Chapter 29 Opening the Coffin

Is Mr. Liu dead? No one knows.

Nowadays, no one except the Liu family has seen the body of Mrs. Liu.

The inner prison was quiet and depressing. Yunyang waved his hand, and all the spies in the room silently retreated.

He suddenly stood up and paced around the room: "Mrs. Liu is not dead. We must have found out the key. The Liu family is panicking and can only use this method to force us to stop."

Chen Ji pretended to be surprised and said: "Mr. Liu is not dead? No way. Will the Liu family cheat on such a big matter? I see that Liu is obviously very sad."

Yun Yang smiled and said: "Officials from both the government and the public have done even more outrageous things in order to fight for power and profit. It is not unusual for a ninety-year-old man to fake his own death to save his family's heirs. And Liu Mingming, those civil servants are used to doing this. Pretend."

As he said that, he turned to look at Chen Ji: "What do you think I should do?"

Chen Ji lowered his eyes and replied after a moment: "Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy."

Yunyang was startled: "Mr. Liu is the biological father of the current Queen Mother. I have no problem checking the Liu family, but opening his coffin is asking for death! I just discovered now that you are braver than me. What if he is real?" Dead?"

Chen Ji held the Bagua lantern with both hands, raised his head and looked at Yunyang: "Master Yunyang, even if Mr. Liu is really dead, wouldn't you be willing to open the coffin and take a look?"

Yunyang paced around the room quickly, thinking quickly about all the possibilities of opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy. Finally, he stopped and said firmly: "Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy!"

At this time, a dark wind blew from the depths of the inner prison, causing the Bagua lamp in Chen Ji's hand to sway.

Just now, Chen Ji only collected Bingliu from cells with sizes A and B, and did not dare to look at the cells with other sizes.

But at this moment, as the sinister wind swept across, there were actually ice streams from cells C, D, E, Ji and others deeper in the inner prison that were ready to move and rushed up on their own initiative!

The ice flow in Chen Ji's body actually has a tendency that cannot be suppressed!

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

Chen Ji stood up and walked out: "Master Yunyang, my master must be worried after being out for so long. Please send me back first."

Yunyang smiled sinisterly and said: "The idea came from me. Do you want to leave now? Let's go together. It's not appropriate to involve other people in this matter. It happens that you have some talents in autopsy. If Mrs. Liu is in the coffin, you can also Find out the cause of his death. If something really happened, no one can escape."

Chen Ji hesitated: "Master Yunyang, the credit belongs to you and Master Jiaotu. I only made suggestions."

"What if I don't take you with me, but your plan is to trick us?" Yunyang sneered: "Let's go quickly and pick up the rabbit. We have to arrive near the Liu family's ancestral grave before nightfall."

Cloud Sheep and White Rabbit are not good at catching spies, but they are good at protecting themselves, passing the blame, and grabbing credit.

He blindfolded Chen Ji again and asked in surprise: "What do you always do with this Bagua lamp?"

With that said, he snatched it away with his hands and put it back in its original position.

Chen Ji let Yunyang pull his clothes and stumbled out of the inner prison.

In the rickety carriage, he sat upright and gritted his teeth. Without the Bagua lamp, the ice flow became unbridled.

The gray curtains of the car window were blown up by the wind from time to time, and the setting sun outside the window shone on his face, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all.

I don’t know how long it took, someone opened the curtain of the carriage, and a cold fragrance hit my face, and the white rabbit got into the carriage: "Hey, Yunyang, why are you taking this kid with you?"

Yunyang was driving the carriage in front: "This kid came up with the idea, so of course I have to take him with me."

Jiaotu pulled off the old blindfold, picked off the cotton in his ears, and asked curiously: "Yun Yang, I heard that you sent all the jailers from the inner prison of Luo City to Lingnan? The prison rats won't be angry with you for making the decision without permission, right? After all, the inner prison is her territory."

Yunyang's face showed sarcasm: "She should think about how to face the wrath of the Inner Prime Minister. The inner prison has been infiltrated into a sieve, and information is leaked at will. I will definitely consult her on this matter."

The White Rabbit thought thoughtfully: "But being sent to Lingnan is very difficult. You have to walk a long way. I heard that malaria is rampant there. If you get it, you will suffer for a long time before you die."

Yunyang was startled for a moment: "Ah... what should we do?"

"Just kill him in Luo City, why go so far away," Jiaotu said seriously.

"That makes sense."

After saying that, Jiaotu looked at Chen Ji and said seriously again: "You shouldn't cheat us, right? If you cheat us, we will die."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "Master Jiaotu, if I cheat you and Master Yunyang, whose money will I make?"

"It's good to know!" Jiaotu said with a smile. She raised her wrist and brought it to the tip of Chen Ji's nose: "Smell, does the incense I just bought at Daughter's Pavilion smell good? It's valuable."

Yunyang frowned: "What do you want him to smell!?"

The White Rabbit glanced at him: "Drive your car well and mind your own business."

Yunyang shut up in anger.

Along the way, Chen Ji saw white paper money scattered on both sides, which was thrown into the sky on the day of the funeral of the Liu family.

Yunyang said disdainfully: "When I was alive, I had good clothes and good food, but after death, I have to spend so much paper money. I want to continue to be prosperous and wealthy on the other side, but I see that students from poor families can't even afford paper."

Jiaotu laughed and said: "Looking at how jealous you are, I should ask the Prime Minister to transfer you to the Criminal Division. They are investigating corrupt officials every day."

"I won't go. The Criminal Division is a bunch of old-fashioned people. They're bored to death."





