The 248th chapter ancestral tomb storm (1)
Chapter 248: The storm of the ancestor tomb (I)
If there hadn't been the storm in Gaoyou Lake, He Zhaoyi might have been hugging and crying with He Zhaojie, and then with He Zhaojie's tears, he handed all his property back to his second brother, and then returned to He's mansion in Yangzhou, and finally he was married to a role like Lianghuai Salt Transportation Envoy.
However, now, He Zhaoyi looked at He Zhaojie crying bitterly while holding the coffin. He no longer felt anything. He cried, pretended to be compassionate, and pretended to be scammers just to deceive his trust. Unfortunately, he had done all the tricks and finally got a move. He had already confiscated the truth of the matter from the pirate leader on Gaoyou Lake. Now He Zhaojie can no longer deceive He Zhaoyi.
The brother and sister are already in power.
"Okay, you've cried enough. When your father is put in the ancestral grave, you can cry as long as you want." He Zhaoyi said. If it weren't for the time being, she would really plan to see how long her second brother's trick could be played.
"I parted with you by the canal, but I didn't expect that it would be a farewell forever. Zhaoyi, have you ever told you about anything before your death?" He Zhaojie looked at He Zhaoyi with tears in his eyes.
What did he explain? He Zhaoyi recalled the situation at that time. If it weren't for those loyal servants, the second brother's conspiracy would have succeeded. The most unfortunate thing is that before his father died, he would not have known his second brother's true face.
"It's time soon, I have to let someone bury my father and elder brother as soon as possible." He Zhaoyi said.
"Hmph." He Zhaojie's face became so fast. He was a filial son who was so sad that he was just a filial son. Now all the tears disappeared. He stood up and said, "Dad and his elder brother were killed, and all the property taken away by my He family is probably only my dearest sister knows where it is, right?"
The fox's tail was revealed so quickly? I thought you would take a long time to pretend. He Zhaoyi sneered: "Second brother, let's talk about these things later. The most important thing at the moment is to bury the coffin of Dad and Big Brother and let them be buried in peace. We will talk about those things later."
"No!" He Zhaojie said: "Now that there is no trace of these properties. Dad will definitely not be buried so at ease. He must wait for his property to return to the He family before he can get buried with peace of mind."
He Zhaoyi's face also changed: "Second brother, what do you mean by saying this?"
"Hmph, if you don't explain where those family properties are gone, tell you that your father's body will not be able to enter the ancestral grave!" He Zhaojie said.
"You..." He Zhaoyi was immediately angry, clinking, Minmin behind her even more angry.
Originally, it was difficult for a clean official to do business, and Minmin didn't want to interfere in He Zhaoyi's own affairs. She just wanted to come and have a business with He Zhaoyi. It was also very fun to do business. Nowadays, many noble families in most cities are very popular in doing business, and they are all very profitable, and Minmin also wants to join in the fun.
Unexpectedly, the weak He Zhaoyi actually had such an older brother who was inferior to a beast! When she said that her brother would not be able to pick up the body, Minmin already despised the second son of the He family. Who knew that this person was simply a scumbag! It would be fine if he didn't pick him up, but he actually blocked He Zhaoyi from burying the body.
People can be shameless, but those who are so shameless that He Zhaojie can no longer be described as shameless.
"Beast, you'd better disappear immediately before this lady shows her power!" Minmin said.
Disappeared? He Zhaojie saw the woman behind He Zhaoyi and smiled: "It's okay to disappear. As long as I agree to my request, I will disappear immediately. Now the He family is the decision!"
He family, do you take charge? The whole world is the emperor. My father is the Grand Tutor. After he gives orders, all your business can be stopped. Minmin doesn’t want to reveal his identity as a princess, otherwise, she really wants to scold him for being so bloody.
"Second brother, I can't agree to your request. I will bury my father and elder brother first. Let's talk about the rest later." He Zhaoyi said.
"If you don't agree, don't blame me for being rude." He Zhaojie said, stretched out his right hand, and suddenly, sixty or seventy servants suddenly appeared in the bushes on all sides, surrounding He Zhaoyi and others.
