Chapter 1066: Chaos
Autumn is gradually coming to an end, the weather in Chang'an City is getting colder and colder day by day, the wind is blowing relentlessly, and the pedestrians on the street are gradually becoming scarce.
Hua Lang, Wen Meng and the others have not been out for a long time, because they don't want to be blown by the cold wind.
On this day, there are a lot of people on the streets, and the clamor is not very high, and the doors of many shops are ajar and half hidden, because it will be cold if the wind blows into the shops.
And at this time, there was a sudden sound of suona in the distance on the street, followed by bursts of crying, the sound was sad, as if it was more sad than the gloom at the end of autumn, and the pedestrians on the street heard the cry and immediately understood that someone was out of the funeral, so they hurriedly got out of the way.
After a while, a group of people carried the coffin through the street, the family of the deceased walked in front, crying fiercely, and the originally clean street was soon sprinkled with white paper money, and when the cold wind blew, the sky was full of paper money.
Many passers-by felt that this was unlucky, so they hurriedly dodged, some were not easy to dodge, and even cursed coldly.
The funeral procession was heading east, and just as they were walking through the densest crowd, there was a sudden sound of chasing from the east, and then, a man who looked like a street thug rushed from the east, and he rushed in such a hurry that he didn't think about the funeral procession in front of him at all, so that when he rushed over, he suddenly crashed into the coffin.
The coffin is very heavy, it takes four or five people to carry it, but if someone hits it, the coffin is afraid that it will sink immediately, and it is true, after the coffin was hit by the man, it fell to the ground with a plop, and after falling to the ground, the coffin even pressed the foot of a coffin bearer, and for a while the sound of cursing and crying spread chaotically in the streets of Chang'an City, and even blew the shouts after the last one.
The shouting came from the east, and after the people on the side heard the shouting, they realized that the man who hit the coffin just now was actually a thief, and the people behind were the people who had been stolen, and they ran from the east to chase the thief, but the thief mixed into the funeral procession, and the coffin was across the street, blocking those who were chasing.
For some reason, the two sides suddenly quarreled, one party was angry because the thief they were chasing hit the coffin, and the other party was arguing because they were blocking their way to pursue the thief.
There were a lot of people around who watched the excitement, but they watched the excitement, so they didn't think about coming forward to persuade them.
The relatives of the deceased wept and quarreled, how scary it looked, there were more than a dozen people chasing the thief, and they looked very much like the family members in a certain house, and they came out to find the thief, not to quarrel with people, for this reason, when they understood it, they immediately abandoned those who came out of the funeral and ran in the direction of the thief's escape.
The mourners scolded and cried in the back, and the last ones continued to carry the coffin out of the city.
It was like this, and it seemed that everything was happening normally, but the next morning, someone ran to the government office in Chang'an City to report the case, saying that the coffin they had just put into the ground yesterday had been opened last night, and the person who reported the case said that it was even more miserable than the dead.
In fact, this is completely understandable, throughout the ages, everyone has such a point of view that the burial is peaceful, so when the dead are buried, it is very disrespectful to open the coffin again, and it is also a great disaster for the family of the deceased.
After Li Jingan heard about this incident, he was immediately furious, this kind of thing happened in Chang'an, which can be described as unancient, so Li Jingan decided not to tolerate the person who opened the coffin.
And if you want to punish the person who cut the coffin, you must first find that person, for this reason, Li Jingan immediately ordered the official to call Hualang, and he went to the suburban cemetery, after all, the coffin was cut open, who dug it, it is not easy to find, all the clues, I am afraid that it is in this coffin cemetery.
The cold wind in the suburbs blew a chill, and the depressed scene made people's hearts inexplicably empty, Li Jingan checked around the cemetery for a long time, but he didn't notice anything, so he had to wait for Hualang to come.
Hua Lang didn't come very quickly, because the weather was cold, and the coffin was cut open and it was not a big fatal case, so Hua Lang was not in a hurry, when he came to the accident site, Li Jingan was stomping his feet in a hurry, probably because it was too cold.
After he saw Hua Lang, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Dude, you already know everything about here, right?" ”
Hua Lang nodded: "On the way here, the official said to me, but what the hell is going on, how could someone dig the coffin, is there a lot of valuable burial goods in the coffin?" ”
Li Jing'an couldn't answer Hua Lang's question, he glanced at the relatives of the deceased, then waved his hand, and said, "Come here, the playboy has something to ask you." ”
There are many family members of the deceased, it seems to be a big family, but there are very few direct families, there is a middle-aged man in his forties, and two men in his twenties, after the three of them stepped forward, the middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly saluted Hua Lang and said, "The grass man is the younger brother of the deceased, I don't know what the playboy wants to ask?" ”
Hua Lang glanced at them and said, "The name of the deceased, your name?" ”
"The deceased is my brother, called Jin Yi, and the grass people are called Jin Er, these two are the orphans of my eldest brother, Jin Wu and Jin Wen, my eldest brother died of illness, and he only entered the ground yesterday, but who would have thought that as soon as he entered the soil, he was dug out, and he didn't know that it was the one who killed a thousand knives, so he didn't accumulate yin virtue......
Jin Er muttered a lot, but his two nephews kept crying, Hua Lang waved his hand to stop them, and asked, "Looking at your appearance, it should be a rich family, this Jin is buried, there should be a lot of funeral goods, right?" ”
In ancient times, most of the burials of the dead were to be accompanied by burials, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were living people to accompany the burial, and later it became Tao Yong and some gold, silver and jewelry, and this kind of thing mostly appeared in the rich family, and it is understandable for Hua Lang to ask such a question.
It's just that after hearing this, Jin Er shook his head: "Our Jin family is indeed quite rich, but my eldest brother does not agree to use funeral goods, he said that the reason why the tombs in the world were stolen by tomb thieves is mostly because there are too many funeral goods in the coffin, and he doesn't want to die and is not alive, so he is not allowed to use funeral goods, as long as we celebrate the New Year's festival and burn him more before the festival." ”
After Jin Er finished speaking, his two nephews hurriedly followed along, looking at their appearance, it didn't look like they were lying, Hua Lang looked at the three of them and nodded, and then frowned slightly.
