Wu Qiubei's judgment is quite accurate, these tomb robbers have indeed not left the territory of Jimo County.

In Jimo now, a few middle-aged men with nothing to do are very conspicuous walking on the street. It's very simple, because after the autumn harvest, everyone is either busy selling autumn grain, or busy doing odd jobs to earn spare money, or they are recruited by the government to work as a private man to transport grain and grass.

So when these people were arrested on the road and stopped for interrogation, they didn't answer a few words, and they immediately revealed their stuffing. After a brief fight, several of the trappers, who were clearly not opponents, were knocked to the ground, and the six tomb robbers, who had divided into two groups, gathered together and fled.

But it's a pity that there are stuck points everywhere on the road, and then, they hit the hands of Liu Santong and several people who rushed to hear the news.

Tao Pu also made a capital this time. lent several horses in the yamen to Liu Santong, hoping that Liu Santong could catch up with and catch these bastards who caused his career to encounter a crisis as soon as possible after getting the news.

Liu Santong lived up to Tao Pu's hopes.

With only two companions, almost with the power of one person and one sword, all six tomb robbers were killed and none of them were killed. This made Tao Pu overjoyed, and the dead criminals were naturally not worth as much as the living ones.

In less than three days, a major case that shook Jimo was solved, and Jimo's public security was also raised to a new level. Especially after seeing six guys with broken arms and legs being stacked in sacks on horse-drawn carriages and roaming the streets of the city.

Tao Puxi smiled, his position was worry-free, maybe he could get a top spot at the end of the year with this merit and then receive more rewards, Liu Santong was also very happy, because he came for two days, he got a bonus of one hundred silver dollars, and the ten friends who came with him each got five silver dollars, and he got half of them.

This money was so easy to earn that when he was leaving, Yin Yin entrusted Tao Pu to have such a good thing in the future, and he must be notified as soon as possible. Provoked Taup to glare at him!

Could it be that you still want to be happy if there is such a big case in Jimo?

However, Wu Qiubei was not very happy, because the burial goods found from these guys confirmed his thoughts. The most crucial piece of evidence is a broken family tree that is already somewhat tattered.

This enclosed tomb is indeed a member of the royal family today.

It is a branch of the descendants of Li Shimin, the famous general of Tiance Mansion at the time of the founding of the country.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin was defeated in the battle with the crown prince, the king of Qi and others, and lived in the palace of the king of Qin, and after his depressed death, the descendants were still not let go, under the suppression, they scattered in all directions, one of them was relegated to Jimo, the earliest one arrived in Jimo, and still had the title of the marquis, so there was this sealed tomb.

It's just that his descendants were suppressed by the royal relay of the current dynasty, and one generation was not as good as the next, and in the end, they fell to the common people, and even this family cemetery was finally unknown to anyone.

The thieves had dug up only a few graves on the outskirts of the cemetery.

Wu Qiubei sighed for a long time, the case was solved, Tao Pu was naturally fine, but the rest of the matter fell on him, the county honorable. But if anything involves the royal family, it's not good.

Even if it is a fallen royal family, there is a lot of trouble.

After pondering for a long time, he began to put pen to paper.

A few days later, the secret letter and the corresponding evidence were all on the desk of Zhang Xun, the governor of Shandong.

It is a felony to dig up graves.

It is a felony to die four people.

It's hard to say what kind of crime it is when the royal family is involved.

And the case has already spread.

In such a case, naturally only the boss on the governor's side can make an idea.

Zhang Xun didn't pay much attention to it at first.

He doesn't care what royal family is not royal, as Li Ze's confidant, he knows very well that after Li Ze recovers Chang'an, this Li Tang royal family is afraid that it will cease to exist. Putting this aside, it is a simple grave-digging homicide. The guy who digs the grave will not end well at any time, even if there is no fire and accomplices, it is a dead word.

Therefore, Zhang Xun picked up this file after he had finished dealing with some other urgent official duties, and before he was ready to go to bed late at night.

The only thing that made him curious was the identity of the owner of the tomb in this case.

But when he opened the case file and saw the owner of the first grave that was dug up, he was stunned, because this name is so familiar!

Li Gong is afraid of Jinglong.

Li Jinglong, where have you heard this name?

I tilted my head and thought about it for a while, but I really didn't think about it for a while.

However, the half jade jue that was broken off in the next case file made him feel like he was struck by lightning.

He'd seen it before.

It's also half a piece, and this one is one left and one right.

From this jade, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this Li Jinglong's name.

