King Qi and Di Weiming came to Yizhuang. The old man guarding Yizhuang did not know King Qi or Di Weiming, but seeing that both of them were very richly dressed and had brought their entourage, he did not dare to neglect and lit incense first.
At the corner of the door, he led the two of them in.
Di Zhongliang's body was placed inside. Because the Yamen had specially told it, incense was never cut off under the bed board, and some money was also scattered. The money was trampled to pieces and stuck in.
Inside the soil, it looked a little desolate.
The light in Yizhuang was dim, so he lit an oil lamp, but the illumination was not very clear. The old man lifted up the quilt and sprinkled lime on Di Zhongliang's face. In fact, he could not see it clearly. "Master, please check it out. Is there anything wrong?"
?”
Di Weiming stood in front of the corpse, took a condescending look, and nodded, "Yes, that's right."
The old man was startled, "Why don't you look more carefully?"
Di Weiming turned around and said, "Don't look at it. A white-haired person giving a black-haired person will cause great pain in the world. How can you stand a closer look?"
The voice was full of dull pain, but the face showed no change and was extremely forbearing.
The old man said: "Well, if the identity is correct, then I will bury him first. Has the coffin been delivered?"
Di Weiming said calmly: "No need, just wrap it up in this quilt, someone will carry it away."
King Qi was a little surprised, "Didn't you prepare a coffin? Since we are going to take him back for burial, I think he will bury the coffin here first without nailing the coffin, and then do some repairs when he goes back..."
Before King Qi finished speaking, Di Weiming said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't bother, just roll him away like this. His assassination of the prince is a serious crime. It is already his blessing to have the body wrapped in a quilt."
The old man didn't know his identity until he heard King Qi calling himself the prince. However, it was the first time he heard that a corpse was carried away without a coffin, and he was dressed so richly.
The old man didn't dare to ask, so he just stepped forward and rolled up the quilt. Di Weiming ordered someone to come in and said, "Take it back."
The two men stepped forward and lifted Di Zhongliang's body. Although it was covered with lime and rolled up in bedding, the body had already begun to rot before it was handled. When it was moved, it gave off a stinky smell that filled the capital of King Qi.
Somewhat nauseating.
After leaving Yizhuang, the old man stood guard outside, waiting for Di Weiming to mount his horse. He bowed and took a handful of incense in his hand to hand to Di Weiming, but Di Weiming didn't even look at the old man.
He glanced at him, scolded him and walked away, then rode away without even saying a word to King Qi.
The old man was startled for a moment, then looked back at King Qi. King Qi was also wondering, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the old man, "Take it!"
The old man was overjoyed to see the broken silver and threw the incense, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Most people would only give fifty coins to identify a corpse, but this is money. After all, it is the prince, so generous.
King Qi looked at Di Weiming in front and the carriage pulling the corpse, and couldn't help but sigh. Di Zhongliang was a filial man. He didn't expect to end up in such a bleak way. He didn't even have a coffin all the way back. Listen to Di Weiming's words,
There will be no coffin for burial.
He rode his horse back to Jingzhao Mansion. Yu Wenhao was still reading information in the government office. When King Qi returned, he sat down and was dazed. Yu Wenhao asked: "Why are you still dazed? Didn't you take them all back? Are you still worried about this?
Are you worried?"
King Qi said: "The leader took him back, but it was so miserable that he didn't even give him a coffin."
Yu Wenhao put down the information and was a little surprised, "Is Di Weiming so ruthless?"
