Henan was the birthplace of Yin merchants. Since the ancients were outstanding, and Song Tai and ancestor Zhao Kuangyin chose Kaifeng as the capital, Henan has become the center of the world. For a time, all the seven emperors and eight tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty were buried here.

However, as the Song Dynasty moved south, Henan gradually lost its former status. After the invasion of the Jin people, it was the turn of the Mongolian Tieqi to ride down the Central Plains. The historical wheels rolled forward, and the people of Central Plains suffered from time to time. It will be more than a hundred years after the local princes and ancestors have won the world.

When the emperor Tai and the ancestors passed through Gongxian County, which had just been settled by the war, they found that the majestic Song Emperor's mausoleum had already suffered devastating damage. Almost all the ground buildings were destroyed. The barren fields were full of broken and messy stone carvings. The original face was unclear, and the tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty Gaozong, Xiaozong, and Huiqin Emperors were excavated and destroyed under the acquiescence of the former Yuan dynasty, and they were sighted and devastated everywhere.

It is said that several emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were even dug up and burned, and countless treasures were dedicated to Yuan Emperor Kublai and used to decorate temples.

Feeling this, the emperor Tai and Zu ordered to refill the emperor's tombs that had been dug out and repaired them, prohibiting the mining of the common people, and ordered the local government to arrange for the care of the households, and to reduce or exempt the people who guarded the tombs. Taxation, which has stopped the trend of theft.

However, this was already an old thing when Daming was founded. After all, the emperor ’s mausoleum was there, and there would always be people who fled for the night to become rich and rich overnight. Even the Qin Emperor ’s mausoleum, who did n’t know the specific location, had someone to make a decision, not to mention the location. The clear tomb of Emperor Song.

It should be noted that the tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty is slightly different from the previous dynasty.

Before the Tang Dynasty, many emperor mausoleums did not set up monuments. They buried the tomb underground in the way of deep burial. The most typical is the mausoleum of the Qin emperor.

After the Han Dynasty, tombs gradually became popular because "mountain is the mausoleum and chiseling the mountain is Tibetan". This formally established a system in the Tang Dynasty. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty basically dug out their own tombs in the mountain tombs and hid the tombs in the mountains. In the first place, it seems to be courageous. In the second place, the presence of grave robbers can be minimized. Of course, the human approach is endless, the latter role is basically null and void.

When I arrived here in the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor's mausoleum was not dug into the deep mountains like the emperor's mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty, but was selected on the hill opposite the Songshan embankment. The north was close to Luoshui, and the Yellow River was not far away. .

In addition, the emperor tombs of the seven emperors before the Song Dynasty moved south were not far away from each other, and it was quite convenient for those with bad feelings to steal it.

So even if there were guards from nearby households, the tomb robbing incident of Emperor Song's mausoleum still happened sporadically.

In addition to the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial courts of all generations have paid more attention to protecting the tombs of the emperors of the previous dynasties, and this dynasty is no exception. The imperial court banned the robbing of tombs, but it has been repeatedly prohibited. In the past, it has not formed any scale. Therefore, it was only after the local government found out that people were arrested, and it did not get out of control.

However, just recently, in Gong County where the tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty was located, a very strange and horrifying thing happened.

It is said that from a year ago, every night, people in the vicinity will always hear strange sounds from Yonghouling and Yongzhaoling. They thought it was wind at first, but when they listened carefully, they found that they were crying. sound.

Yonghouling is the tomb of Song Yingzong and Zhao Shu, and Yongzhao is the tomb of Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Shu was Zhao Zhen's successor, but he was not Zhao Zhen's biological son, because at that time Zhao Zhen's biological son had died, so he had to adopt Zhao Shu from the clan.

But these are not important. The question is, how can there be crying in the emperor's mausoleum in the middle of the night?

The Song emperors have been dead for many years. There have been no filial sons and grandchildren. Even if there are, how could they choose to go there and cry at midnight?

This is really strange.

The people in the nearby villages were already responsible for part-time guarding the tomb. After hearing crying for several nights, several villagers went to Yonghouling to check.

As a result, I never returned.

