In May, the earth has gradually warmed up, and people are slowly starting to get busy.

The funeral of the elders was held today, and the people of Ziyun Mountain who heard the news in the past few days gradually returned to Changshan County after finishing the things in their hands, of course, Huang Zhong and others who sold horses estimated that it would take some time to come back.

Today, as long as the core personnel of the Taishou Mansion in Changshan County can come back, all rushed back and collectively participated in the funeral of the elders. After all, these people get along with the elders more or less, and in the Ziyun Mountain base, everyone usually doesn't trouble the elders. After hearing the news of the death of the elders, they were collectively silent for a long time, and they all shouted that the world is impermanent!

The death of the elders can be said to have had a very big impact on three people, namely Bai Yang, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Jian.

Zhu Jian is young, but he is a real person, and he does not forget his heart. Everything he has now, strictly speaking, is obtained because of the elders, usually when the elders are there, he also goes to consult the elders, and when there is nothing to do, he goes to see the elders, and feels that with the elders, his heart will be a lot more stable, and no matter how big things are, he will not mess up. So in the base, almost every day, I can see Zhu Jian following Zhu Lao's side, "Uncle Zhu, Uncle Zhu" non-stop.

At that time, Zhu Jian was doing the logistics arranged by the Tang Dynasty, and when he knew that Zhu Lao had died, he didn't say anything, and rode a fast horse and rushed back towards the county town alone. When he knew that it was Ziyun Diao, Wang Chengwei and others who had collaborated to kill the elders, he took a single knife and rushed towards the cell where Ziyun Diao and the others were being held. Fortunately, Jia Xu knew it in time at that time, and immediately rushed over to stop it in time, otherwise Zhu Jian might have killed Ziyun Diao and the others at that time.

Of course, after this incident, Ziyun Diao and Wang Chengwei were also scared a lot, I didn't expect that Zhu Jian was not very old, but he was so ruthless, and now when he saw Zhu Jian, he would think of the situation that day, and his heart trembled.

As for this matter, the blow to Zhu Yan's heart is self-evident. Knowing the news of his father's death, Zhu Yan simply handed over the affairs that day, leaving most of the things to Situ Qing and returning to the county from Lingshou directly. Fortunately, their progress in Lingshou during this time was quite smooth, and they had already dealt with the affairs of Lingshou almost, otherwise such a big mess would have been thrown away by Situ Qing alone, and it is estimated that Situ Qing would have been busy.

The day Zhu Yan returned to the county town was when Bai Yang woke up for the first time, and after Zhu Yan said a word, he found a place to cry alone.

Since then, Zhu Yan's personality has changed a lot all of a sudden, a little less agile and lively before, and a little more calm and steady. Usually a person is always in a daze, and he doesn't talk much.

The changes in Zhuyan Bai Yang saw in his heart and was anxious in his heart. Although the time spent with the elders is not particularly long, Bai Yang's feelings for the elders are like those of his father, and they are not much worse than Zhu Yan at all.

This time, the elders didn't need to die, he actually did it to take care of his dignity, and he didn't hesitate to take his own life. It can be said that this sacrifice of the elders is not much less than the feelings expressed by Bai Yang than for Zhu Yan.

In this way, Bai Yang fell into deep self-blame. At the funeral of the elders, Bai Yang blocked everyone's face, and brought Wang Chengwei, Ziyun Diao and others to the tombs of the elders. For him now, all the human rights and the like that he pursued in his heart in the past have been thrown into the back of his mind, and it is the right thing to bring these enemies to justice.

lined up Ziyun Diao and the others, poured them down on a wooden stake, and pierced a small hole in everyone's eyebrows with the Triangular Army Thorn. Then Bai Yang just looked at it, watching a few people's blood fall from the center of his eyebrows, listening to the screams and insults, just watching and waiting. It wasn't until two hours later that several people died after their bodies were bleeding all over their bodies, and the hearts of everyone who watched felt numb.

From this incident, everyone also completely understood Bai Yang's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, this is really not the one who fights with them every day, the current Bai Yang is like a different person, strange to the extreme.

