Chapter 8: Let's dig the grave
The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people kill people and oversell goods.
Liang Zhesi changed into night clothes, and the brothers behind him were also dressed in the same way, everyone was black from neck to foot, even the head was covered with a black cloth, only three holes were dug, eyes and nostrils.
"So, what are we going to do?" Liang Zhesi took out a shovel from behind him, and shook his head very speechlessly and helplessly, thinking that he was the second young master of the country, with a graceful demeanor and a jade tree in the wind, he could have followed his eldest brother to the frontier to guard it, and he would have been a majestic general.
I don't know what I thought at the time, so I was fooled by the half-hung military general who knelt in front of the grave and burned paper and incense, and the real scholar.
Now, every day is either stealing corpses, or on the way to dig up corpses, and the corpses don't look for him, he has to take the initiative to find the corpse.
What the hell is going on?
It's really sad to think about it.
"Alright, it's time to dig!" Huang Pi beckoned to them, his voice thought it was very small, but it floated along the wind, it was a really loud voice!
"Brothers, dig it!" Liang Zhesi sighed, who let them have such a master, everyone else slept at night, just like they were thieves, and came to dig up the corpse.
Due to the experience of digging up the grave with Lord Huang, in less than an hour, this grave was pried open by them.
Gebu, who was driving the ox cart and dragging the wooden box, immediately drove the cart over, and the group of people were familiar with the way, took a blanket, wrapped it around the corpse, and then turned it lightly, and wrapped the whole body tightly with the extra cloth, and then carried the edge, and carefully placed the body in the wooden box covered with straw.
"Let's go, go to the next place!" After Huang Pi waited for them to cover the coffin, bury the soil, and restore everything to its original state, he nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and greeted everyone very proudly, "These people are all from the same clan, so the corpses are buried in this piece, let's be quick with our hands and feet, and we can dig out all three corpses without moving!" ”
Liang Zhesi lowered his head in frustration, okay, I thought it would be good to dig up one body, but I didn't expect that I would have to dig up three, just now in Dali Temple, when I heard him shouting that he came to dig a grave, he should have refused.
Fortunately, the weather was cold, and there was no one around at night, and after all three corpses were dug up, they were not seen, and after a group of people had finished digging the grave, they collected shovels and squatted in the ox cart, together with the large box containing the corpses, and let Gebu cover them with cloth.
In the dark space, there was nothing but the sound of breathing.
The ox cart walked very slowly, and it was night, and everyone dozed off in a circle.
"Zhesi, let me sleep by you for a while," Huang Pi also hid in, just next to Liang Zhesi, and when he got into the car, the tense nerves of the whole person immediately relaxed, and the sleepiness soon came up.
Before he could say such a sentence, his head tilted, and he fell asleep.
"Your Excellency?" Feeling a head pressing on his shoulder, Liang Zhesi wanted to push him away, but thinking that this was Huang Pi's head, he still held back.
Forget it, adults read the files day and night in the Dali Temple, think about the case, get up early and go to the morning court, but at the age of twenty-four or five, they don't even have a home, and they nest in the Dali Temple every day, either in the file room, or in the room.
It's so hard, sleep on your shoulders for a while, then sleep for a while, although it feels weird.
This is the first time, seeing that adults are so tired, Liang Zhesi helped Huang Pi's head in the dark, making him more comfortable.
In the past few days, Liang Zhesi has also been very busy, and followed Yin Si to the file room of Qingwan Pavilion, consulted a large number of documents, and transcribed the information that he found useful, which was really laborious.
After finishing the papers, I had to go to the cave full of coffins to investigate, and before I could find anything, I was pulled back by Yin Si and said that I wanted him to do me a favor.
So, he took a group of guards and pretended to find a young man named Qingchuan everywhere, and after looking for several days, finally, this afternoon, the bureau was completed.
Speaking of which, the people in the Qingwan Pavilion are quite bold, so they said that the predecessor of Qingming himself, in the name of taking refuge in Guan Kurong, dared to wander to the bottom of the mountain, changed his name into a withered old man, and continued to deceive.
Not only is he bold, but this lie is also very big, what is the grandson of Qingming, and the jade pendant represents the identity of the master of Qingwan Pavilion. What's more, they really let Qingwan Pavilion go to the rivers and lakes to spread the news.
Xu is tired, Xu is ox cart is too hypnotic, Liang Zhesi also fell asleep, and when he woke up, he saw Yin Si and Ku Rong holding hands, standing silently in front of him, with a slightly strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Liang Zhesi's voice was a little hoarse, and he wanted to stretch, but he found that his shoulder was very sore, and when he looked at the painful place, Huang Pi was still asleep on his shoulder.
Is this still in an ox cart? Liang Zhesi looked around in a trance, it was indeed in the ox cart, but the cloth covering it was gone, and there were familiar scenes all around, and it turned out to be in the cowshed of Dali Temple.
The people who were originally squatting around him all went down, and the corpses were also carried down by Gebu and them, and the others saw that the two of them were sleeping sweetly, and felt sorry for them who had been busy going in and out these days, so they didn't call them up, not only did they not shout, but they also put a blanket on the two of them very intimately.
So, if you look from under the car, you and Huang Pi are lying in a blanket, two of you leaning on my shoulder, I am pillowed on your head, there is a pile of hay behind you, and there is also a pile of hay under your body.
It's a reverie!
Liang Zhesi scratched his face, he was not angry, he didn't want to explain, and he didn't wake up Huang Pi, but asked the two people in front of him softly, "Two, but something?" ”
"There are some things I want to discuss with you and Lord Huang," Yin Si nodded, and the two of them glanced at each other, shaking their heads in unison, "But don't worry, or we will come back tomorrow!" ”
"It's okay, I'll discuss it with you, my lord, let him sleep for a while," Liang Zhesi carefully put his head on his shoulder, slowly lifted it, and then endured the numbness of his arm, put him flat on the straw in the carriage, and covered the blanket again, and then patted his body and got off the ox cart.
