Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 213 Refining
The morning bell in the Forbidden City rings, and a new day begins.

In the backyard of Zha's warehouse, the little eunuch was outside, sweeping the courtyard with a broom.

The window of the main room was open, Chen Danian was sitting by the bed, gently peeling the eggs with his fingers.He has no way of peeling eggs with others. Others just knock a few times to break the egg shells and then peel them.

As for him, the whole egg is held in rough hands.Then slowly let go of the hand, and the eggshell powder shattered, revealing the crystal clear white egg white inside.

Chen Danian peeled two eggs, put them in the sticky millet porridge, poured in a plate of pickles, held the bowl and began to eat.

He ate quickly, as if he was sucking, and the bowl in his hand was empty in the blink of an eye.Then with his bare fingers, he scraped together the last bit of sticky soup in the bowl and brought it to his mouth.

After the last bite of food, the little eunuch came in after cleaning the courtyard, cleaned up the dishes, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, why do you eat so clean!"

Chen Danian didn't even raise his eyelids, and scolded while making tea, "You forget your roots after only a few days of full food? You are also a child of a poor family, don't you know what a crime it is to waste food?" He raised his head and continued to scold Said, "You just caught up with the good times, otherwise, hum!"

"What kind of world has caught up with you little one!" The little eunuch is quite close to Chen Danian, and he is not afraid of him, "How can a good world be sold into the palace?"

"Broken by mother's plague!" Chen Danian laughed and scolded again, "The world is so bad that you don't even have a chance to enter the palace!" As he spoke, his smile disappeared, "Either starve to death, or be killed and eaten!"

These gloomy words made the little eunuch shudder and dare not say any more.

Suddenly, Chen Danian's ears perked up, and he looked outside the courtyard, "Shunzi, go see who's here?"

"Someone? Why didn't I hear it?" The little eunuch named Shunzi put down what he was doing, opened the door and went out.

As soon as he went out, he met Gou Er, who was disheveled and staggered as he walked.

"Eunuch Gou?" Xiao Shunzi asked, "This early in the morning?"

"Is godfather there?" Gou Er's voice was a little panicked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Danian stood at the window and waved to him.

~~~
"Godfather!" As soon as he entered the door, Gou'er knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"I was in a panic early in the morning!" Chen Danian made tea for himself, gently blowing the tea leaves, "What happened?"

"Yes!" Gou crawled forward with both hands and feet, and said in a low voice, "Something happened!" He said, swallowing, "The dowry nurse next to the Crown Princess and Concubine died last night! Say yes, fall into the water and drown." dead!"

Chen Danian paused the hand holding the tea bowl, "Did you see the corpse?"

"I didn't see the villain. I heard someone shouting from the garden in the morning. The people who passed said it was Nanny Lu!" Gou'er's voice trembled. Yes, let someone fish it out, make a fuss about it, and say that it will be sent out of the palace for burial!"

Seeing his frightened appearance, Chen Danian smiled, "What are you afraid of?" He said, "You also feel strange!"

"Yes! My son's counterpart, Nanny Zhang, and Nanny Lu are cousins, and she won't even let her see the corpse when she goes!" Gou Er whispered, "Besides, Nanny Lu is the dowry of the princess, and everyone in the family There are people who work as slaves in the house of the Crown Princess. Even if they fall into the water and die, they have to be sent back home to let relatives see that they are buried. Why did Zhen Buren directly order that the practitioners should be sent to the Zhongguan Temple outside?"

"Besides, Nanny Lu is not old enough to be dim-sighted, why did she suddenly fall into the water! Even if she fell into the water, you can still hear cries for help in the nearby yards!"

Chen Danian listened to his babbling, and kept silent until he finished speaking, before opening his mouth, "How is your pair of food?"

"Just crying!" Gou Er said, "I'm crying so hard!"

"Is Nanny Lu living alone?" Chen Danian asked again.

"Yes! She is the person next to the princess, she has face!" Gou'er said.

Chen Danian thought about it, "Since I live alone, there must be things in the house, why don't you clean up your food?"

Gou'er was taken aback for a moment, and then said loudly, "Son, go and talk to her right away!"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Danian called him, thought for a moment, and sighed slightly, "If it's as I thought, someone might have already checked it!" Then he paused, "It's okay to go, the person is dead , always find something to think about!"

Gou Er listened with a half-knowledge, but when he thought about it for a moment, his expression changed drastically.

Yes, if Nanny Lu was really murdered, then her residence must have been searched inside and out.

"You just said that the corpse is going to be refined?" Chen Danian continued to ask.

"Yes, when my son came here just now, he saw Zhang Wushou, the little eunuch next to Zhen Buren, waiting for someone to push the cart and go outside!" Gou'er said in a low voice, "If my son's guess is not bad, he should be sent to the refinery. There it is!"

Far away from the Forbidden City, in the most remote and desolate place in the capital, next to the mass graves, there is a refinery.Used for refining, those servants who died suddenly.

What Gou Er said was right there.

"Okay!" A smile appeared on Chen Danian's face, "I know!"

Saying that, he stood up, took off his hat from the wall and put it on, then took out a waist card from the cabinet and put it on his body, "Shunzi, go out with grandpa!"

"Okay!" Xiao Shunzi happily agreed.

