Chapter 2317: Opening the coffin
The three of them did not eat immediately but waited for Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng to return.
Su Wuming must deal with a murder case.
About half an hour later, the food was cold and they finally came back.
There is a cook in Sima's mansion, so he asked the cook to heat up the dishes.
Everyone started eating.
After the meal, Xue Huan brewed Nanling black tea.
Everyone was chatting while drinking tea.
Master Fei Ji sighed, "What kind of deep hatred does that old servant have with the Xie family? He actually attacked this fiercely on the day when the other party was overjoyed, and he still fought with his life."
Lu Lingfeng: "That Xie Bantu is Xie Gong's nephew. According to him, this old servant once had a son. As a scholar, his son encountered a water tornado in the lake and saved the two young masters and could not get on the boat. However, because the water tornado was too big, Xie Gong ordered people to dock the boat for the sake of the entire ship's life."
Master Fei Ji said speechlessly: "Isn't this ungrateful? No wonder!"
Zhou Hao: "Not to mention the rare phenomenon of water tornadoes appearing in this lake, just talk about why a child went down to save people during the storm. The old servant and son grew up by the water. They have good water nature and others don't save them, so why don't he save his children? This statement is too contradictory and it is not necessarily true."
Su Wuming nodded: "Xie Bantou is Xie Gong's nephew. He only thinks about things from his own standpoint. Now the old servant has already shaved himself. If the Xie family does not tell the truth, we will never know the truth."
The truth doesn't matter. This old servant should seek revenge from Mr. Xie, who ordered the ship to return.
The two young masters couldn't make decisions from beginning to end, so they were innocent.
This is also the reason why Zhou Hao took action.
Lu Lingfeng sighed: "This old servant is a character. When his son died, he did not take revenge immediately. Instead, he endured for more than ten years. When both the young masters of the Xie family passed the Jinshi, they would suddenly take revenge. This move is too cruel!"
I feel very impressed by this guy's tone.
However, it is indeed worthy of admiration to be able to endure for more than ten years.
Pei Xijun: "The two brothers Xie Ming and Xie Hui are very similar to the two chess children playing on the stone bridge map. The servant on his back should be the old servant. Can you call Xie Bantu to ask?"
Lu Lingfeng glared and said, "What are you kidding? There are only two young children on the stone bridge picture. How could you tell it?!"
Pei Xijun pouted and said, "Everyone who knows how to draw portraits knows that people's appearance is regular. Whether they gain weight or lose weight, or from childhood to adulthood, from adulthood to old age, experienced painters can see it."
This is a bit exaggerated. Three-year-old painting is not something that any artist can do, it requires talent and a lot of practice.
Su Wuming asked someone to call Xie Bantuo.
Pei Xijun asked, "Xie Bantou, Xie Ming and Xie Hui are the two young men playing chess on the stone bridge map?"
"Stone Bridge Picture?" Xie Bantou looked confused.
Pei Xijun looked at Su Wuming: "It seems that he doesn't know about this. Brother Xie should go to the Xie family to ask the two young masters."
Su Wuming: "If Xijun's judgment is correct, then the dead or dying person will not only be the four sons of Nanzhou, but all the people appearing on the stone bridge map. Let's do this, let's see Mr. Xie together tomorrow."
Lu Lingfeng didn't believe it at all.
He said, "Miss Pei, I know you are good at painting, but I don't believe your eyes are so powerful. If you are wrong, please don't talk too much when analyzing the case in the future. But if you are right, that is the key to the investigation of this case. I, Lu Lingfeng, should thank you very much."
Pei Xijun showed a smug smile on her face, and she felt that she was sure to win.
-------------------------------------
If you don’t cry until you see the coffin, you are talking about Lu Lingfeng.
Su Wuming and several people went to see Mr. Xie, proving that one thing was that Xie Ming and Xie Hui were indeed the person on the stone bridge map.
So Lu Lingfeng could only thank him with great gifts.
Su Wuming borrowed the stone bridge map from the state again. They have now begun to suspect that the murderer is going to kill the person on the stone bridge map.
Xie Ming and Xie Hui brothers were not dead, but the old servant who committed the murder committed suicide. Just as Lu Lingfeng sighed, an old servant could not have deliberately endured it for more than ten years before he took revenge.
It is very likely that someone blew up in front of the old servant.
......
Su Wuming and Pei Xijun carefully looked at the stone bridge picture again.
Lu Lingfeng couldn't see anything and was standing aside to pose.
Zhou Hao walked over and reached out and pointed his hand in the bushes.
"There are still people here!"
Pei Xijun said in surprise: "Hey! There is really a person. There is a woodcutter lying between the branches of the tree. Although he can't see his face clearly, he is a young man from his figure. He should be thirty-five or six years old now."
Su Wuming asked Lu Lingfeng to find two squad leaders and asked them to take the yamen runner to find the woodcutter.
It should be easy to find this woodcutter. The stone bridge picture is the first picture in Nanzhou. The people who go up the stone bridge picture are already local celebrities.
But unfortunately, it was too late when they went there and the people didn't bring them back.
The woodcutter fell off the cliff while chopping wood, and his body has not been found yet.
Now Su Wuming is even more sure that the murderer is the one on the stone bridge map.
Su Wuming decided to open the coffin and examine the autopsy, but there was no small resistance in it to open Yan Yuanfu's coffin.
He took Lu Lingfeng to find Governor Xiong, who refused without surprise.
If the four sons of Nanzhou were murdered, there is no doubt that this would have a great blow to Nanzhou's reputation.
Finally, Su Wuming issued a military order and was dismissed if nothing was found.
In addition, Lu Lingfeng threatened Xiong under the name of the prince, so Xiong had to agree.
What Lu Lingfeng said is actually the truth. Although he was indeed cheated by the prince, as long as he still has value, the prince will sooner or later think of him.
He really won't take this kind of governor from the state seriously.
-------------------------------------
At the opening of the coffin, most of the people from Nanzhou came.
Yan Yuanfu's mother cried so sadly, crying to death.
Their family disagreed with opening the coffin. In their opinion, the truth of death is not important, but what is important is to be buried in peace.
Zhou Hao was speechless. If the murderer was not allowed to be killed, how could he be buried in peace?
The Feng Shui here is pretty good. If you are buried in a corpse raising site, there is a high chance that such a corpse with resentment will turn into a corpse.
However, Su Wuming does not need his family's consent to open the coffin, and the governor can do so.
Of course, the governor was not voluntarily, and was waiting to see Su Wuming's joke.
Rumble! Thunder rumbling, the sky is getting dark, it is going to rain.
The coffin has been opened and it has been buried for several days. This smells bad.
Zhou Hao is also here to help maintain order, but he stands far away.
The heavy rain gradually started, and few of the onlookers left.
It seems that they are all fans of the Sizi of Nanzhou, so they are too fanatical.
Zhou Hao opened the oil-paper umbrella. He was not stupid, why did he wet himself?
Chapter completed!
