Jia Yan stared at them and shouted: "You are the ones who killed my daughter." Ding Buhai, who was standing on one side, knelt down and turned blue with fright, saying: "Master, I know you were wrong. You Spare the slave, spare the slave." The old woman knelt behind Ding Buhai, trembling. Jia Yan stood up and stood in front of them and said: "Ding Buhai, do you still remember how you insulted me when I was in trouble? I am a worm, I will repay any kindness, revenge, and hatred. , today I will make you pay ten times the price for the suffering I endured." Facing the left and right, he said: "Blast it out, listen, anyone who is willing to give alms to it is an enemy of me, Jia Yan. I won't let you go, Chengxi Trading Company will be your fate." After saying that, he called the servants to help Ding Buhui out. He pushed behind him and Ding Buhui fell out. He accidentally fell down and stood up again to look up. This Yichun Tower slowly left.
Jia Yan faced the old lady again. The old lady looked at Jia Yan with fear in her heart. She even stuttered when she spoke and said: "Old... Master, slave..." Jia Yan kept looking at it and said: "My My goddaughter was tortured to death by you, a prostitute, and I, Jia Yi, will make you pay the heaviest price." Facing the servants, he said: "Demoted to a low-level prostitute, you will be rewarded with your treatment, and I will order her to receive four people every day. You are a low-class guest." After saying this, dozens of strong men dragged the old woman into the woodshed. The old woman was crying and fussing, and she didn't want to do anything, but these servant insects were strong, how could they resist them, so they were brought in by force. Jia Yan walked up, squatted in front of Chuntao's body, and said softly: "Daughter, your father has avenged you. You should be happy under Jiuquan."
Jia Yi wiped its body personally, sprinkled rose petals in the bathtub, and asked the maid to bathe it so that it could go away refreshed. He also invited the best makeup artist from the termite tribe to give it a beautiful make-up. At this time, Chuntao was lying on the bed as if she was asleep. The servant insect invited craftsmen to build the best coffin for it, and it was buried at the right time. Using mountains and rivers as mausoleums, Chuntao's coffin was kept in the mourning hall for seven days, scented with pine scent. There is a burning lamp under the coffin, and the road to the quiet spring is mostly dark. At a young age, Chuntao is most afraid of the dark. The wizard held up a soul-calling flag to summon his soul. Jia Yi squatted in the mourning hall and kept vigil for him for seven days, and was buried after seven days. The boys who scattered wealth led the way, and the houseworms held up soul-calling flags to lead the way. Later, officers and soldiers escorted hundreds of slaves. Open the stone door and enter the cave, and place the coffin in the main hall of the underground mansion. There are everlasting lanterns on the east, south, west and north of the coffin. The coffin has its head facing east and its feet facing west. There is the sky above, with the sun, moon and stars inlaid with precious stones; below there is the earth, with mountains and rivers made of earth and stone, and rivers and seas filled with mercury. Buried with him were thousands of taels of gold and silver and hundreds of slaves. The tomb was closed, and the slaves suffocated to death within the closed tomb. A monument was erected in front of the mountain tomb, and the most knowledgeable gentleman from the termite tribe was invited to write it, and the most famous stonemason from the termite tribe was invited to carve it. Chuntao suffered a lot during her lifetime, and after her death, she will surely enjoy all the glory, wealth, and food and clothing. This may be the best reward for Jia Yi.
