Chapter 177, the riots re-emerge

Not long after Aunt Rong entered, the crying and howling in the hall became weaker.

It is enough to see Aunt Rong's prestige in front of these aunts.

Lieutenant Ge County stood up and led Chen Yuan and his party into the hall again. This time the aunts just secretly wiped away their tears. It was not known whether they were crying or not, and that was not Chen Yuan's concern.

Chen Yuan and Liu Yanchun once again put on aprons, cleaned their hands, and put on gloves. The government officials also moved the coffin to the patio, allowing natural light to shine into the coffin so that everyone could see the autopsy more clearly.

Open the wooden box to reveal the tools used for autopsy.

Tools are much more abundant than before. Chen Yuan applied for silver to specially build a batch of tools. The metallurgy in ancient times was a bit poorer, and it was not as sharp, durable and rust-proof as the ones of later generations. But there is no need to be so picky about the materials for autopsy.

Some curious aunts and children poked their heads to look here and shrank their heads when they saw tweezers, silver needles, sharp axes, scissors, hooks...

There were also timid ones who lowered their heads and did not dare to look this way, but stopped and refused to leave.

Chen Yuan already knew the complexity of the back house. All these people stayed, it seems, they all wanted to be witnesses and insisted on catching the murderer.

As for who the murderer they expected was, Chen Yuan had no idea.

She held the knife and was about to make a move when something strange happened.

Another group of women rushed in.

"Master, master, don't be disrespectful to me!"

"Auntie Rong, why are you so cruel? I treated you very well during my lifetime. I accidentally fell into the water and drowned. You insist on saying that he was killed by someone, and you found a coward to disembowel me. What are your intentions?"

"Sister Rong, you just regret that the master separated you and your husband back then. You hate the master, and you just want his body to be wiped out. You are so vicious..."

"Master, master, look at it, these are the aunts and children you love the most. They are all looking forward to seeing you cut into pieces..."

These women rushed in directly, and the four government officials guarding the coffin could not stop them. Chen Yuan, who was holding a knife, was about to be collided by them. Liu Yanchun, who was assisting at the side, stretched out his hand to stop Chen Yuan's waist and pulled her away.

He went over and blocked the troublemaking aunts with his back.

One by one, they lay on the coffin, as if the man inside was the most beloved man in their lives, crying heartily, and glaring at the government officials who wanted to get closer, as if they were enemies.

"Don't touch me, master, don't touch me."

"The master has left. Letting him leave in a dignified manner is what we, the women he loves, should do, instead of finding someone to disembowel the master for your own little calculations!"

Chen Yuan really didn't expect that such a situation would happen. She leaned against Liu Yanchun's arms in fear and had to be careful not to hurt anyone with the knife in her hand.

"Let me go." She pushed Liu Yanchun, looked at the box that had been kicked over by the aunts, and felt extremely worried.

Liu Yanchun took Chen Yuan away from these crazy women. She was upset when she pushed him, "I'm not afraid that you will be trampled to death by these women. Do you think I want to hold you?"

"No, I didn't say I didn't want to be hugged by you." Chen Yuan pointed forward, "The box, my box."

"Then you didn't tell me earlier." The unhappy expression on Liu Yanchun's face subsided slightly.

He put Chen Yuan in an unoccupied corner of the hall and pulled a chair in front of Chen Yuan. "You have a knife in your hand. Don't come out and run around. I'll help you get the box."

"Yeah, be careful." Chen Yuan clenched the knife in her hand shyly. It took a lot of effort to get these tools out. In such a situation, she was not willing to throw them away.

Grain grub

"Don't worry, I won't drop any of them for you." Liu Yanchun glanced at Chen Yuan who was more interested in the knife, turned around and ran towards the coffin.

The situation at the coffin is not optimistic either.

The hall where the coffins were parked was a mess and turned into a vegetable market.

Ge County Lieutenant's official position was not enough for these troublemaking aunts. The Yamen servants and the old woman called in by Aunt Rong wanted to drag these aunts out who were holding the coffin tightly.

The aunts were yelling and biting, and those who didn't know it thought this was the filming set of some costume zombie movie.

The group of aunts who rushed in from behind were obviously older than those with children.

After Chen Yuan's observation, the first group of aunts who came to watch the eldest son's excitement were basically accompanied by their heirs, while the group of aunts who rushed in and held the coffin without letting go were only accompanied by girls.

An unformed idea flashed through Chen Yuan's mind.

The battle there was chaotic, and the aunt holding the coffin was outnumbered and weak, and she was quickly defeated.

When forced into desperate situations, some people will take risks.

An aunt glanced at the dissecting knife scattered on the ground. She hugged the coffin tightly and picked up a file and put it against her throat. "Don't touch me. If you touch grandpa again, I will die here. I will protect you to the death." The master’s body will not be harmed!”

She set an example, and every aunt went crazy to pick up the knives spilled out of the box.

Fortunately, Liu Yanchun had already rushed to the box.

Although he was a frivolous playboy, he had no sympathy for mature women. When he saw the aunts rushing towards him one after another, he was so frightened that he hugged his face and screamed, and kicked his legs blindly.

One by one, they kicked those aunts to the ground.

One aunt was even kicked so hard that she bumped into the ninth lady who had a file pressed against her neck. The two of them collided and fell into a pile.

The yamen servant who had been waiting for an opportunity to disarm immediately stepped forward and snatched the file from Jiu Niangzi's hand.

The old ladies called by Auntie Rong also stepped forward and lifted up Auntie who had been kicked away by twisting their collars like a hawk catching a chicken.

These aunts used to be poor girls who were sold from poor families, but after years of pampering and fighting for favor in the inner circle, they only focus on their faces and good figures. How can they be the rivals of these old ladies who do menial work?

One by one, they were picked up and whisked away from the lobby.

Soon, the farce next to the coffin was cleared up.

Chen Yuan ran to the box. The knives were not easily trampled, but unfortunately the gloves and brushes were trampled.

"Senior sister, you... the first time you came here, you actually looked at these dead things, without even taking a look at the people who worked hard for you. Your lovely and weak junior brother was almost bullied by those women!" Liu Yanchun squatted on the bed of Chen. Next to Yuan, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Yuan with red eyes holding a brush in disbelief, and complained aggrievedly.

In fact, Chen Yuan didn't think what was wrong with Liu Yanchun. His kicks just now were so powerful and accurate that he didn't even let those women get close.

But it is still too ruthless to think this way. After all, the junior brother faced the attack of the aunts in order to protect her tool box.
