"Let the ghosts speak, you can just chat in private, but don't burn paper and worship gods in the palace, disturbing the hearts of men!" Tang Yin waved his hands towards the Female Guard, signalling for them to leave.

Since the Feng King had spoken, no matter how scared they were, they would not dare to continue burning paper.

A few of them cupped their hands in greeting to Tang Yin. Just as they were about to leave, one of them suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked behind Tang Yin. His face was pale and his lips were trembling as he stammered, "Ghost ? Great King ? There's a ghost! "

When a normal person saw the Female Guard's shocked expression, their first reaction would definitely be to turn around and see what had happened behind them. However, Tang Yin was paranoid by nature, so he stood there without even moving.

Tang Yin was as steady as Mt. Tai, but Ah San did not have such self-control. The two of them turned around and looked behind them.

Hearing their cries of surprise, Tang Yin slowly turned around, narrowed his eyes and looked behind him, only to see that at a distance of 20 to 30 metres, there were a few balls of eerie and cold blue light floating in the air. The blue light was not gathered together, but was dispersed and floated in the air, swaying unsteadily.

"It's the Ghost Flame!" Ah San called out at the same time, while speaking, the two of them coincidentally stood in front of Tang Yin, protecting him tightly.

The few Female Guard s were so scared that their bodies were covered in cold sweat, they could not care less about Tang Yin, and involuntarily retreated.

In the eyes of Ah San and the other Female Guard s, that erratic and strange blue flame was a ghost flame, but Tang Yin knew that it was just a phosphorescent flame that had nothing to do with ghosts at all.

However, things like the Phosphorescence Flame shouldn't appear in the palace. It should be in the graveyard.

He impatiently pushed Ah San who was in front of him away, and muttered: "What are you two blocking me for, if it really is a ghost, how can you two block it?" As he spoke, he walked towards the balls of 'Ghost Fire' without any fear.

"My King, be careful!" Ah San was afraid that Tang Yin would be in danger if he went over and grabbed his arm.

"That is absolutely not a ghost. What are you two afraid of?!" Tang Yin flung Ah San off unhappily and continued to walk forward.

Very quickly, Tang Yin arrived at the front of the Ghostly Flame. Waving his sleeves, he dispersed the phosphorescence in the air, then looked around him. After looking for a long while, he lowered his head, rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

This was a large clearing, and there were quite a few weeds growing on the ground. Relatively speaking, the weeds here were much thicker than other places. Of course, this was nothing strange. After all, this was the secluded quarters of the palace, so it was normal for few people to come here to tidy it up.

Tang Yin looked around, and then kicked the ground hard, and then turned and shouted: "Ah San!"

"Mo..." This lowly general is here! " Ah San swallowed his saliva and walked up quickly. He could only hear the slight tremble in their voices.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes at the two of them, and said: "Call more people over, bring your tools and dig this place out for me!"

Ah San was startled, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, you mean ?. "Is there something fishy going on underground?"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, but he was not sure, and said: "Whether there is anything amiss, we will find out after we dig it out, go quickly!"

"Yes sir!" Ah San answered and quickly ran back.

At this time, the few Female Guard s had already calmed down, they walked up to the ghost flames and did not even think about what to do, since even if there were ghosts, they would not be evil spirits, or perhaps it could even be said that they were evil spirits, but they were completely intimidated by the Feng King's imposing aura.

A few Female Guard s carefully moved closer and timidly looked at Tang Yin and asked: "Feng King, this ? What exactly is going on? "

Tang Yin smiled lightly and said: "We'll know what exactly happened later."

Not long after Ah San left, he called over hundreds of Guard of Feng Army s. The two people leading the group were the two commanders of the newly appointed Guard Camp, Su Wan and Ceng Die.

The two of them were female generals, brought up by Levy of Soldiers. Since the Guard Camp was meant to be used specifically to protect Tang Yin's safety and to stay in the Duke Palaces, and there were too many women in the Duke Palaces, it would be more convenient to use a female general as a commander.

Upon seeing Tang Yin, Su Wan and Ceng Die both bowed and asked, "May I ask what your majesty has ordered?"

Tang Yin indicated for the two of them to get up, at the same time, he pointed to the ground and said: "Let the brothers dig this place up, see what is buried here." Actually, even without looking, Tang Yin could already guess the general idea.

Su Wan and Ceng Die did not dare to ask further. They followed Tang Yin's orders and ordered the guards to dig up all the grass in this area.

The guards were all baffled. They did not understand why the King would suddenly dig this place up. Could it be that there was a treasure of the Mo Country buried here?

