At that time, Pan Daoming's family listened, they were very anxious, and hurriedly asked Mr. Feng Shui how to crack it, Mr. Feng Shui thought for a while and said, the lack of gold here, the best way to solve it is to make up for it with things, the Pan family hurriedly asked what is to make up for it with things, and the Feng Shui master told the Pan family that the so-called making up for the lack of things is what is missing in the feng shui land to make up for it, for example, if a certain piece of land lacks wood in the five elements, it is best to build a forest around the cemetery to make up for it, this place is the lack of gold in the five elements, Therefore, it is best to be able to bury some gold and silver property at the time of burial, and the Pan family suddenly realized when they heard it. Isn't it just to bury some gold and silver, the last thing the Pan family lacks is money.

But then the question comes, how much gold should be buried with a concubine when she dies, this matter should have been decided by General Pan himself, but now General Pan is not there, and the burial matter is fully handed over to Qiu Zong, so how much gold to put in this tomb is still up to Qiu Zong, Qiu Zong thought for a while, and reported a number, 999 gold bars. Everyone was taken aback after hearing this, although the Pan family is not short of money, but these 999 gold bars are converted into thousands of gold, so everyone is embarrassed after hearing it, no one seems to respond to Qiu Zong's proposal, Qiu Zong also saw the thoughts of the aunts at this time, so he opened his mouth and said, aunts don't have to doubt, I know that everyone may think that this number is a bit much, but the reason why I chose this number is for a reason, first, 999 gold bars mean that our Pan family is 99 years old, and the lord is now fighting outside, Isn't that what you're looking for? Second, our Pan family is also the number one gateway in the Northeast, so in this matter must be like the scenery, can not be lost to General Pan, third, these 999 gold bars are a lot, but everyone think about it, although this gold bar is buried in the tomb, but it is still our Pan family after all, and it has not flowed into the hands of outsiders, fourth, to say a bad word, life is in the world, good and bad, everyone has the day of death, today we will bury others in the scenery, Tomorrow, we will kick our legs and leave the world, and someone will bury us in the world.

When Qiu Zong said this, everyone felt that it was somewhat reasonable, so no one objected, but someone proposed that the 999 gold bars were not a small amount, and they would have to send someone to guard the tomb at that time, so as not to let people dig it out, Qiu Zong patted his chest again and again when he heard this, and promised, this matter is on me.

So, on the day of the funeral, Qiu Zong put all the 999 yellow gold bars into the coffin in front of everyone in the Pan family, and on the day of the funeral, Qiu Zong invited more than 100 strong barmen from nine bars to take turns to carry the coffin to the cemetery, which shocked the people who came to see the excitement in Shengjing and widened their eyes, and gave a thumbs up to praise the scenery of the funeral of the Pan family, which can be said to be enough face for the Pan family. After the burial, Qiu Zong specially selected five or six people from the hundreds of people in the family to guard the tomb, among them there was a person named Li Zhongxian, who fled from the brick kiln in Shanxi to the northeast with me at that time, one year older than me, 21 years old that year, born three or five thick and strong, and very brave.

One day, when it was Li Zhongxian's turn to rest, he asked me and two other companions who came from the brick kiln in Shanxi to sit down in the Pan family to drink, and drank a little too much during the banquet, Li Zhongxian sighed that he was really useless, and it was just a matter of being a subordinate to the Pan family, a good seven-foot man, his own father and mother had never guarded the spirit before he died, but now he was a grave keeper for a concubine of the general, and he was unwilling. In particular, he couldn't get used to Qiu Zong's dog and human face, he was submissive in front of General Pan, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and as soon as he went out, he would fight against people, do evil, treat his subordinates as inappropriate, beat him if he wanted to, and scold him if he wanted to.

This sentence aroused the same feelings of several people, and everyone was dissatisfied with Qiu Zong, and at this time, someone proposed, since everyone didn't want to do it here, why not do something earth-shattering?

Everyone hurriedly asked, what is an earth-shattering event.

The man said, "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, do you know?! ”

Everyone shook their heads, because no one had studied much.

This person said directly, "I heard that there is a White Lotus Sect in the Huguang area, which wants to overthrow the Qing government, and it is very popular, and many oppressed poor people have already joined, or we will also follow the gourd and draw a scoop, expose the uprising in the Northeast, and set up a sect, there are so many poor people in the Northeast, as long as we move, there will definitely be many poor people to participate, and then we will have the capital to turn over, and no longer be the next person to the dog, the day, and the Qiu Zong!" ”

When a few people heard this, they immediately rushed to their heads, and felt that instead of living like this, it was better to uncover the uprising and do an earth-shattering event.

However, at this time, some people frowned and said, the uprising is a big deal, and several of us are poor, and we have money to recruit troops from there.

Everyone was worried when they heard this question, and at this time, Li Zhongxian slapped the table and said, I have a way.

Everyone hurriedly asked what to do.

Li Zhongxian whispered to everyone that there were 999 gold bars in the tomb of General Pan's concubine, so why not take advantage of his convenience in guarding the tomb to quietly dig up the ill-gotten gains in the tomb, and then recruit troops to uncover the uprising. The idea was immediately echoed. So, the four of us agreed that Li Zhongxian and a man named Qi San would stay here and wait for an opportunity to steal the tomb's property, and that a man surnamed Zhang and I would first contact the people and horses in other places, and then when the money and men were ready, we could launch an uprising.

The next day, another person and I went to the field to contact Ma.

However, what we didn't expect was that things were not as simple as we thought, on the morning of the third day after we left, suddenly a tomb keeper ran into Pan's house in a panic, and told Qiu Zong that the tomb of the general's concubine was stolen, Qiu Zong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly came to the cemetery to see, the tomb was really stolen, and the property in the tomb was looted. As soon as he woke up, he found that the tomb had been stolen, and as soon as Qiu Zong heard this, he couldn't help but draw a knife and kill Li Zhongxian, Qi San and two other tomb guards on the spot.
