NOVEL WEB Chapter 601 Guilty
When Lu Chaochao looked over, the young man looked up at the sky, not daring to look at her.
Master Xu stood up tremblingly: "Investigate, investigate for me! Who is it that dug up the ancestral tomb of my Xu family? If I find out, I will make him live a life worse than death!"
Xu Shiyun lowered her head to wipe her tears, and hurriedly followed several sisters-in-law to collect the bones of the ancestor.
"All the burial objects are gone."
"Fortunately, the bones were not moved." The sisters-in-law sighed.
Lu Chaochao silently hid the gold tooth in the space and dared not take it out again.
"By the way, Chaochao, what did you say to show your grandfather?" Master Xu remembered what Chaochao had said just now, staring at the mausoleum, and asked Lu Chaochao.
Lu Chaochao's little face was a little panicked. If Master Xu turned around at this moment, he could see the guilty expression of his granddaughter.
"Ah? Oh, Chaochao was not brought out. Send someone to send it to the mansion later..."
The old master nodded with a gloomy face.
"What a shameless person! He dared to steal the burial objects. I want to see where they came from."
Tian Dao asked calmly: "It has been taken away. Can we still find it?"
Xu Shiyun supported the old lady who fainted from crying: "The burial objects are all marked by various prefectures. Since the other party dared to steal them, they must be short of money. Once they use them, they will find the traces."
Tian Dao? ? ?
There was a bit of confusion on his calm face.
He paused, pulled Chao Chao to stand in the corner, and the young man asked cautiously: "You won't let me touch the things of the living."
"Can't you touch the dead?"
"There is a saying in the mortal world that when a person dies, the light goes out, and the soul returns to the underworld. The burial objects are ownerless. Can't we take them?"
Lu Chao Chao looked at him dumbfounded. Let's just say that I am not a good person either.
When I raised disciples, I also dug graves when I was poor.
But you can't dig my house! !
"Well, mortals take ancestral graves very seriously. Digging up someone's ancestral grave is like killing one's parents. Probably... it's a fight to the death."
After these words came out, the boy's eyes, which were always calm, widened.
With trembling lips, he looked at Xu Shiyun and the Xu family...
As if he had been hit hard.
A fight to the death? ? ? It's over, I lost more than I gained!
It was late at night, the whole Changshou Garden was brightly lit, and cursing sounds came from all directions.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves approached.
"What's going on? Are there troops coming?" Just as Master Xu was about to send someone to inquire about the news, he heard a commotion from the outside.
The Xu family's ancestral grave was at the innermost part, and they were quite anxious at the moment.
Soon, a servant ran and shouted: "The imperial mausoleum next door was robbed, His Majesty left the capital late at night, sirs, please go to the imperial mausoleum quickly!"
"The imperial mausoleum was robbed, His Majesty left the palace late at night, please go to the imperial mausoleum quickly."
Teacher Xu was so shocked that his face turned pale, and he immediately said: "Yun Niang, you will collect the bones of the ancestor for the time being. Wait for a new auspicious day to bury it again." After that, the old master took his sons to the imperial mausoleum.
Lu Yanshu and Lu Yuanxiao also went to the imperial mausoleum.
Lu Chaochao stood at the end, she looked at the boy with horror: "You also stole from the imperial mausoleum?"
The boy looked up at the sky: "There is the most money there..."
Lu Chaochao almost cried.
"Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, we have to steal... far away. Forget it, you have no experience, it's not your fault..." Lu Chaochao immediately followed behind everyone.
Changshou Garden was originally on the edge of the imperial mausoleum, not far away, and it took only one stick of incense to reach the outside of the imperial mausoleum.
The exterior of the Changshou Garden mausoleum was damaged, but at least something could be seen.
But the imperial mausoleum, from the outside, did not look unusual at all.
Emperor Xuanping's eyes were red, and the emperor was shaking all over. He said calmly: "Open the imperial mausoleum and check it out quickly."
