poisonous woman

Chapter 431
The sky was gray, and a pair of white lanterns hung on both sides of the gate. The iron gate opened slowly, and the sound from the hinge was like a sad sigh. Gu Jinnian and his brothers came out carrying the coffin of Marquis Rong. Before the coffin, smash the earthen basin of burning paper at the gate.

Rong Yao was supposed to do the mourning and driving spirit, but now that he is not around, Rong Zhao will do it.

There is one thing about throwing pots, it must be broken once, and the more broken and louder the better.It is said that this pot is the disaster of the dead, and it can only be taken to the underworld if it is smashed and smashed loudly, so that future generations will have no more disasters.

Rong Zhao raised his head above his head, and fell hard to the ground. The tile basin shattered into the ground with a crisp sound, and suddenly entered Rong Zhao's heart, tears fell down involuntarily and mixed into the tile basin.

In the crock pot are the ashes of the paper money burned in the past two days. After burning the money, Lord Rong will have money by his side after death, and will not suffer in the underworld.

As soon as the crock pot fell, someone shouted "Awaken the Spirit", Gu Jinnian's brothers and the sons-in-law of the Rong family quickly got up to fight, and Rong Zhao picked up the soul-inducing flag and drove away with the spirit.

The formerly bustling Zhuque Street was unusually cold at this time. The doors of the mansions living on this street were strictly forbidden, and those officials who had just come down from the upper palace hurriedly asked the bearers to avoid them so as not to meet them directly.

The white people in filial piety walked to both sides of the coffin, Yin Rou hugged the child and followed Rong Zhao.

Walking to the street out of the city, there were more people gathered, and the common people gathered around the street, whispering a few words from time to time.Or contempt, or sympathy, different attitudes.

The funeral was very cold, without any mourning or joy, only the rustling of scattered paper money falling to the ground.

Rong Zhao calmly faced those different eyes, held his head high, as if he wanted to tell everyone that their Rong family was upright and a clean family.

Suddenly, a person rushed out in front of him. He thought he was still running out to throw things like that day, but he saw that person running over and knelt down in front of the coffin with a plop.

When Rong Zhao stopped, the people behind him also stopped.

"Master Rong, Fang San is here to see you off." The man had tears streaming down his face, and he slammed his head heavily on the ground, "Back then, I was in prison and was framed for murder. It was Lord Rong who was reviewing the file When I found out that the case was strange, I retried it for me. Only then did I know that the real murderer colluded with the officials, and the officials protected each other, deliberately slandering me. If it weren’t for you, you are so righteous, and you don’t go with the dog officials, and reverse the case for me. Now, my room is three mornings I will see the King of Hades."

He kowtowed two more times in a row. This man had a solid eye. He kowtowed three times, and blood was already oozing from his forehead, "Your great kindness, I will never forget it. For the rest of my life, I will treat you like an ox and a horse, and repay the grace of saving my life in this life."

Rong Zhao was so moved that he asked someone to support Fang San. Fang San tremblingly walked up to Rong Zhao, "I know that Lord Rong is definitely not a traitor. He must have been framed. Princess Chu, you have to believe There is justice in this world, one day Lord Rong will be as innocent as I was back then, innocent in the world."

Rong Zhao nodded, bowed towards Wei Wei, and said sincerely: "Thank you." There are not many people in her who can bow, but this one is sincere.

A man ran out from the crowd and knelt before the coffin.Rong Zhao saw that she looked familiar, as if she had worked as a maid in Ronghou's mansion, but she couldn't get her name.

"Master Hou, Lan Qing is here to see you off for the last time." He fell on the ground, "Lan Qing kowtowed to you, and you have a good journey. Lan Qing was a maidservant in Ronghou's mansion back then, and you treated us generously. Excellent. Knowing that my mother was seriously ill and had no money to treat her, I paid for a doctor to treat my mother. Only then did my mother save her life. You saved her. Today, I will bring my mother to see you off. "

She turned her face to look, and a big lady came over, being staggered by someone.Lan Qing stood up and took it. The aunt knelt down on the ground and kowtowed slowly, "Master Rong, you saved the old woman's life. Today, you suffered a tragic accident. We have no ability to exchange this life for you. Today You are going to the funeral, I will come to see you off and kowtow to you no matter what I say."

Seeing the old man kneeling on the ground at such an advanced age, Rong Zhao couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said to Lan Qing, "Lan Qing, quickly help your mother up."

Lan Qing helped her mother up, wiping her tears, and looked at Rong Zhao, "Miss, my condolences."

Rong Zhao nodded, "It's hard for you, you can still come to see my father for a ride at this time."

Lan Qing covered her mouth, tears stained her cheeks, and said, "Your heart is long, we have received the favor of Lord Hou, and we dare not forget it."

From the crowd, many people came from all directions, kowtowing around the coffin, all of them were servants who used to serve in Ronghou's mansion.

"When I was married, Master Hou was afraid that I would be bullied, so he gave me a dowry like a daughter. He treated us servants so well. I don't believe he would do rebellious things."

