Sending Cui Xian away, Xin Zan looked out the window and secretly thought of a way to deal with it. At this time, the night rain was thick, and there was a faint thunder, which seemed to indicate that something big was coming. Xin Zan turned back to Xin Wenyu and said: "Lei Yuting wants to kill me, this disaster is right in front of me, I expect that the document urging me to take office will arrive tomorrow." You managed to inform Shang Xuhu and Lei Tianyou that there has been a change in the recent days, and they raised their own banners to resist Jin, and the 50,000 grains and grass that Lei Yuting had previously raised for Qincha were placed in the warehouse in the pine forest in the north of the city. The pine forest was only guarded by two or three hundred old and weak military academies, and when the time came, five hundred dead soldiers besieged the warehouse, set fire to the military grain and grass, and then quickly withdrew from the city, fled to the mountains, tried to connect with the king's division, and then tried to survive. ”

Xin Wenyu said: "Father's plan is very good! Grain and grass and military supplies are important tasks before the army, and the Thunder Rain Pavilion does not study the art of war, but only sends the old and weak to guard, which is really a godsend. As soon as we wait for a sudden siege, the warehouse guard will be unprepared, take him by surprise, and then burn the pine forest. That Lei Yuting lost food and grass and military supplies, how can he explain to Qincha? This loss of grain and grass is a serious crime, and when the time comes, Lei Yuting is afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself, but how can he harm Zhongliang again? ”

Xin Zan was silent for a long time, and said: "Although this move is good, it is a battle against the water, the grain and grass and military supplies are burned, how can a thousand households let me go?" Xin's door, it is difficult to survive! Don't hesitate when something big happens. Tonight, you quickly take Xiao Qijian out of the city in the rain, and ask someone to take him to Xichuan and entrust it to your Uncle Liang. Then pretending that the little girl suddenly fell ill and died in the middle of the night, she sold a small coffin early tomorrow morning, filled with grass and stones, and chose a place to put it into the soil by the pond outside the court. The whole family is sad, and the old man can't afford to be sick, saying that I am afraid that I will die soon because of too much grief! In this way, it can delay the appointment of the army and delay the army; Thunderstorm Pavilion saw that I was about to die, and it could also make him feel at ease, which was the way to avoid disaster.

The father and son have decided, taking advantage of the old lady and the young lady sleeping and ignorant, Xin Wenyu prepared the baby's things, hid Xin Zan's letter to Liang Shouxin, put on a hat, put on a raincoat, and sneaked out of the back door with the little abandonment in his arms. At that time, it was nearly five watches at night, and it was raining heavily, and those sentinels were tired for days, and they were dizzy and dizzy in the morning, so they could not care about careful inspection. But it's also a kit coincidence, that little abandoned illness is usually noisy, I don't know why tonight is exceptionally stable, Xin Wenyu braved the rain and hurried, but he slept soundly all the way, and never cried!

Xin Wenyu took the child and hurriedly traveled six or seven miles into a farmhouse. It turned out that this was the residence of the Tiger and Lei Tianyou. When the three of them met, they all said what they meant. So Shang Xuhu asked people to prepare a donkey cart, called the little sister Lu Siniang, and the two dressed up as husband and wife. But when there was a question, he said: The father-in-law died, and the husband and wife went to the funeral. The arrangements were properly arranged, and Xin Wenyu took a detour to return home.

But it was said that the sky was bright and the sound of rain was getting quieter. Xin Wenyu arrived outside the coffin shop in the old house not far from the door of his house, and saw the old housekeeper looking sad and choosing a small coffin in the store. The owner of the coffin shop was familiar with the old housekeeper, so he asked, "Who died in the house?" But I sent a housekeeper to come to my little shop! The old housekeeper sighed and said: "Life is impermanent, the little daughter of the house suddenly got a bad disease last night, and died early before dawn, because it was not yet May, and I was not yet an adult, so the lord ordered me to sell a small coffin and bury it simply, I don't want to bother too much, and cause that sadness!" ”

The owner of the coffin shop was also a good person, and he was sad when he heard this, but he just said: "It is said that good people don't live long, and Lord Naxin is old, how can he withstand such a blow!" When the old butler heard this, he replied, "Who says it isn't? White-haired people send black-haired people, so can they not be sad? The old man is already sick, as soon as this thing comes out, the whole person collapses, now the water and rice do not enter, I am afraid that time is running out, and then maybe I will have to trouble you again, you still take the good coffin on the mouth in the morning, and also prevent the temporary miscarriage of business! ”

Xin Wenyu saw that Steward Zhang was chatting with the owner of the coffin shop, and several whistles pretending to be village husbands were also wandering around the store, asking about the price of the coffin. walked into the coffin shop, and when the shopkeeper saw Xin Wenyu coming, he hurriedly put away the topic and chose the coffin for the old housekeeper. Xin Wenyu saw the old housekeeper, and pretended to be sad and said: "The little girl's life is thin, and the housekeeper is tired of selling high-quality coffins, don't be afraid of losing money!" The old housekeeper then said, "I picked a few coffins, and this small coffin at the four corners of Nanmu is the best!" Xin Wenyu said: "I am in a sad mood, and I don't know these good or bad, so I rely on the housekeeper to decide", so he chose this coffin, paid two silver taels, and the shopkeeper sent a few men to send the coffin into Xin's house by car. Xin Wenyu and the old housekeeper also entered the mansion with him.

