Chapter 639: Haunted (II)
"Oh no! Haunted!"
The knocker outside the inn didn't wait for the men to pull them away, and then rushed in by himself, repeating the words "haunted" in his mouth.
The guy who opened the door didn't expect the people outside to rush in like this, and he was hit on the door of his head by the door panel, screamed in pain, and then fell to the ground with his head in his hands.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, the young man suddenly felt a coldness under his chin, and when he opened his eyes with the pain in his head, he saw a long sword pressing on his neck.
The young man was so frightened that he trembled, and then raised his head to look at the person, it was the guards who escorted the funeral procession who came to stay in the post station today, and then subconsciously said with a bitter face, "Master Jun spares his life." ”
At the same time, the man found that the knocker who had pushed the door in and knocked him down had also been pressed to his throat with a sharp sword, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to shout and scream any more, but swallowed the fear mixed with a mouthful of spit.
Yang Huairen stood up, glanced at the subordinate next to him, motioned for the guard to close the door, and then said to the two of them with a smile, "Don't shout, what's going on, let's hear it." ”
Then he motioned for the two men to remove the swords against the necks of the men and the knocker, and brought over a cup of tea that had been cooled.
The guy didn't know what was going on, but he just timidly moved back to the side, not daring to say anything.
And the one who knocked on the door was wearing a soap-colored linen shirt, and at a glance he knew that he was a public man in the yamen.
The soapy little official was flattered and took the cup of tea, lowered his head and raised his eyes to look at the fierce and vicious people around him, and found that Yang Huairen in front of him was the most kind, and handed him a sip of tea, so he hurriedly swallowed a sip of tea and slowly spoke.
"Tell the county officials that Xiao Di is the sword and pen official in the yamen, and it is the little ones who are on duty in the yamen's signing room tonight.
When the county lord was leaving, he instructed the little bottoms, saying that the people who came from Tokyo today were doing a big thing, and they must not be negligent, so that the little bottoms and a few fast hands opened their eyes wide at night, but don't let the thieves and dogs make trouble in the middle of the night and disturb the rest of the county officials. ”
Yang Huairen frowned, and said in his heart, who has the time to listen to you say this, it's really long-winded, and he didn't say anything serious for a long time.
"Okay, okay, I know all this, you just said that you came to knock on the door of the post house in a hurry, and you shouted 'haunted', what the hell is going on?"
"Oh, oh."
The soap-clothed little official hurriedly nodded his head several times as if a chicken pecked rice, "It was nothing, but the little bottoms were so bored that they began to doze off, and suddenly the servant of the mortuary shouted 'haunted' and rushed to the yamen." ”
"The work of the mortuary?"
"Uh-huh. Yes, it's our county mortuary's work, and I used to think that the courage to do it was greater than the cooking cake, who would have guessed that they were like this, and they were also afraid of ghosts. ”
"Get down to business!"
Yang Huairen found that this little official spoke clearly, but he was not concise and clear, and he always unconsciously talked away from the original topic.
"Oh," the soapy little man agreed embarrassedly, and continued, "he shouted that it was haunted, and frightened everyone, and upon inquiry, he said that there was a corpse in the mortuary."
Everyone has heard of this kind of corpse, but no one has really seen it with their own eyes, and the old man said that the corpse of a woman who was collected only before yesterday had wings and flew away!!
A few of our little officials on duty were also very timid, and when they heard him say this, they were so frightened that they began to tremble, but Liu, the head catcher of the county's fast shift, was very bold, and scolded and urged everyone to follow him to the mortuary to inspect it.
Xiao Di thought about it later, this old man may be dizzy with old eyes, there are already a lot of corpses in the mortuary, he looked away, and he imagined, it is also very possible, how can there be so many bizarre things for him to encounter?
Unexpectedly, more than 20 of us walked to the place to take a look, although we didn't see the scene where the corpse of the old man said could fly, but the body of a woman who had just been collected by the money was really missing......
Yang Huairen seemed to understand something after hearing it, but he felt that there were some subtleties in the matter that were still not so easy to understand.
A corpse disappeared in the mortuary of Zhongmu County, and an old servant was allowed to see it with his own eyes, Yang Huairen didn't have to think about it, he could guess that this was definitely done by Gonggong Ye or his cronies.
Stealing the corpse is to prepare for the next plan of "stealing beams and changing pillars".
The stolen woman's body, Father-in-law Ye dressed her up as the Empress Dowager Gao, then changed into the clothes of the Empress Dowager Gao, and put it in the coffin to replace the real Empress Dowager Gao, which sounds like this.
But there is one thing that Yang Huairen finds very strange. Gonggong Ye had already planned to carry out his plan when the funeral procession stayed at the Zhongmu County Post House for the night, stealing a corpse similar to the body of the Empress Dowager Gao from the nearest place, and then going to carry out his plan, which also sounded reasonable.
The only thing that Yang Huairen can't understand is why this matter is not carried out secretly, instead of looking for an ownerless corpse, or directly stealing the body of a woman who has just been buried from the cemetery, but going to the mortuary of the county government to steal it?
It is absolutely impossible to go to the county mortuary to steal the corpse without being discovered, although with the county government's quick arrest and the ability of the small officials, it will never find out who stole the corpse, and what to do if the corpse is stolen.
But Grandpa Ye didn't use a way that was more difficult to be discovered, but a way that was easy to be noticed and confused about, what was his purpose?
Yang Huairen thought about it more carefully, Gonggong Ye would not be so careless, could it be that his subordinates were negligent for a while and did not act according to Gonggong Ye's original instructions for the sake of convenience?
It is unlikely, Ye Gonggong is notoriously ruthless, and if he can become a close confidant of his subordinates, he must have a shadow of him in terms of personality, and they will not be so stupid to do this kind of thing that exposes their plans.
There is only one explanation left, that is, in Ye Gonggong's plan, he deliberately wanted to steal a corpse in the county mortuary in Zhongmu County, and deliberately wanted to be discovered, so the so-called "haunted" happened.
When Yang Huairen led the funeral procession of the Empress Dowager Gao to Zhongmu County, he was resting at the official post of the official mansion......
Yang Huairen suddenly woke up, and a bone-chilling chill invaded every pore in his body, and his teeth trembled unconsciously.
"Father-in-law Ye, you old bastard, you are so ruthless......" 21010
