Chapter 129
Wang Yan took the guards down the dirt pit and walked to the dug brick wall, and couldn't help but feel happy.
After deciding to explore the place, he borrowed some tools from Feng Tai and used a pointed iron knitting with a length of continuous length to drill the nearby ground. As a result, in addition to finding a few corpses, he also found a few feet underground near the old Pu family house.
No one's foundation or cellar can be so deep.
The guards drew the drawings, Wang Yan picked up the pen and concluded that there must be a secret room below.
Where to dig?
Wang Yan thought for a moment and ordered the guards to expand the well and dig from the bottom of the well to the diagonally straight downward.
Now, the brick wall dug out in front of him proved that his speculation was correct.
This brick wall is very rough.
The bricks on the walls vary in size, like they come from bricks built by other people's houses in yards. They are very different from the tomb bricks. The bricks and mud in the middle are very uneven, and many bricks are not flat.
Ordinary people should not be so careless when building walls in courtyards.
The soil taken from the ground and the soil layer buried in the brick wall was presented on the left and right. Wang Yan grabbed a bunch of soil that sealed the brick wall and twisted it.
There are a few yarns in the soil.
There are no trees planted here, and the grass roots cannot be so deep. These roots must be in the soil when the brick wall was sealed, and the roots have not been completely melted, so the year should not be too long.
Wang Yan took the cloth handed over by his entourage and wiped his hands.
"This wall must have been temporarily sealed by some people after they came out of the ground. When they were dug up, there must be a passage behind them."
The guards took the order and rushed to the brick wall excitedly.
Wang Yan said again: "Be careful, don't collapse, be careful of one or two inequality mechanisms."
The guards immediately said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Assistant, the humble one will never be injured by some crude things and lose face to the Ministry of Justice."
Wang Yan called another servant: "Go back to the county government and ask Mr. Lan to come over." As soon as the servant received the order, Wang Yan added, "It may not be possible to clear the places to be viewed here for a while. You can wait in the yamen first. When the dawn, Mr. Lan will get up by himself and have nothing to do, please invite him to come over."
The servant bowed repeatedly: "Young people understand. Please rest assured. You must wait for Mr. Lan to rest. After using the meal, please invite him here."
Wang Yan nodded. A county yamen runner knelt on his side and said to the guards of the Ministry of Justice: "Zhu, sir, before digging, should you... put some incense first and burn some paper..."
The guard shouted: "What a mess? Our Ministry of Justice investigates the case and never engages in such a god-like thing!"
The yamen runner bowed repeatedly: "It's the young people who are wrong. Before, on the top of the mountain, the magistrate asked the monk to recite scriptures..."
The guard scolded again: "When we follow our minister to handle the case, why are you afraid of demons and monsters? Why didn't you see you so ridiculous when you dig a well just now?"
Wang Yanyao raised his hand: "Forget it, I'm afraid that these stupid things will be lenient when poaching the wall later and delaying the matter. The headquarters will follow the customs." He ordered him to carry a small table left and right to the brick wall, light a candle, and put a bowl in a little soil on the table.
There was actually a yamen runner carrying incense with him, and immediately offered it to him. Wang Yan took three incense sticks, lit them, held them with both hands, facing the brick wall.
"Take incense as a respect, and the words lead to the void. Wang Yan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, wanted to open the wall because he investigated a case. If there is a tomb behind the wall, there is a spirit in the tomb, you must listen well. If the tomb is not to dig out your tomb, your tomb has been opened. Now it is opened again to help you get the thief. It is natural to investigate and collect evidence. The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the affairs of the department, and you don't need to thank you. If you are angry, unintelligent and unintelligent, you must agree with me. If you want to argue, you can come to me directly. In life, there will be death, sooner or later, before or after. Regardless of the underworld, there will be doubts, you will be able to resolve it. If there are injustice and confusion, you must also prove your innocence!"
Always say it, insert the incense into the bowl.
“Excavation!”
Lan Jue and Zhang Ping arrived at the file library.
In the moon gate of the courtyard, the wings where files are stored on both sides are on, and the hall in the middle is even brightly lit.
Several tables in the center of the hall were put together, with white paper on top, and piles of booklets neatly stacked. Xie Fu and several minor officials stood up next to the case and saluted.
Lan Jue asked everyone to calm down. Zhang Ping took out the "Qingwu Jing" from the pile of books, then unfolded the county map now and during the Chu Dynasty, and finally took out the plain silk "Yi Yangzi" painted by Liu Tongyi.
