Lao Huang instructed his subordinates: "Do it!" Everyone moved away from the instrument, the experts retreated, Lao Huang led a few villagers to the tombstone, under the light, the stone tomb looked snow-white, everyone looked at the tombstone, which was engraved with ancient texts, full of traces of wind and rain.

Several experts looked at the ancient inscriptions on the tombstone, and after discussing for a while, a fat expert said: "The person buried in this tomb may be an official of the Ministry of Industry in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lao Huang asked: "What is the Ministry of Industry?" ”

The fat expert said: "The Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the country's engineering construction, water conservancy, tuntian, transportation and other affairs. He continued: "This man is not small, I didn't expect to be buried here like this, I look at it and feel shabby, not quite right." ”

An expert next to him said: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used torture to rectify corrupt officials, and the effect was remarkable. ”

Lao Huang said: "It doesn't matter what kind of official he is, no matter what weirdness he has, just dig it up!" ”

There is a mark painted on the ground in front of the stone tomb, which is the location where Ding Erzhu's body was found, and Lao Huang said: "We will also dig from here!" When everyone heard this, their hearts immediately lifted, and the atmosphere was tense. Lao Zheng instructed a few strong villagers to dig with shovels and pickaxes, and they were tired of changing people. The villagers did not dare or want to dig the grave in their hearts, they trembled and moved, the movements were very slow, everyone watched attentively, and they did not dare to take a breath of the atmosphere. Lao Zheng and Lao Huang saw that the villagers didn't want to dig graves, so they simply replaced the police and dug for about half an hour, and they had dug a pit almost one meter deep.

Everyone has been watching around, there is nothing in the pit, and all that is dug out is yellow mud. When the police dug again, they found that the soil layer below had hardened, darkened in color, and the composition of the soil had changed, making it more and more difficult to dig. Lao Huang and the others saw that something seemed to be going on below, and they lifted their spirits and asked their subordinates to speed up. There are a few villagers

also came to dig in shifts, Li Fugui also jumped into the pit to dig, although he was thin, but he worked very hard, dug fast, got mud, tired and sweaty.

The night wind howled, and the gloomy graveyard was very silent, and after everyone dug for a while, the people in the pit suddenly dug out a piece of white flowers from the soil. Lao Huang and the others took a closer look, and it turned out to be a bone! Lao Zheng commanded: "Be careful! The crowd was also very frightened, and the night wind blew, and the hairs stood on end! No one knows what's buried underneath. The police carefully excavated and dug up many skeletons, and the more people looked at them, the more bizarre they became, at which point an expert said: "It's the bones of cattle and sheep!" ”

The experts asked the people in the pit to dig horizontally, and dug up some cow and sheep bones, and the experts discussed a lot, saying that these bones should be used for burial and sacrifice, but it is strange to put them in this position. The mood of the crowd became more and more nervous and curious, and the people in the pit dug down again, revealing a stone wall under the soil.

Everyone was amazed, and several experts said in surprise: "Underground Palace! The fat expert wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" The squire of the Ministry of Works also built an underground palace. ”

Because there are no large-scale excavation machinery and geological exploration equipment, experts can not determine the size and shape of the underground palace, Lao Huang asked people to dig horizontally, digging out and digging two meters wider, and the stone wall below seems to be at the end.

Lao Huang and Lao Zheng stared at the pit, they were angry and funny, they couldn't cry or laugh, and in the process of solving the case, they found another cultural relics and monuments, which was really unexpected. Lao Huang asked the experts about the situation of the underground palace, and the fat expert replied: "This underground palace will not be very large, about the size of a room." ”

Lao Huang said: "No matter how big it is, can we go and see it first?" In the hearts of Lao Huang and other policemen, now this stone tomb has become a key clue to solve the case, if nothing is found in the tomb, then the case in Hexi Village will be even more difficult to detect.

The expert next to him said: "This ancient tomb has both an underground palace and a stone tomb that is directly exposed, so it is definitely not simple!" I'm afraid there will be danger. ”

Lao Zheng said: "What danger can there be? ”

The expert said: "There may be a mechanism set up in the grave to prevent grave robbers from entering. ”

Lao Zheng glared and said: "Damn, we are here to solve the case, how can it be a tomb robbery, it is a tomb, what other mechanism can there be in it, it's a big deal to blow up." He turned around and ordered the detective: "Give it to me!" ”

The fat expert said: "Captain Zheng, it's okay to dig up the tomb, but don't destroy the cultural relics and monuments, let's find a way into it first." "Experts around the stone tomb research, gossip discussion, this stone tomb is the shape of a memorial arch, the structure is very strong, but solid, there is no way to go down to the underground palace. The crowd pointed fingers and tried to move the stones with crowbars and pickaxes, but they did not move.

Lao Huang saw that it was not good to go down from the front, looked at the stone wall under the pit, and asked the expert: "In this way, we can open the wall and go in directly, okay?" ”

The fat expert said: "You can try, now if there is no lifting machinery to move, it is difficult to pass through the ground part of the building, it is better to directly open the wall of the underground palace to try." ”

The experts chose the excavation site, and Lao Zheng was also in a hurry, he jumped into the pit to dig the wall of the underground palace with his own hands. Lao Zheng covered his nose and mouth with a damp cloth according to the expert's advice, tied a rope around his waist, and stomped on the stone wall under his feet vigorously, and the stones were sealed with a gray substance, which looked very strong. Lao Zheng asked the others to retreat, he first gently smashed the stone wall with a pickaxe, it was very hard, and the voice sounded very heavy, Lao Zheng held the pickaxe tightly, picked up the pickaxe is a moment, and smashed it heavily on the stone wall, the sparks went straight up, and the stone wall fell off a large piece with a bang, which didn't look very strong. When everyone looked at it, they were a little surprised, the walls of the underground palace turned out to be unbreakable!

Everyone was looking forward to entering the underground palace, Lao Zheng was also in good spirits, his heart was happy, and he picked up the pickaxe and smashed it hard, only to hear a bang, the stone wall was smashed out of a big hole, and a puff of black smoke came out of the hole.
