"Government? Where?"

Ye Shaoyang stopped, looking at the long city wall in front of him, suddenly a very familiar feeling came to his heart, Ye Shaoyang stopped suddenly, and said: "Is there a lake behind this city wall?"

"That's right, Xuanwu Lake, the officials haven't forgotten everything." Bi Qing was very happy.

Dare to love... Yingtianfu is Nanjing!

Chapter 2697 Chapter 2698 Grave Digging 1

Isn't he in Chengde? Why did he come back to Nanjing after traveling once?

It is really impossible to drink tea in the hall. At this time, an old man walked in. He looked about sixty years old, wearing a black hat and a brown striped satin gown, with a serious expression. When he saw Ye Shaoyang, he was completely different from others. The servant nodded and bowed like that, but bowed slightly and said, "Master, you are awake."

Miao Er was packing up the dishes and whispered in Ye Shaoyang's ear, "This is Butler Wu."

Ye Shaoyang got up to greet him and asked him to sit down.

Steward Wu thanked him, then sat down beside him, looked Ye Shaoyang up and down, and said, "Master, is your mind clear?"

"I can't remember many things, but everything else is fine."

Butler Wu frowned, and said, "Do you still remember those Confucian classics?"

Ye Shaoyang shook his head dumbly.

Butler Wu sighed, and said: "Young master, it's not the old slave who is talking about you, you are in your early twenties, you have to get a good name on your body, so that you can shine on your family..."

Ye Shaoyang heard him say a lot of persuasive words, but he didn't know how to refute them, so he had to be perfunctory.

After Wu Butler said something, he shook his head helplessly, took out a small book from his sleeve, and handed it to Ye Shaoyang, "This is the amount of rent and labor expenses for this month, young master, let's have a look."

Ye Shaoyang opened it and glanced at it, then threw it to him and said, "It's up to you to decide."

Butler Wu cupped his hands, "I'm just making decisions for the young master."

"Well, give me some money, I'll go shopping in the street this afternoon." Ye Shaoyang was worried that he didn't have any money on him, when he happened to be here, so he asked for it.

"How much does the young master need?"

"Whatever, I'll just buy something."

Steward Wu took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve, and put them on the table.

Butler Wu tried to persuade him with the same cliché, and then he left.

Ye Shaoyang took the silver, came to the street by himself, found the so-called West Street, walked around the street, and found the coffin shop that Biqing was talking about. There was no signboard, but there were a few wreaths and paper-wrapped horse ancient times at the door. Funerals are all like this, they are named unlucky, and they are usually placed at the door, so you can tell what they are doing at a glance.

But the coffin shop was not open. Ye Shaoyang walked closer and saw that the wreaths and paper horses were all torn, and the door panels were covered with dust. It looked like it hadn’t been opened for a long time. He was a little curious, and there happened to be a steamed bun shop next to it, and the owner was steaming steamed buns. Ye Shaoyang went over to inquire.

"Their house opened yesterday, and the boss is busy today."

Unfortunately, Ye Shaoyang asked if there was a coffin shop nearby, and he said he didn't know. Ye Shaoyang wandered around the street, bought a few sesame seed cakes, and they tasted pretty good. When he wandered home, Biqing had already woken up, and said it was a coffin shop. They packed up the carriage and went back to the grave together.

Guagua also wanted to go to the countryside, so he deliberately asked his mother for permission, and then cheerfully got into Ye Shaoyang's carriage.

Biqing also has a very good relationship with Guagua, playing with him all the way, Guagua also happily quarreled with her, and suddenly said, "Auntie, when will you and uncle give me a brother?"

Biqing blushed, and smiled shyly at Ye Shaoyang: "I have to ask your uncle about this..."

Ye Shaoyang was speechless.

The so-called countryside is actually not far away. After leaving the city, it took less than an hour to arrive. The carriage stopped in front of a hill. This is the ancestral tomb of the "Yang family".

Ye Shaoyang is actually very curious, where did these ancestral graves come from, maybe there is really some kind of Yang Shaoye, and he is his identity, Biqing and Guagua are also the same, they are all outsiders, replacing the original characters, As for what the members of this family did before, Ye Shaoyang didn't know.

