Startled Meng

Chapter 146

The appearance of Yu Fangzhi surprised Yan Cijing for a moment, and then he looked at the imperial army worriedly, and found that no one noticed them, so he was relieved and let Yu Fangzhi rub his waist.

While kneading, Yu Fangzhi said: "The mountain road is rugged and the vegetation is dense. Let alone looking for traces, it is very difficult to walk alone. They are not dedicated to what they do."

Yan Cijing also knew that the road was not easy to walk. He was standing on the slope at this moment. If it wasn't for Yu Fangzhi's arms around his waist, he might not know where he would slide. It doesn't matter if you understand him, but the language is different, he asked deliberately: "You also think I shouldn't go up the mountain, should I go down the mountain to look for it?"

Yu Fangzhi hugged Yan Cijing into his arms, completely blocked Yan Cijing's figure, and shouted back: "Master Yan ordered, disperse on the spot and search by yourself, gather in place after a stick of incense!"

The imperial army got the order, no matter who gave the order, they quickly scattered around to find a place to hide.

Yan Cijing leaned against Yu Fangzhi's arms, his slightly stiff breastplate felt a little tight, and he stretched out his finger to poke it.

I don't know where I got the costume from, so I won't be afraid of being discovered if I sneak into the imperial army like this, and even decide to distract others for him, Yan Cijing deliberately asked: "What are you doing here?"

Yu Fangzhi wiped away the mud spots on Yan Cijing's cheeks, squeezed them, and said, "If I don't come, who else can help you?"

This is the way to unconditionally support his search. Yan Cijing tickled the corner of his mouth and asked him, "Is the armor heavy along the way?"

After hearing this, Yu Fangzhi arched his head into Yan Cijing's shoulder socket, and complained angrily: "It's heavy, the shoulders are pressed, the chest is tight, and the boots are stuck in the mud and I can't pull them out. It's so uncomfortable."

Yan Cijing suppressed a smile, brushed away the sweat-drenched hair from the young master's temples, and said softly, "I didn't ask you to follow."

The fast horse galloped, bumped all the way, was exhausted, and couldn't get a word of irony, the eldest young master was not happy, hummed twice, and said: "It's not all for you, good intentions will not be rewarded."

Yan Cijing pulled his flailing hand away and asked, "The incident is urgent, and the departure from Yecheng is very low-key. How do you know that I came out to investigate the case?"

Yu Fang asked in displeasure, "Can't I come?"

"No," Yan Cijing said, "You came just in time. It is definitely not that simple to steal Prince Yin's tomb."

Yu Fangzhi looked at Yan Cijing's pensive look, and was a little surprised at his sharpness, so he asked tentatively, "Why isn't it simple?"

Yan Cijing said: "The spring festival is hosted by Wei Cheng, and the focus is on the Temple of Heaven in Ye City. No one in the mausoleum pays attention to it, so there is room for manipulation, but this matter was not exposed in the court. Only a few people know about it. To say that someone behind the scenes wants to use this case to destroy Wei Cheng's prestige is really not enough."

Yu Fangzhi asked: "No matter how things go, who do you guess?"

Yan Cijing replied: "Except for Zhang Shaoqiu, I can't think of anyone else."

Yu Fangzhi cooperated with Zhang Shaoqiu and knew it was Zhang Shaoqiu's fault, but Zhang Shaoqiu didn't tell him the specifics, and he still didn't know anything about it, "Prince Yin's mausoleum was stolen, did he do it on purpose to dig it up for Wei Cheng?" The trap, or did it happen suddenly, and he got a chance by chance?"

Yan Cijing pulled Zhengyu Fangzhi's shoulder, looked at him, and said, "I brought people into the mountain just to make sure that these tomb robbers are real tomb robbers."

Yu Fang knew that Yan Cijing's entry into the mountain was definitely not a random crash without direction, but he had never entered the underground palace, so he didn't know what Yan Cijing saw in the underground palace. Let's wait until we find evidence.

