The house that Chen Xiaoyu helped us find, although it is not as spacious as the hunting village, but it is also the main guest kitchen hall and other readily available, the house is elegantly furnished and unconventional, the key is that it is close to the office where the work is done, and the rent is still in the affordable range, after all, this trip to Luoyang is also for business business, and after dealing with the trivial matters, I have to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to return to the imperial court, so after seeing this house, I almost didn't hesitate to decide to live here temporarily.

As soon as I arrived in the living room, I heard Chen Xiaoyu being gushing about his bitterness to Jue, and his words were all about expressing strong dissatisfaction with the bad consequences caused by what I had done in Luoyang in the past few days, I listened at the door, and I also felt aggrieved for Chen Xiaoyu, there was no way, her current position is just sandwiched between me and the four major families of Luoyang, no matter which way the elbow turns, There is really a feeling that it is not human inside and out......

"Okay, okay, knowing that you have been wronged, you have come to my side to sue me for the crime, even if you want to condemn me, shouldn't you allow me, the 'main culprit', to make a statement or two first!"

Ah Zheng walked in with me, and I took off the beam crown and handed it to Ah Zheng as I spoke, because all the people present were my own family, so I had no other scruples.

"Oh, our Gao Yushi is back! Gao Yushi has recently been sentenced to prison, and he is in the limelight, how dare I convict you as a small citizen?"

Seeing me coming to the hall, Chen Xiaoyu didn't feel nervous and embarrassed at all when she was caught by the person concerned, because she was already upright and dignified in front of the party, so why be afraid?

"Are you mad at me?!"

I asked with a smile, and made fun of Chen Xiaoyu's careful eyes by the way, I only touched the Liu family slightly, she reacted so much, if I make a big deal on a whim, she will not have to come over and fight with me?

After taking off the beam crown, I thought about having to change out of this official uniform, and now that I was home, I still planned to change into my regular clothes to be more comfortable.

"Hey, you've just come back with a cold body, so bake the fire first, and then change to your regular clothes after getting rid of the cold. ”

As soon as he saw my movements, he knew what I wanted to do, and hurriedly reminded me so that I wouldn't catch the cold.

"Oh, good. ”

I nodded instructively, and obediently ran to the brazier to roast the fire to ward off the cold.

Chen Xiaoyu was stunned when he saw me so obedient, this time he knew what it meant to drop one thing to another, and it was really the wisest decision to come and complain to the Lord.

"Don't have to go out on business today?"

Seeing that I wanted to change out of my official uniform as soon as I came back, it was not like doing it on a daily basis, just because I was busy with this business from morning to night, where did I see such leisure, so I asked.

I pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"I don't think so, after all, I'm busy with business, and I have to spend more time with my family in my free time. ”

It seems to be sincere, but Chen Xiaoyu doesn't eat this, he looks clear, the corners of his mouth are unconsciously raised, and he said with a smug smile:

"As soon as I came back, I wanted to change my official uniform, isn't it that the wine at the newly appointed Luozhou Pastoral Wine Banquet is particularly mellow? I have heard that this Luozhou Pastoral Mansion not only collects sweet and mellow wine, but even the Kabuki Miaoman dance in the mansion is very cute, and it is rare to match it among the boathouse flowers!"

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but cough twice as if I was a thief, Chen Xiaoyu is really a person who is well versed in the doorways between officialdom banquets and drinks, and nothing can escape such a thing as wine-colored wealth!

"Oh, I see. ”

No wonder there is no need to be busy with business today, it turns out that the officials in charge should have attended this banquet, so naturally they have free time......

Jue smiled, but what he showed was a smile like a spring breeze that he hadn't seen for a long time.

I couldn't help but shudder, smiled wryly and waved my hand, explaining:

"The wine is indeed extraordinarily mellow, and you also know that I am a good wine, so when I was in a hurry, I spilled the wine, and the official clothes were wet, so I had to thank the Luozhou Mu for his kindness and rushed back to change his clothes. ”

actually used such a cliché method to shirk the wine banquet, Chen Xiaoyu was a little surprised.

I was slightly relieved to see the chill of the smile on her face gradually ease.