The village chief realized that it was wrong, and while mobilizing the villagers to find the missing people, he reported to the Gongxian government mansion. The mansion was sent down there, and he also found a circle. The missing man was not found, and the emperor's mausoleum was built. On the edge of the Luo River, the government mansion speculated that these people might have accidentally fallen into the river while walking at night.

With the conclusion, this matter will not be resolved.

For a long time after that, the crying did not sound again, and the village seemed to have returned to tranquility, except for the few villagers who had died of relatives, everyone had gradually forgotten the matter.

But just half a year ago, the cry of the languin appeared again, and it was louder than before, faintly accompanied by the sound of thunder, the village head did not dare to carelessly, and quickly reported to the government, Gong County county magistrate because of the last thing I felt that the village chief was making a big deal of it, but I didn't take it seriously, but because the emperor's mausoleum was still there, the county's arrester quickly brought a few people to the village to check the situation.

In this investigation, two or three burrows were found near Yonghouling and Yongzhaoling. It seems that some tomb thieves had taken a fancy to the tombs of these two emperors before and came to visit them.

As the emperor's mausoleum was stolen, the county magistrate of Gong County did not dare to care. He ordered several arresters and six young villagers in the village to squat near the emperor's mausoleum, hoping to seize the tomb robbers.

Although the head of the village is old, he is the head of a village, and he is also among them.

The first day passed, the moon near the emperor's mausoleum was quiet, and the sound of the Luo River was flowing beside it. Apart from that, there was nothing and everything was calm.

The same happened the next day.

On the third day, something went wrong.

Three arrested fast, six villagers, plus the village head, when they went there were ten people.

But in the end only two came back.

One is catching fast, the other is the village chief.

One is mad and one is stupid.

Crazy was arresting fast, he and the village head ran back and forth from the emperor's tomb, confused, and seeing who to fight, let alone speak clearly and clearly, the head of the village was frightened, covered in blood , Almost ready to go with company.

After the doctor's diagnosis, the arrest was too frightening and overwhelming. It was estimated that this would be the case in my whole life. I could not be cured. Although the village head was old and weak, he experienced many things after all, so he was more tolerant than young people Some, after a period of rest, the spirit slowly recovers.

But as soon as the matter of that night was mentioned, the village chief remained silent, and refused to say more. Until the county magistrate of Gong County came to ask questions in person, he repeatedly tossed and said, "Haunted," "There are monsters," and so on. He couldn't explain why.

The county magistrate had no choice but felt that the matter was very strange and had to report it up to the capital.

"Damn it? Monster?"

In the small courtyard, Tang Fan pondered these two words and asked, "Are the tomb robbers pretending to be ghosts?"

Suizhou shook his head: "I also just received this case. The words of the county magistrate above are difficult to be accurate. I have to see it in person before I can see it. This matter is in the jurisdiction of Henan, and it is estimated that it will also be from the Cabinet An investigation by the Criminal Department will be issued, and it may be landed on the head of the Qing Dynasty official at that time. "

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "This seems almost inevitable."

He stretched his waist again: "Yes, anyway, I am a natural bone, and I can't sit back. Zhenri was tired from sitting in the yamen. If I had a chance, I would rather go for a walk!"

Suizhou pondered: "I also plan to go there in person."

Tang Fan was flattered and said: "Isn't Sui Zhenfu wanting to fight alongside me? That's really a great honor for Mo Xiaguan!"

Although Suizhou is only a practical job for thousands of households, it is actually the boss of the entire Beizhen Fusi, and then it is Yuan Bin. It is called on the officialdom. Everyone is used to shouting in Gaoli. Fushou shouted "Sui Zhen Fushou".

Of course, when it comes to Tang Fan's mouth, how does it all mean a little ridicule.

Suizhou leaned back on his chair and took the buckwheat tea delivered by Adong. He said: "It is not necessary to fight side by side. Since it is the governor, it is natural to calm the Quartet. You five officials, go to I have to listen to my instructions. "

Of course, this is also a joke, meaning more.

Tang Fan heard the words and laughed: "Then I have to fight with you. You are now a Wupin military office. I am a Wupin civilian office. We have always been since the orthodox. The principle of being able to command the four-ranking generals is that your boss Yuan is here. I ’m afraid I have to listen to my command. Otherwise, I ca n’t lift my hand, I ca n’t pick my shoulders. stop?"

