Chapter 228: Tomb Robbers
Song Xinzheng County
Xinzheng County originally belonged to Kaifeng Prefecture, and in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Zhengzhou was restored, and Xinzheng County was placed under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou.
Xinzheng County is close to the Yellow River, has a long history, is the capital of Zheng and Han during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is the hometown of the Yellow Emperor.
In addition, there is a special place in Xinzheng County, that is, the tombs of Song high-ranking officials.
The high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, especially the ministers of the Zaizhi, were generally buried in their hometowns, and some were buried within 300 li of Gyeonggi to show their loyalty to the imperial court after their deaths.
In Gyeonggi, they are generally buried in Xinzheng County, Gong County, Yichuan, Xiangcheng and other places.
Among them, there are many buried in Xinzheng County, such as Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the Renzong Dynasty, who was buried in Xinzheng after his death. The other is Taizu and Chen Xinghua, the ruling minister of the Taizong Dynasty.
Chen Xinghua is a four-jinshi. The eldest son Chen Yaosu Duangong two years champion and first, the second son Chen Yaozuo Jinshi and the third, the third son Chen Yaozhi is the third year champion and the first in Xianping, Chen Xinghua's son-in-law Fu Yaoyu is also the champion and the first, plus Chen Xinghua himself, is known as "one door four champions", is the champion family.
Among them, in addition to Chen Xinghua's minister, his eldest son Chen Yaosu and second son Chen Yaozuo are also in the position of governor, so they are also known as "one family and three prime ministers".
Chen Xinghua's father and son were all buried in Xinzheng County after their deaths.
After a long time, a large group of tombs of high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty was formed in the area south of Chongxiao Temple in Xinzheng County, and the cemetery of Chen Xinghua and his son was also here.
There is a tall "Shinto tablet" in the cemetery of Chen Xinghua father and son, the Shinto tablet is engraved with the life of Chen father and son and the edicts of the emperors of previous dynasties, and there are many tall stone people, stone sheep, stone horses, stone tigers and so on on both sides of the tomb.
It was late at night, the moon hung high in the sky, there were countless stars twinkling in the sky, and there were countless chirping insects in the cemetery.
The entire cemetery is unusually peaceful and serene.
At this time, although there was moonlight and starlight, if you didn't observe carefully, you couldn't notice that there were a large number of Kaifeng Mansion catchers and archers ambushed near the cemetery of Chen's father and son.
The Kaifeng Mansion's catchers and archers were quietly lying in the grass of the cemetery, as if they were waiting for someone, and they seemed to be preparing to arrest some important criminals.
"Will it come?" Li Sanjian, the official of the Kaifeng Mansion and the doctor of the Liupin Zuo Dynasty, who was lying in the grass, waved his hand and fanned some nasty mosquitoes and flies, and asked in a low voice.
"According to the report from the tomb keeper, a tomb robber cave has been discovered, and the little ones have also received news that the tomb robbers will 'visit' here today." Wu Miaoshan, the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, replied when he heard this.
Recently, tomb robbers have been more rampant, and the Kaifeng Mansion has received many reports of theft of cemeteries, so today's public arrest is ready to arrest the tomb robbers.
What can make Wu Miaoshan and others wonder is that Li Sanjian, the "No. 2 person" of the Kaifeng Mansion and the prime minister, actually personally led a team to Xinzheng County to arrest the tomb robbers.
At the same time, Li Sanjian transferred hundreds of officials such as the government officials and archers, which made Wu Miaoshan and others wonder abnormally.
Isn't it just to arrest a few tomb robbers? Is it necessary to mobilize the people like this? Still leading the team yourself? Could it be that the ancestral grave of the prime minister was dug up?
But this is not right, Li Sanjian's ancestral home is Shao Wujun, Fujian Road, and later lived in Danzhou, Qiongtai, haven't heard of his ancestral grave here?
Wu Miaoshan and others were puzzled.
"Not necessarily." Yao Yu, who was half-lying on the ground, said disdainfully while fiddling with a pair of divine arm bows in his hands.
The Song Divine Arm Bow is generally not matched with the state capital, only for the army, or for the elite army, but Yao Yu, the official of the Kaifeng Mansion, does not know where to get a pair of divine arm bows, and often carries them on his body.
"You? What do you know? Li Sanjian glared at Yao Yu and said.
Yao Yu was extremely reluctant to come to the cemetery to catch any tomb robbers, but he was dragged by Li Sanjian, so he was full of complaints along the way.
"Of course I do." Yao Yu said without saying anything: "Since the tomb keeper has discovered that there is a tomb robbery cave, which shows that this tomb has been stolen by tomb robbers, will it come today?" ”
Yao Yu, a military general with a background in martial arts, was actually used by Li Sanjian as a catcher? made Yao Yu's heart extremely uncomfortable, but he was helpless, who called Li Sanjian his superior and his uncle?
However, although Yao Yu is full of trouble, what he said is not unreasonable, since there is already a cave, it does prove that the tomb robbers have come, maybe the burial goods in the tomb have been stolen.
"What Yao Dangguan said is reasonable." Hearing this, Wu Zhutou replied in a low voice: "But the little one thinks that the tomb robbers will come here today." ”
"Why is that?" Li Sanjian looked up at the empty cemetery and asked in a low voice.
