Since Prince Zhong and others mysteriously disappeared in the palace, the city closure order issued by Lu jingnian in a rage has not been cancelled. Pei Zan orders the soldiers to find out all the loopholes in the city walls and gates, and block all the places that may go in and out secretly.
One is to prevent Prince Zhong and others from leaving, and the other is to prevent people they are afraid of from sneaking into the city.
But they didn't expect that qianfang and Wanfang didn't prevent Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI. They not only entered the imperial capital without much effort, but also quickly drew up a plan to take Prince Zhong and others to leave.
One morning, more than half a month after the city closure order was issued, a group of soldiers dressed in mourning and bluffing went to the gate. It was not unexpected that they were stopped by the guards.
"Officer, it's a white matter. I can't stop it! Bad luck The flustered old woman grabbed the soldier and said in a low voice, "the people in the coffin died of a violent death. They have a lot of complaints. Today, they must go down to the earth for peace, or they will become fierce ghosts!"
The soldier impatiently pushed away the old woman: "what's the reason for death? You can't go out even if you come! If I let you out, I'll be the one who will become a fierce ghost tomorrow! "
"I don't know! Ghosts and gods need respect. Amitabha, Amitabha... "
When the old woman was flustered and talking, the young woman in plain clothes came forward, wiped her tears, and quietly put a ingot of silver into the hands of the soldiers. With a cry, she said in a low voice, "please do me a favor. I have to send people out today. It has been said for a long time that people who have died violently can't stop in the coffin City, which can't be violated. The area where we live is rich or expensive. If something really happens, we can't afford to offend those masters! "
"That's a saying. I'll really bump into the noble people at that time, and I can't afford to add the heads of these people!" The old woman also came forward to help make peace.
Although the Xiping imperial court did not advocate believing in strange forces and spirits, there were still many people in the folk who held the attitude of believing in them rather than believing in them, especially the funeral customs. If there were no special circumstances, they would usually give convenience. The four soldiers who were guarding the city were a little afraid of what they said. After discussing with each other, they still shook their heads firmly.
"No way is no way. Let you go is our dereliction of duty, which is a felony of beheading! You go back. If you really want to get out of the city, the imperial court will get a pass order. At that time, even if you want us to stop you, we will not stop you! "
After listening to several people's answers, the young woman sat on the ground, covered her face and began to cry: "what should I do? I don't know how much resentment I had when I died, but I was dressed in red Granny Wang, give me some advice. What can I do? If, as the master said, we can't bury ourselves in the earth before sunset and we will be dead, then aren't we... "
"What can I do? I only know that the master is very accurate. If the sun shines on the coffin, I'm afraid it won't wait for sunset -- "
before the old woman finished her words, a sound suddenly came from the coffin that eight people were carrying. Although the sound was not loud, it was very clear at this time, which made the soldiers shiver and chill on their backs.
Coffins are filled with dead people. How can they make a sound? Is
The youngest soldier swallowed his saliva, looked up at the first ray of sunlight shining down from the city wall, and looked down at the coffin that was about to be illuminated by the sunlight. His face turned pale as paper.
"No, no, I'm afraid it's going to be..." The old woman gave a scream, then her eyes turned white and she fell back. Fortunately, she was caught by several young people in mourning.
This situation really frightened the four guards. They quickly retreated to the corner, pointed to the coffin in horror, and kept shaking: "quick, quick! Don't, don't, don't delay! If you want to change ghosts, don't change here. Send them out quickly
The young woman quickly climbed up from the ground and waved to the man who was holding the coffin: "don't you go? You see how scared the officials are! Come on, come on
When they were ordered, they speeded up and went to the gate. However, just as the coffin was about to pass through the city gate, a sudden stop came from behind the procession.
"No one is allowed to go out of the city? I think your neck is itching. Do you want to taste the dog head The bearded generals came on horseback, looked at the soldiers with vegetables on their faces and gave a cold hum. They turned their heads and whipped the coffin with a whip. "Put it down for me!"
The bearers winked at each other and slowly put the coffin down. The young woman hurried to the general horse and gave a deep salute: "Mr. Guan, my daughter is pregnant, but she was rejected by her husband's family. She died of massive bleeding during childbirth. The master said that she has a deep resentment and is afraid that she will become a fierce ghost. Anyway, she must be sent out of the city for burial today. Please give me a hand, or we will be worried about the situation in this city!"
