Chapter 5 Cheng Bites Gold
The last time he said, Mo Wushuang asked the old man surnamed Cheng to break into the Taishou Mansion and tie Di Huaiying out to pay for the tea and soup, but when he was taking the money, he ran into the old man's good apprentice Yuan Ergou, and this time he finally shook the things that happened in the Yiguo Cemetery, which caused the old man to blush-faced and almost chop this good man with an axe.

"If you say that you are short of money, you will find a master and find another meal, who gave you the courage to dare to touch the tomb of the Duke of Yiguo!"
"Master, your old man heard me say that this tomb was really not dug up by me, it was really the corpse that broke out of the stone hall by itself, and then when he left, the apprentice had the idea of taking the sheep by the hand!"
"You rebel is even better than me! Thinking that the Duke of Yiguo has been dead for more than ten years, and the tomb is also a feng shui treasure selected by the heavenly master Li Chunfeng, is it still haunted if you say this? “
Seeing that the old man was blowing his beard and glaring and was about to stretch out his hand to teach himself, Yuan Ergou quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times in succession, and even blood stains were splashed on the stone bricks.
"If the tomb of the important minister of the imperial court is moved, it must be reported to the local Taishou Mansion, and as for the specific situation, there will be a special magistrate to deal with it, and it is best to return these things to the tomb intact, otherwise it will be beheaded according to the law."
Di Huaiying was in an important position in Dali Temple, but after all, he was not a judge in Fengzhou City, so he was about to make up the silver and just wanted to pull Mo Wushuang away, but unexpectedly, the old man stood up again and bowed deeply to him.
"Little brother, I can see that you and this ink girl are not ordinary people, and this apprentice has also said that he has made an unintentional mistake, so ......"
"So you want me to intercede with Fengzhou Taishou, right?"
Di Huaiying glanced at the old man's slightly embarrassed appearance, then looked at the burial utensils on the table that were still stained with soil, and frowned after a moment of contemplation.
"Since ancient times, the laws have not been merciful, not to mention the rule that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, you should also understand."
"Besides, this Taishou just screamed at you as a grandfather, how can you say that it is better than me, an outsider, isn't it?"
"Alas! This Di Gongzi is really joking, that Chen surnamed Taishou thought that when he was not appointed as Fengzhou Taishou, he was just a small local village head, because a relative who couldn't be beaten by eight poles found me to be an ancestor as a backer, which was mixed up in today's position. “
"At this time, I have been reduced to a common person, except for the deeper background, it is not enough to let the Chen surnamed Taishou forgive this rebel, so I have to beg Di Gongzi to go in again and persuade that Taishou to raise his noble hand to Ergou!"
Hearing this, Di Huaiying couldn't guess how prominent the old man in front of him was earlier, and now with his age and surname, he asked softly after a little thought.
"Could it be that Your Excellency is the Duke of Lu Guocheng, one of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion canonized by Emperor Taizong back then?"

"Tell someone to see, is the Demon King of the Mixed World at the gate of the Taishou Mansion gone?"
The food on the table was already cold, and at this moment, Tai Shouzheng and the many magistrates present couldn't help but ask in the direction of the door, but they didn't know that the guards who came to report trembled and pounced on the threshold, and before they could agree, they saw the old man take Di Huaiying and return.
"What's the matter? You just want Grandpa Cheng to go! “
"Hey! Look at what you always say, knowing that you and Master Di are safe and sound is really happier than the holidays! “
Seeing that Di Huaiying was fine, Chen Taishou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could call the servant next to him to change the meal, he didn't know that Old Man Cheng sat on the wooden chair and hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't come to your posture of entertaining outsiders, grandpa just had something to find Di Gongzi but didn't expect to find the wrong person, in the end, you have to do it."
"Eh! It's not a sentence to be able to do things for Grandpa Cheng, you just have to say here that it is our duty to honor you! “
No wonder this Taishou can sit in his current position from the market, it seems that this ability to make sycophants has not been forgotten at all, and he came over to knock on the legs of Old Man Cheng and laughed on his back.
Of course, everyone here knows that what Chen Taishou really respects is not the old man himself, but the many relationships and backgrounds behind him as founding generals.
After all, the earlier family was one of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion canonized by the founding Emperor Taizong, and if he died, he would be buried in Zhaoling!
"Hehe, with your words, Grandpa Cheng will be relieved."
The old face was relieved of anger, and even though Old Man Cheng called Yuan Ergou into the house from behind, he saw Chen Taishou look panicked when he put the things on the table and explained again, and he hurriedly waved his hand when he sat on the ground.
"No! Not! Not! “
"I said Grandpa Cheng! This digging up the tomb of the Duke of Yiguo is not an ordinary big crime, and the heavy one is the Nine Clans, do you think I dare to bear this matter? “
"Besides, I and the people in Fengzhou City all know that you value love and righteousness, but this matter is really too implicated, I am afraid that the reputation of your old man for a lifetime will also be planted inside!"
"So from the point of view of the lower officials, the long pain is better than the short pain, it's a big deal that you will find an apprentice in the future, anyway, your old man's longevity is not bad at this time!"
As soon as these words fell, Yuan Ergou was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and made a fool, and the words of Old Man Cheng who wanted to beg for mercy were stuck in his throat and his face turned purple, and when he was about to put down his body and continue to plead, Di Huaiying coughed deeply on his side.
"If you want me to see, even if the seriousness of this matter is summarized in Fengzhou City, in the end, it will have to be reported to Dali Temple, so it just so happens that Di Mou came to visit, it is better to check the situation of the stone temple first, and then talk about the crime after having a decision?"
This sentence finally eased the tense atmosphere in the Taishou Mansion, and immediately Chen Taishou remembered that Di Huaiying was by his side, and quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead before he smiled dryly.
"What Master Di said is that it is indeed difficult for the little old man to hand over this case to the small Fengzhou City, but if Lord Di is a detective to check it, it will naturally be excellent if there is a conclusion from Dali Temple!"
Hurry up and push this black cauldron out, Chen Taishou knows in his heart that if he takes over this black cauldron no matter what the result is, there will be no good end for him, not to mention that this is a troublesome thing that Di Huaiying snatched by himself!
It's a big deal, during this time, the Taishou Mansion actively cooperated with Master Di to investigate the case, and in the end, Old Man Cheng couldn't be angry with himself!
"Well, since Lord Taishou has agreed to this, tomorrow I will send a few officials and commentators who know the road to the stone temple of the Duke of Yiguo!"
After the words finally saw that things had taken a turn for the better, Yuan Ergou was escorted into prison for a while, and Old Man Cheng hugged his fists and thanked after going out with Di Huaiying.
"Old man Cheng doesn't need to be polite, after all, Huaiying shouldn't be deaf to the matter of the Yiguo Cemetery, so it makes sense to bring people to Dali Temple."
"What's more, in the early years, the ancestors of the family were also old friends with you, and later after the accident in the Di Mansion, you also helped in the investigation, so Huaiying naturally can't turn a blind eye to something that happened."
"Friends?"
"Could it be that you are the widow of Di Fu... Di Renjie? “
Old Man Cheng's expression was stunned when he heard this, and after glancing at Mo Wushuang's body in front of the tea stall on the street corner, he whispered to Di Huaiying.
