Nightwatcher
Chapter 233 Defrauding the Corpse
Supervisor's breath?
Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, before he could ask a question, Yang Qianhuan's figure was lost in front of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, the desolate birdsong outside disappeared.
Then, the back of the white-clothed warlock returned to the cabin, his back was still facing Xu Qi'an, but he lowered his head, as if he was looking at something in his palm.
"The teacher sent me the bodiless pill." Yang Qianhuan's voice was full of bewilderment and bewilderment.
"Decapitation Pill?" Xu Qi'an asked back.
"Oh, do you know the allusion of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly?" Yang Qianhuan said.
"Butterfly breaking out of a cocoon is not an allusion, it's all a frankly old-fashioned little story, as familiar as the little story after the rain. Brother Yang, you can directly talk about the business." Xu Qi'an waved his hand, interrupting Yang Qianhuan's pretentiousness.
Yang Qianhuan's pretense was awkward and boring.
"Oh" Yang Qianhuan didn't care, he was actually a willful and gentle person, without the arrogance and airs of those high-grade powerhouses, he just liked to pretend to be a little bit aggressive.
"The main medicine of the Taitai Pill is the chrysalis of the Nine-Winged King Silk Butterfly, which is supplemented with a secret recipe to refine it into a elixir. Taking it can prolong your life and regenerate your body.
"It's not a lie to be reborn. After taking this medicine, you will fall into a deep sleep within half an hour, like a cocoon from a silkworm chrysalis. All the vitality in the body will be restrained, and the person will be in a state of suspended animation, and even the soul will be extinguished.
"During this process, the old body is like a cocoon, giving birth to a new body. That's why it's called the Bodiless Pill. However, this medicine is a life-saving panacea. The body has suffered severe injuries and can only be taken when it is on the verge of death."
I don't know if taking this elixir means that he is a virgin again? Xu Qi'an was surprised: "So powerful?"
"Mystery is miraculous, but it's not very practical." Yang Qianhuan shook his head: "Those who can kill me will not give me the chance to take the bodiless pill. High-level warriors have always been defeated in battle."
"Then take it normally?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"It's just prolonging life. At most, it's making the body better. Although it's not bad, compared to its high refining cost, it seems very tasteless. When the teacher comes, he can only refine one furnace, three grains That's all."
Xu Qi'an nodded suddenly, the medicinal value of this pill is not high, he wondered: "Why did the supervisor give you this thing?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Qi'an was stunned.
Yang Qianhuan was also stunned.
The two were silent for a while, and said in unison:
"It's not for me, is it?"
"Is it for you?"
There was another silence.
The teacher asked me to go to Yunzhou to take care of Xu Qi'an, and now he sent me the bodiless pill, but I don't need it at all. Junior sister Caiwei, a low-grade sorcerer, can't use it easily. It's not for Xu Qi'an, who else can I give it to?
It happened that Xu Qi'an came back to life from the dead, Zhengchou how to explain the reason, but at this time sent the bodiless pill
Thoughts flickered in Yang Qianhuan's mind.
This bodiless pill is obviously tailor-made for me, it just solves my current troubles, and Senior Brother Yang doesn't need this kind of pill at all But, how does Jianzheng know that I need bodiless pill?
He knows my current situation, knows that I am resurrected from the dead? Then, the supervisor probably knows that the broken arm of the monk Shenshu is inside me?
At this moment, Xu Qi'an's mind was running at high speed, and many details of the Sangbo case flashed by.
There are monster clans lurking in the Jiaofang Division, but the supervisor turns a blind eye to them.
The broken arm of the monk Shenshu escaped from the sangbo, and the supervisor pretended to be sick and stood by.
Heng Hui went on a killing spree in the capital, destroying the Pingyuan uncle's mansion. Although he has a magic weapon to shield the breath, can it shield the warlock's first-rank supervisor?
The remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom released the broken arm of the monk Shenshu, but secretly sent it to my residence, let it parasitize on me, and nourish the broken arm. This means that only I can warm and nourish the monk Shenshu in the capital, and the biggest secret in me is Odd luck.
In other words, the Yaozu knows the weirdness in me, but apart from beating a reptile and a gray fox in my life, I haven't had much contact with the Yaozu.
etc!
The supervisor knew about the weirdness in me, so he gave me a black gold long knife, and also gave me the unique knowledge of "Sword of Heaven and Earth" in a secret way.
