Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 31
"But what would a person do with a corpse?" Jing Chun asked.

Several people couldn't answer for a while. Seeing this, Jing Chunhuang woke up Zhu Hong who had fainted beside him.

Seeing it suddenly, Zhu Hong let out another "wow".

Obviously, Zhu Hong is still in a state of nervous tension.

Jing Chun was the first to press Zhu Hong's shoulder, which gave him some comfort. Jiang Hejin felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw Jing Chun's hand on Zhu Hong's body.

"Let me ask you, what does a person want a dead body for?"

Zhu Hong held back two words for a while, "Is it useful?"

"and then?"

"Then?" Zhu Hong thought for a while, "I heard people from the older generation say that if someone asks for a dead body, it's for medicine?"

Jing Chun asked: "What kind of medicine is it?"

"How did I know?" Zhu Hong said angrily, scratched his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Hejin's majesty. He immediately retracted his hand and continued: "It's similar to the medicine that brings the dead back to life. I've heard some rumors before. It is said that some people with ulterior motives will use human heart, liver, spleen and lungs as medicine, and refine them into medicine, in order to bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate the old."

Jing Chun thinks it makes sense.

"What else?"

"And... ghost marriage?" Zhu Hong suddenly understood and said: "This kind of thing is common in our countryside. If a young man who is still young and not yet married dies suddenly, their parents will try their best to find a dead body to match the ghost. Marriage, it seems that the shorter the time of death, the higher the price... But in this kind of thing, many people ask for a woman to match the ghost marriage, how can anyone ask for a man... Does this count? "

As he said that, Zhu Hong also glanced in Jiang Hejin's direction, obviously seeking Jiang Hejin's advice.

But Jing Chun didn't notice it at all, and thought it was Zhu Hong who said it to her, so he nodded.

Unexpectedly, this timid caretaker has such experience.

Jing Chun continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"

"There is also a kind of..."

"What kind?"

Zhu Hong curled his lips, a little embarrassed, and said, "It doesn't seem like what happened in Yizhuang..."

"What is it?"

"It's the burial method..." Zhu Hong scratched his head, "It seems that some people want to be buried in water, some want to be cremated, and some want to be buried in the ground... There are many old people like this, and some of them have different opinions from their family members, so they take Buy a corpse with money, give the money to the person who changed the funeral ceremony in advance, and let the funeral ceremony person change the body after waiting for the dying thing, so I can choose the burial method I wanted during my lifetime..."

"Then why do you say this is not like Yizhuang's approach?"

Zhu Hong turned up his nose, patted his chest, and said, "I'm not going to lie, I followed Yizhuang since I was a child, and then I came to the capital. The capital is big, but from the south to the north, from the east to the west, There are so many families, but I have never seen a family buried in water? I have seen cremation. Basically, people have families and children. After the person dies, he goes directly to the crematorium and is burned. Who will bring justice? Zhuang..."

Jing Chun memorized them one by one, "Is there anything else?"

"No, that's all I know..."

Zhu Hong smiled coquettishly, then turned his gaze to Jiang Hejin, and asked cautiously: "I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Li is particularly capable of exploring the reason, why don't we go back and discuss it, this place is really... gloomy..."

"Really?" Jing Chun took a look and realized that today was actually a cloudy day. At least there was no moon yesterday. As Jiang Hejin said, the time to dig the grave would be between dusk yesterday or some time early this morning. hour.

Jiang Hejin also took a look around, and now the place is almost seen, but they didn't find any clues, and they planned to leave right away.

Jiang Hejin and Lu Chi walked in front, while Jing Chun and Zhu Hong walked in behind. The two parties walked in front of each other, keeping a distance of about two meters.

Jing Chun walked quietly beside Zhu Hong, poked Zhu Hong's shoulder, and lowered his voice: "How did that Yan Huai die?"

Zhu Hong's body turned cold, and he half cried and half murmured, "Girl, don't scare me..."

Jing Chun is not a person who is willing to give up, and he doesn't believe in those supernatural powers, so he said: "I have too many supernatural stories in my mind. If you don't tell me, then I will tell you..."

Zhu Hong quickly covered his ears and said, "I said I said... Mr. Yan took care of him... To put it in a bad way, his death is a bit self-inflicted..."

"How to say?"

Zhu Hong frowned, "His Royal Highness Prince Li took care of him and put him in high regard. Manager Yan did change at the beginning. He was no longer as timid and fearful as before when he spoke and acted. It only took two or three days for him to drift away. It was true." It's okay to do things like this and use that, and it makes a lot of people who are jealous, but he doesn't cherish the position of the general manager. This is the position of the general manager of Prince Li's Mansion, and the monthly money is not One and a half hours, what about him? He uses the money he gets from rewards to sell wine every night. He drinks medicine when he hurts his body. Isn’t he stupid? After drinking medicine, he drinks, tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhu Hong shook his head helplessly and continued: "So, when they saw him fainting, no one was willing to help him, and they panicked when they saw that he was out of breath. It has to be our Highness, Prince Li, in person. Money was provided to bury General Manager Yan, otherwise, look at any of these graves where there are fruit offerings, if it weren’t for His Royal Highness Prince Li, I wouldn’t have to come over to add incense and worship..."

Jing Chun pondered for a while, and then thought of the questioning of Jiang Hejin today, and what he had done was a bit too much, so he asked again: "Are you telling the truth?"

"How come it's not the truth?" Zhu Hong became anxious for a moment, pulled out the word "righteousness" embroidered on his clothes and said, "I don't like hearing this anymore, Yizhuang Yizhuang said the word "righteousness"."

Zhu Hongyou looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't telling lies the same as fooling ghosts?"

Jing Chun also felt that what Zhu Hong said was reasonable, so he let it go and just waited for an opportunity to apologize, after all, Jing Chun was rude and suspicious about this matter first.

Jing Chun suddenly remembered something and continued to ask: "How many people are guarding this Yizhuang?"

Zhu Hong held up three fingers and said: "Three, I, Lao Cheng, two years, I and two years are the ones who live in Lila on weekdays, and Lao Cheng is responsible for cleaning the bodies of those people, changing their shrouds, putting on shoes and so on .”

Jing Chun looked up and down the attention-grabbing figure. This figure can be regarded as slightly fat, but strength can be seen, and he is a person with flexible hands and feet.

Jing Chun lowered his voice and said, "May I offend you? Are they all of the same physique as you?"

On the other hand, Zhu Hong looked proud, and patted his arm, "We must have some strength to lift the corpse, otherwise we can get into the coffin by ourselves? I don't know much about Er Nian's figure, but he is taller than me Well, Lao Cheng is old and can no longer do the work of carrying corpses, and he has also lost a lot of weight."

While talking, Jiang Hejin couldn't help but glanced back. Although he didn't say anything, he could still see that he was concerned.
