Chapter 319: Six-Six-Six
That night, the news of Feng Linggan's death came from the chrysanthemum village. It is said that Feng Linggan fell off his shoulder, because he felt sorry for his baby being eaten by wild dogs, and he was in a coma several times. The wound that had just been sutured, the blood line collapsed, first the abdominal cavity began to seep blood, and then the seven orifices bleed, and when it came to the second watch, he died.
Finally, I still didn't survive ten days!
When the news of his death came, I consulted Min Qiuye, bypassed the Song prefect's mansion, and dispatched more than 80 officials to surround Juzhuang. Although Juzhuang is Feng Linggan's private garden, Feng Linggan is a person in the inner court, and this Juzhuang is nominally a royal garden, and Feng Linggan is just a janitor.
We besieged Juzhuang for a very good reason, Feng Linggan died, Juzhuang was in chaos, some eunuchs, splashed skin coveted the property in Juzhuang, secretly took it out, in order to protect the property of the imperial court from loss, we surrounded Juzhuang.
Zhang Youqian and I came to Juzhuang. Protecting the royal garden is fake, and looking for Wu Saburo is the original intention, but this kind of thing can't be told to anyone, so it's a cover. Seeing us coming, Jiangnan Dao, Lord Su, Lord Zhang, I have led people to search five or six times, but there is no trace of Brother Wu.
As soon as Feng Linggan had an accident, I asked Jiang Nan to keep an eye on him here, but now I searched all over Juzhuang, but there was no news of him, could it be that Feng Linggan transferred Wu Saburo elsewhere in advance? Or did someone take Wu Saburo away?
Jiangnan Dao, I asked the guys and maids in Juzhuang, said that this year, there were two mysterious guests in Juzhuang, a man and a woman, who lived in the Nuanchun Pavilion in the innermost courtyard, it is said that Feng Linggan took these two people as ancestors to serve, these two people do not go out all year round, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation on weekdays are two personal little eunuchs to serve, after Feng Linggan's death, these two little eunuchs disappeared with them.
Zhang Youqian suddenly asked, when you searched the mansion, did you find anything like a secret passage?
The richer the family, the more afraid of death, such a large building, when building, must consider the emergency plan in case of disaster, and the construction of a secret passage is the most economical and applicable method. However, there are very few people who know about this kind of secret passage, and its construction is even more hidden, not to mention us, even those who have lived here for more than ten years may not necessarily find it.
I said, even if there is, do you think you can find it?
Zhang Youqian said, I am an expert in this regard.
As he spoke, he ordered people to bring some cow dung and donkey eggs, and after getting wet, they lit them, and suddenly, the whole chrysanthemum was filled with smoke with the smell of dung. Not long after, I saw a large round water tank in the middle of the inner courtyard, and smoke seeped into it along this water tank.
This kind of water tank is usually found in larger houses, and it is filled with water on weekdays, so it is prepared to prevent water from running away. It's so common that it doesn't attract attention. Someone opened the water tank, but there was a three-foot hole under the tank, and smoke poured into it.
The entrance to the cave is narrow at the top and deep at the bottom, and when I came in, I found that this secret passage was more than three feet high, and ordinary people could walk in it with cats on their waists. On the walls of the secret passage, there are several oil lamps, filled with tung oil, three of which have been taken.
After walking a few steps forward, I saw a shelf next to it, with wigs, wigs, whiskers and other disfigured things on the shelf, as well as some coarse linen clothes, and a few changed clothes on the ground.
We walked forward with oil lamps, and the further we went, the narrower the cave became, and we almost had to walk sideways to get through. After walking for about half a mile, we suddenly heard someone crying for help in front of us, and we rushed over, but saw that in the narrow place in front of the entire secret passage, there was a fat man of about 300 pounds, who was stuck in the cave, and he couldn't enter or get out.
Look at the dress, it should be a maid in Juzhuang. When the maid saw us, she shouted, "Come and save me!"
I asked, who are you, and how are you stuck here?
Although the maid was stuck, her temper was not small, and she said, who am I in charge of your, save me first.
Zhang Youqian said, are you dead or alive to care about my? Let me ask you, where did Wu Saburo go?
The fat maid said, you two villains, if you want to find out the whereabouts of the third master and Miss Su, there is no door. My Xiaohong used to be down on the street, I didn't eat three meals, thin skin and bones, not more than sixty pounds, it was the third master who took me in, I had to eat and drink every day, the third master and Miss Su treated me well, my Xiaohong would never betray them!
I said that I don't just treat you well, you grow more than 200 pounds a year, did you grow up eating April fat?
Fat girl said, what do you know, fat is a blessing.
Zhang Youqian pointed to the stone cave where she was stuck, fortunately they went first, otherwise you would not have been cut by a knife like this?
The fat maid said, these two words are too much to compare, can you change them?
Zhang Youqian sighed, your mouth is quite hard, you are really not afraid of death. I was anxious, and walked over and said, what are you talking nonsense with her, she is stuck here in the way, slaughtered with a knife, chase it out and talk about it!
I asked again, who is Miss Su you are talking about?
Xiaohong said, Miss Su is Miss Su, and her name seems to be Su Susu.