After Ding Buhui was kicked out of Yichun Tower, he was in poverty and his life was even more uncertain. The house leaked and it rained continuously, so he lay in a pile of straw, starving and freezing, and was forced to go out to make a living. None of these merchants dared to offend Jia Yan. When they heard that it was Ding Buhai, they kicked him out and received severe beatings. At this time, he was like a rat crossing the street and everyone was shouting to beat it. It dragged its tired body to the gate of Yichun Tower and looked up at the corpse hanging on the flagpole. This was the old woman of Yichun Tower. She was naked when she died. She was raped during her lifetime. Chong humiliated her to death, and he couldn't bear to see the old woman end up like this, so he had to leave. Looking at the hot steamed buns in the restaurant, I stopped and my mouth watered with greed. I walked slowly and stood in front of the restaurant, my stomach growling with hunger. Seeing that it was in ragged clothes, the restaurant owner said with disdain: "Where are you from begging for food? Get out of here, get out of here, don't hinder my business." Ding Buhao was very smart, pointing behind it and said: "You Look, Mr. Jia is here." The shopkeeper looked behind him to avoid its sight. Ding Buhui took this opportunity to put some buns into his arms and ran away. When the shop owner turned around, Ding Buhai had already disappeared. The shop owner cursed: "You bitch, you dare to rob me of my food." He called a few strong men to catch up and beat him while chasing him. Ding Buhai also picked up the buns and stuffed them into his mouth while running. His sad and joyful expression made Chong feel pitiful. Maybe he ate a little too hard and vomited while eating. He also felt pain in his lower abdomen and rolled on the ground with his belly full. These insects would beat and kick them when they caught up with them, and they would not leave one after another until they were relieved. Ding Buyu curled up and vomited out everything he had eaten. At this time, Ding Buyai no longer had the strength to stand up. He opened and closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly and panted, then slowly calmed down, closed his eyes, and stretched his body slowly, breathing gradually until he died, and his body Stiff, his legs kept shaking slightly, then straightened, lying motionless on the ground. Until the sun sets and night falls, the evening wind blows the fallen leaves and covers them with broken mats. When Ding Buhui was in power, even though he was the steward of Jia's house, Jia Yi's power was so majestic that the people were afraid of him and avoided him. When he died, he could only wrap himself in a mat. How sad was it? How miserable? Perhaps this is why Ding Buhai deserves his punishment.
Jia Yi has made a lot of money from the termite clan and has collected taxes from the border. Now he is as rich as the country. Many people have no way out. Some are afraid of Jia Yi's power, so they dare not speak out in anger. In Gao Yi's family, they are even too poor to open the pot. Gaoyi walked out and looked at the domesticated donkey. The donkey was as hungry as it was and was as skinny as firewood. He fed him some fodder and said: "Donkey, you need to eat more." Then he looked at the old mother lying on the bed, with yellow skin and thin face. , the old man was so hungry that his eyes were dim. He stood on the bed and called out: "Gao'er, Gao'er!" Gao Yi walked in front of the bed where his mother was guarding and said: "Mother." The old mother was already weak in speaking and said: "Gao'er!" Son, let’s go to the market and buy some rice.”
The tall ant counted the coins and walked to the market. These rice markets are contracted by Jia Yi's family, and other rice markets have the same price, which comes from the words of Jia Yi's family. Rice is expensive, but these few copper coins are enough. There is a long queue, waiting to buy rice. At noon, it was his turn to count the coins in his hand. Several evil slaves said viciously: "You can do it with this little money, twenty cents per dou of rice." Twenty cents per dou of rice is a sky-high price, and the copper in Gao Yi's hand is not even one-tenth of it. Gao Yi immediately knelt down and begged, saying: "I have an old mother in the hall who hasn't eaten for several days. Please be kind and give me some rice." The evil slave said: "This is not a charity hall. Go away. , don't hinder our business." Several evil slaves blasted it out. I heard that the price of rice will rise to 30 cents per dou of rice tomorrow. This will not allow the common people to survive, and the ants will have no choice but to return home. Foreign scholars who joined the Termite Clan had to pay a high price to buy an official to work for them. They left the Termite Clan one after another and went to the Ant Clan to display their ambitions. In order to attract insect talents, the Ant Clan built recruitment halls. The Ant Clan's Recruiting Hall is full of talented people. All the talented people from various vassal states are gathered in the Recruiting Hall. Those with outstanding talents can enter and leave the imperial court to serve as officials and participate in government affairs. The ant king listened to the swordsmith's advice and opened up his voice, so that these insects knew everything they could talk about. Gao Yi has no money, and his mother is here, so he can't travel far.
