Chapter 273: Guo Jiazhuang

On the outskirts of Fengqiu County, Kaifeng Prefecture

"Driving... Drive... Drive... ”

At this time, a group of more than ten horsemen galloped on the wilderness on the outskirts of Fengqiu County, rolling up several dusts that covered the sky and the sun, and among the dusty poplars, several vigorous knights surrounded a young court official and ran to the front.

"Xianggong, when you arrive, there is Guojiazhuang in front." Wu Miaoshan, the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, grabbed the reins and said to Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian nodded, and also strangled the healthy horse under his crotch, and looked at the farm in front of him carefully.

Guojiazhuang covers an area of about 100 inclinations, the surrounding village wall is about one zhang and five feet, there is a high slope on the left side of the farm, and there is a river on the right side. There are also several wooden towers within the village walls, which are designed to keep birds away or to protect against thieves, so the towers are generally guarded.

The view from the top of the tower is excellent, so when Li Sanjian brought people here, he was seen by the people above the tower before he got close.

"Who are you?" After Li Sanjian and the others approached the farm, several people on top of the tower asked loudly.

In the Song Dynasty, land was not annexed, so a large number of peasant households lost their land and became displaced people. Almost every year in the Song Dynasty, there are homeless or poor people who rise up, such as the four years of Song Chunhua, the outbreak of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun in Qingcheng County, Yong Kangjun.

It's just that the scale of the rebellion of the displaced people is not very large, and it was quickly suppressed by the imperial court, and Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun are among the larger ones.

The reason for the small scale of the uprising of the displaced people is that the imperial court brutally suppressed the uprising of the displaced people, and at the same time carried out pacification measures, and the peasant households who lost their land were either included in the army or incorporated into the towns and gave them a bite to eat as craftsmen and craftsmen.

In other words, as long as there is a bite to eat, who is willing to risk cutting off their heads to rebel?

Kaifeng Mansion is the capital of the world, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the land of Gyeonggi, so the public security situation is much better, but it is inevitable that some rogues harass the place, so like this kind of detached family, standing in the wilderness of the farmstead will have a certain protection, the owner will organize some Zhuang Ding to guard the courtyard, in case the rogue attack and disturbance.

Without Li Sanjian's orders, a government official immediately stepped forward and shouted: "The government judge and the minister have led people to come here on business, and quickly open the door." ”

Kaifeng Mansion Judge? Not to mention the judges, even a county magistrate is also a great official for them, so the Zhuang Ding did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly slipped down the tower, opened the Zhuang door, and welcomed Li Sanjian and others in.

Li Sanjian and the others are all wearing official robes, and their identities are clear at a glance, and there is no need to distinguish them at all.

"Where is Guo Yuanwai?" After entering the village, Wu Miaoshui asked.

"Which ... Which Guo Yuanwai? An older Zhuang Zhuang Ding asked rhetorically.

"Which one else?" Wu Miaoshui glared at Zhuang Ding fiercely and said, "Guo Yantong, the owner of Guojiazhuang, where is this person?" Take me and wait. ”

"Guo Jiazhuang is no longer surnamed Guo... There are no more Guo Zhuang owners in Guojiazhuang. The strong man replied.

"Guo Jiazhuang is not surnamed Guo? So who is the owner? Li Sanjian said in surprise when he heard this.

If Li Sanjian wants to know the details of the case, he must find Guo Bitong, so that he can know what kind of disease Guo Bitong was born with, so in addition to bringing Wu Miaoshui and others to Fengqiu County, Li Sanjian also brought Xu Shuwei, who has a deep understanding of "Gu disease", to Fengqiu County.

"Guojiazhuang has been owned by Xiangu, of course, there is no owner of Guozhuang." At this point, the Zhuang Ding are not afraid, anyway, there are few of them, what else can they do? Then another Zhuang Ding replied loudly.

"Bold, presumptuous!" Wu Miaoshan was furious, and shouted with half a knife out of its sheath.

"Hey, I'm a guest from afar, and the so-called guest doesn't deceive the master." After Li Sanjian quietly pushed Wu Miaoshan's knife back, he slowly asked Zhongzhuang Ding: "Guo... Where are the father and son? Take me and wait. ”

Li Sanjian felt that he was a little careless today, he came to Fengqiu County, and did not bring Yao Yu and Cai Yingxue, who were strong in martial arts, and even Shan Kui and Xu Biao's own two generals did not come together, the reason was that Yao Yu, Shan Kui, Xu Biao and others had other important matters, but they only brought Wu Miaoshan and more than a dozen other people to catch fast.

Anyway, his eldest sister Cai Rongxue can't just run around when she is fine, right?

At that time, Li Sanjian expected that such a farm should be able to be suppressed by going to a few quick catches, but at this time, Li Sanjian already felt that something was wrong from the situation in the farm.

But Li Sanjian and the others had already arrived at the farm, so it was impossible to go home.

While Li Sanjian was speaking, he gave Wu Miaoshan a look.

Wu Miaoshan understood, and quietly ordered a few words from one of his subordinates.

The Zhuang Ding had no choice but to take Li Sanjian, Wu Miaoshan and others to a house in the village.

