Chapter 954: Tomb Robbery
Yu Fu felt that it was really good and prescient for his father to give him this name. I have suffered for most of my life, I can't keep my clothes warm and food, and I've been struggling to survive for a year, I originally thought that this life would be like this, and the only thing I am proud of is that he successfully raised his three sons and became adults.
But what I never expected was that when I got old, I was getting older, but this day suddenly got better day by day. The old officials were driven away, and new officials came, and everything changed.
Two years ago, his family had their own land, and although it was bought with a loan from the government, the money was not interest-free. Taxes were suddenly reduced to a very low level, and the conscription was gone, and the projects that the common people had to build with their own grain and grass were now covered by the government, and there were wages.
Whenever the farming is not working, such projects will be started one after another, so that these people can use their labor to exchange some cash.
The two remaining sons of the family have now married their daughters-in-law, the thatched hut has been replaced by a large tiled house, and the granary is full of grain, and Yu Fu has never been so full as it is now.
He felt very happy.
The only regret is that the eldest son went to become a soldier, and then there is no news, but I am afraid that he will never come back. The family has already set up a mound for him, and he will succeed him from among the second or third children in the future, so that he can have someone to offer cigarettes in the future.
The autumn harvest was over, and the two sons packed their bags and went to Jiaozhou again. There is another big and big seaport there, and it is always recruiting manpower. If it weren't for the fact that he was old and worked too hard when he was young, leaving a body of illness, he would have followed his son where to earn money.
The newly harvested grain has already been put into the warehouse, waiting for the people of the supply and marketing cooperatives to come and collect it. This year's grain prices are better than last year's, I heard that because of the war, so the grain price has risen, and today I can pay off the arrears of ten more silver dollars.
Staying at home, of course, can't eat idle meals, which is simply intolerable in Yu Fu's opinion. However, the old woman and her two daughters-in-law can do the things at home, and they really don't need him, so he took the basket on his back and prepared to go to the mountains to pick some honeysuckle.
Now is the season of honeysuckle blooming, this is the best medicinal material, picked back and dried, a pound can be sold for half a silver dollar! On that nameless hill not far from home, there are large patches of honeysuckle! It's ripe season. If it is completely harvested, I am afraid that it will be more than one pound after drying, which is half a silver dollar!
The wind under Yu Fu's feet happily, and the knee pain that had been trapped for many years seemed to be less obvious. The steep path was not an obstacle, but a guarantee for him to have such a large piece of honeysuckle.
Finally arrived at the destination, the fragrance between the nose was bright, and a large sea of honeysuckle in front of him was white and yellow, and in his eyes, it was a yellow and clear copper dollar. The ones on the outside, he picked almost all yesterday, and today he has to go a little more inside.
Stooping into the tree, he took a few steps before he suddenly stopped.
In the middle of the dense trees, a large pit appeared, he was stunned, he remembered that there was no such pit here, and after a few steps further, he suddenly saw a man lying in the pit, and under him, a large area of blood soaked the surrounding land. The blood hadn't changed color yet, and it was clear that the man hadn't been dead for too long.
Yu Fu screamed, took several steps back, sat on the ground, and after a long time, he got up and ran outside.
"Kill, kill!" He screamed all the way down the mountain.
An hour later, the edge of this big pit was already full of county catchers.
Taupp crouched beside the deceased, who was lying face down on the ground, mortally wounded by a knife in the waist. And what made Taurp frown even more was the things left around this person.
It didn't take a closer look to know that it was used for tomb robbing. Is there an ancient tomb here?
The body was removed, and Tao Pu saw that under this person, there was a mutilated stone tablet.
The tomb of Li Gongzhi Jinglong.
Well, this is the grave of a man named Li Jinglong, what is the origin of this person? Tao Pu didn't know, but it was certainly not a flat-headed common man, otherwise these tomb robbers would not have set their sights on here.
"Boss, there are two graves here, and dead people!" In the dense jungle, the shouts of his men were heard. Taup's heart sank, and he strode inside.
Compared with the robbery pits outside, there are many thieves inside, there are rotten coffins, white bones scattered on the ground, and three people died in the two grave pits.
There were four dead people at once, and the case was a big one. Tao Pu's scalp couldn't help but tingle for a while, it was a felony to dig up graves, once caught, there was only one way to die, so these tomb robbers were some outlaws, and to make these outlaws here, they must have found a lot of wealth here.
A person who can bury a large amount of treasure is definitely not an ordinary person.
Now it's a problem!
Tao Pu felt that his position of catching the head was a little precarious.
