Chapter 113: Obsessed with the Dead
Cheng Yiheng, who was kicking a piece of scorched wood, made a move, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Shang Huai'an with a look of surprise.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and there were soldiers walking by in the middle, some carrying corpses, some holding the remnants, noisy, and the sight of the two was blocked for a moment, and it was clear for a moment, over and over again.
"Your Excellency. ”
Finally someone came to relieve Cheng Yiheng, and he immediately turned his face: "What's the matter?"
"A total of nine charred bodies were found, and there were exactly nine people in prison, all of whom were on the right track. "It's a mortician.
"Good. As soon as Cheng Yiheng nodded, the old man who came to the undertaker's side pulled him and whispered, "Don't make a conclusion first, but are you sure it's me?"
"Of course it is, the case file has been checked, and the height and body type are all right. After the funeral worker returned, he said to Cheng Yiheng, "My lord, don't worry, it's these prisoners, there is no mistake, it's just ......."
"Just what?" Cheng Yiheng's heart tightened, and he secretly glanced at Huai'an.
"It's just that the person who was just locked up by General Wu yesterday didn't find the file, and the little one wanted to ask him about it, but General Wu didn't know where he went today. ”
He ...... He's back to his hometown, and he's not coming back, you're ...... Look no further. Cheng Yiheng lowered his voice and touched his nose.
"Oh, that's no wonder. The undertaker nodded, "I just heard about yesterday's incident, so it can be basically determined, I have seen the deceased himself, and his body shape is right, it should be Meng Ting'an, the third young master of the Meng family." ”
As he spoke, he lifted the white cloth from a corpse beside him.
Cheng Yiheng hurriedly slapped him on the hand, dropped the white cloth back to its place, and he choked his throat and said hurriedly: "The dead are safe, don't move." ”
The undertaker's hand ached, and he hurriedly withdrew it, although he had doubts, but he did not dare to complain, and after glancing at the person behind him, the two lifted the body and walked past him.
The figures of the two men separated him from Huai'an's gaze again, and the white curtain on the corpse slowly passed between them.
When people walked by, they inevitably saw each other again.
Huai'an stared at him in shock, his eyes filled with doubt, anger, sadness, and despair, so much so that his whole body trembled slightly, and his mind was empty.
After standing for a long time, he finally came to his senses, stepped forward in front of the undertaker, and trembled his hand and covered it with the white cloth.
Before he could reach it, the cold scabbard suddenly pressed under his wrist, and Shengsheng raised his hand.
Cheng Yiheng grabbed the knife and looked at him indifferently: "The government is doing things, idle people, etc., stand back!"
Huai'an's eyebrows froze, but he didn't stop, but pressed down harder, and said word by word to the person in front of him: "I am the family of the deceased, I came to collect the body, how can I be an idle person?"
"It's not time to collect it yet, what's more, the body of the deceased needs to be collected by the family, there are still people in his Meng family, it's not your turn, this is the law, don't tell me you don't know!
Huai An pressed his scabbard, suppressed the emotion that was about to erupt, and continued to press down hard: "What bullshit law, this is my brother, why don't you let me see him?"
"I have nine people here in one night, if every family is like you, I will be busy until dark, everyone is dead, and it is burned like this, what is there to see?" Cheng Yiheng's arm was burned, and his strength was not as good as his strength when he was in pain, and in the force he tried to press down, the scabbard could only get lower and lower.
Seeing that Huai'an's hand was about to touch the white mantle, he gritted his teeth, and was flustered for a while, only to feel that the heavens and the earth were all upside down, and he was faint in it.
Fortunately, in the end, in exchange for a sentence: thank you, cherish.
It's all worth it.
The less one person knows, the less danger there is, and some secrets just rot in the stomach, and no one should mention them.
But the person in front of him was about to come to embarrass him, he couldn't advance, he couldn't retreat, he could only resist with all his strength, and he resisted until both of them were red-eyed and refused to give up.
Huai'an increased his strength and completely pressed down his knife, but he was afraid that the knife would touch the corpse, so he hurriedly grabbed the scabbard with his backhand and looked at him coldly: "No matter what you did, I didn't blame you, but now, why do you have to be my enemy?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed the scabbard forward sharply, and the owner of the saber also staggered back two steps.
Then he reached out and lifted the veil.
His hands trembled violently, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable fear.
His third brother, a handsome son who was regarded as a treasure by everyone in the Meng family, was so bright as the moon, noble and elegant, but in the end he died in such a state, he couldn't imagine it, and he didn't want to believe it, and the great sorrow in his heart spread to the blood of his whole body, and he only told his hand to stop at the distance that was close to the foot, and he didn't dare to go forward.
A line of tears crossed the corner of his eye, and he once again mustered up the courage to pull the white veil gently.
At this moment, Cheng Yiheng silently lowered his head, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and the knife was slowly pulled out of the sheath.
If that's how it should be, then he doesn't care about bringing in some more people to accompany the funeral!
Suddenly, someone shouted in his ears: "The Meng family has issued an obituary, and Master Meng has passed away!"
Huai'an raised his head suddenly, and the curtain in his hand suddenly loosened.
The man under the white curtain was still not in sight after all, and the mortician saw that he took two steps back in a daze and lost his soul, and the road ahead was empty, and hurriedly carried the body away.
Cheng Yiheng's knife was also sheathed.
The onlookers were chaotic and scattered in front of them, obviously very noisy, but when they reached Huai'an's ears, they all seemed to have become silent, and the sky and earth at this time seemed to be alone, and everything around them became a cloud of nothingness.
