Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 72 The Insidious Zhang Qiyuan
The funeral was held in a low-key manner, Wang Xiu didn't show up, but He Wei came out behind the scenes to buy a high-quality coffin, buy shrouds and funeral objects for the old man, and quietly went out of the city to be buried the next day.

In front of the old man's tomb, he in white robe stared at the tombstone with neither sad nor happy expression. It was processed overnight and was very simple without any extravagance. It was only engraved with "Tomb of the Nameless Old Man in Wanqiu" in block letters.

After a while, he turned around and glanced at the children in sackcloth and filial piety, and said slowly: "Keep everything simple, you just burn the paper money, and as for avoiding evil spirits, I will go back to Shangshui after the results are released, and you also have to follow. Just let it go!"

"Thank you uncle, if it weren't for uncle's benevolence, I am afraid that grandpa would have to be cremated without leaving any bones." Zong Liang was the oldest and took the lead in kowtowing to Wang Xiu.

He Wei also sighed softly, and said to himself: "What a misfortune, and what a blessing, the old man will not have to suffer from the deepening of the fire, and will not have to enter the Louze Garden and bend his body nine feet away."

In the Song Dynasty, cremation was quite popular, not only popular among the common people, but also among the scholar-bureaucrats. Ren Suo was too far away to die suddenly, and the body could not be transported back to the ancestral home. Bringing the ashes back home was repeatedly prohibited by the imperial court, and they even buried them on the ground nine feet, but they still couldn't completely stop them.

There is no way, sometimes it becomes a custom when more people use it.

"Okay, don't talk about this, the dead are gone, you still have a long way to go! You have to look forward." Wang Xiu sighed, the old man's death touched him a lot, a life, even if it is dying The life of an old man leaves him within a day, and the moment before he was still talking and drinking, and when he wakes up, Yin and Yang are separated. Anyone can form a huge psychological gap, even if they are mentally prepared.

"Everything is up to the uncle." Zong Liang stood up, stood beside Wang Xiu, looked at his brothers and sisters, and said sadly: "What are you going to do?"

"I listen to my brother."

"Uncle is willing to take us in?"

"Uncle, take us in."

The children were in the grief of losing the elderly, and they were all eleven or twelve-year-old children. They didn't think too much. Li Caiwei cried the most sadly, her beautiful eyes were red and swollen.

"Stay for a while, everyone go back first!" Wang Xiu didn't want to be too hasty, he had to stay in Wanqiu for a while, and let the children slowly resolve their grief.

Zhang Qiyuan was quite unlucky, he failed to plot against Wang Xiu, but was envied by Zhu Rong, and was approached to scold him severely, and was about to punch him.

But who is he?The son inherits the father's nature, the blue is better than the blue, the appearance is gentle and elegant, but the heart is extremely fierce, Zhu Rong is a dude, how can he be his opponent, just when Zhu Rong is about to make a move, his face changes, and he sternly said: "Zhu Rong Brother, you don't understand that disaster is imminent, and you still want to find me, I really don't know what you think."

Zhu Rong was taken aback, the ferocity he just mentioned dropped by three points, and he still said in a bad tone: "Don't argue, what is the relationship between Wang Xiu and the young master of the Shen family? Without saying a word, you still want to instigate me to offend, saying, what are your intentions?"

"Confused, you are so confused." Zhang Qiyuan pretended to be angry, and said sharply: "When did I ask you to offend him? You said that I am his classmate, but for the sake of the test, I stayed behind closed doors and kept my ears open. About the matter outside the window, you can ask Shang Shui Shizi what kind of person I am. Besides, even if I know, did you give me a chance to tell you? Didn’t I tell you everything I know, his relationship with the He family and his son? Didn't I say it?"

Zhu Rong was taken aback, but it was the same in retrospect. Since Zhang Qiyuan was willing to confront the three of them, it seemed that what he said was true. Thinking about what happened the night before, he was in the middle of the fire, but he didn't give Zhang Qiyuan too many opportunities to speak. Wang Xiu's relationship with Wang Xiu, but can't remember many things.

With this level of consideration, he accepted Zhang Qiyuan's statement psychologically, but he still couldn't save face, and said viciously: "I don't believe it. You are in Shangshui County. You don't know about his relationship with Shen Mo, and you don't even know about it."

