This burst of cold air lingered in his body, so cold that Bai Chen stopped in front of the threshold of Yizhuang, and shivered involuntarily.

In fact, his current body has been exercised a lot, and his physique is gradually improving. Even in the days of Huaxue, he has never been as cold as he is now. I don't know what happened today.

This is a chill that cannot be avoided from body to mind.

Not only Bai Chen, but the young colleagues who came to help with him reacted even more.

He was walking behind Bai Chen, his teeth were chattering from the cold, and his face was a little pale.

Qin Yucheng had already stepped into the small courtyard, but when he saw the two young men, he didn't follow in, so he turned back and waited for them.

At a glance, I saw two people standing blankly at the door, looking a little sluggish from the cold.

"What's the matter with you?" Qin Yucheng opened his mouth, his voice was like a torrent of bells, his whole body was full of evil spirit and righteousness, which seemed to dispel some of the surrounding chill.

Bai Chen came back to his senses, and answered honestly: "It's a little cold here, and I can't walk for some reason."

"Me too." The other young man said with some fear, "I feel like I'm soaking in the icy cold river. Mr. Qin, the grandmother at home once said that people who die unjustly have resentment. This resentment is worse than nine cold winters." The wind and snow are still cold, and all the sergeants parked in the Yizhuang are innocent sergeants who died tragically. Could it be the resentment that is frozen to the bone?"

"It's winter now, the climate is cold, and there are a lot of ice blocks temporarily placed in this courtyard, so it's even colder." Qin Yucheng said, "People die like lights go out. These soldiers died for the country. They have no grievances. You And don't think about it."

Bai Chen said: "Your official understands."

Another young man hastily agreed to know.

After Qin Yucheng's explanation, the strange and frightening feeling of coldness also decreased a lot. Bai Chen wondered if it was a psychological effect before?

In other words, this body is still too weak and needs further training?

"Come in with me." Qin Yucheng said.

"Yes."

Without time to think wildly, Bai Chen hurriedly followed him into the small courtyard.

Entering the small courtyard is a screen wall with pine, cypress and cranes painted on it, which is solemn and peaceful, implying that the dead lying here can find peace and reach bliss early.

As soon as he walked around the screen wall, he felt a chill blowing in his face again. Many coffins were parked in the spacious yard, and huge ice blocks were placed around the yard, each of which was the size of a wooden box for clothes.

There were quite a few jailers in red costumes and guards in gray and black coarse cloth clothes busy, each of them looked serious and doing their own things in an orderly manner.

When he didn't come in before, Bai Chen's heart was still a little bit drummed, but once he walked in, he quickly calmed down and entered the working mode.

——Only working hard is the best consolation for the dead.

"Lord Qin!" A man who looked like a small head came trotting over, a little anxious, "You're here."

Qin Yucheng said: "How many have been inspected?"

"More than a dozen have been inspected." Xiaotoutou said, "It's just that the five rooms are full, and the centurion of the escort team will be inspected soon. What should I do?"

It turned out that there were only a hundred sergeants escorting Wang Cheng, and the leader of these hundreds of people was a centurion, who had no rank, and it was very likely that they were temporarily transferred from other places to command the escort.

——No wonder they were sent here for an autopsy instead of being inspected by the elites of Dali Temple together with Deputy General Wang Cheng.

Qin Yucheng thought for a moment, "Make a place in the courtyard and call for the assistant. It happens that the two adults I have asked to help are here, and they will examine the corpse here."

"..." The little boss was a little dazed, but seeing the unquestionable expression of the boss, he immediately said: "This subordinate will do it now!"

Qin Yucheng looked at the young man, "Master Wu writes quickly and has a good memory. When I do the autopsy, I will trouble Master Wu to record it."

The young man cupped his hands and saluted, "Master Qin is too polite."

Bai Chen was a little surprised, why Master Qin was so polite to this young man, he soon knew the answer.

This young man is Wu Qifang, and he is Luo Lanye's clerk, equivalent to his personal secretary.

Although the official is small, it has been tacitly since ancient times that the personal secretary of the big boss is one of the positions that are most likely to be favored by the boss and promoted the fastest. Maybe he is just a secretary today, and he will be promoted to your superior in a short time.

Therefore, even if Mr. Qin has a higher position than him, he should still be polite to him.

"Bai Lushi, when Wu is doing the autopsy, you can just stand aside and see if he has cheated." Qin Yucheng said, "I will go to the prison to mention a felon in person later, and there will be two Laos here. "

"Your Majesty Qin is polite, I will do my best as an official." Bai Chen cupped his hands.

While speaking, a space had been vacated in the courtyard. The jailers and the handymen had built a simple autopsy table together, and the dead bodies covered with white cloth had already been placed on it.

"My lord, everything is ready." The little head came over to report.

Qin Yucheng brought Bai Chen and Wu Qifang to the autopsy office, and he left after a few simple instructions.

