Chapter 1066 Burial


Chapter 1066 Buried

This is a tragedy, but it is also a tragedy that is repeated every day, every hour, and every moment in every city in the Tang Dynasty.

This is the way of the world!

People who support Fang Jun all know how powerful the Yuan family is, and most of them can understand if Fang Jun ignores these two old men. After all, the Yuan family's influence in the court is extraordinary. Offending such a super powerful family for the sake of two ordinary people will have an immeasurable impact on Fang Jun's future official career.

But if Fang Jun is really afraid of the Yuan clan's power and chooses to stand by and ignore it...

There will be some disappointment, right?

The onlookers were silent, with complicated thoughts.

After all, everyone naturally hopes that even in the darkest night, there will be a ray of sunshine shining through. Even if it is just a ray of light and a ray of warmth, it will make the whole life full of hope and brilliance.

However, this is nothing more than an extravagant wish...

Hope, most of the time, they will bow to reality. This is the case for ordinary people, even for Fang Jun, who is a noble Jing Zhaoyin.

After all, every choice means gain or loss of interests...

Dugu Cheng took the blood-stained paper bravely.

He didn't dare not accept it. If he dared to refuse to accept the petition in front of so many people, the reputation of the entire Jingzhao Mansion would be ruined, and Dugu Cheng's reputation would be ruined, and his future would be ruined.

The most important thing is that he dares to guarantee that if he does not accept this petition today, Fang Jun will be furious and kill him in the most rogue and despicable way!

After taking the petition, Dugu Cheng didn't even have time to read it carefully, and said loudly: "Auntie, I have accepted the petition, and Jingzhao Mansion will give you a fair and just explanation. But the deceased is the most important, so I will let you." How about sending someone to bury this old father-in-law first? People cannot be resurrected, so they must be buried in peace. ”

The old woman was shedding muddy old tears. She gently stroked her husband's increasingly cold cheek with her skinny branch-like hands and nodded silently.

Dugu Cheng took a long breath, straightened up and said loudly: "The onlookers should disperse quickly. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Jingzhao Prefecture if you are blocking traffic in such a busy city?"

They also sent patrols and servants from the yamen to drive them away. The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and the chatter gradually faded away.

But Dugu Cheng knew that although the crowd dispersed, the eyes of all concerned people would always be focused on Jingzhao Mansion, waiting to see the consequences of Jingzhao Mansion's handling. Once the people are dissatisfied, it is necessary to curse them everywhere.

Dugu Cheng also wanted to scold his mother!

Dugu Cheng, who is also from a wealthy family, has naturally seen a lot of dirty things in wealthy families. It is absolutely impossible to prevent the inexplicable disappearance of slaves and servants. After all, there are many disputes in wealthy families, and there are more opportunities for secrets to be discovered...


In order to keep the secret, it is necessary to kill people and silence them.

But your Yuan family has a great business, so what's the big deal if the maid from Dian dies? Since people cannot be resurrected, can't they just give their families enough housing expenses? How much is their life worth? Why don't even the corpses be disposed of before others see them? Not short of that much money!

It's better now. My grandfather and grandparents were violent, my grandfather was killed in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, and my grandmother came with a petition to complain. The incident became a big deal and everyone in the city knew about it. No matter how the matter was handled in the end, the Yuan family's reputation was quite bad. ……

What a confused family.

Even if Dugu Cheng wanted to protect the Yuan family, he couldn't do this kind of thing. A large group of imperial censors supported by His Majesty were trying their best to search for the omissions and mistakes of the officials in the court. After all, paper can't cover it up. Hold on, this matter will be known to the world sooner or later.

Moreover, although the Guanlong Group is of the same spirit and supports each other, it is impossible for them to ruin their own future in order to protect others...

Dugu Cheng did not dare to neglect, and arranged for someone to buy a mouthful of high-quality longevity food to restrain his father-in-law who was knocked to death in front of the Jingzhao Mansion. He then persuaded his father-in-law nicely and patted his chest to ensure that the petition would definitely be presented to Jingzhao Yin Fangjun. Then he personally sent someone to escort the old woman Ding home and arrange her funeral.

At the end of the day, Dugu Cheng put away the petition and planned to go to Fang's house to tell Fang Jun about the matter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the Yamen, he saw a four-wheel carriage with the Yuan family emblem printed on it waiting at the door. The steward of the Yuan family, dressed in clean blue cloth clothes, stood with his head bowed beside the carriage. When he saw Dugu Cheng, he immediately ran forward and said with a smile: "Well done, young Yin. My young master has been waiting for a long time."


