Chapter Eighty-Six: An Ominous Omen
On this day, Tang Mo and Zhu Yunwen went to the court together, and recently the White Lotus Sect has become more and more difficult to control, so Zhu Yunwen wants to restrict some of the rights of the White Lotus Sect, but he is afraid that Tang Mo will not be happy.

Now Tang Mo's clone is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, the reason is that when the leader of the White Lotus Sect took away this body, he also passed the position of the sect leader to this body, so Tang Mo is now the leader of the sect, and he actually manages many affairs of the White Lotus Sect.
A favored retainer of Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to mention the matter of the White Lotus Sect, and Zhu Yunwen said, "Although the White Lotus Sect is the state religion, its rights are also a little too big, what does the queen think?" ”
Tang Mo didn't want to weaken the White Lotus Sect now, because since she killed the real White Lotus Sect Master, the White Lotus Sect had actually fallen into her hands.
The White Lotus Sect is already Tang Mo's thing, and to weaken the rights of the White Lotus Sect is to weaken Tang Mo's rights.
Therefore, Tang Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I thought it was better not to cut it, after all, the White Lotus Sect has made so many contributions to the imperial court, and a little power can be given, so what can it be?" ”
Zhu Yunwen originally wanted to weaken the White Lotus Sect, but as soon as Tang Mo said it, he immediately changed his mind, he loved Tang Mo more than Jiangshan, Zhu Yunwen nodded, and then said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to mention this matter again." ”
The favored minister walked down, and then a eunuch suddenly broke into the Taiji Hall in a panic, but his mouth was panting and he couldn't speak.
"What kind of system is so panicked, what happened, don't you say it slowly?" Zhu Yunwen drank softly.
Only then did the eunuch stabilize his mind and said, "It's Jianling, it's Jianling that has an accident!" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunwen asked.
The mausoleum was built by Zhu Yunwen for himself and the queen, and it was only a little more than a year before it was built, and it was more than ten years before it was completed.
"Dozens of prisoners died suddenly, in a terrible state, and two of the overseers died, and now the whole excavation has stopped, and the prisoners and craftsmen who built it say that it is a curse, and they are unwilling to continue digging." The eunuch reported for duty.
"Your Majesty, this is an ominous omen!" A minister came out and said.
Another person said, "Your Majesty, you should immediately order the excavation of the tomb to be stopped, and send the Criminal Department to investigate. ”
The ministers below began to express their opinions, but Zhu Yunwen looked at Tang Mo.
"What do you think, Queen?"
Tang Mo had seen ghosts in person, so he didn't have the idea of not believing in ghosts and gods, and this kind of bizarre thing at this moment was obviously related to ghosts.
Sending those ordinary people over is just sending yang energy to the evil ghosts, it doesn't make any sense, Tang Mo pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's better to change the White Lotus Sect overseer, I can also go over at any time to find out the truth." ”
"Well, as the Queen says." Zhu Yunwen said.
Tang Mo is now powerful, and no one below dares to stand up against it, and after Zhu Yunwen agreed, the cabinet began to draft documents and agree on specific matters.
About three days later, the document ordering the White Lotus Sect to supervise the excavation of the Jianling Tomb was issued to Tang Mo.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to Jianling to see for myself, and you'll wait for me in the palace." Tang Mo said to Zhu Yunwen.
"Okay, Mo'er, I'll wait for you to come back." Zhu Yunwen said, and then watched Tang Mo leave with reluctance.
Tang Mo took the four protectors of the White Lotus Sect to Jianling, one of these four protectors was the woman who slapped Tang Mo at the beginning, Tang Mo swore to deal with this woman, but now it is the time to employ people, Tang Mo decided to give up the grudges of the past and no longer care about the past.
The entourage, as well as the thousands of core members of the White Lotus Sect, all have martial arts, and the weakest ones also have acquired second-rate strength, they have all taken Ning Xianlu, and their martial arts talents are not weak.
After the group gathered in the capital, they went to Jianling, which was hundreds of miles away on the outskirts of the capital.
Jianling is located in the mountains of the surrounding area, when the original choice of location, it is also in accordance with the feng shui selection of the "dragon's lair", surrounded by mountains, the river passes, is an excellent place of feng shui.
Two days later, the team arrived at Jianling.
Originally, it was the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office who were in charge of supervising the excavation, but now these eunuchs are guarding the tens of thousands of prisoners here outside the Jianling Mausoleum, waiting for the White Lotus Sect to come and hand them over.
Tang Mo led a group of people to the outside of the Jianling Mausoleum, and all the prisoners and eunuchs knelt down and shouted, "See the queen's mother, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
Tang Mo motioned for them to get up, and then found the person in charge of the construction of the mausoleum and began to inquire in detail.
"Mother, I'm afraid there is something ominous underground." The main person in charge of building the mausoleum is a squire of the Ministry of Works, and his ancestors have been engaged in the construction of the mausoleum, and he has a deep attainment in the construction of the mausoleum.
"Let's hear what's going on." Tang Mo sat on the main seat and said lightly.
"I was patrolling another graveyard when I suddenly heard a shrill chirp from the second graveyard on the left, a sound I had never heard before, and if I had to describe it, I could only think of one word."
He still seemed to feel the horror of that time.
"What word?" Tang Mo asked.
"Ghost crying wolf" Lei Shilang, the person in charge of Jianling, let out a sigh of relief after speaking, and then said, "Then I heard the screams of people coming from the second tomb on the left, not one person, but many people screaming at the same time, when we rushed over, dozens of prisoners and overseers who were digging in the second tomb on the left had all died violently, and the death was terrible. ”
"What kind of death?" Tang Mo asked.
"The body has been disposed of, but we have kept the portrait." Lei Shilang called a small official and took out a few blank paper portraits.
Tang Mo unfolded it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked.
The portrait depicts a dead prisoner and an overseer, whose eyes are bursting, bleeding from their orifices, their bodies strangely bent, and their mouths are twisted with smiles that look like evil spirits.
"Take me to see it," Tang Mo said.
"This ......" Lei Shilang couldn't help but hesitate, Niangniang is a golden body, I'm afraid it's not good to enter the tomb, but he has always been a submissive character, so he had to reluctantly nod at the moment, and said, "Okay." ”
Tang Mo followed Lei Shilang into the building mausoleum under construction, the scale of the royal mausoleum is very huge, like an underground city, all kinds of tombs criss-cross, if an ordinary person comes in, I am afraid that he will get lost.
Tang Mo and Lei Shilang followed them into the tomb together, and then went to the place where the incident occurred, Tang Mo exuded a sense of consciousness and felt it carefully.
As we got closer to the second tomb on the left, the air in the tomb became colder and colder, and there was a gloomy feeling.
Tang Mo felt the chill outside, and Jin Dan's true power began to operate in his body, this cold aura was easily dispelled, and the originally nervous mood also relaxed.
