Chapter 3: Guan Ming's Death
When Zhou Yu heard Ma Yao ask, the tears that had been stopped flowed out involuntarily. At the moment, he told the truth of the matter in detail.
It turned out that since this Guan Ming left Ma Yao, he was still traveling on the roads of the rivers and lakes, but this trip brought one person with him, who was his sister. This Guan Ming's parents died, and he depended on his sister, whose sister was named Guan Mingyue. This Guan Ming went out to travel, and he didn't feel at ease when he left his sister alone at home, so he took his sister to travel together.
Once traveled to a town in Wu County, Jiangnan Province, there was a big landowner in this town named Wu Qige, this Wu Qige was in his early forties, usually carrying cages and birds, relying on the 100 acres of fields left by his parents to live a leisurely life.
Just when Guan Ming arrived in Wuqige Town, a plague broke out in Wu County, and this plague was not aimed at people, but for livestock. All of a sudden, every household died of pigs, cows and sheep. This small family only has one or two livestock, and the loss is also lost.
But there are more livestock in this landlord's house, and this is a big piece, which is inevitably distressing. Although this Wu Qige usually has no great good, there is no great evil. Looking at the death of cattle and sheep in his family every day, he couldn't help but feel anxious. When he was at a loss, Guan Ming arrived in the town, under the sign of exorcism and evil spirits. happened to be seen by Wu Qige.
Wu Qige thought to himself, did he have some evil spirit in his family, so he recruited Guan Ming to come in and do it.
This Guan Ming has been traveling in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of various personnel, and this medical skill is also a little familiar. You know it's a plague when you look at it. So he pretended to do it several times, and then prescribed a few prescriptions for all the animals.
This stopped the death of the animals. At the same time, it happened that the wind and rain were good that year, and the harvest in the field was quite good. This Wu Qige regarded Guan Ming as a god. So he promised Guan Ming countless benefits, and left Guan Ming in the mansion as a master.
This Guan Ming ended his wandering life, of course, Guan Mingyue also stayed in the Wu Mansion with his brother, after a long time, this Wu Qige moved his mind to Guan Mingyue, although this Wu Qige is more than forty, but he has the ability to stay in the face, and he looks like he is only in his twenties.
And looks Sven, this Guan Mingyue is also more satisfied. At this moment, Guan Mingyue married Wu Qige and became Wu Qige's eldest wife. At this time, the relationship between Wu Qige and Guan Ming was even more iron, and almost all the affairs of the Wu family were handed over to Guan Ming.
This Wu family occupies the most fertile land in Wu County, and some people have long been jealous, and the landlord of a family surnamed Wang in the next town has long coveted Wu Qige's land, and he does not have enough strength to annex it. But God seems to favor him, and his daughter is married to the local mayor.
With the protection of the mayor, he began to purchase his own armed forces, and suddenly became a local powerhouse. Now the opportunity has finally come.
The old man of the Wang family was old and was about to run out of breath, so the Wang family discussed with Wu Qige, saying that Mr. Feng Shui looked at a piece of land in the Wu family and wanted to bury his old father in this Wu Qige's land. Although Wu Qige is usually more cowardly, he also knows that this is obvious blackmail, but the other party is too powerful to compete. After thinking about it, I agreed.
But the burial ground that the Wang family wanted was in the middle of the Wu family's field, and as soon as Wu Qige agreed, he sent a surveyed man to start building a road, saying that it was convenient to sweep the tomb in the future.
I discussed with Guan Ming, this Guan Ming has some insight in going south and north. He came up with an idea for Wu Qige to donate Wu Qige's land to a local warlord, who was called Lian Tianzhan and was a militant who was often short of money. This Guan Ming donated the land to this warlord and put forward a condition that the commander of Lian would arrange for him to become a county magistrate in Wu County.
This even the marshal saw that there was such a good thing, and the county magistrate and the town mayor were worthless in the eyes of the marshal. But the land is a real benefit. So the deal was immediately closed.
In this way, Wu Qige's family and Guan Ming went to the county government of Wu County to take office. Originally, Wu Qige was still a little lost like a defeated rooster, but when he arrived at the gate of Wu County's ya, he saw Zhou Yu, the director of the county police station, and Tu Man, the head of the security team, leading the staff of the county government to go out to greet him, and he was a little comforted.