Two guesses floated up in my heart: First, the prison is colluding with the Yaozu. Second, Jianzheng knew about Yaozu's plans, but for some reason chose to stand by and watch.
Xu Qi'an is more inclined to the first guess, because if it wasn't for the supervisor to reveal the secrets in his body to the Yaozu, how would the Yaozu know that he is special? I have never had close contact with Yaozu.
If it is said that Wei Yuan's gift to Xu Qi'an would be grateful and would accept it with peace of mind, then Jian Zheng's gift, to paraphrase a popular saying now:
All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced.
Yang Qianhuan flicked his fingers, and the bodiless pill fell into Xu Qi'an's arms, "Eat it, and you can go back to Beijing with peace of mind. When someone asks about it, just say it's a elixir given by Si Tianjian, you know it Life and death were unpredictable, so he took the Taibo Pill in advance.
"Then the effect of the medicine took effect, and you entered a state of rebirth, almost dead. Governor Zhang and others thought you died in battle, but in fact you just fell into a deep sleep."
"This is the best way at present, thank the supervisor for me." Xu Qi'an picked up the orange translucent bodiless pill and held it in the palm of his hand. Instead of taking it, he took out a few letters and said with a smile:
"This sleep is probably going to the capital. The smart Neptune will never let himself die socially."
After a pause, Xu Qi'an added: "At least you can't die a second time."
After finishing speaking, the air machine shook, and the letter was broken into scattered pieces of paper.
The official ship traveled through the snow curtain, broke through pieces of thin ice, and slowly sailed towards the capital.
At that time, the snow that had been falling all day and all night finally stopped.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wore a fox fur cloak and walked through the snow-covered scenery. He was handsome and tall, with an excellent appearance.
Although Xu Qi'an once slandered Emperor Yuan Jing's sons, Xu Dalang's reference point for none of them was not himself, but his younger brother Xu Erlang.
But in fact the prince is a handsome guy, Emperor Yuan Jing was very handsome when he was young, and Concubine Chen Gui was a peerless beauty, so there is a beautiful girl like Mount Mounted, and as a brother, the prince will naturally not be so bad.
When he came to Concubine Chen's palace, the prince untied the fox fur and handed it to the welcoming maid.
Entering the house, the room is as warm as spring, and the refreshing fragrance comes to the nostrils.
Concubine Chen Gui came out with a smile, bringing two maids in the palace, "Why didn't Lin'an come?"
The prince waved his hand, took his seat on his own, and drank and ate vegetables under the service of the maid.
"Well, this wine tastes good."
The prince was surprised.
"It's the Hundred Days Spring sent by the empress. It is nourishing and healthy. You should drink more." Concubine Chen Guifei smiled kindly and ordered the maid to pour the wine.
The mother and son talked and laughed while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Because Emperor Yuan Jing was obsessed with cultivating immortals and was not close to women, the harem had long been a pool of stagnant water, lonely and boring. Girls can't find a reason to start a war even if they want to fight.
Therefore, the prince and Lin'an often came to visit the concubine mother, eat and chat with her, and relieve her loneliness.
"Is Lin'an feeling unwell? The person I sent to invite her reported back that Lin'an was hiding in the room and seeing no one." Chen Guifei frowned lightly.
"Her," the prince sighed: "Mother, do you think Lin'an is old enough to get married?"
Concubine Chen was taken aback, and nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty is obsessed with cultivating the Tao, and doesn't care about your marriage. As the aunt, the empress lives in seclusion, and she doesn't even care about the affairs of the Fourth Prince and Huaiqing, let alone Lin'an. "
The crown prince chewed his food, nodded his head: "I think it's better to marry Lin'an as soon as possible."
Chen Guifei looked at the prince carefully, frowned and said, "Why did the prince say that?"
The prince didn't answer, just drank in silence.
He was very sure that Lin'an had a little affection for that Tongluo, the girl Huaichun was at the age of Lin'an, and Lin'an was the kind of petite and willful girl who was actually simple-minded, and was most likely to be deceived by others.
Usually no one dares to get close to her, so there has been no clue.
Once there is a man who is right for her, that kind of affection will breed and thrive.
Lin'an's recent moodiness is the evidence.
Fortunately, Tongluo had already died in the line of duty, but the prince also realized that Lin'an had reached the age to marry.
"Drink less, drink less" Concubine Chen advised with a frown.
Thinking about things in his heart, worrying about his sister's emotional problems, His Royal Highness unknowingly drank too much, and he felt waves of burning heat in his lower abdomen.
