Chapter 29 Digging a Grave
Wen Yuanzhi told him to stop, "If the crime is convicted, the case will be transferred to the county. Since you said that you have a pledge of guilty and will be punished, will the county send someone here?"

"Never."

Ji Pu said, "This is strange. Has Wu Zuo done an autopsy?"

The boatman nodded, "The autopsy has been done and it proves that the Zhao family did die from poisoning."

Wen Yuanzhi turned to ask the Zhao family, "Did the Zhao family all lose their lives?"

The boatman said no, "The villain didn't make it clear. The Zhao family has passed away, Mrs. Zhao, two sons and Mr. Zhao. There is still a newly married young son, Mr. Zhao San, and two unmarried girls."

"Is this Young Master Zhao the third person in charge of the Zhao family now?"

He said no, "It's Young Master Zhao's sister, Miss Zhao Er."

"Where are Miss Zhao San and the bride?"

The boatman said, "Miss Zhao San has always been timid. She was greatly shocked when her parents died. She has gone to her aunt's house to rest. The bride has just been married. She talks to my sister about everything. There is no dispute between my sisters-in-law."

Ji Pu asked, "Are there any leftover poisonous cakes?"

"Everything has been eaten by the Zhao family. The maid who made the pastry was also beaten to death. Now she is dead without any evidence. My poor sister is going to die unjustly. The case cannot be overturned. I went to seek justice once and was beaten back." He was sobbing as he spoke.

Wen Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, "Dead people can't speak, but they can't lie. Living people can speak, but the truth and lies of living people are mixed."

The boatman hurriedly said that everything he said was true.

Wen Yuanzhi smiled, "I'm referring to others."

As the sky turned dark, he stood up and said, "We'll talk tomorrow at this time, just wait for us here."

The old man had no choice but to watch Ji Pu follow Wen Yuan away.

Gou Yue said as she walked, "He can't wait any longer, so you just send him away like this?"

Wen Yuan said, "If I really wanted to send him away, I wouldn't ask him to be here tomorrow."

Ji Pu said, "I won't leave tomorrow. Since your Excellency has met him and wants to help him, I think he needs help. I will finish this matter for you and then return to Liangzhu. There is nothing going on in the court recently."

Gou Yue squeezed him aside and said, "It's enough for me to help him. You can go back."

"I said I won't leave until tomorrow."

Wen Yuan was helpless and asked Gou Yue to turn her head.

"Ah? Isn't this immoral!"

He laughed angrily, "Didn't you just promise to help the boatman?"

"But... it's really not good to dig someone's grave, isn't it?"

Wen Yuanzhi said to Ji Pu, "Just now the boatman said where the body was buried, did you hear clearly?"

"Yes."

He closed the fan, and the moonlight above his head made the ground shine, "Let's do it in the middle of the night."

Gou Yue asked, "Aren't you going?"

He pursed his lips and said, "How can I go to this immoral thing?"

Gou Yue said, "You want me and Ji Pu to do something that damages Yin De?"

He said, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you can save two lives of the Wang family, think about how much merit you will accumulate."

Ji Pu stretched his arms and prepared to get up early in the middle of the night.

The moonlight slowly stretched the silhouettes of the three people.

When they returned to the inn, they saw Yaotai and Lian Yu waiting for them.

Gou Yue ran over and talked to them about today's events.

When Lian Ju went upstairs, she turned around and looked at Ji Pu. She saw that there seemed to be insects crawling behind him, so he hurriedly averted his eyes.

"Why is there still such an unjust case?" Yaotai said.

The three of them walked all the way to the room.

In the second half of the night, Gou Yue yawned and stood up. Ji Pu was already standing outside the door.

"I got up so late, I still have to wait for you."

Gou Yue didn't wake up, "If you like, go first. I didn't ask you to wait for me."

"Master Wen asked me to wait for you."

"Let's go." He washed his face with water and rinsed his mouth next to the well water.

The lanterns under the eaves were bright. Ji Pu hesitated for a long time, and finally walked a little further away. Pointing to his neck as if unintentionally, he asked her about the red mark on her neck, "What kind of injury is this? It's so deep?"

