I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 127 Two black rings?

In the Tsing Yi Department and the Council Hall, all the senior officials were silent at this moment.

Some haven't understood it yet and are experiencing it carefully, while some can't accept the fact and are thinking about it.

Cao An looked at the apples on the table that had been torn apart and sacrificed gloriously for the sake of demonstration, and he couldn't accept it for a moment.

To put it simply, in the thirty-seventh year of Wanjingli, a heaven-shaking earthquake did occur.

But it was not that an extraterrestrial stone fell from the sky, nor was there an auspicious birth, but that the tomb of Emperor Wanhe cracked open.

It took a long time for Cao An to recover from the news of such an explosion. Weird things happened every year, but this was the first time he heard about the cracked tomb.

According to Ying Changfeng's description, Emperor Wanhe's tomb did indeed have a big opening in the middle.

This kind of ground cracking was definitely not an ordinary disaster, but a force erupted from inside the tomb, cracking the ground.

As we all know, the emperor's tombs were built with a huge amount of manpower and material resources. In order to ensure the emperor's peace, multiple defensive formations were erected inside, which were very strong.

Even Gao Dong, the most powerful gold digger, thinks he can't break through, which shows how powerful he is.

But it exploded inexplicably back then. There is no doubt that there must be a huge secret hidden in the late emperor's tomb.

"But how many secrets can be hidden in a tomb of a deceased emperor?" Cao An asked curiously.

Ying Changfeng shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. After all, it is an imperial mausoleum. My responsibility is only to provide military support."

"Force? Did the corpse mutate in the tomb?"

"There are some, but more often than not, the guards' ingenuity was activated, and the guard array was out of control."

When the emperor died, many people were buried with him.

Some of the corpses mutated and turned into ghosts demanding their lives, so it was reasonable to send Ying Changfeng to help.

But what is very strange is that the Ministry of Industry seems to have completely lost control of the secret skills of the agencies. The agency guards among them are very capable of killing anyone they see, which makes Ying Changfeng very puzzled.

He also worked hard to suppress the self-defeating war.

"Have you seen the late emperor's body?" Cao An asked with concern.

"I didn't see it. The late emperor's body is in the deeper main tomb. Several officials went down to take a look. According to them, it was not damaged."

"Only the officials are going down? What about Emperor Wan Jing?"

"The emperor didn't go down. The evil atmosphere below was very strong. I was afraid that he would be hurt, so I just stayed and watched from the outside for a while."

Ying Changfeng was a participant, and he was also a general at that time. When encountering such a situation, it must be handled by the emperor's trusted civilian officials, who cannot have access to the core secrets, which is normal.

But isn’t your statement that the emperor was so evil that he would not go to the tomb too far-fetched?
  21 years ago, the emperor was protected by a golden arowana. His body was so weak?

"Tch, it's impossible for me to get up and mess with him after I stopped worrying." Zhu Xian wiped the oil from his mouth and joked carelessly from the side.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was looking at him.

Zhu Xian was stunned: "It all depends on what I do, just talk casually... You won't really get up, will you?"

Ying Changfeng didn't know what happened to the late emperor's body.

But it stands to reason that the location of the late emperor's tomb is an absolute geomantic treasure, and there is also Emperor Wanhe's dragon energy suppressing it. It stands to reason that there should be no wronged souls.

But now there are so many innocent souls that the army has to be dispatched to suppress them. No one will believe you if you say there is nothing strange happening in the mausoleum.

But it's useless to speculate. They only have this little information, and no matter how much analysis they do, they can't come up with the results.

"Let's listen to Sanyang's story. Why do you think the cracking of the imperial mausoleum has something to do with the Ye family's destruction?"

"Because I saw a batch of treasures before the incident happened." Sanyang's voice was low, and the evil nature in his body began to surge again.

This feeling is like blood pressure. It makes you angry as soon as you mention it. The speed of getting angry is so fast that no matter how much medicine you take, you can't suppress it.

……

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanjingli, the tomb opened. Although Sanyang didn't know the inside story, he clearly remembered that just after the auspicious announcement came out, his family received a big order.

The Ye family are ship merchants. They have a wharf that they operate and have several large ships that ply the waterways for business. They live a prosperous life.

But even under such circumstances, his father was still very excited, announcing that their Ye family was going to be prosperous, and the rich man in the capital gave them a big order.

Sanyang remembered that during that time, the whole clan was mobilized, and dozens of boxes were transported to the ship and taken to Qingyang County for temporary storage.

In the spring of the thirty-eighth year of Wanjingli, the Ye family completed the order, and then all they had to do was wait for the wealthy businessman to pick up the goods and transport the goods away by carriage.

But at this moment, something happened, and a sealed box cracked.

"Wait, why did it crack again? How many times will it crack?"

Cao An can't stand it anymore. In the past two years, has it become popular to split it on its own?
  "It's true. The cargo boxes were placed in the warehouse at that time and were strictly guarded. Because they were made of special stainless steel, we couldn't open them. We didn't expect to blow up one of the boxes ourselves."

