Chapter 413 Digging Graves for Clues

Zhang Daniu's mother's grave in Zhangjiawan.

Tang Sheng stood in front of Zhang Daniu's mother's grave with a shovel in his hand.

"I'm sorry, for your son, your grandson, and your unfulfilled wish, I have to offend you. Please don't blame me." After finishing speaking, he began to dig the grave.

His memory, when Zhang Daniu's mother was buried, there was a painting buried with it. It has been so many years, and I don't know if it has rotted, but I still have to dig it up and have a look, maybe I can find some clues from it.

Because of what happened last night, Zhang Daquan felt very uneasy, so he came over with a jug of wine, wanting to pay homage to his father, and begging Quanxia's father to keep him safe.

Just walking to the cemetery, seeing the overgrown weeds in front of him, he frowned.

After finally going in, I saw a person digging a grave from a distance, and it was my own grave, so I ran over and cursed at the same time.

"Which wicked thing dares to dig my grave."

Tang Sheng ignored him because he knew who it was.

Seeing that he ignored him and continued digging, Zhang Daquan stretched out his hand to pull him when he walked over.

"What's the matter if you didn't hear me? What are you digging my grave for? Are you short-hearted?"

"Look clearly, what I dug is Zhang Daniu's mother's grave, and your father's grave is that one."

Zhang Daquan followed his hand to look at the grave next to him, and then looked at his face, terrified.

"you……"

For a long time, Zhang Daquan couldn't tell, if it wasn't for his soft feet, he really wanted to run away immediately.

Tang Sheng glanced at him, climbed up and grabbed him and gave orders directly.

"You, go down and dig for me."

Zhang Daquan's mind went blank, and he spoke after a while.

"Young master, the person is dead, why bother the dead?"

Zhang Daquan didn't want to dig. After all, it was a wicked thing. Although this woman was not his own mother, she didn't treat him badly when she came to the house. How could he do such a thing?Absolutely not.

"If you tell you to dig, just dig. How can there be so much nonsense? Don't you want to kill yourself?"

With Tang Sheng's threat, Zhang Daquan didn't care whether he was immoral or not, and immediately jumped down to dig with a shovel.

As for him, he stood on the top and watched, telling Zhang Daquan to dig carefully from time to time.

It took about a morning to dig out the grave, and the two worked together to lift out the decayed coffin.

Zhang Daquan climbed up, sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

"The grave... has been dug out, can I... go back?"

"Don't say anything, or you will be killed." After speaking, he nodded.

As soon as he nodded, Zhang Daquan immediately got up from the ground and ran away at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at the man who was out of breath just now, running so fast now, he couldn't help laughing.

Looking back at the grave of Niu Niang Zhang, he pried away the nails with a dagger, and then opened the coffin.

There was no smell other than a damp musty smell.Because Zhang Daniu's mother asked for cremation at the beginning, there was only an urn in the coffin, and then the funeral objects.

After the musty smell in the coffin faded a lot, he took out the funeral objects.

They are all worthless things that have been moldy, and there is a long box in it, which seems to have not been rotten inside.

Opening the box, he saw a scroll, so he opened it to look.

Looking at the person in the portrait, he frowned. This person was somewhat similar to himself, but the person in the painting looked softer.

This should be the man in her heart!

Put away the painting and put it aside, then put back what was taken out, cover the coffin and bury it again.

After finishing, he stood in front of the grave with the portrait.

"Don't worry, I will help you find this person."

Suddenly, the wind picked up, as if responding to Tang Sheng, Tang Sheng bowed three times, and left here with the painting.

He left from Zhangjiawan. When he entered Zhangjiawan, the people in the village saw the stranger coming and stared at him.Only Zhang Daquan and his wife closed the door tightly when they saw him as if they saw a ghost.

Tang Sheng sneered and walked towards the village chief.

The village head looked up at him and asked, "This young man, who are you looking for?"

Tang Sheng took a look inside the village chief's house, then shook his head, turned and left.

The village chief looked at his back and felt very familiar. No matter how he looked at it, he thought it was Zhang Daniu, but his face obviously didn't look like it.Moreover, it was said that the arrest warrant for Zhang Daniu's family specifically stated: Zhang Daniu's face was disfigured.

So I didn't think much about it.

******
It was already afternoon when Tang Sheng returned to the inn.

Zhou Yiran was sitting by the window of the room, kowtow melon seeds and read a book, when the door was pushed open, she turned her head immediately.

Looking at the man covered in dust, she frowned.

"What are you doing here? Why is there loess all over your clothes?" After speaking, he saw a scroll in his hand, got up and took it over, opened it and asked, "What is this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she froze.

Looking up at Tang Sheng who was undressed, he said, "The people above look like you."

"Zhang Daniu's father, of course he looks alike." After speaking, he walked towards the cabinet, took out his own clothes and put them on.

