Reward: +1 year of Taoism.

Qin He: “…”

Everyone is dumbfounded, the headless corpse, the eyes open in death. It would be fine if they didn't give any skills, but they only gave one year of cultivation?

This reward is not even as good as the most ordinary corpses in the mass grave.

In an instant, the delicate little beauty in Qin Hejue's arms turned into a pumpkin.

What the hell!

"People's character fluctuates, so be patient and don't be impatient. Be patient and don't be impatient."

Qin He could only comfort his wounded heart. He had no say in the reward, so whatever he gave was a profit.

The temperature of the underground fire is consistent, and the progress of the six cremators is similar.

It was Wei Wu again. He ran over and saw that the body was almost dissolved, so he asked Qin He and others to stop the furnace and collect the ashes, preparing for the next cremation.

I don’t know how others feel, but Qin He is definitely very happy.

Not to mention two bodies, he could burn them for seven days and seven nights without sleeping. It would be even better if he could contract the entire crematorium.

After everyone had shoveled the ashes, Wei Wu pointed at the bodies in the hall and said, "You've practiced burning one, now you can choose the bodies to burn. The ones on this side are from the capital, covered with white cloth. The ones in the middle are from other places, covered with yellow cloth. Choose the ones covered with white cloth to burn."

After saying that, the man left again.

The cremators looked at each other, and then went to choose a corpse.

Everyone has their own experience, so try to choose a corpse covered with a white cloth that doesn't look too fierce to burn.

The question is, is there any difference between local corpses and corpses from other places?

Of course it's different.

The crematorium of Feiyuwei is the highest level crematorium in the entire Dali.

Not only do they accept local corpses, they also accept corpses transported from thousands of miles away.

There are also crematoriums in other big cities, but they are not as high-level as those in the capital. Some corpses that cannot be handled must be sent to the capital.

This resulted in a result.

The corpses from other places had to be sent after two rounds of screening. They were all very dangerous and many of them had attacked people.

Compared with the local ones that only go through one level of screening, they are much more aggressive.

Especially in the middle, many corpses were tied with iron chains, had corpse talismans on them, and had black donkey hooves in their mouths. Some of them were even sent in with their coffins. They looked scary enough.

Wei Wu didn't need to remind them of this matter, as all the cremators knew how to choose.

No one is a fool. Don't take a job if you don't have the skills. Otherwise, if you don't get the reward, it would be a light punishment. If the corpse falls on you, that would be unfair.

But the problem is... Qin He doesn't think so.

They are all corpses, so if you want to burn them, burn the most ferocious one.

The local corpses are beauties, the corpses from other places are courtesans, and the one in the middle, with her coffin tied to it with iron chains, is simply a fairy who has descended to earth.

The Qin River is about to burst into tears. If it were outside, where could we find it?

Qin He felt like he was a wealthy man visiting brothels, with thousands of beauties waiting for his favor.

The other cremators all chose the area covered with white cloth, but Qin He took his time and again and finally moved to the area where the yellow cloth and white cloth met.

While no one was paying attention, he lifted a corner of the yellow cloth.

At first glance, although there were no chains on his body, there were shackles on his hands and feet, and a corpse-suppressing talisman was stuck on his forehead, so he must have been resurrected.

Beautiful.

Just you!

Qin He picked up the body and ran away, looking like a thief.

Wei Wu had been watching the movements here from a distance. When he saw Qin He picking up a corpse covered with yellow cloth and running away, he was immediately filled with questions.

I thought to myself, is this guy mentally ill?

We said white cloth is white cloth, why choose yellow cloth?

Okay, you can.

When the corpse-suppressing talisman burns, just wait and see how I deal with you.

disobedient.

Qin He returned to the crematorium. These corpses from other places had been cleansed before being transported to the capital, so they could be put directly into the crematorium.

Qin He put the body down and looked at it carefully.

She is worthy of being called the "Oiran", she looks very attractive.

The fingers had become claws, the mouth had sharp teeth, and there were two protrusions on the forehead, as if something was about to grow out of it. The corpse had lost water and shriveled up. When knocked, there was actually a metallic sound. The skin had become so hard that it was difficult to be injured by swords and knives.

There were unwashed black blood clots on the corpse's paws, obviously it had attacked someone and seen blood.

Qin He was very satisfied and immediately rewarded it with ten corpse-suppressing nails.

Especially those two protrusions, one on each.

After doing this, Qin He took off the corpse-suppressing talisman on the forehead of the corpse and hid it close to his body.

Although this thing is not as good as the corpse-suppressing nail, it would be a pity to burn it in vain.