Sanyang knows very well that if it is ordinary transportation damage, as long as the goods inside are not damaged, it will not have much impact if they pay for some transportation boxes.

But when his father saw the goods inside, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked panicked, as if he had seen his own death approaching.

"What is it?"

"Jewelry, I was still young at that time. I took a sneak peek and recognized that they were jewelry. But the elders of the whole family had passed by, and it seemed that the problem was very serious." After the auspicious announcement was issued, a large number of orders appeared. It’s hard not to relate.

Now Ying Changfeng has brought up what happened back then, and the inside story turned out to be that the imperial mausoleum was cracked, so the batch of jewelry transported by the Ye family is probably...

"The funerary objects, the funerary objects of Emperor Wanhe." Cao An thought as he placed the jade bottle with no dragon pattern in his arms on the table.

No wonder Ye Siyi handed this bottle to Tisi before he died. The bottle itself was a clue.

It’s no wonder that even gold touch customers can’t tell the authenticity, because this bottle is real.

Some officials took advantage of the cracks in the cemetery to steal the funerary objects from it, then transported them out of the city through the Hanoi dock and stored them in Qingyang County.

I don't want a box to suddenly explode, revealing the jewelry inside.

As a businessman, Sanyang's father must also have studied antiques, and he quickly analyzed the origin.

Stealing the treasures of the imperial mausoleum is a capital crime! Even if they were just helping with transportation, they would not be spared, which is why they were so panicked at that time.

Unexpectedly, before the death penalty came, those behind the scenes had already arrived in advance and slaughtered the entire Ye family in an attempt to cover up the evidence of their crimes.

The only variable was that among the funerary objects, there was a treasure that gave Sanyang some evil power. He killed his enemies and was later taken care of by a Buddhist monk.

Later, they sent people to rush there and found that everyone was dead. Although the goods were there, only the secret treasure was missing.

Only then did the six-door notice of closing the case come out, hoping to use the inheritance to lure out the orphans of the Ye family.

"So, what is that secret treasure? This matter is quite crucial." Cao An looked at Sanyang, hoping that he could hold on.

Sanyang is getting angrier now as he thinks about it more and more, his eyes have turned from red to black, strange lines appear on his face, and he may go crazy at any time.

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

In my mind, I tried hard to recall what happened back then.

"That's a small brocade box, the stainless steel cargo box it broke through.

"That group of people broke into my home and killed me. I was unable to resist, so I could only hide in the ancestral hall with my father and the others. Unfortunately, the bad guys chased me.

"My father was stabbed in the neck and fell in a pool of blood without closing his eyes. The brocade box in his hand also fell out.

"In the brocade box, there is a damaged ring. The ring setting has been shattered. The inlaid gems rolled to the ground, stained with blood, and emitted a black light.

"I heard those people laughing and thought this ring was what they were looking for."

Sanyang was breathing heavily, his eyes had turned black, and he was on the verge of going berserk.

But in this case, the memories can no longer stop, and Cao An already has speculations in his mind.

And this guess still has one last question left.

"Where is the broken ring? Where is it now?"

"I was very angry and helpless. I didn't want them to get the ring easily. So, I swallowed the gem. Roar!!!"

Sanyang ran away violently, Yang Tian roared angrily, the black energy on his body surged, and he entered the madness again.

then……

Ying Huorong took action. To be precise, it was the Red Fox Queen who took action.

boom!
  He punched Sanyang on the head. This punch was a bit more brutal than usual, knocking Sanyang to the ground on the spot.

Then he stepped on Sanyang's body, took out a knife from somewhere in his hand, and prepared to disembowel him.

"I'm just going to tell you where your evil spirit comes from. It turns out that you ate the black ring. Please bear with me. I'll help you take it out now!"

"Hey? Red Fox, calm down!"

……

After Sanyang finished telling the story, he stormed off.

Also going berserk was Red Fox. Everyone rushed over to start a fight, and the scene fell into chaos for a time.

Cao An rolled his eyes, turned around and left the council hall, closed the door for everyone who was noisy inside, and stood alone in the corridor, deep in thought.

The situation back then was already very clear.

Someone took advantage of the cracks in the imperial mausoleum and used some means to steal the funerary objects and handed them to the Ye family to transport out of the city. But just when the other party wanted to kill someone and silence them, Sanyang swallowed the secret treasure and killed them.

Among them, there were two changes.

The first time was when the imperial mausoleum split open, and the second time was when Sanyang went berserk.

If the guess is correct, the ring described by Sanyang should be the black ring.

It was the ring that Emperor Wan Jing reportedly offered to kill Emperor Wan He.

After the death of Emperor Wanhe, the ring did not disappear, but the ring holder was broken into pieces, put in a brocade box, and buried together in the imperial mausoleum.

But if the gem of the black ring was really swallowed by Sanyang, what would he have in his hand?
  Are there two black rings?
  What is the meaning behind it?
