Chapter 22: Smile at the sky

Chen Tie smiled at Li Zhutou and said, "Lao Li, your kind brother has a heart, and he originally wanted to avoid it, but my brother has to ask me to do them a favor...... In the past few days, there have been no idlers in Wuzhou City, and I have been resting for a long time, and I am panicking. ”

Li Zhutou shook his head: "You better avoid it, and tell your brother not to wander around...... Lao Chen, have you ever told your brother about what I entrusted you? ”

"Come here and carry the people over!"

A rough shout suddenly came from the high steps of the mansion, which immediately interrupted Chen Tie's words about to answer Li Zhutou, Chen Tie had no choice but to smile, and did not say anything, Li Zhutou hurriedly waved his hand at Chen Tie: "I'll talk to you later." ”

Then he hurriedly turned to the front to cook.

Xia Xueyi, who always held her arms and watched coldly, saw Li Zhutou who was busy before and after, and nodded secretly in her heart, well, although this Li Zhutou looks sleek, it is indeed not too black-hearted.

If Li Zhutou knew that there was a person named Xia Xueyi mixed in this inexplicable matter, he should have recited Amitabha Buddha aloud a few times because he was still somewhat concerned about the thin face of his beard in this matter, and did not extort Ai Ye, an orphan.

Everyone watched Li Zhutou and eight spirit bearers take down the reed mat wrapped in Old Man Li's corpse, and Ai Ye had already fallen on the reed mat wrapped in Old Man Li and cried loudly.

Fortunately, with Li Zhutou present, those jailers and servants gave some face, and no one scolded the sad Ai Ye.

Xie Xiang is only now a little aware of the doorway, it turns out that the yamen in ancient times was not taboo about the life and death of people, and the living and the dead entered and exited with such a gate; Anyway, it's not anyone's private house, and it can't avoid so much.

Come to think of it, besides, there are some who were killed by the cane; I can't stand it in court and break it off on my own; If someone collects the body, it is enough, and if no one claims it, it is often dragged out by the government and thrown on the street, even if the case is closed.

It won't be long before he will be dragged to a mass grave by the ground guard.

At this moment, the reality that Xie Xiang saw was like this, and now it was even more miserable and ridiculous because Ai Ye threw himself on Old Man Li and cried loudly.

"Crackling ......"

Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers shook everyone and looked back, and it turned out that Zhang Hu came with firecrackers, incense, candles, and money.

He was going to continue on the halfway, but he was afraid that leaving the government too closely would cause trouble, but he didn't expect that Wuzhou City was making a lot of noise, and someone bought the most valuable coffin in Wuzhou City and went to the government to collect the corpse for people.

Zhang Huzi pondered, and felt curious in his heart, so he couldn't help but rush over, and heard the sound of firecrackers falling to the ground in the coffin from a distance.

At this moment, the whole street suddenly became lively.

It turned out that Xia Xueyi paid for the coffin that Old Man Li bought has always been very famous in Wuzhou City, and the fame of this coffin is not how novel and beautiful its style is.

Its fame is due to the quality of materials used and the difficulty of selling the finished products.

Although the city of Wuzhou is small, it is the only way for caravans to travel from the south to the north, and over time they brought something valuable, such as spruce wood that lives in the extreme cold and north.

At that time, the Ya Tai of Wuzhou City Government was a corrupt official who had no calculations, but he was very willing to spend money on his father, and it happened that his father was seriously ill, so he ordered the longevity store to build a high-quality sleeping coffin for the old lady.

Wuzhou City only covers the weather with one hand, and the arrogant government master ordered the owner of the longevity shop to build the longevity ware for the old lady in the selection of materials must not be tired of luxury and luxury, in a word, as long as it is noble and good-looking, I don't care how much it costs!

However, later, some shrewd people who like to talk about it analyzed that fortunately, the government at that time had a bad thing, otherwise, it was not only the owner of the longevity shop who was unlucky, but I am afraid that even the capital of the tree line was lost, and the reason in this is of course self-evident.

The owner of the longevity shop did wipe a cold sweat fiercely afterwards, and the couple knelt in front of the ancestral Bodhisattva and burned incense and kowtowed, some of the happiness of the rest of their lives; Because according to the situation at that time, if the coffin was really built, the family would be ruined, and if you didn't do it, the family would be ruined.

However, the shopkeeper of the longevity shop was also troubled by the endless debt collection of the owner of the tree shop who was also the survivor of the disaster, and life was worse than death.

Moreover, this coffin is so noble and gorgeous that it has become an unsellable longevity vessel in Wuzhou City.

Because ordinary people have no financial ability to buy at all, and rich people are afraid of being implicated; Sometimes some things are inexplicable; Instead of taking a lot of money to ask for trouble, it is better to start from scratch and buy high-quality wood to build it yourself.

As a result, the coffin has become an artifact that everyone envies, but everyone can't afford to pay for, or is unwilling to buy.

