Military Secretary Xing’s pair of eyes shining with splendor swept around the coffin, “No, sister, one thousand taels of silver, you don’t need so many coffins to pack.”

"Brother, I have such a good eye. Indeed, the two coffins behind me are not covered with silver." Mrs. Xing was not dressed as a woman when Su Hua met last time, but was like a short dress like a chivalrous woman, which looked more like a marvelous and earthly atmosphere.

"Oh, what is that?" Bai Qun guessed that maybe it was the county master who asked Mrs. Xing to bring other things?

Mrs. Xing is also a child who grew up in a copycat, and Bai Qun still trusts her quite a bit.

Mrs. Xing raised her arm again and made a gesture to uncover the coffin.

This time, Wen Peng still took the initiative to step forward and pried open the better sealed coffin.

As soon as I opened it, I saw a corpse lying inside.

The bandits have seen the world, but no one is scared by the corpses in the coffin, and it is normal to put corpses in the coffin.

It's strange to make a fuss.

However, since this corpse was brought by a happy person, Bai Qun felt that something might be strange.

Military Commander Xing walked up, touched a silver needle from his arms, and inserted it directly into the throat of the mummy in the coffin.

Bai Qun also came over and asked curiously, "Old Xing, is there any problem with this corpse?"

Military Secretary Xing pulled out the silver needle, but the silver needle did not change color.

Most of the poisons in ancient times were mineral poisons, and most of them were used for arsenic. The backward production technology in ancient times led to a small amount of sulfur and sulfide in the arsenic.

When sulfur comes into contact with silver, a chemical reaction can be carried out, causing a black layer of "silver sulfide" to form on the surface of the silver needle.

If modern people brought the arsenic produced in modern times to ancient times, the refinement would be very pure, and there would be no sulfur and sulfides, and the silver needle would not turn black. In ancient times, people could not find out that it was poisoned by arsenic by using such primitive techniques.

There is no sulfur in the egg, but if you use a silver needle, it will also turn black.

Therefore, using silver needles to test the poison was just a means of low productivity in ancient times.

However, Military Secretary Xing didn't understand this, and he looked at the Yin Needle in wonder, "It just looked even more strange because it was not poisonous."

"What's strange?" Bai Qun walked closer and let out a surprise voice, "This man looks familiar."

Military Commander Xing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it Ah Fa?"

Xing Xiaorou nodded, "Yes, the village leader, brother, I encountered some trouble before, so I found these insignificant bandits. They did not join the copycat and worked alone. I asked them to do something for me."

Military commander Xing and Bai Qun both knew that she had done such a thing, so they nodded.

Xing Xiaorou continued, "I spent money to ask them to deal with a woman for me, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see them coming back to report the news. I just thought they had cheated on my money and ran away."

Finally, Mrs. Xing said viciously, "This time, the county magistrate asked me to escort the silver. I passed by the tea shed again halfway through the last time. Someone in the escort convoy was anxious and went to the jungle. As a result, the bodies of the four of them were found."

"The strangest thing is this one. He was strangled by the vines. These days, he had already been dried into dried meat in the forest. The other three people... looked like they were killing each other."

Mrs. Xing looked at her, Military Advisor Xing, "Brother, I don't understand. Although they are the last gangsters, they don't kill each other for a thousand taels of silver bills. Moreover, I did not find the silver bills on them, I only found...the underworld coins."

Military Commander Xing opened Afa's clothes, and sure enough, there was only a large handful of ghost coins in his arms.

"What are the other two coffins?"

"Open it all."

This time, Wen Peng was a little afraid to step forward.

Because, he had noticed one thing just now, that was the expression of Ah Fa's corpse.

That expression reminded him of the strange things he encountered in the forest before, and the expressions of those brothers before they died bizarrely.

However, when he reported to the village leader before, he had already said that the brothers had sacrificed so many of them when they met the guards who protected the county lord.

If you don’t say that, how can they reflect their efforts?

If you say that you were scared to death by ghosts in the forest, you wouldn’t be laughed to death by the people in the village?

So, although he didn't dare to do so at this moment, he still resisted the discomfort in his heart and stepped forward to open the remaining two coffins.

There was a coffin with silver ingots underneath, but there was a corpse above it.

In the last coffin, there were two corpses stacked.

Wen Peng, who was used to seeing the corpse, felt that the scene in front of him made him shudder.

He looked pale, and a bandit next to him who was not usually dealing with him teased in a low voice, "Brother Peng, why are you so scared by these four corpses so ugly?"

Wen Peng resisted the urge to be weak, and he had to hold on to the point of trying to save face. "These corpses seem to be a bit strange."

The bandit Qiu Fang, who was not dealing with him, said loudly in surprise, "I didn't expect that Brother Peng, you can still see that these corpses are actually dead. This time you are even more powerful than our Military Advisor Xing."

After he said this, it attracted the attention of Military Commander Xing. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Peng and asked, "Wen Peng, tell me what you think is strange?"

Wen Peng could only step forward with his teeth and asked the others to move out all the bodies and put them side by side on the ground.

"There is nothing abnormal on this Afa's body. Xing Xiaorou said that when Afa was discovered, it fell on a vine. If he was put on after death, his tongue would not have been spit out. His tongue seems to have been spit out now, which means he was hanged."

Military Secretary Xing nodded frequently. He naturally knew this knowledge that he had worked with coroners in the yamen. Wen Peng knew this mainly because he killed too many people and had experienced it.

"But look, although his expression has become a mummy, the expression on his face can still be seen clearly. He is smiling, it is a kind of relief smile." He also saw this smile when Liu Bing dug out his eyes.

He couldn't help but shivered.

Wen Peng hurriedly looked at the other three corpses again. The knife wounds on them were caused by their killings. Wen Peng did not doubt it because Xing Xiaorou also picked up the knife they used.

"They killed each other because... because they were infected."
