"The Divine Decree has arrived!" The people hid to the side and watched the bustle. Liu Yichen also felt very strange that he didn't write to the emperor again.

Liu Yichen was kneeling in the middle of the road, and the little eunuch continued to read the holy decree. "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Due to the war, Tanzhou was exempted from taxes for one year. ”

The people couldn't believe their ears when they listened to the words of the little eunuch. "Is it true?" They also came out one after another, kneeling heavily.

"Hooray!" The surroundings turned into a sea of joy, and the little eunuch looked at the excited people, and he was simply embarrassed.

When the little eunuch left, Liu Yichen raised up again and patted the dust on his body. "So far, live and work in peace and contentment, and be politically harmonious."

In the crowd, suddenly there was a showman, dressed in white, pointing to the silver. "These are the gifts of the old county king, and all the people must not forget their kindness!"

Liu Yichen looked at this person carefully, it turned out that he was the little Xiucai who was beaten and escaped when he first entered Tanzhou City, but he came back today.

When the people heard this, they laughed heartily. "The old county king treats us and other people as if he were his biological parents, how dare he be disobedient!"

Looking at this, Liu Yichen's heart also settled down. "The people love the king so much, the atmosphere will be pure, and there will be no more evil."

In the past few days, he went to recruit those barbarians, and the soldiers set up barriers everywhere, surrounded and intercepted, and the barbarians also dropped their weapons and had to surrender.

Liu Yichen ordered the soldiers to be kind to these barbarians. They were given ploughing oxen and grain seeds. He set up a government office on the mountains and persuaded them to plough the fields.

At the same time, those officials who plotted rebellion were also arrested one by one. Liu Yichen looked at them with a serious gaze, stretched out his fingers, and said sharply to them.

"You rebellious ministers and thieves, when you see wealth, you are fascinated by ghosts, and you actually do such a thing, and the court will punish you fairly, but you have to confess."

Those officials, staring at each other with big eyes, they couldn't imagine that there would be such a day. After a short while, they couldn't hold on.

Liu Yichen then said majestically. "Put each of them in a separate room, let them be interrogated, and then hand over the documents to me."

The officials were kept in solitary confinement, and the officials, the jailers, interrogated them strictly. Just one night, they confessed.

Liu Yichen returned to his residence, and the old county Wang Zheng was with Song Zhiyao. "This little girl is really good, and the king who takes care of her is very comfortable."

It turned out that Song Zhiyao had been serving the old county king for the past few days, and helped him massage his back and make beautiful pastries for the old county king to taste.

Liu Yichen also said with a smile. "Seniors, those things have passed, as long as you love all the people, all the people will love us too."

Hearing this, the old county king raised the wrinkles on his forehead and smiled. "Think of it as a dream! Old decay, from now on, is just doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. “

He drank the mellow tea, held the rosary in his hand, closed his eyes, and recited the Buddhist scriptures devoutly. Song Zhiyao also followed.

Liu Yichen said with a smile. "Good Yao'er, it's really a good thing to be able to enlighten the old county king, the people in this place have a good life, and I will feel at ease."

Song Zhiyao threw herself into his arms and smiled warmly. "It's not all because of you, in this life of the slave family, there is only Xianggong alone."

When the two of them arrived in the room, they were tired of it for a long time before they fell asleep. The next day, Liu Yichen arrived at the county office early, and he wanted to try the papers.

Those officials respectfully handed the document to Liu Yichen. He examined it for a long time, and then he understood how these people should be punished.

Soon, he was promoted again. "Bring those who plotted rebellion!" The wooden flail over there clicked, and the officials were escorted up.

Liu Yichen read the verdict aloud. "The county ordered Wang Lin, plotting to purchase weapons, forcibly expropriating and extorting such crimes, he should raid his family and exterminate his family, and then by grace of the saint, he should be exiled to the far evil military state."

The official below, listening to every word, his expression changed rapidly. In the end, I was about to cry, and when I heard the words in the back, I kowtowed heavily.

"Long live my emperor!" He was already frightened to madness, and the officials took him by the arm, and went down hard, and soon disappeared at the end.

The rest of the officials also kowtowed one after another, and the heavy wooden shackles were full of blood marks on their necks. "Adults, spare the little ones."

Liu Yichen looked at their ridiculous appearance and thought secretly in his heart. "Human nature is so ridiculous, and they deserve it."

Then he continued to read it out. "The county ordered Hong Tao to privately collude with the barbarians and commit rebellion, and was specially sentenced to raid his house and serve for five years."

"Yang De was sentenced to confiscate his family property and be beaten as a lowly member." Every time Liu Yichen read out, an official was dragged down the hall with force.

It took a long time for Liu Yichen to finish reading. Looking at the empty lobby, he laughed loudly. "In this world, it's ridiculous."

The officials knelt to the side and shouted loudly. "Your Excellency is mighty." Liu Yichen looked at them, flicked his sleeves, and walked out.

The people looked at the greedy officials, who were now being put into the prison cart one by one, and their faces were listless, and they cheered and threw dirty things at them.

Liu Yichen looked over there and smiled with satisfaction. "The people have this bad breath, and they will miss us in the future, this trip is really not in vain."

Thinking about it, he went straight back to his residence. At this time, the old county king stood in front solemnly. In the back, there is a black wooden coffin with a golden dragon painted on it.

A large row of people, carrying the coffin one by one, sweated on their tired heads. Looking over there, Liu Yichen also understood what was going on.

The old county king said very solemnly. "It is the emperor's grace that allows the old to be decayed, and bury the dog with the gift of the prince, and the rest will be written off."

