Chapter 1405 Wujiaxiang
The figure remained motionless, as if he could not feel anyone approaching. As everyone approached, they suddenly discovered that this person was wearing the same clothes that Quanfu had worn last night!
What is even more frightening is that there is an old copper basin placed in front of Quanfu. At this moment, Quanfu leans forward and dips his head into the basin in a prostration posture. The basin is full of water.
Judging from the rigor mortis, it had obviously been dead for some time.
As the light of the mobile phone gradually extended, in front of Quanfu were rows of densely packed tablets of different sizes. Several rows of wooden shelves were installed on the wall in the corner, and the rows of tablets were Place on the shelf.
Looking at these gloomy tablets, combined with Quan Fu's posture, the fat man couldn't help but have an idea in his heart. It seemed that Quan Fu came to many tablets to apologize because he had done something wrong.
Drowning yourself alive in a copper basin the size of a washbasin is a horrifying way of committing suicide.
Jiang Cheng stepped forward, and after a brief observation, he lifted Quan Fu’s head out of the basin by his back collar. Surprisingly, Quan Fu’s expression before his death was not only without any fear, On the contrary, he was very peaceful, as if death was not a pain for him, but a kind of relief.
Looking at the memorial tablet on the wall, and then at the state of Quan Fu's death, the uneasiness in Fatty's heart became more and more amplified, "I was fine when I left last night, how could I not be there all night?" You just can’t think of committing suicide?”
“Of course not. It was suicide. Look at the water on the ground." Jiang Cheng crouched down and looked at the large puddle of water under the body. "This copper basin cannot contain so much water. He carried it away from the ghost road last night. A ghost, that ghost killed him.”
This was an obvious question, and everyone then focused their attention on the tablets in the corner. The number of these tablets far exceeded the number of corpses in the Yi Zhuang, and there were hundreds of them.
And what’s even weirder is that these tablets are all empty, with no surnames, and there are no incense, candles, offerings or the like around them. They look very shabby.
"This is not a mourning hall for these corpses. These tablets have been placed here for many years, and these corpses have all died recently." Li Bai approached the tablets and lowered his voice involuntarily, "These tablets are for the backyard. It was prepared by those people inside, General Guo, and the wife of Zhennan Hou.”
Because it is related to the old affairs of the previous dynasty, it makes sense that we dare not engrave our names.
Tang Qisheng suddenly stretched out his hand to grab a pair of tablets on the edge. The next second, he was stopped by Yao, Shunyu, and Yao, Shunyu grabbed Tang Qisheng's wrist and asked: "What are you going to do?"
The placement of these tablets here was obviously abnormal. If they were moved rashly, they might cause big trouble. However, Tang Qisheng shook off Yao, Shunyu's hand and said, "Don't interfere if you don't understand. There are differences between these tablets. The one on the left These are made of dark wood and are quite old. The tablets in the remote location on the right are made of ordinary wood. The materials are old, and they are relatively new, and they cannot have been put up for more than a year."
Soon, everyone realized that Tang Qisheng was right. Jiang Cheng took out a tablet on each hand, and they looked very similar. , but the feel and texture are obviously different. The tablets on the left hand are heavier and more textured, and there is a cold feeling in the hand, while the tablets on the right hand are lighter.
"What is this?"
Under the light, a handwriting was revealed behind the tablet. It was the relatively new tablet, "Wu Yuhuan, Wujiaxiang, West of the City." The fat man looked at it The words were read out.
This sounds like a woman's name. Jiang Cheng took a few more tablets with different textures. Most of the tablets had words after them. After comparison, he made a preliminary judgment, "These tablets on the left are written with The materials are all dark wood, These are the innocent souls in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and these new tablets seem to be servants or maids who died in the Hou Mansion in the recent period. If we come later, Quanfu's tablets will also appear here. .”
Staring at the tablets of different sizes, the fat man nodded with sudden realization, "No wonder these tablets have different specifications. I'm afraid they are also sorted according to their rank in life, just like the tombstones we saw in the backyard. ”
Among these tablets, the largest and most powerful one is naturally that of General Guo. This tablet is also in the highest position. After taking down the tablet, the text behind it also confirmed their guess: Zhenjun The mighty general Guo Shaotang.
Then Jiang Cheng took down another tablet next to General Guo's tablet. According to assumptions, this tablet second only to General Guo should be the wife mentioned by Zhennan Hou.
But as the tablet turned over, a surprising scene happened. The back of the tablet was actually empty, with no words on it.
"Strange, these tablets have the names of the deceased behind them, even the maids and servants. Why doesn't the wife of Dudu Zhen Nanhou have a name?" Zhu Jie asked with a frown.
Jiang Cheng put down the memorial tablet and recalled the scene in the backyard of the Yin Mansion. On the tombstones made of lightning-struck wood, the tomb of Zhennan Hou’s wife only had the words “Tomb of the Dead Wife” written on it, and no name was mentioned either. Even the last name was written on it. It doesn’t make sense that General Guo, who was taboo, had his name left on him, but why his beloved late wife refused to leave her name on her tomb.
"Is this name a taboo?" Zhang Qizheng is old and has extensive experience. In ancient times, there were some words that conflicted with emperors, and their use would be taboo.
But Li Bai interrupted him with one sentence, "No, what name is more taboo than General Guo's name?"
Although there was no discussion about the reason, everyone was worried about it. The curiosity of the Marquis's wife became even more intense. This man once worshiped a master as his disciple, and he could find the right opportunity to annihilate General Guo and other disciples. Although he died on the spot in the end, he was by no means an ordinary person who could do this. .
Of course, the premise is that Zhennanhou did not lie.
Just when Jiang Cheng was about to put these tablets back, Tang Qisheng seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly said "huh?" and then took the tablets in Jiang Cheng's hand. One was the tablet of Mrs. Zhennan Hou, and the other was the tablet named Wu. Yuhuan's Woman, after comparing the two pieces for a long time, Tang Qichang took a long breath and said, "This Wu Yuhuan is not a maid in the mansion. She is also the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan, but she is not the main wife, she should be a concubine."
< br>The fat man blinked and looked Holding two tablets, he couldn't see any difference from the other tablets, "How did you know? Even my concubine could see it?"
Tang Qisheng calmly held the two tablets, Pass it to the fat man and say, "touch it yourself" , is there a piece missing from the lower right corner of the tablet? "
Jiang Cheng moved faster than Fatty, and when he touched it carefully with his hand, he noticed the difference. It was in the thickness of the tablet. A corner is dented on top. (End of this chapter)
