Chapter 90: You have no discussion on it!

"Say, where did this pure gold incense burner come from?"

"Ask a few of you, this is something that the villain accidentally dug out of the fields when he was plowing the land, and wanted to get it to the city for some money."

"Hehe, is it in the field... I'm afraid it was dug out of the cemetery, and there is also the fishy smell of the underworld. You guy dares to steal the grave and dig the grave. You are so bold. This is the crime of beheading!"

"Ah... I'm sorry, please spare my life. The harvest in the fields this year is not very good. I really can't pay the rent. My parents are sick again. I'm eager to wait for money to get medicine to save my life. The villain really has no choice but to dig a deserted grave with courage... Heaven and earth testify, the villain only took one incense burner, and the rest of the gold, silver and jewelry did not move. The villain never dares to do it again. Save his life, wuwu!"

"Oh, you mean, you only took a pure gold incense burner, and there were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb. Where is that wasteland tomb?"

"Thirty miles southwest of the city - Gaoyang Plain, there is a forest that is rarely visited by people. There are no one around for more than ten miles. There are also big gold ingots, beautiful stones of Hotan, emerald bracelets, and night pearls the size of pigeon eggs... They are all good things, but the villain is timid and dare not take them out."

...

The honest farmer was frightened and knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, and told him about stealing the grave and digging it.

After listening, Wang Biao's eyes lit up instantly, leaving two officers to watch the honest farmer, then pulled the others aside and whispered to each other...

"Brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune is here."

"Boss, what does it mean?"

"Hehe, that silly boy made it clear. He only took a pure gold incense burner, and there were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb. Since that's the case, why don't we take it easy? Just take those gold, silver and jewelry into our hands, but we can't spend it in our lifetimes!"

"Huh!—Huh!"

The yamen runners looked at each other and their breathing became rapid. According to the Tang Dynasty's law: stealing graves and digging tombs is one of the ten evils. Those who violate them will be killed immediately!

If it were normal times, I wouldn’t dare to think about this.

But today, after drinking a lot of wine, my courage suddenly became much stronger, my mind was drowsy, and I didn’t think so clearly about things... The most important thing is that gold, silver and treasures are touching!

Everyone is a yamen runner and worked hard to plunder the people. It only costs more than a dozen chunks of money a month. It will take two restaurants and two more trips to Yichunyuan. The rest of the life is very hard.

If you get the gold, silver and jewelry from the tomb, you will make a fortune. You will quit your job and find a small county town to hide, buy a house and buy a land, marry a wife and concubine, eat a good life every day and drink spicy food. How comfortable it would be!

Thinking of this, more than a dozen yamen runners looked at each other and nodded in unison, seeking wealth and honor in danger - do it!

"Bring that kid here... say, do you want to live or die?"

"Please be kind to you, the villain wants to live!"

"Since you want to live, be obedient. You can do whatever we ask you to do, do you understand?"

"The villain understands, the villain is obedient!"

...

Since I was going to steal graves and dig, I naturally could not wear the clothes of the yamen runners.

Wang Biao and others returned home first, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and then gathered outside the Anhua Gate in the southwest corner of Chang'an, holding pickaxes, shovels, ropes and other tools, took a mule cart with a canopy, and headed straight to Gaoyangyuan under the cover of night...

Gaoyangyuan is located 30 miles southwest of Chang'an City. The terrain here is high and the soil is thick. It is nestled on the Qinling Mountains in the south and Chang'an in the north. It can be regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land.

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many residents in Chang'an City have regarded Gaoyangyuan as a place to sleep a hundred years later, with countless tombs of various sizes, including some historical celebrities: such as the seventeenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang - Princess Gaoyang, an important official of Emperor Gaozong of Tang - Li Chengjia, and a talented woman from Emperor Gaozong of Tang - Shangguan Wan'er... they were all buried here!

As for the graves of officials below the third rank, there are even more as many as the sands of the Ganges River. Among these graves, countless gold, silver and jewelry were buried with them, which also attracted countless thieves, and tomb robbery was quite rampant.

Therefore, after the high-ranking officials and nobles were buried, they would leave behind several gravekeepers to ensure safety and safety.

Over time, villages of all sizes appeared near Gaoyang Plain, and the residents were hereditary tomb guards. They hated tomb robbers very much. As long as they were caught, they would basically be beaten to death!

...

"Where is that deserted grave?"

"It's in the forest ahead, easy to find."

At midnight, under the guidance of the honest farmer, Wang Biao and his group arrived at Gaoyangyuan, wandered around the woods, and found a abandoned tomb!

The soil is only more than one meter high. The two rows of stone statues in front of the tomb are either missing heads, broken arms, or broken in the waist... None of them is complete, the white marble tombstone stands tenaciously. With the bright moonlight, you can vaguely see a row of big characters: Xiuwu County Duke - Shaoqing of Dali Temple - Yang Yuezhi's tomb!

Yang Yue, the younger brother of Yang Su, the first former Sui general, Duke Yue, was insidious and cunning, and had a lot of bad things. He once helped Yang Guang to obtain the position of crown prince and poisoned the deposed crown prince Yang Yong. He was a treacherous minister... He died of illness in the middle of Daye and was buried in Gaoyangyuan!