Song Zhiyao and Hou Qu walked beside the coffin one left and one right. "Brother Huang, send it to the cemetery now, today, it is an auspicious day."

Liu Yichen listened to Hou Qu's words and also walked to the coffin. Looking at King Ling, his pale face, his eyes were open, and he seemed to have a smile.

He gently stroked the pale face and said helplessly. "All this is providential, and I can't blame you, if there is an afterlife, I will make amends."

As soon as Liu Yichen's words fell, a loud thunderclap came from the sky. The eyes that had been open also closed their eyelids and slowly closed.

The old county king looked over there and cried loudly. "Oh my son!" Slapped the coffin heavily, and then stuck to King Ling's corpse, lovingly caressed.

Song Zhiyao was on the side, and she was also moved to cry by this scene. "It's really a father-son relationship, even if it's so, I can't let go of my own flesh and blood."

They walked all the way and looked at the cemetery on the hill. There are beautiful murals painted on it. On both sides of the gate, golden dragon heads are carved.

A row of monks and Taoists in the back also chanted the scriptures together. Those people, seeing this scene, also sighed secretly, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

The cold wind was blowing, a few dark clouds were drifting, and soon it was raining. Liu Yichen and them are still moving forward in the rain.

Finally arrived at the cemetery, the old county king, patted the coffin heavily, and looked up to the sky and howled. "It's been like a dream for decades, let's go to everything we need to go!"

The monks and Taoists on the side surrounded in front of the grave. Inside, there are many brilliant gold and silver jewelry, as well as calligraphy, paintings, and statues.

While burning a coarse incense, the smoke drifted towards the sky. The children around them, on the side, sprinkled white flowers one after another.

Xiaoqinhua sat quietly on the side, playing mournful music. Those people also cried one after another, and said many good things about King Ling, and they didn't say those evil things anymore.

Liu Yichen sighed on the side. "It's really like a lamp going out, it's all over, we should go too, there are more important things."

He and Song Zhiyao, the two of them went together, knelt in front of the grave, and put on a pillar of incense. The two of them closed their eyes tightly and recited Buddhist scriptures silently.

"Amitabha, be happy from suffering." It was not until it was dark that the men dispersed. The old county king also went back.

His expression had completely collapsed, just the corners of his mouth, constantly twitching, and muttering to himself. "That's it, he's living a good life."

While comforting the old county king, the few of them quickly returned to the palace. "A few of you, it's really hard to get over it when you accompany the old decay again."

Song Zhiyao also knew that the old man who had suffered such a heavy blow needed understanding the most. "Senior, we will stay for a few days and serve you well."

In the past few days, Mrs. Lu has also given the old county king a nourishing medicine. He drank the medicine and stopped crying every day, just continued to chant the Buddha.

After these days, Liu Yichen said to them. "It's time for us to go now, and now the old county king has also recovered his health."

Song Zhiyao and the others went to the old king's room and bid farewell to him. The old king, with his hair shaved bald, was wearing a white robe.

He just shook his head gently and recited a few Buddhist verses. It was inconvenient for a few people to disturb them any longer, so they packed up their things and went along the established route.

The carriage kept shaking, and Hou Qu just looked at the Shang Fang sword, looking at the blade, his eyes were distracted, and he was stunned for a long time before asking.

"Brother Huang, do you say that there is really an afterlife in this world?" Liu Yichen looked at him like that, and he also understood what was going on, and smiled indifferently.

"Nature has an afterlife, all the virtues that have been accumulated, the good deeds that have been done, will have results, and those who will only meet in the next life will naturally meet each other."

Listening to Liu Yichen's relief, Hou Qu smiled innocently. "The villain has seen a lot of this sword shadow, and he will see my sister in the next life, brother."

Song Zhiyao was on the side, and she also laughed. "I didn't expect a dignified martial arts master to be like a child, this innocence is really precious."

After tossing and turning for a long time along the way, it was completely dark next to a mountain rock. Over there, I saw a post station with bright lanterns.

Liu Yichen and the others drove the horses all the way, and they also felt tired. "It's going to rain again this day, so let's rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Hou Qu smelled the aroma of wine over there and ran in excitedly. "Take the altar wine for the uncle, ask for the most fragrant and purest wine, and give a few pieces of good meat to eat."

He had just held the wine jar and drank it in a big gulp, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the other side. The figure looked back at him, too.

"Big brother!" It turned out that this person was Xiong Li, his body was wrapped in a white cloth with a wound, and he couldn't suppress his excitement, so he ran towards Houqu quickly.

Xiong Li was excited, and his eyes were full of tears. "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be alive, the young general sent a secret guard to rescue the younger brother."

Hou Qu also leaned against him tightly and smiled happily. "I thought we would see each other in the next life, but I didn't expect that, brother, our fate is endless."

Liu Yichen looked at their happy appearance, and he was also happy in his heart. "That's a good thing." At this time, a warm hand patted him on the shoulder.

He turned his head and looked at Si Baihong, his refreshing face was more pale and handsome than before. "Brother, have you gone to Heaven this time?"

Liu Yichen said half-jokingly, but after a short time of parting, Si Baihong's appearance became so beautiful so quickly.

Si Baihong listened to his words, shook the black hair on his forehead, his eyes showed a trace of ease, looked at him in a chic manner, and said with a smile.

"Good brother, it's been a long time since I left, and the villain didn't go anywhere else, just wandering around the capital, going to Biansai today, and taking over my father's place."

His eyes looked around, with his peripheral vision, looking into the corner. always wanted to see Song Zhiyao, but she couldn't say it by herself.
