And his official deeds were also written down in the book "Yuewei Cottage Notes" by an adult named Ji Xiaolan.

Among them, this secret case is included.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but look puzzled.

The whole story seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Liu losing his official title.

But what Mr. Liu said next made me break out in a cold sweat.

I just heard that after Magistrate Liu became a high official, he was always worried about this case and sometimes had trouble sleeping and eating.

Even in my dreams every day, I could see the four monks and Taoist priests, kneeling down and begging him for clarity, saying that as long as their bones were dug out, the truth about the mysterious case could be known.

But Liu Qianzhong suffered from being in a high position and being highly regarded by the emperor, so he couldn't get away from him all day long.

It happened that one day when he was going to court, the Sixth Prince Yinzuo said he was going to Jizhou for a private visit in private, and asked Liu Qianzhong, a great scholar, to accompany him.

When Liu Qianzhong heard that this was a great opportunity, he immediately accompanied him there without even hesitating.

The reason is very simple.

As a great scholar of the imperial court, he knew the affairs of the court very well.

When he entered the palace, he knew that the sixth prince, Yin Zuo, was very playful and did not like government affairs. This private visit incognito was probably just to find a reason to leave the palace to relax.

So Liu Qianzhong pretended that it was unintentional and told Yinzuo about it on the road.

When Yinzuo heard that there was such a mysterious case, he immediately decided to investigate it personally, which played into Liu Qianzhong's hands.

After arriving at Shuangta Village back then, Liu Qianzhong found that the village had changed drastically. The village that originally had less than 200 people had now grown to over a thousand people.

The deeds of his return to his hometown quickly alerted the local county magistrate, who immediately invited him to his home to entertain him.

As for the Sixth Prince, Liu Qianzhong did not let Liu Qianzhong reveal his identity. He only said that he was the sword-carrying guard beside the grand scholar.

After Liu Qianzhong arrived, he informed the local magistrate of his purpose.

When the county magistrate and the master heard about it, they praised Liu Qianzhong for being considerate of the people, and quickly asked how to investigate, and they would cooperate.

Naturally, Liu Qianzhong decided to dig out the four corpses and find out what they saw in his dream.

But the trouble is, a few years have passed and the village has changed drastically. Liu Qianzhong only remembers that the body was buried in the northeast of the former temple.

However, the temple has long since been demolished because no one worshiped it, and only its general location is known.

If you want to dig out those four corpses, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower and material resources.

Liu Qianzhong was hesitant for a while, but due to the persistence of the Sixth Prince Yin Zuo, the project started anyway.

It lasted for half a month, and the soil in the village was turned over.

Finally, the four bodies were found.

So has the truth emerged?

It actually showed up.

After the four corpses that had turned into bones were found, the local police chief discovered another shocking secret.

It turns out that there is a large tomb from the previous dynasty under the temple!

Under the Buddha statue in the main hall of the temple, there are actually two or three holes that lead directly to the main tomb. The hole-drilling technique was extremely professional and did not damage the main body of the tomb.

When Liu Qianzhong heard the result, he broke into a cold sweat and immediately sent out men to dig out the entire tomb.

As for who the owner of the tomb is, it is impossible to find out.

But judging from how prosperous it is, it is at least a relative of the emperor. The funerary objects inside are all valuable and of exquisite craftsmanship.

But what does this have to do with the deaths of two monks and two Taoist priests?

With such doubts, Liu Qianzhong entered the tomb chamber with the Sixth Prince. Not only did he find the tools of ancient tomb robbers on the way, but he also found a yellow talisman on the wall with three big characters written on it.

"There is a ghost in the tomb!"

These three characters are written in Guange style!

Here is a brief introduction to "Guange Style".

During the Ming Dynasty, there was a type of font specially used to obtain academic titles and could only be used in the examination room. It was called "Taige style" and was highly regarded by Zhu Di.

The pavilion style emphasizes uprightness and restraint, horizontal and vertical levels, graceful and elegant structure, and grace and grace.

After the Qing Dynasty, the examination room fonts were characterized by being dark, square, smooth, and large, and were transformed from "Taige style" to "Guange style".

Liu Qianzhong was a veteran of the First Dynasty and could tell the origin of the font at a glance. Combined with Huang Fu's guess, he was afraid that it was left by the two Taoist priests.

When he arrived here, the grand scholar vaguely felt something.

But I never thought that when I continued to probe inside, an even more terrifying scene appeared.

Due to the peculiar structure of this tomb, it is divided into a front room, an east ear room, a west ear room, and an east side room, a west side room and a rear storage room at the back.

Except for the main room, which is clean and tidy, there is only a half-person high bronze cauldron.

In the remaining rooms, there are numerous bones and rotting corpses.

In total, there were about thirty people!

There are many bloody handprints on the wall!

The head hunter who entered the tomb together observed it very carefully. After a few glances, he discovered that all the bones had no heads.

At this moment, the Sixth Prince walked into the main room and heard a shout.

Liu Qianzhong quickly led people there and found that there were more than thirty heads in the bronze cauldron in the main room, surrounded by a bronze sword.

This scene is really shocking.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

It is obviously the main room where the owner's bones are stored, but there is no coffin. Instead, there is a bronze tripod. So who was this tomb built for?

For the bronze tripod?

Are you kidding me?

The sixth prince, Yinzuo, could tell at a glance that the bronze tripod was made in the palace and had exquisite carvings of nine dragons playing with beads.

Liu Qianzhong studied the books diligently and saw at a glance that the bronze sword was made in the Qin Dynasty.

When the fellow arresters were surprised, they quietly said: Could it be that the owner of the tomb came back to life and used this bronze sword to chop off the heads of more than thirty people?

As soon as these words came out, people were panicked.

Things about gods and ghosts have always been taboo.

What's more, there are dragon veins in the palace here, so you must not talk nonsense.

Liu Qianzhong made a prompt decision and asked the Yamen to seal the tomb. At the same time, he followed the instructions of the Sixth Prince and prepared to move the bronze tripod with the Nine Dragons and Pearls engraved back to the court.

Products related to dragons are not allowed to be spread among the people.

Liu Qianzhong is not stupid and has arranged all the funeral arrangements.

As for the truth of the case, a reasonable explanation was also given: presumably neither the Taoist priest nor the monk was a true Buddhist.

They are all here to rob this tomb!

As a result, because the mechanism in the tomb was triggered and multiple tomb robbers intervened, he met a tragic end.

The Taoist priest and monk probably died in the well because they had no time to escape.

Despite this rationale, there are flaws.

But, from every aspect, it is logical.

The local county government also chose to close the case and everyone was happy.

But just when Liu Qianzhong, the Sixth Prince and others were about to leave in their sedan chairs, Shuangta Village suddenly began to rain heavily for seven days and seven nights.
