Chapter 176: The Heart Is Like Stopping Water

Whether it's regret or sadness, the situation in front of you has to be cleaned up. After being silent for a long time, Zhang Weixin sighed helplessly, and while directing his guards to collect the bodies of Fan Wucheng and Liu Yunyan, and carry them to another carriage to put them away; While boarding the carriage in which Fan Wucheng and his wife were riding before, he patiently comforted Fan Wenxuan, who was crying, so as not to cry out something wrong with the little guy. In the end, after spending a lot of effort and using all the tricks he used to coax his children, he finally let the little guy be born and stop crying.

Fan Wenxuan was appeased here, and the bodies of Fan Wucheng and his wife were also loaded into the carriage, Zhang Weixin looked at the little guy with tears on his face, who was tired from crying at this time, and gently wiped his little face with his sleeves, while ordering the handlebar to turn the head of the car and return to Beiping City - when the team passed by the place where Yang Xiaolian died, it was already empty, and he thought that after Gao Jun came back from killing Fan Wucheng angrily, he left here with his subordinates.

Since it was already the end of the afternoon, it was obviously impossible to rush back to Beiping City, which was dozens of miles away, before dark. Therefore, Zhang Weixin and Xu Shaoan decided that Liang Ziyue would rush back to Beiping City overnight with a few agents from the personal guard and intelligence department to report the situation to Wang Kunjun and others, while the others would rest overnight in Qiupo Village and continue their journey tomorrow.

After entering Qiupo Village, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shao'an, and others took some of their guards and detectives to live in the house that Fan Wucheng had purchased in the village, while the rest of the entourage were scattered throughout the village and spent the night in the homes of other villagers who had vacant houses to live in. After everyone settled down, Zhang Weixin instructed his subordinates to find women in the village who were the same age as Fan Wenxuan or who had rich experience in child-rearing to help him take care of the little one. At the same time, he ordered someone to find two coffins from the village to bury the remains of Fan Wucheng and his wife. At the same time, Xu Shaoan personally took people around the village, hoping to meet Gao Jun, who might stay in the village, so that he could appease and comfort this old brother. However, to Xu Shao'an's disappointment, he only found a personal guard who Gao Jun stayed here to be responsible for liaising with them, and Gao Jun and other entourages did not stay in the village, but took Yang Xiaolian's body and rushed to Huiju Temple (Jietai Temple) not far from the village to stay.

Although they didn't see Gao Jun, being able to know his whereabouts still made Xu Shaoan and Zhang Wei feel a lot more confident. The two of them discussed it for a while, and felt that it was not a good thing for Gao Jun to calm down and adjust his emotions in a quiet place like Huiju Temple (Jietai Temple). Therefore, the two brothers finally decided not to disturb the old brother, and everything would be planned after returning to Beiping City.

Early the next morning, the group returned to the road and did not arrive at Beiping City until the afternoon of the same day. Entering the city, the convoy split into two roads. All the way, under the leadership of Xu Shao'an, he pulled the remains of Fan Wucheng and his wife to Fan Mansion for temporary parking; On the other hand, he went straight to Jiedu Mansion with Zhang Weixin, so that together with Liang Ziyue, who had rushed back to the city in the early hours of this morning, he would report the details of Fan Wucheng's departure and death to Wang Kunjun, Li Junwu, and those brothers who had been invited to attend the quasi-plenary meeting.

Although the facts of Fan Wucheng's betrayal of the team, his betrayal of his brothers, and his collusion with the "Feiyantang" are clear and the evidence is conclusive, and although Fan Wucheng fled this time to escape the possible punishment of the crossing team, and it was he who first shot Gao Jun and his entourage and killed Yang Xiaolian, it is still a pity to see that the brother who had lived and died with him for nearly eight years and had made considerable contributions to the development and growth of the crossing team died like this. As for Gao Jun, although the participants sympathized with his misfortune and understood his subsequent excesses, the majority of the participants still believed that Gao Jun's actions violated team spirit and rules and regulations, except for a small number of people who believed that what he did was reasonable and that he should not be held responsible. Especially when Fan Wucheng had been surrounded by Xu Shaoan and Liang Ziyue and had no possibility of escaping, Gao Jun still shot him to death, and most of the brothers at the meeting still had some complaints - in their opinion, although Fan Wucheng made a serious mistake before leaving, and he shot Yang Xiaolian by mistake on the way out, which is indeed a serious crime, but how to punish and convict him should still be decided by the general meeting of the crossing team, and not lynching. After all, as an organized and disciplined team, everyone still has to follow the rules and execute according to the rules. Otherwise, everyone will do whatever they want, and it won't be long before the whole team will be completely disorganized. Therefore, the handling of Gao Jun is still inevitable.

Of course, considering that Gao Jun's behavior was for a reason and extenuating circumstances, under Wang Kunjun's proposal, the final agreement with the brothers of the congregation was reached. The meeting decided to remove Gao Jun from all his posts in the Beiping Army, to think about it behind closed doors at home from now on, and to make further arrangements and handle matters in accordance with the actual situation after the southbound operation is completed and the "Jianye No. 1 Operation Jihua" is successfully completed.

Regarding this decision of the quasi-plenary meeting, Gao Jun, who had only returned to Beiping City in the evening of the next day, did not have any argument or any drastic action, but accepted it calmly and without objection. He not only handed over his seal letter and official robe, which he was a general judge of Beiping Prefecture, but also handed over the "59-style" pistol that had been issued to him for self-defense. Gao Jun handed over the pistol, which also expressed his intention of not leaving the house from the side. Not only that, since he returned to his house on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the eighth year of Xiande and built a mourning hall for Yang Xiaolian, Gao Jun really never left the mansion again, but has been accompanying his beloved wife in the mourning hall. However, unlike when Fan Wucheng was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, he didn't see anyone except his die-hard supporter, his old brother Gao Jun. Gao Jun did not exclude the brothers who cared for and loved him to visit him and give Yang Xiaolian a pillar of incense, and treated all the brothers, relatives and friends who came to visit him and worship Yang Xiaolian. It's just that all the visitors who have visited or worshiped in Gaofu during this period have the same feeling after leaving Gaofu, that is, Gao Jun has changed. The previous Gao Jun who loves to talk and laugh, has a straightforward personality, and is sunny Xiangshang, and is replaced by a taciturn, unangry, and heart-stopping Gao Jun. Or according to the words of Zhang Weixin, who visited Gao Jun, after Yang Xiaolian's unfortunate death, the heart of the old brother Gao Jun has died. If he can't be channeled and resolved in time, I'm afraid that he will sink and there is no possibility of regaining his strength.

In this regard, although several members of the committee and those who cared about Gao Jun were anxious, everyone also understood that this kind of thing could only be done slowly, and it could not be done overnight. Now, all the brothers can do is to visit this old brother often, communicate more, communicate more, enlighten more, and comfort him more, hoping that time can dilute the impact and impact of this incident on his heart, and one day the cheerful, straightforward, and sunny old brother can reappear in front of everyone.
