C192 (1/2)

After Xiaoqing received the order, she brought a few strong men with a hoe to Sun Dalong's house.

At this moment, when they looked at Sun Xiu and the Song duo in the hall, their faces were deathly pale. One look was enough to tell that there was a problem.

Putting aside the situation in the court, just the two of them, Little Qing and Little White, brought these brawny fellows and their young maidservants over to Sun Dalong's house.

It was already the middle of the night, and the neighbors had all fallen asleep. These lackeys had just eaten their fill and were now walking with heavy footsteps. As a result, they were quite noisy along the way.

At this moment, standing in Sun Dalong's house, the young maid had lit up all the lights in the house, making it seem brighter.

As the bluestone floors in the house were arranged so that it could be seen, and Sun Xiu had said that in order to reinforce the house, there were two layers of bluestone slabs, and it was impossible to see the light in the middle of the night.

Just like this, these men continued to dig for the entire night until they finally managed to dig open the stone slab.

It was already early in the morning. As they had been arguing for the entire night, the people in the neighborhood didn't sleep well. People came out to curse at the people in the street, but they didn't say much.

The one who didn't manage to slip away in time was sent to buy breakfast for everyone. At this time, Little Qing was blankly staring at the dirt under the limestone.

”Little White, take a look. Is there any problem with this dirt?” Little Qing pointed at the mud on the ground as she asked.

Lil 'White looked carefully and shook his head, saying that he really couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this moment, the person who bought breakfast came back. He had been tired of eating all night, and he had finished digesting most of the delicacies that he had eaten last night. Therefore, when he saw the food in front of him, he happily threw the hoe in his hand and went to get his breakfast.

When one of the picks hit the ground, it made a different sound than the others. Upon hearing this, the attentive Little Qing knew that there was a problem.

”No, there's something wrong with this piece of land!” Xiaoqing pointed to a tunnel in the middle of the room.

A few of the servants were eating the youtiao bean milk in their hands. Seeing that Xiaoqing had spoken, they could only eat their breakfast. Then, they swung their tools around and began to dig into the ground.

Not long after, there was a ”dang” sound. The hoe seemed to have hit something hard. The group of people looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that there really was something wrong with the house.

Thinking of this, the messenger increased his speed. Not long later, a six-foot square stone slab appeared in the middle of the room. The group then broke the stone slab open and discovered that there was a large hole underneath. The hole was about five feet wide. When it opened, everyone could smell a terrible stench.

They were all from the yamen's entrance, so they could not be more familiar with this smell. It was the stench of corpses. When they saw the corpse, they picked the bravest one among the group to tie it up and hung him on the tree.

After the corpses appeared, everyone could see that the person dressed up was no stranger. It was none other than Sun Dalong, who had jumped into the sea to commit suicide that day!

When everyone saw this, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They were both surprised and happy. What surprised them was that Sun Dalong's corpse had actually been placed in such a dark place for several days. He was overjoyed that the mystery could be solved today.
