The Northern Song Dynasty was divided into 15 roads, and now Guangdong belongs to Guangnan East Road, which is the southern screen of the Great Song Dynasty. Discovering that Xueyimen was the mastermind behind the scenes, He Xiaoyue had to admit that it was related to the change of dynasty, because the former Xueyimen was backstage for the Liao Kingdom. After the autopsy of Xue Blind Beggar in the desolate temple, the credit left to Dong'er was the fox door memorization, and the content was limited.
Hearing Du Meimei's interrogation, she hurriedly said: "Xue Blindman's fatal injury was too ordinary, so I had to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor and use the pestle to probe the body, but found the wax pill in his mouth, which read, 'Qin Jingshu obstructed his subordinates from acting, suspecting that he had a special relationship with Chen An. Yelü Mingcheng report'. It is not a Khitan character, but a Jurchen script. After careful examination, this person is not blind, his face has moved, and his skeleton has obvious northern nomadic characteristics."
Du Meimei said coldly: "Xue Blind Beggar has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years. The Jin Dynasty was only established for more than ten years, and it was only in the first year of Xuanhe that the Jurchen script began to be used, and it was only seven years. His surname is Yelü, he must have been a Liao person before, and now he works for the Jin people. Behind the Xueyi Gate must be the Jin people, how many days do spies like Yelü Mingcheng know how many days the government and the opposition know, it seems that the general trend of the Song Dynasty is gone."
Xiaoyue didn't expect that Du Meimei would not know that there was still the Southern Song Dynasty, it seemed that the relationship between the people of the Fox Gate was quite complicated, she couldn't help but glance at Dong'er. Dong'er said vaguely: "There will always be a while in the Zhao family's world. The golden man's approach is not much smarter than that of the Zhao family, anyway, the willow fiber that uses poison like rouge powder has to be killed."
Xiaoyue continued: "Chen An told me that several of his masters did not know that he was a killer, but Master Shu would prevent Yelü Mingcheng from using Chen An, and he should have known. Chen An has been a killer for more than ten years, but Master Shu just stopped him from being used by the Xueyi Sect. I originally thought that Master Shu allowed Chen An to be the killer, probably for Chen Guang's treatment. But I found that those people were not poor, could it be that Chen An was unwilling to use their money? Chen An was only eleven years old when he fled, so he should be unable to refuse."
Du Meimei said: "They shouldn't know about Chen Guang. Zhao Fu was originally a favored eunuch and was given the surname Zhao, but was later defeated in the palace struggle and expelled from the palace, and Chen Taibao took him in. It was his remaining eyes and ears that allowed the Chen brothers and Lun Wenqian to escape first. No one believes in people like Zhao Fu, how can they let Qin Zhongshu and the others know about Chen Guang's situation? But this is strange, if Master Shu doesn't know about Chen Guang, why not just stop Chen An's actions? He was a famous hero in his early years." Suddenly smiled: "Xiaoyue, have you ever taken care of the Shangguan family's finances?"
Xiaoyue didn't understand why she suddenly went eight hundred miles away, and replied in a daze: "My father is the accountant, and I am in charge of the young master's study." She knew that she was not beautiful and would dream of falling in love with Shangguan Fei, just because people said that the study girl would be the young master's concubine in the future. I found out that the wife Shangguan Fei wanted to marry was Ye Qiushui, so I didn't have to think about anything. What's more, Ye Qiushui is beautiful and virtuous.
Dong'er knew that the silly apprentice was stupid again, and snorted coldly: "Girl, wake up! As someone who has been in charge of the study, can you calculate what the net worth of the book master is? No need for them, just a Qin Jingshu, how much is his net worth?"
"This ......" Xiaoyue frowned, "There is a large cabinet of silver in Qin Jing's bookstore, and there is still under the bed."
Dong'er said: "Is there any gold, is there any jade agate treasure?"
"There are some." This statement lacks confidence, implying that things from the Song Dynasty are antiques in the 21st century, and they are only ordinary goods in the Song Dynasty. She smiled bitterly and said: "The disciple is short-sighted, and the clothes of the three taels of silver are treasures. Qin Jingshu and the others are not idle people, three of the Chen family escaped, where did the other two go? will definitely be investigated, 80% of them knew about Chen Guang."
Du Meimei suddenly said "hey": "Dan boat."
Xiaoyue hadn't seen the boat yet, and when she looked around, the White Goose Pond was full of flower boats or saltwater girls' boats, and there were no boats of poor people that she had never heard of. Dong'er explained: "Look at the placement of flower pots on those saltwater boats, they are the marks of the Dan boat, and they are only released when there is an emergency. Let's go sell flowers."
The flower boats swayed towards one of the saltwater boats, and in a moment, more and more boats set up their boat marks.
Soon their flower boat came to the side of the saltwater boat, and Dong'er cried out: "Selling flowers, the dew orchids in the early morning, the branches are fragrant in the room-" pointed out a secret code. Then a flowery saltwater girl poked her head out and sang and shouted: "Selling porridge, fragrant and sweet boat porridge-"
Then the shaking oars sent a sentence: "There is a message from the water that the leader of the South China Sea Flying Fish Gang Dragon Gang has been poisoned."
**********
Today is the burial day of the former leader of the South China Sea Flying Fish Gang. The incense candle in front of the Nanhai Temple was burning high, and on the left side was the body of Long Taosheng, who had been placed in a coffin. The earth-shaking cry was accompanied by the sound of chanting. Guests kept coming to participate in the sacrifice.