Open the fire cover and burn the body.

The corpse was lying still. After ten corpse-suppressing nails were driven into it, Qin He had never seen a corpse that could still come back to life. Moreover, there was a soul-capturing lamp, so there was no way it could move.

The corpse's skin is hard, so it burns much slower than usual.

It took more than two hours for the body to be completely cremated.

The black and white curtain fell, and the shadow puppets performed, and Qin He saw the life story of this corpse.

The deceased was named Chen Yutang, a businessman from Xuzhou. He started his business by selling grain and cloth. After half a lifetime of ups and downs, he had accumulated a good fortune. He had three sons, one of whom studied literature, one studied martial arts, and one was engaged in business. All of them were young talents.

The family is full of love and filial piety, and they live in harmony and happiness.

However, there are unexpected changes in the weather, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.

Last year, the war situation in the nine border areas was tense, and the emperor issued several edicts in succession, making the supply of military food a top priority.

Each prefecture had a fixed quota for levying grain, and Xuzhou Governor Lu Xiang posted a notice to purchase grain.

But as soon as the emperor issued the order, grain prices in various places began to rise sharply. Grain merchants all held on to their grain, waiting for the price to rise, and refused to sell it.

Xuzhou Governor Lu Xiang only purchased 1,000 dan of military rations in half a month, which was less than 10% of the quota.

Lu Xiang took a look and said, "Okay, you are a bunch of profiteers and bastards. You have grain but you don't want to sell it, right? Just wait, in less than ten days I will make you kneel down and beg me to buy grain."

Here we have to talk about Lu Xiang. He was a member of the eunuch party and was irreconcilable with the Donglin Party, which represented wealthy businessmen and landlords.

Lu Xiang was unable to purchase military rations. On the one hand, the grain merchants were reluctant to sell them, and on the other hand, the Donglin Party was deliberately making things difficult for him. As long as he failed to purchase enough military rations, they would submit a memorial to the emperor and they would be able to remove his official hat.

The issue of purchasing grain has actually been mixed with irreconcilable party struggles.

Lu Xiang was also a very resourceful man. He still sent people with silver and money to buy grain from grain merchants.

What food to buy?

Bad grain, moldy grain.

When the wealthy businessmen saw this, they were like, wow, there is such a good thing?

Lu Xiang must be extremely anxious. Since he couldn't buy good grain, he bought inferior grain to pass it off as good grain.

Isn't this seeking death?

Sell!

Sell ​​it to him, and sell the damp grain as good grain. Where can you find such a good thing?

After he purchased the grain and sent it to the capital, he reported that the grain transportation was not smooth, causing the military rations to get damp.

Even if he is protected by a powerful eunuch, he will still be skinned alive.

But they never expected that Lu Xiang would mobilize the city guards to go door to door to arrest people right after he finished collecting the grain.

By placing inferior food and purchase tickets in the hall, they were charged with the serious crime of passing inferior food off as good ones and wasting military funds.

Enough to execute the whole family!

The wealthy businessmen who were arrested were dumbfounded.

Things went badly, Lu Xiang turned the tables and got fooled.

He issued the ticket himself, put his fingerprints on it himself, and the grain had been moldy for several months or half a year. This is called "ironclad evidence" and there is no way to refute it.

Who are you going to reason with?

Even if the case is brought to the emperor, you will not get any benefits.

What's more, this was a trap set by Lu Xiang.

But the wealthy businessmen were not pushovers and would never surrender so easily. At the same time, they were also betting that Lu Xiang was not so brave.

But Lu Xiang had already anticipated that they would not surrender so easily, and he had a backup plan.

The method was simple and brutal. They directly took one of the families to the execution ground and executed the entire family with a single blow of the sword.

More than twenty people in the family, including women, children, old and young, fell to the ground.

The wealthy businessmen who were to be beheaded were so frightened that their legs were shaking and their feces and urine were flowing.

Lu Xiang is serious!

Needless to say, Lu Xiang leisurely came to the wealthy businessmen and said lightly: One hundred stone of good grain can be exchanged for one stone of inferior grain.

The wealthy businessmen were so busy that they were only concerned about saving their lives and could not think of anything else. They hurriedly called their families to exchange for food.

In this way, Lu Xiang collected the quota of military rations in one day, and put the excess into his pocket, making a fortune. As for the property of the family that was beheaded, he naturally accepted it with a smile.

Hey, you might say.

It seems like Chen Yutang has nothing to do with this?

Don't worry, those who were beheaded were Chen Yutang's family.