Although this method of avoiding the wine banquet is a bit cliché, it is safer to drink alcohol than to stain yourself with other women's fat powder!

Jue gave me a meaningful look, and then commanded Xiangzheng:

"Ah Zheng, prepare your son-in-law's regular clothes for change. ”

Hearing Jue's instructions, Ah Zheng nodded respectfully and said yes, and then retreated to prepare clothes.

I couldn't help but smile slightly at the gaze of Jue, and said:

"Speaking of which, do you remember that when we entered Luoyang, didn't we happen to meet Luo Heng who led the troops to exterminate the Liukou at the foot of the mountain, because he arrived in time, which saved the lives of dozens of innocent people in the hands of the Liukou. ”

In the end, the situation of war and chaos has just stabilized, and some deserters or outlaws have gone into exile, taking advantage of the war and chaos, just doing those things that rob homes and houses, killing people and stealing goods! Recently, there are often rogues outside Luoyang City, which makes people panic, Luo Heng was ordered to go to kill the rogues to resentment of the people, and there was this coincidence.

And the newly appointed Luozhou Mu Xiao Yun is also a royal clansman, and Xiao Zhao, the Wei King who is now serving as the Yecheng Mu, is the same generation as the King of Zhao.

After receiving the imperial court's canonization as the pastor of Luozhou, King Zhao left for Luoyang without stopping. After settling down in Luoyang, he took his family to Luoyang for reunion after the year, and the lord of Changning has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he has a good heart, and King Zhao is the only one among his six children, so he cherishes it and loves it very much, which is well known in the capital.

"In this way, General Luo is about to have a good thing?"

Chen Xiaoyu immediately understood the connection, Luo Heng saved the county lord of Changning by fate, plus this person is a young hero, maybe he can really achieve a good story of a beautiful woman with a hero!

I also think it will be so, because in today's banquet, you can see one or two from King Zhao's attitude towards Luo Heng.

"Quite possibly. ”

As I spoke, I walked over to Jue and sat down naturally.

She still knows a little bit about this sister's temperament, so she didn't comment on this matter, skillfully picked up the milk tea that had already been brewed on the red clay stove, and personally poured a small bowl for me and placed it in front of me.

Being able to drink a hot milk tea in winter is also a rare leisure pleasure.

And at this time, the purple jade girl brought up a few delicious snacks, and Ah Zheng's kid behind her also followed and placed these snacks in front of the table one by one in order.

It's just in time!

Although I went to the banquet, because I didn't like that kind of entertainment, I quit the table early for some reason, so naturally I didn't have time to use anything to eat, and I couldn't help but cast a grateful look at the purple jade girl.

Ziyu said very heartily:

"These are the things that the Lord instructed Ziyu to prepare for the prince in advance. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile, it seems that I already knew that I would not be able to sit still at the banquet and come back early, sure enough, I can't escape from her palm in my life.

"Okay, don't be busy, sit down, Ah Zheng, you sit down too, I have something to say to you. ”

Hearing that my words were quite serious, Ziyu lost her usual scruples, and knelt down side by side with Ah Zheng to listen to my dispatch.

I and Ah Zheng have not had such a solemn conversation with the master and servant for a long time, although Ah Zheng has also begun to grow in the experience, and more and more of a steward should have the calmness and bearing, but there are some things I still have to mention him, and let him remember.

"Ah Zheng, these days, have there been many people who have come to visit for some reason?"

"A lot. ”

"Can you handle it all?"

Ah Zheng thought seriously for a moment and said:

"It's still manageable. ”

I nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, from today on, your name is Gao Zheng, and you are my Gao Chen's true and honest manager, and you can make your own decisions about this kind of thing in the future, and you don't have to ask me about everything. ”

Ah Zheng was flattered when he heard this, does this sentence mean that he is qualified to become the steward of the son?

"Childe, I ......"

Ah Zheng was so nervous that he stammered a little when he spoke.

"Why, don't you dare to do anything?"

Feeling the gaze of Ziyu beside him looking at him, Ah Zheng blushed, nodded hurriedly and said:

"Dare!"

