    Not far to the west outside the city is a barren hill. Most of the rebels who were killed by the court after the rebellion case of King Wei were buried here.

    Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can feel the severe chill.

    The Yacha came forward and said: "My lord, according to the document, it is probably here, but this place is too big, do we really want to dig it?"

    Huang Qinghe nodded firmly: "Dig."

    The yamen officer was a little worried. My lord did not investigate the case to dig up the corpse of the traitor. I don¡¯t know if he would be caught and questioned. Moreover, there are so many dead people here, how can we finish digging.

    "Just dig a grave where more than a dozen people were buried together, and the burnt corpses are also easy to identify," Huang Qinghe said, looking at the old assistant beside him, "Thank you for your hard work."

    The old servant was very indifferent: "It is our duty to do these things," he said, looking at Mrs. Chang next to him, "not to mention that I have helpers."

    "Okay," Huang Qinghe added a bit of confidence, "Everyone, take advantage of the dawn to do it quickly."

    Not far away, Xu Qingan stood there with his sister.

    Xu Qing'an said: "Master Huang is really a rare and good official. The Zhang family threatened him like that yesterday, and he brought people to investigate the case. It's really unusual."

    The more Xu Qingan looked at Huang Qinghe, the more pleasing he was: "Next time I find a chance, I will treat him to fried small fish."

    Xu Qinghuan couldn't help smiling, he didn't expect his brother to know Huang Qinghe's tastes so well after just one meal: "My brother doesn't think Master Huang is nice, but he is afraid that he will cause trouble in the future and bring trouble to Shuntian Mansion.  Willing to care about personal feelings"

    Xu Qing'an smiled awkwardly and flattered her: "Sister, are you thirsty? Brother, I'll get you some water. I'll just keep an eye on it. What are you going to do here? How hard it is."

    Before Xu Qinghuan could speak, the fat bird on her shoulders suddenly twitched, all the hair on her body stood up, her eyes looked at Xu Qingan, and then she opened her beak with a disgusted expression.

    "Brother, how many corpses can you find?"

    It was getting late.

    Huang Qinghe and his men dug up a lot of bones, but none of them looked like they had been burned by the fire.

    Yachai whispered: "Would it be rotten after many years?"

    "No," Wu Zuo shook his head, "If Master Huang said, there are a total of more than a dozen corpses, and it is impossible that no traces were left."

    "What could be the reason? The place where the corpse is buried is recorded in Yizhuang." Huang Qinghe looked around and couldn't help frowning. Where did he make a mistake.

    "Here is a piece of straw mat that hasn't rotted away," Mrs. Chang carefully took the straw mat out of the pit, "The other corpses that were dug up also had such straw mats on them."

    Huang Qinghe walked over to check, and it was indeed so: "Yizhuang often uses this kind of straw mat to wrap corpses, but there are no bones left here. Why? It may be that Yizhuang made a mistake."

    The identity of the traitor who was burned to death in the Taoist temple is unknown, and no one came to restrain him. Where did the corpse of the traitor go?

    Huang Qinghe sat there thinking, and the Yacha continued to check whether there were still funeral cemeteries around.

    "There's no need to look for it." Huang Qinghe stood up.

    The yamen servants all heaved a sigh of relief, the adults finally thought about it, and we can call it a day and go home.

    "Go to the place where the doctor's family's bones are buried," Huang Qinghe said, "I can't find it here, and there may be clues in those."

    He didn't want to disturb the dead, especially the innocent Lang Zhong's family back then, that's why he started with those traitors who were burned to death, but now he can't find the corpses of the traitors, which also proves that his guess may be right, many years ago  There is something really strange about that case.

    "Going to dig a grave?" Yacha shouted.

    Huang Qinghe said: "Dig, dig again." Maybe he will have an answer this time.

    Mrs. Chang cleaned her hands, and asked Meng Lingyun to lead her to Xu Qinghuan: "I didn't find the body, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the place Master Huang led the people to look for."

    Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Every burial in Yizhuang will be recorded, and if it can be matched with the documents in the Yamen, it will prove that the bones were indeed brought here.

    As for why there is no more, maybe the tomb of Langzhong's family can give a clear answer, and maybe it is very likely that this is the situation at present.  "

    Madam Chang's eyes lit up: "Miss, what do you mean, there is no body in the doctor's family's grave?"

    Facts have proved that Xu Qinghuan's guess was correct.

    The coffin of Langzhong's family is still there, but the corpse?? But there is no trace.

    The yamen servants were all stunned there, maybe someone stole the corpse.

    "My lord, why is this?" Yachai said, "Could it be that none of them were buried?"

