I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 460 The Cook and the Diners

As Ji Sun Yiru's favorite retainer, Zhongliang Huai's request was reasonable in itself.

"My lord is suffering from an epidemic disease, and the death is too tragic to be watched. Besides, the deceased is a big one, and he has already been encoffined, so how can he act arbitrarily?"

Both of Ji Sun Yiru's excuses can be described as righteous and strict, making it difficult to refute, but Zhongliang Huai also argued with reason.

"Yang Hu! The lord was still healthy and healthy before, even if he was sick, he could heal himself. How could he be so sick in a blink of an eye? Besides, if he had an epidemic, why would you be asymptomatic if you were with him? ?”

"There must be something wrong here! It's definitely not something you can just fool around with! Although Huai is not talented, he still has to find out the truth even if he is risking his life!"

Yang Hu narrowed his eyes:
"Zhongliang Huai! You don't want to confuse the public here! Among the entourage driving the lord, only the lord is the oldest, and it is normal to suffer from this serious disease! If you want to die with the master, only a white silk is enough. Why do you need to scare me here? Do you want to do such things that make my family disgraceful?"

"Nowadays, those who come to pay respects and condolences in the palace are all the ministers of our Lu Kingdom, and there are many elderly people among them. Once this coffin is opened, it will infect others, and our Lu Kingdom will be in chaos because of it. You, Zhongliang Huai Are you worthy of this responsibility?"

"Zhongliang Huai, who in the Ji family doesn't know that you have always been at odds with me, Yanghu? When the Patriarch was around, you still restrained yourself, but now that the Patriarch's body is still cold, you are planning to slander me here and trap me Is it unrighteous?"

Zhongliang Huai was also speechless for a while, and was stunned for a while.

"I, Zhongliang Huai, walk upright and sit upright, and I don't mean to make things difficult! Huai just wants to know the cause of the Patriarch's death. I think there are so many people in my Ji family, who doesn't want to know? How can you do it because of your words? cover it up?"

Zhongliang Huai's words were indeed supported by many people. Seeing this, Yang Hu knew that he could not stop him, so he could only say:
"Since that's the case, in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading, let the doctors in the palace take care of it!"

In fact, at this time, there were no such professional autopsy personnel.Therefore, the usual post-mortem work is usually completed by the local officials and slaves.

And because of Ji Sun Yiru's special status, and it was rumored that he was infected with the plague, he couldn't be so negligent.Therefore, Yang Hu's proposal to let more professional personnel come to inspect it seems quite normal.

Zhongliang Huai had nothing to say about this, so he could only agree.

Soon the medical officers in the palace came to the Ji Mansion, first cleaned up the place, and after smoldering the wormwood, they put it around.For a while, the smoke was so thick that people couldn't even open their eyes, let alone go up to check together.

Afterwards, these medical officers pretended to carry out a so-called autopsy. During the period, the cloth covered their mouth and nose, entered with only one hand, and checked back and forth briefly.

When the doctor came out of the mourning hall, he also hurriedly washed his hands, Zhongliang Huai hurriedly asked:

"Why is my lord so unpaid?"

The doctor didn't reply in a hurry, but carefully washed his hands, put the cloth into boiling water, and washed his face.

"Hey...why do you bother so much? There is no doubt that Dr. Jisun died of an epidemic. I hope everyone should be careful, don't go close to check, and buy more ice cubes. If you get infected Now, it will be troublesome!"

It turned out that Guan Cong had expected it a long time ago, so he greeted his colleagues in Lu Palace early.

You must know that as a member of the "Taoji", he was originally a series of people from various countries such as witches, doctors, divination, music, and history.

It's not that they are expressly asking them to give perjury.

Just because Ji Sun Yiru's status is too noble, how dare these doctors really look through it carefully?
What's more, considering the conditions at that time, since the corpses had been stiff for many days, how could they tell if they were ugly?

Therefore, from the point of view of the evil epidemic that they said, they will push the boat along with the current, just say so.

Guan Cong, as a member of the "Taoji", he knows exactly what kind of thoughts most of these "witches, doctors, divination, and music people" have.

After all, if you want to get along in this circle, "going along" and "following others" are the best amulets.

However, when someone really wants to challenge their authority, these people will join forces to suppress this voice from a "more professional" perspective in order to protect themselves and their masters.

So as long as one understands this, it is not difficult to understand why these doctors help Yang Hujing to tell such nonsense.

