Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and even Xiao Ying and Shen Yuzhi, the two insiders, were now dumbfounded.

Xie Zheng and Huan Ling, Xiao Zhen and Shen Yu all quickly walked to the grave to take a look, and the consequence was that the one under Pei Huizhao's feet was a jet-black wooden plank.

Xiao Daocheng was already trembling with anger, and immediately ordered: "Remove this coffin!" ”

Listening to the order, the subordinates immediately picked up the shovels on the ground, walked to the grave, and waited for Pei Huizhao to come up, and then moved the coffin.

At that time, Huan Ling and Xie Zheng were standing beside Xiao Daocheng, and Pei Huizhao was originally standing in this position, but now the two of them were standing on it, just in front of Pei Huizhao, Pei Huizhao intended to show favor to Xie Zheng, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to her, signaling Xie Zheng to pull her up.

Seeing her like this, Xie Zheng clearly hesitated at first, and then took her hand and exerted some strength, but the mud was slippery, and Pei Huizhao couldn't climb up.

Seeing the situation, Yuzhi also stepped forward to take a hand, the master and servant, one pulled her left hand, the other pulled her right hand, the three women, dragged and dragged, dragged and climbed, Pei Huizhao finally came up.

Pei Huizhao didn't care about the dirt all over his body, smiled with Xie Zheng, and said softly: "Thank you." ”

Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "I should thank Niangniang." ”

Several of the trilogs joined forces, and without much effort, they lifted the empty coffin above and moved it aside, so that several more of them jumped out of the grave and cut open the silt that lay on the coffin below, and under the silt was indeed an old coffin.

Seeing this, Xiao Daocheng immediately ordered: "Open the coffin!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the heavy rain stopped abruptly.

It's strange to say that this torrential rain came and went suddenly.

When the rain came, it washed out the cat greasy in the grave, and when the rain left, the truth had surfaced, and everyone looked up at the sky.

Several parts pried open the rivets nailed to the coffin one by one, and then pushed the lid of the coffin, and sure enough, a white skeleton appeared in front of everyone.

"Yanghou! Yanghou ......" Xiao Zhen looked at the bones of "Xie Yu", there was a sharp pain in his chest, his legs were weak, and he knelt down straight, he propped his hands on the wet soil, looked down at the white bones in the coffin, and whimpered: "Blame me for today's events, blame me for not being able to stop them in time, so that they disturbed your sleep here......"

"Your Highness......" Pei Huizhao couldn't bear it, and knelt down with him, but instead of kneeling Xie Yu, he knelt beside Xiao Zhen, holding his arms with both hands, and whispered: "Yanghou has ascended to Bliss, Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself." ”

Xiao Daocheng's face became more and more gloomy, he looked sideways at Shen Youzhi, and asked in a deep voice: "Shen Youzhi!" What's going on! He called Shen Yuzhi's name, not his epithet, "Zhongda", which shows that he was extremely angry.

Shen Yuzhi didn't know that there was a coffin underneath, and he didn't know that Xie Yu's body was hidden in this coffin, and now that Xiao Daocheng was responsible, he naturally didn't know how to answer, so he just replied: "This ...... Lao Chen...... The old minister doesn't know......"

He didn't know! Xie Yu's tomb, he did take people to move, was instructed by King Wuling and Luo Shuyi, because he learned that Xie Zheng was Xie Yu, he expected that Xie Yu's coffin was empty, so he spent money to incite the people to jointly ask Xiao Daocheng for permission to open the coffin for inspection, he wanted to be foolproof, but he was not worried about whether the coffin was empty, so he personally brought a few people, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, dug up Xie Yu's tomb, and pried open Xie Yu's coffin.

Later, he was worried that people would find out that there were traces of moving soil on the tomb, so he waited until after the rain to dig the grave.

But that night, when he brought someone here to open the coffin, it was indeed empty! How did he know that Xie Yu's real coffin was actually hidden underneath......

Xiao Ying also looked at the bones of "Xie Yu" in a daze, and was shocked, and couldn't help but burn a burst of anger in his heart, thinking that a few days ago, under the guidance of Xie Guifei, he specially found a few cronies and ordered them to dig up Xie Yu's tomb, remove Xie Yu's bones, and leave an empty coffin to bury underneath.

That night, several of his cronies returned to the palace to restore their lives, and said unashamedly that the matter had been handled properly, but now he knew that the "proper handling" in their mouths turned out to be so perfunctory on Xie Yu's coffin, and then put a new coffin, and pretended to be clever to smear some mud on it to cover people's eyes!

