After the Beiping Mansion is finished, the owners of the eighteen villages have also left, but Qin Qiong has not left for a long time, not that he is greedy for the comfort here, but now there are more than a month before the Huanggang is closed, in case the Jinan Mansion has not recovered the Huanggang, if he goes back, I am afraid that the case will inevitably fall on him.

But as the saying goes, what should come must always come, how can it be so simple to block and avoid? On this day, Qin Qiong had just rested, and suddenly dreamed that his door was surrounded by the officials of Jinan Mansion, but fortunately, Luo Shixin remembered his instructions before leaving, and stopped the officials at the door. But Qin's mother thought that Qin Qiong had committed another disaster, so she was seriously ill in bed, while Jia and Qin Huaiyu were nervous and fruitless beside the couch, constantly looking forward to Qin Qiong's return as soon as possible. Dreaming of this, Qin Qiong woke up suddenly, and when it was dawn, she hurriedly said goodbye to Luo Yi and hurried back to Jinan Mansion.

When he returned to Jinan Mansion, it was seven days later, Qin Qiong had just arrived outside his house, and before he entered the door, he saw Fan Hu outside the door and Luo Shixintao: "Hey! I said, Shixin, you always know me, right? Why didn't you let me in? ”

"You go out, my sister-in-law said that my mother's illness is all caused by your officials, and no one who is an official can enter the house!" Luo Shixin is a strong tiger, Fan Hu couldn't resist his pushing, and was pushed out of the way, but fortunately, Luo Shixin knew Fan Hu, so he didn't push Zhang Gongjin as hard.

"Believers and believers! I'm just here to ask if your brother has come back, you can be light! "No, no, go!"

Fan Hu had no choice but to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Qin Qiong leading the horse, so he hurriedly went over to help Qin Qiong lead the horse, and was snatched by Luo Shixin as soon as he took over the hand, so he had to ask Qin Qiong first: "Brother Qin!" Why did you only come back today? ”

"Something delayed, what's wrong?" Qin Qiong had already guessed in her heart, but she still pretended not to know and asked. As soon as he asked, Fan Hu also poured beans into a bamboo tube and said the matter, sure enough, Jinan Mansion inquired for half a month because of the matter of the Emperor Gang to no avail, after Qin Qiong's original county official recommended, Tang Bi sent someone to ask Qin Qiong to take over the case, but Qin Qiong had already gone to Beiping Mansion, and the officials of Jinan Mansion had to investigate every three days, and came to Qin's house every five days to disturb them, as a result, Qin's mother was worried that something had happened to Qin Qiong, and she became ill.

"Fan Hu, you go back to the official office first! After I visited my mother, I went to the government to receive orders. Hearing Qin Qiong say this, Fan Hu left. And when Luo Shixin saw Qin Qiong coming back, he happily led the horse and followed Qin Qiong into the house. After entering the house, Qin Qiong first greeted Jia's family, and then comforted Qin Huaiyu, and then went to the bed to confess to Qin's mother. After this incident, Qin Qiong went to Jinan Mansion to take up a post again, so naturally it was indispensable to take over the imperial gang.

But although this matter was taken over, how to deal with it was a problem, Qin Qiong thought about it, and decided to go to Runanzhuang first, if he could discuss with You Junda to come up with a countermeasure, it would naturally be better. However, when she arrived at Runanzhuang, Qin Qiong saw white silk paper flowers hanging high on the door of Runanzhuang, and a pair of elegiac couplets were also written in black and white on both sides of the gate, and a couplet on the right said: This life is a moth; A couplet on the left says: The heavens are licking the calves. The horizontal batch at the top of the door is: birthday and blessing. Could it be that there is someone in the village who is ancient? Qin Qiong clicked on the door a few times in confusion, but no one came to open the door.

At this time, in Runan Village, Zhu Neng was asking You Junda: "Owner, Qin Ye is here, do you want to invite him in?" ”

"Please! Absolutely! Although You Junda said please, the tone was clearly reluctant. Zhu Neng knew why You Junda had such an attitude, so he didn't say much, he just went to open the door for Qin Qiong first, and You Junda left the back hall after making arrangements for everything.

