Chapter 4 The offering is missing
Lin Hai, as the personal guard of the uncle of King Qian's mansion, when he encountered a bandit yesterday, he and other guards escorted the masters all the way and rushed into the mausoleum area.
At this time, he glanced at the offerings held by the guards behind him, and complimented the butler who walked in front: "Now that the drought is abusive, the big thief is rampant, and the strict housekeeper has his hands and eyes to the sky, and he can still find these treasures and fruits for his master, which is really hard work." ”
It's just that I feel in my heart that it's a pity to give such a good fruit to the dead.
Zeng Yan heard this, how could he not know the other party's thoughts, but as the chief steward of King Qian's Mansion, he had his own bearing, and there was no need to worry about the servants below for a trivial matter.
Yes, his pace remained the same, he didn't look back, he wanted to smile modestly, but thinking that the occasion at this moment was wrong, the corners of his mouth were leveled in time: "As a servant, you must have the consciousness of a servant, our net worth and life are all the master's, it is our honor to serve the masters, how dare you take the four words of hard work?" ”
Lin Hai lowered his eyes: "What Steward Yan said is that we see your hard work in our eyes, and we only blame me for being a rough person, I can't speak, I hope you will bear more." ”
"Everyone is doing things for the master, I won't say much kind words, and I will reward you with the offerings that will be withdrawn on behalf of the princess."
Hearing this, the few people who followed behind were overjoyed and bowed their heads to thank them.
Lin Hai sneered in his heart, this Yan steward really thinks that he is half the master of the palace, can he still be the master of the dead?
"Since I have won the princess's reward, it is your turn to be on an errand and give me a good errand."
Zeng Yan looked back and saw that a few people were very satisfied, and stood at the door of the hall and beckoned, asking a few people to go in and change the offerings.
Yesterday's funeral procession was dispersed by mountain bandits, and everyone fled in all directions.
The team in front was forced to flee to the royal tomb for temporary refuge, and by the way, the princess's funeral was arranged. And the team behind him probably fled back to the nearest county seat.
It's just the princess's coffin...... I sent someone to look for it last night, and I got a reply in the morning, but I searched all the way but didn't find it.
Zeng Yan sighed secretly when he thought of the loss of the princess's coffin.
"Yan ...... Strict housekeeper. ”
Lin Hai walked out with a calm face in three steps and two steps: "You go in and take a look, the offerings sent in yesterday are gone." ”
"Gone?"
Zeng Yan glanced at the look on Lin Hai's face suspiciously, and raised his feet and entered the hall.
On the offering table in the hall, the five clean offering plates seemed to have never been placed, if he hadn't come to check it in person before dark yesterday, he would have wondered if the people below were doing things in a way that was contrary to his instructions and did not do what he was told.
"Lin Hai, you take a few people to check this hall inside and out, to see if there are thieves, I'll go and see what the masters are doing down there?"
"Yes!"
Lin Hai felt in his heart that the thieves did not have the courage to enter the mausoleum area to make trouble, and the guards guarding the mausoleum area were not vegetarians. The royal family paid special attention to the protection of two places, one was the place where he lived during his lifetime, and the other was the place where he was buried after death.
But he had to be honest, turn around and scatter with the guards.
Zeng Yan saw that the offerings in front of the divine throne had been placed, so he turned around and went out.
......
In order not to block the apse, Xia Jing turned out of the window of the apse, she watched the video in the last days to understand, and knew that the mausoleum is generally equipped with a miscellaneous hall, which sounds like a divine kitchen hall, which is actually the place where the miscellaneous people live and live.
Of course, the offerings to the ancestors also come from here.
It's just that she hasn't found the Divine Kitchen Hall yet, but she finds that the chief butler of the palace has hurriedly walked out of the palace.
Xia Jing was curious, looked left and right, and followed while no one was paying attention.
