The impact was really strong. Leng Li looked at it and felt the hair on his back. Naturally, Helian Mochuan was not much better.
What he didn't expect was that there were so many corpses buried underground, and this was only a part of them. Thinking of this, Helian Mochuan's face became more solemn.
"Are there all these bones under the Ministry of Justice?" Helian Mochuan asked.
Ning Wan shook his head and said: "We are not sure yet. According to the traces of fumigation, I am afraid that the entire underground building of the Ministry of Justice is a burial place!"
Helian Mochuan tightened his grip on the handle of the wheelchair. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing in all his years as regent.
The entire Ministry of Punishment covers an area of several hundred acres, so the number of people buried here is simply countless.
"Have you ever thought about how to dispose of these bones?" Ning Wan had really thought about this question, but her abilities alone were really limited.
"If these corpses are not cleaned up, the corpse worms cannot be completely eliminated. Can the prince bring in some corpses, preferably ones with the ability to trace bones?"
There are a lot of ordinary puppets in the capital, but it's really hard to find people with such superb skills. However, one of Helian Mochuan's friends is very good at doing this.
"There is someone, but it's not a scammer. He has a weird temperament, so I'm afraid it's hard to hire him! Leng Li, you stay here to help Miss Ning, while I go out of the city to hire someone!"
Leng Li nodded bravely. She actually wanted to leave with Helian Mochuan, but this environment was so scary that she couldn't stand it. It was rare to see Leng Li's scared look, so Ning Wan smiled and went over to take pictures.
Patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid. The last thing in this world to fear is the dead. It's the living that we should be most wary of!"
After the bones were dug out, Ning Wan did a preliminary inspection and found some strange things, especially these skulls. There was a bulge on the back of the skull, but normal people did not have such a bulge.
"Miss Ning, is there anything different about these heads?" Leng Li asked in a low voice while Ning Wan kept staring at the skull.
Ning Wan nodded and said: "These people don't look like the people of Yan, or even the people of Jiuzhou. The backs of the skulls of all the people of Jiuzhou are flat, but there are bulges here." Ning Wan gestured,
Leng Li also saw the clue.
Zi Su came in with the concoction and saw Prince Ning and Leng Li holding a bunch of skulls and looking at them. This scene was really horrifying.
"A good person doesn't want to look at these dead people's bones. Miss, just leave these things to Zuo Zuo. You are a young lady from the Duke's palace. How can you do such a thing? It won't sound good if it gets spread!"
Zi Su's complaint made Ning Wan curl up her lips and said, "Why, are you so worried that I won't be able to marry your lady?"
Zi Su snorted and put the concoction down speechlessly. Anyway, her scalp was numb when she looked at this pile of things. She really didn't understand why anyone would like to tinker with these things?
"You are still married. The rumors outside have ruined your reputation! You don't care about such an important matter, but you are here to get these dead people's bones. You are like this, even if you find a man, I'm afraid
I don't dare to marry you!" After Zi Su finished speaking, Ning Wan smiled.
Marrying a man is not yet in her plan. To leave the rest of her life to a man, such an exchange must be done carefully, otherwise a woman's life will be ruined.
If not, Ning Wan would not have reconciled with Helianxuan without hesitation. When she reconciled, she was prepared to never marry again, so she didn't care at all about the rumors outside.
"According to what you said, the only one who can marry your young lady is King Yama!" Seeing Ning Wan actually joking about this matter, Zi Su became anxious.
"Miss, don't talk nonsense. A good person like you will definitely find a lover!"
Ning Wan nodded. After being disturbed by Zi Su, the previous fatigue was wiped away. He had just been busy all morning, and now he was a little hungry.
"Ask Banxia to go to Wangyue Tower and bring back some pastries, and prepare some food for the officials who are working! There are also these decoctions, everyone must drink a bowl, which is specially used to repel insects!
"
Zi Su nodded, she had actually sent Banxia to do it a long time ago, and now looking at the time, she would be back soon.
"Miss, Miss, I'm back!" He said that Cao Cao was about to arrive. Banxia ran in with a food box. When he saw the situation in the yard, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the food box on the ground.
"Oh my god, miss, we must have dug a grave. Why are there so many...dead people!"
When Banxia mentioned the grave, Ning Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he didn't care about Banxia, Zisu and the others, but hurriedly went to find Su Cheng.
"Master Su, does the Ministry of Punishment have a map of the capital from 20 years ago?"
Su Cheng thought for a while and nodded, then said: "They are all kept in the warehouse. What does Miss Ning want the map for?"
Ning Wan thought for a while and then said to him: "I just wonder if there was a mass grave here before. Otherwise, how could there be so many bones underground!"
