Chapter 202 Jiang Yunzheng goes to repair Shi Chaoqing's grave
By this evening, the group arrived in Anyang County.
Shi Chaoqing was buried in the ancestral tomb of Shijia Village. It took more than an hour to reach Shijia Village from Anyang County.
Shijia Village is located deep in the mountains. It was not called Shijia Village in the early years. It was only because a minister of the Ministry of Revenue came from a family with the surname Shi in the village that the village was renamed Shijia Village.
However, after the news of Ishida's corruption and house raiding spread, the village chief thought about changing the name again.
The village was very quiet, and so many people coming at night naturally alarmed the village chief.
Qi Yunshen only said that he was once Shi Chaoqing's classmate and now came to pay tribute to Shi Chaoqing.
The village chief said: "A few days ago, tomb robbers appeared from nowhere. The next day, someone from the village went up the mountain to hunt and discovered a hole at the entrance of the tomb."
Jiang Yunzheng asked, "What's in the coffin?"
The village chief sighed, "The gold and silver in the coffin were all stolen, but that person... is still there. I had someone make a new coffin to put the person in and temporarily sealed the tomb. Since you want to take care of it for the Shi family, I will not interfere any more."
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Jiang Yunzheng did not say that she was Shi Chaoqing's wife.
Qi An gave the village chief two gold ingots, and the village chief smiled and arranged for the group to stay in different households in the village.
Jiang Yunzheng and Qi Yunshen moved into the empty house of the village chief.
Qi An and Hou Yue took turns guarding the yard at night. There were ten guards watching over the yard, and the rest went to sleep.
The village chief's wife boiled some hot water for the two of them. It was cold in the mountains, so Jiang Yunzheng simply wiped his hands and feet and lay down on the kang that had been heated in advance. Only then did the coldness all over Jiang Yunzheng's body disappear.
Qi Yunshen lay on his side, holding down Jiang Yunzheng's hands and feet.
Jiang Yunzheng: "Go to sleep. We have to go to the mountain early tomorrow morning."
Qi Yunshen touched Jiang Yunzheng's pale face and asked, "Are you scared?"
Jiang Yunzheng held Qi Yunshen's big hand, her heart still at peace, "I've seen all the ups and downs, I just want to know the result."
The real Shi Chaoqing passed away from a serious illness in Lushan Academy.
Later, who was the person who replaced 'Shi Chaoqing'?
Qi Yunshen gently covered her eyes and said, "Go to sleep. I'm here."
In the early morning, the rooster crows early.
Jiang Yunzheng opened her eyes early and the person next to her had already gotten up.
Jiang Yunzheng sat up, the door opened, and Qi Yunshen came in with a basin of hot water. He glanced at the bed and asked, "Awake?"
Jiang Yunzheng rubbed her eyes with a "hmm" sound, and there were still red marks on her face from the pressure.
Qi Yunshen smiled, walked forward to help Jiang Yunzheng put on her outer robe, and wiped the face of the dazed person beside the bed.
Jiang Yunzheng finally came to her senses. Seeing that Qi Yunshen was still combing her hair, Jiang Yunzheng said, "I'll do it myself. You should get out first."
Qi Yunshen leaned against the bed frame, his whole body tall and graceful, his eyes never leaving Jiang Yunzheng.
No matter how many times, Jiang Yunzheng would feel her ears burning with heat when she met Qi Yunshen's burning gaze. She had never gotten used to it.
Jiang Yunzheng put on her shoes, glanced at him, and then ignored him. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and simply combed her hair into a bun.
After breakfast, the group went up the mountain.
The grave repairman that the village chief had found in advance last night was also among them.
A curious villager along the way ran to the village chief's house to ask, and the village chief slapped the person on the head and said, "Have you weeded the fields? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Villager: "Building a grave for the man on the mountain?"
After the Shi family fell, people in the village were too embarrassed to say that they were from Shijia Village when they went out.
The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, don't ask any more questions."
The Shi family's ancestral tomb is on the mountain behind Shijia Village. From the Shi family's great-grandfather to Shi Chaoqing, it occupies almost the entire halfway up the mountain. Behind this mountain is an endless dense forest.
Shi Chaoqing's grave is on the easternmost side. There are traces of soil being renovated around the grave, and the tomb entrance is blocked very roughly.
Because the money given before was not enough, the grave was repaired roughly.
Now that we have enough silver, we must repair the holes at the entrance of the cave.
Qi Yunshen and Jiang Yunzheng were watching at the edge of the cemetery. After the tomb was opened, Jiang Yunzheng looked inside. The coffin was tightly sealed and there was nothing unusual. The dead are the most important, so no matter who was lying inside, Jiang Yunzheng had no intention of opening the coffin for the time being.
Just as the cave entrance was about to be repaired and the group was preparing to go down the mountain, suddenly a group of skinny men in black emerged from the dense forest behind them.
The target was directly aimed at Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng was always blocked behind Qi Yunshen. Before Qi Yunshen even made a move, this group of men in black who had been hungry for who knows how many days were quickly subdued by Qi An and others, and their jaws were removed to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide.
Jiang Yunzheng picked up a scimitar on the ground.
Jiang Yunzheng: "Xixia people?"
"You are tomb robbers and you deliberately led me here. Who is your master?"
The leading man in black was the one Shi Chaoqing had deliberately left in Daliang at that time.
He glared at Jiang Yunzheng, then glanced at Qi Yunshen, feeling unfair for Murong Che.
"You... the young master has only been gone for a few years, and you're already hooking up with an outsider?!"
Jiang Yunzheng:?
She sneered, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll lock you up and make you accompany your master for the rest of your life."
"You vicious woman!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black was kicked down by Qi Yunshen and spat out blood.
Qi Yunshen patted Jiang Yunzheng's back. He glanced at the group of Xixia people who were glaring at him and said calmly, "They are Murong Che's people."
