So the group first rushed to the nearest village where the stolen tomb was located. I found the village of this village. Of course, Muramasa knew Judge Luo, and the news was blocked in ancient times, although Justice Luo had arrived in the neighboring village, but this Muramasa did not get the news, so he was very surprised and was busy accusing him. After hearing their intentions, he quickly led them to the house where the tomb was stolen to inquire about the situation.

After inquiry, I learned that an old woman was buried in this tomb, and it had been five or six years since she died of illness. Two months ago, someone found a hole in her grave, so they quickly told their family, and their children and grandchildren climbed into the cave to see, only to find that the coffin buried in it had also been dug a big hole, and the relics in the coffin were gone, along with the bones. This family is just ordinary ordinary people, and there are no valuable funeral goods, they are all some clothes, copper and iron jewelry used by the old woman in front of her. I didn't expect it to be stolen, and it is estimated that the tomb robbers are pursuing the creed of not returning empty-handed, although the collection is worthless, and they also took it away.

This family is just ordinary people, they are born afraid of officials, this kind of thing can only consider themselves unlucky, and they didn't expect to go to the yamen to report to the official. I heard the story of the ghost king's choice of concubine, so I believed it to be true, so I plugged the thief hole again, and made a memorial again, so I didn't care about this matter anymore, but I didn't expect the yamen to take the initiative to find it.

Lu Jinping proposed to reopen the thief hole and go in to investigate, and the family seemed to be a little unhappy. But he didn't dare to say it, so he nodded honestly and agreed, followed them to the cemetery, and dug up the hole in the grave again.

Lu Jinping climbed in and found that there was no burial chamber inside, the coffin had been dug a big hole, and he looked at it with an ultraviolet laser physical evidence detector, and found that there was a stinky futon in the coffin, the bones were gone, and there was no abnormal fluorescent reflection in the coffin.

Before Lu Jinping came in, he checked the cave wall and found no strange traces, so he had to retreat and order the thief cave to be sealed.

Lu Jinping and the others immediately rushed to the village where the second grave was stolen. This family is also a poor ordinary villager, the deceased is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, and the family has also heard the story of the ghost king's choice of concubine, and they all hope that the deceased family can choose to be the concubine of the ghost king, then they can protect the family.

When his family heard that the yamen was going to reopen the cave for inspection, the boss was also unhappy, but he didn't dare to offend the yamen, so he had to agree. After the cave was opened, Lu Jinping climbed in to check it himself, the deceased buried in this tomb had been dead for more than ten years, and he found no remains in the empty coffin, except for a small fragment of scattered phalanges, nor did he find any abnormal traces.

Could it be that this female ghost rushed in a panic in order to participate in the ghost king's concubine selection contest, and even toes were knocked off?

Of course Lu Jinping will not believe in the story of the ghost king's choice of concubine, judging from the situation of the tomb, it is obvious that it was dug in from the outside, which shows that the tomb robbers outside dug the tomb into the tomb rather than the bones inside and drilled out, such a simple truth, but the common people just don't pay attention, they would rather believe in the legend of the ghost king's choice of concubine.

No useful traces have been found in this tomb either, and it is clear that the robbers were wearing gloves and left no unusual traces.

Nothing was found in two tombs in a row, which made Lu Jinping feel a little frustrated, and there was only one last target left, and when they arrived at the village where the third tomb was stolen, it was already dark.

And this time, they came across a thorn in the head.

The owner of this robbed tomb is a local rich man, and the ancestor of this rich man used to be a county lieutenant in the Sui Dynasty, although it was a hundred or two hundred years ago, but this family is proud of it, and the bull is so angry that it does not give Luo Justice any face at all.

The tomb was buried in a seventy-year-old woman, the mother of the rich man Wang, who also heard rumors about the ghost king's choice of concubine, but of course the old lady did not believe it, and believed that the tomb had been robbed, so he reported to the official. However, the government was helpless against this case, and his ancestor who had served as a county lieutenant in the Sui Dynasty a hundred or two hundred years ago did not bring them much power, and the yamen ignored his arrogance, which caused him to resist the yamen to a certain extent. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the remote mountain village has developed the unruly character of this rich man. When he learned that the yamen was going to reopen the thief cave to check, the old lady Wang flatly refused, and gave an eviction order with a very bad face.

