Chapter 648: Opening the Coffin

Pang Xiao paused, how could he not understand Zhou Heng's thoughts and nodded slightly to him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will make arrangements. The people in the mansion think you were taken to the Imperial Hospital today and I don't know when you will be back."

As for this, Zhou Heng has nothing to be pretentious about.

Pang Xiao stepped forward and tinkered with Zhou Heng's face. Zhou Heng felt that his face was at least half a size bigger. Pang Xiao also put on his face, then carried Zhou Heng's belt and rushed out of the back window.

The two jumped up, as if leaves were falling lightly on the roof. Before Zhou Heng could stand firm on the eaves, Pang Xiao jumped over again.

The wind roared in his ears, and Zhou Heng quickly closed his eyes. He felt very satisfied when watching TV. When it really fell on himself, it was nothing but fear.

The roller coaster also has a safety lock and can still sit there, so he leans against Pang Xiao and is carrying his belt.

Zhou Heng had no place to put his hands at all. After hesitating a little, he hugged Pang Xiao's waist and closed his eyes directly. He would do whatever he wanted. Anyway, he couldn't take him to die with him. It's useful now.

Without a few such jumps, Zhou Heng shook his feet and felt as if he was standing on the ground.

I opened my eyes and observed it. It seemed that there was a courtyard, with a carriage and some horses in it.

Zhou Heng let out a long breath, and his feet were a little weak for a moment. Pang Xiao stood still and lowered his head.

"My uncle can let go, this yard is safe."

Zhou Heng opened his hand instantly and quickly maintained a safer distance. He blinked and obviously wanted to take a car out, but he was wearing the clothes of the factory guard. If he hadn't followed Pang Xiao, he might have been a big man. Pang Xiao probably wouldn't be able to make a car by himself.

So Zhou Heng was not in a hurry. Since he came, he would be at peace and wait for Pang Xiao to make arrangements.

Sure enough, Pang Xiao jumped onto the shaft of the carriage and looked at Zhou Heng.

"I wonder if Uncle Zhou can ride a horse?"

Zhou Heng nodded, this is OK.

"On average riding is OK, I don't know for too long because I haven't tried it."

Pang Xiao nodded, blew his whistle for a moment, a group of people appeared from somewhere, and they were dressed similarly to Zhou Heng. Not to mention changing their appearance, they were really not easy to be discovered while standing.

Pang Xiao looked around and waved his hand.

"Everyone got on the horse, Ah Zhong followed in the middle."

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment. Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Heng realized that Ah Zhong in Pang Xiao’s mouth was him.

I guess I thought about it temporarily from Uncle Zhongyuan. Why can’t I rehearse this? It’s so surprising.

Although he was dissatisfied, Zhou Heng didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that these people were almost the same as Pang Qi and the others, he quickly got on a horse. The carriage turned around and left the courtyard first, and the subsequent horse team followed.

Then they went straight to the main road. Everyone was in a uniform manner, without a trace of messy sound. They all looked straight outside the west gate without looking sideways. The city guards at the door had already cleaned up the door and bowed to the team. None of them spoke from Pang Xiao to the various factory guards.

After leaving the city gate like this, the team was faster. I don’t know how long it took to go. Zhou Heng’s butt was already a little uncomfortable, so he saw the mausoleum in front.

Zhou Heng passed by Zhu Yunmo before. Zhu Yunmo said that Daliang has only a hundred years of age, so there are not many tombs, but the east and west areas are planned. Now only the Eastern Tomb is built. Emperor Taizu Taizong’s tombs are all here, and the old emperor’s tombs are also ready.

Zhou Heng blinked, could he say that Zhu Yunmo's brother's mausoleum was around him?

The team walked to a courtyard gate and someone checked their identities. Of course, Zhou Heng didn't have to worry about these things, so they quickly entered.

I walked a long way again and saw a tomb among a tree. This place was naturally very simple than the one in front. There was only one tomb, but a corner collapsed. Zhou Heng knew that these things looked not big on the surface, but there must be a tomb chamber underground.

Everyone had already dismounted. Pang Xiao walked in front and waved to everyone. The guards were all watching from both sides.

"Look for a landslide location, come and follow me to check in the underground palace."

As he said that, he went down first. The tomb guards did not follow him. They could only guard the outside world. If there was a problem, the factory guards could only take a look at this.

Zhou Heng had already followed him down. Among them, there were more than 30 people, and there were thirteen or fourteen of them. Pang Xiao suddenly gave a wink.

There were people left at the door, and the rest walked inside with oil lamps. While walking, they lit the oil lamps on both sides of the corridor. After a moment, the underground was already bright.

