Zhao Jin led the guards and walked directly towards the small garden on the right.
"Go ahead and dig. If you dig three feet into the ground, you will find it!"
The people in Kunning Palace didn't know what Zhao Jin and others were digging. They didn't dare to look around, but they didn't dare to leave either.
Almost the entire small garden was opened, but still no body was found.
"Your Highness." Qing Yi walked to Zhao Jin and frowned, "I didn't find it. Now only the pavilion is left intact."
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and looked at the small pavilion on the east side of the small garden, his starry eyes were cold, "Tear it down."
"yes."
A group of guards lifted up the entire pavilion. Just when everyone thought they still found nothing, a guard suddenly discovered something.
"There's something down there!"
After hearing this, Zhao Jin walked over quickly.
The soil here is black, and a small piece of golden, old cloth is exposed. "Dig! Be careful."
The guards carefully dug out the soil bit by bit, and Lu Chen had more and more cloth. At the same time, a putrid smell came out from there.
It's the smell of corpse!
After a while, a skeleton appeared in front of everyone. There was still a lot of cloth left on the skeleton.
Some fabrics can survive for a long time under certain circumstances, otherwise future generations of archaeologists would not be able to dig out those ancient clothing items.
Zhao Jin squatted down and picked up a little soil with his fingers. It was very dry.
It can be dry for thousands of years, wet for ten thousand years, and it can last only ten years if it is neither dry nor wet.
No wonder the clothes have been preserved to this day.
"Take it out, and then go to the Criminal Department to ask someone to come over." Zhao Jin stood up, his voice cold.
"yes!"
The body of the real Cai Yixin was buried under the pavilion. People who pretended to be the other party liked to enjoy the flowers and scenery here, and trampled the real Cai Yixin under their feet.
The muscles in Zhao Jin's cheeks twitched, he really had the most poisonous woman's heart.
The people from the Criminal Department arrived very quickly, and the guards from the East Palace had already roughly explained to him the cause of the matter on the way.
When I saw the skeleton lying in the garden, I was not surprised. I just put on my gloves and squatted down to examine the body.
A full quarter of an hour later, Wu Zuo stood up with a pale face and said, "Your Highness, these are indeed the bones of the Queen."
His eyes were complicated. Who would have thought that the empress who had been in Kunning Palace all this time was fake. The real empress was dead and still buried in Kunning Palace?
Zhao Jin let out a long sigh of relief and half-closed his eyelids, making it difficult for people to see his emotions clearly, "Bury the empress with the rites of the mother of the country."
"yes!"
The next day, after Zhao Jin announced the matter in the court, no one objected.
Although the queen's funeral was much simpler than the emperor's, it was only relatively speaking.
Cai Yixin's body had turned into a skeleton, so everyone buried her as quickly as possible. For several days, the East Palace and the Ministry of Rites were busy without touching the ground.
Now Zhao Jin was nominally Cai Yixin's son, so Zhao Jin stayed at the mourning hall for seven days. During these seven days, Zhao Jin almost only drank water, and barely used a little porridge to maintain his strength.
Seven days later, Cai Yixin was buried. When Zhao Jin came out of the mourning hall dressed in white linen mourning clothes, his face was as pale as the linen clothes on his body.
Zhao Jin's eyes fell on the coffin in front of him. His identity would be revealed sooner or later, but since he temporarily borrowed the identity of Cai Yixin's son, he should now take care of her posthumous affairs.
When the courtiers saw Zhao Jin's appearance, they couldn't help but sigh.
The Queen's funeral was a huge undertaking, and by the time all the funeral work was completed, half a month had already passed.
…
Qi Jiahan was about to arrive in Yunzhou County when he received news from Bianzhou City and learned about the accident in Kunning Palace.
He didn't expect that so many things would happen to him not long after he left Bianzhou City.
"General, Yunzhou County is ahead."
Qi Jiahan's deputy general rode a horse and said beside Qi Jiahan.
"Yeah. Qi Jiahan nodded, "Let's go, get ready to enter the city."
"General, I don't understand why we need to take a detour to Yunzhou County first?"
Hearing this, Qi Jiahan slightly tightened his left hand holding the reins and glanced at his lieutenant, "The geographical location of Yunzhou County is very important."
"If the rebels want to invade Bianzhou City, they must first pass through Yunzhou County. Therefore, before we go to the front line, we need to ensure the defense of Yunzhou County to prevent the other party from bypassing us and attacking Yunzhou County first."
Qi Jiahan's words were so specious and true that the lieutenant general couldn't tell for a moment. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't think more about it.
After all, Yunzhou County is indeed the only way for King Tai and his companions to pass through.
The army approached Yunzhou County in great strength. The guards on the city tower discovered them early and sent spies to confirm Qi Jiahan's identity.
When the army arrived, many people were already standing at the city gate of Yunzhou County.
Wei Liang, Qi Yunche and Chu Shao were all waiting at the city gate.
Chu Shao was the new county magistrate of Yunzhou County after Ning Ce and Zhao Jin left, and he is now Wei Liang's confidant.
Qi Yunche crossed his arms with his hands and looked unhappy.
Zhao Jin had already sent the news a few days ago, and even earlier, Mrs. Ning and Chu Weiqing, who arrived in Yunzhou County, made Qi Yunche aware of something.
On the night when Mrs. Ning and Chu Weiqing arrived in Yunzhou County, Qi Yunche directly quarreled with Wei Liang.
That night.
"Did King Xuan have this idea very early?" After Mrs. Ning and Chu Weiqing were settled, Qi Yunche went directly to find Wei Liang.
As soon as he came in, he asked sternly.
Wei Liang raised his eyelids and glanced at Qi Yunche with a calm expression, then quickly looked away, "Don't you already know?"
"At first I thought he was a good county guard, but I didn't expect that I was wrong and didn't see his wolfish ambitions!" Qi Yunche's expression was cold and angry.
Like an angry beast who was deceived by his friends, "I, Qi Yunche, really underestimated him!"
"You not only underestimated him, but you also took his situation too seriously." Wei Liang's eyes finally met Qi Yunche's gaze.
Only then did Qi Yunche realize something strange about Wei Liang. Over the years, since he took up the post of county guard, his youthful demeanor at the beginning gradually faded away, and he became more and more like Zhao Jin in the past.
When facing outsiders, Wei Liang's expression is calm and he is no longer as nervous as when he first served as treasurer. However, towards his own people, Wei Liang is often gentle and humble.
Now it looks like someone provoked Wei Liang and made him feel very bad.
Qi Yunche felt guilty for a moment, but then felt confident again.
Didn't he deserve to be angry after being deceived by them for so long?
"Wei Liang, what do you mean by this? He was in a difficult situation when he was in Prince Liang's Mansion, but since he became the county guard, he has been getting out of that quagmire."
"From Yunzhou County to Bianzhou City, his wealth and life were still threatened by King Liang, so there is nothing wrong with leaving these back-ups."
Qi Yunche's tone finally softened.
