Chapter 957: Snuggling up to each other

Gao Jun couldn't think of any suitable words to persuade her, so he just hugged her tighter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One night later, Li Junshi's county commander personally came to invite him, saying that he would leave immediately. His words were so simple that they had no beginning or end, but Gao Jun and Fan Ying knew that this was related to the major events of this trip.

They quickly packed up, and outside the post house, Lord Fan and Lord Chu actually arrived, and each of them rode a horse, as if they were going to travel far away. Li Xianling also brought two entourages to follow. A total of seven people left Yuhang County and galloped to the official road. Master Chu said that they were going to Qianxian County.

At this time, Fan Ying didn't ask much, but there was a nervous look of great anticipation on her face. Gao Jun was also extremely strange in his heart, since he had already had news of Fan Bojiang, why did he go to Qianxian County.

In Qianxian County, Wude placed Qianzhou in the county in the eighth year, and abolished the state in the ninth year of Wude. Thirty miles outside the county, Lord Chu pointed to a river and introduced it to Gao Jun, saying that it was the Zixi River, with endless fertile fields on both sides of the river and rolling rice waves.

Everyone had nothing to say but hurried, and then galloped up a high mountain along the mountain road, and Lord Chu introduced that this is a section of Tianmu Mountain, and under the mountain is a 30-mile-long artificially dug ditch that can be passed through the boat, and leads directly to the source of the Zixi River.

Yuqian County Ya.

Zheng Zao, the county commander, knew the intention of the governor of Xizhou, and personally led Fan Boshan, Chu Suiliang, Gao Jun, Fan Ying, and Li Junshi to the outside of the county office.

Not only Fan Ying, but even Gao Jun was inexplicably happy at this time, and a hope suddenly appeared in his heart, knocking on the door of a remote courtyard in an alley in the city, and there were two relatives of Fan Ying standing in the door.

But when he arrived, he knew that Fang Cai was purely delusional.

This is a separate courtyard of the exclusive county government, not big, tile house four, there are people in and out of it, and there are 20 archers guarding the door. As soon as I walked in, there was a stale air floating in the air in the courtyard.

The others had obviously been here first, so Zheng Xianling opened the door of a house to the north, stretched out his hand and said to Gao Jun, "Your Excellency, please." ”

When they entered, Fan Ying's hand kept in the crook of her brother's arm and didn't dare to let go, and her heart was pounding.

The room is cramped and has a shady atmosphere. There are two wooden beds on the north wall and two wooden beds on the west wall, and two wooden basins are placed under the north bed, which are actually filled with ice cubes.

At the beginning of September, the ice cubes were from last year, and they were something that ordinary people couldn't buy with money.

It seemed that there were people lying on both beds, and the green cloth was covered with their heads and feet. It's just that the bed on the west side looks very dry and thin, and there is no ice basin under the bed.

Zheng Xianling stepped forward and personally lifted the green cloth on the bed on the north side, and the two corpses of a man and a woman lying side by side were presented in front of everyone.

In addition to the fact that the clothes on their bodies looked very bad, the flowers on the skirt of the woman were no longer visible, and the clothes could barely be torn, the two seemed to have just fallen asleep and snuggled up to each other.

Next to the two arms of the man and woman was a black wooden box three inches square, the shaft and lock were all red gold, and the lid was tightly fastened, but there was no lock.

The man looked like he was in his thirties, and Gao Jun only glanced at him and found that his appearance was five points similar to Fan Boshan, and he was slightly younger than him.

And the woman is only twenty-eight or nine, with a serene face, and she was a beauty when she was alive.

Just by Fan Ying's reaction of clenching his arm violently, Gao Jun knew that she had recognized these two people. Her body was shaky, barely able to support it, and she trembled and leaned against Gao Jun's body.

Fan Boshan said in a low voice, "Ying'er, do you still have any impression, they are your parents!" Fan Ying threw herself in front of the bed, looked at the two of them intently, and did not make a sound, her tears were like beads of broken threads.

