28. The three protection brothers started infighting, and the water ghost brothers tried to take revenge

After Dabao killed Jin Xiangyu, he searched for Chenlong in the house to no avail, and carried Jin Xiangyu's head downstairs, and met Tietou who was about to go upstairs to check. Tietou saw that the thief came downstairs with a bloody human head in his hand, and he was murderous, so he hurriedly jumped down the stairs and ran, Dabao chased after him, and Tietou fled to the dock, and there was no way to escape, and he was caught up by Dabao. Dabao grabbed him by the collar and forced him to ask where was the housekeeper's son? The iron head was silent, and Dabao slashed the iron head to death. When she returned to the beach, she ran into the iron-headed daughter-in-law and escaped from the house, running head-on, and the second child chased after her, wanting to capture her and take her back to the cottage to be his wife. Seeing this, Dabao immediately stepped forward to surround him, pressed the iron-headed daughter-in-law to the ground, tied her up, and put her on horseback. Then put the head of the golden jade into the horse jacket, and instructed the second and small guards to light the torches and search for Chenlong from house to house. The guests at the hotel immediately became confused, shouting and fleeing in all directions. Dabao broke into the guest room and killed everyone, robbed countless guests' property, and still did not find Chenlong, his heart was on fire, and he burned the inn with a fire, and fled in a hurry with his iron-headed daughter-in-law. As the saying goes, the moon is dark and kills people, the wind is high and the day is set on fire, this night the shore and beach are all occupied, the fire takes advantage of the wind, ignites a raging fire, and burns for a day and a night.

Chen Long returned to the inn the next day after the tragedy on the beach, and saw that the building was almost charred and the corpses were all over the ground, he cried and shouted to find his father and Uncle Tietou, and when he found the dock, he accidentally found that Uncle Tietou was lying on the side of the pier and still breathing, so he hurriedly picked him up and shouted: "Uncle Ironhead, Uncle Ironhead, where is my father?" Tietou opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was Chenlong, he used his last strength to tell him: "The inn has been robbed, and your father has been killed by bandits. As he spoke, he trembled and took out half a gold coin from his coat pocket, "The thieves are looking for you everywhere, you can't stay on the beach anymore, but you can go to Shanghai to find Li Shanren, saying that the iron head has failed his expectations." "After saying that, in Chenlong's arms, he went back to Huangquan Road. The iron head didn't bat an eye, he didn't understand who he had offended, and if he wanted to come to wash the shore with blood, he wouldn't have thought that the housekeeper Qin Wuzheng was the culprit. Poor Tietou couple, honest and honest, diligently run the inn business, but because of their good deeds and help others, they not only ruined the good future of the beach, but also lost their lives in Huangquan.

At a young age, Chenlong first lost his mother, and then died of his father, and suffered a huge disaster that he should not have suffered at his age. He did not panic, showing a maturity and calmness that was not commensurate with his age, and first thought of reporting the case to the government, hoping that the government would arrest the murderer and avenge the people. Chenlong walked forty miles to the county office, the gate of the county government was closed, and there was a "forbidden monument" on the side of the road outside the door, and the "forbidden monument" was engraved with the prohibition of the three courts, which was nothing more than impartial law enforcement, prohibiting abuse of public power and so on. Chen Long jumped to the porch of the yamen with an arrow, came to a red lacquer and white leather drum, stood on tiptoe and beat it with a drumstick. The muffled sound of the drum startled him, but the yamen did not move, and remained closed. Chenlong kept knocking, and the yamen opened from the inside with a "squeak", and the yamen poked out half of his head and shouted: "Stop!" What grievances are there in broad daylight, you want to beat the drum and disturb the parish! Chen Long hurriedly threw the drumstick and replied respectfully: "Our people have no grievances, but there are murders, because the gangsters broke into the house in the middle of the night and killed people, my father and guests died violently in the inn. Wan Wang's master will investigate clearly, arrest the murderer, and redress the people's grievances! ”

Officer: "Take the form!" ”

Chenlong: "We don't have a paper, I report the case in person and ask the official to write on my behalf." ”

Officer: "So, the lawyer is not here today, come back another day!" "As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Chen Long hurriedly pushed the door, stepped into the threshold with one foot, and leaned over on the threshold and kowtowed: "Plead to the master, the scene at home is full of corpses, gangsters are running around, and the Wanwang official office will investigate as soon as possible." ”

When the official heard this, his life was at stake, and he said, "In that case, follow me in." He dodged and let Chenlong enter the door, and hurriedly closed the door.

The official took Chenlong to the Zhengda Hall of Light, threw him a futon, and told him to kneel. The county lord ascended to the court, inquired about the case, and the matter was very important, and immediately sent the official to ride a fast horse and gallop 40 miles to the remote shore and beach to investigate the case on the spot. The corpses lying on the shore and beach were horrific and miserable, one of them was headless. All the evidence pointed to a premeditated and planned gang of thieves to kill people, but the officials decided that it was a crime committed by a gangster and had nothing to do with local public security. Chen Long didn't expect this to be the result, endured his grief and anger, buried the iron-headed corpse, inserted the "Water is Flowing" sign on the grave, kowtowed repeatedly, and chanted: "Father rests in the spirit of heaven, and when the child finds the culprit, he will avenge his father, the iron-headed uncle and all the innocent guests!" ”

At this time, the carpenter and his wife came to the beach, their eyes were full of devastation, Chenlong knelt on the ground and wept, and stepped forward to comfort Chenlong and said: "The sky has eyes, and it will avenge the deceased." Now you can't bring back the lives of your loved ones if you cry to death, if you die, who will avenge you? The old man knows that you are eager for revenge, but this gang of thieves is a bandit in Qingfeng Village, there are many powerful people, killing people and robbing people's daughters, committing heinous crimes, and the government is helpless against them, how can you fight them single-handedly? Gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, leave this place quickly, go back with me! When Chenlong saw the carpenter, as if he had seen a relative, he immediately cried loudly, crying so that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas were nirvana, and heaven and earth were moved. After crying, he kowtowed to the grave three more times, and left the shore to take shelter at the master's house.
