There is a seven-star city three hundred miles south of the British industrial town of Carzhou, which is the main source of copper in the United Kingdom, and the mining industry here is extremely developed, because this seven-star city is of great strategic importance to Zhoulu, so the chief executive here is his absolute cronies.The current prefect of Seven Star City is called Sun Tianyuan, he has been in office for three years, and he has been conscientious and hard working at the beginning, and he has done a lot of good things for the local people, but after a long time, under the co-optation and corrosion of people with intentions, coupled with his own poor self-control, and this product actually feels that he has worked hard, and it is time to seek benefits for his family.
Lawlessness, wanton embezzlement of public funds, corruption and degeneration, extreme extravagance, make the people's livelihood miserable, and the people are full of complaints.Said that on this day, the weather was good, Sun Tianyuan rode a horse with a few entourages, all the way to the outside of the city, there is a coffin shop outside the city, the boss's surname is Zhou, thirty years old, everyone calls him Master Zhou, he is a very famous carpenter, he has a good coffin, it is said that the coffin built by his hand can not rot for decades, a good coffin, it is equivalent to a good house for the living, but careless!
And today, Sun Tianyuan is here for a good coffin.Master Zhou was originally a Han man in Gaochang, after Zhou Lu conquered Gaochang country, he took his wife all the way to the west, to the Seven Star City to settle down, he ran a coffin shop here, because he learned to build a coffin with his dead father since he was a child, the craft has reached the point of perfection, plus the Seven Star City is very prosperous, so his business is not bad, here he married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to children.However, although life is good, but seeing that his mother's health is getting worse and worse, and it may not be long before she will go west, Master Zhou began to build a good coffin for his mother, hoping that after his mother died, he could be as comfortable as when he was at home.In order to achieve this wish, Master Zhou reduced his workload half a year ago and began to look for good materials in various places, and after some hard work, he really let him find it.After nearly half a year of hard work, a good coffin made of sandalwood appeared, and after the dead were put in, as long as other measures were done well, the corpse could be kept from rotting for hundreds of years.Sun Tianyuan and the others rode for a long time, and after some searching, they finally found the location of the coffin shop!"
This Zhou Dahai, it's really crazy, spreading the coffin in such a place."
Sun Tianyuan complained.Sun Tianyuan's staff said: "Dong Weng doesn't know anything, after all, it is taboo to make a coffin, and Zhou Dahai didn't want others to disturb him, so he opened the shop in this place." ”According to the British official system, there should be no staff or master, but Sun Tianyuan covered the sky in Seven Star City, and the Jinyi guards stationed here were also co-opted and corrupted by him, so the matter of his private hiring of staff did not reach Li Lu's ears.Sun Tianyuan nodded, turned over and dismounted, and then shouted loudly into the shop: "Zhou Dahai, Zhou Dahai ......"
Zhou Dahai heard someone calling him inside, and hurriedly strode out."
It turned out to be Governor Sun, do you have something to do with me?"
He saluted Sun Tianyuan."
It's nothing, it's rumored that you have created a good coffin, so I came to see it!"
Sun Tianyuan said with a smile."
I see, then please come in with me, and I'll show you there!"
Zhou Dahai didn't think about anything else, so he took Sun Tianyuan to see the coffin.When he arrived at the shop, Sun Tianyuan saw so many black coffins on display, and he felt uncomfortable for a while, and silently thought in his heart: "Seeing the coffin and making a fortune, good luck!"
”Then he looked at the good coffin created by Master Zhou.I saw that this coffin was much better than other coffins in terms of workmanship and paint, and in addition, it even had a good smell of sandalwood."
Ho, it's a good coffin!"
Sun Tianyuan couldn't help but admire.Hearing him praise his craftsmanship, Zhou Dahai's face was full of smiles: "Of course, this coffin is made of fine Tianzhu sandalwood, and the body can be kept from rotting for decades!"
”"Is it really that effective?"
