No.67 Peach Blossom Tribulation

After the eldest son's condition stabilized, Gu Qiang went back to the inn, and after hearing Wu Langtou's report, the whole house had been arranged, so he felt a lot more relieved and went to see Qingshu.

"Miss, you can send a message, if you don't speak, whoever persuades the young master will not go back to the inn, and insists on guarding the Yuan River, you have to wait until the doctor is approved, and personally take the Yuan River back to the inn." It turned out that Gu Qiang couldn't persuade the stubborn Qingyang to come back to the inn and find Qingshu to move the rescuers.

Qingshu was happy when he heard this, "What is there to persuade this, Yuanhe has been filial piety for our sister and brother in front of my father's grave for five years, and now Yuanhe is sick, Qingyang just went to sit with him, it should not be said, compared to Yuanhe, it is just a trivial matter." ”

"Miss, it's not ......" Gu Qiang couldn't agree.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. I didn't have time to ask in detail before, but I kept thinking about it. How did the injuries on Yuanhe's body come about? Did you ask about it? Was it a sharp blade wound or something else? Tell me about it. ”

"Miss, Yuanhe is still awake when he sees the doctor's work, but everyone is anxious about his illness, but they don't allow time to ask. Later, when he wanted to ask, Won-ha fell asleep again. By the time the old slave left the pharmacy, he was still sleeping. After a while, the old slave went back and asked, and immediately asked someone to call the young lady back. Gu Qiang was telling the truth, at that time, he was only worried about his son, how could he be in the mood to ask anything else. Later, his son slept soundly, and he couldn't bear to wake up his son to ask questions.

Qing Shu waved his hand, "Okay, let him rest well." We have all returned to our hometowns, and we have to take our time and not rush at this time. Let's talk about the wound first, is it a sharp blade? What did the doctor say? ”

Thinking of the injury, Gu Qiang's face sank, "The doctor said, looking at the shape of the wound, it is not a sword injury, but a sharp agricultural tool stabbing wound." Because the thorn was off, it was only a big opening to cut the flesh, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones. He still had some bruises and bruises on his body, which should have been fought with people. ”

Qing Shu followed with a sinking face, and after letting the little fish who was waiting in the house go out to look at some people, his voice became much quieter, "I don't mind making a big fuss about this matter." I ask you, is there any way you can stab this to "she pointed to the sky." "In ancient times, heaven was the Son of Heaven and the emperor.

Gu Qiang was shocked, "Miss, you ......"

Qing Shu lowered his voice, "Don't forget, Gu Yuanhe is not only your son, but also the person who guards the tomb of General Zhongwu, and the person who guards the tomb of General Zhongwu of Da'an." Today, the people who guard the tomb of the loyal generals of Da'an were first taken away from Botian, who relied on for survival, and then were injured by a sharp blade, and their lives were in danger, and no one paid attention to them. Are there blind or deaf people in Gujia Village? Where are the parent officials in Kangxi Town? ”

"But ......" Gu Qiang felt that it was very inappropriate.

Qing Shu didn't let him speak, "Don't forget, we're going to put down roots here." What good is it for us to keep these people who are against us? Since it is specifically to prick our thorns, then we will not do anything, and we will not stop doing it, pulling out what should be removed, and pressing what should be pressed. Of course, we are just ordinary people, and if we have grievances, we naturally can't kill them, and we leave a handle for others. Therefore, it is natural to find someone who can call the shots and redress our grievances. "In the whole world of Da'an, as long as there is the one on the dragon chair who is in charge, see who dares to bully her father's grave.

"Miss, in local affairs, if you don't look for a magistrate, just stab you directly, you will offend the officials at all levels. Not only that, "pointing to the sky," you will make trouble with sesame little things, but you will provoke the saint...... Ahem, it looks ...... The people down there are too incompetent, it's not a fight...... face? "The key points, he has vaguely mentioned, but everyone understands.

Qing Shu felt helpless. There is a city and two counties under the jurisdiction of Huizhou, and one city is naturally Jinyang City. One of the two counties is De County and the other is Chong County. There are three small towns under Dexian County, one of which is Kangxi Town. Whether their ancient mansion is rooted in the village or rooted in Kangxi Town, they have to be suppressed by the county magistrate (that is, the county order). The reason is very simple, the current county magistrate of Dexian County is surnamed Xiao, which is a branch of the Xiao family in the capital.

