"Didn't the court say that all that was lost was just some coins?" General Wei Qing said doubtfully.
The tomb of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty is called Ba Mausoleum.
Ba Ling.
The name seems quite domineering, but in the Han Dynasty, it was actually the most cunning emperor's tomb.
Have no idea.
Who made Emperor Hanwen's life miserable?
It is said that the funerary objects inside are all clay pots and the like, with very few gold and silver treasures inside. Even the pottery is one-third smaller than the pottery in normal tombs.
Speaking of which.
I have to mention one thing.
That is the tombs of emperors of the Han Dynasty, and basically all of them have been robbed.
Generally, emperors' tombs were robbed only after this dynasty. Only the Han Dynasty was different. In this dynasty, the emperor's tombs had been stolen one after another.
Someone said.
The tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, also known as Ba Ling, is the only emperor's tomb that has not been stolen.
Excuse me.
Whoever said this must be an uneducated person.
Ba Ling.
It was the first tomb of a Han Dynasty emperor that was stolen. This incident was recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records".
When Huo Guang heard the words of General Wei Qing, he immediately said: "Uncle, the court must have announced this to the outside world. Only some coins were lost."
“But I’m afraid only a very small number of people know what was actually lost.”
"After all, this matter involves the royal family, so it is naturally impossible to make it public."
When Wei Qing heard this, he immediately glared at his eldest son Wei and his wife, and asked, "You treacherous son, how did you get these burial objects?"
Nine orifices jade plug.
It was a burial object that only the princes of the Han Dynasty could enjoy after their death.
Han Dynasty.
Mostly Hetian jade.
There are also different types of Hetian jade, among which ruby and topaz are the most precious.
Because Hetian jade red jade is extremely rare, it is difficult to create a complete set of nine-aperture jade plugs. Therefore, the best nine-aperture jade plugs can only be made from topaz.
But topaz is so precious.
The entire set of nine-aperture jade plugs can already show the dignity of the owner of the tomb. If it is still made of topaz, then there is no doubt that in the Han Dynasty, only the emperor was buried with such treatment.
Now.
The wooden box placed in front of the general contained a nine-aperture jade plug made of topaz.
It would be strange if the general couldn't see any problems.
However, Mr. Wei didn't know that he was in danger at this time. He was tied to a chair and still muttered: "Father, didn't you agree a few days ago? After the child has finished the crowning ceremony, he is already an adult. You will be a grown-up in the future." Won't you care about me anymore?"
"How can you say this is nothing?"
"You have to interfere in whatever I do!"
Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Wei were unrepentant, Wei Qing's eyes were about to burst. He punched up and knocked Mr. and Mrs. Wei to the ground.
But Wei Qing was still not relieved at this time.
He directly grabbed the knife from Huo Guang's hand and walked towards the Wei couple who fell on the ground.
at this time.
Wei Qing's eyes showed murderous intent, and he said angrily: "You are such a traitor, you still don't know how to repent. Don't you even know what catastrophic disaster you have caused?"
"We in the Wei family are afraid that we will be implicated by you!"
"Since I am going to be killed by your rebellious son, as a father, it is better to take action myself. I will take your life today and confess my punishment to His Majesty. No matter what, my Wei family can still be preserved."
If what Mr. Wei bought in this wooden box is really related to the theft of Ba Ling.
That's not because the Wei family is going to be in trouble.
Even Huo Guang's family will be implicated in this.
even.
The empress, Wei Zifu, and the prince Liu Zhi were all afraid of disaster.
The scariest.
Not only His Majesty's anger, but also all the nobles in Chang'an City will have a happy attitude towards this matter.
The Wei and Huo families were too prominent in Chang'an City.
This kind of family standing on the cusp of the storm is prominent, but it cannot be careless in the slightest.
Because every step forward will be like walking on thin ice.
Mr. Wei was tied up by Huo Guang and could not move at all. When he saw his father walking towards him with a knife, he was really scared at this moment.
He immediately burst into tears and said, "Father, I know I was wrong. Father, please forgive me, I said, I said it's not okay!"
"These things were all bought from a ranger."
"The knight also said that he saw that I was the Marquis of Yichun and that I was generous, so he sold me cheaply. To ordinary people, he wouldn't sell me!"
"I drank more wine at that time. I heard he said it was topaz, so I bought it directly."
"Father, I didn't expect so much!"
"The Ba Ling thing really has nothing to do with the child."
At this moment, Mr. Wei explained his words honestly.
But the more General Wei Qing listened, the angrier he became.
He even took the Huanshou sword directly from Huo Guang's hand, raised it high, and cursed: "You are a traitor, how can a good thing like Huang Yu be bought and sold cheaply if it is not dirt?"
