Zhang Liang discovered that there were people following his carriage after he left the city.

The young servant came back after investigation and reported: "Sir, there are five carriages following us."

"The carriage looks low-key, and I can't tell who's inside, but I know the drivers. They're from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, the Imperial Censor's Mansion, the Minister of Rites' Mansion, and the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace."

East Palace?

It doesn't matter if it comes to other people, but why is the prince joining in the fun?

Zhang Liang and his son were both confused?

"Hiss!" Zhang Liang suddenly took another breath of cold air.

The Emperor isn't coming too, is he?

What are you here for?

Watching others digging up his ancestral grave?

Ye Xingxin thought so too.

[System, you said the Crown Prince is here, will the Emperor, who is the most informed, also be here? ]

[He wouldn't be so idle, would he? ]

The system doesn’t know.

Emperor Jingming in the last carriage was a little unconvinced.

Is it because he is busy that he can't come?

He is coming!

Thinking of this, he directly ordered the coachman outside to catch up with Zhang Liang's carriage. He wanted to let Ye Shengxin see how idle he was.

Soon, the carriage carrying Emperor Jingming overtook several ministers who were ready to watch the show.

As they all stuck their heads out to watch.

His carriage went from running side by side with Zhang Liang's, to surpassing Zhang Liang, and finally arriving at his ancestral tomb first.

Zhang Liang:......

Seeing the smile on Emperor Jingming's face as they passed by, Zhang Liang shouted in his heart:

Your Majesty, that is an ancestral tomb, not a scenic spot!

As an emperor, what are you rushing for?

Everyone arrived at their destination one after another with complicated and unspeakable feelings.

Then he saw Emperor Jingming and the Crown Prince, the two most noble people in the world.

He walked around the tombstone of Zhang Liang's ancestor, looking it up and down.

Emperor Jingming saw Zhang Liang, pointed at the incense burner and brazier on the ground, and said in a good mood:

"My dear, I have prepared everything for you. Please pay your respects to your ancestors before their graves are dug up."

Zhang Liang bowed his hands expressionlessly: "...I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

But could you please not laugh so happily?

Emperor Jingming waved his hand.

Ye Xingxin was suspicious: [System, you said that His Majesty came here in a hurry. Is he hiding from the two donkeys that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince keeps in the East Palace? ]

[Look at him coming out, his teeth are almost showing when he smiles. ]

Emperor Jingming: ...

Emperor Jingming and the Crown Prince looked at each other, and their smiles gradually faded.

This is a relief. Sometimes you don't need to be too smart.

Night came quickly, and from time to time the howling of wild wolves could be heard from the nearby mountains.

Ye Shengxin was arranged to stay alone on a tall tree. In the moonlight, she looked at the people waiting in the grass below.

I yawned and felt a little sleepy.

[System, please call me when someone arrives. I can’t stand it any longer.]

System: [It's midnight, will those people digging up people's ancestral graves come? ]

Everyone looked up, waiting for Ye Shengxin's answer.

To be honest, it was noisy and itchy to stay down there, and the emperor and the prince couldn't help wanting to go back.

And based on past experience, it is not yet the time of the year for mosquitoes to appear.

What went wrong.

Mosquitoes are no longer afraid of the cold!

Ye Xingxin: [Then let's see if they will be unlucky today? ]

[If they rush forward, neither the Emperor nor the Queen Mother can save them. ]

As he finished speaking, a small fire appeared at the intersection ahead.

The system has good eyesight and immediately reports: [Host, someone is coming. ]

Everyone's attention shifted, their eyes fixed on the front, and their spirits became excited.

Bad luck! They will definitely be unlucky!

There were four gravediggers in total, all dressed in black, with strong shoulders and waists, and all of them were strong men.

If you observe carefully, you will find that their feet land on the ground silently, and they are all excellent fighters.

However, Zhang Liang and Emperor Jingming were not panicked.

They brought a lot of people with them and they are not pushovers, so it's no big deal to deal with them.

Ye Shengxin thought so too when the four men raised their hoes and prepared to dig the grave.

She urged the guards in her heart to hurry up and catch the man.

Emperor Jingming even started waving his hands.

result--

System: [Host, please warn the people below not to move! ]

Everyone who could hear it was stunned.

