A knife in love

Chapter 2311
When Xiao Dong was talking with Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu, Li Qiufeng kept staring at the water surface, but Qi Jiu never showed up, and he became more and more uneasy.But when he heard Xiao Dong talking about Chen Xing, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, I have heard from my master that Chen Xing was originally a famous scholar in Yizhou, and many powerful people in Yizhou were not convinced when the first master took the land of Shu.Although the Former Lord and Zhuge Wuhou promoted Yizhou local tyrants to high-ranking officials, such as Li Yan, who was mediocre, but entrusted with important tasks, it was a last resort, but Yizhou scholars such as Chen Xing were always dissatisfied.Therefore, it is not uncommon for him to advocate surrendering to Cao Wei later.Xiao Dong said that the first master and later generations wanted to seek revenge on Chen Xing, but they treated the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.After the Queen descended to Wei, most of the Liu family fled, and since then they have only focused on avoiding disaster. How could they have the heart to dig Chen Xing's grave?Most likely, this person has done too many bad things, and he is just paranoid.

I only heard Xiao Dong continue to say: "After Chen Xing's descendants buried their ancestors in the tombs scattered all over the institutions, they were afraid that the enemies would be powerful, so they couldn't rest assured. Therefore, Chengjia Village selected strong and strong clan members to patrol around the tomb every day. It has lasted for hundreds of years. When the children of the Cheng family were patrolling that day, they found a big hole in the brick wall on the right side of the tomb. People went to check it. They saw black air coming out of the big hole, and there were strange noises in the hole. The patriarch knew that this big tomb was built according to the method written by Chen Xing, and there were extremely powerful mechanisms in the tomb. The news is that even Chen Xing’s descendants dare not enter without permission. Although someone sneaked into the tomb, they may not be able to escape. Therefore, he ordered his people to surround the tomb on all sides. If the tomb robbers are still in the tomb, they will not easily escape. escape.

"After the patriarch made arrangements, he brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to the Chengdu government to report to the officials. He sent the silver out, and the magistrate would naturally not sit idly by. He sent the most powerful police officer from the prefect's yamen to Chengjia Village to catch the tomb robber. .

"These police officers are all masters in handling cases, and they thought it would be easy to catch the tomb robbers, but when they arrived at Chen Xing's tomb, they saw the black air coming out of the robber's cave and heard strange noises coming from inside the cave. , All of them turned pale with fright. The leader of the tolerance did not dare to do anything, called the head of the Cheng family to him, and asked him how to enter the tomb. The boss coaxed and threatened him, but finally he took out the booklet that Chen Xing left behind and handed it to the tolerance chief. The tolerance chief finally opened the door of the tomb according to the instructions in the booklet.

"It's just that the door of the tomb was just opened, and everyone felt lightning flashing and thunder roaring in front of them, and then a large stream of water gushed out from the tomb passage, and instantly washed everyone to pieces. When the water rushed out of the tomb passage, mixed with There are many bricks, wood boards, stone tools, and even crossbow arrows, short knives and other weapons. Seeing this, the head of the Cheng family and the head of the tolerance were shocked, and restrained their subordinates until the large stream of water turned into a trickle. People walked into the tomb with trepidation. They saw a big hole was dug in the stone wall at the right end of the middle of the tomb. Naturally, it was the exit of the robbery hole in the brick wall of the tomb. On the edge of the tomb door inside the tomb, several people appeared on the ground. From the round hole, clear water flows out.

"When everyone saw this situation, they realized that the water in the tomb passage gushed out of these round holes. It seems that someone detected an underground river flowing under the tomb, and tried to guide the water into the tomb passage. The round holes gushed out. Although the water flowing out was not strong, the stone gates at both ends of the tomb passage were tightly closed, so the water could not leak out. The accumulated water accumulated more and more, and finally submerged the tomb passage. As the saying goes, if you gather sand to form a tower, and accumulated water to form an abyss, water is originally the softest thing in the world. However, there was a lot of accumulated water, which actually broke through the tomb door inside the tomb and poured into the tomb. As a result, although there were organs in Chen Xing's tomb, the water surged and all the organs were destroyed. Those hidden crossbow arrows Weapons such as knives and knives gushed out of the tomb along with the water flow. In addition, many stone walls in the tomb passage and the tomb were washed away by the water, and the bricks, stones and tiles were also washed out of the tomb by the water."

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "The head of the Cheng family and the head of the tolerance led everyone into the tomb with fear, and saw that the inside had become dilapidated, and Chen Xing's coffin in the main tomb was turned upside down. There was only one headless skeleton left on the ground. The two coffins in the left and right ear chambers were also opened, and the two skeletons lying inside were Chen Xing's main wife and favorite concubine. Bones were scattered all over the place.

"The head of the Cheng family and his family were terrified and angry when they saw the bones of their ancestors turned into such a state. They all fell to the ground and cried bitterly, cursing the tomb robbers for being despicable and shameless. Everywhere was soaked by the water, and I thought that after entering the tomb, I would be able to take advantage of it and get some benefits, but I only saw bricks, stones, sand and broken wood everywhere, and there was not even a copper coin left, and I felt depressed. The tomb was eerie, and these police officers didn't want to stay in the tomb for a moment, so they searched indiscriminately. They only said that the water washed the tomb passage and the tomb chamber into a mess, destroying all the traces left by the tomb robbers, and left them in the tomb. There was no use in it, so he withdrew from the tomb and returned to the Yamen of the magistrate of Chengdu Prefecture to return to his order.

"The head of the Cheng family saw that the police officers had left cleanly, and knew that these people had nothing to gain, so he ordered the clan to collect the remains of Chen Xing and the two wives first, and planned to find Chen Xing's head before they could be properly released. For the burial, I prepared another generous gift, and begged the prefect of Chengdu to see the prefect overnight, begging the prefect to send someone to arrest the tomb robber, so as to avenge the ancestors. The prefect was overjoyed when he saw the Cheng family sent a lot of gold and silver jewels. Find the master and the head hunter, and ask them to arrest the tomb robber and bring back Chen Xing's head. If you delay this matter, you will be punished severely!

"The master and the catcher are resting at home. They were summoned by the magistrate late at night, and they got out of the hot blanket. The boss didn't want it. However, the head of the process family is a person with a sense of taste. As long as the magistrate is dealt with, the petty officials in the yamen cannot be offended. Therefore, when he entered the city, in addition to preparing a generous gift for the magistrate, he also prepared a gift for the master, the head arrester, the book office and other small officials. Seal the money. After the magistrate retreated, the head of the Cheng family immediately distributed more than twenty pieces of silver to the master, the head hunter and the others, asking them to help with all their strength.

"Master, Butou and others saw Yin Zi, their displeasure immediately disappeared without a trace, and they heard that the head of the Cheng family said that after the tomb robber was caught and Chen Xing's head was recovered, there must be a big thank you, and they were overjoyed. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. These petty officials heard that there is money to be earned, and all of them stared at each other. They patted their chests and swore to the head of the Cheng family that they would definitely catch the tomb robber and bring back Chen Xing's head. .”
