C22 Third Person

"It's the Qing Dynasty. What's wrong?" Wang Xinran asked casually.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran and did not immediately respond.

Wang Xinran keenly sensed something. "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"What can be hidden from you?" Wu Zhongyuan answered with questions. According to Wang Xinran's words, it was not difficult to find out. The officials did not seem to know that he did not belong to this world. To be precise, he did not belong to this time and space. This also indirectly indicated that the official news did not come from Dean Wang, at least not directly from him.

Wang Xinran threw the fruit core into the rubbish bin on the side of the road and took her phone back from Wu Zhongyuan. "There is nothing that can be hidden from us. We will definitely find out what we want to investigate. It is just a matter of time."

"Why do you think I am interested in this male corpse?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Your genes are similar, and your tattoos are all at the same place. This means that you have some kind of connection with this corpse. " Wang Xinran rushed towards the bench not far away, "We know that you are an orphan adopted by the old Daoist priest. Don't you want to know your own background?"

" What is this person's name? What kind of official is he? " Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran sat down on her long chair and opened the bag. She picked up some fruits and said, "This person's grave is preserved very well. There is a grave inscription in the grave. This person's name is Wu Qianshan. He is the chief soldier during the years of governance."

"Wu?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned slightly and asked, "How did you guys find him?"

"A construction unit in the county accidentally dug it up. "The reason his body was preserved was because he used a large amount of charcoal to moisturize and prevent moisture during the burial. The entire coffin was filled with white ash."

Wu Zhongyuan did not respond. This Wu Qianshan had a bear tattoo on his body. The extra one was 20% similar to one of his colloids, which meant that this person came from the Yellow Emperor clan. But there was one thing that didn't make sense, and that was that the era wasn't right. It hadn't been more than 300 years since the Shunzhi Period. Even if Wu Qianshan's dyeing abnormalities were a coincidence under normal circumstances, how could the tattoo on his chest explain it?

"Is there an autopsy report?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Of course I do, but I don't have one." Wang Xinran said.

"Do you have a picture of the epitaph?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The epitaph was a very common thing in ancient tombs. It recorded the origins and life of the tomb owner.

Wang Xinran handed the phone over. "One, four, seven, two and fifty-eight."

Wu Zhongyuan did not expect Wang Xinran to tell him the password of his phone. He looked at Wang Xinran in surprise and took the phone.

"Turn back. There are two more." Wang Xinran grabbed the date in her hand.

The second one was the epitaph. Those who studied archaeology would definitely learn ancient language. Moreover, the Mandarin of the Qing Dynasty was not much different from the modern Mandarin. There were no obstructions to reading.

The gravestones were all written by their descendants after the death of the tomb owner. Most of them were words of praise. As they were rank two officials, the number of words on the tomahawk was greater. They were brave and good at fighting. They took the heads of the enemies in the chaotic army. Words like loyalty to the king to the country, and being a role model for the people of the world took up a lot of space. Wu Zhongyuan briefly read through it, and his heart became more and more puzzled.

This inscription only recorded the specific time of Wu Qianshan's death and did not mention when he was born. This did not make sense because the age of birth and death must be reflected in the inscription. This was the fixed format of the inscription, and it did not mention anything about it. There was only one reason, and that was that no one knew the age of this person's birth.

Also, this person's epitaph did not mention his parents, either. This was not normal, his son had become such a big official... The Imperial Court would usually give his parents an honor or an honor. This was the glory that his son had earned for his parents. Usually, it would also be engraved on the gravestone, but not on it.

In addition, this person did not have a wife or a concubine, nor did he have any children. He had only adopted a foster son in his later years. This did not make sense at all. In the Qing Dynasty, a Rank Two could not be considered a feudal official. However, he could be considered a high ranking official. Three wives and four concubines were very common. This person actually did not ask for a wife.

The most suspicious thing was that this person had been an official for 20 years, and had actually been an official in this province. He had never taken up a position in the distance. This was simply too abnormal. Military officers were leading troops. In order to prevent them from raising their direct line of descent, the Emperor would change their location every once in a while. Not letting them stay in one place for too long, not moving for twenty years... Not right, very wrong.