The place where Guo and his family lived was a large house in the village, and there were some stables, cattle pens, pigsties, chicken coops and so on around the house. From the size of the house, stables, cattle pens, etc., it can be seen that the Guo father and son's family business is still not small, but now it is a dilapidated appearance.

"Where is Guo Yantong? Come out and talk back. After Li Sanjian, Wu Miaoshan and others entered the house, it was empty, so a catcher stood in the empty room and shouted loudly.

After a long time, Guo Cang, the son of Guo Yantong, helped Guo Yantong out.

After Li Sanjian saw Guo Biantong's father and son, he felt extremely puzzled in his heart, no matter what, Guo Biantong was once the owner of Guojiazhuang, how could he be like this?

Guo Yantong was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he looked black and thin, his face was also extremely ugly, he was mentally exhausted, and his face was full of sickness, where did he look like a pampered farmer? It is completely an old farmer who faces the loess all the year round, and is still a terminally ill old farmer.

"The little Guo father and son visit the official master." Before Guo Yan could speak, Guo Cang spoke first.

"Is that the official you reported to?" Li Sanjian asked Guo Cangdao.

"Yes ... No... Small... Small... Guo Cang glanced at the several Zhuang Ding who followed up with some horror, and said hesitantly.

Li Sanjian frowned and glanced at Zhuang Ding.

"Get out!" Seeing this, Wu Miaoshan shouted to several Zhuang Ding: "The old man is handling the case, do you need to wait?" ”

Several Zhuang Ding still hesitated to go out when they heard this, so they were blasted out by Wu Miaoshan and others.

If it was in Kaifeng Mansion, people like them would have been taken to prison a long time ago, and the crime was obstructing official business, but this was in Guojiazhuang, so Wu Miaoshan and others had no choice but to take power and blow them away.

"Now you can say, why do you want to report to the official?" After only Guo's father and son, Li Sanjian and others were left in the room, Li Sanjian asked again.

"Master, big master, the little father and son have a great grievance, please ask the big master to be the master of the little father and son." When Guo Cang saw the Zhuang Ding go out, he fell to his knees all of a sudden, kowtowing and crying.

"Shut up!" Before Li Sanjian could speak, Guo Yantong suddenly opened his mouth and reprimanded angrily: "What grievances? Where are the grievances? Wei'er, why did you report to the official? The fairy aunt cured my illness, but you reported it to the official? You're taking revenge. ”

"Daddy, don't talk about it." Guo Cang turned his head to Li Sanjian and said: "Master, my father has been ill for a long time, and he has been bewitched by others, he has long lost his mind, and his ancestral property has been deceived by others, but he is still speaking for them. ”

"Fart!" Hearing this, Guo Yan pointed at Guo Cang and said angrily: "The Great Ming God illuminates the earth and purifies all sentient beings, and we donate our meager property to the divine envoy, which is a blessing for us, and it is something that we can't ask for... ”

"Take it down, give this official a good test of what the hell is going on with him? What is the disease? Li Sanjian was too lazy to listen to this person who had lost his mind talking nonsense and yelling here, so he ordered Wu Miaoshan and the others.

When Wu Miaoshan heard this, he stepped forward with several catchers and pressed Guo Yan to the ground with all hands and feet.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I'm not sick, the fairy Gu has cured my illness, where is there still illness? The Great Myojin will send down the heavenly fire and burn you to death... Mmmmmm Guo Yantong looks old and thin, but his strength is not small when he struggles, and Wu Miaoshan and the others can't hold him down.

"The judge is fair, this will not work." Uncle Xu, who came with him, said with a slightly embarrassed face.

"Is there any way to calm him down?" Li Sanjian nodded and asked.

"Offended!" When Wu Miaoshan heard this, a palm knife hit Guo Yantong's neck, and immediately knocked him unconscious, and of course he quieted down.

"You ... YOU ARE ... What are you doing? Guo Cang knew in his heart that Li Sanjian and others were investigating the case, but he couldn't bear it in his heart.

Li Sanjian waved his hand to signal Xu Shuwei to hurry up and check, and then said to Guo Cang: "There is a reason for the incident, so I have to follow the power, Guo Xiaoyuan, when did Ling Zun become ill?" ”

"Master, my father became ill at this time last year, and the younger one remembered that his father fell ill after returning home from a trip." Guo Cang replied.

"It's been a year?" Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Go out and go home?" Could it be a disease contracted from outside? Can there be the same disease as Ling Zun in the village? ”

"Nope." Guo Cang shook his head and said, "Of course, there are people in the village who are sick, but none of them have the same symptoms as my father. ”

"What's the matter with the fairy girl? Who is she? What's your last name? Li Sanjian asked again.

"Immortal?" Guo Cang thought for a while and replied: "The little fairy girl only knows that her surname is Huang, and her name is 'Inspiration Golden Flower Yellow Fairy Gu', she is a living bodhisattva who is famous here to save the suffering, cure the sick and save people, and give grace to others. ”

"'Inspiration Golden Flower Yellow Fairy Gu'?" Li Sanjian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "After the fairy aunt showed Ling Zun, can Ling Zun's illness improve?" ”

"It's not a disease, it's someone who poisoned it." When Li Sanjian was still asking Guo Cang, Xu Shuwei had already completed a rough inspection, so he spoke.
