231 Father and daughter meet
A girl about seven or eight years old in a lilac dress came running quickly.
"Yun'er!"
Qiu Huaizhi, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to stand up, but was restrained to death by the officers and soldiers.
Seeing the girl running rampantly, the officers and soldiers raised their spears to stop them, but they took them back at Nan Wensheng's signal.
"Daddy!"
The girl knelt in front of Qiu Huaizhi, crying and hugging her father's shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, an elderly couple and a woman led a boy and walked quickly.
"Dad, mother...... It's great that you're all okay. Qiu Huaizhi had tears in his eyes, and his tone was glad.
"It was a gentleman surnamed Zhang who took the risk to save us from Wu Huaimin." The young woman said with tears streaming down her face.
Qiu Huaizhi nodded.
Such a great favor, he should have repaid it generously, but now that he has made a big mistake, he obviously has no chance.
I can only wait for the next life to repay this kindness.
Before he died, he was content to see that his family was safe and sound.
Today, he has only one request.
Qiu Huaizhi faced Nan Wensheng, and said in a trembling tone and sincerely: "The lower official pleaded guilty-"
He confessed to the resale of food for disaster relief.
In addition, he did not hesitate to confess Wu Huaimin, from the beginning when Wu Huaimin sent people to invite their three county magistrates to the government to discuss the matter, and then to every charge after that, he explained it clearly.
He remembered this very well because for every time he sold a quantity of grain, his conscience was condemned countless times.
Nan Wensheng asked someone to take a pen and paper and asked him to draw a pen.
"At first, when Wu Huaimin found Xia Guan, Xia Guan did not agree to this matter, and he also thought of taking the risk of reporting it to the governor, but Wu Huaimin kidnapped my family and threatened ...... in every possible way" After drawing the detention, Qiu Huaizhi begged: "Xia Guan's crime is not forgiven, and it is not enough to atone for it with a thousand cuts, but Xia Guan's family does not know anything about this matter......
Nan Wensheng suddenly raised his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say more.
Nan Wensheng frowned and said: "This matter is detailed, this official will prepare a presentation to the imperial court, as for how to sentence, I believe the imperial court will deal with it at its discretion." ”
Qiu Huaizhi kowtowed deeply with red eyes.
"Thank you, sir."
There was a lot of scolding in the crowd.
"Your family's life is fate, do we deserve to be ruined!"
“……”
But in the next moment, these scoldings stopped abruptly, and were replaced by screams.
Qiu Huaizhi committed suicide.
Taking advantage of the fact that he had just finished drawing the charge and the officers and soldiers who were guarding him relaxed their guards, he stood up abruptly and crashed into the spear in the hands of the officers and soldiers beside him-
The spearhead pierced his abdomen, blood gushing out.
The Qiu family cried out loud.
At this time, the crowd had different expressions, some people lowered their heads and were silent, some people were still scolding themselves for taking the blame, and some people sighed in a low voice.
"Qiu County Ling is also a good official in the future."
"When we rushed to the county office, we didn't find a tael of silver, a mouthful of grain, and the people in the county government were almost all scattered......"
"In the end, it was Wu Huaimin who harmed people...... Even if there is no Qiu County order, if you are someone else, you may not be able to stand alone. ”
Sighs abounded.
Qi Ming and Fu Yong had no blood on their faces.
The matter has come to this point, with Qiu Huaizhi's confession and the testimony of the Qiu family who escaped from the government, Wu Huaimin is in a catastrophe this time.
Wu Huaimin himself is difficult to protect, no matter how much they deny it, it is meaningless.
Their expressions gradually turned gray, and they both confessed their sins.
Nan Wensheng immediately ordered someone to go to the government to arrest Wu Huaimin.
In addition, emergency matters such as the resettlement of the victims and the construction of porridge sheds were first arranged.
The victims were led by officials to disperse one after another, and Lao Qiu and his party came to thank Zhang Meishou and Zhu Youzhu repeatedly.
Listening to their shouts of a little fairy, they also had to set up an immortal tablet for the little fairy and the little fairy, and even more so what fairy temple to build, saying that the little fairy would be worshiped and blessed by the incense of the people of Huzhou, and it would be famous for a hundred years, Zhang Jing and the shopkeeper Qiu were dumbfounded.
Shopkeeper Qiu was shocked, why did the little boy suddenly become a little girl, and why did the little girl become a little fairy inexplicably?
What happened in the Rain Mist Temple, he didn't have time to inquire about it.
Looking at the admiring and grateful eyes of the victims, Zhang Jing could only sigh in his heart.
is also to stop the riot and contribute, he was born and died in the county government of Liuhuang County, full of schemes, why no one thought of building a temple for him to erect an immortal tablet?
As a scholar, he also wants to live forever.
Knowing this, he should have followed Zhen Zhen up the mountain together.
Hey, no, with his old face, what can he pretend to be even if he goes up the mountain? At best, it's just a passer-by next to the little fairy and the little fairy.
Looking at the little niece and the son of the Zhu family who were surrounded by everyone, the more Zhang Jing looked at it, the more he felt that it was a problem with his face.
Nowadays, a sentence of grace is easy to get, but you can build a temple or something - it has to be good-looking.
He looked at the shopkeeper Qiu, who was also forgotten and had a blue nose and swollen face, and suddenly felt a lot of balance in his heart.
"......" Shopkeeper Qiu was inexplicably looked at by him.
Although they had the heart to admire the fairy and fairy child, for the victims who had been hungry for many days, it was the most important thing to rush to the soup kitchen at the moment, so they didn't stay long before everyone left one after another.
Zhang Meishou and his party were still standing in place.
"Why haven't you seen Master Zhang come back?" Shopkeeper Qiu asked.
Qiu Huaizhi's family members were obviously rescued by Zhang Luan, and it is understandable that the Qiu family was sent over out of urgency, but when Zhang Luan's shadow is still missing, everyone can't help but be a little worried.
Will it be caught up by Wu Huaimin's people?
"Don't worry, it's going to be delayed." Zhu Youzhu said loudly.
With Lu Qianhu here, he will never travel to the pool.
What's more, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he sent Qing Yu to answer it.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Meishou inexplicably settled down a little in his heart.
"Second brother may have followed the entourage sent by Zhu Gongzi and went directly to the inn where we stayed before." Zhang Jing said guessingly.
Zhang Meishou felt that it was possible.
At this time, a green cloth carriage suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
Before the carriage stopped, the driver jumped directly from the seat and looked in the direction of Zhang Meishou and the others.
Looking at the man with a beard, muddy, and no longer any kind of elegance, Zhang Jing, who was also disheveled and unrecognizable, hesitated for a moment before shouting in surprise: "Second brother?!"
As he spoke, he strode over.
Although he had already known the news that the second brother was still alive, the excitement in his heart was still indescribable when he saw the real person now.
Zhang Luan also strode over, and opened his arms with a smile.
Zhang Jing was so moved that he was about to have a long-lost reunion with his second brother with red eyes.
I don't know why, the second brother didn't stop when he passed in front of him?
That's it, but I still think he's in the way, so what's the matter with reaching out and leaving him to the side without saying a word!
