Chapter Forty-Eight: The Day of the Big Exam
June 21 is the day of the Guoshu County Examination in each county in Pingxi County.
On this day, Yan Liqiang was still awakened by the powerful biological clock early, after habitually practicing the Yijin Washing Pulp Sutra, he washed up carefully, put on a clean and refreshing practice clothes, and after eating a hearty breakfast, he said goodbye to Yan Dechang and others, led the rhino dragon horse at home, accompanied by a Lu family guard, and went out to prepare to go to the Qinghe County Guoshu Museum to participate in the Guoshu County Examination.
Yan Dechang, Lu Wenbin, Zhou Tiezhu, Zhou Hongda and his wife, as well as Wu's mother and another guard of the Lu family, all walked out of the courtyard and sent Yan Liqiang to the road outside.
"Dad, Steward Lu, Mother Wu, a few eldest brothers and sister-in-law Zhou, please stay, this county is not far from here, there is no need to be so grand!" Yan Liqiang smiled and asked everyone not to send it again.
"Then I would like to wish Yan Gongzi success today and become famous in Qinghe County!" Lu Wenbin bowed his hand to Yan Liqiang with a smile on his face.
"Ah, then thank you Steward Lu Jiyan!"
Yan Dechang looked at Yan Liqiang with a complicated gaze that was both expectant and worried, "This is the first time you have participated in the Guoshu County Examination, just do your best this year, don't be reluctant, if the opponent is too strong, don't fight hard, it's really not good, don't be reluctant, it's the same next year!"
"Dad, don't worry, I know, if it really doesn't work, I won't let myself get hurt!"
Hearing Yan Liqiang say this, Yan Dechang was finally relieved, and waved his hand at Yan Liqiang, "Go, go......"
Yan Liqiang nodded, arched his hand to everyone, and then quickly turned over the rhinosaurus horse, shook the reins lightly, and walked towards the outside of the town.
Guo Shanfeng has been dead for six days, but Yan Liqiang can't tell anyone this secret, and because of what happened to the Hong family, the Lu family is worried that Guo Shanfeng will come to find trouble with the Yan family, so the Lu steward and guards sent to the Yan family not only did not withdraw, but on the contrary, on the second day of the incident in the Hong family, the Lu family sent two more guards, and the two newly sent guards had a calm breath, bright eyes, and were carrying bows and quivers on their bodies, and they were good at using arrows.
Yan Liqiang naturally couldn't say anything about this, he couldn't tell the Lu family that there was no need to worry about it, the mountain wind had already bury himself.
In the past few days, batches of tortures and official errands have come to Liuhe Town, all of whom have come to investigate the affairs of the Hong family and chase after the mountain wind by the way.
What Guo Feng did in the Hong family that night, dozens of Hong family guards saw it, as a witness, coupled with Yan Liqiang's "confession" that night, this Hong family's bloody case, ironclad evidence, naturally counted on the head of Guo Feng Feng.
Something happened to the Hong family, and the whole Liuhe Town was panicked in the past few days, and at night, the doors of every house were closed, and there were even a lot fewer people who went out at night.
When Yan Liqiang rode a rhinosaurus horse through the central square of Liuhe Town, he saw Hong Tao again.
In just a few days, Yan Liqiang almost couldn't recognize Hong Tao's appearance.
Hong Tao was disheveled, and the clothes he was wearing were still the same as those of that night, but they were already filthy and somewhat damaged, and he was barefoot, his eyes were sloppy and demented in the square in the center of the town, crying, laughing, and talking to himself at once, but he was already crazy.
"I am already the most powerful warrior in Pingxi County of the Han Empire, and I am about to advance to the rank of martial artist, add officials to the knighthood, and the grand plan is just around the corner, the entire Liuhe Town belongs to our Hong family, and the entire Qinghe County is also our Hong family, no one can take it away, you two, why don't you get off your horse and bow down when you see me......
Seeing Yan Liqiang and the guard of the Lu family coming over on a rhinosaurus horse, Hong Tao sat on the ground in the square, tilted his head, pointed at Yan Liqiang and said in a loud voice.
Yan Liqiang shook his head and sighed in his heart.
That night, he found that Hong Tao was already wrong, so he didn't kill him, he thought that if Hong Tao could survive, then he would completely crush Hong Tao's hope of advancing to the rank of warrior in today's ring, but Yan Liqiang didn't expect that after witnessing the killing that night, Hong Tao's spirit was greatly stimulated and he actually went crazy.
