Go, by the time they are looking around, the situation in Luoyang is almost settled.

The golden nanmu coffin is quite heavy. Xia Houxuan came to Wenxian this time and knew that he would be doing hard work, so most of the slaves he brought with him were strong men with big shoulders and round waists. Even so, more than a dozen people still had to eat milk.

It took a lot of strength to lift the golden nanmu coffin to the carriage. Everyone was so tired that they were foaming at the mouth and their eyes were white.

Golden nanmu is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Its value is directly proportional to its texture. The more beautiful and rare the texture, the higher its value. Ordinary golden nanmu only has golden texture, while the top-grade golden nanmu only has golden texture.

Nanmu has special textures, such as the royal dragon and lin pattern, and the gentian pattern.

The pattern displayed on this golden nanmu coffin is called Jinyu Mantang pattern, which is also one of the best and is worth a lot of money.

The tombkeeper, He Wu, felt as if he had seen a ghost. He remembered that when he was buried, it was obviously an ordinary willow coffin, but when it was unearthed, it turned into a rare golden nanmu coffin. It was really strange.

In fact, Cao Liang knew it very well. In order to hide his identity from others, Master Sima still put a lot of thought into burying Xia Houhui and wrapped a layer of willow skin on the outside of the golden nanmu coffin. No matter who saw it,

It was just a willow coffin, just a little thicker than an ordinary coffin.

After being buried for several years, the willow wood on the exterior has long since decayed, so what is dug out now is only the golden nanmu coffin.

Cao Liang secretly sneered. Although Master Sima took away Xia Houhui's body, he still wanted to be buried with Xiahou Hui a hundred years later, so he used a golden nanmu coffin to place Xiahou Hui's body and bury it temporarily.

On the periphery of the ancestral tomb, among a pile of ownerless graves. When Sima Shi passes away in the future, the dust will probably have settled, and Xia Houhui's coffin will be dug out and buried with him, and no one will pursue anything further.

The people of the Sima family are really good at calculations and have been extremely cautious. However, they have done all the calculations and calculations, but they did not expect that Xia Houhui's body did not rot, leaving such a huge clue.

To Cao Liang and Xia Houxuan.

Originally, Cao Liang was just trying to find Xia Houhui's remains to determine whether she died of poisoning.

But even if the remains of Xia Houhui are really found, the evidence will be pale. After all, Cao Liang cannot definitely prove that the bones are those of Xiahou Hui, and the Sima family still has room for quibbles.

And what is found now is Xia Houhui's body, which is as intact as when Xiahou Hui first died. This is irrefutable evidence. No matter how much sophistry Sima Shi makes, he cannot escape his guilt.

But this body was preserved by Master Sima with great pains and efforts.

It's really a black joke with extremely ironic effect.

After placing the golden nanmu coffin on the carriage, the slaves restored the tomb soil to its original state. It looked almost the same as the untouched one, and you couldn't tell the difference without looking carefully.

Cao Liang is actually not too worried about revealing any clues. The Sima family cemetery is relatively remote, and few people usually come there. Even if someone finds that the tomb has been dug and dies, they will only suspect the tomb robbers and will not suspect anything.

Other reasons.

Apart from Master Sima, probably very few people knew about the actual tomb where Xia Houhui was buried. A coffin of a maidservant was missing, and they probably didn't care about its whereabouts.

This time Cao Liang took away the tomb keeper He Wu, which probably made the people in Sima's hometown even more confused. They would not have thought that the extremely poor He Wu would become the target of kidnapping, and they would only suspect that He Wu might be kidnapped.

He escaped on his own.

As a result, the people from Sima's hometown in Wen County will at most look around for He Wu. Even if he can't be found, it won't matter. He is just a lowly servant, and his disappearance will not attract anyone's attention.

, let alone anyone going to notify Sima Yi in Luoyang.

Now the Sima family is probably preparing for Master Sima's wedding ceremony with all the lights and decorations. There is no time left to take care of other things. This time Cao Liang and Xia Houxuan secretly return to Beijing and bring something to the Sima family.

An unexpected "surprise gift".
