T/N First time dividing a chapter because it was becoming too long.

“After returning home, Su Gongzi was quite generous and helped many of his old friends!” Li Zheng, the guide, walked in front, pushing aside the weeds, and said, “Later, when chatting with those friends who were helped by him, they suggested that we move the tomb of the merchant surnamed Wen, Su Gongzi’s adoptive father, to Chang’an, to save the trouble of arranging for others to sweep the tomb every year. It would be inconvenient! Besides, it would also be a way for him to show his filial piety. After all, it was such a large sum of money…”

What kind of person Su Gongzi was back then has been confirmed by the old people at that time. Just as Doctor Su said, he was a gangster.

His friends back then were naturally all gangsters. They were either frequent customers of gambling houses or lazy guys who stayed at home and relied on their elderly parents for food.

“We should indeed help people, but we should help those who should be helped!” Wei Fu couldn’t help shaking his head when he heard this, and said, “It’s encouraging the bad habits of lazy people and gamblers!”

The village head who led the way could not help but say awkwardly, “It’s Su Gongzi’s own money after all. What he does with it, can we outsiders say anything?”

Wei Fu glanced at the embarrassed village chief and said, “No wonder you are so embarrassed. Keep talking!”

The head of the village nodded, coughed lightly, and continued: “Anyway when this was mentioned, Su Gongzi immediately nodded and said that this was the right thing to do! Moreover, he not only wants to move the grave of his good adoptive father here, but also the graves of his adoptive mother, sister, and brother!”

“With this move, all the graves of those people were moved to Chang’an. Su Gongzi said that he needed to find a place where he could be seen at a glance so that his adoptive father and others could see him all the time.” The head of the village said, pointing to a few tombstones not far ahead, and said, “So we chose this place!”

Wei Fu looked around and saw only a few lonely tombstones besides weeds.

Looking at the barren land, he frowned and asked the village head, “Since Su Gongzi is so particular about filial piety, why didn’t he find a Feng Shui master to look at the burial place of his adoptive father and mother? Is the Feng Shui of this place good?”

He didn’t understand Feng Shui, but if it was really a good place, how could it be so desolate? It would have been scrambled for as a Feng Shui treasure land!

The village head was choked by Wei Fu’s question, touched the back of his head awkwardly, and said, “Your Excellency, what you said seems to make some sense!”

Su Gongzi was clamoring to show his filial piety, but why did he choose such a place to do so? It didn’t make sense!

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the grave. Looking at the overgrown tombstone in front of them, Wei Fu turned to look at the village head and said, “He lives so close, didn’t he have time to even pull out a weed?”

The embarrassment on the village head’s face was about to overflow, and he could only explain dryly: “I don’t know that. Even Doctor Su can’t control his family’s affairs!” He is just a village head, what can he do?

Wei Fu walked around the tombstones twice and raised his hand to call the village head over.

The village head didn’t understand what was going on, so he went over to take a look and saw several black footprints.

Wei Fu pointed at the footprints and asked, “Is this the way to show filial piety?”

Village head: “This…”

Looking at the speechless headman, Wei Fu suddenly became serious: “There are so many suspicions along the way. I, the Dali Temple, suspect that there is something wrong with the money in the hands of Su Gongzi who returned home in glory. The death of the merchant surnamed Wen may also have other hidden stories!”

The head of the village, who had been suspicious since Wei Fu pointed out the problems along the way, hurriedly said, “Your Excellency is right! A good gangster suddenly became a filial son, but his filial piety is full of loopholes. There are indeed some problems…”

Seeing the headman in front of him pale with fear, fearing that he would be implicated, Wei Fu stopped while he was ahead and said, “Go and call those hooligans who were helped by Su Gongzi. I have something to ask them!”

The head of the village heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he would not be held accountable, and then immediately patted his chest and assured: “Yes, yes! Don’t worry, sir, I will call them all in without exception!

Wei Fu hummed, his eyes falling on the tombstones in the desolate bushes. The wind blew, and a chill arose spontaneously.
