In Anlu County in early March, people were panicked.

Although he was in the ranks, Feng Jing, who still couldn't get rid of the aura of a noble gentleman, stood at the head of the city, looking at the city, his eyes worried.

In the city, all the houses were requisitioned to gather the Anlu people who were about to move away, and they were the main source of trouble.

There was a noise, and the soldiers arranged by Feng Jing immediately rushed into the city, and after a while, the riot subsided, and more than a dozen bloody corpses were dragged out.

This is the norm in Anlu for half a month, people come every day, some try to escape, some die of disease and starvation, the local officials who have been expropriated have a straight face, the men and women who have been forcibly relocated from their land are complaining, the helpless old people are sighing, and the babies who have lost their parents are howling and crying......

Although Feng Jing had 10,000 people under his command, each township in Anlu County sent 1,000 people to search for people, and there were only 5,000 left in the county, but he had to keep an eye on nearly 30,000 people, which was really stretched.

When the violent refusal to evict in some areas begins, the people of the whole county must be managed as prisoners, and they must always be watched, otherwise if they are not careful, they will trigger a collective escape and cause a big incident.

Feng Jing was busy, and he could only secretly slander Qin Shi Huang's last words: "It's really a bad idea to move 50,000 people from the county to Guanzhong......"

He had already learned from his father about the death of Qin Shi Huang and realized that something was about to go bad, but he could only try his best to hide the news while cleaning up the mess in his hands.

In the midst of the frustration, a series of bad news came one after another.

First of all, the day before yesterday, Pegasus, a soldier of the 3,000 southern counties who had been ordered to garrison Xiakou, sent news that the Wuchang battalion, which had died across the river from Xiakou, had been attacked, a fire had been ignited, and a battle had occurred. The final result was that most of the 30,000 veterans of the Wuchang Battalion of the Southern Expeditionary Army rebelled, and only half of the 5,000 men of Yang Xiong's department returned, and the rest were either killed or captured, and they had lost their combat effectiveness.

What frightened Feng Jing the most was that the banner of the "rebel army" was actually the "dead" Wuzhong Marquis Heifu!

Fools know that if Heifu is really a fake death, the next thing he will attack will be his hometown Anlu!

"I am divided into ten, the enemy is one, the enemy is ten to attack me and one, then I am outnumbered and the enemy is many!"

Feng Jing was keenly aware of the danger and immediately ordered people to go to various townships to recall the scattered search forces.

But he was still a step late, first the 2,000 people who went to Yunmengxiang and Zhuanshui Township were attacked on the way back to escort the people, and the whole army was wiped out! The thousands of people who were escorted there were also rescued.

Then, there was also an accident in several townships in the north, and the scattered officers and soldiers were attacked, and for a while, it seemed that there were enemy traces in all directions, which made Feng Jing a little dizzy, and he only felt that he was surrounded by a vast ocean......

……

Compared with the chaos and hesitation in Anlu County, the vast world outside Anlu City is full of jubilation.

"Qin Shi Huang has collapsed!"

The Anlu people who fled in the mountains and forests of Yunmengze were spreading the news from one to the other.

"The traitorous ministers usurped the throne, and they will not mourn! It is also more Yi Shi's last order, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, to liquidate the southern expeditionary army that supported the virtuous son Fusu, and treat the Anlu people harshly. ”

In a gathering shanty, listening to the villagers who were said to have seen the battle of Yunmengxiang with their own eyes, everyone nodded, revealing a look of "sure enough".

They were deeply impressed by the majestic imperial drive of Qin Shi Huang, and saw him mourn for Heifu, worship him as a marquis, and reward his family, so they had a good impression.

"The recent chaos must have been given by a traitorous minister, why is it so weird!"

And then there's the exciting stuff:

"Yunmengzeli killed an army, all in white helmets and white armor, wearing the plain of Qin Shi Huangdi, and also rescued the fathers and elders of the two townships in the south!"

"It was the Southern Expeditionary Army that was unwilling to wait for the killing, so it was difficult to serve the heavens, and their banner was 'Marquis of Great Qin Wuzhong'!"

The next rumors became exaggerated and bizarre, but all the Anlu people cheered.

"Marquis Wu Zhong, come back to life!"

……

The story of the resurrection of Marquis Wuzhong was spread by the old department of Heifu, the fortune teller who once held the "Book of Days" to tell fortunes.

He was originally an official in Yuzhang, and later returned to Anlu, when the migration order was issued, he was the first to realize that something was wrong, and fled to Yunmengze with the township party.

Later, through Ji Ying, he also established contact with Heifu, and after Heifu returned to Anlu with thousands of people in white clothes and plain armor, Bu Cheng immediately asked people to go to the refuge points of various Anlu people in Zezhong to spread the matter.

