Chapter 44 Chess Festival 2
Fang Guozhuan Erbei Tianyuan Temple, this time suffered an unexpected change, the teacher Kuyuan Master was unfortunately killed by the ghost chess, the heart was sad, and the heart of looking for Li Ruchuan to fight chess became stronger. But knowing that Li Ruchuan is guarded by Yu Ruoxu, his whereabouts are mysterious and erratic, and it is really difficult to find. Remembering that he had a trust for Sun Qi, Fang Guochuan planned to contact Heba first, listen to some news, and then make plans. Thinking of having an appointment with Lu Ziyun in Lujiazhuang, and thinking of the life-saving grace of her master and servant, Fang Guozhuan felt a different emotion, so he chose the road to come to Lujiazhuang first.
When Fang Guochuan passed by the wild shop where his house had been hijacked before, the house was already empty and deserted. Seeing this, Fang Guohuan was overjoyed, and expected that Lu Peixin and Yang Hua had received the lesson of Yanshan Tiansuo, and they must have changed their minds and changed their ways, and it would be no big problem to go to Lujiazhuang this time. Thinking of Lu Ziyun's almost gone with him that day, a rare piece of true love, Fang Guozhuan's heart couldn't help but rise a warmth, and he turned around and walked quickly towards Lujiazhuang.
When Fang Guolian rushed to Lujiazhuang, he couldn't help but be taken aback, but when he saw that the big village was in a mess, the walls collapsed, the rubble was everywhere, and the smell of burning still existed, and it had been burned down by a fire. Fang Guohuan knew that there was a change, and while he was stunned, he saw a person picking up things from the chaos in the ruins, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, what happened?" How was Lujiazhuang burned by fire? ”
Hearing this, the man looked up at Fang Guohuan and said, "You are a foreigner, right?" Isn't there any connection with the people of this Lujiazhuang? Listen to me, leave quickly, lest the people in the government know that they have been implicated. ”
Fang Guochuan was shocked when he heard this, knowing that there was a reason for the incident, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Dare to ask this eldest brother to tell me bluntly, what happened to Lujiazhuang?" The man shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Lu and Second Master Yang of this village have lived here for many years, and they are also characters with this face, but they don't know their hearts, they are actually hidden Jiang Yang thieves, and I heard that many big cases in nearby prefectures and counties were done by them secretly." Half a month ago, I don't know who denounced it, countless officers and soldiers came overnight, surrounding Lujiazhuang like an iron bucket, more than 100 people have never escaped one, they were killed in the county five days ago, and Zhuang Shu was also set on fire by officers and soldiers. ”
After hearing this, Fang Guohuan suddenly felt a dizziness, and suddenly felt that everything was confused. Then the man called, "Hey! Little brother, are you okay? Fang Guohuan stopped his horror and asked anxiously, "I don't know if Miss Lu from Lujiazhuang has something to do?" ”
The man shook his head and sighed: "Miss Lu is kind to people on weekdays, she is a good person, but unfortunately she was born to the wrong family, when the officers and soldiers surrounded Zhuang Shu that day, I heard that Uncle Lu and Yang Erye were seriously injured first, and they were unable to resist arrest and were captured. The Zhuang men and women were arrested and sent to more than 100 people, Miss Lu must also be inside, and she was naturally beheaded five days ago. ”
Fang Guohuan listened, his heart was like a knife, his eyes were dark, he almost wanted to fall, he took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, only then did he calm down and stand beside the ruins in a daze. Fang Guohuan really couldn't believe that these Japanese books had suffered bad luck in a row, first Master Ku Yuan was killed by the ghost chess of the national eunuch, and now Lu Ziyun, who had saved his life, was innocently affected and beheaded to death, and the sudden change made Fang Guohuan at a loss for a while.
Fang Guohuan was in pain, and suddenly saw a few small black and white stone books in the dirt on the side, his heart moved, and he stepped forward to pick it up, and sure enough, it was a chess book, a total of five. Fang Guohuan knew that the Lu family had no one to practice chess except for Lu Ziyun, and it must be the chess book she usually used to play chess. Xin sighed and said: "Lu Peixin and Yang Hua do a lot of evil on weekdays, and they have a lot of grievances, I don't know which enemy learned that the two of them were seriously injured, and sued the officials, causing them to fall into the legal net." The two of them deserve their crimes, but unfortunately Miss Lu and Ping'er are innocent and implicated, which is unfair. Lu Peixin is a giant thief who has committed the crime of destroying the door, and Miss Lu may not be able to escape this fate. Thinking of this, Fang Guolian was still unwilling, he didn't believe that Lu Ziyun would be punished, and he wanted to get an exact news, so he came through the county with a glimmer of hope.
