Chapter 277: Cremation

Sister-in-law Sun continued: "I used such a method to not arouse Ximenqing's suspicion, otherwise how could Xiuchun stay in that kind of place, so how could people rest assured?"

"You think that Li Bei'er is Liang Zhongshu's favorite concubine, and after being trained by the eunuch Hua, what a smart woman she is, her husband Hua Zixu is still Ximenqing's sworn brother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This Ximenqing tried to snatch the money of the righteous brothers, how vicious the means he used, then Li Bei'er tried his best to fall into the hands of Ximenqing. ā€

"The family fortune of the two of them tens of thousands of taels of silver has been robbed, and even their lives have been sent, do you say that Ximenqing is still a little human? We have no way to help you, who dares to provoke Ximenqing? I just hope that your uncle and Wu Song will come back as soon as possible and get an idea to help you. I'm sorry I couldn't help you some time ago. ā€

Before Sister-in-law Sun could continue, Pan Jinlian interrupted her: "Thank you, I know that each of you has your own difficulties, after the funeral, you should not go to my house again, lest I burden you." I don't mean to blame you in the slightest, I just ask you to tell the truth when your uncle and Wu Song come back, and don't hide it at all, that is, to do me a great favor Pan Jinlian. ā€

Sister-in-law Sun didn't wait for Pan Jinlian to kneel down and kowtow, so she grabbed Jinlian and said to her: "You have to wait patiently, you must wait until that day, and we will leave first." ā€

Sister-in-law Sun and Brother Yun burned a few pieces of money paper according to etiquette, lit incense, and left. After a while, Uncle He Jiu opened the curtain and came in, and Wang Po stepped forward to say hello: "I've been waiting for a long time, Uncle He Jiu." ā€

Uncle He Jiu snorted, and he agreed to her, so he stepped forward and said to Pan Jinlian: "Jinlian, I heard that Wu Dalang was injured a few days ago and has recovered, why did he suddenly fall ill and walk in such a hurry?"

Pan Jinlian stepped forward and replied: "The illness was cured a few days ago, and the princess has been helping me these days, asking the doctor to boil medicine, thanks to her, but I was in a hurry last night, and only the princess helped me alone." I didn't expect Wu Dalang to go so soon, I thought it was because his heart hurt so badly that he couldn't stand it. ā€

Uncle He Jiu heard Pan Jinlian pull Wang Po up, he looked at Pan Jinlian, and then looked at Wang Po nodding with a smile on her face, and he didn't know what he was, he didn't ask any more, but just said to Pan Jinlian: "Jinlian, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky." Wu Dalang is gone, you must wait until your uncle and Wu Song come back. The last sentence was in a solemn tone.

Pan Jinlian understood what he meant, and he also knew Jin Lian's original intention from Jin Lian's words to Wang Po just now, so he, like Sister-in-law Sun and Brother Yun, asked Jin Lian to wait for his uncle and Wu Song to come back. Pan Jinlian felt in her heart: "They all believe that although Wu Dalang died strangely, he will not be harmed by me, and only my uncle and Wu Song have the right to ask and have the courage to ask." ā€

Uncle He Jiu turned around and said to Wang Po, "Let's go see Wu Dalang." ā€

Uncle He Jiu lifted the Qianqiu flag, tore open the white silk, and gently opened Wu Dalang's eyes with the instrument in his hand that was dedicated to the eyes of the dead, and saw him scream, and he fell backwards, spurting blood from his mouth.

Several of Uncle He's assistants panicked, and said in a loud voice: "The one parked here hasn't been buried yet, won't another one go?"

Wang Po said: "It's okay, I'm afraid that I have committed an evil crime, hurry up and hit a scoop of water, sprinkle it on his face, and wake up and keep it fine." ā€

The assistant did as Wang Po said, and sure enough, Uncle He Jiu woke up after a while, and those helpers helped Uncle He Jiu to go back.

The mourners dispersed, and the princess quietly told Pan Jinlian: "Tell you that the Ximen officials have the ability to settle things." He gave Uncle He Jiu ten taels of silver and told him to stabilize this matter, so how similar he was to pretend to be an evil just now, don't worry. This Wu Dalang's corpse will definitely be incinerated in three days, and when Wu Song comes back, there will be nothing, what is he looking for?"

Pan Jinlian didn't say anything, just nodded. I don't know if they were afraid of the unjust soul asking for their lives, or if they were ashamed? They actually invited a group of monks in the temple to recite Buddhist scriptures for Wu Dalang for three days and three nights, Uncle He Jiu brought a group of people to move the coffin, Wang Po helped Pan Jinlian, and Sister-in-law Sun and Brother Yun followed behind them.

came to the crematorium outside the city, and arranged for someone to cremate Wu Dalang's bones. Uncle He Jiu was still carrying a string of paper money, and when Pan Jinlian saw Uncle He Jiu, she asked, "Uncle Jiu, have you ever recovered?"

Uncle Nine replied: "The evil is only a matter of a while, and it will be fine if you go back to rest and rest." So I'm going to come today to pay Wu Dalang money for a cage of cooking cakes, so as not to feel uneasy, and if I burn it, I will pay it off, and I don't have to worry that he will come to me for a debt. ā€

Wang Po hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's rare that Uncle Nine is so sincere, no one is gone, and you still have to pay back the money of the dead?"

