Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu coalition army was defeated, and Jiaogao County at this time was already the territory of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the Kuomintang also sent people to serve as county magistrates. Li Ling and his entourage of more than 30 people went straight to the county seat.

Jiaogao County is the hometown of Tan Xiangrong, a big hooligan in Qingdao. Tan Xiangrong was assassinated by his brother Tan Xiangsen and blamed Li Ling. After Li Ling escaped from Qingdao, he pretended to be the county magistrate in Jiaogao County, and then killed Tan Xiangyang, the third brother of the local bully Tan Xiangsen, and took over the enmity with the Tan family.

Li Ling didn't dare to come blatantly, after all, the Tan family was deep-rooted, and the potential forces had to be guarded against. Scattered more than 30 people and entered the city in twos and threes. Li Ling walked into a teahouse accompanied by Ge Changxing, and met an acquaintance head-on, who was Chang Jingzhi, the master of Jiaogao County. I saw him sitting alone in a corner drinking tea, looking preoccupied.

Due to the takeover of the Northern Expeditionary Army, all the figures in the county government were driven out, and Chang Jingzhi has been unemployed since then. He has been in Jiaogao County for a long time, assisted by many governors and county magistrates, and now once a son of heaven and a courtier, Jiaogao County is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang system, and his master has fallen to the point of nowhere to return, and he has been in the teahouse every day to inquire about some news, hoping to climb a big tree opportunistically. It's just that the times are not good, and I don't know the officials of the Northern Expeditionary Army, so I can only live a miserable life. On this day, I was sullen and drank tea as usual, but I saw two people sitting directly opposite me.

Chang Jingzhi is the master of the Beiyang system, and now everyone wants to get rid of him, but he didn't expect that in the huge empty teahouse, there are people who come to talk to him, and when he raised his mouth to look, he was shocked for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

Li Ling smiled slightly, sat opposite him, and said, "Master Chang, don't come to harm's way, how can you have time to come here to taste tea." ”

Chang Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his hand and said, "County Magistrate Li? It's really County Magistrate Li! You're still alive. ”

"What? I am so looking forward to my death. Li Ling said with a smile.

"No, no, no, of course it's good to be alive." Chang Jingzhi waved his hand again and again: "How can you come here, I heard that you pretended to be the county magistrate before, is it true?" Even if the government doesn't want you, the Tan family won't let you go. ”

Li Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Tan family!" has been prosperous for so many years, and the family road should also fall. I did pretend to be the county magistrate once, and I would like to thank Master Chang for his cooperation that day. It's just that I gave up after only two days in office, which is really not very enjoyable! ”

Chang Jingzhi is getting older and less courageous, confirming that Li Ling has indeed pretended to be the county magistrate, he was stunned for a while, even if it has been so long, he is trembling with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Why are you so bold, you are not afraid of catching and killing the head." Pretending to be the county magistrate, opening a warehouse to release grain, and releasing death row prisoners, you are too bold and reckless for you. You hurry up and get out of here, if the Tan family knows about it, they will send someone to take revenge. At that time, when you killed Tan Xiangyang, the Tan family almost took me for the crime. ”

Li Ling frowned and said, "Two of the three brothers of the Tan family have died, look at you, you're scared." What is the situation in Jiaogao County, tell me. ”

"I've seen the bold, but I've never seen you so bold." Chang Jingzhi looked at him fixedly for a minute before he said: "Recently, Governor Sun Liangcheng sent a county magistrate to arrive, and I heard that he used to be an official in the Northwest Army. It has been more than a month since he took office, and everyone privately calls him Bao Qingtian. ”

"Oh? It seems that this county magistrate is honest and honest, not bad, not bad. Li Ling sincerely admired that there are almost no officials in the world today who can make the people call Qingtian.

"Bullshit," Chang Jingzhi said fiercely, "It's because his surname is Bao and he's so black." ”

Li Ling was speechless, and said, "What is the Tan family doing now?" ”

"I heard that the two brothers of the Tan family died in your hands, and the widows and orphans all live in Ginkgo Village, the old mansion of the Tan family, in the northwest of the county. Now Tan Xiangsen, the only one in charge of Qingdao's industry, heard that a reward of 5,000 oceans was offered to avenge the two brothers. It can be seen that his Tan family hates you to the core. ”

"Are you saying that Tan Xiangrong's wife and children are all living in Ginkgo Village?"

"Yes, after Tan Xiangrong died in Qingdao, the orphans and widows were unable to inherit the property, so they gave all the things in Qingdao to his brother Tan Xiangsen to take care of."

Li Ling's eyes rolled, and he secretly said that although he and the others killed the local bully Tan Xiangyang, the third elder of the Tan family, the death of his eldest brother Tan Xiangrong in Qingdao had nothing to do with him. It was the second Tan Xiangsen who killed his brother for the casino industry. If you can, using the widow of the boss Tan Xiangrong can make Tan Xiangsen ruined in Qingdao. This matter should wait for Jing Lian to arrive and study it carefully, after all, Jing Lian was the number one general under Tan Xiangrong.

At Li Ling's request, the two lived in Chang Jingzhi's house. Chang Jing has a son and a daughter, the son is studying in Jinan, and the daughter's name is Sanyu, just like the jasper of the small family, which is very watery.

