Chapter 161: Housework
Qi Jingzhi's voice fell, but the old servant of the Cui family did not answer immediately.
He raised his head slightly, glanced at Cui Zitao first, and saw that his young master did not object, so he lowered his eyes again, turned his body to Qi Jingzhi, and owed slightly.
Compared with the reply to Cui Zitao just now, this time the old servant of the Cui family was very cherished like gold, and only said four words softly: "I don't know."
"Oh?"
Qi Jingzhi looked at the old servant, nodded thoughtfully, and then glanced at Wei Bao, both of them saw the doubts in the other party's eyes, after all, only the two of them knew that the significance of this Baiyun Palace to the Golden Sword Wei Clan was really quite unusual.
Cui Zitao didn't doubt him, and immediately turned his head to look at Wei Bao and said, "It's still a few adults who are thoughtful, there are so many remains of the Wei clan, if they stop at home, how can you take care of them alone?" Not only is it easy to make mistakes, but it will also make the neighbors uneasy, after all...... Your relatives and relatives are all dying."
"Looking at the city, only the back garden of Baiyun Palace is large and clean enough, and it is a place where the gods are blessed. By the way, I heard that Duke Wei has to offer a large sum of sesame oil to Baiyun Palace every year, and now that the Wei family is going to hold a funeral, the Baiyun Palace will definitely do their best."
These words sound extremely reasonable, even if it is just for the corpses of the clansmen not to be disturbed by snakes, insects, rats, ants, thieves, bandits, and even evil things, they can't let them continue to lie at home like this, not to mention that the Stopping Spirit Baiyun Palace is the order of the big people in the county, and the Wei clan, who has only one person left, actually has no confidence and room to refuse.
So Wei Bao paid the money, and the Changle County Ya came forward to call the bars and people who were doing the business of carrying and burying in the county town.
The officials guarding the entrance of the Wei family's alley shouted a few times, and after a little screening, they also let the relatives and neighbors of the Wei family inside.
When the dead were collected, because the incident was too hasty, except for a few elderly Wei family members who ordered coffins early, even if Wei Bao collected the inventory of coffin shops all over the city, it was still a lot worse, and many Wei family members and servants with lower status could only be placed on the temporarily unloaded door panel, wrapped tightly in the bedding and clothes before their death, and hurriedly carried out, looking at it desolate and shabby.
After working for most of the day, the huge corpse carrying team finally set off.
On the road from Weijia Lane to Baiyun Palace, there are crowds of people on both sides of the street, and the spectators are blocked, and there are many people who exclaim and laugh and point at the beginning, but as the coffin and the door panel pass in front of them, as if there is no end, the spectators gradually fall silent, and finally fall silent.
By the time all the dead were placed in the largest garden in the backyard of the White Cloud Palace, the sky was already dark.
In this process, Wei Bao was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
He first gathered his relatives and neighbors, suppressed the strange thoughts of these people with a red gold knife, and then counted and identified the remains of the deceased, assigned the coffin door panel, and commanded the people in the bar room to carry them, and closed the doors of the Wei family houses one by one, asked Tori Zhengfu to take care of them, and had to patrol back and forth along the way, hand over to the prison personnel of Baiyun Palace, and finally settle the money one by one, and thank the people of Changle County and the people who should be busy before and after.
Qi Jingzhi has been following the bodies of the dead people of the Wei family, and then he sits in the back garden of Baiyun Palace in the name of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, and does not allow idle people to approach.
Until dusk, Wei Bao still did not return, and the figures in the back garden gradually thinned, and in the end, only he and Bannu were left.
What made Qi Jingzhi quite strange was that seeing that a day had passed, the Jiuzhen County Demon Commander's Office had never sent anyone to come from beginning to end.
Not only that, but the Anfeng Marquis Mansion, the county guard yamen, and the county army all commanded the yamen, and they also did not move, and they didn't know whether they really didn't care, or if they had other plans.
Qi Jingzhi looked around, but saw that under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, the residual red sky light fell on more than a hundred coffins and door panels, and the bleak evening breeze blew, rolling down the fallen leaves, and his heart was suddenly infinitely desolate.
On the way to Liaozhou, the young man had imagined the appearance of Baiyun Palace in Jiuzhen County more than once, and imagined the appearance of the dragon claw locust with tree holes, but he never imagined that he really arrived here, and what he saw in front of him was such a scene.
In the indescribable silence, someone stepped on the fallen leaves, walking unhurriedly and slowly, making a rhythmic rustling sound
。
The young swordsman who was sitting on Bannu's body stared, followed the sound to look at the old man who was walking towards him, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "It's so late, the old man didn't return to the government with Cui County's order, but he came here alone at this time, I don't know what advice?"
