Chapter 95 is him
"It turns out that this general named Tong Henian killed not the enemy, but his own people.
The patrol was furious, and asked Tong Henian to be beheaded, his head hung from the pole to show the public, and his body was thrown into a mass grave.
That's all this is described in this county chronicle, and this is the only one that describes the beheading.
Later, we also found a record of Tong Henian's beheading from a wild history called "Chronicles of the Nine Sides of the Clouds", but it was different from the county chronicles.
Of course, we can't use the content of the wild history as evidence, and the description of the wild history has a certain feudal superstition, and I am just saying it here, which does not mean that this is the truth."
"It's okay, you just say it."
"The description of this wild history is very bizarre, saying that in the 36th year of Wanli, the military general Tong Henian killed his own people on the battlefield, and it was not a reward for taking people's heads.
He is actually a monk, refining the demon law, and he needs 99 human heads.
But what he had done was revealed, and when he was discovered by the patrol, he beheaded him angrily and hung his head on a tree to show the public.
After the death of the demon monk Tong Nian, the ghost began to haunt the army, patrolling according to the practice of sending masters, roasting and crushing his head and scattering it in the wilderness, sealing his body in an iron urn, so that his soul could not be reborn.
This is how this wild history is described, although the authenticity is not desirable, but it is the same time, the same events, the names of people, and more importantly, the word iron urn is mentioned.
Of course, even if the key items are mentioned in the wild history, it is obviously just absurd and cannot be put on the table.
Therefore, whether the corpse in the iron urn is the child can only be used as a conjecture and reference.
That's all there is to it, I don't know if it can help you."
"That's enough. Again, are the iron urns and corpses still in the Ancient Battlefield Museum?"
"Yes, in the basement of the museum."
"There's a reluctant plea."
"You say."
"I want to see if the iron urn and the headless ancient corpse can pass through."
"Well, you can, but you can only watch, you can't do anything else."
"Well, is that your way to say hello, or did I go?"
"There's a security guard living in the museum, I'll say hello to him, you go and say that Section Chief Bi will allow him to enter." ap.
"Okay. Thank you."
The tape is blank here for a few seconds.
"April 26, 1998
Now contact Mr. Liu, whose home has been frequently hit by speeding cars."
The sound of pressing the telephone button was heard again from the tape recorder. After a while, the phone was connected, and the person who answered the phone opened his mouth first.
"Hey?"
"Hello, did you unclog the sewer?"
"Yes."
"The sewer in my shop is blocked, you can come and help clear it."
"Where are you?"
"The ...... north of the intersection of Toyo Yang Road and Xuan Yin Road Fish & Sheep Fresh Restaurant."
"Huh? Is it fresh fish and sheep? High-tech Zone...... It's so far away! Why don't you look for someone nearby?"
"The customer here introduced you and said that your dredging skills are good, so I will look for you."
"It's a bit far, I'll have to walk for a while on my motorcycle."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you, give you more money."
"Okay, then you wait for me."
"Okay."
The tape is blank here for a few seconds.
"April 27, 1998...... Wait a minute, the big lady at the commissary called me yesterday, and I was nearby, so I went straight to her."
The tape didn't record footsteps, and then suddenly there was a sound again.
"Eh, boy, did you get the message you sent me? Why did you come here in person?"
"Well, I'm nearby. Do you see the man in the picture?"
"Do you still have that photo with you?"
"With you, would you like to see it again?"
"Well, look again
See. I remembered it for a long time yesterday, remembering someone, but I was a little unsure, after all, I hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and ...... It seems that the appearance has changed a little. I'll see again."
"Wait a minute."
"Smack~" tape to the end, Qin Ding turned the fourth tape over.
"Here you go."
"Rustle ......"
"This, this man, this man is...... Hiss...... It seems like it's him."
"Who?"
"That's what I told you, the one who killed the whole family, the man surnamed Li."
"Are you sure it's him? You're not mistaken?"
"He's changed a lot, but I felt a little like him last night, and I should be right looking at the photos now. But you, why are you looking for him?"
"I won't hide it from you, I was commissioned by the Traffic Management Bureau to investigate some things, and I have something to do with this person, and I need to know something from him."
"He, did he come out of the mental hospital? He's changed so much, I almost didn't recognize how he lost weight like this."
"Thank you, eldest sister, if you see him around here, call me again."
"Uh, okay."
The tape is blank here for a few seconds.
"April 27, 1998, waiting for that Mr. Liu."
Then there was the sound of walking on the tape, and then there was the pull. The sound of a stool and table, followed by another man's voice.
"Hello, you called, the sewer in the store is blocked?"
"Mr. Liu, come over first and sit here."
"Huh? What is this for? Isn't it through the water?"
"Have you gotten better since you moved? Do strange things continue to happen in the house?"
"You...... Who are you, and what do you mean?"
"I'm the one who can help you solve your problems. Anything weird that happens in your house, I'll be able to handle it for you.
Answer me first, is there still a problem at home after moving out from here?"