After the funeral of the elders, Bai Yang did not listen to anyone's persuasion, locked himself in the study alone, and stayed for seven days without eating or drinking.

In the past seven days, Bai Yang has not entered a single drop, just staring blankly ahead, and he doesn't know what to look at, and no one knows what he is thinking.

After Jia Xu and the others knew about Bai Yang's situation, they were anxious in their eyes, and everyone thought of various methods, but none of them could be effective. Everyone can only watch and do it in a hurry, and there is nothing they can do.

The death of the elders is indeed too big a blow to Bai Yang, but the deceased is gone, and the living are still struggling. Bai Yang's current state is very bad, and he must rely on himself to quickly get out of the shadow of this incident, otherwise it is very likely that this matter will completely cost Bai Yang.

Seven days later, in the morning, with the sound of a "creak" opening the door, Bai Yang's thin figure once again came into everyone's sight.

"Lord, why did you become like this?"

"Lord, you ......"

"The Lord's ,......"

These seven days have not been easy, Jia Xu and the others almost stopped everything, and all accompanied Bai Yang to wait outside the study, Zhu Jian persuaded everyone for a long time at first, and then saw that there was really no way, so he could only order the kitchen to deliver meals to everyone every day, and rest in shifts at night.

However, now that the real white sun is watching, everyone's worries still appear.

Bai Yang was much thinner than before at this time, and he felt a little weak, and he lost weight several times, and his eyes were deeply sunken into a lot.

Of course, the biggest change is not that the body is thinner than before, but the snow-white silver hair, which makes everyone feel distressed.

How sad and how much feeling this is, it can make Bai Yang's hair completely gray in a few days, and it is completely white. Looking at the dazzling white hair, everyone who saw it was sad and uncomfortable, and their hearts were also panicked.

How he spent these days may only be known to the person concerned, Bai Yang, but everyone knows that deep self-blame is inevitable, perhaps Bai Yang has been living in self-blame these days.

However, looking at Bai Yang's still bright eyes, everyone was finally relieved and finally survived.

Zhu Yan saw Bai Yang's appearance, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yang, my father's death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to ...... like this."

Before Zhu Yan finished speaking, Bai Yang raised his hand and patted Zhu Yan's shoulder, interrupting him: "Xiao Yan, it's the eldest brother who is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for the old man." I knew better than any of you present at the time, but it had already happened, and we couldn't keep an eye on it, but fortunately, the elders' revenge had been avenged, and the elders could rest in peace. ”

Bai Yang said this, glanced at Zhu Yan and said: "Xiao Yan, the most reassuring thing for the elders before they die is you, he entrusted you to me, then I am right to start the elders." From now on, you are my Baiyang's own brother, I hope you will work hard in the future and not live up to the hard work of the elders. ”

Listening to Bai Yang's words, Zhu Yan nodded silently, Bai Yang leaned towards the other party and hugged each other, and then said to everyone: "Okay, I don't have anything to do, everyone has worked hard during this time, now go back, you should have a lot of things in every place now." We just took over the affairs of Changshan County, but we can't mess it up for me, if there is no problem in any link in the future, I have one and count, don't blame me for being rude. Okay, let's go back today and have a good rest, and start to be busy tomorrow, during this time, Wen He will still preside over the work, and we will make the next step of work arrangements after you bring everything into the formal. ”

Hearing Bai Yang say this, everyone said in unison: "Yes, lord!" ”

After Bai Yang sent everyone away, he staggered a few steps towards the bedroom, but he had almost squeezed out his physical potential in the past few days, and he didn't have any energy, so he didn't have much strength in his whole body. In the end, he fell to the ground with a "bump", his eyes were black and he fell unconscious.

Before falling unconscious, he vaguely heard the call of Xiao Luliu, but Bai Yang felt that the other party's voice was very small, and his eyelids were so sleepy that he seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and then finally lost consciousness completely.

