A family like the Gongsun family naturally attaches great importance to hospitality.

It is said that after Liu Yi and the dead Shichen went to Shuiheguan with the soldiers of Zhangwu County, Gongsun Haojin found a quiet and dust-free courtyard in Gongsun's mansion, and rushed to place the four Dongfang Chunsheng in the mansion of Gongsun's family.

After Liu Yi returned from his apprenticeship, he brought Han Li back to his place of stay, and that night, several people talked about it on their knees, explaining in detail what they saw, heard, and felt in the water and river view in the next day, which caused everyone to sigh.

Dongfang Chunsheng patted his chest and stomped, resenting these five talented people for misleading people.

Xia Qing sighed again and again, the so-called 'the way of heaven is constant, not for Yao's survival, not for ruin'.

Dongfang Yu praised her brother Yi with joy and ability.

I was surprised that the technique of the Daomen Ding Furnace was so powerful, and a small water river view had such magical powers.

Everyone, you say a word to me, through the window at night, the moon shines through the jade light.

Silent emotion, the morning is faintly dewed, and tomorrow morning is still the same!

......

The fifth source of wealth, the fifth day of the first year, this year's wish, today's reward.

The fifth day of the first month breaks five, according to the rules and customs, get up at dawn, set off firecrackers, drive the "five poor", and welcome the God of Wealth.

Although Zhangwu City has been plagued for several months, but before the sun rises, the sound of cannons on the street continues, and many people look sideways at Xuanwei Lane in the east of the city when the firecrackers are sounded, praying for the blessing and health of their families or neighbors.

Fan Tingnan walked on the main street with a few scribes, and after a little investigation of the people's situation, he went to Xuanwei Lane as usual. They believe that with Fan Tingnan, everything will be fine!

At least, it won't get bad again.

Liu Yi walked on the street, what he saw and heard, thought for a moment, and said to Dongfang Chunsheng, "Grandpa Dongfang, this Fan County does not favor personal feelings, does not make mistakes for personal feelings, governs the government in a good way, and is supported by the people, and it is very popular in Zhangwu County!" ”

Dongfang Chunsheng touched the copper coin on his waist, stroked his beard and nodded, and said in a muffled voice, "If things are really as we saw and heard yesterday, Fan Tingnan is indeed a rare capable minister." However, in addition to these, child, you also have to see the internal friction of the big clan, the power of the Jianghu sect, and the change in the hearts of this person! ”

Liu Yi thought about everything and said nothing.

"Of course, if you want to be a good official, you need some luck. In your hometown of Huaxing County, you should become his father, that is, the county guard of Huaxing County, should know that when Huangmenlang was promoted to the county guard, the rank was raised from 300 stones to 2,000 stones, which can be regarded as great luck, or it may be that time spent all the luck, after coming to Huaxing County, there were constraints everywhere, and in the past few years, an inch of work has not been built. But I have to say that he is indeed a rare good official, and under his rule, Huaxing County is much better than other counties in Quzhou. At the very least, the three major families of Liu, Huang, and Zhao don't dare to make too many times! ”

When it came to Huaxing County and Yingzhi, Liu Yi became interested and asked with interest, "Grandpa, the three major families of Liu, Huang, and Zhao, are they?" ”

Dongfang Chunsheng raised his head slightly and said, "Lingyuan Liu family, Fengyi Huang family, Xuanhuai Zhao family, these three families are known as the three major families of Huaxing County by the world. ”

After saying this, Dongfang Chunsheng glanced at Liu Yi inadvertently, his eyes were a little complicated, and said, "The sun and the moon are different, and the day and night are suitable." Huaxing County, as an important town in the northeast to control and contain the Central Plains, is far more complicated than Zhangwu County, in the entire Han Dynasty, it can be called the middle and upper clans, Huaxing County has Zhao, Huang and Liu. But grandpa and you have a small bet, if one day, you should know that the power is in your hands, you have criminal evidence in hand, and you will definitely kill these three families and uproot them. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi pouted and said casually, "Suddenly I don't want to open a restaurant!" I want to be a good officer! Leaving a mouth in the history books can also be regarded as a spring grass and autumn wind. ”

When Dongfang Chunsheng heard this, he was overjoyed, the old man laughed, and was about to respond, when a muffled sound in the east of the city broke the short-lived joy in the streets and alleys.

