"Brother, why did you..." Jia Zheng shook his head and wept. The Jinling relatives who came to hear the news felt distressed and urged him to mourn. Because Jia Lian was away, Jia Zheng had to take Jia Lian with him. Explain that the whereabouts of Yinzi leaving the house are unknown.

After Jincai was busy, he asked his wife to lead people to the warehouse to move out the tables, chairs, desks, screens and table enclosures, and asked Mrs. Wang to borrow some rice from the Wang family and the Xue family. Come—I expected that most of the people who came to pay homage to Jia Amnesty were prominent servants sent by various families, so the ones used this time are more prepared than the ones used above.

After finishing the cooking, I heard that Jia Zheng was discussing with the Wang family, Xue family and other masters about the mortuary, so he moved over eagerly.

Wang Zisheng said: "The white-haired old lady of Zun's mansion will send the black man, and I will go back to Kyoto as soon as possible to appease the old lady."

Master Xue just nodded.

Jia Zheng's eyes were red, wondering: "Although this is the case, the status of the elder is unusual, should he stay for three days or five days?" Come down at the funeral.Staying for a few more days, one's heart is hanging and there is no solution, and the imperial decree has been issued early to frighten the Zhifu, so that the lawsuit can be settled, so as to prevent the reputation of Jiamu and Mrs. Wang from getting worse; but the day of the mortuary It's too short, and it's inevitable that people will think that Jia She's death is too brief.

"Master, say something that shouldn't be said. The deceased is already dead. Master should be more considerate of the old lady." Jin Cai interjected at the right time.

After hearing this, everyone persuaded Jia Zheng in the same way.

Wang Zisheng even said: "If Cun Zhou doesn't think about his own family, he should also think about our girl. Our girl has suffered an innocent disaster, and now there is still no place to sue for grievances."

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face turned red, and he repeatedly apologized to the prince, and after being persuaded again and again, he could only say: "The sky is getting hotter and hotter, it doesn't look good if you stop it all the time. Let's just stop for three days."

Jin Cai breathed a sigh of relief, if Jia Zheng really wanted to stop for ten or twenty days, he really didn't know what to do next.

Jincai left here and went to the mourning hall again. Outside the mourning hall, he saw monks and Taoist priests borrowed from relatives' temples already chanting scriptures, knocking on wooden fish, and doing water and land dojos. Mentioning the imperial decree, he sighed twice in his heart, and quietly approached the coffin for a while to test it out. This time, he didn't notice Jia She's aura again. He thought suspiciously that people say that when a person dies, there is always a bubble of excrement and urine to be pulled out. The bottom of the clothes was clean, and there was no feces or urine. Could it be that he really didn't die?

At night, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing came to cry for a while, and were persuaded to go back to their rooms without staying with their companions.

As the steward, Jin Cai came to inspect the oil lamps, incense candles and other small things in the mourning hall in the middle of the night. After taking a look, she remembered the strange breath during the day, and took her hand to Jia She's nose to try it out, and felt another A faint breath of air blew on his fingers, and he tried again, and the air was gone again. He didn't know whether Jia She was alive or dead, so he just pried open his teeth and poured the spilled rice soup into his mouth.

The guards in charge of the mourning hall dozed off and saw Jin Cai's weird movements in a daze, they just thought it was some old rules and didn't bother to ask.

On the second day, although the imperial decree had not yet arrived, every family in Jinling had heard the news of Jia Zheng's attack on the noble, so they were afraid of falling behind and came here to catch up with Jia Zheng if they had friendship, and get acquainted with those who had no friendship.

In the evening, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing still came to burn the papers, discussing who should be called out to throw clay pots and hold filial sticks when Jia Lian couldn't find it and Yingchun fell ill, and selected a descendant of the clan. They were persuaded by the servants to go back and rest.

At dawn, except for the monks and Taoist priests in the side hall, and a few servants sent by relatives to stay with me, no one else came.

Jin Cai came to inspect again, and after offering incense to Jia She respectfully, she felt sorry for Jia She's fate of such a betrayal, shed a few tears, poured rice soup for him, and brought the small scissors for cutting the wick, Whispering, while holding Jia She's hand, he cut Jia She's well-maintained nails into a mess.

"Uncle Jin?" The servants who watched the mourning hall wondered and wanted to step forward to see what happened.

"Go far away." Jin Cai said.

Because the job was tiring and lacking in oil and water, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing's servants refused to accept the job, so they had to ask the people who had stayed in the old house to do it.So the servant was afraid of Jin Cai, and after being shouted at by him, he didn't dare to talk anymore, and just dozed off.

Jin Cai cut Jia She's nails to pieces, took chicken blood and spread it on Jia She's fingers, put Jia She's hand in the brocade quilt again, and then took the chicken blood, furtively toward the long-forged , Jia Amnesty went to the first coffin, scratched and scratched the lid of the coffin with a key, and then wiped it with chicken blood.

