Chapter 1149 Corpse in the Coffin
After taking the water and medicine, Shen Wen still coughed badly.

A soldier lit a candle on the wall, covered the lamp with paper, turned around, and realized that a pool of bright red blood had spit out on the ground in front of him.

A few soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, standing frozen in the dark room.

Behind them is Fan Zhuyi who is watching more coldly.

Coughing and coughing, Shen Wen suddenly said: "Zhiyan! You are outside, right?"

A few thin and straight rays of light came out from the small hole of the candlelight, falling on the cold and handsome face, the brilliance was half-bright and half-extinguished, and the bright part was as bright as the moon.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen Wen coughed more and more fiercely, and vomited another mouthful of blood.

The people around couldn't help but look at Shen Lie.

Shen Lie's face remained calm, but the slender fingers of his left hand, which was alone behind him, were slightly clenched.

Suddenly, Shen Lie turned around.

Du Xuan was startled, and almost subconsciously put his hand on his arm, and said in a very low voice: "Master!"

Shen Lie looked at him sideways, his black eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and then he lifted his foot and left without saying a word, and when he passed the stone door facing the entrance of the dark room, he didn't look back.

Du Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, he thought...

Stepping over the threshold and coming out, Shen Lie stood on the stone steps under the eaves in front of the door, looking at the moon that appeared in the sky at an unknown time.

The wind is still cold, passing one after another Qionglou Yuyu in Qufu, stirring up green leaves and blooming flowers.

Du Xuan and others followed.

"Master." Du Xuan stepped forward and said.

Shen Lie looked at the sky and asked, "Is he still coughing?"

"Um……"

Shen Lie closed his eyes.

Under the curtain of the moonlight, the garden was covered in silver, and he wore a clear water long coat in the color of the waves, which restrained his usual determination and added introversion and calmness. The wind around him was so fierce, he was the only one who was elegant and peaceful.

After a while of silence, Shen Lie looked at Du Xuan: "You go back to Qingyue Pavilion first, and I'll go to the Yamen."

Du Xuan knew who he wanted to see when he went to the yamen, so he didn't persuade him, he just said: "Master, it's not good to stay up too late, come back earlier."

Shen Lie didn't look back, and responded lightly.

After he left, Du Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the entrance of the secret passage in the lobby.

The entrance was very quiet, but Du Xuan seemed to be able to hear Shen Yan's coughing.

Du Xuan sighed softly, and a secret worry floated in his heart.

Such worries would appear every time she got close to Shen Fan.

Chen Yunqi was running stumblingly, her embroidered shoes were already soaked in the flood water, she was looking around, looking for the way, not knowing where was the direction out of the city.

Finally, she walked into a dilapidated small courtyard with her skirt in hand.

The moonlight fell on the house, and the corners of the eaves dripping with water were shining. Chen Yunqi gasped and pushed aside the wood blocking the way. There were many leaks in the house. She took advantage of the thin moonlight outside to look at the furnishings in the house with difficulty.

Her eyes fell on the large dark cabinet ten steps away. She walked quickly and reached out to touch it. The arc was smooth and round, very moist, but still mostly dry.

She stood on her tiptoes and was about to climb up, when she was startled and looked down at the wooden surface supported by her hands.

This, this is not a cabinet!
Chuzheng kept chasing after her. After she tore her clothes and tied up several wounds on her body, she kept chasing people.

After finding this area, she couldn't find Chen Yunqi. She stopped and looked around angrily, and saw Chen Yunqi suddenly running out of a dilapidated small courtyard in panic.

Chu Zheng's eyebrows were raised upside down, and he ran immediately.

"Coffin!" Chen Yunqi pointed to the small courtyard after seeing her, "There is a coffin in there!"

As soon as the words were finished, Chu Zheng grabbed her by the neck, Chen Yunqi's brows and eyes suddenly frowned, and he tried to break Chu Zheng's fingers with both hands.

Chuzheng's strength was almost exhausted, and she could hardly exert herself. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "How dare you betray me!"

"We are together..." Chen Yunqi said with difficulty, "But, I don't want to see you indiscriminately killing innocent people..."

"What kind of person are you?!"

"Forgive me, let's go find Ali... Your enemy is not me!"

Chu Zheng closed her eyes, and with a sudden force, Chen Yunqi was thrown to the ground by her.

"Ahem..." Chen Yunqi coughed violently, looked up at Chuzheng limping towards the courtyard, and shouted, "There's a coffin in there!"

"Even Hades, I want him to kowtow to me!"

Chen Yunqi got up and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back.

Chuzheng found a long piece of wood at the door and used it as a walking stick.

All the way into the house, she used long logs to explore the way, and she couldn't see her fingers in the house. Chuzheng subconsciously reached into her arms, took out the fire pockets, and then remembered that she had just fallen into the water, and these firearms were useless long ago.

"That coffin is new," Chen Yunqi whispered at the door, "The lid of the coffin is smooth to the touch, and the paint feels round. There is a very high possibility that..."

She dared not go on.

"Afraid of death?" Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Chen Yunqi didn't speak.

Chuzheng walked inside, using the moonlight to distinguish the way, and found the coffin that Chen Yunqi had mentioned. She raised her hand to touch it, and it was indeed the feeling Chen Yunqi described.

"That's right, it's a new coffin."

Her fingers slid down along the coffin lid, and she tried to move it with sudden force, but because of her arm injury, her palm slipped off her hand.

When the severe pain came, Chuzheng gritted her teeth, turned her head and scolded angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, come and help me!"

Chen Yunqi's face turned pale with fright: "If there is a corpse inside..."

"Who parked the corpse here? It's not Yizhuang!"

"But……"

"This coffin is very weird, come quickly!"

Chen Yunqi took a deep breath and had no choice but to walk.

The two girls worked hard together, and the coffin was much heavier than expected.

Finally moved a crack, and a strong stench rushed over in an instant.

Chen Yunqi covered her mouth with her forearm, turned sideways and retched.

"Really dead?" Chu Zheng frowned.

The light in the room was already dim, and the coffin was even darker, so it was impossible to see whether the deceased was male or female, old or young.

"Useless trash," Chu Zheng said angrily, "Come here, continue!"

With her back turned to her, Chen Yunqi cried, "The dead are the greatest, let him rest in peace!"

"I'll count to three, if you don't come over, I'll press the back of your neck and push you in!"

Chen Yunqi cried more and more fiercely, finally turned around and raised her hand to help.

The gaps in the coffin became wider and wider, and the stench became stronger.

After moving away, Chuzheng reached in and fumbled.

Chen Yunqi closed her eyes tightly, not daring to listen to the crackling sound coming from inside the coffin.

After a long while, Chuzheng said, "There are no bugs yet, and there is no rot."

"It can be seen that he didn't die for long." Chen Yunqi whispered.

"You think it's strange," Chuzheng raised his eyebrows, "Why is a corpse that just died here placed here? It's a relative, a mourning hall. And this coffin is made of good wood."

As soon as she said that, Chen Yunqi turned to look at the coffin: "...is the identity of the deceased unusual?"

"It doesn't matter how ordinary he is, at least those who can afford such a coffin will not be poor. Let's just sit back and wait, even if it's a robbery."

With that said, Chuzheng grabbed the lid of the coffin: "Cover it."