So, she asked: "Do you think that we sued Bai Xianfu in Kangxi Town, and Bai Xianfu reported the matter to Xiao Zhixian in Dexian County, and Xiao Zhixian will make the decision for Yuanhe?" Xiao Zhixian, will you report this matter? "It's a very real question. Before leaving Beijing, they didn't know that the Xiao family also had a magistrate in Dexian County. When settling in Jinyang City, someone in the inn talked about this Xiao Zhixian and mentioned that the backer was the Xiao family with a noble concubine in the capital. Only then did they realize that it was not good, so they asked someone to inquire. Indeed, this Xiao Zhixian is a branch of the Xiao family in the capital.

"Miss, can you allow the old slave to go back and think about this?" Gu Qiang also made a mistake in his heart, this matter must be considered in the long run.

Qing Shu smiled suddenly, his face relaxed, and the worry between his eyebrows dissipated, "Butler, am I too worried?" It is rumored that Xiao Zhixian is upright, if the rumors are true, but I am too stingy. ”

Gu Qiang was confused by her smile, and only said: "Miss is not worrying about the sky, everything is better to be careful." ”

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you. You make your own ideas, you can solve it as you want, solve it in a low-key manner, or make trouble...... You can do it yourself, and I will cooperate with you. As for matters such as buying a house, I will keep an eye on it, so you don't have to worry about it. Qingshu didn't give Gu Qiang a chance to speak, so he slapped the board in a few sentences and let Gu Qiang go out.

If you want to ask Qingshu why he changed his mind and handed over the robbery of Botian and the beating of Yuanhe to Gu Qiang, it is actually not that complicated. One is that she feels that her spirit is too tight, and she doesn't understand the things in the officialdom, so it's better not to mess around. The second is that she believes in Gu Qiang's ability, and believes that Gu Qiang can definitely seek justice for her son, which is enough. They are currently newcomers, and the movement is too loud, deviating from the original purpose of quietly rooting and making a living in a low-key manner.

It's just that she didn't expect that what she said before would affect Gu Qiang in the end. Besides, she clearly said that she would give full authority to Gu Qiang to deal with, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back, and she took someone to do it. In the end, although the matter did not reach the sky, the movement was not small, not only alarming the magistrate, but also the adults above the magistrate.

In the afternoon, Zhang Da brought back Kang Xuanzhu and Wu Xiaoshan, who had all arms and legs, and at the same time, they also inquired about things. At this time, Qingyang also took Gu Yuanhe back. When the two parties are combined, especially in the presence of the parties, the things before and after are strung together.

The Guyuan River is to Gujia Village, which is a special kind of storage. Although the ancient mansion of the capital has not sent anyone back, no one can deny that Gu Yuanhe is the person of the ancient mansion of the capital. Gu Yuanhe is silent and walks alone every day, and the three points and lines of the two adobe houses in the village, the general's tomb and the fields are all he has in his daily life.

He was originally a strong young man, not bad looking, literate, or from the ancient mansion of the capital, in the village, he was the best young man, and he was the best husband in the eyes of the country girl. The year before last, there was an ugly girl in Lizheng's family who fell in love with him. Li Zheng found a matchmaker and wanted to marry the ugly girl in the family to him. He said that his marriage was decided by his father and mother, so he postponed it. Rizheng was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to attack on the spot.

Last year, Hua Sanniang, the sister-in-law of Hua Erniang, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, took her unmarried daughter to Gujia Village to visit relatives and saw Gu Yuanhe, who was helping people work in the fields. Gu Yuanhe looks good, his body is tall and strong, just like that, Hua Sanniang thought about it, looked at her daughter who was following behind, and saw that her daughter's expression contained shyness, and she knew that her daughter was also intentional.

So, Hua Sanniang sounded, and soon knew that Gu Yuanhe was the one who guarded the famous general's tomb, so she was full of joy, went to the village chief's house, and told her sister Hua Erniang that she wanted to get married. Hua Erniang had no status in the village chief's house, so she didn't speak, but just glanced at the village chief.

The village chief of Gujia Village and Li Zheng are also related, and with the same interests, the two families move around very frequently. The village chief knew that the ugly girl in Lizheng was rejected, and he pouted, the girl was ugly like that, and she still hoped to climb to the big family in the capital, so he was very disapproving. He naturally heard Hua Sanniang's words, so he glanced at the courtyard, Hua Sanniang's daughter was talking to his daughter-in-law, soft-spoken, and white and clean, very good.

The village chief moved in his heart, only such a girl could get into the eyes of a man who worked in a big family. He thought that if he formed this family, he could also use this relationship to climb the ancient mansion of the capital, not only to gain face, but also to benefit.

Unexpectedly, the village chief personally went out to talk about the matchmaker, but the result was the same as Li Zheng, and he returned home. So the rude daughter-in-law of the village chief's family pouted, saying that Gu Yuanhe even dared to beat her two brothers, so naturally she didn't take the village chief in her eyes, let alone marry the village chief's family.

