Chapter 28 The Intruder

If the two empty coffins were prepared for him and Zhu Yingtai, then at least it would prove that Yingtai was still alive!

Infinite hopes suddenly surged in my heart, and even my strength seemed to be much stronger than before.Liang Shanbai was in Zhu's residence, tirelessly looking for the location of Zhu Yingtai.There was no coffin in the front hall for a long time, and the once clear pond had long been filled with silt. After searching for it, I walked back to Zhu's guest room without knowing it.

The familiar place is no different from the day before!

Liang Shanbai was stunned, but the surging joy filled his chest!No, only here is different!No sign of decay, no accumulation of dust, clean and tidy, someone has been here before!

Quickly pass through the moon gate, and the familiar house is in front of you.The carved door leaf is ajar, and the dark fragrance is so obvious in the sunlight.Liang Shanbai pushed open the door: "Yingtai!" he shouted.The room was silent and no one was there, but the familiar interior furnishings reminded him that the day and two nights spent in Zhu's Mansion were definitely not a dream.

That's... Qing county annals?

Liang Shanbai walked quickly to the desk. There was a piece of paper sandwiched between the old books spread out on the desk. With messy handwriting, he wrote a word in a hurry: "Let's go!" It seemed to indicate that Zhu Yingtai had come back.

Liang Shanbai's heart sank heavily, something happened to him at Yingtai!Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, connecting everything he knew so far, Liang Shanbai recalled what the book delivery boy said, and he didn't think it at that time, but now that he thinks about it, it has obvious meaning.

Be it the few bones of the dead, or the big house in the Zhu Mansion, each of them has indelible traces of time.And judging from those bones, if the owner was indeed killed before his death, ten bones alone would be enough to constitute a shocking case, then there must be records in the county annals.

Liang Shanbai quickly turned the pages of the book, looking at ten lines at a glance.At the beginning, there were only some general records of geography, customs, and previous officials, and they were nothing more than talking about outstanding people, but on a certain page, the words "Zhufu" appeared.

Liang Shanbai's eyes lit up, and he read those few lines carefully.

"In the 11th year of the Republic of China (Jenxu year), from the seventh day to the ninth day of June, the county experienced heavy rain for three consecutive days..."

Liang Shanbai couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and subconsciously looked for his mobile phone in the house.Sure enough, the mobile phone was still inside the pillow of the carved bed in his memory. He turned to the column of the calendar, and saw a row of the lunar calendar displayed under the Gregorian calendar, which was exactly the ninth day of June.If it is a coincidence, this is too surprising!

Liang Shanbai took a deep breath and continued to look down.

"On the tenth day of June, the villager Zhu Ergou reported the bloody case in Zhu's mansion. According to the investigation, 73 members of Zhu's family members and servants were killed on the ninth night of June. Only Zhu's only son, Yingtai, absconded, suspected of being a criminal... ..."

Afterwards, they were all excuses for the government, saying that this case was rare since the founding of the country. The police station tried their best to hunt it down, and issued official documents for the arrest at sea. Zhu Yingtai has still not been arrested.

"I wish the only son of the family to abscond from Yingtai..."

Liang Shanbai read that line over and over again, and his chaotic thoughts finally connected into one line, so it turned out that another [Zhu Yingtai] was found!

Suddenly there was the sound of walking in his ears, and Liang Shanbai stood up abruptly.

"The theater?"

The sound outside the door stopped, and after a while, a voice sounded cautiously.

"Liang Shanbai, is that your kid?"

Liang Shanbai was taken aback for a moment, then hurried out the door.

"Why are you here, kid?!" Liang Shanbai punched the outsider with his fist.

In any case, Liang Shanbai would never have imagined that his next-door neighbor Shi Jiu would appear in the Zhu Mansion, which is almost empty except for him and Axipo!
