Chapter 21: The Aftermath

Fang Ming returned to the intersection and listened to the Yin soldiers' warnings, knowing that no one was going out, after all, it was a rainstorm day, who would go out now?

Not long after, Wang Liulang also came to restore his life, Fang Ming was overjoyed, looked back at Qingxi Township, and said: "Soon after, I will move here......

This is the ancestral hall has accumulated many years of incense wish power swept away, the township just wants to build an altar, but also have to start from scratch, a lot of effort, and the altar is newly erected, how much luck can be sheltered, Zhang Huaizheng has been extinguished, and for a time can not find the ancestral spirit to worship.

The lonely souls and wild ghosts around the township got the opportunity, they must have made some moves, Fang Ming will take the Yin soldiers back to the villages, then the township will immediately be a group of demons dancing wildly, will there be any other way to go except to worship the land god?

The subordinates didn't know what they meant for a while, but they still congratulated: "Congratulations to the lord!"

Fang Ming looked at his subordinates' respectful appearance, and thought of this trip smoothly, the county's reaction was also prepared, for a while, his heart was happy, looking into the distance, muttering to himself, "It's just a little wind and rain!"

In the ancestral hall, Zhang San didn't know anything about the major events of his life, the rainstorm was pouring, naturally no one would come to worship, he also stole half a day of leisure, bought some wine and dishes, and went to his house to drink alone, not long after, he was drunk, and he fell asleep when he touched the bedside.

The moment the village was broken, he also felt flustered, but the wine was up, and before he was sober, he lay down for a while, waiting to kill Zhang Qingyun, but Zhang San often worshipped, and the thoughts were sympathetic, at this time, his heart was like numbness, he couldn't lie down anymore, he didn't wear clothes, and came to the main house half-barechested.

This look, like a basin of cold water poured from the head, cold sweat straight down, no sense of wine, only to see the middle of the table, Zhang Qingyun's god card, has cracked most of it, as soon as he came in, with a gust of wind, the tablet, just like that, completely dispersed, fell to the ground.

Zhang San's legs were weak at this time, he had been taking care of the ancestral hall for many years, and he knew what it meant, he stayed for a long time, and finally jumped up, ignoring the heavy rain outside, stumbling towards Zhang's house, and said straight in his mouth: "Woe to you, woe to ......"

When I arrived at Zhang's house, it was also a mess, and many people did not use rain gear, and went in and out at the gate, with a look of urgency. He reported his intentions, waited for a long time, and still didn't respond, and finally grabbed a familiar guy and asked, "I have something important and ask to see the master, why haven't you responded for so long?"

The little guy wiped a handful of rainwater, and when he saw that it was Zhang San, who was familiar with him, he whispered: "What else do you want to see?

"Ah!" Zhang San was shocked, he had only seen the master a few days ago, why was it so gone.

The little guy looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and said: "I heard that it was a sudden illness, and I collapsed in the study on the spot, and I ran out of breath......

Zhang San was in a trance for a while, but still said: "Then who is in charge? I want to see Madame!"

The little guy was suspicious for a while, this situation, and asked to see, there must be something big, so he said: "Who else, Steward Zhang! It's you, what's the matter, tell me, I'll report it for you, if it's a trivial matter, then go back as soon as possible, the house is in a mess, who will care about you?"

Zhang San couldn't, and whispered something in the ear of the little guy, but the little guy didn't hear it clearly at first, and said, "What's the ...... Be louder, it's raining so hard!"

After saying it twice, he finally heard it clearly, and the little guy's face became snow-white, this was not what he had just pretended to show others, but the fear in his heart, and he said tremblingly: "Don't lie to me, this is ...... But...... Woe to you!"

Zhang San's face turned pale and said, "Who will pick this time to entertain you?

The little servant replied reluctantly and walked towards the house.

At this time, Zhang Huaizheng's bedroom was also in a mess, the eldest woman Zhang was holding two young children, crying into tears, and several concubines around him also gathered in a circle, crying and crying. Steward Zhang was busy with the matter at hand at this time, and when he looked at Zhang like this, he suddenly felt that his head was big.

But he still said: "Madame, please take care of your body, there are thousands of things inside and outside here, and Madame still needs to preside over them! Especially the young master and young lady, they still need to be taken care of by Madame!"

Zhang and Zhang Huaizheng have been married since childhood, although they can't raise their eyebrows after getting married, but they are also considered to be harmonious husband and wife, and have some true feelings, so they cried sadly, and then heard this, looked at the child in their arms, also shed tears, panicked, and calmed down, stopped crying, and comfortedly: "Child, don't be afraid, there is a mother!"

With the heart qi, the body straightened up, recovered a little color, and swept his eyes, especially on the little concubine with the boy, and saw that the little concubine's body shook and cried even louder.

Zhang said: "You are here to accompany the master first, Steward Zhang, follow me to the side hall!" He picked up the two children and came to the side hall with Steward Zhang. He asked, "What are the charters now?"

