On October 27 of the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, 'A did not open a position, and the financial exhaustion was exhausted, and Shen Fu was buried sneakily into the house'.

Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Today is the day of the funeral held by Pang Hao, a fellow acquaintance of Jiaozhi, for his wife and brother Wang Tong.

Since the major bloody case occurred in Jiaozhi City three days ago, the entire Jiaozhi City has become a rumor, and almost every day, there will be officials of the county government and the prefect's office, shuttling through the city of Jiaozhi, for those who are new to the city, or who usually have a criminal record, to carry out key interrogations.

Originally, the people were somewhat surprised by today's events, but more often they were happy and relieved.

You must know that the Wang family was originally a big family in Jiaozhi City, but the old lady Wang and Mrs. Wang, because they were mistakenly killed by the mountain bandits outside Jiaozhi City, the Wang family declined, if it wasn't for Wang Yue's husband Pang Hao was promoted to Jiaozhi Tongzhi, I am afraid that the Wang family would have disappeared, after all, this is very common in Jiaozhi City.

Wang Tong's goods, used to rely on the power of the Wang family, in the city has always been used to being powerful, even if the Wang family declined, but also relying on Pang Hao's momentum, still in the city to do their own thing, see who is not pleasing to the eye will go up to fat beating, which girl you like, just throw some silver and go home directly...... In short, Wang Tong's goods can be said to be tired of being ten thousand people in Jiaozhi City, no one is waiting to see him, this time Wang Tong died in Jiaozhi City for no reason, and the people will only celebrate with a crown, so they don't care who killed him.

For today's Pang Hao's funeral for Wang Tong, if you have a heart, you will definitely be able to see this matter thoroughly.

First, in addition to Wang Tong, there is only one Wang Yue left in the Wang family who has already married, that is, Pang Hao's wife, in this way, the people who can mourn for Wang Tong are no one else except Wang Yue, this is also Pang Hao's order to win a good reputation for himself, maybe the court will know about it, and it will be rewarded!

These two are actually just to collect money, and the people who come to worship can't come to the funeral empty-handed, right?

The so-called two major events in life, birth and death, you can't give money when you are born with a full moon, and you won't give it away when you die, right?

At that time, no matter who comes to worship Wang Tong, for the sake of Pang Hao's face, he will always send a congratulatory ceremony.

Therefore, early in the morning, the palace of Jiaozhi City has been arranged, and the original huge palace of the royal family has become a little empty after the death of the master, but fortunately, Pang Hao came forward in time to take care of the palace, not only is it full of white cloths, but even the main hall has been arranged into a mourning hall.

The unlucky Wang Tong does not learn and has no skills, although he has been married once, but within three months, the bride was divorced, and the reasons given made people cry and laugh, and they actually felt that it was very boring to live a life of marriage.

For this kind of reason, the county government will not agree to divorce his wife, but who let this guy's brother-in-law be Pang Hao?

The bride was divorced for unknown reasons, and what is even more tragic is that the two got along for three months without leaving a seed, which also made the filial sons and grandchildren in the mourning hall embarrassed.

Because the filial sons and grandsons kneeling in the mourning hall at this moment were all hired by Pang Hao with money, as for Pang Hao's son Pang Zhongxiao, with Pang Hao's character, he would never let his son come to fight against his wife and brother.

…… Speaking of which, this dead man's mourning is actually the same as a newcomer's marriage, everyone wants to be beautiful and lively in red and white affairs, after all, this kind of thing is also a time to show connections, and no one wants to be looked down upon.

In the early hours of the morning, all kinds of small traders had already come to the boundary of seven or eight feet outside the gate of the palace, and spread out their stalls along this wide street that ran from east to west, or selling snacks and breakfast, or selling candy men and small toys, and even more, selling elegiac couplets and paper money on both sides of the street.

With the attraction of these hawkers, the people of Jiaozhi City, who originally had the 'tradition' of joining in the fun, gathered from all directions of Jiaozhi City, either eating snacks or taking their children, and stayed in front of those small stalls.