He squeezed his eyes at Ason again: "Are you right, sister?"

Aston nodded: "Yes."

Tang Fan lifted Erlang's legs and said proudly to Suizhou: "It's good to have a girl, look at my intimate home!"

A Dong: "I mean Brother Sui is right."

Tang Fan was very dissatisfied: "How do you turn your arms out!"

A Dong giggled: "Of course you have to go abroad. Brother, your current money is all in the hands of Brother Sui. If you don't have him, we both don't have to drink the northwest wind!"

Tang Fan couldn't help but refute: "What's all! I just gave him half. Isn't it okay to buy you money every month!"

Suizhou: "Then tell me how much money do you have now?"

Seeing the two of them looking at him with four pairs of eyes, Tang Fan said in a big voice: "A man ’s private money is secret and he ca n’t just ask!"

A Dong asked Suizhou again: "Brother Sui, how much do you have now?"

Suizhou didn't say "can't just ask casually", he said frankly: "Last year, he saved thirty-two, even the three hundred and fifty two that I gave to me before, a total of three hundred and eighty two, I also had some savings before, A total of about 1,400. "

A Dong marveled: "Hello Sui, you are rich!"

Tang Fan couldn't help but protest: "I still have a picture of Wang Ximeng in my room, which is more valuable than his 1,422!"

A Dong glanced at the heaven and earth: "That's obviously the father and mother left to you!"

Tang Fan made a haha: "The weather is so good today, the crystal meat is lonely for a long time, waiting for us to have a good time, talk about how vulgar the money, full of copper smell!"

A Dong covered his mouth and smiled: "It's obvious that I secretly hid the pen fee under the pillow and didn't turn it in. I thought how long you could hide it, and I bought a bunch of idle books in a blink of an eye!"

Tang Fan's old face couldn't hold up: "What is a useless idle book, but it's" Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi ", a Song version book that can't be bought with money, I bought it for a long time!

A Dong blinked: "There is clearly a" Spring Tide "."

Suizhou frowned: "How come the name sounds weird?"

Tang Fan has a little bit of fictitiousness: "That's the monster of Zhenger's eight classics, so don't think about it in a crooked place!"

He didn't say it was okay, the more it was, the darker it became.

Suizhou: "Look back and show me."

A Dong Dynasty Tang made a grimace: "I also want to see!"

Master Tang felt sad and said: "The last time you took my manuscript of" Warring States ", I haven't returned it yet!"

Although Tang has some time in his spare time, he also writes idle books as a pastime, and he can also get some pen fees, but it is said that he wrote the Fengyue script, and he did injustice, like "Warring States", it is him The historical romance written in the background of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States period, because of the complex content, he often has no time, so only two-thirds of it has been written so far.

Suizhou said innocently: "I haven't finished reading it, I'll pay you back after watching it."

Tang Fan: "When did you finish reading?"

Suizhou: "When you promise not to secretly hide the pen fee next time."

Master Tang is guilty of acting boldly, expressing protest and dissatisfaction with this unequal system: "Then you didn't give me the money!"

Suizhou ended all controversies in one sentence: "But I have no trouble spending money."

Tang Fan: "..."

With a bang, his self-esteem broke.

The bigger the head officer has done this year, the lower the status in the family, which makes people no longer alive!

He wants to run away from home ...

Seeing his ears seem to be drooping down, Sui Zhenfu made a rare and loving stroke of his friend ’s dog ’s head: "I do n’t greedy your money, I just help you keep it. Whoever lets you see the book will be happy. The study is almost out of order, and restraint is required. "

Master Tang burst into tears.

The words were divided into two ends. As expected by Suizhou, this case was presented to the cabinet and was transferred to the emperor. Sure enough, even the emperor Chenghua who did not love the affairs was shocked. He not only conveyed his importance to the cabinet He also asked the cabinet to send people to join Jinyiwei to investigate together. It is necessary to investigate the case and find out if there are indeed grave robbers digging the emperor's mausoleum.

Was the emperor sorrowing because of the death of 14 lives?