The military order was like a mountain. Since the King had given the order, they could only follow it. The guards took off their armor, rolled up their sleeves, picked up shovels and pickaxes, and started digging. Hundreds of guards attacked at the same time, their speed wasn't slow. Not long after, a one meter deep hole was dug in the ground. However, they had already dug more than a meter deep, yet they couldn't find anything below. Let alone a treasure, they couldn't even find a single piece of broken copper tile. The guards secretly grinned. As they wiped off their sweat, they looked at their superior, Su Wan and Ceng Die.1

Su Wan and Ceng Die understood the hardships of their brothers. The two of them looked at each other, then walked over to Tang Yin and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we've already dug half a meter deep, do you still want to continue digging?"

"Dig!" Of course we have to continue digging! " Tang Yin said without even looking at them.

Su, Zeng, and the others were left with no choice but to order their guards to continue digging.

When they were almost two meters away from digging, the guards in the pit suddenly cried out. Soon after, more than a dozen people frantically crawled out of the pit, went outside and kneeled on the ground, and started vomiting.

The faces of the people standing outside the hole changed. They did not know what was going on inside, so they quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

One of the guards stammered, "Go back..." General, there is... There are bodies, so many... "So many corpses ?"

"Huh?" Su Wan and Ceng Die were shocked. The two of them squatted in front of the pit entrance and probed the pit with the torch in their hands at the same time. Looking carefully, they could see that there were rotten, black remains in the pit bottom.

It was hard to tell the exact number of skulls, but judging from the number of skulls dug out, there should be at least seven or eight skulls inside.

How could there be so many corpses buried in such an important place of the royal palace? Who did this? Su Wan and Ceng Die quickly stood up and looked at each other. The latter took out a handkerchief and tied it to her face, then bravely jumped into the hole to check, while Su Wan went to report it to Tang Yin.

When Tang Yin heard that there was a large amount of bones dug out from the pit, he did not feel surprised at all. Phosphorescence, this kind of thing could not appear for no reason. What was strange was the identity of the people buried beneath the palace. He looked up at Su Wan and said, "Keep digging! Dig out all the corpses, find out their identities, and how they died. "

"Yes!" "Great King!" Su Wan summoned her courage and answered. Then, she walked back to the edge of the pit and ordered the guards to continue digging.

They caused such a huge commotion, and very quickly, the rest of the people in the palace heard of it, and rushed over, including Ling Shuang who had just fallen asleep.

Surrounded by a group of maids, Ling Shuang walked to Tang Yin's side sleepily and asked unclearly, "Royal Brother, you haven't slept at night, what are you doing here?"

Before she could finish, she saw the guards outside the pit tugging at the rope with all their might. After pulling it up, she looked at the other end and saw that it was tied to a body that was badly damaged and covered in holes.

Ling Shuang had never seen this before in her life and was so scared that her face had turned pale white. She subconsciously grabbed onto Tang Yin's arm, his originally big and round eyes now opened even wider and round.

Tang Yin looked at her helplessly. Originally, he did not plan to let Ling Shuang see these things, but she insisted on coming to watch.

He raised his hand, caressed Ling Shuang's eyes and said gently: "Don't be afraid, we are just unintentionally finding a few corpses buried in the palace."

How could Ling Shuang not be afraid? Where she ate and slept, there were actually corpses buried underground. She allowed Tang Yin's large hand to cover her eyes as she asked with a trembling voice, "This ? This was made by the Royal Brother? "

Her first reaction was, had Tang Yin already killed all of Shao Fang's orphans and buried them in the palace? Hearing that, Tang Yin squinted his eyes, and retorted: "Am I that unbearable in Sister Wang's heart?"

His side had only occupied the King Mo Palace for a few days, in such a short period of time, it was impossible for their corpses to rot so badly. Furthermore, if it was really Tang Yin's doing, how could he dig out the corpses with all his might?

"I'm sorry, Royal Brother. Ling Shuang changed the subject and asked: "Who exactly are they?"

Tang Yin also did not mind Ling Shuang's unreasonable criticism. He smiled and shook his head, then said: "I also want to find out who they are."

As time passed, the sky had turned white. There were more than 200 corpses lying on the ground. There were big and small ones, both male and female.

Now that there was no coroner (coroner) in Feng Army, they could only find the coroner's corpse within the Zhenjiang City to examine it. Because the corpse had been buried for too long, it had already become seriously rotten, and the pants and clothing were difficult to identify, and there was no identification mark on the body, so even a coroner could not confirm their identity. Some had died from external injuries, some had been poisoned, and some had been buried alive.
