Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 26

It was a cold night.

Su Rao guarded the two coffins until the dawn of the long night, when the lamps and candles were burned out, she stood up and was going to the Li family to find some strong servants to take the coffins out of the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the scene in front of him.

"you……"

Dozens of figures were blocking the entrance of the alley, and when they saw her, they took the initiative to greet her, and the leader was the steward of the Li family's outer courtyard, who raised his hand to her and said, "Miss Su, we are here to send Madam and Mr Su off for the last time. "

There were servants and maidservants who came, all of whom were familiar faces, each carrying paper money and joss sticks, and they were all well-prepared.

"Madam always said that she has no relatives in this county, and she is afraid that no one will collect her body in the future. We servants can't be like girls and seek justice for her, but we can still send her all the way. It is the fulfillment of this master-servant friendship."

"I also brought Madam's favorite glutinous rice cake and her usual face powder."

"When my mother was sick, it was Mr. Su who bought the medicine for my mother. He is such a good person, he can't just walk away alone..."

"Girl, let's go to the funeral together!"

Everyone was chattering, as if they were afraid that she would drive people away. Other people's funerals were arranged by family members. Mrs. Li's husband died young and had no relatives. Su Fengyan only had such a daughter.

As for the Su family... they were all subconsciously ignored by everyone.

People don't care when they're alive, but can they still care about things after they're dead?
Su Rao stared at them for a long time, nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "Okay, then let's send them off together for the last time."

Everyone nodded in unison.

As soon as the words fell, there was another sound at the entrance of the alley. They followed the sound and saw Gu Cheng wearing plain clothes and leading the silver armored guards, standing in front of him.

"And us."

"It's the imperial envoy, see the grassroots..."

Everyone in the Li family hurriedly prepared to kowtow to salute, but Gu Cheng hurriedly stopped him, and said in a clear voice: "There is no need to be too polite, I am here for the funeral just like you."

As he said that, he looked at Su Rao, "Girl, Mrs. Su is my minister of Dayong's humerus. He used to have an old family relationship with me, both public and private. I should go through this."

"it is good!"

Su Rao nodded and didn't say anything more.

The crowd carried the coffin out of the tavern and out of the city through Tanshi Street. The city gate was wide open, and the guards guarding the city saw the Yinjiawei from a distance and avoided it.

Mrs. Li was going to be buried with her husband, which was not in the same direction as the cemetery chosen by Su Rao, so she was dragged aside by the manager of the Li family as soon as the procession reached the mountainside.

"Girl, let's just go over to Ma'am. She is always considerate and won't complain about you. Go and bury your father first. Don't miss the time. The Imperial Envoy is still waiting."

Su Rao followed his gaze to look at Gu Cheng, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "That's fine, then I'll take care of you."

"Should be."

Li Guanshi made a bow to the Yinjiawei people, and led the others to continue up the mountain.

While Su Rao and the others changed the direction, Gu Cheng didn't talk much, and followed quietly. After walking for a quarter of an hour, she finally found the place. She silently took the shovel and started digging.

Gu Cheng and the others looked at each other and stepped forward to help.

The hole was dug, the coffin was put in, and the soil was covered with shovel by shovel to form a small hill. The monument was erected, the wine was sacrificed, and the paper was burned. The whole process was silent.

"Master Gu Cheng, Xie Su, for pleading for my elder brother's grievances."

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he saluted respectfully, then turned to Su Rao and said, "The deceased is gone, and Miss Su's condolences will change."

"Thank you."

Su Rao nodded slightly, and responded.

Gu Cheng knew that she must be sad at this time, so he called the silver armored guard to retreat to a distance, looked at the figure kneeling upright, and sighed with some regret: "Parents and mothers are all bereaved, she is a lonely girl, and the future I don't know how to live my life..."

"Aren't Master Su's relatives still here?"

Someone couldn't help talking.

"They? I heard that Mr. Su was stopped outside his house when he returned to his hometown in the early years. The two families have not communicated for more than ten years. I got the betrothal gift from the Liu family, so I'm going to force Miss Su to marry Liu Tang."

"Could you be talking about...the Liu Tang I thought of?"

"it's him!"

"Aren't these bastards forcing girls to jump into the fire pit?"

The silver-armored guard whispered, talking more and more vigorously, and couldn't help poking his boss with his elbow, "My lord, I also heard that Mrs. Su married Mrs. Xie's prostitute. , Yan Xie and the two families seem to have finger pulps for..."

Gu Cheng squinted at him, "You want to know?"

The silver-armored guard was overjoyed, and moved closer to him, "My lord is willing to give advice, and I will listen with all my ears..."

"Thank you both, it's easy to say, let me tell you, it's like this..."

Gu Cheng pulled him closer with the end of the sentence, and suddenly withdrew the smile on his face, raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead, "Why don't you ask Master Shizi because you are so curious? , dare to inquire about the private affairs of the nobleman."

The Silver Armored Guard was hit unexpectedly, and quickly took two steps back, clutching his red forehead, "My lord, you are too hard on your hands, aren't we anxious for the lifelong matter of the eldest son?"

"There are so many prostitutes in Shengjing City, princesses and princesses staring at him eagerly. Let alone being a concubine, anyone who is willing to be a concubine or slave can be queued from Shengjing City to Dayan, but our master is pure-hearted and ascetic. There is nothing beautiful about beauty, except going to court and worshiping the Buddha, so scared that everyone outside thought he was going to become a monk..."

"That's not something you should worry about."

Gu Cheng rolled his eyes at him angrily, and warned: "Don't say such things in the future."

"Isn't this what our brothers say in private, adults don't let it be said, and the last general just doesn't mention it in the future."

"That's the best."

Several people were whispering to each other when they suddenly heard an exclamation, "See Shizi."

Gu Cheng and others looked back and saw Yan Yun leading Zhuyan and Qichi wearing flowers and leaves. He was wearing a robe of Yingqingyun brocade, with wide sleeves and lotus patterns embroidered on the corners of the sleeves. Lightly moving and swaying, it is endowed with peerless elegance.

Who wouldn't be in a trance after seeing such a beautiful appearance?

Gu Cheng managed to regain his composure, cupped his fists and bowed to him, "Since the son is here, I will go back to the city first."

"Go."

Yan Yun looked at the figure kneeling in front of the tomb with clear eyes, and replied quietly.

The group left quietly, and he walked in that direction, while Zhu Yan and Qi Chi hid in the dark again.

Yan Yun came to the tomb, burned paper and burned incense, and bowed a few times. After doing all this, she looked at Su Rao. Su Rao returned the salute as usual. There were waves.

"Miss Su, do you still want to check?"
