Chapter 195 A stone tablet
On both sides of the Shinto of Empress Dowager Gao's mausoleum, the soil under all the stone statues was dug up, revealing numerous bones. I wonder how many dead cats and dogs were buried?
Even near the main tomb of Empress Dowager Gao, many beast bones were dug out.
If this were normal, just breaking ground on the imperial mausoleum without permission would be enough to convict Ning Fu, and even Zhao Bai would be held accountable, but now he can't care about that.
"How could this happen? Who hates our Zhao family so much?"
Zhao Bao fell into a sluggish state as he listened to the description of the maid next to him, and could only repeat this sentence.
Ning Fu also frowned anxiously. It can be seen from these bones that the people behind Zhou Xiu must hate the Zhao family to the core. Not only did they attack the underage princes and princesses, they even refused to let go of the dead. It is simply appalling.
At this moment, Liu Mu and the people from the Imperial City Division were seen running over panting.
"Uncle, some animal bones were also found at Yingzong's mausoleum, but the number is not large. It is probably because it is not convenient for Zhou Xiu to go there, so he did not have the opportunity to bury too many."
Liu Mu came to Ning Fu and saluted with clasped fists.
Ning Fu had just sent him to Zhao Shu's tomb to check the situation. After all, there were animal bones here, and Zhao Shu would not be let go. Now Ning Fu's guess has been confirmed.
"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!"
Zhao Bai, who was next to him, heard Liu Mu's report and immediately stamped his feet angrily.
Even the tomb of his imperial grandfather was buried with dead cats and dogs. If this spread, I am afraid that the entire royal family will become a laughing stock in the world.
"Your Highness, not only the Yonghou Mausoleum, I suspect that there may be problems with several other imperial mausoleums!"
Ning Fu frowned and said to Zhao Bai.
The mastermind behind the scenes has probably started to attack the princes and princesses since the time of Zhenzong, so it is very likely that they will also attack the imperial mausoleum.
Although this so-called "witchcraft" seems very childish to Ning Fu, a bit like drawing a circle to curse you, to the superstitious ancients, this kind of behavior that destroys the feng shui of the imperial mausoleum is very serious.
Meaning of revenge.
"Other imperial tombs! You said maybe even the imperial tombs of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong..."
Zhao Bai couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. If this was true, it would also confirm their previous guesses that the man behind the scenes did exist and had been secretly targeting the Zhao family for hundreds of years.
"Your Highness, Yongchang Mausoleum and Yongxi Mausoleum are very close to each other. Should we go dig and take a look?"
Ning Fu suggested again that the Yongchang Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Zhao Kuangyin and the Yongxi Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Zhao Guangyi. The two imperial mausoleums are next to each other and very close to the Yonghou Mausoleum. In fact, all the imperial mausoleums of the Song Dynasty are nearby.
Ning Fu didn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter, so it was better to let Zhao Bai, the big head, make the decision.
"Well... I think it would be better to send someone to ask Brother Huang for his opinion!"
Zhao Bai didn't dare to make a decision at this time. After all, it was better to let Zhao Xu decide on digging the graves of his ancestors.
"Okay, Liu Mu, please work hard again and report the situation in the imperial mausoleum to the officials in detail!"
Ning Fu ordered Liu Mu.
"I obey my orders!"
Liu Mu also felt bitter in his heart, but he had to agree.
Originally, Liu Mu didn't want to get too involved in this shocking case, but now that such a big thing has happened to the imperial tomb, and other imperial tombs may have been damaged, it is impossible for him to escape now.
Just as Liu Mu and his men left, he suddenly saw another person from the Imperial City Division running towards them.
"Your Highness, uncle, we found something behind Yingzong's tomb!"
The visitor reported back to Zhao Bai and Ning.
"What?"
Ning Fu asked immediately.
"It's a stone tablet. You'd better go and see it for yourself!"
The visitor replied with a troubled expression.
Ning Fu and Zhao Bai set off immediately after hearing this. Zhao Shu's mausoleum was right in front of Empress Dowager Gao's, and it only took a few minutes to walk there.
Soon the two came to Zhao Shu's mausoleum, but the people from the Imperial City Department were behind the mausoleum, where the stone tablet was also found.
I saw that the land behind the mausoleum had been dug up, revealing some scattered broken bones, which were much fewer than those at the Queen Mother Gao's side.
But among the broken bones and soil, there was a small stone tablet.
It's said to be a stone tablet, but it's actually a little bigger than a city wall brick, and it's covered with dirt. Only the front of the stone tablet has been cleaned, revealing a few words engraved on it.
Ning Fu stepped forward, and when he saw the words on the stone tablet clearly, his expression changed.
He finally understood why the people from the Imperial City Department asked him to see it in person instead of telling him what words were engraved on the stone tablet.
"Brother Ning, what is written on the stone tablet?"
Zhao Bai couldn't wait any longer, so he asked.
"this……"
Ning Fu had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Your Highness, this stone tablet should have been erected by the man behind the scenes. What he said is extremely disrespectful."
Ning Fu hesitated for a moment before giving Zhao Bai a vaccination.
"What exactly is written on it?"
Zhao Bai asked eagerly again.
"The Tomb of the Pseudo-Song Emperor Zhao Shu."
Ning Fu sighed and said softly.
Even the title of the Song Dynasty was denied by the other party, which made Ning Fu feel a bit sympathetic. It is estimated that only a rebel like him would call the Song Dynasty that way.
"Fake Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Bai sneered when he heard this.
"They are indeed a group of rebels. They don't dare to do anything openly, but they only do these dirty little tricks in secret!"
When Zhao Bai said it to the end, he also had an expression of gritted teeth.
Ning Fu also agreed very much with Zhao Bai's words. Although he was also a rebel, he had his own bottom line.
If there is no chance of rebellion, he would rather be an obedient citizen.
Rather than being like the other party, who almost unscrupulously targets the old Zhao family, and even extends his evil hands to those newborn children.
In the next period of time, Ning Fu and Zhao Bai almost turned over the entire Yonghou Mausoleum, but except for the tombs of Zhao Shu and Empress Dowager Gao, no other abnormalities were found.
Two days later, Liu Mu finally returned from the capital, and even Zhao Xu came with him. After all, such a big thing happened, and Zhao Xu would not be relieved if he didn't see it with his own eyes.
And when Zhao Xu saw the animal bones buried under the imperial mausoleum and the stone tablet found behind Zhao Shu's tomb, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. The other party was simply bullying him too much!
"Guan Family, we suspect that other imperial tombs have the same problem, especially the tombs of Taizu or Taizong. They are more likely to be tampered with, so do you want to dig it out too?"
Ning Fu finally asked Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu also suppressed the anger in his heart at this time. After a moment of silence, he finally made a decision.
"Don't touch the imperial tombs of Taizu and Taizong for the time being. Let's go to Yongyu Mausoleum to look for them first!"
