Chapter 169: Kneeling Statue
readx;? Early the next morning, the people of the General City gathered in the renovated cemetery. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The cemetery has expanded more than ten times, and many properties that originally belonged to the Song family but were occupied by the Daoyi Hall were demolished. According to Dongfang Yu's meaning, this is basically an open small square, planted with many evergreen plants in all seasons, and many stone tables and stone benches are placed. The most distinctive feature is that the ground is paved with the same pole stones as General Street. Perhaps because of the infinite power of money, the craftsmen actually took the used old stone from other streets, and the pulp was obvious, smooth and translucent.
The main entrance of the cemetery is a row of high steps, and on both sides of the top of the steps, there is a white jade pillar stone, which is 20 meters high and nearly two meters square. Above the jade pillar, there are finely carved light jade beams, engraved with birds, insects and fish, Jin Ge iron horse.
On this Seiko archway, carved with a couplet, made by Dongfang Yu, written by Long Qi himself, golden and sassy.
Shanglian is: iron-blooded Danxin, the pillar of the country, and there are four generals of the Song family through the ages;
The next link is: the people's fat and the people's ointment, the bloodthirsty lice flies, and the stench for 10,000 years is the two fangs of Ge Chu.
On this platform, there are 1 pair of copper sheep, 1 pair of copper tigers, and 1 pair of copper horses on both sides, each three meters high. The last pair was already in front of the tomb, covered with red cloth, and I don't know what it was.
The people helped the old and the young, and the old people rested on the stone benches. The children ran like crazy in the cemetery, grabbing the sloping stones on both sides of the stairs at each entrance point, whistling and playing "slides" on them.
People are talking one after another, talking about nothing more than the merits of the Song family, the meanness of the Daoyi Hall, and the unhappiness of the retribution of the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Their lives may be poor and ruined, but in this failure, they finally see a bright color, which may be the hope of the future. Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Hall to cut the mouth of the L section
The time for the ceremony was far from coming, and the veterans of Sijiu City had arrived in their most decent clothes. They bowed to their old commanders one after another, and then nailed them to the grave like standing guards, like two rows of green pines.
The time was almost up, and Nangong Zhou picked up Mrs. Song and the other sisters-in-law first. At this time, the official driver of the city lord Chu Hongwei had arrived, accompanied by three officials, who seemed to be two civilians and one martial arts.
Chu Hongwei is short and thin, and the thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes are really appropriate to describe him, a pair of small eyes are too flexible, slippery and around, and waving to the citizens with a red face, as if it was his idea to repair the cemetery for the hero.
This guy walked all the way, praised all the way, and was stunned that he didn't find the obvious scolding in the couplet. Shen Kun appeared as the senior brother of the Nest Bed Cliff, of course, he greeted him, but he just gave up his hand and just wanted to talk to Chu Hongwei. This guy turned his head and said: "Master, don't forget to collect the reconstruction tax, the national tax burden should not be ignored." ā
Nangong Zhou's nose was almost crooked, praising the hero This is what the lord of the city should pay for, and now he actually has to collect taxes. But how did he know that even more annoying was yet to come.
I only heard the master's voice reply in a feminine voice: "Don't worry, isn't it just a reconstruction tax? This is the house demolition tax, land levy tax, paving tax, stone removal tax, mercenary tax, planting tax, carving tax, transportation tax, carriage and horse tax, dung tax, city gate tax...... This is a rare major project in our city in the past ten years, and taxes are indispensable. ā
Chu Hongwei originally said it to Shen Kun, aren't you rich? This time I will definitely knock you hard. Now, he saw that Shen Kun's face was so black that it seemed to be bloody, and the happiness in his heart, with a touch of rat whiskers, said reservedly: "Master, commending the martyrs is what righteousness should do." Since I have been invited to unveil the lottery today, I can't help but express myself. I think the two taxes on paving the ground and unearthing stones will be exempted, right?"
They talked to themselves for a while, and then turned to Shen Kun, who had been left out in the cold for a long time, as if they had suddenly found the ground, and said, "Oh, I didn't see Senior Brother Shen welcoming him here, it's rude, it's rude." Haha, Brother God leads the way. ā
Originally, the identity of Shenkun, the senior brother, was also going to pretend for a while, but now his lungs are exploding, with his experience, he can't be considered forbearant if he doesn't do it on the spot, how can he be willing to be lower. Immediately said coldly: "You are indeed rude, very rude." You're just a little city lord, a second-grade martial artist. Do you know that in the absence of my teacher, I can represent the nest bed cliff. Didn't you even take the Nest Cliff in your eyes?"
