Shen Qiaoan didn't know what happened to General Cheng, let alone where they could go, at this moment, a large group of peasants appeared in all directions, such a group of people came like a storm, and they all held farm tools in their hands.

They gradually narrowed the encirclement, and Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan were wrapped in this cemetery.

Shen Qiaoan was afraid that Li Zhongxuan would intensify the contradiction as soon as he opened his mouth, so he hurriedly rushed out, "Lizheng! What do you say, let's borrow farm tools, why are you looking for such a group of people to deal with us? ”

Li Zheng coughed, and Tie Qing smacked the crutches in his hand with a strong face, "Who are you, openly robbing the tomb, Lord Chen has been resting in peace for more than twenty years, and I tell you the truth, there is no gold, silver and jewelry in this tomb!" ”

"Lord Chen is wronged, he has always had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he is reluctant to buy a pillow, or a stone picked up from the river! I advise you not to dig graves here, or we will break you to pieces!" ”

"Get rid of them! Drive them away! Someone with a hoe roared heroically.

Someone said coldly: "No! They must have accomplices, folks, let's kill them and bury them here, and God won't know it! ”

As soon as this person reminded him, everyone nodded, hoes, sickles, and various farm tools rushed up, Li Zhongxuan saw this situation, and knew that there must be more and less luck in the future, so he hurriedly protected Qiao An's body.

He was like a huge umbrella, shielding him from danger.

Everyone's farm tools fell down together, and at this moment, Li Zheng hissed: "Slow! Wait! ”

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng wiped his eyes and took his golden turtle from Li Zhongxuan's body, there was still a fierce light in his eyes, "Dare to ask the guest, are you an official of the imperial court?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhong preached.

"What official position?" The anger of hatred in the old man's eyes gradually extinguished, and even a little soft, Li Zhongxuan drove the donkey down the slope, "I am Dali Siqing!" ”

"Dali Siqing? Can the case be decided? The old man's voice was trembling, Li Zhongxuan was about to speak, and the people next to him were unhappy, "Master Lizheng, they are liars!" Don't trust them! ”

Someone held Li Zhongxuan's golden turtle and threw it in the lush grass in the distance.

Then the farm implements smashed down again, and Joan struggled out and said to the angry people, "Everyone! Please don't be impatient! We are from the imperial court, we are investigating the case, let's dig this grave, if there is really no problem, we will not resist what you want to do to us! ”

There was thinking for a moment, and the grim gaze was coldly shrouded in Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan, "Okay! If you really want to be from Dali Temple, if you can judge the case, we will let you dig it! But if you can't give us an answer later, we're not going to be kind to you! ”

"I know." Shen Qiaoan tidied up his clothes, "By the way, what about my friend, what did you do to him?" ”

A quarter of an hour later, someone pushed and shoved and sent General Cheng to the cemetery.

Li Zheng pointed to the tomb of the statement, "Young Master Chen has been dead for more than ten years, you have to say that there is nothing below, you dig it, once the bones of the young master are dug up, we will kill you here today, it can be regarded as an apology to the young master, you should have nothing to say, right?" ”

"This!" The stakes are too big, and General Cheng is a little afraid.

"Joan, how can you be honest?" General Cheng looked at Qiao An in annoyance, and Shen Qiao An sighed.

"If I don't believe it, at this moment, you and Brother Zhongxuan have become dead souls, anyway, you will die horizontally and vertically, and you will gamble!" Joan pointed to the grave.

"Give us farm tools, and we'll dig." Li Zhongxuan immediately said that this group of villagers is not easy to talk to, and they will change their minds.

Once this happens, it is very likely that they will not even have the opportunity to open the coffin for an autopsy.

"Wait!" Li Zheng said coldly: "Now I have signed this life and death contract, so as not to be unclear when I get it!" ”

"Pact of life and death?" General Cheng's eyes widened with round copper bells, "Joan, this time we are really going to be finished." ”

"Don't be afraid." Shen Qiao'an patted General Cheng's shoulder, but in fact, it was Qiao An himself who had the most no bottom.

Li Zheng drafted a life and death deed and sent it to them, Li Zhongxuan signed his name, Qiao An and General Cheng also signed, and then the three of them excavated, and everyone saw that their progress was too slow, and someone actually helped.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the coffin was unearthed, and everyone shouted to kill them, General Cheng was frightened, and his fingers trembled and pointed to the coffin, "What should I do with this?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this has come to this, please give us a chance!" Li Zhongxuan made a gesture to everyone, and everyone saw that they had a humble attitude, and let them continue to dig in the end.

Qiao An wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead and found an iron pickaxe, Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng glanced at each other, and the two of them held the iron pickaxe together.

The crowd held their breath and stared at them.

There was a loud bang, the coffin opened, and everyone saw a corpse inside.

Seeing this, the faces of the three people were like ashes!

Li Zhongxuan continued to observe, and Li Zheng had already ordered someone to step forward and cover the coffin.

Finished!

General Cheng looked at Shen Qiao'an, Shen Qiao'an looked at Li Zhongxuan, none of them expected that things would be like this.

"Now, the contract of life and death has been signed, I'm sorry everyone." Rizheng gestured to the crowd and turned around slowly.

The crowd brandished farm tools and killed them together. Li Zhongxuan waved his arm, stretched his long arm, and there was an elderly man in the crowd, asking, "What else does this son have to say?" ”

"Lord Lizheng, I can only see that there is indeed a corpse in the coffin at a quick glance just now, but whether the corpse is a man or a woman, whether it is a statement or the rest of the people is unknown, the matter has come to this, you can't let us die in vain, therefore, let's take another look!"

