Chapter 755 Yongyang Coffin Shop

"You don't have to worry about this. Li Heng has been the prince for more than ten years. No one knows him better than me. He is cowardly and incompetent. The reason why he took this case is to take this opportunity to attract the emperor's attention. What's more, Yushitai is also involved this time, as long as the sect makes a little trick, he can be played in the palm of his hand." Yang Guozhong said confidently.

"The suzerain has strategized and won thousands of miles, and the subordinates admire it very much. If this is the case, then the subordinates will leave first!" The masked man bowed.

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard, waved his hand and said, "You go now! Remember, no matter what, we must find out the whereabouts of the two men!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" The masked man said respectfully.

After the masked man left, Yang Guozhong stroked the skeleton on the seat with his hand, and grinned grinningly: "Li Canghai, I want to see if you can escape from this chain scheme?"

But Li Canghai and Di Ying went to Yongyang Fang in the dark.

The two first found the head of the workshop and asked how many coffin shops there were in Yongyang Square. After learning that there was only one family with the surname Guan in the coffin business for more than ten years, they hurried to the coffin shop located on the east side of Yongyang Square. coffin shop.

At this time, it was Haishi, and the shops on both sides of the street were closed.

There were a few coffins outside the coffin shop, and the surrounding area was deserted. Standing around the coffins, one would feel the wind blowing, which made people feel shuddering.

"Second brother, it should be this one." Li Canghai looked around at the coffins and said in a low voice.

Di Ying nodded, then walked over directly, stretched out her fingers and knocked on the door a few times.

dong dong dong~
Soon a voice came from the room: "Who is it?"

Hearing the voice, it seemed to be a young man. After the two looked at each other, Di Ying said: "Shopkeeper, I want to order a coffin. I wonder if this business can still be done?"

Hearing that someone wanted to buy a coffin, the shopkeeper hurriedly said happily: "It's done, it's done! Wait a moment, waiter, wait for me to put on my clothes, and open the door for the visitor!"

After a while, the door opened, and a man in his twenties came out.

Seeing that Di Ying was wearing silk and had an extraordinary bearing, he didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly led the two into the room.

After entering the room, the man was busy pouring tea for the two of them.

Di Ying sat down, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and said, "The shopkeeper, I don't know how to call it? How old is Guigeng?"

"I'm twenty-three this year, and the guest officer calls me Guan Yuan." The man said politely.

Di Ying nodded and said, "I didn't expect the shopkeeper to open a coffin shop at such a young age. It's really surprising."

Guan Yuan smiled and said: "The guest officer is joking, but this shop is actually left by my father. Otherwise, how can I support this shop?"

After a pause, Guan Yuan looked at the two of them and said: "The two of you just said that you want to buy a coffin. Who in the family has passed away?"

Di Ying did not speak, but took out an official post from her bosom and handed it over.

Guan Yuan took it in his hand with a puzzled expression, and opened it to look at it.

Seeing this, he was startled immediately, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Di Ying, raised the official post above his head, and said respectfully: "The grass people don't know that your lord is coming, so please forgive me if you are rude!"

Di Ying withdrew the official post and said calmly, "You don't have to be polite, shopkeeper, get up and talk."

"Thank you, sir." Guan Yuan thanked again and again, stood up, and stood aside.

"Treasurer, to be honest, this official is not here to buy a coffin. I have something to ask you." Di Huai said.

"Excuse me, my lord. The grassroots must know everything and say everything." Guan Yuan lowered his head and said.

Di Huai looked at Li Canghai, saw Li Canghai nodded slightly, and said, "Let me ask you, how long has your Guan family been running this shop?"

"My lord, the shop has been in business for more than [-] years since Cao Min's father." Guan Yuan replied.

"Where is your father now?" Di Huai asked.

Guan Yuan sighed and said, "My father has passed away for more than two years."

Di Huai was startled slightly, and looked at Li Canghai.

Li Canghai has been standing behind Di Huai, playing the role of a servant very well.

At this moment, upon hearing what Guan Yuan said, his brows immediately frowned.

Di Jinghui's coffin was bought ten years ago, when Guan Yuan was only 13 years old, so there is no way that Guan Yuan bought that coffin.

In other words, the person who sold the coffin was Guan Yuan's father.

But what they didn't expect was that Guan Yuan's father had passed away many years ago.

Originally, they thought that they could find some clues from the origin of the coffin, but now it seems that it was nothing.

Seeing that Di Ying's expression was a little strange, Guan Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously: "My lord, I don't know why you are here?"

Di Ying thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so she said, "That's right. I am from Luoyang. Ten years ago, my third uncle came to Chang'an, but he disappeared without a trace. I just found out not long ago. The third uncle died in Chang'an ten years ago. I searched for a long time before I found the third uncle's grave. I wanted to move the third uncle back to the ancestral grave for burial, so that the fallen leaves of the third uncle could return to their roots. But when the coffin was opened, I found the words 'Yongyang Coffin' engraved on the inner wall of the coffin lid, so I wanted to come over and ask the shopkeeper if he had seen my third uncle."

Li Canghai also sighed and said, "My third grandfather had no children, and he died in Chang'an inexplicably. My master wanted to find out the cause of the third grandfather's death, but the third grandfather passed away for a long time, so the only way for me to come Guipu, I hope to get some clues from the old shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper also drove west!"

"Wait a minute, what did you say, my lord? Did you see our store number on the inner wall of the coffin?" Guan Yuan asked in surprise.

Li Canghai wiped away his tears, choked up and said, "Yes! This is also the only clue, that's why my master found this place."

"Dare to ask my lord, besides the store number, is there anything else engraved on the inner wall of the coffin?" Guan Yuan asked solemnly.

"Because the coffin has been buried in the ground for ten years, the lid of the coffin has long since rotted, and the only one who can recognize it clearly is the word 'Yongyang Coffin'. Why does the shopkeeper ask such a question?" Seeing Guan Yuan's abnormal expression, Li Canghai was moved in his heart. asked hurriedly.

Guan Yuan bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "To tell you the truth, before my father died, he told me something that someone bought a coffin from him ten years ago and left something for my father to keep. My father is a man who kept his promise. People, kept that thing for ten years, but never waited for someone to pick it up. Before my father died, he gave that thing to me, and asked me to keep my promise and keep it. I didn’t expect that today is finally here!”

Li Canghai and Di Ying looked at each other, they became excited at the same time, they didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains.

"Shopkeeper, can you explain this matter in detail?" Di Ying said excitedly.