You Junda was worried in his heart, originally according to his plan, Qin Qiong would visit the door at most ten days after robbing the Emperor Gang, and at that time he had already arranged a funeral, saying that he was mourning and had no time to rob the Emperor Gang. But when he held the funeral, he received a flying pigeon from Wang Junke, saying that it was Luo Cheng's wedding and invited the heads of the eighteen villages to go to the banquet, which hurt him! Luo Cheng got married, Qin Qiong, as Luo Cheng's cousin, how could there be any reason not to go? But if Qin Qiong goes to Beiping Mansion, what will he do with the funeral here? Could it be that he really wants to hold a funeral at home for a month and wait for Qin Qiong to come back? Of course, he knew better that he must not go to Beiping Mansion, otherwise he would not be able to explain it clearly when Qin Qiong asked, but he hesitated so much, and when he remembered Luo Cheng's marriage and wanted Qi Guoyuan to bring a gift, Qi Guoyuan had already gotten up and left! But even so, You Junda didn't blame anyone, what was even more annoying was that he originally thought that Qin Qiong would come back in half a month at most, but it turned out that Qin Qiong didn't come until now for a month and a half, and he had been doing a funeral in Runan Village for almost two months, and it is estimated that everyone in Runan County knew about it! But now that Qin Qiong is here, he can only greet him, and as for how to deal with Qin Qiong, he has also thought of countermeasures.

"Brother Qin! My mother passed away, and my younger brother never went out to greet him, please forgive me. You Junda's face was sad, and with the support of his subordinates, he slowly walked towards Qin Qiong, and everyone behind him also stood up, which could be regarded as a salute to Qin Qiong.

And Qin Qiong stepped into the second gate of Runanzhuang, looking at You Junda wearing black shoes, wearing hemp rope around his waist, and his face was haggard, and he also had some doubts in his heart whether You Junda had made a fake and recruited a bad star, and really killed his family. But when I took a closer look behind You Junda, I found that except for You Junda, who had a sad look on his face, the others were more trembling, looking at each other, as if they were worried about something.

"The owner of You Zhuang is polite, dare to ask who in the house has passed away? Have you ever notified the brothers to come to mourn? Qin Qiong stepped forward to hug You Junda, and the two walked into the mourning hall together.

"Brother Qin is worried, the person who passed away is my godmother, Brother Qin should know that the younger brother has been dead since he was a child, and the younger brother had to be a godmother when he was a child, and when he met his godmother half a year ago, he knew that her parents were not filial, I took her to the village to support, but unfortunately the godmother was not blessed! It's only been half a year, and I've died! And my godmother is usually quiet, so she doesn't dare to work on the trek of the brothers! In You Junda's words, his expression was sad, and at the end of his words, two lines of tears also flowed from his eyes, and Qin Qiong was a little moved, which made Qin Qiong's idea of pushing open the coffin lid to expose You Junda's thoughts and stopping, just because in case You Junda really died of his family, wouldn't he be a taboo, so he asked again: "Dare to ask how long it has been since Ling Tang passed away, why hasn't he been buried for a long time?" ”

Ahh At this time, Cheng Yanjin, who was in the cellar, sneezed coldly, which made him wonder what happened to him today, why did he still sneeze on a hot day? Today was supposed to be fine, but suddenly someone came to report that Qin Qiong, who they had been wary of all these days, had finally arrived. You Junda was worried that he was going to break down with his outspokenness, and he was afraid that the people in the village would not be able to look down on him, so he let him hide in the cellar. But due to the suddenness of the incident, the people in the village did not make any preparations, this summer, the cellar and the steamer can be said to be no different, at this time Cheng Yanjin, who was already so hot that he took off his clothes, shouted to the top: "Hey! The above, is it okay? Get me out, you want to heat me to death! However, no one responded to him, and he was angry and said to himself: "You fucking You Junda, crying my mother for three months, and locked Lao Tzu here, wait for me to go out to see if I don't beat you!" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Qin, the younger brother originally planned to be buried after the first seven, but the godmother told her on her deathbed that it must be buried in 100 days, so it has not been buried so far, and it has been 80 days now, and it will be buried in 20 days!" In the front hall, You Junda said something again. Qin Qiongxin said: You can really make it up! I have only heard that a newborn baby has a hundred days to live, how can there be a saying that a dead person will have to be buried for a hundred days? I will be buried in 100 days, and I am afraid that the corpses will stink on this hot day! But when he saw that You Junda didn't look guilty at all, and it was not easy to debunk it directly, he asked again: "According to this, presumably more than a month ago, the emperor of Dengzhou Mansion was robbed in Changye Forest, and it was not the cause of the owner of You Zhuang, so can the owner of You Zhuang know who robbed the emperor?" ”