Entering the house, I saw a group of people busy in and out, tying paper people, setting up a funeral shed, the old lady and the young lady were crying in the house, Xin Wenyu entered the inner room to see Xin Zan, and said that there was still a tiger to protect the little abandonment of illness and go out of the city. Xin Zan ordered the old housekeeper to arrange the coffin as soon as possible and play mourning music. Xin Wenyu went to see the old lady again, the old lady and the young lady were wiping away tears, and when they saw Xin Wenyu coming in, the old lady picked up a cane and beat her over, and scolded in her mouth: "What a ruthless son!" Where did you send my little grandson? Xin Wenyu didn't shy away, just stood there in a daze, letting the two blood on his forehead flow down, mixed with hot tears, and suddenly blurred his eyes. The young lady tugged at the corner of Xin Wenyu's clothes, howled and cried, and complained in her mouth: "Pity my Tanfu! At such a young age, how can he live? I miss you for my mother! I miss you for my mother! ”

said that he got up early that day, Lei Yuting came to the yamen and was urging Xin Zan to send the appointment papers. Suddenly, I heard the whistle to report: "Xin Zan's little granddaughter died of illness last night, this morning to buy a coffin, Xin Zan's house is full of mourning, according to the investigation Xin Zan's grief, the condition is aggravated, I am afraid that there will be no time!" ”

Confirming that the news was correct, Lei Yuting was secretly happy in his heart, he wanted to borrow the hand of Qin Cha to get rid of this old fox, but who would have thought that a disaster would fall from the sky, but he saved his own strength! As long as Xin Zan dies, won't this Jeju City be in his hands? It just so happened that the master Dong Guo Liang was beside him, and when he heard the report, he was suspicious in his heart. So he stepped forward and said: "This matter is too strange, yesterday the meeting was in the hall, and today the order was transmitted, but there was an accident in the middle of the night where the granddaughter died, how can it be such a coincidence?" It is clear that Xin Zan does not want to receive orders, so he does this false thing and hides it from everyone! ”

Lei Yuting listened to the master's words, was puzzled, thought to himself, and said: "There is indeed something strange! But it's hard to tell whether it's true or false now, but what should we do? That Xin Zan's plot is deep, not an idle person, at the moment he is in calamity and his life hangs in the Yellow Spring, how can he be forcibly recruited, so it is difficult? If it spreads, wouldn't it seem that the old man had fallen into the ground, and it would also damage the prestige of Qincha! ”

Dong Guo Liang shook his feather fan and replied: "That Xin Zan is scheming, and ordinary people are difficult to match. But I'd like to meet this awesome person for a while. Today, in the name of mourning, I will go to Naxin's house to take a trip and see if his funeral is true or false? Is he sick or not? Find out the truth and go back to the house to report. If it is true, then give some sympathy and condolences, and also give a name of generosity; If it is false, then he will plot again, and teach him to dig his own grave if the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Lei Yu listened and said: "Ziyu is really a clever plan! If Mr. Yulong goes in person, he will find out. Even if that Xin Zan has earth-shattering means, he can't escape the eyes of Mr.! Immediately according to the order, the text was not issued, and the investigation was made first, and then the arrangements were made.

As soon as noon passed that day, Dong Guo Liang taught people to prepare a sedan chair, bring sacrifices, and go to the idle fishing house. Approaching the Xin house, I have already heard the sorrow and joy of relatives, and many Xin praises the old sacrifices on the road and returned. When they arrived at the door, they saw the old butler with a few servants waiting for everyone. Dongguo Liang got off the sedan chair, so he showed his grief and walked forward. The old butler hurried in!

When I entered the Xin house, I saw a spiritual shed in the courtyard, and a group of maids and maids were crying in front of the young lady around the young lady, which was very miserable. Xin Wenyu saw Steward Zhang leading Dong Guo Liang in, so he stepped forward and said with a desolate expression: "Master is entangled in official business, why do you need to come in person?" The family suffered this misfortune, and Mr. Lao Fei came! Dongguo Liang said: "The prefect and Lord Xin are officials in the state capital together, and they have always admired Ling Zun, and when they heard the bad news, they felt sad. I wanted to go in person, but Qin sent a business inquiry, so he asked me to pay tribute on my behalf, and asked Haosheng to comfort Lord Xin, and take care of your body! ”