Along the way, I heard that some people were talking about the Lujiazhuang case, which obviously had a great impact, and Fang Guochuan was secretly surprised. After entering the county seat and coming to the yamen, Fang Guochuan knew that it was not appropriate to inquire directly about this matter, so he hesitated for a while, so he walked back and forth in front of the yamen.
At this time, an errand man walked out of the yamen. When Fang Guohuan saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "This official is invited, can you inquire about something?" The messenger glanced at Fang Guohuan and said, "No time." "Turn around and want to leave. Fang Guohuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed it, and secretly handed over ten taels of silver and said, "Why is the official in a hurry to leave, just ask something next." ”
Seeing this, the officer looked left and right, hurriedly took the silver book, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I don't know what this official secretary wants to inquire about?" Everything. Fang Guohuan pulled the errand aside and left no one behind, so he said, "I want to inquire about the Lujiazhuang robbery case." ”
The errand officer was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look Fang Guohuan up and down with a suspicious gaze.
When Fang Guochuan saw it, he hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, sir, I was kidnapped and robbed by the thieves of Lujiazhuang before, and almost lost my life, and then escaped by luck. Passing by today, I heard that the thief's nest was destroyed by the government, and the group of thieves were all arrested and killed. ”
When the messenger heard this, he was relieved and said: "I said, who dares to inquire about this case, it turns out that the official book has also been robbed by the thieves of Nalujiazhuang, and now that the case has been closed, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." It was half a month ago, my county magistrate received an urgent secret order from the state government, saying that someone had accused Lu Peixin and Yang Hua of Lujiazhuang as hidden Jiangyang thieves, robbing money and killing countless people, and there was conclusive evidence, and the county was ordered to send troops to round up overnight. At that time, I was afraid of the rumors, and even those of us who often go to the countryside on weekdays did not tell us, and the county directly transferred soldiers and horses from the barracks garrison, and went straight to Lujiazhuang, and the thieves never escaped, and I only learned about this matter the next day. ”
Fang Guochuan was surprised when he heard this: "It turns out that no one directly sued the county. The messenger said: "Afterwards, I heard that it was a friend of Lu Peisin, named Yuman, but somehow the two turned their faces and were sued by him to the house." "It turned out to be Yuman, right!?"
Fang Guohuan was taken aback, and secretly surprised: "Yuman, in order to kill me to avenge it, first killed Lu Peixin's subordinates, and then fled in defeat, I am afraid that Lu Peixin will find him to settle accounts in the future, so he preemptively sued the official to prevent future troubles, and sure enough, the wolf book's ambition is really ruthless!" ”
The officer was puzzled at this time and said: "By the way, the official letter said that he was caught by the thieves in Lujiazhuang, and he didn't know how to escape alive?" ”
Fang Guohuan sighed and said: "I can't hide it, I came here this time to find out the news of Lu Peixin's daughter, Miss Lu Ziyun, because if Miss Lu hadn't rescued her privately that day, I would have died." When he heard about the incident in Lujiazhuang, he was worried about the safety of his benefactor Miss Lu, so he took the risk to find out some news. ”
When the officer heard this, he nodded and said, "This official secretary is a well-intentioned person, and you are lucky to be saved by Miss Lu in private." A few days ago, when I tried the case, I learned that Lu Peixin and Yang Hua were thieves, and they secretly didn't know how many lives they had killed, and none of the people who were kidnapped by them could survive. Because there were more than 100 felons in Lujiazhuang in the prison, the county lord was afraid that the remnants of Lu and Yang would come to rob the prison, so they were hurriedly interrogated, and after the crime was confirmed, they were all killed five days ago. ”
Fang Guohuan hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Miss Lu and a maid named Ping'er are also among the same punishments?" The two of them were innocent. ”
The officer said: "This case is too big, many serious cases are related to the thieves in Lujiazhuang, the more the case is tried, the more they confess, the bigger and bigger, the officials sent by the state government to try the case are afraid that something will happen after a long time, and after the hasty trial and report to the top, all the people in Lujiazhuang are beheaded." Miss Lu is the daughter of the thief leader Lu Peixin, and she is also in it. ”
Fang Guohuan asked anxiously, "I don't know if the official has ever seen Miss Lu being tortured and ambushed?" ”
The officer shook his head and said, "There were seven or eight female prisoners who were punished that day, and who knows which one was Miss Lu." There is no need to ask more questions about the official secretary, then Miss Lu is the daughter of the thief, and she can't get out of it, so she was naturally beheaded at the same time. I still have something to do, so don't go through it first. With that, the officer turned to leave.