The beautiful maids around her also looked attractive at this moment.
"Mother and Concubine, I'm going back first." The prince hiccupped, got up and said goodbye.
The cold current hit his face, the outdoor air was fresh, and the cold wind was blowing, and the prince felt much more comfortable.
He returned with his guards. On the way, he saw a court lady standing by the side of the road and saw the prince and his party. He immediately greeted him and saluted:
"His Royal Highness, Concubine Fu, please go over and talk."
Shaoyin Palace.
Mounting pushed open the window, and in sight, the entire yard was covered with snow, pure and flawless.
The circles of her eyes were red and swollen like peaches. She just saw the letter sent by the dog servant and cried again.
The words and phrases in the letter are serious and humorous. When you read the letter, you can see the voice and smile of the dog slave in your mind.
But Lin'an knew that he would never see that smile again. After that person died in Yunzhou, he would lie in a cold coffin, float thousands of miles away, and return to the capital quietly and silently.
What made her even more sad was that, as her own princess, she couldn't even attend his funeral.
The cold wind was blowing on her face, icy cold to the bone, she stretched out her hand to touch it, and found tears came again.
"Why are you crying, it's just a dead dog slave, obviously it's just a dead dog slave" Zhuang Xiang wiped away his tears angrily, but the more he wiped away, the more he wiped away.
"Your Highness, Your Highness"
Anxious shouts came from outside, and Lin'an's personal maid knocked open the door with a "bang".
Her face was blue from the cold wind, and her thick cotton shoes were covered with dirty water stains and snow foam.
Lin An hurriedly turned to her side and frantically wiped away her tears, but what the palace maid said after that made her stunned.
"His Royal Highness is in prison."
With a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Lin'an exclaimed: "What?!"
Royal study.
Emperor Yuan Jing sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, Dali Siqing, Wei Yuan, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment stood in the hall. The identities of the three represented the highest three legal officials in Dafeng.
Wei Yuan is the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Your Majesty, this is the list given by Wu Zuo, please have a look." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment handed over Concubine Fu's autopsy report.
The eunuch took over the post-mortem and handed it over to Emperor Yuan Jing, who just glanced at it and asked expressionlessly:
"Has Concubine Fu been defiled?"
"This..." Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said in a low voice: "This is just a rough inspection, and I dare not disturb Concubine Fu's body. Your Majesty will ask the old mother in the palace to inspect it."
Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice, "Where's that beast?"
"His Royal Highness has been banned in the palace, waiting for His Majesty's decision."
"Send it to Dali Temple." Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at the three of them sharply, "I will get the result within three days."
"Your Majesty, this is a big matter, and I'm afraid it won't work in three days." Dali Temple Qing said.
"I will only give you three days." Emperor Yuan Jing said with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei's subordinates are full of talents and have repeatedly solved major cases. Why don't you transfer this case to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." The Minister of Criminal Affairs suggested.
Dali Siqing thinks it is very good.
"There are so many talented people, who are you referring to?" Wei Yuan calmly glanced at the two ministers, and then looked at Emperor Yuan Jing: "Those who can do things have already died in Yunzhou."
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple looked at each other. The gong that had repeatedly solved strange cases was broken in Yunzhou. A few days ago, the two secretly applauded.
Now that the person who dumped the pot is gone, the minister of the Ministry of punishment and the minister of Dali suddenly feel a little complicated.
Concubine Fu died, suspected of being insulted by the prince, she jumped down from the attic, smashed through the guardrail, and fell to her death.
The context of the case is as follows - this afternoon, the crown prince returned from drinking with Concubine Chen, and somehow went to Concubine Fu's Palace.
Then there was the incident of Concubine Fu falling to her death with disheveled clothes.
This matter is not only about the face of the royal family, once the crown prince's charges are confirmed, it will involve a dispute over the country, and the interests involved behind it are too complicated, and neither the Dali Temple Minister nor the Ministry of Punishment is willing to accept this hot potato.
Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, he knew that Wei Yuan was talking about Xu Qi'an, the Tongluo who died in Yunzhou. Usually, I just feel that the gong is an eyesore and disgusting.
But when there was a case, Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly discovered that the copper gong was actually very useful. What a pity to die.
"boom!"
Emperor Yuan Jing slapped the table and scolded angrily, "I have a lot of talents, without a gong, can't I solve the case?"
"Your Majesty forgive me."
The three ministers bowed at the same time.
At this time, an eunuch hurriedly walked outside the imperial study, bowed his head without crossing the threshold.