Dongguo Liang said that he would come to the incense paper, lay the sacrifice, and wanted to sacrifice in front of the spirit. Xin Wenyu grabbed the master and said: "The master can come, the little girl knows under the spring, and I am also grateful." It's just that she died early, and she is not yet an adult, how can she accept the hanging sacrifice in front of the adult's spirit, she can't do it, she can't do it, how can she mess up the number of respectful and humble rituals? ”

Nadong Guo Liang insisted on going to the spirit to pay homage, but he just said: "After Ling Qianjin is loyal and good, I will lead the next brother to be flesh and blood." When I hear misfortune today, if I lose my daughter, I don't support the coffin and mourn, how can I feel at ease? Everyone couldn't stop it, only to see Dong Guo Liang's tears in his eyes, holding the coffin and mourning: "Woohoo lament! Take pity on my niece, born wise, Qingshu Langui; Miss my niece, Hui Zhi Roujia, benevolent by nature; Mourn my niece, fate is ill-fated, and the sky is broken. Alack! I don't want to be in a hurry, but the medicine is useless, why not rush to the weak age? The nostalgia is deep, and the pain is unspeakable! ”

Everyone saw that the master burst into tears, so miserable, wondering why such sadness came from? The young lady was already sad, worried about the safety of the child, and when she heard the sad words of the master, she immediately cried to death. Nadong Guo Liang was crying, while stealing the expressions of the audience, seeing that the young lady looked sluggish, her face was sad, and she was crying heartbreakingly.

After Dongguo Liang finished his sacrifice, he got up and wept, looked around, and saw that all the funeral tools were complete, and everyone was sad, and the more they doubted. Then he said: "My niece died early, medicine is difficult to save, if the destiny is like this, manpower is difficult to do!" I hope that my brother and Mrs. will mourn and be sad! It happened suddenly, but it got a resting place? ”

"What a misfortune! I am not confused when I am near, I have no children under my knees, I only gave birth to a daughter, and I am still in infancy, but I am not sad when I am a father for the first time, and I will say goodbye to my flesh and blood? Xin Wenyu suppressed his sadness, hugged his master and said: "My father loves his little grandson and can't bear to be buried far away, and he also knows some feng shui, so he chooses the right side of the pond outside the house to bury him." The little girl is young, it is inconvenient to do a big job, and it is empty and sad! Just bury in these two days, so that you can be buried early! ”

Dong Guo Liang comforted him with good words, and went to comfort the old lady and the young woman, and saw that the old lady treated him with hatred on his face, and he was puzzled, thinking about it or there was an article. Then he said: "Lord Xin is often sick and old, but he can endure this grief? The prefect ordered me to say something to comfort, but I don't know if I can see each other? It's also good to send the prefect's kindness! ”

Xin Wenyu cried when he heard this, choked up and replied: "My father can't bear the pain of losing his grandson, the disease has recurred, and it is difficult to get up in bed now. The words were gone, the tears could not be stopped, and they almost stumbled and lost their ground, but everyone held on. Then he cried and said: "I am worried about the prefect, my father is seriously ill and his speech is slurred, and Mr. is kind and comforting, so he must be able to survive this life and death catastrophe!" After that, he led the master to see Xin Zan.

Let's say that Dong Guo Liang entered the door with Xin Wenyu, and saw Xin Zan bedridden, his face was yellow, his eyes were closed, and he was haggard. The two maids were waiting for the decoction, and they couldn't feed it repeatedly, and the corners of the medicine overflowed from their mouths, and they were wet and dirty. Xin Wenyu went to the bed and whispered: "Governor Lei sent Mr. Yulong to visit his father!" Zanshen pretended not to hear it, Xin Wenyu said loudly, Xin Zan muttered: "Who was cut in the house?" Xin Wenyu said again, Xin Zan didn't answer, only said: "It's so dark, why don't you hold the lamp?" ”

It was just after noon, and the room was bright. Dong Guo Liang approached the bed, held Xin Zan's hand, felt weak and powerless, and then looked at his person, like a gossamer. Nai was relieved: "People can't be resurrected after death, I hope you take care of your body!" Xin Zan didn't answer, but opened his tongue slightly, as if he had something to say. Xin Wenyu helped the master to get up, and said sadly: "My father is sick and confused, he doesn't argue anymore, he wakes up from time to time, he is pitiful and healthy all his life, but the old scene is so desolate!" ”

Dongguo Liang saw that Xin Zan was sick to the bone marrow and was difficult to treat. So after a few words of consolation, he went home. When I met the prefect, I talked about the past. Lei Yuting was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Those who are worried about Jeju are only Xin Zan'er!" I don't have to worry about it today! Dong Guo Liang replied: "I didn't expect that in ten days, this person would die!" That Xin Zan is also in line with the destiny of heaven and avoided the disaster of annihilation, but the ancestor is virtuous! The two of them were glad in their hearts, so they took wine and drank merrily.