Sun Tianyuan couldn't believe it, he winked at the staff who came with him, and the staff immediately understood, and said to Zhou Dahai: "Zhou Dahai, our prefect wants to buy your coffin, what do you think?"
”"This must not be, this coffin is prepared for my mother, and she will be buried with this coffin made by me after a hundred years!"
Zhou Dahai refused when he heard it.When Sun Tianyuan heard him refuse, he was a little unhappy: "My dignified lord of the mansion, can't I ask you for a coffin?"
”The more he looked at Zhou Dahai, the more angry he became, the subordinates around him had already put their hands on the hilt of the knife, Zhou Dahai saw that the situation was not good, and thought deeply, if I didn't allow him, this dog official would definitely harm me, although my mother's son was not good, she could still last for a while, it was better to sell this coffin to the dog officer first, and build a better pair for my mother from scratch in the future.Thinking of this, he immediately said to Sun Tianyuan: "Okay, since you want it so much, then sell it to you!"
”The corners of Sun Tianyuan's mouth furled, and he said to his staff: "Give him a piece of fifty wen of flying money, and then pull the coffin away." ”"What?"
Zhou Dahai couldn't believe it, "Governor Sun, this is a good Tianzhu sandalwood, and through my careful construction, it is worth at least one hundred and fifty taels, fifty yuan, and I can't even buy a corner of the coffin." ”The staff stuffed the money into his hand: "Boy, I advise you to accept this money, otherwise you won't even be able to get the fifty cents!"
”Unexpectedly, Zhou Dahai had a strong temperament, he threw the money on the ground, Sun Tianyuan's subordinates saw this situation, and immediately became unhappy, they immediately rushed up and beat Zhou Dahai hard, which made Zhou Dahai angry!"
You are so deceitful!"
Zhou Dahai was anxious and angry, seeing that he couldn't deal with this dog official, he suddenly glanced at the sandalwood coffin and hit it headlong."
Bang!"
Blood gushed immediately on his head, Zhou Dahai fell to the ground, and after a while, he ran out of breath, seeing that Zhou Dahai was dead, Sun Tianyuan's complexion was as usual, he had seen a lot of such a scene, he told people to throw Zhou Dahai's body outdoors, and then let people carry the coffin back to the city.After Zhou Dahai died, his wife cried blindly, and she couldn't find her son's body, and her heart was even more painful.And Zhou Dahai's wife and children can only cry secretly after learning that it was Sun Tianyuan who forced her husband (Daddy) to death, and now the children are still young at home, and her mother-in-law is crying blind, which makes Zhou Dahai's widow Mi Hongmei very melancholy, she wants to go to Broken Leaf to find the benevolent Majesty and accuse Sun Tianyuan of being cruel and unkind, but as soon as her man dies, the pillar of the family becomes her, and she can't leave this family.Mi Hongmei is a strong woman, although her father is a Sogdian, but her mother is an authentic Guanzhong woman, from her mother Mi Hongmei inherited the stubborn character of the Guanzhong people, after careful consideration, she turned the coffin shop out, and sold all the family property, and then took the family to leave the Seven Star City that made them sad.After Mi Hongmei took her family to Broken Leaves, she did not rush to complain, but first settled her family in the countryside outside the city, and then found a lawyer firm, found someone to write a complaint, and then threw this petition into Jinyiwei's mailbox, she wanted to report Sun Tianyuan, the prefect of Qixing Mansion, with her real name.Mi Hongmei, a woman, has such courage and insight, which is inseparable from Li Lu's opening up of people's wisdom over the years, even a woman like Mi Hongmei can also read the text and ink, and she can also read the newspaper, she knows what to do if she has been wronged.Mi Hongmei didn't plan to go to Kazhou to file a complaint, but the cases she sent to Kazhou before were all lost, which made this woman realize that the reason why Sun Tianyuan could be unscrupulous in the Seven Star Mansion was that Kazhou must have his backstage, and if you want to bring down this enemy, you can only go to the broken leaves and ask His Majesty to take action.