This means that there is something going on outside. Emperor Yuan Jing's position is facing the door, he can see the eunuch, but it is up to Emperor Yuan Jing to decide whether to summon him or not.
"What's going on outside?" Emperor Yuan Jing's tone was filled with repressed anger.
The eunuch hurriedly called the eunuch outside the door to come in.
"Report to Your Majesty, Princess Lin'an asks to see you." The eunuch said.
Princess Lin'an came to see her at this moment, so she knew it was for the prince without even thinking about it.
Emperor Yuan Jing pinched the center of his brows, "Let her go back, I won't see her for a few days."
The eunuch led the order to go out and came to the imperial study room, under the high steps, Lin'an, who was wearing a red fox fur cloak, had a round face, a charming and affectionate temperament, waited anxiously.
Accompanied by two personal maids.
"Second Princess, Your Majesty is gone, you should go back." The eunuch whispered.
Lin'an bit her lip, stubbornly refusing to leave.
She waited and waited outside the Imperial Study Room, and not long after, the number one person of the Sanfa Division came out, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said "Ouch":
"Your Highness, it's freezing cold, don't be stubborn, take care of your daughter's body, don't catch the cold."
Dali Temple Minister echoed: "When the snow melts, it is the coldest. Your bones can't stand the cold. What are you two doing stupidly? Take Your Highness back quickly."
Lin'an shook his head, but refused to leave.
The two court ladies were in a dilemma.
Wei Yuan wrapped himself in a robe and walked in front of Lin'an. Her nose was red from the cold, but because of her fair skin, it was pink, which made her look a little cute.
Da Qingyi said gently, "I have a few questions for Your Highness."
Wei Yuan is one of the very few powerful ministers who dare to call himself "I" in front of the royal nobles.
Lin'an's dull eyes moved, "Please speak, Mr. Wei."
"The princess and the prince often go to Chen Guifei's place?"
"My elder brother and I often go to accompany mother and concubine." Lin An sniffled.
"Drinking too?"
"have."
"Often drunk?"
"Not much, but the prince brother is indeed greedy."
"Did you have any contact with Concubine Fu in the past? Does the prince often wander around in other parts of the harem?"
"Naturally not." Lin'an said loudly: "Brother Prince knows that he is not a legitimate son, and has always acted carefully. How could he do such a rebellious thing."
Wei Yuan bowed, turned and left.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple followed.
The cold wind howled, Lin'an shivered, bit her lip, her shoulders were thin, her red dress was like fire, against the white snow, the picture was beautiful and desolate.
This wait is two hours.
His body gradually froze, his legs lost feeling, his lips turned blue, and Lin'an's heart seemed to be frozen.
"Why are you still here?" A familiar voice came from behind.
She twisted her neck stiffly, looking back, it was the annoying Huaiqing.
Huaiqing was wearing a beautiful white palace dress, embroidered with gorgeous plum blossoms, with straight breasts and a slender waist. His cool temperament perfectly blended with the white snow.
It seems to be a dusty fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Although there is no bronze mirror, Mount Mount knows that he is like a poor quail shivering in the cold wind.
Compete with each other.
"Are you coming to see my joke?" Mounting turned his head aggrieved, not letting tears flow down.
Huaiqing looked cold, looked at the two maids, and said: "How do you serve His Highness the Second Highness, come here, drag down and die."
"Here!"
The guards behind Huaiqing immediately stepped out.
"Stop!" Lin'an turned around abruptly, intending to stop her, but she overestimated herself, her legs were frozen stiff, she staggered and fell to the ground.
Lin'an was in a hurry and cried out, "Huaiqing, you dare to kill my people?"
Huaiqing came over, looked down at her condescendingly, and said indifferently: "Miss dereliction of duty, even if I kill you now, Father will not say a word about me.
"I'll give you two choices, either continue to stand here, I'm too lazy to care about you, but I'm going to kill you. Or go back, don't be ashamed of yourself here."
Mounted stood up with the help of the maid, Xu was unwilling to admit defeat in front of Huaiqing, she wiped away her tears, pushed the two maids away, and stared at Huaiqing:
"I don't believe that brother Prince would do such a thing."
"What does it have to do with me?" Huaiqing said with a cold face.
She choked for a moment, bit her lip, staggered forward, took a few steps, paused, did not turn around, and said unwillingly:
"If he is still there, he will definitely clear my prince brother's innocence."
Hong Yi stumbled away.
