He turned around and beckoned to Huzi, "Let's go, let's go to your second uncle's house to have a look." Your father was buried today, but he didn't see a funeral procession out of the city just now, so he walked through another city gate. Let's go to the house first, and if you go from somewhere else, I'll take you on a fast horse. ”

Huzi followed him and quickened his pace, but he also said as he walked: "I shouldn't go to other city gates, after all, the city gate we walked through just now is the closest one to the second uncle's house." He had to hire a carriage to pull the coffin, and if he went far, he would spend more silver, and he was reluctant to do it. I've heard that funeral processions usually leave early, and last year my neighbor's mother-in-law died, and my family sent her out of the city before dawn. It's just that my second uncle and aunt shouldn't be so early, and yesterday I heard them say that they can sleep as long as they want, and it's not a big deal, so there's no need to get up early in the morning. ”

Quan Qinghua didn't say anything, only pulled him to speed up his steps.

When the two of them finally stood in front of the house, they saw several men struggling to carry a coffin from the inside, and as they went, they said, "If the road is far away, you still have to hire a carriage!" We can help carry the coffin out of the city, but we can't go any further. Although the coffin is very thin, as the saying goes, death sinks and sinks, which is the weight of the dead. When people die, they are heavier than when they were alive, and it's too tiring for us to carry them all the way. ”

The second aunt who followed behind didn't like to listen to it, "The carriage is the price of the carriage, and manpower is the price of manpower. The place where the burial is buried is less than five miles out of the city, and if you can carry it, I will add half a tael of silver, and if you can't carry it, put the coffin down now, and I will hire someone else. Some of the people who can't eat in the north are eager to beg for such a job, and the price is much cheaper than yours. ”

The second uncle also said: "That is, the left and right hours are also late, so it is not too late." ”

The bearers of the coffin looked at each other, and no one mentioned anything more about not carrying it, but only said that they would pay the half tael of silver when they went out of the city.

The second aunt scolded a few more words, followed out reluctantly, and said to the second uncle as she walked: "It's just a matter of burying your father and mother, and now I want to bury your brother again, why am I so unlucky to marry into your family?" ”

The second uncle hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, isn't there no way?" You said that the government found me, and I said that if I don't bring the body back, it won't be reasonable, after all, it's my own brother. Okay, okay, for the sake of their little yard, bury this! Go back and sell that yard, and then sell our one too, and add the silver to one place to change to a larger place to live. When the time comes, I will buy you a maid and come back to wait for you, so that you can also live the life of a lady in the inner city. ”

The second aunt snorted coldly and glanced at him fiercely, "Don't think I don't know what you think, did the maid buy it for me?" I'm afraid it's not the concubine you bought back for yourself! ”

"How can you, don't think about it too much, if you really think so, we won't buy a maid, buy a mother-in-law." Mother-in-law is always okay, right? ”

The second aunt rolled her eyes again, but she didn't say that her mother-in-law wouldn't let her be invited, but she just chattered again: "Huzi's dead cub doesn't know where he went, and he didn't come back overnight, and his father didn't say that he would come back to carry the coffin when he went to the funeral today, and if he came back, I would be able to save money." ”

The second uncle said again: "It's useless for him to come back, he's short, and he can't carry it with others." But that little cub will be a problem in the future, and we can't keep him. The half-grown boy eats a lot, and it costs a lot of food. ”

The second aunt was so angry that she screwed him hard, "You still want to raise him?" Phew! Dream on! I'll tell you, when I come back in a while, I'll contact a personal servant, sell him to me quickly, and then use the money from selling him to buy a mother-in-law back. ”

The second uncle smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's decided, I'll go look for him when I go back, and I will sell it directly." ”

The two were talking, and as soon as they looked up, they saw Huzi standing at the door of their house. The second aunt subconsciously wanted to scold, but when she turned her head, she saw the painting of Quan Qing standing with Huzi.

She was stunned, and she didn't say anything about the scolding, just because the appearance of this Quan Qinghua and this white dress made her ashamed, and she even felt that she would be a little embarrassed to speak a little louder.

She didn't know who this person was, Huzi was quietly taken away by Quan Qinghua yesterday, and it didn't alarm the people in the family. By the time she found out that Huzi was gone, it was already too late. She didn't care about Huzi, and even felt that people were not at home, so she saved a bowl of dinner, which was also good, and she didn't have to bother to find it. Anyway, he was buried the next day, and Huzi always had to come back.

But when she saw Huzi again at this time, she didn't feel much, she felt that this child had only been seen for one night, and it was completely different from before. I can't say what is different, I just feel that the whole person feels very strange, there is no sadness or joy in my eyes, and even when I see the thin coffin, there is not much emotional fluctuation.