As the head of a county, Fan Tingnan needs to be carefully investigated for any trouble, and Fan Tingnan didn't care about greeting his neighbors, so he spread his legs and went straight to Dongcheng. The people who had good things and had relatives who were sick followed one after another, and some of the timid and indifferent people closed their doors and closed their doors, fearing that they would get into trouble at this moment.

Just when Dongfang Chunsheng and Liu Yi were standing next to him with doubts on their faces, Han Li, Xia Qing and Death Shichen walked together, and the three of them stood on the side of the old and young, Han Li was still wearing a coat and hat, and Death Shichen and Xia Qing changed into a big red jacket, which looked particularly popular. The three of them smelled of alcohol, and it seemed that they should have had a drink last night.

Xia Qing first stretched her waist, put her hands behind her head, and said lightly, "I don't know what it's like to be sad when I'm young, Yixian and Dongfang Yu, the two children, have been sleeping soundly so far, and the firecrackers haven't even woken up for a while." ”

"Lao Xia, you are very slippery, I saw it last night, you old boy secretly drank a cup and poured half a cup, before going to bed, your bed was a vast ocean, this wine is very bad!" Dead Shichen taunted Xia Qing fiercely.

Han Li smiled lightly, "Haha, Brother Chen is the best tongue among the killers, and Brother Xia is the best brain in the shopkeeper." ”

Han Li, who was standing beside Liu Yi, was different from yesterday's cold state, but looked deferential and humble, which made people think of Jing Ke, who was righteous and strong, powerful and virtuous, and quiet like a virgin.

"Meet in the deep alley, the magic method removes the old sorrows. Let's go! Let's take a look, these thousands of people in Xuanwei Lane, but they can count on him! Han Li seemed to have known about the affairs in the east of the city, and the dead Shichen and Xia Qing were also unsurprised.

Pointed by the thoughts of the people's suffering, Han Li's mood became sluggish, he looked up at the early sun, his face was resolute, his eyes were full of anticipation, and then, walking like flying, he disappeared after a while.

If you can't be saved, I'm willing to scatter my thoughts and be healthy!

The movement in the east of the city is far more powerful than everyone thought.

The East Gate, several feet high, was shattered; Xuanwei Lane people in the three layers of congestion here, the family because of the plague and the people who were treated here, a large number of unarmed county soldiers rushed from the county guard, forming a human wall, blocking the people outside the alley, Xuanwei Alley outside the noisy scene, concerned in the chaos, the people even have the danger of mutiny.

In Xuanwei Lane, there is no inside from the outside, a thin yellow mist, the medicine is steaming, and there is no sound at all.

At this time, a person ran out of the alley, and everyone looked at it, and that person was the county guard of Zhangwu County, Fan Tingnan.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom is different, in terms of appearance, Fan Tingnan has a short body, thin bones and broad shoulders, and dark skin, which is far from Fan Guanbei's appearance. But if you compare the mind, the city, the pattern and the nature, the two brothers are also far apart.

With the help of the county soldiers, Fan Tingnan finally passed through the crowd and climbed into a nearby adobe house, he didn't have time to tidy up his clothes, and immediately blurted out a generous statement, shouting, "Father Zhangwu, the plague has been going on for several months, the people's orders have been lost, the seasons have not been followed, relatives have died, and the city mourns." The whole county, for a long time, there is no way to get out of trouble and save the people, and thousands of mourning graves in the east of the city stand on the road, which is really the responsibility of listening to the incompetence of the south guard. ”

The noise gradually subsided, and the people held their breath and listened to Fan Tingnan's speech.

