Su Yuanqing refused, saying it was inappropriate, but the more he refused, the more the two wanted to go.
In the end, no one knew how, but the three of them got on a carriage and headed towards the outskirts of Beijing.
As the cold wind blew outside, Master Li and Master Liu became more conscious. They both felt regretful. Why did they go to the mountain instead of staying in bed with a good girl?
But the words have been spoken, and there is no going back on them. Going back on them now would be embarrassing.
The two of them followed Su Yuanqing to the foot of the mountain in a daze.
On the way up the mountain, Su Yuanqing kept talking about the dispute between the Su and Lin families over this piece of land. He also mentioned that the Lin family asked for 200,000 taels of silver before they would sell the mountain. Although the Lin family's mountain had wild ginseng, it shouldn't be worth so much silver.
Young Master Li and Young Master Liu listened and cursed the Lin family all the way.
The three of them crossed the dense forest and arrived at the Su family cemetery.
Su Yuanqing looked around and did not see the group of people who had held the funeral in the morning. He thought they were just passing by.
Then he looked at the two graves that he had dug up, revealing the coffins.
He fell to his knees with a thud, his knees touching the cold ground, his face distorted with pain.
"Grandfather, great-grandfather, who was so cruel as to dig up your graves?"
Young Master Li and Young Master Liu also saw it, and both of them were surprised.
"What's going on? Who is so bold as to disturb the ancestral tomb of the Marquis of Pingning?"
Young Master Liu's mind moved, and he slapped his thigh vigorously, "Could it be the Lin family?"
"Because of what happened last time, I'm deliberately taking revenge on you."
Su Yuanqing raised her head with tears on her face and said hesitantly, "No way? Third Young Master Lin doesn't look like such a sinister person."
Young Master Li snorted, "These merchants are the most cunning. Brother Su, don't be fooled by his appearance."
"What wouldn't they do for money?"
"Could it be that your Su family has offended someone else? If it weren't for overwhelming hatred, who would do such a wicked thing?"
"People who do this kind of thing aren't afraid of having no descendants in the future."
"Brother Su, don't worry. From now on, I will help you curse this person every day. Whoever digs up the Su family's ancestral grave will go to hell, have their tongue pulled out, and be thrown into a frying pan."
Young Master Li cursed one after another, which made Su Yuanqing terrified.
He quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Brother Li, stop talking. This matter still needs to be investigated in detail. Although the Lin family hates the Su family the most in the capital, this mountain also belongs to the Lin family, and we just had a dispute. But it can't be proved that this grave was dug by the Lin family."
Young Master Liu said angrily, "Brother Su, why are you being so fussy? This is an obvious matter, what else is there to investigate?"
"Regardless of whether it was done by the Lin family, the grave is on the mountain where the Lin family lives, right? If anything happens, he will be held responsible."
Su Yuanqing seemed to be persuaded. He stood up and walked around the grave, suppressing his sadness.
Suddenly he bent down and asked, "What is this?"
Young Master Li and Young Master Liu also walked forward and looked at what Su Yuanqing was holding.
Young Master Liu suddenly exclaimed, "I recognize this thing. It's called a deer bone skewer. It's used to dig ginseng."
Su Yuanqing was stunned. "Deer bone skewers? How could there be such a thing here?"
Young Master Li snorted, "Brother Su, haven't you figured it out yet? This must have fallen when the Lin family was digging the grave."
Su Yuanqing's expression was filled with sorrow. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "I'm going to settle the score with them right now."
Young Master Liu and Young Master Li were also very righteous. They both said at the same time, "We will go with you and serve as your witnesses."
After the three of them added soil to the grave, they went down the mountain together.
As soon as they left, the group of mourners came over from not far away.
The middle-aged man walked to the grave, frowned, and said, "Third uncle, I don't know who filled up the grave of the old marquis of the Su family."
They had previously discovered that the grave had been damaged and had intended to fill it in immediately. However, since they had already calculated an auspicious time for their own burial and the coffin could not be placed on the ground, they decided to return and help fill it in.
He looked around but saw no one.
The old man looked at the filled grave and said, "Now that it's filled, let's go. We still have to clean up the house in the capital."
"Also, please send a message to the palace. I will be going to the palace to see the emperor this afternoon."
The middle-aged man nodded and respectfully stepped forward to support the old man.
At this moment, Su Yuanqing and the two men were almost at the bottom of the mountain. They went down the mountain, got on a carriage and returned to the capital.
Upon arriving in the capital, the carriage did not go directly to Lin's Trading Company, but went to a shop selling funeral supplies.
This was also what several people discussed in the car. The matter had to be made a big deal to make the Lin family look bad.
Afterwards, Su Yuanqing stood at the door of Lin's Trading Company in mourning clothes.
Before he even opened his mouth to speak, he had already attracted a lot of onlookers.
Young Master Li and Young Master Liu were also busy. One went to the Su family to report the news, while the other stayed with Su Yuanqing, responding to the situation as needed.
When Lin Wuchen got the news, Su Yuanqing was explaining the whole story to the onlookers.
It started with the Lin family asking for two hundred thousand taels of silver, and continued to the story of the Su family's ancestral tomb being dug up today.
Su Yuanqing was dressed in mourning clothes, tears streaming down his face. When he mentioned his deceased ancestors, he wished he could just bang his head against the Lin family's door and die.
The people gathered around to watch the excitement were all whispering to each other. Disturbing someone's ancestors and digging up their ancestral graves, only a very wicked person would do such a thing.
Someone said, "The Lin family doesn't seem like that. The Third Young Master is such a handsome man, how could he possibly dig up someone else's ancestral grave?"
Then someone said disdainfully: "What you said is just superficial. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. If merchants are not cunning, how can they make so much money?"
