Chapter 285: Tombs

Naturally, Mrs. Wei also saw the cat's paw in it.

She winked at the two servants, and they immediately stood in front of Xingxing and Pan, staring at Zhao Youde, Zhao Youkang and others.

In addition, the villagers also looked unfriendly. Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang knew that they would be in trouble today. They glared at the Yu family including Xingxing several times, then turned around and left angrily.

Pan said to them from behind: "Pack your bags and leave! Don't stay at my house! My house can't accommodate a few big Buddhas like you!"

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang turned around and glared at Pan fiercely, and threatened in a hoarse voice: "Just wait for me!"

Pan snorted coldly.

When the villagers saw that there was no more excitement, they dispersed.

Pan then took Xingxing's hand and asked her, "Miss, how do you tell me about what happened just now?"

Xing Xing shook her head: "I can't really explain it. It seems like they are messing around a lot, but in the end they want to take the tomb of the Zhao family... It seems like everything else is fake, and their real goal is to take the tomb."

Xingxing added silently in her heart that it might even be a coincidence that they were cheating the Yu family.

"A cemetery?" Mrs. Pan was confused. "Isn't that just an ordinary piece of land behind our mountain? Don't all the dead in our village get buried there? At best, it has better feng shui... What's the point of him having those graves?"

Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu were also puzzled.

Xing Xing thought of a possibility. Her delicate eyebrows on her fair and tender face were almost wrinkled. "I remembered an anecdote that my third brother told me before. It said that a few tomb robbers found a Feng Shui treasure land by dividing gold and determining the burial site. They said that there must be a tomb of the previous dynasty buried there, with countless gold, silver and treasures buried with the dead. But a house has already been built on top of the tomb."

"Later, the tomb robbers simply bought the yard, closed the doors and windows at all times of the day and night, dug a tomb passage in the yard, and used the yard as a cover to steal many treasures from the tomb below."

Xing Xing blinked, "...So, is it possible that those Zhao family members discovered that there is some great tomb of the previous dynasty buried down there, so they are taking advantage of this to prepare to rob the tomb?"

This is somewhat shocking.

"It has been a barren mountain area for so many years. Most people who died in the village were buried there. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother were also buried there...even the tombs from a hundred years ago are still there. How can there be any big tombs there?" Mrs. Wei was a little puzzled.

A few people chatted for a while, but they were all quite confused.

However, everyone reached a consensus - there was definitely something wrong with the families of Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang!

Get rid of them first!

However, Pan never expected that after she drove Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang's families out, the two families brought government runners to the village the next day. Zhao Youde turned around complacently and told the villagers who were watching the excitement that their cousin died in unclear circumstances and they had specially invited the government runners to come and question and investigate.

Pan was so angry that she laughed!

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang are determined to cause trouble!

Upon hearing the noise, the Yu family also rushed over and told the yamen runners that it was a misunderstanding and they were willing to go to the yamen together to clarify the matter.

The yamen runners originally thought that it was just an ordinary dispute between ordinary people, but after arriving at Nantuo Village, they discovered that the matter actually involved the Yu family. They immediately looked at Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang in silence.

Others may not know, but they are from the government, so they naturally know that the Yu family looks low-key, but in fact they are already the richest family in Mapo County. Even if they are placed in the state capital, they are definitely a well-known level!

The Yu family contributed a lot to the taxes in Mapo County!

As these wealthy people had made contributions to the county's finances, and as the yamen runners had always had a good relationship with Yu Sanbao, the yamen runners naturally had a very good attitude towards them.

The yamen runners smiled and said to the Yu family, "There's no need to go to the yamen. Don't we know who the Yu family is? ... Besides, we're here just to ask some questions."

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang were dumbfounded, because they had stuffed money into the box!

Why are these two police officers suddenly so nice to the Yu family?

"Sir..." Zhao Youde smiled and wanted to give the yamen runner a reminder.

You have received the money, so please don't just do your job!

The yamen runner looked at him impatiently, then turned around and asked Pan what "Zhao Youcai's death was unclear" meant.

Naturally, Pan told the story again, and occasionally some villagers nodded in agreement, which served as evidence to prove that what Pan said was correct.

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang were sweating profusely and said hurriedly, "Sir, he, they must have been bribed by the Yu family! Don't listen to them!"

The yamen runner looked at Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang coldly and shouted, "The deceased has been dead for five years! During this period, the deceased's family had no doubts about it. And just as the deceased's family said, the villagers of Nantuo Village can prove that the deceased died of injuries caused by the avalanche. The deceased has been buried in peace!"

"If you insist on using the deceased to implicate others and you can't produce any evidence, don't blame us for arresting you for slandering others!"

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They only nodded and dared not say a word.

Before leaving, the yamen runners took out the silver that Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang had stuffed into their arms and stuffed it directly back into Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang's arms. Then they sneered and left without looking back.

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang could only watch the yamen runners leave with extremely ugly faces.

Neither Mrs. Wei nor Mrs. Pan could guess what Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang were doing.

It was not until two days later that dozens of neatly dressed guards lined up and rode into Nantuo Village.

The villagers of Nantuo Village were all shocked and watched the team from a distance, curiously.

After the guards dismounted, they surrounded a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and looking quite like an immortal.

The middle-aged man held a compass in one hand, made hand gestures with the other, and muttered something.

The group went all the way to the back mountain.

Finally, the middle-aged man stopped at the cemetery behind the mountain.

"The dragon absorbs water, and the phoenix is ​​ready to spread its wings. It is indeed here!" The man's eyebrows were filled with joy, and he laughed, "When I calculated before, I had already calculated that this place is the most suitable place for the Bai family to build a mausoleum. Building a tomb here will definitely benefit future generations and pass on the legacy for generations. After coming here to explore the site today, I found that this place is indeed very prosperous for the Bai family's fortune, and it is also in harmony with your horoscope! It is indeed a treasure land for the Bai family!"

At this point, the man in the Taoist robe showed some disgust on his face again, "…These graves of ordinary people are here, which is really a waste of this precious land."

The leading guard said nonchalantly, "...the Marquis said earlier that each grave would be compensated with 15 taels of silver and they would be allowed to relocate."

If Pan was here and heard this, she would understand why Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang had been making trouble here in the past few days!

Zhao Youde and Zhao Youkang learned from unknown sources that a nobleman was going to build a mausoleum on the hill behind Nantuo Village. He was going to move all the previous tombs and compensate the descendants of each tomb with 15 taels of silver.

The Zhao family has four tombs in this area!

That’s a full sixty taels of silver!

——They came here for the money for the Zhao family’s relocation of their graves!