Uncle He Jiu said solemnly: "Don't do anything bad for people, don't be shocked when you knock on the door in the middle of the night; it's too hot here, and when the bones are cremated for a while, the smell is too big, I have to cover my face and mouth with a cloth towel, how can you women stand it? ā€

When Wang Po beckoned people to enter the dining hall, Pan Jinlian saw two men standing next to Uncle He Jiu who were hesitating, it seemed that these two people did not want to smell the stench of burning the dead, but they did not dare to go away. I think that Ximenqing is still worried about Uncle He Jiu, for fear that he will do something in private, these two people are here to monitor Uncle He Jiu's actions.

Pan Jinlian walked over, said to the two of them, "These two eldest brothers want to help, right? This Uncle He Jiu relies on this to eat, he is not afraid of this smell, the slave family is Wu Dalang's wife, I don't guard the cremation of people, why do the two eldest brothers come to smell this strange smell? I haven't asked the two eldest brothers their honorable names yet, where are they doing? I still have something to ask the two eldest brothers to help in the future, the two of you should go to the dining hall to drink saliva, I thank you two for my dead father-in-law." ā€

After Pan Jinlian's invitation, the two of them thought that in broad daylight, the dead were burned, what else was left? Why should they smell the unpleasant smell, so they followed Pan Jinlian into the nearby dining hall.

Tea was placed in the dining hall, and there were really fruits, cakes, and melon seeds, so they beckoned everyone to eat and drink. Pan Jinlian could see Uncle He Jiu's actions from the seat he was sitting on, and he arranged the two overseers in the position with their backs to Uncle He Jiu, and diligently poured tea for them, handed them snacks and fruits, and the two of them ate and drank.

Soon after Pan Jinlian caught a glimpse of the incineration of the bones, Uncle He Jiu used a fire chopstick to pull it in the incineration pool, and finally took advantage of the unpreparedness to quickly pick up something and stuff it in his sleeve. In the dining hall, except for Pan Jinlian, there was no second person who saw what Uncle He Jiu was doing, and they all thought that he was doing what he should do dutifully.

And only Jin Lian's heart understands that on the one hand, Uncle He Jiu is an upright person, but he can't clash with Ximenqing head-on, offend Ximenqing, and be poisoned by others. If he wants to protect his wife and son, he can only secretly collect evidence; on the other hand, he sympathizes with Jin Lian, and he also wants to give Wu Song an explanation, so that Wu Song has evidence to fight with Ximen Qing, which also needs evidence, and what he does is to collect evidence.

Pan Jinlian saw the neighbors, except for a princess who was willing to serve the tiger, none of the rest of the people were not trying to help Jinlian and comfort her. When Uncle and Wu Song come back, they will definitely tell what they have learned and tell the truth to confirm Jin Lian's innocence, and on that day, Jin Lian will die under Wu Song's knife, and there will be no regrets.

Coming back from the crematorium, Jin Lian's grief has not decreased, looking at the empty home, there is no longer Wu Dalang's short figure, and Jin Lian's guilt is growing day by day, Jin Lian doesn't know what she should do, she has only one belief in her heart, she can't die, she must hold on, until her uncle and Wu Song come back, otherwise Wu Dalang will die blindly.

In addition to Wang Po, the neighbors still didn't dare to come to visit, because the funeral had been completed, and there was no excuse to visit Pan Jinlian, Pan Jinlian knew that this was Ximenqing's arrangement, first, she was afraid that there would be too much, and the neighbors would see the flaws and would always leak out for Wu Song to know, and more importantly, no matter how strong a person was, when she had no relatives, no friends, and not even a stranger who was willing to listen to her, she would be lonely and helpless, and her spirit would eventually collapse.

At this time, as long as there is one person who can be good to her, care for her, and help her, she will be dominated by this person and obey this person mentally and physically. I know that this is the case, but what can Pan Jinlian do?

There is no purpose, no thought, just a habit, sitting in front of the window. The early spring sun shines through the window on Pan Jinlian's body, and her body has warmth, but her heart is cold, her brain is empty, her heart doesn't know where to go, and her ears can't hear the sound. There is no hustle, no sorrow, no joy, no happiness, but people are so comfortable.

Wang Po took Ximen Qing to Pan Jinlian's building, and checked one by one with the attitude of a victor that after Wu Dalang's death, there were still things in the house that could be used as war trophies for him to possess, and these were Pan Jinlian's reactions afterwards.

Ximenqing stood in front of the door at this time, shouting loudly, only to pull Pan Jinlian back to reality from the unreal: "Lady, you really have a good eye, this material is very rich when you make clothes and wear it." The price of this material is definitely not cheap, and if you make a brocade robe, you won't give it to me to wear, you want to surprise me, right?"

Pan Jinlian raised her head and turned around, and found that Ximenqing was covered with the brocade robe she had carefully made for Wu Song, which she had made by staying up all night and placing countless good wishes, and this brocade robe had been hanging on the wall panel in the room where Wu Song had lived.

Ximenqing said triumphantly to Mrs. Wang: "Wang Ganniang, when did this little lady make such a beautiful brocade robe for me, you don't know, do you see that I am more handsome when I wear it?"

Ximenqing was buttoning the pipa knot carefully made by Jin Lian, and asked Wang Po to help him pull it. It was only at this time that he realized that this brocade robe did not fit well on his body, and it was simply made by Pan Jinlian for other men.

Ximenqing immediately tore off the brocade robe from his body, dragged him in front of Pan Jinlian in a few steps, grabbed Pan Jinlian's hair, and suddenly the originally combed hairstyle turned into a mess.