Watching Lin'an's back, gradually drifting away, Princess Huaiqing let out a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, the second princess doesn't appreciate it, why bother?"
The chief guard said helplessly.
"Do I need her to thank you?" Huaiqing snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty is really cruel to let the second princess stand outside for so long." said the chief guard.
Huaiqing's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Go back and slap fifty."
The head guard suddenly came to his senses, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Dadongong's back, "Damn the humble job."
When the snow melted, the official ship transporting the bones of the men killed in the line of duty arrived at Quguan outside the capital. After inspection, they entered the capital along the canal and berthed at the capital wharf.
The three gongs on the official ship moved the coffin carrying the corpses of their colleagues off the ship, hired several carts to transport the goods, and several porters.
Yinluo Minshan squinted, standing on the pier, looking at the still bustling capital city, his heart was filled with the vicissitudes of life, the change of things and the change of people.
Every time this Yunzhou comes and goes, there are a few fewer old friends.
The fortunes and misfortunes of the world change, and the fate changes, which makes people helpless.
All the way back to the yamen, handing over the five coffins to the department specialized in accepting victims, Yinluo Minshan went into the side hall and poured himself a cup of hot water.
In the inner hall where the coffin was parked, several officials pushed the coffin away, and a faint smell of decay came out.
The body was well preserved in the cold weather, but it was still beginning to rot.
Several officials were used to seeing corpses, took pills to drive away evil spirits and ward off poison, put on sweat towels that covered their nose and mouth, and chatted while verifying their integrity.
"Three silver gongs died at once, the loss is really heavy."
"Yunzhou has rebelled, which is already a small loss. But it's a pity for Xu Tongluo."
"Yes, although he has only been employed for a few months, he is already a man of influence in the yamen. Who doesn't know that Wei Gong appreciates him, so he just left."
"Hey, you said how would the oirans of the Jiaofang Division react when they heard the news of Xu Tongluo's death?"
"Women in Fengyue place, what kind of affection can we say?"
"But Fuxiang is Xu Tongluo's good friend."
"Why do you know that Fuxiang is Xu Tongluo's good friend?"
"No one in the capital knows."
"Hey, Xu Tongluo's corpse is the most well-preserved, and the rancid smell is indistinguishable."
"Let me see, oh, the skin is broken as soon as you rub it, cover it back and cover it back."
After a stick of incense, the official who had washed his hands and face came to Min Shan and said, "Min Yinluo, the number of relics is consistent with the list. You can leave after the verification is completed."
Min Shan nodded slightly, turned around and left.
Haoqi Building.
The sound of thumping footsteps came, and a black-clothed official went upstairs, whispered a few words to his colleagues who were guarding outside, and then turned and went downstairs.
The officials on duty outside came in and reported respectfully: "Wei Gong, the official ship from Yunzhou has arrived, and the bones of the three silver gongs and the two bronze gongs have been sent back to the yamen, and they have been verified to be correct."
Wei Yuan looked up, fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Send each to your relatives."
He didn't mention the relics, even though he knew that the fragments of the book from the ground were on Xu Qi'an's body.
Star Observation Building, Eight Diagrams Platform.
A figure in white clothes appeared on the stage, accompanied by a clear and long chant: "Pick the stars with the bright moon in your hand, the world"
The voice suddenly froze, and I couldn't vomit it out.
A few seconds later, Yang Qianhuan said weakly, "Teacher, I'm back."
"Yeah." The supervisor didn't look back.
The master and apprentice faced back to back and did not hug each other.
"Xu Qi'an has returned to Beijing smoothly. This trip to Yunzhou is safe and secure." After Yang Qianhuan finished speaking, seeing that the supervisor did not speak, he asked:
"Then what happened to Xu Qi'an? He was able to come back from the dead, why do you value him so much?
"Also, there is actually a third-rank warlock in Yunzhou, um, at least a third-rank warlock, but besides us, Si Tianjian, where else is there a warlock of this level in the world?"
The supervisor smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about Xu Qi'an's affairs, you can make up your own mind as a teacher."
Junior Sister Caiwei is right, you are a bad old man, very bad, Yang Qianhuan secretly slandered.
"As for that guy in Yunzhou, you don't have to worry about it. Even if the teacher tells you, you won't hear it." Jianzheng said.
Yang Qianhuan was about to leave when the supervisor's helpless voice came from behind him: "Release Song Qing for the teacher."
"What did Song Qing do again?"
"He made a man."
