On a cold winter night, snowflakes flew in the sky.Several carriages were driving on the road covered with thin snow.

There was silence all around, and everything was immersed in sleep. There was only the creaking sound of the wheels running over the snow-covered road, and the clattering sound of the horse's hooves.

When the carriage reached the wilderness, more than ten miles away from the capital, the carriage stopped.

There are always special personnel guarding this place, and Hu Gao intends to arrest Li Chenglong and his son.

He knew that as long as their father and son returned to the Xuanwu Dynasty, they would definitely come here to worship.

Now that the New Year is coming soon, he asked the guards to be more vigilant and pay close attention to everything here.

Jiang Chen stepped forward and looked around. Around this mass grave, there were withered trees and lush grass. A kind of gloomy energy instantly hit his face, making people feel like they were in hell.

He rode around and looked around, but found no one guarding the place. Probably because of the cold weather, the night watcher went to find a place to sleep.

Jiang Chen jumped off the horse and saw that his uncle had helped his mother out of the carriage.A thick layer of snow has fallen on the ground.

As soon as mother Li Susu got out of the car, her tears could no longer be controlled. She cried as she walked, staggering as she led them to the grave.

At this time, Li Shenyi saw a huge grave mound in front of him.Knowing that all of his relatives were buried here, he could no longer control his emotions. He knelt down in front of the grave, touched his head to the ground and kept repeating the same action.Although he was a strong-willed man, he was already crying.

Needless to say, he felt deep-rooted grief in his heart. He used to go home to a big and lively family.Now he could only worship them here. He did not dare to howl loudly, so he knelt on the ground and said:

"Mom, I'm back, and your beloved son has come back to see you. It's all because of the unfilial piety of the child that you both lost your lives. The child is guilty, and it's the child who is sorry for you. Mother, it's us who are sorry for you. And my wife and children, Please take care of them over there. Today, I, my sister, and Jiang Chen came to see you. I swear that I, Li Shen, will not be a human being until I repay this deep hatred. I will definitely kill the traitors with my own hands and use their Human heads, come to comfort your spirits in heaven.”

Ah Fu and the two guards had already placed the offerings in front of the grave.

The flames of burning paper money ignited Lao Gao.

The prince also came to the tomb and bowed to the tomb in front of him.

Jiang Chen felt this sad atmosphere for the first time, and it stung his heart more and more.

The snowflakes in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, and Li Shen crouched in front of the grave for a long time, unwilling to get up.At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

The guard standing by said to the prince:

"Your Highness, someone is coming,"

The prince immediately ordered Li Shen:

"It seems that the one who is supposed to come has arrived. General Li, you can't let them find out. You'd better follow me to the car and hide first. Jiang Chen, go and intercept those people, deal with them first, and send them away if you can. Send him away, I'll show up again if it doesn't work."

After saying that, he picked up Li Shen and pushed him into the car.

Jiang Chen saw those people, they were surrounding them from all directions, and he only saw a leader who was taking the lead and said to his men when Jiang Chen came up to him:

"Brothers, come to me and take down all these rebels. Not one of them can escape."

Jiang Chen said to the leader:

"My lord, what crime have we committed? Why do you want to arrest us?"

The leader raised the whip in his hand and said fiercely to Jiang Chen:

"You dare to come here to visit the grave. You are very brave. You dare to ask me who I am and what you people are doing here in the middle of the night. Do you know who are buried here? They are traitors who were executed by the court. The family of the thief Li Chenglong. If you dare to come here to visit his grave, you must be his remnants. Come on, arrest all these people."

As soon as the man finished speaking, some people came up from behind and immediately surrounded Jiang Chen and the others.

Jiang Chen protected his mother behind him, and Ah Fu also hurriedly came up to protect his wife.

Jiang Chen said to those people:

"Sir, I know that those who do bad things and commit crimes must be arrested. I have never heard that even if you come to visit your ancestors' graves during the Chinese New Year, you will be arrested. Please explain, what is your behavior called What?"

The man sneered and said to Jiang Chen:

"Of course there is nothing wrong with visiting the graves of our ancestors. What is wrong is that the families of the criminals who were beheaded by the emperor are buried here. If you dare to come here to visit their graves, you must be the remnants of the Li family. None of you can escape. All of you. Catch him and send him to the Yamen for interrogation."

Jiang Chen sneered, took another step forward, and said to the man:

"Sir, I don't think you need to send me to the Yamen. Wouldn't it be better if you send me directly to the emperor? Let me tell you, I am not only a remnant of the Li family, I am also a remnant of the Li family. Hurry up. Just take me away."

Which leader saw Jiang Chen not only not afraid at all, but also insisted on arresting him. Knowing that he must have some background, he asked him:

"I'm very surprised. I've never seen anyone take the initiative to catch me. Who are you? Tell me quickly."

Jiang Chen took a step forward and said;

"Sir, we know that this is a forbidden area and we are not allowed to visit the grave privately. No matter whether the people here are guilty or not, the dead are the most important, so in order not to cause you any trouble, we came here to visit the grave in the middle of the night. I have thought about it for you. , you can't treat us like this. We will leave after visiting the grave, and we won't embarrass you. Didn't you just ask me who I am, then I will tell you, I am Jiang Chen, the son of Jiang Xiaotian, the Marquis of Dingyuan."

Although the man knew that Jiang Xiaotian was stationed in northern Xinjiang and held military power, he did not dare to disobey Prime Minister Hu's order, so he said to him:

"I don't care whose young master you are, it's my duty to guard the cemetery. If you have anything to do, go to the Yamen first and talk about it. Whoever comes, arrest them and everyone in the car."

At this moment, several guards came over with swords and said to the man:

"Bold slave, do you know who is sitting in the car? If you dare to catch him, you will see several heads grow on your own head."

The leader knew he was facing a tough fight, but he took advantage of the large number of people and said aggressively:

"I don't care who's inside. Even if the prince is here now, he still has to listen to Prime Minister Hu. Come and serve me."

Before his men could come up, Jiang Chen jumped up and kicked the leader off his horse.

The man threw it heavily to the ground and shouted angrily to his men:

"Whatever you want to see, give it to me."

Jiang Chen suddenly held his throat and said

"Let them go down and let us go, or I will prevent you from seeing the sun tomorrow."

The man struggled for a long time but could not break free from Jiang Chen's hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly begged Jiang Chen:

"Master Jiang, Master Jiang, please spare your life. I have an 80-year-old mother at home and a toddler who is still waiting for me to come home. You must not kill me. I will ask my brothers to let you go immediately. I’ll just pretend you’ve never been here, okay?”

Jiang Chen looked at his scared look and said to him:

"Look at me and remember your little master. When I come back next time, if you dare to say no to me, I will have your head moved. Tell all your men to move away. If you dare to play tricks with me, Huahua, I recognize you, but my fists don’t recognize you, do you understand?”

The leader felt as if Jiang Chen's hand would strangle him to death if he used any force, so he said to him:

"Sir, please take them away. I'll pretend you didn't see them. I promise not to let them chase you."