The originally wide and spacious streets, because of the influx of these small traders and the people of Jiaozhi City, have become extremely narrow, if it weren't for the fact that Pang Hao saw that the streets were almost blocked and sent people to clean up, I am afraid that those who came to worship Wang Tong would not even be able to enter this street, let alone worship or something.

After everything was dealt with, there were already two rows standing outside the palace, a total of more than 20 young people dressed in white filial piety clothes, and holding a white short stick made of mourning sticks, they were the thugs raised by Pang Hao, because there were not enough people in Wang Tong's mansion, Pang Hao pulled them all over to maintain order.

At this moment, as Wang Tong's brother-in-law, Pang Hao also needs to wrap a wide cloth around his waist, in order to welcome the worshippers, Pang Hao can be said to have put on a good face, and he waited at the gate early in the morning.

"Oh, Brother Li, why are you here too."

The time had just passed four o'clock, and when a group of people riding brown and yellow horses came from the entrance of the street, Pang Hao's eyes lit up, and he even came up to greet him in person.

"Hahaha, huge man, no matter what my brother says, he is also my brother, he was killed a few days ago for no apparent reason, I, as a brother, have to come and see what I say."

Riding on the brown and yellow tall horse at the front was a strong man with a height of nine feet, not only burly, but also with a fierce expression on his face.

"Then I really want to thank Brother Li."

Pang Hao arched his hand to the strong man and sighed: "My unsuccessful brother, it doesn't make people worry when he dies, and he leaves me a big mess, it's really tricky to think about!" ”

Swish!

A beautiful landing, the strong man jumped off the horse, and said to Pang Hao: "The huge people feel that something tricky must be extremely troublesome!" I, Li Guang, still have some energy in this Jiaozhi, if there is any use for a huge person, I must speak, Li Guangding will try his best to help! ”

Li Guang!

Don't get me wrong, this guy is not the flying general of Dahan, but the third-ranked bandit in Jiaozhi!

Li Guang's sphere of influence is near the border of Guangxi, where there is a mountain named Qingfeng Mountain, which sounds like a good place for green mountains and green waters, but in fact it has been occupied by Li Guang for ten years.

Such a bandit actually came to give Wang Tong a ride in person, I really don't know what the connection between them is!

"Brother Xie Li is kind, if you can't do it in the future, I will definitely send someone to ask Brother Li for help."

Pang Hao is not a rigid person, and when he is not sure of the goal, he will not say it to the fullest, so as not to end it hard.

"Good!"

Li Guang nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at the two subordinates behind him, and said, "You guys, go and carry the things on the back of the horse into the mansion, that is the cost that Lao Tzu gave to Brother Tong below, be careful." ”

"Yes, Master Guang!"

The men did not dare to slack off, and in response, they carefully lifted their things from their horses.

"Who is my Dao who is so generous, it turns out to be you Li Guang!"

Just as Li Guang was about to enter the palace, a voice full of sarcasm came from behind, but it sounded a little shrill and thin.

"Dead eunuch, I knew it was you!"

Hearing the voice, Li Guang turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man with a thin body, less than six feet tall, and a white beard, leading a dozen or so men down to the gate of the palace.

"Brother Jiang!"

Pang Hao also recognized people, and after seeing the old white face, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I didn't expect even Brother Jiang to come, there is a loss of welcome, it is really a loss of welcome, and please Brother Jiang Don't blame him!" ”

"Where does the huge man say, the elder brother has passed away, and the huge man and Mrs. Pang should not be too sad."

Lao Bai's face was full of sadness, "When Brother Tong was alive, we also drank and talked together. I never thought that it had only been a few months, and it was already yin and yang, hey, the world is impermanent! ”

"You dead eunuch is really hypocritical, obviously just nodding and friendship with Brother Tong, and still crying here with fake compassion, if I were you, I would have been ashamed to wipe my neck with a knife!"

Li Guang couldn't see the sadness shown by the old white face at this moment, so he directly sneered, and his words and sentences were unceremoniously.

"Li Guang, there is a deep grudge between you and me, but today is the day of my brother's funeral, can you stop it in moderation?"

