Chapter 532 Royal gift sword, Xue Huining's despair
Gu Chen's face was not very good-looking. He had already learned about the lost things from Lei Zi, and his face was full of depression. "That sword was rewarded by the emperor after his grandfather won the battle. I have never seen it. No one dared to move the sword after he died. In addition, his grandfather was very precious, so he put it down and buried it with him. I have forgotten this after so many years."
Xue Huining almost vomited blood and said angrily: "You really regard money as dirt, fame and fortune as clouds. You can forget such a big thing! Now, if you lose things, I'm going to be in trouble!"
As he spoke, Xue Huining felt that he was so miserable and wished he could cry.
He saw Yun Yue with goose bumps all over the floor when he saw this, and looked at Gu Chen for help, "Brother Chen, what should I do about this? Will it make a big deal?"
Gu Chen shrugged and sighed: "The emperor must say that, but after many years, no one expected that the ancestral tomb would be stolen. The emperor would not blame the Liu family. However, Brother Xue will inevitably be given a crime of improper governance by the emperor. The most important thing now is to find out when the things were lost. If it was gone before Brother Xue took office, it would be fine. If it was lost during his tenure, this matter would not be good."
That's right, but Yun Yue always felt that Gu Chen was not worried at all, and even gloated.
Yun Yue looked at Gu Chen suspiciously.
Xue Huining was about to collapse, so she rushed towards Gu Chen and wailed: "Brother Liu! You can't stand by death and refuse to save him! This is your family's business, but in the end I want me to take the blame. What's the reason? Feng Fang and the others have checked it. No grave is spared in the entire grave. All the burial objects are gone. Do you think your ancestors did something that was so angry that they were hated!"
Gu Chen and Yun Yue both had a black face and glared at Xue Huining. If he hadn't cried too miserably, Gu Chen would have wanted to pick him up and beat him up, but they didn't know that all the burial objects in the grave were gone. The two looked at Feng Fang in surprise.
Feng Fang's back chills and quickly presented the account book with both hands, "Head of Liu, Mrs. Liu, these are the families who lost things, and everything they missed was registered on them. To be honest, we dug all day long, but we didn't see a penny. In all the graves, except bones, there were only clothes worn on the body of the bones. What's more amazing is that some graves looked better, and even the shrouds on the body of the bones were peeled off."
Feng Fang's face was very subtle when he thought of the cemetery he saw today. He couldn't figure out what those tomb robbers wanted to do for a shroud. Could it be that he could use it himself?
Gu Chen and Yun Yue were even disgusting as if they had eaten flies. They even took the shroud. This was not just tomb robbers. After thinking about it, Gu Chen looked at Xue Huining seriously, "At this point, the only way is to quickly find the whereabouts of these things, or catch these thieves. It has been a long time since we checked it, but some precious burial objects can still be traced.
In addition, I don’t know whether the thief knows the origin of the sword. If he doesn’t know, he will definitely leak out, and it will be easier to check it out.”
This seemed to open a window of hope for Xue Huining. He suddenly stood up and said loudly to Feng Fang: "Hurry up, do as the leader of the Liu family said, and bring these hateful tomb robbers to justice! Hurry up, why are you standing stupidly?"
Feng Fang swallowed, held the sword and said helplessly and pitifully: "Sir, the city gates are closed now. Without your handwriting, you can't get into the job!"
Xue Huining was stunned and patted her head in annoyance. She was afraid that she would come out and forgot to bring the seal. She had no choice but to let Feng stay in the other courtyard for one night.
When Gu Chen and his wife returned to the room, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Brother Chen, what do you think this is all about! The Liu family is also the first family in Chaozhou after all. Who dares to attack the Liu family's ancestral grave like this when they are full?" Yun Yue frowned, hugged her chest with her hands, and a wave of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Gu Chen lay down directly, stretching his muscles and bones, and said lazily: "Who is not clear, but I can guess it. The entire Chaozhou is probably the only stolen ancestral tomb of our family. Others should be fine."
"Hmm?" Yun Yue looked back at Gu Chen in surprise, "How do you say this? Do you know something?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I really don't know anything, but the bones of my ancestors are still there, so there is no need to worry. If something happens like this, I can just repair the grave in a legitimate way. No matter how big the noise is, others have nothing to say. And I hope this matter gets bigger and bigger, and maybe there will be unexpected gains."
Yun Yue was still puzzled, but Gu Chen didn't want to say much.
The next morning, before dawn, Xue Huining rushed back to Jingbei City with a group of subordinates.
When Yun Yue woke up, she came to report that the clan members were asking for a meeting outside and had to go out to see people.
When she arrived at the front yard, she found that almost every household had sent representatives.
The third elder seemed to have been several years old overnight, and looked haggard. It seemed that the stolen ancestral tomb had a great impact on him.
Yun Yue looked around and found that there was Liu Xingyu in the crowd. The surprise in her eyes was fleeting.
Before she could think about how to speak, the third elder and others were anxious and said uneasy: "Madam, we are here today to ask you and the head of the family, what should we do about the ancestral grave?"
Seeing that they were really worried, Yun Yue said seriously: "Theft of the ancestral tomb is a major event of the Liu family. I believe you are worried, and Mrs. Xue is also anxious. However, Mrs. Xue has sent someone to investigate the specific situation. It will take time. There is one thing you may not know. There is one thing that is given by the emperor in the lost burial objects. Now the matter has to be reported to the court. Mrs. I believe that the court will also send someone to investigate soon, so everyone can rest assured."
When most of the tribe members were relieved when they heard that the imperial court would come, some were curious about what the imperial gift was. They just saw that Yun Yue didn't want to say more, so they smiled and stopped.
After appeaseing the tribe, the third elder also took the lead in leaving, but Liu Xingyu stayed.
Yun Yue curled her lips slightly and said playfully: "What? Is there anything to do with my wife? Or... do you also care about the ancestral grave?"
Liu Xingyu shook her head solemnly, looked outside the mansion, and saw that no one was staying there, so she walked closer and said in a low voice: "Madam, there is something I don't know if I should say?"