"What's the matter with me? If I let you out, I'll be really upset! " The rough man, who looked like a military general, turned over and dismounted, turned around the coffin twice, and looked at the young woman suspiciously, "why didn't the coffin be nailed to death? Is it a door for ghosts? "
The young woman gave an embarrassed smile: "the official is really good at joking. It was the master's order not to be nailed. He said that he wanted to leave a gap to block the resentment in the coffin by the Yang of the day, and then nailed it before burial. "The general obviously didn't believe it. After a sneer, he kicked the coffin and said in a high voice, "come on, pry the coffin open for me! I have to see with my own eyes what kind of fierce ghosts there are
After being yelled at by the general, the soldiers were not so afraid. They quickly gathered around and guarded a corner, reaching out to lift the lid of the coffin.
"General Liu, wait a minute!"
At the critical moment, a figure rushed to the coffin and pushed the two soldiers away. General Liu was about to get angry. He fixed his eyes on his face and immediately changed into a smiling face.
"It's Feng Zhangshi! Why, are the people in the coffin... "
Feng Wu pressed the lid of the coffin with one hand and glared at General Liu with a grim tone: "my sister is lying in the coffin. General Liu wants to open the coffin by force. Will my sister be exposed to the sun after she dies?"
General Liu quickly took a cold breath and quickly waved his hand: "no, I don't mean that I didn't know that it was the relatives of Feng Zhang emissary, otherwise how could Oh, it's a flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple! "
Fengwu used to be Lu Zhaohui's confidant. Although Lu Zhaohui has become a "late emperor", Fengwu's official position has not been shaken, and his power and status are still there. It is the first-class official who has to yield to three points of Fengzhang.
Feng Wu quickly glanced at the funeral crowd, pretending to be displeased and said coldly: "in this case, can general Liu let go? The sun is coming up, and I don't want any more changes. "
"Yes, I understand." General Liu's tone was submissive, but his words were cunning. "However, sealing the city is the order of the emperor. I have a mission and dare not neglect it, so this coffin Why don't you open it for me? "
Feng Wu frowned, rather reluctant. However, he understood that whether general Liu was afraid of taking responsibility or holding a chicken feather as an arrow, as long as he didn't loose his mouth, these people would not be able to get out of the gate. If he didn't want to intrude, he had to do as he said.
Feng Qi, who pretends to be a young woman, looks up at Feng Qi, who pretends to be a young woman. Feng Wu gets a positive reply from her eyes and nods perfunctorily: "since General Liu says so, I'm not embarrassed. It's up to you to open the coffin, but I won't be responsible for any accident. "
General Liu, relieved, waved his hand and ordered the four soldiers to lift the lid of the coffin.
Dong.
The cover of the coffin fell to the ground, and the face of the woman lying quietly in the coffin was exposed in front of the public. The woman's face was very white, and her expression looked a bit ferocious. Her eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to Fengwu. She really looked like Fengwu's family.
"Well, well, give people a cover quickly, you guys who are not sensible!" General Liu pretended to reprimand the guards, and then apologized to Fengwu.
Feng Wu didn't say anything more. He waved his hand to the funeral procession to get out of the gate as soon as possible.
Out of the gate, out of a mile, the funeral procession has been quiet, or Fengwu first to break the silence.
"I can only help you to get here. You can figure out the rest of the way."
Yan people disguised as funeral procession slowly stop, you look at me, I look at you, and finally all eyes fall on the coffin man. The man holding the coffin was silent for a while. After pulling off his hat, he bowed his hand respectfully to Fengwu: "the prince of Yan is sincere. Remember the great kindness of Fengzhang!"
"You're welcome. I didn't do it for you." Feng Wu raised his hand and declined. He looked back at Feng Qi deeply. "Do you want to go back with me? Or with them? "
Feng Qi lowered his head and slowly faded his filial piety. He said faintly, "home is in the capital, he is also in the capital. Where can I go?"
"That's good." Feng Wu was relieved. She raised her hand and knocked on the coffin. "Girl Bu, come out too. It's so far away from the city that there's no Pei Zan's eyes and ears."
There was a sound in the coffin and it was pushed away from inside. Bu Qingyi wiped off the mask on her face and waved her hand lazily to Fengwu: "I'll keep this account. When it's calm, I'll ask fengzhangshi to have a good meal. My family Mogui cooks in person. I'll make sure you're satisfied!"
Feng Wu did not answer, but looked at the crowd, slightly confused: "he did not come with you? Why didn't you see him? I thought you'd be together. "
"Why are we not together? She has been by your side since just now Bu Qingyi tried to smile and pointed to Fengwu.
Feng Wu looked left and right, and did not see the person who looked like Mo GUI. Just as she was about to ask questions, the silver haired grandmother Wang suddenly stood up and put her hand on his shoulder.
"I'll reserve a place for your brother and sister for the wedding banquet. Please prepare a gift in advance. Of course, if you can bring one for the marquis in white, it would be bette
