Chapter 36

Seven corpses were lined up in a row, half of their bodies stained with plasma, and they all died with their eyes open.

The six corpse cremators were all selected from the crematorium. I can’t say how powerful they are. At least they are the best and have seen the scene.

They were all decapitated corpses and they didn't have to choose. They each chose one and started cleaning the corpse.

The tools are all ready-made and much better than the crematorium.

First, he cleaned the blood stains on his body, took a wooden stick, and nailed the severed head back to his neck. He also took a needle and thread, and sewed the fracture layer by layer for three full layers before it was completed.

After sewing the neck and eyelids, the body was finally arranged and moved to the furnace.

To be cautious, Qin He gave the corpse a stabbing nail when no one was paying attention.

The corpse is dead with eyes closed, and the resentment is not as great as usual. Let's touch the bottom of this place first.

The underground fire is connected to each crematorium through the tunnel at the bottom of the tomb. To start the fire, you only need to hook the fire cover with a hook, and the underground fire can flow into the crematorium, which is very convenient.

In the raging fire, the decapitated corpse was peaceful and there was no sign of being raised.

The soul-sucking lamp and corpse-suppressing charms posted in eight directions in the crematorium jointly suppressed the corpse. The corpse, which was not particularly vicious, was really unable to move.

But having to move means that the corpse will not resist.

No, as soon as a cremator at the Xicheng Corpse Cremation House opened the fire cover, the two corpse-suppressing charms outside the crematorium were burned to ashes.

The cremator's face turned pale with fright. The two corpse-suppressing charms were worth dozens of taels of silver.

Although no body was recovered, the loss was huge.

A few dozen taels of silver can buy two strong oxen.

When the corpse-burning officer Wei Wu saw the corpse-suppressing talisman burning, he ran over and scolded him severely. The one-eyed corpse-burning officer did not come over but came over to curse: "If you burn the talisman again, throw him out and ask the soldiers again."

What kind of food is Ma Si doing there and what kind of things are you giving me?"

Qin He shook his head speechlessly. The corpse could not be blamed for the corpse cremator in Xicheng. He could even burn two corpse-suppressing charms here.

If placed in the crematorium, the cremator will definitely die, and the officer on duty at the crematorium may not be able to deal with it. In the end, it will inevitably become a "fugitive corpse", and no one knows how many lives it will consume.

In comparison, two corpse-suppressing charms are already the lightest price.

And this is also the meaning of the existence of the Corpse Cremation Hall.

It's just that the people in the corpse-burning hall didn't think so. They only saw the loss of two corpse-suppressing charms, and they didn't think about the consequences if the corpse was left outside. They only thought it was the corpse-burner.

no.

Because in any case, corpse-suppressing charms and soul-capturing lanterns are foreign objects, and to a large extent, corpse cremators also play a large role, otherwise this industry would not be a "fate-oriented" meal.

Wei Wu brought new corpse-suppressing talismans to replace them and continued to burn the corpses.

The waiting process is a bit boring. The fire here is the maximum when the fire cover is fully opened. Unlike the crematorium, you still need to blow air to add coal.

There is absolutely nothing to do.

Qin He discovered that although this earth fire was stronger than the fire burned by coal, it was worse than the fire of the abyss, about 30% slower.

But Qin He couldn't use the fire of the abyss, so he could only wait patiently and slowly.

He is anxious.

The cremation hall was full of corpses. To him, these corpses were nothing but delicate little beauties waiting for his favor.

He just had the urge to set off a fire and shovel all these corpses into his arms.

After waiting for a full hour, the body was completely charred and no longer in danger.

Wei Wu came over and took a look, then asked Qin He and others to stop guarding and went out to help clean up the bodies.

Half an hour passed by washing, rinsing, sewing and mending.

The black and white curtain slowly lowered, the sound of wooden bangs pierced through the dim light, and shadow puppets performed.

The body was completely incinerated.

The name of the deceased was Hou Zhuang. His parents died in his early years, so he received little discipline. He stole what he could and asked for it when he couldn't steal it. Anyway, he was living on the food of hundreds of families. In those years when things were better, he didn't let him

starve.

As Houzhuang grew older, his stealing skills improved greatly, and he stopped begging. He specialized in stealing and became a habitual thief.

As time goes by, people reach middle age again, and their health is not as good as before. They are worried that they will starve to death one day when they are old. They are not willing to lose the skills they have practiced for half a life and endured countless beatings, so they accept them as a beggar.

The godson was named Hou Xiaoliu.

Hey, you remember this name, Hou Xiaoliu, the thief who was forced by Qin He to "share half of the money in person" a few days ago.

The world is such a small place.

As for how Houzhuang was caught and put on the guillotine, we have to borrow an old saying.

It is said that "if a person sits at home, disaster will come from heaven."

A few days ago, a manor owned by the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion outside the city was somehow invaded by thieves, and nearly a thousand stones of grain and hundreds of taels of gold and silver were lost.

This matter got serious. King Zhongshan was hereditary and his ancestor was Xu Dahai, the founding general. He had many marriages to the royal family and was prominent for generations.

The king of Zhongshan was furious and hit the soldiers and horses of the five cities on the head.

As for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, they were taken advantage of. They could be found in any trouble on the ground in the capital, but at the foot of the Imperial City there were a lot of royal relatives, princes and nobles, and no one could offend them.

The military and horse departments of the five cities conduct a comprehensive investigation, but they can do nothing.

If a thousand kilograms of grain can be stolen in one night, can the thief be an ordinary person?

But the King of Zhongshan has to explain whether the gold, silver and grain can be recovered. You have to show your attitude first, at least act like you are "working hard", right?

The commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, Tang Jing'an, slapped his forehead.

Arrest people!

Who to arrest?

Whoever steals is caught.

People are afraid of being famous just as pigs are afraid of being strong. No one can be spared from this habitual thief like Houzhuang.

So Houzhuang was sleeping with his family when he was caught and thrown into the prison cell of the Dongcheng Bingma Division without realizing it.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing cannot be blamed on Houzhuang no matter what.

A thousand shi of grain must be committed by a gang. He is not a thief at all, but a robber.

The Prince of Zhongshan is not stupid and is not that easy to fool.

Houzhuang knew that he would be released after not being locked up for too long. The Dongcheng Bingma Division was just doing it to extort some money, so he didn't worry and slept peacefully in the cell with his legs crossed.

But as the old saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortunes never come alone. The house leaks when it rains all night, and the boat is late and encounters a strong wind.

Houzhuang never dreamed that this man who was unjustly imprisoned would lose his life.

In the middle of the night last night, a group of people came to the prison of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division.

who?

Feiyuwei's factory boss!

A bunch of killers!

With just a little bit of confidence, Houzhuang was transferred from the prison of Dongcheng Bingma Division to the prison of Feiyu Guard.

where?

Imprisonment!

When Hou Zhuang saw this scene, he thought that this life must have passed, and he would most likely become a "death substitute".

When he arrived in the imperial prison, it was as expected. His tongue was cut off, his head was pressed, and then he was shaved into a money rat's tail and put in shackles.

The next day, he was taken to the execution ground and his head fell to the ground with a click of a knife.

The person who dared to take my place was Di Lu Xinzuo.

injustice!

An eternal injustice!