Although Bai Yang's fainting again was quite serious, Jia Xu was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he did not notify everyone in a big way, but only a limited number of people knew. After all, after notifying everyone, if people are worried about Baiyang, they will have to delay the construction and consolidation of various places, which will have too much impact on the development of Changshan County.

Jia Xu called Hua Tuo over and gave Bai Yang a pulse, wanting to see if Bai Yang had anything to do.

After Hua Tuo finished taking the pulse, he knew that Bai Yang's coma this time was mainly caused by overwork, so he ordered Xiao Luliu, and then went to the medical department to get some old ginseng and the like, and gave Bai Yang a few doses of medicine to put on it on time, and just rest well.

As for the wound on Bai Yang's arm, he stuttered as early as a few days ago, and it is estimated that it will completely recover in a few days.

Half a month later, in Bai Yang's study, Jia Xu was reporting to Bai Yang.

"Lord, now that the handover matters in various places have been completed, everything is on the right track."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Bai Yang nodded and asked, "What happened at work?" How is it compared with when Wang Chengwei and others were in charge in the past? ”

"Lord, there must be a lot of things, but you also know that we people are all good, and we have thought of a lot of solutions, and I have selected one or two of them for them to solve on their own, so basically there is no big problem with the step-by-step implementation. As for the comparison with the previous time when Wang, Sun and others were in power, it can be said that it is slightly better than when they were in power. During this period, various localities have dealt with quite a few corrupt elements who did not act or denied their way in the past, and many newcomers have been brought up from the grassroots level. Don't look at these people are grassroots personnel, but they are experienced and very skilled in many things, but they have never had a chance to show it. ”

Hearing Jia Xu talk about the situation in various places, Bai Yang was very pleased, it seems that his efforts for so long have not been in vain, at least everyone's vision or thinking is particularly correct, not to say that it is the ruling party or the ability to start a lot of problems.

"That's good, you pay attention to it during this time, let Jinyiwei keep an eye on it, if there are officials who dare to disobey and exploit the people, report it to me, and I will find a time to deal with the last batch, it will be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys."

"Lord, isn't it too good to blindly suppress it?" When Jia Xu heard Bai Yang's words, he was a little worried about his tendency to become a tyrant, since what happened to the elders, Jia Xu is now a little afraid of Bai Yang, every time he thinks of Bai Yang cleaning up Wang Chengwei, Ziyun Diao and others, he is clever, and he feels uncomfortable with a cold back. I used to feel like a ruthless person, but now that I think about it, I feel much kinder than Bai Yangyi.

"Well, what you said is also true, blind suppression is not necessarily a good thing. In this way, you let everyone look at the dots and find some people who are capable, loyal to us, and innocent in their families. When the time comes, let's promote a good batch, and everyone's enthusiasm can also be improved after a comparison. Bai Yang thought about it, what Jia Xu said was indeed not wrong, and he was indeed a bit one-sided in thinking about some things.

After Bai Yang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Huang Zhong and the others, and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, do you have any news from Hansheng and Zhou Cang?" It is said that they have been out for a long time, so it should be soon! ”

Hearing Bai Yang ask about the situation of Zhou Cang and the others, Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Lord, I came to see you this time, Xu really wants to report this matter to you, there is news from Brother Han Sheng and Brother Zhou Cang, and they will be back in about twenty days, and they should be almost a few days apart in time, and it is estimated that it is a matter of the front and rear feet." I heard that things are going very well, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang know a lot of people, many of them are some local nobles, so many things are solved very quickly, I heard that this time the king of horses brought back a lot, we really did the right thing this time, going to the Western Regions, going north to the Xiongnu to buy war horses is indeed a correct decision. As long as we can come back smoothly this time, our war horses should be enough for a few years. ”。

"Haha......, there is such news, it is really good, very good. Did you say how much you bought this time? ”

"My lord, it wasn't mentioned in the letter, but judging by the tone in the letter, it should be at least not much different from what we expected at the time, otherwise they would definitely say it." After listening to Bai Yang's question, Jia Xu thought about it and said.