"Ugh...... How do you know my family used to live here? What are you going to do?"
"My purpose is very simple, I just want to know, when the road was being built in 1985, you and the workers surnamed Li dug up the iron urn, did you take the contents of it?"
Suddenly there was a jumble of voices on the tape, the sound of rapid walking, the sound of tugging, and a few heavy, somewhat angry gasps.
"What the hell do you want? Want to fight?"
"Mr. Liu, I don't know why you want to run, now that someone can help you solve the thorny problems at home, don't you want to solve them? What are you afraid of?"
"You let go of me, who are you?"
"Mr. Liu, I can let go, but what you provoke wants the life of your whole family, you weigh it, is it important that you are afraid that people will know, or is the life of your family important?"
"But I don't know who you really are, and why you know this."
"Maybe you won't believe me when I say it, I'm ordered to catch this kind of thing you provoked, and if it drags on for a little longer, don't regret it."
"You're catching ...... What the hell?"
"Yes. I'm a ghost catcher."
"Rustle ......"
"What are you two?" (Another unfamiliar voice.) )
"We're fine, joking, it's okay."
"Oh! What do you have to say?"
"Let's go out and talk about it, it's hard to talk about it here."
"Good!"
There were some noisy footsteps on the tape, and the sound of cars moving by gradually appeared from the otherwise quiet environment, and it was clear that the two men had walked outside.
"I'm a little confused, are you really catching ghosts? How do you know there's something wrong with my family?"
"I was entrusted with this kind of thing, but in the process of investigating, I found out that it may have something to do with what happened in your family."
"What do you mean?"
"When your family was here, those cars shouldn't have been hitting each other for no reason, but the specific reason still needs to be learned from you to find out.
However, I can guarantee that I will help you solve this problem and that there will be no further problems in your family, but you have to answer my questions truthfully, and it is better not to hide what you are told, so that I can deal with it."
"You empty talker, how can I believe what you say. And do you charge for it?"
"Heh~ Your family is in a big disaster, and I think a lot. I'm telling the truth, I don't have that much time to explain anything to you, if you really can't trust me, then forget it, I can find out about it from somewhere else, but I won't take care of your family's affairs, and the client is not you anyway."
"Rustle ......"
"Eh, you, don't go, I believe it's not okay."
"Mr. Liu, there is only one chance."
"I did encounter ...... I can't explain it, I know what caused it, but I can't solve it completely, since you can, then please."
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me everything you know, don't hide it."
"Whew...... Do you know how often my family has problems?"
"I guess it didn't start three years ago."
"You guessed it, it didn't start three years ago, it started three years ago is something else.
My family has had problems since 1985, and if it weren't for the Bodhisattva worship in my family all these years, I guess I would have been killed by that thing a long time ago."
"Well, I know that this matter has something to do with the iron urn you dug up, and the person you know surnamed Li, why did he kill the whole family, you know, am I right?"
"Uh......"
"Mr. Liu, don't hesitate, you will start talking about it in 1985, the more detailed the better."
"Whew...... All right. It really started in 1985.
At that time, the government wanted to divide an east-west road from National Highway 210, which was later known as Xuanyin Road.
In fact, it was not very difficult to build this road, it used to be a dirt road, it can be regarded as a flat river, there are crops on both sides, there are almost no obstacles, and the road was not built in the past is different from now, there is not so much planning.
But at that time, there was a shortage of mechanical vehicles and manpower to build roads, so the government approached me and asked me to organize people to do the work.
In this way, I have a good reputation and know a lot of people, so I called a lot of people, and I am also the head of these people.
The person surnamed Li you mentioned, his name is Li Youtian, he and I have worked together in other construction sites before, so the relationship is okay, although he didn't live in our area at that time, but I also called him when the road was built.
At first, our work on this road was normal and smooth, until we dug up bones and some weapons and other objects in a section of the road, and we realized that we might have dug up the graves of soldiers killed in battle on the ancient battlefield.
In fact, when we were children, we heard that this area was an ancient battlefield.
Among us workers, some of us who are particular about it are unlucky to dig up these ancient corpses, so they stopped what they were doing and asked me to report to the person in charge, but in fact, most of them think it's nothing, just dig it out and put it aside first.
I definitely had to report it, and then the person in charge came to the scene and organized us to dig somewhere else first, saying that it was waiting for the Cultural Affairs Bureau to come and read it, and then arrange what to do next.
In this way, we went to the place ahead, in fact, it was not too far, I felt that we could still dig up the ancient corpse, and sure enough, Li Youtian and I dug out an iron urn in that area.
At that time, the two of us were digging in one place, and everyone was scattered to work, and Li Youtian shoveled hard things with a shovel.
Sensing that something was wrong, he shoveled back and forth in the dirt with a shovel, and soon discovered that something was buried underneath.
We squatted down and cut the floating dirt open, and the outline of the thing at the bottom was revealed, it was an iron black and red lid with a very thick layer of rust on it.