"Huanggang? What Emperor? You Junda said with a puzzled face: "Brother Qin, filial piety comes first, the godmother passed away, and the hundred days of filial piety period, how dare the younger brother do things in the filial piety period!" As for who did the matter of the emperor, the brothers of Zhuang were strictly grounded by me during this period, and they have never heard about it. ”

"Oh! That's it! Since the owner of You Zhuang is still in the filial piety period, it is inconvenient for the foolish brother to bother more, so he will leave! Qin Qiong got up and stood up, just took two steps and turned back and said: "Master You Zhuang, Ling Tang is ancient, and the foolish brother and You Zhuang Master also have some friendship, I don't know if I can allow Brother Ling Tang to see Ling Tang's remains?" Qin Qiong said, one hand was already on top of the coffin, while looking at the coffin, the corner of his eye glanced at the people in the mourning hall, only to see that these people all stretched their hands behind their waists, it seemed that as long as he opened the coffin, these people would immediately come up and kill him!

Qin Qiongxin said that You Junda deserved to be the leader of a party, and he was really meticulous in doing things, although the rhetoric of March filial piety sounded far-fetched, as long as he dared to debunk it on the spot, everyone in the mourning hall would immediately come up and arrest him. And because he entered the door empty-handed, and the double hammer was still on the horse, how could he resist the siege of so many people! Qin Qiong recognized the situation and immediately pretended not to see it, but looked up at You Junda and continued to ask for his consent.

"Brother Qin, this is not good! My godmother's coffin has been sealed, and if you open the coffin at this time, won't you trap me in unfilial piety? You Junda's answer was in Qin Qiong's mind, and Qin Qiong took the opportunity to say: "Even so, the foolish brother is not embarrassed by Master You, it's just that you and I have known each other after all, since I am here, I should also kowtow to Lingtang." ”

You Junda saw that Qin Qiong's demeanor didn't seem to be fake, so he agreed. And Qin Qiong really walked to the front of the hall and kowtowed three times to the coffin before getting up to leave. As soon as Qin Qiong left, You Junda's tense heart finally let go, and immediately dismissed everyone, removed the incense case, and changed back into their respective clothes.

You Junda was so shocked that he almost squirted out a sip of tea, and hurriedly called a group of his subordinates back, and after he himself hurriedly put on his filial piety clothes, he hurried to see Qin Qiong at the door, so as to gain more time for everyone to prepare. It's just that as soon as he walked out of the second door, he saw that Qin Qiong had arrived in front of him with a fragrant paper horse in his hand, and there were still two famous weapons hanging on his waist-tile-faced gold armor. You Junda was suspicious, but he still greeted him and asked, "Huh?" Brother Qin, why are you back again? ”

Qin Qiong looked at You Junda's face, the original pale was gone, but more of it was full of red light, and the previous posture was like two people, Qin Qiong pretended not to know and replied: "Shicai passed by the funeral shop on the street, and felt that it was rude to kowtow alone, so I bought some incense paper horses and then came to Lingtang to put some incense paper." I wonder if Lingtang's incense case has been removed? ”

"What did Brother Qin say, my mother still has twenty days to complete the sacrifice of the hundred days, how can the incense case be removed, Brother Qin, please!" When You Junda said this, he was also a little uncertain in his heart, when he cleaned up the mourning hall before, it was true that the incense case was indeed removed, but he hadn't come to arrange this when he came out this time, and he was busy wearing filial piety clothes, and it was really hard to say whether the people inside had set up the incense case.