After listening to Tang Sheng's words, she took the portrait and went to talk to him, then nodded in praise.

"Don't tell me, your face, mouth and nose are inherited from your father, but your eyes are different from the ones in the portrait. I think it is inherited from your mother." After finishing speaking, he stared at the portrait and continued to look.

Tang Sheng smiled and told her not to break the painting, and then went downstairs.

She took the portrait and put it on the table by the window. Looking at it, she found that the eyes of the person in the portrait seemed to be similar to that of a person, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Tang Sheng came up, saw that she was still staring at the painting, poured himself a cup of tea while drinking it, and after taking two sips of tea, he asked.

"What's so good about this."

"I think this person looks like a person. Except for you, I don't have a good memory, so I can't remember who it is."

Hearing what she said, Tang Sheng laughed and told her directly who she looked like.

"Like Emperor Chu."

Immediately, the appearance of Emperor Chu flashed in her mind, and then she looked at Tang Sheng with wide eyes.

"Is your father a member of the royal family?"

The corners of Tang Sheng's lips curled up, and he smiled.

Seeing that Tang Sheng just smiled and didn't speak, she raised her hand and patted his chest.

"Don't just laugh!"

Tang Sheng grabbed her hand and asked her: "If Zhang Daniu's father is really a member of the royal family, are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of? We have experienced so much together, what else is there to be afraid of, as long as you are where I am, I will follow you." She thought it was strange for Tang Sheng to ask this question.

"I'm planning to go back to the capital. Zhou Qing should know who the person in this portrait is." Tang Sheng said to her.

Zhou Yiran nodded, and then asked him, "When are you leaving?"

"We're leaving tomorrow, but are you in good health?" He just came to Fengyu Town and had to go on the road in a day, he was worried that Xiao Ran's health would not be able to take it.

She nodded and said with a smile, "You think of me too weakly."

Tang Sheng raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he underestimated his daughter-in-law.

"In this case, after I have eaten, I will buy two good horses and prepare some things for the road."

Hearing that he hasn't eaten yet, she frowned: "What did you do, haven't eaten yet?"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the painting, picked it up and smelled it, it was full of musty smell.

In addition, when Tang Sheng came back, he was covered in loess, so she frowned and looked at Tang Sheng.

"You shouldn't be..."

"They dug up the grave." Tang Sheng said.

Her eyes widened, surprised, shocked.

"You are not afraid of lightning strikes, you dare to dig your own mother's grave."

"It's not because of helplessness. We will find out the truth in the future. I will build a good grave for her." Tang Sheng said that he was very reasonable.

Zhou Yiran shook her head helplessly, she had already dug it out, and it was useless to say anything now.But she still admired him and asked him curiously.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​digging a grave? Your thinking is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Being praised by her, Tang Sheng laughed.Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, your meal is ready."

"Come in." Tang Sheng said.

Xiao Er pushed open the door and put the food on the table, and then said to Tang Sheng: "If you have any orders, please give me a call, and the younger one will leave."

Tang Sheng nodded, Xiao Er went out and closed the door behind him.

Looking at the food on the table, Tang Sheng suddenly felt hungry, raised his head and asked her, "Do you want some food?"

Zhou Yiran shook her head: "No, you can eat! It's not long since I ate. I'm not hungry yet."

"That's for my husband to eat by himself." After finishing speaking, he walked over and sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and ate with big mouthfuls.

Seeing Tang Sheng like this, she couldn't help laughing, then turned her head and continued to look at the painting on the table.

If Tang Sheng's father is really a member of the royal family, then he should not be alive.

Because there is not a single prince alive in the current royal family. After hearing that the emperor ascended the throne, those princes who were named kings died one after another strangely.

The emperor sent people to investigate the truth, but there was no clue, and then the matter was gradually forgotten by people.

But she felt that all of this should be done by the emperor.

Tang Sheng raised his head, chewing, looked at her, and saw her frowning.Couldn't help asking.

"What are you thinking?"

"I was wondering if your father is still alive." She looked at Tang Sheng and said.

Tang Sheng heard her say this, and said directly: "It must be dead, Chu Kingdom does not have a prince now."

"Too."

She put the painting away with a smile, then saw that he was about to bottom out, and asked him.

"Is there enough food? If not, I'll get it for you."

"Then thank you daughter-in-law, remember to serve it in a soup bowl."

"Why didn't you ask Xiao Er to bring you a pot just now?" She was curious.

Tang Sheng laughed embarrassedly, and said, "I didn't want to eat much just now, so I only wanted a bowl of rice, but now I feel that one bowl of rice is not enough."

After listening to what he said, she understood very well, because sometimes she was like this too.

"Okay, you wait, I'll get you a pot of rice."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and went downstairs.
