Chapter 333: Digging out graves

Views:

The three young men stood in the courtroom with smiles on their faces. Magistrate Qiao was naturally overjoyed. You must know that these three people are Mr. Qiao's saviors. At this time, they helped the new magistrate Qiao Yu solve such a case. How could Qiao Yu not be happy

Then Li Deshan looked at the short young man and said squeakingly: "Thank you, sir, for returning the cow money. This bet..." The short gentleman laughed loudly: "The purpose of the bet is to provoke you beforehand! I don't want to provoke you. , why are you willing to sell the cow?" After saying this, everyone laughed.

When a case is heard in court, the common people will naturally crowd outside the lobby door to watch the excitement. When a poor scholar named Yu saw the last three young men, he was astonished. He knew at a glance that he was an expert from outside the world, and he admired him very much.

Yu Xiucai has been dreaming of high school. He was thinking about how he would serve the country once he won the imperial examination in the future, so he paid great attention to this aspect. He also secretly figured out how to be a county magistrate and how to solve cases.

Of course, the Four Books and Five Classics are also studied daily. When I was watching the excitement today and saw the short fortune teller, I couldn't help but be shocked. This person must be knowledgeable and easy to understand when setting up a situation. I have been a scholar for many years and have made no progress, so why not get to know this person! Therefore, I have been observing secretly, hoping to find an opportunity to get to know these three people. He didn't want these three people to go drinking with the magistrate, so he watched them from a distance. It wasn't until midnight that the party broke up and the three of them left, and Yu Xiucai followed them quietly.

The young man carrying the sword walked a short distance away. When he saw no one else around, he stopped and asked without looking back, "Brother, what's the matter?" The scholar already knew that the three of them were extraordinary people, so he bowed and said: "The young man admires three great talents..." As soon as he said half a sentence, the short young man waved his hand to interrupt him: "Stop talking, go home and see your mother. It's late. I’m afraid it won’t work!”

Yu Xiucai was shocked! He knew the abilities of the three of them very well, so he ran home stumblingly in the dark without saying anything. When I got home, I saw my mother coughing violently, and her face was already red from holding it in. If it were a little later, I might not be able to breathe and pass away.

The scholar hurriedly stepped forward to beat his mother's back and caress her chest. After a while, she returned to normal. I heard a voice outside: "Here, boil some hot water." Following the voice, the door curtain was raised, and three young people came floating in. The scholar rushed to see the gift. Yu Xiucai's mother hurriedly asked: "Where are the guests?" Yu Xiucai hurriedly said to his mother: "These three are the most famous immortal masters in the world! I met him by chance recently..." Among the three, The young man holding the sword took out a pill of elixir and handed it to the scholar, asking him to take it for the old man. Yu Xiucai hurriedly boiled water. After the water boiled, he served his wife and took the elixir.

The young man carrying the sword said to the scholar: "You go to bed with the old man, and I will wait for you in the study."

After the scholar put his wife to bed, he went to the study to make tea and entertain the three of them. After tea, the scholar bowed: "Young student has been studying for a long time and has not been able to get results. I would like to ask three immortal masters to see what the problem is!" The young man carrying the sword laughed and said, "Those who get Jinshi are the ones in the dark." The gods are in control of it. You have failed to honor my mother, so you have not made any progress for a long time."

The scholar trembled and said: "I say hello morning and evening, young man. I never dare to slack off for three meals and tea. I don't know what I did wrong, so I asked the immortal master to point me out!" The young man carrying the sword laughed and said: "I am poor and serve my relatives, and I am unjust. , It is great to have no heirs. There are three great unfilial piety, and you have committed two. Since you have not married now, you will not have any heirs. This is unfilial. The family is poor and has no money to treat the elderly, and the second is unfilial. When the gods look at you, Mother, of course you are unfilial, what else can you say?" The scholar bowed, and the young man was barely surviving on the little family property left by his father. He really had no money!

The dwarf young man looked Yu Xiucai up and down, and then said: "I will show you a clear path. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your courage! From here, there is Zaolin Slope a few miles to the north. There is a new path there. A grave was dug, which is the grave of Miss Huang, the daughter of Mr. Huang from the East Village. There are many artifacts in it. If you dig this tomb and get one, you can sell it to your mother for medical treatment!" The scholar trembled after hearing this! Before they could say anything, the three of them stood up and turned around and left.

Even if the scholar fails, he will still be a scholar, and he can memorize the laws well. The scholar thought: "According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who digs a grave and opens a coffin will be hanged! This is an act of losing one's head. How could it be done by a scholar like me?!" But then he thought, otherwise my mother's illness would not be cured. If my mother dies of illness, my life may be hopeless. Besides, the trap set by the three immortal masters during the day was to rob the tomb, so the tomb robbers would have good luck. Since they were guided by the immortal masters, they could naturally protect me! Not to be missed! Just do it!