The boy guarding the coffin came over curiously, only thinking that Jin Cai had some old grudges with Jia She, and wanted to tell Jia She "to die badly" after Jia She's death, and his face turned pale with fright.

"When you lift the coffin tomorrow, be careful, don't show it." Jin Cai reminded, then remembered something, and said: "I'm going to put something in the coffin tomorrow, you take the lid and cover it for me .”

The job of looking at the coffin is not lucrative, and this young man is also Jin Cai's subordinate, so he became more and more convinced that Jin Cai was going to cast a spell on Jia Amnesty, and quickly agreed.

Not long after dawn, it was the funeral after three days of mortuary.

At daybreak, after consulting Jia Zheng, Zhou Rui and Zheng Hua carefully carried Jia She, who was wrapped in a brocade quilt from head to toe, into the black lacquered coffin when the auspicious time came.

Zhou Rui noticed a movement in the quilt, his scalp went numb with fright, and he immediately let go of his hands.Fortunately, Jin Cai caught it in time, so she didn't lose manners in front of everyone.

After Jin Cai helped put Jia Amnesty into the coffin, she saw that the boys who were carrying the coffin lid were afraid that chicken blood would be exposed, they were holding the coffin lid up and putting it on. Ask Zhou Rui: "Is there anything in this coffin?"

Zhou Rui said in a low voice: "All the things of the Eldest Master were taken away by the Eldest Wife, so where else is there to be buried with him?"

Hearing this, Jin Cai had no choice but to untie a water-colored jade pendant from her waist, poke it in through the gap where one hand could fit in, and cover Jia Shege's body with the quilt secretly. Pull it off and let him show his hands.

"You're the one who has too many things to do." Zhou Rui just thought that Jin Cai couldn't see him, and wanted to add funeral objects to Jia Amnesty, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Jia Zheng felt very sorry, but he didn't wear any jade pendants, so he could only walk a few steps away, weeping and stamping his feet, turned around in grief, and waved for someone to nail the coffin.

Immediately, someone took a special wooden hammer and nailed the coffin to death.

Zhou Rui asked someone to carry the coffin and gently put it into the second layer of coffins, and then the third layer.

Jin Cai saw that the coffin was nailed to death layer by layer, and wondered when Jia Lian would come?If he doesn't come, no wonder he doesn't help Jia Lian anymore.

Speaking of which, this coffin once contained Jia She's treasures, and now it is filled with Jia She's, which can be considered as Jia She's wish.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw people coming from the door in a hurry to disperse the idlers in the hall, and escorted Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, who were in mourning, in mourning, and Jia Zheng also knelt on the futon. Cry seriously.

Jin Cai thought to herself, could it be that someone important is here?Otherwise, why did Mrs. Wang come over and cry?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a voice that suppressed his excitement: "Master, madam, the imperial decree has arrived!"

After a sound, an incense table that had been prepared for a long time was brought out.

Wang Zisheng and others who came to congratulate him all rushed to the mourning hall with great honor. Seeing that Jia Amnesty had been encoffined, they surrounded Jia Zheng to receive the order.

Jia Zheng tidied up his clothes, and helped Zhou Rui out of the mourning hall with heavy steps. When he arrived outside the mourning hall, he saw a master in a first-grade official uniform holding an imperial edict and surrounded by a group of people.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jia Zheng walked out staggeringly with tears streaming down his face.

"The imperial decree has arrived. Jia Zheng and Jia Lian of the Rongguo Mansion will receive the imperial decree." Li Rui held up the imperial decree, glanced at the burning incense on the incense table, calculated how much the incense had burnt, and figured out how much the incense burnt before he entered the door, and the incense table was set up.

"Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion leads the decree." After the futon with the swastika pattern was placed in front of him, Jia Zheng raised his robe and knelt down slowly.

"Where is Jia Lian?" Li Rui asked, looking towards the mourning hall, he could only see a bunch of people who came to offer condolences, but Jia Lian was nowhere to be seen.

"Exactly, where's Lian's second brother?" Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng who followed Li Rui to watch the excitement looked around, but they couldn't find Jia Lian.

Behind Li Rui, He Zhifu frowned, first looked at Jia Zheng, seeing how sad he was, and then looked at the other people who came to express their condolences.

"My nephew is naughty. I have sent people out to look for him for a long time, but they haven't found anyone yet." Jia Zheng said with difficulty.

"It's unreasonable! The old father passed away, and Lian's second brother is not here?" Hearing that the imperial decree came down, Xue Pan came over in a hurry.

Li Rui's brows became tighter and tighter, thinking Mrs. Li and the others said Jia Lian was a filial son?My parents are here, so I don't want to travel far. Besides, Jia She is seriously ill, so why did Jia Lian go out?

"Nonsense, Lian's second younger brother is definitely not that kind of person!" Xu Yuheng couldn't help but defend Jia Lian, and when he looked carefully, even Jia Lian's servant was not at Jia's house, thinking what's wrong?