Fan Tingnan ignored it and continued to shout, "Today, there is a heavenly master in Shuihe Temple who has broken through the door to visit, bring elixir to the symptoms, preach to the spirit, cast spells and exercises, save Zhangwu from all difficulties, and extinguish the plague in the time of rage, this is Ling Yuan's great luck, I hope that all the fathers and villagers will be calm and wait for good news." Minwu compatriots, Wu Wu and Yi, listen to the south here, if the water and river master is useless, the tomb in the east of the city, today, there will be a Fan Tingnan! ”

Whether it is the county soldiers or ordinary people, they are all full of tears and look at Fan Tingnan, during this time, in order to relieve the people's urgency, the county guard emptied his family and burned his hair white, which made people feel distressed.

As mediocre ordinary people, they may not go out of Bozhou in this life, let alone see the powerful people like the 'Five Princes and Twelve Secretaries'. In their hearts, the county keeper in front of them, who has a crooked mouth and a hunchback, short body and black skin, works day and night, and is willing to be a cow and horse, is the saint who can erect a monument to preach and continue the incense forever.

Where the hearts of the people are going, where the avenue is going, all the people, at this moment, choose to believe.

Liu Yi had an idea, found an inconspicuous position in the crowd, and shouted 'Scatter and scatter'!

The people whined, brushed and shouted, 'Take care, adults'.

Then they dispersed.

When the people dispersed, Fan Tingnan turned over and went out of the room. The county soldiers, scribes, Liu Yi, Dongfang Chunsheng and others who were waiting under the room all bowed their hands, and Fan Tingnan just bowed his hand in return, and then motioned for everyone to wrap their faces in white scarves and enter Xuanwei Lane with Fan Tingnan.

Along the way, the medicine was gone, and the sound was silent. Except for the officials and attendants who came and went, the alley was empty, and there was a slight moan in the house, and a miserable scream would come from the cold, which was very infiltrating.

In the middle of the line, everyone was stretched out by a Taoist boy to cut off, and in the thicker and thicker yellow mist, a white-haired and white-bearded Taoist could be vaguely seen, sitting on the ground, placing a dish in front of him, and the old Taoist made a seal up and down with both hands, moving quickly, and moving around the vessel, and the fog came out of the dish.

"Wait and go! Staying here is also useless, don't bother with the Dharma! ”

For Liu Yi, Han Li, and Dead Shichen, this voice is very familiar, and it is the real person of the five talents!

The matter was serious, Fan Tingnan immediately led everyone out of the alley, found a secluded restaurant nearby, asked for two drawers of mantou, a basin of hot goat's milk, plus three side dishes of green onions, salt tofu, mushrooms, eggs, and pork jerky, and sat at the same table with everyone to have breakfast.

Before the meal was served, the enthusiastic and sensible boss first served a bowl of floating yuan seeds for each person, and all of them passed the Lantern Festival in advance.

The people in the seats are not pedantic, and the pedantic rules of Confucianism that do not speak and sleep are left behind, and Fan Tingnan swallowed while talking about the experience of Xuanwei Lane this morning.

"When I came back yesterday, it was already dark, and I didn't bother much when I heard Nan. If it weren't for your chivalrous courage yesterday, I'm afraid that I, Fan Tingnan, would have been infamous through the ages, and I would be grateful for this matter. ”

Fan Tingnan paused, choked fiercely, and continued, "Regarding the five talented real people, I think you righteous people have also known about it, and this official will not repeat it again. Just now, I talked with the little Taoist boy next to the Wucai real person for a while, and I can be regarded as having a rough understanding of the reason why the Wucai real person broke through the city gate today and came here. ”

After drinking a large sip of goat's milk, Fan Tingnan opened the chatterbox, "The thing placed in front of the Wucai Zhenren is the death of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is one foot one inch high, nine inches and one minute in diameter, four ears square seat, drooping square er, deep drum belly, continuous casting square seat under the circle foot, the belly and circle foot are decorated with snail animal patterns, and the bottom of the vessel is cast with a large seal inscription of eight lines and seventy-eight characters, describing the sacrificial ceremony held in the 'heavenly room' after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang. ”