Sure enough, when the two of them stepped into the second door, they saw that there were many people in the mourning hall, but the incense case in front of the hall was nowhere to be seen, so anxious that You Junda hurriedly shouted: "Zhu Neng!" Who asked you to remove the old lady's incense case? Bring it back! ”

"No need!" At this time, Qin Qiong grabbed You Junda's hem and lifted it up, and mocked: "Master You Zhuang, the mourning period is colorful, what kind of filial piety is pretending!" It turned out that You Junda was in a hurry to stop Qin Qiong, so he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly put on his filial piety clothes and went out.

You Junda was defeated, and he broke away from Qin Qiong's hand backwards, and his filial piety clothes were also torn apart, and he shouted again, "Do it!" Everyone in the courtyard immediately stepped forward to surround Qin Qiong.

"What? You Junda, do you still want to kill me? Qin Qiong's question is not without reason, he has some friendship with Shan Xiongxin, the owner of Luzhou Erxian Village, and Shan Xiongxin is the chief owner of the Eighteen Villages, if You Junda moves him today, Shan Xiongxin will never spare him.

"Brother Qin laughed." You Junda said with a smile: "How dare I kill you!" It's just that I want to force Brother Qin to stay in my village for a few more days, and when the matter of the emperor is over, you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

"So you really robbed the Emperor Gang? Do you know that if I can't make a difference, all the officials in Jinan Mansion will be questioned! Your life is your life, isn't the life of all the officials in Jinan Mansion life? ”

"Huh!" You Junda sneered twice and asked: "Brother Qin, since I also asked you a word about this, you have also walked a lot on both sides of the Yellow River, do you think that now in addition to Dengzhou Mansion and Beiping Mansion, there is still a place in the world for the people to settle down?" Let's just say that Wang Bodang of Guanyunzhai is there, Luoyang used to be the capital and fine, but since the capital was moved to Luoyang, the taxes of the people there have doubled compared with the past, and most of them have not been filled by the government; Let's talk about Tianshui Village Qi Guoyuan, a few days ago I sent someone to ask him to help me bring a gift to Luo Cheng, but do you know what the people who came back said? Because it was close to the canal, and the imperial court ordered that there should be no obstruction on both sides of the canal, the local government even sent troops to expel the people. It's a good thing now, the people still have to rely on us who occupy the mountains as kings to help, it's a joke to say! Such a court, such an official mansion, not to mention implicating one in Jinan Mansion, even if there are a few more, I, You Junda, will never feel distressed! I'm going to persuade you, Brother Qin! You also took off this official skin as soon as possible, and the people in the province were scolded by the people in the spine on the other day! When this time the emperor is over, I don't think you can go back, just join our eighteen villages, we are absolutely happy to respect you brother! If you agree, tomorrow, no! Now I can let people go to Jinan Mansion to pick up my aunt, sister-in-law and Ling Lang, let's marry Jinlan here, and I, the owner of Runan Village, am willing to give it to you! How is it? ”

"Shut up!" Qin Qiong shouted to stop You Junda. Although he also knows that the court has been immoral over the years, he has never had the idea of rebellion, his uncle Luo Yi and uncle Qiu Rui are now important ministers of the court, if he rebels, is it not a humiliation for the lintel? But the people of the Eighteen Villages are anxious for justice and righteousness, and he knows it even better, otherwise how could he have befriended these people over the years. "Although there are many immoral policies in the court, there are also loyal people in the court, and those who are ministers can rebel because of the monarch's mistakes for a while. People who are not saints and sages can be without fault, although the saints are at fault, but if one day they can wake up and stop fighting, it is not impossible for the Great Sui Society to flourish again! You Junda, I am only here today for the matter of Huanggang, for the sake of past friendships, as long as you hand over Huanggang today, I can not arrest you. Huanggang recovered, even if Jinan Mansion can't be completely exonerated, but at least there will be no more killings, how? ”

