Chapter XXVII
Ren Taigong also had this intention, and when he was about to open his mouth to entrust, Fu Bowen had already said: "Taigong, now my master and apprentice have important things to do, and it is really inconvenient to take these three people, if Taigong is really not at ease, then execute those three people now." ”
Ren Taigong knew that Fu Bowen said nothing, he said no, then no, the soft and hard set was useless to him, after thinking about it, he said: "Since this is the case, then ask Huaigong to give the three of them a puzzle...... Wonder what's going on? ”
"Psychic charms." Zhang Tianduo couldn't help but remind.
"Yes, yes, yes." Ren Taigong nodded again and again, and just as he wanted to speak, someone ran in in a panic and said, "Taigong, it's not good, the Lin family, the Wang family, and the Deng family want to kill those three prisoners, and everyone can't stop them." ”
"Nonsense, nonsense. Who allowed them to do that? Ren Taigong was so angry that he stomped his feet, although the three people were extremely evil and it was not a pity to die, but it was also illegal for the people to execute the prisoners privately, and if this was investigated by the government, it would be impossible to say.
Fu Bowen looked indifferent, and he said to the person who came to report: "Take us to see." ”
"Yes, yes."
The group hurried to the scene, only to see more than a dozen villagers with kitchen knives and hoes gathered outside the house of Wu's Sanjie, shouting loudly for the people in the inner room to open the door.
"Taigong is here." Someone shouted.
The villagers immediately quieted down and looked back at Ren Taigong and his party.
Although Taigong Ren was old, his temper was still quite short-tempered, and when he arrived in front of the families of the Wang family, the Lin family and the Deng family, he beat the crutches in his hand again and again, and said angrily: "What do you want to do?" What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? ”
"Taigong, as the saying goes, pay off debts, kill people to pay for their lives, our daughter was killed by them, and they must pay for their lives." The head of the Wang family shouted.
"It's not your turn to kill them, and now you kill them, what's the difference between that? cough ......" Speaking of excitement, Ren Taigong couldn't help but gasp and cough.
Although they did not refute Ren Taigong's words, the three relatives were still not convinced, and still gathered outside the door and refused to leave.
Ren Taigong's persuasion was indifferent again and again, and the angry old man almost didn't turn his back on it.
At this time, Fu Bowen suddenly said: "Since you want to take revenge, okay, then as you wish, the people inside open the door." ”
The people in the house had already heard that Ren Taigong and Fu Bowen were coming, and when they heard Fu Bowen's words, they hesitated for a moment and opened the door to let them in.
The three family members immediately rushed in, and there was a shouting and scolding from inside, Ren Taigong stomped his feet in a hurry, he trembled and pointed to the back room and asked Fu Bowen: "Huaigong, you ...... How do you make them so nonsense? ”
Fu Bowen smiled: "Taigong, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
Sure enough, the shouting and scolding in the back room quickly quieted down, and after a while, the three relatives came out of the back room one after another, almost all of them with sad and helpless looks on their faces.
Fu Bowen glanced at them and said: "Killing people is not a simple matter, these three people are extremely evil, and sooner or later they will get the retribution they deserve, why should everyone dirty their hands." ”
The head of the Wang family glanced up at Fu Bowen, and suddenly cried: "We don't really want to kill them, we just want them to return our daughter's heart, so that our daughter can have a whole corpse, but they ...... They ......"
Fu Bowen helped the head of the Wang family up and said, "It was not they who took your daughter's heart, they were just being used. ”
"Huh?! That...... Can you get it back? ”
Fu Bowen shook his head, a rare look of helplessness on his face, and he said, "Even if you find the real mastermind behind the scenes, it's too late." ”
"Ah, that'...... Then my daughter is not dead! Hearing such bad news, the three relatives immediately began to cry.
Fu Bowen was also helpless, but he was annoyed by the cries of the deceased's family, and he couldn't help but say, "Shut up for me!" ”
This break exploded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and almost the entire Wangfeng Pavilion could hear him break his drink.
