431 Funeral

The sky was gray, on both sides of the door, a pair of white lanterns were hanging, the iron door slowly opened, and the sound from the door shaft was like a sad sigh, and the brothers of Gu Jinnian carried the coffin of Marquis Rong out, Rong Zhao walked in front of the coffin, and smashed the brick pot of burning paper at the gate.

The spirit of falling and mourning should have been done by Rong Yao, but now that he is not there, Rong Zhao will do it.

There is a particular point in breaking the basin, it must be broken at one time, and the more it is broken, the louder the better. It is said that this basin is the woe of the dead, and it can only be brought to the underworld when it is smashed and broken, and there will be no more calamities for future generations.

Rong Zhao held it high above his head and fell to the ground fiercely, the tile basin shattered, crisp sound, and at first entered Rong Zhao's heart, tears fell involuntarily and mixed into the tile basin.

In the clay pot are the ashes of the paper money burned in the past two days, and after burning the money, Marquis Rong will also have money after his death, and he will not suffer in the underworld.

As soon as the tile basin fell, someone shouted "Spirit", Gu Jinnian's brothers and several sons-in-law of the Rong family quickly got up the bar, Rong Zhao carried the soul banner and drove away.

In the past, the bustling Suzaku Street was unusually cold at this time, and the mansions where the street lived were all strictly forbidden to have doors, and those officials who had just come down from the court hurriedly asked the sedan chair driver to hide to the side so as not to face each other directly.

The white man in filial piety clothes walked to both sides of the coffin, holding the child softly, and followed Rong Zhao's side.

Walking to the street out of the city, there were more people gathered, and ordinary people gathered around the street, whispering a few words from time to time. or contempt, or sympathy, with different attitudes.

The funeral was very cold, and there was not even a mourning, only the sound of paper money falling to the ground.

Rong Zhao calmly faced those different eyes, holding his head high, as if to tell everyone that their Rong family was upright and innocent.

Suddenly, a person rushed out in front of him, thinking that he was still running out to throw things like that day, but he saw the man running over and kneeling in front of the coffin with a pop.

As soon as Rong Zhao's footsteps stopped, the people behind him also stopped.

"Marquis Rong, Fang San is here to see you off. The man burst into tears, and his head hit the ground heavily, "Back then, I was in prison and was falsely accused of murder. It was Marquis Rong who found that the case was strange when you were reviewing the file, and retried it for me. I realized that it was the real murderer who colluded with the officials, and the officials protected each other and deliberately slandered me. If it weren't for you, who were righteous and awe-inspiring, and didn't go with the dog officials, and overturned the case for me, now, my third room would have seen the king of Hades a long time ago. ”

Knocked two more in a row, this person is a solid eye, three kowtows, the forehead is already oozing blood, "Your great kindness, my three teeth are unforgettable, I can't repay you in this life, I will definitely give you a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay the grace of saving your life in this life." ”

Rong Zhao's heart was moved, and let people help Fang San, Fang San walked to Rong Zhao's side with a slight tremble, "I know, Lord Rong is by no means a traitor and thief, he must have been framed." Princess Chu, you have to believe that there is a reason in this world, and one day Marquis Rong's innocence will be just like me back then, innocent in the world. ”

Rong Zhao nodded, bowed slightly, and said sincerely, "Thank you." "There are few people who can bow down, but this one is sincere.

A man ran out of the crowd and knelt down in front of the coffin. Rong Zhao looked at her familiarly, as if she had once worked as a maid in Ronghou's mansion, but she couldn't name her.

"Master Hou, Lan Qing is here to see you off for the last ride. "Lying on the ground," Lan Qing kowtowed to you, you have a good way. Lan Qing was a maid in the Ronghou Mansion back then, and you treated us generously, which was very good to us. Knowing that my mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, I paid for a doctor to treat my mother, and my mother picked up a life, and it was you who saved her. Today, I brought my mother to see you off. ”

She turned her face to look, and a lady came over, and was helped to stagger. Lan Qing stood up and took it, the eldest lady knelt on the ground and kowtowed slowly, "Lord Rong, it was you who saved the life of the old woman, today, you suffered a misfortune, we have no ability, we can't exchange this life for you." Today, when you come to your funeral, I will come to see you off and kowtow to you. ”

Rong Zhao saw that the old man was still kneeling on the ground at such an old age, so he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said to Lan Qing: "Lan Qing, help your mother up." ”

Lan Qing wiped her tears and helped her mother up, and looked at Rong Zhao, "Miss, you mourn." ”

Rong Zhao bowed, "I'm sorry for you, I can still come to see my father off at this time." ”

Lan Qing covered her mouth, tears stained her cheeks, and whimpered: "People's hearts are long, we have received the favor of the Hou Ye, and we dare not forget." ”

Many people poured in from all directions in the crowd, kowtowing around the coffin, all of whom were subordinates who had served in the Ronghou Mansion.