Ku Rong and Yin Si nodded, and the group came out of the cowshed and went to the place where the people were resting and drinking tea.
It was the middle of the night, there was no one inside, the lamp was still lit, and the three of them sat on the table inside, and lit a charcoal fire on the side, and there was an iron kettle hanging on the charcoal fire, and the fire was burning very strongly, crackling, and the water in the iron kettle was also buzzing.
"Is it okay for adults to sleep there?" Ku Rong couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, adults can sleep anywhere," Liang Zhesi went to the side to find three cups, cleaned them, took some coarse tea, put them in it, and when the water in the iron furnace boiled, he poured a glass of water into the cups in front of everyone.
"What are you here for?" Liang Zhesi blew the tea leaves floating on the surface and drank hot tea.
"Naturally, it's for Liu Yuanwai's daughter Liu Ying," Ku Rong replied, this Liu Ying, it will be more than half a month since she disappeared, Zhezhe and Liang Zhezhe have both been found, but Liu Ying, who disappeared on the same night, has not been found.
Approaching the end of the year, Liu Yuanwai has returned to the capital from other places, in order to find his daughter, he is going to the Taoist temple every day to ask for the law, and Kurong is very annoyed by him.
It stands to reason that the person is gone, and it is right to find the government, this Liu Yuanwai loves to look for him, and he keeps asking, suspecting that the little Taoist priest in the Taoist temple abducted his daughter.
said that his daughter was smart and smart, with outstanding appearance, and when she was in the house, many people loved her, and she chose her in-law's family for her. However, she was deceived into this temple, and she was not allowed to go home. Her daughter is simple and cute, and this time she is gone, she must have run privately with the little Taoist priest in this Taoist temple, pestering Kurong to check if there is a little Taoist priest missing!
Ku Rong doesn't know how many times he has explained, but this Liu Yuanwai, he just doesn't believe it!
Gongbo Zhezhe and Liang Zhezhe were kidnapped together, who was this Liu Ying kidnapped, and he didn't know, if it was the same group, then why didn't she find it? If it's not the same group, then why hasn't there been any news until now?
"Don't you know all this?" Liang Zhesi looked at Yin Si with a puzzled expression, "You didn't talk to Daoist Kurong?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Yin Si really didn't tell him anything, he left a little kid to him when he came back from Qingzhou City, and named him Qingchuan, and asked him to claim that this was his grandson who came out of the snowy mountains, and what was even more hateful was that he asked him to find someone to start from scratch.
Ku Rong really can't figure it out, why does his nephew like * people so much?
"Liu Ying is in our mansion now, and she follows Xiao Fake Bao every day," Liang Zhesi looked at Ku Rong's face full of ignorance, and knew that Yin Si didn't reveal anything to him, so he had to explain it himself.
When Yin Si left Qingzhou City, he left a letter for him, asking him to intercept the letter written by Ku Rong to Gongbo Zhezhe, and also mentioned that the maid who followed Gongbo Zhezhe had some questions, and it depended on the prison.
As long as she doesn't do anything hurtful, she will turn a blind eye, pretend not to know, and try not to startle the snake. If she returns to Beijing and wants to leave, she must be followed closely behind.
As a result, she actually changed her face and sold herself to bury her father on the day they left the city, so that Xiao Zhezhe bought it. After Liang Zhesi gave her money, he asked her to go to Xiangguo's Mansion to report five days later, and gave her these time, ostensibly to let her go back to deal with her father's funeral, but in fact, it was to follow her and see what tricks she wanted to play.
As a result, this girl has some skills, and she almost lost her face by them. She didn't have a father to be buried, but went to a ruined temple at the foot of a mountain in the north of the capital, and there were two people in it, one of whom was Liu Ying, and the other was a scholar.
The person who followed the inquiry eavesdropped on their conversation, and it turned out that as early as three months ago, this girl had changed her identity with Liu Ying and pretended to be her to enter Liu's mansion, and the real Liu Ying ran to this temple to pursue this poor scholar.
This scholar participated in the imperial examination at the beginning of the spring, and had some talent, but he didn't win, and he didn't have any entanglements on his body, so he sold calligraphy and painting in the capital for a period of time.
Liu Yuanwai is a person who climbs power and marries nobles, Liu Ying's marriage, he has long planned, and has always wanted her to marry into the eunuch's family, especially after coming into contact with Wang Weijin, he can't wait to directly stuff his daughter into the Wang family and send her to Wang Weishen's house.
This fake Liu Ying, now under the pseudonym Xiao Yin, is to use this to move the real Liu Ying, help her escape, and help her cover.
Xiao Yin told Liu Ying, saying that it had been arranged for her, and in a month, the people from Dali Temple would find her, Liu Ying lied about amnesia, and then was thrown into the mountain by the assassins, thanks to this scholar who saved her. In order to repay the favor, the two have worshiped heaven and earth and become married.
When the time comes, just ask for Lord Huang Pi, and there will be no worries about this matter.
"So, this matter of Liu Ying, you already have an idea, you want to follow this Xiao Yin's idea?" Ku Rong was very dissatisfied, why didn't anyone notice him about this?
"Naturally, she is now in my house, and when the time comes, she will definitely ask Xiao Zhezhe to come to me, "Otherwise, how could Dali Temple go to find someone?" There is still some time to spare in January, so, "This side of the chamber still needs to be treated by the head of the Kurong Dao to help Liu Yuanwai here!" ”
"Now that you've all figured it out, there's nothing more for me to say."
