(Two children have a fever together today, and the update is late, sorry...... )
As soon as the south gate of Zhezhou City was opened, there were people waiting to enter the city or wait to leave the city, and under the gaze of the guards guarding the gate, they began to enter and exit in an orderly manner. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was unusually eye-catching, and I saw a group of officers and soldiers unleashing a prisoner cart that broke the morning breeze between heaven and earth, and drove out of the city in a hurry.
There were about 30 officers and soldiers, and they were clearly dressed and armoured. The leader rode with a tall head and a horse, and the knight on the horse carried a sharp blade, which was Jiang Yu, the black-shirted guerrilla general. With a bright eye, he rode his beloved horse and galloped out of the side door of the south gate, which was wide open. This was followed by the prisoner van for the officers and soldiers.
The prisoner's cart was made of solid cedar wood, like a cage, and the prisoners were handcuffed and chained enough to sit in it. The neck is firmly covered, and when the probe comes out, it is difficult to twist even if you look left and right.
The prisoner seemed to be very old, and his hair was gray and white, and he looked like a frost knot, and he was so white that he panicked.
The people who entered and exited the city gate looked curiously, but they did not know the prisoner in the prisoner car, but they only wondered in their hearts what crime this person had committed, and where would he be released?
-- The temple is too high and too far away, there is no television station or newspaper in this world, and I don't know how many things are not accessible and learned by the people below.
Nie Zhiyuan came to Jinhua from Jiangzhou as a county magistrate, and the time he came to power was too short, not to mention the people in the city of Zhezhou, even if the people in Jinhua County knew him, there were only a few. Therefore, after Nie Zhiyuan became a prisoner, how many people cared about him, and others could not find out his identity at all. So in a speculative and questioning gaze, Nie Zhiyuan sat in the prisoner car and was escorted out of Zhezhou.
The weather was not good today, the wind was a bit strong and blowing.
Jiang Yuyang spurred his horse and took the lead, paying close attention to the surrounding environment, but at present, it seemed that his vigilance was a little redundant. On the road, when the walking ordinary people saw the procession coming, they retreated to the side and stood solemnly on the side of the road, and some of the timid did not dare to look at it.
The speed of the prisoner cart is a little slow, but fortunately, the sky is gloomy today, and there is no sun exposure, which saves a lot of suffering. At dusk, the wind suddenly became stronger, and a large dark cloud rolled in from the west, covering the sky and making it look a little dim.
Jiang Yu reined in the horses and looked up to see that it was the precursor of the mountain rain coming. He frowned and asked a lieutenant general next to him: "Vice General Zhu, the heavy rain is coming, where is there a place to shelter from the rain around here." ”
This Vice General Zhu is a native of Zhejiang, familiar with the geographical situation near Zhejiang, which is equivalent to the existence of a guide. He is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, he looks like a tiger's back, he is a standard soldier, he didn't dare to slack off when he heard Jiang Yu's question, he held a horsewhip in his hand, pointed to a dense forest in front of him, and said, "General, there is a righteous village there, which can shelter from the rain." ”
The so-called Yizhuang is a place to store the dead and store the coffin. These dead people were either strangers who died as guests, or those who were poor and had no place to be buried, or those who died in particular, so their bodies were put into coffins and transported into the village. Such a place is considered forbidden and is never allowed to be entered.
Hearing that it was Yizhuang, Jiang Yu was displeased and asked, "Other than that, there is no other place?"
Vice General Zhu shook his head and said, "This section of the road is very remote, and there were still one or two small villages a few years ago, but then they all moved away. ”
"Moved out?"
Jiang Yu was suspicious: "Could it be that they encountered natural and man-made disasters, so they moved away?" Besides, there is also the jurisdiction of the government, so moving away is not a casual move.
Speaking of this, Vice General Zhu suddenly showed a strange look on his face and shook his head: "There is no disaster...... Actually, it's because it's haunted......"
Haunted?
Jiang Yu was even more puzzled, and asked, "What the hell?"
Vice General Zhu pointed to a towering mountain range in front of him with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "General, according to our itinerary, we will arrive there at noon tomorrow...... The mountain is called Zhu Yan Mountain, there is an ancient temple in the mountain range, the name is Lanruo Temple, the haunted one is Lanruo Temple. According to legend, hundreds of people have been killed by demons in recent years. ”...,
Jiang Yu looked in the direction he was pointing, and when he heard the ghostly thing, his heart was inexplicably on fire, and he shouted: "Nonsense! Today's saints are wise, ruling the world, and the four seas are leveling, where are there any ghosts!"
As soon as he was drunk, Vice General Zhu was submissive and did not dare to speak up -- Jiang Yu was a black-shirted guerrilla general, with great authority and prestige. Not to mention that he is a small officer and soldier adjutant, even the magistrate of Zhejiang Prefecture is polite to Jiang Yu. It's just that the haunting of Lanruo Temple has long been rumored in the territory of Zhejiang, especially in Jinhua, and everyone knows about it. However, because this matter is too absurd, neither Jinhua nor Zhezhou can make a statement, let alone report it to the imperial court.