It is the Li family temple.

It is the family temple of Li Xiang's family.

The half of the jade is enshrined in the family temple of Li Xiang's family, and it is said that this is the only object handed down by their ancestors.

And Li Jinglong is Li Anguo's great-grandfather. It is the person with the highest position enshrined in the Li family temple, and further up, according to Li Anguo, there is really no relevant clue.

Because Li Anguo's grandfather died early, the Li family at that time was just a poor people, Li Anguo's grandfather was outside in order to make a living, and Li Anguo's father was only ten years old at that time.

Zhang Xun only felt that there were patches of thunder in his head that kept exploding, only to make him dizzy and his eyes were full of stars.

"Come on, send me all the case files and evidence of the Jimo tomb robbery case immediately!" He banged vigorously on the table, his voice a little out of tune.

"Governor, now?" The scribe in the public house, who had already packed up his pen and ink and was ready to leave work, looked at the governor in surprise.

"Now, right now!" Zhang Xun paced around the room with some irritation, this matter was too big, so big that he felt a little unbearable on his shoulders.

Seeing that Zhang Xun's expression was a little wrong, the scribe didn't dare to say more, so he pulled his legs and ran out, but he sighed secretly in his heart, I was afraid that today would be another all-nighter. He was a little puzzled, it was just an ordinary tomb robbery case, why did the governor who had a lot of opportunities lose his temper so much?

It didn't take long for the relevant case files and evidence to be delivered to Zhang Xun's desk, as well as Li Zhi, who was in charge of the prison after hearing the news. Zhang Xun found the broken family tree as quickly as possible, it was found from the third excavated grave, although the pages were missing, and the handwriting was blurred in some places, but it was still clear in general.

After Li Zhi listened to the general explanation, he immediately fell into a stupor, and it took a long time to lower his voice and say: "In this way, Li Xiang is the descendant of King Qin back then?" ”

Zhang Xun didn't speak, took a deep breath and looked at Li Zhi, but his expression said it all.

Li Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Governor, what should I do now?" Do you want to report this to Li Xiangyu immediately? ”

"It's a big matter, and you can't be sloppy!" Zhang Xundao: "If you make a mistake, you and I will really be unable to eat and walk away, and the impact is even more incalculable." Li Beijia, you immediately take a soldier and horse to Jimo to protect this cemetery, and I, immediately repair the book and go to Wuyi, inform Mr. Gongsun and his father, as well as the Cao Ministry of Officials, of course, more importantly, Li Anmin and Li Bingbu, this matter, Li Bingbu has more right to speak. Where is Li Xiang, don't tell me for the time being, and wait for everything to have some eyebrows, and then talk about other things. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Li Zhi nodded repeatedly.

"Inform the internal guards and ask them to send someone to follow them!" Looking at Li Zhi's back, Zhang Xun said loudly.

Yu Qiubei of Jimo didn't expect such a strong reaction in the governor's mansion, and actually sent a heavily armed force to Jimo, and the leader was the No. 3 person in Shandong Province, and he was even more nervous in his heart.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Speaking of which, the current emperor is just a small transparent child in Wuyi, and he doesn't care at all, and a royal family tomb that has long since declined can be such a big battle?

Although there are doubts, they can only be hidden in their hearts. carefully cooperated with Li Zhi to do the blockade work, and Li Zhi, who had a calm face, refused to say a superfluous word.

The 800-mile expedited secret mail was quickly delivered to Wuyi.

Gongsun Changming and Zhang Xun sat opposite each other.

"Everything is seamless!" Gongsun Changming looked at Zhang Xundao: "This cemetery is really the village of King Qin, the family tomb of Jimo Hou back then, but this one has been cut off from the incense." The only thing I faked was the tomb that was first discovered, and everything else was real. ”

"That tomb of Li Jinglong?"

"Not bad. Including that important jade. After I kept the half of the jade jue and the piece in the Li Xiang ancestral hall, it was seamless! Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

"What about the people involved in this matter? Is it dead or alive? ”

"Does it matter?" Gongsun Changming glanced at Zhang Xun and said: "Don't ask about these things, just believe me." ”

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, and he heard a thick bloody breath from Gongsun Changming's words.

"The grave robbers?"

"It's a real grave robber who doesn't know anything."

"This matter should also be hidden from Li Anmin and Li Xiang?"

"I'm afraid Li Xiang can't hide it, he must know it in his heart, but Li Anmin, why let him know the truth, he thinks all this is true, wouldn't it be better?" Gongsun Changming said with a smile.
