The man he called the second housekeeper quickly looked over.
Several guards who were also digging hard with shovels soon found something wrong.
"There are really hard things!"
Without hesitation, the housekeeper said: "... Dig it out!"
The "hard object" is not a small object. The guards first tried to explore the scope before they called more people to dig it together.
As a shovel of earth was dug aside, the object buried about six feet underground gradually revealed its original complete outline.
The housekeeper looked slightly changed and immediately went to the study.
"Sir, dig out something..."
Xia Tingzhen asked solemnly, "what is it?"
"It looks like... It looks like a coffin," whispered the housekeeper.
After a low cry of surprise, Li Ji hurriedly said: "... Is there a coffin buried? Is there anything there?"
"I haven't opened the coffin yet..." the housekeeper looked at Xia Tingzhen with questioning eyes.
Xia Tingzhen stood up and strode out of the study.
Li Ji followed.
The Taoist standing by the pit gave a salute and said, "look, Lord Xia, this is the source of the evil spirit!"
Xia Tingzhen looked down into the pit.
There is indeed a coffin lying in it
However, unlike ordinary coffins buried, the coffin in front of us is not only wrapped with chains, but also painted with gold symbols. Looking at the color changes everywhere, it is obvious that it will not be buried here overnight.
Xia Tingzhen's eyes sank.
Originally, he was still thinking that except for Xu Ying's case, other changes were deliberately planned and arranged by someone through Xu Ying's case, including the so-called "evil spirit", which was purely out of thin air.
Before the excavation, he specially ordered people to inspect the conditions in the garden and found no trace of being moved.
What was dug out in front of us can't be temporary hands and feet!
The second son watched the expansion of the yard in person
No one but himself can hide from everyone's sight and bury such a coffin here!
Therefore, someone's plan is true, and the second son's business is also true
I just don't know when I was secretly caught, until the matter of Fengtian hall was naturally lifted out!
"Open the coffin."
Xia Tingzhen closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she calmly ordered.
"Wait a minute." the Taoist said at the right time, "there is a lot of resentment in this coffin. It's very inappropriate to open the coffin rashly. I'll suppress one or two first, and then I'll open the coffin before it's too late."
Xia Tingzhen nodded and agreed.
"As the master said."
The things to be done were already ready. Soon a servant brought incense tables, censers, braziers and other things.
Looking at the Taoist priest who was concentrating on his practice, Li Ji nodded in his heart.
The servant girl and her servant looked away and dared not approach.
It never occurred to them that they could really dig something out.
And a coffin!
When several servant girls in the yard thought that they always like to run to the garden in ordinary days, they all looked like earth and were shocked.
The Taoist put away his wooden sword and signaled that the guards could start.
In fact, the practice just now is not of much use.
Wu Shisun never told him to do so.
The reason why he chose to do this was that he saw people in the palace and wanted to take the opportunity to add more drama to himself - people live in the world, and opportunities are won by themselves!
The guards bravely went into the pit. After cutting off the chain, they raised the coffin cover together.
The dim yellow light sprinkled into the coffin, and groups of unknown reptiles quickly climbed and swam around.
At the same time, there was a pungent smell in the coffin.
Seeing the situation in the coffin, a guard couldn't help but scream, and several people quickly climbed up.
There is a corpse in the coffin.
The face was long unrecognizable, but it could still be inferred that it was a woman.
In addition to being full of pearls and emeralds, the female corpse was obviously wearing a wedding dress.
The bright red color has not completely faded, the gold thread embroidery on it is still eye-catching, and the clothes and skirts are spread layer by layer in the lower layer of the twilight, showing strange and gorgeous.
"Well... He was still wearing a wedding dress when he died... No wonder the resentment is so heavy!"
Li Ji stepped back as if frightened. Supported by several small eunuchs, he shook his head and dared not look at it again.
"There is a soul locking array next to the coffin." the Taoist slowly said, "the soul locking technique also needs to imprison the souls of the dead in the puppet. At this time, when the body sees light, you need to find the puppet as soon as possible -"
Xia Tingzhen said coldly to the Housekeeper on her side, "be sure to find things."
The housekeeper immediately summoned people to search all over the yard.
Looking at the servants going in and out and looking around, Xue couldn't sit still.
Not long after, under the guidance of the Taoist priest, a servant found the dark grid in the study.
Soon, the box in the dark box was found.
"Madam... They actually found a wooden man in the second master's study!"
The woman rushed into the hall and whispered to Xue.
Xue's face changed greatly. Ignoring the usual rules, he hurried out of the main room and went to the garden.
"Master!"
Xue said anxiously, "someone must have put it in han'er's study in advance to plant and frame han'er! Master must find out for han'er!"
Li Ji is still there. She can't let han'er carry this inexplicable crime!
Xia Tingzhen finally took a look at the note with Xu Su's name and birthday under the wooden man in the box.
The handwriting of the second son is not so bad as to admit his mistake!
"Give this evidence to the people of Beijing yamen." Xia Tingzhen closed the box and handed it to the Housekeeper on his side.
"... sir!"
Xue almost cried out.
Sir, is this to be true!
When she wanted to say more, Xia Tingzhen raised her hand with a gloomy face and slapped heavily on her left face.
"Up to now, you still want to cover up the evil barrier! If you hadn't indulged and spoiled him, he would have gone the wrong way!"
Xue was staggered for two steps. Fortunately, the servant girl on one side helped him in time to stand firm.
"...." Xue opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound. For a moment, he just looked at his husband in a daze.
After decades of being a husband and wife, the master did it to her for the first time, not to mention in front of so many servants and outsiders
Shame and anger came second. At this time, there was only one voice in her mind - Master, she was determined to push han'er out!
What will her han'er do?!
"In that case, we'll go back to the Yamen first." Li Jiquan didn't see it, sighed slightly and said, "I believe Lord Ji has his own judgment."
"In the final analysis, the culprit of this matter also lies in my improper upbringing." Xia Tingzhen said: "I went to the Yamen with Grandpa Li to deal with this matter -"