"" Yang Qianhuan was amazed: "Song Qing is the first person to develop alchemy to this level."
Then, he criticized: "However, his personality flaws are too great, he has a stubborn temper, and he refuses to be promoted."
Where are you going to watch the corner of your mouth twitch.
"Take care of him for the teacher, don't let him do stupid things again, in a few days, your fifth junior sister will leave the customs. The second child is not in the capital, so take care of your juniors and younger sisters." Jian Zheng said.
"Fifth Junior Sister is out of customs? She, like me, successfully promoted to the fourth rank and became a formation master?" Yang Qianhuan was pleasantly surprised.
"It's still far away."
"Since that's the case, is the fifth brother going to die?" Yang Qianhuan was taken aback.
"The opportunity for her promotion has arrived." The supervisor said meaningfully.
Xu Mansion.
There is a white banner hanging on the plaque at the gate, and the red lanterns are replaced by white lanterns.
After receiving the pension, Xu's mansion began to arrange the funeral, but they didn't know the exact time when Dalang's body would be returned to the capital, and the people in the mansion hadn't worn mourning clothes yet.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in the house has been very heavy, the master has become taciturn, the wife weeps from time to time, Erlang pretends to be calm, but is often in a daze. Miss Lingyue lost all energy. Miss Lingyin was so thin that she had a melon-seeded face.
In the first two days, Xiao Douding often woke up crying in the middle of the night, clamoring to find his elder brother.
A child's world is very small, just a few family members. Suddenly one is missing, and the world is incomplete.
This morning, everyone in the Xu family finally waited for Da Lang's bones. He was lying in a coffin and was transported back to the mansion by a cart.
When Xu Pingzhi received the news, he rushed out like crazy, but when he saw the coffin on the cart, he suddenly didn't dare to go forward.
Xu Pingzhi walked to the side of the coffin, stretched out his hand, and pressed the coffin board
Tong Luo, who was in charge of delivering the bones, glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Master Xu, let's talk about it after entering the mansion."
Xu Pingzhi suddenly came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said "En".
Once seeing Dalang's bones, the family might not be able to bear it anymore. Weeping at the gate, the living and the dead would lose face.
The coffin was delivered to the mourning hall. The atmosphere here made the watchman a little suffocated, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he cupped his fists and said, "Master Xu, I will take my leave first."
Xu Pingzhi responded hoarsely: "No."
In the mourning hall, sisters Aunt, Erlang, and Xu Lingyue stared at the coffin silently. No one made a sound, as if they were waiting for something.
Xu Pingzhi knew that as the head of the family, he had to do some things. For example, he was the first to face the bones of his nephew and face the surging sadness.
The coffin board was slowly pushed away, and Xu Qi'an was lying in the coffin, his skin was dry and lost luster, and the color of his lips faded.
It has been dead for a long time.
The slightest bit of luck in my heart was shattered, and even though I was mentally prepared, at this moment, the whole family was still engulfed by the frenzy of grief.
Aunt and Xu Lingyue supported the coffin and wailed loudly. Second Uncle Xu was a little unsteady and his mouth was trembling. Xu Erlang turned his head away, not to look at the face of his eldest brother, his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white.
Xu Lingyin leaned forward slightly, poked her head out, opened her hands behind her back, and cried "Aoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" towards the coffin.
It's so noisy, who the hell is making me sleep, Xu Qi said in peace.
He seemed to be floating in the boundless void, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and had nothing to rely on. There were only loud cries in my ears.
I should have gone home. Is the cry from my aunt? Oh, my aunt actually cried for me? Her catchphrase is not: Xu Ning feasts on you bastard, you are my old lady's enemy in her previous life, Xu Qi'an who wants to collect debts in this life thinks in a daze.
He could distinguish the cries of his aunt and two younger sisters from the cries.
The crying went on for a long time, and then it turned into a choke, into a sob.
Time passed and it was getting dark.
Xu Qi'an learned this through the conversation between Ershu and Erlang.
Relatives and friends of Xu's family will not be able to come to pay their respects to Xu Dalang's remains until tomorrow, and tonight it will be his family members who will keep a vigil for him.
This should be the second time I died. The first time was due to alcohol poisoning. The 120G wife didn’t delete it. It’s embarrassing to think about it. Fortunately, there are no computers and mobile phones in this world. Oh, there are brothels and Jiaofangsi in this world, hard drives The wife is useless.