Suddenly, Jia's house became noisy, and someone yelled, "The second master is waiting to receive the imperial edict, you monkey bastards, don't make trouble!" Then I saw Zhao Tianliang, Zhao Tiandong, Quan Fu, Quan Shou who often followed Jia Lian Several people had bruised noses, swollen faces, and disheveled clothes. At this time, they were either pressed to the ground or hugged around the waist.

"Master, my second master was wronged! My second master was kicked out of the house by the second master!" Zhao Tianliang shouted at Li Rui, and after that, three or four people brought by Jia Zheng pinned him to the ground and knelt Down.

"Nonsense, pull them down quickly!" Zhou Rui said hastily.

"Presumptuous!" Li Rui shouted holding up the imperial decree.

Zhou Rui was stunned, and Jia Zheng's face turned red. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tianliang and the others dared to come out, and slowly got up from the futon and said, "Lian'er messed around and corrupted 10,000+ taels of silver from the mansion. I asked him to go out and get it." , who knows that he will never come back.”

"Second master wronged people! I don't know, where did the 10,000+ taels of silver come from?" The arrow was on the string, and he had to send it. Quan Fu knew that it was too late to withdraw his hand at this time. With red eyes, he was caught by a strong man. Pressed under him, he still shouted with all his strength, thinking that when Jia Lian came back, he had to ask Jia Lian to make up for him.

Jia Zheng sneered and said, "Boss Wu took it out from Yinzhuang..."

"Mr. Wu is so rich, he can take out 10,000+ at will! There is no second master who is so framed! What the second master said is that from top to bottom in our Jia family, no one is clean?" Quan Shou went all out shouted.

Jia Zheng pointed at Zhao Tianliang and Quan Shou and said with a sneer, "What a sharp-tongued servant! From Yinzhuang..."

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Just as Jia Zheng was about to confront Quanfu and Quanshou, he heard a hoarse shout, and when he turned around, he saw Jia Lian barging in crazily in ragged clothes.

Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng saw that Jia Lian was in a state of distress, and saw that he was surrounded by several servants, so they immediately ordered the people from Liangjiang Governor's Mansion to rescue Jia Lian.

"Where's my father?" Jia Lian anxiously grabbed Li Bizhou and asked.

"My lord has already... my second brother Lian, please mourn." Li Bizhou said sympathetically.

Zhou Rui waited quickly to pull Jia Lian and said, "Second Master Lian, come and kneel down to accept the order!"

Jia Lian pushed away the hands of the two of them and hissed, "Go away!" He couldn't push Zhou Rui away for a while, so he sat on the ground and wailed again.

"Get out of the way for Second Master Jia." He Zhifu couldn't stand it any longer, seeing that Jia Lian's clothes seemed to have not been changed for several days, he thought to himself, could it be that Jia Zheng kidnapped Jia Lian?

Jia Lian ran all the way into the mourning hall, weeping bitterly as he caressed the coffin.

"Second brother Lian, please mourn." Xu Yuheng followed and patted Jia Lian on the shoulder.

Jia Lian knelt down on the ground and cried, "Father, why didn't you wait for me? The second master is so cruel!" He cried so hard that he paused for a while while stroking the coffin's hand, put his ear on the coffin, and said straightly: " There is movement in the coffin, open the coffin quickly!"

"Second Master, it's not good to alarm the Elder Master, how can there be any reason to open this sealed coffin?" Zhou Rui and the others asked.

"If I can't see my father for the last time, I'd rather die here today!" Jia Lian said, grabbing the lid of the coffin with his hands, but after a while, his fingernails were pried off, and his hands were stained with blood.

Li Bizhou saw that he looked crazy, so he put his ears on the coffin, but the coffin had three floors, so he couldn't hear the voice inside, but seeing Jia Lian's appearance was really pitiful, so he said to his father: "Ask someone to open the coffin and tell him to take a look." Let's see." As he spoke, tears followed Jia Lian.

Li Rui felt that it was strange that Jia Zheng kicked Jia Lian out of the house first, and then pardoned Jia for the funeral, and the corpse was only buried for three days. He exchanged a glance with He Zhifu, who came with him, and asked Huo Cheng and others who had brought him to pry open the coffin for Jia Lian. Take a look.

Huo Cheng and the others used all their strength to pry open the coffin layer by layer, leaving the last layer. Seeing that Jia Lian was ignoring his own life and waiting for a crack to appear in the coffin, he stretched his hand in and pulled Jia Amnesty, for fear that Jia Lian would be crushed. , ignoring to completely pull out the last few nails, they worked together to break off the coffin lid, only to see that the force was too strong, and after the coffin lid fell, several people also fell to the ground, and then looked at the coffin lying on the edge of the coffin in horror and inexplicable. Jia Amnesty, who was panting heavily.

Is it cheating or time-traveling?Jia Lian also stared blankly.
