Chapter 105 Crow language in the mass grave (8000)

"Yangmou?" Yun Zihai frowned upon hearing this, not understanding what Xu Bai was planning.

"Sneakily go, and sneakily come back, when the other party already knows the inside story, you can only see what others let you see." Xu Bai pointed at the corpse on the ground, and said: "If the Ye family really It has something to do with it, when he was caught by you, he was already on guard."

"If we blatantly pass, the other party will be on guard." Yun Zihai thought deeply.

Xu Bai walked up to Yun Zihai, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, with a teasing tone: "Who are you?"

Yun Zihai was stunned, not understanding what it meant to say such words at this time.

But he saw that there was something in Xu's vernacular, and he was hiding a mystery, so he said that he was Yun Zihai.

"Wrong!" Xu Bai raised his index finger and shook his hand: "You are the magistrate of Yunlai Mansion, and now you are the one who has the final say in Yunlai Mansion. You can do whatever you want, even if you run to him I went to the women's family at home overnight, but they didn't dare to say anything, because you are the talker here."

Yun Zihai: "..."

Hearing this, he seemed to understand, and gradually understood what Xu Bai meant.

He is the governor of Yunlai Mansion, and the entire Yunlai Mansion must obey his orders.

He went to investigate the case now, and made it clear that it was for the investigation. If the Ye family dared to stop it, they could be punished according to law.

"Wonderful, brother Xu." Yun Zihai said that Xu Bai's idea is really good.

Xu Bai pressed the frizzy Chu Yu beside him, and said, "Then let's go now."

Opportunity is not to be missed, loss will never come again, hurry up and avoid long nights and dreams.

Since the opponent has already made a move, they not only have to accept the move, but also try their best to return it, giving the opponent a big fight.

The two discussed for a while, then stopped staying and rushed directly to Ye's house.

A new adult came to Yunnan Mansion, and he took over Yunlai Mansion in the form of self-government. Not only was it widely spread among the Jianghu people, but even the common people knew about it.

Since Xu Bai said that he would go there blatantly, and Yun Zihai did not hide his identity, the two of them walked towards Ye's house in such a blatant manner, causing the pedestrians around to turn their heads and look sideways.

Yun Zihai said just now that the Ye family is not far from the government office, and after a few minutes of walking, they have already arrived at the gate of the Ye family.

Xu Bai stood at the door, looked him up and down, and said to himself, as expected of a family who made their fortunes from wars.

Just the two stone lions at the door are masterpieces in terms of craftsmanship, and they must have cost a lot.

At the door, there are two servants standing on duty.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai both followed in a swaggering manner, and there was a shy Chu Yu behind him, which of course was particularly eye-catching.

Originally Yun Zihai wanted to call Liu Er back, but Xu Bai stopped him. After all, it is not good to expose too many people, so let Liu Er hide in the dark.

Seeing Xu Bai and others approaching, the two servants looked at each other. One of the servants came out and cupped his hands at Yun Zihai and said, "I have seen Master Yun, but I don't know why Master Yun came to Ye's house?"

After all, he is the lord of a mansion, the majestic magistrate, and the servants naturally know him.

However, what made Jia Ding particularly puzzled was why the adults from Yunlai Mansion suddenly visited Ye's house, which was a bit strange.

"The official is here to investigate the case. There is no need to notify, just open the door." Yun Zihai put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and looked very authoritative.

Like this kind of big family, if someone visits, it needs to be notified. The servant returns to the mansion to find the person in charge of the family. If he knows him, he will bring him in. If he does not know him, he will not let him into the house.

At this moment, hearing Yun Zihai say that he came to investigate the case, the servant took a step back with a surprised expression on his face, and at the same time turned his head to look at his companion, not knowing what to do.

The Ye family in Yunlai Mansion itself is a very low-key family. Although it is a wealthy family, it is not arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Now some people say that it is the magistrate of Yunlai Mansion who wants to investigate the case, so let them know Overwhelmed.

This is also the first time for them to encounter such a situation, so they can't make up their minds.

