Chapter Ninety-Seven: Open the Coffin and See the Master

A few months have passed, and when the coffin was opened again, as soon as the coffin was dug up, an indescribable damp smell rushed to the face, and everyone present covered their mouths and noses. A few more young and strong laborers opened the coffin, and they were still dismantling it, Xu Yuan asked, "Why is your wife Yang buried here alone?" Where's your ancestral grave? ”

Zhang Jianxiang said embarrassedly: "My lord Mingjian, my mother-in-law died horizontally, according to convention, people who died horizontally cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, and the family house will be uneasy." "Who taught you all these things?" You're a tofu seller, and you still have time to study these truths? Zhang Jianxiang smiled, honest and cunning: "My lord, something like this happened in my family, I had a nightmare for a month, and I couldn't forget it for a long time, so I invited some gentlemen to come and see, and the gentleman said that the house was restless." ”

Talking about thinking about her, Xu Yuan thought in his heart, if there was something to leave her alone on the hillside, this is really hypocritical. The coffin was opened, and the female corpse inside had rotted into shape, and a strong corpse stench floated in the air, and several sergeants below had vomited.

The curious babies above also stretched out their heads to take a look, good guys, the original corpse part has been glued to the coffin, the facial features and body have become unrecognizable, and there are all kinds of insects crawling on the black rotten meat... Everyone wanted to throw up. Xu Yuan pulled the work aside, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "This, can you still watch it?" ”

He touched the mustache on his mouth, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, too much time has passed, and a lot of evidence is actually difficult to distinguish, or you can bring the body back to the yamen first, and I will know by taking a look." Xu Yuan frowned, do you want to take it back? It's too much of a test. "Can't you do an autopsy here?"

The mustache spread his hands and said helplessly: "My lord, this autopsy is a delicate job, not that it can be done for a while like writing." It has to touch the bones and look at the flesh and skin, and this slow work can produce fine work..."Xu Yuan nodded, "Then it's up to you, do you want a coffin?" ”

"Get up, get up and throw it away, it's not a good sign that an empty coffin is buried in the ground." He turned around to leave, Xu Yuan smiled and grabbed him: "Mr. seems to be an expert in this area, with you in charge, Xu will have peace of mind, but since they are all glued together, don't take it off, I will take you to the yamen together." ”

Pulling out the coffin, Xu Yuan found that the four corners of the coffin were wrapped with iron sheets, one winter Xu Yuan bought a thin coffin for Wei Ming to bury his deceased wife, he recognized it, and ordinary coffins were not wrapped with iron sheets. He asked, "Look at this coffin, why is it covered with iron sheets, what is it for?" ”

"Ah, this master said that it was to prevent my mother-in-law's yin qi from leaking out, and then the corpse was transformed." Xu Yuan was a little annoyed: "Why can the iron sheet prevent the corpse from changing?" This is a bit unreliable, isn't it? Why is everything said by a master, is the master you are talking about a person? "Yes, my lord, he said that my mother-in-law was bound alive and lit by someone, and she was very resentful, so she had to be like this." "Who is he?" "He is the owner of the coffin shop, Qian Xiangqiang." Xu Yuan nodded, and he said, "Your family's rituals were also done by this person, and the coffin was also bought at their house?" Zhang Jianxiang nodded, Xu Yuan thought about it, and said to Liqiu: "Maybe we should visit this master." ”

said that he was a master, but he was born with an obscene image. Xu Yuan walked into the coffin shop with Liqiu, and the boss hurried over to Zhang Luo, and his enthusiasm made people a little uncomfortable. "Both, buy a coffin, oh, you young man is so spiritual. Your dad is also good, looking young. Liqiu didn't dare to laugh, he peeked at Xu Yuan, but saw that his face was not quite right, and quickly stopped smiling.

"We've been here for a few years, and there's always something going on at home these days, and I heard that you can see feng shui, didn't you come here to ask for advice?" Qian Xiangqiang looked at the two of them, they were dressed differently from ordinary people, they must be rich people, and they were able to slaughter a sum this time. So he pretended to be embarrassed: "But I've been resting for the past few days, and it's hard to do it." ”

"Sir, as long as you are willing to give my child what to do, I can do whatever it takes." Xu Yuan said sincerely, and the boss twisted his finger at him: "Then it depends on whether you are sincere, how sincere you are?" Xu Yuan understood and handed over the silver ticket, at this time he really looked like an old father who was worried about his children.

The boss took a large bag of strange things, followed the two out of the door, and when he saw that there was a carriage waiting outside, he hurriedly blew up: "I see, Xu Yuanwai, your child is entangled in dirty things, let me ask you, do you usually sleep badly?" Liqiu could only nod and smile perfunctorily, thinking that this was really an old liar.

Coaxed him to the place in a good voice, Qian Xiangqiang got out of the carriage and found that it was the yamen, and he hurriedly asked: "Master Waiwai, what do you mean by this?" Didn't you say look at Feng Shui? Xu Yuannunu mouthed, "It's inside, there are particularly beautiful scenery waiting for you." As soon as he pushed, Qian Xiangqiang rolled down the carriage, and the soldier grabbed him, and walked to the inside of the yamen on the left and right.

Qian Xiangqiang was as frightened as mud, unable to move at all, and let the soldiers support him. Xu Yuan looked at Liqiu: "Hang him, ignore him for now, and wait for the other side to come out." Liqiu nodded, took Qian Xiangqiang to the cell, and Xu Yuan turned around and walked towards the place where the autopsy was performed.

"Your Excellency, you're here." Xu Yuan saw that he was full of all kinds of knives here, and there was no place for him to sit, so he asked with an embarrassed smile: "When will you come out?" "Urging urging, knowing urging. He was a little angry, and he said in a low voice in a dialect: "I don't know! Don't you get in the way, do you know how much effort I put into bringing that broken coffin? If you don't even give anyone help, you know that you are urging, and the current officials are really getting more and more searching! ”

Xu Yuan touched his nose and came out of ashes, and saw Liqiu, who had just placed the prisoner. "How's that, my lord, what do you say?" "Go see for yourself, he has a very good temper and a very kind person, you said in the past that I asked you to go, and he must have welcomed you warmly." Liqiu walked into the autopsy room suspiciously, and within a moment he heard the sound of vomiting coming out of the door.

After two days and two nights of autopsy, the results finally came out, Xu Yuan patted Liqiu on the shoulder: "Let's come to Baoding this time, there are not enough personnel, you have suffered." "Liqiu directly gave him a roll of the eyes, and the leader's comfort afterwards is really hypocritical." Prepare to prepare, let's interrogate Qian Xiangqiang. ”
