Chapter 18: An Unexpected Surprise

Tang Jiang continued to tell me the story of him and Yuan Chonghuan and his wife.

"You don't know how miserable Yuan Chonghuan died! He was sentenced to death by Emperor Chongzhen for Ling Chi, and it was originally stipulated that 3,600 knives should be cut, but after being cut 3,588 knives, Yuan Chonghuan died. The executioner in charge of the execution was also given a rod on one occasion. The common people were bewitched by the imperial court, believing that Yuan Chonghuan colluded with the Qing soldiers, and he brought in the Qing soldiers, causing them to suffer misery. So, those people rushed up one after another, frantically grabbing Yuan Chonghuan's meat to eat! ”

My heart couldn't help but pound, and I thought about what a crazy scene it was!

I looked at Tang Jiang and asked, "Yuan Chonghuan was sent to the prison, and you and your junior sister are both martial arts students, so didn't you find a way to save him?" ”

"Why didn't you figure it out?" Tang Jiang said, "We have exhausted all methods, and we have gone all the way." Helplessly, this time it was the emperor's personal decree, and Emperor Chongzhen insisted on going his own way, saying that he would put Yuan Chonghuan to death, so what else could he do? In the end, we had to forcibly rob the prison. ”

I said, "You died in that robbery?" Being able to die with my little sister to save her beloved, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death, right? ”

Tang Jiang said: "None of us died that time. In fact, we were in prison together, ready to escape with Yuan Chonghuan. Who knew that guy was brainless and refused to leave. He said that he was upright, for the country and the people, if he fled in fear of crime like this, then his crime would be implemented, how would he face his ancestors in the future? It violated his own principles of being a man, and he said a lot of nonsense like this. also said that what is his own merits and demerits, future generations will naturally have a public opinion, he just needs to do what he thinks is right. ”

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and I didn't know what to say for a while. If you want to say that Yuan Chonghuan is dead-headed, people's loyalty is really impeccable; I want to praise him for doing a good job, and I feel that a person dies like this, after all, it is not cost-effective. Descendants naturally have a public opinion? Pull it down, history is written by successful people, and the truth of the facts is only known to a few. It's so hard and hard to get a fair judgment.

"What happened then? Collaborating with the enemy and treason was a big crime at that time, so you should quickly escape with your little sister. I said.

Tang Jiang said: "I thought the same way at the time. However, the little sister refused to leave anything, and said that she would live and die with her husband. Later, Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to death by Ling Chi, and his family was sentenced to exile in Qiandi. ”

I said again: "Then your little sister must have committed suicide, and you will commit suicide with your little sister." ”

Tang Jiang sighed and said, "Little Senior Sister did think so, and I originally planned to do so. However, before she died, the little sister suddenly found out that she was pregnant. That is the bloodline left to her by the little junior sister's husband, how can the little junior sister give up? So, the little junior sister decided to endure the humiliation and steal her life, and was exiled to Qiandi with her family. ”

I was embarrassed and said, "It's rare for a hero to end well." Yuan Chonghuan died so tragically, being able to leave a little bloodline can be regarded as a little compensation. ”

Tang Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "However, the little junior sister gave birth to a girl, and Yuan Chonghuan still broke the incense." It would be nice if he could give birth to a man and avenge his father, as it is written. The little junior sister was also unable to give birth to a boy for her husband because she was not angry, so she was finally depressed and finally depressed. ”

I sighed. These thoughts of the ancients are sometimes really incomprehensible. However, as far as Yuan Chonghuan's loyalty, Huang Xiaoyue's martyrdom, and Tang Jiang's infatuation are concerned, these feelings are indeed rare and worthy of admiration.

The story was already over at this point, so I casually asked, "What about those people exiled by the Yuan family?" There shouldn't be any descendants left now, right? ”

Who knew that Tang Jiang said: "The lord guessed wrong, those exiled people still have descendants living here." ”

"What you said is true?" I wasn't surprised.

