...Su Yun'an glanced at You Yi with a black line on his forehead: "You only noticed this?"
Hasn't that already been confirmed?
There's no need for him to prove anything further!
Youyi ignored him and looked at his grandmother's remains: "Although your grandfather was not tall, your grandmother must have been quite tall, no less than your maternal grandfather."
Su Yun'an was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned, asking, "Are my grandmother's remains a woman's?"
Youyi tapped Su Yun'an on the head speechlessly: "That's nonsense. If she's not a woman's remains, where did your second uncle and aunt come from?"
Su Yun'an blinked. His grandmother, being a woman, was nearly as tall as his grandfather.
Su Yun'an suddenly thought of something else: "I heard that men in the Northern Wei are all very tall, so perhaps women in the Northern Wei are also taller than women in the Eastern Chu. Do you think my grandmother might be from the Northern Wei?"
If my father was indeed a member of the Northern Wei royal family, then my grandparents must also have some connection with the Northern Wei. At least one of them must have had a connection with the Northern Wei, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to come into contact with my father, a member of the Northern Wei royal family.
Judging from his physique, the grandfather may not have been from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the grandmother might have been.
You Yi glanced at Su Yun'an but didn't say anything.
He can't draw a definitive conclusion on that; he's just saying what he sees and can't draw any other conclusions based on that.
After the remains were moved, the villagers began to move the burial goods. There weren't many burial goods, because the coffin had decayed, and many of them were dirty and unrecognizable.
However, most of them were earthenware jars, which were not worth much money, so people didn't feel any guilt when carrying them.
As the burial items were placed into the new coffin one by one, Su Yun'an suddenly noticed something.
Su Yun'an walked to his grandmother's coffin and picked up the muddy things inside.
Youyi also came over to take a look: "This looks like a knife."
It was indeed a knife, but the entire scabbard was covered in mud, making it impossible to recognize its original shape. However, judging from its shape, it should be a curved knife.
Su Yun'an unsheathed the sword and saw that it was indeed a curved sword, but because the coffin had decayed, the sword had long been corroded.
Su Yun'an held the knife and looked at You Yi: "It seems that we rarely see such curved knives in Dongchu."
At least he had never seen anyone in Dongchujing use such a knife.
Youyi raised an eyebrow noncommittally: "I've heard that Northern Wei soldiers like to use curved swords."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun'an's eyes lit up as if he had made a new discovery.
This knife was a burial item for my grandmother, not my grandfather. Northern Wei soldiers preferred curved swords, which makes sense.
Su Yun'an could keep the knife for inspection or as evidence, whether he wanted to or not.
He discreetly concealed the scimitar, then retreated from the coffin with Youyi.
No one noticed Su Yun'an's subtle actions; all they knew was that after all the burial items were moved, the coffin was resealed.
After Su Yun'an's grandparents were placed in new coffins, they were put back in their original coffins.
Su Xiaoli also stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, should we change General Su's coffin?"
General Su's coffin was made of the finest Phoebe zhennan wood, which they transported from the capital. Each coffin was worth a thousand taels of silver. Although the young master was also willing to spend money and bought the best coffin from Kaiyang County, the coffin from Kaiyang County still couldn't compare to the Phoebe zhennan wood coffin.
The wood here isn't even as good as the original coffin, so there's no need to replace it.
Although Su Yun'an had just found some clues about the Northern Wei Dynasty in his grandmother's coffin, he still had no clues about the Su family army.
I wonder if there were any clues in my father's coffin.
But his father's coffin was not damaged, and if he hadn't been forced to, he really didn't want to disturb his father's peace.
Youyi circled Su Renzhong's coffin once, then suddenly noticed something, frowned and shouted, "Come and see!"
The shouts from Youyi immediately disturbed Su Yun'an's thoughts.
Su Yun'an snapped out of her daze and immediately went to You Yi's side.
Su Xiaoli and Uncle Ping, who were also confused, came over.
"Look here." You Yi pointed out the marks on the coffin to Su Yun'an. Su Yun'an looked at the pry marks on the coffin and was immediately shocked. He looked at Su Xiaoli and asked, "What happened?"
Su Xiaoli was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He looked at Su Yun'an nervously and said, "I don't know. The coffin was fine when we were buried."
Because of the general's special status, he inspected the burial site thoroughly, checking it several times to ensure there were no problems before allowing the burial to proceed.
Why are there pry marks on this coffin? Did someone tamper with the general's coffin?
Su Yun'an stared grimly at the area that had been pried open, his mind racing with thoughts.
Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoli was terrified and immediately knelt down before Su Yun'an with a thud: "I really don't know anything, please forgive me, young master!"
Who on earth dared to be so bold as to touch the general's coffin? Wouldn't that kill them?
When the villagers of Sujia Village saw what had happened, they all gathered around.
The villagers were quite frightened when they saw the pry marks on the coffin.
"What happened? Did someone pry open the general's coffin?"
"That can't be right. The village chief checked it several times before the burial, and only proceeded with the burial after everything was confirmed to be in order!"
"Could it be that we've run into tomb raiders?!"
"What kind of thief is so bold as to dare to rob the tomb of a great general?"
Su Yun'an didn't want to pursue Su Xiaoli's responsibility at the moment, and just looked at him and said, "Get up first."
Su Xiaoli dared not get up, but he also dared not disobey Su Yun'an's words, so he shakily got up.
Su Yun'an then looked at the villagers and said, "Could you please help me change my father's coffin as well?"
The villagers looked at each other, not daring to disobey, and all obediently stepped forward to start prying open the coffin.
With everyone's efforts, Su Renzhong's coffin was pried open, and everyone immediately retreated.
Su Yun'an and You Yi immediately went forward to check on them.
Su Yun'an frowned when he saw the burial goods in the coffin.
It seems that the people who broke into the coffin were not trying to steal the burial goods.
The villagers also gathered around and were stunned once again when they saw the various gold, silver, jewelry, jade and emeralds in the coffin.
"Aren't all the burial items still there? What happened?"
"Could it be that tomb raiders left it there on purpose, because they didn't finish stealing it?"
"How could that be? They probably couldn't pry open the coffin!"
"That can't be right. If it's tomb raiding, how come there are coffins that can't be pried open?"
"Then tell me what happened?"
The villagers all looked bewildered.
There were clear signs of prying open on the coffin, and it seemed that none of the burial items inside were missing. Who could say for sure what happened?