Qin Qiong thought it was very good, but You Junda poured cold water on him: "Brother Qin, you will be embarrassed to be a junior brother." To tell you the truth, the 480,000 taels of the Emperor Gang have been smelted by me and exchanged for food to help the people. If you had come a month ago, you might have a little left, now? Don't say return it all, even one or two, I can't take it out! ”

"You...... You Junda, don't you really want to watch Jinan Mansion because you are implicated? "Qin Qiong doesn't believe that the 480,000 taels of the Emperor Gang is really gone, and if such a large sum of money is exchanged for food, I'm afraid that the entire Runan Village will not be able to fit it! At the same time, he also blamed himself for being too whimsical, if he could have taken over this case earlier, how could it be the current situation.

"Since the words are not speculative, Brother Qin, you are offended! Brothers, take down Qin Qiong first, don't get hurt! Above! You Junda ordered everyone to take down Qin Qiong, and at the same time took over the five-strand Heavenly Fork from the hands of the general, and the courtyard suddenly became a sword and a sword. But at this time, Qin Qiong had both gongs in his hands, how could he be afraid of these people, the two golden gongs opened and closed at once, and half of them fell to the ground in a moment, fortunately, Qin Qiong did not kill him, but just beat everyone to the ground and couldn't move for a while, otherwise Runanzhuang would have been dyed red with blood.

Seeing that his subordinates were about to be put down by Qin Qiong, You Junda clenched the Tuotian Fork and killed it, but after only three faces, he was hit by Qin Qiong and kicked him to the chair next to him. Qin Qiong pointed at You Junda's neck with a mace, and the rest of the people threw a mouse trap, and they didn't dare to step forward again for a while.

"Qin Qiong, if you want to arrest me, I am the mastermind in this matter, and I have nothing to do with others!" When Qin Qiong heard You Junda say this, she also admired You Junda in her heart, and was about to promise him, but she heard another roar from the courtyard: "Brother, don't be afraid, brother is here!" ”

Qin Qiong took a look and saw a fat man with a beard rushing over with a big axe. "Cheng Da?" Qin Qiong remembered the "Cheng Da and Eugene" written on the wanted notice, with a beard and a fat man, holding a Xuanhua axe in his hand, isn't this the person in front of him! And when he thought about it, Cheng Da also killed in front of him, and the Xuanhua axe rose and fell, accompanied by a "split head"! Falling from the top of Qin Qiong's head, only halfway through, Qin Qiong noticed that the axe was obviously hesitant.

Dodging to avoid the chopping axe, Qin Qiong hit the handle of the axe, the huge force shook Cheng Da's mouth numb, and then kicked out sideways, Cheng Da staggered and retreated to the outside of the hall, Qin Qiong was about to go over to restrain Cheng Da, but Cheng Da said first: "Wait a while, make it clear before fighting!" Where did you get those two sticks in your hand? To make it clear, we have our own ability to win or lose; I can't tell you clearly, even if you don't want Grandpa Cheng's life, you have to leave these two sticks behind! ”

Although Qin Qiong didn't know why the other party suddenly asked this, she still replied: "This pair of maces is my family heirloom?" I don't know what to say. ”

"Are you Qin Shubao?" Cheng Da asked rhetorically.

"It's down there!"

"Brother!" When Cheng Da heard this, the big axe fell to the ground with a pop, and the person also ran over and knelt at Qin Qiong's feet, crying: "Uncle Bao, I'm an ugly!" Bite the gold! When I was a child, we still played together! ”

"Bite the gold!" Qin Qiong helped Cheng Yanjin up and looked at it carefully, after so many years, the current Cheng Yanjin is very different from when he was a child. When his father Qin Yi died in Ma Mingguan, the domestic servant Qin An fled to Cheng Biting Jin's house with him and Qin's mother, and was kindly taken in by Cheng's mother, so as not to be displaced, Qin's mother repaid this kindness and asked Qin Qiong to worship Cheng's mother as her godmother, Cheng Biting Jin naturally became Qin Qiong's younger brother, it can be said that although the two are not brothers, they are better than brothers. And under Qin An's teaching, he practiced martial arts diligently and grew up slowly, if it wasn't for the fact that the Cheng family didn't come back because of family affairs, how could he and Cheng Yanjin be separated for many years.