    The old Wu Zuo denied this statement: "There are still some black things left in the coffin, which seem to have fallen from the corpse, which shows that the coffin was indeed filled with bones."

    Huang Qinghe said: "It is impossible for the person presiding over the funeral to bury a few empty coffins."

    "There is a dead body here." Yacha shouted, and everyone walked over to have a look.

    There was indeed a black corpse in the coffin. Although the corpse was curled up after being burned by the fire, it could still be seen that the person in front of him was tall and should be a man.

    Yachai said: "This is the tomb of Langzhong's apprentice."

    "Strange," Huang Qinghe frowned, "Why is this corpse still here?" What secret was revealed in it.

    "Excavate the graves of the servants who were burned to death to see if the bodies are still there."

    Yacha looked at the darkened sky, said a few words "Amitabha", and turned to look for the grave.

    Huang Qinghe simply sat on the rock and frowned and thought about it.

    Mrs. Chang and Lao Wuzuo inspected the body of the doctor's apprentice and confirmed that this person was burned to death. The body was burned and buried for many years. Although there were still many wounds on the bones, it was impossible to determine whether the wounds belonged to the deceased.  Left during life, or formed after death.

    The Yachai dug up another corpse, which was a servant of the doctor's family.

    Huang Qinghe ordered the bones to be transported to Yizhuang, and Wu Zuo and Mrs. Chang will inspect them again tomorrow morning.

    Although the whole case is still confusing, Huang Qinghe feels that he has checked the right direction and solved the mystery in front of him, and maybe he can find out the case of Master Sun Er.

    Huang Qing and Xia Ya returned home, but soon he was restless, the case could not be investigated clearly, his heart was burning, and when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of the charred bones and the old woman's meaningful expression.

    Could it be an unjust case more than ten years ago.

    Huang Qinghe seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly put on his outer robe and went out to Yizhuang

    In Yizhuang, Mrs. Chang is still sorting out the paperwork, but this time there is one more person beside her.

    Xu Qinghuan disguised herself and followed Mrs. Chang to inspect the two corpses. After looking at them, the two were about to leave, but they didn't want Meng Lingyun's voice to come from the door.

    "The little one came to pick up Mrs. Chang back."

    Huang Qinghe nodded, opened the door and saw that Mrs. Chang had packed up the autopsy equipment.

    "Why are you here at this time, my lord?" Mrs. Chang looked calm and indifferent as usual.

    Huang Qinghe sighed: "Anyway, I can't sleep, let's take a look again, it's getting late, my lady, go back!"

    Mrs. Chang responded, and left with the servants beside her.

    When Mrs. Chang walked out of Yizhuang, Huang Qinghe suddenly frowned. Mrs. Chang had been walking alone all along, and she had never seen anyone come to take her back, and she was accompanied by a petite servant.

    Thinking of this, Huang Qinghe chased after him in a big stride.

    "Wait a minute," Huang Qinghe stopped Mrs. Chang, "may I ask who is next to Mrs. Chang?"

    Madam Chang, who was about to get into the carriage, stopped.

    Huang Qinghe ran a few steps to the front of the carriage.

    "My lord," Mrs. Chang simply got out of the carriage, blocking Huang Qinghe's view of the carriage, "Do you find it strange why only two bodies were found?"

    These words undoubtedly attracted Huang Qinghe's attention, and Huang Qinghe's face showed doubts: "Why?"

    Madam Chang said: "Perhaps because these two corpses are useless."

    Huang Qinghe frowned.

    Mrs. Chang continued: "The corpses will not disappear, they were obviously dug up and taken away, the reason why these two corpses are left is because they don't want them.

    The two corpses looked tall, with relatively thick bones, and they were men at first glance.

    Among the lost corpses were the doctor, the doctor's wife, two children, and a serving woman. It can be inferred that the bones that were taken away should be relatively petite, and they looked like women or children.  "

    Huang Qinghe said: "But the doctor is also a man."

    Mrs. Chang said: "So my lord should ask someone to find out what the doctor's body looks like. If the doctor is not tall, ordinary people will naturally not be able to tell whether the corpse is a man or a woman.

    If what I just said is correct, then several useful clues have been revealed.

    First, the bones of the people who died that year may be mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish their identities.

    Second, among those who died, there were people who were familiar with them who survived, or relatives and friends, or people who cared about them. After the events of the year passed, they dug up the bones and reburied them.

    Third, if someone leads the adults to discover these clues, it means that this matter is related to the case that the adults are investigating.

    What I said is just speculation. Whether it is the truth or not depends on the results of the adults' inquiries.  "(Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com)The bones of many people are probably all mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish their identities.
