Chapter 361: Posthumous Burial

The light rain kept falling, but there were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and they all went in one direction, that is, the yamen of Jiang County, and specially went to pay tribute to the old beggar.

Most of them were professors and lecturers from various counties, and after learning of the death of the old beggar, they rushed to Jiang County day and night, and three or four hundred people had already come to the entire yamen, and the cries were continuous.

Teahouse.

"Smack!"

The storyteller patted the wood in surprise and said slowly: "It is said that this old beggar went to beg along the street early in the morning in order to build a school so that the children of poor families could afford to go to school. ”

"That's really pitiful, I was punched and kicked by others, saying that he affected other people's business, and said that he was unlucky, unlucky, and sick and injured all over his body, and he begged for more than a dozen dollars all day long, and he was reluctant to buy food, so he secretly gave it to his friends in the school, and he picked up some of the porridge left by others to drink, and it was considered a full ......."

In this way, the old beggar used the money he had saved to spend his whole life building no less than 20 schools and private schools in more than a dozen places such as Jiang County, Wu County, and Li County...... What a ......."

The storyteller was already choked up, and the audience had already cried into tears.

Outside the gate of the Yan Mansion.

Hundreds of people surrounded the door with great momentum, scolding at the door, constantly throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, the gate of the Yan Mansion was closed, and all the children of the Yan family did not dare to go out half a step.

This incident alarmed Shaoming Mansion, and Tao Zhifu looked at the notebook on the desk in front of him, frowning slightly.

Just overnight, a person died, but smashed the door of the Yan family.

Overnight, schools in various counties went on strike, and all professors and gentlemen went to Jiang County.

And today, the streets and alleys are telling the story of "the old beggar begging to build a school", and many readers jointly wrote an excerpt and scolded the Yan family in Jiangxian County.

Faced with this matter, it was difficult for the Tao Governor to deal with it, so he sent a letter to the Suzhou Yamen to report the situation.

Subsequently, this incident appeared on the literary list and became the hottest new headline.

At the same time, the deeds of many old beggars have been dug up, and scholars with official titles have written articles on the literary list, all of which are the deeds of the old beggars who used to beg and who they funded to build a school with, all of which are touching.

In order to express their admiration, many scholars burn incense outside the window and recite the Analects in their hands, and the streets and alleys are filled with the sound of many readings.

The entire Liang country was touched by the spirit and deeds of the old beggar.

Jiang County.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

A green cloud fell outside the yamen of Jiangxian County, and then a university scholar walked in, came to the old beggar's mourning hall, and saw that everyone was kneeling and guarding the spirit, and his face was extremely shocked for a moment.

"Ahem!"

The scholar coughed, opened the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the monarch's edict said, I heard that the old gentleman has been begging all his life, for decades he has been sleeping in the open air, starving, suffering from bitterness and illness, and selflessly dedicating the money to build a private school. ”

"In addition, the state treasury of 3 million taels will be transferred to all states and governments across the country to build private schools, exempt from taxes for half a year, and exempt the tuition fees of local literary academies for one year, so as to comfort the soul of 'begging' in heaven. ”

After reading it, everyone shouted in unison: "Hurrah, hooray, hooray!"

Holding the decree in both hands, the scholar respectfully placed it in front of the coffin and personally offered incense.

After a moment of silence, the scholar bowed his hand to everyone: "There is still business below, I can't keep a vigil for Mr., I am extremely ashamed, so I will leave." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the yamen and left with steady steps.

With the rapid spread of the old beggar's deeds, no one in the whole Jiang County was moved, and many families hung three-foot white silk outside the door in order to express their silence.

In just one day, every household in Jiang County hung white silk, and even outside the gate of Yan Mansion, white lanterns were hung to worship 'Mr. Beggar Pity'.

Jiangxian Susu!

Three days later, the old beggar came out of the funeral and was buried in a feng shui treasure outside Jiang County, and countless scholars volunteered to see him off, and the whole street was crowded with readers from all over the country.

After the burial and the erection of the monument, Han Xiao said to many readers: "Mr. Beggar has been buried in the ground, all readers, please mourn and change, instead of being sad and sad, it is better to inherit Mr. Selfless spirit, strengthen the strength of our human race, and promote the prestige of our country." ”

"Lord Han is very true!" everyone echoed.

At this time, Yan Wu was still kneeling in front of the tomb to repent, but even so, everyone was eager to go up and chop him up with a knife.

Han Xiao asked Lu Ming, "Lu Wenhou, do you think now, how should we send Yan Wu down?"

Lu Ming didn't answer, but walked up to Yan Wu and asked, "Are you regretting your mistakes?"

"Yes......"

Yan Wu didn't dare to look at Lu Ming, and his voice was very small in reply.

"It's useless for you to regret it, the old gentleman is gone, even if you regret it a thousand times or ten thousand times in your heart, it doesn't make any sense, but it will make everyone think that you are fake and ridiculous!"

"I'll tell you something ugly, if it weren't for the old gentleman's intercession for you before he died, you would have been beheaded by the yamen a long time ago, you must not have thought that a person who was once beaten by you actually saved your life! Yan Wu, Yan Wu, you still claim to be a scholar of the Yan family, what a blessing!"

Speaking of this, Yan Wu's whole body trembled, and he kowtowed three times to the tombstone, then stood up, tore his clothes with a "bang", and bit his fingers to write two lines on his clothes.

Do not throw blood with your head,

This life is in vain to be a reader!

After writing, he threw it into the air, and happened to fall on the tombstone, which was written in blood, and every reader could see it clearly, and there was also a heroic momentum that rushed into the sky.

Yan Wu bowed his hand to everyone and said loudly: "From now on, I am no longer a scholar of the Yan family, I will go to the Demon World Mountain to join the army, protect the territory of the Liang Kingdom, die, and die on the battlefield, in order to repay the great kindness of the old man, if I violate this oath, heaven and man will be killed!"

As soon as the words fell, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and it was fleeting.

"I hope you can keep your promise. Lu Ming said.

"I will never regret what I said!"

After Yan Wu dropped these words, he left here, left Jiang County, and walked all the way in the direction of Demon Realm Mountain.

Han Xiao thought in his heart: "The old gentleman didn't save him in vain, I hope he can make countless contributions to atone for his sins." ”
