Chapter 8: The Man Who Died Tragically
"I found it!" Qiao Ming pointed to the computer interface, "Du Niang said, Yang Lian, born on July 10, 1572, died on August 28, 1625, the character Wenru, the name Dahong, Han nationality, Huguang..."
"Can you read the point?" Gou Rixin meowed.
"In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, that is, in 1625, for impeaching Wei Zhongxian for the 24 major crimes, he was framed for accepting bribes of 20,000 taels, tortured, and died tragically in prison. โ
"Are you sure it was him? He was killed by Wei Zhongxian, and there are many of them. โ
Qiao Ming pressed Gou Rixin's cat head to the notebook, "Look here, 'Wei Zhongxian ordered Xu Xianchun to kill Yang Lian, and Xu Xianchun ordered Tiqi to execute Yang Lian in prison, and successively harmed Yang Lian by means of 'couching his body and piercing his ears with iron nails', but Yang Lian did not die. Xu Xianchun was annoyed and ashamed, and finally drove a big iron nail into Yang Lian's head, and finally killed him. Isn't this the same scene we saw at the Thorn Fox Temple, that is, he's right. โ
"Tut-tut," Qiao Ming sighed, "The Ming Dynasty is really terrifying, the East and West Factory, the Jinyi Guard, the Imperial Prison, and all kinds of perverted punishments, Ling Chi, the head of the owl, and the corpse. But this Yang Lian has lived for a long time, he was fifty-four years old at the time, which is okay. โ
Gou Rixin, who had never spoken, sneered, "Are you rejoicing?"
Qiao Ming rolled his eyes, "At least he is in a high position, and he has enjoyed glory and wealth all his life." โ
"A woman's opinion!"
Qiao Ming lifted the back of Gou Rixin's neck and glared angrily, "If you say it again, I'll listen?"
Gou Rixin's face changed, "It's not like this." โ
"Which one?"
"Or the official is in a high position, glorious and rich, or he is unjustly imprisoned and humiliated to death," Gou Rixin struggled, "Can you let me down first?"
"Oh. โ
"These are all based on the records of later generations, that's not the real Yang Lian, he..." Gou Rixin narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling, he knew that he was a little stupid and loyal, and the emperors he supported were not as good as one, but how could he allow the harem and eunuchs to cause trouble in the dynasty? The patriarch of the three dynasties, what he wanted to support was the peace of the people in the world. But he was still defeated, demoted to a commoner, and wronged and humiliated, but he didn't turn a blind eye, even if he still had one breath left, he wanted to look at the common people, and see that this heavenly way can eradicate evil and evil.
"There is," Qiao Ming suddenly shouted, "Du Niang has everything, it is much more effective than you pretending to be deep, here it is said that in the first year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1628, Yang Lian was rehabilitated, and posthumously presented the military department with a book or something, nicknamed 'Loyal Martyr'." He was rehabilitated three years after his death, which shows that it is not too miserable. โ
"Are you prejudiced against misery?" Gou Rixin was powerless to refute, looking at Qiao Ming was like looking at a big-chested and brainless person... Forget it, it's just a brainless foodie.
"Then you say, what is the Thorn Fox Temple showing us a little movie about Yang Lian? Is it just for popular science?"
"You should be popularized. Gou Rixin's "dada" clicked on the keyboard to see the introduction of Yang Lian inside. He was actually very confused, what those visions meant, "Let's go again tonight and see if there is anything else to discover." โ
"Do you feel that tonight is unusually cold and terrifying? Qiao Ming wrapped himself in a huge rice dumpling and staggered down the street. Followed by Gou Rixin.
"Nope. โ
"Then you say, why is the Thorn Fox Temple gone, let's not go the wrong way, right?" That's right, tonight Qiao Ming and Gou Rixin each poured two taels of white wine, as the saying goes, "Wine is strong and intimidating," they formed a black and white general, bravely entered the Thorn Fox Temple, but when they arrived at the place, they found that the Thorn Fox Temple, no!
"You've got a human brain. โ
"What do you mean?"
"So, you can think about it once in a while. โ
"What do you mean?"
"The Thorn Fox Temple is gone, but we know Yang Lian, so the next clue is to find Yang Lian. โ
"No, no, no, the Ming Dynasty is too terrifying, if you cross back and encounter Jinyiwei and an edict or something, wouldn't that be a death, and there are few good emperors in the Ming Dynasty." Don't go. โ
Gou Rixin suddenly felt that there was an obvious generation gap between him and Qiao Ming.
"Then you crossed back and didn't come back?"
"Are you still a cat when you travel back?"
"Gou Rixin!"
"What are you doing!" Gou Rixin meowed, wanting to blow up his hair.
"I'm scared to death, why don't you ignore me, I... I'm tired, can I catch my breath first, I'm wearing a little too much. โ
When a man and a cat walked down the mountain, they suddenly felt a chill hit their bones, mixed with an eerie and pressing cold air, which seemed to emanate from the underworld. Gou Rixin stopped and looked around, suddenly arched up and squinted at the cat's eyes, and he didn't dare to come out.
"What's wrong," Qiao Mingchao asked in a low voice.
"There was something nearby. Gou Rixin's voice was lowered.
"What's that?"
"I say one, two, three, and you run. โ
"I can't run!" Qiao Ming was about to kneel, could she choose to roll, a little faster than she could run.
