A ragged man appeared in the corner of the capital and looked left and right.

A group of people also came slowly and followed the man.

These people are very strange. They look like beggars, but they carry several large boxes. The one in front can still see that it is a coffin, but the one behind is a wooden box. I don't know what's in it.

When a soldier saw that the beggars were strange, he couldn't help looking forward.

The man in front immediately hid behind, mixed in the crowd, and didn't come forward to talk.

An old man came to the front and said to the officer and soldier, "officer, what's the matter?"

The officer and soldier said, "who are you and what is this? Open it and have a look."

Hearing this, the old man said in embarrassment, "officer, we were refugees from the border and came all the way from the north. Now, you can also see that in that box, they are coffins. Naturally, they are corpses. I want them to go home for burial and return to their roots. "

The officers and soldiers looked at the big box on the back and said, "whatever it is, check it and open the coffin and box."

The old man continued, "this officer is really a corpse. Are you sure you want to see it?"

Hearing the old man's words, the official looked at him and thought it might be some treasure, otherwise the old man didn't have to be too defensive, so he insisted on opening it for himself.

He shook his head reluctantly. The old man could only let a few people who looked like beggars to open a crack in the box and let the official have a good look.

After taking a closer look at the man in the box, he was really human, but he couldn't be sure whether it was a corpse or not.

Perhaps it was to determine whether it was a corpse or not. Next to it, there was an officer and soldier who looked like a head. He came to see and was ready to lift the veil of the corpse.

The old man nearby hurriedly said, "officer, people die like lights out. Since the white yarn has been covered, even if you really want to see the dead's remains, you have to let their families open it. If you open the veil like this, I'm afraid you don't respect the dead. "

After thinking about it, the official did not continue to stretch out his hand just now. He just touched it under the veil and pinched it. It really feels like a human feeling. It may be a corpse.

The first garrison soldier who came over couldn't help but say, "it must be a corpse. You smell it. It's already smelly. I don't know how long it's been. Let them go and bury it well."

Staring at the beggars, the official said in some doubt, "why, did you run back from the north with this body all the way?"

The old man said, "we don't want to, but these brothers wanted to return to their roots before they died, so we took the trouble to bring his body back. I hope the official can release it. "

Seeing some people behind, the officers and soldiers asked whether there were bodies in other boxes.

Nodded, the old man said, "they are all the people who died in the border war. We brought them back all the way and fulfilled their last wishes. They are all poor people."

Looking at this long line of beggars, the officers and soldiers felt a little moved. After all, they were all people who died in the war. The border is really much more sad than the capital.

The officers and soldiers next to him also advised the chief official to let the man go quickly. After all, he was also a corpse. Presumably, his family had been waiting for a long time.

The official said, "Why are some coffins carried and some boxes pulled. It's strange. "

The old man said, "the master and his wife are in that coffin. They dare not be wronged. The remaining brothers... Although they wronged them all the way for convenience, they will also prepare coffins for their burial after finding their families in the capital. "

Officials insisted on looking at all the coffins and boxes before they were relieved.

Looking at the official, the old man asked if he could leave.

Nodded, the official said, "all right, go in and bury the body well. Don't put it outside for too long, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be let go if you die."

Thank the official again. The old man asked everyone to get ready, seal the body in the coffin and box, and carry the body forward.

The leader who had just mixed in the crowd came to the front again, slowly wiped the stain on his face and revealed his face.

The old man just walked up to her and said, "general Lin, where should we go now?"

Lin Jiaxi said, "now that we have brought back the bodies of our father and wife and these brothers, we can't let them suffer in the world anymore. We should let them settle down as soon as possible. Then let's go to the Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of household to find general Xu. After all, it's her parents. Naturally, we have to ask her to cry. "

The old man said, "then we'll listen to general Lin's way and take the body, but we'll take it back directly. General Xu will believe that it's the bodies of Lord Xu and his wife. After all, the bodies have rotted."

Lin Jiaxi said, "since ancient times, blood is thicker than water. Since they are related by blood, they must be recognized as daughters no matter what their father and wife look like. Besides, General Xu and I are close friends. How could she not believe me? "

Nodded, the old man said, "we don't know where the Hubu Shangshu house is. Please ask general Lin to lead the way."

With a long sigh of relief, Lin Jiaxi said, "maybe Mulan can stay in the capital. It's hard in her heart. I thought she would go to the battlefield to avenge her father, but I didn't expect to wait for her in the north.

The old man said, "in fact, the leader of Prince Yong had expected. After all, I heard that he returned to the capital from Yongzhou for the sake of the northern border. Besides, Prince Yong calmed the war quickly. Does general Cheng Lin think there is something wrong? "

Lin Jiaxi said, "I've been guarding the bodies of my father and wife for so long and haven't been able to bury them. I just hope my father can see his relatives again before he goes to the earth. But now, half a year after my father died, I haven't been able to settle down. I don't know whether what I did was right or not. "

The old man said, "general Lin, don't think so much. It's better to send the body to the Minister of household first."

After thinking for a while, Lin Jiaxi said, "we don't go to the Minister of household now. After all, although it is said that there are three daughters of Duke Xu, after all, it's not his home. We'd better send it to the government of Ernst & young. After all, there is no one to send the body of his father-in-law to his son-in-law's door. "

The old man couldn't help saying, "general Lin is getting more and more difficult to make a decision recently."
