Nightmare Attack

The figure was motionless, as if he couldn't feel anyone approaching. As everyone got closer, they suddenly discovered that this person was wearing the same clothes that Quanfu had worn last night!

What's even more frightening is that there is an old copper basin placed in front of Quanfu. At this moment, Quanfu leans forward and dips his head into the basin in a prostration posture. The basin is full of water.

Judging from the rigor mortis posture, it was obvious that he had been dead for some time.

As the light of the mobile phone gradually extended, in front of Quanfu were rows of densely packed tablets of different sizes. Several rows of wooden shelves were installed on the wall in the corner, and the tablets were placed on the shelves.

Looking at these gloomy tablets, combined with Quan Fu's posture, the fat man couldn't help but have an idea in his heart. It seemed that Quan Fu came to many tablets to apologize because he had done something wrong.

Drowning himself alive in a copper basin the size of a washbasin is a horrifying way of committing suicide.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward, and after a brief observation, he lifted Quanfu's head out of the basin by his back collar. Surprisingly, Quanfu's expression before his death was not only devoid of any fear, but on the contrary, he was very peaceful. It seems that death is not a pain for him, but a kind of relief.

Looking at the memorial tablet on the wall, and then at Quan Fu's death state, the uneasiness in Fatty's heart became more and more amplified, "He was fine when he left last night. How could he not think about committing suicide overnight?"

"Of course it's not suicide. Look at the water on the ground. Jiang Cheng crouched down and looked at the large puddle of water under the body. "With so much water, this copper basin is far from being able to hold it. Last night he came from the Ghost Road. He carried a ghost away, and it was the ghost that killed him. "

This was an obvious question, and everyone then focused their attention on the tablets in the corner. The number of these tablets far exceeded the number of corpses in the Yi Zhuang, and there were hundreds of them.

What's even weirder is that these tablets are all empty, with no surnames, and there are no incense, candles, offerings or the like around them. They look very shabby.

"This is not a mourning hall for these corpses. These tablets have been placed here for many years, and these corpses have all died recently." Li Bai approached the tablets and lowered his voice involuntarily, "These tablets are prepared for those in the backyard. , General Guo, and Zhennanhou’s wife.”

Because it is related to the old affairs of the previous dynasty, it makes sense that I dare not engrave my name on it.

Tang Qisheng suddenly stretched out his hand to grab a pair of tablets on the edge. The next second, he was stopped by Yao and Shunyu. Yao and Shunyu grabbed Tang Qisheng's wrist and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The placement of these tablets here was obviously abnormal. If they were moved rashly, they might cause big trouble. However, Tang Qisheng shook off Yao, Shunyu's hand and said, "Don't interfere if you don't understand. There are differences between these tablets. The one on the left These are made of dark wood and are quite old. The material used for the tablets in the remote location on the right is just ordinary wood, and they are relatively new. They have not been put up for more than a year.

Soon, everyone realized that Tang Qisheng was right. Jiang Cheng took out a tablet from each hand. They looked very similar, but the texture was obviously different. The tablet on the left hand was heavier and textured, and felt cold in the hand, while the tablet on the right hand was lighter. light.

"What's this?"

With the help of the light, a handwriting was revealed behind the tablet. It was the relatively new tablet, "Wu Yuhuan, Wujiaxiang, West of the City." The fat man looked at the words and read them out.

It sounded like a woman's name. Jiang Cheng took a few more tablets with different textures. Most of the tablets had words after them. After comparison, he made a preliminary judgment, "The tablets on the left are made of dark wood. These are the innocent souls in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and these new tablets seem to be servants or maids who died in the Hou Mansion in the recent period. If we come later, Quanfu's tablets will also appear here. ”

Staring at the tablets of different sizes, the fat man nodded with sudden realization, "No wonder these tablets have different specifications. I'm afraid they are also sorted according to their rank in life, just like the tombstones we saw in the backyard. "

Among these tablets, the largest and most powerful one is naturally that of General Guo, and the position of this tablet is also the highest. After taking down the tablet, the words behind it also confirmed their guess: Guo Shaotang, the mighty general of the army.

Then Jiang Cheng took down another tablet next to General Guo's tablet. According to assumptions, this tablet second only to General Guo should be the wife Zhennanhou said.

But as the tablet turned over, a surprising scene happened. The back of the tablet was actually empty, with no words on it.

"Strange, these tablets have the names of the deceased behind them, even the maidservants and servants. Why doesn't the wife of Dudu Zhen Nanhou have a name?" Zhu Jie asked with a frown.

Jiang Cheng put down the memorial tablet and recalled the scene in the backyard of the Yin Mansion. On the tombstones made of lightning-struck wood, the tomb of Zhennan Hou’s wife only had the words “Tomb of the Dead Wife” written on it, and no name was mentioned either. Even the last name was written on it. It doesn’t make sense that General Guo, who was taboo, had his name left on him, but why his beloved late wife refused to leave her name on her tomb.

"Is this name a taboo?" Zhang Qizheng is old and has extensive experience. In ancient times, there were some words that conflicted with emperors, and their use would be taboo.

But Li Bai interrupted him with one sentence, "No, what name is more taboo than General Guo's?"

Although the reason was not discussed, everyone became more curious about the Marquis's wife. This person once had a master as a disciple, and he could find the right time to annihilate General Guo and other disciples. Although he died on the spot in the end, But being able to do this is no ordinary person.

Of course, the premise is that Zhennanhou did not lie.

Just when Jiang Cheng was about to put these tablets back, Tang Qisheng seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly said "huh?" and then took the tablets in Jiang Cheng's hand. One was the tablet of Mrs. Zhennan Hou, and the other was the tablet named Wu. After comparing the two women for a long time, Tang Qichang took a long breath and said, "This Wu Yuhuan is not a maid in the mansion. She is also the wife of Zhennan Hou, but she is not the main wife, but a concubine."

The fat man blinked and looked at the two tablets. He couldn't see any difference from the other tablets. "How do you know? Even my concubine can see it?"

Tang Qisheng calmly held the two tablets and handed them to the fat man, "Feel for yourself. Is there a piece missing from the lower right corner of the tablet? Is there a piece missing from both tablets?"

Jiang Cheng moved faster than the fat man. After touching it carefully with his hand, he noticed a difference. It was a dent in the thickness of the tablet.
