Chapter 569: The Tomb
Beibi Mountain is a good place, the whole mountain range is relatively flat, there are not many big ups and downs, and it is located on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Feng Shui is an excellent place to stay.
There is no idle soil on the mountain, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, the original tomb of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, the Sima clan of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the queen of Chen of the Southern Dynasty, these great figures of the past dynasties have chosen their places to live here after their deaths.
Therefore, on the top of the mountain, take a few steps casually, dig a dig, and maybe you can dig out a tomb.
There are big people, and there are ordinary people.
But at the moment, apparently no one cares about this.
At the foot of the Beibi Mountain, a group of four or five hundred soldiers, with dozens of ordinary people, hurried to the road.
"This is here, I saw him sneaking out here." A common man pointed to a mountain path and said with great certainty.
"Scatter and check, he shouldn't be able to go too far alone, don't miss anywhere!" Yu Ban waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to start moving.
Yu Ban is just a battalion commander, and this kind of task does not need to be done by those big people in person.
Of course, this is also done by the army.
Among these dozens of people, there were those who saw Zhou Tai come out of here, those who saw the three of them at the end, and Wang Ping, who was originally from Zhou Tai's team.
And a series of clues, or what can be seen as evidence, all began to point to Zhou Tai.
The confessions of these people can be said to be in the opposite direction, for example, now, some people have seen Zhou Tai coming down from the north mountain to the south, and some people have seen the three of them appear in the south, one south and one north, two completely different places, and the time is probably right.
But the question is, since Zhou Tai has already arrived in Beibi Mountain, why don't he continue to hide? Instead, go up the mountain and come down? And then caught?
This is not far from the location where Zhou Tai was arrested, only about two or three miles away, and a pair of eyes can clearly see Beibi Mountain.
"Battalion Commander ......"
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the soldier's face was a little helpless, Yu Ban had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Battalion commander, you'd better come up and take a look for yourself, this thing is a bit difficult......" The soldier pointed to it, Feng Shui treasure, is it so simple?
Most of the people in the vicinity chose to bury the deceased on the mountain, and the mausoleum area of the mountain has basically formed a scale now, and it is divided into several different types.
Dignitaries and nobles, if they are rich, they have a separate place, and the decoration is also very good, and there are even people guarding it.
Most of the people in the vicinity choose a hill for a village, and after the people of their own village die, they are buried on this piece of land, while the others have the meaning of mass graves.
What kind of people are buried inside, and no one can even tell whose tomb this is and when it is?
Climbing this not very high mountain is only a moment for the military.
However, after climbing the mountain, Yu Ban was dumbfounded......
As far as the eye can see, there are three or four hundred graves, which are relatively neat, but you can also see some messy places.
Of course, this is also related to feng shui, when buried, the direction is different, and it is normal to have some chaos.
At this time, no one will care if this is a cemetery or not, there are not so many rules and so on.
In addition, there is land nearby, why not be buried according to the direction explained by Mr. Feng Shui?
Whoever dares to stop this kind of thing will not be a family matter, but the entire village, and even people from nearby villages will come out to denounce it.
"This ......" Yu Ban understood why it was so difficult for his soldiers to do it, because it was also difficult for him to do it now.
After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask, "Have you found a new tomb?" ”
There is a clear difference between the new tomb and the old tomb, from the appearance, the soil layer on the new tomb is more moist, the color is heavier, and the tomb bag is also higher, the old tomb because of time, plus its own corrosion problem, so the tomb bag will be lower and lower year by year, and finally directly become flat ground.
The protruding grave bags were sunk and mud had crept through the cracks in the coffin.
New graves and old graves, as long as the eyes are okay, can be seen at a glance, some experienced people can even judge the approximate age of a tomb, and this can be judged only from the surface of the soil.
"I found it, there are many, almost a dozen." The soldier stretched out his finger.
The locations of these new graves are scattered around, both on the edge and on the inside.
But no matter where these new graves are, it is obviously impossible for them to dig up the graves to see who is buried inside.
Even if they are officers and soldiers and are investigating cases, this kind of behavior is prohibited.
Digging people's ancestral graves is described as cutting off people's descendants, if this kind of thing really makes trouble, even the court will not dare to blatantly face them.
But you can't help but dig, this is the most depressing.
Yu Jin looked around more than a dozen new graves one by one, some of them were obvious, they were only recently put into the ground, and some seemed to have been in the ground for a while, but this time was not long.
