"Ling'er, you can't go down this slope! This is where your brother Cheng slipped and fell and broke his leg!" Ji Cangyu burst into tears as he spoke.
"What did you say?" Ling'er asked, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Your brother Cheng was playing here back then and fell down from here for some reason! The way he fell was exactly the same as the assassin who just fell down!" Ji Cangyu said sadly. The exact same situation just now reminded him of the scene twenty years ago that he regretted throughout his life.
"You mean Brother Cheng broke his leg?" Ling'er asked again.
Ji Cangyu nodded. He originally didn't want to tell Ling'er about this, but now he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"You mean Brother Cheng just broke his leg and he's still alive!" Ling'er asked expectantly.
Ji Cangyu had recovered from his extreme grief. He explained to Ling'er: "At that time, there was a big stone in the middle of the steep slope. When your brother Cheng rolled down, he happened to be stopped by the stone. Although he saved Life, but the kneecaps of both his legs were... shattered due to the violent impact."
Ling'er looked down in horror. If Brother Yang also hit that stone, he would definitely be injured!
"Don't look at it, that stone is gone a long time ago." Ji Cangyu said lightly.
"It's gone? How could it be gone?" Ling'er asked anxiously. Even if you hit a big rock and get injured, it's better than losing your life!
"That stone once hurt Cheng'er, and I got angry and had it removed. So...so..." Ji Cangyu couldn't bear to say any more.
"So he is dead." Xu Jun came over and said cruelly.
The six words Xu Jun said echoed repeatedly in Ling'er's mind, like a sledgehammer hitting her chest repeatedly. Ling'er couldn't bear such despair and grief, and slowly collapsed to the ground.
Ji Cangyu sighed and said, "Don't worry! I'll have someone come down from the mountain to bury his body at dawn..."
Before Ji Cangyu finished speaking, Ling'er burst into tears.
Hearing the cry, everyone present, except Xu Jun, lowered their heads, and Ji Cangyu's mood became increasingly heavy.
Xu Jun comforted him kindly: "You don't have to be so sad. He was originally poisoned and will not live long."
Ling'er also stopped crying after hearing this and looked at Xu Jun in shock. Did he know that Brother Yang had been hit by the "Hundred Days Powder"?
Xu Jun added: "Why are you so surprised? No wonder you didn't notice that the sword was quenched with poison?"
It turns out that the poison Xu Jun was referring to was not "Hundred Day Powder". But Ling'er really didn't find out what kind of poison Brother Yang had been poisoned by.
"Don't mention the past anymore!" Ji Cangyu said to Xu Jun.
Xu Jun also walked aside feeling bored.
"Go back!" Ji Cangyu advised Ling'er.
Ling'er was indifferent. Fortunately, she didn't cry loudly anymore. She just sat on the ground and stared at the slope in a daze.
Ji Cangyu had no choice but to wave Xu Jun and the nursing staff to go back first.
Ji Cangyu looked at the steep slope and decided to modify this dangerous place to prevent anyone from slipping and falling again.
"Eh? How can there be fire there?" A nurse was about to go back, but when he turned around, he noticed something unusual in the distance.
"Isn't that Mrs. Ji's tomb? Is there anyone there at this late hour?" Another nurse asked in confusion.
Ji Cangyu was shocked and hurriedly looked north. There was indeed a faint fire flickering at the tomb!
"What's going on? Hurry over and have a look!" Ji Cangyu ordered. He was worried about leaving Ling'er here alone, so he picked up Ling'er and drove over there.
Everyone was in a hurry, and no one noticed that Xu Jun's face showed some uneasiness.
Ling'er followed Ji Cangyu in despair, not at all curious about the sudden fire.
When Ji Cangyu led everyone in a hurry to the tomb, the fire just now had long since disappeared.
"Separately check to see if there is any abnormality." Ji Cangyu explained.
Xu Jun looked at the surrounding situation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His men had accomplished their mission. It's okay to be discovered by Ji Cangyu now, it's just that it's a little ahead of time. Anyway, he has already taken care of the ghost-faced man in black and the people imprisoned in the dungeon.
Xu Jun took the torch from a guard's hand, walked to the entrance of the underground tomb, and said, "Look, there is something abnormal here!"
After hearing this, everyone quickly gathered around.
"There are some footprints here." Xu Jun pointed to the marks on the ground and said. These footprints were intentionally left by his men.
"Did someone enter the tomb just now?" A nurse boldly guessed.
Ji Cangyu also came over and took a torch to look at the stone door of the tomb. There were indeed signs that it had been opened!
He was furious and at the same time very worried. What did the thief want to do by sneaking into Bi'er's tomb?
Without saying a word, Ji Cangyu walked to the side of the opened mechanism, blocked it with his sleeve, and used a special technique to open the first stone door of the tomb while no one could see it.
He only told Xu Jun the opening method of this stone gate on the day of worship. If Xu Jun hadn't asked, he wouldn't have told anyone else, not even Zhong Gong or Zhong Long. Therefore, he did not know how the thief cracked the mechanism.
Inside the first stone door is an underground dining hall. Except for the portrait hanging behind the desk, there is nothing particularly valuable.
All the things worthy of the thieves were placed inside the second stone door by Ji Cangyu. There is the coffin room, where Bi'er's coffin and burial items are placed.
Ji Cangyu quickly walked to the second stone door to check, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The second stone door showed no signs of being opened.
If anyone dares to disturb Bi'er, Ji Cangyu will spend his whole life trying to catch the thief!
"There are also some marks on the ground. It seems that the thief has indeed come in." A nurse squatted on the ground and inspected carefully and said.
"What's he doing here?" Another nurse asked in confusion.
Everyone was surprised that there were no signs of being rummaged through the hall.
"He must have heard something moving outside and ran away in a hurry before he had time to do anything, right?" the nurse just stood up and said.
"Of course that's the case, otherwise you think he's here to pay homage to Mrs. Ji?" a nurse replied casually.
Speaking of worship, one nurse sniffed hard and said, "Why do I smell incense?"
Everyone also sniffed, and there was indeed the smell of incense in this Xiangtang!
Ji Cangyu frowned when he heard this. It had just rained the day before yesterday and everything was muddy. He didn't want to make the tomb dirty, so he didn't bring the children in to worship. There shouldn't be the smell of incense here!
"It looks weird! Let's search carefully!" Xu Jun suddenly said.
Ling'er, who had been standing at the door of the tomb, felt relieved knowing that the thief had not disturbed Aunt Ji. She was not interested in why there was a smell of incense here. She was only worried about Brother Yang.
Ling'er quietly exited the tomb while no one noticed her.
Ling'er had calmed down by now. Brother Yang was such a tenacious person, how could he die on a steep slope? She had to hurry up and save Brother Yang!
