"Zhao Jinzhi is your mother!" Lu Qing's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
She has finally found a clue to unravel the secret.
But it was almost noon, and he had to hurry back to cook, so he couldn't explain in detail and had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
After lunch, Lu Qing hurriedly asked her grandfather to take her to find Old Master Zhao.
Grandpa didn't know what had happened to Sun Yang, so Lu Qing could only give him a brief explanation.
"Grandpa, I'm really curious about Zhao Jinzhi. Do you know her?"
Grandpa shook his head: "I only know that Old Zhao's mother was a member of the underground party and a martyr who sacrificed her life for the revolution, but I really don't know the specifics of her grave."
"Anyway, you'll see Old Zhao soon, just ask him."
Lu Qing: "Okay!"
When Grandpa brought Lu Qing to Old Master Zhao's house, they happened to run into him leading a group of people out in a menacing manner, each of them with a face full of anger.
"Old Zhao, what's wrong with you? Where are you going?" Grandpa asked.
"Old Han, whatever you want to say, wait until I get back. My family's ancestral graves have been dug up, I have to go and kill that bastard!"
"Is this your mother's grave?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
"Girl, how did you know?" Old Master Zhao asked, puzzled.
Lu Qing was about to explain when he waved his hand and said, "Never mind, let's catch that grave-digging bastard first!"
Do you know who dug up your family's ancestral graves?
Old Master Zhao: "Of course! He was caught red-handed by Er Mazi from the village while he was digging, and now he's being held captive in front of the grave!"
"Brothers, boys, grab your weapons and come with me!"
A large group of people from the Zhao family rushed out.
"Grandpa, your legs aren't very strong. I'll go after him and check on him. You should go back first!"
After Lu Qing finished speaking, he chased after her.
Grandpa Han had injured his leg when he was young, and he couldn't catch up at all. He could only go home first and tell others about it.
Lu Qing followed the Zhao family to the northern fields.
The gravedigger was beaten black and blue and forced to kneel in front of the grave.
Lu Qing finally managed to squeeze to the front, and when she saw the person, she was shocked:
"Bro!!!"
That's right, the person who was caught was Wang Yanjun.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's voice, he immediately shouted:
"Lu Qing, help me! Please save me!"
Old Master Zhao stepped forward and struck him with his cane:
"You beast! You dare to dig up my ancestral graves and then cry for help? No one can save you today!"
Wang Yanjun winced in pain and lowered his head weakly.
Just as Old Master Zhao was about to strike a second time, Lu Qing grabbed his cane.
"Old Master Zhao, I'm sorry! He's my friend, there must be some misunderstanding!"
Old Master Zhao immediately glared at him and said angrily:
"What misunderstanding could there be! People saw him digging up the grave with their own eyes!"
"Girl, I'm letting you off the hook because you're Old Han's granddaughter. Get out of the way so you don't get hurt!"
Old Master Zhao tried to pull his cane back, but he couldn't budge it no matter how hard he tried.
"Little girl, let go! Let go of me!"
Upon seeing this, a middle-aged man from the Zhao family immediately stepped forward:
"Little girl, my dad told you to let go, didn't you hear me!"
He reached out to try to pull Lu Qing away, but as soon as he touched her, her wrist was twisted, and he couldn't move at all due to the pain.
Everyone was surprised that Lu Qing, a young girl, could have such strength, and they all became tense.
Old Master Zhao frowned deeply:
"Little girl, you asked me about Mom this morning, could you be in cahoots with this bastard?!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than Grandpa's voice came:
"Old Zhao, shut up! My granddaughter has nothing better to do than dig up your ancestral graves!"
My maternal grandparents came, and my paternal grandparents came too.
When Old Master Chu saw that Lu Qing had one in each hand and his son under his thumb, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have loved to applaud Lu Qing.
My granddaughter is amazing!
"Girl, what happened? Don't worry, it's not your fault. Grandpa will never let this old man bully you!" Grandpa asked softly.
When Old Master Zhao heard this, he wanted to roll his eyes a few times.
This girl could take them all down with one hand. Who's bullying whom here?
Lu Qing released his grip and bowed to Old Master Zhao in apology:
"Sir, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you. I just wanted to ask my friend a few questions."
"He's a policeman; he wouldn't dig up your ancestral grave for no reason!"
Old Master Zhao frowned: "You're saying this grandson is a policeman?"
Lu Qing nodded, then took out his ID from Wang Yanjun's jacket pocket and showed it to him:
"Look, he really is a policeman!"
"Even the police can't dig up my ancestral graves without our consent!" Old Master Zhao said angrily.
Lu Qing turned to Wang Yanjun and asked:
"Brother, did you really dig up this grave?"
Wang Yanjun nodded: "Yes! I dug this grave, but I did it on orders from above."
"What exactly happened?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.
Wang Yanjun glanced at the people around him, then shook his head:
"This is confidential, I can't tell you!"
"What secrets? You dug up my family's grave and didn't even tell me why. What kind of logic is that?" Old Master Zhao was even angrier.
Wang Yanjun lowered his eyes and sighed:
"Take me to the police station. If there's any compensation or anything, a lawyer will handle it with you, but I really can't say why!"
"You dug up my mother's grave, do you think you can just settle it by paying compensation?"
Old Master Zhao was so angry that he hit him with his cane again, but this time Lu Qing did not stop him.
She knew that Wang Yanjun must have had a reason to keep this a secret, but it was indeed unethical to dig up someone's ancestral grave so casually, and he deserved to be punished.
Lu Qing walked to the dug-out grave. The coffin lid had been half lifted, and a piece of rotten wood extended out from it, with poisonous mushrooms growing on it.
She felt a strange power emanating from the coffin.
After a moment's thought, she jumped down and yanked open the coffin lid.
The scene inside made her heart pound with fear.
A humanoid figure made of vines was lying on the skeleton inside the coffin, with the decaying wood extending from it.
Although this thing looks terrifying, it is full of spiritual energy.
It was neither spirit nor demon; Lu Qing had never seen such a creature before.
It clung to the bones, as if absorbing something.
Lu Qing looked down and examined the skeleton closely; it was covered with a faint golden light.
This is something that only happens to people who have accumulated great merit after death. Their merit is so great that even their bones are covered with golden light.
The golden light was absorbed into the vine, nourishing its growth.
Lu Qing was shocked for a moment, then wanted to find out what the vine was.
At this moment, Wang Yanjun hurriedly spoke up to stop her:
"Lu Qing, don't touch it! Wait five more minutes, and don't let anyone touch it. I'll tell you why afterwards!"
Lu Qing's gaze darkened slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she waved her hand and tossed out a lightning talisman that hovered above the vines.
"I want you to tell me why right now, or I'll destroy it immediately!"