Dugu Cheng frowned.

The current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhou, is the ninth generation descendant of Emperor Zhaocheng of the Western Wei Dynasty. Grandfather Yuan Shun, King of Puyang of the Western Wei Dynasty. His father Yuanxiong was the King of Wuling.

His son Yuan Renhui was the governor of Liang.

The young master mentioned by the steward of the Yuan family is Yuan Renhui.

Yuan Renhui's official position is not obvious, but his seniority is a bit higher than that of Dugu Cheng. The Guanlong Group has been married for generations, and relatives are helping relatives. They can build some relationships by going around and around, so Dugu Cheng can't help but see him.

Furthermore, with Yuan's status, it was impossible for Dugu Cheng to turn a blind eye.

Even if Dugu Cheng doesn't want to pay much attention to this matter, in the end he is still an ally...

Dugu Cheng got on the carriage.

For a long time, Dugu Cheng, with a gloomy look on his face, looked at the Yuan family's carriage gradually going away, wishing he could curse a few words.

What's going on with this girl?

Dugu Cheng, who was extremely depressed, waved to the charioteer to drive the carriage. After boarding the carriage, he ordered angrily: "Go to the house."

*****

"Burial?"

Fang Jun held the blood-stained paper in his hand. The knuckles of his fingers were slightly white from the exertion, and the veins on his forehead were slightly raised. Anger spread in his heart, and he wished that the assassin would lead his soldiers into the Yuan family and kill all the indifferent and ruthless animals in this family!

The daughter who had been raised through all kinds of hardships could not even be seen dead, so the Yuan family dismissed her by saying, "She is suffering from a serious disease, and medicine is ineffective." Even if it was just a dead kitten or puppy, they would dig a hole and bury it, right?

The result?

It was because the dead boy of the Yuan family who died young had not yet gotten married, so he had to be buried with a group of maids and maids...

That was a living girl in her prime. She was raised by her father and mother. How could she be so ruthless as to kill her alive and buy her into a grave to be buried with a dead person?

Not to mention that he is just a slave of the Yuan family. He is still free and not a slave of the Yuan family. Why do he treat human life like this? After burying someone's daughter with him, can he confidently tell someone that "he is suffering from a serious disease and medicine is ineffective"?

What a beast!

Dugu Cheng looked helpless and said cautiously: "Fu Yin, Yuan Renhui personally came to the official to explain the reason in detail. He also admitted that the Yuan family went too far, but the Yuan family was willing to compensate the victim for his losses. As follows In the official's opinion, although this kind of thing is harmful to Tianhe, it has been forbidden repeatedly. If it is better to turn a blind eye, if the victim does not pursue it, we Jingzhao Mansion will just let it go. "

What he said really came from a public heart.

Although the practice of sacrificial burials has been banned since ancient times, it has continued throughout history and has been repeatedly mentioned in history books.

"Mozi Buried Under the Festival" said: "The emperor killed hundreds of people and dozens of widows; generals and officials killed dozens of people and several widows. The horses, horses, and girls all have music. ... This is a matter of abandoning the people and squandering the people's wealth. "

This means that kings kill and bury people, ranging from hundreds to dozens; generals and adults kill and bury people, ranging from dozens to a few, with chariots, horses, singers, and dancing girls, which is extremely cruel. This cruel practice prevents people from doing anything and wastes people's money beyond calculation.

Even Xun Kuang, who advocated the theory of thick burial, strongly opposed murder and burial. He said in "Xunzi·Li Lun": "Carving death and attaching it to life is called ink; carving life and attaching death is called confusion; killing life and sending death to it is called Thief!"

It means that reducing the burial objects for the dead and increasing the expenses for the living is called "Mozi's way", reducing the expenses for the living and increasing the burial objects for the dead is called confusion, and killing the living to bury the dead with them is called cruelty!
< br>

However, burial has been regarded as a symbol of rank since ancient times, and the scale of burial has become a representative feature of aristocratic status. No dynasty has ever been able to completely prohibit it.

If Fang Jun insists on going his own way and wants to use this to challenge the Yuan family and force the Yuan family to plead guilty, he will be an enemy of all the aristocrats in the world!

Even the royal family! Where is the chance of winning here?

Wouldn't it be better if the Yuan family compensated the old lady Ding a sum of money and everyone could get what they needed and live in peace?