Tang Jiang said: "That place is called Ziru Village, and there are more than 200 families in the village, all of whom are descendants of Yuan Chonghuan's family exiled here. ”

I said, "If you have a chance, you should really go to that Ziru Village and remember the heroes of your predecessors." ”

"It's not a very easy place to walk." Tang Jiang said, "The car can only go to the town, and it takes more than four hours to walk from the town to the village." The people there have always followed the ancestral precepts, and their descendants are not allowed to go out of the mountains casually and reveal their identities. It's the 21st century now, but the villagers there are living a slash-and-burn life, completely out of touch with the outside. I told you that not only is there no electricity, there is no traffic, but the people there don't recognize the current simplified characters. ”

Damn, there is still a place like this?

I smiled and said, "In your eyes, I seem to be the kind of person who can't endure hardship." I'll tell you, I've been to even the most remote places. ”

I'm talking about Wang Jiaqi's Shangtang Village, as well as Yuanbao Village, where Master asked the heavens, and I don't believe that there are more remote places than this.

Suddenly, my heart moved, and I remembered something.

The little girl at home, Wang Yan, seems to have said that her home is not only remote, but also very backward. No one in their place is allowed to come out to work, and she herself secretly escaped.

What Wang Yan and Tang Jiang are talking about, will it be a place?

I was about to call Wang Yan in to ask what was going on, but I saw Tang Jiang smile and said, "There is another thing that the lord may not have imagined, how could we choose that place to settle down at that time?" ”

I asked curiously, "Why?" Could it be that there is a treasure in that place? ”

"Not really," Tang Jiang said, "because not far from there, there is a village called Yuanbao Village......

I couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't that the village where Master asked the heavens?

"What's wrong with Yuanbao Village?" I asked hurriedly.

Tang Jiang said with a smile: "That place looks no different from other backward villages, one is poor, the other is quiet, and their rules are the same as those of our free village." In fact, it is also a group of displaced people from my Ming Dynasty. ”

"A group of exiles from the Ming Dynasty?" I was even more amazed, "What does that mean?" ”

Tang Jiang said: "Do you know Emperor Jianwen, my lord? ”

"Of course I do." I hurriedly said, "Then does Emperor Jianwen have anything to do with Yuanbao Village?" ”

Tang Jiang said: "Of course, it has a lot to do with it. It is said that the Yongle Emperor raised troops from Nanjing and overthrew the rule of the Jianwen Emperor. However, Emperor Jianwen did not die, and fled to this remote place under the escort of a team of loyal guards. After arriving at Yuanbao Village, seeing that the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, the pursuers of the Yongle Emperor should not be able to find it. So, they settled down in that place and have lived there ever since. It's just that they are not prosperous, and there are only a dozen or twenty families now. Also, when they first came, in order to hide people's eyes, all of them changed their names and surnames, and all of them changed their surnames to 'Guo'. It is the "country" of the "country", which means that the emperor and the country are not forgotten. ”

I was speechless in amazement.

It turns out that Yuanbao Village still has such a history! Last time I came and went in a hurry, I didn't even get to know the legends of the village.

If this legend is true, then will Mr. Kobayashi have anything to do with this Yuanbao Village?

If Mr. Kobayashi has something to do with this Yuanbao Village, then is this Yuanbao Village where Mr. Kobayashi's secret base is located?

If this Yuanbao Village was where Mr. Kobayashi's secret base was located, would he have hidden Emperor Jianwen's body and soul in that vicinity?

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and my heart almost jumped out of my mouth.

This is really called "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it"!

But wait a minute, only the master in that Yuanbao Village asked the sky if a person was not surnamed Guo, so why was he in that place?

Also, the relationship between Xiang Tianwen and Emperor Xudu is obviously very unusual, and it was Emperor Xudu who asked me to learn art from this Xiang Tianwen in the first place. So, will the Emperor also know the legend of Yuanbao Village?

I suddenly felt more and more confused.