Steward Zhang looked at Mrs. Restoring a little bit of the majesty of the past, and his heart was also happy, and he was stimulated by the young master, and sure enough, Mrs. regained her strength, so she said: "Madam, at this time, you still have to bury the old man first, and then go to buy longevity materials, open a mourning hall, send someone to report the funeral, wait for the big sacrifice, and then choose a good cemetery and choose a time for burial." ”

Zhang's face flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "The old man has always been healthy and has never had any physical illness, you also know this, but now you are going to be so strange, but you advocate doing everything you can to be buried, what is your intention?"

Steward Zhang knelt down suddenly, his forehead was bruised, and said: "Madam! The old slave also knows that the old man is going strangely, I am afraid that someone is not assassinating, but now there is no real suspect, if it is sued to the county government, Madame can tell what the consequences will be......"

Without waiting for Mrs. to ask, he continued: "The county came down to investigate, if the current master is assassinated, then the most likely murderer is still someone from Zhangfu, and then he will have to take a few people to prison, even Mrs. Young Master, there is also suspicion!"

Seeing the lady sneering, he said again: "Of course, it must not be the lady and the young master who did it, but even if the county doesn't take people to prison, it has to pass the hall, and once it passes, everything has to be taken care of, if the master is here, it's okay, but the master is not there, and there are some connections in the county, and it is not very useful, but the Zhang family has been taken care of by the master for many years, and no one in the county is red?"

Speaking of this, the Zhang family was thoughtful, and the voice of the housekeeper Zhang seemed to carry a cold air: "The lord has also formed some grudges over the years, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take advantage of the fact that the Zhang family only has orphans and widows, in case he encounters the county order with a black heart, and sentences the Zhang family to murder the head of the family, and takes the opportunity to confiscate the family property, it will be a broken family! Although the county order Wei Zhun has a good reputation, it is necessary to prevent ......."

Steward Zhang said: "So, this matter, you can't report it to the official, you must privately invite someone to come to check, the old slave vows, I will find out the original situation and avenge the master!"

Zhang pondered for a while, then his voice softened, and he said, "I blamed you before, get up!"

Steward Zhang thanked him, stood up, and said: "In addition to this matter at present, there is one more important matter, that is, the position of the master! This is the foundation of the Zhang family." ”

Zhang was taken aback and asked, "Isn't this Yun'er?

Steward Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "The young master is only eleven years old, according to the ancient rites, he is also fifteen years old, and there are still four years left.

Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you go to the county to dredge up, make more money, let Yun'er succeed to the throne, it's a big deal, I'll take care of him first!"

Steward Zhang smiled more bitterly, and said: "Although Li Zheng is only a secretary, he is also in charge of a township, and the relationship is important, if it weren't for Taizu's fear that the official would be too high, the county would not be able to control it, and he would have to rise again." With such an important position, how could it be possible for the current young master to be in charge, not afraid of the previous incident in the history of the He family? As for the lady in charge, to put it disrespectfully, this is not the throne, and there is no rule of the queen mother's regent......"

Zhang was taken aback, knowing that he was Meng Lang, so he said, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Steward Zhang lowered his head and thought about it, and when he looked up again, he had an idea: "I still have to make the silver, but I don't ask the young master to succeed to the throne, but to have a promise, Xinli is just in charge, and when the young master reaches adulthood, he will return it to the young master, and it is best to make a document for this matter." ”

Of course, eating the meat in the mouth, and wanting others to spit it out again, the Zhang family and the housekeeper didn't have this mind, but with this commitment, they have fame and righteousness, and they will fight for this position in the future, and they will be justified and have a lot less trouble.

Zhang nodded, suddenly feeling a little tired, but still strong his spirit, and said, "What you said is good, just do it......"

Before I could say anything, I saw a little guy come in half-rolling and half-crawling, and he said, "Woe to you, woe to you......"

Steward Zhang frowned, and wanted to drive him out, not wanting the little maid to see Mrs. and the housekeeper, so he stepped forward suddenly, knelt on the ground, and stumbled and said, "Madam, no...... Oh no, woe ...... It's ...... thing" Steward Zhang stepped forward and kicked him, scolding: "What is more important than the master's thing?

The little maid took a beating, and his words were sharp, but he still had a pale face, and said: "Madam, housekeeper, Zhang San, who is in charge of the ancestral hall, came to report that it was the ancestor Zhang Qingyun's god card that was broken for no reason, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid it's a big deal......"

"What?" Zhang was startled, almost feeling dizzy, and rubbed his middle hard, so he had the strength to say, "You...... Say it again......"

The little guy kowtowed and said, "Ancestor Zhang Qingyun's god card...... Gone...... Zhang San is outside, Madame can go and ask him!"

"I, I'm going to see it myself......" Zhang Shiqiang stood up, and the housekeeper who was already stunned on the side also came to his senses, and quickly called a few maids to help, and sent someone to hold an umbrella, and when he arrived at the gate, Zhang San knelt down and cried and reported: "Yesterday was still good, who knew that I went to see it just now, and I ...... and it was broken. ”

Zhang didn't bother to listen at this time, he was helped to come to the ancestral hall with Steward Zhang, and entered the main house, only to see that the god card in the middle was shattered, and suddenly his eyes were black and he fainted.