~~~~
In the vast wilderness outside the city, there is a courtyard that looks like a ruined temple, leaning against the foot of the mountain.

Under the sun, the yard looked gray, and it was a bit oozingly quiet.Looking along the courtyard hill, there are densely packed graves, and occasionally wild dogs and other things come out of the graves and rush into the dense forest.

Close to the mass graves, no matter how good the place is, it becomes gloomy.

But around this small courtyard, the vegetation is very lush and verdant.

The little eunuch Zhang Wufu stopped outside the door with a few eunuchs from the palace.There is also a unicycle with me.The car is covered with thick straw curtains, in the shape of a long strip.

"Damn, I'm exhausted!" Zhang Wufu wiped the sweat off his head, "I've worn out my shoes all this way!"

Behind him, a little eunuch smiled flatteringly, "After you become the head eunuch, you will be able to sit in a sedan chair when you leave the palace!"

"Sooner or later!" Although Zhang Wufu is not very old, he is the person next to the chief eunuch, so his status is naturally different from others.

He smiled triumphantly, and then shouted into the yard, "Where is Ma San, Ma San, where did he die?"

"Here we come!" After the words fell, an old man with a hunchback and a face like orange peel ran out of it, and when he saw Zhang Wufu, he nodded and bowed and said, "Elder-in-law, the little one is here!"

Zhang Wufu looked at him in distaste, and threw a badge over him, "If someone dies, you will be refined!"

"Dare to ask eunuch Gao's name?" the old man smiled obsequiously.

"Zhang!" Zhang Wufu was a little impatient, "Hurry up, the men are rushing back to work!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, the little old man never delays!" He said, walking to the wheelbarrow behind, wanting to reach out his hand.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Wufu scolded angrily.

The old man's hand trembled, "The villain wants to see it?"

"Look at what?"

"Everyone who is sent here has to be authenticated, and then record the cause of death!" the old man said.

"What's the matter with Fei? Can I still send you a living person?" Zhang Wufu said loudly.

The old man smiled, nodded and bowed, "Yes!"

Afterwards, Zhang Wufu took out two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve, weighed them in his hands a few times, and threw them over, "Here! Tell you, practice carefully!"

"Little old man!" The old man picked it up gratefully and put it in his arms. "You guys are sitting and drinking tea in the room. Little old man, let's start a fire and light the stove!"

"Hurry up, who the hell will drink your tea, bad luck!" Zhang Wufu cursed with a smile, and went into the courtyard and sat in the shade.

"Yes Yes!"

With a smile on his lips, the old man pushed the wheelbarrow carrying the corpse into the side room.

Then take the big iron hook and push open the door next to it.

As soon as the door was opened, an indescribable smell gushed out from inside.

Zhang Wufu outside immediately covered his mouth and nose, with a bit of fear between his brows.

~~~~
The wheelbarrow was placed quietly in the house.

There was a side door in the room, which opened silently, revealing the figures of Chen Danian and Xiao Shunzi.

"Go, open it and have a look!" Chen Danian ordered.

"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi nodded, stepped forward lightly, first bowed to the wheelbarrow, "Don't blame me, I'm here to help you!"

Then kowtowed and got up, untied the rope of the straw curtain, revealing the ferocious face of Nanny Lu inside.

"Grandpa, he didn't drown!" Xiao Shunzi looked at it and said, "The drowned person has water in his mouth and nose, and his eyes are bulging!"

With that said, continue to look down.

"It was strangled!" Xiao Shunzi said, "There are traces of the rope on the neck! The throat bone is broken!"

"Heh!" Chen Danian sneered, "Damn it, this job is too rough!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and stared at Nanny Lu's corpse.

A pair of big hands suddenly stretched out, and touched Mother Lu's body along her neck.

"It's not that I'm taking advantage of you!" While touching, he said plausibly, "Your skin is useless, I'll see if I can find something."

Suddenly, his hand stopped.

Where Nanny Lu was pressed against her chest, Aunt Chen came out holding a key with her bare fingers.

"Okay, let's go on the road with peace of mind!" Chen Danian put the glove in his waist, closed the straw curtain to cover Nanny Lu's face, "In my next life, I will be entrusted to be born in a good family, and stop being a slave!"

~~
"Ma San, hurry up, how long do you have to wait?"

Outside, Zhang Wufu and the eunuchs were getting impatient.

"Okay, okay!" Ma San was sweating, waiting for the fire in the stove to completely ignite.

Then he carried Nanny Lu's body out without even removing the straw curtains, poured oil on it, and pushed it directly into the stove.

Zhang Wufu was also bold, he watched the whole process, and when the corpse entered, he looked in through the gap on the stove.

"How long will it take to practice!"

"Then let's burn it!" Ma San laughed, "You sit and rest, there is a villain"

The next second, there was a sudden scream.

Like a ghost, Zhang Wufu sprinted backwards, his head covered in cold sweat, his body was swaying, and he pointed at the stove, "She, she."

He could barely speak, and kept biting his tongue.It turned out that when he was looking at it just now, Nanny Lu's corpse surrounded by fire suddenly stood up.

Ma San glanced at it, and said with a smile, "It's okay, people, after death, the fire will gather muscles, and it's common to sit up!"
