Chapter 006: Chapel
The willows on the embankment have sprouted, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of smoke and green with the blue river water, and the fog is misty, like a poetic illusion.
The sky is sprinkled with a little drizzle, the whole Qinghe County is shrouded in this smoke and rain, there is a layer of mist floating in the air, and the houses on both sides of the street are all white walls and blue tiles, which makes Qinghe County look like a light ink painting.
And in this blue and light mist, the lively sound of ceremonial music gradually came......
The people put down their work and came to the streets to watch the excitement, and the long procession to welcome relatives was full of joy, which attracted the people's admiration again and again.
"The county magistrate's family marrying a daughter-in-law is lively, look at this pomp, I'm afraid it's the only one in Qinghe County!"
"That's not it, I heard that the ancestor of this bride is the former Qing prince, it's big!"
"Yo! It's still a person! I didn't expect that the emperor's relatives could also appear in our Qinghe County! ”
"What kind of royal relatives and relatives, now they are all the Republic of China, and those old and young are not worth mentioning!"
The people on the street talked a lot, Yan Nianjin leaned on the back of the chair in the sedan chair and closed her eyes to recuperate, she got up too early today, and she didn't eat anything, now she is hungry and sleepy, plus the heavy phoenix crown weighs on her headache, and now she only feels uncomfortable.
After a long time, just when Yan Nianjin was drowsy, the sedan chair shook, and then it stopped bumping, Yan Nianjin opened her eyes, tidied up her clothes, sat up straight, and thought that this should be to Gu's house.
Sure enough, the sound of firecrackers soon sounded outside the sedan chair, and then the sedan curtain was lifted, Xi Niang got off the sedan chair with Yan Nianjin, and soon a very broad back appeared in front of him, Yan Nianjin climbed on the back according to Xi Niang's instructions, and entered the gate of the Gu family by the other party.
Next is the cumbersome custom, over the brazier, across the saddle, after a series of actions, before leading the red silk into the Gu family's main hall.
Although the hijab was covered, Yan Nianjin could still hear that there were a lot of people gathered in this inquiry, and through the gap exposed by the hijab, Yan Nianjin saw a pair of dark and shiny Western-style leather shoes and the edge of a red long shirt, this should be Gu Congzhi!
Just when Yan Nianjin was thinking nonsense, the master of ceremonies shouted: "The auspicious time is coming, and the newcomer worships heaven and earth!" ”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several loud noises shook the ground, and the originally lively hall instantly quieted down, and Yan Nianjin subconsciously clenched the red silk in her hand.
"Hahaha...... County Magistrate Gu is really generous, the sound of this salute is really earth-shattering! ”
It was unknown who spoke among the guests, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Yes, yes!"
"It doesn't sound like a cannon salute, I don't sound like a gun!"
"Hey, I heard that there was a fight in Yancheng a few days ago, shouldn't it hit our Qinghe County?"
"It shouldn't be! There was no movement outside the city last night! ”
"Qinghe County is the southern gate of Yancheng, if we open it all, then Wouldn't Overseer Chen ......?"
"Say no more!"
The guests began to whisper, and Gu Qi's originally red face became a little ugly.
"County magistrate! The county magistrate is not good! There is a fight outside the city! Someone outside the door suddenly shouted, and the voice came from far and near, revealing endless panic.
"What? Who dares to do it in Qinghe County! How could Chen Overseer spare him! Gu Qi suddenly stood up from the chair and said angrily.
But after saying that, a figure flashed in his mind, could it be that he killed him back? But Qinghe County has always been the military fortress of Chen Dujun, if that person really came back, it is impossible for Chen Dujun not to reveal any news to him!
"The soldiers defending the city have already run away, and we are afraid that Qinghe County will change masters this time!" The person who came gasped and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that Gu Qi would not hear it.
"What!" Gu Qi's face turned pale, and he sat down on the chair, his eyes turning rapidly.
As soon as the guests heard this, they immediately became chaotic, shouting and noisy footsteps instantly spread throughout the Gu family, and the neatly placed tables, chairs and benches were also overturned to the ground by the guests who fled in a panic.
Yan Nianjin didn't care about the etiquette, so she directly lifted her hijab, pushed away the coral beads that covered her eyes and pinned them behind her ears, only to see that only the Gu family was left in the hall, and the guests were messing around in the courtyard, desperately trying to escape.
Turning around, I saw Gu Qi sitting in the main hall with a pale face, a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old was supporting Mrs. Gu, who had already been paralyzed with fright, a teenage girl was hiding behind Mrs. Gu, and next to him stood a man in a red robe covered with a crimson coat, which should be Gu Congzhi.
"Father!" Gu Congzhi shouted Gu Qi.
Gu Qi came back to his senses at this time, he stood up suddenly, and said to Gu Congzhi: "Take care of your mother, I'll go out and have a look!" ”
Subconsciously, Gu Qi felt that this siege was just a temptation of that person, after all, this was the lair where Chen Dujun had been entrenched for many years, even if he wanted to fight, he would not be destroyed in a day!
Gu Qi strode towards the door, but before he could reach the door, he heard a rumbling car sound outside, followed by the sound of uniform footsteps, sonorously coming towards the courtyard.
Gu Qi only felt a cold sweat on his back, he hoped that it was Inspector Chen's people coming, but he knew that this possibility seemed to be not very likely! He hadn't expected that the man's speed would be so fast, he had obviously suffered a serious gunshot wound.
Standing under the eaves of the porch, Gu Qi watched as the courtyard was quickly surrounded by a group of well-trained soldiers, and the guests who did not run out were quickly controlled and all squatted on the ground.
Gu Qi knew that Supervisor Chen was mostly finished, otherwise he would not have let Qinghe County change hands and there would be no movement!
Yan Nianjin looked at the death-like silence of the courtyard, which was obviously crowded with people, but it was so quiet that it seemed that a needle could be heard when it fell.
Seeing Gu Qi like this, she was afraid that the situation was not good, but she couldn't think of anyone who would dare to make a move on Chen Dujun's territory.
In the past few years, although warlords from all over the country have fought frequently in order to seize territory, the world under the jurisdiction of Overseer Chen has never been affected, and all this came too suddenly!
Just when Yan Nianjin was thinking wildly, a figure walked out from behind the wall photo at the gate of the courtyard, wearing heavy black military boots, wearing a navy blue military uniform, and the military hat covered half of the person's face. But the tall and leaning figure with the compelling aura of an iron-blooded soldier makes people chill.
