Chapter 167: Shelling (For o Circle Fish 0o Immortal Treasure +, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

The person in front of the window was Zhang Shaotian, the fourth master of the Zhang family in the Three Marquis and Five Phases, he lowered his eyes and looked at the black-clothed man in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "...... Still doesn't work? ”

The black-clothed man who was kneeling on one leg underground shook his head and said with great annoyance: "Since we received the news from the fourth master, our brothers have been preparing for it, but Mrs. Shen's grave was heavily guarded almost overnight, and even a fly couldn't fly over, let alone send things in." ”

Zhang Shaotian breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the stars in the sky.

As soon as he heard in the capital that Situ Jianren was going to transfer the spirit of his deceased original wife Shen Yongjie, he was taken aback, and immediately rushed from the capital to Jinling City, but it was still a step too late.

Shen Yongjie's tomb was tightly guarded, in addition to the officials of Jinling City, there were also bodyguards invited from Jianghu Tangkou, and the Ming Guards and Secret Guards who didn't know where they came from, they actually surrounded a small tomb tightly, and there was no leakage.

“…… Fourth Master? What to do? The man in black raised his head and looked at Zhang Shaotian with his eyes, waiting for him to make an idea.

Zhang Shaotian pondered for a long time and said, "Maybe it's providence." Fortunately, only the sister and brother came this time, and they might not open the coffin. We...... Let's wait and see what happens. ”

The man in black in front of the window answered, saluted and left.

……

Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei fasted for three days, and recited the Sutra of Death for their mothers in front of the Buddha for three days, and finally on the fourth day, it was time to move the souls of their mothers.

The sisters and brothers got up early in the morning, burned incense and bathed, washed clean from head to toe, and changed into a brand-new white middle single, white filial piety clothes, and wore sackcloth outside. Wearing linen and filial piety, following the clansmen of the Situ family. There are also drummers, spirit-bearers, and grave openers. came to Shen Yongjie's tomb.

Shen Yongjie passed away ten years ago and was buried in the ancestral grave of the Situ family.

The tomb is not big, it is a round dirt bag, and the grave is very clean, and there is not a single weed.

There is a small tree in front of the grave, which was planted by Situ Yingsleeve after Shen Yongjie's burial, and now it is like a pavilion.

Under the tree is a tombstone for Shen Yongjie.

"Situ Shen, born in Yongchang for 19 years. Died in the thirty-ninth year of Yongchang. Filial piety Situ Yingsleeve, filial son Situ Chenlei, stand. ”

They didn't even have the name of their father, Situ Jianren......

Situ Yingsleeve knelt in front of Shen Yongjie's grave, her eyes were cold, and she glanced coldly in the direction of the capital.

This time when she goes back, she will definitely not be able to tolerate the Zhang family anymore.

Mrs. Zhao stood behind the two children, her eyes wet, and listened to Mr. Yin Yang reciting a long memorial in front of Shen Yongjie's grave.

Finally, the word "...... Alas! Feast! "A long end.

Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei knelt down and kowtowed together, bowing deeply.

Mr. Yin and Yang, who was worshipping, burned the text in front of the grave and sprinkled tea on the ground in front of the grave. That's the end of the previous procedure.

Because the Situ family is also a famous family in Jinling City, I heard that the richest three rooms of the Situ family returned to Jinling City to move the spirit of their wife, and half of the people in the entire Jinling City came to see the excitement.

Then the Lord of the Qincha, Xie Dongli, is said to have been entrusted by Shen Xiang to come to watch the Shen family's spirit transfer ceremony. Therefore, the people from the other half of Jinling City also came.

The location of the ancestral grave of the Situ family is just a small hill, and it can't stand the crowding of so many people.

Therefore, Xie Dongli bothered the prefect of Jinling City to send a messenger to pull up a line under the mountain bag, and only relatives and friends of the Situ family and the Shen family could go up the mountain. Everyone else can only wait at the bottom of the mountain for news.

He also wore a dark arrow-sleeved robe today, with a silver-gray rhinoceros leather belt around his waist. Wearing a five-rank black official hat, hundreds of murderous Praetorian Guards stood behind him. Standing in the octagonal pavilion not far from Shen Yongjie's tomb, he quietly watched the spirit transfer ceremony opposite.

