Chapter 499 Xie Ying's Taking Advantage of Someone's Misfortune
The old man of the Cao family found a pair of young boys and girls to be buried with him. Ever since Xie Ying heard about this, she suspected that the boy and girl died in mysterious circumstances.
So he secretly let Xiao Miao sneak into the grave and check the bodies of the two people.
Originally, she wanted Xiangxiang to go, but Xiangxiang thought the corpse was too smelly and refused to go, so she threw the task to Xiaomiao.
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Miao went in, he found nine corpses inside.
One of them was obviously the dead old man of the Cao family, and the remaining eight corpses were not very old, and were obviously burial objects of the dead old man.
The key point is that toxin residues were found on all nine corpses.
After Luo Zheng's men conducted a secret investigation, they discovered that something was amiss.
The eight corpses buried with the deceased were all boys and girls. Except for Gao Jinlan's daughter, the identities of the remaining corpses were unknown.
Luo Zheng and Xie Xiu both cared deeply about this matter, but digging up human graves was a serious crime, and unless there was solid evidence, it would easily lead to criticism.
In addition, the Cao family had a Minister of Personnel and the famous teacher Cao Xuehai.
Xie Xiu and Luo Zheng were both reluctant to act rashly, so they could only have someone conduct a secret investigation first, hoping to find more evidence before taking action.
But without a body, the investigation is really difficult.
Xie Ying originally didn't intend to take action at this time, but who knew that Cao Wanning would destroy the good reputation Cao Xuehai had accumulated over the years with just one move, making the Cao family infamous.
Now the Cao family has become the target of public criticism, and it is a good time to kick them when they are down.
So Xie Ying directly asked Xiao Miao to bring a small piece of bamboo whip into the tomb of the dead old man of the Cao family and then induce labor.
The so-called bamboo whip is the underground stem of bamboo.
This thing will grow horizontally underground, one section at a time. Buds will grow on the sides of the sections, which will then develop into bamboo shoots or new bamboo shoots.
After Xie Ying asked Xiao Miao to bring a small section of bamboo whip into the grave, it first gave birth to new bamboo whips, forming a big "injustice" character, and then gave birth to bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots quickly pushed open the grave, like sharp swords, not only piercing the entire grave, but also forming a huge "injustice" character.
These bamboo shoots emerged from the grave nearly twenty centimeters high. They could no longer be called bamboo shoots, but rather strands of bamboo.
In order to prevent the Cao family from secretly destroying the tomb, Xie Ying specially left a small seedling to monitor the Cao family's tomb.
After dawn, the gravekeeper had breakfast and, as usual, strolled around the entire cemetery. He felt something was wrong from afar.
Why does the fifth old master’s grave look a little weird today?
The gravekeeper looked at it carefully several times, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, so he hurried over.
The closer he got, the clearer he could see.
Soon, he saw bamboo shoots emerging from the grave.
The gravekeeper suspected that he was seeing things!
He rubbed his eyes hard and found that the bamboo shoots were still there. He was so scared that his face turned pale!
You know, as a gravekeeper, he not only has to guard the Cao family's tomb to prevent tomb robbery and destruction at night, but also has to patrol frequently during the day and clear weeds.
If you find anything wrong, report it immediately.
The gravekeeper stared at the bamboo shoots intently, his face turning paler the more he looked. After a moment of stiffness, he turned around and ran away in fear, still screaming: "Ah ...
He ran all the way, pissing his pants and screaming all the time.
I was still shaking all over when I ran to the house at the foot of the mountain.
The other gravekeepers were shocked when they saw his condition.
Someone asked fearfully, "Old Third, are you...are you okay?"
The third brother trembled violently, raised his head and looked at the others in horror: "Ghost... There is a ghost..."
The others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Someone bravely shouted, "What ghost? It's broad daylight, where did the ghost come from? Don't talk nonsense!"
The third brother trembled and said, "There really is a ghost! I saw it! Fifth Old Master...something happened at Fifth Old Master's grave!"
The others' faces changed drastically when they heard this.
"What happened?"
"Is there someone robbing the tomb?"
"Let's go and take a look! We're all here, nothing can happen!"
Everyone knew that if anything happened to the Fifth Old Master's tomb, they, the gravekeepers, would definitely be punished.
Several people rushed out quickly, and some wanted to call the third brother to go with them, but the third brother was so scared that he was trembling and refused to go no matter what.
Although others thought he was a coward, they couldn't help but feel insecure.
They talked as they walked.
"Old Third isn't usually this timid, right? Why are you so scared today?"
"Is he really seeing a ghost?"
"No... No way... We've been guarding here for so long, and we haven't... never seen it before..."
"That's because you haven't seen it. I saw it last time..."
Someone started bragging about his last experience of "seeing a ghost", which made others more uneasy.
Soon, they saw the grave of the fifth old master of the Cao family from afar.
Someone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Old Third, did you see it wrong? Where is the ghost?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded: "Shut up! Don't you see where we are? Don't talk nonsense! Look, there's something wrong with the Fifth Old Master's grave! Let's go and take a look!"
The man said this as he strode forward.
Others quickly followed.
Because they were far away, they couldn't see clearly, but they vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It was not until they got closer that they noticed bamboo shoots sprouting from the fifth old man's grave.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"How could this be?"
“Where do these bamboo shoots come from?”
"There's no bamboo growing around here, right?"
"I clearly cleaned it carefully back then, so how come bamboo shoots are growing here? Could it be that bamboo was mixed in with the burial?"
"The third brother is too timid. It's just bamboo shoots, what's the big deal..."
The man was about to say "What ghost is there?", but suddenly remembered the scolding he had just received and quickly shut his mouth.
But the man in the lead had a very ugly expression on his face, staring at the bamboo shoots.
He couldn't help but persuade her, "Don't look at it anymore. Report it quickly. These bamboo shoots came out of the grave. It's none of our business. We're only responsible for guarding the grave..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the leading man: "What do you know? That's the word 'injustice'!"
"what?"
The others exclaimed in surprise.
Looking at those bamboo shoots at this time, I felt cold all over.
They didn't think so before, but now looking at them again, they felt that the bamboo shoots were like sharp swords.
This scene is really creepy. How could such a thing appear on the grave of the Fifth Old Master?
Is it because...
Several people thought of the boys and girls who were buried with the deceased, and felt a chilling chill.
This is the work of an evil spirit, run!
The same thought occurred to several people, and they immediately turned around and ran.
The man in the lead was smart. After running down the mountain, he went straight to Cao's house.
