Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 64
After all, the emperor still couldn't survive this summer.

The emperor who suffered from the disease of willows and flowers had no cure, and finally died on the dragon bed.

Immediately afterwards, King Liang succeeded to the throne and pardoned the world.

Because of his indulgent and unruly behavior during his lifetime, the emperor's posthumous title became Xizong, which fits well with what he did in his life.

Regarding the death of the old emperor, Zhang Xiu was very sad, and ordered the whole government to hold a banquet for three days to celebrate...to express condolences!
As soon as the running water mat in the government office was set up, it really lasted for three whole days, and even the abalone wings and bellies looted from Prime Minister Pang and the others were all used up.

Seeing how sad Zhang Xiu was, the common people all shouted that Master Qingtian is a unique and loyal minister, and they all shed moved saliva...

In fact, Zhang Xiu's consideration was that the disaster in Jinhua had finally passed, and the autumn harvest was coming. No matter what, everyone had to have fun first, so as to relieve the dull atmosphere of the past six months.

Taking advantage of the great event of the emperor's death, the banquet was held smoothly, and the flood incident finally came to a successful conclusion.

The only pity is that the emperor didn't give him a Marquis Dangdang until his death, and the matter of letting Zhang Xiu retire was shelved again.

What the academy gave was that since there is no Marquis title, he should serve as a magistrate honestly, and then consider the matter of him retiring from old age and returning to his hometown.

Zhang Xiu, who saw the reply, was full of depression. In addition to the sultry weather in early autumn, she ate melon seeds and started strolling on the street with her dog legs.

As he was walking, a woman who sold herself to bury her mother came into Zhang Xiu's sight.

The woman was dressed in filial piety, she was as beautiful as a peach and plum, and her expression was as cold as ice.

Occasionally, passers-by who asked her questions didn't say a word, only a few hooligans surrounded her, showing wretched smiles.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help frowning: "The country is peaceful and the people are peaceful under the rule of my master, why is there such a thing as selling her body to bury her mother? My master is kind-hearted, and I can't see such a tragic thing the most. Come on, give this woman to me." I will be expelled from Jinhua Mansion and will never be allowed to enter!"

Woman: "@#￥%￥#@..."

This is completely different from what she thought! !
The woman's name is Hong Fu, and her father lives in Sima. She was framed by her enemy Pang Tong, who confiscated her family's property and left her family homeless.

She ran out with her old mother on her back, and then disappeared. She has been studying art in the mountains for three years.

What she didn't expect was that after her old mother came to Jinhua, she encountered a rare flood and almost starved to death.At this time Zhang Xiu came and helped the people to support her mother.

And, after her mother died, she paid for her mother to be buried.

She was grateful for Zhang Xiu's kindness, and wanted to make a promise with her body, and specially hired a few people to act as thugs, so as to arouse Zhang Xiu's sympathy, but...

Why is this master Qingtian completely different from the living Bodhisattva in the rumors! !
Looking at Hong Fu with a messy face, Zhang Xiu sneered in his heart.

Under his rule, there are such tragic things as selling one's body to bury one's mother?
It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible!

It must be a demon somewhere, let's see that Master Ben sucked her!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu led Ao Xue and came to Hong Fu's body with the white tiger spirit and phoenix chick in his arms, showing a pitiful expression on his face, and asked with concern: "Girl, you Jingyuan...how old are you? Why sell yourself to bury your mother?"

Hong Fu: "..."

You are asking Jingyuan, right? You definitely asked Jingyuan just now!

This Lord Qingtian is most likely a monster! !
The corners of Hong Fu's eyes twitched twice, took a breath silently, calmed down the trouble in his heart, and said: "Return to my son, the little girl Hong Fu, because her mother died and there was no money to bury her, so she sold herself to bury her."

Zhang Xiu showed a smiling face, and said to Ao Xue: "My master is kind and generous, and I hate this kind of thing the most. Bring me the money, and I will pay for the burial of this girl's mother!"

When Ao Xue heard this, she immediately became angry: "You only give me pocket money of five copper coins a month, and you still come to ask me for money!"

Zhang Xiu stared: "Just ask how much money you have left!"

Ao Xue was filled with grief and indignation, as if she was an enemy, she gave Hong Fu a vicious look, and said, "There is only one penny left!"

Zhang Xiu took the penny from Ao Xue, handed it to the woman, and said with a sad face: "Take this money, bury your mother properly, and make her a good coffin, which can be regarded as your filial piety." .”

Hong Fu held the penny in her hand, and was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

This penny can't even buy a coffin board! !

After a while, the contract of selling himself was signed, and Hong Fu legally became Zhang Xiu's servant.

Looking at Hong Fu who doubted his life, Zhang Xiu took the contract and tore it in half, and said with a smile: "My master is kind, now you are free..."

In the next moment, the noise of cheers from the onlookers came to mind on the street.

"My lord is merciful, he is really a kind man!"

"This is our Master Qingtian!"

Amid the booing of a group of people, Hong Fu blushed and looked at Zhang Xiu in confusion.

Nobody even wants to sell themselves for a penny, so is he really that bad? ?
This shouldn't be, when I was in the mountains, my brothers from the same sect were obviously trying to flatter me!

Gritting her teeth, Hongfu mustered up the most courage to be promoted, and said cheekily: "My lord, my little girl has nowhere to go now, just accept me!"

Zhang Xiu glanced at her, and said helplessly: "Since you say so, then...then you stay by my side and be a maid with red sleeves and more fragrance!"

Hearing this, Hongfu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling her self-confidence returned, followed Zhang Xiu back to the government office, and then started to add night fragrance to the bucket...

You said earlier that you are such a red-sleeved woman! !
In the middle of the night, with grief and indignation on his face, Hong Fu poured Yexiang into the bucket, and looked at Zhang Xiu's room with resentment, feeling that this person must have some serious illness, and if he didn't do it, he might be attached to it by some dirty thing dead!

At this moment, a cold and resentful aura floated in from outside, and a beautiful female ghost floated straight towards Zhang Xiu's room, making her slightly stunned.

Immediately after she reacted, it was time to express herself!
Let you underestimate me again, and when you are scared enough, I will show up to save you and let you know how powerful this aunt is! !

Hong Fu thought to himself, with a smile on his face, and cautiously approached the door to prevent Zhang Xiuzhen from having an accident.

Soon, she heard the cry of a female ghost in the room.

"Master Qingtian, I have been wronged... I really didn't come to harm you, please let me go, I won't redress my grievances, I just ask you to let me out... If you do this again, I will call someone! !"

Hearing this, Hong Fu's face suddenly became dull, and she couldn't help doubting her life again: "@#￥%￥#@..."

What's the situation? !
