Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Wind Sets the Illing Crossing
Under the cover of Qi Huang, Hu Jin and the others fled straight to the Taihe at the Ngoling Ferry.
At this time, the men and horses brought by Xu Sanqiu had already controlled the Taihe, and had laid an ambush on the Taihe and its surroundings. Luo Dafu was entering the city with soldiers borrowed from the surrounding counties, and rushed straight to the Oroling Ferry.
Li Chouxin took Ziwei, Zhu Wei and Sanmiaotang, who had changed into women's clothes, to the Ngoling Ferry.
The people on the street congratulated the Ling family when they saw it, and followed Li Chouxin and his party to join in the fun.
Hu Jin and the others arrived at Orolingdu in a panic, and when they saw that the surroundings were calm, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were about to go to the Taihe.
It's just that a group of more than 20 people arrived under the boat, and just as they were about to board the ship, Xu Sanqiu walked out of the boat.
When Yan Zefa saw Xu Sanqiu, he was overjoyed, and stepped forward and said, "Does Mr. Xu know that we are in trouble and have made a special trip here to wait for him?" ”
Xu Sanqiu said with a smile: "That's right, Yan Sima, Xu is waiting for you here, but not to respond, but to bring you to justice." ”
Yan Zefa's face, which was still smiling, instantly became gloomy, and said: "Preface Sanqiu, I treat you well on the second and second floors on weekdays, do you have to die today?" It's better to let me go, and he will repay him one day. ”
Xu Sanqiu didn't want to pay much attention to the people in front of him, after all, he had been in Oroling for eight years, all because of the group of people in front of him, so he ordered the ambush to be ambushed, and after the order, people poured out from all sides and the boat, surrounding Hu Jin and others.
Hu Jin saw that Sanqiu's manpower was not much more than his own, so he ordered Qi Huang to lead people to attack the ship directly, as long as he got on the boat, everything would be easy.
Qi Huang held a spear in his hand, his face was firm, and he was not afraid at all, even if he was the only one who could protect Hu Jin, there were few people in his opinion, just supporting the scene, and then he had to do it.
"General Qi is slow, is it true that a good man is really stubborn, and he is here for nothing for a few traitorous villains?"
The group looked up at the steps, where Rodav was riding down the steps with a man.
At this time, Li Chouxin also arrived, and the six beauties around him became the highlight of everyone's attention for a while, but there were also half of the people of Erling City behind him, and they all came to see Hu Jin and others to subdue the law and return justice to the Ling family.
Seeing that it was Luo Dafu coming, Hu Jin and the others were already dead.
Qi Huang said calmly: "Lord Hu has the grace of knowing me, and Qi will never abandon my adult at this time." ”
Hu Jin knew Qi Huang's skills very well, and seeing that Qi Huang was so resolute, he didn't plan to quibble, he just wanted to fight to the death, anyway, he was already in a dilemma at this time.
Under the persuasion of Luo Dafu, more than 20 people beside Hu Jin were still unwilling to surrender, and Luo Dafu was helpless, so he signaled Xu Sanqiu to make the crimes of Hu Jin, Yan Zefa and others public.
Xu Sanqiu stood on the boat and read to the onlookers that Hu Jin, Yan Zefa, the Zhang family, and the Taihe conspired to smuggle ordnance, transport inferior ordnance to the border gates, and sell high-quality ordnance to fill their own pockets, and also explained how Hu Jin and Yan Zefa framed the Ling family and the Zhang family.
And Hu Jin didn't want to admit his guilt at this moment, and said: "Now that you are so powerful, you have decided everything you say, since you say that I smuggled weapons, is there any evidence?" ”
Seeing that Hu Jin still didn't give up, Luo Dafu said angrily: "Hu Jin, do you know why I came here from Xifeng Pass?" In order to seek justice for the border soldiers who were chilled by you, you have not known how to restrain and intensify over the years, causing the border soldiers to be miserable, and you still dare to quibble. ”
The people who were watching on the sidelines were all angry when they heard this, and they thought that they would just do something to enrich their own pockets, but they didn't expect that it was based on the interests of the border soldiers, and they were really wolf-hearted dog officials.
Hu Jin still wanted to continue arguing, but Xu Sanqiu interrupted him, and he had boxes of brand-new weapons and armor lifted out of the Taihe, piled up on the deck of the Taihe as high as a hill.
"Hu Jin, this is the batch of ordnance you sent out on the fifteenth day of last month, but I didn't expect it, and it was sent back completely." Xu Sanqiu said to Hu Jin and the others.
"Nonsense, how can this official ever do this, you will ruin the reputation of this official after the third autumn break." Hu Jin reprimanded angrily.
