The two lanterns were covered with blue wax paper, so the blue lanterns were hung in front of the ancestral hall.

The damaged threshold was discarded under the corridor, and the huge incense burner was overturned next to it, and the upper area was covered with ashes.

The plaque is still there, the handwriting is faintly discernible, and the vermilion painted on the walls and pillars has faded. The yard was full of weeds, and some of them grew into the gaps in the eaves tiles, and the copper bells hanging from the corners of the eaves were hanging solitary without the wind blowing.

Ye Xiao let out a stern cry in the shadows, and fluttered his wings and flew away as soon as people came.

Moli looked around, and several rough men with sticks lay down on the ground.

When they just entered the door, these people thought that Moli was here to grab the site, so they screamed and rushed up directly. As a result, the flower in front of them became like this, plus the painful **** that fell, this was shocking. Look around.

“Who?”

“Did Chen Mazi sent to make trouble?”

The questioning stopped abruptly, because they saw the leader of Crooked Mouth pushed by Lu Min.

Their leader’s face was blue, and he looked terrified.

Other people dressed as walking corpses were also rushed over one after another. Some were covered in mud, some trembled, and they all shrank their necks like a quail.

No need to ask now, I definitely hit a hard idea.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and their expressions were not so much flustered as it was the loss of a stone finally falling.

——They cheated near Taijing, haven’t they thought about the incident?

Stealing and deceiving are different from killing. Killing may be emotional for a while, but with premeditated behavior, people have more or less thought about the worst possible.

Seeing that Mo Li and the others were killed before they came up, a tiny wing of hope rose in their hearts.

“This…”

The leader of Crooked Mouth didn’t know what to call these evil stars. He cried and begged for mercy: “We were blind and provoke you, but the brothers really have no money, and there are not many coppers found all over. Of.”

“Can’t cheat money, why stay here?” Mo Li suddenly asked.

The leader looked sullen, and then argued: “Going back, you can only farm and farm, and you can only earn a lot of money throughout the year. If the weather is good, you can barely fill your stomach. Don’t drink or eat. I thought about it, although I’m hungry and full here, but when I’m full, I can really eat and drink enough. Isn’t that all there is no way, it’s the days of simmering huanglian juice year after year. , Or would you like to endure a bit of hardship in exchange for a few days of relaxation? We just chose the latter one.”

Lu Yan was stunned. Now the people’s life is so difficult?

“Nonsense!” Meng Qi said with a cold face, “You are the corpse-driving people in Xiangxi, not farmers at all. Where did you come from farming and farming? Put others’ troubles on yourself, thinking that you can get confused. ?”

The crowd was startled, and the leader of the crouched mouth quickly said: “No, no, there are only four or five real corpse chasers, and the others are…I taught them. I didn’t chase the corpses. They scared them to pass by.”

He glanced at Meng Qi’s face and said in a murmur, “The people on the rivers and lakes also know what it is to drive the corpse. Our brothers have no tiles and no place to stand. Follow me back to my hometown to resume my old business, not all. Is it a lie? It’s better to cheat money from the living than to cheat money from the dead, isn’t it…”

Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t know what Xiangxi’s corpse was, let alone know the tricky inside.

Mo Li casually told him with a voice transmission: “The so-called eviction of the corpse is to divide the corpse into several pieces and take it home, pretending to be a corpse at night, and rest during the day. When you arrive at a person’s house, no one is allowed in the mourning hall, and then the corpse is taken back. Pieces together, showing hands and feet, clothes filled with straw, and other places are covered with talisman, claiming that no strangers are allowed to touch otherwise the corpse will be deceived. After seeing it once, the family members will immediately seal the coffin and bury it in the next day. Some rush. The corpse man came back with only the head and limbs of the corpse, and the torso of the corpse was burned or buried by them.”

Lu Yan’s eyes widened, unbelievable.

At the time, people paid particular attention to the integrity of the body. Hanging is a lighter punishment in the criminal law than beheading. Even if they commit suicide, people often choose to throw water and swallow gold, and few use knives.

Lu Yin shouted angrily and was about to pick up and beat people up.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the leader of Crooked Mouth dodges in a hurry.

“I’ve seen a few of the people who drove corpses.” Meng Qi slowed down, his voice pierced with a biting chill, he stared at the crooked mouth leader, who only felt as if he had a knife from Scratched on the face.

“In the earliest days, people who drove the corpse were also transporting the whole corpse, but later it changed…”

“Why change?” Mo Li couldn’t help but ask, Mr. Qin told him about the corpse removal, but he didn’t know what he was doing in this business.

