Chapter 379: Beiping Mansion is shocked
Until the King of Han left the Ming Changling Mausoleum with the man in black, it happened to be dawn.
When the time comes, a second wave of guards will come to change the guard, ready to change positions.
But when the second wave of guards came to the outside of the Ming Changling Mausoleum, they were stunned.
I saw that these defenders all fell to the ground, and their deaths were tragic and terrifying.
The corpses were lying all over the place.
Obviously, they were all killed.
What's going on?
The hundreds of defenders who came to change their guards turned pale with fright.
They never thought that Ming Changling would be attacked.
Moreover, their companions all died tragically!
"Go, go and report to Lord Zheng and report the facts to him one by one."
"Go."
"Who attacked the Ming Changling?"
While the defenders were shocked, no one dared to make their own decisions, they didn't even dare to move the corpses of their companions, but sent people to Beiping Mansion to find Lord Zheng and let Lord Zheng deal with the matter.
Lord Zheng is the prefect of Beiping, and since the Ming Changling Mausoleum was built in Beiping, this matter naturally has to be taken care of by Lord Zheng.
Hearing that Ming Changling was attacked, Lord Zheng put down all the official duties in his hands and hurried here with the messenger.
Just went up the mountain, but not yet to the gate of the Ming Changling.
Lord Zheng saw a tragic scene.
He saw corpses all over the ground, blood flowed everywhere, corpses all over the field, corpses lying in all directions, and people shuddered.
They died horriously.
Master Zheng chuckled in his heart, his face was completely gloomy to the extreme, and then he stepped forward quickly.
He approached one of the corpses and crouched down.
After seeing Lord Zheng coming, the other defenders also seemed to have a backbone, and they were completely relieved in their hearts, and hurriedly followed behind Lord Zheng to investigate the situation together.
Lord Zheng stared at the corpse of the defender, skimming the other's head, revealing his bloody neck.
Master Zheng stretched out his hand and wiped all the blood off his neck.
Sure enough, there was a deep sword mark on the neck.
It was this fatal wound that led to the death of the other party.
Now, it is almost certain that the attack on the defenders was man-made!
However, what kind of person would come to attack the Ming Changling?
The people lying in the Ming Changling Mausoleum are all dead people, who will care?
"Tomb robbers?" Lord Zheng's face was gloomy.
No!
No, it's not like a tomb robber.
If it was really the tomb robbers, it would be impossible to kill so many defenders, the tomb robbers were not a group activity, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to the soldiers guarding the Ming Changling.
So, it's not a tomb robber.
Behind this incident, there are even more strange facts.
Lord Zheng stood up and looked at the gate of the Ming Changling Tomb.
That gate has already been blown open, blown to pieces, and it is no longer in shape.
Everything in the tomb can be seen from the outside.
Master Zheng's heart thumped again, and his breathing suddenly became much shorter.
The death of the defenders is small, and the sneak attack is small, but the bombing of the Ming Changling is the most big.
"Gunpowder ......," Master Zheng analyzed.
The other party used gunpowder to blow up the Ming Changling.
The bombing of the Ming Changling Tomb is already a major sin, and if the things in the Ming Changling Tomb are stolen, it will be an additional crime, and there will be no place to bury him......
Lord Zheng's face was extremely ugly, and he quickly entered the Ming Changling Mausoleum with the defenders.
Eighteen stone gates in a row were all blown up in a rude way, which means that the other party is very rude, and it is definitely not the work of careful tomb robbers......
Master Zheng walked in this Ming Changling Mausoleum, and his palms couldn't help but condense with fine sweat.
He quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the main burial chamber.
After a short time, Lord Zheng led the defenders to the main tomb.
In the main burial chamber, chickens and dogs jumped, countless burial goods disappeared, and the gold, silver and jewelry piled up in the corners seemed to have never appeared, and they were completely gone.
It's empty everywhere.
The emperor was very affectionate to Empress Xu, who was buried in the Ming Changling Mausoleum, and brought at least thousands of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry with her entourage.
These gold and silver jewels were personally supervised by the King of Han at that time, and the jewelry was sent into the tomb.
And these gold, silver and jewelry are all Queen Xu's funeral goods......
Today, these funerary goods are gone.
Master Zheng stumbled under his feet and couldn't help but fall to the ground, his face was pale.
He muttered, "It's over, it's over......"
"It's all over, thousands of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, all of which are Queen Xu's funeral goods, but now they are gone, I ......"
"It's a remiss on my part."
If the news reaches the imperial court, the defenders will be killed, the Ming Changling Tomb will be bombed, and the funeral goods will be missing.
However.
And that's not even the scariest of all.
Behind Lord Zheng, a defender said cautiously: "Lord Zheng, if you take a closer look, it seems that there is something missing except for gold, silver and jewelry. ”
What's missing?
In his grief, Lord Zheng raised his head and looked at everything in the main tomb.
He glanced at the empty main burial chamber, a little confused, not knowing what was missing.
"What's missing?" He asked the defenders behind him.
The defender behind him reminded: "This is the main tomb, and the coffin of Queen Xu is missing......"
He said it very lightly, and when he said such things, he felt terrified and committed a great crime of disrespect.
Master Zheng chuckled and looked sharply at the place where the coffin was placed.
Sure enough, it was empty, there was nothing.
It stands to reason that Queen Xu's coffin is to be placed here.
In the main tomb, the gold, silver and jewelry are gone, and the body of Empress Xu is gone......
Lord Zheng's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
It's over, it's all over......
"The body of the mother of the country was stolen, the Ming Changling was bombed, this crime is heinous, how can I afford it, a small prefect of Beiping."
"How should I report this matter to the court."
Master Zheng's hands were already trembling.
Lord Zheng, who has always been calm, has a face as black as coal, and his heart trembles.
He has a bright future, as long as the capital moves to Beiping, he will go from the prefect to become the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion and the member of the three products.
But now, Queen Xu's body is gone, and he doesn't know if his net worth and life can be saved.
"Whoever has been stabbed with a thousand knives, whether he has stolen gold, silver and jewelry, he even stole a corpse!"
"What kind of dog thing, there is such a fetish, even the corpse is stolen."
"The mother of a country, the queen of the world, that is the holy body, how can someone desecrate, how can you easily leave the Ming Changling Mausoleum?"
Lord Zheng broke down emotionally and wailed: "Killing a thousand knives, which one killed a thousand knives." ”
Empress Xu's body is gone, this is the biggest thing.
"This is to kill me and the soldiers who guarded the Ming Changling."
"Dog, you dog, you dog, what do you want a corpse for?"
All the defenders were also silent.
Their bodies trembled with them.
Because they realized the seriousness of the matter.
The Ming Changling Tomb was bombed, and the body of Empress Xu disappeared, and what kind of situation did they face as the town guards?
