Call the dead.

Even though it was indoors, it seemed that there was a gust of cool wind pouring into the soles of the feet.

Suzaku Envoy, whose scalp was suddenly numb, raised his arms, all the exquisite crossbows and firearms in the hands of the Hades were aimed at the coffin, and their nerves were tense.

Fifteen years ago, the well-known Pingyang King Ji Zhonghai committed suicide, which shocked the government and the public.

Only three days had passed since Prince Yuan's Mansion was slaughtered.

Once upon a time, Ji Zhonghai was a famous general second only to General Zhenbei and Hong Xiangshan, and he played a decisive role in the stability of the southern border.

At that time, the defense line with Qilin Mountain as the north was broken by the enemy. Under the precarious situation, it was he who led nearly 14 elite soldiers to repel [-] enemy troops and became famous in the first battle!

After Ji Zhonghai's death, all the soldiers at the border gates in the southern region wailed and wailed, wearing hemp and filial piety.

After his death, the first emperor finally let go of his last heartache, spared the Pingyang Palace family, and built a high-standard mausoleum.

But the dead are dead after all.

How can it be resurrected?

The Suzaku envoy suppressed his uneasiness and said to Chen Mu, "Chen Mu, don't be joking, Ji Zhonghai is already dead, and the autopsy was done back then."

"No, he's not dead."

Chen Mu and Hong Dalang said in unison.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Mu smiled and said, "I don't know if you have heard of a kind of Gu, it's called 'Living Dead Gu'!"

Undead Gu?

Suzaku narrowed her beautiful eyes, and glanced at Ji Kou and the fat prince: "The Gu from the Gu clan in the Southern Region?"

There is a Gu clan in the southern region, people in the clan are born to raise Gu, which once caused a lot of chaos in the southern region, and finally Hong Xiangshan and Ji Zhonghai went to quell it.

Hong Dalang looked at Ji Kou with contemptuous eyes, and said lightly:

"When Ji Zhonghai quelled the chaos in the southern region, he drove the Gu clan to the border of the Kuroshio Sea to fend for itself. During this period, he got a kind of Gu, a Gu that can make people... really die, but can be resurrected."

Suzaku stared at him: "How did you know?"

"He is a servant of the Hong family, his name is Hong Dalang."

Chen Mu took out the pamphlet he had compiled and said. "Back then, I violated the family law because I molested the maid, and was kicked out of the Hong Mansion."

Ji Kou's eyes shot out, and he looked at Hong Dalang: "I have investigated you, and you are indeed a servant of the Hong family, but you are just an ordinary person, and there is nothing wrong with you."

"He is not ordinary."

Chen Mu shook his head and sighed. "How can a hunchback who has endured for 16 years, pretended to be for 16 years, and sold buns for 16 years, be an ordinary person? Right, the young master of the Hong family——Hong Zhifan!"

flood!Know!Where!

The air in the room seemed to freeze instantly, falling into a dead silence.

These three words were enough to make the hearts of those present tremble, and they all looked at the hunchbacked man in shock.

Even Lin Mengyuan's face was full of surprise: "So you've been lying to me."

Suzaku made a look of astonishment.

She has experienced too many bizarre things in her life, but today is undoubtedly the most outrageous. People who died began to live one by one, so who really died in the end.

"17 years ago, the entire Hong family was slaughtered, and the Hong family was completely burned down."

Chen Mu said quietly. "At that time, the investigation by Hades ended up being nothing, and even the corpses were not carefully sorted in the end. Everyone thought that the young master of the Hong family was dead, but who would have thought... since he miraculously survived?"

But thinking about it, it's not a miracle that he survived with a snake demon wife by his side.

Hong Zhifan smiled wryly: "It's amazing, Catcher Chen, it's a pity that you were born more than ten years later, maybe we can still be friends. But I want to know how you found out that I was pretending."

Chen Mu smiled slightly: "When I learned that you used to be a servant of the Hong Mansion, I started to pay attention to you, but you pretended so well that no one could find a single fault. Even when I molested your wife in front of you, You are so natural."

Molesting other people's wives?

Looking at the triumphant Chen Mu, the pretty face hidden behind the Suzaku mask became particularly ugly.

Tonight I have to kneel on the washboard and chop durians with my bare hands!

"Until something happens."

Chen Mu took a deep breath, feeling his throat was a little dry, and paused for a few seconds before continuing. "That's the matter of Meng Yanqing being captured.

At that time, Meng Yanqing was captured by the people of Pingyang Palace, and I happened to go to handle the case.

But as soon as I entered the palace hall, someone threw a ball of paper at me and asked me to save her.Afterwards, I thought about it carefully and found it very strange.

Why did someone want to save Meng Yanqing?

Why did someone send me a message just after I arrived at the palace?

Later, when I thought about it carefully, I realized that you were the one who entered Pingyang Palace together.Of course, maybe you just happened to do it?

So I investigated more carefully and finally found a little problem. "

"What's the question?" Hong Zhifan expressed curiosity.

"The reason why you pretended so well is because you really integrated yourself into the role of a steamed bun seller. There is little difference in what time you chop stuffing, steam buns, and set up a stall every day. But that day you violated established the law."

Chen Mu said. "Besides, you used to deliver buns to the second wife of the Wangfu every three days. The delivery time was always in the afternoon without exception, but that day was in the morning."

Hong Zhifan smiled and shook his head: "Just relying on these to determine my identity? It's too childish."

Chen Mu curled his lips: "Of course not, these are just icing on the cake, and the real confirmation of your identity is today, I asked my subordinates to go to Hong Dalang's hometown to investigate.

According to the transcript, after Hong Dalang's mother died, he left home and came to the capital to make steamed buns.

So I arranged for my subordinates to dig up his mother's grave while investigating... Of course, this was too much. "

Speaking of this, Chen Mu not only complained, but also why he has been digging graves recently.

When you go back, you must burn incense and worship Guanyin.

However, upon hearing Chen Muzhi's words, Hong Zhifan's face changed, and his sharp eyes narrowed.

Chen Mu continued: "Although I dug his mother's grave too much, my subordinates made an astonishing discovery...

Because there were actually two corpses in the coffin.
