Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - Altar of Prudence Chapter 44: Yelin Yizhuang

Utuman's eyelids twitched slightly, and he simply shook his head and denied: "I'm an old man, how can I know these people, but I've seen them die like this from other places." ”

"You've seen it, can you tell us about it!"

Song Siyuan wanted to know what such a terrifying death was called.

Now, they were grasshoppers on a rope, and Utuman pointed at the corpse with a dagger and spat out a term unknown to everyone: "Tie Jia Guan!" ”

"Ah Weng, what is the post plus official, don't sell it!"

Ah Ying was also curious about the title of this punishment, and urged the old hunter to hurry up, he coughed lightly a few times, and his tone became mysterious: "This is a kind of capital punishment in the former dynasty, which is specially used to deal with officials, or prisoners who cannot be tortured!" ”

At the beginning of the execution, the criminal officer will prepare more than a dozen pieces of mulberry yellow paper as thin as cicada wings, if there is a prisoner, he will remove the yellow paper and cover the prisoner's face, and then the criminal officer will take a sip of water in his mouth, this water is not for drinking, they will spit evenly on the yellow paper.

Once the yellow paper is wet, it will immediately become soft and stick tightly to the prisoner's face, so that the prisoner has no way to exhale and breathe.

This kind of punishment is nothing like Ling Chi's scraping, it is a trick to torture people, very few people can survive to the fifth, if they don't confess after five, they will definitely be suffocated to death, at this time, the criminal officer took off the yellow paper, as if he had taken a mask.

"Uncle Utuman, how can you know so much!"

Yue Guanchao followed his words and continued to probe the details of this old hunter.

Utuman seemed to realize that he had said too much, and explained with a cold face: "People are old, and the things they have experienced are almost as much as the salt they eat, and they must know everything, this kind of torture has been lost in the Republic of China, and I didn't expect to encounter it here, which is also rare." ”

After listening to his introduction, Song Siyuan looked at the corpse again, can it be an ordinary person who can be suffocated to death by the post plus official!

She looked at Yue Guanchao: "We search them, maybe we can know the identities of these people, maybe they are the old hunters who were accidentally killed!" ”

Yue Guanchao had this intention, pulling open the dirty cloth strip and groping on them.

These corpses have been weathered and decayed, and at the slightest touch, they feel that there are meat residues and bones falling, coupled with the natural fear of corpses, they search very slowly, but unfortunately there is nothing on the corpses, and naturally they cannot prove their identity.

"These damn things, they don't even have a copper plate!"

Yue Guanchao kicked the wooden stake with his foot, and the sackcloth of the corpse was shaken off, and most of it was hung outside, which made people's appetites surge.

He was about to rummage through the next one, Lu Fengjian took a closer look at the back of the corpse, and immediately stopped him: "Guanchao, look at the back of these corpses, there seems to be some pattern." ”

This sentence made everyone's eyes light up, and they all looked at the back of the corpse.

Song Siyuan was afraid that she couldn't see clearly, so she turned on the flashlight and shone it on his back.

The sky was already dark, and the skin and flesh of the corpse were also dried and wrinkled, so they couldn't really see anything strange about it, but as the flashlight illuminated the corpse, the pattern on the back of the corpse was revealed.

The tattoo on the back of the corpse occupies half of the back, the left and right green dragons and white tigers, the upper and lower vermilion birds, and the fine lines of mountains and seas in the middle, and a big "gold" character in the middle.

This pattern, he has seen on the wolf tooth necklace given by his second uncle!

Yue Guanchao suddenly realized, and he already knew the identity of these people in his heart: "These corpses should also be Tang Dianrong's subordinates, but they are not Tang Dianrong's old battalion soldiers, but genuine bandits in Jinqi Village!" ”

Ah Ying remembered the hallucinations they had collectively seen, and said casually: "Brother Yue, are these bandits also tortured like this because they have done bad things. ”

"It's possible, but we haven't found any evidence yet, we have to go into the Yizhuang Ancient Building to have a look!"

Yue Guanchao already likes to break the casserole and ask the end, he walked into the Yizhuang Ancient Building and looked around, where hundreds of coffins were displayed, and the number was so large that everyone gasped.

"Come and see, why are all the coffins sealed here?"

He walked a few steps to the empty hall, and noticed these dark coffins, it stands to reason that in a place like Yizhuang, there will be a few empty coffins for the people who died here to temporarily store their remains, but the coffins here, no matter how big or small, are all stamped to death by coffin nails!

Utuman's eyes stayed on the lid of the coffin, and his expression became gloomy: "Only when the coffin is sealed and buried does it need to order a coffin, and there may already be corpses in these coffins." ”

Regarding Utuman's speculation, Yue Guanchao also felt that it was not groundless, he shook the coffin placed on the two horizontal stools with both hands, and it was really heavy!

"Give me a pickaxe and a hammer!"

These townsmen were yelled at by Yue Guanchao, and they stood in place without saying anything, it stands to reason that shovels and hammers are also weapons, and I don't know if they should be given to him.

Utuman bowed his head to them slightly, and they reluctantly handed the shovel and hammer over!

Ding dong, the hammer is pulled.

With the help of Ah Niu and Ah Hu, Yue Guanchao opened the copper nails on the coffin lid one by one, and pushed it violently with his hand, which really loosened.

He wiped his sweat and looked at everyone: "I'll put the ugly words in front of me first, there may be something in the coffin, if you cheat the corpse, you run out, don't be confused." ”
