Chapter 51: Justice for the country and the people The situation in front of King Qi's tomb has changed abruptly
He Guozhi jumped down from the top of the second floor, and when he jumped down, he kicked the wall and flew out, the curtain flew out of his hand, and the spear in the hand of one of the officers and soldiers fell from his hand unconsciously, these officers and soldiers pulled out their waist knives in panic, rushed forward and said, "Who are you?" Dare to meddle in the affairs of our officers and soldiers," these officers and men who rushed forward were very arrogant, their eyes were empty-eyed, and their words were aggressive.
"Oppress the people, dogs fight people, who is your county commander? Tell him to come out and talk to him. ”
"What a big breath, today the official will teach you a lesson, so that you can understand what the royal law is," A leading officer and soldier stood up, and his words were very rude, but it was a little provocative to listen to his intentions, and dozens of officers and soldiers showed their steel knives on their waists and rushed up together. In the face of such an attack, He Guozhi retreated sharply, and adopted the method of retreating as an advance to defeat them, the curtain in his hand flew out, the wind was howling, and their ears were buzzing, these officers and soldiers covered their ears with their hands, and saw that blood flowed out of their ears, and they screamed one after another. Guozhi strode into it, the curtain flew out left and right, and the steel knife wrapped around the hand of an officer and soldier flew out of his hand, and these officers and soldiers couldn't dodge only to see the steel knife fly out and insert it into the wooden pillar in front of the door of the teahouse on the side, and these officers and soldiers were cut by the flying steel knife and cut their hand holding the knife or stepped out of the leg and fell into pieces. He Guozhi stepped forward slowly.
"In Xia He Guozhi, ask your county commander Lord Wang to come out and speak," Taking advantage of He Guozhi's speech, an officer and soldier behind him slowly stood up, showed the steel knife in his hand, and attacked from behind him, how did he know that the curtain in his hand flew out again, and the officer and soldier had no time to react The steel knife in his hand was knocked to the ground, and the hand holding the knife was in unbearable pain. The leader suddenly realized and said to the officers and soldiers around him: "It's the second young master of the He family, quickly step back and report to Lord Wang." ”
These refugees turned to look at Guozhi, knelt in front of Guozhi, and said: "Daxia is our savior, we are coming to kowtow to our benefactor and thank him." ”
"You all get up, this is what we should do," Zhu Si behind him stepped forward and said, "Young Master." ”
"How much money do you have?"
"I didn't bring much when I came out,"
"Scatter them all," Zhu Si stepped forward and took out all the money on his body and distributed it to these refugees, who stood up and surrounded Guozhi in the middle, and kept praising him: "Good people! What a good man! Guozhi stood in the middle of them and said, "Disperse all of you, your situation will be found for you in the future, let them all disperse." ”
"The benefactor will make the decision for us, we have to believe in the benefactor, we are all scattered," one of the old men stood in the middle of them, facing the refugees behind him, and the refugees slowly dispersed. After these refugees dispersed, the old man turned to face Guozhi, held his hand and said, "Benefactor, you have to be careful. ”
"Uncle, go back, I'll be careful."
"Hmm," the old man looked up at Guozhi and turned to leave slowly.
"Let's go, let's go to the teahouse and wait," Guozhi turned to face Zhu Sidao after watching them leave.
"Young master, what important person are we waiting for," Zhu Si was a little puzzled at this time, and he didn't know what important person his second young master was waiting for, so he had to go to the teahouse.
"Don't ask, you'll find out then."
Guozhi and Zhu Si walked to the teahouse, sat by the window, called for two cups of flower tea, and they waited quietly here. At noon, the county commander Wang took a group of officials to the teahouse, stood in front of Guozhi, and said with a smile: "Young Master He, they have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, they offended the young master, and please don't blame them," It turned out that this county commander took them to apologize, because the county commander's heart knew that He Guozhi's father was the governor of Jianghuai, and his future was unlimited. After that, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Why don't you go and accompany the young master." ”
Only then did the soldier head step forward and kneel down, and said, "He Ye, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he has offended He Ye, and he Ye is asked to punish him." ”
"There is nothing to punish in the future, you are not allowed to oppress the poor people in the future, no matter what kind of official position you have, you must think of the four words for the country and the people."
