Such a trivial matter, naturally it is not Xie Xuan's turn to order. As soon as Feng Shoudao gave the order, seven or eight officials with all kinds of farm tools immediately stepped forward and dug around the grave.

The mound is not big, but the tea cup time is dug to the bottom.

Wang Fanniang's bones were wrapped in only a roll of straw mats.

Years have passed.

The straw mat has long since rotted.

Even Wang Fanniang's bones have long since become a pile of white bones, and with the excavation of the grave, the light of the sky suddenly appeared, and it scattered in all directions.

"There are only white bones left, can you still find out the cause of death?" Yue Jian asked while handing Chen Chaoyan masks, gloves and other things.

Xie Xuan and Feng Shoudao looked at Chen Chaoyan one after another.

Chen Chaoyan didn't finish his words, "Just try it and you'll know." ”

After putting on the protective clothing, mask and gloves that were only made last night, Chen Chaoyan walked to the white bones. After a general glance at the scattered bones, she turned back and asked Chonglou to lay a new straw mat, and then she squatted in front of the white bones, and picked up the white bones scattered on the bright side one by one in the same way as from left to right and first collecting small bones and then large bones, and then displayed them on the straw mat.

After selectively collecting some of the soil under the bones, Chen Chaoyan took a small hoe and began to search for the clothes and belongings of the bones.

A few hoes went down, and a piece of jade pendant was exposed.

Confirmed by Zhao Niangzi, the jade pendant is Wang Fanniang's belongings.

Later, several more pieces of shredded fabric were found.

Zhao Niangzi didn't know what clothes Wang Fan's mother was wearing when she died, so she couldn't judge, but fortunately, Chen Chaoyan didn't have any hope of letting her confirm everything. After collecting the clothes, just as he was about to stop, Chen Chaoyan took a small hoe and dug it at random. The crisp sound of Jin Ge's collision and the vibration of encountering a hard object made her stunned for a moment, and then immediately dug around the hard object.

"This is ......" The hard object appeared, Chen Chaoyan was about to pick it up with a handkerchief, Xie Xuan's cold voice suddenly sounded above her head, "Don't move!" ”

Chen Chaoyan withdrew his hand, and then looked up at him.

Xie Xuan's mask was frosty, and his eyes were like a sword, "Blockade Zhanghuang Mountain!" ”

Chonglou, Lingquan, and Nanling should have sounded in unison, and disappeared in three directions like arrows in an instant.

"Lord Feng." Xie Xuan spoke again, his voice was calm, but it implied murderous intent, "Take your people and retreat to Guanyin Temple." No one is allowed to leave without the king's command! ”

After Feng Shoudao vaguely glanced at the hard object in front of Chen Chaoyan, he answered in a deep voice, and quickly left the back mountain with everyone, including Huiyin.

Chen Chaoyan noticed that the atmosphere was different, and he also consciously stood aside.

"It's the head of a horse-pounding gun," Ruolan said, after picking up the hard object and wiping the dirt off the surface with a handkerchief, "There is no marking of the ordnance supervisor, and it is a private thing." ”

Xie Xuan seemed to have known this result for a long time, and said with an ordinary face: "Keep digging." ”

Qingxue took a hoe, centered on the mound, and after digging a circle, he dug out two more of the same spear heads.

"Where there is an iron mine, there is a workshop of the ordnance supervisor." When Xie Xuan inspected the head of the spear, Yuejian quietly moved to Chen Chaoyan's side and explained to her in a low voice, "The ordnance supervisor is in charge of the manufacture of weapons armor and crossbows, and the supervision is extremely strict. There are detailed records of the amount of minerals produced and the number of weapons and crossbows forged. During the forging process, each batch of weapons and crossbows will be engraved with a number, so that the responsibility can be assigned to the person. In other words, as long as the weapons and crossbows are produced by the ordnance supervision, they are all numbered, and those that are not numbered are privately made. ”

"According to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, privately making weapons is tantamount to rebellion, and the Nine Clans will be punished."

Chen Chaoyan looked at the spear head in Xie Xuan's hand and asked casually: "Weapons armor and crossbows are the sharp weapons of the country, and the weapons supervisor is not only a place for forging these sharp weapons, but the audit of craftsmen must be extremely strict, and the requirements for the level of forging must also be extremely high." What is the forging process of these heads, and can it be determined that they are from the Ordnance Superintendent? ”

"It's from the Ordnance Warden." Ruolan said.

"Since the workshop of the Ordnance Superintendent has detailed data records for each process, these few gun heads are from another process?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

Her meaning is very clear, since there is private mining of iron ore, and after the iron ore is mined, it is transported to the official mine, so it is very possible to use the cover of the official mine to make weapons privately for public and private purposes.

However, private mining of iron ore can be strongly described as for money.

The nature of privately manufactured weapons has completely changed.

"These tips are rusty, and it can be seen that they have been buried in the mud for at least three years." Xie Xuan took a spear head and said separately, "In other words, at least three years ago, they were already privately making weapons. ”

Ruolan and the others' faces changed instantly.

Xie Xuan took away the coldness on his face and the murderous intent on his body, looked at Chen Chaoyan, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Miss Chen, do you know, why did Wang Da bury these spearheads in the grave?" ”

Chen Chaoyan said: "Listen to me. ”

"Miss Chen, have you heard of the Soul Suppression?" Xie Xuan glanced at the grave, and then at the bones on the straw mat next to him, and said casually, "Suppress ghosts with murderous objects, so that they cannot be reincarnated, let alone turn ghosts into ghosts and harm people." ”

Chen Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the gun in his hand, and then looked at the bones on the straw mat: Wang Da is still afraid of this?

"Man dies for money, and birds die for food." Xie Xuan said lightly, "But that doesn't mean that he is not afraid." The Nine Clans are not just talking. ”

That's right, Chen Chaoyan nodded.

"Privately mining iron ore and making weapons privately......" Xie Xuan muttered twice and said with a light smile, "Miss Chen is really a lucky general." ”

Thank you, she would rather not, Chen Chaoyan was silent.

Xie Xuan chuckled: "Miss Chen has finished the inspection?" ”

Chen Chaoyan was silent for a moment before he said, "No, you have to go back and test again." ”

"Then let's go back." Xie Xuan said, handing the gun head to Ruolan and motioning for her to keep it.

In this way, the group went back to the county guard's mansion.

As for how to deal with the aftermath, Chen Chaoyan did not ask, nor did he plan to ask. So after returning to the county guard's mansion, she went straight to the mortuary.

It was midday, and the sun was hot and blinding.

After rejecting Feng Shoudao's proposal to have lunch first, Chen Chaoyan, with the help of Old Man Sun, spent most of the hour under the sun outside the mortuary to reassemble the bones on the straw mat.

After finishing the fight, he walked twice along the straw mat, and after squatting with the help of a red paper umbrella and examining dozens of bones carefully, he said: "The deceased is a woman, aged between thirty and thirty-two, and her height is about four feet eight to four feet nine. The occipital bone, ribs, sternum, spine, hand bone and femur are all fractured to varying degrees. Judging from the fact that there is no hyperplasia on the fracture surface, it can be concluded that these are postmortem injuries. ”

"But ......"

Chen Chaoyan picked out the temporal bone and mandible and placed them in the empty space on the side, so that Xie Xuan and Feng Shoudao could look more closely, "Do you see the difference?" ”

Feng Shoudao said uncertainly: "This bone is white, these two bones are a little black and broken, this is ...... Poisoning? ”