In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan rose up to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, was defeated, killed, and destroyed the clan... The Yang family's ancestral tomb was also abandoned and no one took care of him anymore.

"Where is the thief hole?"

"Just behind the mound, but before the villain left, he had been refilled."

"Liu Datou, tall and short, you two go outside the woods to catch the wind. If someone approaches, learn to cuckoos and others will open the thief again with me!"

"promise!"

The thief hole was quickly found, about four feet in diameter, just enough to accommodate an adult to drill in and out. Although it was re-sealed, the soil was very soft.

Under the temptation of gold, silver and jewelry, Wang Biao and others were full of energy. In just one hour, they opened the thief hole again. After a little ventilation, they rushed into the tomb...

With the fire, I can see it very clearly that the internal space of the tomb is very large, and it is divided into the main tomb, carriage and horse warehouse, wine utensil, musical instrument warehouse, money warehouse... and so on.

In the main tomb, a huge golden nanmu coffin was parked. Around the coffin was a pure gold incense burner, candlesticks, plates, and rice bowls... Under the illumination of torches, the golden light shone and snarled eyes.

It is said that in order to buy Yang Yue, Yang Guang gave him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Yang Yue himself had no children (he was injured when he was a child and lost his fertility). It seems that he brought all the good things into the grave.

"I sent it, we really sent it this time!"

"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Get things out quickly!"

"good!"

Wang Biao and others rushed up like hungry wolf, looting all the gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jade in the tombs, and then split the coffin with a sharp axe. The burial objects inside were also looted. Even the night pearls in the mouth of the dead corpse were not spared, and they forced them to dig out, outside the coffin of the rotten corpse.

Next, everyone moved the looted things out of the tomb and filled them with several large sacks. Conservatively, it was worth hundreds of thousands of guan, which was enough to last several lifetimes.

Tomb robbing is a serious crime. In order to avoid leaking the news, Wang Biao was preparing to kill someone to silence him, but looking around, the honest farmer disappeared.

"Where did that boy go?"

"I don't know, I was here just now, why did I disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"Everyone searches separately, and immediately silences after finding it. The matters tonight must not be revealed, do you understand?"

"clear!"

...

"Gugu-Gugu!"

Wang Biao and others were about to separate their heads to find the whereabouts of the farmer, but unexpectedly, there were sudden cuckoo cry outside the woods... This was an early warning signal, someone was coming, and there were many.

The birds cried again, and a scream came, indicating that the two yamen runners who had swept the wind were caught.

"Not good, go!"

"Catch the tomb robbers and don't let anyone run away... and fight to the death!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, we are the yamen runners of Jingzhao Mansion!"

"Bah, damn tomb robbers, you dare to pretend to be a yamen runner... Even if you are a yamen runner, you will be punished with the crime and beat them to death!"

Wang Biao and others wanted to escape, but unfortunately it was too late. Hundreds of grave guards surrounded them, held torches and beat them up.

At the beginning, they struggled a few times, but they were soon overwhelmed by the angry crowd, and they screamed in pain...

The tomb guards stopped until they were half dead, and then carried the stolen gold, silver and jewelry, dragged Wang Biao and others like a dead dog, and headed straight for the Chang'an City-Jingzhao Prefecture Office...

What greets Wang Biao and others will be a more severe punishment!

...

"Drink—drink!"

Outside Chang'an City - In the headquarters of the bad people, a celebration banquet is being held, with the toasts and chatting, it is so lively...

"Young Master is really amazing. He just used a little trick and cleaned up Wang Biao's group. They were beaten half to death by the tomb guards, and then escorted to the Jingzhao Prefecture Office."

"I heard that Ji Wen's old face turned green. His subordinates were so angry that the yamen runners actually went to steal graves and dig tombs. He could not escape the crime of lax discipline. The reputation of Jingzhao Mansion is even worse. Who dares to believe them in the future?"

"But Ji Wen is also cruel enough. He directly ordered to beat Wang Biao and his gang to death in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion!"

It turned out that all this was Li Zhao's arrangement: first let the goblin take action, dig out the tomb of the former Sui-Yang Yue, and steal a pure gold incense burner from it.

Then the Thousand-faced Rat disguised herself as a farmer and entered the city with her golden incense burner. She was deliberately discovered by Wang Biao and his gang, which aroused their greed, and then led them to Gaoyangyuan to rob the tomb...

Then the fencer said, leading the nearby grave guards to catch the tomb robbers and beat them half to death... Such a plan is closely linked and without any leakage.

I guess Wang Biao and his group were also a group of confused ghosts when they arrived at the underworld!

As for Yang Yue, a famous treacherous minister of the former Sui Dynasty did countless bad things and deserved to steal his tomb!

"Tell your brothers that the people of Jingzhao Mansion will provoke each other again in the future. Don't conflict with them head-on, but you can come to the dark side: beating a scoundrel, getting a white wolf, and making a trip... Being ruthless is necessary. Do you understand if you beat him to death?"

"promise!"

After this incident, Li Zhao's prestige among bad people has increased a lot. He is both civil and military, generous and generous, and can cover his brothers, which is naturally convinced.

However, Li Zhao also knew that this matter was not over, and Ji Wen would definitely take revenge. The next time he would be more sinister and vicious, he would have to be more careful.
