Section 122: Enmity and Enmity Hidden Under the Tomb (2)
"Ling'er, you can't go down this slope! Your brother Cheng slipped from here and rolled down and broke his leg!" Ji Cangyu said with tears streaming down his face.
"What did you say?" Ling'er asked, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Your brother Cheng was playing here back then, and somehow he fell down from here! The way he fell was exactly the same as the assassin who just fell from it!" Ji Cangyu said sadly. The exact same situation just now reminded him of the second time.
That scene ten years ago made him regretful for the rest of his life.
"You mean Brother Cheng broke his leg?" Ling'er asked again.
Ji Cangyu nodded. He originally didn't want to tell Ling'er about this, but now he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"You mean Brother Cheng just broke his leg and he's still alive!" Ling'er asked expectantly.
Ji Cangyu had recovered from his extreme grief. He explained to Ling'er: "At that time, there was a big stone in the middle of the steep slope. When your brother Cheng rolled down, he happened to be stopped by the stone. Although he could save his life,
Life, but the kneecaps of both his legs... were shattered due to the violent impact."
Ling'er looked down in horror. If Brother Yang also hit that stone, he would definitely be injured!
"Don't look at it, that stone is gone a long time ago." Ji Cangyu said lightly.
"It's gone? How could it be gone?" Ling'er asked anxiously. Even if it hits a big rock and gets injured, it's better than losing his life!
"That stone once hurt Cheng'er, and I got angry and had it removed. So...so..." Ji Cangyu couldn't bear to say any more.
"So he is dead." Xu Jun came over and said cruelly.
The six words Xu Jun said echoed repeatedly in Ling'er's mind, like a sledgehammer hitting her chest repeatedly. Ling'er couldn't bear the despair and grief, and slowly collapsed to the ground.
Ji Cangyu sighed and said, "Don't worry! I'll have someone go down the mountain to bury his body at dawn..."
Before Ji Cangyu finished speaking, Ling'er started crying heartbreakingly.
Hearing the cry, everyone present, except Xu Jun, lowered their heads, and Ji Cangyu's mood became increasingly heavy.
Xu Jun comforted him kindly: "You don't have to be so sad. He was originally poisoned and will not live long."
Ling'er also stopped crying after hearing this and looked at Xu Jun in shock. Did he know that Brother Yang had been hit by the "Hundred Days Powder"?
Xu Jun added: "Why are you so surprised? No wonder you didn't notice that the sword was quenched with poison?"
It turned out that the poison Xu Jun was referring to was not "Hundred Days Powder". But Ling'er did not find out what kind of poison Brother Yang was poisoned with.
"Don't mention the past anymore!" Ji Cangyu said to Xu Jun.
Xu Jun also walked aside feeling bored.
"Go back!" Ji Cangyu advised Ling'er.
Ling'er was indifferent. Fortunately, he didn't cry loudly anymore. He just sat on the ground and stared at the slope in a daze.
Ji Cangyu had no choice but to wave Xu Jun and the nursing staff to go back first.
Ji Cangyu looked at the steep slope and decided to modify the dangerous place to prevent anyone from slipping and falling again.
"Eh? Why is there fire there?" A nurse was about to go back, but when he turned around, he noticed something unusual in the distance.
"Isn't that Mrs. Ji's tomb? Is there anyone there at this late hour?" Another nurse asked in confusion.
Ji Cangyu was shocked and hurriedly looked north. There was indeed a faint fire flickering at the tomb!
"What's going on? Hurry over and have a look!" Ji Cangyu ordered. He was worried about leaving Ling'er alone here, so he picked up Ling'er and drove over there.
Everyone was in a hurry, and no one noticed that Xu Jun's face showed some uneasiness.
Ling'er followed Ji Cangyu in despair, not at all curious about the sudden fire.
When Ji Cangyu led everyone in a hurry to the tomb, the fire just now had long since disappeared.
"Separately check to see if there is any abnormality." Ji Cangyu explained.
Xu Jun looked at the situation around him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His people had completed their mission. It didn't matter if they were discovered by Ji Cangyu now, it was just a little earlier in time. Anyway, the ghost-faced man in black was imprisoned in the dungeon.
He has already taken care of all the people.
Xu Jun took the torch from a nurse's hand, walked to the entrance of the underground tomb, and said, "Look, there is something abnormal here!"
After hearing this, everyone quickly gathered around.
"There are some footprints here." Xu Jun pointed to the marks on the ground and said. These footprints were deliberately left by his men.
"Did someone enter the tomb just now?" A nurse boldly guessed.
Ji Cangyu also came over and took a torch to look at the stone door of the tomb. There were indeed signs that it had been opened!
He was furious and at the same time very worried. What did the thief want to do by sneaking into Bi'er's tomb?
Without saying a word, Ji Cangyu walked to the side of the opened mechanism, blocked it with his sleeve, and used a special technique to open the first stone door of the tomb while no one could see it.
He only told Xu Jun the opening method of this stone door on the day of worship. If Xu Jun hadn't asked, he wouldn't have told others. Not even Zhong Gong and Zhong Long knew about it. Therefore, he didn't know how the thief cracked the door.
Institutional.
Inside the first stone door is an underground dining hall. Except for the portrait hanging behind the desk, there is nothing particularly valuable.
All the things worthy of the thieves were placed inside the second stone door by Ji Cangyu. There was the coffin room, where Bi'er's coffin and burial items were placed.
Ji Cangyu quickly walked to the second stone door to check, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was no sign that the second stone door had been opened.
If anyone dares to disturb Bi'er, he, Ji Cangyu, will spend his entire life trying to catch the thief!
"There are also some marks on the ground. It seems that the thief has indeed come in." A nurse squatted on the ground and inspected carefully and said.
"What's he doing here?" Another nurse asked in confusion.
Everyone was surprised that there were no signs of being rummaged through the hall.
"He must have heard something moving outside and ran away in a hurry before he had time to do anything, right?" said the nurse who just stood up.
"Of course that's the case, otherwise you think he's here to pay homage to Mrs. Ji?" a nurse replied casually.
Speaking of worship, one nurse sniffed hard and said, "Why do I smell incense?"
Everyone also sniffed it, and there was indeed the smell of incense in this hall!
Ji Cangyu frowned when he heard this. It had just rained the day before yesterday and everything was muddy. He didn't want to make the tomb dirty, so he didn't bring the children in to worship. There shouldn't be the smell of incense here!
"It looks weird! Let's search carefully!" Xu Jun suddenly said.
Ling'er, who had been standing at the door of the tomb, felt relieved knowing that the thief had not disturbed Aunt Ji. She was not interested in why there was a smell of incense here. She was only worried about Brother Yang.
Ling'er quietly exited the tomb while no one noticed her.
Ling'er had calmed down at this time. Brother Yang was such a tenacious person, how could he die on a steep slope? She had to rush to save Brother Yang!