"Good!" Li Zheng turned around, held the crutches hard, and said coldly: "I really don't cry if I don't see the coffin, and I don't give up until I don't see the Yellow River!" If you want to see it, you can simply see it! ”

There was leading everyone forward, Li Zhongxuan opened the coffin again, Qiao An looked at the bones in the coffin, his eyes became more and more complicated, General Cheng's face was like ashes, but Li Zhongxuan smiled happily.

"Enough of it?" The crowd roared.

"Lizheng!" Li Zhongxuan pointed to the corpse's teeth, "You guys also come over to take a look, this corpse has a mouthful of tooth decay, how can it be a young man?" And this back molar, take a look. As soon as Li Zhongxuan said this, everyone approached to take a look.

After looking at it, they immediately understood that it was the bones of the old man.

"So, the corpse in this grave may not be the little master!" Everyone also sighed.

There was a solemn expression, and after observing again, he nodded slightly, "You have all seen it, this corpse is indeed not a little young master, it's just that!" Whoever it is, let him be buried in peace. Li Zheng ordered the people to bury the coffin.

After everything was finished, Li Zheng signaled everyone to disperse, and everyone went their separate ways, and they all left.

At this moment, the Lord Zheng there sighed slightly, stared at Li Zhongxuan with his eyes, and said quietly: "You really came from the imperial court, Dali Temple?" ”

"Yes!" It's not a lie.

The old man looked at Qiao An and General Cheng, twisted his beard and said, "What about them?" ”

"They're my deputies." Li Zhongxuan looked at Qiao An and General Cheng, and the two nodded.

The old man was silent for a long time, and said: "When Master Chen was a Beijing official, he paved countless roads for me to build bridges in Wannian County, and he himself would rather deduct himself for the benefit of the people, and now the grave under your feet is actually the site of their house." ”

Everyone was walking forward with this, Li Zhongxuan roughly measured it with his footsteps, and found that the original homestead area on this tomb would not be very large, which made Li Zhongxuan a little curious.

"I know what you're asking, Housheng, you want to ask how the family lived in such a small house?" There was a moment of reminiscence, "Their family lived happily, although the cloth was silky, but it was indeed happy. Lord Chen was an honest official, but in the end he died. ”

"Why?" Li Zhongxuan frowned.

"After Lord Chen stepped down, he came back from southern Fujian, and he brought a wagon of barley kernels, which is a crop that we don't have in the north! Master Chen found that this barley kernel is good for digestion and good for people's health, so he is ready to try to see if I can grow it in the north! ”

This old man seemed to know a lot about Lord Chen, and he couldn't help but let Qiao An take a look at him more.

Li Zheng said again: "Later, Zhuge Qingyun, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, killed him by mistake!" When Li Zhongxuan and Qiao An heard this, they were all curious.

How could a person with two sleeves and a clean breeze and a righteous body be killed by mistake? Why did such an honest and honest good official die unexpectedly.

"Why did the Longtu Pavilion scholar kill Lord Chen by mistake?" Li Zhongxuan broke the clay pot and asked to the end.

"Someone reported Lord Chen, saying that what Lord Chen brought back from southern Fujian was not barley kernels, but pearls." Rimasa sighed.

"After killing Lord Chen by mistake, what about the Longtu Pavilion Scholar, do you know that it is wrong?"

"That Longtuge University Scholar naturally knows that he is wrong, and I will tell you here that Longtuge University Scholar and Master Chen have a good relationship! It was also because of the accidental killing of Lord Chen that the university scholar committed suicide by swallowing gold! ”

Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that there was such a story of ups and downs, after hearing this story, General Cheng was furious, "Bird! They are all dead, what happens next? Isn't it over? Who will handle it impartially? ”

"Actually, Master Chen impeached the traitor in his early years, and the traitor held a grudge, so it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone to cause such a storm after he left office! Lord Chen's family was killed, although it was a manslaughter, but it was too cruel in the end. ”

"We're going to find the traitor!"

"Over the years, even if this person is in the world, he is seventy or eighty years old, looking for it? What's the use of finding it? "But I still hope you find him, he has killed so many people alone!" ”

"We're going to find him, and I'm going to ask you to tell us anything you know." Li Zhongxuan approached the old man and helped him sit on the stone mill next to him.

Li Zheng burst into tears, "Back then, the young master was just a child of twelve or thirteen years old, and they all said that the young master was also killed, but I knew that the young master was not dead!" Before the arrival of the army of raiders, an old servant went to die instead of the little master, and this is what you just saw. ”

When the old man said this, Li Zhongxuan and Qiao An finally understood that he knew everything by heart.

But Joan wondered, why did he make things difficult for them in all sorts of ways?

"Who are you?" Qiao An stammered, "Who are you from Lord Chen?" Is it just an old man? ”

"Nope! Girl! The old man slowly lifted his trousers and tapped his calf with his cane, and they heard a muffled sound, and it was empty!

"I am Lord Chen's domestic servant, and I can prove his innocence! On that day, I knew about the incident in the east window and was ready to protect the little young master to leave, but there was a shortage of soldiers on the road, and I lost the little young master! I had my calf broken, and they saw that I was old, and these beasts threw me off the cliff, and I died. ”
