No matter how much Shi Junhe resented Mo Junyang, he finally agreed to Mo Junyang's plan.
Even if this matter is settled like this.
However, when Mo Junyang returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, General Shi finally realized a big problem.
He grabbed Shi Qingxue who was about to run away and asked in a cold voice: "Qingxue, why didn't I know that your marriage has been decided?"
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Shi Qingxue quickly showed a flattering smile to Shi Junhe and said coquettishly: "Good daddy! The best daddy in the world, you have been busy all day today, you must..."
"I'm not tired." Shi Junhe directly exposed Shi Qingxue's little trick and said coldly: "Also, why did you go to the ancestral grave with Prince Mo today? Go directly over your father and take people to see your grandfather, you It’s really getting bolder and bolder!”
At first, Shi Qingxue obeyed the instruction obediently, but later she realized why Shi Junhe was angry. She immediately felt extremely wronged and hurriedly explained: "Dad, you have wronged me this time! Jun Yang and I went to the ancestral grave to really It’s not just for paying homage to grandpa!”
"Not just?" Shi Junhe snorted, nitpicking angrily, "Does that mean besides 'meeting parents', you have other ulterior secrets?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
His father probably vented all his anger at Mo Junyang, who had been silenced by Mo Junyang, on her. His firepower was fully activated, leaving her powerless to resist!
"Dad! Let's put this matter aside first. After Grandpa's matter is resolved, you can come back and ask me about my crime, okay?" Shi Qingxue really didn't know how to explain it to Shi Junhe, so she had to throw out the key again. Task'.
Sure enough, Shi Junhe still had a look of surprise on his face, but he did not press the question any further. He only said: "I'll go back and settle today's matters first. This matter must be reported to the official. Also, doesn't Prince Mo still have a guard on his hands?" Tomb people? What are you going to do?"
Shi Qingxue blinked innocently, showing that she was completely unaware.
Shi Junhe: "Come on, if you want to know, just ask him. Will he tell you?"
The Duke of Guo has seen Mo Junyang's "obedience" to Shi Qingxue and "knowing everything he can't tell". If Shi Qingxue really pressed him, Mo Junyang would definitely tell him.
However, Shi Qingxue said very heartily: "But he said that he would handle this matter, and he could pry all the secrets out of the tomb keeper's mouth, so I didn't ask any more questions!"
Shi Junhe: "..."
——
The news that the old Duke's mausoleum was destroyed and his bones were missing soon reached Mo Xiangbin's ears.
The emperor was furious and ordered the governor of Kyoto to investigate the matter thoroughly. The murderer must be captured and Shi Lei's bones recovered.
Zheng Liangcai, the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, urgently integrated manpower to investigate the matter with all his strength.
But if Shi Qingxue hadn't suddenly gone to pay homage to Shi Lei, I don't know how long it would have taken for this matter to be discovered. In other words, they are now unable to determine when the murderer committed the crime, and they are even less able to guess where the murderer took Shi Lei's bones.
As for why he didn't steal the treasures from the tomb, but instead stole the bones of a dead person, it was a question that Zheng Liangcai didn't even dare to think about.
Zheng Liangcai checked cautiously. His first thought was to find Mo Shujun and take the tombkeeper Zeng Caiwang back to the Yamen for questioning.
Even if Zeng Caiwang didn't steal something like this - ordinary people probably wouldn't 'steal' the bones of his master - then it had to do with his dereliction of duty.
However, Zheng Liangcai was kicked out of the house by Mo Shujun without even seeing her face.
The eldest princess had a bad temper. She didn't care at all about the guesses and considerations of a little guy. She would just ask the people below to find Shi Lei's bones, but she had no intention of cooperating.
Zheng Liangcai was about to cry, and he no longer dared to play Mo Shujun's 'idea', but it would be impossible not to investigate this matter!
Zheng Liangcai had no choice but to go to Shi Junhe with even more anxiety and explain the matter to Shi Junhe in detail.
"That's what happened. I thought that if I wanted to find out the murderer, I had to arrest the tombkeeper and torture him first, but the eldest princess..." Zheng Liangcai said while carefully observing Shi Junhe's face. As for his face, when he saw a slight displeasure on Shi Junhe's face, he immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Shi Junhe did not lose his temper, and his attitude towards Zheng Liangcai was very gentle, "Have you visited your mother before?"
Zheng Liangcai nodded quickly, "But the eldest princess did not hand the person over to the official. I'm afraid the princess doesn't trust the official. I wonder if I can ask the Duke to go and tell the princess, maybe..."
If Mo Shujun looks down on him, she won't even consider her own son's words, right
Zheng Liangcai thought about the problem beautifully.
However, Shi Junhe pursed his lips and shook his head, "Sorry, there's nothing I can do about it."
"What?" Zheng Liangcai didn't believe it. He always felt that Shi Junhe was lying to him, but Shi Junhe was older than him and had a higher status than him.
No matter how much grievance Zheng Liangcai felt, he had to hold it in first. He also had to explain to Shi Junhe the necessity of "torturing Zeng Caiwang" and ask Shi Junhe to cooperate.
