Chapter Fifty-Eight: Five Coffins in the Shadow
In fact, when the dragon girl said that this was the bedroom, I was already a little surprised.
This bedroom is too remote and looks like a utility room, we walked around the Yellow House last night and didn't plan to check it out in this inconspicuous place.
But the moment the door opened, I realized what the "bedroom" meant.
You must know that the elderly will prepare the coffin when they are older, and the prepared coffin will generally have a special room, and this room is actually called "Yin Sleep", this kind of room, generally nothing dares to enter.
At this time, there were several coffins inside, which were already covered with thick dust.
We walked in, and Cao Tianshi asked, "What evidence can there be here?" ”
I'm also curious to see what evidence there can be here. The dragon girl said angrily, you just open the coffin and take a look.
Cao Tianshi and I quickly started it, we have experienced so many things, and the taboo against the dead is not so strong, after the coffin was opened, we found it empty, and counted, a total of five coffins, just when we were about to open the second coffin.
Suddenly, a meow was heard, and the black cat jumped directly onto one of the coffins.
As mentioned earlier, the black cat jumped on the coffin, which means that the corpse may be defrauded. I looked at Cao Tianshi and I at each other, and then I said something to continue. I drove the black cat down, opened the coffin with my hands, and the light of the flashlight quickly shone in.
The entrance was a corpse, which looked thin and thin, not completely decomposed, and looked a little creepy.
Daoist Qiu also came over and said lightly: "If Poor Dao is not mistaken, this should be the body of the great benevolent Huang Feng." ”
Cao Tianshi asked curiously: "Since it is a body and it is all in the coffin, why not bury it." ”
The black cat suddenly jumped on the coffin again, stepped on the edge of the coffin, stared at it with its head, and soon barked, as if it were a little sad. It sounded like a child crying.
Qiu Taoist said: "The great benevolent man Huang Feng did a lifetime of good deeds, after his death left five coffins, four empty coffins, one presumably also to do good deeds, I remember one year, disasters and famines, there are many refugees and displaced people, at that time human life is not valuable, even hungry crazy, even children eat, at that time after the death of people, just dig a pit and bury it, but there are also in order to find a coffin, go to the cemetery to dig other people's graves to plan, grab a coffin, if the poor road is not wrong, these coffins are for those refugees to prepare. People fight for a breath of Buddha to receive a stick of incense, and after a person dies, if he doesn't even have a coffin, it is not good to go to the underworld. Saying that, Daoist Qiu couldn't help but sigh.
I muttered and asked, "Then why are there no less than five coffins?" ”
Daoist Qiu continued: "It is estimated that it is because the great benevolent Huang Feng is famous, and everyone is grateful to him, so they didn't break in and rob his coffin, so to a certain extent, good people are rewarded." ”
After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, the black cat meowed again, as if he was approving Daoist Qiu's words.
Cao Tianshi asked, "What now?"
Daoist Qiu said, of course, now it is necessary to take Huang Feng's body away and protect it first, and Zhang Yan, you can go to the underworld to invite Zhong Kui and let him judge the case.
I hummed and said okay.
We first went back to the Wu Mansion, and on the way, Daoist Qiu kept talking to Master Wu. It is to tell how to deal with the people of the Song family under the instructions.
After I arrived at the Wu Mansion, I immediately went down to the underworld and told Zhong Kui about the matter, and Zhong Kui issued a notice, saying that the case would be decided in the early morning, and we were ready to do it, and the black cat was even more inseparable from the corpse. Around the wee hours of the morning, we rushed to the City God Temple.
It's just that I'm not sure now, this corpse has been dead for so many years, can it still speak?
It's always not too many people to see the excitement, the City God Temple has gathered people, gods and ghosts, everyone is talking about it, after we came, everyone got out of the way. We carried the body of Huang Dashan in a sedan chair.
The Song family also arrived early.
The other two candidates, Shen Po and Duan Gong, also came.
Yang Xingyou and Zhong Kui were already seated, and I also strode up and sat down. It's just that at this time, I found that the dragon girl's eyes on me had changed, but I didn't say anything at this time.
Zhong Kui said with a tiger face: "Wu Dongsong, listen to Lord Zhang's report, you have already found out who the murderer is, right?" ”
Old Man Wu led the ox and stood up, and replied to Zhong Kui and said, "My lord, yes, the grass people now have evidence. Just when Old Man Wu was about to go on. Song Dechang suddenly stood up, grabbed Wu Dongsong's words and said: "Back to the three adults, the grass people also have clues, and they know that the murderer is at the scene." ”
After these words fell, everyone was in an uproar.
Even I couldn't help but look sideways at Song Dechang. What is this old guy doing again?
Zhong Kui said lightly: "Since you said that the murderer was at the scene, then you should identify it on the spot." ”
Song Dechang's eyes were arrogant, with a confident look, his eyes swept over everyone, and everyone was waiting for him to speak, and then he poked his hand and fell on Old Man Wu's body, pointed at Wu Dongsong and said: "Back to the three adults, he is the murderer." ”
Old man Wu suddenly changed color and said, "You are spewing blood, what evidence do you have that I am a murderer?" ”
Song Dechang said with a smile, I dare to identify you as a murderer, naturally there is evidence. As he spoke, Song Dechang took out a jade pendant from his hand and said, "This thing is your personal thing?" ”
Old man Wu glanced at it and said yes.
