Chapter 205: The Funeral Parade Blocks the City Gate, Zhou Xin in White!

Outside Hengyang City, the white Soul Calling Banner unfurled in the wind.

The paper money, the sound of crying and howling, was all sombre.

The funeral of the deceased is an extremely ordinary thing.

However, the funeral procession did not go out of the city, but came from outside the city towards the inside of the city.

There are no cemeteries in the city, and there are no cemeteries.

Carrying the coffin and walking towards the city so swaggeringly, how could the guards guarding the city let the other party enter the city?
And the funeral team, driven by the city defenders, not only did not leave, but stopped directly outside the city gate.

The morgue outside the city was so lively that it naturally attracted countless people to watch.

And the city gate was blocked for a while because of these onlookers.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way for those who are watching the excitement ahead! Lord Zhou Wang is here to uphold justice!"

"King Zhou! It's really King Zhou!"

"Lord King Zhou!"

"Lord King Zhou!"

Zhu Huan, who was dressed in a formal attire, was riding a tall horse at this time, and was slowly driving towards this side with a bodyguard.

And with the appearance of Zhu Wei, the people who had been onlookers all spontaneously gave way to a road.

Looking at those guards with long spears in their hands shining coldly, their steps almost uniform, and their eyes full of murderous aura.

There was no trace of panic in the eyes of the surrounding people, but instead, there was a trace of fanaticism.

When these guards came to Hengyang City with King Zhou, they were indeed walking on the street, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, making the common people avoid them.

After all, when these people just arrived in Hengyang City, they were rumored to be burning, killing and looting, committing all kinds of crimes, comparable to bandits.

However, as some rich and unkind people in Hengyang City were gradually eliminated, the situation that none of the ordinary people were persecuted gradually spread.

In the eyes of the people, the personal guards around King Zhou seemed to be their patron saints.

The people no longer feel that these murderous personal guards are fierce.

On the contrary, it is more because they feel that they are kind and give people a sense of security.

"Everyone spread out first, okay? The city gates are crowded, which is not conducive to travel. Everyone, give me Zhu Wei a face and let go of a road for the time being. Letting pedestrians pass through is convenient for others, and it is also convenient for yourself."

"Now, please retreat in an orderly manner."

After Zhu Huan came to the gate of the city on horseback, Zhu Huan frowned slightly when he saw the gate of the city, which was almost blocked by pedestrians onlookers.

When he looked at the funeral procession that stopped not far from the city gate, his expression became even uglier.

Because, on the leader's coffin and the soul-calling banner, there are big words of injustice written on it.

"First, assign a few people to maintain order. Remember, don't drive them away, so as not to cause a stampede."

"As ordered."

After Zhu Huan opened his mouth to appease the surrounding people, his personal guards and city gate guards began to order the traffic in an orderly manner.

The surrounding people were also extraordinarily saving face at this time, following the order of the defenders who commanded order, the traffic was quickly restored to normal again.

At this time, Zhu Wei also brought his personal guards to the funeral procession.

The leader was a young man with an extremely fair complexion.

It looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

However, the other party's eyes were extremely firm at this time.

After seeing the legendary King of Zhou Zhu Wei approaching him, the young man was dressed in filial piety and held a spiritual tablet in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly knelt heavily in front of Zhu Xi.

"White clothed Zhou Xin, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Zhou!"

"White clothes? You are still a scholar."

When Zhu Wei heard that the other party claimed to be in white, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

This white dress is a title given to scholars who have already entered the examination and are eligible to take part in the imperial examination.

It's just that seeing the other party's move to lead the funeral into the city, Zhu Wei's face can't help but become more and more ugly.

"Since you are a scholar, you should know that bringing a funeral into the city is disrupting order. Although this crime is not serious, you can be fined for three years of hard labor!"

"As a scholar, how can you do such a foolish thing?"

"Also, on the day of the funeral, the dead are the most important. How can you write the word "injustice" on the coffin and the soul-calling banner? Do you know that this is a big unfilial act?"

Zhu Huan's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a feeling of calmness and prestige.

After people listened to it, it was difficult to have the courage to look him in the eye again.

With such an aura, Chu Ze and Zhu Di, who were hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but nod their heads.

Apart from other things, at least Zhu Huan has a good grasp of the momentum.

"I really didn't see it before, but the fifth brother can still be so aggressive. Very good, it seems that he is almost [-]% as big brother."

"However... You didn't say that the fifth child will contribute a lot to the whole society in the future? Now that he is the lord of the city, will his contributions disappear in the future?"

Among the crowd, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Huan who was sitting on the horse with an extremely serious expression, which made people dare not look directly at him.

He couldn't help pushing Chu Ze beside him with his hands.

Chu Ze, who heard Zhu Di's question, smiled indifferently.

