Hong Liang is not as free as Lin Fan and Chen Laosan, but on this good day with a clear sky, he has to deal with a pile of ruins and corpses.

Although the Ministry of Industry now lacks Master Shangshu, the work that should be done must continue, Hong Liang is a member of the Supervision Department, and things like dealing with the ruins of the palace in the early stage are often handled by him.

Standing in front of the black ruins, looking at the charred and blackened corpses mixed with black charred ash, Hong Liang wanted to gag, he had never been a superintendent for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had done so.

The twenty people under his command are looking for corpses, these corpses are not disposed of first, they will soon decompose, and then the evil anger will be overwhelming, affecting the surrounding people, then the supervision department will be mainly responsible, Yin Langzhong has issued a death order, and all the corpses must be disposed of today.

Don't dare to slack off, a family of five still has to rely on this bowl of court rice to make a living.

kicked away a section of black wood that had not yet been burned, startled the flies on the corpse under the black wood, the flies flew up and whined around, it seemed that they were very reluctant to taste the carrion, looking at the corpses that had been somewhat decomposed, looking at the flies that were whining around, Hong Liang suddenly felt irritable, and he flicked his sleeves hard to barely drive the flies away.

I couldn't see the corpse clearly, and I didn't know who this corpse belonged to in the palace, a gust of wind blew, bringing a strong stench, so that Hong Liang had to cover his nose and walk away quickly, if it wasn't for the strong support, I was afraid that he would have to vomit out the stomach gallbladder at this moment.

It wasn't until he felt more comfortable that Hong Liang continued to wander, his feet stepped on a charred and burned wooden board, and suddenly a large group of flies flew up beside him, Hong Liang waved his sleeves to drive the flies away, and looked at the place where the flies were startled, only to see a corpse crawling with a lot of worms.

Hong Liang finally couldn't support it, and with a whoop, he vomited out the undigested things in his stomach, and vomited while running out, until he ran out of the ruins, breathed fresh air, rinsed a few sips of water, and drank a few sips, and the feeling of nausea eased slightly.

Hong Liang didn't dare to wander around the ruins again, and sat weakly under the makeshift shed and waited, and when the sun turned and shone into the shed, his deputy ran in from the ruins, and took a few breaths before starting to report the results.

"Report to your lordship, a total of thirteen corpses were cleared, seven of them were scattered everywhere, all without accessories, the subordinates thought they were from the palace, and the other six corpses gathered together, and they all had more expensive accessories, presumably Wang Renshou and his family, from the fact that their hands were still clasped, they must have held each other together before they died.

These corpses have been cleared out and are being transported to Dali Temple, my lord, what else do you command? ”

Hong Liang took out a list from the household department from his arms, looked at the list, and after listening to the deputy's report, his eyebrows were never relaxed, this is the list of all the registered personnel in the palace counted by the household department, which records that there are twenty people in the palace, excluding the next people, there are twenty people in Wang Renshou's close relatives alone, but only six corpses have been found, so where did the others go?

Yin Langzhong asked himself to clean up the corpse and count the number of people at the same time, Hong Liang knew that this was the emperor's will, he wanted to know if there were any fish that slipped through the net, and if there were really fish that slipped through the net, they needed to be sent to Dali Temple for autopsy to determine what kind of fish they were missing.

"Are you sure that there are only six corpses of Wang Renshou's close relatives? Can you find the whole palace? ”

"Back to my lord, I have searched everywhere, there are only thirteen in total, and now the waste scorched wood is being removed, and no other bodies have been found."

Hong Liang knocked on the table worriedly, the sound of the dada could not make him quiet, only made him more anxious, now the number of corpses and the number of household statistics do not match, the reason for this must be investigated, Hong Liang does not think that the data counted by the household department will be wrong, he does not think that someone stole the corpse overnight, the only possibility is that not everyone in the Wang family ****!

But this possibility needs to be further investigated, only to clear out all the ruins of the palace, including dust, etc., if the body is not found at that time, it can prove that the palace is not completely extinct, so that the body can be sent to Dali Temple in a fair and honest manner, so as not to leak the net and have to perform the autopsy, if the book goes to the emperor, Yin Langzhong will have to be angry again.

