CH.210 The Coffin Bearer

Before Mu Ting climbed over the wall and entered the Zhou family, he heard that the Zhou family seemed to be doing a funeral.

It's a coincidence that it happened to be at the funeral of last week's family.

The Zhou family was pale and chaotic, Mu Ting took advantage of the chaos to stun a subordinate in filial piety clothes who was about the same size as him, and after hiding the person, he peeled off the person's filial piety clothes and put them on himself. As soon as he came out of his hiding place, he heard a steward shouting, "Hurry up, come and help." ”

It turned out to carry Zhou Xu's coffin out.

Someone next to him scolded Mu Ting: "The hands and feet are not sharp, and the work is smarter, hurry up to the front and lift it." ”

Mu Ting walked a few steps quickly, and looked at the coffin by the way, this coffin looked very large, as if it could lie down two people.

The Zhou family really dotes on Zhou Xu, and even bought the coffin too big to say.

There are eighteen people carrying the coffin today.

Mu Ting was placed in the second position on the left side of the front, and in front of him was a muscular man about his size.

The man glanced back at him, winked at him, and asked in a low voice, "Where did the little brother work?" ”

"I haven't done it yet, but this is the first time." Mu Ting said.

The man nodded: "It seems that the little brother has a hard time, so he has no choice but to do this." Then you can follow closely, in the business of carrying the coffin, you must know how to use skill, not brute force. What's more, in this coffin today, there are two people lying there. ”

No wonder this coffin is so big! The Zhou family finally matched Zhou Xu with a yin marriage.

Thinking of what happened to Mrs. Qin a few times ago, Mu Ting suddenly regretted a little, why didn't he go to the Qin family's restaurant before coming to Zhou's house to see if Mrs. Qin was okay. But she has escaped a few times, and now he knows that she is Nangong Wenyue's person, so she should not be arrested by the Zhou family again to marry her, right?

He resisted the idea of opening the coffin to find out, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that I would encounter this incident as soon as I carried the coffin this time." I've only heard of it before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. ”

The man didn't think so: "This foolish brother has seen too much." Brother Fool doesn't know how many coffins he has carried all year round, and there have been several times in Beijing this year alone. This little lady and Xiao Langjun are not in good health and died early, the parents pity them and let them be companions below, so that parents can live with peace of mind. ”

He served: "Take them as an example, this Tuesday Langjun has been sick since he was a child, and his wife Ding Niangzi suffers from heart disease, which can be regarded as a natural pair of medicine jars." ”

Ding Niangzi! Ding Niangzi who suffers from heart disease!

Mu Ting's heart jumped, and he suppressed his voice and asked curiously: "This Ding Niangzi, but is the eldest granddaughter of the Ding Taishi Ling family?" ”

"Oh, little brother, you know a lot." The man was surprised, "I just heard about it." But don't make a noise about the little brother, this week's family doesn't like others to publicize this. ”

It's also too coincidental.

Mu Ting heard the man say again: "What else does the little brother know, the foolish brother is willing to pay two dollars to buy the news that the little brother knows." ”

Mu Ting: "? "He pretended to be someone to carry a coffin, and someone else wanted to buy news from him? Besides, he just said that the Zhou family doesn't like others to publicize this matter.

The man laughed, not embarrassed at all: "Don't hide it from the little brother, there are several children in the foolish brother's family, and he is very short of money, so there is more work to do at the same time...... But little brother, please rest assured, the foolish brother said that two pieces of money are two pieces of money, and he will never break his word. ”

"The hour has come! Lift the coffin! ”

Someone shouted, and suddenly the cry shook the sky, drowning out the man's speech.

Mu Ting was finally able to look around, but he didn't see Zhou Linguang, only saw Zhou Xu's mother fainting from crying, and the scene was suddenly panicked again.

The man took the opportunity to say: "The Zhou family is quite generous, we just need to carry the coffin onto the ox cart outside, follow it to the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family, and then carry the coffin for a distance." You don't have to travel a long distance, but the money is the same. ”

Mu Ting nodded haphazardly, indicating that he understood.

After successfully lifting the coffin onto the ox cart parked outside, Mu Ting and the man, together with the chaotic cry, walked to the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family about more than ten miles outside the city, and placed the huge coffin. ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Da's face: "Thank you for being in charge." ”

He shouted loudly: "Brothers, come to my house tonight to receive money, don't forget!" ”

Mu Ting's eyebrows raised suddenly, this big one is actually the leader of the coffin bearer!

Then he also pretended to be the coffin bearer...... Mu Ting couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

Zhang Da pulled him to walk a few steps, and he didn't avoid people, so he said in the noisy crowd: "Little brother, the foolish brother is very kind when he sees you, although the foolish brother doesn't know why you want to pretend to be Chang San to carry the coffin, but there must be a reason." Foolish brother asks you more, Chang Sanke is still alive? ”

The corners of Mu Ting's mouth twitched: "He is still alive, but he is still in the Zhou family now." ”

"Since you're still alive, it doesn't matter." Zhang Da smiled, "Today, the little brother will go to the foolish brother's house to have a glass of wine." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Mu Ting really wanted to go. This one is really interesting. By carrying the coffin, he usually dug up a lot of secrets from the master's house.

Zhang's family is in the alley near the city gate, which is actually a second-entry house.

On the road, Zhang Da sold two catties of wine, and cut two catties of braised pork in the restaurant, and did not blink an eye when he met the account.

Seeing Mu Ting silently, Zhang Da went out of the door, and then said to him: "Don't hide it from the little brother, the foolish brother usually does what he does, and he still earns a lot of money." ”

In the Zhang family, the Zhang family still has rough subordinates.

The next person went to warm the wine, and then prepared some side dishes to accompany the wine, Zhang Da led Mu Ting to sit in the flower hall, and said straight to the point: "If the little brother has anything you want to inquire, just ask." The foolish brother and the little brother hit it off at first sight, and the foolish brother will give the little brother less money with these news. ”

Zhang Dake is really a solid businessman.

Mu Ting smiled and said, "I want to know how the Zhou family and the Ding family got married this week." ”

Before the case of Mrs. Ding has been clarified, Mrs. Ding has already been married and buried in the ancestral grave of the Zhou family.

Zhang Dahaha laughed: "Little brother inquired about this news that everyone knows, but it's not interesting." This week, the second Langjun of the family died, and the eldest lady of the Ding family also died, the two happened to be a pair, why not? ”

"Then do you know that Mrs. Ding's death is unknown, and the government is investigating the real cause of her death." Mu Ting looked at Zhang Da tightly.

Zhang Da's expression became solemn: "The little brother is from the government, right?" It's just that people in the government have to pay for coming to me to inquire about the news. ”

Mu Ting took out a silver ticket of two hundred yuan from his arms: "That's nature." ”

Zhang Da really saw that Qian's eyes were open, and his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Brother Xian, don't you save it, that Zhou Linguang, who is the father of Erlangjun of the Zhou family, has some means." His son has been dead for a long time, and he can't find a little lady who is worthy of a yin marriage. He sent someone to Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion to inquire, no, he hit it off with the Ding family and got married. ”

"Also, Kaifeng Mansion has closed the case of Mrs. Ding, saying that Mrs. Ding died of heart disease, and there is nothing to doubt about it."

Mu Ting was still staring at him closely: "The death of Mrs. Ding really has nothing to do with Luo Dalangjun and Zhou Linguang?" ”