It's a shame that he actually raised a bunch of useless waste!

Xiao Ying clenched his fists involuntarily, although he was resentful in his heart, but in front of Xiao Daocheng, he could only endure it temporarily.

Xie Zheng looked at the white bones in the coffin, and glanced at Huan Ling again, both of them seemed to be relieved, Xie Zheng then gave Yuzhi another look, signaling her to quickly choke Shen Yuzhi.

Yuzhi understood, so he reprimanded Shen Yu as expected, and said, "You don't know? How could you not know! In order to frame my lady, you first hired a group of fans (nursery), wrote a petition for all the people, and asked His Majesty to open the coffin for an autopsy, and then secretly got an empty coffin and put it inside. General Shen, today's incident was originally designed by you, but now that you have revealed the fox's tail, you are pretending to be so innocent! You're a connoisseur of acting! ”

After she said that, she knelt down again, climbed in front of Xiao Daocheng, dragged the corners of Xiao Daocheng's wet skirt with both hands, and choked up: "Your Majesty, today's matter, the county lord almost became the soul of General Shen's sword, and he was frightened, but he was framed like this, and he was really wronged!" The slave and maid are brave and beg Your Majesty to give justice to the county lord! ”

Xie Zheng didn't make a gesture to ask Yuzhi to say less this time, but squeezed out two tears, lowered his head aggrievedly, and gently wiped them with one hand.

When Xiao Daocheng looked at Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng deliberately turned sideways slightly to avoid his sight, such "grievances" and "forbearance" especially made Xiao Daocheng feel sorry, Xiao Daocheng was very angry, and immediately reprimanded Shen Youzhi: "Shen Youzhi!" Tell me what is going on today! ”

Shen Yuzhi didn't know anything, and now he was forced to ask by Xiao Daocheng like this, naturally he was very embarrassed, he was afraid that he even had the heart to seek death now, and he was like a jade branch, so he knelt on the ground and explained: "Old minister...... Lao Chen really doesn't know anything...... As soon as the coffin was opened, the old minister also thought that Xie Yu's bones were inside, but who knows......"

Without waiting for Shen Yuzhi to finish speaking, Xiao Daocheng interrupted and reprimanded: "I want to listen to the truth!" ”

Shen Yuzhi was sincerely frightened, and he also looked very aggrieved, muttering: "This ...... That's the truth......"

Xiao Daocheng still kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

It's okay if he opened his mouth to reprimand Shen Youzhi, but he didn't say a word, but it was even more frightening, Shen Youzhi thought about it carefully, and finally had an idea, and hurriedly defended himself: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, listen to the old minister! Today's matter, if it is really the old minister who designed to frame the county lord of Shanyin, then the old minister will inevitably remove Xie Yu's body, leaving only an empty coffin inside. The old minister is not a fool, why hide Xie Yu's coffin underneath, isn't this waiting for someone to see through the trick of framing the county lord of Shanyin? Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged! ”

Shen Youzhi made such an inappropriate assumption, this defense can be said to be a sword off-the-beaten, but now, all kinds of evidence point to him, and he has to exonerate himself in this way, and his explanation is indeed quite effective.

Xiao Daocheng's attitude really eased a little, he lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Youzhi condescendingly, and said thoughtfully: "What do you mean......" He did not continue, but the implication was that he suspected that someone was deliberately designing such a play today, wanting to kill two birds with one stone, and kill Xie Zheng and Shen Youzhi at the same time.

Xie Zheng and Shen Yuzhi, in the partisan dispute, stood behind Xiao Zhen and Xiao Ye respectively, if these two died, the ultimate benefit would undoubtedly be Xiao Ying, which seems to explain why Xiao Ying came here today for no reason to "watch the fun".

Xiao Daocheng is always sober-minded, he didn't dare to judge who is right and wrong in today's events, so he just instinctively turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ying meaningfully.

Xiao Yingzi's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Xiao Daocheng.

Xie Zheng knew that Xiao Daocheng had always been very important, and he would not condemn this matter today, not to mention that there was no evidence, and he would not easily dispose of his minister, she knew this truth, so she showed off her generosity in front of Xiao Daocheng, and said: "Your Majesty, General Shen is reasonable, today's matter is probably not as simple as it seems." ”

Xiao Daocheng saw Xie Zheng's forbearance, and he praised it very much in his heart, and he also knew that this matter was not simple, so he no longer blindly held Shen Yuzhi accountable, but Shen Youzhi deceived and concealed his superiors and subordinates, and he was lawless, and he was indeed not to be spared.