"Then you shout, if it's a person, I'm responsible, if it's a ghost, you're responsible. โ
Qiao Ming took out the nunchucks in his bag and held them in his hand, wiped the sweat from his palms, and secretly counted one, two, three in his heart, "Come out, you turtle grandson! Don't scare people by pretending to be a ghost, I saw you earlier, what are the cats doing, the police handle the case, do you know it, obstruct official business and arrest you into the bureau Believe it or not, do you hear it!"
โยทยทยทโ
"I've seen you a long time ago, the cat hasn't moved yet, and Lao Tzu's gun doesn't have long eyes!"
"Xiao Ming'er, it's your dad and me!"
"Dad!" Qiao Ming hurriedly ran over, "What are you doing here?" โ
"What else can I do!" Qiao Qishan snatched the nunchuck from Qiao Ming's hand and hit Qiao Ming's ass with a stick, "Tell me why you don't sleep at home at night, you still handle cases, and return guns, is your guts fat enough." โ
"Dad!" Qiao Ming covered his ass and dodged, "I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Gou Rixin lowered his head and sniffed, but suddenly meowed and screamed, and his whole body exploded, which shocked the father and daughter for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Ming asked breathlessly.
"Run!"
"What?"
"I'll count one, two, three, you take your dad to run home, remember, don't look back, close the doors and windows when you get home, and remember to put incense on the Bodhisattva before going to bed. โ
"Gou Rixin," Qiao Ming shouted nervously, "What's wrong." โ
"It's Yinsi, they're coming for me, I'll lure them away, you just go home. Do you remember what you just said?"
"And what do you do?"
"One, two,"
"Gou Rixin!" Qiao Ming said urgently.
"Three! Run!"
Gou Rixin ran into the grass next to him, Qiao Ming and Qiao Qishan saw this, and ran home without saying a word, holding hands and not looking back. When they got home, the two of them closed the doors and windows in a panic, and the two of them didn't dare to sleep when they squeezed on the sofa, guarding a Bodhisattva and incense all night. Until daylight.
Gou Rixin held his head and entered the house exhausted.
"You're back!" Qiao Ming said excitedly, "Are you okay?"
Gou Rixin shook his head, just glanced at the living room, and asked casually, "What about you?"
"It's okay, it's just that my dad was frightened a lot last night, and I let him sleep when it gets dawn. Yesterday's is gone?"
"Well, there was probably something else, and I ran away halfway after chasing it. Gou Rixin pushed open Qiao Ming's bedroom and lay on the bed swaggeringly, with his feet facing the sky.
"You spent the night outside?" Qiao Ming followed, puzzled.
"Well, I'm afraid they'll find out here. Gou Rixin closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It's just that I didn't sleep for long, and the bedroom window suddenly "banged" open, so startled that Gou Rixin jumped three feet high, and "meow" hit the wall.
"What's wrong!" Qiao Ming sat up abruptly and looked around, "Window..." Before she finished speaking, she heard a loud bang at the door, and she quickly got out of bed and ran out.
I saw that the door of the living room was completely opened, the books on the coffee table were blown off and scattered, the scent of sandalwood in the room gradually dissipated, and the cold breath was permeated, making the bones of the whole body tremble. Qiao Qishan ran out of the bedroom wrapped in a quilt and shrank behind Qiao Ming, his voice trembling unconcealably: "Xiao Ming, what's the matter!"
"It's okay!" Qiao Ming patted Qiao Qishan soothingly, and strode forward to close the door, "It's daylight, it's just windy." โ
"Meow!" Gou Rixin suddenly screamed, his tail facing the sky and his whole body blowing up at the center of the living room.
"Xiao Ming!" Qiao Qishan also exclaimed.
Qiao Ming was so frightened that he turned around to look, only to see two huge figures, one black and one white, suddenly appearing in the living room, looking at them with a pale face. Qiao Ming's legs weakened and he knelt down immediately. Qiao Qishan ran behind Qiao Ming in a trembling manner, scooping up the person and blocking it in front of him. Gou Rixin hissed sharply and raised his fangs at the unknown creature in front of him.
"My business has nothing to do with them!" Gou Rixin said.
Black and white impermanence, the two of them have similar pointed and thin faces, white and bloodless, nearly three meters tall, wearing a black and white long robe, and they can't see their bodies. At this moment, he looked at the two people and one cat in the room expressionlessly, and the iron cable in his hand made a few "clangs" and flew out in an instant. Gou Rixin jumped over the iron cable and jumped onto the cabinet in the living room.
"Dad!"
Qiao Ming suddenly screamed, only to see that the black and white impermanent iron rope actually trapped Qiao Qishan! Gou Rixin was dumbfounded.
"Dad!" Qiao Ming hugged Qiao Qishan and cried, "Dad, you're okay, what's wrong with you." โ
"Xiao Ming," Qiao Qishan cried, "Xiao Ming." โ
"There are some things that you can't forget. This sentence of black and white impermanence is like a spell. Qiao Ming watched as the blood on Qiao Qishan's face receded, turning into a dead pale, the clothes on her body were gradually stained red with blood, and the arm she was clutching suddenly broke off in a twisted posture.
"Don't-" Qiao Ming screamed in horror, and suddenly pulled the iron rope like crazy, "Dad, wake up, Dad, tell me, it's not true." Dadโ"
"Is this true, don't you really remember?" Black and White Impermanence continued, "Qiao Qishan, died in a car accident, a month ago, it was time to enter the Netherworld. โ
