I felt aggrieved in my heart, but looking at Professor Huang, an old man, staring at me with tears streaming down his face, I was a little moved by his persistence in ancient Yue culture:

"Your condolences."

I thought about it again and again and said:

"Since the coffin has not been stolen, there is a high probability that it was buried at the same time. Why don't you stop searching for information and see who was qualified to hold a funeral for Tao Zhugong at that time."

For such a high-status person to be buried, it must be a very grand affair. Even if there are no descendants, there will be relatives coming to take care of it, and etiquette will not be lost.

But the bones, which are the most important thing in the entire funeral ceremony, must be guarded by dedicated personnel.

It's not something that one or two thieves can do by sneaking in quietly and quietly changing their bodies.

Moreover, after Tao Zhugong died, kings, nobles, and relatives would definitely come to express their condolences. It would be better not to touch the body. But if there are some close relatives, if you touch it, your head will roll, which does not match the body, or it will Seeing the mismatched stitching between the head and body, something is bound to go wrong if discovered.

Therefore, the matter of changing the body for burial must not be hidden from some people.

From this point on, there is definitely nothing wrong.

But I am wondering about a very crucial question——

"Why do you need to change the body part under Tao Zhugong's head?"

No one can give an answer to this question, not even me.

Professor Huang sighed repeatedly and said that he would look for relevant information, which might take some time.

Of course, these are not things that can be done in half a day, otherwise there would be no need for scholars to analyze and sort them out.

I knew it was time for me to stand up and say goodbye, so I clasped my hands and left.

It’s just that Ben had already walked to the door, then turned back and left Professor Huang’s phone number and provided him with ideas:

"If the person organizing the funeral of Duke Tao Zhu is not a clan relative, then he must be the wife of Duke Tao Zhu, the 'third lady'."

"If you are looking for information, the information about the third lady, as well as the information compiled by the tomb archeology, what are the burial objects in the tomb, and whether she was buried with anyone, etc., please be sure to get these."

The way Professor Huang looked at me at this time was, to say the least, a bit like a fairy or a demon.

He nodded repeatedly and almost would have sent me out if the four eunuchs hadn't stopped me.

I hurriedly ran away, walked out of the door, and looked at the sun, and then I felt a little more real.

I originally thought that today was just a formality, but I didn't expect that it would involve the human skin paper. The suspicion of Tao Zhugong's death is really touching.

I returned to Zimaxiang Shop by familiar means and continued to study the substitute, but I soon tasted the consequences of my own creation.

It's not about the paper man in my hand, but the fact that I left a phone number for Professor Huang.

Professor Huang is a person who, to put it nicely, is called Tiaotiao; to put it unfavorably, he is called verbosity.

Within a day and a half after I returned to Zima Xiang Shop, he made dozens of phone calls to me, namely:

"Have you eaten? My in-laws and I just had delicious Changzhou specialties. No, no, no, it's nothing. I just want to say hello. I want to see if I can get through on the phone."

"Miss Tu, you are so awesome! The results of the test are out. The test results of human skin paper and skull tissue are passed, but the comparison result of skull tissue and body tissue is failed!"

"Miss Tu, we obtained the tomb information today. As you said, the early stage of Tao Zhugong's funeral was handled by his third wife! But there is something special here." I wanted to calm down. The process of making a paper stand-in was slow due to these startling phone calls, and I was really helpless. When I heard the last phone call, I immediately realized that the investigation had progressed. I immediately picked up my things and prepared to go out, and asked casually:

"What's special?"

Professor Huang's voice was hesitant:

"It's just that it probably wasn't the third lady who did it, because we just found out that according to the tombstone, the third lady was also in the ear room of the tomb and was buried at about the same time."

The third lady is also in the tomb?

Can the person who organizes the funeral still be buried with the deceased?

A flash of doubt flashed through my mind, I said a few words and immediately rushed to the lobby entrance as quickly as possible.

In the lobby, Professor Huang and two students were already suffering from sleep, and the four eunuchs who had been keeping them company were also slightly depressed.

But the moment Professor Huang saw me, he immediately greeted me eagerly:

"coming?"

"I always felt sad that Tao Zhugong could not be buried with all his tail and tail, and I didn't want to wait for a moment, so I didn't wait for the students to make a presentation this time. The information is all here, you can take a look at it!"

The long-lasting aroma of tea in the main room has turned into the slightly bitter smell of coffee after brewing. Coupled with the green and black eyes of the people in front of them, it was obvious that they had stayed up for more than one night.

I understand this very well. When I opened the information, because of what I was thinking, the first thing I started to look at was the information about tombs.

The well-organized documents contain the consolidated information, as well as some pictures from the archaeological period.

I briefly browsed through it and easily obtained part of the information——

1. After his death, Tao Zhugong was buried with his third wife, but not in the same tomb.

2. The grave goods in the tomb are rich. Many funerary vessels with research value were unearthed in the corridor of the tomb. In the coffin of Tao Zhugong, the jade accessories and seals that the tomb owner loved were buried with him.

In the coffin of the third lady, there are a large number of silver products with complicated patterns, only silver products.

That's all the archaeological information.

What follows is some information rubbed from the tombstone recording the life of the tomb owner, as well as information collected by various parties.

The information about the third lady reads:

1. The third lady was very kind and loving to her husband. When most kings only stayed in mourning for three months, she kept her husband’s coffin for nearly three months before burying his body.

2. The third lady was born in Panyu. She only loves silver ornaments and does not like jewelry and jade.

3. After her husband was buried, the third wife was so distraught that she committed suicide when her husband was buried in the coffin. She followed her husband and left her last words that she wanted to be buried with her husband.

At that time, half of the clan members who attended the funeral felt that she loved her husband fiercely, and the other half did not agree with her actions, so they all took a step back, restrained her, and buried her with her husband in the ear chamber without resting.

I paused for a moment when I saw this, raised my head thoughtfully, and saw Professor Huang looking at me expectantly:

"How is it? Is there any result?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head:

"No, I'm not a god either. I can tell what happened thousands of years ago by looking at the information."

"I'm just wondering if this third lady's 'fierce self-sacrifice' is in conflict with what we previously speculated about her."

Phew, there will be another chapter later, let’s take a break~ It’s snowing in Wenzhou, kids, I’m going to play in the snow for a while~