The South China Sea Flying Fish Gang did not make a living by fishing, but was a cargo ship gang that ran rampant at sea to and from Nanyang Dongying and other places, so even Guangzhou Prefect Chen sent people to send sacrifices, and large and small merchants who had business dealings would do their part - although Long Taosheng passed away, his cousin Long Chaohong immediately succeeded as the new leader.
Today is a big funeral, people at sea return to the sea, a huge cargo ship has been changed into a funeral ship, surrounded by 7749 heavily armed small and medium-sized clippers, these large and small ships will sail downwind to the deep sea for an hour, and then hold a sea burial for the deceased gang leader at sea, that is, let Long Taosheng's body slip into the sea for the fish to eat. Since he died of poisoning, it seems that a group of sea fish will be buried with him. The custom is like this, there is no way to replace the fish is worthless.
The people who saw him off couldn't see the end at a glance, but only Long Taosheng's closest relatives and friends, as well as the most important business partner of the Flying Fish Gang, got on the funeral boat, and the forty-nine escort clippers were all members of the Flying Fish Gang.
Amidst the sound of the bronze drums, the funeral ship slowly sailed towards the sea, gradually turning into small black dots and disappearing into the sky.
The crowd on the beach gradually dispersed, and several carrier pigeons soared into the air, one of which was shot down after just a moment of flight.
The dead pigeon was handed to a man, who took off the copper pipe and opened the note inside, which read, "The first plan failed." The man smiled coldly, and the note turned into powder.
The mourning ship undulated in the boundless waves, the sun moved to the sky, and the bronze drums sounded.
The new gang leader Long Chaohong raised his head, stretched out his hands to the blue sky, and his face was darkened by the sea breeze with a solemn look: "The sky is blue and the sea is vast, and the people on the sea will always accompany the wind and waves! Big brother, please bless your heroic spirits forever to the sea brothers and bless my South China Sea Flying Fish Gang to prosper! Send my eldest brother back to the sea—"
In the bronze drum and the sound of "sending the eldest brother back to the sea", the coffin was opened, and Long Taosheng was carried out, undressed, and then placed on the overturned coffin lid and carried to the side of the boat.
"The master, you died unjustly!" With a shrill scream, a young woman wearing linen and wearing filial piety and dragging a child rushed to the coffin.
The only women on the boat were Long Taosheng's wife and daughter, all kneeling in the center of the upper deck. Mrs. Long jumped up to grab her, but was swept down to the deck by the whirlwind she brought up.
The crew around Long Chaohong blocked the coffin: the navigator was superstitious and interrupted the funeral was unlucky.
This woman was so good, her body was like a lightning claw like a sharp blade, and she tore a mouth from the crew in the blink of an eye. But if the Flying Fish Gang can stand on the sea, there will be no one in the gang? A majestic palm wind forced the woman to take several steps back.
The woman screamed: "Who are you?"
The clapping crew stared at her coldly without saying a word - before Long Taosheng entered the sea, there could only be one voice, that is, "Send the eldest brother back to the sea".
Seeing Long Taosheng's body slowly sliding into the sea with the coffin, the woman shouted: "Okay! Long Chaohong hello means! The corpse is destroyed! Brothers of the Flying Fish Gang, what you want to follow is such a vicious, murderous brother and sister-in-law, and wearing a human skin in vain......"
The sound of the bronze drum changed amidst the woman's shouts, and the mourning boat and the escort boat turned around and sailed back.
Long Chaosheng turned his head, his eyes seemed to be about to eat the woman, and he shouted: "Mei Niang, are you done with your trick?"
The boy who was dragged by Mei Niang looked like he was ten years old, and he was already a little sensible, and he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak out against the customs. Someone in the crying said: "Is this acting? Why don't you let this sister-in-law play a good role."
He said with bones: "Leader Long, if you don't let Sister-in-law Mei say it clearly, if someone takes her words seriously, it will be easy to say if it spreads."
Mei Niang patted the child's back with one hand, tears rolling on her face, and said to relatives, friends and guests: "Fathers and brothers want to make the decision for my orphans and widows! Mei Niang saw that the family members were out of the coffin before making a sound, because she was afraid that Long Chaosheng would move the livestock to transplant flowers and trees. Mei Niang is incompetent and failed to intercept her family, but she desperately wants to tell the truth! Long Chaosheng was the leader of the gang, and Xu Meiniang was the wife of the gang leader, and asked me to poison the family. Mei Niang is just a concubine, she wants to tell her family about her wolf ambitions, but she is afraid that her family will not believe her and accuse me of sowing discord between brothers. Mei Niang's death is not a pity, but she is afraid that something unexpected will happen to her family, so she only tells her family and the eldest young master to prevent poisoning others. Who knew that every precaution could not be prevented! Young master, tell me, is there such a thing?"
Long Taosheng's eldest son Long Fengyun nodded with a blank face, and Mrs. Long glared at her eldest son unbelievable: "Is this really happening? Why don't I know?"
Mei Niang laughed fiercely: "Why don't you ask yourself? Do you think no one knows about you and Long Chaosheng?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Long Tao's second son, Long Fengming, was half a head shorter than his eldest brother, but he was a strong boy, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Aunt Mei, I still call you Aunt Mei now, if you can't come up with evidence about today's incident, I will feed you the shark with my own hands! Big brother, someone is going to poison my father, why don't I know?!" As he spoke, he grabbed Long Fengyun's shoulder, but his feet staggered, and he fell into the warehouse with the shaking of the ship.
This is really incredible, not to mention that there are no strong winds and waves now, but there are, how can people who have lived at sea since childhood fall so easily? Mrs. Long straightened up suddenly, staggered, but still stabilized. She stared at Mei Niang: "You are the one who poisoned me!"