That's a pretty straightforward word.

"Okay, in the princess's mansion in the future, except for the purple jade girl, everyone else is under your control, if there is something undecided, go and consult the purple jade girl. ”

"Yes!"

When Ziyu heard this, her face was flushed.

"There is one more thing, you need to keep in mind, the higher your son-in-law's official position, the means used by those who want to deal with your son-in-law will also emerge in an endless stream, how these people deal with your son-in-law, how will they deal with you, thousands of miles of embankment, collapse in the anthill, you should take the end of your uncle's former steward Gao Fu, take it as a warning, don't make mistakes, so as not to regret it in the future!"

It's not just open guns and hidden arrows that can kill people, Vanity Fair Gentle Township can also put people to death, this is what I want to warn Ah Zheng.

Ah Zheng was deeply touched when he heard the words, two lines of tears flowed, he bowed his head and swore and said:

"Ah Zheng will definitely remember what Childe said, and he will never dare to forget!"

I nodded with some relief, and then motioned for Ah Zheng to get up, and said:

"Okay, get up, you stand down first. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Immediately, Ah Zheng hurriedly wiped his tears, got up slowly, and respectfully took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

I fixed my eyes on Ziyu, smiled and said:

"Ziyu girl, can you wait for Ah Zheng for three years? If you are interested in him in three years, and he can keep his oath today and live up to his original intention, then you are willing to give him a chance?"

Ziyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized that the son was proposing to herself on behalf of A? !

Suddenly her face was flushed with shyness, and she looked at her nervously, and she gave her a gentle smile in return, and said softly:

"Go as you please. ”

Ziyu blushed and groaned slightly for a moment, Ah Zheng is indeed a good person, and he feels that he actually doesn't hate Ah Zheng very much, and he has to serve the Lord all his life, if she has to leave the Lord because she wants to get married, she would rather never marry for the rest of her life.

Perhaps, you can really give Ah Zheng a chance, and give yourself a chance!

"Ziyu is willing!"

When Ziyu replied to this, her tone was firm.

Jue and I are very happy, this time we finally won a chance for Ah Zheng's stinky boy to win the heart of the beautiful woman. My master, I really broke my heart for him!

Ah Zheng and Ziyu don't have to worry, and Chen Xiaoyu will be left next......

Immediately, I stared at Chen Xiaoyu thoughtfully, and Chen Xiaoyu suddenly felt bad in his heart, so he hurriedly changed the topic and took the initiative to speak:

"Eh, since Childe mentioned Bishan, then ...... Is that case an eyebrow to be investigated?"

Chen Xiaoyu actually has a time when he is afraid, it's really rare!

"Speaking of that case...... It's a bit eyebrow-raising. ”

I smiled faintly and decided to let her go this time and turn my attention to this major murder.

The bodies of these deceased were found at the foot of the mountain, after all, it was a war, and it was common to find countless nameless corpses dug up in the corpse pit, but the dozen or so corpses found this time were not all nameless people, some were still native people in Luoyang, and finally the household registration inquest showed that there were ten people who could match their identities and names, and several of them were relatives of each other, although these people had very different shapes and physiques, but they all relied on doing the same thing to support their families and do the same business - that is, tomb robbing!

Because it was a cold winter, the corpses were rotting very slowly, and the fatal wounds on the body were clearly visible, all of which were slashed by the common blades held by the soldiers.

Related to tomb robbing, being killed by soldiers, and the time of death is not long, these series are connected, and I can almost conclude that this case must be related to the Dugu family.

Luoyang Pishan, has always been the ideal burial place of countless emperors and generals, but since the tomb opened the wind of thick burial, tomb robbery, tomb destruction has emerged in endlessly, and not only tomb robbers will rob tombs, even some dynasties of emperors and generals have done similar things to rob and excavate ancient tombs.

And the Dugu family's bold and reckless theft of the Beibi Ancient Tomb Cemetery this time is partly because the trick cut off most of their wealth, and the most important reason is the greed of this group of people!