I wondered in my heart, isn't this Su Susu the Lingnan Sword Sect woman that I escorted to Haining with Li Changling? Last year, it was rumored that she had the luck of the world, and if she could get her and cultivate it into a Ding Furnace, she would be able to jump out of the Three Realms, which triggered Nangong Changqing and other old rivers and lakes to come to fight, and as a result, in the six major dart game darts competition, the mad beggar Lu Jiu took her as an apprentice, and covered her full of luck with the technique of a thief, and took her away. Unexpectedly, this crazy beggar Lu Jiu actually brought her to Jinling and walked with Wu Saburo. Not long ago, the teak hexagram calculated that the golden phoenix was born together, and if Wu Saburo was the prince of the people, then this golden phoenix would naturally be Su Susu.
It's just that this luck is the luck of the country, not the luck of the rivers and lakes.
I asked, "What do you do when you go to Tongzenji Temple?"
Xiaohong said that it seemed that a layman surnamed Xie came to pick up the two of them, and overheard them at that time, saying that the third master and Miss Su were worried about their lives, and asked them to go to Tongshan Temple, and someone would come to pick them up. Two heroes, I've said everything, don't kill me.
Zhang Youqian snorted, are you still hard-mouthed?
Xiaohong said, my mouth is very soft, do you want to try it.
Zhang Youqian almost vomited, picked up his sword and slashed down. That Xiaohong was frightened and screamed, but found that there was a rumble around, and Zhang Youqian slashed out a passage of more than three feet from the side with a sword, which scared Xiaohong a lot. We didn't bother to pay attention to her, so we left her and chased her out.
We were going to Tongzen Temple, but halfway through, I suddenly remembered something, so I said, as far as I can see, this Wu Saburo went to Tongzen Temple, obviously not forced, but because I heard that there is a fear of life, we really need to find it, will Wu Saburo go with us? Who can guarantee what Wu Saburo has experienced in the past year?
Zhang Youqian said, we were brothers in life and death, can he still believe us?
I shook my head, I couldn't tell. Since he knows that he is in Tongshan Temple, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Let's go back to Juzhuang first and wipe our butts clean.
When we surrounded Juzhuang, we did not inform the Song prefect, he has always been cautious, if he really told him, he would definitely not agree, so after consulting with Lao Min, I directly sent troops. Sure enough, early this morning, after he learned about the incident, he was furious at first, and immediately told us that we must handle the matter properly, and shirked it to the outside world, and drank too much yesterday and did not know about it.
As soon as Feng Linggan died, the people in the rivers and lakes gathered in his family dispersed one after another, and it is said that he also took a lot of family property.
People are like this, whether they are ordinary ordinary people, or famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, the word is the first, when you have power, before and after the saddle, everyone flocks to it, but once you lose power, people immediately go to the tea and cool, Feng Linggan is like this, Xie Shiting is like this, and Hu Zongxian is also like this.
Feng Linggan framed Hu Zongxian with fifty taels and the crime of complication, which caused Hu Zongxian to be suspicious and was immediately forced to commit suicide.
Because Feng Linggan was a member of the inner court, after his death, the Song prefect sent a letter to the imperial court, saying that when Feng Gonggong was teasing his pet, he was scratched by a pet, infected with typhoid fever and died, and said that Feng Gonggong worked hard and made great achievements, and for more than ten years in Jiangnan, he even managed political affairs and military affairs in an orderly manner.
Mingli is praising him, but in fact, he is harming him, anyway, Feng Linggan is dead, no matter how you say it, he has no way to fight back.
As soon as he died, the happiest were the prefect and the garrison, when Feng Linggan was there, these two people were pressed to death by him, interfering with the performance of their duties in the name of supervision, and now they are dead, and the two adults are said to have gone to Chunxiang Building to celebrate.
But after all, he is a young eunuch in the inner court, and his identity is there, and the funeral still has to be held. With a stroke of the pen, the prefect of Song drew out three hundred taels of silver to handle the funeral for Feng Linggan, and also called Feng Linggan's steward Li Gonggong to the mansion and advised: Say, Feng Gonggong is a big man in the Jinling territory, and his funeral must be done, and it will be done, and all monks, Taoist priests, priests, and those who are not spiritual, must be invited, and they will do a three-day water and land puja, and the local township party gentry, Baojia Lizheng, and all the major factions on the rivers and lakes will come to participate.
When Zhang Youqian heard this, he was quite puzzled.
I smiled and said, the funeral is done by the living, and it is also for the living, originally Feng Linggan had a friendship with him that he couldn't match, but the Song Governor's Mansion was so fanfare, it must be for others to see.
Zhang Youqian asked again, do you want to go to the funeral?
I said go, why don't you go?
You killed Gonggong Feng in anger, and the eunuchs in Juzhuang still didn't eat you? Also, this time the Song Governor held a funeral for him, how much money are you going to take with you?
I stretched out my thumb and little finger, and made three strokes in a row, saying, "Six-six-six!"
The funeral was held three days later as scheduled.
Zhang Youqian and I wore red robes and carried a fresh carp in our hands to go to Juzhuang to participate in Feng Linggan's condolences.