The old servant of the Cui family stopped when he heard this, still following the rules as when he first saw him, but the seemingly humble actions revealed the arrogance buried deep in his bones.
He lowered his eyes, didn't look at the dead people of the Wei family who were all over the garden, nor did he look at Qi Jingzhi, he bowed slightly to the young man, and said indifferently: "Qi Zhishi, you peep at my young master for no reason today, this move is very rude! If the old man doesn't come to ask for an explanation, won't he let outsiders think that I have no one in the Cui family?"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's face was not different, as early as when he was in the Wei family, he could see that this old servant of the Cui family had cultivation, but he didn't know if the peeping in the other party's mouth referred to the time when the silver blood flame was used, or the time when he observed the wind and color later?
He smiled freely, clasped his fist at this very loyal old servant, and said bluntly: "Cui Xian Ling is entangled with evil things around him, Qi was surprised for a while, so he looked at it twice, and I hope the old man will not blame him!"
Hearing this, the old servant of the Cui family finally couldn't help but raise his head, and looked at Qi Jing with surprise, as if he didn't think that the young man in front of him was qualified to be looked at by him until this moment.
Qi Jingzhi was also surprised, just because he saw that the old servant of the Cui family was not surprised that his young master had been evil, but that Qi Jingzhi was able to see through this matter at a glance.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Qi Jing's heart immediately gave birth to vigilance, and slowly stood up. z.br>
Who knew that the look of surprise on the face of the old servant of the Cui family was fleeting, and almost in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous arrogance and indifference, he was not anxious and worried because the master's family had suffered evil, and it was not at all like the harm to the master's family was exposed, and he was not annoyed and angry, let alone rioting and killing people.
I saw that this old servant of the Cui family seemed to have considered the language, and then said slowly word by word: "I didn't expect that Qi Zhishi is not very old, but his pair of tricks are very vicious! It's just that the old decay has a word of persuasion......
"Like the so-called big clans like the Golden Dao Wei Clan, who suddenly rose and fell, Qi Ji is willing to stir up a thing or two in it, and no one really cares. I, Cui, am not those small families who are kneaded by others, just a little housework, and I don't need outsiders to put their beaks!"
"Housework?"
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning, he always felt that the other party was so light, and it shouldn't be the same thing as what he said.
"Not bad! It is good to teach Qi to know that the Holy King of Jiuhe has a son-in-law, Ding Gong, who is the ancestor of the Jiang surname Ding, and Ding Gong has a son-in-law, so that the head of the family is located in his younger brother and opens his own line, so he becomes the ancestor of the Jiang surname Cui. My Cui family has a long history, and I have always been close to An Fenghou, and family affairs are by no means something that anyone can mix casually!"
This is more and more the meaning of chickens and ducks, and Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt ridiculous.
The old servant in front of him opened his mouth and closed his mouth, but he would only use the name of Ding's An Fenghou to oppress people, which shows that the Cui family has no prominent figures now.
For such an old guy who lives with the glory of his ancestors, especially a servant who is just a fox and a fake tiger, the young man is really a little disdainful.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps at the gate of the garden, but it was a tired Wei Leopard who came wearing the stars and the moon.
"That's all the old man's words, and I hope that Qi will do things for himself."
The old servant of the Cui family put down this sentence lightly, and then retreated respectfully.
When he and Wei Bao staggered by, although he also owed a debt, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
Wei Bao glanced at the old servant a little strangely, and then saluted Qi Jingzhi with his fists in his fist: "There is Lao Engong today!"
Qi Jingzhi shook his head, and didn't ask how the tall and thin young man handled the many trivial matters outside, but just sighed: "When I first fell into a dream with Wei Gong, there was a Baiyun Temple in that dream, and the master of the temple was born with a tiger's appearance, and even the little Taoist priest in the temple was also a tiger's head."
"Today, I passed in front of the palace and saw that the god of Siqiu was a tiger-faced human body, white-haired tiger claws, and a long snake wrapped around his body, holding a bronze sword, and I realized that the white cloud temple in my dream that was born from Wei Gong's thoughts was not only derived from a snake and a tiger on the red gold knife, but also this white cloud
The palace is also quite related. Presumably, over the years, Duke Wei has been pondering the way of the Autumn God's golden punishment in that immortal's mouth."
Regarding the dream in the pillow, Qi Jingzhi said vaguely, and Wei Bao seemed to understand it, just as he wanted to be like Wei Gong, and he would start from this aspect in the future.
