Chapter 155: The Bronze Tripod in the Tomb
And his official deeds were also written into the book "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" by an adult named Ji Xiaolan.
Among them, this secret case is included.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder.
The whole story seems to have nothing to do with Liu Ye's loss of official hat.
But what Liu Ye said next made me break out in a cold sweat.
After listening to Liu County's order and becoming a big official, he was always concerned about the case in his heart, and sometimes he couldn't sleep and eat.
Even in his daily dreams, he could see the four monks and Taoist priests, kneeling and begging him to find out, saying that as long as their bones were dug up, he could learn the truth about the mystery of the year.
But Liu Qianzhong struggled to be in a high position, and he was valued by the emperor, and he couldn't get out of his body all day long.
happened to be in the court one day, and the sixth prince Yinzuo said that he was going to Jizhou Weifu for a private visit, so that Liu Qianzhong, a scholar of the palace, would accompany him.
When Liu Qianzhong heard that this was a great opportunity, he immediately accompanied him, without even hesitating.
The reason is simple.
As a scholar of the Imperial Court, he knew the affairs of the court and China.
When I entered the palace, I knew that Yinzuo, the sixth prince, was very playful and didn't love the government, and this private visit to the micro-service was probably just to find a reason to go out of the palace to relax.
So, Liu Qianzhong pretended to be unintentional and told Yinzuo about it on the road.
As soon as Yinzuo heard that there was such a mysterious case, he immediately decided to investigate it himself, which was in Liu Qianzhong's arms.
After arriving at the Shuangta Village back then, Liu Qianzhong found that the village had changed greatly, and the original village of less than 200 people has now grown to thousands of people.
His deeds of returning to his hometown also quickly alarmed the local county officials, and he immediately invited a good student to his home for hospitality.
As for the sixth prince, he did not let Liu Qianzhong reveal his identity, but only said that he was a sword-armed guard beside this palace scholar.
When Yoo Qian-jong came, he told the local prefectural order the purpose.
When the county magistrate and the master heard this, they praised Liu Qianzhong for being sympathetic to the people, and hurriedly asked how to investigate, and they would cooperate.
Liu Qianzhong naturally decided to dig up the four corpses according to what he saw in the dream and find out.
But the trouble is that a few years have passed, the village has changed a lot, and Liu Qianzhong only remembers that the body was buried in the northeast of the former temple.
However, the temple has long been demolished because there is no one to worship it, and only the general direction is known.
If you want to dig up those four corpses, I am afraid it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.
Liu Qianzhong was a little hesitant for a while, but due to the insistence of the sixth prince Yinzuo, the project still began.
It lasted for half a month, and the soil in the village was also turned over.
Finally, the four bodies were found.
So the truth, has it appeared?
It really happened.
After the four corpses that had long been turned into white bones were found, the head catcher of the local yamen discovered a shocking secret.
It turns out that under the temple, there is also a large tomb of the previous dynasty!
Under the Buddha statue in the main hall of the temple, there are two or three robbery holes, which lead straight to the main tomb, and the method of digging the hole is extremely professional, without destroying the main body of the tomb.
As soon as Liu Qianzhong heard this result, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately sent people to dig out the entire tomb.
As for who the owner of the tomb was, there is no way to find out.
But judging from the degree of prosperity, at least it is also a relative of the emperor, and the funeral goods in it are all valuable and exquisitely crafted.
But what does this have to do with the deaths of two monks and two Taoist priests?
With such doubts, Liu Qianzhong entered the tomb with the six princes, not only found the tools of ancient tomb robbers on the way, but also found a yellow talisman on the wall, with three big characters written on it.
"There is a grave!"
These three big characters are written in pavilion style!
Here is a brief introduction to the "Pavilion Body".
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a font specially used to obtain fame, which could only be used in the examination room, called "Taige Style", which was deeply valued by Zhu Di.
The pavilion body is upright and formal, horizontal and vertical, the knot is graceful and elegant, and the grace is moderate.
After the Qing Dynasty, the font of the examination room was characterized by jet black, square, smooth, and so on, and was restructured from "Taiwan Pavilion Style" to "Pavilion Style".
Liu Qianzhong was a veteran who could tell the source of the font at a glance, and combined with the yellow fu to guess, I am afraid that it was left by the two Taoist priests.
Walking here, this scholar of the palace vaguely felt something.
I never thought that when I continued to lean in, an even more terrifying scene appeared.
Due to the peculiar structure of this burial chamber, it is divided into the front room, the east ear room, the west ear room, and the east side room, the west side room and the back room.
Except for the clean in the main room, only a half-person high bronze tripod was placed.
In the rest of the rooms, there were a lot of white bones and rotting and stinky corpses.
In total, there are about 30 people!
On the walls, there are a lot of bloody handprints!
The headhunters who entered the tomb together were extremely meticulously observed, and after a few glances, they found that all the white bones had no heads.
At this time, the sixth prince who walked to the main room came with a shout.
Liu Qianzhong quickly led people there, and found that there were more than thirty heads in the bronze tripod of the main room, surrounded by a bronze sword.
This kind of scene is really shocking.
Everyone looked at each other.
It is obviously the main room where the owner's bones are stored, but there is no coffin, but a bronze tripod, so who is this tomb built for?
For the bronze tripod?
Are you kidding?
The six princes Yinzuo, but they could tell at a glance that the bronze tripod was made in the palace, and there were exquisite carvings of the Nine Dragons playing with pearls on it.
Liu Qianzhong read the books hard, and he also saw at a glance that the bronze sword was made in the Qin Dynasty.
When the peer was surprised, he quietly said: Could it be that the owner of the tomb came back to life and used this bronze sword to cut off the heads of more than 30 people?
As soon as these words came out, people were panicked.
Divine and ghost things have always been taboo.
What's more, there is also a dragon vein in the palace here, and you must not talk nonsense at will.
Liu Qianzhong immediately made a decision and asked the yamen to block the tomb, and at the same time listened to the instructions of the six princes, preparing to move the bronze tripod engraved with the Nine Dragons Opera Beads back to the court.
Dragon-related artifacts are not allowed to be circulated among the people.
Liu Qianzhong is not stupid, and has arranged all the aftermath.
As for the truth of the case, a reasonable explanation is also given: presumably, neither the Taoist priest nor the monk are real Buddhist people.
They are all here to rob this tomb!
As a result, because of the triggering of the mechanism in the tomb and the intervention of many tomb robbers, he ended up with a tragic death.
The Taoist priest and monk, most of them, died in the well because they didn't have time to escape.
Despite this, this argument is flawed.
But, in every way, logical.
The local county government also chose to close the case, and everyone was happy.
But just when Liu Qianzhong, the sixth prince and others were about to leave in a sedan chair, it suddenly rained heavily for seven days and seven nights in Shuangta Village.
Jizhou, which had been dry for several years, was hit by a rare flood for a thousand years.
