Chapter 41: A dispute over the burial
The evening breeze blew faintly, swept through the two large courtyards, swept away the dead branches and leaves, but could not sweep away the mournful blood stains.
A large group of handmaidens were busy, washing the blood and dirt on the ground and collecting the bodies of innocent and tragic deaths. Some people on the side sobbed quietly, and some people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, wanting to have a great friendship with those victims on weekdays.
Zou Changxi wiped her tears, her mood was very heavy. When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven, and it really beeps the dog.
In just one night, there were thirty-four maidservants, who were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Xiliang army. Only the maid hiding in the room was lucky enough to pick up a life, but she was also scared.
Xiaoping said solemnly: "Miss, after the slaves and maids are counted, the deceased maids will be excluded, and there are eighty-seven maidservants in the house." ”
"I see." Zou Changxi nodded and said, "You go and ask them." Do you want to stay and accompany us south to Jiangdong, or do you want to regain your freedom? As long as they are willing to leave the house, I will return the deed of sale and pay severance pay to earn a living. ”
Now the princes of all walks of life are grabbing territory in the Central Plains, but there is no owner in the southeast half of the wall, only bandits attack the city and land, or the local clan forces are divided.
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished! She decided in her heart, so she used Jiangdong as a springboard to enter the political stage of the late Han Dynasty.
An hour ago, Xiu Gu was insulted in person, and it might be her turn at any time, and she had enough of the aggrieved powerlessness she had endured.
She vows to become stronger and take complete control of her destiny. She wants to be in Jiangdong, she wants to compete for the stream, she wants to bring 100,000 armor, she wants to drink the Yellow River, she wants to open up the territory and establish the country, and she wants to stand out from the crowd......
No matter who or who, dare to go to the brain, covet her beauty, and kill them all!
Of course, knowing is one thing, and doing is another, which is easier said than done. She hasn't figured out exactly how to do it, only a general idea.
Anyway, while walking, I thought that there would be a solution, and the living could not let the urine suffocate to death, so go to Jiangdong first to understand the customs and customs, and then formulate a detailed combat strategy.
"Miss's intention, the slave maid understood. Then I went and asked them whether they were going or staying. ”
Xiaoping bent down and lowered her head, and slowly retreated, Zou Changxi stopped her and said, "Wait a minute." If you want to leave, I'll give you back your freedom. ”
"Although the slave maid did not sign the deed of sale at the beginning, the young lady treated her sincerely, and the slave and maid always kept it in mind, and she had already identified the young lady in this life."
Xiaoping's tone was firm: "No matter where the young lady wants to go, the slave is willing to accompany you." ”
"I see what you mean." Zou Changxi waved his hand and said, "You will definitely not regret your choice today, go down and do your business." ”
After Xiaoping retreated, Yang Qun ran in and said impatiently: "Little girl, I just heard from Steward Huang that you ordered thirty-five thin-skinned coffins and a high-quality rosewood coffin, what do you mean?" ”
"Tonight, there was an accident in the house, thirty-six people died, I ordered thirty-six coffins, is there anything wrong?"
"Thirty-six coffins are true, but you only ordered one of the high-quality rosewood coffins. Are you planning to bury my master and maidservant together? ”
"Yes. So what? ”
"Do you know what you're doing?" Yang Qun scolded angrily: "You are a big rebel! You're going against humanity! ”
He knew the truth, and the master explained that the master disappeared and disappeared, and the daughter became ill with grief and lost her father's memory, so as not to irritate her again, Cai Yang was not allowed to be mentioned in the future.
Now that I think about it, there must be another inside story, an unknown inside story.
"What I'm doing, I know very well. It's that beast who has lost his conscience, and he can't stand our sisters. ”
Zou Changxi sneered: "I am willing to bury that beast, all for the sake of my sister's face." Otherwise, a person like him doesn't even have the qualifications to be buried, he only deserves to expose the corpse to the wilderness, the corpse is gnawed by wild dogs, and the corpse is ......"
"Enough!" Yang Qun shouted, wanting to tell the truth of the matter, but thinking that before the master died, he told the master not to say it, maybe the truth is difficult to tell, and it is impossible to say it after all.
He sighed and said, "I don't know, what my master did wrong, that's your privacy, and I don't want to snoop on ......"
"But I have already instructed Steward Huang to order a high-grade rosewood coffin, and expand the original size, which is enough for the master and the mother to be buried together."
Zou Changxi said angrily: "Okay, you are a yang group, you respect the teacher, and you want a beautiful funeral, I have nothing to say." But your sister is my sister, why are you messing with your ideas, have you gotten my consent? ……”
"That beast is filthy, what qualifications do you have to be buried with my sister, what qualifications do you have to defile my sister?"
"My wife and my master had a deep relationship with each other in the past, and they did not hesitate to take poison and die for themselves." Yang Qun advised: "I think the master has a spirit in the sky, and it is also her wish to be buried together, since you are her sister, you should respect her wish." ”
Zou Changxi's heart softened: "Actually, I also know that it is my sister's wish to be buried together, but I just can't accept his ......"
"Trust me, I won't hurt you." Yang Qun patted her on the shoulder: "My master is dead, any hatred should be cleared, you have to learn to accept him, learn to forgive him, learn to ......"
"Okay, don't bother. Don't talk about that, I promise you that it is. ”
Zou Changxi changed the topic and said: "Right now, the Xiliang Army is wantonly plundering Chenliu counties, and no one can know when it will raid Yingchuan......
"The war is dangerous, and it cannot be postponed. In my opinion, it is better to leave sooner rather than later, at most until the day after tomorrow, and you must leave with your baggage, do we have enough caravan ships? ”
"Little girl, no, no, it's the owner. It's called used to it, and I can't change my mouth a little. ”
Yang Qun smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, the hall owner. Zhao Gongzi has an intention to accompany us to leave Yingchuan. He had a wide range of friends, not only did he have friends to accompany him, but he was also able to borrow merchant ships from Chen. ”
"Then I'm relieved. Zhao Gongzi, how are people? His injuries are so serious, what does Dr. Fan say, will there be sequelae? ”
"There is no danger to life. However, the sequelae depend on the recovery in the later stage, after all, it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones. ”
Zou Changxi looked at Yang Qun, with several bandages on his body, "You three senior brothers are also not lightly injured, you must take good care of your body......"
"Let's board the boat from Yingshui, the Huai River is relatively safe. However, the tributaries of the Yangtze River are staggered, and I don't know how many water thieves are entrenched, so we must not take it lightly and beware of capsizing in the gutter. ”
"Don't worry too much." Yang Qun comforted: "You also said just now, the tributaries of the Yangtze River are staggered, as long as we are cautious and try to avoid those water thieves, there will naturally be no danger......
"What's more, my injuries are fine, and there are many ruthless characters in the guild hall, the one who doesn't open his eyes dares to jump out, and I just use it to practice the kamikaze sword technique."
Yang Qun was still gesturing with his hands as he spoke. Zou Changxi raised her cheeks and said, "You must keep the knife score I gave you." When I arrive in Jiangdong and have free time, I will also practice swordsmanship to defend myself. ”
"What? You...... Want to practice swordsmanship? ”
"What kind of eyes are you? You doubt I can't do it, do you? Tell you that the old lady is surprised by her bones, she is a one-in-a-million martial arts wizard! ”
"Bone surprise, martial arts wizard, why do I feel that what you are talking about is me."
"Just like your bear, you can't even win against Zhang Xiu, and you still have the face to be called a martial arts wizard. You're so shameless, I've never seen such a brazen person! ”
"That was before, at most a year, and when I practiced the knife technique, I beat him all over the ground to find teeth."