Is it a distortion of human nature?Or moral decay?

No, it's just in their favor.

In the face of interests, the truth is never important.What's more, they themselves have no intention of knowing the truth.

Now, since the "evidence is conclusive", no one proposed to examine Ji Sun Yiru's body anymore.

And Yang Hu, as the steward of the Ji family, officially began to monopolize the Ji family's affairs after the death of his master.

……

Later, Yang Hu wrote letters to Li Ran and Kong Qiu who lived in Yunyi.

During this period of time, Li Ran has been by Ji Le's side all the time. Although her condition has not recovered, it has not continued to deteriorate, which also makes Li Ran feel a little relieved.

When Ji Le knew that Ji Sun Yiru was dead, she was overjoyed and burst into tears hugging Li Ran, which was a kind of emotional catharsis.

Li Ran caressed his beloved wife's back and hair. During this time, due to his illness and overthinking, Ji Le had lost a lot of hair, which made Li Ran very distressed.

When Ji Le was tired from crying, Li Ran said:

"The old thief Jisun is dead. This is a great joy. Le'er should be happy. Why did he cry like a tearful man again?"

Ji Le stopped crying.

"Yes, what my husband said is very true... the revenge of father and brother must be avenged!"

"Le'er, you need to take good care of your body next, and when we return to Zhengyi, we will be able to see Guang'er!"

Ji Le nodded slightly, but suddenly remembered something.

"By the way... can Ah Yan and Ah Wei return to the country?"

"Not yet, the situation in the country of Lu is unknown, we have to wait and see for a while!"

Hearing the words, Ji Le couldn't help but sighed again.

"Le'er wanted to bring them back to Zhengyi together, but Le'er talked to them about this a few days ago. They still seem to want to go back to Qufu. After all, it's where their ancestral hall is. Although they are young, they still have a lot of love My own opinion..."

"It's not urgent, the old thief Jisun is dead, we just need to send him back after Qufu is settled down!"

Now, the Ji family has fallen, and the person in charge is Yang Hu.According to Yang Hu's current behavior, he should treat Gong Yan and Gong Wei kindly.

Therefore, Ji Le thought for a while, and then responded with a "hmm".

Li Ran could also see how much she missed Guang'er, and was also considering whether Fan Li should bring Guang'er to Yunyi to reunite with him?

After An Dun Ji Le fell asleep, Li Ran came out to find Kong Qiu.

Kong Qiu's request to Yang Hu's letter, which is to let him go back to Lu State to "organize" Ji's funeral together with him, is still a little hesitant at this moment.

However, after reading it, Li Ran felt that Kong Qiu could go there.

"Zhongni, Jisun Yiru is dead, you go back to Qufu to help Yanghu with the funeral. And if you can take this opportunity to revitalize the office with him, it's really good, you go now!"

In fact, even Li Ran never imagined that this Guan Cong really had such a means, not only to make Ji Sun Yiru's death come as scheduled.Moreover, before that, his evil deeds were made public.

Therefore, Li Ran knew very well that the reason why he recommended Kong Qiu to organize his funeral together must have another meaning.

I have to say that although Guan Cong's actions are too radical, they are indeed effective.

Compared with Guan Cong, he is like a foodie and a chef.As a "foodie", although Li Ran knows what delicious delicacies are, he can't bear to be so close to the cook.Therefore, if there were no "master chefs" like Guan Cong and Sun Wu, it is obvious that these "delicious delicacies" as Li Ran called them would not exist at all.

But in the same way, what if there are no "eaters" like Li Ran?So is there still a need for a "chef"?
Therefore, in this kind of matter, they really complement each other.

Obviously, Guancong is indeed a "good knife" for raw food, and it is extremely handy to handle.

So Confucius decided to go to Qufu.

Before leaving, Li Ran also sent him out of the city gate, and entrusted him:
"Yang Hu has a lot of tricks, and it is possible for him to serve as an accompanying minister in the future. The reason why he let you go this time is obviously to use the funeral to further frame the Ji family. Although this move is not a gentleman's act , but this is also Ji Sun's old thief's own fault. Besides, if the Ji family does not fall, how can the public office be supported?"

When Confucius heard the words, he naturally understood his intentions, so he said clearly:
"Don't worry, Engong. Although Yang Hu's actions are not upright, I think I, Zhong Ni, am not a pedantic person. I also know what is more important. Ji Sun Yiru has done many injustices, and he deserves it all! Qiu this Let's go to Qufu!"