Lao Baimian glanced at Li Guang, and said to Pang Hao slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry! ”

"Jiang Sixuan, you dead eunuch still have the face to say? Didn't you provoke today's events? ”

Li Guang was already a burst of temper, and after hearing Jiang Sixuan's words, he burst into a rage: "Do you want to go to war?" ”

Jiang Sixuan, another big man, the second-ranked bandit in Jiaozhi City, in the early years, because of the competition for territory and some personal grievances, Jiang Sixuan and Li Guang formed a mortal enemy, unless one of the two died, otherwise, there is no way to resolve it!

"Brother Li, Brother Jiang......"

Pang Hao's head became big all of a sudden, and when he was originally posting to the two of them, he thought it would be good to have one, but who would have thought that the two rivals would all come, and they would fight each other, isn't this going to kill people?

But don't do it at this gate!

"Li Guang, with your current strength, you can't match me, I advise you to use your brains before doing things!"

Jiang Sixuan snorted coldly, signaled to Pang Hao again, and entered the palace with his subordinates.

"This dead eunuch is still so arrogant!"

Seeing Jiang Sixuan's appearance, Li Guang shook his head a little boringly, and said, "Huge man, I'll go first to put incense on Brother Tong, so as not to be ridiculed by this dead eunuch again!" ”

"Hehe, Brother Li, please come in!"

What else could Pang Hao say, he could only nod slightly and order someone to lead the way.

"Whew!"

Seeing that Li Guang also entered the mansion, Pang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, these two people are really troublesome!

"Master, if you invite these two masters, aren't you afraid that Lord Zhizhou will know about them and arrest them?"

Regarding the appearance of these two, as Pang Hao's housekeeper, Pang Wen also sweated in his heart.

Different from their master Pang Hao and Luo Dong, the prefect of Jiaozhi, Zhang Zhanpeng has always held the opinion of exterminating the evil bandits in Jiaozhi, when he first became the governor, Zhang Zhanpeng had wiped out the mountain bandits in Jiaozhi, which can be said to be a shock to the government and the opposition at that time, and even Hong Wuye had given him the name of "Yongwu Zhizhou".

It was only later that Zhang Zhanpeng became low-key without knowing what happened, which led to the resurgence of the bandits in Jiaozhi, but because of Zhang Zhanpeng's existence, unless there was something big about these bandits, they would not dare to come to Jiaozhi City at will.

"Pang Wen, you don't have to worry about this matter, when you posted to these people, the official had already sent the prefect to him, and with the instructions of the prefect, presumably even if Zhang Lao wanted to do something to them first, he would have to weigh it carefully."

Pang Hao, who was dissatisfied with Zhang Zhanpeng, sneered because of the matter of dealing with Zhu Song, and continued: "Don't forget, this Jiaozhi City is not Zhang Zhanpeng's, he is still just a Zhizhou!" ”

"That's right."

Pang Wen laughed a little embarrassedly, but this smile seemed to have something meaningful.

"Okay, don't be stunned, the worshippers are coming one after another, arrange for the singers to be invited, and let them make a fuss!"

Pang Hao looked at the sun gradually rising overhead, but arranged the memorial service.

…… By the time it was three o'clock, there were more than 200 people who came to worship one after another, including all kinds of powerful and evil bandits in Jiaozhi, a number of civil and military officials in Jiaozhi, and even people in Guangxi who came to worship with money.

Judging from the official positions and status of these people, Pang Hao's face is really wide!

"Hey, I heard that Young Master Tong unfortunately passed away, and today I am here to put a stick of incense on Young Master Tong!"

Just when the worship was almost over and Pang Hao began to arrange for the people to prepare lunch, Zhu Song led Zhu Youyi and them over.

"Who are you? If you don't have an invitation, I won't let you into the house to worship. ”

At the door, the housekeeper Pang Wen had seen Zhu Song, and Pang Hao arranged for someone from the county government to deal with Zhu Song, which was also Pang Wen's errand.

"Hey, I said, why do you talk like that?"

Zhu is nothing, Zhu Youjiao didn't do it, "You have someone passed away, in order to show respect for the deceased, but whenever someone comes to worship, they should sweep the couch to welcome them, why are you bombarding people outside?" ”

Pang Wen was determined not to let them in: "This little boy, I'm really embarrassed, I won't let you in without the invitation card handed over by our master." ”
