Chapter 50 Grandma's Stolen

Luo Sifa picked up the teacup on the tea table and took a sip, shook his head and said, "Sir, is this tea delivered by the yamen?"

The welfare benefits of officials in the Tang Dynasty were very high. In addition to their salaries, officials would also regularly and irregularly distribute various physical objects, including various tea leaves. Of course, the distribution of tea is divided into levels. The higher the level, the better the tea is. Low-level officials are just ordinary tea leaves.

Lu Jinping said: "It's enough to drink tea, and I don't care about good or bad. And I don't like drinking tea very much, so I don't care much."

In fact, Lu Jinping said this a bit against his will. It was not that he didn't like drinking tea. Before traveling through time, he drank tea, but modern tea was different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Tea in the Tang Dynasty had to be decorated with various seasonings and the cooking method was different. Therefore, the taste in his mouth was completely different from that of the modern ones, just like a medicinal soup. It was very strange and even difficult to swallow.

Luo Sifa smiled and said to Captain Xiong beside him: "You go to my signing room and take the newly opened box of tea on my case."

Captain Bear quickly agreed and ran out like a flying. After a while, he held a beautifully decorated tea box in his hand and sent it to Luo Sifa. Luo Shifa opened it and smelled it, nodded, and delivered it to Lu Jinping and said, "You can try this tea, it's not bad."

Lu Jinping took the tea box and took a look. Because the teas in the Tang Dynasty were basically brick tea, they needed to be broken down and crushed with a grinder before making tea, so he could tell at a glance that it was newly opened and had not been used yet. A whole piece of brick tea was completely finished. After smelling it, the color and fragrance were obviously much better than his own tea.

He put the tea on the tea table and said to Luo Sifa with a smile: "The courtesy must be something for others. Luo Sifa gave me such precious tea, so I must have something to tell me, right?"

"I dare not take the order, but I have something to ask you, Sir. Sir can tell at a glance. It's so amazing." Luo Sifa smiled apologized.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Luo Sifa looked at the captain Bear next to him. The captain Bear had more respectful smiles on his face, and even a little frightened.

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Seeing you two's sneaky and hesitant look, it's a tricky thing. After that, as long as I can help, there is nothing I don't agree."

This is true. Although the comments from the governor Feng asked him to assist Luo Shiju in investigating the case, it was just helping. His responsibility was still the administrator of the medicinal materials warehouse, so he was just helping Luo Shiju and Xiong. This was very clear to both of them, so Luo Shiju was so polite, giving tea and saying good things.

Hearing Lu Jinping say this, Luo Sifa seemed to have made up his mind and said, "That's right. There is a very difficult case that has not been solved for a while. It has been very tight recently and we are under great pressure. So, the last time the case was solved very beautifully. Captain Xiong and I thought that if the case is helped by Lord Xiong, there should still be hope for it to be solved. I just don't know if Lord Xiong is willing to help?"

Lu Jinping said, "Why be so polite? Governor Feng said that I would help you investigate the case, so just tell me what kind of case it is!"

Luo Sifa couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly stood up and bowed and said, "That's all thanks to Master Jue. That's right. There is a general in our Tongzhou who has been dug up. This general is quite famous. Even the governor has respected him very much. His case has never been solved. The general urges him every day, so governor Feng and I have a headache."

"What general is so powerful?"

"This general's surname is Li, and he is General Yunhui of the Northern Imperial Army. You should know that the Northern Imperial Army was developed by the personal guards around him when Emperor Taizu raised his troops in Taiyuan. Because of his noble status, this position was almost passed down from ancestors. General Li has been the fourth generation. The ancestral home of General Li is Yunshan Village, Tongzhou Prefecture, where his ancestral tombs were found. A few days ago, General Li's grandmother's tomb was robbed. Not only was the burial objects wiped out, but the corpse of Grandma was disappeared. This made General Li very angry. He went to the yamen several times to meet Governor Feng and forced the case to solve the case. But this case was justified.

After many investigations, many people arrested and confessed a lot, but they never found the stolen items of burial, let alone the bones of General Li's grandmother. General Li was extremely angry. Not only did he go directly to the yamen to force the case to solve the case, but he also supervised the case several times through Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. We tried our best without any clues. This case was very difficult. Last time, the murder case occurred in Yuan Zhou's home, I hurried back, and urged to solve the case because General Li urged him to kill him. General Li would send people to the Tongzhou Yamen every few days to make a big fuss, scolding us so hard that we were so angry."

"It's useless to scold you anymore. If you can't find the clues in a case, you can't find it. Some cases are headless cases and have no clue at all. There is nothing you can do about such cases."

Luo Sifa laughed and said, "Yes, yes, but that's it, but he will not let go of General Li's grandmother's corpse. If we can't solve this case, I'm afraid he will demolish our yamen. Every time the governor Feng sees him, he will be overwhelmed, but there is no way."

Lu Jinping said: "You have arrested so many people and used up all the means but failed to solve this case. I am afraid I can do nothing."

When Luo Sifa heard this, he couldn't help but look disappointed and opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything.

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "However, since Luo Sifa came to me and asked me for help, if I don't participate, I'm afraid it won't be reasonable. Besides, the Governor Feng asked me to assist you in investigating the case, but I'm afraid it's mainly for this case, right? Since he has such a headache, if someone who has hopes to solve the case, he is of course the happiest to be happiest, even if this person is just a warehouse administrator. It's better to have hope than to have no hope."

Luo Sifa laughed dryly and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the sir of the Lord's eyes. It is indeed. I mentioned the case that Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law was killed. The Lord's investigation was very exciting. Before I mentioned this case, Feng took the initiative to ask you to participate in the investigation of General Li's ancestral tomb stolen case. If you can solve this case, it will be a big event in his heart. Of course, this is just a good beginning. As long as the Lord solves this case, he will naturally be appreciated by Feng, and the Lord's future will be broad."

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to put a high hat on me, but you should work together to solve the case as soon as possible. I firmly believe that no matter who did the case, he will leave more or less clues. It depends on whether we can catch these things, follow the clues, and find out the murderer behind the scenes. Therefore, you need to give me as much relevant information as possible. You will first talk about the situation of this case."

Luo Sifa quickly said: "I know very well about this case. It's like this. About a month ago, the village official in General Li's hometown, was surnamed Li. He personally went to the yamen to report the case, saying that a big hole was dug in General Li's family's ancestral tomb. We didn't know at that time, because General Li was not ostentatious, and we didn't know that his ancestral tomb is here, but the locals were proud of it and were the pride of the village. Therefore, after their ancestral tomb was dug, someone immediately discovered it and came to report the case immediately. We then learned that General Yunhui, the ancestral tomb beside the emperor, was in our Tongzhou. After I quickly reported to Governor Feng, I hurriedly led people to the ancestral tomb of General Li in Yunshan Village. Sure enough, I saw a big hole on the tomb, and there were a lot of scattered footprints on the ground..."

Lu Jinping's heart moved: "There are footprints?"

"Yes, because it rained the first day, Li Xiang said that he had sent someone to check it out. All the burial objects in the coffin were stolen, and General Li's grandmother's corpse was gone, and only one empty coffin was inside. We began to investigate. Anyone who had a grudge with the Li family, some thieves, and those who had robbed tombs before, as long as they were possible to commit crimes, were arrested and tortured. There were indeed many people confessing, but they were obviously tortured but confessed randomly, because they could not tell where the burial objects and corpses were, and they could not find these things in the places where they confessed."

"Then have these people been released?"
