Seven corpses were lined up in a row, half of their bodies were stained with blood plasma, and all of them died with their eyes open.
The six crematorium workers were all selected from the crematorium. I wouldn’t say they were very skilled, but at least they were the best and had seen a lot.
They were all headless corpses and there was no choice, so each of them picked one and started to clean the bodies.
The tools are readily available and much better than a crematorium.
First, he cleaned the blood stains on his body, took out a wooden axe, nailed the severed head back to the neck, and then took out a needle and thread to sew the broken end layer by layer. It took three layers to complete the work.
After sewing the neck and eyelids, they tidied up the body and put it on the stove.
To be on the safe side, Qin He rewarded the corpse with a corpse-suppressing nail when no one was paying attention.
The corpse died with its eyes open, and the resentment is extremely great. Let's find out the truth about this place first.
The underground fire connects to each crematorium through a corridor at the bottom of the tomb. To start the fire, one only needs to use a hook to open the fire cover, and the underground fire will flow into the crematorium, which is very convenient.
In the raging fire, the headless corpse lay still, with no signs of rising.
In addition to the soul-capturing lamps, there are also corpse-suppressing talismans posted on the eight positions in the crematorium to suppress the corpses. Unless the corpse is particularly ferocious, it cannot move.
But movement doesn't mean the corpse won't resist.
Just now, a cremator at the West City Crematorium had just opened the fire cover when the two corpse-suppressing talismans outside the crematorium were burned to ashes.
The cremator's face turned pale with fear. The two corpse-suppressing talismans were worth dozens of taels of silver.
Although no corpses rose up, the loss was huge.
A few dozen taels of silver can buy two strong bulls.
When the cremator Wei Wu saw the corpse-suppressing talisman burning, he ran over and scolded him harshly. The one-eyed cremator didn't come over, but the scolding came over: "If you burn the talisman again, throw him out. Ask the military commander what they do for a living and what they sent you."
Qin He shook his head speechlessly. The corpse couldn't be blamed on the cremator in West City. He could have burned two corpse-suppressing talismans here.
If it were placed in a crematorium, the cremator would surely die, and the officer on duty at the crematorium would probably not be able to deal with it. In the end, it would inevitably become an "escaped corpse", and no one knew how many lives it would claim.
In comparison, two corpse-suppressing talismans are the lightest price to pay.
And this is also the meaning of the existence of the crematorium.
However, the people in the crematorium did not think so. They only saw the loss of the two corpse-suppressing talismans, and did not think about the consequences if the corpse was left outside. They only thought that the crematorium was not good enough.
Because no matter what, the corpse-suppressing talisman and the soul-capturing lamp are external objects, and the cremator also plays a big role to a large extent, otherwise this industry would not be based on "fate".
Wei Wu took out the corpse-suppressing talisman again and continued to burn the corpse.
The waiting process is a bit boring. The fire here is as big as it can be when the fire cover is fully opened. It is not like the crematorium, where air needs to be blown and coal added.
There's absolutely nothing to do.
Qin He discovered that although this underground fire was stronger than the fire from burning coal, it was weaker than the fire from the abyss, about 30% slower.
But Qin He couldn't use the Fire of the Abyss, so he could only wait patiently.
He is anxious.
The crematorium was filled with corpses. To him, these were not just corpses, but rather beautiful girls waiting for his favor.
It just made him want to set a big fire and grab all the corpses in his arms.
After waiting for an entire hour, the corpse was finally completely charred and no longer dangerous.
Wei Wu came over and took a look, then told Qin He and others not to guard the place anymore and to go out and help clean up the bodies.
After washing, rinsing, sewing and mending, half an hour passed.
The black and white curtain slowly descends, the sound of wooden clappers striking each other pierces the dim light, and shadow puppetry performs.
This is the body being completely cremated.
The deceased was named Hou Zhuang. His parents died early, so he had no discipline. He stole whatever he could, and begged for what he couldn't steal. Anyway, he lived by eating food from many families. Those years were better, so he didn't starve to death.
As Hou Zhuang grew older, his stealing skills improved greatly, so he stopped begging and became a habitual thief who specialized in stealing.
Slowly, the man reached middle age and his health was not as good as before. He was worried that he would starve to death when he was old and could not steal. He was also unwilling to see the skills he had practiced for half his life and suffered countless beatings lost, so he adopted a little beggar as his godson and named him Hou Xiaoliu.
Hey, remember this name, Hou Xiaoliu, the thief who was forced by Qin He to "meet and share half" a few days ago.
The world is so small, we met each other.
As for how Hou Zhuang was taken to the guillotine, we have to borrow an old saying.
As the saying goes, "Disaster may come from the sky while you are at home."
A few days ago, a manor outside the city of Zhongshan Palace was somehow robbed, and nearly a thousand stones of grain and hundreds of taels of gold and silver were stolen.
This matter became a big deal. The King of Zhongshan was hereditary. His ancestor was the founding general Xu Dahai. He had many relatives in the royal family and his family was prominent for generations.
The King of Zhongshan was furious and hit the Wucheng Bingmasi with a stick.
Speaking of the Five Cities Army, it is a big sucker. It can be blamed for any trouble in the capital, but there are a lot of royal relatives, princes and nobles at the foot of the imperial city, and it can't afford to offend anyone.
The Five Cities Military Commission investigated thoroughly, but what could they find?
If a thief could steal thousands of shi of grain in one night, could he be an ordinary person?
But you have to give an explanation to the King of Zhongshan. Let's talk about whether you can recover the gold, silver and grain first. You have to express your attitude first, at least pretend to be "trying hard", right?
Tang Jing'an, commander of the Five Cities Military Division, slapped his forehead.
Catch him!
Who to arrest?
Whoever is a thief will be arrested.
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. No one can escape the arrest of Hou Zhuang, the habitual thief.
So Hou Zhuang was sleeping at home when he was arrested and thrown into the prison cell of the East City Bingmasi without knowing what was going on.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to put the blame on Hou Zhuang for such an incident.
One thousand dan of grain, that must be a gang crime, they are not thieves at all, they are robbers.
The Prince of Zhongshan’s Palace is not stupid and will not be fooled so easily.
Hou Zhuang knew that he would not be released for long, and the Dongcheng Bingmasi were just pretending to do so and extorting some money, so he was not worried and slept soundly in the cell with his legs crossed.
But as the old saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. When it rains, it pours; when it ships are late, it encounters headwinds.
Hou Zhuang never dreamed that this man who was wrongly imprisoned would lose his life.
Late last night, a group of people came to the prison of the East City Bingmasi with a lot of noise.
Who?
Feiyuwei's factory is bad!
A bunch of killers!
With just a few moments, Hou Zhuang was transferred from the prison of the East City Bingmasi to the prison of the Feiyuwei.
where?
Imperial prison!
When Hou Zhuang saw this scene, he thought that his life was definitely over and he would most likely become a "death substitute".
When he arrived at the imperial prison, it turned out to be true. His tongue was cut off, his head was pressed down, and then shaved into a rat tail. He was then put in shackles and locked.
The next day he was taken to the execution ground, and with a single cut, his head fell to the ground.
It turns out that the person he replaced was a Dilu spy.
冤!
An injustice that will go down in history!
The judge weighed the facts, and the black-robed man said, "Life was ordinary, death was bizarre."
