Chapter 50 Opening the Coffin
After offering incense, the silver-faced guard announced in his calm tone, "The murder case in Kyoto is becoming more and more rampant. I was ordered to come here to investigate. I suspect that the death of Huan Yuyao in Yu Yaojue Mansion is related to this case. I come here to open the coffin for autopsy. I hope everyone will cooperate!"
As soon as these words came out, a pot exploded in front of the mourning hall.
Some people are afraid, "Murder and heart-digging case? No way, was Uncle Beiming killed by the heart-digging madman?"
"Bah! What are you talking about? Beiming died of premature aging due to hard work. He didn't have a capable son to help him, so he died early. It has nothing to do with the murder case in Kyoto... Lord Yinmian, we can guarantee that we have seen Beiming's body. His heart is still there, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
There was a Lingbao imprint on this person's wrist, and he showed the imprint on the hand bowl vaguely, so Huan Qingyan could see it.
Huan Qingyan didn't panic, for things like silver-faced guards investigating cases would definitely not be persuaded by these people.
Sure enough, the silver-faced guard's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Is there any problem, you don't care. Open the coffin!"
Seeing the strength of the silver-faced guards, the relatives did not dare to contradict them, so they could only drag Mrs. Huan to reprimand, "You woman, your husband will be buried soon, and the bearers of the coffin are waiting outside. The auspicious day for the burial has arrived, and the coffin has been nailed to death just now. Wouldn't it be safe to open the coffin now? Don't you know how to say something?"
"Also, Qingyan, it's not that the elders say you're not filial. How good is your father to you? You just suddenly brought in an official family member to open your father's coffin? Be careful that your father will not rest in peace. He crawled out of the ground to find you in the middle of the night..."
Mrs. Huan was trained to be spitting on her face, and she was afraid that her family members would spoil her daughter's reputation. In this era, it is so heavy to buckle a big hat of unfilial piety. She would rather these people scold her, but she also wants to protect her daughter's reputation.
So aggrieved, he turned to the silver-faced guard, "My lord, I hope you hold your hands high..."
Huan Qingyan felt more and more that there was something wrong with this group of relatives, why did she repeatedly stop the opening of the coffin for autopsy? Is there something shameful?
The silver-faced guard didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, so he took out a silver token and flashed it at everyone, "Those who hinder official duties, cut first and then play!"
He personally walked to the edge of the coffin, stretched out two fingers, and placed them on top of the coffin. I don't know how he did it, but the coffin lid, which was nailed to death, was instantly removed by a big gap...
Seeing that the matter had come to this point and it was irreversible, those clan relatives all stopped talking.
Feeling guilty, he had already slipped out quietly, not knowing what to do.
Huan Qingyan rushed over, and she saw the scene in the coffin.
Father was lying face down at the bottom of the coffin, wearing only a white underclothes, other than that, the coffin was empty...
Mrs. Huan also saw it, and was shocked, "Ah, who turned Beiming's body like this? Why are all the funerary objects missing? The three treasures of the food master, gold, silver and jade, flowers and plants with spiritual energy... and the jade robe that Beiming was wearing are gone?"
Huan Qing's face turned cold, not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry that was buried with him. My father was an imperial cooker during his lifetime, and he had a set of three treasures specially bestowed by the royal family, the cooking pot, cooking knife, and cooking shovel, all of which are worth a lot of money! It's gone now?
Even his clothes were taken away? These people are simply vicious!
