Lin Yue flipped through Xu Changhong's hidden script and knew that he had buried gold bricks here, so she was not very surprised.
Instead, I went around to the backyard and saw a particularly large banyan tree.
The banyan tree has branches all over, but the roots are tightly connected, and the branches are particularly thick and lush, like a giant mountain umbrella.
On the side of the tree trunk, there were stacked stones that looked like they had been dug out of the soil and had been placed there for some time.
There happened to be a tree hole dug under the stone. Lin Yue did not see this scene in the script, but driven by curiosity, she found a wooden stick and started digging.
As she was digging, something that looked like an antique rolled out. She thought there was a treasure here and quickly reached out to take it.
It didn't matter that he caught it, he just hugged a skull.
When Lin Yue saw it clearly, she heard a cry of "Ah!!!" that resounded through the sky.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Lin Yue crawling out from the backyard in a panic.
That's right, crawl.
Because her legs went weak, she never stood up again.
The Grand Princess, the Grand Princess, and Zou Yuer hurried forward to help her up, looking puzzled.
The eldest princess asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost?"
Lin Yue's teeth chattered: "No, no..."
The eldest princess asked suspiciously: "Is that a thief?"
Zou Yuer said, "Auntie Huang is not afraid of people."
Not afraid of people???
That's a monster!
The eldest princess and the eldest princess were so scared that they dragged Lin Yue to the room paved with gold bricks.
Then he quickly closed the door, leaving the guards outside looking at each other in bewilderment.
The eldest princess asked, "Is there a monster in the backyard?"
The eldest princess asked, "Should we escape?"
Lin Yue shook her head. After calming down, she looked at her hands and said tremblingly, "I just dug up... a human skull."
The Grand Princess: “…”
The eldest princess: “…”
Zou Yuer: “…”
After a moment of silence, the eldest princess was very puzzled: "You brought us here to dig for gold bricks, but you went to dig for skulls by yourself?"
The Grand Princess: "The focus is on people."
Zou Yuer was terrified and said, "There really is a dead person in the house."
Lin Yue said: "It's in the tree hole at the back. It's so scary."
The eldest princess taunted him, "Didn't you say you were afraid of men but not ghosts?"
Lin Yue said: "The point is not that it's a ghost, it's that I thought it was an antique and picked it up in one go."
"A skull, the kind you hold in your arms!!!"
The other three people: "..." They seemed to understand a little but not quite.
However, they looked at Lin Yue's arms and hands tacitly and moved away silently.
Lin Yue: "..."
[Sure enough, human sorrows and joys are not the same]
[Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu, I was really scared just now]
[Heaven and earth, please bless me, I hope the deceased will be found guilty and not come after me.]
Lin Yue thought about it, slowly stood up, went out and told the guards to go and check, and then find a coroner to perform an autopsy.
When the coroner arrived, he quickly said, "Princess Ding, a male skeleton was found under the tree. The deceased was a young man around 20 years old, who had been dead for several decades. His identity is unknown."
"In another area of the backyard where the soil was loose, another skeleton was unearthed. The deceased was a woman, and there was also the skeleton of a baby, who died about two to three years ago. Their identity is unknown. Only a jade hairpin was found next to the skeleton."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and said to the guards, "Please help send the body to the charity cemetery and notify the family of the missing person who reported the body to come and claim it. If no one claims it after a month, we will find a place to bury it. The burial fee can be collected from Prince Ding's Mansion."
The guard responded and went to do it.
Lin Yue asked the coroner again, "You are helping to investigate the case at the government office. When did the Dong family tragedy happen? According to your inference, was the male corpse found before or after the Dong family's death?"
The coroner said, "The Dong family tragedy happened ten years ago, so it shouldn't have been too long ago. But according to the calculations made with the stone pestle, it should have happened before the Dong family tragedy."
Lin Yue said, "Then there's no way to investigate. After sending the body over, just ask the charity cemetery to find a place for burial. As for the funeral expenses, I'll pay for it."
Lin Yue took out a banknote and handed it to the coroner, saying, "The rest is your hard work fee. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip."
The coroner quickly took it and said respectfully, "Your Highness is very polite. This is what I should do."
"Then I'll do it right away."
Lin Yue nodded and watched the coroner slowly move the corpse away. She let out a breath and thought to herself, "I hope everything is good luck. I don't want to be haunted by nightmares at night."
She really didn't expect what happened today, and she was really scared.
Lin Yue returned and saw that the gold bricks had been packed up, so she said, "Let's leave quickly. Since the discovery of the bones has alarmed the authorities, Xu Changhong must know about it."
The eldest princess said, "Don't be afraid. Will he dare to come and rob me?"
Lin Yue said, "Of course I'm not afraid, but there was a murder here, which proves that someone else has been here besides him. What if he finds an owner to claim the lost property, and the amount he claims matches, it will be difficult for the government to deal with him."
The eldest princess agreed and said quickly, "Then let's go quickly. This money must be spent on the people. He can't let it go for free."
The entire yard was quickly emptied, and the guards drove the carriages and transported the gold bricks directly back to the palace.
At the same time, under the loose soil, a black figure quietly came to the He family.
Rong Ting, who had already been exposed because of He Yingwu, was furious when she heard the news and asked, "They've all been moved away?"