No matter what kind of evidence it is, Yu Fang can't guess it, but Bishan is inaccessible, people will leave traces when they walk around, and the things brought out of the coffin, no matter what it is, you will always find it if you search patiently.

"If it's not raining, it might be easier to find." Yan Cijing's long robe was tucked into his belt by Yu Fangzhi, making walking much easier, but his knees touched the half-person-high weeds and were already soaked.

Yu Fangzhi has been following Yan Cijing, holding his arm steadily, and walking with him.Although Yan Cijing didn't say anything, Yu Fangzhi could tell a little about it.

Yan Cijing has been circling around the mountainside that does not exceed the height of the mausoleum, and he does not search blindly on the mountain. He should suspect that the tomb robbers lost or lost something after leaving the underground palace and before going down the mountain.

Yan Cijing brushed the grass with a well-known saber, and said to him: "The mausoleum officials have sent people to search before, and they found nothing all the way down the mountain. The road, but I think the place near the underground palace is the most likely place to find evidence."

When I left the underground palace, I lost things... Yu Fangzhi thought carefully, the tomb robbers were not greedy when they stole, and they packed everything away.

If the large vases and utensils would not be brought out at all, the small ones would not be willing to throw away... According to Yan Cijing, the tomb robbers only entered the apse where the bones were stored. Once lit, it can be thrown away, only...

Yu Fang knew that there seemed to be a hole in the back of the spine, letting in the cool wind, he clasped Yan Cijing's arm tightly, and asked, "Did Prince Yin's bones be taken away?"

Before Yan Cijing could nod his head, a forbidden soldier rushed out from behind the tree as if fleeing for his life, and reported with frowning face and tongue out: "Master Yan! Come and see, is it this thing?"

Judging from the faces of the imperial guards, Yu Fang knew that he had almost guessed the "thing" he had found, and Yan Cijing's expression was even more serious.

After following the forbidden army, there was already a circle of people around the place, the bold ones pinched their noses and looked a few more times, the timid ones squatted beside them with their stomachs in their arms and retched.

Yan Cijing was not afraid, but when he saw Yu, he knew that he was pulled behind him, so he accepted his kindness, obediently followed him and walked forward slowly, reminding in a low voice: "Prince Yin died in the sea of ​​fire."

When dying in the sea of ​​fire, the corpse will be blackened and curled into a ball, dry and brittle, just like the bones discarded in the deep forest.

Seeing that only the ribcage of the upper body is extremely broken, and several ribs are missing, falling to the ground alone, it is more pitiful than terrifying.

"Take it away."

Yan Cijing ordered, but all the imperial guards were hesitant, no one took the initiative to step forward, but Yu Fangzhi squatted down, took off the cloak to wrap the bones, and stood up with his arms in his arms.

Yan Cijing didn't say anything, and waved his hand to let the rest of the people continue to search before it got dark.

After dark, Yan Cijing asked Yu Fangzhi to follow him into the underground palace openly, not only because of selfishness, but also because only Yu Fangzhi was willing to hold the bones he found.

In the apse, the funerary objects fished out of the coffin were all over the floor. Fu Chun and Yang Xun were looking at the list and comparing each other, and looked up at the same time when they heard the movement.

Fu Chun was startled when he saw the person behind Yan Cijing, but Yang Xun didn't know the language, so he was displeased and said: "The underground palace can be entered by ordinary cats and dogs, go out!"

Yan Cijing satirized, "If he doesn't come in, who would dare to hold Prince Yin's body?" Then with a cold face and words, Fang Zhi climbed the stone steps, put Prince Yin's bones back into the coffin, and finally got married with the coffin. The skull and limbs are matched in pairs.

The candles in the hall flickered slightly, and the incense was heavy, and Prince Yin was temporarily clean.

This step was smooth, but Yan Cijing faintly felt that something was wrong, and it was disrespectful to look at the corpses of the ancestors wantonly, but Yan Cijing couldn't care less, and climbed on the coffin to stare at the remains in the coffin.

