When Yin Qianshan heard this, the corners of his lips curled slightly. Sure enough, this dress is not Xue Yingtang's thing.

This men's caftan was found in the well that day, and when Xue Yingtang's body was fished out, everyone took it for granted that it was his relic. But Yin Qianshan sensed that something was abnormal, he scooped up his clothes and ordered Wang Qi to keep them, just to confirm his thoughts to Lu Sheng.

"This dress won't be Xue Yingtang's." Yin Qianshan analyzed: "First of all, Xue Yingtang is the richest man in Pinghu County, and his clothes must be extraordinary. And if you look at this dress, it is obviously a very shabby coarse cloth shirt, so it can't be his. Secondly, when the body was found, it was lying flat on the rocks in the well, and even its clothes were dry, not even mildew. He also said that Xue Yingtang was poisoned first and then thrown into the well, so there would be no struggle, and the water in the well was relatively calm, if it was the clothes worn by the corpse, how could it fade off by itself? ”

"That's right!" Wang Qi suddenly realized this, and looked at Yin Qianshan with admiration.

"Moreover, if you want to know if this shirt is Xue Yingtang's, there is a very direct way to prove it." Yin Qianshan continued, "I ordered someone to measure the size of the corpse and compare this shirt. Sure enough, the owner of this shirt was a little smaller than Xue Yingtang. Therefore, it is definitely not Xue Yingtang's clothes. ”

After listening to Yin Qianshan's story, except for Lu Sheng's ignorant face, the rest of the people secretly admired in their hearts, this new county magistrate is really very different from Lord Lin!

"But why is Yanagi's clothes in the well?" Wang Qi asked the question in everyone's mind, "Did he fall into the well?" What about people? ”

Yin Qianshan was about to say something, when suddenly another catcher hurried in to report-

"Report to your lord, Xue Yingtang's coffin has come out!"

Yin Qianshan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and Wang Qi stared at the fast catcher even more curiously.

"What's in the coffin?" Yin Qianshan immediately asked.

According to his expectations, it was either empty or stone.

The catcher replied, "There's a corpse in there." ”

Yin Qianshan stood up in surprise: "What? ”

...

At the beginning of the unitary hour, Yin Qianshan rushed to Xue Yingtang's cemetery.

The cemetery is on the outskirts of Pinghu County, among the ancestral graves of the Xue family, not too far from Pinghu County. Surrounded by mountains, the scenery is pleasant, and the cemetery is manned all year round.

Master Xue's tombstone is really extraordinary, it can be seen that it is a good stone, and the carving is also very exquisite. Although the cemetery is overgrown with grass because it is untended, the huge grave and the remnants of the memorial objects can still show the momentum of the past.

Yin Qianshan frowned, thoughtful. Wang Qi carefully observed the expression on Yin Qianshan's face, trying to guess his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Obviously, this new county magistrate really made him unpredictable.

In the newly excavated grave, inside the luxurious coffin, a white bone with a twisted posture is very eye-catching. Looking at the clawed hands and upturned feet, he must have struggled in pain before he died. In addition to the strange death, Yin Qianshan also had a feeling, that is, this white bone was very petite. The clothes on his body are men's brocade robes and trousers common to wealthy families, with high-quality fabrics and exquisite tailoring. There are still some funeral goods in the coffin, but they look very ordinary, and with someone like Xue Fu, it seems too shabby.

Yin Qianshan ordered someone to pick up the white bones and put them on the flat ground. He personally squatted down and searched among the white bones, and soon found a large purple purse with exquisite embroidery. Yin Qianshan opened the purse and took out the things inside, and immediately the people around him were amazed.

It turned out to be a stack of thick large silver tickets, and some deed leases.

"Who the hell is he? Why did you die in a coffin with so much money? Wang Qi's face was full of surprise, he looked at the silver ticket, and then at the white bones.

Yin Qianshan stood up and motioned for him to come forward to test. Then he walked to the side and looked at the leases carefully, and sure enough, they were all the Xue family's property. That deed is the deed of the Xue Mansion where Hua Wei is located.

Yin Qianshan looked at the sky and sighed.

Things are becoming more and more complicated - the scarlet-clothed female ghost who left the golden hairpin after Hua Wei hurt people, and this hairpin belongs to Mrs. Xue, who has long since died; Liu Sheng, who disappeared inexplicably in the park, appeared in the well where Xue Yingtang's body was located; Xue Yingtang's body showed that he had only recently been poisoned and discarded, while in his coffin a year ago, an unknown white skeleton was lying on his body, and he still carried thousands of family fortunes. Also, the body of the disappeared Mrs. Xue.

It took about a stick of incense before he reported the preliminary autopsy results to Yin Qianshan.

"Your Excellency, this is a female corpse." He said slowly, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Wang Qi's surprised voice.

"Female? How... How can it be? Wang Qi shouted, "He's obviously wearing men's clothes!" ”

Yin Qianshan motioned for Qi Zuo to continue, and Qi Zuo said: "The subordinates carefully examined the bones, this is indeed the skeleton of an adult female, aged between twenty-five and thirty years old. After an inquest, her subordinates believed that she had suffocated to death. The woman was supposed to have been nailed alive into the coffin and struggled with breathlessness, so she ended up in this position. ”

"My lord, this is too weird!" Wang Qi glanced at the distorted white bone again, and inexplicably felt a trace of coldness.

"Seal off this place first, and send people to guard it." Yin Qianshan instructed Wang Qi and said to him, "Carry the body back to continue the inquest, and report to me as soon as possible if there are other findings." ”

...

After returning to the county government study, Yin Qianshan didn't say a word and sat quietly behind the bookcase alone.

Wang Qi stood aside and waited for instructions, wanting to say something several times, but he was afraid of disturbing him, so he just closed his mouth and sighed slightly.

"When Xue Miaoren died, he was twenty-seven years old, right?" Yin Qianshan said suddenly.

"My lord, you don't suspect that the white bone is Madam Xue, right?" Wang Qi exclaimed, "How is this possible, how could Mrs. Xue be nailed to death in a coffin?" ”

"The most important deed of the Xue family is in her hands, and she is most likely Xue Miaoren herself." Yin Qianshan said slowly.

"This Xue Mansion matter is really..."Wang Qi sighed, "It's so bizarre! Didn't Mrs. Xue throw herself into the well, why did she disguise herself as a man and die in Master Xue's coffin? If it is murder for money, why is it that the money has not been taken away? ”

Yin Qianshan didn't speak, and he didn't have an answer, but he felt that the truth was about to surface.

"By the way, you said that on the day of Xue Yingtang's funeral," Yin Qianshan asked again, "the road is haunted, everyone has run out, and it is the coffin that the people from the county government went to bury, right?" ”

Wang Qi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my lord, at that time, I brought someone to carry Master Xue's coffin to the Xue family cemetery." ”

"You tell me in detail about the situation." Yin Qianshan asked.

Wang Qi will tell the whole story of the incident one by one.
