Chapter 427

While Situ Qiao was speaking, Li Qiufeng kept staring into his eyes.

Since Li Qiufeng arrived in the capital, he was recommended by an elder who became an official and worked as a clerk in Jinyiwei. He has been working in Nanzhen Fusi under Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei is divided into two towns, South and North, including North Town Fusi.

Responsible for the cases that the emperor personally ordered to investigate and deal with, there was a prison, and he could arrest, torture, and execute on his own without having to go through the approval and verification of the Three Laws Division. The Three Laws Division was the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which were in charge of punishment and supervision. In the Ming Dynasty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate

The Procuratorate has great power. It can not only supervise the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, but also has the power to "report major matters and make decisions on minor matters." However, the Beizhen Fusi is not subject to the jurisdiction and supervision of the Three Laws Division. Although everyone in the world

Thought that Jinyiwei's power was so powerful, in fact, the officials and people in the imperial court were so frightened that it was only the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town who feared him like snakes and scorpions.

Nanzhen Fusi is not in charge of investigations, arrests, tortures, executions and other matters. He is only responsible for the internal legal and military discipline of Jinyiwei. He is also responsible for patrolling and guarding various palaces in the palace. In terms of power, Nanzhen Fusi seems to be far inferior to Beibei.

Although the Zhen Fu Division is responsible for supervising the North Town Fu Division, the North Town Fu Division only executes cases ordered by the emperor himself. Therefore, the leader of the South Town Fu Division will never dare to give instructions on the North Town Fu Division's handling of cases.

.However, Li Qiufeng joined the Jinyi Guards and was responsible for extremely secretive tasks. Therefore, he often made excuses to visit Beizhen Fusi. He was very familiar with Beizhen Fusi's set of detection, arrest, and interrogation methods. Beizhen Fusi Interrogation

In addition to being tortured to extract confessions, suspects are also very good at observing their facial expressions. Many times, you can tell whether a suspect is lying just from his eyes.

Li Qiufeng also learned these powerful interrogation techniques of Beizhen Fusi, so he kept staring at Situ Qiao's eyes, trying to judge whether he was lying. However, although this man was a little panicked when he spoke, there was no ordinary lie in his eyes.

The time was uncertain. Li Qiufeng once saw the captured tomb robbers put on trial in Fusi, Beizhen. Among them was Luo Sixi, the robber who robbed the ancestral tomb of Zhang family, a wealthy family in Hejian. Luo Sixi's tomb robbing skills were unparalleled in the world. It is said that he only smelled something with his nose.

If you smell it, you can tell whether there is a large tomb underground. This man has great martial arts skills and is extremely cunning. People in the world call him "Slippery". He was captured by Si Yamen, the prosecutor of Shaanxi, Henan and Shanxi provinces.

, interrogated him, but because they could not get any evidence that he had committed the crime, he had to be acquitted in the end. Luo Sixi was so proud that he went to the capital to commit crimes, and was spotted by spies from Jinyiwei North Town Fusi. After he sneaked to the river

When the Jianfu robbed the Zhang family's ancestral tomb, he was captured by the masters of Fusi in Beizhen and taken to the capital for trial. Although he denied it in every possible way, he was finally caught by the Jinyiwei Baihu who were investigating the case, and he had to plead guilty and be punished. At that time, Li Qiufeng was ordered to

The leader of Nanzhen Fusi ordered him to sit in court and observe the trial, which benefited him a lot. So at this time, he carefully observed Situ Qiao's words and deeds and judged that this person was not lying or deceiving.

But I heard Situ Qiao say: "After I ran into the stone coffin, I was afraid that the ghosts would catch up, so I threw the torch back with my backhand. After I entered the stone coffin, I quickly turned around and leaned against the stone coffin with my back.

