The fifth master, Guan Shizhi, felt that things had changed after he returned to China.

Before going abroad, his father, Mr. Guan, was still there. If the sky fell, there would be a Dinghai Divine Needle to hold it up. Everyone had a backbone. Although the Guan family at that time was gradually declining, its former glory was still there. The old man had a good relationship with local dignitaries and celebrities, and they were sworn brothers.

They all have a little bit of military and political power, which is enough for the Guan family to live a stable and prosperous life in Fengtian City.

But after he went abroad, earth-shaking changes took place in the country, especially in the three eastern provinces. The Northeast that Guan Shizhi knew was no longer the Northeast of the past, and most of the familiar faces in Fengtian City had disappeared.

The rest, after the old man passed away, are like people who drink water and know whether it is warm or cold.

The successive changes in the Guan family in the past few days have caused Guan Shizhi's world to completely collapse.

After the paper money was burned in the brazier, the ashes were blown up by the wind and flew everywhere, exactly like the scene when his father died.

However, this time the person lying in the coffin was his second sister-in-law.

That young, beautiful, soft-spoken, but very domineering woman died.

Everyone in the Guan family said that He died after being insulted by Ling Shu.

However, Ling Shu's whereabouts are unknown and no one has been found so far.

Then something happened to Yue Dingtang.

On his way to the municipal office, his car was attacked by a bomb.

The driver was killed on the spot, and Guan Shizhi's classmate Ying Zuo was seriously injured. He is still unconscious and looks very dangerous.

Guan Shizhi went to the hospital to visit Yingzuo and Yue Dingtang. The latter was doing better. Although he was injured, it was not serious. He might be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital after a while.

But the day after Guan Shizhi left the hospital, the Guan family heard that an explosion occurred in the hospital where Yue Dingtang was staying, and the explosion may have occurred in Yue Dingtang's ward.

He Guanshi was ordered to make a trip, but returned empty-handed because the hospital had been emptied and sealed off. People around him had different opinions. Some said that there were heavy casualties, and some said that there were piles of corpses that were blown up and smashed down. Yue Ding

There was no one in Tang's life, no body in death. He couldn't find anyone to ask about the matter, and he didn't know where he had gone. When he came back and told him, Guan's family were all panicked.

On the one hand, after the death of the old man, it was the second master who came forward for the general affairs of the Guan family. Although the eldest son and the fourth son may not obey him, when it comes time for them to come forward, no one can do it. The fourth master usually

He was an extraordinary person, and his eyes turned dark when dealing with trivial household chores, let alone the eldest master. Mr. He died suddenly and strangely, and the second master fell into a trance. He asked three questions and answered one, and was temporarily unable to deal with Yue Dingtang's whereabouts.

On the other hand, Yue Dingtang came for a funeral, and he just disappeared in the huge Fengtian City. No one would believe it, let alone the Yue family behind him. It would be fine if Yue Dingtang was alone, but the Yue family is not good.

Offended, the Guan family was worried about how to explain to the Yue family. After thinking about it, they couldn't find a good reason, so they had to put the matter on hold for the time being.

Under such a situation, Lao Wuguan Shizhi had no choice but to step forward and ran around to the Municipal Office first to ask about the whereabouts of Yue Dingtang, but he almost didn't get it out. His old classmate Yingzuo now didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Guan Shizhi came back dejected and stood at the door of Guan's house. He really had a feeling of helplessness and desolation in the vastness of the world, and he didn't know where to go.

Guan Shizhi stood there for a long time, still with a mess on his forehead and no clue. He couldn't help but sigh and walked inside.

As soon as they crossed the threshold, they heard the fourth master saying to the second master: "Second brother, in my opinion, it is best to finish the funeral of the second sister-in-law as soon as possible. Don't wait for seven days, and carry it up the mountain as soon as possible."

The second master slowly woke up from his confusion. When he heard what the fourth master said, he became furious.

"Your second sister-in-law died so tragically, and the murderer wasn't even caught, so you want to cover up the truth quickly!"

The fourth master said earnestly: "Second brother, it's not that I and my second sister-in-law can't get along. You also know that the second sister-in-law died unexpectedly, which is unlucky. Our family has never been in good shape since my father passed away. Now even Dingtang's whereabouts are unknown. I just asked for bail."

The fairy has made some calculations and found that noon tomorrow is an auspicious time. If the second sister-in-law is buried at that time, the crisis can be averted. You don't want the Guan family to be in bad luck from now on, right?"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

The second master rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, but the eldest master took a step forward and actually stopped him in front of the fourth master, whom he usually disliked.

"Second brother, I, as the eldest brother, want to tell you something. We are all sad about the younger brother and sister. But there are a lot of discussions outside. They are saying that the second younger brother and sister have behaved inappropriately and have damaged their reputation. She still cannot enter the house.

She belongs to the ancestral grave, but our Guan family is kind. If you say you want her to enter the ancestral grave and the ancestral temple, we have no objection, but this matter must be dealt with quickly to prevent long nights and dreams. If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the future marriage of your children.

think!"

Guan Shizhi was surprised that the elder could suddenly say such a long speech.

If you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.

He had no feelings for the second sister-in-law, so when he heard the two of them say this, he also said the same thing.

"Second brother, just listen to everyone's advice. If our family can have smooth sailing in the future, then my second sister-in-law will know better and won't care about it. At worst, we will burn more things for her during the holidays, so we won't do it in these days.

Already."