Bu Cheng understands the nostalgia very well: "What righteousness, what kind of martyrdom, the villagers can't understand, it's better to tell some ghost stories." ”

Coincidentally, Qin Guo believed in the "resurrection" set of strange stories.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Jin were at war, and a Qin spy went to Jin to inquire about the news, and was arrested for acting secretly, and was killed in Jiang City, but after six days, this person's body actually jumped up and down, ran to the city tower to take his head, and ran away in the stunned eyes of everyone!

Of course, this is a folk rumor, but "Zuo Chuan" recorded it very seriously: "In the spring of the eighth year, Bai Di and Jin Ping. Xia, will be Jin and Qin. The Jin people were captured by Qin spies, killed Zhujiang City, and Su in six days. ”

Later, this kind of story is even more common among the people, such as the thirty-eighth year of King Qin Zhao, a man named Dan, born in the king of Shaoliang City, stabbed someone in the wall Yongli next door, because he was afraid of being investigated by the law, he actually stabbed himself, that is, committed suicide and died, and then abandoned it in the city, three days, outside the Yongnan Gate of the wall of the burial.

The story is still a formal narrative of the story, but the style of painting has changed: three years later, a Ling Shi named Xiwu re-investigated the file, thinking that Dan's case was problematic, and re-investigated, and found that his so-called stabbing was really wronged, and the crime did not deserve death, so he prayed to Si Ming, but that night, a white dog went to the cemetery to dig up Dan's body, which was actually intact, and even the old wounds were healed, and he stood in the cemetery for three days, and finally came back to life......

In the era of Qin Shi Huang, there was also a story of "The Dead in Taiyuan", which said that a person in Taiyuan was resurrected three years after death and was sent to Xianyang, and then told a series of likes and dislikes of the dead and matters that should be paid attention to when sacrificing.

In short, similar legends are spread throughout the Qin Kingdom, and in each story, the key to the resurrection of the dead is "unjust death"!

Because sin does not deserve death, so it is unwilling, so the demons and gods have mercy on it and bring it back to life!

So the reappearance of Heifu was also put into this routine by Bu Cheng.

"Marquis Wuzhong is already dead, and the First Emperor mourned for him, because he saw An Lu's father and brother Kundi suffering, so he came back to life!"

"Not only did I see us suffering and couldn't turn a blind eye, but also because His Majesty the First Emperor was robbed and killed by the traitorous ministers, so I was unwilling to go to Huangquan and recall the soul of Marquis Wu Zhong with the power of the emperor and return it to the world, so that Marquis Wu Zhong could know about the death of the emperor and mourn for His Majesty the Emperor Dai Xiao!"

Next, the details of the story were slowly completed by Bu Cheng and stuffed into the impression of the simple but determined ghosts and gods of Anlu.

What tengu dug the grave, dragged the body of Kuroo out, and a graceful mountain ghost lit a bonfire to dance and pray for it.

What is the body of the first emperor who is dead and the soul is immortal, and he recalled the soul of the black man from Huangquan and beat it into his body. Then Si Ming, Yun Zhongjun, and Mrs. Xiang borrowed their dragon to Heifu, and let him return to Yunmengze from Lingnan for a day and night......

For a while, at various gathering points, everyone in the group was talking about this matter, and it was spread as if it was true!

Their eyes also changed, from restlessness and helplessness to excitement and resentment.

Hate is certain, inexplicably blasted out of the house, forced to leave the ancestral land, and because of this, many elders resist death, if it weren't for the other party being fully armed, they would have picked up the flat pole on the spot and fought hard!

Now they are not afraid, Marquis Wuzhong has come back to life, and he is back, and he wants to lead his hometown children to do a big job!

Seeing that the propaganda had achieved its effect, Bu Cheng and the others also raised their arms in accordance with Heifu's plan, and asked all the men who could hold weapons to gather in one place.

"Where are you going?"

"Do you need to say anything? Koyotei! ”

……

"Huyang Pavilion has changed a lot, and I don't know each other anymore."

Heifu rode a horse, passing by the side of the road outside the pavilion, the bottle of wood carved "Tengu" is still standing here, but its head is touched smooth and shiny, it is said that because Heifu Pavilion is developed, the county people rumored that come to touch the dog's head can be blessed......

"Old man, it hasn't changed, it's just you."

Heifu patted it too, smiled and shook his head, and then entered the pavilion.

Because of the forced relocation of the county, even the officials of the pavilion did not let go, so the people of this pavilion also went on strike, fleeing, leaving, the inside was empty, and now it has been occupied by the Dongmen leopard and the people.

Probably because it is the "former residence of Heifu", this is very much taken care of by the county. The pavilion door has been painted, black and red, the lining wall is extraordinarily white, and after stepping into the sturdy courtyard gate, the front and rear courtyards have also been repaired, very new.

"Xiao Tao and Ting's father used to sit here and chat, staring at the situation on the road."

Heifu pointed to the two schools at the door and said to the leopard at the east gate, the old brothers of the past have now become the mainstay of Heifu's affairs.

