Chinese New Year to the Lantern Festival, this is the happiest day of the year for the people of the Ming Dynasty, the hard-working and intelligent people, will find a way to treat themselves and their families, so that they are lively and happy every day, and the government and the gentry will also hold various activities to whitewash the peace.

On the eleventh day of the first month, the atmosphere of the New Year has just faded, but the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival has made the people of Daming excited.

When it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, there are lights everywhere, everyone has taken to the streets, watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, joining in the fun, young men and women, will also dress up and go to the street, looking forward to adding a good story of love at first sight of a talented and beautiful woman.

Compared with the festive and joyful atmosphere during the New Year, the atmosphere in the Jinshan area is always so bleak, lonely and desolate, because this is the resting place of the deceased, and the prosperity and liveliness of the world can never be felt again for these people who sleep underground.

Of course, these deceased royals are not lonely, because they are accompanied by the Xiaoling guard, to be precise, the Xiaoling guard.

Cheng Dachang is a general banner of the Xiaoling guard.

"Grandma's, Lao Tzu has been around for a day during the day, why does the surname Zhang say that he changed with Lao Tzu, it's not that he cares about playing with money, and he really beat his dog blind with one punch." Cheng Dachang led a small team of people to inspect and said with a scolding.

Although the treatment of Shoujin Mountain is a little worse, there is a little advantage, that is, the requirements are not very strict, and it is okay to talk and complain on the road, unlike inspecting the imperial tomb, which is strictly forbidden to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the peace of the former emperor.

"Big brother, bear with it" A henchman named Xiaole said helplessly: "Who called Lord Baihu is his brother-in-law, let's see the love of Lord Baihu." ”

"Yes, yes, the luck of the surnamed Zhang is not good, maybe we will go back after the patrol. That kid has lost his ass. Another subordinate named Ah Quan was also on the side to persuade him.

Xiao Le handed over a wine gourd: "In the middle of the night, this wind is evil, big brother, take a sip, and leave again." ”

Cheng Dachang heard the persuasion of his subordinates, and felt much better. Haha smiled, took the wine gourd and poured a big sip, then nodded and said: "Okay, brothers, after this round, I will invite the brothers to drink wine and eat meat, and we will also have a good time." ”

"Big brother is righteous"

"Listen to Big Brother"

"Brothers, keep your eyes open and see if there are any hares and pheasants or something. Get some and go back to the snacks. ”

After a small episode, Cheng Dachang led his subordinates to continue the inspection.

Since the establishment of the capital in Beijing, Jinshan has buried a lot of members of the royal family, the scope is not small, the road is not easy to walk at night, and it takes more than an hour to patrol the area under their own jurisdiction.

For the sake of snacks, everyone is much more serious. I can't help but look around, it's a cold day. These beasts are all cold, as long as they find it, one catches one accurately, Xiaolingwei has no entertainment on weekdays, so they hunt and fight tooth sacrifices.

"Hey, is this a dazzle after only two sips of wine?" Xiaole muttered to himself. He pinched his thigh.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly found a fire in the distance, flashing and flickering, looking quite slight, Xiaole once suspected that he was drunk and dazed.

Just handed the wine gourd to Cheng Dachang. When he came back, Xiaole also took the opportunity to take two big mouthfuls.

No, there is a situation!

Xiaole pinched himself, almost grinning in pain, which made him sure that he was not drunk, but that something was happening.

"Big, big brother, there's a situation." Xiaole took two steps faster, grabbed Cheng Dachang and whispered.

"Where?" Cheng Dachang felt a thrill in his heart, and immediately asked.

Xiao Le didn't speak, and pointed in the direction of the firelight.

Cheng Dachang turned his head to look, that's right, there is an inconspicuous fire, full of shadows, if you don't take it seriously, you really haven't seen it, seeing that there is a situation, the whole person is excited, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brothers, be quiet, surround it." ”

If it was an ordinary person, they would have been so frightened that their faces were bloodless, but Cheng Dachang and others were inspecting the tombs, and their courage had already been practiced, and they had also heard the old man talk about some mausoleums, in their eyes, this was not weird, but an opportunity.

If someone is caught robbing a tomb or something, it will be a great achievement immediately, and then the promotion will be a fortune, just around the corner.

