"No! I'll go in with you to protect the valuables."
As Niao Feifei put on his black-rimmed glasses, he instantly gained the air of a PhD. He was holding a thick notebook. "I've been there to investigate before. That area is a cemetery that's a thousand years old."
"Based on the pattern on the coffin board, it can be determined that it is a neighboring country from more than a thousand years ago."
Master Jingyuan looked at the white-feathered ostrich with curiosity. "You actually know about these things?"
Bird Feifei happily twirled around, its little tail popping out from behind it, swaying back and forth.
He raised his chin and said, “Let me introduce my second identity: a professor in the Archaeology Department of Yunnan University, specializing in the history of Yunnan.”
Master Jingyuan clapped his hands and said, "Impressive!"
"Ahem, let's get back to business." Niao Feifei pushed up her glasses and pulled a yellowed piece of paper from her notebook.
"The Lin Kingdom was once glorious, with a total of six kings. The tomb owner had no relation to the royal family. According to my investigation, she was an ordinary woman."

Master Jingyuan frowned. “The village woman has her own grave and abundant burial goods. Your statement is contradictory.”
Bird Feifei ignored him and frantically flipped through her notebook.
Lin Xi asked, "Who built her tomb?"
“Found it.” Niao Feifei pulled out a yellower piece of paper with Xu Luoshi written on it.
"There is no name, only surname. The tomb owner's surname is Luo, and her husband's surname is Xu. His name is Xu Shisheng. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and became the prime minister."
“It makes a lot more sense that her husband built the cemetery.”
Master Jingyuan couldn't help but speak up, "The top scholar and the village woman's wife, I smell a conspiracy."
Bird Flying glared at him, "Are you a dog?"
"You guessed wrong. There was no conspiracy. The county annals record a tragic love story..."
