"I don't know what happened!" Yang was shocked and her face turned pale with fear. "So many people saw me burying Yi He here with their own eyes. How could I dare to do anything?!"

"Why don't you dare? If my mother hadn't insisted on opening the coffin today, no one would have touched my grandfather's coffin. So, even if you secretly replaced my grandfather's body, no one would find out." Yi Mobao pulled Yi Qianhuan out of the tomb, "Mother, it was this old witch and her son who kept stopping us from opening the coffin, and they didn't dare to eat the lie detector fruit. It shows that they must be hiding something!"

"Lady Yi, please give us a reasonable explanation for what happened today! Otherwise, I will report you to the emperor and have you punished!" Qin Zifu's eyes were filled with anger.

Not only him, but all the people watching around him had angry expressions on their faces.

Duke Yi was a loyal minister who died in battle while guarding the border to protect the people.

It is unbelievable and infuriating that such a loyal person had his tomb robbed after his death and his body disappeared.

"Mom! Please say something!" Yi Guifan, Dou Shi and Yi Tianci all felt weak in the knees. He felt like he was about to be pierced through by the contemptuous gazes of the people around him!

Yang's lips trembled slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I swear on my life that if I replace the body of Duke Yi, I will die without a complete body, and go to the Avici Hell after death, and I will never be able to be reborn!"

"Just swearing a poisonous oath cannot prove your innocence." Yi Qianhuan looked at Yang with disdain, "I'll give you one last chance. Yang, who is the man lying in the coffin? Where is my father's body?"

"I really don't know!" Yang covered her chest and cried, "I really can't clear myself of this even if I jump into the Yellow River! Huan'er, it's not just you, but grandma has also been kept in the dark! Your father has been buried for five years, and no one knows what happened in these five years!"

"Yes! Mother is right! Yi Qianhuan, you keep saying that your father's body was swapped with us, do you have any evidence to prove your guess?" Dou reacted and said with fear, "Your father's body is missing. You can say that we did something wrong, but you can't put the blame of swapping your father's body on us!"

"You people are so stubborn! Mother, people like them won't tell a word of truth even if you burn them for three days and three nights after they die! I think we should find grandfather's body first. We might find some evidence of their actions." Yi Mobao said.

"In that case, please follow me to where my father might be." Yi Qianhuan took a deep breath and explained, "Master Qin, the villain put this body in my father's coffin, most likely to seize my father's luck. So as long as I can find my father's body and verify my guess, I can track down who is behind the murder of my father."

"Don't worry, Madam Crown Prince. Duke Yi is a pillar of the country. As a colleague, I don't want to see him suffer. No matter how Madam Crown Prince wants to investigate today, I will accompany him to the end!" Qin Zifu said, quietly glancing at the path outside the ancestral tomb.

Speaking of which, Ji Chilian's carriage didn't seem to catch up.

"Thank you, Lord Qin." Yi Qianhuan stood in front of the tombstone, facing northwest. "According to my dream at that time, I saw my father walking towards the northwest. This proves that my father's body should be hidden in the northwest."

"But the range you mentioned is very broad. Outside the city, there is a barren mountain to the northwest. Where can we find the body of Duke Yi?" Qin Zifu asked with a frown.

Yi Qianhuan pinched his fingers and said thoughtfully: "If someone wants to steal my father's luck, they must use a fortune-stealing formation. I know roughly how this formation works, so I can be sure that my father's body is not too far away from the body in the tomb, otherwise the formation will not work and the person behind it will not get any benefit. I can roughly determine the location, please follow me."

"Okay." Qin Zifu nodded and glanced at the four members of the Yang family. "Keep an eye on them and don't let them play any tricks."

The people around were already angry when they saw that the body was not that of the Duke of Italy.

Faced with the suspicious Yang family, they spontaneously surrounded and controlled the four of them, leaving them no chance to escape.

Yi Qianhuan drew a talisman with cinnabar and yellow paper, lit it and watched the talisman turn into ashes, floating towards the northwest in the breeze.

"Follow the direction of the talisman paper and cigarette ash. Everyone follow me." Yi Qianhuan took Yi Mobao's hand and walked towards the northwest.

The others quickly followed.

After walking for about half an hour, Yi Qianhuan saw that the surrounding scenery was becoming more and more desolate, and the gloomy energy and resentment floating in the air were becoming heavier.

Quickening their pace, Yi Qianhuan and the others soon arrived at a mass grave.

The ashes floated forward for a distance, then stopped on a small hill covered with the skeletons of unknown people and disappeared.

"It's right here, dig quickly."

Following Yi Qianhuan's order, everyone rushed forward and used all the available props around them to dig up the hillside.

Soon, a coffin appeared in front of everyone.

A strong man saw the coffin and dug harder with a branch. As a result, when the branch pierced the ground, he dug out a black snake.

The black snake was enraged, and it hissed with its tongue out, then bit the strong man's ankle.

"Be careful!" Yi Qianhuan was on guard and threw a dart when the black snake appeared.

The dart cut off the snake's head, but the black snake did not die immediately after being split into two. Its body and head began to twist separately, and blood flowed from the wound and splashed onto the coffin, corroding several small holes in the wooden coffin.

"What a strong poison!" Qin Zifu was shocked and quickly called out to the people, "Get out of the way, be careful of the snake venom!"

The crowd made way for Yi Qianhuan, who walked over and pierced the black snake's head and body with a dagger.

"Liuli." Yi Qianhuan poked the black snake's corpse with a dagger and watched Liuli coming over.

Taking a small bottle from Liuli, Yi Qianhuan opened it, drank a sip of the liquid inside, and sprayed it on the black snake.

"It's realgar wine." Qin Zifu said after smelling the wine.

"These are black ghost snakes. They are extremely poisonous and like places with strong yin energy. The presence of these black ghost snakes is enough to prove that this coffin is not simple. There must be some evil formation nearby." Yi Qianhuan said as he used a fire stick to light the bodies of the black ghost snakes and threw them on the coffin.