In fact, the corridor is not deep. Zhu Yundan is just the prince and has not been crowned as king. There is only a corridor below the tomb chamber and the left and right ear rooms.

Zhou Heng didn't dare to look around, but he felt that the colorful walls seemed to be full of murals, and there was nothing special about it. He followed Pang Xiao into the tomb behind.

The outer layer of the coffin has been removed, as if it was prepared for inspection. Now the innermost coffin on the first layer has not been opened.

Pang Xiao nodded to Zhou Heng, then waved his hand to the side. The people quickly stepped forward and pried open the lid of the coffin. There were no coffin nails. Zhou Heng was a little shocked. These preparations were too well done. Obviously, Pang Xiao had done these things during the period of time he came back and created the opportunity for Zhou Heng to come in.

No matter what you say at this time, it is useless. Zhou Heng quickly put on a mask, gloves, goggles, and a quarantine suit on the outside.

The corpse ten years ago, who knows what bacteria or toxins there are, and the necessary protection must be done. After all, I don’t know the cause of his death, although it has been ten years, who knows whether it will be contagious.

He just took the lantern handed over by Pang Xiao, turned on the edge of the coffin, and turned over and climbed up.

I glanced at the inside of the coffin, fortunately there was nothing like the green corpse king, and some bones were left lying inside the clothes.

Zhu Yundan has been dead for ten years, and it is understandable that he has become so boneless. Zhou Heng stepped on the edge of the coffin and tried hard to squat down. Pang Xiao got a big square chair from somewhere, the kind without a backrest. Zhou Heng took it and placed it in the coffin, just crossing the corpse.

Jiang is still so hot, and she has arranged such things clearly, and she is really good at thinking.

Zhou Heng didn't say much, and he said too much at this time, and it was impossible for everyone who came in to know the details. Zhou Heng quickly lay on the chair, had the support, freed up his hands, and carefully untied his clothes.

After all, he didn't want to affect the location of the corpse, and Zhou Heng's forehead was filled with sweat in an instant. Pang Xiao seemed to have got a handkerchief from somewhere because he had seen his surgery. Seeing that Zhou Heng was about to drip his sweat, he quickly reached out to help him wipe it off.

The clothes were quickly untied. Zhou Heng looked around for a while, and Pang Xiao waved his hand to everyone. All of them left the tomb. Fang Jizhong stepped on the side and stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"The prince said before that Zhu Yundan was injured in Liaobei and then returned to the capital for treatment. Do you know where the injury is?"

Pang Xiao thought for a while and said, "When we rushed back, the eldest prince had died. I checked the wound and hit an arrow on my leg. There was a wound on my left shoulder that was deep and bones could be seen. Although it was winter, it was all full of pus and stench. I think it was the left shoulder that caused the death."

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and remembered that King Ning said that after Zhu Yundan was injured, he was sent back to the capital from Liaobei. He died only when he arrived in the capital. He was injured and naturally he was not fast. The journey was long, but he had it for ten days and half a month. He didn't die on the road and died in the capital.

Zhou Heng frowned and began to cut open his trouser legs. Pang Xiao wanted to stop him, but he still held back. The person was already dead. So what if the cause of death could be found, what would happen if he ruined his clothes?

Zhou Heng moved very quickly, and his entire corpse had been exposed in front of him. He stepped on the edge of the coffin and moved the chair to the bottom. Zhou Heng stood up and watched carefully.

He was very cautious just now and had not moved the corpse, so he is now maintaining the most primitive posture. Although corruption can displace the corpse, this is very limited.

Although the skull, spine, and ribs are scattered, there are no injuries or misalignment, and there are no fractures on both arms.

Looking at the left shoulder, the clavicle here is broken and callus is on the edge. It seems that this is healing.

However, all Zhu Yundan's bones were a little black, not snow-white. Since Pang Xiao had come in a long time ago, he naturally saw this. It was probably because of this feeling that Zhu Yundan was poisoned.

Zhou Heng moved his eyes down to the deceased's leg. There was a broken part on the femur of the right leg, with cracks up and down. The entire femur was like Jun porcelain, with cracks everywhere up and down, especially at the edge of the cracks.

Zhou Heng lay on the chair and wanted to remove the femur, but he stopped just after reaching out.

"Bo Xiao gave me the lantern!"

When Pang Xiao heard this, he quickly flew to stand on the edge of the coffin, held up the lantern and bent down to Zhou Heng's position. Zhou Heng pointed to his femur and said:

"This is traumatic osteomyelitis. Xiao Bo, do you know what damage was the eldest prince's leg before?"

Pang Xiao shook his head, "I don't know the exact information. It seems that he was hit by an arrow in his leg. His leg has been severely edema. Sometimes he is awake and sometimes confused. The worst injury is on his left shoulder. What you said can kill people with traumatic osteomyelitis?"