The first three days were sunny, but when it was officially moved today, the weather was overcast, like it was going to rain, but it was a breath of air, and it couldn't come down.

"It's auspicious! Grave up! Mr. Yin and Yang shouted and rang the gong in his hand.

This gong sounded like a clarion call, and the atmosphere in front of the tomb immediately became solemn.

Xie Dongli looked up at the sky, "It's not early, hurry up and move your spirit, maybe it will rain." ”

Situ Yingsleeve looked up, and saw that the dark cloud was drifting closer, so he nodded hurriedly, turned back to his family and said, "Let's start." ”

Situ Jianxing also nodded.

The grave opener invited by the Situ family wrapped his hands in a red cloth and dug up Shen Yongjie's tomb with a hoe.

Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei held their breath and watched as the layer of loess was lifted with a spade and thrown aside.

Gradually, Shen Yongjie's golden silk nanmu coffin was revealed.

Situ Yingsleeve couldn't stop crying.

The day of her mother's death Shen Yongjie is vivid, and she didn't expect that she would be able to see her mother again if she was a human being......

She still remembers that day, her mother's biological brother gave birth for a long time, and they all said that it was difficult to give birth, Xiao Lei's head was stuck for too long, and when he came out, he had no breath for a long time.

She threw herself on the side of the bed and kept calling "Mother!" Mother! The mother only glanced at the newborn Xiao Lei, and handed him into the hands of the four-year-old Ying Sleeve, and said, "Sleeve Sleeve, you have to take care of your younger brother ......" After speaking, she closed her eyes, fell back on the bed, and lost consciousness.

Then her father pushed open the door, rushed in, and ordered her and her brother to be carried out.

Soon after, her father came out and wept to the housekeeper, "...... Madame has passed away......"

This is the deepest memory of her mother and mother in her two lives.

That glance was the last one.

That sentence was also the last words of my mother.

Situ Ying burst into tears, knelt in front of his mother's coffin, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, I have taken good care of Xiao Lei." You see, he's so old......" said, pulled Situ Chenlei over, asked him to kneel with her, and said, "Xiao Lei, this is the mother's ......"

Situ Chenlei looked at his mother's coffin, kowtowed, and called out childishly, "Mother, Xiao Lei has come to see you." He said: "Mother, Xiao Lei will be very well-behaved and listen to his sister." Mother rest assured. ”

Mrs. Zhao thought of being gentle and benevolent. Shen Yongjie, the generous and modest third brother and sister, couldn't help but cry.

The Situ family present saw that the sister and brother now have a father and no father. I couldn't bear to cry along.

Fine rain began to float in the sky, as if they were also mourning Shen Yongjie's death at a young age.

Situ Yingsleeve wiped her tears. He took a deep breath and said, "Enlighten the spirit." ”

Their Situ family's spirit moving pomp was relatively large, and the tomb was opened, and the entire coffin was taken away and sent to the capital for burial, so as not to disturb the deceased.

Of course, this is also more expensive.

Generally, people have to open the coffin to pick up the bones, put them in a smaller box, and then send them to other places for burial.

Eight spirit bearers came over and took iron drills to open a crack at the bottom of the coffin. Then he walked over and shouted, "Get up!" Eight people worked together to lift the coffin from the outer coffin.

Just as he was about to leave, the person at the front suddenly staggered and tripped over a cluster of arrows on the ground.

But he was also a veteran, but his body was crooked, and he stood up straight.

Syllable!

But just as he was crooked, the lid of the coffin they were carrying slid to the ground. Fell diagonally!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

When the people of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom were buried, the coffin lids were nailed, how could they fall off?!

Zhang Shaotian, who was watching not far away, turned white in an instant, and he looked around. Convinced that Xie Donglian's eyes were firmly fixed on the coffin, he pulled the brim of his hat down and squeezed into the crowd. Slowly descended the mountain.

Situ Yingsleeve was also stunned, and she took a few steps closely. Coming to the coffin carried by the spirit bearer, he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

The coffin lid fell off. Inside, the glow of the sun flashed and disappeared, a sight that can only be seen in the world of a large number of jewels.

When everyone saw the situation inside the coffin, they all thought the same thing: Situ Sanye is worthy of being the No. 1 imperial merchant in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and the funeral goods for the original wife are really good......