In the crowd, he turned his head blankly, only to see Cheng Yiheng, saw him propping up his saber on the ground, slowly leaned down, kneeled on the ground, and kowtowed to him.
Since then, they have really gone their separate ways, and the two have nothing to do with each other.
He turned around, the noise in his ears suddenly became clear again, he didn't look at the person behind him, and walked forward slowly.
In front of the gate of the Meng family.
The people are taking down the big red lantern and hanging the white flag up, the red glare of the lantern yesterday, but the white piercing heart of the cloth today.
Huai'an and Siqing approached, and when the people saw him, no one stopped him.
When they entered the door, they saw Huan'er, who was dressed in plain clothes, holding the spiritual tablet and slowly walking to the sacrifice hall: "Mother, the third uncle is done." ”
Meng Siru took it and carefully put it on the offering table in front of the hall, where the tablets of the ancestors of the Meng family were placed, arranged in order according to the generations, the Meng family was originally a very lively big family, and when it came to Meng Hongxian's level, because the concubine did not enter the main hall, there was only him, alone.
When Ting'an's spiritual seat was placed on his lower steps, he would not be so lonely.
But that must not be what he wanted to see.
Ting'an's spiritual position card had just been done, and the matter of his death in the sea of fire was confirmed by the government after dawn, and then he came to give the news.
After putting the spiritual seat, Si Ru couldn't cry, and he couldn't restrain himself anymore, and after a long time, he could barely speak, and then he looked back at the two.
"Why don't you see it...... Mrs. Meng?" Huai'an asked first, his heart full of ominous worry.
"Although the obituary was issued today, but last night my father left, and the third brother was arrested again, my mother couldn't stand the blow, and her spirit had been in a trance, and I heard the third brother this morning...... This bad news, I fainted on the spot, and I haven't woken up yet. Meng Siru choked up and explained, paused, and said, "The doctor said that there is no danger to life, don't worry." ”
"When will you wake up?"
"Soon. Si Ru replied slowly, "Actually, it's okay to faint, Lord Cheng said that they have a rule that the third brother's body should be ...... Give it to us after it is burned to ashes, mother...... If you knew, you wouldn't be able to stand it. ”
She said, remembering something, and said to Huai'an: "Second brother, you and Master Cheng are old acquaintances, can you ask him to give us the body of the third brother directly, our ancestors all believe in the soil for peace, if the third brother becomes a handful of ashes, what can we do?"
Huai'an recalled the confrontation with Cheng Yiheng in the morning, and suddenly fell into some kind of thought, as if he had caught something, but it flashed again.
After all, he didn't catch anything, his eyes were full of alienation, and after a moment, he shook his head and said in a lamented voice: "The government does have such a rule. ”
Siru has always been soft, and when he heard what he said, he had to ask no more.
At this time, someone came to inquire about the reception of Zhang Luo and the mourners in the mourning hall, and after she replied one by one, she thought of a question and pulled the two of them together: "You should leave after the condolences, or else...... When my mother wakes up, she will drive you away, and it won't look good for others to see it. ”
"Why?"
He hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully to Huai'an: "Mother has always said that the person Lord Buthard originally wanted was you, saying that you didn't know how to use to attract the emperor to protect you, so they came to the Meng family to ask for someone, she said......"
"She said that if I went, Master Meng and the third brother would not have an accident, so I killed them, is that so?" Seeing that Si Ru couldn't say anything later, Huai An answered directly for her.
She pursed her lips and nodded with her eyes down.
"That's right. Huai'an said coldly, "I'm the damn one." ”
She lowered her head, not daring to look at his expression.
Siqing gently grabbed Huai'an, slowly smoothed out his slightly trembling body, and whispered in his ear: "In this case, according to what the eldest sister said, after the condolences, let's go." ”
After a long time, Huai'an nodded lightly to her: "Okay." ”
They offered incense three times in front of the mourning hall, and then they had nothing to do, so they had to turn around and go out.
After turning around, Siqing caught a glimpse of the woman kneeling with Huan'er in front of the hall, her eyebrows were clear, her eyes were bottomless sadness, and she was also full of vegetarian body, putting paper money in the brazier.
This outfit and behavior are not part of the Meng family's family, so there is no need to do so.
Seeing that they were puzzled, Si Ru brought the woman over and said, "This is the ...... Three young grandmothers. ”
"Third young grandmother?" the two were taken aback, "Miss Gu?"
"Yes, yesterday. ”
"Yesterday......" Siqing was puzzled, "The third brother is no longer here, why do you still let her enter the door, isn't this delaying her?"
Before Si Ru could reply, Miss Gu owed them a debt, raised her red eyes, and said, "Yesterday, I insisted on entering the door, and Yingyue was not afraid of delay, and was willing to mourn for the third young master in this life." ”
The two were stunned and speechless for a while.
But I heard Huan'er say next to her: "This sister can't persuade her to go back, so angry that my mother keeps saying that she is so stupid, saying that he has never seen my third uncle, so why ......"
Si Ru was shocked, and hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth, and apologized to Gu Yingyue: "I...... I didn't say that, the child was talking nonsense......"
Gu Yingyue didn't mind, she stroked Huan'er's head, and said solemnly to the few people in front of her: "No, I met with the third young master, I once gave him a silk handkerchief on the street, maybe he doesn't remember, but I ...... I will not forget, since I have seen him, there is no room for anyone else in my eyes, please fulfill me, don't let me go!"