It was already late at night, so it was a good time. I looked up at the night sky, there was no moon. It can be said to be a great opportunity made in heaven!

Yu Xiucai made up his mind, took out the crowbar, spade and pickaxe, grabbed a lantern and rushed to the cemetery. When I got to the cemetery, I hung the lantern on the tree and started using the shovel!

When civilians are buried, they are often not buried very deeply. Because the soil in this area was dug deep, water would appear in the grave pit, which caused the coffin to decay quickly. Therefore, in the past, people often used plows to cut coffin lids for graveyards without cultivating the land. The coffin lid was only slightly lower than the ground, and there was a pile of soil above it. Even so, it was the scholar who was useless. The scholar was out of breath when he dug up the tomb and pried open the coffin lid. Holding the lantern in one hand, he dug into the coffin with the other. It took a long time to get a piece of jade out of it. Before he could take a closer look at it, he heard a loud shout behind him, which frightened the scholar so much that he dropped the lantern and ran away!

After all, digging graves consumes a lot of energy, and the scholar is not good at running, so he was caught after running a few steps.

It turned out that the person who captured him was the tombkeeper hired by the Huang family. Ms. Huang is unmarried and cannot enter the ancestral grave according to local burial customs. She can only find another cemetery for burial. So there is only Miss Huang’s solitary grave here. As for the tomb-keepers, they haven't had time to build a shanty here yet, so they only need Mr. Huang's permission to inspect it at night. I just wait until the shack is built and then stay here to take care of me! The tomb-keepers were two gamblers. They gambled until late at night, and then they remembered to visit the tomb. Looking from a distance, I saw a lantern swinging in the cemetery, so I quietly approached and caught it!

Now the two escorted the scholar to see Huang Yuanwai. Huang Yuanwai woke up in the middle of the night and was very angry when he heard that the young lady's tomb had been stolen. He called a few guys and wanted to send the scholar to the officials for investigation. The housekeeper came up with an idea and said: "Send him here directly. If he denies that we arrested him for no reason, it would be inappropriate to have no evidence or certificate. Escorting him to the official office happened to be passing near the lady's grave. It would be better to use all the tools for committing the crime." And captured it. At the same time, we also led people to restore the lady's grave, but the lady is still exposed!"

Unexpectedly, no one dared to go near the cemetery. This is the orphan girl's grave! Everyone is afraid of something bad happening! Huang Yuanwai scolded the slaves for being cowardly, took the lead, picked up a lantern and walked towards the cemetery. The minions had no choice but to follow.

As we got closer, we saw a faint light shining in front of the lady's tomb. Looking carefully, we saw three lights flickering on and off. Huang Yuanwai was cruel and said in his heart: "My daughter will not harm me!" He walked over holding a lantern. When I got closer, I saw three people sitting on a big stone in front of the tomb, all dressed in novel costumes. One is brave and dashing, one is a scholar with a sword behind his back, and there is a dwarf. All three of them were holding something in their hands and slurping something in their mouths from time to time. The faint light spots came from the mouths of the three people.

Huang Yuanwai immediately asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Before the three of them could say anything, the scholar ran forward, knelt down and shouted, "Master Immortal, save me!" The dwarf pointed at Huang Yuanwai and said Pointing at the coffin, Huang Yuanwai noticed that his daughter was half-sitting in the coffin and felt her breath with her hand. She was actually breathing. She was alive!

Yuan Wai hurriedly ordered someone to help the young lady out, then knelt down and said, "Thank you to the three immortals for saving this little girl's life!" The three people didn't say much. The short man pointed at the scholar and said, "Untie him!" Yuan Wai Huang hurriedly ordered someone to help him out! Open the scholar. The dwarf pointed at the scholar with his hand and said, "Take the young lady on your back and return to the Huang Mansion."

Along the way, a family member secretly told the team members that these three people were the legendary "Three Wonders of the End". The three of them are all powerful immortal masters who can eliminate violence and bring peace to good people. Huang Yuanwai also nodded and said, "I've heard of them a long time ago, but I've never met them."

Everyone returned to the Huang Mansion together and sent the young lady to the boudoir to lie down. The whole family was surprised and happy. Huang Yuanwai quickly ordered someone to make tea. I saw the young man carrying the sword pointing with his hand and saying hello: "Huang Yuanwai, come here and take a step to talk." Huang Yuanwai and the scholar hurried over and were respectful.