The second aunt looked back at the man behind her in confusion, and the second uncle stepped forward and reprimanded Huzi: "Bastard, where have you been?" Today, your father is buried, don't you say that you stay at home to support the coffin, and you don't see anyone all night, do you still have a conscience? ”

Syllable! A slap fell on Huzi's face, Huzi was beaten by him and fell to the ground, and the second uncle actually raised his foot and kicked people again.

Quan Qinghua raised his arm, the folding fan in his hand stopped on the second uncle's leg, knocked lightly, and didn't see how hard he did, the second uncle actually screamed strangely, and the person fell to the ground with a plop, holding one of his legs and rolling around.

The second aunt also screamed and pounced, wanting to check the injured leg, but as soon as she touched the second uncle, she cried out in pain.

The person carrying the coffin saw that he couldn't walk for a while, so he put the coffin down, and one of them looked at the second uncle for a while and said, "This shouldn't be a broken leg, right?" If it's just a skin injury that doesn't hurt like this, call a Lang Zhong to take a look! ”

Some people also looked at the painting of Quan Qing, and they were puzzled but also kept a little more mind. After all, there is such a kung fu that can break people's legs at the slightest touch, and the courage to hurt people and break bones on the street, it is definitely not an ordinary person. They just carry the coffin and get the money, and they can't meddle in their affairs.

When the second aunt heard that it might be a broken leg, she was anxious at that time, and turned her head to shout at Quan Qinghua: "Why are you beating someone?" Look at Huzi again, and be even more angry, "Okay, little cub, have found a backer, and come back to take revenge?" What exactly are you retaliating against? Your mother was killed by your father for doing that kind of shameless thing, and your father realized that he had committed murder and was paid for his life, so he wiped his neck, what does this matter to us? We split up when your grandfather is still alive, and we haven't had much contact over the years, but now we want to mourn for you, I haven't complained yet, but you came first? Dare to ask someone to break your second uncle's leg, do you have a conscience? ”

Huzi had been staring at his father's thin coffin, his eyes flushed. Faced with the second aunt's questioning, the child's stubbornness also came up, and he replied at that time: "You have no conscience first!" You want to take my house, and you want to sell me, and you can get so much silver, but you won't even buy a decent coffin for my father, why? Wow-"

The child, who had always been strong, finally couldn't hold back anymore and cried with a wow.

He's six years old this year, but because he's skinny, he looks like he's four or five years old.

He has always been very sensible, he doesn't let his father and mother worry about it, and he will help with everything at home. He thought that as long as he was obedient, the family could live well, but he didn't expect to end up like this.

The more the child thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he cried louder and louder, which gradually attracted many onlookers.

As soon as the second aunt saw that there were more people who came to see it, she immediately took the initiative and pointed to Quan Qinghua and began to complain-

"You see this man no! If you look like a human, you will hurt someone's life if you shoot! My man said a few words to his nephew, and this man actually broke my man's leg. Why is he? Who is he? Why do you care about our house? Besides, my man is not wrong when he says that his nephew is dead, his father is dead, he is not at home to mourn, he runs out all night, and he only comes back at this hour, and the funeral is not in time for a good time, shouldn't such a child be slapped and kicked? Who doesn't educate their children like this? Why did he hurt people? Is there any Heavenly Principle King Law in this world? I'm going to sue the officer! I must sue the official! ”

The people didn't understand what was going on, but the two officials who had already come to the front understood what was going on at once. At that time, he rebuked the woman: "Shut up! Your Highness the Dust King, how can a woman like you be free to abuse? That alone you are a mortal sin! Don't hurry up and admit your mistake to Your Highness! ”

The second aunt is scared, the dust king? Your Highness? What do you mean?

She was stunned, but her man reacted, and immediately dragged an injured leg down and kowtowed to Quan Qinghua, and at the same time reminded his daughter-in-law: "What are you doing in a daze?" His Royal Highness is a member of the royal family, don't say that he broke one of my legs, even if he beat me to death, I have nowhere to reason. Kowtow quickly, kowtow to His Highness! ”

The second aunt also reacted, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. This head was really knocked, and after a while, his forehead was bleeding. She felt pain and didn't dare to knock again, but she was afraid that the prince would kill her, so she simply knelt on the ground and cried.

The official messenger came to Quan Qinghua, saluted, and then asked, "Your Highness, what should I do about this matter?" ”

Quan Qinghua glanced at them, "How to do it is Chi Hongfang's business, you don't have to ask this king?" But since you have asked, the king will tell you the key to this. He pointed to the second uncle and aunt, "These two are the younger brother and sister-in-law of the deceased, and it is understandable that the younger brother buried the elder brother, but since the family has been separated, it is natural to want to ask for compensation."

The deceased had only a small child, and could not afford to pay the payment, so they intended to occupy the house, and the king felt that it should. But—"

As soon as he changed his words, the person became fierce......
