All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 74 How could it be him?

As the fragrance of the rhinoceros rose, the soul fragments on the table gradually gathered together.

It was a man about 25 or [-] years old, with a thin body and a very fair and handsome appearance.

Xizhaoxiang can show the complete appearance of the deceased before death. He is wearing an indigo straight gown and a green jade hairpin. His whole body exudes a gentle and elegant atmosphere.

The man looked down at himself, as if he didn't know why the soul would return to its original state, his face was full of doubts.

"Meow..." The cat was so happy when it saw him, it circled around him.

When he saw the cat, there was sadness in his eyes, "Xuetuan, you have been missing for so long, so it turns out that you have already..."

The cat rolled over and rubbed against his hand.

"So your name is Xuetuan." Shen Lingxi looked at the man, "Do you know the origin of Xuetuan, my lord? I have some chance with it. Its body is missing. I have to find it for it and put it in the coffin."

It wasn't until this moment that the man realized that Shen Lingxi could see him, and hurriedly greeted her.

"This is the empress dowager's favorite pet. It disappeared suddenly a few months ago, and my empress fell seriously ill because of it." He sighed softly, "If I knew it had passed away, I don't know how sad the empress dowager would be."

Xuetuan let out a "meow" when he heard these words, and lowered his head, his glazed mandarin duck eyes showed sadness for the first time.

Shen Lingxi sighed slightly.

She had vaguely guessed earlier that this cat must have something to do with the royal family.

Unexpectedly, the cat's former owner was actually the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the cat's body is probably also in the palace.

With her current status, how could she enter the palace?
Shen Lingxi had no idea for a while, so she stopped thinking about it, put on the casing gloves, and started to sew up the man's body.

"Girl, don't bother." The man said softly: "My fate is like this. If I die, I will die. Just let me be an unknown corpse and just disappear."

Shen Lingxi paused slightly.

She has seen many people who died violently over the years, most of them had deep resentment and hated the murderer to the bone. When the dead soul saw her, they either cried bitterly, cursed the injustice of the heavens, and complained about the miserable fate.

Like him, who died in such a tragic situation, and did not intend to avenge himself, and wanted to expose it, it was unprecedented No.1.

Shen Lingxi looked up at him curiously, and saw that his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and there was a hint of sadness in his expression, but there was no trace of resentment, as if he had calmly let go.

But if you really let go, the soul of the dead will quickly dissipate and reincarnate, so how can it be piled up with these stumps?
"Although I don't know why the young master wants to let the murderer go, but murder pays for his life. This is the rule of the world, and it is also the law of the Great Zhou. I only do what I should do."

She paused and softened her voice, "This rhinoceros incense can only last for an hour at most, when the incense burns, the young master's soul will turn back into fragments, if your family sees your dead body like this, they will be sad. "

The man's fair face was a little stunned, and he sighed, "I have long since lost my family in this world, so who would feel sad for someone like me..."

Shen Lingxi didn't answer any more, just lowered her head and continued with her work.

This corpse was the most difficult to restore among the corpses that Shen Lingxi had handled.

After the residual limbs were brought together and sutured, the face was repaired.

The murderer probably didn't want people to identify him, or he hated his face so much, it was covered with bloodstains all over it, making it look particularly ferocious.

Shen Lingxi could only use some special paste to reshape him, and then use a human skin mask to draw his appearance according to the shape of his soul and stick it on the face.

After ten hours of busy work, the body was finally repaired.

During this process, people from Dali Temple came to watch the excitement, wave after wave, all of whom were amazed at the little girl's craftsmanship.

At the back, all the on-duty and off-duty workers rushed over and volunteered to help Shen Lingxi, just to learn some skills about tidying up the corpse.

Mu Huai'an stood guard at the door, taking a look inside from time to time, and saw Shen Lingxi's expression focused on stitching together the indistinguishable parts of the stumps, and finally "created" a lifelike corpse.

For the first time, he deeply realized that his previous understanding of Shen Lingxi was extremely shallow.

After the restoration of the body was completed, Mu Huai'an walked up to the table and took one look, his face was full of surprise, "How could it be him?"

"You know him?" Shen Lingxi raised her eyebrows and asked.

"When I went to pay my respects to the concubine, I met her in her palace." Mu Huai'an was thoughtful, "He is Yuzhu, the eunuch of Simo in the Yutan Palace, and he only serves the concubine's pen and ink in the Yutan Palace on weekdays. , seldom communicated with others, and seldom left the palace, why did he die outside the palace, and was thrown into Prince An's mansion?"

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Yu Zhu, only to see that he didn't seem to hear him, he was teasing Xue Tuan with his head down, and he didn't intend to answer at all.

The person concerned neither wanted to say anything, so she naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

She is only responsible for burying the corpse, and investigating the case is the business of Dali Temple.

"My work is done, and the body is best preserved in Fu'an Hall."

Mu Huai'an nodded, his expression was a little more respectful than before, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll take you back."

When going out, Shen Lingxi put on the veiled cap again, the snow ball was still the same as when she came, running around in each cell, attracting the attention of those dead souls.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Lingxi realized that this little guy did it on purpose, just to help her, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

But Yuzhu didn't follow her, but stayed beside her dead body all the time, as if she had made up her mind that she didn't want to pursue his murderer.

But even if he is unwilling to reveal who the murderer is, Shen Lingxi believes that since Dali Temple knows his identity, there are plenty of ways to find out the case.

*
Two days later, when the married girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion returned home, she was seen not to be the fifth girl, Shen Lingxi, but Mu Huai'an, the eldest son of the Mu family.

It was Shen Yuyao, the fourth girl, and Mu Huaijie, the second son of the Mu family.

People in the capital like to watch the fun, and they all exploded.

Rumors that "Shen Ji was partial to the elder daughter and mean to the younger daughter, and Li Daitao forced his second married daughter to the Mu family, forcing the Mu family to also marry Li Daitao to marry the younger son" were rampant.

No matter what the two parties think, in the eyes of outsiders, the two families are either getting married or feuding.

Some people feel pity for Shen Lingxi's life, and she is homeless as a child, and finally finds her relatives, but they are not welcome.

There were also people who scolded Shen Ji for being cunning and ruthless.

Even Shen Yuyao became the vicious girl who snatched her younger sister's marriage.

What's more, the fact that Shen Yuyao was actually the daughter of Shen Ji's concubine, who pretended to be a legitimate daughter and raised her under the knee of her original spouse, was also picked up.

These gossips pushed Shen Ji and the married Shen Yuyao to the forefront overnight.

Shen Lingxi also took advantage of this shareholder wind to take the repentance letter written by Shen Ji to the patriarch, and asked the patriarch to press the witness's fingerprints, and arranged for the clansmen to leave the ancestors in the Hou's mansion in public. Everything was moved to the old ancestor's villa in the eastern suburbs.

After most of the Hou's mansion was evacuated, Shen Ji finally figured out something, and became angry with embarrassment. He mounted his sword and led people to Wangxian Village, vowing to smash Shen's Coffin Shop and Fu'an Hall to pieces.

But when he arrived at Wangxian Village, he saw a black waiter standing respectfully at the door of Fu'an Hall...
