Chapter 320 Where's His Corpse?

"But when the guard saw this, he was ready to take these servants to spy on the news, he had no chance to succeed. Because the person hiding behind these old servants was actually very good at it."

The princess frowned and said, "Since I found something wrong, why did the guards not catch them and ask?"

"I thought it was your wife and the third daughter-in-law at that time, so I didn't want to alert the enemy. Besides, it was not much better to capture it directly than to secretly spy on it."

King Jin said further: "After the guards made these discoveries, they immediately hid. Their mission changed from inquiring about the third wife to staring at the Luo family and these people. Until a few days later, one night, water suddenly flowed from the Luo family's firewood. After the guards found the fire, someone fled. After following them, they found that they had been going to the Luo family's ancestral grave."

"Why is this?"

"Because the tomb guards of the Luo family are also one of those 'family thieves'."

Princess Jin was silent.

"This second master Luo was so amazing in the past, and the Luo family was in a glorious period at that time. Luo Rong's tomb and Luo Ying's tomb were adjacent to each other, and behind Luo Rong's tomb, there was a dark hole hidden. This dark hole leads from the outside to the inside, and connects two tombs. Of course, it is obvious that the Luo family had never known this secret before the incident."

When the King of Jin said this, he had already walked to the desk and stopped. In front of the princess, he opened the secret wall, took out a half-fold map, and spread it on the table: "This is the map of the cemetery hand-painted by the guards."

When the princess walked to the side of the case, she saw two tombs drawing simple drawings on the paper. The graves on the ground were almost the same, and she couldn't tell how big it was. However, inside the tomb was obviously much larger than the surface. The location of the coffin, the altar, and various instruments were roughly marked. There was indeed a narrow and irregular passage between the two tombs.

"Why did the guards move Luo Rong's grave? Because after tracking them to the grave, they saw them disappear near the grave and leaving traces of entering the grave on the ground. Before they could enter the grave, they stepped on the secret door during the process and suspected that the person was in the grave, and then they moved the grave."

"What did you find?"

"Luo Rong's coffin has been moved long ago."

“…How early?”

"The life nails on the coffin are exposed and rusted, and it will never be rare in the past. I'd better guess it's a possibility that he's passive soon after he was buried."

"…What about his body?!"

"No corpse."

"How could it not be?!"

"There are only objects to be buried with burial in the coffin, and the items such as the funeral books and other items during his lifetime are also there, but there is no corpse. However, because the lid of the coffin was obviously removed, it is not certain whether there has never been a corpse, or whether it is dragged away by the person who pried the coffin behind and destroyed it."

The King of Jin also frowned deeply, revealing an unsolved meaning.

Princess Jin sat down next to the desk, holding up the picture, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I always thought that Luo Rong's tomb was passive because of the part of the "crime" given to him by King Ning back then, but I didn't expect that his coffin had been pried. So in this way, even if the Luo family really put the evidence into the coffin, wouldn't it have fallen into the hands of others - Luo Rong wasn't dead, right?!

"How did the Luo family react to this?"

"The reaction afterwards was very fierce. You should have heard that they went to sue the official." King Jin sat down, "There is also a custom among the people to set up underground passages between the tombs of relatives, which is intended to allow each other to communicate with each other in the underworld, but it is usually not set up. According to the guards, after Luo Rong's tomb was passive, the Luo family almost fainted when they saw the passage in the tomb. It can be seen that this passage was not dug by the Luo family.

"Since the grave guard was specially arranged, under normal circumstances, no one would go to the grave to check carefully. Moreover, the secret doors entering the grave were very hidden. Therefore, those who set fire that night, including those who fled to the grave, could be sure that they were not from the Luo family, or the Luo family was instructed to do it.

"As for why the graves were dug, the guards began to dig the soil after they arrived at the place. The traces of the soil were discovered by the Luo family who came to visit the grave later."

"So what you mean is that Luo Rong was pried open the coffin shortly after he was buried and moved Luo Rong's body away? Has the coffin next to Luo Yingying been passive?"

"No. Luo Ying's coffin is pretty good. If Luo Rong didn't pretend to die, then you should have guessed it. After Luo Rong died, he was moved away with his body, but the Luo family did not find that the body was gone until the guards dug through the grave. Otherwise, there would be nothing strange about pretending to die. After all, Princess Ning, who pretended to die, was already the precedent."

Speaking of this, the King of Jin looked at the princess.

Princess Jin, who had a deep brow, also glanced at him when she heard this.

Princess Ning's deception was first, and indeed, it was not too surprising that someone later used such a trick.

But the situation in Luo Rong's tomb is still shocking. If he pretends to die, it would be a different matter. But if he thinks that a real person is dead, then how unethical the person who touches his coffin will be able to move his body away, so that even the bones cannot be buried in peace? No matter how you look at it, these people who are attacking will not be open-minded people, so you can basically judge that they will not be the emperor. From the perspective of time, they will not be the King of Qin and Han.

"What happened to the Luo family?" she asked. "How is the Luo family now?"

"The case has no result, but the disappearance of Luo Rong's body has not been reported. Perhaps, the Luo family is unwilling to make him lose his dignity again."

Princess Jin thought of the warrior he raised in private that Lu Zhan had met earlier, and said, "When did you raise the manpower?"

The King of Jin looked over and said, "Do you know?"

The princess didn't answer.

King Jin withdrew his gaze: "It was Lu Zhan who told you."

The princess breathed in: "So, you are not in the dark about everything."

Queen Jin leaned in the back of the chair, looking at the light and shadow underground without saying a word.

"Since that's the case, why does Luo Rong have this trouble? I guess you already know it now?"

The light and shadow of winter are particularly golden, and tiny dust particles float in the light columns. King Jin looked at them and said, "If I can avoid suspicion when I see such a situation in Luo Rong's grave, then I will naturally live for so many years in vain. But I still think that's what you did, and those lurking people are also the third wife. Think about it, it's easy for her to take a few people to the Luo family in more than ten or twenty years."

"But if a woman who is hard to survive, if she has the ability, why should she give her only flesh and blood to others to raise?"

The silent words of King Jin.