Since the corpses were found, according to the criminal investigation procedures, it is necessary for the relevant departments to file a case for review according to the complaint of the bitter master, but because this group of dead people are tomb robbers, no matter which dynasty, the theft and excavation of high-level tombs, especially the emperor's tombs, is a felony of extermination, so no one dares to claim their bodies, and without relatives to claim them, it is impossible to confirm their identity, these people have become nameless corpses, and over time they will be turned into headless public cases, and this kind of case will be closed in the end.

This case is difficult to handle, not only is it difficult that no one dares to come forward to avenge their grievances and submit a complaint, that is, it cannot be filed; it is even more difficult that the real murderer in this case is still unable to be touched by the imperial court, and now the Northern Wei Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and if the state and town are rashly touched at this time, there will be a danger of subverting the court, so we have to be cautious.

But this case, I think it has to be done!

And it just so happens that among the deceased, there is a person who is quite famous in the tomb robbery industry, and there is also a son alive, and he is in Luoyang!

Tomb robbery, because it is an unsightly business, and the ancients believed that disturbing the underground souls is a very damaging thing, so this group of people act extremely secretively, and many of them are dragon hunting points, masters of their own faction, they have their own unique way of distinguishing the location and size of the ancient tomb, and even the age, usually as long as they are provided with the convenience of shooting, there is almost no tomb that they can't explore, which is why the Dugu family will use them.

Tomb robbers are mostly two people in a team, and the two are trusted relatives of each other, but never see father and son, during which one of the two goes down to the tomb and the other looks at the wind, so the combination is not only convenient but also safe, if not, if one of them has a greedy heart, then the trip will have no return.

Tomb robbing also has rules to abide by, but Dugujia is a lawless thief who doesn't know how to obey the rules!

If I pay dividends to the Dugu family to steal and dig up the ancient tomb, if he wants to steal the country, will he have to let it go?

So immediately I sent someone to find out where the second son of Ling was where? This son was also clever and cunning, as if he knew that someone was looking for him, and he was so clever that he fled around like a rat in a hole in the ground, and it was quite a headache to find it, and finally I asked Jue to help, and it took a lot of effort to confirm that he was an inferior servant and hid in the Liu family's Juxian Village, which is indeed an excellent hiding place!

After that, taking advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers to surround Juxianzhuang, he fished in troubled waters, and arranged for people to take away Ling's second son who was hiding in Juxianzhuang unknowingly, and an inferior servant lost his trace, and no one would care at all.

So the person is now under our control, and I have obtained unexpected information from him, a strange ancient tomb that Ling Lao Er accidentally discovered!

After coming out of the tomb, Ling Lao Er deliberately concealed the strange information in this ancient tomb, except for bringing out some valuable objects in the tomb, but did not report to the Dugu family what he saw, and handed over the objects secretly brought out of the ancient tomb to his son, and because of this, his son was hunted down and killed after Ling Lao Er's death, forcing him to hide everywhere!

And that's what happened to me!

What is this thing? This is a piece of cloth with the words written on the epitaph.

Epitaphs are generally composed of two parts, the epitaph is mostly written in prose, describing the name, place of origin, and life history of the tomb owner, while the epitaph summarizes the whole article in rhyme, mainly evaluating the life of the tomb owner. When you find the epitaph, you know the true identity of the owner of the tomb!

It turned out to be something that Ling Lao Er had to steal at the expense of his life, no wonder, except for this cloth that could be used as intimate clothing to deceive the eyes of the soldiers, other treasures that were worth no matter how valuable they were, could not be stolen at all!

When I saw the epitaph printed on this cloth rubbing, I felt that there was something in this article, and the identity of the owner of the tomb was even more confusing than I imagined......

Milk tea is mentioned in this article, don't be surprised, this milk tea production method is similar to Mongolian milk tea, is an indispensable thing for ethnic minorities every day, why is the tea and horse business so valued in the Ming Dynasty, just because tea and horses have the same importance, you can Baidu if you are interested in this area......

Then I mentioned a little bit about tomb robbing, Ye Zi described it just roughly, but it is also true, don't think about the real tomb robbery so mysteriously ^ - ^, if you are interested in this area, you can take a look at "The History of Chinese Tomb Robbery"!