"Do you never leave your carry, to tell you the truth, this thing was found in the Yellow Mansion, and you still have something to say now."
Old man Wu said, even if the jade pendant is mine, it can't prove that I am the murderer, and we also went to the Yellow Mansion to investigate the case that night, maybe it was dropped at that time.
Song Dechang continued: "I knew that you would be so quibble, and I kept my back hand and passed on the witnesses. ”
Then I saw Song Wenzhe coming in from outside, and he was holding a soul, but I could see at a glance that the soul was Wu Chenshu's. And the surprising thing is that this soul is still complete, three souls and seven souls, one soul and one soul are not missing. Song Dechang asked Wu Chenshu's soul and said, "Have you recently heard that your grandfather is going to commit murder against the candidate for the county god of Yuan'an County, so that he can dominate the family and be his own city god master." There can be this time. ”
We all stared at Wu Chenshu.
It's just that Wu Chenshu quickly said yes.
Old Man Wu was immediately trembling with anger, and reprimanded angrily: "Chenshu, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Wu Chenshu stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Dongsong and said, "It was my grandfather who did it, and that thing was done by my grandfather." ”
Song Dechang asked: "Old man Wu, do you still have to quibble until now?" ”
Old Man Wu was angry and said: "What have you done to my grandson, if something happens to my grandson, I will fight with you." ”
Song Dechang took a step back and said with a smile, Old man Wu, you are now annoyed and angry, and you can't help but kill me, kill me, kill people, do you kill people?
Old man Wu was so angry that he couldn't do it. I couldn't help but say, "Wu Dongsong, don't get excited, say something slowly." ”
The atmosphere at the scene became a little warmer, and I said to Zhong Kui: "My lord, you can't just listen to Song Dechang's words, Wu Dongsong has also prepared evidence, you might as well listen to what he has to say, and then make a judgment." ”
Yang Xingyou answered: "Two adults, I don't think you should waste time, now that the human and material evidence is there, the lower officials think that they can take down this vicious person and send him to the underworld for trial." ”
I said, "How do you know he's a murderer if you don't listen to what he says?" Hasn't he confessed it yet? Could it be that Lord Yang still has to bend into a move? ”
Yang Xingyou's face changed a little, and he wanted to say something. But was stopped by Zhong Kui, Zhong Kui suddenly asked the other two candidates for the City God, Duangong and Shenpo, if they had any eyebrows? They shook their heads and said, the grass people are incompetent, there are no clues. Didn't say anything.
Yang Xingyou took the opportunity to interject again, saying, Lord Zhong Kui, please judge the case as soon as possible.
Zhong Kui glanced at Yang Xingyou coldly, and said that the official knows what to do, so you don't need to say it.
Yang Xingyou was deflated, and Zhong Kui continued: "Wu Dongsong, you said that you have evidence, submit it." ”
Wu Dongsong, who had already calmed down again, quickly let the sedan chair come in, and said to Zhong Kui respectfully: "Go back to my lord, the grass people have the body of the great benevolent Huang Feng here, who killed him, my lord, you will know as soon as you ask." ”
As he spoke, the body of the great benevolent Huang Feng was carried out, and after Song Dechang saw the corpse, his face became a little gloomy.
Zhong Kui said, do you have a murderer to identify?
Wu Dongsong said that there was no for the time being, but after the adult asked the corpse, the corpse would naturally tell the adult who the murderer was?
Song Dechang said at the time that he could find out the murderer with a corpse? This corpse has been dead for at least a few decades, you think it was just dead, can you still ask questions? Song Dechang smiled contemptuously.
Daoist Qiu answered at this time and said: "What you said is right, the ordinary little ghost will definitely not respond when he asks the corpse, but a great priest like Zhong Kui asks the corpse, and the corpse may not be able to speak." And they were amazed.
Yang Xingyou also asked Wu Dongsong before.
After death, the three souls and seven spirits will leave the body, but only the soul will be close to the body, and the thoughts of the soul will still remain in the body.
Wu Dongsong straightened his waist, bowed to us three times, and then said, "Please also ask Lord Zhong Kui to ask." ”
Zhong Kui hummed and walked from the front of the stage to the corpse, and Yang Xingyou and I followed. After Zhong Kui walked in front of the corpse, he didn't ask questions immediately, first rubbed his two fingers against the corpse's eyes, and the next second, the corpse's eyes opened directly, and we were all stunned! Lord Zhong Kui then spoke: "Huang Feng, now this official is avenging your grievances, you have grievances and revenge." ”
Huang Feng's corpse stiffly spat out a good word.
Master Zhong Kui then asked, "Huang Feng, this official asked you, is your murderer at the scene?" If you are at the scene, you stretch out your finger and show it to the officer. ”
Not long after Lord Zhong Kui's words fell, Huang Feng's hand was raised......
