Concubine

Chapter 475
Seeing that Yang Tashan was tempted, the girl turned over and knelt down, bowing and kowtowing to Yang Tashan.

Yang Tashan didn't know how much it would cost to buy a coffin and a cemetery?Subconsciously touched the purse in his bosom, turned around and asked the fat shopkeeper next to him: "Shopkeeper, how much does it cost for such a simple funeral in Qingyang Mansion?"

The fat shopkeeper saw that Yang Tashan was tempted to help the girl bury her mother and buy her. Although he felt a little funny that Yang Tashan spent the money for nothing, but he really hoped that this would happen and that the smelly corpse would be taken away. , I can do business myself.

The fat shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, there are big and small coffins, and there are good and bad coffins. However, even the worst cedar plank and thin wood coffins will cost about two taels of silver in the birthday material shop. After all, it is a longevity material; as for the cemetery, it is very expensive, there are hundreds of taels of silver for those with good geomantic omen, and about two taels for those with poor geomantic omen, or generally useless corners.”

Yang Tashan frowned: "The useless place is still so expensive?"

"Of course, guest officer, this is a cemetery. Think about it. Although this cemetery is not big, but it occupies this land, there is no way to use it around here. People think it is unlucky. So, without this price, people can't Not for sale."

Yang Tashan nodded: "Is there any other expenses?"

Before the fat shopkeeper could speak, the little guy next to him said first: "Yes, for this trivial matter, you have to hire someone who digs the corpse and buries it? Give [-] Wen to start money, [-] Wen to wash your hands, a total of [-] Wen, at least two to find, a total of [-] Wen; and then erect a monument, about [-] Wen for general stone materials; About [-] percent. Also, since the deceased is a big one, he has to make a shroud, at least five hundred wen, and also hire a suona player and a drummer, make filial piety clothes, hire a bearer, and buy paper money... "

Seeing that Yang Tashan frowned, the fat shopkeeper said that if the good man was scared away, the corpse would have to stop here, so he hurriedly pushed the waiter: "What are you talking about? You are a rich man doing trivial things? The little girl just wants to find a coffin, find a cemetery to bury her mother, don't let the wild dogs take it away, who are you going to show those flowers?"

The little girl nodded again and again with tears in her eyes: "That's right, it's enough to let my mother die in peace, nothing else is needed."

Yang Tashan calculated with his fingers, two taels for the coffin and two taels for the cemetery, this is the most basic, a total of four taels, it’s fine to dig a hole, you can do it yourself, besides, the five hundred wen of the shroud is not If it is saved, it will be four or two five dollars in total.

How much money do you have? Yang Tashan looked up at the sky and recalled. The boss of the boat gave four hundred cash for a month, and two taels in return for the clothes. , a total of four taels of silver plus eight hundred copper coins (equivalent to the current [-] yuan).

It would cost four or two or five dollars to help this girl with this trivial matter, and I would only have three hundred coins left. Dilemma.

Yang Tashan shook his head apologetically: "Girl, I'm sorry, I... I don't have that much money..."

The girl was disappointed and knelt on the ground weakly, sobbing softly.

At this moment, someone outside the crowd shouted: "Get out of the way! The officials are handling the case, and everyone else is out of the way!"

The crowd gave way one after another, two Tsing Yi policemen walked in quickly, followed by five or six Min Zhuang and Yamen Disobedient.

When he got closer, a policeman pinched his nose: "Damn it, it stinks! What are you doing!"

Just now the waiter in the restaurant hurriedly said: "My lord, this little girl has left this stinking corpse here for two days. It's so smoked that there are no customers in our restaurant. You should quickly think of a way!" The fat shopkeeper He also bowed and begged again and again.

The catcher in front was as thin as a monkey, but he had a shy belly, looking arrogant.The catcher behind him was tall and big, like a black bear, with bushy eyebrows and small eyes, but his two rabbit teeth protruded, and his lips couldn't be covered.

The thin monkey catcher quickly cast a sideways glance at the fat shopkeeper: "This...he sells himself to bury his mother, and his filial piety is commendable...we must let him be a filial piety...cough cough..."

How could the fat shopkeeper and businessman not understand the meaning of the thin monkey catching the fast?Walking over with a smiling face, he took out a sling of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to the thin monkey catcher: "Officer, brothers have worked hard, this is a piece of heart, I will drink tea for all the officials."

The skinny monkey quickly took the hanging copper coin, weighed it, put it in his arms, raised his face, and shouted to the little girl: "This corpse is placed on this street, it is rotten, and the stench is suffocating, hurry up tomorrow!" The old man passed by and smoked the old man, you can afford it!"

The girl saw that he was vicious and carried the magistrate out, her face turned pale with fright, and she looked at them in horror with her frail body trembling as she tightly hugged the grassy eyes wrapped in the dead body.

The thin monkey catcher quickly turned back and shouted: "You guys, hurry up and transport this stinking corpse to a random graveyard outside the city! Hurry up!"