On top of the wooden coffin inside, he was breathing heavily. Although the entrance of the stone coffin was built like a portal, it was just much smaller than an ordinary door. If the entrance was guarded, no matter how high the martial arts of the enemy outside was,

It was difficult to break into. After I escaped into the stone coffin, I just turned around and saw that the entrance was so small. I was relieved. I thought that as long as I guarded the entrance, I could resist for a few hours. But then I thought about it.

These people are all ghosts, and it is easy to get into the stone coffin. Thinking of this, I feel like I have fallen into an ice cellar, and my body actually starts to tremble.

"After throwing the torch in my hand, it happened to land in front of Li Xianhui, Wu Yanji and the man in rich clothes. Therefore, with the light of the torch, I could see the situation in the tomb very clearly. I saw more than ten people in golden armor.

The warrior held his long sword in his hand and was about to approach the stone coffin. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves had reached the door of the tomb. After a moment, only silhouettes of people were seen flashing, and several people on horseback rushed into the tomb.

"I was so frightened that I didn't know why there were knights in the mausoleum of Princess Yongtai. When I saw the situation of those riding horses clearly, I was even more surprised. I saw these horses dressed in red and green, brightly decorated, and they immediately

The knights were dressed in strange clothes and wore high hats with peacock feathers on the top of their hats. These knights had big beards, high noses and deep eyes, and they did not look like the characters from the Central Plains.

"I looked at these people and horses, and the more I looked at them, the more strange they became, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. Just when I was surprised, I saw the knights on the horses jumping off their horses one after another, and bowing down to Princess Yongtai and the other three people.

When these people were riding on the horse, there was no problem. After they jumped off the horse and compared with Princess Yongtai and others, I immediately knew what the problem was. It turned out that these people were much smaller than normal people.

, they are not short, but small..."

The more everyone listened, the more bizarre they became. Everyone stared at Situ Qiao with their eyes wide open. But they heard Situ Qiao say: "Only then did I know why I felt something was wrong after these knights entered the tomb. It turns out that I entered

Before the back tomb chamber, we carefully inspected the eight ear chambers on the left and right. In the ear chambers, we saw many male and female equestrian figurines, Hu cavalry figurines, warrior figurines, tomb-suppressing beasts and various animal figurines. The one who rushed into the tomb chamber was

Hu cavalry figurines. These Hu cavalry figurines are much smaller than ordinary people, so they can ride horses in the tomb passages and tomb chambers. I didn't expect these human horse figurines to come to life. I thought I was dreaming, so I hurriedly bit the tip of my tongue.

I felt a sharp pain in my tongue and a salty taste in my mouth. I could still clearly see the barbarians kneeling down to worship Princess Yongtai, and knew that this was definitely not a dream. It was just that the situation in front of me was too weird, and I was even more panicked.

"I saw those warriors in golden armor had drawn their long swords and were slowly approaching the stone coffin. I knew the situation was not good. In desperation, I turned my body sideways and crawled inside along the gap between the stone coffin and the wooden coffin.

Go in. This stone coffin is made according to the shape of the living room. Although it is extremely narrow, you can still get in. To make you laugh, at that time I was like a bereaved dog or a fish that slipped through the net. As long as there was a gap, I would get in.

Do you care about anything else? I dug deeper and deeper, and finally reached the end of the wooden coffin.

"I thought to myself that the Princess Yongtai in the tomb must not be alive. If she is a ghost, I wonder if there is still her body in the wooden coffin. I often hear people say that if a ghost is at work and the body is destroyed,

When a ghost loses its body, it will be gone. Now that I am in danger, I might as well fight to the death and open the wooden coffin. If there are the bodies of Princess Yongtai and his wife, destroy them. Maybe there will be a chance of survival. Think of this.

, I inserted a steel claw into the gap in the wooden coffin, and lifted it hard. I heard a loud "click" sound, and I had pried the coffin lid open.

"At this moment, I suddenly heard a very shrill scream coming from outside the stone coffin. Although the sound was not very loud, it was sad, angry and shrill. When I heard it, my heart broke. I knew that the situation was not good.