Of course not, because everyone is the emperor, the emperor's mausoleum was stolen in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the emperor's rabbit was dead and sad. It is inevitable that he would go behind him. Attach importance to strict investigation.

The Cabinet summed it up and sent the matter to the Penal Department, because in the final analysis, the grave robbing case is still within the responsibility of the Penal Department.

As a matter of course, as the leader of the Qing Dynasty officials, Tang Pan was duty-bound.

Zhang Shangshu called Tang Fan over and asked him to take someone with him to investigate the case together with Jin Yiwei's staff.

Since Tang Fan and Liang Shilang confronted each other last time, Zhang Shangshu looked at him inexplicably, and he was not hesitant to express his appreciation of Tang Fan in public. Although Tang Fan knew that this was because Zhang Shangshu and Liang Shilang could not get along, So he used himself as a gunman, but Tang Fan himself was not without benefits, at least he used this to conquer the hearts of the Henan Qing officials.

So in any case, the relationship between him and Zhang Ying is a win-win situation. Of course, Zhang Ying has a Shangshu. He wants Tang Fan to do something, and Tang Fan has no room to shirk.

To this end, Zhang Ying specially called Tang Fan to his duty room. He first asked a few words about how he was doing recently. Did he encounter any difficulties in his work? Try to help you as much as possible, Tang Fan certainly has to say that thanks to the care of adults, everything is fine.

After a few words between the two sides, Zhang Ying entered the topic: "You already know the case of the stolen Song Emperor's mausoleum?"

Tang Fan nodded: "The official document has been issued to the Qing Dynasty official in Henan, and the official has read the file."

Zhang Ying asked: "So what do you think?"

Tang Fandao: "Xu Xiaguan bluntly said that it was a bit tricky."

Zhang Ying sighed slightly: "Yeah, those villagers and the mansion are arresting fast, they may not have really fallen to the river, and there may not be any ghosts, but since the other party can kill more than a dozen lives, if it is really artificial, it must be extremely vicious Only, this case is really not easy to solve. However, "

He paused: "No matter how tricky it is, you must go all out. If this case can be resolved, I will go to the old court and give you credit."

Tang Fan busyly said: "Xiaguan will definitely do his utmost and dare not say anything!"

Zhang Ying suddenly asked, "I heard that in your backs, you and I called the other five Shangshu dramas as clay sculpture Shangshu, right?"

Tang Fan made a stunned expression: "Where did this word come from, but Xiaguan never heard of it!"

Zhang Ying smiled slightly: "You don't have to be confused, I don't blame you, I just want to hear the truth."

Tang Fandao said: "The others are not in office, but in the three years of Chenghua, you have been the governor of Ningxia as the deputy of the right capital. It is with your advocacy and leadership that Ningxia city changed its face and changed from mud to brick You built the river course, and then you personally led the river to irrigate more than 700 acres of farmland in Lingzhou, benefiting countless livelihoods. These few moral calendars are visible. The people in Ningxia regard you as a rebirth parent. Chao Wenwu really has few ministers who can do things! "

Yes, although Zhang Ying was listed as a clay sculpture book, he did not do so from the beginning. He was also full of blood, serving the country, benefiting the people, he also had a lot of political achievements, and claimed to be a good minister. Many people saw drinking tea now. Zhang Shangshu, who lives together, thinks he has always been drinking tea.

If Tang Fan didn't see Zhang Ying's resume from Suizhou, he wouldn't know that Zhang Shangshu had such a capable and progressive side.

Sure enough, Zhang Ying showed a moving face: "How do you know this?"

Tang Fan smiled and said: "Xiaguan's teacher Qiu Jun has praised Zhang Shangshu as a noble official in front of the officer. After hearing that the officer came to the Penal Department, he wrote to the officer to learn from you!"

Of course, Tang Fan was purely putting gold on his teacher's face, and by the way, Zhang Ying also gave a reasonable explanation. He couldn't say that I saw your resume at Jin Yiwei, right?

Zhang Ying was touched and somewhat ashamed: "I didn't expect Qiu Qiongshan to say so to me, but unfortunately Lian is quite old now, and I am no longer the same as me!"