The second master's face turned blue and white, and he finally became depressed.

"Whatever you want!"

The matter of He's burial was decided in a hurry.

Early the next morning, the second master suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and couldn't get out of bed. But it didn't matter. He's funeral had been prepared for a long time. At nearly noon, eight young men lifted the coffin and started to leave the Guan family for the outskirts of the city.

As we walked up the mountain, we were accompanied by filial sons and virtuous people who were temporarily hired to wear sackcloth and wear filial piety. They held up flags and blew trumpets. Mr. Guan Si and Lao Yuan, as representatives of the Guan family, followed all the way.

Not long after he left the house, the Fourth Master felt something strange.

"Why are there suddenly so many policemen in Fengtian City, asking questions everywhere? What happened?"

He's funeral and Yue Dingtang's disappearance made the Guan family feel uneasy. Except for Guanshi He and Guan Shizhi, everyone else had not left home for several days.

"You forgot, the Fifth Master came back and said that Master Yue's car was bombed. Rumor has it that some people wanted to deal with a certain big shot, but that big shot happened to change cars temporarily, and it was Master Yue's turn to be unlucky. Because of this,

The whole of Fengtian is now under martial law, we will definitely be searched when we go out this time."

Lao Yuan's voice was steady, without a trace of panic or a trace of calmness. Just like his presence in the Guan family over the years, it was inconspicuous but indispensable. Even if there were always some conflicts between the brothers of the Guan family, there was no need to worry.

People went to Lao Yuan to make trouble.

The fourth master snorted: "Then, when we leave the city later, will we be interrogated?"

Lao Yuan said: "There will definitely be an interrogation, but there is a corpse in the coffin, so it is impossible to turn it into a living person. It should be okay."

It didn't take long for his words to be verified.

There were several times more guards at the city gate than usual. If they saw anyone, regardless of age or sex, they would stop them. They would not even let go of the eggs in the basket. They would lift up the red cloth and look at them one by one, and take away two of them.

, that’s called kindness. If someone is greedy and just takes away half of it, the person carrying the basket can only complain secretly without daring to complain.

The fourth master was a local and knew the rules. Before the coffin could come near, he went up to it, smiled and gave each of the guards a red seal.

"Drinking money, sirs, don't be polite!"

"Where's the funeral?" Policeman A, one of the patrolmen, asked.

The fourth master announced his family status: "Yes, we are from the Guan family. My late father, Guan Desheng, was also considered a gentry in Fengtian City. I am ranked fourth. Some of you may remember."

Weighing Feng Hong, the weight is not light, and the other party's attitude is naturally much better.

"It turns out you are the Guan family of Mr. Guan. We naturally recognize you. You are the fourth Mr. Guan who is always calculating and clever, right?"

"Fourth Master, I remember you. My wife went to see you last month to settle the matter, and she came back and said that you were effective!"

"Fourth Master, please show me too!"

Unexpectedly, during the funeral, he would meet supporters. The fourth master was so happy that he almost promoted Baojiaxian to them. Thinking that he had a mission, he made an emergency turn as soon as the words came to his lips.

"How many of you, how many of you! The person lying in this coffin is my second sister-in-law. She died of a sudden illness a few days ago. Today is an auspicious day. We have to send her to bury her. If the officials want to ask questions, they can wait until another day to come.

, I, Guan Si, will definitely open the door to welcome you."

Policeman B said: "Fourth Master, it's not that we want to embarrass you. Something big has happened in the past few days and the city has been in turmoil. We were ordered to block here and search anyone we see. Even the coffin, you have to let us take a look."

Fourth Master: "That's natural! The lid of the coffin is not closed yet. The coffin cannot be lowered to the ground before it reaches the grave. Could you please help me?"

Everyone worked together to move the corner of the coffin lid, and a pale and pale face came into view.

Regardless of how beautiful He was during his lifetime, anyone who looked at his appearance after death would be horrified.

The few patrolmen didn't want to take a second look, so they took a quick glance and treated it as business.

"Fourth Master, I want to remind you that there is a curfew at night. You have to come back in time, otherwise you will have to spend the night outside!"

"Thank you for reminding me, thank you for reminding me!"

The fourth master thanked them and quickly took everyone and the coffin out of the city.

Logically speaking, it is not too heavy for a weak woman named He, and the coffin can be carried safely by eight people.

But somehow, the eight people always felt that this coffin was heavier than any other they had carried before.

"Why is this coffin so heavy? There must be some grievance, right?"

One of the coffin bearers couldn't help but mutter.

The fourth master next to him heard what he said, and his heart trembled. He couldn't help but urge them: "Let's go faster and get back before the curfew. The Guan family has a banquet waiting for you! You must carry the coffin securely, don't let it fall.

, the falling coffin is ominous!”

The graveyard had been selected and dug long ago, and the trip up the mountain to lower the coffin went smoothly. However, when it came time to offer incense, the incense could not be lit. The weather suddenly changed, and the clear sky suddenly turned to dark clouds, and there was about to be a disaster.

A heavy rain.

The fourth master was anxious and annoyed. He was really afraid that he would not be able to get back and would have to spend the night in this cemetery. The ghosts would be the next best thing. After all, they were all his own ghosts. The expenses for this large group of people for one night would have doubled again.

At this time Lao Yuan spoke up.

"Fourth Master, please go back with your people first. I can stay here overnight and I will seal this land."

The fourth master hesitated: "Then where do you live, sleep, and what do you eat?"
