Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1620
Shen Haolin looked at his side, held the scroll and looked at Shen Cha engrossed, and gently twitched the corners of his lips.

Shen Cha, who was obsessed with the stories in the scroll, suddenly felt that the people around him seemed to be in a good mood, turned around and saw Shen Haolin smiling, and she frowned slightly.

"Is the story in this nice?"

"It's really good, vivid and interesting." Shen Cha nodded, "I didn't know local chronicles and unofficial histories were so interesting before."

"Really?" Shen Haolin leaned over to look at the book in Shen Cha's hand, saw the writing on it, frowned, stretched out his hand to take the book away, saw Shen Cha looking at him with a puzzled face, he smiled, Said, "It's been almost an hour since I watched it, let your eyes rest. Wait a while and ask someone to bring you two larger and brighter candles."

"Okay, listen to brother."

"Think local chronicles are interesting?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "I don't have much contact with it, and I haven't read most of the local chronicles. I always feel that it is not so popular. It feels that it will be far from what really happened. It is the kind that is passed on by the common people. ..." She considered the words for a while, "It's a rumor, but after reading it, I realized that it's not the case. Many details that we ignored in the official history have been well supplemented."

"Do you think that the reason why this kind of thing exists is that it is necessary, right?"

"Brother is right. Many questions left over from reading the official history have been answered very well." Shen Cha smiled, leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Let's not talk about that, just say Let's get down to business, what does your brother think about what General Yan said? Is it possible that the gold mine really exists in Baiya Mountain?"

"Don't ask me first, what do you think?"

"I think..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "At least it's more reliable than the saying that Emperor Tianji's mausoleum is in Baiya Mountain."

"Really? You think so too?" Seeing Shen Cha open his eyes and cast a surprised look at himself, Shen Haolin smiled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not wrong, it's just a bit of a surprise, my brother thinks the same as me."

"It just means that we have a good understanding, right?"

Shen Cha closed his eyes again, and nodded with a smile, expressing his agreement with Shen Haolin's idea.

"Actually, I didn't think it looked like the mausoleum of Emperor Tianji before. The reason is basically the same as what General Yan said." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, took a blanket made of tiger skin from the side, and covered the two of them. He stopped, and said softly, "When Emperor Tianji passed away, it was hot summer, and the body was not well preserved, and at that time, no one should have thought about it."

"Well, what's more, at least two months from the capital city to Wuzhou city, which is still the time needed for a light vehicle, and if it is a funeral, it will take three and a half months. Even if the palace has the kind of spices that prevent corpses from rotting, it can prevent them from rotting. Ten days and a half months, the body cannot be kept as it is for three and a half months, right? Besides, after the death of Emperor Tianji, the world was in chaos, and the road from the capital to Wuzhou City was not very peaceful. This is dangerous. Therefore, the elders have always said that this is very likely to be the mausoleum of Emperor Tianji, so I have doubts."

"Hearing that the Empress Dowager may be the descendant of Emperor Tianji, I suspect that Baiya Mountain has nothing to do with Emperor Tianji's mausoleum, right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Although the Chang family is messed up, the business they do is not a clean one, but you said that they would never dare to dig up their ancestors' tombs as the descendants of Emperor Tianji. This is something that will be struck by lightning, and it will also harm the children and grandchildren. Those people really have no taboos, but when it comes to the children and grandchildren, they are still very cautious, right?" She opened her eyes and looked at Shen Haolin, and said with a smile, " Elder brother won't think I'm alarmist, will he?"

"I was just wondering, how do you know this?"

"I heard some from the master, read some in books, and mentioned it. Brother also knows that I am a little interested in this aspect."

"That's right, it's something you like."

"Both Yan Bo and Master have mentioned that the Chang family and later the Empress Dowager had a team of Mojin school captains who specialize in robbing tombs. I heard that there are many rules and taboos in this industry, and one of them is not to do it." Don’t steal the tombs of your own ancestors, otherwise, you will be punished by heaven.”

"Has no one ever violated this rule?"

"Yes, I heard it didn't end well, it was miserable." Shen Cha sighed, and then leaned on Shen Haolin's shoulder and closed his eyes again to rest his mind, "So that later, if anyone in their line of work violated this rule, they would be punished. They will be purged." She half-opened her eyes and looked at Shen Haolin, "Brother, don't want this expression, don't you believe it, they are well-informed in this business, at least much more well-informed than we imagined."

"After you heard that the Empress Dowager is the descendant of Emperor Tianji, and that her subordinates have raised Captain Mojin, you became even more convinced that Baiya Mountain is not the mausoleum of Emperor Tianji, but why didn't you say it all the time?"

"Because there is no evidence, it's just my guess. Uncle Yan and Master really went to Baiya Mountain, and Uncle Huang went to investigate Baiya Mountain because of Xian Boyuan, but we never went, and even before that, even after listening to Never heard of it, right? We like this, it’s not easy to say that the elders are wrong. But now General Yan has also been there, and he said that the place is not a mausoleum, but a mausoleum. Gold mine, then his words are more convincing than ours."

"Well, that's true. We really don't have any real evidence." Shen Haolin nodded, "Actually, from the hero conference that Xian Boyuan attended, to Yan Bo and Master's visit to Baiya Mountain, they all vaguely prove that that place is not What a mausoleum, but a mine."

"They all have the same description of Baiya Mountain, that is, no grass grows."

"That's right!" Shen Haolin smiled, "This is the most obvious feature of the mine. Because there are mineral deposits underground, there is no living thing growing on the ground. It's just that Master was attracted by Xian Boyuan's tragic death. The master was attracted by pretending to be gods and ghosts, but he ignored this characteristic that should have been obvious."

"Hmph, if it's really a gold mine, Brother Xiaojue will be so happy." Shen Cha curled her lips and said in a low voice, "It's not a day or two for him to be dissatisfied with the Ministry of Accounts. With the windfall, the household department may have a better impression in brother Xiaojue's heart."

"It's also possible that it's the household department's turn to feel that your brother Xiaojue is being picky."
