When Lu Chaochao looked over, the boy looked up to the sky, not daring to look at her.

Master Xu stood up tremblingly: "Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me! Who is it that dug up my Xu family's ancestral grave? If I find out, I will make him live a life worse than death!"

Xu Shiyun lowered her head to wipe her tears, and hurriedly followed her sisters-in-law to collect the remains of her ancestor.

“All the burial objects are gone.”

"Fortunately, the body was not moved." The sisters-in-law couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Chaochao silently hid the gold tooth in the space and dared not take it out again.

"By the way, Chaochao, what did you say to show your grandfather?" Master Xu thought of what Chaochao had just said, his eyes fixed on the mausoleum, and asked Lu Chaochao.

Lu Chaochao's little face was a little panicked. If Master Xu turned around at this moment, he would be able to see his granddaughter's guilty expression.

"Ah? Oh, Chao Chao wasn't brought out. I'll send someone to take her to your house later..."

The old tutor nodded solemnly.

"What a shameless person! He even dared to steal burial objects. I want to see where he got it from."

Tian Dao remained calm and asked, "It has been taken away. Can it still be found?"

Xu Shiyun supported the old lady who had fainted from crying: "The burial objects all have the marks of the various prefectures. Since the other party dared to steal them, they must be short of money. Once they use them, they will eventually find traces."

Heavenly Way???

There was a hint of confusion on his calm face.

He paused, pulled Chao Chao to stand in the corner, and the boy asked cautiously: "You won't let me touch a living person's thing."

"Can't the dead be moved?"

"There is a saying in the mortal world that when a person dies, it is like a light going out, and the soul returns to the underworld. The burial objects are ownerless. Can't I take them?"

Lu Chaochao looked at him dumbfounded. Let me tell you, I’m not a good person either.

When I was raising disciples, I also dug graves when I was poor and destitute.

But you can't dig up my house! !

"Well, mortals attach great importance to their ancestral graves. Digging up someone's ancestral grave is like killing their parents. Probably... it's a fight to the death."

After these words were spoken, the boy's eyes, which were always calm, widened greatly.

His lips trembled as he looked at Xu Shiyun, at the Xu family...

It was as if I had been hit hard.

A fight to the death? It's over. I lost more than I gained!

It was already late at night, the entire Changshou Garden was brightly lit, and cursing sounds could be heard from all directions.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves approaching could be heard.

"What's going on? Are there troops coming?" Just as Master Xu was about to send someone to inquire for information, he heard a commotion coming from outside.

The Xu family’s ancestral tomb is at the innermost part, and they are quite anxious at the moment.

Soon, a servant ran and shouted: "The imperial mausoleum next door has been robbed. His Majesty left the capital late at night. Sir, hurry to the imperial mausoleum!"

"The imperial mausoleum has been robbed. His Majesty left the palace late at night. Please go to the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible."

Tutor Xu turned pale with shock, and said immediately: "Yun Niang, you guys should keep the old ancestor's body for now. We will bury it again on an auspicious day." After saying that, the old tutor took his sons to the imperial mausoleum.

Lu Yanshu and Lu Yuanxiao also went to the imperial mausoleum.

Lu Chaochao stood at the end. She looked at the boy with horror: "You also stole from the imperial tomb?"

The boy looked up at the sky: "That's where the most money is..."

Lu Chaochao was almost crying.

"Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, so we have to steal... from far away. Forget it, you have no experience, and it's not your fault..." Lu Chaochao immediately followed everyone.

Changshou Garden is located on the edge of the imperial mausoleum, not far away, and it takes only an incense stick of time to reach the outside of the imperial mausoleum.

The exterior of the Changshouyuan Mausoleum is damaged, but at least you can still see something.

But from the outside, the imperial mausoleum did not look unusual at all.

Emperor Xuanping's eyes were red, and the emperor was shaking all over. He said calmly: "Open the imperial tomb and check it out quickly."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. How did His Majesty know that the imperial tomb had been robbed?

But what was horrifying was that the tomb keeper came back crying and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, the imperial tomb was really robbed! All the gold bricks, silver and stones inside were stolen!"

The emperor knelt down at the imperial mausoleum with a thud. "It is my fault for disturbing all the ancestors..." The emperor took a deep breath!

The official guarding the mausoleum was sweating profusely and collapsed on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have been guarding the mausoleum all night and didn't hear any movement..."

"Moreover, the exterior of the imperial mausoleum is intact, with no signs of having been excavated. Your Majesty, I beg you to spare my life." The mausoleum keeper felt extremely aggrieved, as this was a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan.

If the emperor had not suddenly brought people to the imperial mausoleum, he would not even know that the bottom of the imperial mausoleum had been hollowed out.

Emperor Xuanping was not a cruel and murderous emperor. Although he was angry at the moment, he did not vent his anger on his ministers.

"Forget it, just get up. This has nothing to do with you." The emperor pressed his eyebrows.

Master Xu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how did you know that the imperial mausoleum was robbed?"

The Xu family discovered that their ancestral tomb had been robbed because the thieves had robbed so hard that the tomb collapsed.

But the appearance of the imperial tomb was normal.

Emperor Xuanping pursed his lips and said, "I just took a nap. The ancestor emperor came to me in a dream and asked me to burn some clothes for him."

Master Xu was stunned: "Burn...burn a few clothes?"

Lu Yanshu beside him said calmly: "I remember that when our ancestor emperor was buried, he wore a golden jade suit. He held a jade cicada in his mouth... and wore jade boots on his feet."

The court officials looked at the imperial tomb in astonishment.

No way? ?

Even Lu Chaochao couldn't help shrinking her head. She really liked that golden jade dress...

He instantly threw the jade cicada in his pocket into the space and never dared to take it out again.

Emperor Xuanping was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Open the Imperial Mausoleum!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and said, "I have disturbed the eternal sleep of our ancestors. I deserve death."

As the imperial mausoleum was opened, the expressions on everyone's faces began to crack.

"In the past, were the inner walls painted with gold powder, and would glow under the illumination of the night pearls?" asked a minister.

Now...

The night pearl on the wall was gone, and a layer of the wall that had been painted with gold powder was severely scraped off.

Look, he is very miserable.

Emperor Xuanping's heart trembled as he walked down the stairs step by step and entered the imperial mausoleum.

The imperial tomb, which was originally filled with funerary objects, is now empty.

It took several people working together to push open the sarcophagus, and Emperor Xuanping took a closer look...

really……

The crown inlaid with gold and gems on the ancestor's head is gone.

The golden jade clothes on her body were gone.

The jade boots on my feet are gone.

"No wonder the ancestor is cold. Let Your Majesty burn some clothes and send them over..." I'm afraid he's running naked in the underworld!

Elaborate burials were popular in Northern Zhao, and the aristocratic families and the royal family were the best at it.

Funerals even foster a culture of comparison.

This is a wake-up call.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully. The little thief was so bold and presumptuous that he stole the burial objects from the imperial mausoleum. He must be brought to justice and his entire clan must be executed! To serve as a warning to others!" A court official knelt down and asked Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation.

After a while, all the old ministers who had been robbed fell to their knees.

Emperor Xuanping, however, had a gloomy expression.

"There is nothing unusual on the outside of the imperial mausoleum. Anyone who can take away the burial objects from inside must not be a mortal."

When the ancestor appeared in my dream, I could not hide the fear in his eyes.

Although he didn't know who took the burial objects, the remaining pressure in the imperial tomb made him afraid.

Emperor Xuanping was thinking in his heart that there might be a big monster lurking around!
It can't be that it was a thief, right? (End of this chapter)
