The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 228 Autopsy
Shi Moer didn't expect Yu Qiansi to be so presumptuous. She wished she could bury her head in the ground and curl up into a ball, not daring to even breathe.

Yu Qiansi then withdrew his gaze and slowly looked at Shi Moer who was standing with his back bent.

He had a broad face and thick eyebrows, but a thin body, as if all the nutrients in his body were concentrated in his head. He looked to be in his early thirties, but he already had a lot of white hair.

She was wearing a half-worn but clean reddish-brown coarse linen short coat, with whitish patches on the elbows and cuffs. The stitches were sparse and it didn't look like it was made by someone skilled in needlework.

But he took great care of his clothes. When doing these things, he carefully rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves to reveal his strong muscles.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

Shi Moer was reluctant to wipe the mud on her hands onto her clothes, so she picked some leaves to wipe her hands. Upon hearing this, she quickly threw the leaves away and waved her hands: "No, no, it's a blessing for me that you can use my small things."

"Lead the way." Yu Qiansi made a "please" gesture, and Shi Moer bowed repeatedly and stepped back before stepping into the cave.

This time, Boyi fell behind Yu Qiansi and was the last one to enter the cave to cover their retreat.

Soon after the three of them entered the cave with their own lamps, they turned sharply downward and the cave became much narrower. Yu Qiansi had to lower his head slightly to barely stand up straight.

After descending a little further, they passed a smaller circular fork.

Shi Moer stopped at the entrance of the cave and reached out to touch the inside of the circular wall. Just then, a gust of cold wind blew out from the cave and blew on Shi Moer's face.

Fortunately, there was no strange smell. Shi Moer stood there for a moment before knocking off a small piece of soil from the wall of the cave and handing it to Yu Qiansi.

"Although we can't tell where we are in the mountains right now, judging from the traces of digging tools, this hole is at least three or four hundred years old. It's probably not what we're looking for."

Yu Qiansi indicated that he would be in charge of everything, and the three of them continued along the main road. Shi Moer stopped at forks in the road from time to time, touching the walls to identify tool marks and choosing the way.

We kept going down, and could only stand firmly on the steep parts relying on the small grooves dug by our predecessors, and the air became increasingly turbid.

Finally, Shi Moer stopped, panting, and said excitedly: "It's a pointed chisel, that's right! This is the craftsman's tool that has been popular in the past few decades!"

As he spoke, he leaned into the hole and dug around for a while, then said with certainty, "The groove on the pointed shovel handle in the middle of the hole is exactly one and a half fingers wide, absolutely correct!"

Yu Qiansi didn't understand the ins and outs of this, but he felt relieved when he heard Shi Moer's words.

She had already used up all her strength and was now holding on with just one breath.

I don’t know how long this journey took. Once the ceremony is over, it will be easy to reveal our true identity.

There was no time to lose. Shi Moer knew that she could not delay any longer and went into the cave first.

Fortunately, this is an escape route, so it bypasses all the traps and has a smooth journey.

When the three of them stood in the empty tomb, Yu Qiansi's legs began to tremble slightly.

Bo Yi held Yu Qiansi with one hand and held the lamp with the other to check the situation around him, feeling mixed emotions.

It turned out that this was where his mother was buried.

As the lights moved, a tiny bit of light appeared on a wall farther away from the three people.

Shi Moer turned around to look and exclaimed, her hoarse voice trembling with a few more tremors.

"Amethyst! This wall is actually made of amethyst!"

Boyi supported Yu Qiansi and walked over. Many facets stood at an angle, which was where the tiny rays of light came from.

Yu Qiansi raised her hand and touched it. The color was white with purple. She shook her head and said, "This is not amethyst, but purple quartz. They must have dug up a quartz mine and left it to serve as a natural tomb wall."

"Which side is the main tomb?" Yu Qiansi retracted his hand and looked at Shi Mo'er who was standing still. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This purple quartz is not worth much. After today's matter is over, if you can control your mouth, I can let you find some burial objects in the tomb that are easy to erase and sell for money."

Shi Moer swallowed her saliva and responded hurriedly, nodding her head continuously as if to calm herself down.

Even though he knew some Feng Shui, he was mostly a guide for gangs. Even if he found a good place to fight, he could only pick up some leftovers. Although it was safe, he couldn't make much money.

But my daughter's illness requires a mountain of gold and silver to be treated.

The soup that was given to him was just enough to keep his daughter alive.

Fortunately, he has a good reputation in the underworld, and many people are willing to seek his guidance.

The reason why I took this risk was because my daughter's illness was getting worse and could not be delayed any longer, so I took the risk and accepted this business.

After I came and found out it was Yu Qiansi, I was even more excited.

It is said that Yu Luosha is the future patriarch of the Yu family. If she completes the task well, even if she kills people to prevent the news from leaking, he can also kill himself, just asking her to save his daughter's life.

The door of the main tomb chamber was sealed with wax. He took out a needle-like tool from his bag and opened the door in no time.

After neatly dealing with the mechanism, the three of them stepped into the main tomb chamber.

Bo Yi saw the eternal lamps around him and lit them with a fire stick. The tomb was full of reliefs, with exquisite dragon patterns carved by light and shadow, converging on the dragon head in the center of the tomb.

The dragon head has purple crystal eyes, which flash faintly in the candlelight, as if looking down solemnly at the dragon coffin directly below.

In the middle of the tomb chamber, three coffins are placed side by side. The coffins on both sides of the dragon head are smaller, and phoenix tail carvings surround them.

Yu Qiansi let out a sigh of relief. After going through so much hardship, she finally arrived here.

Although she didn't know whether what she wanted would be concluded or not, she couldn't help but feel excited when she thought that behind the coffin was the end of Bo Yi's doubts.

Looking back, Shi Moer was kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the funerary objects in the main tomb chamber, as if her soul had been taken away.

Yu Qiansi reminded: "Gold is best, so it can easily erase the traces. As for the medicinal herbs, I will help you find them after I finish my work."

Shi Moer made an unclear sound, then came to his senses. He was not completely blinded by the gold and silver in front of him. He stood up and waited on the side. He watched Bo Yi approach the coffin, kneel on the ground and kowtow three times, then he followed them to the coffin on the left.

"That's it."

Shi Moer took out the tools for opening the coffin, and the three of them worked together to open the coffin.

A strong fragrance spread out, and Bo Yi was choked and took a step back.

"It's the soft corpse fragrance."

Shi Moer quickly stepped aside and moved against the wall into the shadow of the lamp.

Yu Qiansi saw that there was still doubt in Shi Moer's eyes, but he huddled aside and pretended that he saw nothing.

Yu Qiansi praised him in his heart, thinking he was a smart man.

Then he turned around, ordered Boyi to light the light, and started to work.

Before this trip, she went to the charity cemetery for several nights in a row and asked the coroner Xiao Zhang to teach her some simple inspection methods.

She closed her eyes and began to look for clues.
