Chapter 560 claim
On the third day, Zhao Hanzhang still announced that Shi Le had killed the prisoners, and the city of Luoyang was crying.
They were prepared when Zhao Hanzhang returned empty-handed, but when the exact news came, everyone couldn’t help but feel sad.
It wasn’t until half afternoon when Xun Xiu returned with the army. Among them were more than a dozen bullock carts, and behind them were a group of Hunula carts with bodies wrapped in straw mats.
Zhao Hanzhang was waiting at the gate of the city ahead of time, and Wang Huifeng and others who received the news in advance were waiting with her.
As soon as the army approached, they couldn’t help but take a step forward together, staring at the straw mat on the car with tears in their eyes.
Xun Xiu jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Zhao Hanzhang and knelt down on one knee, “Your Majesty, you will be ordered to bring back the bodies of all the doctors.”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, pointed to the shed that had been erected in advance at the gate of the city, and said, “Let’s put it here temporarily, and let each family in the city recognize people.”
“Wei.” Xun Xiu got up and had the corpses on the ox cart and trolley moved into the shed and placed there.
When the first bullock cart was driven to Zhao Hanzhang, Xun Xiu lowered his head and said, “This is the Taiwei Wang and the King of Xiangyang.”
Wang Siniang rushed forward immediately, lifted the straw mat, and inside was the face of King Qingbai of Xiangyang, and then went to lift the other straw mat, it was her father!
Wang Siniang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly while holding the ox cart.
Wang Huifeng couldn’t help blushing. She stepped forward with tears in her eyes and looked down at her always dashing father.
Wang Yan is very good-looking, and has been praised for his beauty since he was a teenager. He has always paid attention to his image, but it seems that people are almost the same when they die.
His brows were wrinkled, his face was a little painful, his face was pale, and there were some corpse spots, showing that he had been dead for a long time, and his body still had a deep corpse odor.
She closed her eyes and stepped forward to cover the straw mat so that outsiders could not see what he looked like now.
My father has always loved beauty, and even if he died, he would not want people to see such a miserable appearance.
Wang Huifeng took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to Zhao Hanzhang, and said quietly, “Hanzhang, I’ll take him back first.”
“Okay.” Zhao Hanzhang asked the King of Xiangyang to be moved down and the ox cart to Wang Huifeng.
Sister Wang Huifeng personally led the ox cart home, and when they returned to Rufengju in the east of the city, everyone in the city knew that Zhao Hanzhang had people dig up the clan, officials and scholars killed by Shi Le and bring them back.
So many people ran out of the house and ran towards the city gate crying.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw that the soldiers were still moving the bodies down from the trolley, so they rushed forward, lifted the straw mats one by one to check, and quickly found the relatives they were looking for, and stopped by Found a lot of relatives and friends, the city gate suddenly burst into tears.
Zhao Hanzhang stood in front of the city gate and watched, and the commoners who passed by also stopped and watched for a while, his face was dazed and moved.
Such a scene, in the past two years, they have experienced it from time to time, too many times, it is really difficult to cause too much waves.
For ordinary people, this scene has become accustomed to it.
But for the scholars and officials in Luoyang, it was the first time such a devastating disaster. This time, Shi Le nearly killed the clan, officials and half of the Luoyang nobles.
Two teenagers, one big and one small, pushed a cart with two corpses on it. They walked to Zhao Hanzhang, knelt down, and kowtowed, “Thank you, General Zhao, for bringing my father and brother back, our brothers. The two will stay in Luoyang, although they are young and there is not much they can do, I will do my best to protect Luoyang.”
Zhao Hanzhang pursed his lips, stepped forward to help the people up, and said solemnly, “I was entrusted by you and didn’t save them.”
The boy shook his head and said with red eyes: “Shi Le is fierce, and General Zhao can redeem us from his hands is already very powerful.”
Others found their relatives, and they also borrowed a cart or an ox cart from the army to take them home. When they saw Zhao Hanzhang standing not far away, they bowed to her from afar, and then turned to leave.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly in return, and silently looked at the crying shed.
Fu Tinghan retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Zhao Hanzhang, who had been watching Ling Peng, stretched out his hand to hold her, and tried hard to bring her back to his senses, “Uncomfortable?”
Zhao Hanzhang didn’t answer, and after a long while he said in a low voice: “When I saw them for the first time, I didn’t have much feeling in my heart, I just had some complicated emotions about Wang Yan and King Xiangyang.”
After all, she knew the two and had a little bit of intersection, but Zhao Hanzhang didn’t know any of the others.
“In my heart, their deaths are not much different from a passage in a history book,” Zhao Hanzhang said, “I don’t know if it’s because I received a lot of similar news before, it’s hard for me to feel the same way about their deaths.”
“Until this moment, I didn’t feel sorry for them. Each of them has a family behind them, and each family has parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters.”
Fu Tinghan turned to look at her.
Zhao Hanzhang frowned, “I underestimated their feelings for their relatives and overestimated their own morals, and the world is different…”
She said: “I underestimated the importance this era places on the affairs of the family and friends, because they value filial piety, kindness, righteousness, and benevolence.”
“It’s not too late to know now,” Fu Tinghan said, “Most people have to compromise with the secular because of the current situation. In the past, the secular was established by the Jin family, Wang Yan and other great nobles, but now, it is up to you! ”
Zhao Hanzhang’s eyes were bright, “You are right!”
Zhao Hanzhang didn’t stay here for a long time. When the people in the city finished identifying the corpse, she would bury the rest.
Although she is poor, she still has to prepare a coffin. After all, everyone in Luoyang City is watching, and those people are all famous people before they die.
Those who can be kept by Shi Le are not simple people. Those who have no fame or official position are basically redeemed by Zhao Hanzhang.
Fortunately, she brought out a lot of family papers when she redeemed people. Some people ran away early, but the people who stayed behind were close to each other, and they took the relatives and friends they knew back together and buried them together.
The unclaimed ones are mostly from the Sima family.
Not much, a total of sixty-eight corpses.
The body of the King of Xiangyang was also taken away, and it was Wang Huifeng who came to take it away the next day. She was followed by several ladies and teenagers. She said: “The King of Xiangyang has a righteousness, and I don’t want him to expose his corpse in the wilderness, so I raised money. I bought a coffin for him, let him bury it with my father, and connect him with him when offering sacrifices in the future.”
Zhao Hanzhang naturally had no opinion and handed the King of Xiangyang to them.
The rest of the Sima family was left alone, and Zhao Hanzhang could only handle it himself.
“Go and ask the coffin shop, is there any discount if I order more?”
“…Sir, I have asked, not only there is no discount, but the price is even higher.”
Zhao Hanzhang was dissatisfied when he heard the words, and asked, “Why?”