"Bite the gold! It's really you! Qin Qiong hugged Cheng Biting Jin excitedly, and the parting feelings for many years were finally not transformed into too many words.

"It's me! It's me! Cheng Yanjin was not excited. Originally, he had just come out of the cellar and was taking a bath in the pool in the backyard, but Zhu Neng came to call him halfway through the bath, saying that You Junda's strategy had been seen through and was confronting people in the front hall, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed over to help. As soon as he made his move, he saw Qin Qiong's double move. When he was a child, he secretly watched Qin Qiong being punished by Qin's mother, and Qin's mother often pointed to the double gong and warned Qin Qiong: A good boy is born in the world, he should stand up to the sky, look up to the sky, and bow down to the earth! The family and the country are in mind, and loyalty and filial piety are the bones! So when he saw this pair of guns at first glance today, Cheng Yanjin recognized it at the time, how could he dare to fight again, but because he didn't know whether the person in front of him was his godbrother when he was a child, he asked loudly.

"Hey! I said brother! What's going on? You Junda walked around to the two of them, and naturally did not understand the phenomenon in front of him.

Syllable! How do you know that Cheng Biting Jin turned around and slapped You Junda in the face, "You fucking You Junda, I hear you talk about Qin Qiong and Qin Qiong every day, you said that Qin Shubao still has so many things?!" "It turns out that when Cheng Biting Jin was a child, he always heard Qin Qiong's mother and Qin An call Qin Qiong's word Shubao, or the milk name Taiping Lang, and over time, Cheng Biting Jin didn't remember Qin Qiong's name at all, only Qin Qiong's words!" You Junda, if it weren't for you, my mother would ......" Cheng Yanjin said this, hurriedly turned around and walked to the coffin, and said while opening the coffin with both hands: "Oops! Mother! Don't pretend to be dead, it's Uncle Bao who is here! ”

"Hey! Brother! Mother is not in it! Zhu Neng Zhu Neng, please come out of the old lady! You Junda hurriedly persuaded, but Cheng Yanjin had already opened the coffin, and sure enough, there was no Cheng Mu inside, only holes formed spots on the ground because of the light. It turned out that the other sides of this coffin were good, only a piece of coffin at the bottom had been chiseled with a dozen holes for the people inside to breathe. Because Qin Qiong came so tightly and the time was too long, You Junda didn't let Cheng's mother lie in the coffin at all, so now it's just an empty coffin.

"Is it Taiheiro?" At this time, a familiar voice came from the back hall, Qin Qiong looked back, but saw an old woman walking out of the back hall, who was not Cheng's mother. It's just that time has changed, and the once loving face is now pale and gray-haired.

"Godmother! The child is not filial, causing you to suffer here, Taiping Lang will excuse you! Qin Qiong fell to his knees with a thud and knocked his head three times. Now that the weather is hot, although the bottom of the coffin is chiseled, if it is lying inside, even if it can breathe, the heat is unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention that Cheng's mother is old, although Cheng's mother is not lying in it today, but if he came earlier, Cheng's mother will inevitably suffer in the coffin. When Qin Qiong thought of this, she felt very guilty in her heart.

"Hurry up! Get up! It's you! It's you! Cheng's mother wanted to help Qin Qiong, but when Cheng Yanjin and You Junda saw this, they took the first step to help Qin Qiong up, and the three of them told each other's experiences one by one, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Uncle Shi, the disciple wants to ask, why can't the past dynasties escape the fate of destruction?" Wu Yuanhua saw that Li Chunfeng was finally busy with his own business, and he also asked his own questions.

"System! Any kind of system will inevitably produce some vested interest groups, and as this system continues, the vested interest groups will inevitably become larger, even to the point of dominating the situation in the world. Li Chunfeng answered her without thinking, as if he had thought about this kind of question a long time ago. If this is not the case, its prosperity and decline will become an inevitable trend. ”

"So what are the vested interests today?" Wu Yuanhua asked again.

"A noble family!"
