Chapter 104: Murder a Thousand Years Ago (Kavin, It's Late.) )
"Hurry, hurry! I don't want to sleep with a skeleton tonight. Jia Lei looked at the dark sky and said.
"It's fast enough, everyone in the village has been called out! Even seven or eight-year-old dolls have come to work. Village Chief Li comforted Jia Lei and said.
After another half an hour of work, it was completely dark, and Jia Lei asked Ah Fei to take out the gas lamp and light two lights to start work overnight.
"Dig to the end!" a villager suddenly shouted excitedly, and Jia Lei immediately looked up.
"Can you go? Let's go back and figure out how to get this thing down for me. Jia Lei immediately stood up and said excitedly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stood up, the bone frame would stick to him.
"Hey, why can't she move?" Jia Lei bent down and asked, but unfortunately everyone else was gathered in front of him and no one paid attention to Jia Lei.
"Look, there's a word here!" said the drunkard Bai, pointing excitedly to the wooden plank at the foot of the female corpse.
"What words!" Jia Lei leaned over with a rattling bone rack and asked.
"It's all ancient words that I can't read!" said the little Jew, looking at it and withdrawing.
"I can tell it's regular script. Jia Lei glanced at it and retreated, because he saw something more important.
"Why are the bones of this young lady cuffed to the boat? I said, why can't I dig them up after digging for so long?" Jia Lei asked when he saw the bone frame with his feet bound by an iron chain.
"Because if you don't tie people to the boat, the corpse will float up, and once someone finds out, the murderer's life will be gone. Boss Wang glanced at the words on the board and said.
"Not only that, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, killing the clan can kill the three clans or punish the nine clans. That's why the murderer chained people to the cabin of the ship, and then dug a hole in the boat to disguise it as a shipwreck. The drunkard Bai looked at the words on the ground and said.
"What the hell is going on? Which of you can explain it to us?" Jia Lei asked anxiously.
"In the first year of Jingyun, the guests of honor traveled to the Luohe River together, and occasionally quarreled ......" The drunkard Bai began to read the words on the ground to Jia Lei.
"Don't understand?Can it be changed to vernacular?And when is the first year of Jingyun?" Jia Lei asked confusedly.
The meaning of these words is that in the first year of Jingyun, a county lord of the Tang Dynasty and his husband took a boat to play on the Luo River, and then a fight broke out! The county lord's husband accidentally pushed the county lord to the ground, hit the table and died of injuries. His husband was afraid that someone would find out that he had killed the county lord, but fortunately he killed all the county lord's attendants and servants without doing anything, and then disguised the ship's shipwreck as a shipwreck! Wu Sanye explained to Jia Lei in a very down-to-earth manner.
"People are dead, but who wrote down these things?" Jia Lei asked with a cold war.
"The county lord was not dead at that time, but he was dying, and his husband did not dare to finish her personally, but only dared to let her wait for her to die! So before he died, the county lord used a hairpin to engrave the incident on the ship's board. Boss Wang explained to Jia Lei.
"It's just that husband and wife fight and hurt people, it's not worth it to take so many lives!" said the drunkard Bai regretfully.
"This is a tragedy caused by domestic violence, right? I didn't expect that the fight between husband and wife in ancient times would have such serious consequences, and it was so much that it was murder......ous," Jia Lei sighed.
"I guess that man can't help it! How fierce is the princess and county lord of the Tang Dynasty? If the incident happened, the whole family of Yibin would be punished by the Nine Clans, so he would sink the ship in a hurry and destroy the corpse. That's why you picked up a big bargain!" Wu Sanye said.
"What big bargain did I pick up?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.
"This is a county lord! whatever she wears and takes out a random piece is a rare treasure, and it is priceless. This is her own official ship, and any one of her belongings on it is a national treasure. Boss Wang said enviously.
"The county lord is not a big man, he is just the daughter of a county king and a prince, and his net worth may not be a fraction of that of the princess and the county lord. How nice would it be if she were a princess?" Jia Lei thought for a while and said.
"This is the county lord of the Tang Dynasty! If you look at the earrings on her ears, you will know that she must be a rich person, even if the earrings with the size of the dice are made in the style of palace lanterns, you will know how gorgeous her clothes are! The county lord of the Tang Dynasty is the daughter of the prince, and it is not the same thing as the county lord of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, except for the prince's daughter, who could be named the county lord, the daughters of the other princes were all county lords, in fact, the status of the county lord at that time was higher than that of the county lord in the Ming Dynasty!" Boss Wang hated iron and said that these laymen were too annoying.
I don't know anything, but I can be lucky to find a treasure that is far more valuable than an ordinary tomb!
"What time is it, why don't you go home for dinner?" asked an old man in the village as he walked to the excavation site.
"Hey, the bones have been dug up, but they're locked in the boat, and we're looking for someone to take the wood. Village Chief Li said.
"This is ironwood, and you don't have to see it for half a day, so don't bother!" said the old man, glancing at the wood.
"What then?" Jia Lei asked worriedly, he couldn't stay here all night, right?
"Jia Lei, why don't we just saw the bones, right? This is fast, it's a big deal to connect the bones to her later. Ah Fei said.
"This ......" Jia Lei looked up at the dark night sky and couldn't help but tremble.
Whether it's being troubled by a ghost afterwards, or spending the night with a skeleton of bones in your arms, it doesn't seem like a good idea......
"Originally, we disturbed their rest, if we broke her bones again, wouldn't it be too much for us? Will she be angry with me and come to me in the middle of the night?" Jia Lei glanced at the bone frame and asked.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself! Ah Fei picked up an axe and walked over.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, it's better to be respectful of the dead. Leave it to me!" said the old man Li, who had just walked over.