Fang Guohuan endured the grief in his heart, and hurriedly stopped the errand and said, "I want to ask the last sentence, I don't know where the bodies of those criminals are?" I'm going to pay homage to Miss Lu. ”
The officer shook his head and said: "I think Gongshu is a good person, it's good not to cause trouble, now the remnants of the arrest of Lu and Yang are very tight, you are so blatant to go to burn incense and worship, it is strange that you will not be caught and eat a lawsuit." ”
The messenger saw Fang Guolian's sad expression and was sad and wanted to cry, so he said again: "If you have a heart to read the official book, it is better to go to the execution ground in the west of the city secretly and cry a few times in secret, but don't be seen, so as not to cause trouble." ”
When Fang Guohuan heard this, he hurriedly thanked himself, suddenly remembered something again, and asked again: "I don't know what happened to the Yuman who reported Lu Peixin?" This person is a key criminal wanted by the government. ”
When the officer heard this, he was a little surprised: "The official secretary knows a lot, I heard that this person has made meritorious service for his crimes, and he has cured a strange disease for the master of Futai, and it seems that he has been exempted from the crime." Today's official letter is also to ask the right person, these things are not known to ordinary people, yesterday I just came back from the palace to send the father, I heard an acquaintance in the government talk about it, so I know more. Okay, I still have something to do, so let's take my leave. With that, the officer bowed his hand and turned away.
Fang Guohuan knew that Lu Ziyun and Ping'er had no hope of surviving, so with great sadness, he bought some incense, candles, and paper money, went out of the city, and found the execution ground outside the West Gate. This is a desolate place, with wild graves and overgrown weeds. Because he had just beheaded someone a few days ago, there were still traces of blood on the sand on the ground, and the cold wind blew, as if there was a ghost crying, which made people feel a little frightened.
Fang Guohuan found a hidden place, burned incense and paper to worship, and couldn't help but burst into tears, regretting that he had not taken Lu Ziyun and Ping'er away in the past, resulting in this murder. Knowing that all this is caused by himself and that Yuman, although there is a reason for it, I feel especially humble, thinking that the Yuman bar seems to have "made meritorious atonements", but I don't know whether it is true or false.
Fang Guohuan was sad alone, put the five chess books he picked up in the ruins of Lujiazhuang in front of the incense candles, and silently grieved at the execution ground. Then bury the chess to make a "chess mound", and after three bows, Fang Guolian left according to his back.
With a feeling of loss, Fang Guohuan came to Hengyang City on this day, it was getting late, and he wanted to find an inn to stay. When he was walking forward, he suddenly heard a call behind him: "The one in front is Fang Guolian's official book?" ”
Fang Guochuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what acquaintances he had here, and when he looked back, he saw five stout and burly Hanshu standing behind him, but he didn't know anything from his own.
At this time, a big man led by suddenly said in surprise: "The noble man is coming!" Sure enough, Fang Gongshu arrived. As he spoke, he stepped forward and bowed. Fang Guohuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and said in surprise: "This strong man is ......"
The big man said respectfully: "Under the Heba Hunan Hengyang Eleventh Bar subordinate Xiang advocated Tongyi, outside the Dushikou Pass before, Fang Gongshu Qiqi Tianyuan Great Array, and 200,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry had a bloody battle, and he also participated in the Xia. At that time, there were many people, and Fang Gongshu may not know me, but we kept the appearance of Gongshu in mind, and we never dared to forget the great benefactor who saved me in my life. Fang Guolian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the person who was in the right place was what he was looking for.
Zhang Tongyi immediately said to a few people behind him: "A few of you didn't have the opportunity to go out of the customs to participate in the Tianyuan Chess Formation in the past, but today you are fortunate to see Fang Guolian's official book, which is also your creation, come and pay a visit." ”
Those Han Shu and the legendary figure of the Tianyuan Array who was rumored in the world were in front of them, and they were all pleasantly surprised, and they all stepped forward to meet Fang Guozhuan.
Zhang Tongyi said excitedly at this time: "It is an honor for us to be able to come to Hengyang, and I also ask Gongshu to stay for a few days, so as to do my best to express my admiration." ”
Fang Guohuan also wanted to find a bar, and listened to the whereabouts of the national eunuch Li Ruchuan, so he responded. Zhang Tongyi and the others were overjoyed, and hugged Fang Guolian to his incense bar residence.
At Zhang Tongyi's incense bar, Zhang Tongyi led more than ten people with positions under him to meet Fang Guolian, and everyone was pleasantly surprised when they saw Fang Guolian, who had been admired for a long time. Zhang Tongyi then held a banquet to wash the dust for Fang Guolian.
