Chapter 273 Fight
In the early morning, a group of refugees came towards the capital. When the soldiers on the city wall discovered it, they hurriedly reported it to Master Qianhu of the Military and Horse Division, and Master Qianhu hurriedly reported it to the superiors.
After a cup of tea, the city gate was hurriedly closed.
The funeral procession of the Song family walked to the city gate and saw the city gate closed. This was something that no one expected.
But now that we are here, we naturally cannot go back.
Duke Pei Guo and Song Baiqing came forward to find Mr. Qianhu. Seeing that the funeral team belonged to the Anyang Houfu family, and that most of the mourners were members of the noble family, Mr. Qianhu did not dare to neglect, so he reported it urgently. above.
The dead are great and one cannot disrespect them.
Half an hour later, the city gate was opened.
But before the funeral procession left the city gate, the excited refugees who had been waiting outside the city gate poured in like a tide.
He collided with the funeral procession that was about to leave the city gate.
The few coffin bearers who were walking at the front were squeezed down without paying attention, and the coffin fell heavily to the ground.
This was a great disrespect to the deceased, and the people in the funeral procession were extremely angry.
But the refugees who have seen too many dead people no longer take the dead seriously and have become numb to the dead.
They have been hungry for many days, and now they just want to eat, just want to live, and don't want to starve to death like others.
If they starve to death, their flesh will be cut off and cooked.
They don't want to be eaten as a meal.
People who don’t want to die rush in regardless,
Zeng was crying, and she was the first to be hit by the refugees. If not for Xia Zihan's sharp eyes and quick hands, who hurriedly protected Zeng behind the coffin, Zeng would have been trampled to death by a group of refugees.
Pei and Shi Wenting, who were crying on the other side, were not so lucky.
When the coffin bearers fell, one of the big men fell on Ms. Pei.
Pei's thin body was so compressed that she almost vomited out her overnight meal, but before she could recover, she only heard a huge and heavy sound, followed by a sharp dull pain in her right foot.
Heartbreaking, excruciating pain.
As soon as her vision went dark, she fainted from the pain.
It turned out that when she was pushed down by the big man and fell, one of her legs stretched under the coffin. When the coffin fell, it fell on half of her legs.
As you can imagine, that poor calf, from the knee down, was crushed into a puddle of flesh and blood by the thousand-pound coffin.
Mr. Pei fainted from the pain on the spot.
Shi Wenting was also unlucky. She was hit on the head by a coffin pole and was bleeding profusely. If five or six coffin bearers had not pulled out the coffin pole in time and protected her and Pei, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have been killed long ago. Trampled to death
The funeral procession was dispersed, and there were screams, cries for help, cries of pain, and constant curses.
In an instant, there was chaos at the city gate.
Seeing that his mother's coffin fell to the ground, Song Baiqing's eyes burst into tears and he was furious. He jumped up to his feet and roared, "How dare a group of untouchables disrespect my mother's body." Then he ordered the family's attendants, guards and clan members. , "Beat me, beat me hard, beat me up and send me to the government office."
The title of the Song family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is also a large family with hundreds of people. Now seeing that the body of the old lady they had always respected was bumped into by a group of beggars, they got up in anger, grabbed the refugees and beat and kicked them.
The refugees resisted desperately and started fighting with the Song family. The funeral guests also became confused, fled in panic, and hid in all directions.
Everything happened in a matter of seconds.
Xia Zihan protected Mrs. Zeng and ducked behind the coffin, and the coffin fell to the ground.
Hearing Mrs. Pei's scream, she protected Mrs. Zeng and took a moment to take a look. She saw that Mrs. Pei's face was as white as snow and she had fainted, while half of her calf was under the coffin.
Xia Zihan didn't gloat about the misfortune, she had no intention or mood, because Mrs. Zeng was also frightened, her face was as white as paper, and her body was shaking non-stop.
Mrs. Zeng grabbed Xia Zihan's sleeve, shook it and said, "Yu Niang, leave me alone, run away quickly, don't get hit by a man."
After being hit by a man, Yu Niang's life was ruined.
Zeng also saw Pei's tragic situation, and saw Shi Wenting, who was petrified and weak, nestled in the arms of a big man.
There were too many people at this moment and it was too chaotic. Maybe no one saw this scene, maybe someone saw it like her.
Once the chaos is over and this scene is told, Shi Wenting will be ashamed to see anyone in her life.
Even Song Huai will be embarrassed along with him.
A noble lady was hugged by her husband. Although it was an accident, the Song family was a noble family and a respectable family. The Song family seemed to keep a daughter-in-law who had lost her virginity?
Zeng was scared, worried that Xia Zihan would encounter the same situation as Shi Wenting, so she calmed down, tried to calm down, pushed Xia Zihan out, and kept telling her, "What happened between you and Aqi, your aunt Sent Nanny Ren to tell me Yes, I have verbally agreed. Yu Niang, please remember, if grandma has an emergency, you should go to Manager Lu. Grandma has arranged everything. You listen to Manager Lu in everything, and Manager Lu will help you... ”
"Grandma, stop talking. Even if your granddaughter dies, she will rush out with you."