"The magistrate or the Ye family?" Xu Bai asked.

Jia Ding nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course it is the magistrate."

This is very obvious. In Yunlai Mansion, who else is bigger than the Fuling? If you really want to say that the Fuling is big, it is estimated that he has lived too long, has no hope for life, and wants to be buried in the ground from now on.

"Then what are you talking about, open the door quickly, and be careful to accuse you of a crime." Xu Bai said.

After such a reminder, the servant shuddered, and knew that he was in a daze just now, and he really didn't understand the relationship between primary and secondary.

Jia Ding did not dare to continue dawdling, turned around and pushed open the door in front of him, bowed his head and bowed his head, expressing that he had no mood to resist.

Another servant did the same thing, without any disobedience.

After the gate is opened, there is a front yard inside, which looks very vast.

It is estimated that this area will cost a lot of money. When I was in Sheng County, Xu Bai's bodyguard agency was not as big as this yard.

The threshold at the gate is also surprisingly high, almost reaching people's knees. If you want to cross it, it will take time and effort.

Although it is just a small threshold, there are many doorways in it.

The high threshold of a house is a building habit that has existed since ancient times. The threshold of many big families is very high, which represents a "high family".

In the Great Chu State, the threshold is very particular.

It represents a symbol of the dignity and identity of the master. When the courtiers enter and leave the king's gate, they need to walk sideways, and they must not step on the threshold.

The height of the threshold among ordinary people can be divided into several types. It can be five inches, whichever is the number of five elements in the five elements; it can be three inches and six minutes, whichever is the same as the number of days in a year; The month of the year is the same number.

Now it seems that the high threshold used by the Ye family is probably to show a distinctive identity.

After crossing the threshold, they entered the front yard, led by the servants, and arrived at the back yard in a short time.

There was no one in the front yard, until after entering the back yard, they finally saw the people from the Ye family.

"There is such a strange looking person in the world." Xu Bai said subconsciously.

There are people coming and going in this backyard, men and women, old and young, but they all have one characteristic in common.

ugly.

Really ugly!

Although it is not so ugly that there is no limit, everyone is ugly with their own characteristics, which is simply unimaginable.

The Ye family used to be a corpse-carrying business, so they needed to be ugly to do it. Xu Bai didn't know how they passed on this good gene, anyway, he had never seen a normal-looking one.

These two servants are considered normal. After all, they are only invited by the Ye family to guard the gate, and they are not members of the Ye family, so their appearance is much more normal.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai walked in, which naturally attracted the attention of the people around them. A woman in her forties walked over.

Just now Xu Bai felt that everyone is ugly and unique, and this woman is the same.

I can't tell where it is ugly, anyway, every place looks very ugly.

"I've seen Lord Yun, and this lord and this girl. I don't know why you came to Ye's house?" The woman bowed slightly, very polite.

Jia Ding hurriedly introduced: "This is the eldest lady, who happens to be in the house, so I came here."

The eldest lady is naturally the wife of the head of the Ye family.

"I have something to do, I'm going to find your Ye Family Patriarch, I have some questions, I want to ask him." Yun Zihai said.

The eldest lady knew Yun Zihai's identity well, and she didn't dare to offend them, so she quickly asked her servant to take them to the living room, and went to find the head of the Ye family by herself.

The servant brought Xu Bai and the others to a luxurious room, served them a pot of good tea, and left.

Chu Yu seemed listless, as if he was not interested in everything around him, but was full of strong interest in the previous prison cell.

After all, she was born in the royal family, and she has never seen such a kind of glory and wealth. All these are too ordinary for Chu Yu, even a little poor.

On the contrary, that kind of novelty made Chu Yu more interested.

A few people didn't drink tea, so they waited patiently. After less than half a stick of incense, there were noisy sounds outside, accompanied by a few screams.

"Something went wrong." Xu Bai and Yun Zihai looked at each other, and went out first to look at the situation outside.

Outside, many members of the Ye family were running in one direction, as if something serious had happened.