From above, what you can see is a brocade quilt with gold wire inlaid with red treasure embroidered scriptures. The quilt is decorated with pearls and ruby sapphires the size of a longan.

Inside the coffin is a delicately carved pink tourmaline lotus crown, and below the corolla is a phoenix wearing a peony red gold pearl phoenix crown, also inlaid with various colors of red sapphires and emeralds. On the foot side is the jade lotus leaf, the jade is full of green and transparent, natural, and the tendons on the leaf surface are not carved, but born.

"Huh? Is there any fruit in it? Isn't it bad after all these years? Someone muttered softly.

"Cut, you really don't have a vision. So where is the real fruit? - Those are all fruits carved from gems and jade! Others dismissed him.

Situ Yingsleeve was even more shocked.

She didn't expect that her father would put so many treasures for her mother's funeral.

The pearls inside the entire coffin were simply piled up in the sea, just like the stones and gravel outside.

"Isn't that right?" The yin and yang gentleman muttered, twisting his goatee with his hand.

"May I ask this gentleman, what's wrong?" Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly asked.

She also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

The Mr. Yin and Yang pointed to the burial goods in the coffin and said: "This tomb must have been stolen, someone has opened the coffin, but none of these pearl treasures are buried inside, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Situ Yingsleeves woke up suddenly. - Yes! That's it!

The lid of the coffin could fall off with a slight bump, and it must have been pried open.

The person who pried the lid of the coffin didn't rob the tomb to steal the treasures that accompanied the burial, and for what?!

Situ Yingsleeve walked over step by step, and walked to his mother's coffin to take a closer look.

The contents of the coffin were still neatly stacked.

"Are you sure you haven't lost anything here?" Situ Yingsleeve asked Mr. Yin and Yang.

Mr. Yin and Yang nodded, "It's not a secret, I looked at these things and put them in at the beginning." Everything is placed in a particular position, so it is clear at a glance whether there is anything missing. ”

Since this Mr. Yin and Yang said that he didn't lose it, it should be that he didn't lose it.

Situ Yingsleeve pursed her lips, secretly wondering what the hell is going on?

At that moment, a small pebble flew into the air and hit the knee of the spirit lifter on the left side of the rearmost side.

The man screamed "oops", and as soon as his hand was released, the whole coffin fell to the ground diagonally.

The contents of the coffin only then began to roll with a clatter.

The lotus crown on the top of his head rolled down, and even the brocade quilt with gold wire inlaid with red treasure embroidered Jizo Sutra was lifted up!

Situ Yingsleeve took a closer look, and immediately gasped!

There's nothing in that quilt!

My mother was buried for ten years. Even if the flesh on the body is gone, the skeleton should still be there, right? Even the skeleton has been melted. You must have the clothes you wore when you were buried, right?

Because the brocade quilt of the gold silk inlaid with red treasure embroidered Jizo Sutra is still there, and it is not possible to dissolve only the clothes!

But inside this quilt. It was clean, not only did it have no skeleton, but it didn't even have clothes......

Situ Yingsleeve's face suddenly turned snow-white, her hands trembled, and she trembled and wanted to reach into the coffin.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Let Mr. Yin Yang see it, don't stick in it." ”

The Mr. Yin and Yang walked over, wrapped his hands in a red cloth, and carefully looked through the coffin. He also said in surprise: "No! The people here should have been removed! ”

"Really?" Situ Yingsleeve held his chest with his hand, feeling that he was about to breathe, "...... Who removed? ”

Who robbed tombs and robbed bones?!

"This ...... I don't know. Mr. Yin and Yang shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm not a fast catcher, I don't know what's going on." ”

This is a hint that someone robbed the tomb and stole Shen Yongjie's bones!

Situ Yingsleeve immediately looked back in the direction of Xie Donglian, and the expression on his face was inexplicable.

She knelt down in front of Xie Dongli with a thud. Crying silently, he said: "Please ask Lord Qincha to be the master of the people's daughter!" Find out this tomb robber who killed a thousand knives! ”

Xie Dongli stretched out his hand, but immediately retracted it and said, "You get up quickly." In this matter, this official must become the prefect of Jinling to investigate and deal with this case within a time limit! ”

……

The two sons and daughters of the third room of the Situ family moved the spirits of their mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen. only to find that the mausoleum was stolen and the bones were gone, all of a sudden it was like a wildfire. Spread in Jinling City.

