Chapter 354: The Follow-up Triggered by a Coffin
Li Xin's mother's surname is Xiao, and his family is a gentry in Qiyang County, originally from Xiaojia Town, and later moved to live in the county seat, and has quite some property, so Li Shen was injured more than ten years ago, and when he was recuperating in Qiyang County, he would borrow to live in Xiao's house. ☆☆ The new 'thinking' road 'Chinese 'text' net' starts with a hand-hit ☆☆
At that time, the young lady of the Xiao family was only sixteen years old, which was the age of the girl Huaichun, and there was a handsome and extraordinary young man in the family, especially in a small place like Qiyang County, which was particularly dazzling.
At that time, Li Shen did not reveal his identity to the Xiao family, only said that he was a general of the Pingnan Army, and he was injured on the battlefield, and it was not until Li Shen left a few months later that the Xiao family did not know his true identity.
Only the young lady of the Xiao family harvested a jade pendant engraved with the word "Shen" and a child.
However, Xiao Mingli, the head of the Xiao family, is a talented person, and he attaches great importance to etiquette, and he was furious after knowing that his daughter was unmarried and pregnant, and almost beat this daughter to death.
The people of the Xiao family all felt that Li Xin's mother had broken the lintel of the Xiao family.
And this poor Miss Xiao all her life, she didn't tell outsiders who Li Shen was until she died.
She was only thirty-three years old when she died.
Probably because this Miss Xiao is tired of the suffering of the world, and her son is about to grow into a teenager, so she simply died.
That night, Li Xin and Zhong Xiaoxiao simply cleaned up the thatched hut and stayed here for one night.
It was already early spring, and the weather was not too cold, and the group was carrying blankets and coats and other things, so the night was not too difficult.
The next morning, Li Xin took Yu Linwei's people to the county seat of Qiyang County and found the largest coffin shop in Qiyang County.
Li Xin, who was dressed in black, walked in with a calm face.
He speaks the authentic Qiyang dialect.
"The shopkeeper, I want to buy two coffins."
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his early forties, a little short, and immediately bowed his head when he heard the words: "Hey, what kind of wooden coffin is the guest officer going to want, a male coffin or a female coffin?" ”
The coffins are divided into men and women, and there are some differences.
Li Xin lowered his eyebrows slightly: "One man and one woman, the best." ”
According to the funeral rules, the thicker the coffin, the better, the best material is sandalwood, the inferior is made of nanmu, and fir is used again.
So replace the coffin.
As for the other coffin, it was for my uncle.
The shopkeeper looked Li Xin up and down, knowing that a fat sheep was coming, led Li Xin to a Nanmu coffin, bent down and said: "Guest officer, please see, this coffin is made of high-quality Nanmu, the board is thick, your ancestors will be able to bless future generations when they lie down." ”
Li Xin nodded and said, "That's it." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and continued: "As for the female coffin, you wait for a day or two, the little old man will make it fresh, and it will be made tomorrow afternoon." ”
Li Xin glanced at the coffin shop, a coffin made of sandalwood, slightly smaller than the men's coffin, with a blessing word pasted on it.
The coffin is exquisite, the man sticks the longevity, and the woman sticks the blessing.
"This mouth...?"
The shopkeeper shook his head again and again: "Guest officer, this is not to be seen, this is custom-made by the mother of the county lord, the old lady values this the most, this coffin is her lifeline, I dare not sell it to you." ……”
Li Xin turned his head to look at the shopkeeper.
"Is the county's mother dead?"
The shopkeeper's face changed greatly: "Guest officer, don't you dare to say that, the old man is in good health, this coffin is still the wood found by the county lord, and it is made of the little old man, and it ......can't be sold."
Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "His mother is not dead, my mother is dead, so I am in a hurry." ”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Guest officer, that's not the way you put it......"
Li Xin didn't pay attention to him, but clapped his hands.
In the shopkeeper's stunned eyes, more than 20 strong men poured into the coffin shop and carried the two coffins out!