"Go and see."

Xu Bai and the others didn't say much, just followed behind and rushed in that direction.

Ye's house is very big, and it took several minutes of walking before arriving at the destination.

It was an extremely luxurious house. Judging from the decoration and appearance, it took a lot of money to build it.

At this moment, there are huge crowds of people, surrounding the house with three floors inside and three floors outside.

From the outside, he couldn't see anything unusual, but he could hear some crying.

"Get out of the way!" Yun Zihai frowned and shouted loudly, causing everyone around to turn their heads.

The people of the Ye family naturally recognized Yun Zihai's identity, and they didn't dare to stand in the way, they all made way for Yun Zihai and the others to walk in.

The door of that luxurious house was open, and the eldest lady was kneeling on the ground, crying continuously, Xu Bai approached, and could hear the sound of crying.

"Why can't you think about it! If you have anything to say, you can talk about it, and we will discuss it together!"

"You are gone, the burden of such a big family falls on me, how can I support it."

"Why did you abandon our entire Ye family, why did you go alone!"

The sound of crying and howling was endless.

Xu Bai walked closer, only then did he see a corpse lying on the ground.

There was a knife stuck in the chest of the corpse. It was obviously a fatal wound, and blood was gushing from the wound.

In the house, there was nothing abnormal, but there was a letter not far from the corpse.

The letter is open, obviously the eldest lady has read it.

Xu Bai bent down and picked up the letter on the ground.

At this time, the eldest lady saw Xu Bai and the others coming, but she didn't say anything, crying there.

Xu Bai opened the wrinkled letter, read it up and down, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

I sent people to attack the government order without authorization. It is the worst evil. I only want to die to keep the Ye family safe.

It's just such a simple sentence, but it clearly describes the cause and effect of the matter without any delay.

"Look." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and handed the letter in Yun Zihai's hand.

Yun Zihai took it over, and when he saw the above content, his expression was exactly the same as Xu Bai's.

The two looked at each other, both from each other's eyes. Seeing the same emotion, Qiqi then shook his head.

Very fake!

Not only is it fake, but it's outrageously fake.

With just such a little content, all the crimes are given to the Patriarch of the Ye family. Everyone knows the tricks in it.

"Fake is one thing, don't you think it's a provocation?" Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai nodded.

This kind of very fake content, as long as a smart person can see it, but the other party still does it, obviously, it is a provocation to them.

The meaning is also very simple, I just want to make such a fake action, just for you to see, you have no clues, and you can't find me, so what?

"It seems that our guess is right, the Ye family is at least related." Yun Zihai said.

As soon as he arrived, he found that the head of the Ye family was dead, so the Ye family must have something to do with it, otherwise it would not be silenced, or the head of the Ye family knew about it.

"It's useless to guess, we need someone who knows." Xu Bai looked at the eldest lady and smiled.

As the saying goes, the person next to the pillow is the one who knows the inside story best, and Mrs. Ye family's crying just now seemed to have some meaning.

The eldest lady was still crying, and the exchange between the two fell into her ears, as if it hadn't affected her in the slightest, and she was crying hard.

Yun Zihai finds it very troublesome, now that he is crying like this, how can he bring the other party back to the government office?

Since you want to ask questions, you can't be in the Ye family. If the other party comes to silence you again, the result will be that all clues will be cut off.

"I'll come." Xu Bai smiled, squatted down in front of Mrs. Ye Jia, and then whispered a few words.

These few words were spoken in such a low voice that only Mrs. Ye Jia could hear them.

After Xu Bai finished these few words, Mrs. Ye's crying stopped immediately, then she looked up at Xu Bai, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stood up with difficulty.

After standing up, he walked to the door in a few steps, announcing that he was going to the government office, and cooperated with Master Yun in the investigation, so that they should not panic, and they should continue to do as before.

The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any delay at all, and it was completed in an instant.

Chu Yu opened her small mouth slightly, and several eggs could be stuffed inside, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

With just a few words, a person who was crying so hard was pulled back in an instant.

