243. The tomb of the concubine was stolen

Du didn't forget to ask Mingxi at this time:

"Why don't you eat beef buns?"

Mingxi replied:

"We Fusang people don't eat the cattle, sheep and pigs that you eat in the Central Plains, we only eat things in the sea, and when I said to eat pork just now, I also heard that your pork buns in the Central Plains were delicious before, so I wanted to try it, but I didn't expect that I can't eat it now!"

Suddenly, at this time, a group of officers and soldiers rushed into the teahouse and directly surrounded the two of them.

I saw the first head catcher, holding the gold leaf, and asked Mingxi:

"Where did you get this golden leaf?"

Du didn't forget to stop in front of Mingxi and replied to the catcher:

"This gold leaf was brought by my friend's house, is there a problem?"

The head catcher pointed to the handwriting on it with a gold leaf, and said to Du Yi:

"You can see clearly, what is written on this gold leaf is the exclusive thing of my former imperial concubine Wan, Wan Guifei has been dead for many years, why is the thing in this girl?"

Du did not forget to take a closer look at the gold leaf, and sure enough, a few lines of small characters on it read, 'During the Chenghua period, the inner government made ten thousand concubines special', Du did not forget to see this, so he whispered to Mingxi:

"How did you get this gold leaf?"

明汐 says:

"I don't know, I heard that someone gave it to my dad a few years ago, my dad put it in his room, I saw it, I thought this gold leaf was very good-looking, so I asked him to come over, the handwriting on it because I don't know your Central Plains characters too well, I thought it was just a pattern, I didn't expect this gold leaf to be this kind of origin!"

Du did not forget to come over and explain to the head catcher:

"This gold leaf was also given to my friend by someone else, I hope you don't embarrass my friend!"

The head catcher said:

"I can't be the master, so I have to invite the two of you to our county office!"

Du didn't forget to think about it, go to the county office, anyway, he has the identity of Tanhualang, and he is not afraid of how this county order dares to treat him and Mingxi.

After arriving at the county office, the county order directly began to rise up, and after listening to the county order, he asked Du Bu and Mingxi loudly:

"Where are you from, and what are your names, report them yourself!"

Du did not forget to go directly to the county magistrate and said:

"In the next is the sixteenth year of Zhengde, the former Northwest General, Jingbian Marquis, King Du, Du will not forget!"

At this time, after hearing the county order, he was startled, and hurriedly said to the master on the side:

"Hurry up and check with me, if there is no person who Du does not forget!"

The master replied directly:

"Master doesn't need to check, there is indeed a person who does not forget Du Yi, and what he said is right, but except for the fame of Tanhua, the other titles have long been withdrawn by the imperial court!"

At this time, the county order immediately returned to its previous appearance, and said:

"I see!"

Then he asked Du Yi again:

"Are you really Du Tanhua?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can check it!"

At this time, the county order said:

"Since it is Tanhualang's crime, this county has no right to interrogate!"

Then he said to the master on the side:

"Don't invite Du Tanhua and his friends to stay in our county yazhong for one night first, and send them to Huai'an Mansion tomorrow!"

The master replied:

"Okay!"

Then he took Du Buyi to a small courtyard behind the county office.

Du did not forget to ask this master:

"Are you trying to put us under house arrest?"

The master replied:

"Our master can't help it, I hope Du Tanhua will forgive me, the house here used to be our master's office, if you are not Tanhualang, you should be invited to prison!"

Du Bu didn't forget to see that the room environment was not bad, but it was a little old, so he asked Mingxi

"What do you think?"

Mingxi replied:

"It's okay, anyway, I also want to know where the gold leaf came from, and I don't want to be mistaken for a thief just after I arrived in your Central Plains!"

The two of them cleaned up the room, and then a maid and a maid brought sheets, quilts, and hot water for the two of them.

After all, it was already September at this time, and the weather was starting to get cooler.

Since this house has only one hall and one room, Du Yi took a quilt and prepared to go out to sleep in the hall outside, Mingxi saw this and said:

"Brother Du, we've been together for a few days, don't go out to sleep!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Xi'er, you are still young, Brother Du, I can't ruin your reputation!"

Mingxi came over and grabbed Du Yi and said:

"Brother Du, you make me scared alone, Mingxi and I am not your Central Plains, I don't care about those reputations!"

Du did not forget to say:

"Okay, then I'll sleep on the floor of the room!"

Mingxi snatched the quilt in Du Buxing's hand and said:

"This bed is also quite big, enough for you to sleep with me, and it is easy to catch a cold on the ground!"

Du didn't forget to see that Mingxi also cared about himself so much, so he had to say to Mingxi:

"Okay, let's sleep on one side, you sleep inside and I sleep outside!"

Mingxi nodded, and then lay in, and Du Buyi naturally lay outside.

In the middle of the night, Du Bu Bu suddenly felt that his right hand seemed to touch something soft, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Mingxi actually ran to his quilt and was hiding in his arms and fell asleep, and his right hand was placed in a position that should not be placed, so he immediately withdrew his hand and pushed Mingxi awake.

At this time, Mingxi opened his hazy eyes, looked at Du Buxing, and said:

"Brother Du, why haven't you slept yet?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I just woke up!"

Mingxi asked again:

"Brother Du, are you okay with waking me up?"

Du didn't forget to hesitate, and then he saw Mingxi fall asleep in his arms with his eyes closed.

Du didn't forget that he wanted Mingxi to go back to his quilt to sleep, but seeing Mingxi sleeping so soundly in his arms, he wouldn't wake him up again, so he had to close his eyes and try not to think about anything, so he slowly fell asleep again.