The land of jurisdiction is haunted, and countless people have died. Doesn't this kind of thing report to the imperial court, but it is not tantamount to asking for a dead end? I am afraid that when the imperial historians ascend to the throne, the emotions will be surging, and the impeachment recital will fly up like snowflakes to greet the leaders of Zhejiang, except for the deposition, there will be no second result. It's all because there are some things that can't be put on the table.
Lanruo Temple is haunted, fierce ghosts harm people, and people are panicked. Of course, the government can't sit idly by, but since the three groups of officers and soldiers sent out one after another entered the Lanruo Temple, they went into the sea and the bones were gone, no one dared to go in and search again...... Over time, the people in the villages hundreds of miles near Lanruo Temple were frightened, and those who were closer moved out. Nowadays, there are only a few small towns left in the huge place, and they are very ruthless.
On that day, Chen Jianchen and his entourage came from Jiangzhou, and they passed through the south of Lanruo Temple, and there was a Qingtian town in the south; now Jiang Yu and his entourage set off from Zhezhou to the north, but they had to pass through the north of Lanruo Temple. The existence of a temple is like an existence as a transportation hub. It is only because the disciples of the Shi family who built the Lanruo Temple were very unique in their location, which can make the Lanruo Temple prosperous and become one of the three famous temples in the world.
Unfortunately, it is now all in smoke.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were thicker, and they were pressed down, and the wind was blowing, and a heavy rainstorm was about to start.
Jiang Yu had no choice but to order the team to go to Yizhuang to avoid this heavy rain first.
The prisoner car Xiao Xiao couldn't help but speed up a few points. But no matter how fast they are, they can't match the speed of wind and rain. There was a lightning flash, as hideous as a silver snake, and then there was a boom, and the raindrops as big as soybeans fell on the top of the head, hitting the skin of the person, and it hurt for a while. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers had already prepared and took out their coats and hats from their bags and put them on.
Jiang Yu suddenly turned the horse's head, ran to the side of the prisoner car, took his hat, helped Nie Zhiyuan put it on, and said, "Lord Nie, the wind and rain are unpredictable, I hope you can hold on." ”
Nie Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "General Jiang, Nie is now a prisoner, how can you start talking about the title of an adult?"
Jiang Yu said loudly: "When I was in the capital, Jiang heard the name of an adult, and I admired him. I believe that after arriving in the capital, the Holy Lord will definitely return Lord Nie's innocence. ”
Regarding Nie Zhiyuan's case, Jiang Yu also knew something, he was not a stupid person, and soon understood that Nie Zhiyuan had become a victim of partisan disputes. But he believes that as long as he arrives in the capital, Nie Zhiyuan will have a chance to make a comeback. In other words, he always believed that with Nie Zhiyuan's previous reputation, the Holy Lord would not put him to death.
Although the emperor is young, he is by no means confused, but quite wise and martial, which is the outstanding image of the emperor. This is the impression that Emperor Zhengming gave Jiang Yu.
In the capital, Jiang Yu once met the saint once three years ago.
Hearing Jiang Yu's consolation, Nie Zhiyuan couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. In his mind, going to Beijing and winning the opportunity to face the saint was his only life-saving straw, so he has always had this thought. According to the usual practice, according to Nie Zhiyuan's identity, escorting him to Beijing would have a chance to meet the saint.
But......
But will this opportunity really go according to the normal procedure?
Nie Zhiyuan was really unsure in his heart, he knew the dangers of officialdom. There are many unpredictable developments. However, he didn't have too much fear and worry, and the most worried thing was his daughter Nie Xiaoqian.
Regarding his daughter's temperament, Nie Zhiyuan was worried that she would rob the prisoner car halfway. It's a very likely thing to happen, and if it does, then there's no room for maneuver in the whole thing. At that time, not only himself, but even his daughter will become a prisoner of the imperial court, and there will be no place in the world.
"Qian'er, you must not impulsively do stupid things. Going to the capital for my father is a big deal...... As long as you die well, you can live with the conscience of heaven and earth, and the people of the world, so what's the harm in dying?"
Nie Zhiyuan looked at the white rain curtain and prayed silently in his heart.
This storm came quickly, urgently and heavily, but after a while, it fell like a pot.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Keep up!"
"The prisoner cart is trapped, hurry up and help......"
The shouts and shouts mingled in the rain, and even though they were well-trained, they were caught off guard by such a heavy rain halfway through. Yizhuang, which could have been reached in only half a cup of tea, walked for nearly half an hour before it arrived.
At this time, many people in the whole team were drenched. In such a heavy rain, the clothes and hats could not protect the body. Jiang Yu tied the horse to a tree outside the gate of Yizhuang, looked up at the boxy, dust-walled and gray-tiled house, hesitated for a moment, walked forward, and took a closer look only to find that this Yizhuang seemed to be in disrepair, and no one had taken care of it for a long time.
He pushed the two covered wooden doors, but the first time he didn't push them, his arm was strengthened, and with a strong push, there was a crackling sound, and the wooden door on the left actually fell to the ground and split open.