Li Zheng heard about it, and also talked to the village chief about it, saying that they were relatives, and he asked Gu Yuanhe to refuse, and he was already very faceless, and the village chief under his control got up to it, didn't it make him, the chief, lose face twice. The village chief kept apologizing, invited Li Zheng to drink, and said that this Gu Yuanhe didn't take them seriously, and he must find a time to let Gu Yuanhe know who was the biggest in this Gujia Village.

Li Zheng reached an agreement with the village chief, and began to put small shoes on Gu Yuanhe. This family lost a handful of vegetables, that family lost an egg, and a naughty boy dug a pit on the road, and they all had to ask Gu Yuanhe if he did it. Gu Yuanhe had a relationship with any family in the village, so he went to knock on which one and isolated the already silent Gu Yuanhe.

The days quickly turned a year back, and there was still no one in the ancient mansion of the capital, and no one came forward for Gu Yuanhe. Not only the Li Zheng and the village chief of Gujia Village, but also the people of Shili and Eight Villages, as well as the parents, officials, officials, and catchers of Kangxi Town, all think that Gu Yuanhe is a subordinate who was abandoned by the ancient mansion of the capital.

So, after Gu Yuanhe once again stood up for the people from other villages and kicked the two brothers of the village chief's daughter-in-law, the village chief got Li Zheng's acquiescence and asked the three catchers in the town to help, robbed Gu Yuanhe of three acres of thin fields and two adobe houses, and drove Gu Yuanhe out of Gujia Village.

Gu Yuanhe built two thatched houses in the forest under the slope of the general's tomb to live in, and wrote a trust to take them to the capital. This letter was intercepted, and finally reached the hands of Li Zheng and the village chief.

The village chief and Li Zheng were frightened, if the ancient mansion of the capital really got the letter and sent someone down, the good days of the two of them would come to an end. They couldn't sit still, so they went into town, only to come back with a smile on their faces. Because he got the news, the ancient mansion of the capital was almost poor and couldn't open the pot, and most of the people ran away, and they didn't have time to take care of the dead general and the people guarding the general's tomb.

The news spread quickly, not only did the people in Shili Eight Village know about it, but even many people in Kangxi Town heard about it. Gu Yuanhe naturally heard about it, but he never believed it, and every winter he was given five taels of silver from the capital for a year's expenses, but this summer he brought in silver, which was still fifty taels. And his father also wrote to him that the lady in the house is now in charge, and the life of the whole house is getting better and better. His father also said that he would come to worship the general in winter, and by the way, he would see him. There is a young lady sitting in the capital, and his father can rest assured that he is traveling far away.

Gu Yuanhe wrote another letter and went to the town to find an acquaintance to pick up the letter, but was refused. After asking, I learned that someone had sent a message, whether it was a letter or something, as long as it was brought to the ancient mansion of the capital, it was not allowed to be answered. Not a single letter was delivered. Gu Yuanhe was in a hurry and wanted to run to the yamen to question, when he passed by a restaurant, and saw Li Zheng and the three catchers sitting together drinking from the wide open window.

He understood at once, forcibly suppressed the urge to go in and beat people, picked up the letter, and prepared to set off to Jinyang City tomorrow with enough money, looking for a passing caravan or post station to carry the letter. Unexpectedly, Li Zheng also saw him, and the three catchers chased him out. He was not afraid, and asked what he wanted to do. Catch a quick glance at each other, didn't dare to do anything to him, and left.

Gu Yuanhe went out of the town, returned to his thatched house, and found that the only belongings had been turned over, and he was so angry that he couldn't care about anything else, ran into Gujia Village, shouted that the village chief and Li Zheng got out, and shouted out their villain behavior for more than a year.

The village chief is at home, and Li has just entered the village. These two people were immediately annoyed and angry, and shouted at the people in the village to beat Gu Yuanhe. Some people retreated, and some people wanted to curry favor with Li Zheng and the village chief, so they started to attack Gu Yuanhe. Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanhe was also a powerful person, three or two people of the same age made a move, and he was beaten down after a while.

Li Zheng was frightened and called more people to come, and the two brothers of the village chief's daughter-in-law also rushed over, one with a pickaxe in his hand and the other with a harpoon.

No matter how powerful Gu Yuanhe is, he can hardly beat four hands with two fists, five or six crop men surround him, and two people with farm tools. In the chaos, Gu Yuanhe was stabbed by a harpoon on the outside of his thigh, and he was immediately drenched in blood. One shouted and killed, and the dead fled far away. Those who joined forces to beat him were also frightened and retreated again and again. And the one who stabbed Gu Yuanhe even threw a harpoon and ran out of the village.