Liu Yi thought of the allusions in the book, and took advantage of Fan Tingnan's time to chew, and said slowly, "It is rumored that King Wu of Zhou and eight hundred princes sacrificed to the Emperor God on Taimur Mountain. King Wu was overjoyed, rewarded with Jue Lu ritual and guarded, and the heavenly death was also known as an auspicious thing, stored in the palace of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, King Wu of Zhou summoned the Duke to Yan, and gave the heavens to die, and this Gui always stayed in Yandi. For some reason, it was obtained by this five-talented real person. This thing is a real treasure in the world! ”

Everyone looked at Liu Yi one after another, admiring his youthful erudition.

Fan Tingnan continued, "Yesterday, this official sent troops suddenly, and it was initially speculated that these five talented real people were not lying in the view of water and rivers. According to Dao Tong, after returning to the county yesterday, Wucai Zhenren spent a night refining all the medicinal herbs and pills that had been made in Guanzhong, and melted them into 17 mysterious pills, which were placed in the Heavenly Death Pavilion, and they immediately came. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Tingnan smiled dumbly, "Wucai Zhenren is short-tempered, when he just entered the city, the county soldiers intercepted him, and the old Taoist chief was eager to save people, so he broke into the door. After finding the middle position of Xuanwei Lane, he immediately put the pills one by one in the order of refining the medicine against Li Yanfeng, supplemented by the secret technique of Daomen Gong with his mind, and the effect of the pill was distributed in the form of yellow mist, and immersed in the body between the patient's mouth and nose breathing, and one pill could be dissipated in about half an hour, and now the first pill has been dissipated. I'm a martial artist, I'm saved! ”

When Fan heard Nan talk about this, he finally showed a hint of joy on his face, and a feeling of relief from a catastrophe appeared on his cheeks.

For the actions of the five talents today, the dead Shichen was very appreciative, but he couldn't help but sigh, "These five talents are also fighting for their lives!" According to this method of treatment, let's not say whether it is successful or not, the five talents will definitely lose their life! ”

Han Li followed up and explained, "On the way of cultivation, the seven forces and five wisdoms, driving birds, breaking the wind, shaking trees, falling horses, removing armor, pushing monuments, and breaking the city before the seven realms, the qualifications are middle and upper, diligent cultivation, and proper exercises can break the mirror." To the five realms of things, immortality, heavenly movement, imperial arts, and through the five realms, it is necessary to comprehend the way of heaven, move the heart and forbearance, and adapt to the season. Wucai is a peeping machine to enter, the realm is unstable, plus yesterday's battle, the mental consumption is huge, I am afraid that today's consumption, the realm will fall to the bottom. ”

Juzihan Li didn't like goat's milk, so he asked for a pot of hot water, poured himself to drink, pulled his hoarse voice, and said slowly, "Alas, the two things of fate and fate, no one can say clearly, just like the chaotic situation of the division of the heroes and the disputes of the Three Kingdoms a hundred years ago, the five good generals of Cao Wei and the five tiger generals of Shu Han can be called the once in a hundred years of martial arts qualifications, but in the end, it was ill-fated, not to the peak, the only one among the martial artists to reach the top of Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, but he ended up in a sad end. The fortune of the sky has shrunk, the spring and autumn have come, the sea is shaking, how is the lonely boat! ”

There was silence on the table, on one side was a local official, on the other hand was a giant of the rivers and lakes, the two had distinct personalities, everyone knew each other because of the plague, but they didn't understand each other, for fear that a mistake would annoy the two. has the painful lesson of being settled by Liu Ruisheng after the autumn last time, Dongfang Chunsheng, Xia Qing, and Liu Yi are also cautious in their words and deeds, so they bow their heads and eat and stop talking.

Half a moment later, Liu Yi suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, left the seat, tidied up his clothes, and respectfully bowed his hand to Fan Tingnan and said, "My lord, I have a discussion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Haha, Liu Yi, you are Liu Quansheng's only son, right?" Fan Tingnan also put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and helped Liu Yi up, looking up and down, as if the seniors were appreciating their favorite juniors.