Lan Jue said: "What are you asking Taoist Master Wumei to help you find these?"
Zhang Ping put the county map during the Chu Dynasty on the top and pointed it at a certain place with his fingers.
"Xiaguan wanted to find out what the murderer in this case was looking for. This is the terrain of the county in the late Chu Dynasty. Cishou Village is here."
He unfolded the silk again.
"This silk is also the topographic map of Cishou Village. Master, senior brother, please look at these hexagrams."
Lan Jue lowered his eyes and looked at it: "There are no Gan, and the two hexagrams."
Wumei grabbed his chin: "Compared with the topographic map, this is the innate hexagram. If there is no stem or Kan, it means there is no south or west, no sky or water. Moreover, the stem is the ultimate yang, and Kan is the yang sinks into the yin. If there are fewer these two hexagrams, I don't know what it means."
Zhang Ping put another drawing on the drawing: "The ancient well where the sarcophagus was dug out is at the Zhen Gua."
Wumei said: "Huh? Zhen is the thunder hexagram. If it is used as a place to hide the coffin, it is unique. However, some practitioners often go against the will of heaven, and the coffin is in the Zhen hexagram, or ascend to respond to the thunder catastrophe."
Lan Jue felt that if he pulled it like this, the vixen would be pulled out, so he said to Zhang Ping: "Are you using divination, where can you find what you are looking for?"
Zhang Ping said solemnly: "The lower official believes that based on evidence, the thing the murderer is looking for must not be underground in that house and the well."
There is a huge underground palace under Cishou Village. Many years ago, it collapsed due to earthquake movement. The person who drew this picture was looking for the entrance to the underground palace with the hexagram. The later murderer believed that the things were in Pu's old house and the ancient well.
Several murderous cases also arise.
Xie Fu, who was standing beside him, said, "When I say this, I think it's true. To be honest, when I first came to this position, I heard the story of the ancient well sarcophagus, and I wanted to dig the hole again. Is it because I have not been moved for so many years?"
Zhang Ping nodded at him: "The murderer placed the woman's body in the coffin and erected it under the well. Other places must have been carefully searched. But they did not find that thing."
Lan Jue said: "Isn't it because he was taken away when he was digging a coffin and killed someone?"
Zhang Ping said: "That's a fake coffin."
Wumei interrupted: "The fake coffin may be just to hide things."
Zhang Ping said: "If this is true, then Mr. Yao would not have been killed. This book of "Qingwu Jing" is also evidence."
"Qingwu Jing" has always been collected by the Yao family, and the old traces on the pages also indicate that people constantly want to find something from this book.
If the treasure has been found, why did Mr. Yao’s ancestors do this?
"The fake coffin is a suspicious array, and the Zhen Gua is also a suspicious array. The real treasure is hidden elsewhere."
Lan Jue scanned the drawings on the table: "Are you asking the headquarters to join your senior brother to help you make a fortune?"
Zhang Ping picked up the book "Qingwu Jing".
"Xiaguan feels that there are real clues about the treasures in this book. But the index has not been found yet. Xiaguan copied all the sentences that combined the hexagrams in the book, and then compared them with the terrain, but he still has no clue."
Wumei said: "Where are the unmarked stem positions and Kan positions?"
Zhang Ping said: "The Gan position is the current Shounian Mountain, and the Kan position is the official road to the county town."
Lan Jue looked through the paper full of sentences on Zhang Ping again, and suddenly remembered something.
"So, do you have any of the sentences found on the coffin lid?
Zhang Ping's eyes lit up.
"The Xiaguan also thought of this, but the Xiaguan is not good at interpreting poetry and prose, so he came to ask the Lord to answer his questions."
Lan Jue raised the corner of his lips: "I said, "You can just find your senior brother to understand the feng shui, so why do you drag me over? So that's it. Just say so directly. What's not easy to learn? You've learned to turn around."
Zhang Ping bowed and said, "The official knew he was wrong."
Lan Jue raised his sleeve and wrote down the words on the lid of the coffin on the paper—
The old banana guest under the pine tree is drunk outside the clouds; the remaining wine is gone and the deep and full of dreams is gone for thousands of years. The golden elixir returns to the mud cave, and the six breaths scatters in the eight seas; the cave chapter is written in the mysterious and empty, and the mountain is watched by Taibai. The three horizontal lines meet one vertical lines, and the bow and wood meet the long talent; the sky gate is opened and sent me to the Quetai.
