My master is invincible

Chapter 879 Colorful Coffin (2)

At the moment, I asked Han Jingui about the specific situation.

He said: "The deceased was a middle-aged man. He was 47 or [-] years old this year. The host invited some Eight Immortals from our Eight Immortals Palace to visit. Everyone said that this funeral is not easy to handle. I want you to help with it. One Since you became the palace lord, everyone has never seen you carry the coffin or hold a funeral. More or less people are not convinced by you as the palace lord. Second, people who die on Qingming Festival have a strong evil spirit. Everyone wants to see if you have any How capable."

I grunted, and what he said was true. Ever since I took over the Eight Immortals Palace, Lang Gao and I have been working on the construction site, and we haven’t touched funerals at all. Recently, some Eight Immortals have not been as enthusiastic towards me as before. Don't gossip, saying that I became the palace lord only because of the old lady's money, and I have no ability at all.

That's why Lang Gao asked Han Jingui twice every three days if there were any dead people nearby.

People are dead now, but they died on Ching Ming Festival. This matter is really difficult to handle.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Han Jingui thought I was afraid, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, and said: "If it doesn't work, let me do it!"

I gave up and said, "No need, since everyone wants to see me hold a funeral, then do as you like!"

Then, I asked about the condition of the deceased. He told me that the name of the deceased was Song Guangliang. In order to retribution, some people said that Song Guangliang was cursed to death by his nephew.

Hearing this, the former is more common in the countryside, and many people who died in strange ways will be considered to have suffered retribution, but the latter is rarely mentioned, being cursed to death by a nephew?A little nonsense, right?

I asked him why.

He stared at me for a while, then slowly said: "Master, there is a saying in our countryside, have you heard it?"

I asked, "What slang?"

"If you don't shave your head in the first month, uncle will die if you shave your head." When he said this, he kept staring at me, as if he wanted to see something from my face.

Hearing this, I was taken aback. When I was a child, I heard someone mention it. It started when the Qing army entered the customs. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty decided to implement a strange way of governing the country in order to "flatten the surrounding area and stay in the Central Plains". Hair style, "Money Rat Tail" type, all the hair around the head is shaved, leaving only the hair in the center of the head, which is shaped like money, and the hair in the center is braided and drooping, shaped like a rat tail.

As we all know, the land of China has experienced countless dynasties in the past 5000 years. The common people did not act very fiercely about who should be the emperor. On the contrary, it was a change of shaving their heads, which annoyed some of them.

Some ordinary people thought that shaving their heads was an insult to their personality, so they revolted.However, how could the common people withstand the military suppression of the Qing emperor, and with one order, tragedies such as the Ten Days in Yangzhou and the Three Massacres in Jiading occurred one after another.

Humans are afraid of death, and the continuous suppression made some common people suffer so much that they no longer shouted the slogan "the head can be cut off and the hair can't be shaved". Missing is actually nostalgia for the past. In order to deceive people, it is rumored that he is a dead uncle.

What I didn't expect was that this kind of thing would happen in Hubei, so I said to Han Jingui, "This is impossible! It's just that I shaved my head in the first month, so how could it lead to my uncle's death?"

He sighed deeply, and said, "Ai! That's how it is in the countryside. Song Guangliang's brothers have already arrested his nephew and locked him in a woodshed. They said that when Song Guangliang was buried, he would use his nephew Burial."

I froze for a moment, then asked him: "That's their own nephew, how did they do it!"

He smiled wryly and explained: "Master, you may not know the situation of their family. Of the six Song Guangliang brothers and sisters, the first five are all men, and the last one is a woman, who is the mother of their nephew. This woman is better married , have a small family background, and Song Guangliang and his brothers are all honest farmers, guarding a few acres of land at home all year round."

As he spoke, he paused, and continued: "I heard people say that Song Guangliang's brothers often asked their sister to borrow money, but they were all rejected. This made the brothers have no affection for this sister. Over time, the six brothers and sisters met in person. Disagreement. Now that this happened, the brothers would not let this sister go, they planned to extort a sum of money to organize the funeral for the boss Song Guangliang. Who knew that this sister would not do anything at all, and threatened to call the police and arrest his brothers , saying that they privately detained personnel."

When I heard this, I just felt like my mind was in a mess. Just after this guy died, family conflicts erupted. I dare not say who is right and who is wrong.At least, I don't have a good impression of the Song family brothers, nor do I have a good impression of Song Guangliang's younger sister.

"Then what are they going to do with the funeral?" I asked.

"I don't know yet, the body has been left at home, and the funeral may not be done until the brothers and sisters quarrel." Han Jingui explained, and then said: "By the way, Palace Mistress, Song Guangliang died on Qingming Festival. Will it really be retribution?"

I shook my head, I haven't seen the deceased yet, so I don't know how the deceased died. Besides, I don't have a good impression of this family, and I'm not interested in their affairs, so I said: "Wait for them to invite you." The Eight Immortals will talk."

"That's right, we are worrying about this now, we really are just eating salty radish and not worrying about it."

After Han Jingui said this, he was about to leave. I said, "Old Han, stay here for a quick meal, and ask you something along the way."

He was taken aback, but he didn't refuse, so I asked Lang Gao and the others to cook a few dishes in the town, and asked him to buy a few bottles of beer, and we sat around the table to eat.

After drinking for three rounds, Han Jingui saw that I hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked me, "Palace Master, what do you want to know?"

I smiled, raised my wine glass and clinked it with him, and said: "Old Han, we have been in Hubei for more than half a year, and the Eight Immortals Palace is almost completed. Look, Lang Gao and I are planning to go to the Northeast."

I say this because my second brother, Yang Dalong, has called several times recently, asking us to go to the Northeast sometime, saying that we have something to ask for, and I have been working on the construction site during this time, and I just took over the Eight Immortals Palace, trivial matters There were too many, so we kept procrastinating. What's more, the Northeast is Wang Muyang's territory, and the few of us going there rashly may cause trouble.

"Huh?" He didn't seem to be able to react, so he said, "It's better to go to the northeast. There are Eight Great King Kongs over there. Their way of handling funerals is very different from our southern Eight Immortals. You can learn from it."

As he said that, he seemed to think of something, grabbed my arm, and said in a deep voice: "Master, do you want the northeast? No, this is absolutely impossible."