After taking a closer look, Fan Tingnan laughed, "I still remember that day, when the sky was red, your father stood in front of the Sima Gate of Chang'an, the spring breeze was proud, and he wrote down the chapter, 'The young man swept the Hulu, and swept the wind and clouds; The horn wakes up from a dream, and a ride is determined to rise and fall' and other quatrains for the ages. The country does not change, Shaohua is fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, your father and I are already at the age of urging Huafa with two temples. Yesterday, I saw you drinking my brother, and even your father slaughtered the world and pointed out the mountains and rivers in the past. It seems that Liu Quansheng has a successor! Liu Yi, do you have any proposals, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Liu Yi did not have any feedback on Fan Tingnan's praise, but bowed lower, and he said respectfully, "Lord Fan, the green sleeves can be surrounded by incense, and the shark can be caged, just now Xiaomin saw that this yellow mist is thick, which can spread to the head and end of Xuanwei Alley, and there is a large horizontal leakage and vertical overflow of the medicine mist, which is wasted." In this case, why don't we wrap it in layers of cloth, so that the medicinal qi only circulates in Xuanwei Lane, wouldn't the medicinal power be better? ”

"Oh, I was still sad and couldn't do what I could for the plague people, and you kid sent me a clever plan, this trick is wonderful, wonderful! Dry firewood and withered grass can be piled up in the streets and alleys, and the sky is covered with plain cloth to form a relatively sealed space, so that the strength of the medicine and the quality of the medicinal effect will be greatly improved, good! All right! ”

Fan Tingnan praised Liu Yi's proposal, and after saying this, he immediately called out to the small officials with him and went to prepare. He was about to sit down to eat, but he couldn't sit down anymore, in a half-sitting position, he looked at everyone, and then looked outside the door, a few back and forth, this Lord Fan finally picked up the goat's milk and rushed out.

Treating injuries and fighting plague with one heart, Fan Tingnan can't wait.

Dry firewood is necessary for heating in the cold season in the northeast, and dry grass is used to repair houses, lay pig houses, and weave mats.

Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and under the beating of gongs and drums, after a while, all the entrances and exits of Xuanwei Lane were blocked by the people who came from all directions, and they were tightly blocked with firewood and grass. The people who came to deliver firewood and grass were reluctant to leave, and watched from a distance, and Fan Tingnan no longer dispersed, but only told the county soldiers to control the exits, and the people were not allowed to enter Xuanwei Lane.

After another half an hour, a piece of colorful cloth was pulled from the end of the alley by Han Li and the dead Shichen, and the two of them were elegant and outstanding on the roof, which aroused the applause of the onlookers. If the plague can be solved, this is the best holiday gift for the Lantern Festival a few days later.

"The personnel are exhausted, and the rest is the destiny of heaven!"

Fan Tingnan, who was busy coming and going, was full of heat, sitting in a corner of the alley, clenching his fists, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes.

Dongfang Chunsheng, who has always been old-fashioned, squeezed the wrinkles on his forehead, shook the three copper coins hanging from his waist, and comforted Fan Tingnan, "Providence is always to the brave people, Fan Junshou, rest assured!" ”

"Mr. Dongfang, don't follow it, you have also been an official of the imperial court, and after you go into hiding, you are even more virtuous and old, and you should know the truth that it is difficult to recover the water." Fan Tingnan smiled bitterly, and then, his eyes drifted to Xuanwei Lane, and he couldn't leave it anymore.

It was a day that affected the whole city, eight and a half hours, and it was gone by in a blink of an eye.

As the last pill was exhausted in the Heavenly Death Circle, the sweaty Wucai Zhenren quickly got up and flashed into a room nearby, and the old Taoist chief randomly found a middle-aged man with a festering body, and after repeatedly checking the pulse, his body became weak, and he sat on the ground, slowly closing his eyes, and looking relieved.

"It's done!"
