Lu Jinping thought that the footprints appearing at the grave were a good clue to solving the case, and could even directly lock in the tomb robbers. However, because the villagers in the village discovered the tomb robbers and some people went in to check it, even if the footprints near the tomb robbers were left behind, they were probably destroyed. However, this is an important direction for detection and must be checked as soon as possible.

Lu Jinping immediately stood up and said, "Let's go to Yunshan Village right away."

When Luo Sifa heard this, he was too anxious, saying that wind is rain. Of course, Lu Jinping's positive attitude moved him even more. He stood up and expressed his gratitude. He immediately ordered the horse to go to Yunshan Village.

The martial style of the Tang Dynasty was prevalent, and even if civil officials in the court went on a journey, most of them rode horses. So they almost rode horses. Three people rode horses and took their followers to Yunshan Village.

Of course, Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing and his forensic survey box, which was carried by Ye Qingqing and was specially responsible for custody. In order to avoid human eyes, the forensic survey box was wrapped in a piece of blue cloth outside, and there was no dazzling aluminum alloy inside.

Yunshan Village is not too far from Tongzhou Prefecture, and it will arrive at noon. The first constable has already informed Li Cunzheng of the village. Li Cunzheng brought the village gentry to the entrance of the village to greet him, because in addition to the seventh-rank Sima who was in charge of the criminal prison in Tongzhou, there is also a fifth-rank lord, who is an amazing senior official.

They were waiting at the entrance of the village. After Lu Jinping and the others arrived, Li Village was taking the gentry to toast. Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "We are not here to visit. Hurry up and take us to General Li's ancestral grave. We will start handling the case immediately. No false conspiracy is needed."

Li Cunzheng didn't expect that the lord who came was so young and didn't care about Xu Li at all. He was surprised and nervous, so he quickly took them to the hill outside the village to the ancestral tomb of General Li on the hill.

General Li's ancestral tomb is on a small hillside, and there are tombs around it. This is the main tomb mountain in the local area.

When General Li was still a hundred steps away from the stolen ancestral tomb, Lu Jinping asked the others to stay where they were not moved and went over to check it out himself.

When he slowly approached, hoping to find useful footprints on the ground, he was disappointed because there were no clear footprints on the ground that could be distinguished. He walked to the grave of General Li's grandmother, and could not find complete shoeprints for identification. Judging from the dry soil around him, it should not have been raining much during this period. Therefore, the surrounding land had already dried up, and with the people trampling, the footprints left had already been destroyed.

Lu Jinping's eyes returned to General Li's grandmother's grave. This grave was nothing special than other graves. The grave piles were neatly piled up with stones, and the grave was covered with grass. On one side of the grave, there was a thieves hole that could penetrate almost the size of a person. Although it was backfilled, the case was not solved, so it was just a simple backfilling and no repairs were made. Compared with the graves covered with grass next to it, you can see the backfilling thieves hole at a glance.

Lu Jinping looked around and saw that the grave mountain did not have any other suspicious situations that attracted his attention.

Lu Jinping called Li Cunzheng over and asked, "Is it this thief hole?"

"Yes, after the yamen investigation, General Li's family blocked it again."

"Has the entire hole been blocked? Or just block the external hole?"

Li Cunzheng hurriedly said: "It was filled by General Li's family, and we don't know the details."

"Is there anyone else in their family in the village?"

"There is an uncle here, and he is in charge of it. General Li and his family have moved to the capital to live. The only uncle and his family are in the village."

"Can you invite him?"

Li Cunzheng said: "Yes, but his legs are not very flexible. He originally wanted to go to the entrance of the village to welcome you, Jue Sir, but his legs are not good, so it is not convenient to come. However, when the dinner party is hosting Luo Sifa and Jue Sir, he will attend. Since Jue Sir is going to invite him now, let's ask someone to carry him."

After Li Village sent villagers to carry General Li’s uncle, Lu Jinping asked Li Village, "Who do you think is more likely to rob the tomb?"

Li Cunzheng glanced at Luo Sifa and smiled awkwardly and said, "This... When Luo Sifa came to investigate, we thought about everyone we could think of, arrested and beaten, and confessed, but we still couldn't find General Li's grandmother's corpse and burial items. So, we really don't know who did such a tomb robber that was so unreasonable. We can never think of anyone else who might be a tomb robber."

Lu Jinping said: "What are the stolen things?"

Li Cunzheng couldn't answer because he did not participate in the investigation and turned his attention to Luo Siye.

Luo Sifa said: "The things that were buried with you are not very precious, they are just some ceramic ware, clothes, etc., and there is no gold, silver and treasures. At that time, the Li family was worried that someone would dig a grave, so they did not dare to bury the precious things. Unexpectedly, they were robbed of the tomb and even the bones were gone."

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "This is indeed a bit strange. It is natural to say that the tomb robbers steal the burial items, but they steal all the bones. This is really puzzling."

Luo Sifa said: "The corpses were also stolen in tomb robbery cases we cracked in the past, but most of them were thrown near the tombs to remove valuable clothes from the corpse and then abandon the corpse. However, we searched carefully around and found no corpses."

"Will it be taken away by a dog or a wolf? Or is it afraid of being discovered, hidden or buried?"

"Well, the Lord is right. We didn't expect this. I immediately sent someone to expand the search scope and pay attention to searching for hidden places to see if I could find clues to the corpse."

Lu Jinping nodded and began to search around the grave mountain to see if he could find any clues. But unfortunately, no clues were found.

At this time, General Li's uncle sat on a sedan chair and was carried by several villagers.

General Li's uncle was indeed old enough, with white hair floating in the cold wind, and it looked very desolate. Two young people followed behind him. When they approached, the villagers put down the sedan chair.

After Li Cunzheng gave an introduction, his uncle bowed and said, "I met two adults. The two adults came to investigate the case. I forgive me for not being able to greet the village because of my inconvenience in legs and feet."

Lu Jinping said a few words of kindness.

The uncle then introduced the two young people behind him, his son and nephew. However, because they were from General Li's uncle's family, they did not belong to General Li's family, but lived here in the same village, so they took care of the Li family's ancestral tomb. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

Lu Jinping asked: "General Li's grandmother's grave was dug. Did you send someone to do the backfilling after that?"

The uncle nodded and said, "That's right, I invited Mr. Yin and Yang to see the days. When it comes to the ancestral tomb, I can't just seal it. I can only cover it with a straw mat for the time being. After asking Mr. Yin and Yang to see, Zhang Jianzi Zhang decided on it. Then my two nephews blocked the thief again and invited several Taoists to do rituals."

Lu Jinping asked: "When the backfilling was backfilled, did the entire thief hole be blocked, or did he only seal the outside layer?"

"So I sealed the outside. Because the people from the Li family said that if they found the remains of Grandma's grandmother in the future, they would need to be buried again. They asked the mage to do the trick, so it would be just a simple seal."

Lu Jinping asked again: "Do you know what the situation under this grave is like?"

"I have heard that there is a tomb chamber below, built with bricks around it, and a coffin is placed in the middle, which is from General Li's grandmother. There are ceramic ware for burial for burial in the tomb chamber. Because General Li never likes to be arrogant in front of others, the tomb is relatively simple."

Lu Jinping said: "I want to dig the thief hole again, enter the grave, and check whether the tomb robbers have left some traces. Can you see?"

My uncle was surprised: "Why do you still have to go in? Haven't you checked it?"

"It's different, I'll check it out myself."