"Tomb robbery is not a day or two can be completed, the thieves have to step on the point first, and then dig a hole, dig a hole and then enter the cemetery, after entering the cemetery, they will continue to dig until they find the coffin, smuggle the tomb, if the tomb is more, a day or two can not be finished, the thieves even have to look at the feng shui, calculate the days or something, the small view of this cave has not been dug for a long time, so the small estimate is that they will come here in the next few days." Wu Zhutou replied.
"Do you know a lot? Have you robbed the tomb too? Hearing this, Yao Yu glared at Wu Miaoshan unconvinced.
"Why does Yao Dangguan say that villain?" Wu Zhutou was a little angry by what Yao Yu said: "The villain has been arresting thieves for more than ten years, and he knows some of the thieves' tricks. ”
"Who knows if there is collusion with thieves? Hum! Yao Yu snorted. 163TXT
"Yao is an official" Wu Zhutou became more and more angry, and said without regard to the dignity of the upper and lower levels: "You say that I colluded with thieves, but what evidence do you have?" Nonsense without credentials, huh... Hum... ”
"You have a stuffy nose? What are you doing humming and chirping? Yao Yu completely forgot that he had just hummed...
"Shut up, scare away the thieves, take you two and ask." Li Sanjian saw that the two were arguing louder and louder, so he scolded in a low voice.
Neither of them dared to say anything more, but just blew their beards and glared at each other.
Li Sanjian shook his head slightly, took out his clairvoyance from his arms, wanting to observe the movements around him.
"Hmph" Wu Miaoshan snorted again: "Li Tuiguan, the little one is not humming you... Li Tuiguan quickly put this thing back. ”
"And who are you humming?" Yao Yu clenched his fists and said angrily, if it wasn't for Li Sanjian's presence, maybe the two of them would have fought on the spot.
"Why is that?" Li Sanjian pushed Yao Yu and asked in surprise.
"Tomb robbers have excellent eyesight, so be careful to be detected by them." Wu Miaoshan replied when he heard this.
Although Wu Miaoshan didn't know what Li Sanjian had come up with, this thing was shining in the moonlight and starlight, so he dissuaded Li Sanjian.
"Oh, that's right." Hearing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly put the clairvoyant back into his arms, patted his chest, and covered Qianli tightly.
It seems that Wu Miaoshan is really an experienced anti-theft official, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, the anti-theft thing is not something that you can arrest by putting on an official uniform and hanging a waist knife, it is not a few years but a few decades of cold and summer.
In this regard, Li Sanjian can't do it, and Yao Yu, who is excellent in martial arts, can't compare, and today Li Sanjian dragged Yao Yu here, mainly with his extraordinary archery skills, otherwise just like Jin Mingchi's time, the thief could escape with light skills.
"Push the official, there is movement." At this moment, a government official quickly reported in a low voice.
Li Sanjian waved his hand, lay down in the grass, and looked up slightly at the long passage of the cemetery.
I saw that in the hazy moonlight, two black shadows appeared, sneakily towards the cave of the cemetery gradually leaned over, and while walking, they looked around, and they could see at a glance that these two people were not good people.
In the middle of the night, how could ordinary people run into such a gloomy cemetery...
Li Sanjian glanced at Wu Miaoshan and asked if he was arrested?
Wu Miaoshan shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and gestured, meaning that these two people just came to step on the spot, and the real tomb robbers were still behind.
Sure enough, the two thieves touched the vicinity of the cave that had been dug a long time ago, pushed away the straw, floating soil and other objects hidden at the mouth of the cave, and carefully observed the surroundings before lighting the fire folds, and after shaking them for a few times in the night, they quickly extinguished the fire folds.
After half a ring, four or five more people appeared in the passage of the cemetery, carrying some baggage on their backs and some tools in their hands.
Seeing this, Li Sanjian glanced at Wu Miaoshan nervously and asked him if he would arrest him?
Wu Miaoshan shook his head slightly, waved his hand and gestured again, meaning to let them go into the cave first, so that they could catch turtles in an urn...
Li Sanjian didn't understand the meaning of catching turtles in Wu Miaoshan's urn, but he understood the meaning of Wu Miaoshan's temporary refusal.
Li Sanjian then glared at Yao Yu, who was eager to try.
The grave robbers scattered, and carefully observed the surroundings before gathering at the entrance of the cave, and carefully climbed into it one by one.
But even so, the tomb robbers still left a man at the entrance of the cave to probe the wind.
"Do it, take the thief who explores the wind first." Wu Miaoshan said in a low voice at this time.
Li Sanjian nodded, waved his hand to the official office, and the archer gave a signal to move.
After receiving the news, Shan Kui and Xu Biao, who had been in ambush for a long time, jumped up from their hiding place, and pounced on the tomb robbers at the door with lightning speed.
"Ahh Mmmmmm As soon as the thief of the wind let out a shout, he was covered by two burly black men and pressed to the ground.
The burly and heavy bodies of Shan Kui and Xu Biao almost crushed the tomb robber to the point that he was almost suffocated to death.
"Up!" Li Sanjian waved his hand.
After receiving the order, hundreds of catchers and archers rushed up with knives, guns, shackles, ropes, hooks, etc., holding torches.
Yao Yu carried the bow of the divine arm, drew his waist knife, and rushed to the front in the lead.
"Why didn't you do it sooner?" Yao Yu rushed to the entrance of the cave, stretched out his blade and probed into the cave, and complained, "How can the rest of the thieves be caught?" Shall I climb into it too? ”
Li Sanjian also looked at Wu Miaoshan suspiciously when he heard this.
