Han Xuan didn't expect that he and Su Lie were separated last time, and this parting was actually an eternal separation. Han Xuan wiped his tears and asked Uncle Ding, "Uncle Ding, how did Uncle Su pass away?" ”

Ding Bo sighed and said, "Just after you left, the group of bandits from Yamen Village came to the village and caught Brother Su. They forced Brother Su to hand over something, and Brother Su would rather die than give in, so he ...... Committed suicide. ”

Han Xuan gritted his teeth and punched the ground: "If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man!" He had long regarded Su Lie as his relative, and now that Su Lie had been dead for a long time, he hated himself for coming too late and failing to fulfill his filial piety.

Han Xuan gradually calmed down and thought that the inscription engraved on the tombstone was not an inscription like "Xiankao", which meant that it was not erected by Su Zhong and others. So he asked Ding Bo: "Is Uncle Su buried by you?" Didn't his son and daughter-in-law come to the funeral? ”

Ding Bo replied: "Alas~ After Brother Su passed away, I saw his children and grandchildren and sent him to the funeral in the future. So he asked someone to help buy a coffin, carved a tombstone, and buried Brother Su. I've got his house bolted up. ”

Han Xuan said, "Thank you, Ding Bo. Han Xuan ordered Yang Xiong to bring him some money and thank him for burying Su Lie well.

After Han Xuan and Yang Xiong cleaned up the weeds in front of Su Lie's grave, Han Xuan ordered someone to go to the town to buy sacrifices, and kowtowed to Su Lie's grave with Su Qiao'er. After paying tribute to Su Lie, Su Qiao'er asked to go home to find her parents, and Han Xuan happened to ask why they didn't come to Su Lie's funeral.

Han Xuan took Su Qiaoer, Dong Ping, Yang Xiong and others to the county seat of Luoxian. When she came to the door of Su's house, Su Qiaoer was just about to step forward and knock on the door, but saw that the door was locked from the outside.

Su Qiao'er was so anxious that she called out to her parents, and the neighbors ran over one after another, pointing at them and not knowing what to do. A woman walked out of the crowd, and Su Qiao'er saw her and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Ji, have you seen my father and mother?" Do you know where they went? ”

Aunt Ji's face was embarrassed, and she stopped talking. Su Qiao'er asked again and again, and she finally opened her mouth: "I was afraid that I would be too sad to tell you that your father and mother have passed away for a few months!" Poor Qiao'er, why are you so miserable......"

When Su Qiao'er heard this, she suddenly felt like a knife in her heart, and she was full of grief, and her eyes turned black and fainted.

Han Xuan hurriedly went over to help her up, helped her to lie flat on the ground, and shouted to the people around her, "Disperse!" Yang Xiong hurriedly led someone to drive them away, and Han Xuan immediately gave Su Qiao'er chest heart squeeze and artificial respiration, and then told Yang Xiong to go to the doctor quickly.

The onlookers felt very strange and insulting to etiquette when they saw Han Xuan's behavior like this, and pointed at them. Han Xuan ignored them and picked up Su Qiao'er, Dong Ping assisted him in helping Su Qiao'er into the carriage, and found the nearest inn to settle her.

Yang Xiong hurriedly came to the inn with the doctor under the guidance of the family soldiers, and after the doctor checked Su Qiao'er's pulse, Han Xuan asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is she?" ”

The doctor looked at him in surprise, and Han Xuan remembered that "doctor" was the Song Dynasty's name for doctors, so he immediately changed his words and asked again. The doctor stroked her goatee and said, "This girl is fine, but she will suddenly fall into a coma when she is in a hurry." I'll prescribe a sobering medicine, and you can buy it and feed her it. ”

Han Xuan immediately ordered someone to go to buy medicine, and found the woman named Aunt Ji and asked, "What is going on?" Why did Su Zhong and his wife die? ”

Aunt Ji replied, "One night a few months ago, I heard several screams coming from their house. The next day I went to their house, and when I saw that the door was open, I pushed it in, only to see them stabbed to death. I was so frightened that I immediately reported to the official, and the county commander brought the officers and soldiers to carry away the corpses, buried them outside the city, and blocked the door of the Su family. ”

Han Xuan asked again, "What about the murderer?" Did you find out? ”

Aunt Ji shook her head and said, "Because no one saw the murderer, the county magistrate said that the husband and wife were killed by bandits. He said that the thieves returned to the cottage after making money and killing them, and closed the case on the grounds that it was difficult for the officials and soldiers to conquer it. ”

After hearing this, Han Xuan scolded angrily: "Dog officer! I only heard a few coughs behind her, and it turned out that Su Qiao'er had woken up, sitting at the head of the bed, her face was pale, and her body was obviously very weak.

