12. Giant tomb

Erlang saw a group of subordinates sweeping away hundreds of catties of pork ribs, barking lowly, and the two thousand dogs stopped chewing.

Chen Qingtang handed over the piece of human skin in his hand to Erlang, who held it in his mouth, took two thousand subordinates, and quickly left the back street of the county office.

Lin Yiming looked at the amazing scene in front of him, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and he came to Chen Qingtang's face, and said with a look of admiration: "Dao Chang is really a god. ”

Childe teased. Chen Qingtang said with a smile: "If the murderer hadn't left the boundary of Wangshu County, he would have been able to find his hiding place without tonight." ”

"That's very good. Lin Yiming said: "I went to report to my father and asked him to arrange some manpower to follow the Taoist chief to arrest the murderer." ”

"There is Lao Gongzi. Chen Qingtang arched his hand and said.

When he was approaching, a Laipi dog ran back to the county office, found Chen Qingtang, jumped and jumped in front of him, roared and barked.

Chen Qingtang said to Lin Yiming: "Son, the murderer's hiding place has been found. ”

Lin Yiming was overjoyed: "I took ten servants and followed the Taoist chief to arrest the murderer." ”

Chen Qingtang hesitated: "Is Gongzi going too?"

Lin Yiming said with his hands in his hands: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it's a pity not to go and see the excitement." ”

"Okay. Chen Qingtang rode a little donkey and followed behind Laipi dog, Lin Yiming rode on a horse, with ten messengers, followed behind Chen Qingtang, a group of people carried torches out of the county, and went straight to the south of the city.

Erlang caught a glimpse of Chen Qingtang, stepped forward, and said respectfully: "Dao Chief, that monster has been found, and it is in this giant tomb. ”

"There's Lao Erlang. Chen Qingtang jumped down from the donkey and circled the huge tomb three times, only to see that the head of the tomb was more than eight feet high, overgrown with weeds, as if no one had worshiped for many years. Chen Qingtang picked up the weeds, found a hole with the thickness of a bowl, lit a torch, and shone into the hole, black rumbling, nothing could be seen, and when he raised his nose and smelled it, a strong smell of blood floated out.

Chen Qingtang glanced back at Lin Yiming. Lin Yiming understood, beckoned his subordinates, got off the horse, held various utensils in his hands, dug holes and dug graves, and after a while, dug out a tomb one zhang long and five feet wide, and a black leather coffin was placed in the middle. A bold official drew his waist knife and pried open a gap in the coffin lid, and everyone worked together to push the lid aside.

"Oh my God. Everyone was stunned by the scene in the coffin, only to see the four corners of the coffin with the internal organs of the deceased, and a middle-aged beautiful woman lying in the middle, wrapped in a human skin, the whole person soaked in an inch of blood.

"The internal organs, human skins, and blood of the three murdered girls are all here. Lin Yiming gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"The woman is still alive. One of the officers exclaimed, "Look, Childe, she's still panting." ”

The people held up the torches in front of her, and then the fire lighted, and saw that the woman's face was ruddy, her breathing was even, and her chest was lying together.

Lin Yiming held his chin, looked carefully, and said with some hesitation: "Look at it, is this woman a little familiar?"

When Childe said this, she was really familiar with her. An errand officer echoed: "This woman is very similar to Liu Xiaoqing in the troupe." ”

"Like her, indeed. The crowd chimed in.

Chen Qingtang asked, "Do all the officials know this woman?"

An official said: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, eight years ago, this little girl suddenly appeared in the opera team of Wangshu County, she played Cui Yingying in "The Story of the West Chamber", I don't know how many people were fascinated. When she was popular, the rich people in the city drank a bowl of tea with her for ten taels of silver, a meal cost thirty taels of silver, and a night of sleep cost a hundred taels of silver. She also seduced a middle-aged timber merchant and forced the merchant to divorce his wife, causing the wife to hang herself with hatred. In the past two years, people have grown old and decrepit, and there are fewer people who support her. ”

"Who do you say is old and decrepit?" the woman lying in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes.