When he arrived at the county office, Guan Ming suddenly had a place to use, and all the shops along the street around the county government were recovered, and the county government managed them in a unified manner, and rebuilt a new street. It didn't take long for the situation to open up in the county office, and this financial resource was rolling in again. Wu Qige himself does not have this talent, and he is more lustful. Once went to the police commissioner Zhou Yu's house to drink, and found that Zhou Yu's sister was more beautiful, so she went to Zhou Yu's house every day to drink.
This week, Yu Menqing, seeing that the county master must have taken a fancy to his sister. This Zhou Yu's sister is called Zhou Panpan, originally married to a local chaebol family, who knew that this chaebol would become bigger, so he wanted to climb higher and took refuge in a warlord at that time.
This husband's family originally wanted to use the money to ransom Zhou Panpan's husband back, but who knows, the warlord who fought with them won on their side and lost elsewhere, and as soon as this temper came up, all the captives clicked. This week, Panpan became a widow.
Zhou Yu discussed with his sister whether he was willing to marry Wu Qige as a child. Panpan didn't have any opinions this week, and saw that Wu Qige was handsome and a county master, so he agreed. Since the county magistrate Wu opened the concubine mode, this hair has been out of control, and nine aunts have been accepted in just one year. Among them, there are women from good families, artists who go to the flower house to play and bring back, and there are singing actors.
After the county magistrate Wu took a concubine, he played in the room almost every day, without leaving the house, which was handed over to Guan Ming externally, Zhou Yu internally, and Tu Man for security. Suddenly, one day, a man died in this yamen. The dead man had something to do with a well.
This county government originally consisted of a well, next to the kitchen and laundry room, this well is a little different from other wells, that is, the wellhead is relatively thick, twice as thick as the normal wellhead, and can be put into two buckets to draw water at the same time. Originally, Guan Ming and the others wanted to drill another well, but later saw that the water output of this well was usually enough, so they did not dig another well.
Suddenly, one day, when a man was digging a well, he found that the bucket could not be put in, and when he looked down, a corpse appeared on the surface of the well. I was so scared that I almost threw the bucket. I fished it up and saw that it was a laundry lady in a laundry room, she was pregnant, and her mother-in-law was sick at home, so she wanted to wash all the clothes at night and take her mother-in-law to see Langzhong tomorrow morning. Due to fatigue, this one accidentally fell into the well and drowned.
Since the drowning of people in this well, it seems that the whole yamen has been evil, and one after another people have drowned in the well, and the dead are all the aunts and wives of the county magistrate Wu, because the county magistrate Wu has been soaking in the room for a long time and playing with his aunt's wife, and the aunt's wife is pregnant one by one.
Listening to Zhou Yu's rambling words this week, Ma Yao was not impatient, let alone interjected, and when he heard that the pregnant woman died in the well, he couldn't help interrupting Zhou Yu's words and asked: "This is always someone falling into the well, why don't you fill the well." ”
Zhou Yu cried and said with a sad face: "Why not, I had the idea of filling the well when I first died, but this Guan Ming looked at the feng shui pattern of the inner courtyard of the county ya, and said that the inner courtyard is laid out according to the phase of the nine palaces, and this well is the yin eye added on the basis of the nine palaces, and the yamen is the yang eye on the nine palaces."
This yin eye can collect the free miscellaneous qi between the weather, and then convert it into aura to feed back to the yang eye, which is beneficial to our yamen, so it is not landfilled for the time being, but just covered with stone slabs. Later, there were dead people, so I thought about filling it in, but when I was filling it that day, two migrant workers fell into it and drowned in full view of everyone, and no one dared to fill it in again. ”
Ma Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how did Guan Ming die?"
Zhou Yu settled down and said: "My Guan brother went to the well to stay overnight after drinking from my house, and then tomorrow he found himself hanged from a tree by the well. When he drank that night, he only drank and did not eat food, and repeatedly told me that after he died, I must find Master Ma, we encountered an invincible force, and only Master Ma could save us.
At the time, I thought that Brother Guan was too nervous during this time, and who knew that he would really die after dawn. If Master Ma doesn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid our whole family will die in this county office. ”
Seeing Zhou Yu snorting and tearing up, Ma Yao stood up, moved his muscles and said, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, even if there is no Zhou Yu, I will take care of it, let's go.
