Chapter 120
Jiang Tingxiu seldom spoke on weekdays, and when faced with Mianmian's question, he only answered two words, "It's all good."

"Really? Did the second and third cousins ​​miss me? Have they done their homework? Mianmian has already done her homework."

"You'll know when you see them."

"Also, and... Fifth Uncle, he..."

Jiang Tingxiu was a little afraid of Mianmian's nagging nature, so he quickly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Mo.

It was only then that Mianmian remembered, "Uncle Six, have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?"

Jiang Tingxiu's ears turned red, "No, uh."

Mianmian hurriedly asked Xiaoxiazi Hongkui to go to the kitchen to warm up the dishes.

Mianmian excitedly gave Jiang Tingxiu the fruit shared by the children in the village.

While enjoying Mianmian's service, Jiang Tingxiu raised the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, a smell wafted to Mianmian's nose, she sniffed it vigorously, and then frowned tightly.

It's like the leaves on the grass in the mountains are rotten, which is disgusting. Uncle Liu has always loved to be clean, so how could he allow such a smell to stick to his body?

Could it be that the matter in Jiangling County is urgent and the sixth uncle can't take care of so much, if this is the case, Mianmian should go to help.

"Uncle Six, what's the smell on you?"

Jiang Tingxiu lowered his head and sniffed it, but also disliked the smell, "Maybe it was accidentally stuck on, Mianmian, please stay away from me, don't get it on your body."

Although Mianmian didn't like the smell, she liked Uncle Six. Not only did she not move away, but she got closer.

"Mianmian doesn't dislike it. Mianmian likes whatever Uncle Six has become. Uncle Six, you haven't said where the smell comes from?"

Jiang Tingxiu shook his head, obviously not wanting to say anything.

Although Mianmian was curious, she didn't ask. Instead, she fetched a basin of water, moistened it with a small handkerchief, and wiped his face with it.

Jiang Tingxiu felt warm in his heart, suddenly he thought of something and asked, "These days when I'm not here, have you practiced the kung fu I entrusted to you?"

Mianmian lowered her head with a guilty conscience and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I haven't practiced much recently, but don't worry, Uncle Liu, I have been exercising."

She runs around with the children in the village every day, which should be regarded as exercise.

Jiang Tingxiu stared at her for a long time until Xiao Xiazi finished heating the food.

At this time, Mr. Mo's face in the room changed drastically. He thought for a while, picked up a pen and began to write on the paper.

Mian Mian ran into the house: "Master, Master, what did Fourth Uncle write in the letter? Does he need help? Shall we hurry there?"

Mr. Mo was writing a reply letter when he heard that he handed the letter to Mianmian.

Mianmian looked at it seriously, and raised her confused eyes after a while.

"Master, the letter said that ancient tombs were discovered in Jiangling County. What are ancient tombs?"

"An ancient tomb is a cemetery." Mr. Mo took the time to answer.

Mianmian understood that the cemetery is the place where the dead are buried, and the ancient tombs should be the place where many dead people are buried.

"Master, are there a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the ancient tombs? Did the jewelry that we found in Suzhou come from Jiangling County come from inside?"

Mr. Mo glanced at Mianmian appreciatively and nodded: "That's right, combined with your fourth uncle's investigation, everything has become clear. The ancient tombs were discovered in Jiangling County. In order to collect the ancient tombs from the ancient tombs, the county magistrate Hu Taking the treasure as their own, and using money to open the way, caused the officials of the whole Youzhou to conceal it, and they worked together as one, this matter is very big, and it may involve many people.”

Mr. Mo reminded: "Mianmian, your fourth uncle told you to stay here, don't act rashly for now, don't go out and walk around these days, you understand?"

"understood."

Jiang Jixun and the others arrived in Jiangling County about half a month earlier than Mianmian.

At that time, the county magistrate of Jiangling County went in and out of the city gate to greet them in person, and learned that they came for the life lawsuit in Jiangling County. County magistrate Hu also cooperated very much and handed over all the witness statements of the investigation to Jiang Jixun.

I'm afraid it's not enough.

Jiang Jixun felt that magistrate Hu was too enthusiastic, a little too enthusiastic, but when he was investigating the case, he found no clues in the case file.

If it wasn't for someone who had sorted out the case files in advance, or the county magistrate Hu had already thoroughly investigated the case, there was nothing to doubt and the case could be finalized directly.

But years of experience made Jiang Jixun feel that this matter is strange.

He found an excuse to stay and quietly reviewed the details of the entire case. There were no problems with other links, but when he wanted to check the bodies, he was told that all the dead bodies had been cremated.

Generally, only unnamed corpses will be cremated after seven days without being claimed. The corpses of the victims are often taken away by their families, and they are rarely cremated directly, unless there is an epidemic.

When Jiang Jixun asked about this matter, magistrate Hu suddenly became hesitant, saying that it was a local custom.

But Jiang Jixun and the local people have inquired, and there is no custom of cremation in the local area, and the local people are still very resistant to cremation.

This is strange, why did magistrate Hu insist on cremating the dead body?
County magistrate Hu saw that Jiang Jixun was difficult to deal with, so he simply started to avoid him.

Jiang Jixun took this opportunity to check the archives and records of the county government, and found no trace of seeking credit for taking in the victims. In this regard, County Magistrate Hu did a lot better than Magistrate Chai.

After reading the records of the county government, even Jiang Jixun had to say with emotion that magistrate Hu is serious about his work, and his work records are also detailed. If it turns out that magistrate Hu did not make any serious mistakes, he would be very willing to recommend magistrate Hu. An official in the capital.

Unfortunately, things backfired. A few days later, Jiang Jixun discovered an important piece of information in a work log.

Some folks reported to the yamen, saying that the tombs of princes and kings of a certain dynasty were discovered in the county.

Logically speaking, such a situation should be reported to the state capital, and the state capital depends on the situation, should it be reported to the imperial court?

But the imperial court did not receive a detailed report on this matter, and when he saw Governor Zhao before, he did not mention this matter either.

It so happened that at this time, Jiang Youquan also discovered some clues.

It turned out that the bodyguards of the Escort under Jiang Youquan's name had some problems when they passed by Jiangling County, and were detained by the government office. It took Jiang Youquan a lot of effort to find them.

Finally, the county magistrate Hu was found.

After County Magistrate Hu learned about this, he not only released all the bodyguards, but also returned all the goods of the bodyguard bureau, and also compensated some things.

The darts that the Escort Bureau bet on this time are very valuable, otherwise Jiang Youquan would not have come in person.
