Chapter 539: Funeral

The eldest lady lived in a remote and quiet courtyard, and the rooms in the courtyard were rich in gold and silver treasures, and the decoration was also very luxurious.

The room was a mess, and it was obvious that someone had turned it over.

Seeing this messy room, the senior sister turned her head to look at me and said, "I just said that the death of the eldest lady is not so simple. The person who killed the eldest lady should have wanted something. ”

Then I checked the room with my sister, and the strange thing was that there was nothing missing in the room, and although the gold and silver treasures were scattered all over the place, they were not taken away by others. In other words, the person who killed the eldest lady should not be robbing money.

"Golden hairpin, that person must have come for the golden hairpin, the heirloom of the Le family." I suddenly remembered the golden hairpin that might hide the secret of the rise and fall of the Lejia, and the golden hairpin was in the hands of the eldest lady.

"Well, I don't know if the other party got the golden hairpin, I think the person who killed the eldest lady and snatched the golden hairpin should be the same person who poured the blood of the emperor into the lotus pond twice." Senior Sister said.

"Let's go, go back to the mourning hall, and let the eldest young master help investigate if anyone has entered the eldest lady's room recently." I looked at everything messy here, and because it was messy, there was no clue at all.

The white mourning hall was bathed in the red sunlight of the early morning, and the spirit flags fluttered in the wind, and my senior sister and I walked into the mourning hall together. There is only one person in the mourning hall, and the sun shines on the Buddha to know the sadness here, and it can't shine into the mourning hall of this old man Le.

I told Le Qing that the eldest lady was most likely killed by someone from the Le family, and Le Qing didn't feel much sadness after hearing it, but asked lightly, "Can you find the murderer?" “

Promise shook his head. said: "If you want to find the murderer, you have to know who the eldest lady has been in contact with in the past few days, and the murderer must have entered the eldest wife's room." ”

After hearing this, Le Qing shook her head and said, "Since the day she woke up Ping'er, after Jin Feng's framing of her second brother was exposed, Jin Feng also knew that she had no face to see people, so she stayed in the house recently and didn't have any contact with anyone. ”

"Orange, senior sister, have you come here so soon?" At this time, the fat man and the mouse walked out, and Huairou followed behind the two people, looking at the two of us who appeared in the mourning hall in surprise.

"Did you find whose porcelain bottle it was?" Seeing the three people coming in, I opened my arms and hugged Huairou who was running quickly, and asked.

The fat man raised the small porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "The second young master and the young lady have asked." They all said that they didn't know who this porcelain bottle was, and now they were about to ask the eldest young master, and it is estimated that the eldest young master did not know. ”

Le Qing stared closely at the Qinghua porcelain bottle in the fat man's hand, and said with a serious face: "I have seen this porcelain bottle......"

"Where have you seen it?" Hearing Le Qing's words, the fat man instantly became interested and hurriedly asked.

After thinking for a while, Le Qing said, "I remember when I was a child. I saw two small porcelain bottles in my father's medicine box, at that time I took out the porcelain bottles because of my greed for fun, and my father found out and scolded me, and quickly put the porcelain bottles back, and I still remember them vividly, and then my father put these two porcelain bottles away, and I haven't seen them since then......"

After listening to Le Qing's words, the four of us glanced at each other, this porcelain bottle is really Master Le's, combined with the holy decree we received in Master Le's room that night, could it be said that the person who wants to resurrect Yongzheng is really the dead Master Le?

After knowing that this porcelain bottle was Mr. Le's, we were not very happy. Because in this way, the clue is broken.

Who poured the blood of the emperor into the lotus pond? Could it be that the dead Master Le has never come back to life?

In the mourning hall, we looked at Master Le who was lying on the ground, because Master Le only had half of his face miserable and terrifying before his death, and his whole body was covered with a white cloth, but fortunately it was winter, and the corpse did not smell of decay after two days.

Under our gaze, the senior sister suddenly walked slowly to Le Jingyu's corpse, and she stared closely at the white cloth. Then the senior sister squatted down next to the corpse, stretched out her hand and lifted off the white cloth.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?" Looking at Le Jingyu who didn't have half of his face under the white cloth, I felt a little disgusted, and asked in confusion.

"Huh, note!" Chen Jinghao, who was staring at the corpse, soon found a note in Le Jingyu's hand. Chen Jinghao picked up the note.

I saw a warning on the note: "Ye Cheng, we are not here for you this time, as long as you don't interfere in the affairs of the Le family and leave now, those ghosts outside will not hurt you, if you don't leave, the next person to die will be one between you." ”

Seeing the content of the note, several of us looked at each other, and Le Qing looked at us nervously, for fear that we would leave here.

