Chapter 361 Funeral
The news that Li Fan was seriously injured and the funeral was about to be held has attracted attention from all directions, and everyone was waiting! In the city, many people have come to the county magistrate's mansion to mourn Li Fan in recent days.
The aristocratic families became more and more unscrupulous. On the last day before Li Fan's funeral, they plundered and forced the levies to extort, which made the public resentment even more! "Master, those people are so sad that they have been to the mansion since they learned the news that many people have spontaneously arrived in front of the mansion, and they cried so hard that they could not persuade them..." Xiao Liuzi spoke, his face full of emotion.
The simple feelings of the people made him feel a little guilty - after all, Li Fan was not really dead.
"Wait for another day, after which, Linchuan City will become their city of happiness, and the demon will disappear."
Li Fan spoke with a decisive speech.
… “Everything is ready. As soon as Li Fan dies tomorrow, we will immediately depart the car and send it to the centralized warehouse. After the court has checked the accounts, we will distribute it.”
In the county magistrate's office, Mr. Han is reporting the situation to Sun Zhonglin and the heads of various major families.
Everyone nodded, their faces full of joy.
"Tomorrow is such a good day!"
"Yes, Li Fan's beast buried his bones, plus this wave of tax revenue, we can be called a double happiness!"
"Hehe, you forgot?
Once Li Fan dies, those untouchables who dared to cause trouble before can also be curled up. Three joys are right!"
They were all extremely happy.
A cruel and ferocious smile appeared on Sun Zhonglin's face and said, "Tomorrow, the full responsibility will be left to Mr. Han. As the governor of Linchuan County, I have to send him a trip..." "In addition, I will send someone to stare at Li Fan's grave. After the funeral, I will dig out his body immediately. I want to whip the body!"
...The day passed quickly.
The weather became even colder, and in the sky of Linchuan County, light snow finally started to float.
This is the second snowfall in Linchuan County.
In the first snow, Linchuan City had almost no feeling, and the snowflakes disappeared in the air. Instead, it was a place like Zhengyang County, where the snow was deep and the snow scenery was very beautiful.
Now Xiaoxue in Linchuan City is much gentler, only a thin layer.
If the heavy snow in Zhengyang County is like a white feathered robe covered with the earth, it is just like a thin mourning garment made of linen.
The eaves corners turned into icicles, hanging upside down, like rows of sharp teeth.
Many people, when they opened the door and wore not too warm clothes, walked towards the snow and ice outside.
Their expressions were so sad that many people spontaneously tied white cloth on their heads and shoulders, and they gathered towards the Central Street.
Outside the county magistrate's mansion, two teams were arranged in the upper and lower parts of the mansion wearing mourning clothes.
Three deaths sounded.
Countless people gathered on the avenues on both sides. There were many people, but the scene seemed extremely quiet. Only the sound of cannons sounded in the air, like a powerless roar.
"Monkey King Sun Zhonglin is here!"
A shout rang out.
Sun Zhonglin came! For a moment, the people around him turned their heads and looked in the direction of the carriage. When they saw Sun Zhonglin walking down from the carriage, everyone's eyes were filled with hatred! "He still has the face to come!"
"How is this beast worthy of attending Lord Li Fan's funeral?"
"It is very likely that Lord Li Fan was killed by him. This bastard! I wish I could suck his tendons!"
Countless people gritted their teeth, and new hatreds and hatreds almost broke out at this moment.
However, Sun Zhonglin just sneered, and waved his hand, and a subordinate next to him rolled up his black sleeves and put them on, very casually.
When I got here, I put my sleeves on my back in public, which shows my arrogance! "Lord Li Fan is a talented person! He is the savior of our entire Linchuan County! It is the sky of countless people in the city. Now that he is dead, it is a pity to die!"
He spoke up as if he pretended to behave, but the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was not concealed! "I am the lord of Linchuan County! I am the parent of tens of thousands of people in the city! I am naturally obliged to represent the people of the whole city and county to send Lord Li Fan on his last journey!"
Speaking of the words "The Lord of Linchuan County" and "Ten Thousands of Parents and Officials of People", the tone became stronger. There is no doubt that he was telling everyone that he was here! He wanted everyone to understand that in Linchuan County, he had the final say! "I believe that Li Fan would be very happy and happy to see him send him!"
In his words, there was a hint of resentment, and a ferocious pleasure in his heart! After waiting for so long, he finally waited for this day! After saying that, he ignored the whispering and cursing and hatred eyes of the people around him, and stepped directly to the county magistrate's mansion! When he walked to the door, he looked at Xiao Liuzi contemptuously, patted Xiao Liuzi on the shoulder casually, and sneered: "Young man, follow Li Fan, you will definitely not regret it!"
The word regret is even heavier! Then he entered calmly.
"Old beast...wait for me to set fire to you!"
A ruthless look flashed in Xiao Liuzi's eyes, but he said nothing.
"Mr. Lin Jianshen is here!"
At this time, another shout was heard, and a carriage with a white banner was parked in front of the county magistrate's mansion.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Jianshen walked out of the carriage. A white cloth was already wrapped around his shoulder. He looked extremely sad and haggard. At first glance, he was so sad that he could not think of food and food! "Mr. Li, Lord Li... God is jealous of talent!"
As soon as Lin Jianshen got off the carriage, he burst into tears! Zhao Qing supported him and walked into the county magistrate's mansion step by step.
"The General Zhao Nantang, the National Protection General, is here!"
Another shout, the carriage from Zhao's mansion also arrived, Zhao Nantang and Zhao Xuening walked down.
