In Fengtian City, the funeral procession lined up a few hundred meters away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Delin's funeral was a combination of Chinese and Western, including car opening, military escort, and traditional flower banner umbrella and money Luo hanging. There were thirty or forty people who were specifically responsible for carrying paper people, paper horses, and paper sedan chairs, and the cries shook the sky along the way, throwing paper money everywhere.

The coffin went along the main road in the city and went straight to the south gate.

The south gate of Mukden is a triumphal arch, which can only be walked after a victory or a celebration. Since the late Ming Dynasty general Li Chengliang, Feng Delin was the first to go out of the south gate for funeral in hundreds of years.

In fact, Feng Delin died in the old mansion in Beizhen, and for the sake of the funeral, the body was transported to Fengtian City for the funeral.

Zhang Zuolin personally presided over the funeral, did a few days of water and land dojos, and held a grand memorial service, and then sent the body to be buried outside the city.

After Feng Delin's coffin was buried in the ground, Zhang Zuolin and his son returned to Tianjin overnight, but the funeral was not over.

Zhang Zuolin said that he wanted a grand funeral, and according to his meaning, the funeral must be held for 7749 days. Therefore, in the old house in Beizhen, there will be flowing water banquets for the next dozens of days, and there will be a white affairs hall meeting, and the opera troupe will be invited to sing a big opera.

The stage was babbling and singing, and the guests in the audience were yelling at five to drink and six to eat and drink. This face is not like a funeral, but like a happy event.

Zhou Hexuan sat silently at the dinner table, looking at the lively church meeting, and suddenly felt very ridiculous and weird.

This funeral was extravagant, and it is estimated that it will cost more than 100,000 oceans. Outside the Feng family's manor, the peasants are struggling to survive, and they are about to have a spring famine -- the autumn grain is about to run out, and the summer grain has not been harvested.

And the attitude of the peasants is also worth pondering, many of them have borrowed money from the Feng family, occupied land by the Feng family, and been urged by the Feng family to live rent, so it stands to reason that they should resent the Feng family.

But the flowing water of the funeral feast diluted the hatred, because there was no money, everyone could come and eat with an open belly, and it would be forty-nine days to eat. The nearby farmers and villagers were all red and red, and their mouths were reading the good of Master Feng, as if Feng Delin was a great good man before his death.

"He Xuan, don't mind if you don't take care of it." Feng Yong, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, came over and said.

Zhou Hexuan said: "You are filial piety, don't worry about me." What are your plans for the future? ”

Feng Yong said: "I have resigned from the military and will stay in the northeast to run a school in the future." It is necessary not only to run free primary schools, but also to run free universities. ”

Sure enough, history still returned to the original trajectory, Feng Yong's university, in a few years, he could scatter his family wealth, but it also cultivated a group of science and engineering talents and anti-Japanese volunteers for China.

On the third day of the Liushui funeral banquet, just as Zhou Hexuan was about to return to Tianjin, Feng Yong suddenly summoned the peasants in a radius of ten miles and eight townships.

Feng Yong stood on the stage of the opening meeting and sang a big opera, with several large boxes at his feet. He opened the box and said: "Here are everyone's loan IOUs and uncollected tenant vouchers, my old Feng family has done something wrong in the past, and I ask you to don't care." From now on, we don't owe each other. Someone, bring the brazier! ”

In Zhou Hexuan's surprised gaze, Feng Yong set fire to all those IOUs and tenants, threw them into the iron basin and burned them.

"I'm grass,!" Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but whisper to himself.

The tenant farmers were also stunned, and ecstasy ensued. Suddenly, a peasant knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "Master Feng is benevolent and righteous, Master Feng will live a long life!" ”

Hulala knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Yong sincerely, and many people laughed while crying. This fire is insignificant to Feng Yong, but to them it is related to their lives, and some people may not have to sell their children and daughters because of this.

Zhou Hexuan shook his head amusedly, he was wondering if he would have the same courage as Feng Yong if he was replaced by himself.

It's all money, a few big boxes!

The peasants couldn't kneel for a long time, and Feng Yong left after burning the debts, he was unwilling to accept this kind of worship.

