Chapter 70 Xu Guang is dead
Back to West City.
Bai Xiu found Jiang An over.
"How many days will the third brother come back?"
Jiang An calculated with his fingers.
"It will take about three more days."
"Go and send me some information and let the third brother come back overnight. I have something to discuss with him."
The third brother, named Bai Han, is Bai Xiu's younger brother. The so-called brothers are united and their strength is to cut off gold. Therefore, at the critical moment, Bai Xiu still believed in his own brothers.
Noon.
Weixian.
Chen Buyi brought Feng Wu, Men Liang and others, and put on casual clothes and found the county government effortlessly.
But the scene in front of him stunned him.
The entire county government was covered with white silk, and people entering and leaving were all dressed in white, and bursts of crying came from the yard.
There was a long line at the entrance of the county government office, and everyone was holding some paper money in their hands.
Further away, there were many people watching.
He kept pointing at the county government office.
What happened?
Chen Buyi suddenly had an unknown premonition.
"My man, what's wrong with this county government?"
Chen Buyi gently patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
The man turned around and looked at him, "Brother, you don't know yet, County Magistrate Xu suddenly died of illness."
"Ah, Lord Xu is dead."
Chen Buyi opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Hey, Lord Xu is a good official."
"Yes, God has no eyes. I won't say anything. I'm going to buy some paper money and give it to Lord Xu for a ride."
After saying that, the man kept shook his head and sighing, leaving.
Alas, what's the fucking thing?
I don’t know how to feel a little overwhelmed.
Forget it, since I am here, I will give you a gift to Lord Xu. Although you don’t know each other before, I have been supported by so many people. I think I must be a clean official.
It turns out that the dead man's business is the best. Not far away, the papyrus shop set up a table to sell paper money.
It took half an hour to wait until Chen Buyi entered the county government office.
As soon as you enter the gate, a simple spiritual shed is built in the middle of the yard.
Inside the monastery, his close relatives were kneeling on both sides.
A brazier was placed in the middle, and the ashes inside were almost overflowing.
This is enough to show that there is already a lot of paper money burned out.
Inside, there is a black coffin.
Alas, Lord Xu, Lord Xu, I see you coming.
Think about myself, my family in my previous life, maybe I have experienced such sadness.
This situation is so deep that it is hard to help but feel sad.
As soon as I thought about this, tears flowed down my face.
When he arrived in front of the spirit, Chen Buyi was not polite. He knelt down on the ground with a gurgle, imitating the people ahead, and while crying, he slowly put the paper money in his hand into the brazier.
Although the people in front of them come to pay tribute, they are mostly howling, but they are not easy to feel sad and affectionate when they touch the scene. They think of themselves, so they cry sincerely, and the tears flow down their tears and noses.
While crying, his eyes kept observing the situation in the spirit shed.
Soon, he realized something was wrong.
Although these close relatives looked sad, they obviously did not reach the level of bereavement.
Among them, there were two people who took advantage of the dilemma that they were not easy to kowtow and quietly stuffed them into their mouths to eat.
After looking closer, the coffin lid in front of me was slightly staggered, leaving a gap.
Obviously, this is unreasonable, so where can there be such a coffin?
Seeing that Chen Buyi had not yet gotten up after so long, Xu Qing, the eldest son of Xu Guang, who was kneeling beside him, was also moved. He stood up and came to Chen Buyi, and gently patted his shoulder, "Brother, I feel sorry for you."
Chen Buyi wiped his tears while obediently being helped up by Xu Qing.
As he was so close, Chen Buyi suddenly realized that although Xu Qing was wearing a mourning uniform outside, the clothes inside were actually red.
Red, this was the color of a happy event in ancient times, and Xu Qing was also in his twenties or thirties, so it was impossible not to understand.
After walking out of the county government office, I found a corner of the wall, Chen Buyi squatted down and fell into deep thought.
Xu Guang died very soon. He died after he was on his feet.
And here we are here to accept the people's memorial service.
But after walking down this circle, I found so many strange places.
Finally, Chen Buyi made a bold inference that Xu Guang was pretending to die.
He must have wanted to use his own death to cover up something.
In order to confirm his judgment, Chen Buyi decided to live in Weixian today. He waited until the evening and took advantage of the night to visit the county government.
Chang'an City, at sunset.
Princess Zhaoning, dressed in casual clothes, brought the Cuizhu and the Baozhu.
After carrying a few items sent by the Queen of Kings, he quietly left Anning Palace.
Several people went straight to Qixuanzhai.
When Qi Qiang saw a few strange young women coming, he couldn't help but feel happy.
This is what the maid from the family stole the owner's belongings and sold them.
For such a novice, it is just a casual slaughter.
Sure enough, Zhaoning carefully took out a tortoiseshell headdress from his sleeve.
Over there, Baozhu and Cuizhu also took out a vase.
Seeing these objects, Qi Qiang's eyes immediately widened.
These objects are so exquisitely crafted and exquisitely crafted that they are rare in the world. Obviously, they are not objects in ordinary mansions.
If you look at the clothes of these people carefully, although they are dressed by servants, they are also of high-quality silk.
Could it be that it came from the palace?
Hehe, I should be considered a fortune by Qi Qiang. Not only do I want to keep these treasures, I also want to turn you palace maids into my old Qi's harem.
As soon as he thought of this, Qi Qiang deliberately frowned.
"Three, this is not an ordinary object."
Speaking of this, Qi Qiang moved forward and said in an extremely low voice.
"These objects are from the palace."
Seeing these three people looking at him in surprise, Qi Qiang was secretly happy, which was enough to confirm his judgment.
Zhao Ning was shocked. The shopkeeper was indeed not simple, and he immediately recognized that he was from the palace.
"Well, shopkeeper, don't worry about so much, just say how much it is."
Cuizhu next to her was very clever, afraid that the night was long and the dreams would be too long, so she could take the money and leave.
"How much!"
Qi Qiang couldn't help laughing.
"Three, although I don't know much about the rules in this palace, I also know that bringing it out for business without permission is a crime of beheading."
After saying that, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious face.
"If I go to sue the official, the three of them may not be able to save their heads."
After hearing what he said, Zhaoning was so angry that he suddenly came up.
"Bah, stop talking nonsense. If you buy it or not, let's go to another house if you don't buy it."
"Haha, after entering my Qi Xuanzhai's door, I still want to leave?"
Qi Qiang patted his hands a few lightly.
Chapter completed!
