Chapter 325 Mysterious Enough
"Wait, let's burn some paper first." Jiang Yunxi said. After all, they were digging up a human grave. Although they were investigating the fire case in Jiangzhou, they couldn't be disrespectful to the dead.
Now no one knows whether Meng Fusheng is dead or not.
Biluo quickly came forward with a bamboo basket filled with paper money, incense and candles.
Jiang Jingyan quickly stepped forward, first lit the candles, then burned paper money, and finally lit incense and prayed three times. After everything was done, everyone started digging the grave.
After just a short while, the black coffin appeared.
The sun is scorching.
Jiang Yunxi cast a formation, and suddenly the sun disappeared where they were standing.
After the coffin could be opened, Jiang Jingyan skillfully used a hammer to pull out the nails. When he pushed the coffin lid, everyone stared at him intently.
"Wait, how about we take a gamble and see if there is a corpse inside?" Zhan Luochen said loudly.
"Get out of the way." Zhan Beiyuan looked at him fiercely.
"Oh." Zhan Luochen became obedient instantly.
Jiang Jingyan's mouth twitched slightly. Fortunately, he didn't say it just now. He pushed the coffin lid open with force.
"Empty, empty..." Zhan Luochen widened his eyes. Even if decades had passed, there shouldn't be nothing inside.
"Hey, didn't Meng Fusheng die back then?" Jiang Jingyan was close, and he took another closer look. He was very sure that there was really nothing inside. Even if the body had turned into ashes, there should be ashes at least.
Qian Heng looked towards Jiang Yunxi and said with certainty, "There's no Yin energy in the coffin, so there should be no body."
Chu Leyi's eyes widened. "So, Meng Fusheng didn't die when he jumped into the river. Could it be that the fire in Jiangzhou was set by Meng Fusheng? Is she avenging Shisan Niang?"
On the way here.
They all knew about the Jiangzhou fire case, but they didn't expect it to be so brutal. The key point is that the murderer has not been found even after 50 years, making it a shocking unsolved case.
"It seems that Meng Fusheng did not die that year." Zhan Beiyuan did not expect this result, so he jumped into the river and did not die.
"We can't be sure now. If he is not dead, why would the Meng family hold a funeral?" Jiang Yunxi's face was thoughtful. Holding a funeral is not a trivial matter. The Meng family cannot hold a funeral without confirming that the person is dead.
"Yes, if the person is not dead, who would hold a funeral for no reason? Could it be that he came back to life after being put into the coffin and then ran away?" Zhan Luochen said loudly with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Qian Heng stared at him with great momentum, "He's alive, shouldn't you tell your family? Why did you run away secretly?"
Zhan Luochen was glared at by her and said weakly: "I don't know either..."
Qian Heng: "..."
Jiang Yunxi stared at the coffin carefully, then gestured to cover it with soil.
After repairing the tomb, the group quickly left for the city. Seeing that it was still early, they planned to go directly to the Yu family. The Yu family did not move and lived in a large house.
"Who are you looking for?" The butler looked at them with a wary look on his face.
"We want to find out where Yu Shuanghua got married." Jiang Yunxi went straight to the point. On the way here, they had asked other people, but they all said they didn't know.
I guess the Yu family is not very famous in Quanzhou.
"Why are you asking about this?" the butler said coldly, his eyes full of vigilance.
"We are the descendants of her old friends in Jiangzhou Pear Garden. We passed by Quanzhou this time and visited her by the way." Jiang Yunxi said sincerely.
The housekeeper looked at them. They were all dressed richly and did not look like poor relatives who came to beg for money.
He had an impression of Jiangzhou Opera House. His aunt went there to learn opera singing and made a lot of money, which allowed the Yu family to develop slowly and have a big house like the one they have now.
"My aunt is married to the Dai family in the south of the city." The housekeeper did not hide it anymore. If he didn't say it, they could find out by asking around the Yu family.
"Thank you. Let's go to the Dai family to visit her." Jiang Yunxi said. As she thought, Yu Shuanghua was still alive.
The housekeeper looked at them and asked, "Are you really here to visit Auntie?"
Jiang Yunxi smiled, "Of course, we don't have any bad intentions, we just want to visit her."
The housekeeper was relieved to hear her say this.
…
Compared with the north of the city, the south of the city is much more prosperous and lively. It was almost evening and there were a lot of pedestrians walking on the street. Jiang Yunxi first found a good restaurant to have dinner.
They also asked the shopkeeper about the specific location of the Dai family. After dinner, they went straight to the Dai family.
When Jiang Yunxi saw a certain place halfway, he stopped.
"Lan Garden, why does it look similar to Li Garden?" Zhan Beiyuan followed her gaze and frowned slightly. Because of the Time Reversal Formation, he had been to the past, so he knew what Li Garden looked like.
"It's decorated just like the Liyuan Opera House. Let's go and take a look." Jiang Yunxi's face showed interest. It was simply a replica of the Liyuan Opera House, and it was also a place to listen to operas.
A group of people passed by quickly, there were many customers.
After entering the Orchid Garden, Jiang Yunxi had a faint smile on her face. If she hadn't known that the Pear Garden had been burned down long ago, she would have almost thought that she had come to the Pear Garden, and the inside was the same.
This is a replica of a pear garden.
"This place looks nice. Should we listen to opera here?" Zhan Luochen felt that this place was even more elegant than the places for listening to opera in the capital. It was very comfortable and he couldn't help but want to sit down and listen to the opera.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi decided to stay here. She wanted to know who the owner of the Orchid Garden was and why they wanted to build an Orchid Garden like the Pear Garden.
There was only one show in the evening.
Zhan Luochen was very generous and booked the best private room on the second floor, which had the best viewing position.
Seeing that the opera was not about to start, Jiang Yunxi planned to go for a walk, and Zhan Beiyuan went with her. They could walk around the front yard freely, but they were stopped in the backyard.
"Excuse me, two customers. The backyard is where our Lanyuan actors stay. It is not convenient for you to go in." The servant guarding the gate immediately stopped them.
"Can we go in and take a look?" Jiang Yunxi looked inside.
"I'm sorry, there are rules that prohibit entry into the Orchid Garden." The servant said in a very polite manner.
Jiang Yunxi didn't force it, "I want to ask who is the owner of your Orchid Garden?"
The servant smiled and said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to tell you. As a servant of the Orchid Garden, I don't know who the boss behind the scenes is. We have never met him."
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
It's so mysterious that even the guys here don't know who the boss is.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw the door of a room in the row of houses in the backyard open, and an actor in a light pink costume walked out. Her face was so heavily made up that her features could not be seen. She wore an exquisite phoenix crown on her head, and rows of light pink tassels hung on her left and right.
The other person felt the gaze and looked up at Jiang Yunxi. When he was about to look away, his eyes fixed on the hairpin inserted in her bun. When he saw it clearly, he clenched his hands tightly under his wide sleeves.