These people are really hard to catch.
I looked at a few more tombstones, and sure enough, all of them were surnamed Li. Apparently this is a family grave with the surname Lee.
"Tao Tou, the county is here!" There was shouting again. Tauppu froze down, motioned for his men to carry the dead out, and made great strides out of the woods.
The county order is very young, but the origin is very large, I heard that it is a Jinshi who graduated from Wuwei Academy, for Tao Pu, it is a mortal figure in the sky.
"Wu Xianzun, it's a tomb robbery case, the tomb robbers caught fire inside, and four people died!" Taupp bowed. In the past two years, the county has been in a good mood, and there has been no vicious case, and suddenly there is a vicious case such as a tomb robbery and there are dead people, no wonder the young county commander is in a hurry, and he rushed over in a hurry.
I'm afraid of being held accountable, and the county order is also afraid of evaluation!
If such a vicious case can't be solved, Wu County Ling is afraid that he won't be able to eat and walk around.
Wu Qiubei had a cold face and followed Tao Pu inside. He already faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, because when he first came, he felt that this hill was a little strange, and now that he has come up the mountain, he has some fixed opinions in his heart.
Where is this ordinary hill from?
This is obviously a sealed soil.
The sealed soil is piled up as high as a mountain, can it be an ordinary person here? Hearing Tao Pu say that the owner of this outer tomb was surnamed Li, and the burial date was less than 100 years ago, his skull hurt even more.
Because now the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is surnamed Li!
A total of three graves were excavated.
Wu Qiubei is not a semi-literate person who can barely read like Tao Pu, and after reading it carefully, he was relieved that the three graves that were dug up were obviously still on the periphery, which means that the tomb robbers did not touch the graves of the real big men under the sealed soil.
And after looking at it this time, he found that the outermost tomb was the simplest, basically no different from ordinary people, but it was different from the inside, especially the innermost one, which looked quite extraordinary
It seems that this family has declined, and the more future generations go, the more useless it becomes. In the end, he had been reduced to the same as ordinary people, which made him breathe a small sigh of relief.
"Write down the general situation here, and then fill in the pit, and put it in the ground, and don't let the bones of the dead be in the wilderness." Wu Qiubei commanded as he turned around and walked out.
Walking outside, he had almost surveyed the four corpses.
"County Zun, except for the one on the outside who was killed by a sudden sneak attack, the three inside all died after fighting, this is the jade Jue found from the arms of one of them, but the shape is a little strange, and it is different from the general one. It seems to have been cut into two pieces from the middle, and only half of the piece was found in this man's arms. ”
Looking at this piece of jade spread on the white cloth, it is indeed a little strange. The average jade jue is a semi-ring, but the two ends of this semi-ring seem to have been cut off, and the original appearance seems to be a circle.
"Didn't find your partner?"
"Nope." He said: "County Zun, look at this fracture, it has been formed for at least more than a few decades, and it is not broken now." ”
"Keep it as evidence!" Wu Qiubei sighed and said: "This case has killed four people, and it involves the theft of graves, and I am afraid that this is only a cemetery, and the origin will not be too small, report it to the top, write the situation in detail, forget it, I will write this matter myself." ”
Thinking that the owner of this tomb is very likely to be related to the current royal family, Wu Qiubei was a little helpless, this is really a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven.
"Taopu, all the arrests in the county, all of them are dispatched, and they are set up to search, these people should not have escaped from our county." On the way back, Wu Qiubei ordered: "It would be best if you could catch someone." ”
"Yes, county honor!" Tao Pu agreed happily in his mouth, but secretly complained in his heart, such a group of outlaws, if they really want to run into it, that is fatal.
"I'm afraid these people are some outlaws, and the county is short of manpower, so I will ask the county lieutenant to mobilize a group of militia to be dispatched by you." Wu Qiubei thought about it and said again.
"Thank you, county!" Tao Pu was overjoyed, "County Zun, can you ask Liu Santong from Shanjiao Town to bring their militia over to help me?" ”
"Liu Santong? Do you know this person? ”
"I heard that this person used to be a general in the Pinglu Army, that kind of kung fu, ordinary three or five strong men can't get close to him at all, these tomb robbers are all outlaws, and I don't know how many people's blood is dyed on their hands, there is such a person to suppress the formation, and the subordinates are only properly in their hearts!"
"Okay, then I'll ask the county lieutenant to transfer this person over." Wu Qiubei knew who Liu Santong was, and this person had also been told by the boss to pay special attention.
