The clan leader met Ma Ximing's gaze, and his heart trembled. He hurriedly followed him.

"Master Ma, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ma Ximing turned his head to glance at the patriarch, shook his head and sighed.

Each of them is quite courageous and they conceal everything that should and shouldn't be concealed.

The clan leader became even more panicked. Although he was not in the capital, he still knew Ma Ximing's abilities.

He had come into contact with Ma Ximing during the various ancestor worship ceremonies every year. He was a man of real ability.

"Master Ma."

The clan leader came close to Ma Ximing and said humbly, "Master Ma, please point out a clear path for my family, please!"

Ma Ximing paused for a moment, glanced left and right, and then continued walking forward.

"I don't know anything!"

Ma Ximing left this sentence without any further explanation.

The patriarch stopped and looked at the busy Ma Ximing with a frown on his face.

After a moment, the patriarch came to his senses and immediately explained everything to every member of the family.

When the time came, after Emperor Wu of Liang took his seat and washed, Ma Ximing handed the lit incense to Emperor Wu of Liang.

But he didn't dare let Emperor Wu of Liang light the incense himself, so he specially found a person with good fortune to help light the incense. After the incense was lit, he handed it to Emperor Wu of Liang for worship to dispel the anger of his ancestors.

The process of lighting incense and worshiping went smoothly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After Emperor Wu of Liang lit the incense, he finally felt relieved.

Then Emperor Wu of Liang picked up the wine jug, poured the wine into the wine glass, and placed it on the altar.

"Clang~"

As soon as Emperor Wu of Liang put the wine glass on the table and took his hand off the glass, the glass fell over and all the wine spilled.

He fell so quickly and cleanly that Emperor Wu of Liang had no chance to rescue him.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the overturned wine glass and his hands trembled with anger.

He felt as if he was trapped in an inescapable nightmare, and nothing was going his way.

The wine glass was placed on the altar in good condition, and it suddenly fell over without even a breeze...

The kneeling crowd suddenly paused and quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to have seen this scene.

This was not the first time that the ministers had experienced such a dramatic scene, and they were able to withstand it.

When the gravekeeper family saw this scene, they drooped their eyelids in horror and prayed silently that nothing more could happen.

Our ancestors didn't drink alcohol, so that means... hey...

Emperor Wu of Liang took two breaths, picked up the wine glass and continued to pour wine, then carefully placed the glass on the altar again.

He put the wine glass down and even waited for a moment with his hand beside the glass.

Seeing that the wine glass was steady, Emperor Wu of Liang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand.

"Clang~"

The wine glass fell down again without warning.

The ministers, who were already experienced, knelt on the ground tightly. As expected, once there was a mistake, there would be a second one...

Only the people of the gravekeeper's family were frightened so much that their pupils trembled. They were very panicked when they thought of the empty tomb.

The coffins of their ancestors were all pieced together by them, so the materials were naturally not as good as those used by their ancestors, so it was normal for the ancestors to be angry...

Emperor Wu of Liang gritted his teeth and picked up the wine glass, and the veins on his hand bulged as he held the glass.

He wanted to crush the wine glass in his hand.

Ma Ximing frowned and spoke boldly.

"Your Majesty, please enter the mausoleum."

He heard rumors in the palace that Concubine Lin predicted that the royal tomb would be robbed, which was why the ancestors were furious.

He calculated carefully in this direction and found that what Lin Taotao said was most likely correct.

Now that this accident has occurred during Emperor Wu of Liang’s ancestral worship, coupled with the reaction of the tomb keeper’s family, the tomb being robbed should be a foregone conclusion.

This group of tomb robbers was so rampant that they made all nine clans of the royal family die of poverty.

Emperor Wu of Liang gritted his teeth, put down the deformed brass wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice,

"Open the tomb!"

All the ministers looked towards the chief of the gravekeepers.

".......yes...."

The chief of the gravekeepers seemed to be frozen in place. After some mental struggle, he responded and walked towards the entrance of the mausoleum.

What is coming cannot be avoided. Anyway, they knew nothing and did not hear anything unusual.

He who does not know is not guilty.

With a "boom", the stone door at the entrance of the mausoleum slowly moved open.

Emperor Wu of Liang walked to the entrance, saluted, and then walked into the tomb accompanied by the imperial guards, Ma Ximing, and the chief of the tomb keepers.

With every step he took, Emperor Wu of Liang felt a pang in his heart and felt inexplicably panicked.

So far, no emperor has entered the mausoleum alive, which is very unlucky.

Normally, an altar would be set up in the palace or ancestral temple for worship.

If a major event occurs, they would choose an auspicious day and come to the royal cemetery to pay their respects outside.

He had never heard of any emperor entering a mausoleum and facing his ancestors directly.

Even he had to avoid the oppressive feeling brought by his ancestors.

He had no choice but to do this. Accidents kept happening during ancestor worship, so he had to meet his ancestors and apologize in person.

Emperor Wu of Liang took a deep breath, walked down the stairs in a square step, and then walked towards the main tomb chamber.

"kindness!?"

As soon as Emperor Wu of Liang stepped into the main tomb chamber, he was dumbfounded.

Where are the dragon and phoenix coffins of my father and mother?

Who could tell him how this ordinary coffin without even a single carving could have ended up in the royal mausoleum?

Not to mention that my father and mother would not use this kind of coffin, even the coffins used by the concubines would not be so bad.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of Liang thought he was dazzled.

He closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them again to look...

Upon taking a look, he discovered that all the funerary objects placed in various places in the tomb were gone.

Emperor Wu of Liang's pupils dilated instantly and he looked at the empty tomb in horror.

Who was so rampant that he could clean out the royal tombs so thoroughly? No wonder his ancestors hung around his bed every night.

Our ancestors have nothing to use, so how can they not be anxious?

This group of tomb robbers is simply trampling on the royal dignity and challenging the royal prestige.

Everyone who went down to the mausoleum with Emperor Wu of Liang was dumbfounded.

The entire mausoleum was eerily silent, and no one even dared to breathe hard.

Ma Ximing looked at the empty mausoleum, lowered his eyelids helplessly, and glanced at the chief of the gravekeepers.

Confused!

It's obvious that these coffins were found as replacements by the gravekeeper's family. The tomb robbers were not so kind as to go to the trouble of getting a replacement coffin.

If they had known that the tomb had been robbed, they should have reported it immediately instead of keeping it secret.

How long can this kind of thing be kept secret? Even if Emperor Wu of Liang did not leave the mausoleum, when he died, the next emperor would still discover it when he attended the funeral.

Others may have time to escape, but the entire family of gravekeepers have lived in the cemetery for generations and cannot leave at all.

Even if you ask them to leave, they will not go. This is their duty for generations.

The chief of the gravekeepers was so panicked that he didn't even dare to look up since he stepped into the main tomb chamber.

"what's up!"

Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly turned his head to look at the chief of the gravekeepers and shouted angrily.

"Where's the dragon and phoenix coffin? Ah!"

The clan leader's knees went weak and he knelt down in fear.

"Slave --- I don't know. There has been no unusual movement in the cemetery, so the servants have never gone down to the mausoleum to check."

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

The clan leader's face turned pale. He remembered Ma Ximing's words very clearly and knew nothing about anything.

Even though Emperor Wu of Liang was furious, he didn't dare to know.

Emperor Wu of Liang's eyes were like knives, and he wished he could stab the gravekeeper to death.

"The mausoleum was completely robbed, and you, a bunch of useless people, didn't even hear anything. What use do I have for you?"