This makes it very difficult for Yu Ban to do, unless all these tombs are dug up, otherwise it will be difficult to find Song and Liang now.
"Battalion Commander Yu, you can't dig!" Wang Ping stood up hard.
Even if the current situation is in his favor, he must stand up and stop it at this time.
Although Wang Ping also saw Yu Ban's hesitation, although Wang Ping had never been a soldier, but for a soldier, for a person who often dealt with soldiers, Wang Ping still knew these soldiers too well, and decided to dig graves, it was only a matter of time.
But once the grave is dug up, the consequences are not something they can bear.
"It's not that it can't be dug up, but it can't be dug now, looking at the scale of the grave here, it should be a certain big family, or a certain village's burial ground, once it is dug up, this matter will be big. Battalion Commander Yu might as well send someone to each village to ask which village this grave belongs to? Then let their villagers come up one by one to identify whether it is their own tomb or not, these people know in their hearts. It was obviously useless to stop it, and Wang Ping immediately said the way.
Although it is more time-consuming than direct excavation, it is more secure to do so, and there is no shortage of time to investigate the case.
If the tombs can be placed here, they will not be too far away, and looking at the scale, it should not be a small village, so the goal is very clear, go directly to the big village to find it, or ask about the nearest village.
"First company, send a team of people down the mountain to the nearby village to ask, and the rest of the people will look for it nearby to see if there are any traces of fighting, especially blood, two, three, four companies, continue to search nearby!" Yu Ban nodded and commanded directly towards the troops.
He didn't want to cause too much trouble, and such a headless fly-like digging could not be guaranteed, but would cause fire.
Wang Ping's method was a good solution, so he decided to use this method.
The efficiency of the army's actions is unmatched by anyone, and as soon as the order is given, there is hardly any need to organize it, and each of them disperses according to the order to carry it out.
Looking for traces of a fight, blood scattered on the ground, this is the most normal thing for the army.
Especially for the reconnaissance troops, it is as enjoyable as a fish in water.
They themselves have to learn the skills of tracking, how to judge the enemy's position by the ground tracks, which is also an important subject.
However, after a search, Yu Ban received a very depressing answer.
There was no trace of blood left nearby, nor was there any trace of a fight.
The tombs have a road, fighting on the road, naturally there are no traces, even if there are, it is also a very subtle trace, the flow of people goes on two more trips, or wait a few days, the wind and the sun are blowing, these traces are gone.
At this time, almost ten days have passed since the day of the incident, and in ten days, anything can happen.
Even if the blood is dripping here, it is difficult to find any traces of its existence after ten days.
Finding the target through the traces is obviously a little ineffective.
After waiting for about an hour, a group of people finally appeared at the bottom of the mountain.
The group of soldiers who had been sent to find people, with thousands of men, women, and children, was slowly walking towards the mountain.
And looking at such a big battle, Yu Ban was also a little depressed, but he seemed to be able to understand.
After all, their ancestral graves are surrounded, and the whole village of men, women and children go out together, is there anything wrong with this?
"Report to the battalion commander, this is Li Zheng of Mangxia Village, and he is also their patriarch." The captain gave a general introduction.
"Old Qin Zhi, I've seen the battalion commander!" Qin Zhi said flattering words, but there was no movement on his body, of course, no one could find fault with him doing this, because Qin was in his sixties this year, and he was still on crutches, he was qualified and had the right to see officials and not worship.
"Qin Lizheng is polite, have you told Qin Lizheng everything?" Yu Ban looked at his captain.
"This soldier has already told Lao Yu, so Lao Yu has delayed some time, in order to gather the whole village, so as not to miss the military affairs of the battalion commander." Qin Zhi responded directly.
He himself is Lizheng, although he is not an official, but this identity is recognized by the imperial court, so at this time, even if he is unwilling, he has to come out to cooperate, but if the army wants to do something excessive, he must also stand up and stop it.
"Let's get started." Yu Ban nodded, and arched his hand towards Qin Zhi: "There is Lao Qinli who is asking the people to make a mark in front of their own tombs. ”
"Good!" Qin Zhi nodded, then turned around, and with the support of the two juniors, he talked to the thousands of men, women, and children about what he was going to do next.
The crowd quickly moved, there was no aimless search, where is their ancestral grave, their own family members are very clear, go straight to the destination, make a mark or something to save it, simply stand in front of their ancestral grave, this is the best mark.