Zhou Heng nodded, without explaining too much, and looked around for a week, but didn't see anything available.

"Is there anything flattering in Xiao Bo? I want to take out this femur. Although it looks complete now, it has completely broken. I may disperse as soon as I get started!"

Pang Xiao took a look and handed Zhou Heng a dagger.

"Since that's the case, cut off your pants and lift this bone out. Just cut it, I'll get it."

Zhou Heng nodded. There was no better way at the moment. The scissors that cut their clothes were not sharp enough. He reached out to take the dagger and stroked the femur. The remaining fabric on his pants was cut open. Zhou Heng blinked, but he didn't know what material the dagger was made of, it was quite sharp.

Pang Xiao quickly bent down, inserted his hands into the bottom, lifting the femur directly, then floated and landed on the ground. Zhou Heng had no strength to climb down from the coffin for half a day.

Pang Xiao had already placed the femur on the chair just now. Zhou Heng walked closer with a horse lantern, and Pang Xiao quickly took it.

"What's the position of Mr. Bo?"

Zhou Heng nodded, "I'll take a look!"

As he said that, he raised his magnifying glass and carefully observed the wound on his femur.

Now there are only bones left, and it is not easy to judge the cause of death. However, the injury of this femur is extremely strange, because healing callus can be seen at the arrow injury. Although it is very mild, it means that Zhu Yundan's injury is not as serious as expected, at least he is healing.

Even if you do not have modern medical conditions, you can still be well cultivated. However, many cracks are extended to this injury, and bone defects can be seen at the location of the cracks, as if they have been dissolved.

Zhou Heng thought about it, held the femur up and down and quickly turned the femur into a face. Zhou Heng suddenly widened his eyes and took a breath of cold air.

When Pang Xiao saw Zhou Heng's loss of composure, he was also stunned and hurriedly got closer.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Heng pointed to the back of the femur. On the femur, the mottled holes of all sizes seemed to be an ant hole, everywhere, arranged completely according to the location of the front cracks. Some of them have been completely penetrated and the marrow cavity has been opened. Such damage is too serious. Zhou Heng has only seen it in the literature.

He raised the magnifying glass and looked carefully at the defect of the arrow. A black thorn appeared in front of him, took out tweezers and pulled out the thorn, and observed it carefully again.

From the perspective of piercing, it seems that the "spike" was stabbed at the same time, but it is not the case when you look closely. The tip of this position is facing the inside of the bone, not downward, and it seems that it was done on purpose.

But what is this 'thorn'?

Zhou Heng took out a tweezer again and scraped it gently. The powder fell off on the black thorn surface. Zhou Heng put the powder on a small white plate and raised it to smell it with a strong fishy smell. When he carefully identified it, he seemed to have a scent of rust.

Put down the tweezers, replace the scalpel and scrape it out again, revealing a silver metal light inside, and a part of it scrapes away from the front and back, revealing the tip of a two-mm-width knife.

Zhou Heng paused. Even in later generations, such a knife was not easy to make. It has been ten years since it was removed from the rust on the surface and it can still be so sharp. It shows how delicate it was to be created at the beginning, but such things should not appear here!

"It can be seen from this bone that the eldest prince healed for a while after being injured. Of course, the same is true for the position of the clavicle. However, the arrow injury on the leg suddenly worsened. It seems that it was acute traumatic osteomyelitis caused by infection, but..."

Pang Xiao lost his previous calmness and quickly stepped forward and asked:

"But what?"

Zhou Heng sighed, not knowing what to say, but thought about it, raised the tweezers in his hand, and said according to the truth:

"But when the eldest prince's bones began to heal, the wound was stabbed into this. I analyzed that this was an extremely sharp knife. However, because it was too thin, the process of stabbing into the bones and pulling them out was not the same way, or because the eldest prince struggled, it broke a section in the bone crack.

As for the acute traumatic osteomyelitis mentioned earlier, it is also caused by this. If the knife is covered with rotten flesh or the pus from the ulcerated patient, it will quickly cause acute osteomyelitis.

If the problem is not discovered in time at this time, in just a few days of high fever, the bones will be corroded into such a hollow, causing infection throughout the body, organ failure, and eventually death.

Before in Qingping County, we had encountered such a patient when we had not developed penicillin. The man just smashed his toes with a hoe. He had a high fever for three or two days. When he was sent to the clinic, he had already died."

Pang Xiao was a little excited, his chest kept rising and falling, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms tremblingly. He saw that the edge seemed to have been torn off from some booklet, and quickly handed it to Zhou Heng.
