carved heart

Chapter 68 Going to Yongping (1)
His voice was still firm: "Your thoughts have nothing to do with me, your preferences have nothing to do with me, if you don't like it, I'll try to change it."

The tombstone collapsed, and the old soil and new soil were turned into a ball. The tomb that was once neat was now in disarray.

Ah Yin almost used her breastfeeding strength to restrain the anger in her heart. With a sullen face, she looked at Xie Shaohuai, with a look like a mountain rain was about to come.Xie Shaohuai had never seen such Ah Yin before, for some reason, he suddenly thought of that Lord Hou.

With a trembling of his calf, he said tremblingly, "I...I..."

The followers around him looked at him covetously, Xie Shaohuai felt even more uneasy, for a long while, he couldn't say a word.

Ah Yin asked, "Who has been here?"

Xie Shaohuai shivered, and said bravely: "It's a few men in black clothes." He made a gesture and said: "You are so tall, and you have a burden on your back."

The more he spoke, the calmer he became, thinking that there was a vast sea of ​​people, and she might not be able to find the person he said.

The words flowed immediately.

"I thought they were just here to steal peaches, but I didn't expect that they even dared to touch the tombs on the mountain! It's unreasonable! Such disrespect, but they will be punished by God!" He angrily expressed the same anger as Ah Yin, and said : "The appearance of those sneaky people will be difficult to describe for a while, but don't worry! I still remember! You know that my painting skills are not bad, how about I draw it for you? Where are you? If you don't go back to Yin's house If so, our Xie Fu will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest."

From the clues, Xie Shaohuai sensitively noticed that Ah Yin was unwilling to go back, so he took advantage of the opportunity to build a step.

When he was secretly delighted at his wit, Ah Yin suddenly turned around and looked down at the grave.

Xie Shaohuai took the opportunity to step forward, but the attendants did not stop him this time.

He comforted in a warm voice: "You have this kind of filial piety, the old man Yin knows it, and he will definitely not blame you."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Yin suddenly said: "Come here, dig up the grave."

Xie Shaohuai looked at Ah Yin in horror.

Digging digging graves?
He said just now that she was filial, but in a blink of an eye she was going to dig a grave?This...is disrespectful!Xie Shaohuai spoke to stop him, but was squeezed out by the swarming attendants, there were many stones on the road, Xie Shaohuai staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

He frowned.

It's a pity that no one took care of his emotions.

Xie Shaohuai looked at the expressionless A Yin in the distance, and suddenly felt that she had become a stranger.But seeing a group of people looking forward to her, Xie Shaohuai felt that this kind of A Yin was very attractive.

It's probably because I haven't seen her for too long, and I think everything about her is good.

If she married him, then this group of majestic followers would also be his.

The entourage was breaking ground, and A Yin was worried about splashing Jiang Xuan, so she asked her to go further away.Unexpectedly, after she walked a few steps, she saw Xie Shaohuai's thoughtful look, and she said with a smile, "Mr. Xie, is it still daytime?"

Xie Shaohuai came back to his senses and said, "Of course."

Smiling, Jiang Xuan said: "Then stop daydreaming, my sister is not worthy of you." She said this coldly, feeling extremely happy in her heart.She wanted to say this six years ago!
Xie Shaohuai didn't expect to be ridiculed by a little girl one day, her face was ashen, but she was Ah Yin's younger sister, so she couldn't say much, so she could only secretly think about teaching her a lesson later.

At this moment, the followers in front dispersed, and one of them said to Ah Yin: "My lady, do you want to open the coffin?"

Xie Shaohuai immediately lost the intention to teach Jiang Xuan a lesson, and shouted: "Absolutely no! There is no reason for the younger generation to open the coffin! You will suffer..." Before he could say the word "Damn", Xie Shaohuai let out a muffled snort.

Under Jiang Xuan's instruction, the servant who had been following Jiang Xuan stepped on Xie Shaohuai severely.

Xie Shaohuai's eyes widened, and he was about to reprimand him angrily.

Jiang Xuan said: "This is our family business."

Xie Shaohuai had no reason to refute.

Jiang Xuan stepped forward and asked Ah Yin: "Sister, what happened?"

A Yin's face was heavy, and he said, "Grandpa's coffin has been touched."