Tomorrow the whole village will come to my house for dinner Huaiqing and Lin'an are princesses, their identities are inconvenient, if they can't come, Caiwei will definitely come, if she doesn't come, then I will get divorced when I wake up Will Fuxiang come? Oh, she probably didn't know about my "death".
"Mother, go back to your room and rest first, my second brother and I will stay here to guard the spirit of elder brother." Xu Lingyue cried.
Then it was my aunt who spoke: "Your elder brother has been floating on the river for so long, and when he returns home, he can no longer be left alone. Mother is fine, and mother will stay here.
"When your father handed him over to me, he was as big as a slap. How could I have any experience in taking care of children? Your father was a big soldier, and he didn't have much money, so he couldn't afford a nurse. I boiled goat milk for him. drink, take care of him in a hurry every day"
Speaking of this, my aunt felt sad.
Xu Qi'an suddenly realized that his aunt actually loved him, although the quarrel between the aunt and nephew was very stiff and unpleasant.
Xu Qi'an was a little moved.
"The older you get, the more annoying you become. Of the three of you, he is the ugliest and most capable of being a monster. Whenever I greet you and Erlang, he will be jealous. He thinks that his mother treats him badly, and he is a motherless child."
"Stop talking." Second Uncle Xu said angrily.
"Why can't you say it." The aunt screamed, "My mother dragged him to grow up with feces and piss, and if he said nothing, he would be gone. If I had known, I might as well have raised a mouse."
Weeping loudly.
"Master, madam." The concierge old Zhang hurried over, stood outside the mourning hall, and said, "A girl came outside and said she wanted to guard Da Lang's spirit."
who?
This doubt flashed in Xu Qi'an's heart, and at the same time flashed in the hearts of the second uncle and aunt.
"She said her name was Fuxiang." said the gatekeeper Lao Zhang.
Uncle Xu and Xu Dalang turned dark at the same time.
Xu Qi'an who doesn't go to Goulan, the gentleman Xu Erlang, and the beloved wife of the Gu family Xu Pingzhi Xu Qi'an smiles bitterly in his heart.
Second Uncle Xu glanced at his wife and nodded slightly: "I'll meet her outside."
The aunt looked at her husband's back, wiped her tears, and asked her son beside her, "Erlang, who is that Fuxiang?"
Just listening to the name, she is not a serious girl.
Xu Erlang had a strong nasal voice, and said: "Fuxiang is the oiran of Jiaofang, and it is said that he admires elder brother's poetic talent very much."
Lan Xinhui's stubborn Xu Lingyue frowned, and came to the door late at night, and had to keep watch for her elder brother, the relationship might be unusual.
Uncle Xu saw Fuxiang in the front hall. She was wearing a white dress and a white flower on her head, and she was extremely plainly dressed.
The moment he saw Floating Fragrance, Second Uncle Xu's annoyance suddenly dissipated, because this woman had a mournful expression, pink eye circles, and the sadness between her brows could not be faked.
"Miss Fuxiang, why are you visiting at night?" Second Uncle Xu said in a deep voice.
"Master Xu, I want to guard Xu Lang's spirit." Fu Xiang stood up and saluted.
"It's inappropriate." Second Uncle Xu refused on the spot.
Although Xu's family is not a scholarly family, they are still a respectable family with rules. Floating incense has no name or distinction, so why should they guard Dalang's spirit.
"When the slave's family entered the mansion, they sent away the subordinates of the Jiaofang Division. Now the inner city cannot go back, and the outer city is not safe. If Mr. Xu must drive me away, then I will go." Fuxiang said softly .
Xu Pingzhi sighed, this woman really has deep affection for Da Lang.
When she came to the mourning hall and saw Xu Qi'an's remains, Fu Xiang, who had been trying to keep calm, finally broke down. Today she just got news from the procuress of the Jiaofang Division, knowing the sad news of Xu Qi'an's death in the line of duty.
Passed out on the spot, and cried for a long time after waking up, intending to send Xu Qi'an off for the last time.
Hearing Fuxiang's mournful cry, Xu Lingyue suddenly realized the relationship between this woman and her elder brother.
Fuxiang didn't stay in Xu's mansion to guard the spirit, and left in a very sensible way. Xu Pingzhi originally wanted to keep her at the mansion overnight, but he didn't expect that what Fuxiang said just now was a lie to him. How could the Secretary of Jiaofang let an oiran out of sight.
The reason why Fu Xiang said that was because she was afraid that the Xu family would not agree with her to take one last look at Xu Qi'an.
The next day, relatives and friends of the Xu family came to express their condolences.