"Thank you for your teaching, and the little one will be remembered in my heart."
"Okay, get up," the county magistrate stood aside and praised him, and said, "Young master, there are a lot of them, this is the prime minister's belly that can support the boat!" ”
"Lord Wang's words are exaggerated, please sit down," after the county magistrate sat down, Guozhi called a cup of bamboo leaf green, and then said: "Lord Wang, there is a suggestion below, please take it." ”
"Young master, please say it, this official will definitely do it."
"The war in the northwest has just been settled, and the natural disasters are serious, and the refugees are increasing.
"Young master, you're right, but this official is ——," The county magistrate is very embarrassed, and at the same time, he can't say it!
"You don't have to worry about money, I'll go down tomorrow to meet Governor Luo."
"Okay, when these two things are implemented, the official will immediately build a righteous warehouse, and the top priority is the food and clothing of the refugees."
"The porridge factory is going down to run and build houses," the next day Guozhi wrote a letter and forwarded it to Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, who met with He Guozhi in the main hall, and adopted his suggestions one by one, built a porridge factory, relieved the refugees in the city, and developed production, and built a righteous warehouse in case of emergency.
The Holy Land of Fulang lingered near Funiu Mountain for three days and refused to leave, and the others have been thinking about the tomb of Gongzi Qizhi in their hearts, perhaps out of their own curiosity, or perhaps to satisfy their own selfishness, to see what valuable treasures are in this tomb to keep for themselves. On this day, there was a sudden thought in his heart, which was to trade money in exchange for labor. He walked out of this humble place slowly, walked out of this room, raised his head high and looked up, the red sun was rising, called the old man to take out the coins he had exchanged in the bank, and said a little arrogantly: "Do you know what this is? ”
The old man looked at the money in the hands of the Volang Holy Land, and said very puzzledly: "This is money." ”
"Yes, this is money, money is omnipotent, with it you have wealth, with wealth your status will be noble, but to get it requires your pay, hard work, do you understand?" Unexpectedly, the tomb of a prince Qizhi fully exposed his nature, the nature of a nobleman, the nature of a capitalist, and the nature of a tomb robber.
"This money is enough for us to eat and wear for a year, what do you need to do with these old bones?"
At this time, the Fulang Holy Land was a little stunned, maybe he didn't understand, so he said, "What old? ”
The old man also smiled without understanding, and the Vollang Holy Land continued to raise his noble head, and said very confidently: "Gather young and strong people to come, I want to say change," Vollang Holy Land just knows some simple Chinese, and the wrong speech may be caused by the different languages of various countries.
The Fulang Holy Land summoned young and middle-aged people to gather at the head of the village, and then climbed on the high platform, as if giving a speech, so he said: "You take your hoe and shovel to Funiu Mountain, and you have money every day, one hundred and two days," the villagers heard this number and brought their hoes and shovels to Funiu Mountain and walked mightily, after going up the mountain, they looked at the stone tablet "Gongzi Qizhi's Tomb", Fulang Holy Land stepped forward, pointed to the mountain bag behind the stone tablet, and said: "You go and dig for me," the soil here is very soft, These young men climbed the mountain bag behind the stele, began to work, dug with a hoe, pry with a shovel, and dug up this tomb in less than a day, after digging it up, everyone was surprised, it turned out that this tomb was empty, just buried some terracotta warriors, pottery terracotta warriors, but these terracotta warriors have been destroyed in a large area.