From one day on, she leaned on the door when she was a child, and her parents have not been heard from since they went out. Since then, a girl has been alone and adrift for support. The benefactor took her north to look for her uncle but died of illness on the way, and she went from hope to despair. Master led her to learn the art to the end, and she went from weak to strong.

The people around him all cried, Zong Zheng Shaoqing cried the most, and Gao Jun was also heartbroken when he saw Fan Ying like this. I can't imagine that the reunion in ten years is the separation of yin and yang.

He stroked Fan Ying's shoulder, and when he saw that she was crying so much that he had to pull her up, and then lay on Gao Jun's shoulder and sobbed.

Gao Jun patted her back and said, "Okay, we have to investigate the cause of death of the two elders!" She began to whimper, but her tears were still dry.

Yu Qian County Zheng County Ling took this opportunity to tell what happened:

The Tuntian advocated by Lord Chu was carried out at the same time in the eight counties to which Yuhang belonged, and the Hangzhou Assassin Mansion was in line with the idea of respecting the important ministers of the court, and in addition to the commissioner in the state who was in charge of the affairs of Tuntian, all major matters that should be related should be reported to Lord Chu at the same time.

And the Zheng County Order of Qianxian County also organizes the county's civil servants to Tuntian every day. Zixi Pond, which is located in the upper reaches of the Zixi River, was a rippling pool ten years ago, but has gradually dried up into a swamp.

In order to dredge the river and turn this large area of swamp into fertile land, the county commander Zheng Zao reported to Lord Chu and the state government to mobilize the county's civil servants to dig an artificial canal along the southern edge of Zixitang, and spread the pond mud into the ground for fields.

In the process of digging the ditch, a civilian servant inadvertently found the two men under the silt. When I pulled them out, I found that their limbs were soft and their eyes were like life, as if they had just fallen into the water.

But the river here was shallow and knee-deep in the early years, and it was evident that the two of them had been in their clothes for some years, when they were lying side by side under the mud, and clutching a gold-decorated wooden box of gloomy wood in the woman's arms.

The civil servants flew to the county government, and then reported to Lord Chu. What can make Chu Suiliang connect these two people with Fan Boshan and Fan Ying is the things in this gold-decorated wooden box.

At this time, Master Chu stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and opened the wooden box between the bodies of Fan Bojiang and his wife, and a cold light overflowed from under the wooden cover. At the same time, there was a slight smell in everyone's noses—yes, it was obviously bitter.

The bitter taste is usually tasted by the tongue, but at this time, it is clear that there is a bitter taste floating in the room that can be smelled by a wisp of nose! The lids have all been opened, the bitterness has become a little stronger, and the room is full of glory!

Chu Dadao, "The original copper lock on the lid of the box has rusted off when it was excavated. Gao Jun stared intently at the box, a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg was shining! And the red silk lined with the box was also reflected in it.

The inside of the lid of the wooden box is also lined with red silk, and on top is a clip bag, and Master Chu does not move the bead, but pokes out a folded piece of paper from the clip bag.

He said to Gao Jun and Fan Ying, "The old man has never seen it before, it's all said on this page...... The name of this bead is 'Coptis chinensis', which is the most precious in medicine...... We've all seen it. ”

According to the time of Fan Bojiang's disappearance, it will not be less than ten years, but the couple is still not corrupt, and no one can help but believe it. The two of them were close to each other when they died, and the wooden box in Mrs. Fan's arms was of course the closest to the two, so their incorruptibility can be explained.

Lord Chu and Zheng Xianling didn't know this secret at first, and they also opened a case to investigate, thinking that the body was newly killed. But then the page was found in the mezzanine, and it was only then that the identities of the two deceased were clarified.

"I don't know how Lord Chu knew that they were Fan Ying's parents at that time?" Gao Jun asked.

Lord Chu's humanity is all on paper, and you look at yourself. It was the old man who saw his name on it, and suddenly remembered that Fan Shaoqing once said that his brother's name was "Bojiang", so he urgently reported to Lord Fan.