"It has nothing to do with others. This is the family business of my He family. I will be blind in a while. If there is no sword, I'd better leave first." He Zhaojie said, looking at He Zhaoyi, there was only a little love beside her, the young lady who didn't know where to come from, with two thief-headed men, followed by ten strong men who looked like bodyguards, and a musket was on her back.
Seeing the musket, he was indeed a little worried, but there were only ten people, and he had ambushed 60 or 70 people. With the large number of people, they could control them all, and then forced He Zhaoyi to hand over the property. This was his plan. He didn't want to put it on the surface, but this was the last chance. What if He Zhaoyi disappeared after burying his father and elder brother, where would he go to find her?
It’s your own thing, so you must not let it fly. He Zhaojie looked at He Zhaoyi and said again: “If you know the truth, you can hand over all your property quickly. Otherwise, you won’t want to leave here alive today!”
He Zhaoyi felt uncomfortable when she heard this naked threat. Although she had always had a bad relationship with her second brother, she was a brother and sister after all. Unexpectedly, today she finally reached this point. She had a clear conscience and couldn't help but feel a lot of things.
"Second brother, I will call you the second brother for the last time today. You ask me to bury my father and elder brother first. Let's talk about the rest later. Otherwise, our brother-sister relationship will end here."
"I don't care about anything I love. In short, I am the head of the He family, and everything in the He family should be decided by me!" He Zhaojie said: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't agree, don't blame me for being rude."
"Xiao Liu, are you so willing to follow the second young master?" He Zhaoyi ignored He Zhaojie and just asked the people who were around. One of them, she knew, was one of her father's confidants, Xiao Liu.
From afar, Xiaoliu said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I've followed the second young master long ago." He had long been a chess piece arranged by He Zhaojie under Mr. He.
It turned out that the second brother had already started. Even without this incident, the second brother would have thought of occupying all the property, and the eldest brother would definitely be harmed by the second brother. The father ended up because he was unwilling to give all the property to the second brother.
When He Zhaoyi thought of this, she smiled instead. The hurdle in her heart had passed. From then on, she was no longer a brother or sister, but an enemy with her second brother. Such a person was not her second brother at all.
"Those who block me will die!" He Zhaoyi said sternly.
"Swish!" Hearing He Zhaoyi's words, the ten people behind took the Tianque gun from their backs, and their movements were neat and uniform, even the sounds were whispered.
"Kala!" Everyone pulled the pull rod above, raised the Tianque gun flat, and the muzzle was facing the surroundings.
Then, they scattered and surrounded He Zhaoyi, Xiao Ai, and Xuanming.
The surrounding servants' faces suddenly changed. Although they were many people, although they were all He Zhaojie's confidants and were loyal to He Zhaojie, they had never been on the battlefield or killed anyone. Compared with this ten-person team, they lost a lot of momentum.
"Let's go!" He Zhaoyi said.
Ten musketeers were outside, followed by He Zhaoyi and others in the middle, and followed a dozen people carrying the coffin behind, walking forward together.
"Zhaoyi, take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude!" He Zhaojie said, and then issued an order to his subordinates next to him.
"Bang!" A musket sounded from the musket in front, and wisps of black smoke rose. It was Li Xingsu who fired the gun.
"Bang!" He Zhaojie's hair suddenly fell down in disarray.
A buzzing sound came from his ears. For a moment, He Zhaojie didn't know what happened, and his mind was blank.
The servant next to him saw clearly. As soon as the other party's musket sounded, the bun on He Zhaojie's head was opened. Although the distance was not far, the accuracy was too high. This was a warning. If you don't let go, the next time you bloom will be your head. It is said that the muskets under Zhang Shicheng are very powerful and are indeed well-deserved!
They are already timid, and life is the most important thing.
"Go, come on me!" He Zhaojie reacted and said fiercely: "Although their muskets are powerful, we have many people. Except He Zhaoyi, I will kill all the rest. Even those porters are not allowed to let go! Kill one and give you 500 taels of silver!"