Seeing that Zhu Rong's tone softened, Zhang Qiyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly acted angry, and said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? I don't have a close relationship with Wang Xiu. My father has conflicts with the Wang family in business, so how can we get close to him?" ? Even if there is a few words, it is vague, how can I know the relationship between him and the young master of the Shen family."

He paused, glanced at Zhu Rong, and saw that the other person's face gradually softened, and said angrily: "Didn't I suggest you use a public servant to solve it the night before? No matter how good the relationship with the young master of the Shen family is, once it is judged publicly, He can't get away with the crime of hurting people. I don't know what happened, the gentleman would go away, you should never have done it, but I didn't have the opportunity to persuade you, and in the public, you will attract trouble."

Zhu Rong's face froze, and his expression gradually eased. There was even a flash of shame, hesitatingly said: "Brother Zhang, I was the one who made Meng Lang, and my father said the same thing about me. Brother Zhang won't be offended, right?"

When Zhu Rong was ashamed, Zhang Qiyuan sneered coldly, pretending to be gentle and said: "It seems that the shopkeeper knows Wang Xiu quite well?"

"That's not true, I was very unlucky. My father was having a drink with Master Zhizhou that night. Wang Xiu didn't know what kind of shit luck he had, but he was summoned by Master Zhizhou, which made me very ugly. When I went home, my father Swear at me." Zhu Rong thinks about his father's anger, and he still feels cold even now.

"There is such a thing, Master Zhizhou met Wang Xiu?" Zhang Qiyuan was taken aback, this matter aroused his attention, if Wang Xiu got involved in the state, it would be no fun.

Zhu Rong didn't know what Zhang Qiyuan was thinking, and he said heartlessly: "Master Zhizhou invited Huainan Road, who was passing by, to promote Changping's official business. He knew that Wang Xiu was also drinking. However, my father said that the young master of the Shen family was willing to take the second place. This kind of person was not to be offended, it was really mysterious at the time."

"If it's true, then I can't afford to offend you!" Zhang Qiyuan smiled sinisterly, and said playfully, "It's a pity, Brother Zhu has to swallow the humiliation, because there are people above him!"

With a thought in his mind, Zhu Rong looked at Zhang Qiyuan suspiciously, and said, "Brother Zhang, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhang Qiyuan curled his lips, with a look of disdain, and said: "To tell the truth, Brother Zhu, I just said that the relationship between my father and the Wang family is not very good, and I have also been humiliated by Wang Xiu. It would be a good thing to make him deflated, and I have a good idea."

Although Zhu Rong was quite afraid of being scolded by his father, he was unwilling to reconcile in his heart. The seeds of hatred planted by Zhang Qiyuan unknowingly germinated, and the hatred in his eyes became more intense. Once, the deal was quite a bargain, and his eyes lit up when he heard it.

What Zhang Qiyuan wanted was this effect. He didn't need him to come forward directly and find a dead ghost to fight Wang Xiu. It would be better to cripple Wang Xiu and cut off his career path. If he didn't succeed, he wouldn't be found. Instigating a fool in another county, he has the means to clean himself up.

What's more, Zhu Rong still has a slap in the face with him. He is the one who will take revenge, and he has no reason to let Zhu Rong go. Why not kill two birds with one stone.

"I'm afraid Wang Xiu will be able to talk to Master Zhizhou." Zhu Rong was still worried. He was a villain, but he was used to bullying.

"Brother Zhu is so confused!" Zhang Qiyuan looked distressed.

Zhu Rong was startled, and hurriedly asked: "What?"

Zhang Qiyuan sighed for a long time, and said, "Do you think Wang Xiu can hold grudges? Do you know him, or do we Shangshui people know him?"

Zhu Rong shivered in shock, "Why didn't I expect that Wang Xiu only needed to send a letter to the young master of the Shen family. But, Lord Zhizhou."

"You are so confused, Wang Xiu and Mr. Zhizhou just met once." Zhang Qiyuan did not continue, but only sighed, and said: "I will not say more, so as not to be a villain in vain, and let Brother Zhu misunderstand. "

"This. This. Brother Zhang, forgive me, I am not apologizing to Brother Zhang." Zhu Rong bowed deeply to Zhang Qiyuan.

"Okay, we brothers still have to meet outsiders, don't let outsiders laugh at us." Zhang Qiyuan smiled smugly, knowing that he had succeeded.