"I told you to use your brain more often, but you are as stupid as a pig."
"I'm so mad, so mad at me."
The general, who was usually gentle and elegant, now burst out with an inexplicable anger, which was particularly infiltrating.
And Mr. Wei has never seen his father, the general, look like this.
He immediately panicked, his face was covered with snot and tears, and he begged to Huo Guang: "Old Biao, old Biao, please speak! You said it, and you won't ignore death."
"We are cousins who grew up playing together!"
"Help me!"
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Wei felt that if he did not seek help from Huo Guang, his father, the general, might really kill him.
But how could he know.
If the general really wanted to kill him, the raised sword would have struck him down long ago.
How can you give him a chance to speak?
As the saying goes, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds.
How could he kill his son when he was usually gentle and polite?
after all.
Not everyone can do what Jin Rixi did.
Huo Guang saw Mr. and Mrs. Wei give in and honestly told the origin of the Nine-Aperture Jade plug, and immediately stopped the general for him.
Wei Qing looked at Huo Guang and said, "This traitor is so impudent. Huo Guang, don't stop my uncle from teaching him a lesson!"
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "Uncle, you have taught him so many times since he was a child. Do you still need this lesson?"
Wei Qing felt helpless when he heard this.
He is such a big boy, and he has gotten into countless troubles since he was little. Sometimes, they would beat him until his skin and flesh were raw and his buttocks were bruised.
But once he can get out of bed, he will cause trouble for him again.
Have no idea.
This is his child, no matter what he does, it's useless.
The more Wei Qing thought about it, the angrier he became, and said: "Then I will kill him, and it will save me from getting into trouble every day. Otherwise, sooner or later, my great general's palace will be defeated by him."
Wei Qing is right.
In the future, the General's Mansion will really be defeated by the Yichun Houwei and his wife.
but.
That's all for the future.
When Huo Guang looked at General Wei Qing, he knew without even guessing that his uncle would not kill his eldest son Wei and his wife.
It was only now that I was so angry that I said such words.
It seems.
The only people who can make the general angry are the Wei and his wife.
Huo Guang did not reveal this, but just followed the general's words and said, "Uncle, even if you kill Mr. and Mrs. Wei now, it won't help."
"Now the imperial court has handed over the matter of the theft of Ba Ling to Zhang Tang, the censor."
"You know Mr. Zhang's abilities."
"He was born as a swordsman and a pen official, and he is good at serving as a court official."
"As long as the person who committed the theft is found, the matter will be unstoppable. Mr. Zhang will definitely find the source of the culprit and find Mr. Wei."
"It's really that time."
"Mr. Wei might be regarded as the mastermind in this matter. That's just yellow mud falling off your crotch. If it's not shit, it's shit."
After hearing what Huo Guang said, the general did not speak.
But Mr. Wei was lying on the ground, shaking his head, trying his best to nod in agreement, and said, "That's right, father, look at what my cousin said!"
However, as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Wei spoke.
As if he had eaten explosives, the general pointed the knife at the Wei couple angrily and yelled: "Shut up, you have no right to speak!"
Mr. Wei could only shut his mouth angrily.
He was really afraid of the general's father, so in anger, he chopped him into pieces with a knife.
The general is usually gentle and gentle, this is true.
But he is a general after all, someone who has actually been on the battlefield and killed countless enemies.
One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.
When he gets angry, the evil spirit emanating from his back is enough to make people feel frightened.
After Mr. and Mrs. Wei shut up.
General Wei Qing looked at Huo Guang and said, "Huo Guang, how do you think we should deal with this matter for the present?"
After hearing the general's question, Huo Guang took the initiative and said: "Generally, normal things are turned into big things and small things."
"But what happened with Ba Ling is not an ordinary matter!"
"If it is really exposed, even killing Uncle Wei will not help. Later, the Wei and Huo families will be implicated, and it is possible that the three clans will be implicated."
"This matter cannot be trivialized."
"There is only one way to solve it - report this matter to Mr. Zhang!"
After hearing Huo Guang's words, Mr. and Mrs. Wei, who had shut up, immediately began to curse and said, "Old cousin, are you saving me or harming me? The imperial censor is the one who accepts this matter."
"You reported him?"
"Wouldn't that make me throw myself into a trap?"
Hearing this, General Wei Qing kicked this big boy in the face and cursed: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here!"
After being kicked.
Mr. Wei, who was in pain, could only sob.
Huo Guang ignored him and continued to explain to General Wei Qing: "Uncle, don't be anxious, listen to me in detail."
"At that time, we will go find Mr. Zhang. He has just taken over the case and should not have a clue yet."