So this second-generation Golden Dao Wei nodded and said, "I once heard my uncle say that looking at Daqi, there are the largest number of Baiyun Palaces belonging to the six states of the East China Sea, and among the six states, there are the most Liaozhou. Among them, the Baiyun Palace of Jiuzhen County is the largest among the counties of Liaozhou, and even the one in the state city can't be compared, so there must be some doorways."
When Qi Jingzhi heard this, he secretly said in his heart.
The purpose of "the Holy King to teach with Shinto" in the mouth of Meng Fuzi is not only to educate the hearts of the people of the world, but also to tame the wildness of the earth with the hearts of the people of the world.
It follows from this that the so-called eight gods should all have similar functions, and they are not holy, but only in the hearts of men.
Perhaps because of this, these gods don't even have a name, because they don't need to.
The Holy King of Wucheng enshrined the god of the Eight Lords, not to offer the high gods with the thoughts of the people, but to gather the power of the people to subdue the wildness of the earth and let the holy ginger law take deep root.
"Well, the only exception is the soldier master Chiyou, this god lord who is the same as the Yan Emperor is a bull-headed human body, and he is afraid that there are other mysteries on his body."
Wei Bao saw that the young man did not speak, so he continued: "If it is late today, and Engong has been tired for two days and one night without closing his eyes, please go to eat and rest quickly. I greeted the prison of Baiyun Palace, and I have prepared a guest house and wine and food for Engong."
Qi Jingzhi shook his head and smiled: "Since you are here, I just have something to go out, and I will use the wine and food when I come back."
Wei Bao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said decisively: "If Engong has something, he can order Wei Bao to do it, although the Wei family is only one person now, he is willing to serve the dead!"
"It's not a big deal, but I didn't expect that I would be thousands of miles away from home and meet a former enemy here!"
Seeing Wei Bao's sudden change of color, Qi Jingzhi waved his hand again: "I just feel like it, but I can't be completely sure." I'll go and take a look, and you don't have to pay attention to it, just be in peace here."
As he spoke, he stepped onto Madano's back.
A man and a beast did not take the main gate of the garden, but ran directly towards the courtyard wall on one side.
Wei Bao looked stunned, and saw Bannu struggling to jump up under the wall, stepping on one of his four paws, grabbing a large piece of wall skin, and at the same time, his fat body rose violently again, and he was about to rise above the wall.
Immediately after, Wei Bao only felt that in front of him, the man and the beast suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, he immediately remembered the elusive ability of Lien Gong during the day, and the anxious look on his face disappeared mostly, and he turned to look at the clansmen who were separated by all living beings, and couldn't help but sigh.
But it was said that Qi Jingzhi came out of the Baiyun Palace, holding Bannu's neck with one hand and holding the silver candlestick with the other, and ran wildly on the street.
The street was deserted, few shops were still open, and there were few pedestrians in sight, it seemed that the more than 100 corpses of the Golden Dao Wei family really frightened the people in Jiuzhen County.
When passing by the City God Temple, Qi Jingzhi hurriedly glanced at it, but saw that the temple was dark and gloomy, and there was no light in the wall.
Even if he held high the blood flame, stepped on the netherworld, and rushed past the temple gate, no ghosts and gods appeared to stop him.
Qi Jingzhi shook his head secretly, and he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.
Now that the red gold knife has been returned, the Wei family's bloody case has no clue, so it is important to go and see their enemies first.
After a short time, he drove Bannu to a government office, and the plaque in front of the door clearly read: "Changle County Ya."
One man and one beast quickly went around the back street, Bannu went to lie under the wall of the back office, Qi Jingzhi climbed up the wall, looked around, and had already seen a place where the lights were on.
In a small courtyard that is not too big, Cui Zitao looked slightly tired, sitting in front of the stone table under the moon, with a few kinds of wine and food in front of him.
A good-looking woman sat down at the bottom, holding a jug of wine to pour it for him
Wine.
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
On the other side of the woman sat a child of seven or eight years old, but he did not look at the two men, but only stuffed his mouth with food.
Qi Jingzhi squatted on the wall, taking this scene in his eyes, and then his eyes only swirled on the child.
Through the silver blood flame, he saw very clearly, there was a young boy in Tsing Yi sitting with his eyes closed in the child's body, although his facial features and body shape looked like a human, but his whole body was green and evil.
Every time the child stuffs food into his mouth, the little boy in Tsing Yi will raise his head and open his mouth wide to chew.
After looking at it quietly for a moment, Qi Jingzhi suddenly grinned: "This is really a narrow road!"
He paused, and then spat out again, "It's really a very troublesome housework!"
