Chapter 368: Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots

Everyone says that drinking is a mistake.

He also said that he was prone to headaches after a hangover. It's like Xue'er at this moment, she only feels a splitting headache, grogginess, and her head hurts so much that she can't even know where she is!

She remembered that she was poured a lot of wine at the wedding banquet of Murong Yuan's wedding, and she didn't even have time to excuse and think.

Xue'er doesn't understand, how did she become the target of public criticism? Those people didn't even care about Murong Yuan, the groom official, and they all ran to her to toast!

It's just that she is not good at dealing with such occasions, she comes and goes, and she doesn't even know how much she has drunk!

At this moment, the surroundings are dark, almost out of reach, and the air is a little muddy, humid and stuffy, which is easily reminiscent of a coffin. If it weren't for the cool air coming from the side of the face, it would almost suffocate inside.

It should be that he was afraid that she would suffocate inside, so he deliberately left a vent near her head or something.

She furrowed her brows slightly, trying to sit up, but found that she didn't have any strength in her body, and she couldn't even lift her arms. There is no soft bed underneath him, let alone a quilt, and the kimono is lying there.

Then she found out that the problem was that her mouth was strangled!

Cher was taken aback, but she couldn't open her mouth except for a few babbling sounds.

At this moment, even a fool knows that he has been calculated! However, she didn't know how long she had been hungover, how she got to this place, and she didn't even know where she was at the moment!

She still remembered that when Shan Tianying left with Shan Yu, Li Zheng once said to her that a certain person or a certain force had been trying to deal with her behind her back. It's just that she never thought that the other party would pick such a heavily guarded day as Murong Yuan's wedding.

However, having said that, although this day was heavily guarded, the most mysterious and unpredictable catastrophe was not by her side, relatively speaking, it was the easiest time to get it.

Thinking about it like this, she felt a little relieved. However, at this moment, she was weak and couldn't scream, and there seemed to be no way but to wait quietly.

In fact, Cher was indeed in a coffin at the moment, of course, only after she was carried out of the coffin not long after.

"Knock knock" The sound of someone tapping the wood with his finger came, and then someone asked: "How can there be a coffin here, and who is inside?" ”

Then there was a faint flattering voice, which came through the heavy wooden board: "Official, official, I hope that my subordinates will be merciful, inside the coffin is Jia Ci, who just passed away two days ago, and I wanted to go back to my hometown for burial, but before I had time to set off, I felt the wedding of His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun." Birth, old age, sickness and death are not up to anyone, and the villain has no choice but to hide the coffin first, which is really a last resort! ”

Immediately followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and then listening to the voice continued: "The fallen leaves return to the roots, and Jiaci's wish has always been to return to his hometown and be buried with Jiayan. If it weren't for the big day of His Royal Highness, the villain would not have hidden the coffin at home without permission, so that the mother could not be buried in the earth for peace......"

Speaking of which, the voice turned out to be a little sad, and it seemed that the owner of the voice wiped his tears: "The villain is willing to scatter all his family wealth, and he only asks the official to be accommodating, even if he goes out of the city to be cremated first, and transports the ashes back to ......his hometown."

"What you said is easy, how can you transport such a big coffin out of the city?" Presumably this voice is the "official" that the person asked for before, and there was a hint of impatience in his arrogance, "It was seen by those people guarding the city, isn't it the same?" It's all for His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun to stick a mallet in the eyes, and there is no good fruit for you to eat! ”

"This, this ......" said that the man who had said that his mother was lying in the coffin seemed very embarrassed, and then there was a mourning, almost crying, but he seemed to be afraid of something, and did not dare to speak loudly.

But Xue'er in the coffin finally understood: although she didn't know who it was, she was taken captive and put in such a big coffin. I don't know if the people from the Murong clan sent someone to search or what the reason is, anyway, the official messenger came here and found this coffin.

And because it is the day of Murong Yuan's wedding, of course, it may also be a few days after Murong Yuan's wedding, so it is obviously inappropriate to go to the funeral, and it is logical to hide the coffin.

However, these people dared to openly bribe officials and wanted to get out of the city, and they were not small.

"All the villain's wealth is here, including the title deed of the property in Liancheng, two ready-to-wear shops, and a jewelry shop." The man said, "After leaving the city this time, the body of Jiaci will be cremated and returned to his hometown, and the villain will not return to Liancheng......"

Although Xue'er can't see how much this person's "whole family wealth" is, she thinks that there should be a lot of them, not to mention that there are real estate title deeds and ready-to-wear shops, which should be enough to impress the official in front of her.

However, it also shows from the side that the real masters behind these people have really put a lot of effort into catching themselves.

Xue'er could almost hear the sound of the official's saliva falling to the ground, with a hint of fake sympathy in it: "Falling leaves return to the roots, it is also human nature." Who made this official soft-hearted, well, I won't be embarrassed by you for the time being. But...... Then again, where are you from? ”

"Back to the official master, the villain's ancestral home is Baozhi City, Nanyuan County." This time, the man replied very quickly, "Because of the long distance, I have to be cremated first......