When I got married, Master Hou was afraid that I would be bullied, so he gave me a dowry like a daughter. He treats us all so well that I don't believe he would do anything rebellious. ”

"I have been by the Hou Ye's side for many years, teaching by word and deed, hearing from the Hou Ye all day long to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, how could such a person do something rebellious. ”

"I see the marquis busy with political affairs every day, and every time he works until late at night, a minister who serves the country and the people is visible to the sky. ”

"Master Hou, the minions are here to see you off. ”

"Master Hou, you go all the way. ”

Looking at this group of people, Rong Zhao was moved in his heart, righteousness is always slaughtering dogs, and negative hearts are always readers. At this time, those people who were usually good friends with their fathers had already turned into shrunken turtles and quails, but these people could appear at this time without caring about themselves.

"Get up quickly, get up. Rong Zhao helped one person up, and the others also stood up one after another, Rong Zhao looked at the crowd: "Thank you for coming to give my father a ride, I think his old man can see it, and I am very grateful to you." Rong Zhao had tears in his eyes, "I am also grateful to you, if I Rong Zhao treated you badly before, beat you and scolded you, then this time, I solemnly say sorry to you, I hope you will forgive me." Rong Zhao bent down and bowed to everyone.

"Miss, I can't help it, how can you apologize and bow to us?" Lan Qing hurriedly helped Rong Zhao up.

The others chimed in, "Yes, I can't help it, I can't help it." We can't afford it. ”

"Miss, you mourn, you must take care of yourself. ”

"Anything can pass, and it won't always be dark in this world. You have to believe that one day the Hou Ye will be able to settle his grievances. ”

Some people also blamed themselves, "When we received the news, we should go back to the Hou Mansion to worship the Hou Ye, and now I really regret it, it's good to give him a pillar of incense." ”

"It's all because we're cowardly, we don't dare to go, for fear of being implicated. Miss, I'm really sorry for you, I'm sorry for Master Hou. ”

"I'm glad you can come now. Rong Zhao wiped his tears, put away his teary eyes, and said, "Okay, my father and I have received your wishes." These are extraordinary times, I don't want to implicate you, you guys hurry up. If the soldiers come later, you will be dragged down. Go back, don't stand here, let's go. ”

"Miss, let's follow you and send the Hou Ye out of the city. Lan Qingdao.

"Yes, we are not afraid of being implicated, it's a big deal, it's a death, just right, follow Master Hou and go down to serve him. ”

The tears that were finally stopped hung on his eyelashes again, and Rong Zhao choked up: "Listen to me, don't be impulsive, the most important thing is to live in this world." You've sent it here, it's enough, don't send it any more. Let's all go back," looking at the people behind him, "Everyone, you all go back, I promise, one day my father's innocence will be washed in blood, and my Ronghou Mansion will regain its glory, and then I will call you all back." Now, listen to me, let's go, let's go. ”

Everyone was reluctant, and they kowtowed to Marquis Rong three times before leaving.

Rong Zhao turned around and looked at the coffin of Marquis Rong, Dad, you saw it, there are so many people coming to see you off. I believe that in your heart, having these sincere people to send you is much more precious than those who only know how to worship high and low. Those people, don't deliver you.

"Spirit!" Rong Zhao wiped away her tears, shouted, and continued walking, her face more resolute and more proud.

Some people have a soft heart, and when they see this scene, they burst into tears. Some people were also cloudy, and they thought that Marquis Rong was a traitor, but when they saw that there were so many subordinates to send each other, the eyes that were full of disdain just now were also taken back. Some people think it's just a show, and they still regard Marquis Rong as a chaotic minister and thief.

However, what they think, Rong Zhao doesn't care, there is righteousness in heaven and earth, and sooner or later, one day, they will be able to clear the clouds and see the blue sky. Her father's grievances will definitely be cleared, and all the truth will be revealed to the world.

When the coffin walked to the city gate, a guard guarding the city stepped forward to stop it, "Whose funeral is this?"

It seems that I drank wine last night, and I haven't woken up yet, drunk, and I smell of alcohol when I speak.

Rong Zhao coldly skimmed at him, his eyes were as cold as the sparkle of Xuantie, and the stabbing guard immediately woke up halfway from drinking. However, he was still so arrogant, "What are you staring at, asking you, whose family is dead?"

Rong Zhao took out a silver whip and hit him in the face, and instantly a blood mark appeared on his cheek, "Dare to be so disrespectful to this princess, you are looking for death!"

The half-drunk guard touched his face, saw the blood on his fingers, his eyes widened, and he was about to draw his knife, "Stinky, you dare to hit me?"

Another guard heard Rong Zhao claiming to be the princess, and he felt bad in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to grab him, blocked in front of him, and saluted Rong Zhao, "I don't know which mansion the princess is from?" Glancing at the coffin, "Who is Xianyou in the mansion?"

Rong Zhao raised his head and said: "This princess is the princess of Chu, and the person in the coffin is my father Marquis Rong." ”

The half-drunk man woke up from all the wine, and he wanted to beat himself in the mouth, how could he be so blind and deaf, and insult the princess, it was really not enough to cut nine lives.

But when I thought about it again, Marquis Rong, wasn't he the rebellious minister and thief? In this way, the fear in his heart was reduced by half. The daughter of a rebellious minister and thief, what is there to be afraid of.

I don't know who gave him the courage to think like this, I'm afraid it's really wine that instigates people's courage.
