Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 12 Luzhou Ghosts

In this way, Gan Feihong recognized Sun Yixie as his elder brother in a daze.

Of course, Sun Yixie is well versed in the ways of the world and knows how to stabilize people's hearts. At that time, he promised Gan Feihong some benefits-Sun Yixie said to Gan Feihong, as long as I see our eldest brother Hao Jingyu, I will definitely be there. In front of him, give Brother Gan a few good words, when the time comes, you will not only be able to enter the Tao, but no matter what, you will be ranked in the "Zhou" generation in the "Universe Primordial".

This cake painting made Gan Feihong so happy that he almost knelt down and gave Sun Ge a knock.

He never thought about it... Even if Sun Yixie is really Hao Jingyu's brother, he might not see Hao Jingyu in the next year and a half. Who knows what will happen after a year and a half?Maybe their gang of river thieves had already been wiped out by the court at that time.

But right now, Sun Yixie is really enjoying the treatment of a big brother.

This gang of river thieves is also really righteous. After paying homage to their elder brother, not only did they not rob Sun Yixie, but they also did not make a single move to the other passengers on the boat. They went back to their own boat and escorted their big boat to the other side all the way. Near the ferry, it dispersed.

After Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai went ashore, Gan Feihong also sent a few brothers in charge of tracking (water thieves usually put some sharp-eyed minions on the shore to look for targets in advance. like two second-generation ancestors would be targeted), specially sent two pieces of brown brocade to "Sun Ge"; this kind of brocade is the mark agreed between the water and land thieves on both sides of the Yangtze River, as long as this is tied on On your body, it means that you are one of your own, and colleagues along the road will not attack you when they see you.

With this heavy guarantee, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai's next part of the itinerary went smoothly. The two drove on horseback, circled Chaohu Lake in the north, and after another two days, they arrived at Luzhou City.

This place belongs to Luzhou Prefecture, Zhili, Nanjing, a thousand-year-old city with many scenic spots.

After staying in the inn, Huang Donglai suggested that it was a rare trip, and wanted to take a look at Xiaoyaojin by the way, but Sun Yixie didn't want to go, so he said he wanted to go to you.

Huang Donglai asked him, "Is it because your grandson's family was messed up by Zhang Wenyuan before, so you refused to go?"

Sun Yixie answered him: "Yes, I don't want to go to such a sad place."

But in fact, based on Sun Ge's understanding of the half-baked novel of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and his understanding of Chinese geography's upside-down style, he can neither remember the allusion of "Zhang Wenyuan is so powerful in Xiaoyaojin", nor does he know about Xiaoyaojin. Jin is in Hefei (that is, Luzhou), he just simply doesn't want to go.

So Huang Donglai decided to go for a walk alone, and stop by to ask the "high-speed rail gang" here if there are any suitable tickets for them.

After Huang Donglai left, Sun Yixie waited for a while, then locked the door, came to the bronze mirror in the room, and quietly took out a bottle of traumatic medicine.

Huang Donglai didn't know that the place on Sun Yixie's back that was cut by Ma Si before was not completely healed until today, and there was still a bruise that hadn't faded away.

Ma Si's saber skills in those ten years were indeed not practiced in vain. If he hadn't lived too comfortably in the cottage these years and had been slack in practicing kung fu, Sun Yixie would have broken a few of his saber at that time. No bones.

Fortunately, Sun Yixie's injury is not serious at the moment. When he used to fight with people in the fish market, he often organized or participated in large-scale fighting, so he has long been accustomed to this kind of injury.

In the past few days, Sun Yixie has been quietly administering medicine to himself in his room; Healing medicine was applied to him, and he could recover within three days at most, but he felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to beat a bandit leader while wearing a protective armor, so he never mentioned it.

But I still have to say that the battle of Zoumazhai was to some extent a lesson for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who were new to the rivers and lakes.

The two of them have almost zero experience in the world before. Sun Yixie needless to say, Huang Donglai also traveled all the way from Shuzhong to Jiangnan in the carriage of the high-speed rail gang. It was not until he met Shen Youran outside Hangzhou that he met someone for the first time. If you do it, you only deal with miscellaneous fish.

In their impressions, an existence like the "bandit leader" is not an opponent worthy of attention... However, Ma Si told them with his actions that in the arena you face anyone who seems to be not doing well. When facing opponents, you can't be careless.

After all, there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people—you never know if you will be beaten to death by a monk sweeping the floor or a waiter in a brothel one day.

…………

The words are divided into two parts, let's talk about Huang Donglai.

After leaving the inn, the first place he went was the pharmacy.A few days ago, when teaching the villagers in Nanyuan Village to prepare "poison bombs", although most of the materials used were from the medicine shop in the village, he still moved some of his own stock, or else he only used a small The materials in the village could not adjust the effective poison.Later, because he stayed in Xuancheng for too short a time, he didn't have time to make up for it.

