Chapter 260: The Cellar

In the end, Nie Shuyao glanced at Liu Zhutou and ordered, "Did you bring tools?" It's going to dig up the earth. ”

Liu Zhutou glanced at the two black-clothed men fearfully, and said, "Bring it." ”

The four of them took out a shovel from behind them, as if they had been prepared.

And Nie Shuyao glanced at Zhu Hong again, "Uncle Zhu already knew. ”

Zhu Hong smiled bitterly: "I don't know. It's just that someone confessed early enough. ”

And someone in his mouth still closes his eyes and recuperates.

This made Nie Shuyao a little uncertain in his heart, but he still pointed to the problematic slate and said, "Just this newly paved slate, dig it for me!" ”

Liu Zhutou and the four of them began to open those stone slabs, the four of them were found by the man in black, and he didn't know how the man in black knew that the four of them were more compatible. But this is not the time to complain, and they don't want to try again.

Lifting the slate really confirmed Nie Shuyao's guess, and everyone's expressions were different, but the people who followed Nie Shuyao understood it one after another.

Is the turf under the slate intact or green? There is no grass in the middle like the perennial stone slab, and the grass on the sides is yellow.

At this time, Nie Shuyao explained: "The land here was moved from elsewhere. Prove that there is something special here, and you don't want to be discovered. Liu Zhutou, after you have lifted all the slates, lift the turf lightly first, let's see what is in it. ”

Ji Lin still closed one eye and said, "You can't explain to the county master when you do this." ”

In a word, Liu Zhutou and the others stopped moving their hoes and looked at Nie Shuyao helplessly.

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Dig! If something like this happens, whether Liu Ruyuan's official position can be kept is still two words. ”

In fact, she is purely nonsense, let Liu Zhutou and others finish the work first.

As soon as Liu Zhutou gritted his teeth, he was the first to start work again.

Soon, all the slates were lifted. Nie Shuyao asked them to lift a few more pieces, and the dirt under the stone slab at the very edge was in stark contrast to the dirt in the middle.

"Did you see that? It's clear at a glance that there's a difference! Go on. Nie Shuyao said again.

After Liu Zhutou and the others lifted the thin turf, they saw a large pool of dark brown soil. In particular, the smell is fishy, and anyone who is familiar with this smell knows that it is bloody.

Nie Shuyao explained again: "You should know what this is, right? ”

She glanced at Pang Yujuan, who was pale, and reminded, "Don't forget the silver ticket." ”

Then she glanced at Ji Lin, who was where the old god was, and had a bad feeling in her heart, could she have guessed wrong?

This bluestone road is not narrow enough for a four-wheeled carriage; There are also quite a few stone slabs that have been lifted, about six or seven meters long. She walked around the corner, eventually landing on the dark brown edge, where the dirt looked relatively new.

"Liu Zhutou, dig here."

The four trappers laboriously dug down, but a quarter of an hour had passed, and there was still no trace of the cellar.

For this reason, Nie Shuyao was a little anxious, and once again recalled the map of the courtyard here.

The tomb in the rose garden is where Zheng Ruoyun's former boudoir is located, and the bluestone road is the road leading from the backyard to the front yard, but this road originally led straight to guò, but now it was cut off by Ji Lin in the middle and changed the direction.

On the edge of the bluestone road, not far from the boudoir, there is a small kitchen, and it stands to reason that there is most likely a cellar on the side of the kitchen, and some vegetables that are not tolerant can be placed there.

"Girl, do you still want to dig?" Liu Zhutou: They have already dug a deep pit.

Nie Shuyao said: "Stop first." ”

Then he glanced at Ji Lin and found that he was still the same indifferent look. Nie Shuyao was already sure that there was no cellar here, and it would be a waste of time to dig any further.

And Pang Yujuan began to laugh again, as if she had forgotten the fear just now, "I said, are your silver tickets ready?" ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at her and said, "I don't have to prepare." ”

She took out the map drawn by Zhu Hong according to her memory from her sleeve pocket, and walked slowly in the bluestone alley, I have to say that Ji Lin is very smart, and he deserves to be the head of the four great talents in the past.

Nie Tianxi quickly followed and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Nie Shuyao said: "Yes, it's a little wrong. Where do you think the kilns of large families will be built? Ice can be hidden in the kiln, and some fruits and vegetables can also be put in. ”

Nie Tianxi thought for a while and said, "If it is to hide ice, it must be built in the shade." ”

"yes, I was negligent." Nie Shuyao had a flash of spirit in her mind, she was a little preconceived, she always thought that there was a kiln under the bluestone slab, but she didn't expect Ji Lin to be so smart.

But then he thought, since there was no cellar here, why did he spend so much effort to cover up the first scene? Doing so is like exposing yourself in the eyes of smart people.

Looking at the map again, if it is in the shade, it should be on the north side of the bluestone road, that is, on their left-hand side. Touching her left hand, which was not quite good, her wrinkled again.

Since there is a small kitchen, there should be a large kitchen, she walked a few steps into the rose forest, and smelled a special smell.

It didn't take long to find the pile of manure in the shade, and the flies were still buzzing on the manure.

"Liu Zhutou, this way."

