Chapter 376: Turning Hands into Clouds 7
The next day was the wedding of Kong Li and Second Sister You.
In the afternoon in the advertising office, Jia Wei had a specific talk with Jia Yun who arrived, and when it was close to the unitary (five o'clock in the afternoon), he got into a carriage and went to Kong Li's house in Nancheng.
The auspicious time for Kong Li and Second Sister You to get married was set at the second quarter of the morning (8:30 p.m.), and he passed at this time, and there was quite plenty of time.
Of course, this kind of big day of marriage, some people go early in the morning, but they are all close relatives and friends, although Jia Wei is Kong Li's proprietor, and his personal relationship is not bad, but it has not reached that level after all, so it is not rude to pass at this time.
About half an hour, when I came to Kong Li's house, the courtyard was very lively, and there were forty or fifty tables of seats.
After sitting in the courtyard for a while, some colleagues from the newspaper office also arrived, including all the staff of the editorial department and the heads of other departments.
Everyone sat in one place, laughing and talking, while waiting for the wedding sedan chair to come back.
As early as a few days ago, Jia Wei sent You Lao Niang and the You sisters back to the countryside in the suburbs of Beijing, so the sedan chair had to go all the way to the suburbs of Beijing to welcome relatives, and it would take at least three or four hours to go back and forth.
Kong Li's sedan chair departed at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was roughly estimated that it would not return until around midnight.
Sure enough, when the hour passed, there was a lively sound of the sedan chair coming back, and then, it was called the door behind closed doors, making it difficult, and then the woman sprinkled the happy bag, and the sedan chair entered the door.
After a series of marriage ceremonies, the newlyweds worship heaven and earth and are sent to the cave room.
After a while, after drinking the wine in the cave room, the bridegroom stood up and toasted the tables, and was finally helped into the cave room drunk. Seeing this, Lin Yongfu couldn't help wiping his face, the eighth day of the next month was the auspicious day for him to marry Liu Wu'er, and he was worried that the night of his own cave room would also be filled with this appearance.
The excitement continued, and after Haizheng, the guests gradually dispersed, and Jia Wei also boarded the bus to return to Rongfu.
……
In Xicheng, Bangzi knocked on the third watch (one o'clock in the morning), and the whole city was quiet, only the occasional sound of the guard and the patrol of the Soldiers and Horses Division.
At this moment, a few figures slipped out of the immortal temple, and it was the beggar who walked in front.
By the light of the moon, the men walked all the way west along the alley path, without alerting the patrolmen on the street outside, and after about half an hour, they stopped in an alley near the city gate.
Squatting in the dark place to rest for half a cup of tea, and ate some dry food snacks, the beggar got up first, made a gesture, everyone to a small courtyard, over the wall, the big courtyard inside, the front of the three rooms, the east side of the house thundered like a burst of snoring, the beggar reached out to push the door of the east house, it was hidden, a push opened half of the door.
The beggar couldn't help sneering, "This guy sleeps peacefully, and the door is not tethered, hehe, I'm afraid I can't dream of it, death is coming!" ”
The beggars behind also sneered.
Everyone immediately rushed in, it was nearly fifteen, and it was a sunny day, and the moonlight was bright, penetrating into the house, only to see a big man lying on the kang bed, with a thick beard, his arms and legs were covered with sweat and hair, and he was half-open and snoring.
The beggar gestured to a few of his subordinates, then pulled out a bull-eared knife from his waist, and several beggars pounced on it, pressing their hands and pressing their feet, and one of them grabbed the clothes of the big man on the kang bed and covered the big man's mouth.
At the same time, the sharp knife in the beggar's hand slashed through an arc of light, and stabbed vigorously into the big man's chest until he had no handle.
The big man's eyes opened suddenly, staring at the beggar like a bull's eye, his mouth made a whimpering sound, and his hands and feet struggled violently.
The beggar succeeded with a knife, without the slightest delay, the knife fell in his hand, and he stabbed several times in succession, until it was confirmed that the big man was dead, and then he rubbed the blade on the big man and received it back to his waist.
Several beggars also let go of their hands at this time, and they all sat on the kang bed and gasped for breath.
"Hehe, although our Immortal Temple has done a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason, it is not that it has done good things, just like this blacksmith Zhou, he is a person who should be killed!" The beggar didn't sit down, put one foot on the edge of the kang, stretched out his finger and pointed to the corpse of the big man who was already dead and couldn't die anymore, and said with a sneer.
"What the leader said is that this guy bullies men and women in this area, the neighborhood can't afford to provoke him, and he can't reach the lawsuit, and the government can't control it, let's take action tonight, which can be regarded as a big harm." A beggar said.
"Hey, having said that, but speaking of which, if there is no employer willing to pay us to kill him, where can our Immortal Temple manage such a bird thing!" The other beggar scoffed disapprovingly.
"Entering the mother, sweeping Lao Tzu's Xing!" The beggar smiled and scolded at the beggar.
The rest of the beggars couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, they went out of the house, went to the two large vats under the eaves, stripped off their clothes, washed them from head to toe, and at the end of the day, they scrubbed their clothes again, and washed the blood that had been splashed.
This kind of large tank is prepared in every house, and when there is rain, it will hold rainwater, and when there is no rain, it will carry water to fill it in case of fire.
Therefore, the water in it can not be called clean, but where do these beggars pay attention to this, their brows are not wrinkled, they wash it well, and after washing, they directly put the wet clothes and pants on their bodies, and it is a summer night, and it will be dry after a while.
Everything was in order, and everyone walked out of the courtyard, when the beggar suddenly froze, frowning, as if he had thought of something.
A few beggars looked at each other, but they didn't dare to urge the leader, so they had to wait by the side.
The beggar frowned for a while, then slapped his thigh hard, "Well, that's it!" ”
He turned around and said to a few of his men, "Go in and find two sacks, put the blacksmith's body on this week, and get rid of it!" ”
"Why is that?"
Several beggars were confused, killed people and took away the corpses, but there was no more matter, unless the employer had this explanation, but this time the employer did not confess.
"What nonsense, just do what Lao Tzu said! Hurry up for Lao Tzu! Hearing this, the beggar was quite impatient, and his eyes widened and he shouted.
Seeing that the head was angry, several beggars hurriedly went into the house to find the sacks, and finally found two at the back of the hall, put the body of the blacksmith Zhou on the body, and tied it with a thin rope. The beggar then instructed a few of his men to tie up the blood-stained mat and everything on the kang bed, and find another thing from the house and place it on the kang bed.
Several beggars also guessed a few points at this time, and the leader's move was clearly to disguise the illusion that Blacksmith Zhou did not die in his own yard.
The people went to the water tank again to wash their hands, and then carried the body of the blacksmith and left.
According to the beggar's instructions, he went all the way to the north, resting a few times on the road, until after the fourth watch, he came to the Beicheng Shangjing Daily Office, and the beggar ordered a few of his men to go down to the sack, and threw the body of Zhou Blacksmith into the courtyard wall of the Shangjing Daily Office, and everyone quickly dispersed, taking advantage of the night, each sneaking back to the Xicheng Immortal Temple.