"The contributions he made afterwards mainly lie in rewriting most of the medical books, integrating and repairing prescriptions, etc."

"But in my opinion, it is easy to cultivate a doctor who cures diseases and saves lives, but it is difficult to cultivate a person who discovers and cures the diseases of the world."

"It's like the king of Zhou today. If he is a doctor, he can cure one person or ten people. However, if he is a person who dares to change the government order, dare to start a new policy, and implement the new policy, then his new policy may be able to save people at once. Down thousands of people."

"Those who don't plan for the world are not enough to plan for the safety of one place!"

"Okay. Maybe what you said is right. But... let's see the excitement first."

During the conversation between Chu Ze and Zhu Di, the man in front of him had already jumped off his horse.

And led people to look at the funeral procession.

Both young and old, the yellow complexion, the tattered clothes on the body, and the wind and sand on the face did not seem to be a temporary thing.

With rough skin and cloudy eyes, it can be seen that these are people who have been farming all year round and have been exposed to the wind and sun.

"Remove the word grievance on the coffin and the soul-calling banner for this king! If there is a grievance, this king will naturally not cover it up. Those who complain of grievances are innocent, but treating the dead like this is disrespectful and disrespectful! This cannot be done!"

"Zhou Xin, right? You stay here and tell me what happened. The others continue to go to the funeral. The dead are the ones who die, and the buried is safe!"

"Thank you His Royal Highness King Zhou! Folks, take off the flag of injustice and go to the funeral!"

After Zhou Xin heard Zhu Wei's words, he kowtowed to Zhu Wei very gratefully, and then got up to greet the funeral procession to return.

And he himself stayed where he was.

"This spirit bit in your hand?"

Zhu Wei looked at Zhou Xin who was still holding the spiritual seat, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Clearly written on the spiritual tablet is, the deceased: the position of Zhao Sanjiu.

But now the one holding the spiritual seat is a young man surnamed Zhou
This thing seems a bit not simple.

"Returning to His Royal Highness Zhou Xin, the deceased was not Zhou Xin's close relatives. This person was named Zhao Sanjiu. Zhou Xin's parents died in the war in the early years. He grew up eating a lot of food. Uncle Zhao has given Zhou Xin alms and saved his life many times! "

"Uncle Zhao died of injustice, so Zhou Xin should sue him in white!"

"No matter what the final result is, Zhou Xin should be responsible for it alone! The folks who came here today were all inspired by Zhou Xin, and I hope His Highness will not be held accountable! Life and death are all up to Zhou Xin alone!"

Zhu Wei looked at Zhou Xin who was about to kneel down again as he spoke.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You are my appetite! Dare to do what you say, encourage the villagers, and bring out the funeral procession to block the city gate. That's all right, you kid is here to complain, and if you say something bad, you are Looking for death."

"Do you know what I did in Hengyang City?"

"Know a thing or two!"

"How to evaluate?"

"To eradicate harm for the people, to kill decisively, to do practical things, but also to offend people. If you are not the prince, you may have died!"

When Zhu Wei heard Zhou Xin's comments, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This Zhou Xin, although he looks young, he likes this energy.

"Tell me, who do you want to sue?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Zhou, what Zhou Xin wants to sue is not one person, but a group, a religious authority!"

"Zhou Xin wants to sue some people who, in the name of monks, took incense money from the people during the day, shouting about compassion and saving all sentient beings. But they secretly collected money and gave out high interest rates to the people. The Buddhist scum of loan sharks!"

"My Uncle Zhao has no son or daughter, and he followed His Majesty to defend against the veterans of Beiyuan!"

"Later, after being injured and retired, the villagers in the village were all well-known benevolent people. Although he was childless, he supported dozens of orphans in the war."

"I, Zhou Xin, am one of them."

"Back then, in order to treat our brothers and sisters, Uncle Zhao had no choice but to borrow ten taels of usury from the Wushan Temple in Hengyang City."

"And my Uncle Zhao is an honest person, even if Yueyue eats less and wears less, he still pays back the money to the temple regularly!"

"But now it has been four years since I paid it back. A few days ago, Uncle Zhao learned that he had repaid 13 taels of silver to the temple in these four years, but now he still owes the temple 170 taels!"

"When I learned about this, Uncle Zhao quarreled with the other party in the temple, but the other party took advantage of the large number of people and beat and humiliated me, Uncle Zhao."

"After Uncle Zhao was beaten unconscious by them, he was directly thrown out of the temple. When he was found, he had already suffered an injury on the way home, and he had already gone!"

"His Royal Highness Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin knows that it is only natural to pay back the debt! But if such a thing that takes advantage of the fire and has no bottom line, after being named, it can be used without any scruples."

"Where is the law of heaven?"