Jiang Xuan was shocked and asked: "Tomb robber?" Then he shook his head and said: "We are small people who are dead and soulless, and we are not a big family. To be buried is to set up a tomb. Where can we find any valuables? ? At most, it’s just a little money to buy a road in the underworld. Which family’s tomb robbers are so wicked!”

The attendants over there are still waiting for Ah Yin's instructions.

Ayin nodded slightly.

"open."

The attendants pried open the coffin without hesitation, Ah Yin stepped forward slightly, blocking half of Jiang Xuan's body, and a dull smell rushed towards him.Jiang Xuan couldn't help covering her nose and mouth, and even a few of her followers frowned, but Ah Yin looked calm and took a few more steps.

A follower said: "Miss, the soil here is loose, be careful where you step."

The coffin was completely pushed open.

What caught Ah Yin's eyes was nothing but a few unnamed long worms.Before he passed away, my grandfather told me repeatedly that I don’t need any funerary goods, that I come and go cleanly, and that I don’t even bring my favorite carving utensils with me. Later, my father and uncle felt that it was shabby, and they co-authored the [-] yuan for the road under the underworld. money.

Now that my grandfather passed away only a few years ago, even if his body rots, the bones will definitely not disappear.

When the attendants saw it, they knew that someone had tampered with it, and they were all surprised.

...... Such a great hatred, he would not even be allowed to rest in the ground.

"elder sister……"

Ah Yin said: "Put it back."

The attendants responded and immediately sealed the coffin and filled it with earth. After half an hour, the tombs, which were still a mess, were tidied up, and even the weeds on the top of the graves were pulled out.Ah Yin said to Ah Xuan: "You go out with them first, I will stay here and talk to my grandfather."

Jiang Xuan nodded.

The other followers saluted and left with Jiang Xuan silently.Xie Shaohuai looked at A Yin unwillingly, and finally left with Jiang Xuan's servant.Everyone didn't dare to stay too far away, they just passed a hillside and could see Ah Yin from a distance.

After the surroundings became quiet, Ah Yin squatted down slowly.

Slender five fingers caressed the cold tombstone.

"Grandfather, granddaughter is back."

His fingers trembled slightly.

She babbled about the past year, she spoke very slowly, she said whatever came to her mind, and her voice became hoarse in the end.She said hoarsely: "Grandfather, I have a lot of questions, can you come and tell me in your dreams? Why didn't grandfather show his skills to outsiders? Why didn't he let me and Axuan go outside to carve cores? And why... Shangguan's family The nuclear society will study the grandfather's nuclear sculpture?"

Nuclear science studies landscape nuclear sculptures very carefully.

The wind direction of nuclear science is actually the emperor's preference.

Jiang Yang said that even the emperors of the three dynasties loved landscape carvings, and Shangguan's nuclear science has also studied landscape carvings for more than 100 years.One day, Ah Yin accidentally saw Jiang Yang re-engraving the emperor's beloved nuclear carving, and was extremely surprised.

That kind of technique, that kind of texture, is clearly grandfather's nuclear carving.

My grandfather had a habit of carving landscape stone carvings. He would add a little bulge to the stone carvings. At first glance, it would look a bit abrupt, but in fact it was natural.She has come to Shangguan's house for so long, and she has seen countless landscape carvings. In this world, no one except her grandfather would do this.

She murmured: "Grandfather, do you know what the eighteen states of nuclear carving are?"

Only Shan Feng answered Ah Yin.

A young leaf floated over and hit the tombstone, and with his fingers curled up, Ah Yin said again: "Grandfather, I will find the bones for you, and I will definitely not let you wander outside."

She stood up slowly, knelt down in front of the tombstone again, and kowtowed three times.

Ah Yin talked for a long time in front of the grave, and the sky was getting dark.

Taoshan returned to Shangguan's house, naturally they knew about Ah Yin's arrival, so no one came to urge them. The few servants who guarded the mountain greeted Jiang Xuan and others politely, one on the left was the young master's family and the other was on the right, so don't listen to flattery You can feel it in your toes.

Xie Shaohuai was very disdainful.

Jiang Xuanke responded politely, which was much better than his attitude.

Xie Shaohuai asked: "Is Shaodong's family married?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at him, and said: "What's the matter with you if our young master is married or not? Don't you have any other thoughts in your head other than getting married?"

