Three days later.
Tong Yanhuo's funeral was held grandly in Fucheng, Qiongzhou Prefecture.
The solemnity mentioned here mainly refers to its high standard, which has greatly exceeded the local etiquette.
Not to mention the musicians, there were about thirty people invited. In addition, there were eminent monks who could achieve bliss and Taoist priests who would lead the way to hell.
Since Tong Yanhuo did not understand the five tones and did not know the five music during his lifetime, this also corresponds to the old saying: if you don’t recognize the sound of the suona when you first hear it, you will be a person in the coffin when you hear it again.
After the funeral, Qi Yu, Peng Wenchang and all the officials in the government personally supported the funeral and gave this loyal and upright hero a grand burial with the highest etiquette of Qiongzhou Prefecture.
A rich burial?
This time, it's definitely true.
Not to mention anything else, the pillar-level golden nanmu coffin board sponsored by the Hai family alone is worth more than 5,000 taels of silver. If converted according to jin taels, it is almost equivalent to silver casting. As far as the quality of this rare wood is concerned, even if it is not brushed with even a little bit of tung oil, it will not deteriorate for hundreds of years.
This funeral attracted not only official attention, but also public response.
After the common people were shocked to learn that the hero who loyally protected the Lord had passed away, they spontaneously organized long queues to remember him and bid farewell with tears. It can be seen that under the influence of Qi Yu's strong promotion of civility, the three views of Qiongzhou people have become more and more pure.
The literati were not idle either. They cried out in grief in the "Qiongzhou Xunbao" and sent their own words of praise: Wow, even if you are a chivalrous person, you are not ashamed to be a hero in the world!
Huang Fei burst into tears and mourned: "Old boy, if I'm not afraid of your jokes, in order to avoid your violent beatings, in the past two years, I have been dodging as far as I can... But From now on, even if I want to be beaten by you, I won't be able to."
Those who also suffered from Tong Yanhuo’s fists were the knights under Duan Zicheng. They also burst into tears and said: "Senior’s martial arts have reached the ultimate level. Perhaps the only ones that can hurt you are those overbearing firearms... "
"Senior, walk slowly..."
"..."
Although Leng Qing and Tong Yanhuo had only a casual relationship, they came over to see them off. We are both martial arts practitioners, so respect is indispensable.
Qi Xiaotong, who deeply blamed herself, even burst into tears. However, after this period of pear blossoms and rain, she seemed to be a little more mature.
Before the funeral began, many people thought that although the scene was grand and extraordinary, it must be deserted in terms of human ethics and etiquette.
oh? What do you think of this?
The funeral is the highlight of the filial sons and grandsons of the deceased. Since Tong Yanhuo had no relatives during his lifetime and left no descendants, who would throw the funeral pot for him?
In fact, it's the complete opposite.
Look, the mourning group was all made up of filial sons. They all wore sackcloth and mourning, and they cried so much that it moved the heavens and the earth, showing their true feelings from the bottom of their hearts.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they were all orphans taught by Tong Yanhuo. At this time, it was their only chance to repay their kindness in their lives.
All in all, this funeral was very beautiful and grand.
…
After finishing the funeral arrangements, Qi Yu began to get busy.
Take care of business first.
First, there are two letters, one public and one private.
The official letter was naturally the one written by Qi Jing. At this time, it had already been opened after all the officials had gathered and decided, and proper arrangements had been made for the entrustment of the horseshoes mentioned in the letter.
Qi Yu not only had no objection to this, but also praised his wife for handling it properly.
The only thing left is how to deal with Donglu.
Qi Yu clearly wrote in his reply that the high-pressure situation must be maintained against this clan and must not be allowed to develop or grow, otherwise it will become a disaster in the future.
Yes, how can the historical tragedy of the Three Massacres in Jiading on the 10th in Yangzhou be repeated?
For the sake of the common people in the world, we must nip the potential catastrophe in the bud. We would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist. We must be prepared.
Let’s talk about the second letter, which is the private letter.
As the name suggests, private messages are personal to private. No one can open them without permission, not even Liu Quan. This is basic morality. Therefore, that letter remains sealed to this day.
According to his personal habit, Qi Yu first looked at the signature after opening it. At a glance, he saw that it was Yin Jun.
Browse!
However, after reading it, Qi Yu quickly set fire to it, turning it into ashes. Then, with a pinch of his hands, it was completely destroyed.
I saw him murmuring: "The white-faced man said that the treasure of the sea was lost in the world.
The land of Fujian and Guangdong, is it true or false? Sigh...I didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters, but no matter what he said, it seemed that I had to pay attention..."
After answering the letter, Qi Yu quickly rode a fast horse to the hospital.
Go to the hospital again? What to do?
Visiting the Shi brothers who were injured and hospitalized.
You must know that these two brothers were injured in the Dawan group. As the father who was the instigator, how could he not express his condolences cordially?
This is a matter of human nature and sophistication, even if it is a pretense, it cannot be omitted.
Less leaning, even.
"I've seen adults..."
"No need to be polite, lie down quickly, lie down quickly."
Qi Yu pressed his hand warmly, and then said straight to the point: "You two helped our little girl, and you were gloriously injured. I am here to express my solemn thanks." After that, he smiled and said: "But please don't worry, I will never do it." I let you two take this shot for nothing. After your injuries recover, you can go to the government office to find Jing Cheng Renyu and ask him to build you a large restaurant for free in a prime location in the new city. This, even if it is my fault. Compensation."
Oops~~
This shot was really worth it. If I had known this, I would have stood at attention and taken a few more shots.
Looking at the beaming faces of these two brothers, there is no trace of illness at all?
Qi Yu was about to say a few words of 'comfort' when he suddenly saw his mentor Meng Lanshan and Sun Qiaoyun rushing over to check the ward.
Just as he was about to step forward to greet them, he looked around and saw that behind them, there was a little girl of eight or nine years old. Her fair and handsome appearance felt very familiar, as if she had seen her before somewhere.
Who is she?
Qi Yu looked at it and couldn't help but tremble in his heart: How come this little girl's facial features are so similar to my emperor?
"Child, what is your name?"
"My name is... Mu Ziqing."
Um? Surname Mu?
Qi Yu squinted his eyes and smacked his lips, looking confused.
At this moment, Meng Lanshan suddenly coughed dryly, and then glanced at his disciple meaningfully.
oh?
Qi Yu understood immediately and immediately shut his mouth without asking any more questions.
Obviously, the gentleman knew something, but he did not want to discuss the matter in such a crowded place, so he gave a subtle reminder.