Gou Yue said, "Dart... One winter day when it was snowing, our family went out to play and ran into bandits. Then I resisted with all my strength and was beaten until we were inextricable. Hey - I got my neck cut." " Where are the bandits so rampant?" Ji Pu asked.

Gou Yue didn't want to expose too much, and Wen Yuanzhi still didn't know that she had been with him for more than two years, and she hadn't figured out how to tell him.

"It's all over, so many questions."

Not long after, the two came to a farmland and saw several graves, which were still fresh soil.

"Just dig one, right?"

Ji Pu hurriedly covered her mouth and touched her lips that were cold by the night wind. "It is not a small crime to dig a human grave. Don't speak loudly."

Gou Yue sighed and spat several times, "Can't you just explain it clearly and cover my mouth? You just came out of the inn toilet, did you wash your hands?"

Ji Pu started digging the grave, "It doesn't seem like there is one."

Gou Yue wanted to give him a shovel.

After a while, I heard him say again, "I'm not untying my little hands, I'm just doing it for convenience."

She slowly tightened her grip on the shovel and swung it towards him, but he grabbed the wooden handle and said, "Wash it, wash it, I'm just teasing you."

"You are looking for death."

The two of them quickly opened the coffin.

Gou Yue was confused when facing the corpse, "Are we going to move the dead person back?"

Ji Pu told her to go further, took out a sharp knife from his sleeve, and opened it from his abdomen.

"what are you doing?"

He didn't say anything, but took some handkerchiefs and wrapped them in layers.

"Okay, let's restore it to the original state." Ji Pu said.

"You got the fruit that he didn't finish eating?"

"Exactly, there is glutinous rice in the Qingming fruit, which is not easy to digest."

Gou Yue vomited, "I'll close it again. Don't come over."

"You're not even afraid of the dead, but you're still afraid of what's in his stomach?" Ji Pu was very disdainful.

Gou Yue closed the grave and kowtowed twice, "This is also to avenge you, but please don't come to us."

Ji Pu turned around and left. There was a cool breeze in front of the grave. Gou Yue hurriedly got up and said, "Wait for me!"

"You turn around and see if anyone is following us?" Ji Pu said.

How dare Gou Yue look back, "Don't scare me, I'll tell you!"

When we returned to the inn, it was already getting light.

Ji Pu told her to go to sleep first and left the inn.

When it was daylight and Gou Yue slept for an hour, he saw Ji Pu come back.

Wen Yuanzhi had been waiting for a while and had eaten breakfast.

Ji Pu sat down next to him and took out the bag of things. Gou Yue couldn't even drink the soy milk.

"You have to come over while I'm eating?" she asked.

"You eat yours, I didn't say anything."

Wen Yuanzhi asked, "How is the situation?"

Ji Pu replied, "I've asked about it and had it checked. It's not poisonous."

He said to himself, "The corpse shows signs of poisoning, but the Qingming Fruit is not poisonous..."

Ji Pu added, "One more thing. The boatman said yesterday -"

"He said that the bodies of the Zhao family were not stiff a few days after their death, and their joints were just like normal people." Gou Yue remembered this.

"That's right. After being poisoned, the person's complexion remains unchanged and his joints remain as normal. He just vomits black blood. This poison is also strange." Ji Pu said.

The three of them waited until afternoon.

Lianju and Yaotai have purchased a lot of things and are just waiting to go to Hongyefang.Seeing that Gou Yue was about to go out, the two of them proposed to go together. Gou Yue thought of digging the grave last night, shook her head and said, "I'll tell you when I come back tonight, but it's really not good to go together."

Yaotai said, "Be careful in everything."

Several people came here. The boatman was still wearing yesterday's clothes and hat, with thin cheeks. Gou Yue felt tight, "You won't be waiting here for us all night, right?"

The boatman said, "I don't know where these nobles will stay, and I don't dare to rush the adults, so I have to wait here for fear of missing out."
