At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun in the sky was already scorching people's heads. In normal times, not to mention standing under the sun, even under the eaves and in the shade of trees, there will not be too many people, and most people would rather choose to hide in the house. But now, at this time, the two streets connected by the cross are surrounded by people watching the excitement, not only are cars and horses completely closed to traffic, but even pedestrians cannot pass. In order not to make mistakes, the Chaozhou Mansion and Haiyang County Offices began to allocate manpower as early as two days ago, plus the soldiers and horses sent by Yan Jifang, the chief soldier of South Australia, just to eliminate any possibility of robbing the law field.

And in the center of the execution ground, Lin Daoqian, who was tied up with flowers, knelt there, already sweating. Sweat kept flowing into his eyes, so that he couldn't see the onlookers in all directions clearly, and it was even more difficult to distinguish which ones were purely for the excitement and which ones he knew before, and he didn't know if Xiuzhu had come to the execution ground. In all fairness, in the last journey of his life, he really wanted to see his flesh and blood left in this world, but his sons were still in Siam Pattai, and his only daughter was equivalent to sending him to the execution ground with her own hands.

But if others knew, he actually told Xiuzhu about the treasure that only he knew, and he would definitely feel even more funny. Even Lin Daoqian himself didn't know if this was the so-called dying of people, and his deeds were good, or he simply wanted to see if the young inspector who dared to use Xiuzhu to lure him to reveal his flaws, and finally served him and Lin Afeng in a pot, could resist the temptation of huge wealth. Even he didn't think much about Xiuzhu's safety, he just wanted to throw the last bait, looking forward to a good show that he couldn't see at all.

To know. I want to dig out Wu Ping's treasure at the beginning. Two of his most confidant subordinates rebelled against him. And then he turned against him, if he hadn't started quickly, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, I was afraid that it would be more than the scar on the back that hurts every rainy day. Treasure is like an insatiable desire in people's hearts, and few people can resist the temptation in it.

"The hour has come!"

Hearing such a voice in a trance, and suddenly hearing a commotion from all directions, Lin Daoqian came back to his senses. But I heard heavy footsteps behind me. Knowing that the executioner had been waiting impatiently, he couldn't help but chuckle when he remembered the feeling of stabbing a person with a sword, the feeling of someone else's head rolling to the ground, and the feeling of fire, gunsmoke, and countless shouts mixed together.

The low laughter made the executioner behind him stop for a moment, and then he realized his gaffe, and quickly picked up the wine bowl in his left hand and drank it all in one gulp, and then sprayed it on the Xueliang ghost head knife, cheering himself up in his heart. Even if you were a powerful person in the past, you will be in this Dharma field. Waiting for his ghost head knife, what else is there to be afraid of?

On the side of the street, there is a restaurant on the third floor of the box where you can watch every move of the execution ground. Chen Bingchang was standing in front of Xiuzhu with a nervous face, his arms slightly extended, as if he planned to pounce on Xiuzhu as soon as there was any abnormality, so even if the beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, he didn't have time to raise his hand to wipe it. No matter what movement came from the execution ground, he didn't turn his head sideways to take a look, for fear of missing any change in Xiuzhu's expression.

Suddenly, he saw Xiuzhu suddenly turn his head sideways, and then he stumbled and almost fell, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help. It was only at this time that he hurriedly glanced out of the window, and then was so frightened by the bloody scene that he quickly looked away, helped Xiuzhu to sit down on the chair, and asked repeatedly, "Does it matter?" If I feel unwell, should I get a doctor? Or do we hire a car to go back? ”

However, no matter what he called, Xiuzhu was always like a clay carved wood sculpture, so that Chen Bingchang was so anxious that even if there was still a person outside, he didn't dare to leave casually, so he could only stammer and comfort him. I don't know how long it took for him to hear a burst of laughter, but he saw that Xiuzhu had already raised her head, but her eyes were watery, and there were tears on her eyelashes.

"You've always been stupid."

Chen Bingchang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and it took a long time before he held back a sentence: "I'm stupid, I'm stupid, as long as you're good." ”

Xiuzhu looked at the stunned Chen Bingchang, thinking that he was a very capable secretary in the mouth of others, but he never showed his shrewd side in front of herself, she only felt happy and sad in her heart. She took a breath lightly and whispered: "I don't know if what Grandma told me is true, or what Lin Daoqian told me is true, I only know that Grandma has hated him all her life, and she wants to eat his flesh and drink his blood until she dies. Chen Bingchang, I know that Wang Ye is a good person, otherwise he would not have called you before. ”

"Yes, of course Brother Wang is a good person." Chen Bingchang didn't think about it, so he sent Wang Fulin a good person card, and then said as if he made up his mind, "So, don't say anything stupid like going to Dongfan." ”

