Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 329 Legal Affairs

Zang Nian looked at everything in the room inconspicuously. Finally, his gaze stopped on a small bundle on the table, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When I walked to the bed, I saw the person lying on it. His skin was gray and his face was peaceful. It seemed that he had been dead for some time.

Si He reached out and tidied Ning Ji's clothes.

Zang Nian asked two of his men to help carry the body onto a stretcher and then covered it with a white cloth.

Si He watched quietly, her face calm except for a hint of sadness in her eyes. She was carrying a few bags, and the coachman beside her also helped to carry some things. Then the group left the guest room.

Before leaving the inn, Si He paid a large ingot of silver as a small compensation for disturbing the other party's business.

The shop owner, considering the huge amount of silver, just sighed and said nothing more.

When the stretcher was brought to the door, they carried the body into the coffin. There were many people watching and whispering around.

The coffin bearers were hired by the coachman from the coffin shop. They were very familiar with funeral matters and had been in this business for many years, but the job they took today was really unusual.

However, they didn't say much. As long as there was money, everything was negotiable.

Soon, the group headed towards the outside of the city.

As they passed along the street, passers-by gave way. The coachman drove the carriage slowly in front, the coffin shop staff carried the coffin and followed closely, while Zang Nian and his two men rode horses and walked at the end.

Such a strange team made people on the street look at it and talk about it.

After leaving the city, the group headed straight towards the crematorium.

Along the way, the coffin bearers were perplexed. Since they already had a coffin and the money, why would they just bury the body properly? Why go to a crematorium? They already had the necessary funeral supplies, so it was obvious they were going to perform a ritual, but who would go to a crematorium for a ritual?

With a lot of doubts in their minds, they came to the crematorium on the outskirts of the city.

By the way, the weather today is really not very good, it is gloomy and there is a constant cool breeze.

At the door of the crematorium, in addition to the master and apprentice pair standing there, there were two sturdy guys. These two guys were also from the crematorium. They had been out for something before and just returned to the crematorium today. They didn't expect to see such a strange scene as soon as they came back.

The old man at the crematorium was even more puzzled, because he had just met them a few days ago. In the past few days, he had been wondering when the two would come to the crematorium again. Now, they had come, but...

After Si He got off the carriage, he didn't care what these people thought. After giving instructions to the old man at the crematorium, he asked people to start the necessary ritual matters.

Because bone refining is a special matter, according to Zang Nian, the sooner the better, so it is better to perform the ritual as early as possible.

The coffin was carried into the lobby of the crematorium, and a group of people worked swiftly. Although they were confused, they could earn a lot of money for this job, several times more than usual, so they naturally worked hard.

Even the people in the crematorium were very enthusiastic. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have laughed out loud!

Because Si He gave them a lot of money in advance, just asking them to do the job well. With the money, they will naturally work harder. This is only half of the money paid in advance, and the remaining half will be given afterwards. But even half of the money is several times more than the income from normal work!

She even gave some silver to Zang Nian's two subordinates. Of course, she was not stingy with Zang Nian and gave him a large silver note.

Now that Zang Nian is wealthy, she doesn't care about this small amount of silver, but she is very capable and that makes him quite satisfied.

Here, everyone except Si He was in a good mood, but they tried hard to keep a straight face and not laugh.

Soon, the lobby of the crematorium was decorated with solemnity.

Si He knelt beside the coffin, burning paper money with a calm expression, without crying or wailing. This made the people in the lobby feel a little weird, but no one said anything and just did their work silently.

And Zang Nian even looked at her a few more times, thinking to himself, she is indeed a cold-hearted beauty.

Well, since they have known each other for a while, he will try his best to perform a ritual.

In the solemn mourning hall, the sounds of chanting scriptures and beating wooden fish began to be heard, and various rituals began to be performed.

These sounds are full of sacredness and echo in every corner of the mourning hall, making the entire hall more solemn. While helping the souls of the deceased to be reborn, they also seem to purify people's hearts.

The air is filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and incense, which makes people involuntarily calm down and look solemn.

Occasionally, a breeze blew in from outside, and the white curtains fluttered gently, making the atmosphere in the mourning hall more solemn.

Si He burned paper money with a calm expression, occasionally looking up to look at Zang Nian in the mourning hall.

Although she asked Zang Nian to perform the ritual of salvation, she never relaxed her vigilance against the evil monk. Although she felt heavy and sad at the moment, she was more sober and knew that she could not relax at all at this time.

From the moment the evil monk said he wanted to help with the ritual of salvation, she knew that this guy would not be so easy to get rid of. Instead of letting him spy in secret, it would be better to let him stay under her nose and watch with her own eyes.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

According to common sense and local customs, the ritual would take a long time, at least three days, and would be quite complicated. However, the current situation is special, and the ritual will only last until midnight.

Zang Nian is old and is quite tired after working for such a long time.

Next, he can hand it over to the crematorium staff to start burning the bones, and he can take a rest.

Everyone present, except Zang Nian and Si He, was extremely puzzled. They couldn't understand why the corpse was burned. It wasn't because of a different cause of death.

Even the master and disciple in the crematorium probably knew that these were going to be made into bone beads. It was okay to make other people's ashes into bone beads before, but it was really puzzling that they did the same with their own people.

But since they said so, they could only do it.

The crematorium had been cleaned long before the ritual. According to Si He's request, the people in the crematorium wiped it over and over again.

Before the cremation, Si He looked at Ning Ji's final appearance for a long time. Finally, the man named Ding Mu urged her carefully, and she let people burn the body.

While the burning was going on, she stayed by the side, sitting quietly and motionless.

At this time, except for the people in the crematorium, everyone else went to rest.

Lian Zang Nian also went to the guest room of the crematorium to sleep.

The night was cold and quiet, and without the various sounds of the ritual, the crematorium returned to silence.

However, not long after the fire started here, several screams were suddenly heard outside. The sound seemed extremely terrified and miserable, as if there had been some kind of terrorist attack.
