Chapter 54

So the group rushed to the nearest village where the tomb was robbed. They found the village chief of this village. Of course, the village chief recognized Luo Siju. The news was blocked in ancient times. Although Luo Siju had already arrived in the neighboring village, the village chief did not get the news. Therefore, he was very surprised and quickly accused him. After hearing them telling their purpose, he quickly took them to the family where the grave was stolen to ask about the situation.

After inquiring, I learned that the tomb was an old woman who had died of illness for five or six years. Two months ago, someone found a hole in her grave, so I quickly told their family that their descendants crawled into the robbery hole to see it, and found that a large hole was dug in the coffin, and the relics and bones in the coffin were gone. This family was just an ordinary commoner, and there were no valuable burial objects. They were all clothes, copper, iron and jewelry used by the old woman. Unexpectedly, they were still stolen. It was estimated that the tomb robbers were following the creed of not returning empty-handed. Although the collection was not valuable, they also took it away.

This family is just an ordinary person. He was born to be afraid of officials. He could only admit that he was unlucky in such a thing. He didn't expect to go to the yamen to report to the officials. After hearing the story of the Ghost King choosing a concubine, he believed it. So he blocked the thief again and paid tribute to him, so he stopped caring about this matter. Unexpectedly, the yamen came to him on his own initiative.

Lu Jinping proposed to open the thief hole again and go in to investigate. The family seemed a little unhappy when they saw it. However, they didn't dare to say it out loud, so they nodded honestly and followed them to the cemetery, digging the thief hole in the tomb again.

Lu Jinping crawled in and found that there was indeed no tomb inside. The coffin had been dug a large hole. He looked at it with an ultraviolet laser evidence detector and found that there was a smelly bedding in the coffin, and the bones were gone, and there was no strange fluorescent reflector in the coffin.

Before Lu Jinping came in, he checked the hole wall and found no strange signs, so he had to retreat and ordered the stolen hole to be sealed.

Lu Jinping and his friends rushed to the second village where the grave was stolen. This family was also an ordinary poor villager. The deceased was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. The family also heard the story of the Ghost King choosing a concubine. They all hoped that the dead family would be elected as the Ghost King's concubine, so that they could protect the family.

When his family heard that the yamen was going to open the thieves hole again to inspect, the boss was also unhappy, but he didn't dare to offend the yamen, so he had to agree. After the thieves hole was opened, Lu Jinping crawled in and checked in person. The deceased buried in this tomb had been dead for more than ten years. In the empty coffin, he found no remains or any abnormal traces.

Could it be that this female ghost rushed over in panic in order to participate in the Ghost King Selection Competition and even broke off her toes?

Of course, Lu Jinping would not believe in the story of the Ghost King choosing a concubine. Judging from the situation of the tomb, it was obviously dug from outside, which means that the tomb robbers outside digging into the grave instead of the corpse inside digging holes. The common people just don’t pay attention to it. They would rather believe in the legend of the Ghost King choosing a concubine.

There were no useful traces found in this tomb. It was obvious that the tomb robbers wore gloves and left no abnormal traces.

No discovery of two consecutive tombs made Lu Jinping feel a little frustrated, and there was only one last target left. When they arrived at the third village where the tomb was robbed, it was already dark.

And this time, they encountered a thorn.

The owner of the tomb robbed in this family was a local rich man. The ancestor of this rich man used to be a county magistrate during the Sui Dynasty. Although it was a hundred or two hundred years ago, this family was proud of it and was so arrogant that they did not give Luo Siju any face at all.

The tomb robber was buried with an old woman over 70 years old. She was the mother of the rich man, the rich man, and he also heard rumors about the selection of a concubine. However, the old man certainly did not believe it and believed that he was robbed by someone, so he reported to the official. However, the government was helpless in the case. Moreover, his ancestor who had been a county lieutenant in the Sui Dynasty a hundred or two hundred years ago did not bring them much power. The yamen ignored his arrogance at all, which caused him to have certain resistance to the yamen. After all, the emperor was high and the remote mountain village developed the rebellious character of the local rich man. When he learned that the yamen was going to open the robbery hole again to check, the yamen refused, and his face was very bad and he issued an order to expel the guest.

This angered Luo Sifa and ordered the thief hole to be opened forcibly. However, Mr. Wang was not a vegetarian. With the order, dozens of relatives immediately rushed over, holding hoes, sickles and other people surrounding the yamen.

When Luo Shifa saw that if he forced himself, he would be afraid that something would happen, so he did not order to force the hole to be opened and patiently did the old master's job. However, the old master was still unwilling to do his best and firmly disagreed with digging the hole again.

Lu Jinping immediately said to Luo Sifa: "Forget it, since they don't agree, let's not force it. Their graves were stolen and they were also victims, so naturally they can't use force against the victims at will."

Luo Sifa just followed the steps and muttered a few words in anger, leading the people out of the village.

When they returned to Yunshan Village, it was almost late at night. Before they had eaten, they were tired and exhausted, so they quickly went to a banquet with lights.

The gentry in Yunshan Village brought their wives and concubines to toast Lu Jinping. This was the first time Luo Sifa drank alone with Lu Jinping, so he was very polite. After all, Lu Jinping was helping him, so he drank a lot of wine. At this time, Lu Jinping drank a lot of wine, and he was already dizzy when the banquet ended.

That night, they lived in Licunzheng's house. Licunzheng is not a wealthy family, but there is one advantage of rural houses, that is, there are many large rooms, so they don't have to worry about not having a place to live.

Li Cunzheng's wife and concubine personally brought hot water. After Ye Qingqing dressed in Lu Jinping, she washed her feet and face, the people left the house and closed the door.

Lu Jinping did not take off his clothes and go to bed like before, but put on his boots again. Ye Qingqing was a little puzzled and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

Lu Jinping said: "Let's go, let's take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to visit the tomb of Mr. Wang's mother at night. Since he doesn't let us dig a hole and go in, we can only dig it quietly and get it in."

When Ye Qingqing heard that she wanted to visit the grave at night and climb into the grave, she couldn't help but tremble and her pretty face turned pale.

She has martial arts skills, so she doesn't care about fighting with people. However, women have a common problem, that is, they are afraid of ghosts. They really have to go to the grave at night and get into the grave. It's chilling to think about it.

Lu Jinping saw that her face turned pale and smiled, "You little girl, are you scared? Well, then you go to bed first, I'll go alone."

"Sir, Qingqing naturally wants to go with you what you said. But can we go until dawn? Anyway, the grave is a bit far from the village, and the people in the village may not be able to see us."

Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "If you go before dawn, someone will inevitably see it. You can't take it. Then Master Wang has a big family. If he angers him, it will be very troublesome. But we go secretly at night. As long as he is not discovered, even if he knows that someone has dug a hole and entered, he will not do anything to us. Because he has no evidence, we must go tonight."

Seeing that Lu Jinping had to go, Ye Qingqing had to nod.

Lu Jinping said: "You go and steal a small hoe, be careful not to let people discover it."

This was not a problem for Ye Qingqing. Soon, she came back with a short hoe. She carried the survey box on her back, and used a zipline to take Lu Jinping over the wall, left the Li family compound, and headed straight to the village of Old Master Wang and Mr. Wang.