The three of Ye Shaoyang and his party went up the mountain, came to the cemetery, and found the grave of "parents". Ye Shaoyang looked at the names on the tombstone, and they were completely unfamiliar.

Several servants placed offerings in front of the tombstone, and three sticks of incense were lit, and Ye Shaoyang and the others began to burn paper.

After finishing, Ye Shaoyang took two servants with shovels and started to dig the grave.All of this was arranged by Biqing. Ye Shaoyang felt that it should be a local custom, and he cooperated very well. When cultivating the soil, Ye Shaoyang randomly pulled out a few grasses on the grave, weaved them together, burned them in front of the grave, and said spells and the names of the dead.

Chapter 2698 Chapter 2699 Grave Digging 2

This is a very simple spell. If the deceased has been reincarnated, the grave grass will emit yellow smoke, if the deceased is in the Yin Division, the smoke will be blue, and if the deceased has any grievances, black smoke will emit.

In fact, Ye Shaoyang just tried it casually, and the result...a very unexpected result: the smoke is very light, but the smoke that comes out is normal.

Of course, it can't be that the spell failed, such a simple spell, and when performing the spell, he clearly felt the generation of spiritual power, which interacted with the Grave Grass... Ye Shaoyang thought of a certain possibility.

While the servants were cultivating the soil, he picked a few more weeds from the grave and tried again, but the result was still the same.

Ye Shaoyang had a little idea in his mind, and waited calmly until the end of the soil cultivation. When Biqing called him back, he told Biqing that he wanted to stay here for one night and go back tomorrow.

"Stay here for one night? How can that be, you will get sick." Bi Qing disagreed.

"Just leave me the blanket in the carriage. I have something to tell my parents, and I want to stay here with them for a night. It's okay." He said: "How is this possible? At the time when the old lady was buried, I carried the coffin. Later, when the old lady passed away, I also helped to bury her together..."

When he walked to the grave, he saw the empty pit dug by Ye Shaoyang, so he swallowed back the words that followed.The other was also stunned, and sat down on the ground, and said in a voiceless voice: "Who the hell stole our coffin!"

Ye Shaoyang looked at them. They saw that one was over 50 and the other was over 40. Biqing said before that both of them were old people in the family, and they were brought over from the old house.

Suddenly my heart moved, and I asked: "When my parents passed away, were you all there when they were buried?"

The two looked at each other, "Master, have you forgotten?"

Ye Shaoyang climbed out of the pit, sat on the ground, folded his arms, looked at the two people, and said, "Who would steal the coffin? Even if it is a tomb robber, it is impossible to steal the corpse and the coffin together?"

The two looked at each other, and walked around the pit a few times, really unable to figure out what was going on.

Although the pit is small, it is enough to prove the situation. After all, the position of the coffin is particular, it must be directly under the grave bag, and it is impossible to bury it elsewhere.

Ye Shaoyang asked some details about the burial at that time, and the two of them exchanged fluently, and it was impossible to lie. Ye Shaoyang jumped down into the pit again, and checked around. Judging from the surrounding soil, there was no trace of burial once the soil was dug out Refilling, within a few decades, there will be a significant difference.This discovery confuses Ye Shaoyang.

Could it be that the location of the tomb was wrong?

This is basically impossible, there is a stele in front of the grave, engraved with the name of the deceased, the date of birth and death, and the stele will be erected on the day of the burial, it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake, but there is no coffin under the grave, Ye Shaoyang feels very strange .

Ye Shaoyang couldn't explain this question, so he had no choice but to jump out of the pit and sit on the edge of the grave to think hard.The two servants also lost their minds, standing aside and staring. They always thought that the coffin was stolen, because they had participated in the burial at the beginning, and they firmly believed that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the place.

"Are there any other graves around here?"

"There are many tombs on the east mountain, all of which are ancestral tombs from the nearby villages." The old servant said.

Ye Shaoyang grabbed the shovel from the ground and asked them to take him there.

The two of them didn't know what he was going to do, so they could only follow obediently. After going down the mountain, they came to the opposite mountain and saw many graves on the way.Ye Shaoyang searched for a long time, found a new grave in a relatively hidden location, and asked the two to help him dig it together.
