Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 451 The source of the corpse
After a long silence, Xue Lince suddenly stood up slowly, walked slowly to the window, and cast his gaze into the distance.

His back was in the warm orange candlelight, but his face was in the cold and snowy moonlight.

With his hands behind his back, he took off his majestic official uniform, only wearing a grass-white gown, a black belt around his waist, and a simple jade pendant hanging down. Two strands hang down.

The cold light fell on his shoulders, showing a seriousness and exhaustion rarely seen in the past, when the night wind blows, the hair on his forehead gently brushes his cheeks, he is like a green bamboo standing against the wind.

Ke Ran didn't care about that much, and said bluntly: "What's wrong? You guessed a thing or two."

Xue Lince turned around, his face still full of indifference, "I did come up with a place."

"Don't be a fool," Ke Ran has always been impatient, and urged, "What the hell is it? Tell us quickly."

"Think about it," Xue Lince walked back confidently, and raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table, "Since it is impossible for these monks to show their faces, but they must get fresh corpses in time, of course it is best to get them all at once. How can there be many bones and no one has found them?"

He chose a seat at random and sat down, patiently using the tea lid to skim off the froth on the tea juice.

Ke Ran and Chai Jin looked at each other, unable to figure out why.

"I know!" Tang Luoyu suddenly slapped the table excitedly, his eyes lit up a lot, "Cemeteries and mass graves!"

Ke Chai and the two were startled, and Qi Qi turned to look at her.

"Smart," Xue Lince smiled knowingly, "There are many corpses in cemeteries and mass graves, and there are few people going there in the middle of the night, just as the gang of demon monks wished, and there is no need to show your face or travel frequently in Yuedong and the capital to collect the corpses without worrying about being bumped into."

Ke Ran crossed her hands in front of her chest, "It's really hateful and cunning."

"However," Tang Luoyu was in trouble again, "How can we catch him and reveal himself?"

Xue Lince flicked the tea foam for a moment, but did not speak. Chai Jin pinched his chin and thought for a while, "It seems that we have to wait and see."

"But didn't he just make a new pot of incense?" Ke Ran was a little puzzled, "He hasn't been able to do anything these days, right?"

"No." Xue Lince stood up, and handed Tang Luoyu the tea that had been cleaned of foam and blown cold. I have to go to collect it at night."

"That makes sense," Ke Ran nodded, but soon her eyes were covered with new doubts again, "This cemetery and mass grave are one in the north and the other in the south. How can we determine where he will do it next time?"

"Besides," Tang Luoyu took a sip of tea, and then asked, "We have to wait until he enters the temple to make incense before arresting him, otherwise the demon monk's slick tongue said that he was helping the burial and throwing it away in the temple. The beggar's corpse on the side of the road is also hard to tell, and he added a point of merit to himself out of thin air."

Xue Lince nodded, "The burials in the cemetery are all family members, and there must be people who often worship them. These demon monks probably haven't had the guts to move the corpses over there. The next time, it will be in the mass graves in the south. We just need to wait and see before we can chase all the way to Yuelao Temple and capture him back."

"I can keep Ke Ran on guard," Chai Jin took over the task naturally, "If there is any trouble, I will notify you at any time."

Xue Tang and his wife agreed, and the plan to arrest the cassock monk took shape.

The next evening arrived in no time, Chai Jin and Ke Ran headed to the mass grave in the south after dinner.

It was the time to light the lamps, and the streets and alleys were full of dots of fire, which was very moving, but the direction of the two of them ran counter to the bustling and bustling, all the way to the deep and remote mass grave.

This is a low mountain stream, few people pass by, there are waist-high weeds everywhere, towering trees that block out the sky when you look up, you can't see even the slightest light of day, and there are crows "wow" around There was a miserable cry, and wild cats and dogs ran past him from time to time.

Although Ke Ran was used to seeing corpses, but this was the first time he went to the mass grave in the middle of the night, and his heart was so frightened that he was thumping, as if he was going to jump out of his chest.

In order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed, the two of them couldn't even light a fire, so they had to move forward in darkness. After adapting to the darkness, Ke Ran could finally see some shadows of trees and grass leaves, but in this way, the grass and trees were like soldiers. Like a ghost.

Chai Jin walked steadily and quickly, as if he could pierce the night without any hindrance. Ke Ran began to wonder if those demon monks really had the guts to come to this place in the middle of the night to steal the corpse.

"Wait for me..."

Somewhat aggrieved, he followed Chai Jin's striding strides, and hurriedly grabbed one of his sleeves.

"Aren't you a doctor? You should be used to seeing corpses. Are you so afraid?"

Chai Jin scratched the back of his head inexplicably.

"Of course I'm scared!" Ke Ran was a little annoyed, "I've never stolen a corpse before."

When the two were talking, suddenly a crow fell from the branch above his head and called "Wow!" Shut his mouth, I'm afraid the screams will resound through the sky.

"Crows eat carrion. We saw it, which means we are close." Chai Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and took Ke Ran's hand. "Follow me. If there is any accident, you can follow the path we just had. Go back and inform Brother Xue and Luo Yu."

Ke Ran was almost scared out of her wits by the two chirping of the bird just now, so she just nodded in agreement.

Chai Jin took his hand, while he pulled the clothes behind Chai Jin, and the two continued to walk towards the graveyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the waist-high grass became more and more dense, and the crows crowed more and more , and began to hover and spin above the heads of the two of them.

After walking for a while, the two finally saw some faint light in front of them.

How could there be fire in the mass grave?Could it be that the demon monks have already arrived?

Ke Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to call Chai Jin, but the other party suddenly grabbed his hand, put his head on his head, and asked him to squat down.

The two of them squatted in the dense grass and looked at the front closely. The faint light became more and more obvious, and it turned out to be a strange blue.

"Ghost fire?"

Ke Ran's heart tightened again, but fortunately he was a doctor, knowing that this was a common fire in mass graves, he quickly calmed down a bit.

"Hush," Chai Jin made a silent gesture to him, "Hush, they are here."

Ke Ran was about to ask him how he knew, but suddenly heard a sound of wheels crushing stones in the distance.