"Master Yan?"

Fu Chun recalled Yan Cijing's consciousness, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to see the suspicion in Yu Fangzhi's eyes, and the two looked at each other, temporarily suppressing the doubts in their hearts.

Yan Cijing asked Fu Chun nonchalantly about the situation.

Fu Chun stared at Lin Lang all over the floor for a long time, a little dazzled, stood up for a long time before recovering, and said: "I asked Mr. Zhong, the gold and jade piled up in the coffin were not lost much, but it was strange. Yes, most of the things lost were superficial things, and the tomb robbers don't seem to be rushing for the funerary objects..."

Yan Cijing hurriedly asked: "How do you say?"

Fu Chun expressed his conjecture in his heart: "There is nothing missing in the side hall, and there are many utensils in the coffin. If it is said that the tomb robbers came for money, they even took away the priceless gadgets, but they didn't take away more. Good jade and gold that is valuable and easier to sell.”

Yan Cijing immediately added: "They also took a lot of trouble to take away Prince Yin's sternum."

Yang Xun shouted in amazement: "You mean, the grave robbers broke into the underground palace just to hide the prince's corpse?"

"Are you crazy?" Yang Xun patted the ashes on his knees, and argued, "How is that possible? If you want to steal it, why do you have to throw it out of the underground palace? It's easy to explain if you only took a few gadgets. After all, it was the royal family who stole it." Mausoleum, dawdling is easy to be caught, how could it be possible to take away all valuable things so accurately."

After tossing around in the dark underground palace for half a day, Yang Xun felt that his body was full of stench, and he wished to return to Beijing immediately. He said impatiently: "It's fine if the corpse is found. The Spring Festival is coming, so why bother? Come back quickly." Beijing to report to the emperor!"

Yan Cijing stood still, Fu Chun felt that something was wrong, and walked into the coffin, wanting to see the neatly arranged corpse, before he could look into the coffin, Yang Xun moved the torch beside the coffin After leaving, Fu Chun didn't see anything clearly.

Yang Xun urged: "Let's go! What are you waiting for?"

"Master Fu!" Yan Cijing said to Fu Chun in a low voice, "Your official suspects that the gang of tomb robbers have other backgrounds."

Fu Chun patted Yan Cijing's shoulder reassuringly, and said, "Let's go out first and talk about it. It's important to go back and return to life, and we'll check the rest later."

Turning around, I saw Yu Fangzhi standing beside the coffin without saying a word, and pulled him with one free hand: "Let's go!"

Yan Cijing and Yu Fangzhi had no choice but to follow Fu Chun out, and the two fell behind, looking east and west, hoping to find out what was wrong.

Yan Cijing whispered, "I don't think something is right."

Yu Fangzhi also said, "Me too."

Yan Cijing thought for a while, then chased after Fu Chun, and asked, "Master Fu, how will the human body change after the fire?"

Fu Chun was old, tired from running around all day, and his eyelids were fighting vigorously, so he only said that he should go out first.

In this way, Yan Cijing could only go out with him.

Yecheng Zhangfu

Zhang Shaoqiu was getting angry in the study, he kicked over the two men who were kneeling on the ground, and kicked away the scattered things under his feet, jade cups and silver rings flew around the room, tinkling and clanging.

Zhang Shaoqiu's broad face was bruised, and he cursed: "Thousands of reminders, you can only move the corpse when you open the coffin, who the hell let you mess with the funeral objects?"

"It's good now! The case is handled according to an ordinary tomb robbery case. Who would notice the difference in the corpse in the coffin?"

The two men tried to argue nonchalantly, but they were kicked by Zhang Shaoqiu a few more times, and they were even scolded: "You are a disgraceful thing, you can't open your eyes when you see money, and I will ruin all my plans and layouts on you two idiots." !"

Zhang Shaoqiu walked around the room several times with green smoke on his head, clapped his hands, pushed open the door and ran out in a hurry.

"Come on! Prepare your horse!"
