She ...... She too?! ”

Su Xiaozhou recovered from Li Yu's words for a long time.

Mrs. Wu, who was so sick on the couch that she couldn't get up, but when she made a move, she was a descendant of the tomb robbing family, just like her husband Wu Fenglin.

Fortunately, Li Yu was on guard, otherwise the flying needle just now would have been blind if he didn't die.

She shuddered, and said, "Mingren doesn't say dark words. Did your husband steal the imperial tomb? Don't worry, I'm not from Jingzhao Yin Mansion, let alone arresting him, I just want to know what he stole from? ”

"We didn't take anything!" Mrs. Wu replied stiffly.

didn't expect the matter to come to this, she still refused to admit it. However, such a denial is not clever at all. admits to entering the imperial tomb, but doesn't take anything, is it to play?

Su Xiaozhou was not in a hurry to expose it, and asked again: "Has it damaged His Majesty Gaozu's imperial body?" ”

"What...... Gaozu? ”

Mrs. Wu was visibly stunned, "I don't know what you're talking about. We did go to the Imperial Tomb, but that was ten years ago. Moreover, we are under the Tailing Tomb in Xianyang, which is far from the dedication of His Majesty Gaozu. ”

"Ten years ago?"

Su Xiaozhou and Li Yu were stunned.

Disastrous! Ten years ago, the couple also stole the imperial tombs of Emperor Wen and Empress Dugu of the former dynasty!

It's really capable! The theft of the Mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu must have something to do with them!

Mrs. Wu continued: "We entered Tailing to collect the remains of Fenglin's father, and we really didn't take any belongings. ”

has admitted to the grave, but not to the nuggets, maybe she is telling the truth.

Wu Fenglin's father is Mr. Wu, the tomb robber who helped the Wen family find the manuscript of the "elixir of immortality", but failed to return.

He actually died in the Tailing of the previous dynasty!

Su Xiaozhou's heart tightened, and his breathing became heavier, as if he was one step closer to the "immortal medicine".

……

"Where did you get the painting that Momo took to the black gold shop to sell?" Li Yu asked bluntly.

Mrs. Wu was stunned, "Momo went to the black gold shop to sell paintings?" ”

After a moment of silence, she finally said: "Feng Lin is good at Danqing, but because of the relationship between the old master, he didn't leave any manuscripts, and only collected some favorite calligraphy and paintings when he had enough money at hand. Over the years, my illness has become more and more serious, and his collection has been sold almost for medical treatment and medication. On the day of the Duanyang Festival, he suddenly left home and has not returned since. I can't walk, I can only do some simple needlework at home, Momo is still a child, and it is a problem for both of them to live, let alone take medicine. So, Momo began to sell things. As for why he went to the black gold shop to sell paintings, I don't know. When he comes back, just ask him directly. ”

Su Xiaozhou nodded, looking at the traces of life in this house, it should have been emptied little by little.

Momo would go to the black gold shop to sell paintings, and probably knew that the painting came from the wrong way. He obviously knew more about what his father was doing than his mother.

"Mrs. Wu, did your husband say what he was doing on the day he left home? Do you remember anything special about him when he left home? She asked cautiously.

Mrs. Wu thought for a while, "That day, he said that he had made an appointment to go to Suzaku Street to deliver samples. His mood at the time was ...... It seems to be very good, and he has been telling me that he can get a large commission after this transaction is completed. He wanted to take Momo and me out of Chang'an and move to live in the dry climate of Gunzhou. ”

"What kind of goods? What is the identity of the guest? Li Yu immediately asked.

He learned from Li Zhengna that during the years of living in Yiningfang, Wu Fenglin had not set foot in the calligraphy and painting business, but was in the coffin broker business.

To put it bluntly, it is to buy the right coffin at the dock and sell it to the right people.

Unless the wood is extremely valuable, the commission for this trade is very small. And the dignitaries who really need precious timber usually have their own purchasing masters, and they will not be able to use brokers like him.

Mrs. Wu shook her head, "I haven't heard him mention it." But it must be a big deal, since the beginning of this year, he has been going out early and returning late every day to look for goods. After that, I also went to Youzhou, and finally brought back a satisfactory sample after half a month. ”

Li Yu and Su Xiaozhou glanced at each other and nodded secretly.

When Wu Fenglin was not at home, he must have gone to prepare for the tomb. The scale of the imperial tomb is huge, even if it is an experienced veteran, if you want to make a thief hole to enter, you can't do it in a few months.

"You ...... Can you help me check the rich and noble families who have been funeral in recent months, and see if there is any hope of finding him...... Even if it's a corpse! Maybe the middleman saw the profit and betrayed the righteousness, quarreled with him, and killed him! I'm sure the wood sent by my husband must have been very good—it wasn't enough to put it in a dark box, and I took the silk cloth I had embroidered and wrapped it in a few layers. ”

"Silk?!"

Su Xiaozhou didn't care about the danger, and stepped forward again to open the gauze tent.

As soon as she got the embroidered silk cloth in her hand, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't come back to her senses until she was pushed a few times by Li Yu.

"Mrs. Wu, what does Momo's father look like?" She asked suddenly.

Thinking that she had promised to help, Mrs. Wu was a little excited, stretched her body, took out a piece of paper from under the pillow with difficulty, and handed it out of the gauze tent tremblingly.

"This is a portrait of his father painted in ink. Originally, he wanted to draw more and post it outside to find someone, but I was afraid that Feng Lin would really die, and doing so would cause trouble...... I didn't let him go. ”

She was right to do this, if Wu Fenglin died at the hands of others, once a portrait was posted to find someone, it was likely to attract the other party to kill people. Mrs. Wu is not only smart, but also loves her children very much, and everything is to protect Momo's safety.

Li Yu stretched out his hand to pick it up, but was picked up by Su Xiaozhou first.

Opening the portrait and looking into the light, she gasped.

Reflexively pulled Li Yu, lowered his voice and said, "I have something to do, you go out with me." ”

"What's the matter?"

Just asked about the key point, Li Yu didn't understand for a while, what could she do more urgently than looking for Wu Fenglin.

"That...... I'm a little hungry. Anyway, it will take a while for Momo to come back, so let's go get something to eat. Su Xiaozhou said with some humility.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Don't be funny, didn't you just have breakfast?" You also ate two hu cakes, a bowl of noodle soup, a plate of almond crisp, and a bowl of buttermilk. ”

Su Xiaozhou grabbed him violently, gritted his teeth and said, "I said I'm hungry, are you deaf?" ”

"Uh-okay, let's go get some more food then."

Li Yu was confused, turned to Mrs. Wu on the couch and said, "I'm sorry, let's go have something to eat and come back." Please think about it again, the unusual behavior of Momo's father before and after his disappearance, and all the details related to his transaction. ”
