Chapter 062: Empty Coffin

When Xie Guogong and others were young, they often practiced martial arts naked and shirtless on the martial arts field, and most of the soldiers had heard rumors about birthmarks, and they also took the birthmarks of their families as lucky charms, and they had to find ways to touch them before every big war, saying that they could save their lives.

The army of the Xie family is strictly organized, and the children and grandchildren of the Xie family all start from the beginning of the army, and rely on their own real skills to work hard step by step, in order to become the general who leads the army. At that time, the Duke of Xie Guo had not yet become a knight, and his rank in the army was only a small general banner, and he and his brothers and cousins were mixed in the soldiers every day. If someone wants to touch the birthmark, they generously undress, and nothing will be perfected.

She disguised herself as a man and secretly enlisted in the army as a deputy general's personal soldier. When he heard this, he was very curious, so he went to the camp where Xie Guogong was located to see what was going on. Xie Guogong didn't know that she was a daughter, and when he saw her shrinking behind people and refused to step forward, he took the initiative to take her hand and touch her when she was a recruit.

It has never been a secret that the Xie family has birthmarks. Before the accident in the Jieguo Mansion, there were also many jokes about the Xie family leading troops to resist the enemy, which mentioned birthmarks.

Isn't it true that someone with a heart saw that the new emperor raised the Jieguo Mansion and deceived her into taking charge of the family house alone, so he forged a birthmark and pretended to be the bloodline of the Xie family, in a vain attempt to insert someone into the mansion?

Knowing that there are birthmarks on the body of the Xie family, you should know that it is only on the man, so why arrange a girl? Wouldn't it be more convincing to arrange a boy with "red marks"? Is it intentional, so there is a suspicion, or is there something else hidden?

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Hongyu couldn't help but call out loud, "Madam......"

Mrs. An came back to her senses and put the letter on the table, "Eleven or twelve years old, I was born a year or two before the accident, is there a girl of the same age in the house?" ”

Ever since she entered the nunnery, she has been indifferent to everything in the Guogong Mansion. She didn't know how many dings had been added to the house and how many mouths had entered.

Although Hongyu had a connection with the Guogong Mansion in those years, it was just to report to Xie Guogong about An's physical condition and daily life and other trivial matters. Every New Year's Day, Duke Xie would always send someone to send some food, silver taels and clothes, but most of the people who came were strict-mouthed, and rarely revealed what happened in the Guogong Mansion.

After returning home, in order to build a tomb and erect a monument for the Xie family, the new emperor instructed the three divisions of the yamen to send the name book of the Xie family to the Guogong Mansion. The old lady had never seen it, and after it was delivered, it was kept by Hongyu.

Hongyu saw the letter at first glance, and had the same idea as Mrs. An, and suspected that someone had rescued a certain girl from the Xie family when she was in danger, so she went to check the name book.

"In the forty-fifth and forty-sixth years of Hongxuan, a total of four babies were born in the house, three little masters, and one little young lady. The little lady was born to the concubine in the eldest young master's room, because she was born prematurely, she was born with congenital insufficiency, and she contracted the wind cold and died a few days after she was born. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. An couldn't help but think of her son who died young, and a touch of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Hongyu looked at her look, realized that she had reminded her of her sad past, and hurriedly continued to speak to divert her attention, "Could it be the blood and bones left by some old or young master who have not been on the family tree of the Xie family?" ”

"No, I can't." Mrs. An shook her head.

The rules of the Xie family are extremely strict, raising the outer room, holding the play, and visiting the green house, all of which are not allowed. Once discovered, it is necessary to serve the family law. Family law is like military law, and violators are severely punished.

Xie Guogong had two family meals for her, once because he insisted on marrying her as the main room, and once because she conceived an heir before the main room. I ate fifty military sticks on both occasions, and I relied on his youth and health, and I was bedridden for two or three months, and I was still alive and kicking when I got better. But if the foundation is poor, if you don't die, you will be disabled.

The concubine room precedes the main room and conceives an heir, and she has to eat the family law, not to mention the outer room? The Xie family is not allowed to take concubines, as long as the identity is innocent and clean, they can be carried into the door.

And there is an extremely harsh provision in the family rules, whether it is family law or military law, if you eat three times in total, the family tree will be removed, and the military membership will be revoked, and you will be a waste person from now on.

The men of the Xie family are naturally proud, and they are proud of dying on the battlefield. Anyone who has some brains and ambitions will not risk being expelled from the list to raise an outer room and give birth to a child without a name.

Even if you accidentally leave a seed outside, you will also dispose of it as soon as possible, how can you wait until the child is born, and call it a year or two outside?

Hongyu didn't give up, "Could it be that I didn't remember it, and the woman deliberately concealed it, so ......"

"That can't either." Mrs. An still shook her head, "Do you know how famous the Xie family boy is?" How many people in Korea and Fanguo want to take their lives? When you go out and go in, you will be accompanied by your own soldiers, even if it is just a little more wine, and it will reach the ears of the grandfather of the country in less than a quarter of an hour.

Leaving such a big thing outside, you can't hide it if you want to. ”

Before the accident in the Jieguo Mansion, it was one of the few wealthy families in the Great Jin Kingdom. If the woman is really pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Xie family, how can she hide it, and she doesn't use it as a bargaining chip, and she desperately wants to squeeze into the door of the Xie family?

"If it can't be left outside, it should be exiled from the house." Hongyu muttered.

Mrs. An glanced at her, "Haven't you already checked it correctly?" There are no girls of the same age in the house. ”

"Actually......"

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Mrs. An frowned slightly, "If you have something to say, why do you swallow and vomit?" ”

"Madame, do you remember the third young master?" Ruby asked tentatively, a little cautious in her tone.

Mrs. An thought for a moment, "But the one with bad bones?" ”

"That's the one." Hongyu nodded hurriedly and said, "Just two years before the accident, Grandpa Guo sent someone to send a wedding cake to the nunnery. The person who delivered the wedding cake said that the third young master in the house got married and married the daughter of a merchant.

Because it is really rare for a merchant's daughter to marry into the Guogong Mansion, I was curious for a while, so I inquired a few more words. It is said that it was because of the matching of the eight characters that it was called a pick, and it was for the third young master. ”

After a pause, he said the most important thing, "Actually, there is one more thing I didn't tell you, a few days ago I went to inspect the cemetery on your behalf, and the foreman who repaired the mausoleum quietly looked for me and said that there was a coffin that was empty, and asked me what to do with it."

You also know that after the accident in the Guogong Mansion, the cemetery was unattended, and I don't know how many people came to dig graves and rob tombs, and the tombs and underground palaces were full of robbery holes, and nine of the ten coffins were called hollowed out. Inevitably, there were those who were careless and unsophisticated, exposing the bones and then dragging away the beasts or something.

After so many years, there is nowhere to find it. When the house was raided, the house was looted, and it was impossible to build a clothed mound. I asked the foreman, and he said that it was possible to cast bronze men instead of bones.

Because of the decree of the Holy Father, all the expenses required to repair the cemetery are borne by the imperial court, so I specially visited Lord Liu of the Ministry of Industry. Without saying a word, Mr. Liu approved the note and asked me to provide the name and surname of the person who lost the bones, the eight characters of his birth, etc., so that the Ministry of Industry could cast them in time.

I took the tomb map of the cemetery back and checked the register, only to find that the missing body was the third young lady who married into the mansion and Chongxi......"