Xia Zihan's eyes were sharp and powerful. She dragged Mrs. Zeng with one hand, waved away a Song family member in mourning clothes who bumped into her, and raised her foot to kick away a refugee who fell on her.
She tightly protected Zeng, dodging left and right in the chaos, punching and kicking, looking for an exit.
At this time, several men in black suddenly reached out with extremely dexterity, avoiding everyone, and rushed to Xia Zihan. One of them took Zeng from her hand and carried it on his back. The other one bowed and said, "County Lord, I am late, please forgive me."
The person coming was the secret guard assigned by Chu Jingqi to her side.
The one carrying Zeng was Hua Snake, the one apologizing was Fox, the leader of the secret guards, and the other three secret guards were Xia Zihan's first to see them, so they didn't know their names.
With the secret guards opening the way, a group of people quickly reached a safe place.
"Auntie, cousin Chu Yu, are you okay?"
As soon as Hua She put down Zeng, before she could say a word, Song Huai rushed over from nowhere.
The eager and concerned tone made Xia Zihan frown.
She said calmly, "We are fine, but my cousin and aunt are still inside and haven't come out. Cousin Huai, please call someone to rescue them quickly."
As for Pei's injury and Shi Wenting being held in the man's arms for protection, she didn't mention a word.
Needless to say, Song Huai knew it soon.
There was a commotion at the gate of the city, and the people of the Military and Horse Division could not just watch the commotion. Otherwise, if they went to the emperor to make trouble, I am afraid that the Prince Yu's palace would be implicated.
Master Qianhu made a prompt decision and sent a team of troops to rush over and arrest the refugees when they saw them.
When the refugees saw this, they fled in all directions.
When the refugees who had not entered the city gate saw this, they were too frightened to rush in and fled to the outskirts of the city.
Only a dozen beaten and dying refugees were left, still lying on the ground unable to move.
The chaos at the city gate calmed down in less than a cup of tea.
Song Huai was worried that Pei and Shi Wenting would be trampled and injured, so when he saw that the refugees were gone, he rushed to find Shi Wenting and Pei.
And that scene made his eyes burst with tears.
His delicate new daughter-in-law, whom he had just married less than two months ago, was lying limply in the arms of a big man, her white and tender little hands still tightly grasping a handful of clothes on the big man's chest.
That man was also a clever man. When the chaos was settled, he wanted to peel off her hand and distance himself from her as soon as possible.
But Shi Wenting was so frightened that her heart was broken and her soul was gone. She was like a dying person in the sea grabbing a piece of driftwood, clinging to the man's clothes.
The man was anxious and quickly let go of her hand, letting her hold him.
But it was still a step too late. That scene still fell into Song Huai's eyes. Song Huai rushed over and wanted to punch the man in the face.
No, he can't hit him.
If he makes a move, everyone here will know that his wife was hugged by a rough man. Not only will Shi Wenting die, but he will also be embarrassed.
The Song family has already been embarrassed by enough things, so we can't add one more.
Song Huai's fist stretched out to Shi Wenting's hand, forcefully opened her hand, and handed her over to the steward who came over.
Song Huai went to help Pei who had fainted.
"Master, please slow down, Madam's legs?"
Shu Zhen, who was running over in a hurry, saw that Mrs. Pei's face was not right, so she took another look. With sharp eyes, she saw half of Mrs. Pei's legs pressed under the coffin. Shu Zhen's face turned pale and she pointed tremblingly.
Song Huai followed his hand and looked over, his face changed drastically, "Quick, lift the coffin."
Half of the leg was pressed under the coffin. Due to the terrain, the blood flowed under the coffin. There was not much blood outside the coffin, so no one noticed that Pei's leg was pressed.
Song Baiqing, Pei Guogong and others learned that Pei was in trouble and rushed over.
Duke Pei howled sadly, "Sister, what kind of sin have you suffered?"
One of her legs was crushed by the coffin, and she knew it could not be saved, and Pei would be disabled from now on.
When she woke up, she didn't know how sad she was.
The coffin bearers pressed up the coffin-carrying bars and lifted the coffin. Everyone saw that there was a river of blood under the coffin.
The half of Pei's calf had turned into a puddle of flesh, bloody and bloody, and even the bones were crushed to pieces.
Everyone was shocked. Song Huai, Song Baiqing, and Duke Pei hurriedly carried Pei out.
Pei was so angry that she was dying. Seeing that her life was in danger, Duke Pei was worried and hurriedly sent Pei back to Anyang Marquis Mansion. He also sent people to Duke Lu's Mansion and asked Duke Lu to go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor to treat her.
As for Song Baiqing, he was worried about Mrs. Pei and had to stay and preside over the funeral of little Zeng.
The coffin has been carried out of the house and cannot be carried back again. The funeral cannot be stopped in the middle, otherwise little Zeng will not be able to close his eyes under the Jiuquan.
Seeing that the auspicious time for little Zeng's burial was approaching and could not delay any longer, Song Baiqing left a steward and a clan uncle to handle the remaining trivial matters, and he and Song Huai led the funeral team out of the city.