Xie Shaohuai was overwhelmed with anger.

At this time, Ah Yin came over.

Those young servants saluted one after another, saying: "Ms. Yin, all blessings."

Ah Yin nodded.

Xie Shaohuai suppressed his anger and looked at her eagerly.

She asked: "Is Taoshan still considered the territory of Gongcheng?"

Xie Shaohuai quickly said: "Of course it belongs, it hasn't changed in the past few years, and Cangshan Mountain is counted!"

Ah Yin said, "My grandfather's tomb was stolen, should the magistrate Xie take charge of this?"

Xie Shaohuai was taken aback, and then said: "Of course! At this time, my father is no longer in the yamen. If you are in a hurry, you can go back and talk to my father with me. Guaranteed to catch the tomb robber within a few days! Return the money Rest in peace, old man."

Ah Yin said, "Okay."

When Xie Shaohuai heard it, he was ecstatic.

After getting off Taoshan, Ah Yin got into the carriage, first ordered one of the attendants to go back to Yin's house to inform Fan Haohe, and then ordered the driver to go to Xie's mansion.Jiang Xuan naturally wanted to follow Ah Yin, she and Ah Yin were in the same carriage, and asked in a low voice: "My sister also knows that the magistrate Xie is a flamboyant man, if he is really capable, why would he stay in Gongcheng as a small county?" make?"

A Yin said with a smile: "In the past six months, your sharp mouth has been unmatched by anyone."

Jiang Xuan said angrily, "Sister!"

A Yin then said: "Although County Magistrate Xie is a small official, it is most appropriate for him to handle this matter. We don't have to take care of everything. We can force others to do the work so we don't do it ourselves. Moreover, County Magistrate Xie is following his power, and now Seeing that we have made some achievements, she will definitely go out of her way to please us, and she will spare no effort in this matter." At the end, she whispered: "If it is really a grave robber, that's fine, I'm afraid..."

"What did sister say?"

She shook her head and said, "Don't forget to drink medicine at night."

Ah Yin was treated like a distinguished guest in the Xie Mansion.

Mrs. Xie also did not expect that the girl who was once only fit to be his concubine came back from Suizhou and became a distinguished guest of their Xie family.Rao, Mrs. Xie, who seldom goes out, knows the name of the Yin family. Back then, Luo Yuan only won the favor of Wang Xiang, but now the Yin family is completely marked by the Shangguan family.

Mrs. Xie understands what Shangguan family means.

She grinned and asked warmly.

Ah Yin's expression was light.

It was also at this time that Xie Shaohuai walked through the corridor with Magistrate Xie.Xie Shaohuai said: "Father, this is a good opportunity. Although I lied to her, we did our best to retrieve her grandfather's bones. We are her benefactors. She will be grateful to us at that time, and we still have old feelings. , isn't it a matter of time before the roots are broken?"

Magistrate Xie also felt reasonable.

He kept publicizing the name of the Yin family in Gongcheng, but it finally ended up in his own home, that's what it means to not let the rich water flow to outsiders.He planned with his son, saying: "Find any corpses, and find a few scapegoats. When the time comes, I will send them to prison. I will have the final say when they come out."

Xie Shaohuai nodded frequently.

"Father, you have a good idea."

The father and son entered the hall together. Seeing Ah Yin, Xie Shaohuai immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already told my father about you."

The county magistrate Xie wanted to pretend to be dignified, but he never expected that when he raised his eyes, he saw Yin's looking over lightly.It's just a girl, Jiajia, whose eyes are so powerful for no reason.Majesty was eaten by a dog, County Magistrate Xie was worried, and took a while to answer, saying: "I will definitely deal with it fairly. This matter happened in Gongcheng, and our yamen servants did not patrol well. Please rest assured, Miss Yin, don't worry about it." Out of three..." Seeing his son blinking vigorously, the magistrate Xie changed his words and said, "Ban Yue, I will give you an explanation."

A Yin said: "Thank you sir." After a pause, he said: "Madam Lao arranged for my entourage to live." She yawned as she spoke.Mrs. Xie immediately understood, and ordered the manager of the Xie Mansion to take Ah Yin to rest in the courtyard.

Madam Xie acted like a top honored guest, and allocated the courtyard where she once wanted to entertain Marquis Mu Yang to Ah Yin.