, biting the tip of my tongue hard. Under the severe pain, my mind felt clear for a moment. I flicked the steel grip of my right hand hard, and the coffin lid had been pushed aside and hit the stone coffin, making a loud noise.

There was a sound. I put my head on the coffin, and through the firelight coming from the entrance, I saw two corpses lying side by side inside the coffin. The two corpses were covered with brocade quilts, but the muscles on their faces were rotten and dry.

It was all clean, with only two skulls left. The four ghastly eye holes stared at me blankly. I was so scared that my legs weakened and I almost fell into the coffin.

"At this time, the shrill screams outside the stone coffin had stopped, but a very subtle singing voice came in. The singer was a woman, and her voice was full of sorrow. She could only be heard singing: '...Princess Fa Yao

The light of the platform, the fragrance of the bead-bearing trees...the clear and bright light...the sound of the jade flute, entering the colorful clouds and never returning, how sad...when will the eternal life dawn?'

"As soon as the song started to sing, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my body slowly stiffened. I knew that if I delayed it, I would definitely fall into the poisonous hands of these ghosts. So I raised my heart and stretched out the steel claw in my right hand.

I entered the coffin, inserted it into the throat of the corpse on the left, pulled hard, and immediately lifted a human head out of the coffin. I threw the head out of the coffin. Then I threw another head out of the coffin.

The head was hooked out and thrown to the other side of the coffin.

"After the two heads were taken out, the tomb suddenly began to tremble. I crawled to the entrance of the stone coffin, only to see the torch lying in the middle of the tomb, but there were no traces of Princess Yongtai and others. I was heartbroken.

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly got out of the stone coffin, walked to the center of the tomb in a few steps, grabbed the torch on the ground, and saw a few piles of colorful sand on the ground. My heart shuddered, remembering that this was the same place as before.

Where the famous Hu knights were standing, it was unexpected that these Hu knight figurines turned into sand.

"At this time, the tomb was shaking more violently, and it seemed that the whole tomb was about to collapse. I originally wanted to take off the round stone on the top of the tomb and take it away, but something happened suddenly and I was no longer allowed to stop at this time.

So I ran away to the outside of the tomb. In my busy schedule, I even glanced at the stone wall. I saw Princess Yongtai in the mural looking at me with a spiteful face. I was so scared that my legs weakened and I almost fell down again.

On the ground.

"When I woke up, I was already standing outside the mausoleum. The moon and stars were sparse in the night sky, and the cries of crows could be heard from time to time. Thinking of what happened in the mausoleum, it was like a big dream. Looking at the tomb again

There was no sign of the door being opened. I stood in front of the tomb door and carefully recalled the situation in the tomb. For a moment, I didn’t know if I had really entered the tomb. It was already midnight, in the wilderness.

There was a whimpering sound in the wind, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes watching me in the grass everywhere. I didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly left Princess Yongtai's Mausoleum and went to a farmhouse outside Xianyang City to stay overnight. I originally planned to make a good move.

I was preparing to visit Princess Yongtai's Mausoleum again. Unexpectedly, I couldn't even get out of bed early the next morning. I knew that I was seriously ill, so I had to pay the farmer to see a doctor. I was ill for more than half a month and almost died.

I lost my life in Xianyang. Until my condition improved, I no longer dared to stay and hurried back to the capital. In the following years, whenever I mentioned Wu Zetian's mausoleum, I felt frightened..."

When Situ Qiao said this, Xu Chenghe said: "If it is according to what Mr. Situ said, if we destroy Yao Guangxiao's body, can we disable the mechanism in this hall?"

As soon as Xu Chenghe finished speaking, everyone involuntarily looked towards the huge ebony coffin. At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a flash of lightning above their heads, followed by a sound of thunder, and the whole hall seemed to shake slightly.

one time.