She was very curious about what she said.

Eager to try, Chu Yu wanted to get close to Xu Bai, but seeing that Xu Bai was busy with business, she put away her curiosity and hid behind Xu Bai like a cat.

The look of wanting to ask but not daring to ask is like being scratched by a cat.

"Let's go." Xu Bai said: "It's important to go back to the government office first."

With the few words Xu Bai said, everything became very smooth. The lady of the Ye family followed them, left the Ye family directly, and rushed towards the government office.

After getting the order from Mrs. Ye Family, the members of the Ye Family did not dare to say more, and they all followed what Mrs. Ye Family said.

By the time I returned to the government office, it was already afternoon.

The lady of the Ye family has been following behind, saying nothing along the way, but now that there are fewer people, Yun Zihai and Chu Yu are also curious.

"Master, what did you say to her just now?" Chu Yu asked curiously while holding Xu Bai's sleeve, tilting her head.

Although Yun Zihai didn't say anything, the expression in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone. He was also very curious about what Xu Bai said.

"I told her that now that the head of the Ye family is dead, the Ye family's great fortune in Yunlai's mansion cannot be divided among others. As long as Master Yun is here, all this will belong to the eldest lady after all, as long as the eldest lady cooperates." It's gone." Xu Bai glanced at Mrs. Ye's family, and said with a little playfulness.

If there is a big lady, there will naturally be a second lady, a third lady and a fourth lady.

Although the lady of the Ye family was crying just now and looked sad, the content of the crying was really not simple.

In just a few sentences, he took over the burden of the Ye family. As for whether the burden is heavy or fragrant, who can say for sure?

What Xu Bai said was tantamount to telling Mrs. Ye family that as long as she cooperates, she will be able to truly do what she says, and with the support of the government order of Yunlai Mansion, everything will come naturally.

Yun Zihai: "..."

Why do I always feel that I have been a cover for Brother Xu recently.

Suddenly, another matter was arranged for him, and he had to **** the lady of the Ye family.

"Brother Yun, do you think I'm taking advantage of you?" Xu Bai smiled.

Yun Zihai quickly waved his hands and said, "Of course I don't have such an idea."

He really didn't have this idea, he just made complaints about it.

"Actually, I did this for your own good." Xu Bai said inscrutablely: "You just entered Yunlai Mansion, and you don't even have any manpower. What do you need most? People are what you need. The Ye family lives in Yunlai. The government is also a big family, and it is a great thing for you to have them helping you, but all of this is a transaction."

Xu Bai didn't say anything about the latter, but Yun Zihai had already figured it out clearly.

At this time, I helped Mrs. Ye family, and after Mrs. Ye family takes power, I will help him in turn. All this is a fair and reasonable transaction.

Thinking of this, Yun Zihai grabbed Xu Bai's hand quite moved, and said, "Brother Xu, I never thought you would think of me so much. Yun feels ashamed. It is a blessing to meet Brother Xu in this life." .

Moving is really moving, there is no falsification, it is all sincere.

Xu Bai: "..."

In fact, he still didn't say a word, which was to help Yun Zihai recruit the Ye family, which was just incidental.

But looking at Yun Zihai's inexplicably moved expression, Xu Bai felt that it was better not to say this sentence, after all, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

Chu Yu was beside her, took out the small notebook she always carried, and began to memorize it again, chanting while memorizing it.

"Scheming, cunning and cunning..."

Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed Chu Yu's ear with his backhand, and dragged her closer.

"Aches, aches, aches..." Chu Yu yelled five words of pain in a second.

"Change it, be far-sighted, and be unparalleled in wisdom."

Chu Yu's eyes were wide open, with a pitiful face. Under Xu Bai's coercion and temptation, he finally crossed out those two words, and replaced them with new words according to Xu Bai's instructions.

While correcting, I was also wronged.

"I'm so angry, what I wrote is the truth."

This journey is very safe, without any abnormalities.

When they returned to the government office, Xu Bai and Yun Zihai brought Mrs. Ye family into a room.

