ten mile river moon

The coffin was firmly nailed by seven coffin nails, but I don't know whether it was expected to be opened or what, but there were grooves on the sides of the seven coffin nails that made it easier to pry the coffin nails.

The six yamen servants went into battle together, and the seven coffin nails were quickly pried off. After the partners lifted the coffin lid, Liu Chengyue looked at the things in the coffin in shock.

The surrounding yamen servants and masters all looked blankly at the gray-brown stones in the coffin. These stones were definitely not seen by ordinary people in the border town, a place that does not produce mines.However, in his previous life, Liu Chengyue had seen these uncommon stones in a well-known iron ore town when he went to the countryside with his teacher to do questionnaires in school.

Liu Chengyue, who originally thought that some corpse or other strange things would be found, looked at the iron ore in the coffin in front of her, and was powerless to complain, so she said that the matter would not be simple, and sure enough, this is what happened.

When I was studying history at school, I knew that in order to control resources and prevent criminals from taking advantage of it, the imperial court implemented official salt and iron camps.So, now the situation is very clear, someone is smuggling under the eyes of the emperor!What a sin!

Seeing Liu Chengyue's shocked expression, Master Ding asked after deliberation: "My lord, what's so special about these stones?"

Liu Chengyue waved her hand and didn't say much, what's so special?Not only is it special!If it is not dealt with properly, it will be a big deal of losing your head, okay? !

Without opening the next coffin, Liu Chengyue was afraid that the other coffin would show golden eyes, then other people would recognize it as long as they were not fools, and it would be even more difficult to block the news.

Instructing the yamen servants to nail up the coffin again, Liu Chengyue arranged for someone to transport the coffin to the file room behind the yamen lobby and lock the door.At the same time, another letter was written and sent to the capital as soon as possible.

It took me nearly a month to get to the border town by carriage. Now I don’t know when the letter will be delivered to the emperor of the capital. In addition, the time to come back is estimated to be about [-] days, right?

So what should I do in the past twenty days?To be able to smuggle iron ore under the eyes of the emperor is either a desperado, or a powerful man, no matter what kind of person it is, now that he has blocked someone else's way to get rich, he doesn't know what he will die like.

Moreover, Biancheng still doesn't know if there is any eyeliner from that group of people. If there is, then I must do something to save my life.However, how should I convince others that I really don't know anything, and that opening the coffin was just a coincidence?

well!Thinking of this, Liu Chengyue couldn't help but want to sigh again, why do people travel with all kinds of golden fingers and bodyguards to escort them, and how come they are so pitiful when they arrive?

Poor Liu Chengyue scratched her ears and cheeks all night, and finally fell asleep in a daze when the sky was pale.

Liu Chengyue was woken up, to be precise, by Master Ding.Rubbing her eyes, Liu Chengyue looked at Master Ding who was walking back and forth in front of her bed, and silently beat Master Ding in her heart, before she said slowly, "Master Ding doesn't sleep early in the morning, what are you doing in my room?" ?”

Master Ding was speechless looking at Liu Chengyue who was still a little confused, it's already noon!Is it still morning? !But Mr. Ding would definitely not say these outrageous words, "My lord, there is a large group of people outside the yamen, who say they want to burn the coffin to get rid of the disaster. Why don't you go and have a look?"

Liu Chengyue's bewildered brain finally started to function, yes, why didn't she think of this move?Would it be fine if I also felt that the coffin was a disaster and acted as if I could avoid it?Sure enough, the people are the source of wisdom!

Quickly got up to wash up, Liu Chengyue didn't even eat breakfast, greeted Liu's mother, and ran to the front lobby of the yamen.As soon as he appeared in the lobby, he heard the villagers around the door chattering.

"This coffin is an ominous thing, it can't just be left like this!" Villager A said worriedly.

"That's right, maybe it's because the corpse was not buried in time last time, and now the ghost of that person has brought the coffin." Villager B continued to diverge his thoughts.

"Oh, that's terrible, you must know that ghosts are very fierce things, you can't do it!" Villager C shouted exaggeratedly.

After hearing this, the other villagers around said that they were very reasonable, and they all hoped that Liu Chengyue would burn the coffin to the corpse from last time, and hoped that he would know not to come to the border town again.

Liu Chengyue was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. How did they make the whole thing into a horror story?The power of the people should not be underestimated!

Thinking about it, Liu Chengyue observed the large group of people secretly, and found that there were indeed two people scattered in the crowd, and they didn't talk much, just disturbing the muddy water and stirring up everyone's emotions from time to time.Are these two people the eyeliner of that group?I don't know how long the two of them have been observing him secretly?Is there anyone else?

Liu Chengyue grabbed Master Ding and asked in a low voice in his ear: "Whose family do the young man in green at the end of this group and the silent young man on the left belong to? There are other people in the village with them. Are you okay?"