Everyone looked at each other, how did His Majesty know that the imperial mausoleum was robbed?
But what was horrifying was that the mausoleum keeper came back crying and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, the imperial mausoleum was really robbed! All the gold bricks, silver and stones inside were stolen!"
The emperor knelt down in the imperial mausoleum with a plop.
"It is my fault for disturbing all the ancestors..." The emperor took a deep breath!
The ministers guarding the mausoleum were already sweating and collapsed on the ground: "Your Majesty, I stayed at the imperial mausoleum all night and didn't hear any movement..."
"And the exterior of the imperial mausoleum is intact, and there is no sign of being excavated. Your Majesty, please spare my life." The mausoleum keeper was very aggrieved, this was a serious crime that would punish the entire family.
If the emperor hadn't suddenly brought people to the imperial mausoleum, he wouldn't even know that the bottom of the imperial mausoleum had been hollowed out.
Emperor Xuanping was not a cruel and murderous emperor. Although he was angry at the moment, he didn't vent his anger on his ministers.
"Forget it, get up. It has nothing to do with you." The emperor pressed his eyebrows.
Master Xu couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, how did you know that the imperial mausoleum was robbed?"
The Xu family discovered that the ancestral tomb was robbed because the thief robbed too hard and the ancestral tomb collapsed.
But the appearance of the imperial mausoleum was normal.
Emperor Xuanping pursed his lips: "Just now I took a short rest, and the ancestor emperor came to me in a dream and asked me to burn some clothes for him."
Master Xu was stunned: "Burn... burn some clothes?"
Lu Yanshu next to him said lightly: "I remember that the ancestor emperor was buried in a golden jade suit. He held a jade cicada in his mouth... and wore jade boots on his feet."
The courtiers looked at the imperial mausoleum in astonishment.
No way? ?
Even Lu Chaochao couldn't help shrinking his head. She really liked that golden jade dress...
The jade cicada in her pocket was thrown into space instantly, and she dared not take it out again.
Emperor Xuanping's blood rushed to his head, and he almost fainted.
"Open the Emperor's Mausoleum!"
Everyone knelt on the ground: "I have disturbed the rest of our ancestors, and I deserve death."
As the imperial mausoleum was opened, the expressions on everyone's faces broke.
"In the past, were the inner walls painted with gold powder, and would they glow under the reflection of the night pearls?" a minister asked.
Now...
The night pearls on the wall are gone, and the wall surface painted with gold powder has been scraped off a layer.
It looks very desolate.
Emperor Xuanping's heart trembled, and he walked down the steps step by step into the interior of the imperial mausoleum.
The imperial mausoleum, which was originally full of burial objects, is now empty.
It took several people to push open the sarcophagus, and Emperor Xuanping took a closer look...
Sure enough...
The crown inlaid with gold and gems on the ancestor's head is gone.
The golden jade clothes on his body are gone.
The jade boots on his feet are gone.
"No wonder the ancestor is cold, let your majesty burn a few clothes and go..." I'm afraid he will run naked in the underworld!
Bei Zhao is popular with lavish burials, and the noble families and the royal family are the best among them.
Funerals have even formed a trend of comparison.
This time, it's a wake-up call.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully. The little thief was so bold that he stole the burial objects from the imperial mausoleum. He must be arrested and his entire clan must be executed! To serve as a warning to others!" A court official knelt down and asked His Majesty to investigate thoroughly.
Soon, all the old officials who were robbed knelt on the ground.
Emperor Xuanping, however, had a gloomy expression.
"There is nothing unusual outside the imperial mausoleum. The one who can take the burial objects from the inside must not be an ordinary person."
When the ancestor came to him in a dream, he could not hide his fear in his eyes.
Although he did not know who took the burial objects, the remaining pressure in the imperial mausoleum frightened him.
Emperor Xuanping thought in his heart that there was a big monster!
It can't be a thief, right? (End of this chapter)
