Chapter 510: Stop the official sedan chair
10 months later, in the bustling and lively capital of the Nether Eastern Earth Kingdom, the wife of Pei Weiguo, the first virtuous minister of the Son of Heaven, gave birth to a son named Pei Shien.
Needless to say, Pei Shien has been brilliant since he was a child, but the good thing is that he pities all kinds of living beings, has a kind attitude, and is usually compassionate and giving. It snowed heavily for a few days that winter, and the world was full of jade. Beauty is beautiful, but the birds outside are suffering, they are cold and hungry and have nowhere to rest.
As soon as the window of Pei Wei's state room was opened, two small birds flew in. His wife was about to shout and expel him, but Xiao Shi'en looked at it, shook his hand at his mother, and said Mom, don't drive away these two little birds, they are very pitiful, the weather is too cold, so they went into the window to keep warm, we must treat them well.
Pei Shien also quietly returned to the inner room to grab a handful of millet and sprinkle it on the windowsill, which was regarded as feeding the two birds. Mother saw it and praised, "Grace my son, you really have a bodhisattva heart, not bad, not bad."
Unconsciously more than ten years, Pei Shien is in the weak crown, in his prime, and the first champion, and soon by the imperial court, he does things to the world for the public, by the Son of Heaven, and at the age of 30, he will be the governor of the governor, known as the governor.
Once, Pei Shien was patrolling the case in Jiangnan, and set up a sedan chair to prepare a horse for a few days, and when he passed through Xinghua Village, the road was slippery in the rain and it was not easy to walk, so the entourage officials invited the governor to rest in the post house.
Pei Shien passed through many places for several days, and was relatively tired, and after staying at the Xinghua Village Post House, he fell asleep. He gradually fell into a dream, not thinking it was a dream, but vaguely heard the cry of a child. Pei Shien followed the prestige, and a boy crawled up in the canal under a stone arch bridge, with a mole on the tip of his nose, and he was drenched and screaming. Pei Shien stroked the official robe and was about to approach the boy. Suddenly the boy was gone, and the crying was gone.
For two nights in a row, I had the same dream. On the third day, the weather was clear, and the officials wanted to prepare a sedan chair for Pei Shien to go on the road, but unexpectedly, Pei Shien told everyone about his dream of a boy getting up from the canal under the arch bridge. He also said that there must be grievances in this. I'm going to get this case done before I leave.
At that moment, Pei Shien led the entourage officials around Xinghua Village on foot, and found that there was indeed a stone arch bridge at the west end of the village, which was the same as what he saw in his dream, but he didn't see the boy with a mole on the tip of his nose.
Pei Shien and his entourage officials visited the people of the village and asked about a woman with a headscarf. She turned her face, sobbed, and said nothing. A white-haired old man approached them and whispered, "When you look at you in official uniforms, you are not ordinary people, why are you doing such a simple thing, you can't see it?"
That woman is my cousin's daughter-in-law, half a month ago, her son Wu Yun drowned in the canal under the stone arch bridge, and the death was an only son, can you not be sad when you mention her son? Like poking at the sore spot in her heart, where is she still in the mood to speak?
Pei Shien said, I just asked, because of the rain these days, I rested at your Xinghua Village post house, and for three consecutive nights I dreamed of a boy with a mole on the tip of his nose getting up from the canal under the stone arch bridge and crying.
The white-haired old man said, "What's that?" Dreaming! Pei Shien stroked the green beard on his chin, and said cautiously, I think there must be a reason for this. Why did I dream of Wu Yun?
The white-haired old man frowned and said, what is the reason? Wu Yun, the child, was too naughty to play in the house, but he wanted to run to the stone arch bridge to play, and accidentally fell from the edge of the bridge to the canal a few meters deep.
An entourage official looked at Pei Shien and said, My lord, since this is the case, and it is not a case, what do you care about it? Let's go!
Suddenly, he heard the mooing of a calf in the east of the village, Pei Shien looked up, and a female ox who was grazing on the grass raised her head to see a calf jumping up and approaching it from there.
Pei Shien retracted his gaze and looked at a few entourage officials and said, so be it! I won't leave today if it's sunny, and I'll stay in the Xinghua Village Post House for one night, if I don't have this dream tonight, I'll get up in a sedan chair and go on the road tomorrow morning; If I still have the same dream, it means that there must be a grievance, and I must find out this grievance before leaving.
The white-haired old man smiled, what are your grievances? That's what I said, people have been dead for a long time. Pei Shien said, Uncle Wu, some things are not as simple as you think. He waved his hand at a few officials and said to go back to the post house.
The white-haired old man immediately rushed to his cousin's house and said what Pei Shien had said in his own tone. The cousin was quite surprised, and then said to himself, could it be that he was thrown under the arch bridge after being killed? The brother and daughter-in-law who stood aside said, "Our family has no enmity with anyone, which one will kill our son?"
The white-haired old man looked at his cousin and said, Wu Youfu, do you recall, have you offended anyone recently? Wu Youfu moved his eyes a few times and said, Brother Yougui, I haven't offended anyone recently. Wu Yougui asked again, have you offended people before? Wu Youfu said, he couldn't remember. Wu Yougui asked his brother-in-law again, Fennel, have you offended anyone recently or before? Fennel shook her head, unexpectedly shaking the flower turban wrapped around her head, and she raised her hand to tie it tightly.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that her mother's family had a fasting mother, known as Zhai's mother, who was a bit magical. When a person dies, his surviving relatives often talk to the deceased through the practice of Zhai Ma to learn about some unknown circumstances.
In fact, the so-called practice of Zhai Ma is to hold a flower towel and shake it in the air, recite a mantra in her mouth, possess her body with a spirit, and tell or be asked about some things that the living people in the yang world do not understand.
After that, Zhai's mother wrapped a flower towel around her head. Now Fennel is imitating the appearance of Zhai's mother, and she also wraps a flower towel around her head, and she also wants to have a little magical power. But no matter how long she wears this kind of headdress, or even if it becomes a habit, she doesn't have any magical powers.
So, Fennel said to her husband, "Youfu, I have a way, you come with me to my mother's house, find my mother to summon my son's soul to possess him, and tell him the reason for his death, whether someone else secretly killed him, or whether he accidentally fell into the ditch under the arch bridge and drowned."
If someone else secretly killed him, it would be a real unjust case; If not, we will give up, and we don't care which governor he has any dreams, and we don't care if the city is full of wind and rain.
Wu Youfu said, then let's go now! Wu Yougui also said, you should hurry up, if Governor Pei leaves tomorrow, even if you ask Zhai's mother to find out the cause of the child's death with grievances, it is very troublesome to appeal to the local government, it is better to strike while Governor Pei has not left Xinghua Village, while the iron is hot, beg him to accept the case, and arrest the murderer of the child, so as to comfort the soul of the deceased.
The couple thought that Wu Yougui was right, and they went out of Xinghua Village that day to find Zhai's mother, and hurried back in the evening.
Because Pei Shien stayed in the Xinghua Village Post House all night without having the same terrifying dream, early in the morning, he sat in the official sedan chair and was about to leave with his entourage.
Suddenly, a couple stopped the official sedan chair head-on and shouted loudly, Lord Governor, my son died unjustly! Please stay and be the master of the grass people......