"Someone, pass on my message, and immediately order the Imperial Historical Observatory to thoroughly investigate the case of moving the coffin! As for you," Xiao Daocheng stared at Shen Youzhi, thought about it, and then said: "Abuse power for personal gain, know the law and break the law, go to the court lieutenant office to receive fifty rods, in addition, temporarily suspended, cooperate with the investigation of the imperial history platform." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Yuzhi was grateful, and kowtowed to the ground, compared to the capital crime, the cane punishment and suspension were really much lighter.

Xiao Daocheng looked at Shen Youzhi, snorted coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away, Qu Ping and Chen Qingzhi followed, and everyone owed their bodies, and watched the holy car leave.

Pei Huizhao raised his hand to hide his face, and sneezed softly and weakly, Xiao Zhen heard it, maybe because he was grateful to her for entering the palace today to invite the holy driver, which shocked Shen Yuzhi, and because she was grateful to her for not giving up the dirty smell, finding Xie Yu's bones, and relieving Xie Zheng's sleep, and maybe because Pei Huizhao was his wife, he walked to her side and whispered: "Go home quickly, beware of getting cold." ”

Xiao Chen's rare gentleness really flattered Pei Huizhao, since Xie Yu's death, Xiao Zhen has never cared about her as much as today, and even if she married into the Xiao family for seven years, Xiao Zhen never smiled at her more than ten times.

Pei Huizhao couldn't help but have a sour nose, her eyes were moist in an instant, she was afraid of being noticed by Xiao Zhen, so she hurriedly raised her hand and rubbed her eyes roughly, Xiao Zhen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Huizhao smiled sincerely: "It's okay, the wind and sand have entered my eyes." ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly left.

Xie Zheng also followed Huan Ling and left, leaving home.

The two sat in the ox cart when they came, Yuzhi rode Huanling's horse, and Zeng Qionglin opened the road in front, and the Hou Mansion and the others followed behind the ox cart, and the group was huge, no less than Xiao Daocheng's holy car.

Huan Ling sat next to Xie Zheng, and seeing that her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, he couldn't help but pull her cold hands, cover them tightly with his own hands, and said, "Although it is April now, it can't be easily rained." ”

Xie Zheng didn't withdraw his hand, let alone avoid him, but he didn't know how to pick up his words, so Huan Ling opened his mouth first and asked, "What do you think of today's coffin?" ”

Xie Zheng lowered her head slightly, there was a trace of cowardice on her face, she didn't look at Huan Ling, and only said: "What Shen Yuzhi said is right, if he wants to design and frame me, he must do it neatly, and he will never leave the evidence under his nose." He must have touched that tomb before, but before him, someone had already arranged everything. Therefore, the first thing Shen Yuzhi saw was the empty coffin, and he was even more convinced that I would be Xie Yu. ”

Huan Ling asked: "Then who do you think designed it like this?" ”

"It's the King of Linchuan!" Xie Zheng was already sure in his heart, yes, as soon as Huan Ling finished asking, she answered, and when she answered, she finally raised her head and looked at Huan Ling, Huan Ling was surprised: "King Linchuan? ”

Xie Zheng lowered her eyes and looked at her hand, and then took it back, she said: "Otherwise, the county marquis thinks that why did the king of Linchuan appear in the cemetery for no reason?" Previously, Xie Guifei sent someone to remove the grass, presumably to erase the traces of groundbreaking. ”

At that time, in the Linchuan Palace, Xiao Ying stood in the secret room underground, his hands on his waist, his face was full of anger, and even the lower half of his face was deformed.

Xiao Ying paced back and forth in front of him for a long time before stopping, one hand still crossed his waist, and one hand reached over and pointed to the four parts kneeling in front of him one by one, and reprimanded: "Waste! It's all a bunch of rubbish! This king has asked you to remove Xie Yu's bones, and you can do well! This king is really blind, why did he raise you useless things! If it weren't for your laziness and missteps, would she have escaped today's catastrophe? ”

After he scolded, he didn't understand his hatred, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he said: "You have ruined the king's big things, and it's useless to keep them, it's better to feed the dogs as soon as possible!" ”

Before the words fell, he took out the knife held in the hand of the cronie standing aside, looked at the neck of the four parts, from left to right, a knife slashed, the knife in his hand fell, and the white knife became a red knife.

He seemed to like the scene of blood splattering and even gushing out, and after admiring it, he casually dropped the knife, then turned to face the wall, and said slowly, "Drag it out." ”