Xu Qi'an's grandfather had only two sons, and Xu's elder had been killed in battle for twenty years. Now that his son had also died in the line of duty, the incense of this line was cut off.
The members of the Xu family sighed.
In addition to Xu's family members, Xu Qi'an's former immediate boss, Changle County Magistrate Zhu and Wang Butou also came.
After paying his respects to the remains, County Magistrate Zhu sighed, "Ning Yan died young, what a pity, what a pity."
Wang Butou and the others were full of sadness and sighs.
"I wonder if Ning Yan left any last words?" County Magistrate Zhu asked.
Xu Pingzhi shook his head.
If possible, I would like to experience a black man carrying the coffin. Xu Qi'an said humorously. His consciousness has gradually recovered, but his body is still in a state of suspended animation.
"Miss Caiwei, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, Xu Erlang's sullen voice came.
Then, it was Chu Caiwei's voice: "I, I just want to make sure"
Her voice sounded sad.
Jinluo Nangong Qianrou and Zhang Kaitai also offered condolences. When looking at the remains, Lao Zhang sighed and said: "Such a man of heaven died halfway. Wei Gong was in a bad mood recently, which is inevitable."
Zhang Kaitai was one of the few golden gongs who knew Xu Qian's qualifications.
"Bad guy."
Xu Lingyin yelled at Nangong Qianrou, and was quickly taken down by Lu'e.
At this time, Xu Qi'an suddenly heard an exclamation: "See Princess Huaiqing for the humble job."
There was a silence inside and outside the mourning hall, and then voices shouting "Meet the princess" came and went one after another.
Everyone in the Xu clan was stunned. What's going on? Xu Dalang's funeral actually came to the current princess?
At this moment, the regret of the members of the Xu clan was unprecedentedly strong. It turned out that Da Lang even knew the princess. If there were no accidents, he would surely have a smooth career in the future.
Maybe the Xu family will become a big family in the capital. At that time, the family will be honored and the whole family will be able to ascend to heaven.
Xiangxiang didn't come, um, she was a canary kept in a cage, not as free as Huaiqing.
My lotus girl, all three gathered at once
For no reason, Xu Dalang thought of a joke he had seen in his previous life: A certain rich second generation passed away unexpectedly. On the day of mourning, all his girlfriends came. This one had aborted his baby; Eight, I followed him three years ago; that one abandoned her husband and son for him again
Gradually, the funeral turned into a rally for the rich second generation to criticize and struggle.
Fortunately, the rich second generation is really dead.
"You guys must not talk about the letter, otherwise it would be meaningless for me to come back to life." Xu Qi'an thought anxiously.
What are you afraid of?
Chu Caiwei was a little sad: "When he was in Qingzhou, he wrote to me and told me about the local food. After I read the letter, I was so angry that I wanted to stab him to death with chopsticks, but I never thought that he would really die."
Hearing this, Xu Lingyue raised her head in surprise, twitched her red nose from crying, and said with a sob: "Brother also wrote it for me."
Huaiqing said lightly, "I have also received it."
After speaking, the three women fell silent at the same time.
Xu Qi'an: ""
Huaiqing's heart moved, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Then does he have any?"
At this moment, a shrill meow came, attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the mourning hall.
With its tail upright, an orange cat passed through the crowd, entered the mourning hall, and threw itself at Xu Qi'an's coffin.
A member of the Xu clan exclaimed: "Stop the cat quickly, the cat will cheat the dead by jumping over the dead."
The faces of the rest of the Xu clan changed drastically.
Chu Caiwei and others in Lin'an, Huaiqing, who were closest, didn't take this statement seriously, so they didn't stop it immediately.
"Meow~"
The orange cat flew over Xu Qi'an's head, screaming terribly. A voice exploded in Xu Qi'an's mind: "Xu Qi'an, wake up!"
It was Daoist Jinlian who came. Xu Qi'an's soul shook, and he felt that the soul and the body began to blend and fit together.
The next moment, he regained his consciousness and regained the sense of solidity in controlling his physical body.
He felt itchy on his face, so he raised his hand to scratch, and grabbed a large piece of dried flesh.
I was able to move Xu Qi'an was overjoyed and sat up from the coffin.
Inside and outside the mourning hall, there was a dead silence.
Get up, get up, get up? !
In the eyes of everyone, this scene was horrifying and terrifying.
"I, my mother really cheated!!!"
Someone screamed.
Ask for a monthly pass.
