Chapter 68: Finding the Truth
After the salute had been performed, the men finally began to dig up the soil.
When Shen's father and mother were buried, Shen Zhiling buried the soil one by one, but now he wants to dig up the soil again with a shovel, and all kinds of flavors come to his heart for a while.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Shen Zhiling still insisted on shoveling away the soil buried in the coffin with Yuan Heng and Lu Zhicheng, and the three of them tossed and worked for an hour or two before digging out the coffin containing Shen's father's body from the soil.
Then the three of them tossed again, loaded the coffin into the carriage, and hurried back to the city.
The coffin, which had just been dug out of the earth and smelled of earth, was placed in the center of the courtyard.
Yang Liang didn't expect Yuan Heng and them to be so fierce and dare to bring the coffin back, he thought that it would be a shame to wrap a corpse or something at most, so when he saw the coffin parked in the middle of the courtyard, he was almost frightened into cardiac arrest.
Chen Lu and Yang Liang's reactions were similar, they were both startled, but the two children didn't say anything, just silently dodged, and then put their heads under the quilt when they slept at night, hiding in the quilt and shivering.
Especially Yang Liang, although he is a good young man who grew up in the 21st century, after all, he has also experienced so many things, and his three views have long been shattered, especially when he pretended to be Mr. Shen some time ago, and now the main owner is sitting in the courtyard, how can Yang Liang not be afraid!
But I'm afraid, after all, I don't do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so although I was a little uneasy, Yang Liang still fell asleep, and he didn't have a dream all night, and the sun shone on the house the next day, and he hadn't woken up yet.
Sleepy-eyed pushed open the door, Yang Liang was once again startled by the coffin parked in the courtyard, and the only trace of sleepiness left disappeared.
Seeing that Yang Liang got up, Yuan Heng beckoned him to go to breakfast, and at the dinner table, Lu Zhicheng raised a question, that is, they have now dug up Master Shen's corpse, so where can they find the corpse to be examined?
This is really a bit stumped Yang Liang, the servants are generally for the government, and it is the head of the government that they want to expose and report, so they can think of it with their toes, they can't call the puppet to inspect the corpse, and even if they go to ask the puppet now, it may not be able to be invited!
And at this moment, Yuan Heng suddenly thought of a person, that is, the middle-aged man who said in the teahouse that the Shen family's murder case was related to the county lord, he said that his father was a well-known doctor in Gucheng back then, so he should know some doctors, if he asked him, maybe he would get good news!
Yuan Heng shared their opinions with everyone, and after using it, everyone nodded in agreement, so Yuan Heng set off to the man's house.
Yang Liang originally thought that Yuan Heng would come back to discuss when he said hello over there, but he didn't expect him to come over directly.
The man's face was panicked, and he looked very pitiful.
Yuan Heng placed him in front of the table, trying to pretend to be kind, but his appearance looked even more ill-intentioned, until Lu Zhicheng couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to explain the situation, and he didn't calm down a little when he was trembling.
Hearing Lu Zhicheng ask himself what kind of reliable doctors there were in this solid city, the man thought for a while, and then said a name, Dr. Zhang in the south of the city.
It turned out that Dr. Zhang was good friends when his father was still there, and after his father died, Dr. Zhang also took care of him many times, and Dr. Zhang's medical skills were very shrewd and superb, and he also had a good reputation in Gucheng.
A few people in total, superb medical skills, good reputation, and the most important thing is that they are still related to the previous doctor, so this person is indeed very suitable.
After some discussion, it was decided that the man would take them with them to find the doctor Zhang in the south of the city, and when he was leaving, the timid man saw the coffin parked in the courtyard again, his feet kept trembling, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.
Yuan Heng and Shen Zhiling barely held him up.
Shen Zhiling's house is located in the western corner of the city, and there is still a distance to the south of the city, so it will take a while for a few people to rush over.
During the time they went out, Yang Liang stayed in the room and didn't dare to go out casually, and he was still a little stunned when he looked at the coffin parked in the middle of the courtyard, so he simply hid in the room with Chen Lu and Shen Qiyi.
After a long time, Yuan Heng and the others came back from the south of the city, and there was an old man with gray hair who came back with them, his expression was a little serious, and he was carrying a medical box in his arms, which seemed to be the doctor Zhang they were talking about.
After Dr. Zhang came, a few people first rested for a while, and then walked to the middle of the courtyard, Yuan Heng opened the coffin without a few efforts, and a smell of dust and gloomy rancid smell emitted in the air, Lu Zhicheng, who had not seen much of the world, had already begun to vomit, and Shen Zhiling's face looked very bad, but after all, it was his own father, so it was estimated that he was also uncomfortable.
It's Yuan Heng and that Doctor Zhang, both of them look calm, but one of them is a healer, and the other used to be a killer, so it is estimated that the corpse or something has already been strange.
When the smell of the yard dissipated, the three children opened the door of the room and walked out.
Shen's father's body had shriveled and shrunk, so although the smell was pungent when the coffin was opened at first glance, the visual impact was not so great.
There are some funeral goods scattered in the coffin, which seem to be some antique jade, but with the financial resources of the Shen family, after the death of the owner of such a big family, it stands to reason that the funeral goods should not be the only ones, and it looks too shabby.
Bu Gui thought about it, at that time, the Shen family's house was burned to ashes, and Shen Zhiling was grief-stricken at that time, so when he was buried, Shen Zhiling estimated that he was just more than enough and not enough, so he had to take out some valuable items at hand and make up some for Shen's father to be buried with.
After a while, Shen's father's body was carefully moved out of the coffin and placed on a white cloth table that several people had prepared next to him, looking like a modern forensic autopsy.
The doctor washed his hands several times with clean water, and carefully wiped them with a clean face towel several times, before reaching out to uncover the tattered clothes on Shen's father.
And Shen Zhiling on the side couldn't help it at this time, suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed to Shen's father's corpse while crying bitterly, and the strength was so great that Yang Liang and Yuan Heng were startled.
