Chapter 124: March 20th
Jeon Youngg respectfully bathed and changed his clothes, burned incense and prayed for the best of his trip.
Now, Lohas Village has returned to calm. After Gao Chen ran away with more than a dozen diehards, Liu Min and the Shunyang officials who came to count the number of people and register their household registration did not embarrass them.
Memories of the fire and the horror of the killing that night are gradually hidden in the depths of the memories of the people of Lehuo Village.
Today is March Yiyou, and Quan Rong is going to Qingzhuling.
Before Li Xun set off in Quanrong, he asked Sun Xuanzhi, who was quite familiar with the Book of Changes in the village, to calculate a hexagram, and the hexagram showed good luck.
But Quan Rong didn't have much confidence in his heart, it was their relationship with Qingzhuling, so he didn't dare to be sure whether Zheng Sheng would follow the previous agreement.
But the situation in Lehuo Village is indeed not optimistic, and he can only bite the bullet.
It was the first time for Quan Rong to come to Qingzhuling, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him: Qingzhuling is now a busy construction site, and hundreds of villagers are busy in full swing.
Along the road near the Danshui River, oxen and horses carried stone slabs and wood in and out, and his carriage also stopped and stopped.
This is also a reconstruction, but it is not the same as Lehuo Village. As Jeon Rong pondered the difference between the two, his carriage stopped again.
Stopping was nothing, but Jeon Wing soon discovered that this time the situation was not the same as before.
He heard someone whispering by the side of the carriage.
"Wang Wuyu was burned alive, it's too miserable!"
"But this can't be blamed on the son of the world. Wang Wuyu has been sick in bed, and I don't think he will survive long if he is not burned to death by the fire this time......"
"Yes, demolishing the house next to the road is to build a wider road, and the Wang family refuses to let people demolish his house, isn't this a big guy who can't get by?"
Jeon Rong didn't dare to go out even more when he heard it. It turned out that Liu Yang and the others burned people to death that day! If the Wang family knows that he is from Lehuo Village, what will happen? Jeon Rong thought in horror.
Wang Wuyu's daughter-in-law, named Li Qingzhi, a native of Lijia Village, is spicy by nature, after marrying Wang Wuyu, there is usually no evil deeds, but this year something happened to the Wang family, Wang Wuyu has been bedridden since last winter, not to mention, this thief's sudden attack is even worse for the Wang family. The Wang family originally lived by the river, and this time the thieves not only burned down the Wang family's house and belongings, but also burned Wang Wuyu, who had no time to escape from the house.
She let go of the matter of revenge, because she had a son, and Zheng Shizi and Zheng were in charge of her, and that day they caught all forty-two thieves and handed them over to the government, which sentenced the chief offender and the worst offender to be beheaded, and the rest of the people were exiled to the Western Regions.
And now, the Zheng family wants to help her build a new house, and because of Wang Wuyu's misfortune and the relationship with Wang Qian, Wang Zhong's "pension" to the Wang family is a little more generous than that of other households.
It seems that she shouldn't make any more trouble.
But today, she was dressed in a heavy filial piety, lying in the middle of the road, staring at the neighbors who came and went, and scolded.
When Wang Qian heard about this, he hurried over.
Li Qingzhi hugged his son and cried bitterly.
Wang Qian's face was both panicked and sad, he blushed, and wanted to comfort his mother, but he was also very sad when he thought of his father, and he was also helpless in the current situation.
Li Qingzhi's mother's family also arrived, including her father Li He, who was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Qingzhi and reprimanded him loudly.
She cried louder and the scene became more chaotic.
Jeon Rong hides in the car and is in a dilemma. I thought to myself, how can I let a village woman mess up like this? Why hasn't anyone in the Zheng family come out to settle the dispute yet?
Today, Qingzhuling is really a lively day. In addition to Jeon Young, there are also people who visit.
This is Bo Haoci, the lord of Nanxiang, who came to Qingzhuling with an appointment.
When this appointment came to Shunyang, he and the county magistrate Qi Yun couldn't believe it. Because this is the appointment of Zheng Sheng for the sake of Nanxiang Xiluo!
Don't look at Qingzhuling in Nanxiang County, but they really don't have many opportunities to get in touch with Qingzhuling. It was easy to have an opportunity, and Hao Ci came in person.
When he arrived here, Zheng Sheng was not at home, and he only saw Wang Zhong, the housekeeper, and Li Anjian, the captain of a tiger guard battalion.
Then, Wang Zhong said with some shame: "My wife said that the prince is still young, and now he is out to serve as a strategy, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Therefore, we recommended a more suitable candidate to the main body, Li Anjian. ”
Li Anjian's first impression of him was that he was a young man who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, quiet and calm, and tall, which made Hao Ci's doubts a little cleared.
Indeed, Zheng Sheng's age is too young, and he has five doubts about whether Zheng Sheng can be a good one. It turned out that the Zheng family had thought of it a long time ago, and since this Li Anjian was pushed out by the Zheng family, he must also have some ability.
Hao Ci thought about it again, the people of the Zheng family probably can't look down on the duties of the little official, and they don't want to let the son of his family deign to be a small official!
Wang Zhong and Hao Ci had a very happy conversation.
Until, a housekeeper hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words to Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong's face changed, and his heart was very entangled, he needed to accompany Hao Ci to talk, and he couldn't leave. There is no need to tell the academy about this matter, after all, it is just a trivial matter. So what to do?