"No, I'm still going. Don't interject, wait until I'm done! Xiuzhu interrupted Chen Bingchang, who was full of anxiety, and her tone slowed down suddenly, "I know you're good to me, I know you're ...... Like me, you are the first good person I met after leaving Luo Bangshan, and I like you too. However, you are different from me, I am a Yao person, you are a Han person, or a Xiucai. Even if I helped Wang Ye a lot this time, he also asked for a seal for me, and he is still a seven-grade woman, but it is still impossible for me to be with you. I owe you a favor, and I will try to pay it back to you in the future, but don't be stupid again, think of your big brother! ”

Chen Bingchang never expected to hear such words, and was stunned for a while, only to watch Xiuzhu gently brush the messy hair around his ear with his hand, and smile at him again.

"I stayed with Wang Ye's wife for a while, although she can also climb over the wall and martial arts, but she can still be generous in front of outsiders, saying those things that I will never learn. I can't be like her, and I don't have the confidence to let your big brother accept me. Moreover, if you really marry me, you will be admitted in the future. He even passed the Jinshi exam. People ask who your wife is. What about your family background, what do you say? Did you tell them that your wife was a Yao girl from Luopan Mountain, and she once pretended to be Lin Daoqian's daughter who had appeased pirates and made meritorious contributions, so she sealed a seven-rank widow? ”

Chen Bingchang only felt as if someone had knocked a stickon the door of his head, and he couldn't stand anymore all of a sudden, took a few steps back and sat down, and only said in despair for a long time: "I can do it." I can tell people your background generously, and I am not afraid of what others will say. Big brother, he is very reasonable, he will not dislike you......"

His voice became softer and softer, but it was because he could guarantee himself, but he could never vouch for his eldest brother. Moreover, when he thought of what kind of eyes the relatives on both sides of his dead father and mother would look at Xiuzhu when he returned to his hometown in the future, his heart suddenly tightened violently, and finally the ghost raised his head and said, "Then I can go to Dongfan with you!" ”

"Alright, stop saying such stupid things again. You are different from Du Xianggong, Du Xianggong doesn't want to continue the imperial examination. And he knows martial arts, and he once stayed among pirates, but what you learned in Lianxi Academy is useless when you go to Dongfan. You can't help others, and you'll become a liability. ”

Xiuzhu said ruthlessly to hit Chen Bingchang, and when she saw that he was struck by lightning, she said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "When I was a child, my grandmother told me many stories, among them, there are stories about people who love each other but can't be together. Let's make an appointment, how about seeing each other at Lianxi Academy in ten years? Maybe when you see me again, you'll find these old things ridiculous......"

"Say no more! Please don't talk about it......"

Chen Bingchang held his head vigorously, only to feel that his mind was a mess. Next, he hardly knew how he got back from this restaurant, nor did he know what others had said in his ears, let alone tell the time. For the next few days, he just ate and slept like a walking corpse.

I don't know how long it took, he suddenly felt a sudden coldness on his face, and the whole person was shivering, and he suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that Wang Fulin was standing in front of him with an empty bowl in one hand, and even kept splashing water. He shook his head vigorously, trying to figure out what had happened, but he didn't expect to hear something he hadn't expected at all.

"Alright, it's time to wake up from the dream. I had a lot of things to do before, and I called you over from Guangzhou, but I didn't expect Xiuzhu to be too thoughtful and stubborn, and you haven't experienced this kind of thing, and after being frustrated, you became like this. This morning, Xiuzhu and the others have already set off for Yuegang, the capital of Zhangzhou, to recruit manpower, procure supplies, and when the wind direction is right, they will sail from Yuegang to Dongfan. ”

Chen Bingchang jumped up suddenly, and no longer cared about the messy droplets of water dripping from his forehead. He stretched out his hand to grab something, but in the end, it was only one of Wang Fulin's sleeves that he grabbed. He squirmed his lips to ask, but in the end, his hands slipped limply and his head drooped. When he felt that his head was being patted, he suddenly asked angrily, "What month and day is today?" ”

"October 16." Wang Fulin replied, and seeing that Chen Bingchang seemed to be inhaling heavily, he opened his mouth and said, "If you still want to chase after Zhangzhou Mansion Yuegang, then it's up to you." ”

"No, I'm not going." Chen Bingchang laughed, but the laughter was worse than crying, "That day, she said everything she had to say, and so did I, and there was no result in chasing her." Brother Wang, Senior Xu is the only one in Guangzhou City, so he must be too busy, so I'll go back to Guangzhou. ”

Seeing Chen Bingchang wiping his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and then arching his hand, he strode out, Wang Fulin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Perhaps it was from this moment on, after experiencing the biggest blow in his life after the death of his parents, that this young Xiaoxiu grew up. Maybe looking back after ten or twenty years, Chen Bingchang will feel that the current heart-wrenching loveloss is very stupid, but he may feel that this is still an unforgettable experience, but who knows?

