"As soon as the ghosts say it, you can chat in private, but don't burn paper and worship gods in the palace, disturbing people's hearts!" Tang Yin waved to several female guards and motioned for them to disperse.
The Wind King has spoken, and no matter how scared the female guards are, they do not dare to continue burning paper.
Several people bowed their hands to Tang Yin and were about to leave. Suddenly one of them opened his eyes wide and looked behind Tang Yin. His face was pale and his lips were trembling. He stammered: "Ghost... Your Majesty... there is a ghost!"
When a normal person sees the frightened look on the female guard's face, their first reaction would be to look back and see what happened behind them, but Tang Yin was suspicious by nature and stood there without even moving or looking back.
A quick glance always landed on the face of the female guard.
Tang Yin was as stable as Mount Tai, but Ah San and Ah Si did not have such determination. They both turned around and looked behind them, and they both subconsciously whispered: "Oh?"
After hearing their exclamations, Tang Yin slowly turned around, squinted his eyes, and looked up, only to see behind him, twenty or thirty meters apart, several groups of gloomy and cold clouds floating in the air.
Blue light, blue light is not bunched together, but scattered, floating in the air, swaying.
"It's a will-o'-the-wisp!" Ah San and Ah Si shouted in unison. As they spoke, the two of them stood in front of Tang Yin to protect him.
The female guards were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. They didn't care about Tang Yin and they couldn't help but retreat.
In the eyes of San and Si and the female guards, the erratic and weird blue fire was a will-o'-the-wisp, but Tang Yin knew that it was just a phosphorus fire and had nothing to do with ghosts.
However, things like phosphorus fire should not appear in the palace, but in the cemetery.
He impatiently pushed Asan and Asi away from him, and muttered: "What are you two doing in my way? If it's really a ghost, how can you two stop it?" As he spoke, he
Walk towards those groups of 'will-o'-wisps' without fear.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Ah San and Ah Si were afraid that Tang Yin would be in danger if he went over, so they grabbed his arm.
"That's definitely not a ghost. What are you two afraid of?!" Tang Yin threw away Ah San and Ah Si angrily and continued to walk forward.
Soon, Tang Yin walked up to the will-o'-the-wisp. He waved his sleeves to disperse the phosphorus fire in the air. Then he looked around for a long time, then lowered his head, rubbing his chin and thinking silently.
This is a large open space with a lot of weeds growing on the ground. Relatively speaking, the weeds here are much denser than elsewhere. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, this is a claustrophobic place in the palace, and there are few people.
It's normal to come over and sort it out.
Tang Yin looked around for a while, then kicked the ground hard under his feet, then turned around and shouted: "Ah San Ah Si!"
"The end...the end will be here!" Asan and Asi swallowed their saliva and walked forward quickly, but a slight tremor could be heard in the voices of the two of them talking.
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at them and said, "Call more people over, bring tools, and dig this place out for me!"
Ah San and Ah Si were stunned, and asked in a low voice: "What does your Majesty mean... is there something fishy underground here?"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, but he was not very sure. He said, "If there is anything fishy, we will find out if we dig out it. Go quickly!"
"Yes!" Ah San agreed and ran back quickly.
At this time, the female guards had calmed down a lot. The Feng King walked up to the will-o'-wisp without thinking about anything. Presumably even if there was a ghost, it was not an evil ghost. In other words, even if it was an evil ghost, it would be affected by the Feng King's aura.
Calmed down.
Several female guards came forward cautiously, looked at Tang Yin timidly, and asked: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang, what on earth is going on here?"
Tang Yin smiled calmly and said, "I'll find out what's going on in a minute."
Ah San had not been away for long when he found hundreds of Fengjun guards. The two leaders were none other than the two new commanders of the guard camp, Su Wan and Zeng Die.
Both of them are female generals, promoted through military conscription. Since the guard battalion is responsible for protecting Tang Yin's safety and is permanently stationed in the palace, and there are too many female relatives in the palace, it is more convenient to use female generals as the commanders of the guard battalion.
.
After Su Wan and Zeng Die saw Tang Yin, they both saluted and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
Tang Yin signaled the two of them to get up, pointed at his feet, and said: "Let the brothers dig up everything here to see what is buried underground." In fact, Tang Yin could guess a rough idea without even looking.
Su Wan and Zeng Die did not dare to ask further questions, so they followed Tang Yin's order. They ordered the guards to dig up all the lawns in this area.
The guards were all puzzled. They didn't understand why the king suddenly wanted to dig up this place. Could it be that there were treasures from the Mo Kingdom buried here?
Military orders are like mountains. The king has orders, and they can only obey them. The guards took off their armor one after another, rolled up their arms and sleeves one by one, picked up shovels and pickaxes, and began to dig the ground. Hundreds of guards started working together, and they moved quickly.