"This person must have something to do with you. Come with me to the headquarters during the holidays. There is more detailed information there," Wang Xinran took the opportunity to persuade, "We are very sincere. The higher-ups sent me to protect you. It is also to not affect your normal life."

" Where is your headquarters? " Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I really can't tell you that." Wang Xinran shook her head repeatedly. "But you don't have to be afraid. That place isn't a laboratory. It won't dissect you like a lab rat."

Wang Xinran's words really touched Wu Zhongyuan's heart. He indeed had this concern.

"Let me think about it." Wu Zhongyuan did not finish his words. After he finished speaking, he flipped to the third page. This picture was taken of Wu Qianshan's clothes and buried items when he was buried. The official uniform of a rank two military official was embroidered with a lion. There was also the saber and the Imperial Pearl, as well as the official seal. The official seal was naturally an imitation. This was because the official seal had to be left to the successor. Apart from that, there was also a pile of jade, gold, silver, and some wooden bottles. When taking pictures, there were small cards beside each item. After the serial number and explanation, one of the jars was filled with rotten almonds. And inside the box was a kind of pill called Jindan Pill.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's strange expression, Wang Xinran tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. Because he was worried about his own safety, he rarely went out of the school. He would read in the dormitory when he was free. He read most of the medical knowledge left behind by his master. Almond was a very common medicine. It had the effect of stopping cough and phlegm, and Jindan was a kind of medicine that was still in use. Attending physician, asthma.

Wang Xinran naturally saw what Wu Zhongyuan was hiding. She snorted in dissatisfaction and reached out to ask for the phone, "Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"

Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to return the phone to Wang Xinran, but he suddenly discovered something. He hurriedly retracted his hand and looked again. When Wu Qianshan was still alive, he seemed to like jade very much. He had collected a lot of jade tools, including some that had not been polished. Among the few pieces of jade, Wu Zhongyuan found something familiar. It was a white jade. Its color and shape were very similar to the one he had taken from the coffin where the strange skeleton was.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Xinran grabbed the phone and looked down, but without Wu Zhongyuan's reminder, she could not see anything unusual about these burial items.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer. He leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed his face. This matter was strange and strange. He could not figure it out for a moment and needed to slowly sort it out.

Thinking about it carefully, there were five clues. One, Wu Qianshan's dyeing body was abnormal. There was a bear tattoo on his chest. Second, this person's origin was unknown, and he didn't have parents, wives, or children. Thirdly, this person had asthma, and needed medicine. Fourthly, this person had lived for at least 20 years in the Qing Dynasty, but had never left Yellow County. Fifth, this person also had a white jade item on him.

As there were ample clues, it was not difficult to deduce the truth. This person most likely came from the same period as him. The reason why he did not die was because the air during the Shunzhi period was not so bad that he could not withstand it.

This person had never left the Yellow County, and it was very likely that he was searching for him.

If this assumption was true, this person would have two possibilities in finding him. The first possibility was to protect him. 20% similarity between genes. This meant that this person was a member of his father's clan and had a reason to protect him. The second possibility was to kill him. His parents came from two different tribes. His birth would bring shame to both tribes, and the people of both tribes had the motive to kill him.

This person's identity and motive could be put aside for now. The biggest doubt about this matter was that this person came from the ancient era to the Shunzhi Period. Was it intentional or not?

If it was unintentional, then this person might very well have encountered a wormhole with him and that birdman by chance. The three of them disappeared together, but they appeared in the same place from different eras.

If it was intentional, then it would be shocking. It meant that there was someone who could control and affect time and space in the ancient era. They had been sent here twice with a purpose, but this person had not yet been able to completely control them. There was a certain degree of error.

"Hey, do you want to eat it? Wang Yao asked. If you don't eat it, I will eat it." Wang Xinran stretched out her hand and held a few jubes in her palm.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head and looked at Wang Xinran.

"Why are you looking at me?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan did not say anything. He just stared at her. Things were too complicated. He needed help.

"Are you going to eat it or not?" Wang Xinran urged again.

"If I go with you to the headquarters, will you still let me out..."