Not only did the prefect offer a heavy reward, but the eldest lady of the Situ family's third room offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. As long as you can provide a little clue, you can get at least ten taels of silver!

This news made the people of Jinling City even more crazy.

A lot of people are eager to dig into the ground. Find the bones of Mrs. Shen in Situ Sanfang!

And in the small farm not far from the ancestral tomb of the Situ family, a chubby middle-aged woman knelt in front of Zhang Shaotian and cried: "Fourth master, please, tell the news that our eldest lady and her mother are still alive......"

Zhang Shaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't I want to say it?" But for so many years, she has been unconscious, like this, what is the difference between being alive and dead? ”

His mind went back to that frantic night ten years ago.

At that time, the family thought that he had been wandering in the Western Regions all those years, but in fact he spent most of his time in Jiangnan......

He heard that Shen Yongjie died in childbirth, and the depression in his chest finally broke out after many years.

He liked this girl from the Shen family, and he liked it for many years, but she didn't know that there was a person who loved her so deeply......

Before he could propose, she was married to Jiangnan by his father and married to a small businessman.

He was in pain uncontrollably, but he could still hold on to the last trace of the bottom line and did not disturb the peaceful days after her marriage.

Until he found out that she was not doing well, she gave birth to two children, but she died at the age of twenty.

He lingered in front of Situ's house for several days, waiting until the day she was buried.

As soon as the Situ family left, he began to dig graves regardless of it.

If you can't be together when you live, you have to die with her when you die!

He had planned to die with her, but when he pried open the lid of her coffin, grabbed her wrist, and tried to carry her on his back, he found that she still had a pulse!

He was not at all afraid, even ecstatic!

Whether she's a human or a ghost, he's going to be with her!

He carried her out of the coffin, and put the contents back in their original places, only then he heard the sound of a rooster crowing outside, and it was almost dawn, and he was afraid of being seen, so he didn't have time to nail the lid of the coffin, but just aimed it at the close, and then covered the earth back.

He didn't take Shen Yongjie very far, but put it in a small farm not far from the ancestral tomb of the Situ family.

Shen Yongjie didn't know what kind of poison she had been in, which kept her unconscious, and she looked like she was dead.

If it weren't for Zhang Shaotian's medical theory, Shen Yongjie would not have escaped death at all!

Later, Shen Yongjie's maids and mothers-in-law brought from the capital were successively sent out by Situ Jianren and Zhang, and Zhang Shaotian quietly found Shen Yongjie's nurse to come over and told her that she should take care of Shen Yongjie here.

When the nurse knew that Situ Jianren had buried Shen Yongjie alive, she almost fainted from crying!

She knew that Miss couldn't go back like this, because her uncle wanted Miss's life! If you go back like this, you will only be killed by him again.

And Zhang Shaotian did not allow her to ask the Shen family in the capital for help.

She was also grateful to Zhang Shaotian for saving her young lady, so she lived here with peace of mind, and took care of Shen Yongjie who was unconscious wholeheartedly, and took care of her for ten years.

If Shen Yongjie was still unconscious, she would not have other thoughts.

But now it's different.

Recently, I don't know if the elixir that Zhang Shaotian got back from the Western Regions two years ago has worked, or because of the passage of time, the toxicity of the poison has weakened.

In short, after Shen Yongjie vomited two mouthfuls of black blood a few days ago, she seemed to be conscious, and her fingers could move frequently.

"Fourth Master Zhang, your kindness, I will make it clear to the eldest lady. Besides, our wife is not ignorant, anyway, would you let our wife meet her son and daughter? The nurse begged bitterly.

Zhang Shaotian hurried back this time, originally planning to stuff another skeleton into the coffin, so as not to be discovered that there was something abnormal inside the coffin.

Unexpectedly, someone seemed to take the first step and tightly surrounded the tomb, and he couldn't do anything at all.

Zhang Shaotian took a deep look at Shen Yongjie, who was lying motionless on the bed, thin as a skeleton, and finally made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to your eldest lady." However, you don't have to say that I saved Mrs. Shen. It was a passer-by who saved the ......," he said, turning and leaving the small farm.

The next day, Shen Yongjie's nurse went straight to the Situ family's mansion in Jinling City and asked to see Situ Yingsleeve.
