In the eighth month, the ancestral tomb of former dynasty Cabinet Minister Ning of the Xia clan in Wuxing was dug up by unknown persons and the coffin was opened, only to be found empty—and Cui Changxiao once went to Wuxing in disguise.
So Cabinet Minister Ning really did fake his death.
Coincidentally, Cui Changxiao had once gone to Wuxing; did he go there because he had found something out, and was he the one who dug up the grave, thus bringing death upon himself?
Regardless of that, the news that Cabinet Minister Ning had faked his death was exhilarating enough.
Emperor Chu immediately gave orders, commanding the imperial envoy to raid and investigate the Ning Family of Wuxing, and to escort all members of their nine clans back to the capital.
