The next day, Hwarang was woken up by the sound of suona.

After he woke up, he washed his face and ran out in a hurry. At Bai Qiye's house, those suona artists were walking along the coffin beside the mourning hall and playing suona. Then he knelt beside the coffin and wept bitterly.

Hualang knew that they were going to bury Bai Qiye's body so that it could be buried safely.

Hua Lang raised his eyes to look at the sky, it was only Chen Shi, he wondered if Bao Zheng and the others could catch up.

Those who played the suona blew once next to the coffin, then lined up in two rows, and then walked towards the door while blowing, while the villagers who had been standing aside tied the coffin and carried it on their shoulders. It looks like the coffin is going to be buried in the ground.

Seeing this, Hua Lang became anxious, if Bao Zheng and the others couldn't come, how could he stop them?

Without time to think, Hwarang had no choice but to follow these people temporarily, while Liu Wenmeng and the others waited here for Bao Zheng and Yin Wucuo. If Bao Zheng and the others couldn't make it in time, Hwarang would have to delay for some time even if he was cheating.

The grave had already been dug, and it wasn't very far from Bai Qiye's home. Hua Lang followed behind the crowd and wanted to rush up to stop them, but he knew very well that when it was not a last resort, he would It's best not to do this, the villagers here are most taboo about such things, and they don't know much about the emperor's token, so they probably can't understand Hwarang's intentions. At that time, the anger of these people will be aroused, then But it would be bad.

After about half a stick of incense, the villagers carried the coffin to the cemetery. The cemetery was divided into pieces, and in the center of the cemetery, there was a well-dug hole. The villagers put down the coffin and prepared for the suona player to play For the last time, the coffin was about to be buried in the ground. Hwarang stamped his feet anxiously, wondering what excuses he would use to stop them later.

And just when Hua Lang was in a hurry, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. Hua Lang looked for the reputation, and saw Bao Zheng and Yin Wucuo riding fast horses towards here, seeing Bao Zheng and the others When it came, Hwarang felt relieved, otherwise he would have found a way to prevent the coffin from being buried.

If the coffin is buried and sealed with soil, it may be even more difficult to open the coffin for an autopsy.

Bao Zheng and others arrived in time, and their arrival surprised the villagers here, who stood there speechless for a while, but Bao Zheng didn't care whether they could speak or not, he and the crowd After turning over and dismounting, he immediately ordered someone to open the coffin for an autopsy.

At this moment, Mrs. Bai and Bai Yu hurried over to ask what was going on. Bao Zheng looked at him coldly and said, "My lord suspects that Bai Qiye was murdered, so I need to examine the body."

Upon hearing Bao Zheng's words, Madam Bai's complexion suddenly changed, she couldn't help but strengthen her tone, and asked, "How is this possible, where did your lord hear it?"

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and was about to answer when Hua Lang stepped forward and said, "It's me, ma'am!"

"Playboy?" Madam Bai was startled, but soon, she understood what was going on.

At this time, the yamen servants and Wu Zuo brought by Bao Zheng had already carried out the body. Bai Yu saw that the yamen servants had really carried the body out, so he burst into tears and threw himself on him, as if to stop him from performing an autopsy.

But as soon as he pounced on him, the two yamen servants pulled him away, and the clerk took this opportunity to conduct an autopsy, and after a while, he got up and came to Bao Zheng, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Bao, it has been verified that the deceased was killed by someone. He was strangled to death, and after being strangled, he was hit on the head again, which can be proved by the lack of bleeding on the head."

Everything was as Hua Lang guessed, Bao Zheng nodded slightly, then looked at Mrs. Bai and snorted coldly, and said, "It's extremely suspicious that you obstructed my lord's investigation of the murder case, come here, and temporarily guard them, and then my lord will interrogate them."

After the yamen servant took the order, he looked at Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai, and at this moment, Bao Zheng asked, "Who was the first to discover the corpse?"

After Bao Zheng asked, a middle-aged man in his 40s came over. This man was short and hunchbacked, giving people a very old feeling. Now that this man stepped forward, he must have noticed Bai Qi Is it Bai Yi of the dead body?

Bai Yi stepped forward and kowtowed to Bao Zheng, and then told the story of how he found the corpse. Hua Lang had already learned about the story from the guards last night, and there was not much discrepancy in it. At that time, he was more eager and caring, and made people feel that he was an obedient dog beside Bai Qiye.

After listening to Bai Yi's words, Bao Zheng asked someone to bring Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai, and after they arrived, Bao Zheng asked: "When Bai Qiye's body was found, you didn't do anything. Doubt? How could your father commit suicide by jumping into a well at such a young age?"

Bai Yu was crying at this time. Although Mrs. Bai looked calm, she did not dare to answer easily. After such a silence for a while, Mrs. Bai said: "We are all villagers in the mountains, where we think so much, and we are not I know how to conduct an autopsy, we found my father's body in the well, so we naturally decided that he committed suicide or made a mistake, so it's possible that adults suspect that we will kill our father?"

Bao Zheng snorted coldly, and said: "It may be said, my lord has handled countless cases, and it is not uncommon to see someone who killed his own father and his own son. Let me ask you, have you always had a good relationship with Bai Qiye?"

Mrs. Bai looked sad, and nodded again and again: "Of course it's good. Everyone in the village can testify to us that our husband and wife are extremely filial to our father, and my father-in-law is also extremely fond of me and my husband. Anyone in the village can testify for us." Mrs. Bai said twice that people in the village could testify for them, which made the villagers feel a little panicked, and they didn't want anything to do with this murder case.

After listening to Mrs. Bai's words, Hua Lang suddenly asked: "But I heard that because you and Bai Yu are not born with sons, Bai Qiye is going to remarry and marry Niu Niu, the daughter of the second son of the head of the village. If Bai Qiye goes to Niu Niu, or gives birth to a boy and a half girl, will half of his family property be given to Niu Niu?"

Hua Lang's words couldn't be more clear. If this is the case, Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai will have to kill Bai Qiye to prevent him from continuing. In this way, all the Bai family's money will be theirs.

But when Hua Lang said this, Mrs. Bai quickly retorted: "Nonsense, my father-in-law and I are both very supportive of my father-in-law's remarriage. We even went to Niu Laoer's house to give the betrothal gift!"