After speaking, my tone became irritable unconsciously, and some words were not so pleasant to my ears.
Shi Junhe was not angry. After calmly listening to Zheng Liangcai's 'eloquent talk', he still shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid Zheng Fuyin will have to change his mind to investigate this matter."
Zheng Liangcai: "..."
He stared at Shi Junhe speechlessly, with extremely complicated emotions.
To say that Shi Junhe was putting on official airs and to ignore him was definitely unjustifiable. From the beginning to the end, Shi Junhe's attitude was gentle and polite, without any condescension. But to say that Shi Junhe cooperated in handling the case, he spent almost half of his time here. At this time, the other party didn't give him an accurate word, and finally told him to "change his mind"
Zheng Fuyin expressed that he was very upset, but there was nothing he could do about Shi Junhe.
After thinking about it, Zheng Liang decided to take a serious move and asked in a hoarse voice: "Does the Duke really intend to ignore this matter?"
Shi Junhe was silent for a longer time, then shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "If Zheng Fuyin really has no choice, just do your best, and your Majesty will definitely not embarrass you."
With this guarantee, even if Zheng Liangcai doesn't find anything in the future, the 'Sufferer' will protect him in front of Mo Xiangbin so that he has no worries.
Logically speaking, Zheng Liangcai should be very happy after hearing this, but at this time, the strange feeling in his heart was even stronger.
He wanted to say something else, but Shi Junhe waved his hand and said directly, without giving him a chance to speak: "Okay, it's getting late now, so I won't disturb Zheng Fuyin's investigation!"
Zheng Liangcai: "..."
The sufferer is not in a hurry, and it is not easy for him, an outsider, to say anything.
Zheng Liangcai came tremblingly and left dejectedly.
Shi Jun and Ye were not relaxed. As soon as Zheng Liang left, Mo Shujun sent someone to invite him to Shou'an Hall to discuss Shi Lei's reburial.
Shi Junhe went there, but he didn't understand Mo Shujun's intention, "Now that my father's bones have not been recovered, how will they be buried?"
"Is it possible that Yunyang's coffin was exposed to the outside and ignored?" Mo Shujun's voice was stern and bone-piercing, pressing: "How can you bear to let Yunyang's death be unstable?"
Shi Junhe: "...What can mother do?"
Mo Shujun's expression softened slightly and she said: "I think we should choose another auspicious day, choose a set of clothes that Yunyang wore most during his lifetime, and bury him again!"
It's like setting up a tomb for Shi Lei.
Shi Junhe's eyes flashed, but he quickly suppressed all his emotions. His expression remained as usual and he asked calmly: "What should I do with my father's bones?"
Mo Shujun added: "The case needs to be investigated, and Yunyang's bones also need to be found, but the reburial cannot be delayed. And there is no conflict between the two. We can do it at the same time."
She said it matter-of-factly, as if she didn't realize how ridiculous it was to be buried in a cenotaph for the second time.
Shi Jun and Ye didn't mention it, but only asked: "If you bury your father now, what will happen when your father's bones are found in the future?"
If you are buried three times in a mausoleum, you will really feel uneasy even after death, and the unrest will be three times greater.
But Mo Shujun said calmly: "I'm not dead yet! When Yunyang's bones are recovered in the future, he can be buried with me."
Shi Junhe finally understood.
Why did Mo Shujun change her attitude that was almost hysterical because Shi Lei's bones disappeared, and became calm and calm? It turned out that she was planning to be buried with Shi Lei!
But then he thought again, and Shi Junhe felt something was wrong again.
How could Mo Shujun be so sure that they would be able to recover Shi Lei's bones
Shi Junhe looked at Mo Shujun inquiringly and spoke slowly: "The child feels that this matter is inappropriate. Now he hastily buried his father without even catching the murderer. It seems that his father has been given peace early, but in fact he has not even done the most basic things. I didn’t even give the explanation to my father.”
"Okay, I have already decided on this matter. I just want to inform you so you don't need to worry anymore." Mo Shujun made a strong decision again, without referring to Shi Junhe's opinion.
When Shi Junhe wanted to speak again, Mo Shujun said again: "I heard that you have been busy preparing a dowry for Baoning recently?"
Shi Junhe's expression paused, but he quickly responded nonchalantly: "Next month is her and Chi'er's wedding, and some things always have to be prepared according to specifications."
After a pause, he seemed not to notice Mo Shujun's thoughts at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, now the family treasury is sufficient, enough to prepare a dowry for Baoning, plus Huiniang's body, and No additional help is needed from you.”
He said this as if Mo Shujun asked him this because he was worried that Shi Baoning's dowry was not enough and wanted to contribute some money, which made Mo Shujun's original ugly thoughts suddenly exposed.
She paused for a long time before the stiffness on her face eased. She didn't give Shi Jun a good look yet, so she just said lightly: "Although the dowry can be prepared by the family treasury when a lady gets married, you will have to go with the two of you soon. A younger brother has separated his family, and if he uses the family treasury to support himself, I'm afraid he will be criticized if word spreads about it, right?"
"Then what does mother think?" Shi Junhe asked respectfully.
