Startled Meng

It is very important to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings in the beginning of spring, and it is at the moment of severe drought in Yandi, the emperor can't wait for the altar to be placed on the altar immediately. have to wait.

Waiting for a big trouble.

The tomb of the hidden prince was stolen.

Yu Xian still didn't know what was stolen, and he didn't ask deeply. Fearing the wrath of God's wrath, he ordered the tomb robbers to be chased away, and the matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and the crown prince should be kept clean.

Therefore, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yan Zhifu and others who had been counted, rushed to the imperial mausoleum without even having the court clothes and waiting for the rain to stop.

The Mausoleum of the Great Yin Emperor is located next to the Si Mountain and next to the flowing water, occupying all the spiritual veins of the world. It was built on a high ground, and there is a flat river in front of the Mausoleum Palace, which is bright and open.

After the rain, the dense fog is dense. Looking from the bottom of the mountain, it looks like a fairyland. It suddenly feels like walking in the Palace of Longevity. After climbing the mountain with the mud that has trampled your feet, you can see all kinds of palaces and temples. The sound of dripping water is solemn and quiet.

Seeing that the palace city was intact and the officers and soldiers guarding the Yong'an Mausoleum didn't look sideways, Yang Xun of the Ministry of Punishment sighed softly, "Fortunately, I didn't disturb the late emperor's sleep."

Yan Cijing followed behind him, heard his murmurs clearly, insinuating that if something went wrong in Yong'an Mausoleum of the late emperor, would you still be able to come to Mang Mountain?In a hurry to collect the bones for Wei Cheng, he thought to himself, is there another secret behind the theft of the tomb of the hidden prince?

In front of the mausoleum palace, the mausoleum officials had been waiting for a long time for the news. After visiting them one by one, they did not gossip, but led the way by themselves, and told the general situation as they walked.

"Something went wrong in the Mausoleum Palace, and the lower officials are all to blame for their deaths. It's just because the lower officials are in charge of everything in the Mausoleum Palace. It's a good luck to save a life for the time being to help the adults solve the case."

"In the past two days of the spring festival, the underground palace was opened to sweep and set up desks. It is not impossible to say that someone mixed in and caused trouble."

The mausoleum official's name was Zhong Li, and he didn't look like someone who would make mistakes in his actions. He was also quite cautious at the moment, seeing the mighty team following behind, he didn't say more specific details.

Everything has to be seen after entering the underground palace.

The corridor was long and narrow, and the air was blocked. No one was in the mood to care about the murals on both sides. They just hurried along with their heads down. Yan Cijing walked at the end. No one paid attention to him. Look at them one by one.

A group of people went out of the corridor and then entered the underground palace. Zhong Li was waiting at the exit. When he saw Yan Cijing standing in the corridor thoughtfully, he waited quietly without urging him.

It was Yang Xun who was impatient, pointing at Yan Cijing and said: "Master Yan, the emperor ordered you to investigate bandits, if you don't go into the mountains to look for them, what are you going to do in this underground palace?"

Before Yan Cijing could answer, Zhong Li reminded Yang Xun not to make too much noise, and then Fu Chun asked back: "If you don't come to the underground palace to find clues, why don't you let Mr. Yan go bump into the deep mountains?"

Yang Xun snorted coldly, glanced back and forth at Zhong Li and Fu Chun, shook his hands angrily, led the two who followed into the underground palace, and the rest followed, Yan Cijing also came out of the tunnel, only thinking about the murals on the wall. Character: In the 56th year of Yuankang, died in Huilu.

The structure of the underground palace is not complicated. When you come out of the corridor, you will arrive at the front hall, and then there are the middle hall and the back hall, and the left and right side halls are divided into two sides.

The sweeping and sacrifices in the underground palace are only in the front hall and nave, and they will never enter the apse where the sarcophagus is placed.

Except for the apse, the utensils and books in each hall are well preserved, and the tomb robbers seem to have a clear target, which is the apse.

There was no trace of damage along the way. Standing in front of the gate of the apse, Yang Xun felt an inexplicable coolness. He covered his nose and took a step back, displeased: "The ancestors must be unhappy if they are disturbed. Why don't you invite monks to come?" Practice chanting?"

Zhong Li explained: "If the monks are invited to recite sutras wantonly, I am afraid that it will go against the original intention of the emperor's secret investigation. It will not be too late to chant sutras after finding the bones of Prince Yin."

When he said this, not only Yang Xun, but also everyone's backs were much cooler, and even the back of their heads felt a numb chill.

Fu Chun was shocked and said what everyone was thinking: "Where are the tomb robbers so rampant that they don't even spare the corpses in the coffin?

The rest of the people gasped, Zhong Li understood it at a glance, presumably the person who sent the message to the palace failed to convey his words completely, only half of what he said, and did not mention the loss of the remains of Prince Yin.

It's not too late to know now, Zhong Li took the lead in pushing open the door of the hall, and led everyone into the hall: "My lords, you will know at a glance."

Fu Chun took the lead to follow. Yang Xun wanted to climb up to Fu Chun, but he didn't catch up. The two brought behind him were useless. He already smelled a smell of urine, so he turned his gaze to Yan Cijing who was in deep thought. , urged: "Master Yan? Didn't you want to investigate the clues of the tomb robbers? Why don't you go in?"

