The custom in the Wujiabao area is to worship and sweep the mausoleum in the afternoon, that is, after noon. Therefore, Wu Zheng also had lunch with his uncle Ning Yunju, and then took four accompanying servants to carry the purchased sacrifices to the ancestral tomb of the Wu family in the north of the fort to worship his mother and grandmother.

Ning Yunju didn't know what the reason was, so he didn't go with Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng didn't believe that his uncle Ning Yunju knew the secret about Sinan Che, or rather, he knew the legend in the rivers and lakes about the mysterious energy source of Sinan Che in his mother's hands, so he didn't go to the ancestral grave in order to clear up his relationship with himself. But in any case, Ning Yunju's act of not sacrificing and sweeping undoubtedly eliminated a trace of concern in Wu Zheng's heart.

Otherwise, as long as Ning Yunju appears in the ancestral tomb and worships in front of Ning Yunyan's grave, it will be equivalent to telling the people of the world and the entire martial arts, the relationship between Ning Yunyan and Ning Yunju. It is equivalent to clarifying the relationship between Wu Zheng and the Ning family.

And what Wu Zheng wanted to conceal was the relationship with Xiao Pengju, the current leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the relationship with Sinanche's mysterious energy source, which could no longer continue.

It's just that when Wu Zheng came to the ancestral tomb of the Wu family, he first briefly cleaned up his grandmother's grave without a tombstone, and after placing the offerings, he turned around and walked to the grave of his mother Ning Yunyan. I had just shoveled the soil twice with the shovel in my hand, but suddenly I found that a deep, man-thick black hole had appeared next to the grave.

"The grave was stolen?!"

Wu Zheng was suddenly surprised and saddened and stood on the spot.

I remember very clearly that before I was sunk in the pond, every mother's sacrifice day, that is, today on April 18, and every year Qingming, July 15. On the first day of October, including the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they will come to worship and sweep. In addition, even if it is not a day for the sacrificial sweeping, whenever the cattle pass by, they will stop by to see the weeds on the grave. And add some new soil from time to time.

What is certain is that before he escaped from the sinking pond, his mother's grave was definitely not stolen and dug up.

Who could it be?

Wu Zheng thought of Wu Gan almost immediately.

Although his mother died after giving birth to him, Wu Zheng couldn't know if there were any valuable funeral goods when his mother was buried, but one thing Wu Zheng knew was that the family had never been very wealthy, and he had never heard of it from his grandmother or father, and there were things worth mentioning in his mother's funeral goods.

So. Except for those who know his mother's background and suspect the mysterious source of energy on Sinan's car, that is to say, the small jade diamond-shaped mark on his body is in his mother's hand, it is impossible for others to come to dig his mother's grave.

In this way, apart from Wu Gan, Wu Zheng couldn't imagine that there would be anyone else.

After all, there are too many deceased clansmen buried in the ancestral grave of the Wu family, who are much richer than the Wu Zheng family. If it was an ordinary tomb robber who only wanted money, he would not choose his mother's grave if he said anything.

The more you think about it. The more angry Wu Zheng became. Knowing this, Wu Gan should not have been let go last time in Linshan City. To know. Grave digging is disrespectful to the deceased and their relatives. Moreover, in the Law, grave digging is also a felony punishable by death.

"Lord Wu, do you want to report this matter to Lord Xun Ning?"

Although the officials around them didn't know the relationship between Wu Zheng and Ning Yunju, they knew that stealing graves and digging graves was never allowed by the law, so they tentatively reminded Wu Zheng.

"Go ahead. Please come as soon as possible. ”

Uncle Ning Yunju did not come to pay tribute to his mother, Wu Zheng probably should have some concerns in his heart, although he couldn't guess why, he knew that his uncle didn't really want to come. So, borrowing about the theft of my mother's grave. It just happened to give my uncle the most reasonable excuse to come here to pay respects, even if it was just to see his own sister's grave.

Sure enough, it didn't take much effort, Ning Yunju, who had already changed out of his official uniform and was only wearing a white casual clothes, led eight entourages to rush over.

When I came to the tomb, I didn't say anything, just stared at the somewhat gray tombstone for a long time. Wu Zheng observed from the side that the corners of his uncle's eyes had already moistened unconsciously. From this, it is not difficult to judge that when my mother was alive, the relationship with my uncle should be reasonable.

The handwriting on his mother's tombstone has long been engraved in his mind for Wu Zheng, who has been watching it for many years.

"The tomb of the wife Wu Ning", this is a line of large characters in the middle of the tombstone, and there is a line of small characters on the left side, which is the words "Fu Wu Li Pengli", and the back is the time of burial.

Unlike other tombstones, the name of the deceased is usually written as well. For example, the tombstone of my grandfather is written like this: First examine the tomb of Wu Zhiyou Chunde Ligong. That is to say, Wu Zheng's grandfather's surname is Wu, his name is pure, and his name is Deli.

Even if a woman who marries her husband and follows her husband is buried after her death, if she has a name before her death, and the person who erected the monument is her husband, she will also write like this: The tomb of his wife Wu Ning's Yanyunyan. It's just that the word "Yunyan" should be staggered and engraved in a slightly smaller font.

Only when the tombstone is erected by the children of the deceased woman, the name is generally not written, but simply written: the tomb of the ancestor Wu Ning.

Wu Zheng didn't care about it before, and he didn't know much about these rules at that time, but today he saw that his uncle Ning Yunju had been looking at the words on his mother's tombstone, and Wu Zheng found that there was something abnormal, and his mother's name was not engraved on it.

This could never be the negligence of my father when he erected the monument, it must have been discussed by my parents in advance. The purpose is nothing more than to keep the secret of his mother's life experience, so as not to disturb Wu Zheng's future life. According to what his father said in his last letter, everything his parents did was to hope that Wu Zheng could live a happy life as an ordinary person.

Originally, Wu Zheng's visit to the ancestral tomb had attracted many people from Wujiabao to stand in the distance and watch, and soon after the news spread that the patrol of the eight mansions had also hurried over, there were more people who came to watch.

Especially those who have already discovered the hole in front of Wu Zheng's mother's grave, they all whispered in private.

"Third brother, Wu Lipeng's family is not a rich family since the ancestors, which tomb robber is so blind, and he doesn't steal so many tombs, but he chose the tomb of Wu Lipeng's wife?"

"Who knows, it can't be that the lights are blind at night and you don't see clearly, right?"

"Well, you think they're all like you, and if they're like you, all the grave robbers in the world would starve to death. ”

Ning Yunju, who had stood silently in front of the tombstone for a long time, finally spoke.

"Investigate, investigate. ”

The eight retinues behind him immediately separated two of them and hurriedly walked towards Wujiabao. There is no need to ask, and I know that I am going to convey the order of the patrol to Zhong Liqun.

"There is no need to make a big move, this matter cannot be done by anyone other than Wu Gan. ”

Wu Zheng neither called Lord Patrol, nor naturally did he call his uncle.

"Wu Gan, was it once Mr. Wujiabao's private school?"

Hearing this, Wu Zheng nodded.

After that, the offerings were arranged, and when everything was in order, he filled the hole with a shovel until the hole was filled. A new layer of soil was added to the mother's grave. (To be continued.) )