Wang Zhong thought about it, apologized to Hao Ci, called Li Anjian out, briefly said this matter, and asked him to deal with it.
Li Anjian walked to the road with a blank face, and found that there was not only a noise, but also a move!
It's worth it! Li Anjian's spirit was shocked, and after speeding into the crowd, he found that there were not only many people inside, but also a horse and a car.
The horse was frightened and was neighing incessantly.
Some of the people around him applauded, some blocked Li Qingzhi, and some were indifferent and watched coldly. Li Anjian pushed through the crowd and finally rushed to the middle.
At this time, the frightened horse touched Li Qingzhi with a hoof, and she slowly reacted, fell to the ground, and shouted: "The thief has committed murder again!" Catch the thief! ”
Li Anjian looked at Wang Qian with red eyes and ripped off the man in the carriage, and punched the man in the face, and immediately blood overflowed!
Li Anjian shouted: "Wang Qian! What are you doing! ”
He stepped forward and pulled Wang Qian away, looking around at the people who were making a fuss around, he knew them all. But today, they're not in the right situation, right? How so? Crowd outrage? How did it come to this?
Li Anjian's head was about to turn into a mess, and he looked at it, "Li Zheng, uncles, what are you doing here?" ”
"Inside the car is a thief from Lehuo Village!" Li Lizheng was so angry that he coughed excitedly after shouting this sentence.
"Yes, thief! He actually dared to come to Qingzhuling and kill him! ”
"Arrest him and hand him over to the government!"
Li Anjian stopped the crowd again and said to Wang Qian, "Go and help your mother up." ”
Then he turned around and looked at the man who was knocked down by Wang Qian's punch, he had a nosebleed on his face and wailed in pain!
"Dare to ask where the guests are coming from in the car?" Li Anjian bowed to the carriage.
Quan Rong climbed out of the carriage with a disgraced face: "I am from Lehuo Village, my surname is Rong, and I ask to see Zheng Shizi." ”
Quan Rong hated Sun Xuanzhi to death, Daji? Bah! You old liar! Originally, he was still hiding in the carriage and thinking about whether to come back another day, but I don't know how the movement over there startled the horse pulling the cart and the villagers next to the car.
Then, his driver quarreled with the people, and before Jeon Rong could stop it, he revealed his origin. In the end, it was the scene just now, Lijia Village had the same hatred and hatred for the enemy, and they were unanimous with the outside world!
Li Anjian shook his head: "My family is out, not here." Please come back! He didn't know about Zheng Sheng and Quan Rong's agreement. Although he also knew that Lehuo Village had surrendered, Zheng Sheng also played a role in it. But he still doesn't want to see the people of Lohas.
Quan Rong smiled bitterly: "I don't know when Zheng Shizi will return?" ”
Li Anjian shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Where has the prince gone?"
"I don't know." Li Anjian knew but didn't want to tell him.
Jeon Rong left in a gloomy mood amid the ridicule of the villagers.
After dealing with foreign affairs, it is an internal problem.
At this time, Wang Qian was panicked. Li Anjian only glanced at him and persuaded the onlookers around him to leave one by one.
He finally looked at Li Qingzhi: "Aunt Qingzhi, what do you want to do?" ”
Li Qingzhi thought for a while, and said in a loud voice: "Your Uncle Wang is gone, my house is gone, and the ship is sinking." I only have Qian'er, you still have to demolish my house, what can Qian'er do in the future? ”
Li Anjian couldn't cry or laugh: "It must be that the person who told you didn't make it clear!" If you tear down the house, you have to build a new one! It's just east of the village. ”
Li Qingzhi was silent for a while, then nodded, "That's it." ”
Li Anjian relaxed, this matter is very simple!
"Wang Qian, you accompany your mother home! Go back to the camp in the afternoon. ”
Li Anjian handed over the task, and Li Qingzhi's troubles disappeared quietly like a slight wave accidentally set off by a calm sea.
Li Qingzhi took Wang Qian back to their temporary home, which was a simple hut that everyone helped build.
She took a closer look at her son's situation, and he was fine. Li Qingzhi was relieved.
She was busy as usual, today was the time when her son rarely came home, and she had to cook for him.
Although the food at home was much worse than that in the big canteen, Wang Qian ate happily.
After eating, Wang Qian finally couldn't help it and asked the sentence: "Mother, why?" ”
Li Qingzhi was silent.
Wang Qian lowered his head and whispered: "Uncle Zheng Shiquan said very clearly that day, you also told me that our family will have a new house. Today, why is that? ”
Li Qingzhi sighed: "You and your father are the same dead son. But, Qian'er! If we want to live well, we still have to fight! ”
Wang Qian looked at her blankly.
"Just say your father! He helped Shizi catch a thief and fell ill for a winter. refused to turn to the prince for help, saying that he didn't want to trouble the son. Well, now it's good to be burned alive by the fire! ”
Li Qingzhi choked back tears and said, "I'm afraid you'll suffer!" Qian'er. What the son of the world can give us is naturally good, but you also have to fight, strive to live better than others. ”
Wang Zhong and Li Anjian sent Hao Ci away, and Li Anjian told the matter again.
Wang Zhong sighed: "I will arrange for Wang Qian's family to build a house first, and I didn't think about Wang Wuyu's matter!" ”