It didn't take long. It didn't take long to dig a large pit more than one meter deep in the ground. But it was already more than one meter deep, and nothing was found underneath. Not to mention treasures, not even a piece of broken copper or tiles was found. The guard
They grinned secretly, wiping their sweat while looking at their bosses, Su Wan and Zeng Die.
Su Wan and Zeng Die were both considerate of the hard work of the brothers below. They looked at each other, walked up to Tang Yin, and whispered: "Your Majesty, we have dug almost half a foot deep, do you want to continue digging?
"
"Dig! Of course we have to keep digging!" Tang Yin raised his head and said without even looking.
Su and Zeng had no choice but to order their guards to continue digging deeper.
When the dig was about to reach two meters, the guards in the pit suddenly screamed. Immediately afterwards, a dozen people scrambled out of the pit in a panic. When they got outside the pit, they knelt on the ground and vomited.
The expressions of everyone standing outside the pit changed. They didn’t know what was going on inside. They stepped forward quickly and asked, “What’s going on?”
A guard in the pit stammered: "Return...report to the general, there are...there are corpses, there are many...many corpses..."
"Ah?" Su Wan and Zeng Die were shocked. The two of them squatted at the entrance of the pit. At the same time, they looked into the pit with the torches in their hands and took a closer look. Isn't it true? Through the light of the fire, it was vaguely visible that there was something rotten at the bottom of the pit.
Black remains.
I can't tell how many there are exactly, but judging from the number that was dug out, there seemed to be quite a few. There were seven or eight black skulls alone.
How come there are so many corpses buried in the palace? Who did this? Su Wan and Zeng Die stood up in a hurry. They looked at each other. The latter took out a handkerchief, tied it on his face, and bravely jumped into the pit to check.
After all, Su Wan went to report to Tang Yin.
When Tang Yin heard that a large number of corpses were dug out of the pit, he was not surprised at all. Things like phosphorus fire cannot appear for no reason. Normally, they will only decompose when human or animal corpses decay.
Burning in the air. He was curious about the identities of these people buried under the palace. He raised his head to Su Wan and said: "Keep digging! Dig out all the remains and find out their identities and how they died.
of."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Su Wan responded bravely, then walked back to the pit and directed the guards to continue digging.
They made such a big noise here, and soon everyone else in the palace heard about it and rushed over, including Ling Shuang, who had just fallen asleep.
Surrounded by a group of maids, Lingshuang walked up to Tang Yin with sleepy eyes and asked in a confused voice: "Brother Wang, why are you so busy here if you don't sleep late at night..."
Before she finished asking, she saw the guards outside the pit working together to pull the rope. After pulling the rope, they looked at the other end and saw a rotten, riddled and blurry corpse tied up.
Lingshuang had never seen anything like this in her life. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She subconsciously grabbed Tang Yin's arm. Her two already big and round eyes opened wider and rounder now. There was no trace of sleepiness on her face.
Tang Yin glanced at her helplessly. Originally, he didn't intend to let Lingshuang see these things, but she had to come to join in the fun.
He raised his hand, touched Lingshuang's eyes, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I just accidentally found some dead people buried in the palace."
How could Lingshuang not be afraid? There were dead people buried in the ground where she ate and slept. Thinking about it made people shudder. She let Tang Yin's big hand cover her eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "This...
Brother Wang did this?"
Her first reaction was whether Tang Yin had killed all Shaofang's orphans and buried them in the palace. After hearing this, Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked: "Am I like this in Wang Mei's heart?"
Is it unbearable?"
After Lingshuang said what she just said, she regretted it and realized that she had made a mistake. We had only occupied Mo Palace for a few days. In such a short period of time, people could not have rotted so badly. Furthermore, if it was really Tang Yin who did it,
How could he exhume the body in such a big way now?
"I'm sorry, Brother Wang, it's Sister Wang who is confused." Lingshuang changed the topic and asked again: "Who are they?"
Tang Yin didn't pay much attention to Lingshuang's unreasonable accusation just now. He shook his head with a smile and said, "I also want to find out who they are."
As time goes by, the sky gradually turns white. Looking outside the pit, there are already two hundred corpses dug out. They are placed on the ground in several rows, some are large, some are small, some are male and some are male.
female.
Now there is no coroner in Fengjun, so they can only call in the coroner from Mo Ren in Zhenjiang City for autopsy. Because the body has been buried for too long, it has been severely decomposed, and the clothes and pants are difficult to identify, and there are no identification marks on the body.
, even the police could not find out their identities. They could only confirm that some died of trauma, some were poisoned, and some were buried alive. Among the corpses, there were both older people and those under ten years old.
The child, judging from the degree of decomposition, should have died a year ago at the latest.
