173 digging graves

After investigation and evidence collection, as well as the testimony of the two clansmen and village chiefs who participated in the Guo family and the division of the family at that time, it can also be proved that Guo Guanlin's property is now robbed of his brother Guo Guansen and his wife.

After An Chuxia grasped these evidences, she called Guo Xiujuan and his wife to the yamen and asked them what they wanted to do.

Situ Feng looked at his daughter-in-law, it was obvious that this was the Guo family's business, and he listened to his daughter-in-law.

Guo Xiujuan's face was sad and resentful, and her voice was a little hoarse and said: "Everything is judged according to the law and adults!" ”

Is it to believe in her, or to believe in her, to be able to handle it impartially.

An Chuxia frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Guo Xuexue, how was your health when your parents were alive before?" ”

Guo Xiujuan was surprised when she heard An Chuxia ask this, but she still replied truthfully: "I have always been in good health before.

It's just that the second uncle failed in business, and after moving in with the family, he often messed with his father and mother because of some trivial matters.

After a long time, my father and mother were always angry because of these things, and their health slowly became bad.

In the end, because the second uncle wanted to tie up, Chen Xiancheng, who was in charge of Wei County's affairs at the time, wanted to give me to his rogue nephew as a concubine, and my father and mother died soon after being angry~"

Speaking of this, Guo Xiujuan choked up several times, she was already in tears, crying silently, Situ Feng patted her daughter-in-law's back distressedly, and comforted her carefully.

An Chuxia waited for Guo Xiujuan's emotions to calm down, and then said: "It is said that since your parents have always been in good health, they should not die so easily, have you ever thought that they were victimized." ”

Guo Xiujuan raised her head suddenly, her tearful face was full of disbelief.

His lips trembled, and he said, "My lord......"

An Chuxia looked at her with a shallow look in her eyes, and said without much emotion in her voice: "This official is just guessing, if you want to know whether your parents were killed, you must open the coffin and conduct an autopsy to find out."

When you go back, think about whether you want to do it or not, and tell me when you think about it. ”

Guo Xiujuan stared at her stunned eyes, the light slowly dimmed, and she looked at her husband.

Situ Feng hugged her in the crook of his arm, and said in a rough voice: "Do you want to find out the cause of death of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, you go back and think about it before making a decision." ”

Guo Xiujuan lowered her head and slowly raised it, her red and swollen eyes gradually became firm, and her hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out of between her teeth: "My lord, I want to know how my father and mother died." ”

Hearing this, An Chuxia knew that Guo Xiujuan agreed to open the coffin for an autopsy on her parents.

"Okay, then you go back and prepare, tomorrow the official will take someone to open the coffin and check the cause of your parents' death."

After Situ Feng left with Guo Xiujuan, An Chuxia asked people to call Du Lengshuang and Zhu Tiehua.

"Your Excellency!" Soon, Du Lengshuang and Zhu Tiehua walked in and saluted An Chuxia.

An Chuxia sat in the office lobby, looked at Du Lengshuang and said, "You go back and prepare, and tomorrow you will go to Guozhuang Village with the official to open the coffin for an autopsy." ”

"Yes, sir!" Du Lengshuang said respectfully.

Don't look at Du Lengshuang's usual extremely cold appearance, she has rectified the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Wei County since An Chuxia, and she has a lot of recognition and admiration for An Chuxia's county order.

An Chuxia turned his head to Zhu Tiehua and said, "Tomorrow, you will take someone to change into your regular clothes and follow all the people in the county's medical halls and medicine halls."

If you find something suspicious and want to pack up and escape, I will be caught red-handed. ”

"Yes!" Zhu Tiehua replied.

Du Lengshuang heard An Chuxia's arrangement, thoughtful, and then his eyes lit up, and he looked at An Chuxia with admiration.

After the two retreated, An Chuxia looked at Zuo Wang, who had been following her, and said, "You will go to Guozhuang Village tomorrow before we set off."

spread the news that the government was going to Guozhuang Village, and the dead landlord Guo Guansen opened the coffin for an autopsy. ”

"Yes, sir."

Wang Libin sat on the side of the office, looking at Senior Sister An, who was becoming more and more majestic, and also showed admiration.

The next day, early in the morning.

An Chuxia took Du Lengshuang, who was carrying an autopsy toolbox, and twenty or thirty officials from Weiyun City, and headed towards Guozhuang Village.

As long as someone asked, the officials who were instructed would answer truthfully, and with the spread of Zuowang, it was not long before the whole county knew about it.

When the shopkeeper of Shengda Pharmacy in Wei County heard the news, he couldn't sit still.

At this time, he not only couldn't sit still, but even his legs trembled a little, and finally raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

Then he hurried towards the backyard where he lived.

His wife, Lu Shi, saw him walk in in a little panic, so she asked, "You weren't watching from ahead, why did you come back at this time?" ”

The shopkeeper said impatiently: "I'm going to go far away, you give me the money at home, and go back with some medicinal materials by the way." ”

"Didn't I just get a batch a few days ago, why do I have to take medicine again." Lu Shi muttered incomprehensibly.

"If you want to get it, go quickly, where is so much nonsense." The king's treasurer glared angrily at his wife.

Lu reluctantly walked into the bedroom of the two.

An Chuxia brought people to Guozhuang Village, and the village chief here was informed by the villagers, so he hurried over and took the villagers to kneel down and salute An Chuxia.

"Your Excellency!"

"Get up!" An Chuxia said.

She looked at Guo Xiujuan and his wife and said, "... Lead the way! ”

In the early summer, they came to the place where Guo Guansen and his wife were buried, waited for Guo Xiujuan to finish worshipping, and just ordered someone to excavate.

I saw Guo Guanlin with a group of people, and hurriedly came up to stop it, saying that even if An Chuxia was a county official, he had no right to dig the grave of their Guo family.

Guo Guanlin turned his head and looked at Guo Xiujuan viciously: "You, the unfilial daughter of the Guo family, have fornicated with others before marriage, and have been removed from the family." What right do you have to bring someone to dig up the grave of my eldest brother and sister-in-law. ”

Guo Guanlin said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

"That's it! You, a daughter who has been removed from the family and has already been married, what qualifications do you have to dig up and bury in the ancestral grave of the Guo family. ”

"It's just..."

“… That's right! Some members of the Guo family said one after another.

Guo Xiujuan's face was full of tears, and she also looked at her second uncle with scarlet eyes, and her voice was hoarse.

Or said: "I want to ask my father and mother to understand, I want to know why they died."

I am my father's only son, and even if I am removed from the clan, I am still my father's daughter.

According to the laws of Tanglin, only I am the most qualified to do this, even if the clan relatives can't stop it. ”

Guo Xiujuan's eyes were scarlet, she looked firmly at the official holding the tool, gritted her teeth and roared: "Dig for me!" ”

The official looked at An Chuxia, and after seeing her nodding, he pushed away the people who were blocking them and continued to dig.

"I see which of you dares to dig!" Guo Guanlin threw himself in front of the grave and picked it up.
