The secret passage in the tomb had already been backfilled. The little emperor did not want to let the scandal of the imperial tomb being stolen, so he had to let the dragon guards take turns digging. More than a hundred people dug until midnight. After eating supper, they finally took the secret The stone gate of the road was dug out.
"Boom~"
Shimen fell to the ground with a bang. Two mausoleum officials walked in tremblingly holding oil lamps. Zhao Guanren and Ouyang Jin followed closely behind holding flashlights. Familiar smell - corpse stink!
"Be careful! There may be corpses..."
Zhao Guanren called out the Soul Knife and held it in his hand. The underground palace was also very tall. A corridor led to the main tomb and eight ear chambers. The concubines who hanged themselves for the two emperors were all buried in the ear chambers. Buried in the last room on the left.
"Huh? Why don't you take these porcelain and bronze utensils..."
Zhao Guanren walked into the "main room" of the underground palace. There was a big bronze tripod in the middle, and there were many pottery figurines of soldiers on both sides, but there were many exquisite porcelains on the ground, and none of them were missing.
"No one dares to buy!"
The mausoleum official wailed, and Ouyang Jin explained: "The funerary porcelain is specially fired by the official kiln. Once it is taken out, it will be known to others. They stole the imperial tomb. The same is true for the bronze wares, so they only dare to take them. Gold, silver and jade articles are easy to change, and they are easy to sell on the black market!"
"How did you open the door, this stone door is not light..."
Zhao Guanren went to the main tomb and pushed the door hard, but the two heavy stone doors did not move at all. The mausoleum official held a special flat hook and fiddled with it a few times under the stone door, and then opened the door with a hard push.
"Oh! So there are two big stone balls behind the door..."
After Zhao Guanren walked in, he suddenly realized that there were two sloping grooves behind the door. As long as the door was closed, the stone ball would roll down. People who didn't know how to do this could not open the door of the tomb. This stone door probably weighed several thousand catties. It doesn't necessarily work well.
"Yo~ Isn't this the emperor's bedroom..."
Zhao Guanren raised his flashlight and looked around. The decoration of the main tomb was the same as that of the imperial palace. There were three sarcophagi, one large and two small, where Emperor Jiwu and his two concubines were buried respectively. It was broken even more.
"Old father-in-law! Look at what you are fighting for. In the end, you didn't die so tragically..."
Zhao Guanren took out an anti-epidemic mask and put it on. Emperor Jiwu's coffin was also placed in the gold-inlaid sarcophagus, but the gold leaf on it was picked off.
When he walked to the side of the sarcophagus and looked around, Emperor Jiwu was so rotten that only a skeleton was left, the brocade quilt and dragon robe were lifted off, none of the funerary objects were left, and even his jaw was smashed , It should be to take away the night pearl in his mouth.
"Old father-in-law! Let me see you off again..."
Zhao Guanren lifted the lid of the coffin and put it back on again, but he walked to the side of the concubine's coffin and took a look. A female corpse was stripped naked, with her buttocks lying in the coffin. After the drug treatment, the rot was not serious. Seems to have been violated.
"You bastards, you even violated corpses..."
Zhao Guanren was annoyed at once, but the mausoleum official waved his hand and said: "My lord, you misunderstood. We never do these dirty jobs, but after the ladies are buried, they will be stuffed with jade from top to bottom. They turned the girls over to... take out the stuffing." Anal jade!"
"Get out! I'll get mad when I see you..."
Zhao Guanren cursed furiously. After taking out his gloves and putting them on, he turned the two female corpses over with his own hands, covered them with brocade quilts and coffin covers, lit three cigarettes one by one in front of the three coffins, and bowed respectively.
Then backed out.
"My lord! The front is flooded..."
Ouyang Jin stood at the entrance of the passage holding an oil lamp. The passage leading to the ear room was a slope. The dark groundwater was probably one foot deep, and wooden funerary objects were floating on the water.
"Go get the gravel to pave the way, be careful not to touch the water, there may be corpse poison..."
Zhao Guanren pulled Ouyang Jin to the back, and the two mausoleum officials sighed and went to move the stones. After barely paving the way, Zhao Guanren forced them to open the way with a knife.
Corpse people are all soulless things. Hiding behind the door, he can't see them with his soul-chasing eyes. Moreover, this place cannot be exposed to the sun, and the poison of corpses in the water will not dissipate. corpse.
"Damn it! I knew it..."
Zhao Guanren stopped in front of the deepest ear chamber, and only saw a copper coffin covered with mysterious patterns inside a rough sarcophagus. The copper coffin looked intact, but the water-permeable point was just above it. The sarcophagus was already filled with black corpse water.
"Strange! The water is not deep, how did it pollute the other coffins..."
Ouyang Jin held up the oil lamp and looked around. There are four tombs surrounded by a semicircle, but the coffins are all erected on stone platforms half a person's height. corpse.
"Did it get wet when you came back up..."
Zhao Guanren raised his flashlight to shine on other tombs. A mausoleum official shook his head and said, "If the water is permeable, it must be dug up and repaired. How could the tomb leak like this? It must be the wrong place to dig the hole last time, and the top of the tomb was leaked." , it was fine when we came!"
"I'll ask you again, have you ever been struck by lightning..."
Zhao Guanren glared at the two of them viciously, and one of them hesitated: "Yes! Since we robbed the tomb, there have been three drought lightning strikes on the Hades, but we were afraid that someone would discover the new soil we dug, so we never dared Make it public!
"You two bloody things..."