“People who normally transport coffins back to their hometowns will be looked down upon, and those who drove the corpses are feared. They live in special houses divided by villages along the way, and even go to the foot shop and tea shop where they rest. Living companions. The relatives of the deceased respectfully gave gifts of thanks and food, and paid a visit every New Year’s and holidays, and thanked them for three years until the mourning was over. There are various benefits in this, let them choose to be a fool The corpse chaser, not the corpse transporter.”

Meng Qi sarcastically looked at the people who were swaying and sneered, and continued with a sneer, “Some people don’t believe that they are chasing the corpses, and they follow them quietly, wanting to see if they have carried the corpses on the road, and they simply abandon the corpses in order to hide their eyes. , Lied that the people who disturbed the walking corpses were in bad luck and would surely die within half a year. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were making money and killing them.”

“No, no, the little one has never done this.” The leader of Yizui denied it, and tried to defend it. “It’s all the old calendar. Forty years ago, the government arrested a lot of people in Xiangxi, and they all went to jail for crimes. He even flattened all the houses where the corpse chasers lived all over Xiangxi…I had no food for a long time, otherwise, why would I live here to cheat?”

Mo Lei counted in his heart, this was an order from the official mansion of the Chu Dynasty.

Most of them were aware of the crime of the corpse chaser, so thunder was used to suppress it.

However, the corpse chaser is deeply entrenched in the area of ​​Xiangxi, and there are always fish that escape the net, and the leader of the crooked mouth must be one of them.

“Now even if you let you go back and drive the corpse, you won’t be willing.” Meng Qi pierced the minds of this group directly, and said with a smile, “Just as you said before, how can you compare to the hard work? Come here to deceive people and be happy? Staying near the Zhuhou Temple and pretending to be a scary corpse, you don’t have to go over the mountains, and you don’t have to bother to deal with the dead body.”

The leader of Crooked Mouth is speechless.

Yeah, this kind of front foot is scary, and the time when you can get the property immediately on the back foot is so good that a fool can return to his old career! Furthermore, the Chu Dynasty officials exposed all their tricks back then, and there are more people who hate them over there. Isn’t it just going back to find death?

Mo Lei looked over one by one and found that everyone was subconsciously avoiding his gaze, and he realized something in his heart.

Meng Qi threw the man in the corner of the courtyard and went straight into the ancestral hall.

Moli was originally going to go in, but Mr. Jin Shui and the carriage were still outside the ancestral hall. He worried that Lu Yan was not the opponent of these people, so he stood in the yard and didn’t move.

The damage to Zhu Hou Temple is not serious, and the building remains largely intact. The biggest problem is that it has fallen into disrepair.

Moli walked to the incense burner and reached out to touch the dust on it.

The leader of Chuizui has been carefully observing their actions. Suddenly, there was an idea, thinking that these two people came to worship Zhuhou Temple?

This is very common. Every year, many scholars come here, and then they become the fat sheep in the eyes of the leader and others.

The leader of the crooked mouth sighed in his heart. Originally, he only thought he was unlucky. The “fat sheep” in front of him was snatched from another group. There are so many swindlers and robbers near Zhuhou Temple, even if he doesn’t do anything. There will be others too, maybe it’s just a bit of luck.

If these two people came for Zhuhou Temple, there would be no luck, and they are destined to be planted today.

In this wild land, Zhu Hou Temple is the best place to shelter. If he and his brothers had some skill, they might not be able to occupy this place. Now that this advantage has become a life-death talisman, how can this corpse chaser leader not be annoyed?

“I have incense here, do you want to use it?”

The leader of Chuizui desperately winked at his men, and Mo Li turned his head to look at him unexpectedly.

The leader struggled to squeeze out a smile, and his actions were quick, and he actually took out a box of incense from the corner.

This is relatively inferior sandalwood, mixed with a pungent smell.

Mo Lei took the box with his eyes down and asked in amazement: “What do you do with this thing?”

The leader felt a little bit in his heart, but he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and gamble.

“This… rumors say that Zhu Hou has the ability to control gods and ghosts. Although I can’t wait for a few words, I still have to be sheltered by his old man. There is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and occasionally he also offers incense. Of.”

“Really?”

Mo Lei put the box containing sandalwood aside.

At this time, Meng Qi also came out, although his expression was not worried, but he was not murderous.

The leader of Chuizui secretly said a fluke. If it weren’t for the folks to spread Zhu Yan to the outside world, it would make people taboo. They had replaced another old official of the Chu Dynasty, they would have tossed this place completely beyond recognition.

“What should these people do?” Moli asked Meng Qi secretly through a voice transmission.

It is obviously impossible to stay here, not for Zhu Hou Temple, but not to harm the pedestrians in the past.