"What can you do?" asked Jia Lei puzzled.
"What else can I do, of course, by breaking up the bones! In this case, unless you break her bones or chop up your bones, there is no second way to separate you. Old man Li said.
"Why don't we break the gold bracelet?" Dasha suddenly said.
"Hmm...... Good way...... But let's let Uncle Li try it first!" Jia Lei made a rare exaggeration.
Everyone has thought of such a simple solution for a long time, but no one has mentioned it.
Jia Lei looked at the jeweled and blind bracelet on his hand, and couldn't get his hands on it at all, okay? The others were even more reluctant.
"Housheng, you can help me find a hairpin that pile of jewelry that is a little harder and thinner!" said to Old Man Li to Ah Fei.
Ah Fei hurriedly took all the jewelry dug up by the villagers to Old Man Li, who picked and chose among a pile of jewelry, and finally took a copper-clad gold hairpin out.
"Bring me another flashlight!" said Old Man Li, and Jia Lei immediately asked Dasha to bring the brightest Gazi lamp.
"It's better to have this foreign lamp!" After the old man Li praised it, he picked up Jia Lei's paw and looked at it again.
"Don't move when I can work later, don't blame me if you accidentally stab you!" Old man Li reminded Jia Lei, and then inserted the hairpin into the place where the finger bones and the palm bones met and gently played with it.
"Smack!" Jia Lei saw the little finger of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw fall off.
"Find someone to keep it well, and when you put it in, you have to fight it back for others. Old man Li said to Jia Lei.
"Of course!" Jia Lei nodded quickly, but it was much better to tear down the bones than they had originally thought.
"Bang, bang!" Within half an hour, the sound of bones falling to the ground was heard one after another, and Jia Lei watched as Old Man Li took a broken hairpin and dismantled the corpse's metacarpal bones little by little.
"That's pretty much it, see if you can move!" Old man Li asked Jia Lei after dismantling half of the metacarpal bone.
"Oh, oh! I'll try. When Jia Lei heard this, he quickly moved and stuck into his stiff palm.
"I can move!" Jia Lei said in surprise.
"Hmm, it's almost ......," said Old Man Li with a squint of his eyes, and then he neatly removed another triangular bone.
"It's out!" Jia Lei made a little effort, and finally pulled his hand out of the bracelet.
"Are your hands okay?" Ah Fei asked worriedly, looking at Jia Lei's still stiff palm.
"It's okay! it's just a little bruised......" Jia Lei said as he looked at a deep purple scar in his palm.
"What time is it?" asked Old Man Li suddenly.
"It's almost 7 o'clock. Ah Fei glanced at his watch and replied.
"I'm going to go back quickly! Otherwise, I won't be able to see the news." After Old Man Li finished speaking, he walked back with his hands behind his back.
"I haven't thanked you yet?" Jia Lei shouted.
"It's a trivial matter, no thanks. Old man Li waved his hand and said.
"This old man is so powerful, what the hell is he doing?" asked the little Jew curiously.
"My second uncle is a butcher, and he is very good at removing bones. Village Chief Li said with a smile.
"But I'm not a pig or a sheep!, how can the old man be so familiar with human bones?" Jia Lei asked, rubbing his palms.
"My second uncle went to the tomb during the Republic of China, and later fought again, and I saw a lot of dead people and bones. Village Chief Li said indifferently.

"Grandpa, why didn't you take it out earlier? Old man Li's grandson rubbed his shoulders and asked.
"You didn't dig in vain, the little master gave money. If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't even figure out this little thing, I wouldn't have to make this trip!" said Old Man Li.
"Grandpa, I remember that the village chief told you this at noon, why didn't you go with the others to earn money at that time?" Old man Li's grandson asked curiously, he rushed over to dig the soil after he came back from carrying water.
"I went! But when I went, I heard the young master say that anyone who digs the soil can earn ten dollars! I can't delay the big guy from making money, right? So I came back secretly. Old man Li held a cigarette roll and said, this is a thank you gift that Jia Lei specially asked Ah Fei to send over.
As soon as the little young master's hand was taken out, he drove back the children and the old man who had gone to dig the soil. Old man Li's grandson said that he was driven back to sleep.
"Are you content? You women and children don't have much to do, and they give you ten dollars each. The rest of the overnight digging is still to be left to the men! This is a serious business, and you should not delay the work of others. Old man Li said.
"But grandpa, there are more than 500 people in our village today, do you think that little young master can get so much money?" asked Old Man Li's grandson worriedly.
"Surely? Not to mention that his car alone is more than 20,000 yuan. Old man Li said.
****
"Hey, so much gold has gone to the little master, we haven't caught it at all! Li Laofu said while digging the soil.
"What is a pity? There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry here, but the little young master didn't take it for nothing! According to the size, the little young master gave us money. Li Daniu squatted on the ground and carefully took out a silver plate and said.
"But don't we have to give all this money to the village to buy water? Li Laofu threw the shovel and sat down secretly to rest.
"Don't be content! You've been lazy all day, and you haven't done much work and still get water and money! Li Daniu said.
Today, the movement of a group of people digging is too big, and Jia Lei has to let people start work overnight, so as not to be reported for robbing tombs or someone is hot to steal and rob antiques.
Jia Lei and they didn't sleep at all this night, Ah Fei took the men to dig the sunken ship overnight, and Jia Lei took the women to clean the gold and silver utensils, even flower pots and chessboards overnight, and waited for the next day to be shipped away at dawn.
The entire Lijia Village was brightly lit up overnight, and almost everyone was busy with these antiques, and everyone knew that they had to get things out quickly so as not to be blushed.
But man is not as good as heaven...... Jia Lei didn't know that someone had been staring at him for a long time. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