The master pretended to look anxiously at the group of people outside the door, turned his eyes around, and replied: "The two of them are brothers, the one in Tsing Yi is called Wang Hu, and the one who doesn't speak is Wang Long. He came to the border town the year before last. It is said that The family fled the famine, and there were only two brothers left, and the two of them didn't talk to the villagers very much, and they were doing timber business."

Liu Chengyue understands, do timber business?Doesn't that just correspond to the coffin?A lot of logs are needed to make a coffin, and this is where the wood comes.

After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Chengyue stepped up and walked towards the crowd, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me, we opened one of the two coffins yesterday, and there are only some broken stones inside, and I don't know what it is for. Since everyone thinks that the coffin has something to do with the corpse, we don’t care whether we burn it or bury it, let the dead rest in peace quickly, and the yamen will bury the coffin on the mountain by the river later.”

Although the result was different from everyone's expectation of the fire, everyone had no objection. After all, burying on the ground is much faster than burning, and it can also make the souls of the dead rest in the ground.

The yamen servants were also very diligent in their work, and they quickly brought the guys to bury the two coffins, and they probably hoped that this matter would pass quickly.When the coffin was buried, the villagers came again, and they brought homemade steamed buns and melons and fruits from the field, which was enough to show their sincerity!

After burying the coffin, Liu Chengyue pretended to burn three sticks of incense on behalf of the people in the border town, and then led the villagers back to the village.

At night, Liu Chengyue, who was supposed to be resting, stood in the backyard, looking up at the sky. People who didn't know thought Liu Chengyue was admiring the moon!Liu Chengyue raised her neck and waited for nearly an hour, but there was still nothing in the sky, she shook her head and walked to the bedroom.

Before entering the bedroom, Liu Chengyue looked up at the sky again, and this time finally saw a white object getting farther and farther away in the night.Looking at the direction again, it was indeed where the two brothers were.

This matter is temporarily over here. If they believe it, then they can live in peace for the next ten days. If they don't believe it, it will be more difficult.Silently wiping away the bitter tears, Liu Chengyue yawned and went to sleep.

The next day, Liu Chengyue woke up in her bed as usual, thinking about what she saw yesterday, Liu Chengyue felt that it was necessary to go to the place where the coffin was buried today.

After breakfast, Liu Chengyue strolled elsewhere for a while, and then pretended to pass by casually, looking at the place where the coffin was buried yesterday.Although it looks the same from a distance, it is still a big bag of dirt, but there are many footprints today where there were no footprints yesterday. It seems that the things in the coffin are gone, either at Wang Long Wang Hu's house, or... Liu Chengyue looks at it I looked at the Luoshui River not far away.

Day by day, there was still nothing going on in the yamen, Liu Chengyue was counting day by day, hoping that the letter from the capital would come soon.

When Liu Chengyue counted to fifteen, the letter from the capital finally arrived, and at the same time as the letter, there was another person, no, three people to be precise, but there were two Liu Chengyue who could not see, in the dark, Liu Chengyue didn't know this until later when she was about to leave.

Liu Chengyue didn't think much at first, took the letter and went to the study to open it, and only came out after reading it.Looking at the face of the messenger who was too young, Liu Chengyue still couldn't believe it, this person is actually the deputy captain of the Imperial Guard, he looks young, and his martial arts are so good?

Perhaps because he noticed Liu Chengyue's distrustful eyes, the visitor took out a golden waist card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Chengyue, "This is what the emperor ordered me to give to my lord, the emperor said, I will listen to my lord when I come, You can say anything your lord wants."

Liu Chengyue took the waist card, feeling a little complicated, does the emperor believe in herself too much?I myself have doubts about my ability, how can the emperor have confidence that I can solve this case?

But things have come to this point, and Liu Chengyue also knows that she has no other way to go. On the surface, the deputy captain obeys her orders. On the one hand, she is probably here to handle affairs, and on the other hand, she is probably to supervise or monitor herself.It sounds exhausting!

Ye Ling looked at Liu Chengyue with a complicated expression on his face, and felt a little helpless in his heart. He had done well as the vice-captain in the palace. If he hadn't won the lottery with Ye Xina, he would still be himself in the palace now. The vice-captain of the guards, instead of coming to this place where no shit, to solve the case with a person who looks a little abnormal.

Thinking of the look on Ye Xi's face after drawing lots, Yeling reaffirmed his lofty ambition to go back and kill him severely, although in the end it was very likely that he would be fooled into pocketing his own money.

Liu Chengyue looked at Yeling who was gnashing her teeth, and felt that her life seemed to be even more insecure.

In fact, the emperor's intention was very simple, to let Liu Chengyue and Ye Ling cooperate to find out this group of "smugglers".However, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it.Simply, there is still a clue on hand, so I won't be blind all the time.

After talking about Wang Long Wang Hu, Ye Ling and Liu Chengyue discussed again, and decided to take action tonight and control these two first.