At night, Yunyang and Jiaotu changed drivers, and he got into the car to guard the traces.

"By the way," Yunyang looked directly into Chen Ji's eyes: "When the children of the Liu family were interrogated, they said that Liu Shiyu had a very good relationship with a certain important person in Prince Jing's Palace. I suspect that Prince Jing's Palace was also involved, and even someone from Jing Dynasty was involved. Spies are operating in the palace...Have you found any clues in the palace?"

Chen Ji's heart tightened: "Master Yunyang, are you sure there are spies in the palace?"

The air in the carriage suddenly solidified, as if an invisible hand was pulling between them.

Yunyang asked thoughtfully: "Do you think it is possible that Imperial Physician Yao was a spy of the Jing Dynasty? He is highly respected in the Imperial Hospital in the capital, and many dignitaries want him to come to their homes for consultation. Even Long Live Lord wants to summon him."

He wanted to stay in the palace permanently. But he refused. He actually came to Luo City three years ago and became the imperial physician for Prince Jing’s Mansion...Do you think it’s strange?”

"What's strange," Chen Ji asked curiously, "Has my master changed in any way over the years?"

"Imperial Physician Yao is famous for being mean in the capital, but the Prime Minister once said that he was not like this in his early years. At that time, Imperial Physician Yao was very charitable and even willing to treat people for free."

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "I don't think my master is like a spy. Previously, someone in the palace asked him for consultation, but he was unwilling to go. If he was a spy, how could he give up the opportunity to contact the important figures in the palace?"

"It makes sense," Yunyang touched his chin: "What about your two senior brothers? I checked them and found that Liu Quxing is a branch of the Liu family. Is it possible that he is?"

Chen Ji took a deep breath and looked confused: "Master Yunyang, you are not doubting me in a roundabout way, are you?"

Yunyang smiled and said: "How could it be you? I have absolute trust in you, but I just tell you to be careful about the people around you."

The white rabbit suddenly said: "Stop the carriage in the woods nearby. We will soon reach the Liu family's ancestral grave. Let's climb over the mountain and walk there."

The three of them got off the car and climbed along the mountain road beside the official road to the top of Zhuangyuan Mountain.

Yunyang and White Rabbit were very fast. Chen Ji thought he would be out of breath from exhaustion, but he didn't expect that he didn't even break out a sweat when they climbed to the top of the mountain.

He lay panting heavily on the mountain and asked extremely tiredly: "Can you see the Liu family's ancestral graves here?"

Yunyang pointed forward: "That's it, the highest point in Beimang."

Chen Ji propped up his body and looked around, only to see that at the highest point of Beimang Mountain, there were continuous stone tablets and stone mausoleums, which actually stretched for dozens of acres. The Liu family's ancestral tombs were very lively.

In front of each mausoleum, there are stone figures, stone sheep, stone tigers, and stone pillars. Some mausoleums are more than ten feet high!

You must know that the Ning Dynasty was very hierarchical. Common people were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, common people were not allowed to wear boots, and non-officials were not allowed to wear bamboo hats. Every clear decree flaunted the etiquette and hierarchy.

For example, the Liu family's mausoleums, which are more than ten feet high, must have been of the third grade or above during their lifetime.

Yunyang looked at the ancestral graves and mausoleums and said with emotion: "I would rather live in a civil servant family and serve as ministers for thousands of years, ride on the heads of the people, drink blood, and save a lot of family property, so that I can have this kind of scenery."

Chen Ji subconsciously felt that something was wrong. The Ning Dynasty had lasted for thousands of years. This was an unbelievable thing. According to the laws of history, it was impossible to happen.

Unless there is external force.

At this time, Jiaotu said: "There is indeed something wrong with the death of the old man of the Liu family. You see, there are hundreds of private soldiers stationed in the ancestral tomb, and there may even be senior officials guarding it. The last time we sent spies to Luo City to find out,

I once explored this place, and at that time there were only a dozen people stationed here at the Liu family’s ancestral tomb.”

"Then we can't break in forcefully," Yun Yang frowned and looked at Jiao Tu: "You take action? I can't open the coffin."

Jiaotu glanced at Chen Ji: "Let him blindfold his eyes and turn his back to me, and you will protect me."

Chen Ji took the initiative to turn his back. He understood that the way to practice as an official should not be known to others.

But after he blindfolded himself, Jiaotu sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, pulled out the short knife from his waist and cut his forehead.

Yunyang cut his own finger, dotted the eyes of more than a dozen paper shadow puppets, and stayed close to the white rabbit.

The next moment, a shadow suddenly appeared between Jiaotu's eyebrows, breaking away from her body like a crab shedding its shell.

The shadow stood still, looking like a white rabbit, but it was wearing black light armor and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword that was taller than a man!

The White Rabbit himself remained motionless, while the Yin God looked at Yunyang and said, "I'm going."

After saying that, I saw the Yin God walked to the cliff and jumped down, landing on the treetops at the foot of the mountain as light as nothing. With each jump, he could easily cross more than ten big trees and go straight to the Liu family's ancestral grave!

Gradually, the sky turned completely dark, and the Yin God merged with the night.

When the White Rabbit Yin Shen came to the tomb of the old man of the Liu family, he ran straight into the stone mausoleum while no one was paying attention!

It’s as if the stone wall doesn’t exist!

After a long time, the Yin Shen quickly retreated, burrowed into the brow of the white rabbit and was no longer seen. She suddenly opened her eyes and said in surprise: "There is really no one in the coffin!"