Hong Liang, who had made up his mind, was just about to order his deputy to continue the investigation, when he found that one of his subordinates hurriedly ran in from outside, bowed down and reported: "My lord, there is a discovery!" ”

"But other bodies found?" Hong Liang stood up from his chair in surprise.

"No, I found an entrance, and the small suspicion is a dark room."

"Lead the way!" Although he was a little disappointed, when he heard about the dark room, Hong Liang became interested again, and he wanted to know what secrets there were in the mansion of Lord Shangshu of the former Ministry of Works.

Under the leadership of his subordinates, Hong Liang came to the entrance of the dark room along the path, which was very dark inside, I don't know the depth, and the clear sun sky illuminated the heaven and earth white, but at this entrance, I could only see four or five steps, and then I couldn't see it.

At Hong Liang's command, one of his men lit a torch and took the lead down the steps, followed by Hong Liang, and the people behind also entered with torches, leaving only three to guard outside, and the others had already entered, and if there was any danger inside, they would swear to protect the Lord - this was their duty.

Through the light of the torch, Hong Liang found that there was nothing special about this kind of dark room, like other dark rooms, it was a small stone path that twisted into it.

But when the eyes suddenly opened up, Hong Liang found that he was wrong, he had never seen or heard of the dark room in front of him, and what caught his eye was a forest of meat, with I don't know what kind of meat hung on it, there was no fresh meat, all of them had dried up, some were cut off pieces of meat, some were directly ears, and tongues, and some shriveled skin, and there was a protruding point on it, very much like a woman's chest.

Hong Liang didn't dare to think about it, he didn't believe that these cold hooks were hung with human flesh, but when a human face appeared in front of him, Hong Liang's brain was immediately messy, he didn't want to believe it, but he had to accept this fact.

Secretly scolded Wang Renshou's cruelty in his heart, endured nausea and walked through this meat forest, it seemed that God deliberately wanted to go against Hong Liang, and let him see what he didn't want to see, all kinds of torture instruments were placed there, gloomy and terrifying, there was a big cauldron not far away, and there was paraffin wax left in the corner next to it, and the rumored lantern was probably made of this pot and paraffin, and there were some strange chairs, Hong Liang didn't know what to do with them.

Then come to a secret room, here always make Hong Liang more comfortable, at least there are not so many scary things, there are some commonly used furniture in it, and a gorgeous big bed, the first feeling is comfortable, it seems that this is a place for Wang Renshou to enjoy.

A place blocked by a white tent attracted Hong Liang's attention, and as soon as he opened the tent, he immediately took two steps back, and continued to pull it open after a little slowdown, and then he was not so frightened when he saw the six corpses in the big barrel.

Hong Liang had seen Wang Renshou, that was last year when he came to the Supervision Department for a routine inspection, he had seen him from afar, and he usually remembered the big man Hong Liang very clearly, so at first glance he knew that the person who died with big eyes and a smile was Wang Renshou, seeing that he was still holding a woman's chest tightly in front of him with one hand, and holding a dagger in his chest with the other hand, obviously ending himself in bliss.

There were five women in the barrel, all with a dagger in their chests, each with a painful expression, Hong Liang didn't dare to look at it a second time after a glance, these people should not be Wang Renshou's close relatives, Wang Renshou is alone here, then the others may have run away a long time ago, although this speculation is made, Hong Liang has to be sure again.

"Split up and see if there are any other corpses!"

The men who went out to look for it soon returned, but the results did not surprise Hong Liang, and he could now conclude that the Wang family had slipped through the net.

It was always time to make a difference, Hong Liang's body and mind were also relaxed, and after a second glance, he ordered his subordinates: "Transporting these six corpses out and sending them to Dali Temple, destroying everything in them, and finally sealing the entrance!" ”

After walking out of the dark room, looking at the clear blue sky, Hong Liang exhaled a long breath, he hoped that this kind of thing would not happen again next time······