Standing under the mountain bag and watching, the holy place of Fulang saw them stop, strode up the mountain and scolded angrily: "Waste, waste, why stop? Why stop? ”
"Look, this tomb is empty," Volun Holy Land stepped forward, looking at these shattered terracotta warriors, stunned, this was impossible for him to think, he didn't expect that all he had worked so hard to dig up was an empty tomb. So they each gave out fifty taels, and these young adults were very dissatisfied and asked, "Why only fifty taels?" Why? ”
The Holy Land of Vollang has been ineffective, and 50 taels have been deducted as an excuse to shirk. Then the men thought to themselves, "Forget it, it's better to have something than nothing," so they went down the mountain to set up tents, and prepared to go up the mountain tomorrow to find out. The next day, the Fulang Holy Land called hundreds of young and middle-aged people to go up the mountain together, looked at the empty tomb that had been dug up, and said, "Isn't this the tomb of Gongzi Qizhi, or is it fake to confuse us?" ”
"It's fake," the Volang Holy Land must have been thinking at this time, so what is the real one, where is the real one?
The accompanying old man stretched out his finger and pointed to this Funiu Mountain, and said, "You see, this Funiu Mountain is like a big buffalo lying down, and the tomb of Gongzi Qizhi must be a horn above the head of the cow." ”
Funiu Mountain is like a big buffalo lying in the clouds, Gongzi Qi's tomb may be on the top of this horn, under the horns is the Qiwang Temple, they bypassed the Qiwang Temple, directly ascended the horns, it was really spectacular! It can be described by a poem, so this poem is "will be at the top of the mountain, at a glance of the mountains" to describe. In fact, it is difficult for us to imagine that the tomb of Gongzi Qizhi is the entire horn above the head of the bull, and its scale cannot be described in words.
They began to excavate immediately after climbing Funiu Mountain, some of them came to cut down the trees here, and a day later they basically cut down the trees on the mountain, and it took a day to move a little fur, which shows that this tomb is deep, unfathomable, after three days they kept digging to get close to this tomb, digging to this time is no longer digging, even the hoe and shovel are a shortage, it turns out that the top of this tomb is paved with stone slabs, and it can't be dug at all. The Holy Land of Volang called a few people with shovels to pry open, and even pry was difficult to pry open the tomb. Who knew that at this time, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, suddenly the sky was dark, the dark clouds were overwhelming, and when the wind rose, a lightning bolt cut through the thick clouds, and a shocking thunder split a person into black charcoal, and the black smoke rose straight up. When the Holy Land of Volang saw this, he was immediately frightened, and he sat on the ground in a daze. The old man looked up at the thick clouds, very frightened, and exclaimed, "The gods have appeared, and the gods (Gongzi Qi) have appeared," and then they all knelt on the ground.
"We have sinned against the gods, and you all kneel and beg the gods for forgiveness."
After that, everyone knelt down, sincerely frightened, looking up to the heavens, and kept kowtowing. When Fu Lang Holy Land stood up, his legs were still trembling, and he was silent for a while, and said, "You are too superstitious about ghosts and gods, and you must believe in science. ”
The wind roared, and another bolt of lightning struck, followed by a blast of thunder that slashed through the trees next to it, and a raging fire rose. The old man looked at the holy land of Fulang in great horror and said, "If we do not respect heaven and earth, we will be punished by heaven, and the wrath of the gods will be a catastrophe." ”
The Fulang Holy Land was frightened by the scene in front of them, and was afraid, so they fled while they knelt down and rushed towards Chengdu. The people here filled in the soil and planted trees. The tomb of Childe Kai was basically restored to its original state, and only then did they leave. On this day of the first day of October, they will go up to Funiu Mountain, which is the temple of Qiwang to worship, begging for good weather.
In the past few days, Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, and He Guozhi, the civil of the people, raised and built the first Yicang of the Qing Dynasty, and all the people were jubilant, looking at the city, and the people welcomed them, and Luo Bingzhang personally went out of the city to meet the emperor's envoy Fulang Holy Land.
