Chapter 359 "Good Strategy"
"What's wrong? Are you encountering any difficulties?" Qi Hanzhou saw that she suddenly stopped while struggling, and hurried forward to ask what happened.
Yun Fu's dark eyes darkened. She pointed at the half-assembled skeleton on the shelf and said, "These bones don't come from the same person at all. Moreover, they didn't even die at the same time."
"Look, when you compare the calf bones on the left and the right, there's a clear difference. The time it took to turn into bones is also correct!"
Yun Fu picked up the skull with her plastic-gloved hands and held it before Qi Hanzhou. "They say that people with beautiful bones also have beautiful skin. Similarly, if someone's bones are extremely ugly, their skin won't be much better either."
Qi Hanzhou stared at the skull that was so close to him, waiting for her next words.
Yun Fu pointed at several parts of the skull with her fingers. "Judging from these bones, this man wasn't very handsome in life. But I remember that your two brothers, while not as good-looking as you, attracted the mad admiration of the noble ladies of Shengjing, but they were both handsome men in Shengjing when they were alive."
So, what Yun Fu wanted to say was: "This skull doesn't belong to your two brothers at all."
After all, the corpse had turned to bones, so Yun Fu didn't think it was strange even if a few bones were lost during the transportation process.
How could the skull, which is such a big thing, be mixed up?
Unless this corpse, no, it should be said that this pile of scattered corpses did not belong to the two young generals of the Qi family at all.
At this moment, Yun Fu recalled all the strange details she had noticed since she saw the coffin.
"The sarcophagus, the iron chains and talismans on it, and even the soul-suppressing nails nailed to the bones inside the coffin are all different from those in Luo City. There is only one possibility: these bones are a decoy set up by them."
This also explains why there are so few guards guarding the sarcophagus in the yard.
Everything seems to make sense.
——
Inside the guest house of Datian'en Temple.
Not long after Yun Fu and the others left the yard, the guards who were guarding the sarcophagus discovered that the sarcophagus in the house had been opened and the corpse inside had disappeared.
The news was immediately reported to Zhu Zhen, the general in charge of building the tower in Muyang City.
When Zhu Zhen received the news, instead of getting angry, he raised his head and laughed a few times.
"A few stupid little thieves want to fight me."
"This general has been in the officialdom for many years. What has enabled me to achieve my current status and achievements?" Zhu Zhen pointed to his large, fleshy head. "It's here."
Around, a group of guards immediately began to flatter him.
"The general is so wise, he is truly a god!"
"Those little thieves still want to fight the general, they are a bit naive."
"General, what a brilliant plan! If His Majesty heard of this, he would definitely look upon you with a new eye. Perhaps, once this tower is completed and we return to Shengjing, His Majesty would even promote you."
…
Amidst the sounds of praise.
Zhu Zhen's expression became increasingly arrogant. "I knew they would come to Muyang City after robbing Luo City. I had a similar stone coffin made in advance and had someone dig up a corpse from a cemetery in a nearby village. It was a trick to use someone else as a substitute."
"Those foolish thieves thought they could accomplish their mission just by being good at fighting. Little did they know that this general used his brains to trick them."
"Alright, those stupid thieves stole the bones and must have left. All the guards in my yard should be withdrawn."
A month ago, Zhu Zhen received a letter via carrier pigeon from Luocheng.
It is known that Qi Chuan's body, which was placed in the underground palace in Luocheng, was stolen.
The main general who was in charge of building the tower was also stabbed by the thieves and almost lost his life.
Zhu Zhen immediately realized that it was impossible for the group of thieves to steal only Qi Chuan's body. They would not let go of the bodies of Qi's other two sons as well.
Hence, the following designs came into being.
Now, the thieves fell into his trap and escaped with the fake corpse.
He can finally rest easy.
But he had no idea that his so-called "good plan" that he was proud of had been exposed.
——
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou naturally would not give up after discovering that the corpse had been replaced.
“Even if the actual sarcophagus containing the remains isn’t inside the Great Tian’en Temple, it won’t be far from here.”
Yun Fu decided to separate from Qi Hanzhou during the day, and the two of them would stroll around the Datian'en Temple. She didn't believe that those people could do it perfectly.
The secret of the sarcophagus is hidden so tightly.
It was the fifth day that the two of them stayed in the Datian'en Temple.
Finally, Yun Fu discovered a very important piece of information.
That is, someone transported food from the back door to the back mountain of the temple, and the amount transported every day was quite a lot.
Food is naturally meant to be eaten.
With so much food, there should be quite a few people staying in the back mountain, right?
After further contact, they found out that they had not found the coffin in the Datian'en Temple.
Yun Fu suspected that the coffin was actually hidden in the back mountain.
When she came back, she told Qi Hanzhou her thoughts.
On the second day, the two men wore black night clothes and quietly followed the guards who were delivering food to the back mountain, following them all the way to the back mountain.
The guards who stayed in the back mountain may have also received the news that the plan in the front mountain had succeeded, and they have lost their vigilance.
He actually started drinking in the cave where the sarcophagus was stored in the back mountain.
When they were in Los Angeles, the two men used a feint to the east and attack in the west to lure the guards away.
This time, Yun Fu was also planning to use this trick.
Let Qi Hanzhou lead people away.
Go into the cave and find what you are looking for.
But at the entrance of the cave, Yun Fu grabbed Qi Hanzhou who was about to act according to the plan, and moved her little ears to listen to the voices coming from inside.
"Those stupid thieves will definitely not find their way here! Don't worry, everyone! Come on, drink!"
"That's right. Those stupid thieves probably didn't even realize the corpse they stole was fake! They might have already left Muyang City by now."
"Okay, let's drink and not talk about those stupid thieves."
…
The expression on Yun Fu's face gradually became playful. She gently curled the corners of her lips, revealing a subtle sneer.
I sighed in my heart.
Stupid thief?
Those calls of "stupid thief" affected Yun Fu's good mood.
So, she immediately decided to change the way she played.
The cave has poor ventilation and all the guards are concentrated together, making it the perfect place to release smoke, poison, and the like.
"Qi Hanzhou, I'm going to get something from the space, please wait a moment."
Qi Hanzhou knew his little girl so well! Looking at the sinister expression on Yun Fu's face, he guessed that the group of people in the cave were in trouble.
