Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 18 A hundred secrets and one sparse

"Erhu, knife!"

Lu Yuan approached the corpse of the plowing ox, stretched out his hand and shouted.

Next to him, Wang Erhu quickly handed over a sharp dagger. Taking the dagger, Lu Yuan gently cut open the hide of the ox, revealing the white skeleton.

He stretched out his fingers and gently crushed a rib. Then, Lu Yuan slowly stood up and walked to Yun Wan, bowing and saying, "The blood, flesh and bone marrow of the ox were all sucked out. This was done by the Gu Master in the Muyun wizard."

Yun Wan didn't say anything. Her beautiful eyes above the veil were fixed on a burnt black object with a faint golden tint on the tray next to her.

Clang!
She slowly drew out her sword, then picked up the burnt object, shook it gently, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.

"Golden Embroidery..."

"These are my second uncle's shoes!"

Fang Xu never imagined that the Huangzhou Yun family's dazzling gold embroidery skills could actually prevent fire. A fire burned all the bodies, but the pair of broken boots were still left.

However, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that a pair of boots embroidered with dazzling gold thread can be worth hundreds of gold. If it is not special at all, it is really unreasonable.

"Where did you find this thing?!" Holding the dazzling gold-embroidered boots with a long sword, Yun Wan looked at Liao Yunfeng with sharp eyes.

"Miss Yun, it's at the charity cemetery outside the town!" Liao Yunfeng did not dare to hesitate and replied quickly.

"Charity cemetery?" Yun Wan was puzzled.

On the side, Zheng Ming, the prison official of Qinghe County, hurriedly saluted and said, "After Wang Ergou's body was discovered, it was transported to the charity cemetery by Fenglin Town's censor for temporary custody."

"However, some time ago, Wang Ergou's widow, Wang, went to the charity cemetery to pay tribute and burned some paper money. Unfortunately, the fire leaked out and the entire charity cemetery was burned to ashes."

Hearing this, Yun Wan's face turned slightly cold.

It seems that my second uncle must have died and his body was burned clean in the fire, leaving only this pair of dazzling gold-embroidered boots.

So... where did that thing go?

Two months ago, Second Uncle Yun Tianhe received news that someone had discovered an ancient relic deep in Tilan Mountain. According to observations, the relic was very old and seemed to be the place where a martial arts master had passed away.

After secretly executing all those who knew about the situation, Yun Tianhe personally led people to investigate, and then sent back a secret letter saying that he had obtained a mysterious practice method in the ruins. He also stated in the secret letter that they had encountered wizards from the Muyun Kingdom and some powerful mysterious people inside Tilan Mountain, and requested the family to send someone to pick them up.

In order not to attract the attention of other forces, the Yun family sent several teams into the mountain from various parts of Tilan Mountain, but in the end they failed to find any trace of Yun Tianhe and others.

Yun Wan came to Qinghe County from Huangzhou this time. On the one hand, she needed some experience after reaching the ninth level of martial artist. On the other hand, she also wanted to try her luck and see if she could find Yun Tianhe.

"Go and check immediately who sent my second uncle's body to the charity cemetery." Yun Wan said coldly after glancing at Huang Dechuan, the mayor of Fenglin Town.

Huang Dechuan was shocked when he heard this, and while he ordered people to investigate, he was also complaining in his heart.

He never imagined that the second master of the Yun family, who was so honorable, would die in the territory under the jurisdiction of Fenglin Town. This was simply unfortunate!

Looking at the pair of broken boots hanging on Yun Wan's sword, Lu Yuan's expression was solemn.

The second master of the Yun family, Yun Tianhe, is dead!

And died in Fenglin Town!
Is this incident related to the witch who killed Wang Ergou?
If the two are the same person, then this matter is not something he can solve. After all, the second master of the Yun family is far more powerful than him.

"Ms. Yun, this matter may be a little tricky. Should we ask the Supervisory Department for help..."

“No need.” Yun Wan raised her hand to interrupt Lu Yuan, and glanced at everyone present and said coldly: “Don’t spread this matter, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”

Although Tilan Mountain is within the territory of Dayu, it is first and foremost in Huangzhou Prefecture. The Yun family occupies Huangzhou Prefecture, and although they still respect the royal family in name, the matter of the ruins cannot be known to the royal family.

Once the Supervisory Office intervenes, the royal family will definitely take over the entire ruins, and the Yun family will probably only be able to benefit.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in agreement.

"Then where does Wang live?" Yun Wan thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

In the hall, Wang Erhu's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he finally said with a stiff face, "Miss, Wang is my sister-in-law." Yun Wan glanced at him and said calmly, "Take me there."

Under the guidance of Wang Erhu, Yun Wan soon arrived at the courtyard where Wang lived.

"Miss, please." Wang Erhu pushed open the gate and respectfully invited Yun Wan into the courtyard.

At this time, Wang was washing clothes. Suddenly, she saw her uncle leading a noble woman in. She hurriedly came up to them and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, this lady is..."

Wang Erhu hurriedly introduced: "Sister-in-law, this is Miss Yun."

"Ms. Yun... Miss Yun!" Wang looked at Yun Wan in shock, then bowed in a panic, "I greet Miss Yun."

Yun Wan nodded slightly: "No need to be polite, I came here to ask you something."

Wang nodded a little stiffly: "Miss, please...please speak."

It was already known to everyone that Yun Wan had tortured and killed Zhang Mingliang in public and forced Zhang Hong to death. Coupled with her noble status and cold temperament, Wang felt suffocated by an invisible pressure just by facing her.

"Before the fire at the charity cemetery, did you meet anyone else going to the charity cemetery?"

Wang was slightly stunned and shook her head, saying, "No, when Brother Fang and I arrived at the charity cemetery, it was already dark. The place is gloomy and scary, and no one usually goes near it."

"Brother Fang...who are you?" Yun Wan frowned.

Wang Erhu, who was standing by, immediately bowed and said, "Miss, it's Fang Xu. He lives not far from the west of the town."

Wang also hurriedly continued, "Brother Fang once led the young lady on the road."

Yun Wan suddenly realized and remembered the young man who took her to Zhang's house that day.

"Go find him. I have something to ask him."

Upon hearing this, Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed.

……

In the small courtyard, Fang Xu bowed slightly towards Yun Wan: "Miss Yun."

He didn't know why Yun Wan came to Wang's house at this time and asked Wang to call her over.

"Before the fire in the charity cemetery that day, did you go with her?" Yun Wan asked.

Fang Xu's heart trembled, and he tried his best to control his expression and bowed: "That's right."

"Did you meet other people when you two went to the charity cemetery?" Yun Wan asked again.

Fang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head: "I haven't seen anyone else, not even the person guarding the charity cemetery."

The person who guards the charity cemetery...

Yun Wan frowned slightly, and suddenly seemed to think of a possibility.

She had already observed the dazzling gold-thread embroidered boots and found that the dark layer on the sole had been opened. It must be that her second uncle had stuffed something into the dark layer of the dazzling gold-thread embroidered boots before his death.

The existence of the dazzling gold-embroidered boots in the hidden layer is the secret of the Yun family. Unless he is sure that he is absolutely safe, the second uncle will not choose to hide things in the hidden layer.

This means that those who killed his second uncle most likely did not obtain the cultivation method.

Now that the skills are gone, there are only two people who are most likely to have taken them away. One is the person who discovered the body, and the other is the person who is guarding the charity cemetery.

"Miss Yun, the person who discovered the Second Master's body has been found!"

At this moment, Huang Dechuan and a group of examiners pushed two figures, one old and one young, into the courtyard from outside.