After Mrs. Xie left, Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "Sure enough, I was expected by my sister. County magistrate Xie is eager to catch the old tomb robber back tomorrow."

Ah Yin smiled and said: "He has always been such a person." As he spoke, he urged Jiang Xuan to drink the medicine.After Jiang Xuan drank the medicine, she urged her to rest again.Jiang Xuan asked: "Is my sister not resting?"

A Yin said: "Wait a minute, I still have something to tell them."

Jiang Xuan just went to rest.

The courtyard is not small, divided into several wing rooms.A Yin also ordered the maids and servants who waited on Jiang Xuan to watch carefully at night before calling the attendants.Fan Haohe came quickly, almost coming in with his followers.

Fan Haohe said: "The girl's house has been settled."

Ah Yin nodded slightly.

She asked her entourage: "What did you hear?"

"Returning to the girl, after the villain entered Xie's mansion, he quietly followed Xie Shaohuai all the way according to the girl's instructions. It was exactly as the girl expected. Xie Shaohuai is a liar." Learned what was said.

When Fan Haohe heard this, anger appeared on his face, and he said, "It's unreasonable! What is the girl going to do?"

Ah Yin said: "Let them make trouble, don't bother, what I want is to make things big."

Xie Shaohuai claimed to know her well, but it was superficial.

She has known him for five years, not to mention anything else, she can still guess what he is thinking in his heart.He is weak and timid by nature, when he meets a suspicious person outside Taoshan, the first thing he does is to turn around and leave, he doesn't want to cause trouble, let alone follow him step by step, he can even see the suspicious person's face clearly.

She asked him to follow, firstly because she didn't want to go back to Yin's house, and secondly because she wanted to check grandfather's household registration documents here.

It's just that he didn't expect that something really happened to his grandfather's grave.

Fan Haohe pondered for a while and asked, "Girl, this is..."

Ah Yin said, "Lead the snake out of the hole."

Xie Shaohuai happily had a sweet dream, and the next morning he went to promise Ah Yin that he would definitely find those grave robbers.I don't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that Ah Yin sees him a little differently today.

Xie Shaohuai's heart was flustered, he didn't even need breakfast, he rode his horse and prepared to go to the yamen to find his father, at least he had to pretend to look for it.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the mansion, Xie Shaohuai heard someone whispering.

He heard it in the past, only to realize that in just half a day, the news of the robbery of A Yin's grandfather's grave has spread throughout the city!People in the streets and alleys are talking about it!

Xie Shaohuai didn't expect the news to spread so fast, and he was a little nervous.

He intended to solve it unconsciously, but now that the city is full of trouble, what if the tomb robbers really come out?
But Xie Shaohuai also has a big heart. After worrying for a while, how could it be such a coincidence?The tomb robbers might have run away long ago, and it's not a valuable tomb.What are you afraid of?
When he arrived at the yamen, he went in to find the county magistrate familiarly.

Just as he was about to cross the threshold, someone came out in a hurry, and he fixed his eyes, and it was his father.

"Father, you came just in time. I thought about it last night. Didn't an old man die in Dongliu Lane before? He was about the same age as the grandfather of the Yin family, and he also passed away a few years ago. The old man only had one daughter, and he had already married to Shuzhou Yes. We have people dig out the bones when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and then..."

Magistrate Xie interrupted him, and he said, "You are in charge of this matter."

Xie Shaohuai said: "Father, what happened?"

County Magistrate Xie said: "Don't mention it, I'm going to take people to Cangshan now. There was a nobleman who encountered landslides when he passed Cangshan, and his carriage and belongings were destroyed five or six times..." Xie Shaohuai was taken aback, and asked: "Who is this nobleman?" ?”

Xie County Magistrate said: "The girl from the Li family in Qingzhou, I heard that she is talking about marriage with Marquis Muyang. She is the future wife of the Marquis, and she is not someone who can be offended. If it is done, it is equivalent to the debt owed by Marquis Muyang and the Li family. A favor. This opportunity can't be missed, we father and son will work separately. My son, our Xie family's luck has come."

"She's in Gongcheng?"

Yanmo replied: "If you want to return to Lord Hou, Miss Yin will go back to Gongcheng to worship." He said: "The girl from the Li family also ran from Qingzhou to Gongcheng..."