Mrs. Ye Jia was very honest throughout the whole process, without the slightest resistance. After all, what Xu Bai told her before made her think differently.

"Tell me all the secrets you know, don't hide them, I will see it." Yun Zihai sat on the chair, looked directly at Mrs. Ye Jia, and said seriously.

"I know that during the recent period, the master has been very abnormal. From time to time, he would lock himself in the house alone, and refused to see anyone." Mrs. Ye Jia tidied up her emotions and said everything she knew. out.

According to what Mrs. Ye said, since some time ago, the head of the Ye family has become extremely abnormal and no longer appears in front of everyone. Except for meals, most of the time he stays alone in the room and sees no one.

And with the passage of time, everyone found that the Patriarch of the Ye family became extremely haggard, as if he hadn't slept for several months, and he was exhausted visible to the naked eye.

As the head of the Ye family who can fight ten, this is the first time he has such an image. Although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to ask.

The lady of the Ye family didn't dare to ask, but kept this doubt in her heart.

Until not long ago, the Patriarch of the Ye family found her suddenly, and then gave her a kit, telling her not to open it, and keeping it with her all the time unless there was a major accident.

There is a special seal on the kit, once it is opened, it will be seen by others.

Although Mrs. Ye Jia was curious, she thought that she had to establish an image in front of her Patriarch, so she never opened it.

She didn't think of this incident until something happened today, and she felt more and more ridiculous in her heart.

While talking, Mrs. Ye Jia took out the kit and put it on the table, making a very honest look.

Xu Bai picked up the kit, looked at the special seal on it, and opened it easily with a little force with his fingers.

After he saw the contents clearly, he frowned slightly, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and took out a fist-sized ball of paper from the kit.

Through the back of the ball of paper, you can still see the pen and ink with words coming out. Obviously, the ball of paper is full of things.

Xu Bai opened the paper, and there were densely packed small characters inside. After reading the content on it, he handed the paper to Yun Zihai.

"Look, this matter is quite complicated."

Yun Zihai finished reading it and was about to put it away when he saw Chu Yu looking at him curiously.

In desperation, Yun Zihai could only hand the letter to Chu Yu again.

Chu Yu watched, the more she looked down, the wider her eyes opened, and those black and white eyeballs were full of shock.

The letter said that not long ago, a man in white came to find the Patriarch of the Ye Family.

The man was dressed in white, with a white cloth covering his eyes, as if he couldn't see.

The man told him that he needed to do one thing, and it was very simple.

As long as a lot of mirrors are placed on the way when the new magistrate arrives, he will be safe and sound.

Otherwise, the Ye family will be slaughtered.

The head of the Ye family believed it, because the man in white showed extraordinary strength, and that kind of strength made the head of the Ye family feel trembling.

He did so, but the more he did this, the more uneasy he felt.

Among them, the man in white came to Ye's house twice. After communicating, the head of the Ye family discovered the clue.

He discovered the identity of the man in white.

While the two were communicating, the man in white accidentally exposed the skin of his cuffs, which had a special tattoo on it.

The corpse-bearer's tattoo!

Body-bearers are not only in the Ye family, but also in many places, and this is a tattoo unique to corpse-bearers.

Each line of business has its unique and weird places, and corpse-carrying people are of course the same.

The reason why this tattoo exists is that this business is very unique, and a unique tattoo can play the role of auspicious and avoid evil.

The tattoo is a ghost head with wide eyes.

Ghosts have evil spirits, use evil spirits to suppress evil spirits!

But it was this tattoo that made the Patriarch of the Ye family feel even more confused. After all, their profession requires ugly people to do it.

Although the man in white was blindfolded, judging from his exposed face, he looked like a suave young man.

How can a good-looking person become a corpse bearer?

When the Patriarch of the Ye family was confused, he went to look up the classics about their business, not to mention, he really found it.

In their profession, there have really been such unique people.

That is an extremely secretive branch, even if it is a corpse-bearer, few people can know it.