Ge Changxing's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he smiled: "I don't know if your girl can be married to someone?" If you want me to be a talent, why don't you just have a relative with Master Chang? ”

Looking at Ge Changxing's old face full of stubble, Chang Jingzhi was bold and said fiercely: "No way." ”

Ge Changxing smiled contemptuously and said, "Your daughter can still be a main room if she marries me." If Brother Jiatang sees it, hehe, hehe. ”

Chang Jingzhi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly instructed his mother-in-law to take her daughter to a relative's house for a few days.

Li Ling arranged for the brothers to live in Jiaogao County, waiting for He Jiatang, Sun Yuzhu and his group to arrive. Chang Jingzhi heard that Li Ling was once the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he was very attentive to Li Ling. After all, he is a person who is spinning in the old officialdom, and his sycophant kung fu can be called a must, and Li Ling is fluttering.

I had nothing to do this day, and I walked on the street accompanied by Chang Jingzhi. Looking at the many beggars begging on both sides, Chang Jingzhi said: "At the beginning, County Magistrate Li, you came to our Jiaogao County to open a granary to help the victims, and the urban and rural people respected you as the master of the blue sky. Later, it was rumored that you were a pretending county magistrate, and the people were incredulous, and they scolded the Beiyang government for bullying the people and driving away good officials. Many people gathered in front of the county government to protest, and some even knelt on the ground to pray for your blessings. If you reveal your identity now, you will definitely be able to gather a large number of people immediately. ”

Li Ling was a little moved when he heard this. These villagers are simple, and they can always remember the grace of people. That day, he was just delivering a bowl of porridge to the victims, which was also the responsibility of the government. Thinking about those who don't make decisions for the people, but just blindly become officials and make a fortune, Li Ling can only sigh secretly.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a large number of people rushing to an alley to the east. Whether it's the pedestrians on the street, the shopkeepers, or the people on the street, they all rush away, as if something big has happened in that place. The noise is so loud that I can't hear it clearly.

Li Lingda was curious, and Chang Jingzhi on the side explained: "Some time ago, Zhu Youcai's three-year-old son suddenly said that he was the reincarnation of Wang Liyan, the leader of the Boxer Rebellion thirty years ago. And what he said was colorful, and he could tell the place of his birthplace and how he led the Boxers to fight the foreigners. ”

Li Ling's body shook suddenly when he heard this. He believed in reincarnation legends because he often dreamed that he was a man of another era, and a hundred years later, he died in a huge earthquake.

Chang Jingzhi didn't notice Li Ling's expression, and said to himself: "This matter is shocking, Zhu Youcai led his son to Liaocheng County to verify the truth of what his son said. His three-year-old child recognized many old people in Liaocheng County at a glance, and there were also many of his subordinates and children. Ask them to transcend the spirits of the dead who follow them. ”

This incident caused a sensation in both places, and the two families have been going back and forth frequently for more than a year. It's just that Zhu Youcai has a solid family, he is old and has children, and he just wants to be able to transition the rest of his life safely, so this time he invited the Taoist chief of Laoshan Taiqing Palace to erase the memory of his past life for him. ”

Li Ling didn't come back to his senses for a long time in a daze, he could only appear in his dreams with fragments of his past and present lives, and this three-year-old child could actually remember everything exactly right. It seems that reincarnation is also different. What surprised him even more was that the Taoist priest was able to erase his previous memories out of thin air, which also subverted his perception of religious and cultural traditions.

Unknowingly, he came to Zhu Youcai's house. The courtyard of the Zhu family is huge, but it is surrounded by people on both sides, and it is difficult to walk. Li Ling finally squeezed inside to take a look, and saw a two- or three-year-old boy wearing a red hood, escorted by two adults to kneel in front of the board, while a Taoist priest in his forties next to him was brandishing a long sword and chanting words in his mouth.

The child showed a composure that was extremely inconsistent with his age, and although he was held in prison and unable to break free, his immature voice still shouted: "Even if I forget the cause of my past life, I will not sow the fruit of ignorance here." I am not uncommon for your Zhu family to be rich, and my body belongs to your Zhu family, but my soul still belongs to the general altar. If the boxers knew you were doing this, they wouldn't let you go. ”

This child didn't want to be erased from his memory, and when he couldn't do anything, he closed his eyes and said: "The Boxers of the Divine Aid Fist are only because of the devils who are making trouble in the Central Plains."

Persuasion and self-confidence in the heavens, not believing in gods, forgetting ancestors and immortals

Men and women commit adultery, and children are the property of children and mothers

If you don't believe it, look carefully, the devil's eyes are blue

There was no rain, the land was scorched, and the drought was all in the church

The gods were angry, and the immortals were angry, and they went down the mountain together to preach the way

……”

The Boxer Boxer shocked China and foreign countries with a vigorous impact, and finally collapsed under the internal and external attacks, which is embarrassing. Although this child is the reincarnation of the leader of the Boxer Rebellion, no one has come to dissuade him now. After the Taoist priest practiced the Fa, the tip of the sword pointed at the child, and the child fainted under the astonished gaze of everyone.

Although Zhu Youcai wanted to forcibly erase his son's memory, his beloved son was deeply moved, and when he saw him unconscious, he eagerly rushed over and hugged him.

The Taoist priest collected his merits and said, "When he wakes up, he should forget his previous life." ”

Reincarnation is a very mysterious thing, it has been beyond the scope of everyone's thinking, and what surprised everyone even more was that there was a Taoist priest who could erase his memory, and everyone present was looking forward to the scene after this child woke up