Yan Cijing entered the apse without saying a word, and Yang Xun quickly followed.

In fact, the palace is not as evil as Yang Xun thought, but it is more out of the ordinary than everyone thought.

The sarcophagus was broken open violently, the coffin lid fell to the ground, and fine stones were scattered around the inner and outer coffins. Yan Cijing touched the white marks of different shades around the coffin wall and said: "Machete, knife, knife, use all your strength, Isn’t it true that no one in the mausoleum noticed such a big commotion?”

Zhong Li said: "There are not always people on duty in the underground palace. The tomb robbers have figured out the time when the palace people walk, and they hide from the palace people on duty. It is reasonable to not be noticed."

Everyone was silent, neither nodding nor denying, Zhong Li added: "The imperial mausoleum is not only the hidden prince, there are also 33 former emperors and ministers who drove westward. When there are too many people, there will be nighttime quarrels. Naturally, the palace people Don't dare to disturb casually."

"This place is... haunted..."

Zhong Li looked along the voice and saw the water stains spreading on the ground, his face was still calm, and he comforted him: "You two adults don't need to worry, it's still early."

Yang Xun gritted his teeth, and really wanted to put the two embarrassing things he brought into the smelly corpse water. He asked, "The tomb robbers just stole the funerary objects, why did they also steal the corpse of Prince Yin?" ?”

Zhong Li said: "If I know, I can take the blame and do meritorious service, and I won't bother the adults."

Fu Chun stared at the dark water and said, "We need to know what the tomb robbers took away besides Prince Yin's body."

Then Fu Chun and the four helpers brought by Yang Xun began to salvage the remaining sacrificial objects in the coffin. After comparing them one by one with the items listed in the book, they would know what the tomb robbers stole.

"If you bring too many and fragments, you will definitely leave clues on the way—"

Zhong Li interrupted Fu Chun: "After the incident, the lower officials have sent people to investigate in the mountains, but they haven't found any clues, and no matter how the tomb robbers took away Prince Yin's body, there are no clues in the mountains, not even a footprint." None found."

"How is it possible?" Yang Xun was surprised, "Could it be that he grew wings and flew away?"

The current progress can be said to be no progress. No one has seen what the damn tomb robber looks like and where he fled to. Why did the tomb robber forcefully open the museum to take away the funeral objects? The calligraphy and paintings in the side halls on both sides are also very valuable .

The emperor ordered them to waste their time in the palace, so Yang Xun and Fu Chun decided how to investigate.

Tomb robbers have long legs, so they will leave clues when walking in the mountains, and they must send people to investigate in the mountains; They are not vegetarians either, someone must have noticed something is wrong and need to check one by one.

Yang Xun assigned: "Master Yan, I know that you have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, so why don't you take people to Bishan to find traces of the bandits? I will investigate the mausoleum together with Lord Fu."

Fu Chun looked at Ci Jing's clothes and shoes that had not yet dried all the way, and said, "Let people go to the mountains to search for them, Master Yan doesn't have to go there himself."

"No." Yang Xun eloquently said, "There are ways to suppress bandits, such as terrain, ditches and caves. Lord Yan has suppressed bandits before, so he must know where the tomb robbers will hide. Lord Yan must go."

After the heavy rain, the mountains and forests are not easy to walk, and there are soft mud and sand slides everywhere. Besides, everything has been washed away by a heavy rain. Where can we find any clues?Fu Chun thought about not letting Mr. Yan go to waste, but he didn't expect Yang Xun to go against him, and he didn't expect Yan Cijing to go out as if nothing had happened.

"Master Fu, come and see!" Yang Xun called Fu Chun to come and see the salvaged jade and precious stones.

Fu Chun took the booklet and compared it, and saw something was wrong at a glance, "This..."

Then, someone came in and reported: "Master Yan led a small group of forbidden troops to the mountain."

"On the mountain?" Yang Xun sneered, "Is the tomb robber a mountain monkey? How to find it on the mountain?"

Fu Chun was also surprised, what the hell was Yan Cijing doing? Why did he run off into the mountains?

Not only Fu Chun and Yang Xun were puzzled, but also the small group of imperial guards who followed Yan Cijing up the mountain were also very confused. They didn't understand what this scholar-like adult from the capital was doing and how he was running into the deep mountains and old forests.

If you have doubts in your heart, you will be passive and negligent. It is extremely inconvenient for the forbidden army to walk in the mountains and forests wearing heavy armor.

Yan Cijing walked in the front, but he didn't notice that all the imperial guards behind him were downcast. He focused on his surroundings, and even found a wooden stick to sweep all the way to see if there was anything hidden in the bushes.

"hiss--"

The wooden stick hit a hard object, the wooden stick in Yan Cijing's hand sank, and a long black snake jumped up screaming.

"Zi-"

Blood splattered, Yan Cijing looked down, and saw that the long snake had been broken in two.

"Thank you." Yan Cijing's hand holding the long stick trembled slightly, with lingering fear in his heart.

"You're welcome." The guard inserted the long sword into the scabbard with one hand, pressed Yan Cijing's back waist with the other hand and slid half a circle, stopped at his waist and squeezed.

Yan Cijing pushed that hand away with his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"I'll come if you want me."

The author says:

Language: Have you been squeezed and your waist bone is crispy?

Yan: No, it hurts and I feel bruised.

Yu: I did it on purpose, who made you run around again.