Li Xin did not leave, but stayed, took out a few pieces of gold from his sleeve and put them on the table, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper, I am not an unreasonable person, I am just in a hurry, please talk to the county lord, and say that I will compensate him for a sandalwood coffin later." ”
Li Xin, who was walking out, stopped and continued: "If he can't swallow this breath, let him go to Qishan to find me, and I will repair my mother's grave on Qishan during this time." ”
After Li Xin left, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop rushed to the Qiyang County Ya and sounded the drum of grievances.
………………
After leaving the coffin shop, Li Xin began to contact the stonemasons and carpenters in Qiyang County, and they were all invited to Qishan.
At the same time, Shen Gang also bought stone on a large scale in Qiyang County, and the money was much higher than the market price, and there was a lot of movement for a while.
Originally, Li Xin didn't have to participate in these chores, he only needed to say hello to the local government, and the local government would recruit conscripts to help him repair the grave.
But Li Xin is a little paranoid, and there are some things that he wants to do by himself, at least he participates in it.
But after all, it still offends people.
With his identity as Jing'anhou, there is no problem with his approach in the coffin shop, and he can even be called gentle and frugal, without style, but if he ignores the identity of Jing'anhou, this practice is extremely arrogant.
Zhou Yang, the county honor, was furious.
In a remote place like Qiyang County, the county is the parent of heaven and earth, he has been rampant in Qiyang County for so many years, he has never been the only one who robbed others, and now he has been robbed by others?
The next morning, this Zhou Xianzun took a group of officials to find Qishan, and after seeing those workers who were transporting stones up the mountain, he was even more angry.
He rushed directly to the halfway point of the mountain with people, ready to snatch the coffin back, and by the way, arrest the villain and these people into the county jail!
Then he saw Li Xin halfway up the mountain, and just as the county lord rushed towards Li Xin angrily, a strong man took out a sign with white tiger stripes on a black background from his arms.
The county lord immediately made a succession, and went down the mountain with a lot of urine.
Feather...... Yu Linwei, the Son of Heaven is the leader!
It depends on the situation that Yu Linwei is still a high-level official, no matter what Yu Linwei does in Qishan, he can't afford to offend this small county order.
From Zhou Xianzun going up the mountain to going down the mountain in a hurry, Li Xin didn't look at him from beginning to end.
Breaking the county order, destroying the prefect, the county is not a low-level official, in this kind of place where the emperor is far away, the county is the heaven of the poor place of Qiyang County.
But Li Xin couldn't see him anymore.
He just wanted to build a decent grave for his mother, which was not beneficial to the dead, but just wanted to comfort and comfort himself.
On Qishan, the sound of tinkling does not stop for a moment.
Zhou Xianzun gritted his teeth with hatred.
He is a filial son, and he spent a lot of money to get that piece of sandalwood, ready to honor his mother, no matter who forcibly took it, he couldn't swallow it.
What's more, there are no more than twenty or thirty of these Yulin guards!
The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake......
Zhou Xianzun thought so in his heart.
That night, he convened some squires in Qiyang County to discuss the matter.
This county lord has a vicious voice.
"No matter what the origins are, let's move cleanly, they won't have a background!"
Qiyang County is a small remote county town, and the local squires and the county respect cooperate with each other in order to benefit each other, but these squires also have to help when the county order needs help.
Otherwise, if there is a trouble, everyone will have a hard time in the future.
The squires hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Because there is nothing risky.
"Don't worry, Lord County, in Qiyang County, no matter who is here, we have to hold it!"
"These people are too deceitful, they will definitely help Mrs. Tai regain that coffin!"
"Even if someone investigates, it will only find out the head of the bandit, and there will be nothing to do with the county lord......"
"There are only twenty or thirty people, and they dare to make trouble in Qiyang County!"
Zhou Xianzun sneered.
"When I arrived in Qiyang, no one was as big as Lao Tzu!"
It is worth mentioning that among these squires, there is a family surnamed Xiao.
