Chapter 658: Worship

Yun Zhao walked through the tall archway and entered the gate. Looking at Yun Zhao's face, Wu Fan and others followed him carefully for a few steps. Even Jiang Xu, who had always been careless, kept silent and tiptoed.

At a glance, you can tell that this cemetery has put in a lot of effort. The roads inside are paved with bluestone slabs. On both sides of the road, there are pine and cypresses. If it is not winter but summer, it will be extremely cool when you walk in.

After walking a few steps, Yun Zhao stopped. On his left hand, there was a grave. After looking at the location, Yun Zhao remembered that this was once the second grandfather's home. When he walked to the tomb, Yun Zhao squatted down and reached out to brush away the snow on the tombstone. Yun Dashan's tomb, Yun Zhao erected a few big words to appear in front of him. Yun Dashan was the second grandfather's name.

Yun Zhao knelt down, knocked three times, stood up straight, and walked inside. The houses used to be gone long ago, and the fire burned Yunjia Village to ruins. Now, above the original house location, there is a tomb. The name of this family is on each tomb. Without exception, the signature is Yun Zhao.

These are naturally all the masterpieces of Jaeldan. It was obviously a great effort to do these things well. Yun Zhao slowly walked through the graves and got closer to his former home.

On the ruins of the home, he buried his mother. Yun Zhao's hands trembled slightly.

A large bamboo forest appeared in front of the road, covered with snow, and the ice reflected light in the sun. Between the bamboo forest, a winding path was winding and twisting. Yun Zhao walked towards the bamboo forest without hesitation. As soon as he came out of the forest, it was Yun Zhao, and even Wu Fan and Jiang Xu, who were following Yun Zhao, took a breath.

It was a large-scale tomb. The main tomb with a fan-shaped fan was accompanied by a series of auxiliary buildings, covering an area of ​​half an acre. On the surface of the monument, two phoenixes flew together, and on the pillars in front, the dragons were entangled, appearing vividly. In front of the tomb, two unicorns stood upright, just like two guards, guarding the guards on both sides of the gate of the tomb chamber and extending to both sides. Various stone carvings were endless, surrounding the entire tomb in the middle.

"Oh my God! Wu Fan exclaimed, "What a high specification, Governor. This is a tomb built according to the rules of the prince!"

"It's very beautiful, very beautiful!" Jiang Xu didn't know what regulations were. But he thought the grave was very grand and majestic.

Yun Zhao still didn't say anything, strode to the tomb and knelt down on his knees. Wu Fan quickly took the incense from the guards, lit it and handed it to Yun Zhao, holding the incense in both hands, and raised it to his forehead. Yun Zhao bowed three times in front of his mother's tomb.

"Mom. I'm back!" He said loudly: "Your son is back to see you!"

"My son is unfilial. I have only been back for eight years and I have been burning incense for you and kowtow for you!" Yun Zhao's voice whimpered, and tears fell on the ground.

"Governor's Day!" Wu Fan knelt half a step behind Yun Zhao, knocked his head a few times, and got up to help Yun Zhao up. "Governor, you are now returning home in glory. The old lady will be very happy if you know her in the nine springs."

"I have everything now. But my mother can't see or enjoy it!" Yun Zhao lowered her head, "If time could turn around, I would rather not have it all. I just hope that when I go home at sunset every day, I can see my mother leaning against the door and looking at it."

"The governor is full of filial piety, and the old lady can naturally feel it in the sky!" Wu Fan whispered: "Governor, don't be too sad. There is a bamboo house over there. Go there and have a rest!"

Yun Zhao shook his head, "I want to sweep the grave for my mother. Go and find me a broom." He reached out to brush away the pile of snow on the tomb chamber, and Yun Zhao ordered.

Wu Fan quickly retreated, and in a moment, he brought over more than a dozen brooms.

"You guys go back, I'll do it myself!"

"Governor, this place is too big, let's help the Governor clean together!"

"I said I will do it myself!" Yun Zhao's voice was unquestionable.

Wu Fan led the soldiers to retreat helplessly. Yun Zhao picked up the broom and carefully swept the snow at the top of the tombstone. The north was cold. Not only was there thick snow piled up on the huge tomb chamber, but the lowest layer condensed into ice. A little by little, inch by inch, Yun Zhao slowly cleaned the tomb chamber.

Time passed little by little, and the sun had begun to sink. Although the cold winter was in the twelfth month, large drops of sweat fell from Yun Zhao's forehead, and his underwear was already wet. When the last handful of snow was cleaned, Wu Fan rushed over and said, "Governor, change your clothes. It's very easy to get cold. There is a bamboo house over there. I have someone who has made a fire inside and burned hot water. Go and take a shower and change a dry clothes."