"Young Master, don't worry, we won't leave." I turned around and comforted Le Qing, turned my head to look at my senior sister and said, "It's best not to separate the five of us these days, the other party has already issued a warning, and I believe that action will be taken soon." ”

Chen Jinghao said disapprerovingly: "Do they think we are comparable to those useless things of Lejia, if they want to kill us, it's not that simple." ”

"Ahem......" Le Qing coughed lightly when he heard Chen Jinghao's words.

Chen Jinghao turned his head to look at Le Qing with a cute face, and asked, "Young Master, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Le Qing's face suddenly turned purple, ignoring Chen Jinghao, I quickly stood up and said, "Young Master, did the eldest lady tell you about the golden hairpin before she died?" ”

Le Qing was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at me in confusion, and said, "What golden hairpin?" ”

Hearing Le Qing's question, I remembered that the people of the Le family only knew that the golden hairpin was stolen, but few people knew that the golden hairpin was actually stolen by the eldest wife.

Just when I was about to explain, I saw a slightly older family member walk in outside the door, and I saw the family Ding walk up to Le Qing's side and said, "Young master, according to the funeral regulations, I will give the master a bath and change new clothes in the afternoon, do you want to start preparing now?" ”

According to the custom of burial, people begin to notify relatives and friends on the first day after death, and the next afternoon the family will go to fetch water for the deceased outside the house, bathe the deceased and change clothes in the evening, and then carry the deceased into the coffin for the final burial tomorrow.

"Well, let's start preparing, Mr. Ye, if there is nothing else, I'll go and prepare first." Le Qing turned his head to look at me and spoke.

"Well, go ahead, we're going back to our room to rest." I nodded.

In the afternoon, staying in the courtyard and listening to the mourning music in the distance, I always felt some deep unease in my heart. I didn't know what I was worried about, so much so that I called the fat man and Huairou outside as they were playing in the room. Remember to take a break.

In the evening, the people of Lejia told us to go to the lobby for dinner, which was also the last dinner of the deceased. The seven people who carry the coffin tomorrow, commonly known as the Eight Immortals, set up a table in the mourning hall to eat with the souls of the deceased, and many people want to ask why there are only seven people in the Eight Immortals? That's because there is one immortal who is the one who died, so it is called eight immortals.

After eating, the night also dimmed, and the Yongle Mansion was once again shrouded in darkness and enchanting lotus incense, and the dark world was slowly lit up by candlelight.

The servants of the Lejia blocked the door, scrambling to look inside the mourning hall, because at this time, the Lejia was performing one of the most important rituals of the funeral, bathing and changing the clothes of the deceased. Ominous things often happen are gathered at this stage, fortunately this time everything went very smoothly, followed by the crying, by the family of the family to cry, after the mourning in the eight immortals will be carried into the coffin by the eight immortals, the family around the house three times, the whole funeral is over more than half, and finally the funeral, invite someone to sing and perform, everyone together lively and lively to soothe the pain of the deceased's family.

All the servants of the house sat around the edge of the clearing, watching the actors in the clearing, and from time to time laughed at their witty, slightly yellow performances.

Huairou and I just sat on the edge of a fire plate in the distance, burning paper money for Master Le, and quietly watching all this.

"Hahaha!"

The crowd of mourners in the distance laughed from time to time, they seemed to forget all the panic these days, today is also the first time I have seen the people of Lejia laugh so happily, so the funeral is still very necessary, no one wants to leave the pain to the family after leaving, and the deceased also hopes to let all the pain disappear with the spring, summer, autumn and winter......

Therefore, when it comes to funerals, this seemingly happy atmosphere is very disrespectful to the deceased, but it is very necessary.

"Take off, take off, take off!" The fat man couldn't bear to run into the crowd, and he didn't know what was going on over there, so he heard the fat man shouting loudly at the crowd: "Touch her ass, touch her thigh!" ”

Chen Jinghao on the side pulled the fat man and said, "Fat man, you are also a Taoist, can you not be like this...... Lascivious? ”

"You know a fart, this funeral, eighteen touches are supposed to be larger, this twisted and pinched, the old man is not happy to see it in the spirit of heaven, isn't it...... Take it off again, take it off again! ”

"Amma, it's so lively there, I'm going to see it too

I quickly grabbed Huairou, who put down the paper money and wanted to run, and said, "Don't mess around, children!" ”

At this time, there was an extra figure in front of me, I raised my head and looked ahead, only to see the second young master Le Hao coming over, looking at me in the candlelight and saying, "Why doesn't Mr. Ye go and watch the excitement together?" ”

I pulled Huairou into my arms, looked at the second young master with a smile and said, "I like to be quiet, the second young master has worked hard these days, and the master will be buried tomorrow!" ”

There was no relaxation on Le Hao's face, I saw him frowning, Le Hao picked up the paper money on the ground and burned it for a while, then raised his head to look at me.

I was about to wait for him to say something, but he stopped again, and the way he wanted to say something made me very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter, Second Young Master, do you have something to tell me?" I asked.
