Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 346 The follow-up triggered by a coffin

Li Xin's mother's surname is Xiao, and her family is a gentry in Qiyang County. She was originally from Xiaojia Town, and later moved to the county town to live. She has some property. Therefore, Li Shen was injured more than ten years ago. Only then would he borrow to live in the Xiao family's house.

   At that time, the young lady of the Xiao family was only sixteen years old, the age of a young girl Huaichun. There was a handsome young man in the family, especially in a small place like Qiyang County.

At that time, Li Shen did not reveal his identity to the Xiao family. He only said that he was a general of the Pingnan Army. He was injured on the battlefield. Until Li Shen left a few months later, the Xiao family did not know his truth. identity.

  Only the young lady from the Xiao family received a jade pendant engraved with the Chinese character "Shen" and a child.

However, Xiao Mingli, the head of the Xiao family, was born in a scholar, and attached great importance to etiquette. When he found out that his daughter was pregnant before marriage, he was furious and almost beat her to death. Later, after Miss Xiao insisted on giving birth to this child, Xiao Mingli chased her out even more. Out of the house, to death do not recognize each other.

Everyone in the Xiao family felt that Li Xin's mother had broken the lintel of the Xiao family.

   And this poor Miss Xiao all his life, he never told outsiders who Li Shen was.

   She was only thirty-three years old when she died.

   Mostly because this Miss Xiao was tired of the suffering in the world, and her son was about to grow into a teenager, so she simply passed away.

   That night, Li Xin and Zhong Xiaoxiao simply cleaned up the thatched cottage and stayed here for one night.

   It was already the early spring season, the weather was not too cold, and they all carried blankets and furs, so the night was not too hard.

   The next morning, Li Xin took Yulinwei's people to the county seat of Qiyang County and found the largest coffin shop in Qiyang County.

   Li Xin, dressed in black, walked in calmly.

   He speaks the authentic Qiyang dialect.

   "Master, I want to buy two coffins."

   The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He was a little short. Hearing this, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Hey, what kind of wood coffin do you want, male or female?"

  The coffins are divided into men and women, and there are some differences.

  Li Xin lowered his eyebrows slightly: "One man and one woman, want the best."

   When my mother was buried, only a thin coffin was buried in the earth, which was very shabby. According to funeral rules, the thicker the coffin, the better.

   So change the coffin.

   As for the other coffin, it was for my uncle.

The shopkeeper looked up and down Li Xin and knew that a fat sheep was coming, so he led Li Xin to a nanmu coffin, bent down and said: "Guest officer, please look, this coffin is made of high-quality nanmu, and the board is made of high quality nanmu. Thick, your ancestors will be able to bless future generations when they lie down."

  Li Xin nodded and said, "That's it."

   The shopkeeper smiled and continued: "As for the female coffin, please wait a day or two for the worker. The little old man will make it now, and it will be ready tomorrow afternoon."

   Li Xin glanced at the coffin shop, a coffin made of sandalwood, a size slightly smaller than the male coffin, with a blessing on it.

  The coffin is particular about men's longevity and women's blessing.

   "This mouth...?"

   The shopkeeper shook his head again and again: "Guest officer, this is not to be seen. It was made by the mother of the county magistrate. The old lady values ​​this most. This coffin is her lifeblood, but I dare not sell it to you."

  Li Xin turned to look at the shopkeeper.

   "Is Xianzun's mother dead?"

   The shopkeeper's face changed greatly: "Guest officer, I don't dare to say that, the old man is in good health, this coffin is still the wood that the county magistrate found, and it was made by the little old man. It can't be sold or sold..."

  Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "His mother is not dead, but my mother is already dead, so I am more anxious."

   The shopkeeper's wry smiles continued: "Guest officer, it's not like that..."

  Li Xin ignored him and clapped his hands instead.

   In the stunned eyes of the shopkeeper, more than 20 strong men rushed into the coffin shop and carried the two coffins out!

Li Xin didn't leave, but stayed, took out a few pieces of gold from his sleeves and put them on the table, and said slowly, "The shopkeeper, I'm not unreasonable, I just need it urgently. Just say it and say that I will pay him a sandalwood coffin later."

   Li Xin, who was walking out, stopped and continued: "If he can't take this breath, let him go to Qishan to find me. During this time, I will build a grave for my mother on Qishan."

   After Li Xin left, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop flew to the Qiyang County Office and sounded the drum of grievances.

  …………

After    left the coffin shop, Li Xin began to contact the masons and carpenters in Qiyang County, and all of them were invited to Qishan Mountain.

   At the same time, Shen Gang also bought stones on a large scale in Qiyang County, and the money was much higher than the market price, and there was a lot of noise for a while.

   Originally, Li Xin didn't need to participate in these chores himself. As long as he said hello to the local government, the local government would recruit corvés to help him build his grave.

   But Li Xin is somewhat paranoid, he wants to do some things himself, or at least get involved himself.

   But after all, he still offended people.

   In his identity as the Marquis of Jing'an, there is nothing wrong with his practice in the coffin shop, and he can even be called gentle, respectful and frugal.

   County Zun Zhou Yang was furious.

   In a remote place like Qiyang County, the county honor is heaven and earth, and it is his parents. He has been rampant in Qiyang County for so many years.

   The next morning, Zhou Xianzun brought a group of yamen to find Qishan. After seeing those workers who were carrying stones up the mountain, he was even more angry.

   He led people directly to the middle of the mountain, ready to **** the coffin back. By the way, he took the villain and these people into the county jail!

   Then he saw Li Xin halfway up the mountain. Just as the county magistrate rushed towards Li Xin angrily, a strong man took out a sign with a black background and a white tiger pattern from his arms.

   Lord Xianzun immediately slammed and rolled down the mountain.

   Yu... Yu Linwei, the Son of Heaven leads you!

   What is even more terrifying is the young man in black.

  I heard from the mansion that a young Marquis from Yongzhou in the capital wanted to return to his hometown to visit his relatives. His Majesty personally ordered Yulin Wei to accompany him.

  Looks like it's almost inseparable...

   Zhou Xianzun wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling lingering fears.

  Fortunately, this Marquis has a good temper, otherwise he, the local emperor of Qiyang, would have done his best.

   It is rare for people from the capital to have such a good temper.

   From this Zhou Xianzun aggressively going up the mountain to rolling down the crap, during this process, Li Xin was still busy back and forth in a group of masons, and he never looked at Zhou Xianzun.

   The county magistrate who broke the family, destroyed the prefect, and the magistrate was not a low-level official. In such a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the magistrate is the sky in the poor place of Qiyang County.

   But Li Xin can't see him anymore.

   He simply wanted to build a decent grave for his mother. This kind of behavior is useless for the dead, he just wanted to comfort himself.

   On the Qishan Mountain, the sound of ding ding ding did not stop for a moment.