After saying that, the murderous intent of the servants around him was in secret. Although the muskets were very powerful, they were very few. After going up, it was still easier to kill those porters, only 500 taels per person!
He Zhaojie had no choice but to do this. Now that the talks have collapsed, if he doesn't take action, he will lose this opportunity. Once he takes action, the others here are not afraid. But the lady with a very strong tone doesn't know what the background is. If she wants to do it, she has to kill them all and kill someone to silence her mouth.
"Kill!" A servant raised his big sword and wanted to rush forward.
"Bang!" This time it was Pan Mao's fire.
"Ah!" The servant's hand had been holed by a bullet, and blood was flowing, and the pain started to howl, and the sword fell to the ground.
"If you dare to come up again, kill it just now!" Li Xingsu said.
"Yes!" The other nine musketeers replied that they were not ruthless in fighting the Tartars, but they were carrying out protection tasks, and they had to avoid unnecessary killing. Now, the other party was aggressive and could not bear it anymore, so there was no need to endure it anymore. If they dared to come up again, they would start a massacre. As for how to deal with the funeral afterwards, it was a question that He Zhaoyi had to consider.
"Go, let me go!" He Zhaojie said.
No one paid attention to him, and the servants automatically made way for fear that these killers would silence them. The servant who had been pierced through his palm was still howling, making people feel weak in their teeth. They slowly retreated.
"Get out!" Li Xingsu kicked He Zhaojie, who was left alone in the road, with one foot.
He Zhaoyi didn't look at He Zhaojie. If it weren't for the protection of these people, I'm afraid that the one who was kicked aside would be himself. And He Zhaojie would never let him go like he did.
He Zhaoyi was in a very peaceful mood. She just wanted to bury the bodies of her father and elder brother in the ancestral grave and let them be buried in peace.
The porter behind me experienced this risk and felt that the scenery had been so beautiful that he lifted it even harder, and the coffin walked steadily towards the earth slope.
"Second Young Master!" A confidant next to him wanted to help He Zhaojie up.
"Bang!" He Zhaojie did not get up, but slapped him: "Bastard, didn't I say, don't call me the second young master, do you want to call me the master? I am already the head of the He family!"
"Yes, yes! Master!" said the confidant who was struck by a nail and went to help He Zhaojie again.
"Go back immediately and report to Yangzhou Prefecture Lord Sun, saying that outside Yangzhou City, there were small groups of thieves. The thieves were carrying advanced muskets and asked Lord Sun to send troops to encircle and suppress them." He Zhaojie said.
"Master, isn't a thief? Will Lord Sun believe that?"
"Ba!" This time it was on the right face. "Bastard, didn't you see it? He Zhaoyi is no longer a member of our He family. Don't call her lady in the future. Go and report the message! I'm waiting here! By the way, take the injured person with you and go to the government office together."
"Yes, master." said the confidant. If I had known, I would not help you, so I would let you lie down. I was vain and was very upset. The confidant was very upset. He took the injured servant in his hand and headed towards Yangzhou City.
He Zhaojie knew that although He Zhaoyi was not a thief, her bodyguards were carrying muskets, and that kind of musket was obviously owned by Zhang Shicheng of Xinghua. Although he was named Xinghua and the prefectural prefecture of Taizhou, in fact, the province was very careful about him. Now that his people appeared near Yangzhou, was that a sign of his attack on Yangzhou? Even if he could figure it out with his toes, he would definitely have bad intentions! After hearing the news, Lord Sun would definitely send heavy troops here immediately.
Putting the coffin on the ground, the porters started to dig holes on the ground. The soil here was soft and there was no stone, so it was very easy to do it. In less than half an hour, the two holes were dug.
Ten bodyguards were all standing around to watch. From Gaogang, you can see from a distance that the failed He Zhaojie did not leave and was still staying in the original place. This made Li Xingsu a little worried. He Zhaojie might be using some bad water, right?