Zhao Guanren cursed angrily, and kicked the two of them into the sewage at the same time. The two screamed and scrambled in the water, and subconsciously climbed onto a coffin, begging: "My lord! Don't kill us, Spare us a dog's life!"
"Wait to die, you have committed your own crimes and cannot live..."
Zhao Guanren raised the knife aggressively. Sure enough, within half a minute, the two of them suddenly fell on the coffin board and twitched, clucking like killing chickens.
"My God! The water is really poisonous..."
Ouyang Jin pulled out the sword in disbelief, while Zhao Guanren jumped onto the coffin lid, raised the knife without hesitation, cut the heads of the two in half, and said, "Small tight! Meiba may be Here, it will use illusions to confuse people, you stand there and don't walk around!"
"My lord! Be careful too..."
Ouyang Jin hurriedly guarded the door with a horizontal sword, and Zhao Guanren jumped onto a sarcophagus again, but the female corpse inside had already rotted into a skeleton, so he could only jump back and say, "Someone must have turned the corpse over when it was turned over." On the ground, the poisonous water seeped over and transformed her corpse!"
"It must be in these three ear chambers..."
Ouyang Jin turned around and took a step, Zhao Guanren also jumped out of the tomb, but he immediately noticed something was wrong.
In a tomb diagonally opposite, the wooden coffin lids had already fallen to the ground, but the sarcophagus lids were on the inner and outer coffins, leaving only a finger-wide gap, but the tomb robbers would not be so kind.
"Hey baby! Are you in there..."
Zhao Guanren picked up a few pieces of gravel and threw them into the water, and waited for a while by shining a flashlight on the sarcophagus, but nothing happened.
He didn't even hear it, so he jumped onto the stone with the Soul Knife in hand, inserted the knife into the gap and slowly pried the coffin lid open a palm-width opening.
"If you don't come out, I'll go in. I'm notoriously good at picking up corpses..."
Zhao Guanren threw another small stone in, but unfortunately the mouth of the coffin reached the position of his chin, and he had to stand on tiptoe to see inside, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response, so he could only bite the bullet and leaned over, slowly turning his face Get into the gap.
"Empty coffin?"
Zhao Guanren was startled for a moment, and hastily pushed the lid of the coffin away. Unexpectedly, the inside and outside of the coffin were empty, only the brocade quilt and some worthless personal belongings remained, and the corpse was gone.
"Little tight! Why is there no engraving on the coffin? Could it be that a palace lady was buried..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the sarcophagus suspiciously, but Ouyang Jin said outside the door: "Impossible! A maid of honor is not qualified to be buried here, at least she must be a Concubine Shu. There is only one possibility if there is no engraving. The Empress hates her and deliberately uses this What a way to humiliate her!"
"But where did the body go..."
Zhao Guanren hastily took pictures of the place, and there was nothing hidden in the foot-deep water, so he had to jump out and continue searching. Who knew that after searching all the ear chambers to the west, the missing female body was not found yet, while the other bodies No corpse change either.
"master!
Ouyang Jin was puzzled and said: "This group of people probably won't steal corpses. If someone finds out, it will be a catastrophe to exterminate the family. Besides, there are many other female corpses. Could it be that there are empty coffins in the first place?"
"Impossible! There will always be one who becomes a charm..."
Zhao Guanren frowned and said: "Since the two lightning strikes hit the top, it means that the corpse of the unknown woman has been transformed here, but the strange thing is that Meiba will not risk leaving the tomb before the five thunders strike, and she can't get out." go!"
"Let's go up and ask..."
Ouyang Jin walked back holding the oil lamp. The little emperor and others were waiting on the ground. When they saw them come out, they quickly surrounded him, but Zhao Guanren asked, "Ye Guanhai! There is an unnamed coffin in the ear room. Who is buried there?" who?"
"Uh~ Liu Piaopiao..."
The little emperor looked at him with embarrassment, and Zhao Guanren immediately said in shock: "Isn't Liu Piaopiao executed in the sky prison? How could he be buried in the imperial mausoleum?"
Liu Piaopiao is the boss Liu who opened a brothel in Lantai County. After returning to Jiguo as an agent of Jinyi, he fell in love with Ye Zimei all the way. In the prison.
"Master! Ye Zimei repented before the execution. She didn't kill Liu Piaopiao, and the queen let him lie..."
Luo Tan stepped forward and whispered: "Liu Piaopiao was raised outside the palace to have a baby, and has been taken care of secretly by the King of Qin. After the death of the first emperor, the King of Qin wanted to give her a title, but the Queen Mother was very angry when she heard that Liu Piaopiao was not dead. She yelled loudly on the spot, and Liu Piaopiao died the next day, and there was a child who was about to be born in her belly!"
Zhao Guanren was surprised and said, "Did the Queen Mother kill her, but why was she buried in the Imperial Tomb?"
"She is the mother of the country, so she must be tolerant..."
Luo Tan said in a low voice: "The queen mother is indeed a bit ruthless. After all, she still has an unborn child, but Liu Piaopiao is also to blame for her death. She almost harmed her whole family back then. When she becomes powerful, she naturally wants to make her look good. That's right. ! Could it be Liu Piaopiao’s fraudulent corpse?”
"Liu Piaopiao not only lied about her corpse, she also disappeared..."
Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Ye Guanhai! There is only an empty coffin left for Liu Piaopiao. I don't know how she got out, but after five bolts of lightning strike her, she will definitely go to the palace to seek revenge from your mother. Liu Piaopiao is now It's full of corpse poison!"
