Chapter 1396 General's Tomb
"Why are these tombstones narrow at the top and wide at the bottom?" Yao, Shun, and Yu also noticed something was wrong. According to tradition, tombstones are straight up and down, which means that the deceased had a smooth journey to death. The more he looked at these wooden signs, the more cautious he became.
The fat man got very close, trying to find some words on a relatively large wooden sign, but no one expected that he stepped on a piece of slippery turf, leaned forward uncontrollably, and fell down. On the tombstone, before Jiang Cheng and others could react, he pushed the wooden sign down and rode underneath him.
"Hey, you! Damn, damn, I'm sorry!
"
The fat man who fell to the ground was completely stunned when he saw this scene. He got up tremblingly and immediately bowed and apologized to the miserable wooden sign, although he didn't know who the owner of this wordless monument was.
But the next second, the eyes of Jiang Cheng and others suddenly changed. The fallen wooden sign was not broken, but the lower part buried deep in the soil was turned out, and this part... actually had words on it!
Because it had been buried for so long, most of the handwriting was unclear, but the few words in the middle were still barely legible: Guerrilla General Dai Mochong.
These words were also crossed out with a thick red brush.
"This...this is a general's tomb!"
Li Bai was surprised and said that the rank of a guerrilla general is not low. In all dynasties, he has been in the fourth rank to the fifth rank. From the Ming Dynasty, he was in the middle of the garrison army, under the general, and led the guerrillas to defend. He was considered a commander. He held the official position of a soldier, but such a person was buried here without anyone noticing. 【】
But that's not all. The bottom of this wooden sign was actually carved into the shape of an arrow, and it was also outlined with a red pen. Seeing this scene, combined with the red cross on the name, Li Bai He was deeply shocked in his heart and blurted out: "Yes...it's the death card!"
When Jiang Cheng saw the shape of this wooden sign, he also thought of this. It was so similar, so... so similar! When the fat man who caused all this happened saw the faces of everyone, he thought he had caused a big trouble and was about to die. Jiang Cheng explained: "The so-called death sign is the token thrown by the executioner in ancient executions. The token has a width of The lower part is narrow and in the shape of an arrow.”
"In ancient times, it was stipulated that the name of the prisoner and the main crime should be written on the handpiece so that people could see it clearly. This was also called Mingzhao. Later people improved it and inserted a wooden sign with the name of the prisoner and the crime on the prisoner's hand. Behind the back, when the sign is pulled out, it is when the head falls to the ground, which is also the origin of the three words "Desperate Sign".
"There is also a saying that when a person dies, if the blood splashed out can dye all the writing on the death card red, it proves that the person has suffered a huge injustice, and after he goes to the underworld, there will be justice for him. Eucalyptus.
Next, in order to verify their suspicions, several people in Jiangcheng pulled out several wooden signs nearby. Sure enough, there were names on them. Who would have thought that the people in the Hou Mansion were so vicious that it would be easy to use lightning-strike wood as tombstones. What's more, it was actually transformed into the form of a death card, which means that the person buried in it will never be reincarnated!
The guesses of Jiang Cheng and others gradually became reality. These wooden signs distributed in the grass were not randomly placed, but were ordered according to their status and rank. From the outside to the inside, the rank gradually increased. Correspondingly, The quality of lightning strike wood used in wooden signs, as well as the size and specifications, are also improving.
After thinking about this, the people in Jiangcheng no longer hesitated and walked directly towards the center. Sure enough, they pushed aside the layers of grass and found a very tall and magnificent tombstone in the center. There was almost a person tall and the body of the tombstone was It is thick and the whole body is made of jet black lightning wood. It is very rare and looks very majestic.
This tombstone had to be knocked down because Jiang Cheng had to determine whether the person's identity was the person he had in mind. But looking up to the sky, the originally sunny weather gradually turned cloudy at some point, and there were even a few dark clouds floating on the horizon. It looks like there will be a thunderstorm soon.
Perhaps because he was here and was greatly affected by environmental factors, Jiang Cheng was worried that he would suffer retribution after knocking down this tombstone, and he would be struck by thunder or something, so he turned to look at the fat man.
Soon, Li Bai also looked at the fat man, and finally Yao, Shun and Yu.
The fat man was looking up at the dark clouds when he suddenly found three people standing there, turning to look at him. He was a little panicked, "You... what are you looking at me doing?"
"It's nothing. Come on, do me a favor and push down this tombstone. We want to confirm whether the person buried here is that person." Jiang Cheng said calmly.
The fat man looked at the cloud and then at the monument. The cloud was almost floating above his head. "I know what you are afraid of. Are you afraid of being struck by thunder when you pull out someone's tombstone?" The fat man said unwillingly: "You guys Don’t be afraid if you’re afraid of me? Don’t do to others what you don’t want to do to yourself, understand?”
After everyone had been together for so long, Li Bai Yao and Shunyu also knew that this fat man was surprisingly lucky. It was simply luck. Yao and Shunyu even had an extremely strange idea in his mind. He even thought that it was nothing if the thunder crashed. Anyway, Wang Wealth can be avoided, as long as you stay away and don't hit yourself.
But seeing the troubled look in Jiang Cheng's eyes, the fat man still softened his heart. He knew that the doctor was an orphan and he didn't usually do good things. It would be fine if this thunder didn't come. If it did, he would most likely hit the doctor on the head.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm convinced." The fat man rolled up his arms and walked forward. Just as he was about to push down the tombstone, the next second, he seemed to suddenly realize something and immediately let go of his hand. He smiled at the tombstone with a simple expression and bowed politely a few times, "Hello, great man. I learned that you were wronged and waiting for justice. I couldn't sleep at night. I came here today to give you justice. Now... If there is any disrespect, please forgive me. Forgive me."
After waiting for a while, there was no movement. After saying so much, the fat man was embarrassed to push down the tombstone directly, so he changed his posture and hugged the tombstone, trying to pull it out with force.
Seeing this scene, Yao, Shun and Yu couldn't help but worry about him. The tombstone was inserted into the soil in the shape of an inverted arrow, and the tombstone was quite large. It would take a lot of strength to pull it out. Wang Fugui...

"Senior, I'm sorry!"
The fat man growled, and his muscles tensed up. For a moment, the clothes on his upper body were lifted up by his muscles. After a few seconds, he pulled the tombstone out of the ground.
As the tombstone was unearthed, the lower part was completely exposed to everyone's sight. Jiang Cheng and others took a deep breath, and their guess was finally confirmed. There were a few big words written at the bottom of the tombstone: Tomb of Guo Shaotang, the mighty general of the Zhenjun Army.