The atmosphere suddenly turned a big turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.
Chu Hongwei bullied Shen Kun at a young age, and intended to give him a dismount, where did he think that the other party would not give face, it was simply not according to the routine at all. For a moment he froze there, his mouth slightly open, and he didn't know what to say.
The master just wanted to speak, but Shen Kun's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Shut up, where is there a place for you to speak, get out!"
The master was stupid, I haven't seen such a faceless person in eight hundred years.
Fortunately, there is Dongfang Yu, knowing that Long Qi and Nangong Zhou are more arrogant than the other, and it is impossible to go forward to solve the siege. So he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shenkun and said, "The adults are also busy talking about business, don't they see you, how can they deliberately ignore you?"
Dongfang Yu said, threw a storage bag to the master, and said boldly: "Master, please check it, if it's not enough, we'll add more." ā
Chu Hongwei hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, people like him bullied the soft and were afraid of the hard, and he really ran into a stunned person like Shenkun, there was really no way. Thinking about the situation just now, I haven't figured out how to crack it yet.
Dongfang Yu took the initiative to lead the city lord, first inspected the veterans present, and then went to see Mrs. Song. The old lady spoke to him without being salty, and obviously had no respect for him in her heart.
Dongfang Yu didn't say anything, he arched his hand to Chu Hongwei and said, "Master Chu, do you think the ceremony can start? Are you here to preside over it, or are you asking my senior brother to preside over it?"
When Chu Hongwei heard this, his eyes rolled wildly, and he felt that it was better to let the little black fat man preside over it, so as not to be provoked by this kid in public, so he said: "Naturally, I will ask the senior brother to preside." ā
Shen Kun glanced at him, looking like he knew you, and walked to the front with high spirits.
Chu Hongwei muttered in his heart, what kind of thing is this? Why did the nest bed cliff choose such a stunned young man as a senior brother? How stable was that just now.
At this moment, Shen Kun was facing the four tombs at the front and said loudly, "Kneel!"
Hulala, a large number of people knelt down in the entire cemetery, even the old lady Song insisted on kneeling slightly, the dead were the biggest, Nangong Zhou did not force him, and accompanied him to kneel on the ground.
Chu Hongwei is stupid again, what can I do, the four of them are prominent in the garden. Kneel and kneel, the general of the empire, his original identity was higher than him, and now he can't do it if he doesn't kneel, so he has to reluctantly kneel on one knee.
At this time, a group of men held wine bowls for everyone.
Shen Kun raised a wine bowl, knelt in front of him, and said loudly: "The princes of the Song family, cherish their family and country, promise the people of the world with their bodies, and crisscross the northern battlefield. After a hundred battles, he has never tasted defeat, and the sword of the gods has been flying for thousands of miles. Jin Ge Iron Horse, the Northern Army is frightened, leaving his wife and mother, and his loyal soul blooms in the starry sky. Hey, the work of the princes is better than the sun. The benevolence of the public, benevolence is better than the stars.
A glass of turbid wine, thousands of miles away from home and country, we are floating a big white, for the longevity of your brothers!"
Shen Kun said, raised his head and drank the whole bowl of spirits, and everyone's tears flowed down.
This sacrificial poem was also written by Dongfang Yu, which is not only quite ancient, but also alludes to the fact that the general's mother and descendants have not been respected and protected as they should be.
At this time, people all remembered the merits of the four generals of the Song family, and the benevolence and righteousness of the old lady Song, all of whom had tears in their eyes, and they covered it by drinking, and swallowed it into their stomachs with tears.
Shen Kun wiped his tears violently, and a voice seemed to come from the dantian, bringing out a fierce voice: "After the ceremony, everyone please get up, below, please unveil the lottery!"
People stood up hulala, wiping tears from their eyes, while guessing what the two statues in the front were covered with red silk?
Chu Hongwei also pretended to be sad, wiped unwarranted tears, walked to a statue, and lifted the red silk.
There were discussions, and it turned out to be Ge Tong's kneeling statue, cast in bronze, bowing his head and pouting, vivid.
"It's him, bastard!" the veterans in front of them cursed, some of them spitting.
Chu Hongwei was a little sluggish, he thought it was some kind of rui beast guarding the tomb, where did he think that it would be a human? At this time, he just wanted this ceremony to end quickly, so he immediately took off another piece of red silk.
"Huh!" was a cry of surprise.
Chu Hongwei was a little dazed, why does this statue look a little familiar?