Yun Zhao gently stroked the tombstone, nodded, turned around and walked towards the bamboo house. Behind him, Wu Fan directed the soldiers to neatly pack the pastries, snacks, fruits and other food boxes brought by the soldiers to the side, and then took everyone to transport the snow that Yun Zhao swept down to the side.

When he finished all this and returned to the bamboo house, Yun Zhao had already finished taking a shower, changed into clean clothes, and was sitting by the fire, slowly siping hot tea.

"Wu Fan, bring those misled leaders here. I have something to ask him!" Yun Zhao said.

"yes!"

The Mengren leader, who was tied with his hands behind his back, was taken into the bamboo house. He was a veteran over fifty years old. Looking at Yun Zhao, he was not very scared.

"Tuo Duo has seen Governor Yun!" Tuo Duo bowed and bowed.

Yun Zhao nodded, "Wu Fan, untie the rope!"

Looking behind Yun Zhao, Jiang Xu stood with a knife. Wu Fan walked forward, untied the rope of Todo, then retreated to one side, staring at the other party tightly.

Tuduo stood in front of Yun Zhao while rubbing his sore wrists.

"When was this cemetery built?" Yun Zhao asked.

"It was three years ago. His Majesty was still the princess of the country at that time. He specially sent a supervisor from the princess's mansion to carry the drawings. It was built by Wu Yan, the governor of Lucheng. It took a year to complete it." Yun Zhao nodded. It seemed that Wu Yan was shocked a few days ago and did not say this. If he had said it, he might have spared his life.

"After the completion of the construction, His Highness the Princess came here to worship the old lady!" Todo said, "His Highness the Princess has lived here for three days. When he left, he said that Governor Yun could not come here now, so she would come to visit the grave every year. But a year later, my country changed a lot and His Highness the Princess never came again. This bamboo house was originally built for His Highness the Princess, and no one lived in it."

Wu Fan showed surprise, but he tried not to make any noise. Yaerdan built a tomb for Mrs. Yun, or it could be said that it was to buy Yun Zhao well, but he came to pay homage and stayed there for three days. This practice was intriguing.

"This village has become a cemetery. How can Yaldan know how many people there are in each household and who they are? I can clearly write it on the tombstone."

"When building the cemetery, His Royal Highness had a lot of trouble and found several young people from Yunjia Village who were working in Lucheng at that time, brought them back here, identified them one by one, and then built these tombs on the original site." Todo said.

"It took a lot of effort!" Yun Zhao said softly. He stood up, walked to Toduo, and suddenly bowed to him. Toduo was startled and moved away.

"I am thankful for keeping my mother's tomb for the past three years, not for anything else," Yun Zhao said.

"I am here on your order." Todo said.

"I know, then you go back and thank Yaerdan for me, and say that I, Yun Zhao, thanked her for the tomb she built for my mother. It's very good, I'm very satisfied."

"The governor wants me to go back?"

"What will I keep you for?" Yun Zhao shook his head, "Wu Fan, give him a pass to let him return to Yanjing unimpededly."

"Yes, Governor!" Wu Fan said.

"Tordo, go back and tell Yaerdan that although I thank her for building such a good grave for my mother, my mother's death cannot be separated from her, and I will not forgive her. Yunjia Village will not agree to this hundred lives. It won't take long to break Yanjing, and I will not let the murderer of that year go."

Todo's face was a little pale, "Governor, I am the old man in the Princess's Mansion. Although I did not participate in the incident back then, I also knew that the princess was also threatened by others, not her true intention. Besides, over the years, we have been killed and injured by people in your hands, but we are afraid that there will be thousands!"

"Bold!" Wu Fan glared and roared.

"Nothing!" Yun Zhao waved his hand to stop Wu Fan's roar, "There are causes and results, and there are roots and branches. The grievances between us are not so simple to explain. It is enough to bring my words back. Wu Fan, send them away."

Wu Fan escorted Toduo away from the bamboo house, and Yun Zhao also walked out with them. Looking back at the elegantly shaped bamboo house, Yun Zhao said in a deep voice: "Jiang Xu, demolish it for me."

"Yes, Governor!" Jiang Xu took his Mo sword from the guards, snatched him forward, swung the huge Mo sword, and slashed him hard. Amid Jiang Xu's tiger roar, the beautiful bamboo house turned into a pile of ruins in an instant. The guards waiting immediately rushed up and cleared the ruins completely.

"Let's go, I'll go and see my father-in-law... No, it's Mr. Qin's grave."

Yun Zhao strode towards the other end of the village, where Rouniang's home was.

Like other places in the village, Rouniang's home has now become a tomb. This tomb is more particular than other people, but it is far less than the high-standard tomb of Yun Zhao's mother.