Right now, when he arrived in Luzhou City, he was going to prepare some more herbs, and then go back to the inn at night to make more pills for emergencies.

After going to the pharmacy to place the order and leaving some fixed money, he greeted the shopkeeper of the pharmacy and asked them to prepare the things and come to pick them up in a few hours; then, Huang Donglai wandered off to Xiaoyao Tianjin.

This Xiaoyaojin was privately owned by a bureaucrat surnamed Dou more than 100 years ago, and it was renamed "Doujiachi". , fell into the hands of a rich man surnamed Zeng, and his mansion was built next to Xiaoyaojin, next to the forest and the water.

Of course, Huang Donglai didn't know about this. He thought the area around Xiaoyaojin was a park just like his previous world, but this time... was blocked by the courtyard wall.

Although he could get in casually by relying on his lightness kung fu, but in broad daylight, he didn't know whose land was inside the wall, so it would be trespassing if he went in directly; helplessly, he walked along the courtyard wall for a while, Want to see the situation.

Not long after, Huang Donglai arrived at the gate of the Zeng Mansion.

Coincidentally, at this time, in front of the gate of the Zeng Mansion, a group of people watching the excitement were gathered around, chattering and arguing a lot.

Huang Donglai squeezed through the crowd to look ahead, and saw several officials coming out of the gate carrying corpses wrapped in straw mats.

It stands to reason that this big family has died, so it shouldn't come out like this...

If someone dies in a wealthy family, they all have to cry first, then make a funeral, and report to the government; as for the dead body, first put it in the ancestral hall at home, and bury the body for at least three days (some anti-corrosion treatment will be done, especially in summer), and wait. Relatives and friends come to the funeral, and at the same time, they rush to find a coffin shop and a master who specializes in sewing shrouds to make wraps, and wait for three days to confirm that the person is completely dead (in ancient times, people who often suffered from shock were regarded as dead, and they woke up again during the burial. ), and then put the dead man in a shroud, put them in a coffin, and leave the funeral through the back door.

After the burial, when the eldest son or eldest grandson holds the memorial tablet and leads the mourning team back home to eat tofu rice, he has to take a different path from the one he went there, and at this time he must enter through the front door... and so on, there are very strict rules.

In those days, especially the big families, they were very particular about these things, and any mistake in etiquette would be very unlucky and disrespectful.

However, if a servant dies, it doesn't matter so much. Usually, the straw mats are wrapped up first, and they go out through the back door on the same day.If you meet a benevolent owner, I will send you to the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village. You can buy a cheap coffin for burial, and simply erect a monument; You wrap it in a straw mat and take it to the cemetery for a shallow burial... If you are unlucky with such a burial, you will be picked up by wild dogs that night and eat a dead body.

But today's battle is unusual.

First of all, the government came to collect the body, which means that there was a murder... That's another story.

Secondly, when the officials moved the corpse, they walked through the main entrance. Could it be that the local magistrate deliberately did not save face for Master Zeng?

Huang Donglai listened to the conversations of the villagers next to him, and realized that this should be impossible.

According to what these people said, the magistrate Wang here treats Mr. Zeng as his own father, not to mention how much benefits he gets from the Zeng family every year, just because Mr. Zeng's son-in-law is the Minister of the Court, It is also enough to make Mr. Wang grovel and obey.

So what's going on here?
When Huang Donglai was wondering, those messengers had already shouted to drive away the crowd of onlookers, and opened a path. Then, they carried the corpse wrapped in straw mats, and ran straight away from Zeng's mansion. I went to the Mingjiao Temple (also known as Mingjiaoyuan and Mingjiao Terrace) on the two streets.

"Old man, may I ask where this song came from?" Huang Donglai was a curious person, besides, he came here for a stroll today, and whenever he saw a play, he stopped an old man casually and asked.

"Young man, are you a stranger?" This kind of old man who stands here in broad daylight and has nothing to do to watch the excitement, actually hopes that someone will talk to him. When Huang Donglai asked, he responded with joy, "Oh... this matter Son, it’s evil.”

"Oh?" Huang Donglai also showed a more curious look as the other party wished, "What's the matter?"

"Let me tell you..." The uncle deliberately lowered his voice and said with a mysterious expression, "This is already the third one that has been carried out this month..." He looked around, as if it was true. As if someone wanted to eavesdrop on him, "...it is said that there are unclean things in this Zeng residence."

"Unclean things?" Huang Donglai frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "You mean..."

"Tsk, what else do I need to say?" The old man said in a deep voice, "It's just haunted."
