Chapter 61                                                             �

Although the Wuchang City of this era is not big, not all the Wuchang City Walls are home.

Not to mention the Jiuhu Lake in Wuchang, just talking about Snake Mountain, crossing the city of Wuchang is the largest leisure place in the entire Wuchang city.

In this mountain, there are both summer resorts for high-ranking officials and nobles, mountain pavilions for climbing high and looking far away, and also gloomy graves without any trace.

And this chasing grave is what the old gardener calls it.

It looks gloomy, but in fact it is not far from the royal palace. There is a small door from the backyard of the royal palace, which can be used for people to enter and exit, which can be said to be the most secret. Under the laws of the Ming Dynasty, even the vassal kings cannot kill people indiscriminately. After all, even if the emperor kills people, it must be passed through the cabinet.

But there are policies above and countermeasures below.

And it was like this morning.

It is nothing more than that the people do not report it, and officials do not investigate it. Some things, even if the people do not report it, the officials will not investigate it. However, the royal palace still has to cover up and send the body out of the city from the royal palace and pass through the city gate. It is somewhat troublesome.

That's why I chose this place as the place where the corpse is hidden.

There is a dark tomb here, and it looks like there are countless tombs. Of course, the corpses here are not only those who died in the Chu Palace, but also some are eunuchs and palace maids at the bottom of the Chu Palace. With a sound, they can only leave an inch of land in these places.

At night, two or three angrily lanterns were swaying in the distance. When I got closer, I realized that it was Zhou Nengchen and Huang Zhubo, and there were two or three people following him. He walked here with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The originally gloomy grave was even more ghostly at this moment. It seemed that there were countless eyes, all in the dark, staring at Zhou Mengchen and his group with the black pupils with the same background color at night.

There seems to be both front, back, left, left, and up and down.

It seemed that every cold air was their eyes, which crawled through the gaps between various clothes, stirring up every hair, and had goose bumps all over their bodies.

Zhou Mengchen was calm. After all, he was an atheist and never believed in things about ghosts and gods. And the coroner and his disciples were used to these things and were relatively calm.

The yellow master's thin feet are a little weak.

Zhou Mengchen could only support Huang Zhubo and said, "Uncle, you shouldn't come."

Huang Zhuliu fights with thin teeth, but still says, "I won't come, can you do this yourself?"

In ancient times, stealing graves and digging was a death sentence. Moreover, digging graves was definitely not an easy task. Zhou Mengchen went there alone, and didn't know when he would do it. Zhou Mengchen could only find a helper.

After thinking about it, he found Huang Zhubo.

Although Huang Zhubo's bones were a little softer, he was Zhou Mengchen's uncle after all, and he helped Zhou Mengchen in many things. And after the county master was defeated, the county master retreated to Huang Zhubo.

Invisibly, Huang Zhubo's power expanded a little.

Zhou Mengchen looked for Huang Zhubo and brought the coroner from Jiangxia County Government.

The so-called coroner is the so-called forensic doctors in later generations.

Of course, there are many differences between the two, and here is just a subtle analogy.

These people are professionals who deal with corpses.

It was appropriate for Zhou Mengchen to come over.

Moreover, Zhou Mengchen used the help of the people in the county government to ask the county government to endorse him. Once someone really discovered this, Zhou Mengchen himself had room for refusal. The power of the county government was enough to shut up most people.

Just because he used Huangzhu Bo, Zhou Mengchen would inevitably give Huangzhu Bo a clear idea.

After Huang Zhubo learned the inside story, he naturally comforted Zhou Mengchen for a while. Zhou Mengchen naturally listened respectfully and did not take a word to his heart. This made Huang Zhubo helpless.

The relationship between the two is so close that they can't really ignore it. Moreover, Huang Zhubo also understands that Zhou Mengchen's potential is far better than before, and it is no longer as simple as his nephew.

I don't know who expects whom in the future.

Even though he was not satisfied with Zhou Mengchen's actions, he still took action personally and arranged this matter properly, for fear of explaining it to others, making mistakes and missing news.

After all, this is investigating the Chu Prince's Mansion.

The Chu Prince's Mansion is a land tiger in the entire Wuchang City. It is very well-informed in all kinds of information. Once they hear about this, they can't stay in Wuchang City.

This is why although Huang Zhubo was extremely scared, he still had to come in the middle of the night.

Zhou Mengchen could only let him say that, but under the shaking light of the wind lamp, Zhou Mengchen said, "It's here."

Huang Zhubo said to the coroner's master and apprentice: "You go and have a look."

"Yes." The old coroner said quickly.

