Chapter 70

After receiving this news, Lu Jinping was confident and immediately returned to Datou's cell. Before he got close, he heard screams inside. It turned out that Captain Xiong was forcing Datou to confess. However, Datou seemed to have clearly known that once the matter was confessed, his head would be lost, so he gritted his teeth and refused to explain.

Lu Jinping asked Captain Xiong to stop torture and at the same time showed the confessions of the two subordinates.

Datou heard that the two had confessed, especially those involved in the tomb robbers, his psychological defense finally collapsed. He confessed to the grave of General Li and Grandma Zhu with his two subordinates.

Datou confessed that although he knew that robbing the general's ancestral tomb was a death sentence, the entrusted person had too high bid, and the other people didn't want it by name. They also sent someone to supervise it and confirmed that it was indeed the corpse dug out of the ancestral tomb of General Li's ancestral tomb. Then he paid for it. In front of the copper coins piled up like a hill, Datou could not resist the temptation, so he decided to risk the thief of the general's ancestral grandmother. Then, he explained the address of the person who bought the corpse.

After hearing this, Lu Jinping was a little surprised. Why did this family ask for the corpse of General Li’s grandmother?

The answer will be revealed in a few days.

Luo Siju reported to Governor Feng for successfully solving the robbery of General Li’s grandmother’s grave, and Governor Feng personally reported to General Li.

General Li was overjoyed and immediately took people to the house where the corpse was purchased for arrest. At the same time, he wanted to welcome the corpse of grandma back.

However, when I arrived, I realized that the family who bought the corpse was actually an official of the court. They had sufficient evidence to prove that General Li's grandmother remarried. The family who bought the corpse of General Grandma was the son of the grandmother's ex-husband. General Li's grandmother forced her son to divorce her wife because she did not get the likes of her ex-husband's mother. The general's grandmother remarried to the general's grandfather. However, her ex-husband always liked this wife, and under the threat of her mother, she had to divorce her wife. The rest of her life was extremely painful.

After his death, his descendants were very filial. After discussion, they found Datou and paid a lot of money to dig the grave and secretly stole General Li's grandmother's bones and buried them with their ex-husband.

After learning about the cause and effect of the incident, General Li was silent. He was also an extremely filial person. He had heard that this grandmother had remarried. Moreover, when they arrived at their Li family, they were depressed, and the reason was unknown. Unexpectedly, they had such a complicated background.

General Li's grandfather died in the battlefield and died in the chaos, and his body was not found. Therefore, after General Li's grandmother passed away, he was just buried with his grandfather's clothes. Now he has a home together with her ex-husband, which is better than burying alone in one place. Since she has been buried in peace, why bother to dig it out and buried alone in another place.

So, General Li did not insist on asking for the corpse or arrest the other party for punishment, and went back in disappointment.

At noon that day, Lu Jinping and Ye Qingqing were decorating a room in the old house.

In the morning, they went to buy back the big bed, small bed, and some tables, chairs and benches sold by the old house.

The money comes from a bounty because he solved the robbery of General Li's grandmother's grave. Although General Li did not invite his mother's remains back for burial in the end, he was very satisfied with the investigation of the case and gave a bounty. Luo Sifa gave almost all the bonuses to Lu Jinping, because if it weren't for him, it would not be solved at all.

Lu Jinping also accepted the money honestly and unceremoniously. He had already found out where the furniture was originally sold. The scholar he possessed was pawned to the pawn shop. Because it was not returned for the period of time, it was considered a no-sale sale. The ownership was given to the pawn shop. The pawn shop was sent to the furniture store for sale. Because these furniture were all old antiques for hundreds of years and were very exquisite, not many people could afford it. Moreover, there were not many people who like to collect old antiques. Therefore, these furniture was basically not sold and they were well placed in the antique furniture store.

However, what bothered Lu Jinping was that he inquired and it would cost a lot of money to buy back these furniture. General Li's reward could only buy a large bed and a small bed, as well as some tables, chairs and benches.

Lu Jinping originally wanted to see what these old furniture looked like, because Ye Qingqing had seen them and he did not inherit the memory of the scholar, so he didn't know what these furniture looked like. When he saw them, he fell in love with them immediately. These furniture were very suitable for the old house. They were customized by Mr. Lu in the style of Jia Lao's house. He specially hired skilled craftsmen to use them all with excellent wood. After reading them, Lu Jinping decided to buy these antique furniture at all costs.

His salary alone was far from enough. Fortunately, General Li was very generous in his case. He gave the reward and redeem two beds of the most practical furniture for them first. Then he agreed with the shopkeeper of the old antique furniture that if someone wanted to buy the original furniture of the Lu family, he would notify him first. He saw if he could buy it at the same price, after all, these things were originally from theirs.

The shopkeeper of the furniture store already knew that Lu Jinping was not the destitute lord of the past and had already become an official in the yamen, so of course he agreed to Lu Jinping's request, and promised to notify him first if someone wanted to buy it and sell it to him at the same price.

With the guarantee of the shopkeeper, Lu Jinping was a little relieved and could calmly save money to redeem the furniture. This old house is matched with this antique furniture, which is made of heaven and earth. Only when living in such an antique old house can life be considered moist.

The furniture was also arranged according to Ye Qingqing's recollection of the place where the furniture was placed, and it was restored as much as possible. After the furniture was arranged, Lu Jinping hugged his shoulders and admired it. He felt that the bedroom looked like that now, but unfortunately, the other rooms were basically all over the house. I don't know that all the furniture could be invited back again in the Year of the Monkey and Horses.

At this moment, a bang knock came from the front yard. Ye Qingqing said to Lu Jinping: "I'll go and have a look."

After a while, Ye Qingqing led a detective in. The detective was sweating all over his head and said, "Sir, something happened. A body was found in the woods outside the city. Luo Sifu asked me to ask you to go for a autopsy to see if it was a murder."

Lu Jinping immediately asked Ye Qingqing to carry his forensic survey box and go out with him.

Three horses were parked outside the door, led by this constable. Lu Jinping and Ye Qingqing turned over and came to the yamen.

When I arrived at the yamen, I happened to meet Luo Sifa, with Captain Xiong and the constables coming out. When I saw Lu Jinping, Luo Sifa bowed and said, "Sir, someone found a dead body with blood on the dead body. It might be a murder. I will report it to the official. Thank you again this time."

Lu Jinping bowed: "You are polite, how did you find the body?"

"The body is in the woods not far from the post road outside Dongcheng. A few passers-by passed by. One of the merchants had a stomachache. Thinking of the convenience in the woods, he found the body. It was a female corpse. He looked like he was about thirty years old and had blood on his body. His lower body was naked, and he seemed to have been raped and killed. So he went to the yamen to report to the official."

Lu Jinping asked: "Have you verified the identities of these merchants?"

The reporter must first rule out the suspect, because in some cases, the thief is calling for robbers, and the reporter is a criminal, so the first thing to be ruled out is the reporter.

Luo Sifa was stunned for a moment and said, "How to verify this?"
