Chapter 123: Black Jokes
"If you don't want your sister to be wiped out at this moment, you just go and see it!" Cao Liang said loudly.
The reason why Xiahou Hui's corpse is not rotten is entirely because it is kept in the coffin of Jin Si Nanmu, because of the special effect of Jin Si Nanmu, which can effectively isolate the air, moisture, embalming and bacteria, so Xiahou Hui's body can be intact.
Now that the corpse is exposed to the air, it won't take long for it to rot, if Xiahou Xuan touches it with his hands, his hands are covered with bacteria, once the corpse is contaminated, I am afraid it can only accelerate the decay.
Now if you want to bring down Sima Shi, Xiahou Hui, who still has a smile on his face, is the most powerful ironclad evidence, and if Xiahou Hui's body is decomposed beyond recognition, the credibility of the evidence will be greatly reduced.
Xiahou Xuan also calmed down, he was so out of shape because he never dreamed that he would be able to see his sister's face again after six years, Cao Liang's reminder made him realize that his sister was actually no longer alive, what he should do is not to remember the past, but how to avenge his sister.
"What now? Is it to pull the coffin back to Luoyang and confront Sima Shi? ”
Cao Liang shook his head and said: "This is not in a hurry, there are still a few days before Sima Shi's wedding day, I'm afraid he would never have dreamed that we have found the body of his ex-wife who was poisoned by him, and now what we have to do is to restore this place to its original appearance, anyway, this place is very remote, and few people come." Then, we went back to Luoyang and gave Sima Shi a generous gift on his wedding day. ”
The corners of Xiahou Xuan's mouth also had a cold smile, this gift was enough for Sima Shi to "surprise".
"Then what should he do, kill and extinguish it." Xiahou Xuan pointed at He Wudao.
He Wu immediately knelt down and kowtowed again and again begging for mercy, he really didn't want to die.
Cao Liang said lightly: "There is no need to kill him, although we have physical evidence now, there is one less witness, and this person can be used as a witness, so that Sima Shi is indefensible." ”
He Wu is the grave keeper, and it is up to him to prove that the body was indeed dug up from the ancestral cemetery of the Sima family, which is very suitable, in short, the more sufficient the evidence, the less likely it is that Sima Shi will overturn the case.
Even if someone finds out that He Wu is missing, they will not suspect him, anyway, it is not a few days before Sima Shi's wedding, and Wen County will definitely not report the disappearance of a small grave keeper to Luoyang, and when they look around, the situation in Luoyang is almost decided.
The wooden coffin of Jin Si Nan is quite heavy, this time Xiahou Xuan came to Wen County, knowing that he had to do hard work, so almost all the house slaves he brought were strong men with big shoulders and round waists, Rao was so, and more than a dozen people also took the effort to carry the Jin Si Nan wooden coffin to the carriage, all of them were so tired that they foamed at the mouth and their eyes were white.
Golden silk Nanmu is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, its value and texture is proportional, the more beautiful and rare the grain, the higher its value, the ordinary golden silk Nanmu only has the gold silk pattern, and the best golden silk Nanmu has a special texture, such as the royal special dragon lin pattern, gentian pattern.
The pattern of this golden silk nan wooden coffin is called the golden jade full hall pattern, which is also one of the best and is very valuable.
The tomb keeper He Wu was like seeing a ghost, and remembered that when he was buried, it was obviously an ordinary willow coffin, but when it was unearthed, it became a rare golden silk nan coffin, which was really a strange thing.
In fact, Cao Liang knew that in order to hide people's eyes, Sima Shi still took a lot of effort to bury Xiahou Hui, and wrapped a layer of willow skin on the outside of the golden silk nan wooden coffin, no matter who saw it, it was just a willow coffin, but it was a little thicker than an ordinary coffin.
After being buried for several years, the willow wood on the outside has long been decayed, so now what has been dug up is only the golden silk nanmu coffin.
Cao Liang secretly sneered, although Sima Shi dropped Xiahou Hui's body, he still wanted to be buried with Xiahou Hui a hundred years later, so he used the golden silk nan wooden coffin to place Xiahou Hui's body, and temporarily buried it on the periphery of the ancestral tomb, in a pile of ownerless graves. By the time Sima Shi dies in the future, it is estimated that the dust has already settled, and if the coffin of Xiahou Hui is dug up to be buried with him, no one will pursue anything.
The people of the Sima family are really calculating, and they have been extremely cautious, but they have exhausted their calculations, and they have calculated everything, but they did not expect that Xiahou Hui's body did not decompose, leaving such a big handle for Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan.
Originally, Cao Liang was just trying to find Xiahou Hui's bones and judge whether she was poisoned and died from the bones.
But even if Xiahou Hui's bones are really found, the evidence is pale, after all, Cao Liang can't prove that this skeleton is Xiahou Hui's, and the Sima family still has room for quibble.
And now what is found is Xiahou Hui's body, just as Xiahou Hui was intact when he first died, this is ironclad evidence, no matter how much Sima Shi quibbles, he can't escape his guilt.
And this body was preserved by Sima Shi with great painstaking efforts.
It's a very satirical black joke.
After placing the wooden coffin on the carriage, the house slaves restored the tomb soil to its original state, which looked not much different from the untouched one, and it was impossible to distinguish it without looking carefully.
Cao Liang is actually not too worried about revealing any horses' feet, the cemetery of the Sima family is relatively remote, and few people usually come, even if someone finds that the tomb has been dug up, they will only suspect the head of the tomb robber, and will not suspect that there is any other reason.
The tomb where Xiahou Hui was really buried, except for Sima Shi, I am afraid that very few people knew that the coffin of a maidservant girl was missing, and it is estimated that they did not care about its whereabouts.
Cao Liang took the tomb keeper He Wu away this time, which is estimated to make the people of Sima's hometown even more confused, they would not have thought that He Wu, who was so poor, would become the target of the kidnapping, they would only suspect that He Wu might have escaped by himself.
In this way, the people of Sima's hometown in Wenxian County will at most look around for He Wu nearby, even if they can't find it, it doesn't matter, it's just a lowly subordinate, his disappearance will not attract anyone's attention, and no one will notify Sima Yi in Luoyang.
Now that the Sima family is probably preparing for Sima Shi's wedding, there is no time to take care of other things, this time Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan secretly returned to Beijing, and what they brought to the Sima family must be an unexpected "surprise gift".
However, after this gift was taken out, it was definitely a surprise to the Sima family.
