Chapter 1092: Ancestral Tomb

Outside the government hall, Zhang Yang looked at the three coffins before him. He wasn't afraid of the long-dead bodies; he just felt something was off and stiffened his neck to look back.

Eunuch Liu had been standing by the door. He cleared his throat, "Fifth Prince, the Emperor is still waiting inside the hall. Please open the coffins."

Zhang Yang turned back, his face darkening. His father's actions didn't denote trust but fear of danger. He was being put forward as a scapegoat. Just because he hadn't been raised by his father's side since childhood, he stepped back and pursed his lips, "Open the coffins."

The guards, who had been standing by, took the tools to pry open the coffins. As the coffins were opened, a stench of decay spread out.

Zhang Yang covered his nose and mouth, waited a while to see that the guards were alright, then gestured for someone to go forward and check.