If the Patriarch of the Ye family hadn't had this book in his hand, he wouldn't be so clear.

This business is called Corpse Eater.

Why is it called a corpse?

All of this is of course related to the characteristics of the corpse bearer.

They are doing the unlucky way of transporting corpses from all over the world, but the most likely thing to cause among them is the mutation of corpses. After they become weird, they will produce terror.

Some corpse-carrying people will lose their way on the road under the influence of the evil spirit of the corpse.

If you are lucky, you can get out in three to five days. If you are unlucky, you may be trapped for ten or twenty days, or even trapped inside forever. Only when you die can everything disappear.

Over time, the food and water sources on the body will gradually become scarce.

When a person has no food and water, he will have a severe sense of hunger, and a hungry person will never be able to resist the temptation of food.

So, they set their minds on the so-called corpse.

Nothing can set a precedent, and the same goes for their line of business. Since that precedent was set, they have discovered the benefits of it.

The corpse eater, after eating the corpse, was able to extract the evil spirit from it for his own use and strengthen himself.

And you can use this as an aid to practice another profession, resulting in a terrifying speed of practice.

But there is also a limit, the higher the level, the stronger the corpse needed.

Cannibalism is known to everyone.

And at that time, the corpse bearers also discovered their unique branch, and a big battle broke out immediately.

What the corpse eaters did can be said to have betrayed the concept of this business.

The corpses were originally the clients of the corpse bearers, but they ate their own clients. In this case, they were cast aside by the entire industry.

What's more, join forces with grave robbers to do some dirty things.

That battle lasted for a long time.

Corpse eaters themselves have just emerged, so naturally they couldn't withstand the impact of an old profession, and soon disappeared, and they have basically never been seen since then.

As for why he looks so handsome, it is the effect after cannibalism, not this branch, and the head of the Ye family can't explain it clearly.

And in this letter, until the end, I finally talked about a particularly important clue.

Mass graves.

If the man in white had any hiding place, it would only be in the mass graves, and the chances of other places are very small.

Corpse Cannibals have this feature, but also constraints.

What they do is absorb evil.

If you don't eat it for a long time, you will be disturbed by this evil spirit, and then you will die soon.

So the mass grave is the most suitable place.

The content of the letter ends here.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Looks like I have to go and have a look."

"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, let's go tonight." Yun Zihai nodded.

Now that you have discovered it, hurry up and rush over to see the situation.

"What about this person?" Chu Yu looked at Mrs. Ye family and asked.

"Let her go home directly, let's go and finish the important things first." Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai nodded again and again in agreement.

Then they let Mrs. Ye go home, and then they rushed towards the mass grave in Yunlai Mansion without stopping.

The mass grave in Yunlai Mansion is located in the western outskirts.

Mass burials are places where many dead people have no graves, so they find a place to bury them casually, and the tomb holes are dug in different directions, so this kind of place is called "mass burials".

Of course, the government also put the unnamed corpses of the homicide cases there, and over time, more and more graves were buried here.

Don't say it's a living person, usually even an animal will not pass by here, it looks gloomy.

Especially at night, people who pass by this place even have to go around a long way to avoid getting their brows stained, which is bad luck.

At this moment, due to a series of incidents, the night was already deep. When Xu Bai and the others arrived, the moon was already hanging high in the sky, shining with pure white silver light.

The moonlight is bright and clear, but when scattered on this mass grave, it looks extremely gloomy.

"quack...quack..."

A strange bird call came, and in the woods, on a dead tree, a black crow was standing on the branch, looking at Xu Bai's person curiously.

The most frightening thing at night is the crow's cry, which is ugly and weird.

From the outside, the Mass Burial Mound was still the same as it was before, without any abnormalities. After Xu Bai and the others came close, they stopped.

Xu Bai squinted his eyes, looked at the crow on the tree, and said, "Brother Yun, it seems that we were discovered by someone just after arriving here."

Yun Zihai followed Xu Bai's gaze, and finally stopped on the crow.

On the tree, the crow tilted its head and spoke human language...