Dongmen Leopard was also very emotional, pointing to the courtyard that had been built with good stones: "Back then, this was all soil, and I often practiced five soldiers here with the pavilion chief. ”

After two schools, into the courtyard, Heifu also specially entered the left room, this is the latrine, he soaked urine in it, turned his face sideways, and could see the prison where the prisoners were detained, it was dark and cramped, and there was a bad smell.

Heifu smiled.

"When Feng Jing is caught, I will lock him up here!"

As early as the day of the incident, Heifu sent Ji Ying back to Anlulai, established contact with Bu Cheng and others, and arranged for people to blend in with the relocation of the county.

How to deal with Feng Jing, he already has a plan!

"Although my mother, brother and family are in the city, I am not worried about their safety."

Because Feng Jing is an acquaintance of Heifu, Heifu knows this person's temperament very well.

"Feng Jing is a nobleman who is extremely self-conscious, and he is also a gentleman."

"Gentleman, you can deceive him!"

As he spoke, Heifu walked towards the small pavilion erected in the middle of the backyard.

The pavilion is three zhang high, the top is oblique and pointed, there is a ladder for going up and down the pavilion inside, the steps are three feet, there is a ridge stove on the second floor of the pavilion, you can light the fire and make smoke......

It was originally used to warn the county side, but now it ......

"Light a cigarette."

Heifu gave an indifferent order, and then handed everything over to Dongmen Leopard and the others, and went to his former room in the backyard to take a nap.

After Sha Xian had eaten and drunk, Heifu had been sleepless for several days, and he had a dream on this slightly hard couch.

I dreamed that Qianshou Heifu was alone, walking on the bank of Yunmengze, and dreamed of the little pavilion chief of a "black husband", wandering An Lu......

Fortunately, I have climbed all the way, but my original intention has never changed.

Finally, he came to an inflection point in his life.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop!

Half an hour later, when Heifu yawned and went out, outside the Huyang Pavilion, in addition to the five thousand people who came north by boat with Heifu, there were six or seven thousand more, they were standing upright, cross-legged, and even lying down, full of interest and noisy discussions, and stood densely on the fields, roads, and meadows.

From the fourteen-year-old yellow-haired son to the sixty-year-old bald man.

In the entire Anlu County, the men who have not yet been captured by the official army are concentrated here!

Heifu nodded, and instead of wearing filial piety, he tied a bright red curtain to the top of his head!

Anlu people, know this place, understand this sign.

Younger people are better able to tell every story that happened here.

The capture of thieves by the lakeside, the case of blind mountain, the case of tomb robbery, the case of Chu espionage, the repair of public toilets, and the construction of water conservancy......

He has been promoted to the rank of marquis repeatedly, and finally to the position of marquis!

Everyone in the world said that he was dead, and the traitors in the court and the government all wanted him to die, but in fact, he was still alive!

Without further ado, Heifu mounted his horse in front of the tethered tengu sculpture and smiled as he walked towards the crowd.

"Pavilion Chief?"

A man with a wrinkled face called out to him, as if he had followed Heifu's pawn Yuliang, and after rubbing his eyes, he burst into tears:

"That's right, it's the pavilion chief!"

Next, everyone who had seen Hefu responded in unison.

"It's Marquis Wuzhong, and the eight hundred Anlu disciples who left two years ago, Bu Cheng is right, the prince has really come back to life!"

All the people cheered to Hef, wept bitterly to him, and told him of the sufferings of these days, and they all called them differently:

Some people shouted "Tun Chang", some people shouted "County Captain", or "Sima", or "Junhou", "Changnan Marquis", "Wuzhong Marquis".

The chanting gradually intensified, gradually spread, gradually expanded, and finally soared into the sky!

The loud chorus frightened Heifu's mount, a dragon from the Western Regions that had never been known to open its mouth so many times to yell at itself from close range.

It hesitated and stepped back, shaking its head and wagging its tail.

But Hef kicked the spur and drove it forward, into the midst of the thousands of tearful village party.

At this moment they all rushed towards him, shoving, shoving, stumbling, reaching out to him, bowing down to him, wanting to touch his fingertips, to stroke the mane of a horse, or to be swept over his head by the scabbard at his waist......

"He lived for the better life of the majority, and the masses lifted him very high, very high."

Hefu silently recited this sentence and decided that this ambition would never be deviated!

Hefu became the center of the sea, and he rode his horse at a gallop, then trotted, and then, like the wind, galloped along the familiar road, letting the red curtains drift behind him!

Ten thousand people from Jingcong, who followed Heifu to fight in the north and south of Yunmengze, the soldiers and civilians who regained their freedom in Wuchang Camp and Anlu, everyone took the weapons they brought or distributed, followed him forward, and walked towards Anlu City!

When this huge team arrived outside Anlu County, it should be with the smoke of Huyang Pavilion, and there was also a thick smoke in the chaotic county town, rising into the air!