"Master Bai, Master Wu, can we start?" Wu Zuo, a tall and tall man with a black beard, asked after he took out his tools.

Bai Chen looked at Wu Qifang, who took the pen and paper and nodded slightly.

"Let's start." Bai Chen said.

Wu Zuo stopped talking and lifted the white cloth with his little apprentice.

The corpse had already taken off its clothes, and the blood stains on the body surface had been cleaned. It was just lying naked in the cold courtyard, with his eyes closed tightly and his face full of calm.

Wu Zuo began the autopsy, and Wu Qifang had to write down the details and conclusions of the autopsy and sign them verbatim.

Then Bai Chen verified the authenticity of the transcript and signed it.

The autopsy went smoothly. The centurion was also fatally stabbed in the neck. There were no other wounds on his body, and he was no different from other soldiers.

But Bai Chen always felt a strong sense of disobedience. He always felt that something was wrong with this body with slightly dark skin and a well-proportioned figure.

Just when Wu Zuo was about to announce the end of the autopsy, Bai Chen's eyes lit up and he noticed something strange.

"and many more."

Wu Zuo was taken aback, "Master Bai, what else do you want?"

"Can I see the corpse?" Bai Chen asked.

"Of course." Wu Zuo agreed, feeling strange in his heart, generally the officials who accompanied the autopsy, no matter the pawns, were far away and wished for a quick end, but this one was fortunate enough to step forward to inspect the corpse.

Bai Chen stepped forward and observed the corpse carefully.

Then he stretched out his fingers and touched the neck of the corpse.

Wu Qifang's expression changed when he watched from behind, not knowing what Master Bo was going to do.

At this moment, a person came over.Wu Qifang smiled, was about to salute, nodded again, and closed his mouth.

……

Bai Chen's hands groped around the neck of the corpse for a while, and then he selected one and rubbed it gently with his hands.

A skin-like thing was rubbed out by him.

Wu Zuo, who was watching carefully, was taken aback and couldn't help exclaiming, "This, what is this!"

Bai Chen took a few steps back, "Tear off this layer, please."

Wu Zuo was a little dumbfounded, and was about to say something when he turned around and said, "Lord Luo!"

His sound startled Bai Chen, who was thinking, and turned around quickly, but Luo Lanye was standing behind him.

"Master Luo, when did you come?" Bai Chen hurriedly saluted, "Please forgive me for being rude."

"What did you find?" Luo Lanye's attention was obviously attracted by the abnormality on the corpse just now, "Is there something wrong with the corpse?"

Bai Chen nodded, "Let Zuo tear off the exposed layer first, I suspect that this corpse does not belong to the centurion."

Luo Lanye frowned, and immediately ordered Zuo, "Tear off slowly along the edge."

"Yes!"

Wu Zuo didn't dare to be negligent, and began to tear from the sticky layer of skin that Bai Chen rubbed out, unexpectedly tearing off a face!

The one lying on the table now is completely another person.

His appearance bears no resemblance to the previous centurions except for the shape of his face.

Luo Lanye's expression changed drastically. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

"These bastards!" He couldn't help cursing.

Wu Zuo was stunned, "This, is this another person?"

Wu Qifang still hadn't come to his senses, "What does this mean? Isn't this the centurion? If it's not him, who is it?!"

"This is not a centurion, this is just a scapegoat." Bai Chen looked at Luo Lanye and said, "The real centurion has disappeared."

Luo Lanye's anger had been suppressed quickly, and he had regained his previous calmness.

He picked up the beautifully made face and looked at it for a while, then asked, "How did you know he was wearing this?"

Bai Chen said: "I didn't notice it before, but I just thought this corpse gave me a rather weird feeling. Later, I observed it carefully and found that the skin on this person's face was darker, and the neck was slightly whiter. Some, there is still a clear dividing line between the two places, as if something stuck to it, I tried to rub it, but I didn't expect to get a layer of skin."

"Lord Luo." Bai Chen cupped his hands, "There may be something inside this matter."

The dead centurion became someone else, so where did the real centurion go?Did he abscond in fear of crime or was taken away by the killer organization?

The centurion was appointed by the imperial court. If he also becomes an inner ghost, it must be related to the collusion between the imperial court and the power that is exhausted.

Follow this line to follow the vines, and I am afraid that many big fish will be caught.

"I see." Luo Lanye looked at Wu Zuo, "Check this person's body carefully again, don't let go of even the hair."

"Yes!"

With Luo Lanye watching from the side, Wu Zuo naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and inspected the corpse carefully from head to toe.

Check this again, and I really found out some tricks.

Two inches above the corpse's neck, there was a small lightning mark, which had been hidden in the hair before, so it would be impossible to detect without a lot of effort.

Wu Qifang drew this mark on paper and handed it to Luo Lanye.

Luo Lanye picked up the paper and snorted, "It's from Wuyinglou."
