After a half-mutter, Lord Fang thought thoughtfully: "Sounds like that. However, evidence is needed in everything. ”

Dongfanghong made a suggestion: "So, I ask to bring some officials to Jizheng's grave to open the coffin for autopsy." ”

Master Fang stroked his beard, calmed down and thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "This matter must not be done. Ji Zheng's adopted daughter is the niece of the current queen, after Ji Zheng's death, the queen asked for a posthumous title of Anle Hou, and he had to be approved by the emperor to open the coffin for an autopsy. Otherwise, it will be an offense to the emperor. ”

Dongfang Hong was stunned when he heard this, and said straightforwardly: "My lord, you ask for the people's life, you have always enforced the law impartially, and you are not afraid of power, when did you have so many concerns." ”

Regarding the matter of opening the coffin for the autopsy, Master Fang thought about it for a long time.

If it was not Ji Zheng lying in the coffin, but someone else, then Ji Zheng's murder case could be solved. Moreover, it may become the key to solving the three cases.

However, if the results of the coffin autopsy are really Ji Zheng lying in the coffin, it will be a big trouble.

Lord Fang pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons of this, and did not say anything.

"Your Excellency." Dongfanghong screamed tentatively.

Lord Fang came back to his senses and sighed lightly: "That's it." Dongfang catches the head, this matter will be handed over to you. We must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not alarm others. ”

Dongfang Hongxin nodded understandingly.

At this time, Xiao Si walked into the study with a bowl of snacks. Dongfang Hong just glanced at him casually, but he was so nervous that the bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and he said, "I'm sorry, my lord." The little clumsy ones. Damn it. ”

There was an inexplicable hint of panic in his voice.

Lord Fang was not angry or annoyed, looked at him kindly, and chuckled, "It's okay." Pack up and retreat. ”

Dongfang Hong looked at him and faintly felt a little strange. However, he only thought about the opening of the coffin for the autopsy, and did not think much about it, and walked out of the study.

He immediately set out to pick out a few capable subordinates, changed into civilian clothes, and rushed to Ji Zheng's tomb.

After dusk, the water vapor evaporated by the sunlight dissipates from the mountains. And the sun went down into the western mountains. The shadow of the mountain peaks, more quickly falling down on the wilderness. The shadows grew thicker and thicker, blending in with the night.

Dongfang Hong carried a singing lantern to lead the way in front, and the entire mountain road was pitch black. Except for a little light under his feet, and the sound of insects and pheasants on both sides from time to time, he couldn't see anything clearly.

When he arrived at the grave where Ji Zheng's coffin was buried, Dongfang Hong was dumbfounded. Ji Zheng's grave gathered a dense crowd.

Although it was dark night, lanterns and torches could be seen everywhere, illuminating the land at the head of the grave as if it were day.

A large number of people from Juyi Villa knelt in front of Ji Zheng's grave with lanterns and torches in their hands. The leader was none other than Steward Yang of Juyi Villa.

Dongfang Red Rage. This is a mole in the yamen. He came out in a hurry, and not many people knew the news, who leaked the news so quickly?

He quickly set his sights on Xiao Si, who had broken the bowl during the day.

It had to be him.

Although the matter has leaked, in the face of these people in front of him, Dongfang Hong still disdains. He has always had a tough attitude in doing things, and he has long taken Lord Fang's advice as a deaf ear.

Even if someone obstructs him, he still goes his own way.

With a wave of his hand, several of his men approached with lanterns. ,-for-tat with the gang at the grave.

Steward Yang led those servants to guard Ji Zheng's grave, and asked boldly, "Lord Dongfang, what are you going to do?" ”

Dongfang Hong smiled coldly, and his words revealed coercion: "Today, I brought a few of my subordinates to open the coffin for an autopsy. The death of the leader of the Ji Alliance is unknown, and I will re-examine the corpse in order to find out the clues of the murderer. ”

Steward Yang tried his best to restrain his fear, and said to stop him: "After my lord was killed, I reported to the official as soon as possible. At that time, he invited a servant to inspect the body in detail, and there are records in the yamen. You were there at that time, Lord Dongfang. You don't go after the murderer, but you come to disturb the ghost of my master. ”

Dongfanghong didn't have time to rub his tongue with him, and said: "After a long time, maybe some new clues can be discovered." Whoever dares to obstruct the government's handling of the case will be arrested. ”

There was no doubt about the solemnity and majesty in his words.

But those who are gathered at the grave are numerous, and are not afraid, nor yield.

For a time, the two sides were at a stalemate.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and people nearby came to watch, including many people from the rivers and lakes. The scene was noisy and chaotic.

Although Dongfang Hong has a body of martial arts, in this case, it is useless. I want to stop there, but I am unwilling. Seeing that the other party wanted to cover up, it made him believe even more that it was not Ji Zheng himself who was lying in the coffin.

After a long time, Xiangye squeezed in from the crowd. His squinting eyes flashed with cold light, staring at Dongfang Hong, and shouted: "Dongfang Catcher, what are you doing?" ”

Dongfanghong gave Xiang Ye a salute and replied to him very seriously: "Xiang Ye." Obviously, I'm bringing someone to open the coffin for an autopsy today. ”

Xiangye's face was pale, his eyes glared at him fiercely, and he said angrily: "Who gave you the right?" Ji is the emperor's posthumous An Le Hou, how can you be allowed to dig graves at will? ”

Ji is the emperor's posthumous peace.

This sentence reminded Dongfanghong again. He remembered what Lord Fang had explained, and he couldn't make it public. However, looking at the other party's reaction, it is clear that there is a ghost in his heart.

Dongfang Hong went out. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a firm tone: "Xiangye, what if I have to find out today?" ”

Xiangye glanced at him and sneered: "Dongfang Hong, you don't have chicken feathers as arrows." Even if Lord Fang came in person, I forgive him and he may not dare to make a mistake. I'm standing here today, who dares to step forward! ”

Dongfang Honghun was not afraid of death, and sneered: "Xiangye, what is your intention to protect and protect you so much?" Could it be that there really is some secret of the invisible man? ”

Xiangye's displeasure was obvious, and his wrinkled old face was deep. He roared in a low voice: "Bold Dongfang Hong." You are a little catcher, and you dare to speak wildly. ”

He was about to be furious, but because there were so many people at the scene, in order to maintain his magnanimous appearance, he suppressed his anger and did not continue.

This makes others look like Dongfang Hong is stirring up trouble, and Xiangye is generous and does not have the same knowledge as him.

Dongfanghong did not give up, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a long time.

In the end, Lord Fang pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of both sides. He bowed down to salute Xiangye, and then scolded Dongfang Hong: "Dongfang catches the head, don't be rude." ”

Then, Lord Fang apologized to Xiangye and called Dongfang Hong and several officials back.

Back at the Yamen, Dongfang Hong said angrily: "My lord, how can this matter be good? ”

Lord Fang smiled bitterly: "I have to ask the emperor for this matter." Now that the emperor has gone to Sunan to investigate the people's situation, I am afraid that he will have to wait for a month and a half. ”

He sighed, and then said: "Today's matter has already startled the snake, and if you want to open the coffin for an autopsy in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

Dongfang Hong was slightly surprised, he thought that opening the coffin and performing the autopsy was just an easy task, but he didn't expect it to be so tricky. I knew he wouldn't be so impulsive.

It's all to blame on Xiao Si who reported the news.

By the time he was about to settle accounts with Xiao Si, Xiao Si was already gone.
