Wang Yan also approached and saw Lan Jue touching it, which was cloud patterns next to the crane with lucidum.

"Brother Mo Wen, please see, these clouds are not enough."

Wang Yan said with a oh, the cloud patterns on the stone carvings were indeed strands, similar to water patterns, but these cloud patterns were very common in scroll carvings.

Lan Jue said: "This cloud pattern style began after Emperor Kang of the Chu Dynasty. Concubine Liang Hui, the mother of Emperor Kang, dreamed of auspicious clouds entering her arms at night, and later gave birth to Emperor Kang. Emperor Kang's nickname was Xiangyuner. After Emperor Kang ascended the throne, he avoided his name and the cloud patterns were not formed, and they were all painted as scattered water waves."

When Chu died and the previous dynasty was established, the auspicious clouds that were formed were reused.

Lan Jue pointed to the bat engravings next to him: "The wings of these bats are supported by the sun and moon. The previous dynasty Taizong was notorious and was the King of Fu before ascending the throne."

Then the previous dynasty Taizong could also be ruled out.

"Stone carving is not a modern technique. If someone hadn't deliberately made it old, it could be concluded that it was a thing from the late Chu Dynasty."

Wang Yan grinned: "Peizhi has good eyesight, and has helped me a lot!"

Lan Jue said: "I dare not, I dare not, I don't know much about the shape and the gradation of the past, so I can only speculate based on the patterns. However, the size of this stone coffin is used by the king and prince..."

Wang Yan touched his chin: "I don't read those historical books and so on. Was the emperor of the Chu Dynasty very good to be born? And there were many people who liked the gods and gods in that dynasty."

Lan Jue nodded. The Chu Dynasty was popular in Taoism, and it was dedicated to nourishing qi and discussing mystery, and looking for prescriptions and refining medicine. Many royal relatives were in contact with Daoliu and called themselves Taoist people and lay Buddhists. Moreover, the royal family was prosperous, so Emperor Kang had more than 30 princes, and almost twenty princes were named kings and lived to be over 70 years old. These princes gave birth to a bunch of children, and the emperor's granddaughters gave birth to a bunch of granddaughters... Later, the land in the world was not enough, and the people could not support the royal family. The people were in chaos frequently, and the border was constantly wars, and finally they were destroyed.

The previous dynasty was destroyed so quickly, which was related to the fact that there were too many veins of the Chu royal family. Like the little leeks in the field, a large area appeared every once in a while, making a fuss under the name of "reversing the Chu" and making a fuss. After slapping, one wave after another appeared, and it continued. The previous dynasty emperor hated it and called it "Chu lice".

From Emperor Kang to the fall of the Chu Dynasty, about eighty/90 years, there were at least one hundred people who were good at Taoism and used such coffins in these years.

and……

Lan Jue continued to look at the sarcophagus: "If this is a coffin, the style is not very correct. Because the Chu Dynasty was good at Taoism, it was particularly important to tombs, wooden coffins, stone coffins, and the principles of raising stones from wood. The body of the coffin is the earth, and the coffin cover is used as the sky, or the nature and earth are combined, or the sky and earth are combined, and there must be one of them. That is, the body of the wooden coffin or the coffin cover must be integrated with the stone coffin."

But the inside of this stone coffin is very smooth, and there are no grooves or inlay marks on the body or cover.

Wang Yan frowned: "What does it mean? This thing is not a coffin?"

Lan Jue said: "In my foolish opinion, this seems to be a coffin, not really for storing corpses. But the poem is so mysterious that it doesn't seem like just to joke with a tomb robber."

Wang Yan stared at the sarcophagus and touched his chin: "This thing is becoming more and more confusing. It doesn't matter, the female corpse, even the Yao family, must have something to do with this sarcophagus. If you dig out other clues and string them together, you will have the answer."

Lan Jue said: "It's a pity that it's not in the capital. The Chu Dynasty could use this kind of funeral ritual and could be buried near the capital. Historical materials should be found. With the name, other clues, or the truth comes out."

Wang Yan said: "I'm going to ask someone to go back to the capital to check. Peizhi, thank you very much. After going down the mountain, we'll have a drink together."

Lan Jue said tactfully: "It's not too early, so it's better to go back to the county government soon."

Wang Yan must have spent his own money when treating a meal, but the show will definitely not be bad. If he was eaten and drunk by the book "Youxin Renren" at such a fatal moment, even if Master Wang is his relative, I may not be able to protect him.

Wang Yan said: "Well, that's right. Old Feng has gone to borrow someone from the Ministry of War to prevent Fanzi from assassinating King Dai. You have to worry more about it here."

Lan Jue was stunned: "What?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know? You even thought you came here for this time to meet Lao Feng for this matter. How could he not tell you?"

Lan Jue was surprised: "How could Lord Feng say that the assassination of King Dai in the foreign country?"

Wang Yan said: "I don't know about such secret official duties. I only heard that Feng Tai went to the Ministry of War to inquire about foreign countries two days ago."

Lan Jue became increasingly puzzled that all the affairs of the court's exchanges with other countries were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, but some military conspiracies such as the enemy's situation at the border were under the Ministry of War and reported directly to the emperor.

Tachi is a small country and has always relied on the protection of the heavens and the dynasty. The ancient capital of Duer and the Chabucharik are both fighting for support from the court. Why did they suddenly involve the Ministry of War?

If there is really something, it should be a zong □□ investigation. The emperor must also tell me why Feng Tai did it here?

Lan Jue said: "There are many affairs in Jingzhao Mansion, or does Lord Feng have any other important official duties."

Wang Yan said: "But when I came here, my father also told me that when I arrived in Fengle, be careful in everything."

Lan Jue was confused. Wang Yan must have learned about Feng Tai's visit to the Ministry of War.

If it weren't for Fengle, Master Wang wouldn't have told his son like this.

The more Lan Jue thought about it, the more he felt something was strange. He hurriedly climbed up the soft ladder and rushed back to the county government with Wang Yan.

On the county jail, Feng Tai asked Zhang Ping harshly about Ding Wei.

Zhang Ping didn't know the trouble caused by King Dai, nor did he understand why Feng Tai judged that the foreign country would assassinate King Dai.

He still felt that Ding Wei came to Fengle for Yao Yuanwai and Grandma Temple.

Ding Wei and his accomplices set fire to the county government office to delay investigation, and the purpose was to lie in the secrets hidden by the female corpse and the sarcophagus.

He reported everything he saw truthfully. Feng Tai rarely dismissed some of the shortcomings of the evidence, and said: "Forget it, go out quickly and let someone guard the prison room, and no one is allowed to go in and out. But don't disclose this matter at all. Ding Wei, you don't have to retrial, and don't let him see the clues and flaws that you suspect that he is a foreign country. I will go and take a look later."

Zhang Ping received the order and looked up a little again: "The official wants to ask the adults, but when the adults examined Yao Yuanwai's body, they found that Yao Yuanwai's death was related to foreign countries?"

Feng Tai stared at him with a pale face and said for a moment: "When Minister Lan and Minister Wang come back, our mansion will explain the matter together, and you will be present at that time."

Zhang Ping bowed and left the door.

The sunset outside the corridor happened to be right. He followed Feng Tai's instructions to slaughter the captain and the yamen runners. Just as he planned to go to the file library to take a look, Xie Fu hurried over with a booklet in his sleeve.

"The original owner of the broken house where the sarcophagus dug out has been checked. It is very strange that this house was owned by this family before, but apart from that, there is no record of life and death and marriage in this family."