Li Zheng saw that the matter was getting bigger, he stiffened his face and shouted that Gu Yuanhe would be tied up. He would never allow Gu Yuanhe to go out of the village like this, he wanted to control Gu Yuanhe and not let him talk nonsense.

Gu Yuanhe covered the wound with one hand, stared at Li Zheng with his eyes like a torch, and said word by word: "I am dead, and the Gu family in the capital will let your whole family be buried together; The heroic soul of the general will definitely make you Gujia Village, men, women and children unable to survive or die. ”

It's not just his expression that is scary, but his words are even more scary.

Hua Erniang, who has always been cowardly and timid, suddenly screamed, rushed into the crowd, and blocked in front of Gu Yuanhe, "You bastards, what are you going to do?" Do you want to rebel? Who is he? It is the person in the palace of the loyal general who was sealed by the imperial court, and the younger generation of the loyal general who is kind to the whole Gujia Village. Get out of here, all of them, all of them. ”

No one would have imagined that Hua Erniang would dare to stand up against the chief and the village chief when she was so powerful. The village chief changed his face at that time, stepped forward and slapped Hua Erniang in the face, and pushed her to the ground.

"Stop." The little old lady with her feet wrapped up, known as the third grandmother, was supported by her two little grandsons and walked over with an angry face. When the villagers saw it, men, women and children, they avoided it one after another. The third grandmother came to the village chief and slapped the village chief in front of the whole village, "Die!" Yes? If you want to die, get out of the village and hang yourself, don't try to drag the whole village into the water. ”

The village chief's face was embarrassed, and he glared.

The needle in the third grandmother's hand waved, "What are you staring at?" Stare again, poke you blind dog. ”

The village chief retreated in fright.

The third grandmother looked at Li Zheng, "What do you see?" Look again, I'll poke you blind first. ”

Li Zheng changed his face, scolded the dead old lady in a low voice, and walked away with his hands behind his back. When the village chief saw it, he hurried to follow.

The third grandmother was supported by her two grandsons and turned around, "Child, go with grandma, grandma will send you out of the village, and those two dogs don't dare to stop them." ”

Hua Erniang covered her face and whispered, "First, stop the bleeding first." ”

Gu Yuanhe said no, and thanked the third grandmother and Hua Erniang, dragged a wounded leg out of the village, returned to the thatched house, grabbed the ashes of the stove and pressed them on the wound, and bandaged them simply, ready to go into the deep forest to find herbs to stop bleeding. Before he could go out, he heard small footsteps outside, and he immediately grabbed the flat pole, "Who?" ”

The people outside seemed frightened and turned and ran.

He went out to check, only to see the back of a woman in a small blue floral dress running out of the forest, and on the ground, there were a few hemostatic grasses. The haemostat should have been freshly picked and the rhizome still stained with moisture. He picked it up, took it to the house, washed the wound with water, smashed the hemostatic herb and applied it to the wound, and bandaged it. After that, he would be thrown away from the east and west by a few pieces of coarse cloth clothes, a brush, a few pieces of paper on which to write credit, and a bag of wrappers were picked up.

Fortunately, he hid the silver tightly, otherwise it would have been taken away, which would really be called the heavens and the earth, and the earth would not be spiritual, and there would be no life.

Seeing that it was not early, he hastily made something to eat with his injured leg, grabbed the flat pole in his hand, and fell asleep on the plank bed. When it was almost dark, he didn't dare to sleep, and listened carefully to the movement outside, for fear that someone would harm him overnight.

In the second half of the night, he felt that he was a little hot and cold, and he realized that it was not good, but he could only stiffen up, thinking that he would wait for the dawn to go into the town to see the doctor. At the same time, his thatched hut came to an uninvited guest. He clenched the flat pole in one hand and the flint and steel in the other, ready to fight desperately.

The people outside seemed to be very careful, and when they took two steps closer, they listened for a while, and then they took two steps closer and listened for a while. In this way, little by little, I approached the thatched house. As the man walked under the simple wooden window of the thatched hut, he stepped on the clamp below, screamed miserably, and then fled quickly.

Gu Yuanhe didn't chase him out, but got up, lit a stove fire in the dark, and began to boil water. He sat on the stove until dawn, thinking that he could set off to the town, but he didn't expect it, but he was already burned in a daze, and he was weak, and he didn't have the strength to walk to the town at all.

Su's mother scolded "thunderstruck" and wiped her tears.

Three words quickly flashed in Qing Shu's mind: Peach Blossom Tribulation.