The problem is that we have captured these corpse chasers and other scammers – even if we capture all the bandits nearby, there will only be one or two fish that slip through the net, and within a year, there will be bandits gathering together again.

Without him, the money came too fast.

The government servants who once colluded with the bandits and the people in the small town who set up a set of traps have been used to the “good life”, so how can they be willing to cut their money?

These people are not guilty of death, they cannot be killed, nor can they be killed.

Meng Qi does not necessarily attach importance to the grief and glory of his friends after his death. Because he has been prepared, he will not be too sad to see the ruined Zhuhou Temple, but Zhuhou Temple has become the nest of robbers, which is unbearable.

“It’s difficult, isn’t there a ready-made person?” Meng Qi motioned to Mo Li to see Lu Min.

“You mean?”

“Prince…No, Emperor Yongchen only asked us to take his brother out of Taijing, and agreed to take Jin Yiwei at one place. 80% of this matter is Gong Jun, an acquaintance, it’s better to do things. .”

“…”

Mo Lei looked at the smile on the corner of Meng Qi’s mouth, thinking that Fat Mouse was going to make trouble again.

Sure enough, I heard Meng Qi continue to say: “Trying to find a way to contact the people at Gongjun, I think this kid Lu Yan is very enterprising and doesn’t want to be too far away from the capital. A nearby town is a good choice.”

“Can I leave Mr. Jinshui by the way, and thoroughly investigate the fraud case?” Mo Li raised his forehead.

“Exactly.” Meng Qi said solemnly, “The reason why this financial road is good is because the government is not willing to get involved with Zhuhou Temple. It always avoids this side, and even cares not to be seen by the emperor. These scammers can hide here securely. As long as they come to the bottom to draw a salary, things become much easier.”

Jin Yiwei’s reputation is not for nothing.

Even if there is a good way of making money, as long as people hear the three words Jin Yiwei, they will immediately withdraw.

Moli was silent for a long time, and Fang sighed: “Where is this!”

Why did the world become like this? The preferences of the king can dominate the lives and deaths of thousands of people, and a scrupulous concern that causes trouble can make the county magistrate turn a blind eye to the bandits. Now even Jinyiwei can be a good strategy for governing the country. Isn’t it ridiculous?

The sky covered by dark clouds finally started to rain.

Moli used his internal force to drain the rain, and the ground he was standing on was dry.

The leader of Chuizui was dumbfounded, because he couldn’t hear these two people talking, and became more and more apprehensive.

Meng Qi frowned and looked at him, and in a blink of an eye he sealed all the acupuncture points, and then brought Moli into the ancestral hall.

There are messy beddings, pots and pans scattered inside, only the main hall is clean.

Moli went all the way to the memorial table. The enshrined statue can only see a person wearing an official robe holding a jade wat. The brows, eyes and face are all very standard carving methods. In other words, you can’t see anyone else. What’s the difference.

“So Leyang Hou Zhu is the official position of the literature.”

The literature is the posthumous title of Zhu Yan.

Smart and wise, said offering, and knowing the quality, saying, offering. A person who has the wisdom of the world and the talent of the world, the word offering is low.

“What kind of person is Leyanghou?”

Moli has heard of Prime Minister Deng who loves to eat mutton, at home

General Song, whose garden is particularly beautiful, Meng Qi never said Zhu Yan.

Anyone has the most affectionate and sexual, and sages are no exception.

Meng Qi frowned and sold the old friend decisively.

“Zhu Yan is lazy!”

“Lazy?”

Mo Li was stunned. Zhu Yan is from the south of the Yangtze River. Wherever the style of writing is prosperous, a child prodigy who is under the age of sixteen can emerge every three and a half. Under such circumstances, Zhu Yan was still famous as a teenager. He was full of poetry and books, and knew almost everything, and the world was willing to bow down. How can such a person be lazy?

“He is afraid of hardships and troubles. He doesn’t want to get up until the sun rises to the middle of the sky. In addition to his poor health, chills and heat, he often says that after the world is calm, he will resign and spend his days at home~IndoMTL. com~Drink tea, eat melons and fruits. In short, don’t want him to go to court before dawn.”

Meng Qi was in a daze for a while, and continued, “He is too lazy to speak and curse, to fight for the position of the first conspirator, not to marry and not have children. Deng Shusheng once said that even if the world takes turns to strip off his clothes and pass in front of Zhu Yan, It’s not as attractive to Zhu Yan as a book.

Mo Li was amused at first when he heard the words, then he was startled.

Those who were so afraid of trouble and hardship, decided to help the world and make suggestions for Emperor Chu Yuan, and eventually died of illness in the army.

“Brother Meng, the old man is dead, there will still be people who have the world like Leyanghou, who don’t ask for fame, but only for the common people.”