"I have served Lord Hou for many years, taught by words and deeds, and have been influenced by my ears and eyes. I have heard Lord Hou say that I should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic all day long. How could such a person do such a rebellious thing."

"I see Lord Hou busy with political affairs every day, often working late into the night, a minister who serves the country and the people is visible to the sky."

"Master Hou, the servants are here to see you off."

"Master Hou, you have a good journey."

Looking at this group of people, Rong Zhao was moved. Righteousness always slaughters dogs, and evil is always scholars.At this time, those people who had been on good terms with dad had long since turned into turtles and quails, but these people could appear at this time, regardless of themselves.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Rong Zhao helped one person up, and the others also stood up one after another. Rong Zhao looked at the crowd and said, "Thank you for coming to give my father a ride, I think he can see it." Yes, I am also very grateful to you." Rong Zhao had tears in his eyes, "I am also grateful to you, if I, Rong Zhao, treated you badly before, beat you and scolded you, then this time, I will solemnly say to you I'm sorry, I hope you will forgive me." Rong Zhao bent down and bowed to everyone.

"Miss can't help it, how can you apologize and bow to us?" Lan Qing quickly helped Rong Zhao up.

Others chimed in, "Yeah, no way, no way. We can't afford it."

"My condolences, Miss, you must take care of yourself."

"Everything can pass, this world will not always be dark. You have to believe that one day Lord Hou will be able to clear his grievances."

Some people blamed themselves, "When we received the news, we should have returned to the Hou Mansion to pay homage to the Hou Ye. Now I really regret it. It would be nice to burn incense sticks to him."

"It's because we are timid and dare not go, for fear of being implicated. Miss, I'm really sorry for you, I'm sorry for Master Hou."

"I'm very happy that you can come now." Rong Zhao wiped away tears, put away his tears, and said, "Okay, my father and I have received your wishes. This is an extraordinary period, and I don't want to implicate you , you leave quickly. If the soldiers come later, you will be dragged down. Go back quickly, don’t stand here, let’s all go.”

"Miss, let us follow you and send Lord Hou out of the city." Lan Qing said.

"That's right, we're not afraid of getting involved, the big deal is that we die, just right, follow Master Hou and go down to serve him."

The tears that were finally stopped hung on the eyelashes again, and Rong Zhao choked up and said: "Listen to me, don't be impulsive, the most important thing is to live in this world. It is enough for you to send here, so don't send any more. Go back," looking at the people behind, "Everyone, go back, I promise, one day my father's innocence will be washed away with blood, and my Ronghou's mansion will be glorious again. At that time, I will call you all Come back. Now, you all listen to me, let's go, let's go."

Everyone was reluctant, and kowtowed to Lord Rong three times before leaving.

Rong Zhao turned around and looked at the coffin of Marquis Rong, Dad, did you see that there are so many people coming to see you off.I believe that in your heart, having these sincere people to send you off is much more precious than those who only know how to bow down and step down.Those people, don't ship you.

"Wake up!" Rong Zhao wiped away tears, shouted, and continued to walk forward, her face became more resolute and more proud.

Some people are soft-hearted, and they shed tears when they saw this scene.Some people said the same thing, originally thought that Lord Rong was a treacherous minister, but when he saw so many servants sending him off, his eyes, which were full of contempt just now, were also withdrawn.Some people thought it was just a show, and they still regarded Lord Rong as a traitor.

However, Rong Zhao doesn't care what they think, there is righteousness in the world, and sooner or later, they will be able to see the blue sky through the clouds.Her father's grievances will definitely clear up, and all the truth will be revealed to the world.

When the coffin reached the city gate, a guard guarding the city stepped forward to stop him, "Whose funeral is this?"

It seems that he drank alcohol last night and has not woken up until now. He is drunk, and his speech smells like alcohol.

Rong Zhao looked at him coldly, his eyes were as cold as black iron waves, and the piercing guard immediately became half sober.However, he was still so arrogant, "Why are you staring? I'm asking you, whose family is dead?"

Rong Zhao pulled out a silver whip and hit him on the face, a bloodstain appeared on his cheek in an instant, "Dare to be so disrespectful to this princess, you want to die!"

The half-drunk guard touched his face, saw the blood on his fingers, stared, and was about to draw his knife, "You dare to hit me?"

The other guard heard that Rong Zhao claimed to be the princess, and felt very bad. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, stood in front of him, and saluted Rong Zhao, "Which family does the princess belong to?" He glanced at the coffin, " And who in the house is immortal?"

Rong Zhao raised his head and said, "This princess is Princess Chu, and the person in the coffin is my father, Lord Ronghou."

The half-drunk man is sober now, wishing he could slap himself a few times, why is he so blind and deaf, he insulted the princess, nine lives are not enough.

But on second thought, isn't Lord Rong the same as the traitor?In this way, the fear in my heart was reduced by half.The daughter of a rebellious official and a thief, what is there to be afraid of.

I don't know who gave him the courage to think so, I'm afraid it's really Jiu Zhuang who is cowardly.