Tang Fan sincerely said: "It's not good to ruin the reputation, people don't count, and a hundred years later, the history book will give the Ministry a fair evaluation!"

Zhang Yingjiu's officialdom was not so easy to be emotional, but Tang Fan talked about his heart today. Now everyone avoids misfortune and has to live by. The longer his official has done, the more he has seen, the more he has experienced. , The more disheartened, simply buried all the blood in the past, and also learned to do the right thing as others did, and walked the bird.

As a result, others put him side by side with Yin Qian, Liu Zhaona and other mediocrities, and got a nickname of "Clay Sculpture Six Books" to tease him. After listening for a long time, Zhang Ying was also numb.

Unexpectedly, how could Zhang Ying not be moved today when it was a little Slangzhong who broke through his deep grievances and depressions?

With this outing, the relationship between the two immediately narrowed a lot.

Zhang Ying directly called Tang Fan ’s words: “Run Qing, do n’t look at this case, it ’s tricky, but it ’s already left a number under the majesty. If it can be done well, it will be of great benefit to your career prospects. of."

Obviously, Zhang Shangshu now regards Tang Fan as half of his own, otherwise he would not be mentioned as such.

This is not only because Tang Fangang said something that opened the heart of the other party, but Tang Fan had no foundation in the penal department, and he had fallen out with Liang Shilang before. The only person he could rely on was Zhang Ying, who was still a book.

For this smart young official, Zhang Ying naturally gave birth to cultivation.

Tang Pan really knew what he wanted, and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you for mentioning the point, the officer will do his best to investigate this case!"

Zhang Ying nodded with satisfaction: "The only inconvenience is to handle the case with Jin Yiwei. I heard that the township envoy of Beizhen Fusi will also go in person. The people are the same. Jin Yiwei has always been special, and may not be willing to obey your arrangements, but since you can let Jin Yiwei help you investigate the case that Yin Yuanhua handled, the last time you want to come to you, there is some friendship, I do n’t have to worry about you . "

Tang Fan was a little embarrassed: "Last time, the officials were reckless, and they caused trouble for the ministry. Please ask the ministry to forgive sins."

Zhang Ying smiled and said: "The man of Liang Wenhua has always been arrogant, thinking that the Penal Department is his eloquence, it is time for someone to kill him, but after all, you have different respects from top to bottom. Okay, do n’t let anyone grab the handle. "

Tang Pan was only taught by nature.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, fast or slow, and hand over good work with Dai Hongming, let him take charge of the Qing Dynasty officials in Henan during this period, and leave two officers for him to send, he also took Yin Yuanhua and Cheng Wen and Tianxuan, two officers, went to Henan with the manpower sent by Jin Yiwei.

According to the rules, Yin Yuanhua originally did not need to accompany him. As Tang Pan ’s deputy, when Tang Pan was away, he should be his turn to take charge of the Henan Qing Lisi, but he did not know what kind of wind he was pumping. Tang Fan went together, and Liang Shilang also said that the case was serious, and that the chief and deputy officials of the Henan Qing Li Division should go to the same time to show their importance.

In this way, Dai Hongming was cheaper. He acted as the principal in the position of Langzhong and took charge of the Qing Dynasty officials.

At the end of May, a group of people left the capital and went to Gong County, Henan Province.

The author has something to say:

Quack, this chapter talks a lot ~

I found a big secret in my name! It turns out that my name is Meng Xishi, no wonder so cute ... [Reader: (￣ε (# ￣) ☆ ╰╮ (￣ ▽ ￣ ///)]

In the official circles of the middle and early Ming dynasties, there is a very distinctive feature. Although there are also intrigues, for the younger talents, many senior officials will properly protect them, not for any benefit, but hope that they will become the pillars of the country in the future. This is something that can't be seen on the officialdom. It can also be regarded as a clear stream.

The most famous example is Zhang Juzheng. When you look at his resume, you can find that at that time, many people were astonished because of his talents. They all felt that he would be the pillar of the future. On his way to promotion, he was granted protection. Escort, later facts also proved that Zhang Juzheng did not live up to these people's high expectations, he did save the Ming Dynasty and became a hero of the Ming Dynasty ZTE.