Zhou Hexuan caught up, gave a thumbs up and said, "Fifth master, you are this." ”

"Don't call me Fifth Master, I'm not an official anymore, I'll call me Fifth Brother in the future," Feng Yong smiled indifferently, "Don't think of me as noble." The peasants are so poor, what is the point of making money from hard haha? In the future, I want industry to save the country, and make money to run an industry! ”

Okay, Zhou Hexuan remembered that the Feng family still ran a mining factory by themselves. That is a big deal that makes money every day, and it is completely possible to ignore a few rents of the peasants.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Then I wish the fifth brother success in running a school and opening a factory!" ”

"Borrow the good words of the virtuous brother!" Feng Yong took out his matching gun, slapped it on Zhou Hexuan's hand and said, "I don't think I will leave the Northeast in two or three years, this one is for self-defense." ”

"Thank you, Fifth Brother." Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists.

Feng Yong patted Zhou Hexuan on the shoulder: "Take care all the way!" ”

Zhou Hexuan returned to Fengtian in a car sent by Feng Yong, and then took a train to Tianjin.

In the car, the Sun brothers were still discussing Feng Yong's righteous deeds, and they all said that Feng Wuye was a benevolent and righteous hero, a hundred times stronger than the landlord in their hometown.

Zhou Hexuan played with the gun given to him by Feng Yong, which was a Browning M1900, commonly known as the "gun brand", the favorite pistol of Chinese nowadays.

The clattering sound quickly attracted Sun Yonghao, and the kid's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "Sir, play with it." ”

Zhou Hexuan threw the gun over: "I'll help you get two another day, and you can fight back in case of a sudden accident." ”

"That's good." Sun Yonghao said happily. His kung fu is not as good as his brother Sun Yongzhen, but his marksmanship is better than a week, and when he practiced guns at the Tianjin shooting range, he often scored good results.

Sun Yonghao continued to play with the gun, and Zhou Hexuan didn't bother to care about him, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep. This trip is a long distance, Zhou Hexuan chose to take a first-class carriage, with a bed and a table, and a special restaurant to eat, so he didn't have to sit and suffer.

The next morning, the train pulled into Tianjin Main Station.

Zhou Hexuan found that there were more soldiers in the station, all of them standing solemnly with their guns on their shoulders. Passengers with large luggage are also subject to strict inspections, and it is useless to pay bribes, and those who serve in the army do not receive money at all.

Why is this happening?

Because Zhang Zuolin wanted to kneel in the Tianjin vegetable garden to worship the sky, he was officially inaugurated as the commander-in-chief of the Angolan Army. In addition, Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang served as deputy commanders, and Yang Yuting served as general counselor.

Zhang Zongchang, a dogmeat general, can be a deputy commander, you can imagine what the Anguo Army looks like!

After getting off the train and walking out of the booth, Zhou Hexuan suddenly heard a child's cry.

Lu Yin coaxed her crying daughter and looked at the searching soldiers with an angry expression. Both of her suitcases were opened, her clothes and books were turned around, and even a woman's underwear was thrown on the floor.

"Alright, you can go. Next! The soldier said impatiently.

Zhou Hexuan was walking by here, catching a glimpse of a few "Novel Monthly" in the box, as well as a membership card of the Literary Research Association. He hesitated to stop, took out the candy (leftover from the first class train of the locomotive) and handed it to the little girl and said, "Don't cry, uncle will give you candy to eat." ”

The little girl was afraid of life, so she was so frightened that she quickly turned her head and lay in her mother's arms.

Lu Yin smiled reluctantly: "Thank you Mr. for your kindness, it's not good for children to eat too much sugar." ”

"You're a writer?" Zhou Hexuan inquired, "It just so happens that I am also contributing to the "Novel Monthly". ”

Lu Yin was a little surprised, but she didn't expect to meet her peers, she introduced herself and said: "My name is Huang Shuyi, and my pen name is Lu Yin." ”

"My name is Zhou Hexuan." Zhou Hexuan said.

"You are Mr. Zhou!" Lu Yin exclaimed loudly.