When Gao Yi returned home, his mother asked: "Son! Why did you come back empty-handed?" Gao Yi replied: "Mother, rice is too expensive and we can't afford it." At night, there was heavy rain and thunder. He also heard the screams of the donkey, who was starving to death in the shed. Gao Yi went to the shed with a lantern and stroked its body. Its body was still warm, and its tears were dripping down one by one. It said: "Donkey! Donkey! Even you have left me. God won't give it to us." There is a way to survive." Then he slaughtered the donkey and served it on the table, saying: "Mom! This may be our last meal. If there is meat to eat, let's eat some quickly." After hearing what it said, the old mother felt a little strange. What is the last meal? He said: "You haven't eaten for several days. Eat quickly, eat!" The tall ant looked at the old mother and said: "The son is not hungry. The son is watching the mother eat." Looking at its calm look, it will be sad. Hidden deep within yourself.
Gao Yi returned to his room, dragging the white silk in his hand and hanging it on the beam. He brought a stool, stepped on the stool with both feet, kicked off the stool, and the stool rolled out. Gao Yi had committed suicide by hanging from the beam. Feet swung back and forth in the air, lightning lit up the dark room and thunder rumbled. The next day, my mother entered Gao Yi's room, looked up and saw Gao Yi's cold body hanging on the beam. Putting down its body, he held it in his arms and said: "Son, why can't you think about it so much? I won't care about you if you leave." The old mother was so sad that she even shed her tears and shed a few drops of blood. , said: "Son, my mother will accompany you to the underworld." Holding the tall ant in his arms, he drank poison and committed suicide.
The Gao Yi case was reported to the Grand Sikou Mansion. Si Kou took the case files to the Prime Minister's Mansion and said: "Prime Minister, please save these innocent people. Cases are piling up in the Sikou Mansion." Then he threw the case files on the desk. superior. The house ant looked at the files on the desk and was helpless. The king would not listen to it, and it was grounded. It had no power to use, and looked helpless. Da Sikou said again: "The people have no way to go, so they exchange their children for food." The house ants were startled and said: "I didn't expect that the people's life is so difficult. It's time to rectify it." Da Sikou said again: "The price of rice The price has increased from ten cents per dou to thirty cents per dou of rice. The price is sky-high!" The house ant replied: "I have been banned by the king, and now I have difficulty moving. The rectification will start in the market. I will cut off the branches and leaves of the house ants and collect them. Evidence of Jia Yi's crime." The big commander led his troops into Jia Yi's trading house, caught merchants wherever they saw them, collected the high-priced grains, and sold them to the people at fair prices. Jia Yi gathered officials to impeach Jia Yi in the Prime Minister's Mansion for embezzling money and bending the law, competing with the people for profit, selling his official position and title, and making huge profits.
Jia Yi had already used money to bribe the eunuchs around King Termite. The eunuchs left the palace and entered Jia's house to spread the news. Jia Yi came out to greet him and said with a smile: "General Manager Lao, why are you coming to my house?" General Manager Lao said: "Why? ? Not welcome." Jia Yan smiled and said: "Of course you are welcome, you can come and make my humble house shine." The chief manager walked in and sat in front of the desk, sighed and said, "Why do you think I can do this? Why are you so greedy? I'm on the same boat as you, and the big secretaries are investigating you. The Prime Minister has gathered the officials to impeach you for being corrupt, perverting the law, fighting for profits with the people, selling off your official position, and making huge profits. The Prime Minister has begun to take action, and he will definitely kill you. Yes, alas!" Jia Yan ordered his servants to carry a box of gold and silver, opened it, and it was so golden that it almost blinded it, and said: "These money are all yours, you and I will both lose, and we will both prosper. They are grasshoppers on the same rope." The steward sighed again and said, "Okay, let's go into the palace to meet the king together, and let's plan ahead."