The few Min Zhuang who followed behind agreed, but they didn't come forward, and the disobedient ones had to come up holding their noses and were about to carry the corpse.

The little girl tightly hugged the straw mat that wrapped the corpse, and she would not let go even if she died.The rabbit-toothed catcher in the back was cursing and swearing, stepped forward, stretched out his big hand like a cattail fan, grabbed the little girl like an eagle grabbing a chicken, and pulled it away.

The little girl clung to the straw mat tightly and did not let go, the straw mat was torn apart with a crackling sound, the flies on the body flew up with a buzzing sound, and the crowd of spectators retreated one after another.

Those disobedient officers were about to carry the corpse, but the little girl couldn't move under the control of the rabbit-toothed policeman, and cried out heartbreakingly, "Mom~!"

Yang Tashan felt his heart palpitate, he couldn't care about anything else, he took a step forward and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

The thin monkey catcher quickly waved his hand, signaling the fellows to wait first, then looked Yang Tashan up and down, only to see that he was wearing a green shirt and a short shirt, he seemed to be a coworker or a coolie, he was a bit contemptuous, but seeing his lightning-like eyes, he couldn't help but With a sudden shock in my heart, I couldn't help pressing the handle of the knife, and said fiercely, "You...what do you want to do?"

Yang Tashan clasped his fists together: "Gentlemen, I want to bury her mother for this girl."

Hearing this, the thin monkey catcher quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked it over again: "That's not okay, this corpse smells bad, if you want to do something for nothing, it will delay things, and you have to throw it out of the city as soon as possible Go to the graveyard, otherwise, it doesn't matter if you poison the people, if you poison the magistrate, who will be responsible!"

That being said, the skinny monkey catcher didn't give the order to lift him up. He folded his hands on his shoulders and looked up at the sky with his head slanted.

There was already a precedent of a fat shopkeeper giving gifts to remind him. Yang Tashan immediately understood the meaning of the thin monkey catcher, but he couldn't understand the blackmailing face of the catcher. Please do it conveniently!"

"It's easy to fart, get out...!" The skinny monkey quickly gave Yang Tashan a slap on the shoulder.

Yang Tashan slanted to take advantage of the situation, relieved his palm strength, and then shook his shoulders, shaking the thin monkey back two steps. One arm and half of the body were numb, and there was a cold war in his heart. It turned out that he met a master and looked up and down Yang Tashan in horror.

Catcher Tuya saw that Catcher Thin Monkey had suffered a lot, dropped the little girl, and rushed to Yang Tashan, stretching out his hand to draw the knife, Yang Tashan held down his hand, and Tuya pulled out his milk. With all his strength, but still unable to break free from Yang Tashan's control, his face was flushed, knowing that when he met an expert, he certainly understood the truth that a good man does not suffer from immediate losses, so he quickly unloaded his strength and looked at Yang Tashan with a smiling face .

Only then did Yang Tashan let go of his hand slowly, took out a hanging copper coin from his bosom, and said with a faint smile: "It's too hot today, and I get angry easily, and the two officials are tired from patrolling the streets, this hanging copper coin is for the two of you Please drink some green tea, the official, I would like to ask you two to raise your hands on this girl's matter, thank you very much!"

The two catchers suffered a lot and felt that it was difficult to step down. Seeing that Yang Tashan was not doing anything for himself, he gained the upper hand and gave money, giving the two of them a step down. It also happened to borrow the donkey from the slope.

The thin monkey catcher quickly took the hanging copper coins, changed his smiling face, and said to Yang Tashan with a smile: "Well, it's okay, it's convenient for others, so you should do this funeral as soon as possible, hurry up. Really It stinks!"

"Okay! Please don't worry, sir." Yang Tashan cupped his hands and said.

Captain Skinny Monkey waved his hand quickly, and Captain Min Zhuang and Yamen Disobedient left with Rabbit Tooth.

The girl's face was full of tears, she was overjoyed, felt dizzy, and fell limp to the ground with a thud.

Yang Tashan hastily picked her up, only felt that her body was thin and scaly, extremely frail, he carefully pinched her.After a while, the girl woke up, and said to Yang Tashan with tears in her eyes, "Thank you benefactor...!"

Yang Tashan knew that the girl must be starving, and couldn't help the joy, so she passed out.Busily said to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please bring her a bowl of porridge. If you want it warm, I will pay for it."

The fat shopkeeper quickly agreed, turned his face, saw the boy was still standing there stupidly, and kicked his ass: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up and bring a bowl of porridge!"

The guy quickly ran into the store, and after a while, came out with a large bowl of porridge, and handed it to Yang Tashan with both hands.

Yang Tashan took it and brought it to the girl's mouth.

When the girl saw the porridge, her eyes shone brightly, she held the bowl of porridge with trembling hands, and drank the bowl of porridge in one gulp.
