Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1699 All the mourners cried

"Uncle and aunt, please go back. My family has done its best to be benevolent and righteous. You can't be too greedy." Bai Zehao said and shook his head, which was equivalent to acquiescing to the guard's guess.

Zhang's face turned green with anger, and she suddenly pointed at Bai Zehao and said, "I know, you must have sent someone to steal it. I wonder why you are so generous, but it is so wilted!"

Bai Zehao thought of his younger sister's explanation and said without any flaws on his face: "Aunt, there is no such injustice. Your village is quite far away from us. No one inside or outside this mansion has ever left the village. Why are you Can you rely on us? If you insist on saying that we did it, then report it to the officials, and they will naturally check it out."

He said and looked at Lin Jiang again, "Even if the money is not really lost, the county magistrate will have to punish you for false reporting. You should think carefully and go home and look for it, don't hide it somewhere."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but look at Lin Jiang and wondered in her heart, isn't it the dead man in her family who secretly hid the money and raised a woman outside?

Lin Jiang was also a little worried. If the Zhang family was hiding, they would also be punished if the official reported it, so they both became suspicious, but it was not as noisy as before.

"That's all I'm saying, I'll take my leave now." Bai Zehao bowed to the two of them, and then returned to the yard. The door of Bai's house was also closed tightly, and no one paid attention to what was going on outside.

The onlookers said anything. Of course, almost all of them accused the Lin family of being greedy, and even suspected that they had not lost any money at all.

Lin Jiang and Zhang left with worries, and soon people in their village also knew about it. However, someone secretly climbed up the Lin family's courtyard wall to take a look, and found that almost all the gifts they brought back from the Bai family were there. Could it be that The thief only steals the money, but doesn't he take something else with him?

Soon, Mrs. Zhang found the ruler at home that she thought she had lost. She really liked the design and color, so although she was in great pain, she made a dress out of the ruler and wore it happily.

Although the Lin family was separated from Houshan Village by several villages, gossip was never afraid of spreading quickly. Soon someone said that the Lin family must not have been stolen. Zhang said that the lost rulers had come out again, and the money that could not be saved was also found.

In the end, the Lin family did not report to the official because they found that their second son was missing and were busy looking for Lin Shengye. They even went to the Bai family twice to cause trouble. Although Lin Ping'er hated them, she still ordered Bai Ruozhu to He and Bai Zehao helped find the person, but they didn't know if they were looking for it too late or if Lin Shengye had some opportunities. Bai Ruozhu asked the Chamber of Commerce to search for the person, but they couldn't find any information.

Over in the capital, today is the day for the funeral of Mr. Jiangge of the Jiang family. Many people and scribes gathered around the Jiang Mansion. On the one hand, they want to see how the Jiang family will handle the matter of the old man being forced to die. On the other hand, at this time People admire loyal people, and many people admire Mr. Jiangge's righteous deeds.

Especially the literati were very particular about their integrity. Some even said that if King Rui dared to send people to stop Mr. Jiang Ge from being buried, they would fight the officers and soldiers, and let King Rui step on their corpses and become famous throughout the ages.

"If dad knew that his death could inspire the people's spirit of struggle, he would have closed his eyes." Jiang Xuexiang said with red eyes and a choked voice.

Jiang Yihong, who was accompanying him, clenched his fists tightly and said, "Dad, I heard that the soul does not leave so quickly after death. Grandpa will see it."

Jiang Xuexiang nodded, "Your grandfather has always paid attention to integrity and uprightness throughout his life. You must also act upright in the future and never let down his expectations for you."

"Dad, I remember." Jiang Yihong said and started crying again.

Jiang Xuexiang also wiped his tears, "Okay, let's get ready, it's time for the funeral."

Jiang Yihong glanced outside and said angrily: "My cousin and uncle are hiding far away at this time. During the years when grandpa raised them, they didn't even want to see him off! My eldest brother is not in Beijing. Otherwise he will definitely find a way to do it.”

Jiang Yihong didn't know that Jiang Yichun had returned to Beijing. Jiang Yichun had only secretly contacted Jiang Xuexiang. To be more secure, Jiang Xuexiang didn't tell anyone at home and only planned to talk about it the night before leaving. Anyway, the family was poor and there was nothing to deal with.

However, due to Mr. Jiang Ge's death, the originally planned date could only be postponed temporarily.

"He won't come." Jiang Xuexiang muttered in a daze, as if talking to himself. When he asked Jiang Yichun, Jiang Yichun said so.

Jiang Yihong didn't hear what his father said clearly and didn't think much about it. His mind was filled with hatred for Prince Rui. Unfortunately, he didn't have much martial arts skills and couldn't avenge his grandfather at all. He really regretted that he didn't practice martial arts well since childhood. What's the use of reading those books?

It wasn't until a long time later that someone told him: "Fighting doesn't have to be just with swords and guns. You can also join the fight by picking up the pen in your hand. Words are also a kind of power."

After that, Jiang Yihong realized that he was still useful. It was not until decades later that he became a gray-haired old censor. He still remembered the events of those years and kept reminding himself that he must act with his conscience in mind. Let’s start with the grandfather who was killed in the Golden Palace, and the parents who raised him and the people who helped and encouraged him.

There were not many people in the Jiang family, and no relatives showed up. Jiang Xuexiang took his wife and children to Fuling, followed by the servants of the mansion, and walked forward with tears on his face.

But soon the crying became louder and louder, and Jiang Xuexiang was in grief. No matter how much she cared about it, Mrs. Jiang noticed that the common people and scribes on both sides were crying. It was not the kind of pretense howling, but real falling. cried.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help crying even harder. Although she had always disliked her father-in-law's stubbornness and rottenness, she admired him in this matter and had a complete change in her view of him.

But so what? Everyone is dead.

Not only were there many onlookers along the way, but there were also many officers, soldiers and dragon guards hiding secretly. King Rui felt that Jiang Yichun or Tang Yin's people had sneaked into the capital, so he sent a large number of people to watch the movements of the Jiang family, hoping to catch them all. .

Prince Rui, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could not help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard the report from the people below and knew that Mr. Jiangge had been buried.

"He even risked his life for Tang Yin. I don't believe that Tang Yin didn't send someone to see him off. Doesn't this make Mr. Jiangge feel chilled?"

The eyeballs of the chamberlain next to him moved, but he didn't dare to say anything to remind him that you haven't ascended the throne yet, so you can't call yourself "I".

Unfortunately, until Mr. Jiang Ge was buried, there was no movement. The Yulong Guards who were hiding in the dark hardly spared anyone present, but no matter how carefully they checked, they could not find the shadow of Jiang Yichun. Perhaps Prince Rui guessed that Wrong, Jiang Yichun was not in Beijing to begin with? ——
