Chapter 136: Funeral

The situation in Jinling was transmitted back to Qing'an Town, and it was undoubtedly another bolt from the blue for the panicked Gu clansmen.

The patriarch was arrested, and the most promising young juniors in the clan fell into depour, although the case of embezzlement of ink and public grain was not found on their heads, but who knows if a large number of officials will rush into Qing'an Town in the next second?

What's more, this time, even the third princess, who represented the image of a kind elder in the past, couldn't escape...

The people in the clan who could still speak gathered in the patriarch Gu Rong's brother, that is, the clan elder Gu Yuan's house who had such a ridiculous thing as his daughter-in-law burning the New Year's painting door god, the flower hall that was demolished was full of people, but no one spoke, and everyone didn't know what to do with heavy faces.

And the most contradictory among them is Gu Yuan.

Back then, in the Gu family's house, he and Gu Rong were brothers, and they were also qualified to compete for the patriarch, but Gu Rong did things better than him and studied better than him, and finally the grain chief in the town fell to Gu Rong, although he was a brother from the same mother's womb, but Gu Yuan couldn't help but think about it all these years, he just came out a little late, why could Gu Rong become the patriarch, and he could only stand below and watch Gu Rongwu Yangwei?

So if Gu Rong is gone, this patriarch...

But now is obviously not the time to think about this, the case of trespassing is okay, anyway, those things in the house should be demolished and burned, and they are gone on the surface, now it depends on whether the government wants to investigate this absurd case to the end, if Gu Rongzhen is convicted of trespassing, then few people in the whole clan can run away.

This is fucking outrageous, a small grain chief in a township, just because there is an extra stone in the backyard pool, is going to rebel?

In contrast, the most serious case is the case of greed for public grain, Gu Rong's fraudulent account books have been copied over the years, and I don't know if Gu Rong has remembered the interests of the clan, but if he can't bear the trial, he confesses the clansmen...

The more Gu Yuan thought about it, the more confused he became.

The silence of the flower hall was interrupted by a burst of footsteps, Gu Huai walked in with two people, one was a black-faced man with five big and three thick, and a young man with a ruffian face, there was a burst of discussion among the clansmen, Gu Yuan probably didn't expect that at this point in time, Gu Huai actually came to the door, and he spoke:

"You... What are you here to do? ”

Gu Huai glanced at the situation in the hall with his hand, and said with a smile: "I don't do bad things in my life, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, how can I talk about things behind closed doors in broad daylight?" There are all the characters in the clan, how can they still act like thieves, what kind of bad things have they done? ”

A clan elder snorted coldly: "Fart! What can we do to be sorry? Get him out! ”

A few young and strong juniors stood up, but they didn't dare to step forward after being glared at by Wei Laosan, Dong Liangcai grinned and took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Gu Huai, Gu Huai's slender fingers flicked the corners, and he was chic and freehand:

"Now you should have the final say in the clan? There are some things you should look at. ”

Hearing that Gu Huai didn't even want to shout, Gu Yuan couldn't hold back his anger and took the paper and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"What do you mean?"

"It's simple, the crime on this, it's okay to carry it alone, it's okay for the whole clan to carry it together, your eldest brother is now in the mansion, if you want to bite it, none of you can run away, even if it's the account book of the clan..."

Gu Huai moved his nose, and the smoke and fire in the air were still very heavy: "... It's all burned, and that's enough for you to go to the execution ground. ”

Gu Yuan slumped back in his chair and trembled: "What do you want?" ”

"I don't have any kindness to you, in fact, I really want to see you being served in a pot," Gu Huai retracted his sleeve, "But some people in the clan are still innocent, such as widows who married in and lost their husbands and were excluded by you, such as children who have not grown up yet, such as clansmen who honestly farm and hope that the next generation can study well... So I'd like to talk to you about a deal. ”

He looked at Gu Yuan condescendingly: "Do you want to die one person, or the whole clan?" Do you want to go to the execution ground with Gu Rong, or... You're going to be the patriarch? ”

......

The two spiritual positions were placed upright on the incense table, on both sides were the sacrificial melons and fruits and incense candles, and in front of the incense case was a futon, Gu Huai lifted the front of the green shirt and knelt down gently.

The Gu clan people came in unison, surrounding both sides of the mourning hall, and the faces of several clan elders led by Gu Yuan were not very good-looking, but they all stood next to the two coffins.

Yes, two.

The trustee moved Gu Renli's coffin back to the south, plus Lin Sanniang, who moved back from the mass grave, Gu Huai's biological father and mother who are now in this body are finally together again after many years of separation.

Kowtowed three times, the masked tsundere Lori blinked, looked at the figure in the green shirt wearing filial piety clothes, and tied a white cloth on her head a little clumsily, and suddenly thought of the day her father left.

At that time, he was still young and didn't understand anything, so the third brother took his hand and stood in the rain and told himself that his father would never come back.

Her eyes turned red, and she walked behind Gu Huai with a gentle step, and stretched out her little hand to tie up the forehead band for him.

Gu Huai's hand paused, and then gently patted her Rouyi.

lost his mother at an early age, lost his father in middle age, lost his son in old age, and the three major sorrows in life, but I didn't expect this body to meet the first two.

The faces of the old guys in several clans turned purple, but under Gu Yuan's eyes, they still shouted obediently and lifted the two coffins.

This is what is supposed to be done by young people... What's more, they were also a member of the family who forced Gu Renli's family to leave the country with their own hands, and now they are actually carrying his coffin here, what a humiliating thing?

What's more, under the watchful eyes of the younger generations of the clan...

In the past, the elders of the high-ranking clan were only eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, but as Gu Yuan said, that little cub is not what it used to be, Gu Rong's family is finished, and the people in the clan can't afford to bury them.

The people of the Gu clan all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the two spirit cards on the incense case, the dark money was flying in the air, and the old Taoist man in a Taoist suit was obsessed with brushing the dust, and with a slight lift, he recited the scriptures of the past life in Taoism.

The chanting gradually merged into one, more than ten Taoists walked in front, with solemn expressions, Gu Huai wore linen and filial piety to support the coffin, his eyes swept slightly on Gu Yuan's body, and he saw green tendons blooming on his forehead, and shouted:

"Lift the coffin!"

Several men from the clan hurriedly went up to help, and together with a few clan elders, they lifted the two coffins, and the funeral procession walked out of the mourning hall and went to the feng shui treasure land that Gu Huai had chosen before.

But before that, the funeral procession had to walk around Qing'an Town.

Hundreds of people from the Gu clan formed a mighty team, and the people with foreign surnames in the town all looked at them with complicated eyes, no one spoke, and the people of the Gu clan lowered their heads in these eyes, and paid the price for the arrogance and arrogance in front of them.

That's all the deviant and bold juniors of the clan want them to do, and from today onwards, there will be no more his name on the genealogy.

His name is Gu Huai, but he is not Gu Huai of the Gu clan in Qing'an Town, if there will be another genealogy in the future, probably the hall name will have to be determined by him.

In the flying money, Tsundere Lori carefully held Gu Huai's hand to express comfort, Gu Huai smiled at her, and looked up at the lofty blue sky.

It's over, go all the way.