After seeing that the relatives of the deceased had all quietly looked at him, he said: "If your daughters are buried, they will turn into unjust ghosts and ghosts, and it will be difficult to be reincarnated, and besides, their bodies were insulted before they died, what is the use of such a whole corpse?" ”
I don't know if the three families were frightened by Fu Bowen's interruption or felt that Fu Bowen's words were reasonable, and it took a while for the head of the Wang family to ask: "That...... According to the third uncle's view, how should our daughter be buried? ”
Fu Bowen pretended to pinch his fingers and said: "It is best to cremate, remove the flesh and blood, and leave the ashes, so that there will be no distinction between the whole corpse and the incomplete corpse, and the three of you had better send the ashes to a nearby temple for worship, one can dissolve their grievances, so that they can be reincarnated as a new person as soon as possible, and the other can also bring blessings to you." ”
"Cremation...... The three families were very embarrassed by this ......, and generally speaking, cremating was carried out by some executed prisoners or those who had died in a foreign land, and very few people who died in their hometowns used cremation.
(After the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Qing Taizong and Huang Taiji still followed the Manchu cremation customs, but since the Kangxi Dynasty, the emperors did not cremate, but used earth burial, and included it in the national law, so that the fact of the cremation of the previous imperial family in the official history books after this was taboo.) Since then, from the Manchus to the Han people, from the royal family to the common people, all practice burial, this influence still exists until the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is precisely because of this that there is room for the existence of the corpse, if cremation is prevalent, the families of those who died in other places only need to return to their homeland with ashes after cremation, then there is no matter of chasing out the corpse. )
When Fu Bowen saw the embarrassed faces of the three families, his face immediately sank, and he said: "If you are not satisfied, you can bury you, and if something goes wrong at that time, the old man will not be blamed for not reminding you." ”
"Third uncle, don't be angry, we will all listen to you." The head of the Wang family woke up first and hurriedly said.
"yes, yes." The Lin family and the Deng family hurriedly echoed, and like the Wang family, they were forced to follow Fu Bowen's wishes.
Zhang Tianduo on the side was silent on his face, but he was secretly scolding in his heart: "What to dissolve the flesh and blood, leave the ashes, what to remove the grievances and bring blessings, it's just nonsense, and pretending to pinch his fingers and calculate, this dead old man, his lying kung fu is absolutely extraordinary." ”
There is a saying that if the previous life is not complete, the next life will lack this less, this concept is especially prevalent among the eunuchs, and because of this, the eunuchs will properly preserve the root of life after purification, and this root of life will inevitably follow them into the earth after a hundred years of old age, in order to become perfect in the next life.
But these are just nonsense, the secret book contains, people die in the ground for burial, there is no taboo of whether the whole corpse is or not, and there is no cremation is equivalent to the whole corpse, Fu Bowen is so nonsense, presumably he is too lazy to entangle with these family members.
The funeral of cremation is different from burial, the three relatives wanted to ask Fu Bowen what to do, but they were frightened by his vicious eyes and did not dare to speak, and in the end they had no choice, so they had to find the old people in the village to discuss the details of the funeral of cremation.
After sending off the three relatives, Fu Bowen asked someone to bring a dagger, and no matter what others thought, he went in alone to break the hands and tendons of the Wu family's three jie, and gave each person a charm charm, poor Wu Sanjie was also demented to death, and for them who were sloppy and sinful, this kind of death was also a kind of luck.
After solving the trivial problems, the group returned to Ren Taigong's residence, and Ren Taigong set up a banquet to invite the master and apprentice, but was rejected by Fu Bowen.
"Taigong, Huai Gong is really entangled in important matters, so this celebration banquet should be left for my master and apprentice after they finish their work."
Seeing that Fu Bowen was really anxious, and it was not easy for Taigong Ren to keep it, he ordered someone to bring a bag of silver dollars and a bag of dry food requested by Fu Bowen, and said: "Huaigong, thank you for solving a major scourge for the village and arresting the murderer, this is a little bit of our village's heart, and please accept it." ”
Fu Bowen took it and weighed it, then took the dry food, and then nodded and said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, take the money to do things, this is what I should do." ”
As he spoke, he turned back to Zhang Tianduo and said, "Tianduo, let's go." ”
Zhang Tianduo's eyes are still inseparable from the sumptuous dishes on the table, he really can't understand, he has been busy for a day and a night, and he has almost nothing to eat, why is Fu Bowen in a hurry to leave?
"Heaven snatch!"
"Oh, good, good." Hearing Fu Bowen shouting again, Zhang Tianduo hurriedly responded.
Fu Bowen handed the dry food to Zhang Tianduo and said to Ren Taigong: "Taigong stays, there will be a period later." ”
