Chapter 521 The Word of Filial Piety

It was night, dark clouds rolled in, the moon was dim, and the evening wind whizzed by suddenly. The wooden door of the small temple in the mountain kept opening and closing. After repeated several times, a figure finally flashed out and gently put the wooden door on the bolt.

"Lao Qi, you are back, how is the situation?"

Two people came out from the dark, one of them lit a candle, and the light of the fire was uncertain, and the three of them got together and sat on the ground.

These three people are the killers of the Blood Ghost Hall. This group of people is active in the dark, and each has their own identities on the bright side, so they never know each other's names. They are usually called according to the order of entering the hall. The brothers called him ghost seven, or old seven.

Ghost Seven had a black cloth hanging on his face, as did the other two, using it to cover their original faces.

After the three of them got together, Gui Qi said in a deep voice: "Boss, Lao Jiu, I have found out that the kid came to Sichuan with a member of the Beggar Gang, and he is indeed working as a handyman in Qingcheng faction. There is no problem with the information given by the master."

The two people on the opposite side looked at each other, and the younger Gui Jiu said first: "Forgive me, if you come with the Beggars' Gang, does the kid have any connection with the Beggars' Gang?"

"Maybe," the older ghost said, "But if it's an ordinary child, they wouldn't bother to ask us to do it."

"The boss's words are right. If that's the case, then let's do this business?" Gui Qi made a knife with his hand and made a murderous gesture.

The ghost nodded: "I'm fine, old nine, what do you say?"

Gui Jiu didn't reply for a long time, he seemed to be a little hesitant, when the ghost saw it, he frowned slightly: "Old Jiu, if you have trouble, don't hide it, just speak it out, we'll find another brother."

The members of the Blood Ghost Hall do not have a fixed combination, and they often come for business. Whoever looks first will do it, and the team members are also improvised.

After being silent for a moment, Ghost Nine said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I just lost my mind, I have no objection, this business can be done."

The ghost glanced at him, and then said: "Since everyone agrees, then according to the old rules, two people are responsible for attracting the attention of the Qingcheng faction, and the remaining one is to get rid of that brat. Which one of you two will come? Let's talk first." , I never kill brats."

Ghost Seven shook his head and said, "I don't want to kill children either."

Ghost Nine nodded in a muffled voice: "Both brothers don't want to kill, so I'll leave it to my younger brother to do it for me, but I want to share more."

Ghost One and Ghost Seven looked at each other and nodded: "No problem, if this deal is done, you will share the bulk."

Ghost Seven had no objection either. After discussing the matter of sharing the money, Ghost Nine went on to say: "I got the news that in three days, Master Yushu will go to the Emei Sect. I suggest that we do it at that time."

Ghost Seven looked at him in surprise: "Okay, Lao Jiu, you can get this kind of news, I can't tell that you are usually like a boring gourd, and you are quite capable."

Ghost Yi said happily: "It is indeed a good opportunity from heaven. The old Taoist priest Yushu is not here, so the risk of our work will be a little less, so it is decided."

Immediately afterwards, several people discussed some details, and after finalizing all the issues, they left the small temple one by one and disappeared under the night.

Ghost Nine was the last to leave. He first walked towards the city, then suddenly changed direction and went towards the direction of the Qingcheng faction.

Along the way, Gui Jiu took off his night clothes and veil, turned around and put on the clothes of Qingcheng disciples. He walked back and forth quietly without attracting any attention.

When he returned to his small courtyard, he saw that the lights in the room were still on, and a gentle warmth appeared on Gui Jiu's dull face.

He pushed the door lightly and entered, and the woman who was doing needlework stood up to greet him, and he hurriedly said: "Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me, you have to teach the disciples of the outer sect tomorrow, so you should rest early at night." .”

Although it was a rebuke, it was sweet to hear.

The woman smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, just do some needlework to pass the boredom, I forgot the time before I knew it, sit down quickly, I left some food for you, use some."

Ghost Nine's eyes are full of tenderness: "Okay."

When the woman brought the food, the two sat quietly facing each other. After tasting the food, Gui Jiu was full of praise: "Junior Sister's cooking is still so good, it's my luck to marry you."

The woman was a little shy, and said angrily: "What did you say all of a sudden——"

As she said that, the woman took out some silver and handed it to the other party, and said in a soft voice: "A few days ago, my brother came to Qingcheng to visit me. Come to these taels"

Gui Jiu's expression was complicated. Seeing his wife's appearance of no powder, no jewels and no emeralds, he couldn't help feeling a little bit bitter. After taking a deep breath, he returned the silver to his wife the same way, and said softly: "Junior sister, don't have to do this." , I know that my brother-in-law doesn't have a good relationship with you, so you should take back the money quickly."

The woman said anxiously: "But Master!"

Gui Jiu said with a heavier voice: "Junior Sister, some of us senior brothers will handle this matter. It is enough for you to have this kind of heart. You don't have to wrong yourself like this. Besides, don't worry, I have already found a way to get money." , will soon be able to bring Master back."

Ghost Nine's real name is He Feiyang, and he is an inner sect disciple of the Qingcheng School. He has already entered the world and married a wife. Flying unforeseen disasters broke the tranquility.

The reason for this can be summed up in one sentence. He Feiyang's master is named Nanshan Immortal.

Nanshan Immortal was involved in the imperial court's rebellion case, and had already been beheaded, but the matter did not stop here, except that the Qingcheng faction had to find a way to deal with the imperial court's accountability, and was desperately trying to find a way to get rid of this matter, but also There is one important matter, and that is the funeral of Nanshan Immortal.

The Nanshan Immortal died, but his body remained in the capital. According to the court's regulations, the criminals in such a serious case ended up in the wilderness. They were not allowed to be buried or sacrificed. They could only be a lonely ghost.

However, although the law is dead, the executor is alive. Over the years, many Confucian scholars have talked about benevolence, righteousness, propriety and trust in this regulation. They really don't care about the bones of their ancestors.

Ever since, there appeared such an unwritten rule, that is, except for those who have committed serious crimes that His Majesty decreed to destroy their bones and ashes and not allow them to exist in the world, the rest of the criminals can spend a sum of money from their families after death. Redeem the dead body back.

What He Feiyang and the others had to do was to buy back the corpse of the Nanshan Immortal from the imperial court so that they could be buried alive, so as to fulfill their filial piety as disciples.

However, this matter is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. In the first half of this matter, it is very simple to redeem the corpse with money. Because this is an unwritten rule, the general government people just collect some of it symbolically. thing.

But the second half of this matter is difficult to move forward. People like He Feiyang have the money to buy it, but the people in the imperial court have no courage to sell it, because the Nanshan Immortal is involved in a major case of murdering the emperor. Aren't they all going to be unlucky?

Therefore, the difficulty for people like He Feiyang to do this actually lies in how to get through the joints in the yamen. The money that needs to be spent here is not the same as buying the corpse.