"We told him that we found suspicious individuals buying and selling Ba Ling's filth."
"So I designed it to let the Marquis of Yichun come in contact. Now that the stolen goods are in hand and all the witnesses and evidence are there, all I need is Mr. Zhang to take action to capture those evil tomb robbers."
"so."
"Not only will our Wei and Huo families not be implicated in what the Marquis of Yichun did, we will even take credit for solving the case!"
Hear this.
Mr. and Mrs. Wei, who was lying on the ground, immediately spoke again: "So, I have made meritorious service?"
The general immediately stared at the Wei couple again, so frightened that he did not dare to speak.
at this time.
Wei Qing looked at Huo Guang again and asked, "Is this really okay?"
Huo Guang nodded and said, "It should be possible. It's better to try than to wait for death."
Hear Huo Guang's words.
Wei Qing thought about it for a while, and finally sighed and said: "That's all, for this traitor, I will go find Mr. Zhang."
When Huo Guang heard this, he quickly said: "Uncle, it's not appropriate for you to go to this matter. The Grand Sima is higher than the Imperial Censor, so it's not for you to talk about it!"
"This matter."
"It's better for me to tell you!"
After hearing Huo Guang's words, General Wei Qing could only sigh and said, "Huo Guang, this rebellious uncle has really caused trouble for you."
Finished.
Huo Guang shook his head and said: "Wei and Huo families are both prosperous and destructive."
"We're just part of the family."
"Why bother talking about the two families?"
"In this case, I will go to the Yushi Mansion to find Mr. Zhang now. By the way, uncle, please arrange for someone to pack up the things here later and take away all the valuables."
"Wait a minute, I may have to bring Mr. Zhang over."
After Huo Guang finished speaking, he left for the Censor's Mansion.
Except for the court meeting.
The censor and other officials, including the censor doctor, must be in the censor's mansion during normal work.
In the past, every time Huo Guang went to see Mr. Zhang, it was always on Mr. Zhang's days off and during meal time.
Chang'an City is not big.
Naturally, Mr. Zhang went home to eat. After eating, he went back to the Censor's Mansion to work.
Now this time.
It is neither a day off for officials nor a meal time. This soup naturally works in the Yushi Mansion.
Arrive in front of the Censor's Mansion.
Huo Guang took a look at this rather impressive imperial office. Compared with the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not much inferior.
Immediately.
Huo Guang was about to walk in when he saw the guard of the Censor's Mansion stopping him and saying, "Stop, this is the Censor's Mansion. Only the Censor's officials can enter. What do you do?"
Hearing this, Huo Guang said quickly: "I am the Marquis of Bolu, personally consecrated by Your Majesty, and so is Huo Guang. If you have anything to do, please come to Dr. Zhang Tang!"
I heard Huo Guang introduce himself as the Marquis of Bolu.
The guy's attitude immediately changed, and he greeted him with a smile: "Oh, it turns out to be Marquis Bolu."
"But according to the regulations of the Yushi Mansion, only the Yushi officials can enter and leave. You..."
"We can't break the rules and let you in without permission."
Hearing this, Huo Guang immediately understood what was going on, and immediately took out some coins from his pocket, stuffed them into the other party's hands, and said: "Excuse me, please go and speak to the imperial censor on behalf of me, and say that Marquis Bolu has nothing to do with Ba." Regarding the case of Ling coins being stolen, please tell me if you have anything to tell me!"
Received benefits.
The guard immediately smiled even more and said quickly: "Okay, okay, Marquis Bolu, wait a moment, I will go and report to Marquis Bolu."
The words fell.
He then went to inform Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, about the matter.
Soon.
I saw this boy running out quickly and said, "Marquis Bolu, please come in. Zhang Yushi agrees to see you."
Hear the words.
Huo Guang smiled and said, "Please lead the way."
"Okay, okay, I'll show you the way." The guard then led Huo Guang to Zhang Tang's office.
After meeting Zhang Tang.
Huo Guang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, have you been well in the past year?"
Zhang Tang smiled softly and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty, I am in good health. Marquis Bolu has not talked to me this year. I came here today. It shouldn't be about the Ba Ling case. I should have something to do, right?"
Hear the words.
Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Zhang is joking, so it must be related to the Ba Ling case."
"We, the Wei and Huo families, are extremely distinguished and distinguished, and we are both popular people in front of His Majesty."
"General Wei and my brother, General Hussar, are both Grand Sima."
"If something really happened, why bother Mr. Zhang to take action?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang stroked his goatee and said with a contemptuous smile: "Really? I have nothing to do with the general's son trading dirty goods in this Le Restaurant!"
Hear the words.
Huo Guang was suddenly startled and his eyes widened.
