Chapter 299 Looking for someone like this?
at a loss.
All those emotions from before have now vanished from his mind.
All that's left is bewilderment.
He even considered that Tang Yu might use various methods to investigate his leads.
Go and find that person who has passed away.
After all, he knew that Li Mengyao was still alive and spending every day with Tang Yu.
He knew that his identity would definitely be exposed.
However, he had actually completely erased his identity long before this incident.
Even more than a decade ago, Ying Zheng indirectly helped him erase his identity.
In other words, he is currently in a state of being untraceable.
Therefore, he has plenty of self-confidence.
No matter how Tang Yu investigates, he will never be able to find any trace of himself.
At that time, he could even use the opportunity to satirize Tang Yu's incompetence.
To his utter surprise, he never expected this.
Tang Yu did not consider investigating whether there were any spies who had slipped through the net, or any other circumstances.
Instead, they turned their attention to those who had died.
It's important to understand that this was a time when tomb raiders were rampant, let alone during the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a period known for its high moral standards and ethical standards.
Even so, the act of desecrating human remains was despised by everyone at the time.
Cao Cao's actions earned him a very bad reputation.
In the pre-Qin era, the importance of human remains was self-evident.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a saying as "whipping a corpse."
Except for extremely deep-seated hatred and very few special circumstances.
Even for the murder of one's father, one would not easily resort to methods like desecrating a corpse.
After all, the integrity and importance of the remains are common knowledge.
But now, this Imperial Advisor Tang Yu has chosen to whip the corpse without even burning it, without a word of protest.
Is this something a human being could do?
The person hidden in the crowd was dumbfounded; he never imagined things would develop to this point.
This seemed completely different from what he had imagined, but just as he was about to speak up in rebuttal...
Unexpectedly, these officials looked at each other and then at each other.
A look of joy appeared on his face.
After all, the reason they concealed this matter was because they were worried that it would implicate Ying Zheng.
This, in turn, caused Ying Zheng to recall unpleasant memories from the past.
Ultimately, the remaining nobles in the entire city of Handan became the scapegoats.
However, now, after Tang Yu's handling of the situation...
Whether Ying Zheng knew about this or not, as long as Tang Yu took all the blame and responsibility.
It's all the fault of that once noble Ji family; it has nothing to do with the other noble families in Handan.
Therefore, the nobles wholeheartedly agreed to Tang Yu's proposal.
"The Imperial Advisor is truly wise!"
"The Imperial Advisor is right! It must be the work of an evil spirit."
"The Imperial Advisor is wise!"
The group of people looked at each other and then began to flatter each other.
The surrounding people, however, did not understand what Tang Yu was talking about.
However, they always felt that Tang Yu must have his reasons, after all, he was the Imperial Advisor.
After Tang Yu stood up for them, they took his words as gospel.
"Grand Preceptor, we support you."
"Yes, go find them. It's all their fault, they're the ones who caused this."
"In this era, when something like this happens to us, the belief in ghosts and gods is still quite prevalent."
"Or rather, until the establishment of the later Chinese nation."
"The belief in ghosts and gods is mainstream on this continent and holds a very important position."
To these commoners and nobles, what Tang Yu said was...
It wasn't exactly baseless; rather, it was based on sound reasoning and evidence.
"Since you all agree with what I said."
"Now, let's go and see who is responsible for this tragedy."
As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, he led a large group of people toward the outskirts of Handan City.
Ultimately, it was Zheng Ge's last shred of mercy back then that gave Tang Yu the opportunity to do what he did today.
After all, when Zheng Ge (the emperor) confiscated and exterminated the Ji family, he also executed the other nine clans.
They even filled the ant nests with boiling water, and split the earthworms vertically in half.
But in the end, out of consideration for fellow nobles, they spared him some face.
That's why their bodies weren't just dumped in mass graves.
Instead, they chose a place for them to be buried and laid to rest.
If Ying Zheng really chose to leave them in the mass grave...
Therefore, it would be quite difficult for Tang Yu to find out who this person was.
As the crowd headed out of the city, many of the Imperial Guards began reporting information to Shen Lang.
They had just been observing the group of nobles and commoners from among the crowd.
When Tang Yu said he was going to desecrate the corpse.
Those whose expressions and actions showed obvious changes and who became flustered were all recorded.
Shen Lang looked at the list in his hand and glanced at Tang Yu at the front of the crowd.
A look of surprise and astonishment flashed in his eyes; he never expected this.
Tang Yu actually came up with such an outrageous idea.
In this era, Tang Yu's behavior can be described as outrageous and disrespectful to the dead.
However, from the perspective of later generations, this is a different story for Tang Yu.
This behavior was only slightly excessive.
If Tang Yu wanted to, he could have gone a thousand times or even ten thousand times worse.
Therefore, Tang Yu had no psychological burden when he implemented this plan.
The group of people arrived at a cemetery outside the city.
This cemetery has no signs or names, only rows of tombstones.
The tombstones bear the names of each of them.
In any case, it has left a trace in this world, no matter how small.
As soon as Tang Yu arrived, a smile appeared on his lips.
Because he had just discovered that every single tombstone was brand new and free of dust.
Even in front of many tombstones, offerings of fruit and food are placed.
Doesn't that further prove that someone has definitely been here?
And that person's identity was just like the one he had encountered—the surviving remnant of the Ji family.
This person among the nobles noticed the change in Tang Yu's expression.
His face lit up with joy, because he never expected that the traces he left after paying respects to his family would be discovered by Tang Yu.
But even though he was discovered, he was extremely excited inside.
If that's the case, wouldn't that prove that someone in the Ji family is still alive, and it's not the work of ghosts?
"Are your own parents and relatives exempt from being desecrated after death?"
But just as he was thinking this, Tang Yu's next resolute words shattered the illusion in his mind.