Han Xuan hurriedly went over and said with concern: "Qiao'er, how are you feeling?" Su Qiao'er leaned her head on Han Xuan's arms and cried loudly, Han Xuan hugged her and kept comforting her.

Su Qiao'er cried and said, "Father, mother." Why do you want to leave Qiao'er behind? Woowoo...... Qiao'er is not filial, and she left home without permission to cause you to die unjustly, and Qiao'er failed to come back in time to keep filial piety for you! ”

She choked up again and said, "Qiao'er has no relatives now, and she is helpless, so you let me go with Ah Weng and my father and mother!" ”

Han Xuan patted her shoulder and comforted, "Qiao'er, what stupid thing are you talking about." You still have me, and I am also your relative! ”

Han Xuan saw her crying heartbreakingly, and hugged her into his arms and said, "You should live well, Ah Weng and your father and mother have spirits in the sky, and I can't bear to see you so sad and cry badly." ”

Han Xuan felt that Su Qiao'er was too pitiful, and just after worshipping his grandfather, he learned of the death of his parents. An adult can't stand such a sudden blow, let alone a twelve-year-old girl. Han Xuan comforted her very gently, and Su Qiao'er vented all the sadness suppressed in her heart through crying, at least it was better than being more uncomfortable in her heart, and she cried for a while, and her crying gradually became smaller.

Seeing that Su Qiao'er was relieved, Yang Xiong handed over the boiled medicine. Han Xuan took the medicine bowl, scooped a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Su Qiao'er, and said while feeding: "Your body is still very weak now, you should take care of your body first." Uncle Su and Uncle Su Zhong were victimized by bandits and gangsters, don't worry, I will definitely avenge them! Come, drink the medicine first. ”

Su Qiao'er nodded and obediently drank all the medicine. Han Xuan was thinking that he only brought a hundred cavalry, and it was definitely not enough to attack the cottage, so it seemed that he still had to go to meet the county order of Luo County.

Han Xuan asked Yang Xiong to help him take good care of Su Qiao'er, and he took Dong Ping and several family soldiers to the Luoxian County Office.

When he came to the gate of the county office, Han Xuan asked Dong Ping to beat the drum and voice his grievances. "Knock knock! Knock knock! When the officer heard the sound of the drums, he came out of the door and asked, "Who is beating the drum?" ”

Han Xuan said: "Grass people Han Xuan, there is a great grievance asking the county commander to call the shots!" ”

The official saw that he was gorgeously dressed, and he should be the son of a big family, so he didn't dare to offend. Then he said: "Come in, the county magistrate has just been on his lunch break and was woken up by the drumming of you and others." You wait for the grievances to come quickly! ”

The two officials opened the door, and many people around who were watching the excitement came over and followed Han Xuan and others into the county office.

I saw that above the lobby, a sleepy-eyed middle-aged man yawned and came to the county office desk and knelt down. Everyone couldn't help but laugh quietly, and the county man stared at him above his head, and he realized that his official hat was worn crookedly.

After tidying up the official hat, he said with a straight face: "Ahem, this official is Qian Rui, the county commander of Luo County, who is beating the drum and complaining about grievances?" ”

Han Xuan stepped forward and arched his hand: "Qian County Order, grass people Han Xuan, there is a great grievance and begging the county commander to be the master!" ”

Qian Rui rubbed his eyes and looked at Han Xuan, looking at him, although this person was only a young man, he was a rich man, and he had to be served. So he smiled and said, "Well, Han Gongzi, if you have any grievances, just tell me." This official has always loved the people like a son, and he will definitely be the master for you! ”

Han Xuan said: "Su Lie, the life-saving benefactor of the grass people, was originally a villager in Lingwu Village, Naluo County. When the grass people came back this time, they learned that their life-saving benefactor had been killed by local bandits a few months ago. The grace of receiving a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, let alone the grace of saving lives? Therefore, the grass people came to ask the county to send troops to exterminate the bandits and avenge my benefactor! ”

I saw Qian Rui say with a cold face after hearing this: "What are you talking about, but the old man Su Liesu?" It's hard to do! He was victimized by the thieves in Yamen Village, there are thousands of thieves in Yamen Village, how can there be less than 1,000 soldiers in this county? ”

Han Xuan said: "The grass people know the difficulties of the adults, and they are willing to help the county commander, and send people to assist the county commander to go to suppress the thieves together." One avenges my benefactor, to comfort his soul in heaven; The second is to eradicate thieves and protect the land and the people, which is also the work of adults! ”

The Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, and the people admired the loyal and righteous people. So all the people in the hall supported Han Xuan, and many people stepped forward with him to ask the county order to send troops to suppress the thieves.