Zhao Nantang looked silent. When he saw Lin Jianshen in front of him, a feeling of shame flashed in his heart, but he could not do such good acting skills. He could only sigh deeply, reveal a look of regret, and walked in.
Zhao Xuening followed him, with tears on his face.
Sun Zhonglin, who had already entered the county magistrate's mansion and stood in the mourning hall, saw Lin Jianshen and Zhao Nantang walking in with such a look, the smile in his eyes became even stronger! He was extremely proud. He stood aside and looked at Li Fan's coffin with contempt and sneered: "Little beast, it's a pity, you died too early!"
… “The Governor of Yangzhou Heliancheng is broken!”
"Gao Nan, Zhili, Yangzhou, is here!"
After Lin Jianshen and Zhao Nantang entered, two shouts continued.
Helian Chengpo and Gao Nanshi are also here! - After fighting with Li Fan for so long, they suffered countless great losses. It can be said that there is almost a deep hatred between Li Fan and them. Now that Li Fan is dead, they have no reason not to take a look.
Heliancheng broke out of the carriage, with a cold look on his face. Helian Xiyue stood beside him, with a calm and indifferent face.
"Mr. Helian, please!"
Gao Nanshi and Zhou Wenyuan walked over, and a smile appeared on Gao Nanshi's face.
Zhou Wenyuan had a proud face and stared at the county magistrate's mansion with his eyes straight. Looking at the white lanterns, elegiac couplets hanging on the mansion, his heart rapidly expanded. The confidence and pride that had been dead for a long time grew rapidly at this moment! "Let's go in and take a look. Li Fan is a talented man in Yangzhou. How can he do if he doesn't give him a ride?
!”
Heliancheng broke Lengbing and opened his mouth.
The group immediately walked in.
Once upon a time, when Li Fan was in the prison of Zhengyang County, these people gathered in Zhengyang County once.
Now, Li Fan has been lying in the coffin, and they are here again! "Greetings!"
The person in charge spoke loudly.
Many guests saluted collectively in front of the mourning hall.
“[ www.boquge.xyz] Mourning!”
The person in charge spoke loudly.
Li Fan's coffin was lifted up heavily.
The grave is at the foot of a mountain in the outskirts of the city.
Lin Jianshen and others walked with the coffin.
The coffin was carried from the county magistrate's mansion to the streets of Linchuan City. On both sides of the street, countless people were wearing mourning clothes and followed Li Fan's coffin.
"Mr. Li Fan, Lord. Li Fan! You have a good journey..." An old man held a soul-suming banner in his hand, cried bitterly, and knelt on the ground.
"Mr. Li is well, we will always remember your kindness..." Some men shouted, with a sound of grief in their voices.
"Brother Li Fan is back to heaven, Brother Li Fan, will you continue to bless us when you return to heaven as a star?..." A little girl wiped her tears, dragged her torn cloth shoes, and ran with her coffin.
...The city was moving! When everyone present was shocked when they saw the people coming to attend the funeral on both sides of the street.
"Mr. Li Fan is in Zhengyang County. The people of Zhengyang County offer cloth, write blood letters of the people, and sit in front of the prison to protect him... Now Lord Li dies in Linchuan County, and Linchuan is in funeral all over the city..." Zhao Qing suddenly felt a sense of heaviness, that sense of heaviness, from every face with tears from all directions, every cry full of affection... Maybe it should be like this for an official?
He was complicated.
"If the emperor could see this scene with his own eyes, perhaps he would be relieved... Daxi is saved..." Lin Jianshen also sighed deeply in his heart, and the old eyes were filled with emotion.
This kind of scene was only more than twenty years ago when Wu Tiangu sent troops to the people in a certain city, and fought against the Hu people with 3,000 iron soldiers. In the end, he returned with blood. He was only there... They were all fighting for the people. Wu Tiangu was on the front line, and Li Fan was in the court.
"General, he looks like you..." Zhao Nantang sighed.
Zhao Xuening's beautiful eyes were deeply shocked, murmured: "Those who have original intentions will win the hearts of the people..." Helian Chengpo, Gao Nanshi and others had extremely gloomy faces! There was even a hint of fear in their eyes.
So many people! They are actually here to attend the funeral.
This is very terrible! In addition to being frightened, they also felt unparalleled glory! Fortunately, Li Fan was dead.
"Luckily he died, otherwise, in a few years, no one in the court can control him..." Helian Xiyue's beautiful eyes flashed.
"What a pity..." Gao Nanshi shook his head slightly.
"A bunch of untouchables! A bunch of untouchables!"
Sun Zhonglin clenched his fists tightly, wishing to kill all the people who came to the funeral!... The eyes and attention of the whole city were all about Li Fan's burial.
The moment Li Fan's coffin was carried out from the County Magistrate's Mansion, the news had already reached the County Magistrate's Mansion! "Mr. Han, Li Fan's coffin has been carried out and is now heading towards the cemetery. Countless people in the city are attending funerals."
The messenger who came to report the news looked at Mr. Han who was writing, but noticed the black sleeves on Mr. Han's hand, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sir, on your arm..." Mr. Han finished writing the last stroke in the account book and raised his eyes. There was a hint of complexity in his eyes, both relaxed and regretful.
"Today, the city is buried, put on sleeves and show your heart and respect."
Without hiding it, he then relaxed and said, "Notify and start."
Start! After his order was issued, countless people from the county magistrate's mansion gathered in front of Okura, the official government of Donglin County.
Almost all the money, grain, etc. collected are here.
They quickly moved their money, supplies, etc. from the warehouse quickly moved outward.
And outside, there were carriages waiting for a long time! The most trusted confidants of various major families were already driving here.
Chapter completed!