It's actually not far from there, and everyone is a quick walk away. It's just that Ji Lin, the owner of this place, didn't move.

Nie Shuyao knew that she might have found a place, and pointed to the obviously unenergetic wild chrysanthemum and said, "Dig underneath." ”

Liu Zhutou looked at her in embarrassment, and then at the manure pile over there, they were not wearing masks, and they were sweating and working.

Nie Shuyao took out four masks and gave them them, and instructed, "No matter how hot it is, don't take it off." ”

Then he glanced at Zhu Hong, and he didn't know when he also put on a mask, and when he saw Feng Wuya beside him, he understood, or the apprentice was facing the master.

As a result, Ji Lin was the only one who didn't wear a mask, and he didn't come over.

Liu Zhutou and his companions continued to dig, but this time they obviously did not waste their efforts, and after digging about a foot deep, they came across a wooden plank.

"Sure enough, clear the dirt out of this side first, and then open the plank." Nie Shuyao commanded.

When I looked up, Ji Lin was gone.

But this does not mean that Nie Shuyao will give up exploring, when the wooden planks that cover the cellar are completely displayed in front of people, Nie Shuyao takes everyone away from them, leaving only Liu Zhutou to uncover the cellar.

Liu Zhutou also probably understood what would be in it, because the unpleasant smell was even heavier, and he held his breath when he saw that everyone was far away.

"Wooh!" The heavy planks opened, and a foul smell nearly smoked him.

Liu Zhutou left there in a hurry and ran to everyone's side, the sweat beads on his face flowing down like money.

"This, this is ......?"

"Well, I guess it's going to be when the smell is a little less and then go down." Nie Shuyao didn't say anything, but everyone understood what they were looking for here.

At this moment, Pang Yujuan's face became ugly again, she lost again, it was one thousand taels, and she brought two thousand taels of silver when she went out. This is still hidden from Steward Pang, if Steward Pang goes back to Beijing to talk to his father, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to return to the capital for a while.

She began to regret it, why did she gamble a lot of money? I regret that the stakes are big, but I don't regret this competition, I only complain that Liu Ruyuan didn't handle this matter properly, and I don't have to worry about everything!

Finally got a guard who was easy to use, and she didn't want to die for two untouchables in vain. Just stay here and see what they do.

Thinking of this, she snorted coldly: "What's inside isn't necessarily enough, but don't think about it so simply." ”

As the sun rises, so does the temperature. There are no tall trees to shade this side of Bluestone Lane, and with the red sun overhead, everyone feels a little flustered.

The stench of the cellar is also very sad, I want to close my mouth and hold my breath, who has the heart to talk about it.

Therefore, as soon as Pang Yujuan said this, everyone's eyes looked at her in unison.

Pang Yujuan was uncomfortable by this gaze, and said stiffly: "What are you doing?" Am I not right? ”

Then, everyone turned away from looking at her, but there was only one comment in their hearts about her, "Long hair, short knowledge!" ”

Nie Shuyao explained softly: "Miss Huge hasn't seen a corpse, has she? Of course you haven't smelled corpses, have you? ”

Pang Yujuan's face turned red when she said it, she also knew that reasoning had to be learned well, and she had to understand this aspect, but she was both afraid and felt that this was something that a slut did, she was a dignified lady, as long as she reasoned properly.

"Humph!" Pang Yujuan, who couldn't refute it, had no choice but to end the topic with a cold snort.

But Nie Shuyao still hasn't stopped explaining, "It is said that the time of death of those two was four days ago in the evening. And now the weather is both humid and hot, and even in the cellar, it is easy to spoil. Know what corruption is? ”

This is another new term, everyone was attracted by her explanation and focused their eyes on her, even Pang Yujuan.

Nie Shuyao asked and answered: "Corruption is mold and deterioration. After four days of death, a person may become unrecognizable, which is quite terrifying, and the putrefactive gas will first make the corpse's abdomen enlarge, and slowly the whole corpse will be fat, and there will be an unpleasant smell, which is called 'corpse odor'.

There are also blisters on the body, like blisters like burns, but there is a foul-smelling corpse water inside. That's how the smell comes from, and you have to pay attention to these things, it's not fun to get on them. There are also green spots and brown spots on the corpses, which are very scary. ”

Having said all this, I want Liu Zhutou and the others not to be frightened when they go down, as for how many corpses are in this cellar, it doesn't matter much, and there is no need for an autopsy, because it is known who the murderer is.

Sure enough, when Nie Shuyao finished saying this, the faces of Liu Zhutou and his party were particularly ugly.

Liu Zhutou asked reluctantly: "This, should we go down?" ”

Nie Shuyao asked innocently, "Do you want me to go down?" ”

Liu Zhutou looked at Nie Shuyao's clothes, how could such a delicate girl do such a thing. I had to look at my companions helplessly.

After almost half an hour, Nie Shuyao asked Liu Zhutou to take a fire fold and throw it down, looking from the cellar mouth, the fire fold was extinguished after a long time.

Nie Shuyao said: "Liu Zhutou wears a mask and goes down." Here are a few pairs of gloves, and you're all wearing them. ”R1152