This angered Luo Justice, so he ordered to forcibly open the robbery hole. But this old lady Wang is not a vegetarian, and as soon as the order was given, dozens of relatives immediately came, holding hoes and sickles, and surrounded the people of the yamen.

Luo Judicial saw that if he came by force, he was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he did not order the robbery hole to be forcibly opened, but patiently did the work of the old lady. But the old lady still refused to live or die, and resolutely refused to re-dig the hole.

Lu Jinping immediately said to Luo Justice: "Forget it, since people don't agree, let's not force it." Their graves were stolen, and they were also victims, and naturally they could not be used casually against the victims. ”

Luo Zhengyi happened to go down the steps, muttered a few words angrily, and withdrew from the village with the people.

When they returned to Yunshan Village, it was almost late at night. I haven't eaten yet, I'm tired and tired, so I hurriedly picked up the lamp and went to the banquet.

The squires of Yunshan Village, with their respective wives and concubines, came over to toast Lu Jinping. It was the first time for Luo Jinping to drink alone with Lu Jinping, so he was also very polite, after all, Lu Jinping was doing him a favor, and this time, Lu Jinping drank a lot of wine, and he was already dizzy when the banquet was over.

That night, they stayed in Li Cunzheng's house. This Li Village is not a rich and noble family, but there is an advantage of a rural house, that is, there are many rooms in the place, so there is no place to live.

Li Cunzheng's wife and concubine personally called hot water, and after Ye Qingqing dressed Lu Jinping and washed his feet and face, those people withdrew from the house and closed the door.

Lu Jinping did not strip and go to bed like before, but put on his boots again. Ye Qingqing was a little puzzled and asked, "Sir, where are you going?" ”

Lu Jinping said: "Let's go, let's take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to explore the tomb of the old lady Wang's mother at night, and he won't let us dig the thief hole to enter, so we can only dig it quietly and drill in." ”

When Ye Qingqing heard that he wanted to explore the grave at night and climb into the grave, he couldn't help but shudder, and his pretty face turned white.

She has martial arts, and she doesn't care if she fights with others. However, women have a common problem, that is, they are afraid of ghosts. It makes people shudder to think about going to the grave at night, and going into the grave.

Lu Jinping looked at her pale, and said with a smile: "You little girl, are you scared?" Okay, then you can go to bed first, I'll go alone. ”

"Sir, what you say, Qingqing naturally wants to go with you. It's just that we can wait until dawn to go? Anyway, the grave is a bit far away from the village, so the people in the village may not be able to see us. ”

Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "If you go at dawn, it is inevitable that someone will see it, and this risk cannot be taken." That Lord Wang has a big family, and if he is angry, it will be very troublesome. But we went secretly at night, and as long as he didn't find out, even if he knew that someone had dug a hole and gone in, he couldn't help us. Because he had no proof, we had to go at night. ”

Ye Qingqing saw that Lu Jinping's posture was indispensable, so he had to nod his head.

Lu Jinping said: "You go and steal a small hoe, be careful not to let people find out." ”

This is not a problem for Ye Qingqing. Soon, she came back with a short hoe. Carrying the survey box on his back, he took Lu Jinping out of the wall with Lu Jinping on a zipline, left the Li family's compound, and went straight to Mrs. Wang's village.

During the day they ride horses and are relatively fast, but at night they are not good at leading horses and can only walk. Fortunately, the moonlight was very clear this night, and the surroundings were bright and shining. However, when this kind of moonlight is absent, it can be seen farther away, and the shadows of various trees, hills or nocturnal animals in the distance are easy to relate, and all kinds of sounds are easier to frighten people. Lu Jinping didn't care at all, just strode forward, but Ye Qingqing was so frightened that her face turned pale, she grabbed Lu Jinping's arm tightly, broke out in a cold sweat, and didn't dare to fall half a step, it seemed that following this weak scholar made her feel steady.
