Therefore, now almost everyone who knows about the Five Emperors is frantically looking for these five ordinary-looking copper coins. is also exploring what secrets are hidden behind these five copper coins.

They all hope to use these five copper coins to change their fate.

And the old stall must have known about these rumors before he got my Jiaqing Tongbao. Otherwise, he would not be interested in Jiaqing Tongbao. And he definitely knows more than me and the third uncle. It took him nearly a year to do something with Jiaqing Tongbao. We had absolutely no idea.

Now there is a great possibility that the old stall has not yet reached his expected goal when the one-year deadline comes. So he tried every means to delay time, hoping to keep this Jiaqing Tongbao for a while longer.

Death is the best way to repay debts.

That's the conclusion I came to on my mind. Of course, none of this has been verified. And if you want to verify my speculation, the best way to see at the moment is to open the coffin and see if it is an old stall lying inside.

As soon as this thought was settled, my scalp went numb. Because I myself was taken aback by the idea.

I looked at the coffin, and although I couldn't see the inside of the coffin from the outside, it was eerie from the inside out. During the day, it's okay to say, but at night, I'm the only one in the mourning hall, and this coffin looks awkward.

But the idea of opening the coffin became stronger and stronger.

I coughed slightly, but there was still no movement in the bone-splitting room. Not even the dim oil light flickered.

I got up from the stool, just as the three sticks of incense that had been lit were about to burn to the end. I put three sticks of incense on the old stall again, bowed a few times to the coffin, and said silently in my heart: "Master stall, I'm sorry." We haven't seen each other for a year, and I miss it so much. Now I take the liberty to open the coffin, which can be regarded as a greeting to you. If there is something offended, I will burn you some paper money as reparation. ”

As I spoke, I put the incense into the censer. I took some paper money and threw it in a brazier to burn it.

After burning a wad of paper money, my heart calmed down a little.

I gently walked to the front of the coffin, reached out and put my hand on the coffin board, and gently tapped my fingers three times.

Tuk Tuk ......

Three crisp voices came out in the mourning hall. The voice was so soft that it shouldn't alarm anyone but me.

This is also a rule, and you also need to say hello to the deceased before opening the coffin.

Then, I gently placed my hand on the eaves of the coffin lid. I don't know if it's my delusion, but I feel that the temperature on this coffin seems to be colder.

This feeling is not very obvious, though. I just thought it was normal. After all, there are dead people lying inside, and it's strange to have temperature.

I secretly struggled and reached out and pushed the lid of the coffin.

Sure enough, the coffin lid was not sealed, and generally like this case, the coffin was sealed with coffin nails on the day of the funeral. And sealing the coffin also requires certain procedures.

The lid of the coffin, pushed by me, opened a gap.

The inside of the coffin was dark, and I couldn't see anything when I glanced at it.

I didn't dare to put the coffin

The lid of the wood was completely pushed open, firstly, for fear that the little flies in the room would find out, and secondly, for fear that if something happened in the coffin, I would not be able to deal with it.

I saw a lot of candles piled up in the mourning hall, which should have been bought by Little Fly. I picked one up, lit it by the flame of the everlasting lamp, and brought the candle close to the crack in the coffin to illuminate it, and looked inside through the gap from the outside.

I had a good angle, and the candle light shone in, just enough to shake a pale face.

Despite this mental preparation, the sight of that white face still scared me, and the candle in my hand almost fell to the ground.

I quickly took a deep breath and steadied my heart, which was almost jumping to my throat.

I gritted my teeth, gently pushed the lid of the coffin a little more, and looked inside again.

Lying inside, it's really an old stall.

That thin and thin face, because there was no blood, became very creepy. Although it is a little out of phase, it can be seen that it is the old stall head himself. What is more obvious is the two cheekbones of the old stall, which are slightly higher than ordinary people.

I peeked into the chamber, but the little fly still hadn't noticed my movements in the mourning hall.

I was much bolder, and I shone the candle at a different angle.

I want to see the old stall's hands.

The old stall head was wearing a shroud, and his arms were weakly resting on his sides. The cuffs of the shroud cover half of the palms, but the fingers are exposed.

I saw those hands, and immediately confirmed that the person in them was definitely the old stall leader himself.

These hands can't fool anyone.

The old stall is a bone picker, and the bone picking is all based on his own hands.

The hands were skinny, and the bones at the joints were much larger than the others, so they didn't look like human hands, they were like chicken claws, and it was fitting to say that they were ghost claws. Even if I forget the old stall head's appearance, I can't forget his hands.

Seeing this, my nose was sore. I was deeply ashamed of my actions.

It seems that the old stall is really dead, and I still doubt him here, which does make me feel a little sad and ashamed.

I finally glanced at the old stall inside, sighed, and said softly, "I'm sorry stall master." Since you're gone, I've caught up with you, let's get acquainted, and I'll definitely send you to the end. ”

With that, I closed the coffin board again.

After confirming this, I felt a sense of relief. However, from another point of view, the old stall is dead, and the Five Emperors of Jiaqing Tongbao is gone.

Now I'm not sure if what Little Fly said is true or not. He said that the old stall did not mention to him the transfer of goods before he died, that is to say, he did not mention the matter of the five emperors' money.

So is it possible that the old stall boss told him about it, but the little fly saw that the Jiaqing Tongbao was precious, and hid it privately, and kept silent about us?

When I think about it, I really can't rule out this possibility. After all, we and Little Fly have only met for the first time, and we don't know each other well.

In any case, the current situation is that the old stall can only be buried first. The dead are great, me

No matter how anxious you are, you are not in a hurry for this time.

I sat alone on the stool, with a very complicated mood, and I couldn't help but feel sad as I burned paper for the old stall little by little.

The mourning hall of the old stall is located in the courtyard, the old man's house is surrounded by four walls, and after his death, the mourning hall is simply supported by a few wooden pillars, covered with a few tarpaulins.