"Baozhi City, Nanyuan County?" I heard the official mutter, "Thousands of miles southwest of Liancheng, it is indeed far enough!" But if you are filial piety, I will help you once, so ......"

The voice gradually lowered, and as for what the two of them said later, Xue'er didn't know at all. It wasn't long before there was a slight jolt from underneath him, and then he felt like the coffin he was in was completely lifted, and after a shaking, he was lowered again.

At this moment, Xue'er can't move, can't speak, and can only guess the actions of these people by relying on the conversations of outsiders and her own induction. As for getting out, she had to wait until she could move freely, or leave the depressing coffin.

There was the sound of wheels, and the sound of chaotic footsteps, and occasionally the official whispering something. Because she deliberately lowered her voice, Xue'er could only hear the chirping sound, but she couldn't hear the specific content at all.

The winter dusk is very short, and the gates of Liancheng are closed early. It's just that since the wedding day of the emperor and grandson of a country, after the disappearance of the most noble Amaterasu in the Western Desert, the entire Liancheng has been under martial law for three days, only allowed to enter, not to go out, today is the first day to return to normal, so there are a lot of people out of the city, and it also makes the officers and soldiers guarding the city at the gate of each city extremely tired, and the people who check out the city have also been cautious from the beginning to the current perfunctory.

Finally, after checking the last one, these people were eager to close the city gate quickly, and relax themselves after handing over the post, only to see two horses in the distance, followed by three carriages, slowly coming in the direction of the city gate.

Wang Lin, the little leader of the city guards, looked impatient, looked at the sky, and then looked at the slowly approaching carriage, frowned, and ordered to his soldiers: "The hour has come, prepare to close the city gate!" ”

The five or six soldiers below answered, turned and walked in the direction of the city gate, and just as they touched the edge of the city gate, they heard the man on the horse in front shouting: "Brother Wang, slow down! ”

As he spoke, the horse suddenly increased its speed, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to the front, and the person on the horse jumped off the horse with a neat turn, landed on the ground inquiringly, and walked two steps to Wang Lin: "Brother Wang, it's me!" ”

Wang Lin frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with the person who ran out to stop him from closing the city gate, but after seeing the person who came, his face finally eased a little, but it was not very good-looking, he snorted haha, and said: "It turned out to be Zhao Zhutou, is it that he has a business trip and needs to go out of the city now?" But with official documents on his body, the younger brother will definitely not dare to slack off......"

He rambled for a long time, which is nothing more than one meaning: It's time to close the city gate, get out of here if you have nothing to do, don't delay Lao Tzu's rest!

The head catcher surnamed Zhao was not annoyed, he was still smiling, and waved to the team behind, the man on the horse was fine, and hurriedly urged the horse to run two steps. However, he didn't dare to dismount like Zhao Zhutou until he was close, and he was far away from the two of them and stopped the horse after a dozen steps, and then ran over upside down, and at the same time waved to the carriage behind, signaling the other party to speed up.

Three carriages, the first two are seated, the last one is a lot of boxes large and small, I don't know whether the rope is not strong enough, or the speed of the carriage is too fast, or the wheel just ran over a small stone on the ground, the body jumped, a crooked, although it can be stopped, but it directly drops a half-human high mahogany box.

The lock on the box was not very strong, and the fall came out, and then the lid of the box cracked, and after a while, the contents were suddenly revealed.

The silver ingots of white flowers, pearl strings, agate Ruyi, plus twenty or thirty yellow and clear gold ingots, suddenly shine brightly, and people can't take their eyes off!

Wang Lin, who was guarding the city, was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened, and for a while he only stared at the gold, silver and jewelry scattered all over the ground, and he didn't even want to make a mistake with his eyes!

Zhao Zhutou had already walked closer, and when he saw the other party's greedy expression, he was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but he just attached it to the other party's ear and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang, junior brother, this is to send you silver!"

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang?"

Seeing that Wang Lin should not, Zhao Zhutou had to raise his voice and scream twice, Wang Lin just woke up from a big dream, wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuffs, and then said, "What did you say?" ”

Zhao Zhutou looked at the person who got off the horse tremblingly, signaled the other party to come closer, and then lowered his voice to Wang Lin again: "Brother Wang, I said, junior brother will send you silver." ”

Then he began to introduce the person: "This person's name is Zhao Jin, and his younger brother is also regarded as having the same clan and surname, he is innocent, he has run some industries in the capital, and he has a small amount of savings, but because Gao Tang passed away, he was in time for the wedding of His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun, and he didn't dare to delay in the capital, for fear of a lawsuit, so he wanted to scatter his family wealth and help the spirit return to his hometown......"

Wang Lin glanced at Zhao Jin, the other party was short and fat, like a winter melon, in his forties, with the unique philistine and cunning of a small businessman in his eyes, seeing that he was looking, he hurriedly laughed and nodded: "I also hope that the official will be accommodating, the villain would rather scatter all his family wealth, but also fulfill the wish of the whole family to return to his hometown......