At dawn the next day, Mingxi woke up and saw that he was in Du Buzhi's arms, so he immediately woke up Du Bucheng and asked:

"Brother Du, why did I sleep in your arms?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I don't know, I woke up in the middle of the night, that's it, seeing you sleep so soundly, it's not good to wake you up!"

At this time, Mingxi said:

"Maybe it's a habit, I used to sleep with my dad because I liked to get into his arms, Brother Du is embarrassed, you must have not slept well last night, right?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It's okay!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Du did not forget to immediately tidy up his clothes and go out to open the door, and the person who came was the magistrate and the master.

I only heard Zhixian say to Du Yi:

"Du Tanhua, it's time for you to go to our Huai'an Mansion, the outside has been prepared for you right away, and it has been put on the carriage early!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Then thank you, Lord Zhixian!"

It just so happened that Mingxi had already dressed and walked out at this time, so Du Buyi walked out of the county office with her, got into the carriage and went to Huai'an Mansion with a few officers and soldiers.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, several people had already arrived outside the yamen of Huai'an Mansion.

At this time, the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture had also raised a hall in the yamen.

I only heard the prefect say:

"Since it's Tanhualang, you don't have to kneel, but the little girl next to you has to kneel!"

Mingxi took the initiative to kneel on the ground.

At this time, I saw the prefect Ju Zhong holding a gold leaf in one hand and patting the board with the other, and said to the two of them:

"Two suspects, do you know the origin of this gold leaf?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I already know, isn't it the concubine of the Xianzong Dynasty!"

The prefect Ju Zhong said again:

"Then do you know that this gold leaf is the burial object of Concubine Wan's underground palace?"

Du Buyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately said:

"Lord Prefect, why are you a burial object for Concubine Wan?"

At this time, Ju Zhong called a guard to come in, and the guard said to Du Yifu:

"I'm a guard ...... of Wan Niangniang's tomb in Tianshou Mountain!"

It turned out that a few years ago, the guard got up early one morning to inspect, and suddenly found that there was something unusual in Wan Niangniang's grave, so he immediately called other guards to come to investigate, only to find that Wan Niangniang's grave had been dug a robbery hole.

So the guard entered the underground palace along the thief hole, only to find that Wan Niangniang's coffin had been opened, and it was a mess inside, and the guard came out and immediately reported the matter to the current emperor, and the emperor was naturally furious, so he immediately ordered the guard to investigate the case and kept quiet.

Because the burial utensils in the tomb of Wan Niangniang were recorded in detail, the guard searched around according to the list of account books recorded, and happened to pass by a gold shop in the town where Du Buyi and Mingxi were located, and saw the gold shop boss holding a large gold leaf at the door to take a closer look, and the guard saw that this gold leaf was not an ordinary item, so he immediately asked the gold shop owner to go over and take a closer look, and naturally found that this was the funeral utensils of Wan Guifei.

In order to keep it secret, the prefect naturally did not allow the public to watch the trial this time.

At this time, the guard took out a stack of list paper from his arms and handed it to Du Buyi to see, sure enough, there was this gold leaf in the list, and this gold leaf was still the headdress of Concubine Wan.

At this time, the prefect Ju Zhong asked Du Buyi and Mingxi:

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, can you plead guilty?"

Du did not forget and was helpless, so he had to say:

"According to the time given by the Qin guards, I was fighting against the Tatars in the northwest at that time, how could I have time to come to Jingshi Wanshou Mountain to rob the tomb, and Mingxi girl is not from our Central Plains, this is the first time to come to the Central Plains, how can he be a little girl familiar with the terrain of Wanshou Mountain, and do this kind of thing that people and gods are angry about?"

Then he said:

"Can the prefect give me a month, I don't forget to promise to help you find out the origin of this gold leaf and catch the group of tomb robbers who dug up the tomb of Wan Guifei!"

At this time, Ju Zhong didn't know what to do, so he had to take a look at the guard in charge of investigating the case and asked:

"Guard Qin, what do you think?"

Guard Qin hesitated and said:

"Wan Niangniang's grave was stolen, His Majesty just blamed us, and ordered us to try our best to find out the grave robbers and punish them severely, and recover the stolen artifacts, I also believe that Du Tanhua and Mingxi Girl are not the people who robbed the grave, since this is the case, then follow Du Tanhua's meaning, but we guards must follow Du Tanhua together in case there is an accident!"

At this time, seven or eight guards with knives like this Qin guard walked in, and surrounded Du Yiyi and Mingxi.

Du didn't forget to pull up Mingxi first and asked:

"Mingxi has worked hard for you, are you tired of kneeling for so long?"

Mingxi replied:

"Get used to it, Brother Du, have you forgotten that our Fusang people kneel like this?"

Du didn't forget to touch his head and said:

"I forgot about it!"

Du did not forget to find an inn with Mingxi to rest first, and then went to Penglai Island with the guards tomorrow to find out who sent this gold leaf to Mingxi and his father Master Puhui.

Unexpectedly, the other guards all found a place to rest on their own, but this Qin guard followed Du Buyi and Mingxi every step of the way, and even Du Buyi went to the inn room, and the Qin guard also followed.

Seeing this, Du didn't forget to ask him with a wry smile:

"Guard Qin, are you still afraid that I Du Tanhua will escape?"

The Qin guard replied:

"Your Majesty is magnanimous and trusts me, of course I have to do my best to do things for Your Majesty, and I hope Du Tanhua will understand!"

At this time, Mingxi had already gone back to his room to sleep, and Du Buyi felt that he couldn't sleep for a while, so he chatted with this Qin guard.
