The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Except for the part of the skeleton that had been carefully dug out of the soil by the yamen runners.

It seems that there are more undiscovered secrets hidden in the pit - there are still some skeletons buried deep underground.

Quietly waiting for the moment to see the light of day again.

They seem to be telling a story that happened in the past, but this story has been covered in dust for too long and no one listens.

These skeletons are covered with mud, like ancient objects that have been sleeping for thousands of years.

Someone urgently needs to wash them with warm hands and give them the dignity they deserve.

And they are properly buried to comfort their bodies and souls that have been trapped for so long.

The scene before him was so heartbreaking that Wang Chengzi could not bear to watch it any longer.

He silently looked away.

Then he walked towards the coroner who was concentrating on his work.

The coroner was gently wiping the dirt off the bones, as carefully and meticulously as if he were treating a precious treasure.

Every movement was so gentle, for fear of awakening the sleeping soul.

After the cleaning was completed, the coroner carefully compared the bones.

Make sure they are correct and then carefully put them back in place.

Try hard to piece these bones back to their original appearance.

I want to give those innocent children an intact body.

The whole process was rigorous and orderly. The coroner was fully focused and was not distracted by Wang Chengzi's arrival.

He still stared intently at the skeleton in his hand, as if trying to find out the secret hidden in the pale bones.

He didn't even raise his head, but just nodded slightly to Wang Chengzi to indicate that he had greeted him.

Wang Chengzi didn't care about the coroner's neglectful attitude towards him.

He lifted up the corner of his clothes, then squatted down and moved closer.

He stared at the coroner's every move and asked:

"How is it going? These kids..."

The words stopped abruptly at the tip of his tongue, because the following words were too cruel.

Wang Chengzi couldn't bear to continue.

The coroner naturally understood what Wang Chengzi wanted to ask.

He silently put the leg bone that was originally in his hand back to its original place.

Then, he reached out and picked up a skull placed nearby and held it close to Wang Chengzi.

The coroner used his hands to gesture and explain to Wang Chengzi the information contained in the skull.

Facing the skull at such a close distance, Wang Chengzi blinked slightly.

Then he focused his attention on what the coroner said, and his eyes followed the movement of the coroner's fingers.

The coroner pointed at a severe crack on the skull and said to Wang Chengzi:

"Look, this is the crack left by a heavy blow to the head.

Most of these little girls have fractures in their bones.

Alas, I don’t know how much suffering I endured in my lifetime.”

Wang Chengzi looked at the place the coroner pointed at, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

After understanding the situation more or less, Wang Chengzi hurried back to the yamen.

Find the county magistrate and ask him to check whether there have been any citizens who have reported that their children are missing in the past few years.

See if we can help those children who died tragically find their relatives.

But now the bodies have decayed into bones, making it difficult to identify.

Wang Chengzi could only do his best.

But Wang Chengzi felt that he could comfort those little girls who died tragically.

In addition to finding their families, there is something more important.

That is to let the main culprits - Ma Deyi and Shi Yanhong receive the punishment they deserve.

This is the only way to comfort the souls of these little girls in heaven.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengzi waved his hand and asked his men to bring Shi Yanhong and Ma Deyi to the lobby.

Ma Deyi was now alert, but still held on to hope.

He gritted his teeth and refused to admit his guilt.

However, when Wang Chengzi said:

"Ma Deyi, every time you walk through the back garden, don't you feel any fear in your heart?

Have you never felt the slightest regret?

Those innocent little girls are always watching you!"

As he spoke, Wang Chengzi's tone became increasingly severe and his expression became more solemn.

When Ma Deyi heard this, his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

He knew that he could no longer argue.

Because Wang Chengzi must have discovered where he hid the body.

Otherwise, why would he mention his back garden for no apparent reason!

At this moment, Ma Deyi was filled with regret.

If time could go back, he would rather not have witnessed the tragic scenes of those girls struggling in agony before their death;

If he could choose again, he would abandon them in a deserted mass grave without hesitation.

In this way, Wang Chengzi would have no way to investigate, and there would be no solid evidence to accuse him.

But it's too late to say anything now, the body has already been found by Wang Chengzi.

However, Ma Deyi still defended himself without giving up.

Kneeling in the hall with an innocent look on his face, he said to Wang Chengzi:

"My Lord, I am truly innocent. I had no idea there was a dead body in my back garden.

Someone must have framed me, please investigate!"

Wang Chengzi had long known that Ma Deyi would not plead guilty easily.

But Wang Chengzi still has witnesses.

"Ma Deyi, Ma Deyi, are you very proud of your explanation?"

"Come here, call the witness."

Wang Chengzi shouted to the yamen runners below.

Soon, two young men were brought up.

The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look around.

He stopped only when he reached Ma Deyi.

He secretly glanced at Ma Deyi, who looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

Then he bowed respectfully to Wang Chengzi and said:

"I pay my respects to you, sir."

Ma Deyi looked at the two people walking up to him and his eyes suddenly widened.

I wanted to stand up and scold the two people.

However, he was held down by Peng Feixin and a yamen runner and could not move.

One held a handkerchief tightly over his mouth.

Ma Deyi was suddenly unable to move or speak.

He could only watch the person approaching him, his eyes becoming more and more desperate.

"Tell me everything you know."

Wang Chengzi looked at the two of them.

One of the thin men heard what Wang Chengzi said.

He began to tell what he knew.

"Yes, sir.

We, Caomin, are servants of the Ma family.

Moreover, even more so... a child born in a family can only be a servant of the Ma family for generations...

Therefore Ma Deyi is very confident in us two brothers.

Well, those...

The bodies buried in the back garden were mostly buried by the two of us.”

After he finished speaking, he paused and clenched his fists.

The man seemed to be struggling with something, and after a moment he gritted his teeth.

He said something that shocked everyone.

It made everyone present feel terrified.

He looked at Ma Deyi who was kneeling on the ground with even more resentment.

man said:

“They were all buried alive…”