Perhaps, not everyone can have such strong nerves that they can witness their loved ones die in front of them and forget all about it in the blink of an eye without leaving any psychological problems.
Looking at Hong Tao in front of him, Yan Liqiang's heart flashed a trace of unbearability, but thinking of what the Hong family had done and those vicious calculations, the trace of unbearability in his heart was thrown out of the clouds by him in the blink of an eye.
All of this is the Hong family's own effort, think about it from another angle, if he hadn't relived once and hadn't cultivated the Yijin Cleansing Sutra, at this moment, the Liuhe Town family would be ruined, I'm afraid it would be their Yan family, and he himself would probably not be better than the current Hong Tao.
The so-called don't do to others as you would have them do unto you, the saliva you spit out may sometimes fly to your own face, and the Hong family may never have thought that what they wanted to impose on others would end up falling on themselves.
In less than a week, the Hong family, which used to be the only one in Liuhe Town, has disappeared.
That night's fire only burned a piece of the Hong family's firewood room and the kitchen next to the firewood room was extinguished, the fire did not kill anyone, but the Hong family's people who could be in charge died that night, especially the next day after someone found Hong An's body in the forest under Baizhang Mountain, the next night, there were Hong family's stewards and concubines who fled with the Hong family's wealth.
The first seven days of the Hong family have not passed and they have not yet been buried, and several of Hong Tao's uncompetitive cousins have already fought for the Hong family's property, and the family is in trouble.
Hong Chengshou's two daughters and husband's family also took the opportunity to come back to the funeral, and were involved in the competition for the Hong family's property.
Such a Hong family has long been nothing to worry about.
In the notice booth in the town square, there are dozens of brand-new portrait wanted notices, compared with the previous ones, this time the portrait of the mountain wind issued by the Qinghe County Arrest Yamen is no longer like the self-portrait drawn by Van Gogh with a brush, it is much clearer, at least the triangular eyes of the mountain wind and the black mole on the left cheek are more prominent.
Hong Ding is the pavilion chief of Liuhe Town, and he is the most basic official, Hong Rong is also the person who arrested the Yamen in Qinghe County, and he is a small official, these two people are people who are involved with the public family, and their lives are naturally more precious.
One last glance at Hong Tao, Yan Liqiang's belief was re-strengthened, and with a flick of his reins, the rhinosaurus horse trotted out of town.
Yan Liqiang rode a rhinosaurus horse and just left Liuhe Town less than a mile away, when he met three people who rode rhinosaurus horses to Liuhe Town, two of the three people had a sideways face, not like a kind person, only one was thinner, like a bookkeeper, and the two sides took a look on the road.
"May I ask this son, is it Liuhe Town in front?" When the two sides were about to ride the rhinosaurus horse and staggered past, the person who looked like the bookkeeper suddenly slowed down a little, his eyes glanced at Yan Liqiang and the Lu family's guards, and a smile appeared on his face, and he asked politely.
"Yes, it's Liuhe Town ahead!" Yan Liqiang nodded.
"I don't know where the Hong family is in Liuhe Town?" a man with a meaty face next to him interjected a little eagerly.
"I don't know what the Hong family is looking for?"
The man like Mr. Bookkeeper smiled again, "Well, that's it, Hong An of the Hong family owes us money, I heard that he died, we came to the Hong family to ask for an account......"
"The Hong family is a big family in Liuhe Town, as long as you get to the town, just ask someone to know......"
"Thank you!"
The two sides staggered on the road, and after walking a hundred meters, Yan Liqiang glanced back, the back of the three people riding rhinosaurus horses towards Liuhe Town, making Yan Liqiang feel like seeing a few vultures that smelled death, flapping their wings and rushing towards the fallen prey.
The Hong family is now only a bunch of orphans and widows, the people who can manage the affairs of the Hong family are dead, the reputation of the Hong family is rotten, there is no backer, if someone gets an IOU or something, there is no proof of death, this can be fought for, to pull, and have the qualification to meddle in the division of the Hong family's property.
Yan Liqiang had seen such a thing in his previous life, and this routine was not much different from what he had seen in his previous life......
But that's none of my business......
Riding a rhinosaurus horse, after a while, he came to Qinghe County, the gate of the county seat, there was also a wanted notice for the mountain wind, and the sergeants guarding the gate of the city were scanning the faces of the people entering the city one by one, wearing hats and hats, to take them off, and those who sat on the car had to get off.
Outside the Guoshu Museum, it was already crowded......