Coroner's status in ancient times was very low, but no matter what, he was a member of the public. He was like Zhou Mengchen, and his father and son passed down from generation to generation. He also had a relationship with the Huang family many years ago.

Of course, even so, Huang Zhubo did not tell them all the inside story.

It's just letting them work.

They were almost climbing on the ground with lanterns and staring at them carefully.

This is to distinguish the color of the earth.

After all, I don’t know how many corpses are buried here. If you dig them one by one, it will be a big project that cannot be completed. There can only be a choice to dig. How to dig depends on the color of the soil.

The new soil just dug is different from the old soil that has been exposed to the sun for a long time.

In such a situation where light is insufficient, Zhou Mengchen may not be able to distinguish them one by one.

The coroners are very experienced.

Soon, seven graves were picked out within a very large range.

These seven tombs were buried within these days.

It seems that it can start, but before that, there is another step. That is to burn paper.

The coroner was very prepared, and he prepared paper money, incense and candles first. He muttered something but didn't know what he was saying. Then he burned all kinds of messy things before he began to dig.

Zhou Mengchen was about to start digging, but he was pulled by Huang Zhubo and said, "You are still ready to start, just wait."

Zhou Mengchen could only wait aside.

These corpses are buried very shallowly.

It is the depth that can almost be dragged out by a wild dog. It is dug out in just a few seconds.

There was no coffin at all, it was just wrapped in a roll of straw mat.

Zhou Mengchen held a lantern and looked at the coroner from a distance. The mattress opened the straw mat. An indescribable face was revealed.

It was buried in the soil for several days without the protection of the coffin. At this moment, this corpse has become a paradise for all kinds of small things. What Zhou Mengchen saw at first was various white spots, slowly squirming.

In and out of a person's facial features.

Zhou Mengchen had already done a lot of psychological construction. But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel nauseous. He took a few steps and squirted out one mouthful, spraying all the rice in the air. Previously, Zhou Mengchen covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, which seemed to be able to cover the stench. But at this moment, Zhou Mengchen thought of it again, as if countless little guys entered his body from his mouth.

It immediately made Zhou Mengchen even more unable to help but vomit again.

At this moment, he seemed to have spit out everything, even his internal organs and all the power in his body.

"Feixiong, if you can't stand it, just let them do it." Huang Zhubo said.

Zhou Mengchen shook his head and said, "No, I want to see people in my life, and to see corpses in my life."

Master Huang sighed and wanted to say to Zhou Mengchen that if Li Yunzhen knew about it, he would not want Zhou Mengchen to see what she is now. He just looked at Zhou Mengchen's current appearance, but just sighed and didn't say anything.

Then he left the excavated grave far away.

Zhou Mengchen approached again, and the coroner had already given a conclusion and said, "This is a male corpse."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Then don't bother them. Buried them."

The first one was quickly identified, no.

Then the new graves below were dug up one by one.

I don’t know if Zhou Mengchen has been used to this smell or has spit out all the things he can vomit. In short, I barely keep holding on.

The second one, female corpse, isn't it.

The third one, female corpse, isn't it.

The fourth one, old man, not.

The fifth one, the male corpse, is an eunuch.

The sixth one is still not.

The seventh one is the only one among all the tombs, but it is also a very thin coffin. The coffin board is only two or three fingers thick.

At this time, everyone looked at Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen looked at the thin, unpainted coffin board, was silent for a while, and said, "Pry open."

Several people worked hard to pry open the coffin. They found a young woman inside, dressed in the clothes of a maid of the Chu Prince's Mansion, and a handkerchief covered her face. It seemed that she was protected by the coffin. Overall, the body was well preserved.

Zhou Mengchen slowly stretched out his hand and pulled the handkerchief away.

A face was revealed.

The corpse has been corrupt for several days, but the skin remains intact. Although there are various color spots, you can still see the original appearance clearly.

Not Miss Li.

Zhou Mengchen was so relieved that he felt that Zhou Mengchen was already sweating heavily in the cold night.

Huang Zhubo did not go to see it, but said from a distance: "Sad to mourn."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Uncle is not."

Anchor Huang said: "How is that possible?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly, as if he had ignored the strange smell on his body. How is that possible? But reality is right in front of him.

There are probably two possibilities when this happens.

Three possibilities are that Li Yunzhen's body is not here, but is hidden by the Chu Prince's Mansion.

But Zhou Mengchen thought about it carefully, this was unlikely.

Because it is not necessary.

This place is already hidden enough. Moreover, with the customary style of the King of Chu, although he did not do bad things openly, he never concealed it. He relied on not only people to find evidence, but even if the evidence was as strong as a mountain, he had no choice but to do anything about him.

There is no need to add anything to it, and now no one is willing to bury the body in his own yard.
