As an ordinary tombkeeper, He Wu's income is extremely limited. He can only get some subsistence food and a few copper coins every month. With so much gold, let alone taking it,

He has never even seen her.

He Wu felt his throat was dry, and he swallowed hard. Although his eyes were filled with greed, he did not dare to reach out and catch the gold.

Cao Liang said calmly: "Today, the Sima family's ancestral grave was dug up. As a tombkeeper, don't you have any responsibility? The Sima family will definitely be angry with you and kill you to vent their anger. Your current situation

, In fact, one foot has already entered the gate of hell. Take this gold, leave here, and remain anonymous. It will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Where to go, think about it for yourself?"

The steward with the knife was also threatening He Wu: "If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I will chop off your head with a knife."

He Wu was crying and looking uglier than his dead parents. Although he was a slave of the Sima family, he didn't have any good impressions of the Sima family. Generally, servants with high status didn't have to do such a weird job as guarding the tomb.

Maybe they, lowly domestic servants, were sent here.

If he really knew, he would definitely tell it without hesitation for the sake of these golds.

It's a pity that he really doesn't know, so no matter how greedy he is for some gold, he doesn't dare to put any thought into it.

"Sir, I have absolutely no lies. The person buried in the tomb is indeed Mrs. Xiahou. She was buried that day with my own eyes. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die badly!" He Wu

He swore hastily, for fear that Cao Liang would not believe him.

Cao Liang looked grim. Judging from He Wu's condition, he didn't seem to be lying. He was a lowly servant who should not be tempted by threats or inducements.

Could it be that the person buried in this tomb is really Xia Houhui? Could it be that Xia Houhui really died of illness and not poisoned by Master Sima?

History actually played such a big joke on itself!

Xia Houxuan walked over, his face also looking extremely ugly. After all, this result was completely beyond his expectation. How would it end when things got to this point?

"What should I do?" Xia Houxuan asked Cao Liang.

Cao Liang frowned and said: "I still don't believe that your sister died of illness. The old thief Sima is so cunning. Maybe he had already transferred your sister's body before carrying it to the cemetery. The remains in the coffin are not at all

It’s not my sister’s.”

Xia Houxuan did not refute. For so many years, he has always believed that Master Sima poisoned Xia Houhui. This idea has long been ingrained. Now if someone tells him that you misunderstood Master Sima, he did not kill your sister at all. Xia Houxuan

You must be in a hurry with him.

But belief is one thing, evidence is another. Now the grave has been dug, and a white skeleton has been found. After inspection, there are no problems. Xia Houxuan looks confused. I really don’t know.

What to do.

Cao Liang is also very worried now. Things that were once a sure thing have now turned out like this. It has to be said that Jiang is still very old. Sima Yi's calculations are probably unparalleled by anyone in the world. Six years ago, he had already

It blocked the way for others to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.

It only takes ten days at most for a corpse to be buried and rotten. As long as Sima Yi can ensure that nothing happens during these ten days, everything will be fine in the future.

What’s so special is that there is no proof of death!

Cao Liang suddenly felt helpless. If this was really the case, he would really have nothing to do with the Sima family.

Wait, Cao Liang suddenly thought, if Xia Houhui is not buried in this tomb, then where has the real body of Xia Houhui gone?

There was no custom of cremation in this era. Even if the enemy soldiers were killed on the battlefield, they would be buried. The Sima family used the method of transplanting flowers and grafting trees to bury an unrelated woman in Xiahou Hui's tomb. So,

Xia Houhui's body was definitely not abandoned by them, but buried somewhere else.

The relationship between Xia Houhui and Master Sima is actually very good. Otherwise, Xia Houhui would not have given birth to five daughters to Master Sima within nine years of their marriage. Such a high productivity proves that these nine years

Among them, Master Sima was relatively single-minded in his feelings and favored only Xia Houhui.

Why Xia Houhui was poisoned to death has always been a mystery in the field of history. The Jin Dynasty Book says very vaguely, "If you are not a pure minister of Wei", you are not a pure minister, you must be a rebel minister. It was obviously Xiahou Hui who knew about the Sima family.

Some secret things, such as Yin raising dead soldiers, so Master Sima killed Xia Houhui in order to avoid leaking the secrets.

But no matter what the outcome is, Master Sima still has a basis for his feelings for Xia Houhui. After Xiahou Hui's death, Master Sima no longer has to worry about revealing his rebellious ambitions. How to bury Xia Houhui? Cao Liang feels that he should not go that far.

Xiahou Hui abandoned his body in the wilderness in the territory, right?

Cao Liang looked around. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the rising sun was shining brightly on the ancestral graveyard of the Sima family.

The cemetery of the Sima family is very large, with at least hundreds of tombs. The ancients were very particular about their tombs, and direct and collateral lines should never be confused.

Xia Houhui's tomb is quite special. It is in the center of the entire cemetery, but it is far away from the surrounding tombs. At the top of her tomb is the tomb of Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, and below is reserved

Regarding the position of Sima Yi's brothers, Xia Houhui will definitely be buried with Master Sima in the future, which proves that this position will be the final destination of Master Sima in the future.

However, Cao Liang noticed that there were many graves without tombstones at the edges of the cemetery. These graves were far less neatly repaired than the large tombs in the central area. Many of the graves looked like just small mounds of earth.

It is estimated that even the tomb keeper seldom repairs it, as the weeds on the tomb have grown very tall.

Obviously, the owners of these tombs had a much lower status during their lifetime, and their safety cannot be compared with that of the large tombs in the center of the cemetery.

Cao Liang pointed to these tombs and asked He Wu: "Who is buried in those tombs?"

He Wu took a look, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said: "Those graves are buried with low-class people, or some of the common people who committed crimes and were expelled from the family, otherwise there would be no tombstones."

Not a single piece of it."