Therefore, the coffin was carried out of the longevity shop by the people who shouted for days, and it had long been rumored by the neighbors, and some good things simply followed to see who bought this famous old man in Wuzhou City.

When they saw that the coffin was going straight to the entrance of the Fuya Street, many versions immediately appeared out of thin air, all kinds of surprises, curiosity and speculation.

When these people finally followed the coffin to the entrance of the Fuya Street, and saw that the people who bought this artifact with a large amount of money turned out to be two beautiful young men with bright clothes and shoes, they were even more engaged in all kinds of bloody gossip and imagination and debates.

Next, didn't these people actually want to see what kind of unjustly imprisoned person was sent to death in the official mansion? But he began to point fingers at Xia Xueyi and Xie Xiang.

Xie Xiang can still control himself, anyway, he was used to this kind of scene when he was in Linhuai: being watched and pointed out by many brainless fans, Xia Xueyi's expression gradually became displeased, and his eyes became more and more cold, as if the street was not a group of people for them at this moment, but a group of wolves.

This situation made Zhang Huzi, who suddenly joined in the fun, excited: how could he let go of such a good opportunity to expand his popularity?

Zhang Huzi didn't know that Ai Ye would have such a strong backing behind him, that Xie Gongzi was so rich and courageous; Listening to everyone's discussions, he quickly knew that what Xie Xiang Ai Ye brought over to collect Li Laohan's body at this moment was actually the famous artifact in Wuzhou City.

Now Zhang Mao really feels like he has a long face.

So, Zhang Huzi grabbed the money banknote he was holding in his arms and threw it at the coffin exaggeratedly, pretending to wail as he sprinkled: "Uncle Li, benefactor, you go all the way!" ”

The atmosphere at the entrance of the entire Fuya Street became desolate because of Ai Ye's crying and bearded bluffing wail, and some elderly people on the street began to wipe away their tears.

Xia Xueyi, who was full of unhappiness, suddenly had a feeling of wanting to look up to the sky and smile.

As a bystander, he felt that it was already ridiculous for him and Xie Xiang to suddenly intervene in this kind of grief and grief of someone else's home, and the wailing of Zhang's beard made him feel a kind of worldly hypocrisy and funny.

I don't know if there was such a neighbor who made such a funny but hypocritical and desolate wail for his parents when his family was slaughtered.

Unfortunately, he was too young to remember much at that time.

Xia Xueyi thought of Uncle Qin, who treated him like a mountain.

His gaze fell on the tall and luxurious coffin; Yes, if you have a chance, it's time to replace Qin Boye with a better coffin than this one.

He didn't have the power to do it before, but now, he almost forgot.

I don't know why, Xia Xueyi's heart suddenly swelled with a little feeling, fortunately I met Xie Xiang in Wuzhou City this time, and then met such a thing again, otherwise, I really owe Uncle Qin too much.

I should do something for Uncle Qin, even if it is the slightest bit to make up for it.

No one paid attention, and a little condensation in Xia Xueyi's eyes began to gradually dissipate.

Chen Gang is obviously very good at doing things that are homeless and ownerless, he asked everyone to carefully uncover the reed mat wrapped in Li Laohan's body, and used the reed mat to cover the sky on Li Laohan's face, and then he was not afraid of the terrible smell on Li Laohan's body, and quickly changed the free shroud given by the shopkeeper of the longevity store for Li Laohan.

Everyone was preparing to open the lid of the coffin in a chaotic manner, and when Li Laohan entered the coffin, a master suddenly ran out of the gate of the mansion and shouted angrily at Li Zhutou: "Who is making a lot of noise here? How dare you disturb the grandfather? ”

At the gate of the government office, those who were originally holding a killing stick and turned a blind eye to the scene in front of them, quickly put on a menacing posture and shouted in unison: "Mighty ......"

Everyone was immediately frightened, except for the grieving Ai Ye, who was still crying in a dumb voice, and the suona-like wailing of Zhang Huzi stopped abruptly.

Xia Xueyi had already heard someone in the crowd sneering very quietly: "Let's just say that there is no movement in such a big oil and water, I don't know if I am the first, now I have a good show...... The peeling master ran out, and it is estimated that Li Zhutou can't hold it back. ”

"That's it, I'm afraid that even the affairs of the Li Mansion will be put aside for the time being, I'm afraid this Li Laohan won't be able to sleep in such a good coffin."

"Qi, I think it's because the master is in a hurry to sleep ......"

"Shhh Beware of being heard! ”

"No diamond dares to work on porcelain? Those who dare to carry this coffin in front of the government are probably not so easy to blackmail, so let's wait and see. ”

"Sir, it's all because I didn't arrange things well, and I disturbed the grandfather, and after a while, I went in person to confess the guilt to the grandfather, and I told them to leave quickly, leave quickly!"

There was also a trace of panic on Li Zhutou's face, and he nodded at the master and said.