And Xiuzhu, who was once stubborn and sensitive but strong, chose to go to Dongfan, but not only avoided all this in Guangdong, but also planned to recruit some Yao people who left the mountains and forests to enter the city, but they were never able to integrate. She even begged Lu Guangwu to go with her, hoping to get rid of some boat gangs that abducted and sold women, and hoped that some lonely and helpless women would follow her across the sea to Dongfan, so as to make up for the situation that there were few women in Dongfan. Maybe when she thinks of this story in the future, she will never remember them again, only the boy who defended her wholeheartedly.

"It's time to go back."

Wang Fulin muttered to himself, and also got up and left the house.

When Wang Fulin toured the prefectures and counties all the way from Chaozhou Mansion and finally returned to Guangzhou, it was already November 20, just in time for the hurried handover of the Political Secretary. As soon as the official document of the Ministry of Officials came down, Zhang Tingfang, the political envoy of the left cloth, was transferred to the political envoy of the left cloth in Yunnan, and Chen Youjie, the political envoy of the right cloth, was transferred to the political envoy of the right cloth in Guizhou. Judging from the results alone, this seems to be just a very ordinary transfer, after all, the transfer between the political secretaries of the thirteen provinces has always been very frequent, but from Guangdong, which is the first in Tiannan, to Yunnan and Guizhou, as long as they are not too dull, they can perceive the obvious intention of moving to the left.

Therefore, there are very few officials and squires who send off the two political envoys, but the tea is cold before they leave. When the two former lords of the feudal clan went out of the gate, and saw their entourage and their entourage waiting outside, and the whole wide street was so bleak that there was no one in sight, only a mule cart, it was really a thousand feelings in my heart. Chen Youjie, who was a few years younger, couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart, and cursed fiercely: "I want to see how long Wang Fulin can be proud!" ”

Zhang Tingfang had no intention of talking about it, and casually asked an entourage beside him, "Zhou Tixue didn't come either?" ”

mentioned Zhou Kang, the deputy envoy of the school, Chen Youjie's face also darkened. Others tend to be inflammatory, ignoring the two political envoys who moved to the left, even if Zhou Kang will become a lonely great master of light pole learning, and dare not take them in his eyes? Suddenly, his eyes fell on the only mule cart on the street, but when the curtain opened, the man who came down made his pupils shrink sharply.

It turned out to be Wang Fulin! Could it be that he came to demonstrate on purpose?

"I'll send one to two feudal lords." Wang Fulin nodded with a smile, ignoring the iron-blue faces of the two, and said with a slight smile, "I can't stay in Guangzhou for a few days as a patrolman, and Ling Zhitai has already sent an order, so I will go to Lushui County in a few days to help allocate grain and ordnance." The two of them learned that Zhou Tixue had just resigned, and the deputy envoy was only afraid that he would have to send someone to act according to the judge, so he probably didn't have the mood to see the two off. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tingfang and Chen Youjie couldn't believe it. Why did the two of them move to the left, Zhang Siwei sent someone to send an urgent letter from the central government, saying that they had reversed black and white before, and Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, told them in front of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, although it was not Wang Fulin's handwriting, they couldn't help but count this account on Wang Fulin's head. But they never expected that Zhou Congwen, who seemed to be Zhang Dang, would also fall, but they hated that they didn't even know how Zhou Congwen fell!

"Wang Fulin, don't be too complacent!"

In the face of Chen Youjie's fierce response, Wang Fulin shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "Do not do to others what you do not want, I never thought about recruiting anyone to provoke anyone, it is just that someone has to get along with me." The two of you go well, the mountain is high and the road is far away, I will not be far away! ”

Seeing that Wang Fu Lin Lishu was very thoughtful and deeply rooted, and then walked towards the mule cart without looking back, Zhang Tingfang saw that Chen Youjie's face turned red with anger, and suddenly regretted his previous targeting.

In the entire Guangdong officialdom, except for him and Chen Youjie, plus Zhou Kang, the deputy envoy for education, most of the other officials have shared a lot of benefits provided by Wang Fulin, and there is even Xiangshan County Ling Gu Jing, who has a low rank, but his name suddenly reaches the heavens. Knowing this, why didn't he disobey Zhang Siwei's orders, how could he end up today?

Wang Fulin did not return to the procuratorate, but according to the letter sent by Xiaobei, he went to her new residence. After entering the door, he saw his wife's smiling face, and saw her gently rubbing her lower abdomen with her hand, which was still not bulging, and he only felt that his heart was overflowing with tenderness and joy.

He's really going to be a father!