Come to dig the grave during the Chinese New Year, creative, Cheng Dachang made a few gestures to his subordinates, and a team of people quietly touched it.

Close, close, about a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Dachang led people to quietly touch the point of the incident.

To the surprise of Cheng Dachang and others, the incident point was not digging a grave and robbing the grave, but an elderly man, who was turning into an ingots candle and chattering about something.

It looks like it's a sacrifice.

Worship is generally done during the day, where is there a night worship? What's even more puzzling is that he worships the grave of Concubine Du Kang.

"Take it!" didn't think so much, Cheng Dachang gave an order and rushed out first.

The old man was startled and got up from the ground to run, but before he could get up, he was caught by the nimble soldier and pressed to the ground.

"Bold, who dares to break into the gold mountain at night!" Cheng Dachang shouted loudly.

At this time, some of his subordinates lit torches, and under the firelight, the old man's face was like ashes, but he still tried to squeeze out a smile and stammered: "On the night of the army, my old man drank too much horse urine, please raise your noble hand and spare this time, the small, the small one is good." ”

Cheng Dachang sneered and said, "Oh, drink too much? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, as soon as I am happy, I drink too much."

"It's rare, others are drunk and crazy, it's better for you to go to Jinshan to worship."

At this time, Xiao Le, who was in charge of the search, came over and put a bag of things in front of Cheng Dachang: "Big brother, there is a situation with this cheap bone." ”

Judging from the old man's clothing, he should have dug up a tomb, dug up a lot of goods, and there were a few letters in it.

Xiaole scolded on the side: "Talent, don't stop for the New Year, you are very fat, you went to Jinshan to make trouble, how many heads do you have?" Say, dig that grave? ”

"Master Jun, no, I really didn't dig the grave"

"And where did you get what you got in your hands?"

"Back to the words of the military master, ancestor, ancestor handed down."

Xiaole sneered and said: "I can't see that you are quite filial, why, even if you are drunk, you don't forget to bring the treasure handed down from your ancestors?" ”

Jade pendants, headdresses, white jade bracelets, etc., each one is extremely exquisite, I don't know the ordinary product at a glance, Cheng Dachang is playing with those treasures in his hand, while secretly thinking that he caught a big fish this time, this can be regarded as a great achievement, seeing that there is a letter, Cheng Dachang opened it at will, and looked at it with interest.

Slowly, Cheng Dachang's face became whiter and whiter, cold sweat began to flow down his forehead, and the hand holding the letter began to tremble.

"Big brother, you, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Ah Quan noticed Cheng Dachang's strange appearance and hurriedly asked.

Cheng Dachang didn't respond to his subordinates' words, slapped himself suddenly, and then looked at the letter, while reading the letter, while looking at the goods on the ground, and finally looked at the old man's clothes, which were a little shabby, but cleanly washed.

His face had gotten worse.

Xiaole also saw that Cheng Dachang's face was not good, turned his head and said with concern: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

Cheng Dachang trembled and packed the letter, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Quick, tie this person up, plug his mouth with a cloth, Xiaole, you take the two of you to watch him, you can't let him talk to anyone, and no one is allowed to approach him." ”

"Yes, sir." Hearing that his boss was so dignified, Xiaole was also startled and hurriedly responded.

"Ah Quan" Cheng Dachang immediately shouted again.

"The little one is in"

"You go and invite Chen Baihu immediately, no, you go directly to ask the commander of the guard, Master Zhang, and ask him to come to the barracks quickly, and say that there is an urgent matter to discuss with him."

"Yes, Lord Banner."

After Ah Quan left, seeing that his subordinates were about to ask questions, Cheng Dachang waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't ask, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, remember it for Lao Tzu, if you want to live, your mouth will be tighter for me, no one is allowed to say it, tonight's matter, it is better to rot in the stomach." ”

The people buried here are all members of the royal family, and the people involved are all royal secrets, and if this kind of thing is touched, they will be punished at least and will be punished at worst, and they will be in a big disaster, and everyone knows that it is powerful, and they are all silent at once.

Seeing the old man who was tied up in brown and carried away by his subordinates, Cheng Dachang's face suddenly became complicated: I thought it was a case that could be promoted and made rich, but I didn't expect it to suddenly become a hot potato.

Let's hope I can get away with this. (To be continued.) )
