Time back to early morning.

As soon as the morning dawned, hundreds of funeral processions had gathered outside the gate of Tianfu.

The Han Dynasty and the funeral rites also basically follow the five-service system of the Zhou rites, which are divided into five service systems, such as beheading, Qi decay, great merit, small merit and hemp.

According to the rules of the Zhou Rites, the closer the blood relationship with the deceased, the heavier the uniform, and vice versa.

In the funeral procession, Tian Lan and Tian Qiang, who were at the top of the line, were parents and children, dressed in pure white filial piety clothes; The cousins and uncles wore dark blue thick coats.

As for the distant cousins who came out of the five suits, those who are still willing to come today are wearing dark green filial piety clothes.

Everyone's filial piety clothes are covered with a layer of coarse linen.

The witch doctor (1) at the gate let out a long and strange sound, and a wooden coffin was lifted out of the gate and came to the front of the procession.

Then, the second coffin was also carried out...

Looking at the two wooden coffins in front of her and one behind, Tian Lan's face was full of indifference, patted her brother Tian Qiang, who was crying silently, and nodded slightly to the witch doctor in front of the door.

"From~"

With a long tone from the witch doctor, the mighty funeral procession moved, slowly moving towards the direction of the arsenal along the streets outside Qiliwai.

※※※※※※※※※※

Walking at the front of the team, Tian Lan did not squint, and his eyes were locked on the arsenal about a mile away.

Walking through Qili, the team that should continue to walk forward suddenly stopped, and beside Tian Lan at the front of the team, dozens of stout men held sticks and galloped towards the end of the team.

Everyone in the team was confused, and they saw that the team began to move forward again.

It's just...

The procession did not continue to the north in the direction of Zhangtai Street, but turned right on the spot and headed towards the north of Weiyang Palace, which was about fifty paces away!

By the time the Tian people found out that the route had deviated, Tian Lan and Tian Qiang at the front of the team, as well as the two wooden coffins carried by the slaves, had already come to the north less than ten steps away!

At the end of the team, the housekeeper also led dozens of family members, competing with a team of ruffians and hooligans who followed the funeral procession all the way!

Regularly knocking the short stick in his hand on the palm of his left hand, Steward Tian looked at one of the ruffians with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency has been inspecting the Tian family's mansion for three days, right?"

Hearing this, the man stopped hiding, and stood out from the group of hooligans, his face solemn - it was the ruffian who was noticed by Steward Tian outside the side gate of Tianfu yesterday.

"Tian's matter is not Du Gong's fault; If you are still loyal and righteous, you should persuade Tian Shaojun not to make mistakes and avoid being killed! ”

Steward Tian sneered, full of sarcasm: "Your Excellency is so worried about the Tian family's family affairs, if it is not good to entertain guests, but my Tian family does not know how to count..."

After that, the housekeeper turned his head and saw that the young master had approached Beique, so he let go of his last doubts and looked at him decisively.

The depression that had been suppressed for many days finally found an outlet, and the old housekeeper took a breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Second and third sons, do it, don't hurt people's lives!" ”

As he spoke, the old butler picked up a short stick and rushed to the ranks of the ruffians twenty paces away, stunned.

"Afterwards, the young master rewarded people with a thousand dollars!"

With a loud shout, the short stick in the old butler's hand smashed into the shoulder blade of the ruffian before, and a crisp cracking sound came out.

Behind them, the family members who reacted to the 'reward' for this operation also relieved themselves, and rushed forward with a scream, and hit the ruffians with a mess.

was suddenly hit with a stick, and the shoulder blade of the ruffian was broken, but as if he didn't feel pain, he glared angrily and pulled out the long sword at his waist: "Diao slave!! ”

※※※※※※※※※※

When Liu Hong heard the sound of drumming and appeared in Beique under the reminder of Worm Da, outside Beique, it was already a pot of porridge.

At the foot of the palace wall, the Dengwen drum set up by Taizu Liu Bang and has been dusty for more than 20 years is being beaten hard by a young man who is dressed in plain clothes.

Behind the young man, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the coffins of the two coffins, and the composition of the personnel was extremely complicated: there were soldiers in red robes and court captains in soap-colored uniforms; Even in the crowd, Liu Hong saw the forbidden army warrior with black armor and a bronze helmet on his head!

The wide streets had already heard the noise, and the people who had gathered in the north to watch were full; Across the street, at the mouth of Qili Alley, dozens of ragged people were escorted by the Northern Army patrol to kneel at the base of the wall...

Rao is a hundred steps away, and Liu Hong can also roughly see it: there is blood everywhere at the mouth of the alley; Several corpses were carried to the side of the road - the corpse cloth was already covered!

Looking at all this, Liu Hong tried his best to suppress his excitement and put on a confused face.

"I'm here!"

"Who hits the drum?"

A loud and slightly immature voice came out, resounding through the sky of Beique.

I saw that the young man in front of the huge drum who ignored the sergeant's obstruction and only cared about himself and beat the drum violently heard the sound, and laboriously cushioned the inertia of the drum hammer, and fell to the ground fiercely.

Boom!

Rao is standing on the three-zhang high palace wall, and Liu Hong can clearly hear the sound of the young man's knees colliding with the stone steps under the giant drum.

"The grass people are wronged, and your majesty is in charge!"

Hearing this, Liu Hong looked at the insect around him, and the joy in his eyes could no longer be hidden!

Since that day, after Lang Zhong ordered Cao Yan to blockade Weiyang Palace on the grounds that 'an assassin has infiltrated the Weiyang Palace and his whereabouts are unknown', Liu Hong has almost no knowledge of the outside world!

Even Worm Da was only at the palace gate, and when he saw the children and nephews who came to visit, he got a few vague words of "food prices have skyrocketed" and "the people are not making a living".

And this is undoubtedly a life-urging talisman for Liu Hong!

It is true that Liu Hong has long guessed that no matter what he does, the price of grain in Guanzhong will inevitably rise; The only thing Liu Hong could do was to order the opening of the Shaofu granary.

Liu Hong was not even sure whether the Shaofu had sprinkled the 150,000 stone of rice grain into the market in accordance with his instructions, according to the household registration certificate issued by the villager (sè), and each household should not buy more than 10 stone per day'.

As the news from the insect became worse and worse, and there was even a major incident of starvation outside the gate, Liu Hong had already prepared for the worst: it was a big deal to hide in the Taimiao Temple on the grounds of bathing and fasting!

Forgive Chen Ping for having the courage to go into the Taimiao to take Liu Hong - at this point, how could Liu Hong not understand that Chen Ping was already planning to do something to him?

Liu Hong even seriously suspected that Qin Mu and Wang Zhong were deliberately released by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo to send the edict!

As for the purpose, it is also very simple: to distinguish between the enemy and our camp, and to cleanse the hostile forces by taking advantage of the matter of the price of grain in Guanzhong.

When Chen Ping turned the tide and set an example for the monkeys, Liu Hongdi's death was not far away...

At such a critical juncture, the Dengwen drum was actually beaten!

Liu Hong even secretly decided: No matter who he knows, he will be given a big 'Liu Loyal Minister' medal!

PS: I checked it in every possible way, and finally got the most reliable statement: the Han family witch and doctor have not yet separated, that is to say, the magician warlock can also point the pulse technique, and the rural field doctor is also a part-time dancer. Therefore, it is most reasonable to use the witch doctor to be in charge of the funeral rites.
