Chapter 46: Making Trouble at the Funeral Hall
Inside the mourning hall.
The incense and candles fell over and went out.
The offerings rolled all over the floor.
Even the tables, chairs and windows in the mourning hall were damaged.
It was a complete mess.
Lin Pianran heard the noise from afar and knew that someone must be coming, so she quickly changed her face, even more skillfully than an opera singer.
He immediately changed from his original cheerful look to a timid one.
The modes switch easily and the face changes at an amazing speed.
Lin Pianran quickly ran towards the door, screaming in fear, "Help! Someone is pretending to be a ghost and trying to kill people. Catch them! Help... Help..."
Several imperial guards saw that the five "ghost-faced men" had not stopped yet and were still pressing forward to attack Lin Pianran. They ordered, "Who are you? You are actually dressing up as ghosts to cause trouble in the funeral hall and trying to hurt people. Put down your weapons and surrender quickly..."
When the five men saw that the situation was hopeless, they quickened their movements. Originally, only two of them had weapons, but now all of them drew their cold weapons and pounced on Lin Pianran together.
Lin Pianran dodged left and right, and finally quickly hid behind the Royal Guards.
He continued to yell, "General, these people are too cruel. They pretend to be ghosts and kill people in the middle of the night. Catch them quickly... Don't let any of them go... It's... It's too scary!"
He looked extremely frightened and trembling all over.
Anyone who saw her would think she was a poor little thing who had been badly bullied.
Five "ghost-faced men" rushed over and came head-on into contact with the Royal Guards. The two sides quickly exchanged fire and the fight became fierce.
In just a cup of tea, several "ghost-faced men" were easily captured by the Royal Guards.
All tied up with ropes.
The small leader of the Royal Guards looked at the five struggling people and kicked each of them hard several times.
Then he asked in a cold voice, "Why are you causing such a scene at the funeral hall? And why are you trying to hurt people?"
The five of them kept silent, pretending to be dead.
That little leader was also a person with a bad temper, how could he let it go so easily?
He spoke again in a cold voice, "Brothers, it's cold tonight, please move your hands and feet to warm up!..."
These words ignited the blood of the royal guards and made them excited.
A few people laughed, rolled up their sleeves, and started to get ready.
"Aren't you going to confess yet? Then you can't blame us brothers for being rude. If you get hurt or disabled, you can't blame us brothers for being too harsh..."
The five "ghost-faced men" were so frightened that they were trembling all over, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to speak.
The royal guards were no longer polite and started punching and kicking the five "ghost-faced men".
He was really ruthless and didn't show any mercy at all.
The people who were beaten cried out for mercy.
Lin Pianran watched with great interest from the side and felt extremely happy.
She really wanted to go up and kick him a few more times, but her modesty as a lady from a wealthy family restrained her.
I had to suppress my inner impulse and watch quietly.
When the Imperial Guards stopped, one of the thin figures quickly spoke up, "We were sent by Miss Lin San. We just wanted to scare Miss Liu and play a joke on her."
"Are you kidding me? You're going to chop me with a big, shiny knife?..."
"If this is a joke, then I'll play a good joke on you with my big knife!"
As soon as Lin Pianran finished speaking, she picked up the fallen sword and pretended to stab the skinny man. The man was so frightened that he almost burst into tears and begged for mercy, "Sixth Miss, we won't dare to do it again! Please spare us!"
"We really just want to scare you, we don't have any other bad intentions..."
Lin Pianran's eyes were as sharp as knives. Every time she blinked, it was like scraping the bodies of the five "ghost-faced men", making them feel cold all over.
Another woman with a ghost face was so scared that she urinated all over the floor. The yellow sewage smelled terrible.
Seeing that someone had already confessed, she broke down in tears and quickly confessed as well.
"I am the maid of the Third Miss. The Third Miss said that the Sixth Miss stole her jewelry, leaving her without any beautiful jewelry to wear."
"She also said that you have repeatedly insulted her these past few days and have not taken her, the eldest daughter of the eldest son, seriously, which has made her very unhappy."
"Let's take advantage of you keeping vigil tonight to give Sixth Miss a good scare and teach you a profound lesson. This will teach you to behave yourself and never act so arrogantly again!"
After saying this, I couldn't stop crying.
Now that the matter had been clarified, Lin Pianran asked Huanxue and the Imperial Guards to take the five "ghost-faced men" and send them to the government.
Before leaving, Lin Pianran asked Tianzhu to hand a purse full of small change to the leader of the Imperial Guards.
"Excuse me for disturbing you guys so late, please give me some drinks to warm you up!"
Seeing that Lin Pianran and his servant were very tactful, several royal guards accepted it with a smile.
"This matter is easy to deal with. We brothers can testify and we will go to the authorities to make things clear."
Lin Pianran thanked him with a smile.
Sure enough, no matter when or where, money can make the world go round.
This is absolutely true.
After the Royal Guards took everyone away, the mourning hall became quiet.
Looking at the messy mourning hall, Lin Pianran showed a happy smile on her face.
She has no intention of cleaning up this mess.
Let the mourning hall be messy!
She would love it!
But Lin Chuyan gave her such a big surprise.
She always has to give something back.
Otherwise, it would be too easy for her to sleep peacefully in the quilt now.
Lin Pianran's eyes rolled around a few times, and she quickly came up with an idea.
She glanced at the roof and whispered, "Jingyu, you don't have to follow me. I'll be out for a while and will be back soon. You just stay here in the mourning hall."
"I think the Virtuous Consort might send someone over. Try to delay them. If they don't come, forget it!"
"Yes, miss, I will keep a close eye on this place." A surprised voice came from above.
Lin Pianran walked out of the mourning hall, turned a corner, and disappeared into the shadows.
Lin Chuyan's room was very close and they arrived there quickly.
She sent all the second-class maids out, and only two first-class maids were by her side.
Lin Pianran walked past the night watch maid guarding the outer room with familiarity and quietly entered the inner room.
Some more furniture and jewelry were added to the room, and even some exquisite ornaments were added.
Lin Pianran knew that Lin Chuyan, as the princess's study companion, had gotten to know the princes and many powerful sons in the palace.
In addition to her title as the most beautiful lady in the capital, there are naturally many noble men who admire her.
These things must be the result of the courtesy of those noble gentlemen.
