Inside the house, the old man was making tea. The tea had a very weak flavor, not the best tea, but it had a distinct fragrance.
After Qing Ge drank tea, the old man asked: "I held her in my arms when she was a child, and now she is so slim and graceful. She is still a majestic king. She deserves to be the daughter of General Ye."
Qingge glanced at the old man. The old man's face was kind, and he didn't look like a bad guy. Instead, he looked timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Maybe I have cremated too many people and seen many corpses. The old man has a unique temperament.
"Uncle Li, I want to ask about the mysterious totem that can transcend the souls of the dead."
Qingge put down the tea cup, put her hand on the old wooden table, and tapped her index and middle fingers to make a series of rhythmic sounds.
The old man's heart beat violently with this sound.
The old man was a little nervous.
He glanced at Qing Ge, and then quickly looked away.
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, Qing Ge was not in a hurry. He chuckled and said: "Old man, if people don't tell secret words, you are just afraid of something. As long as you have a clear conscience, I will never blame you. Of course,
, if you dare to tell a single word of lies, I will not mind pointing the butcher knife in my hand at an elderly man. Although you live in the suburbs and have nothing to do with the world, I kill people like nothing without blood.
You should have heard of it too.”
Qingge's tone was very calm and nonchalant, without any threatening meaning.
However, just such a gentle tone made the old man's temples beat wildly.
A heart filled with fear.
The old man suddenly trembled and knelt on the ground, lowering his head.
A cold light suddenly appeared in Qingge's eyes.
She stood up without haste, put her hands on the old man's shoulders, and gently lifted him up.
"Old man, you are a smart man, don't be afraid, I just want to ask for the truth, that's why I came to disturb you." Qingge said, helping Li Xin sit down on the chair.
Li Xin stood up again, walked to the cubicle, and took out a jar of wine.
Li Xin opened the seal and took a sip. His wrinkled cheeks turned deep red, and his white beard was covered with alcohol.
Drinking makes you brave.
Li Xin said: "Your Majesty, this matter has been pressing in the old man's heart. When General Ye's body was taken care of by me, I was also responsible for cremating it. If I could cremate these two important figures, it would be mine."
It's an honor, I'm very serious, but do you know what happened..."
"What happened?" Ye Wuhen asked.
Li Xin took another sip of wine.
He had very little strength, and his arms holding the wine jar were shaking a little.
However, only the potency of wine allowed him to reveal the secrets that had been buried deep in his heart for more than ten years.
After finishing the drink, Li Xin continued: "The corpses are gone. Two corpses disappeared. That night, I searched frantically, but I couldn't find them. Several of the guards guarding the corpses were also very shocked.
.”
Qingge pursed her lips.
Li Xin said: "I am the person in charge of the corpse. These two people have a lot of background. The corpse is missing. How dare I tell the nine tribes that I am punished? After that, I discussed it with several guards who knew about it and decided
Cover this up with a stratagem."
"I found Elder Ye and said that painting ancient totems on corpses can help the souls of the deceased to be saved. Elder Ye experienced the pain of losing his son and didn't think much about it. When he heard that it could help the souls be saved, he agreed." Li Xin stopped and said,
Take a sip of wine.
As he got older, his health was not as good as before. Li Xin choked on his drink, coughed, and cried out tears.
Qingge reached out her hand and patted his back gently.
Li Xin was flattered, "Your Majesty, I can't do it, I can't do it..."
Qing Ge had an expressionless face, a serious tone, and an indifferent tone, and said: "So, you found two corpses similar to my parents, painted totems on them, faked the real ones, and passed the test. After that, you will no longer be a cremator.
Soon, you changed your name and hid under the snowy mountains. Old man, am I right?"
Li Xin's expression changed drastically and he knelt down again, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am guilty."
This time, Qing Ge did not help Li Xin up, but asked: "Old man, I will pardon your innocence, but can you tell me about the situation before the body disappeared, for example, is there anything strange?
Makes you feel weird."
When he said this, Qingge didn't hold out much hope.
After all, it happened more than ten years ago. Even if there were any details, how could Li Xin remember it?
But what Li Xin said next made Qingge happy.
Li Xin said: "A very strange thing did happen at that time. Although General Ye was dead, his heart was beating. I secretly found a friend who was a doctor. The friend said that I was talking nonsense, but every time when people were quiet at night, I
If you stand next to General Ye, you can hear his heartbeat."
Heartbeat!
That's what living people have!
A bright light flashed in Qingge's eyes.
Li Xin secretly glanced at Qing Ge and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qing Ge was not angry.
Li Xin frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally made a move.
Anyway, he is an old man, with half his foot in the coffin. There are some things that make him depressed if he hides them in his eyes, so it is better to say them out.
The worst case scenario is death.
If it wasn't just his head falling off the ground, what would he, an old man, be afraid of?
Qingge asked: "What about my mother? Is there any sound of heartbeat?"
Li Xin shook his head: "Mrs. Ye is just like a normal deceased. Her limbs are cold and stiff, nothing abnormal."
Qingge frowned.
Now, after hearing Li Xin's words, she could conclude that Ye Jingfeng was still alive and in the realm of the gods.
However, what about Yan Bingtong?
She knew very little about Yan Bingtong.
She was also surprised and confused by the elf bloodline in her body and the cry for help from Yan Bingtong she heard in the Jialan Burning Moon Palace and the screen world.
She had an intuition that Yan Bingtong was still alive, but not with Ye Jingfeng.
All of this is trapped in a swamp full of mist and depth.
Qing Ge couldn't figure it out and had a splitting headache, so he pinched the center of his eyebrows fiercely.
Ye Wuhen sat quietly on one side, looking at the deep red marks on Qingge's eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Keep talking." Qingge said.
Li Xin said: "I also noticed something at that time. If I tell you this, if the king wants to kill me, I will not have any complaints."
"What's the matter?"
"That night, I saw General Ye's fingers move, but there was a heartbeat in front of me, and I didn't want to cause trouble, so I hid it. I always thought General Ye was not dead, but everyone thought he was. I
Just pretend it didn't happen, just treat him as a dead person, and after cremating him, everything will be over, but what I didn't expect was that the body would disappear, so that's what happened next."
At this point, the old man knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, please give me the death penalty."
The old man had been feeling guilty for more than ten years. At the moment when he told the truth, his soul felt extremely relaxed and he felt an unprecedented relief.