Ye Xingxin's eyes were uncertain: [What's wrong? Is there something wrong with those people? ]

System: [Host, those people are still alive, but they have the same aura as Madam Pingqinghou. ]

[I don't know if it's ghost energy or yin energy, but these people are not simple. If you get hurt by them, you don't know what will happen. ]

【Don’t act rashly. 】

【For those who visit here, the emperor's safety is the most important. 】

Everyone was silent.

Zhang Liang was extremely anxious as he looked at his ancestral grave which had been dug up with several hoes.

If the emperor were not here, he might have tried his best for the sake of his ancestral tomb.

But now, he can't use the emperor as a gamble.

Looking at Zhang Liang's tense expression, Emperor Jingming felt regretful that he would not have come out if he had known earlier.

Now that he was holding his subjects back, he couldn't save his face.

The prince and several ministers thought so too.

At the same time, they were even more confused as to why Zhang Liang’s ancestral tomb would attract such a strange person.

What are the masters behind them going to do?

Zhang Shuyu looked at the increasing amount of soil being dug up from around the tombstone, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Are we just going to let them continue digging?

Ye Shengxin was also unwilling to accept this. This was not a forced archaeological excavation, and digging up people's graves was indeed immoral.

[System, is there no other way? ]

System: [Host, I am not as smart as you. ]

Ye Xingxin: […Thank you. You don’t need to praise me at this time.]

At this time, a strong wind blew, dark clouds covered the moon, and the light disappeared. The prince looked at the light disappearing on the back of his hand, and his eyes lit up.

He called the guards and pointed at Ye Shengxin.

The guard understood, jumped up, covered Ye Shengxin's mouth and brought her down from the tree.

Ye Shengxin landed on the ground and looked at the prince in shock.

[Why did this person let her come down? To be cannon fodder? ]

[Because she holds the lowest position? ]

[Sure enough, people who play politics have dirty hearts! ]

The prince's eyelids twitched, and he was speechless. In the expectation of the emperor and Zhang Liang, he whispered:

"Master Ye, these people are skilled at digging graves. I think Master Zhang is not their first victim."

"Such a disturbing afterlife, Lord Ye, do you think it would be a good idea to let them be struck by lightning?"

As soon as the prince said this, everyone became excited again.

Yeah, how could they forget this.

Prime Minister Shangguan looked encouraging, "Yes, Lord Ye, please say that God will strike you with lightning."

Chang Zunli couldn't wait any longer and urged him on.

Their lives depend on Ye Shengxin's bad mouth.

Zhang Liang directly took out ten taels of silver.

"Master Ye, it would be great if they were struck by lightning. What do you think?"

Ye Shengxin didn't dare to accept the money given to her in front of the emperor.

She laughed awkwardly, "Sir Zhang, I feel that what I say is useless. I am just a mortal, how can I control the thunder?"

"Your Highness, please stop joking."

[These people are really desperate and are trying all kinds of methods. If I had this ability, I would just go after Ye Zhengyao who treated his daughter harshly.]

[If you have bad luck, you will be the first to be struck by lightning! ]

As soon as these words were spoken, a muffled thunder was heard in the capital.

Emperor Jingming and others turned their heads and saw a bolt of thunder striking towards the city.

Everyone:...

No need to show off like that, thank you!

Ye Xingxin, who had forgotten what he was thinking, looked up at the sky and muttered:

"Why is there thunder when it's not raining?"

“God’s hands also tremble sometimes?”

Everyone:...

This is really a good memory that comes from eating walnuts!

As time went by, it became clear that the method of guiding Ye Shengxin was not working.

The four nimble men had already made the deeply buried coffin appear.

Zhang Liang's eyes turned red with disappointment.

Zhang Shuyu was also tense all over, wishing he could rush up and fight these people to the death.

Ye Shengxin was so angry when he saw their hands preparing to pull out the coffin nails.

He even said: [If you walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. System, you said there are ghosts in this world. ]

[Then do you think the people in the coffins will become zombies that do not decay for many years, like in horror movies, and then jump out and kill these people? ]

Emperor Jingming and others widened their eyes.

They didn't know whether those four people would be killed.

But those who are still at the scene will be very worried that they will be implicated!

As the last nail of the coffin was about to be pulled out, the prince froze and his face turned pale.

I dared not move my eyes.

Zhang Liang stopped breathing.

In panic and fear, he was thinking.

Was it the right decision to let Ye Xingxin come along?

Which outcome would be better: being discovered by those four and having a desperate fight or facing the terrifying zombie ancestors?
