Chapter 19: Bullying the Dead and Not Speaking

A pile of bits and pieces was placed on the table, but no one dared to touch them.

Liu Sha said in a trance: "Xiao Ye, what are you...... Where did you get it? ”

"That's what I said, Lin Ling's grave." Ye Caitang said: "Well, you see that the food is still fresh, and the incense has not been burned yet." I watched the worshipper burn it, but I didn't think much about it at the time, so I didn't go up to see who he was. By the time I saw Lin Ling's name, the man had already walked away. ”

"It's not." Liu Sha collapsed and said, "I didn't mean that. ”

Ye Caitang was puzzled, what does Liu Sha mean?

Liu Sha trembled and said: "I mean, this is for worshipping the dead, isn't it good for you to bring it back." ”

When it is really a ghost and a god, it is not taboo, but this is too taboo, even if the six doors are already a place without taboos, they will not pull sacrifices from the front of the human grave.

"It doesn't matter." Ye Caitang said: "I said hello." ”

The more Ye Caitang explained, the more outrageous the feeling became, and even Xia Yue couldn't help but say, "Who did you say hello to?" ”

"Lin Ling, it's the owner of that tomb." Ye Caitang said: "And her neighbor also gave me a witness." ”

The crowd was silent.

In the silence someone asked, "Did they agree?" ”

How do you say that? Ye Caitang thought about it, and tried his best to be realistic: "It's a tacit approval, anyway, no one objected." ”

The cemetery is full of dead people, who can object, so is this considered acquiescence?

Everyone took a breath.

Ye Caitang also felt that everyone's complexion was a little bad, and said comfortingly: "It's nothing, I'll bring some sacrifices over tomorrow and make up for them." One bowl of rice makes up for two bowls of rice, and one ingots makes up ten ingots. ”

Everyone is reasonable, and we are also in pursuit of justice, so we must not account too much.

The door was open, and a gust of wind blew outside, and the tattered paper money on the table was blown up and swirled twice in the air.

"Hey, I almost flew." Ye Caitang grabbed it quickly, put it neatly on the table, and then pressed it with a bowl.

If it is an empty coffin with nothing in it, then the worshippers are most likely murderers. Everything here is evidence, and from them you may be able to find clues about the murderer.

Liu Sha couldn't help but say: "Even if you find out, you just come back and tell us, there is no need to bring back the sacrifices in front of the grave." ”

"That's not good, I'll come back empty-handed, what if you don't believe me?"

Ye Caitang said quite reasonably: "Besides, if there is any change in that tomb during the time I come back, or if I can't find the owner, I can also use these things to find someone." ”

The bowls and chopsticks of each family are different, the paper money ingots folded by each family are also different, and even the incense and candles of each family are different, in short, it is impossible for Ye Caitang to return empty-handed and run away.

Xia Yue had finally seen the world, and calmed down and said, "Put these things away first, you eat first, and then go to the household with me after eating." ”

Ye Caitang nodded again and again.

Everyone in this era is also registered in the household register, and death, even if it is old age or illness, needs to be reported to the government.

The mass grave she passed by today belongs to Xiaogang Village, as long as you check it in the household registration book of the household department, you can know whether there is a person named Lin Ling in this village, and which household this Lin Ling belongs to, even if the news of death has not been reported yet, it will be easy to check tomorrow.

Although he went to a mass grave, it didn't affect Ye Caitang's appetite at all, but he was really hungry after running all afternoon.

The kitchen quickly served a large bowl of rice, a plate of fish-flavored eggplant, a plate of tamales, and a bowl of minced meat and egg custard.

It looks like it's all leftovers, and there is no leftovers, especially the egg custard, and it's clear at a glance whether it has been passive.

Ye Caitang snorted and ate a large mouthful of steamed pork, which was fat and thin, and the taste was excellent.

She instantly felt that she could forgive Xia Yue for everything, and she could also ignore overtime at night and no overtime pay.

The six doors are regular visitors to the household, and even at night, the doors are open for them.

In this era, everything is manual manpower, and checking information is the most time-consuming and laborious thing, but someone is easy to do, Xia Yue took the master of six doors, and the household department also sent someone to assist, and soon checked the population of Xiaogang Village.

"Your Excellency." The master said: "There are a total of 120 households in Xiaogang Village, a total of 645 people, and there is no woman named Lin Ling. ”

There was no Lin Ling in Xiaogang Village, Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang, and the faces of both of them sank.

In that case, this Lin Ling's new grave is really likely to be empty, just a clothed mound. Because there is simply no other Lin Ling who needs a grave.

Xia Yue pondered slightly: "Check all the villages around Xiaogang Village." ”

After all, digging a grave is a big deal, digging a grave is not a knock on the door, it is not a last resort Xia Yue is not willing to do this thing, if there is really someone inside, then this matter will be a big deal.

In the middle of the night, the surrounding villages found three people named Lin Ling, old and young, but they were all alive and well.

Xia Yue threw the list to Liu Sha: "Go and find out what the situation of these three people is now, if they are all alive and well, the coffin will be opened tomorrow." ”

Liu Sha took the list, and he was still a little worried in his heart.

"My lord, what if, I mean, what if this one comes out and there really is someone in it?"

Then they will definitely be beaten to death by the families of the deceased.

Xia Yue said lightly: "Then tell the bitter master, this place is not good, I will pay him to find Mr. Feng Shui, change to a place with good feng shui, and I will pay for the coffin in the cemetery." ”

Liu Sha gave Xia Yue a thumbs up and left in a hurry.

My own adults are really vigorous and thoughtful.

Ye Caitang followed Xia Yue back, talked about today's events on the way, and listened to Xia Yue talk about the situation found out by Liu Sha and Wang Tong by the way.

Liu Sha had already arranged for someone to pluck the lotus leaves in the lotus pond of the Meng family's old house, but he still hadn't found the deadly black silk.

Wang Tong also checked the relationship between the Meng family and the buyer Lu Waibei, of course, there are those who are not in harmony, but there is really no serious enough to kill people, and there are alibi proofs.

"Maybe tonight's grave is a breakthrough." Ye Caitang had a vague feeling: "I always feel that the figure of today's worship is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere." ”

But it was probably really a passing shoulder, a glimpse, so no matter what Ye Caitang thought, he couldn't think of a clearer picture.

Xia Yue took into account the mood of his subordinates, and on the second day, he specially found a feng shui gentleman, followed the instructions, brought sacrifices, and went to the mass grave to prepare to dig the grave.

The villages within a radius of ten miles of the mass grave have been checked, and every Lin Ling is alive and well, and no one needs this grave.