"Hey, your firearms are really powerful, can you teach me?" Minmin had no idea about these bodyguards. No matter how powerful the firearms are, they are not as powerful as the *** Warriors' bows and arrows. It is a golden combination of horses and bows and arrows. However, after seeing the power of the firearms, Minmin changed his mind.
The key is the accuracy. The garrison guarding Dadu is also equipped with muskets. However, the power of this musket cannot be compared at all. It is very difficult to accurately hit the opponent's hand holding a big knife at a distance of dozens of steps. It would be great if the troops in Dadu could hit the human body.
She really wanted to see what kind of magical artifacts these muskets are and why they are so powerful.
Li Xingsu said lukewarmly: "Miss, please stay away and be careful of the fire and hurt you."
Minmin pouted and walked away.
In the entire team, only Li Xingsu knew Minmin's true identity. Her father was the enemy of the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, that is, the eldest brother. Now she is just a little girl who doesn't care about politics, and what kind of relationship does Zheyi have, so she protected her. If her identity is spread, it will definitely be a big trouble. Needless to say, if other Red Turban Army finds out, they will definitely want to steal the people who threaten the Grand Tutor. And the Grand Tutor is definitely the first target of revenge. Although everyone is doing business to fight the Tartars, no one will be whimsical and can directly go against the millions of troops of the court. After all, the food is eaten one bite at a time, and the strength can only increase step by step.
But what Li Xingsu didn't know was that an accidental incident had to allow Zhang Yang, who had not yet developed, to face the millions of troops of the court. Although he won, he did not meet Zhang Yang's standards, and his own losses were a bit huge.
Minmin must not know the secret of the Tianque gun. If it is copied by the court, wouldn’t it be very passive? However, the manufacturing process of the Tianque gun would never be copied without seeing it with your own eyes. Even so, the entire ten-person team will protect the Tianque gun very strictly.
Minmin walked away and then looked curiously at how to get buried.
In the era without cranes, it is definitely a reflection of the wisdom of the working people when they want to carefully put the coffin carried by eight people into a pit several meters deep. If they are not careful, the coffin falls straight down, and I am afraid that the corpse inside will be so angry that they will come out of the coffin to settle the score.
The wooden sticks carrying the coffin were already made with ropes. Eight people carefully carried the coffin directly above the pit, and the coffin had already been suspended on the pit.
Then, the rope on the pole of the coffin was untied. The coffin was hung up against two ropes in front and back. After untied, you could not let go. The other four people had to pull one end of the rope tightly and loosen it slowly. The coffin shook and moved downward. In this way, the coffin was hung little by little into the pit.
Until the coffin completely entered the pit, the eight people carrying the coffin could slowly put the pole on the pit and put it on both sides, which was considered to be free. The other four people were still slowly putting ropes, and the coffin was hung into the pit bit by bit until it fell to the bottom.
"Dad..." He Zhaoyi looked at the coffin and hung it into the pit. Thinking about what happened these days, tears flowed out again. "Rest in peace!"
"Miss, let's beg you for your gratitude!" Xiao Ai also burst into tears, but was comforting He Zhaoyi.
After the coffin is put in, the next step is to put in some valuable burial objects. These are for outsiders to see. If someone knows, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will come to dig ancestral graves and rob tombs. When these laborers go back to publicize, the He family will only do this, which will reduce the risk.
After putting down Mr. He's coffin, He Zhaoren's next. The eldest young master of the He family lay quietly at Mr. He's feet.
Seeing the coffin slowly hang into the pit again, He Zhaoyi was sad again.
Unexpectedly, when the coffin was only half hung, I felt the land shaking rhythmically, and the soil next to the pit also slid into the pit.
What's going on? The zombie was cheated? The laborers' faces changed drastically.
"It's the brigade of Tartar cavalry that is here!" a bodyguard said.
Minmin's face changed: "What is Tartar?"
"Miss, don't be angry. These brothers of mine are big and rude, so don't be surprised." Li Xingsu said quickly.
Chapter completed!