Xu Sanqiu continued: "Xu is a secret agent sent by the Ordnance Supervisor to investigate the case, and he has been on the second and second floors for eight years just for today, and when the matter comes, you still don't admit your guilt?" ”
When Hu Jin heard this, his heart was full of thoughts, many transactions over the years have been negotiated on the second and second floors, and many of them are known about the third and autumn seasons, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that his legs are gradually losing strength.
At this time, Yan Zefa was still sober, and stepped forward to say to everyone: "Don't listen to slander, these weapons are not signed, who knows where they came from, maybe they found them from where they framed us, and they will never be trusted." ”
When the people heard this, some of them also began to discuss it, and what Yan Zefa said did have some truth, but there was no pointing evidence, and it was really difficult to convict.
Xu Sanqiu and Luo Dafu saw Hu Jin and others who refused to admit their guilt for a long time and the voices of discussion that were all around, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Here's the proof!" A fast horse galloped from the long street and stopped in front of Li Chouxin.
The person who came was Zhang Rao, the young master of the Zhang family.
Zhang Rao took out an account book, handed it to Li Chouxin, and said: "Brother Chou Xin, what you have done is really righteousness, although I, Zhang Rao, am a gentleman, but I also understand what righteousness is, this account book will be handed over to you, you can use it." ”
Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Rao in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, but Zhang Rao could have this realization, Li Chouxin was inexplicably happy, and said: "Zhang Shao, it's me Li Chou who is ashamed of your sincerity, but even if I make a choice again, I will still be worried." ”
Zhang Rao said: "In the final analysis, this time you saved the Zhang family, and all grievances will be written off." In the future, I will learn martial arts with Master Time, and if I have the fate to meet again in the future, I will compete with Brother Sorrowful. After Zhang Rao finished speaking, he rode away, leaving a dashing back.
Seeing this, Luo Dafu wanted to let people chase him, but was stopped by Li Chouxin.
Li Chou said: "Brother Luo, this Zhang family has also made a great contribution, and it will inevitably fall into disgrace if you catch it at this time, so let's solve the matter in front of you first." ”
When Rodaf heard this, he gave up.
Li Chouxin handed the ledger to Luo Dafu, looking at the familiar ledger, Hu Jin sat on the ground with a face full of unwillingness.
At this time, a person came out of the crowd and shouted: "Yan Zefa, do you still know the old man and the people behind the old man?" ”
Yan Zefa looked at the voice, that person was Ling Shantu and the mother and daughter of the Ling family.
Ling Shantu stepped forward while telling Yan Zefa's persecution of his Ling family, and when the people heard this, they finally saw the true face of Hu Jin and others on the field, after all, Ling Shantu had always been the image of a good man in Oroling in the past, and Ling Shantu's evidence was undoubtedly the last straw that crushed Hu Jin and others.
Li Chou saw that the atmosphere on the field was almost the same, so he motioned to Ziwei, Zhu Wei, Qinyin and others to point out the behavior of Hu Jin and others over the years.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere on the field reached a climax, and the people threw eggs, vegetable leaves and some melons and fruits to Hu Jin and others in the audience, and the scene was chaotic.
Yan Zefa was unbearable, and said to Hu Jin: "My lord, the matter has come to this, if you go back, you will die, and if you die here, you will die, it is better to fight and rob the Taihe, maybe you can kill a way out." ”
Qi Huang also echoed beside him: "My subordinates would rather die standing than live on their knees, and I ask my lord to decide." ”
Hu Jin looked around, it was indeed a chance for the Taihe, after all, Xu Sanqiu was a literati and had no combat power.
Under Hu Jin's signal, Qi Huang and his people quickly began to resist, and immediately emptied the group of people who had gathered in front of him.
Yan Zefa said at this time: "General Qi, first control the order Sanqiu, and if you control it, you will control the Taihe. ”
Qi Huang looked at Xu Sanqiu, jumped up from the ground with a spear in his hand, and walked towards Xu Sanqiu, who looked harmless to humans and animals.
Hu Jin and Yan Zefa were overjoyed when they saw this, thinking that they would be able to control the Taihe soon.
Qi Huang also thought that he was caught, and rushed over unguarded.
But Xu Sanqiu stood in place unhurriedly, just when Qi Huang was about to come to him, the trick was repeated, a row of flying needles came out together, and flew straight towards Qi Huang, Qi Huang didn't have time to dodge, although he avoided some, but he was still pierced into the acupuncture point by several flying needles that were difficult to dodge, and he fell on the deck and couldn't move anymore.
When Hu Jin and the others saw this, they were shocked, it turned out that Xu Sanqiu was also a person with unique skills, and they were really blindsided.
At this point, Hu Jin and the others finally stopped resisting and were ready to be arrested.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zefa was still a little bloody, and said: "Master Hu, you and I will not escape death after all, so it is better to sprinkle blood here, so as not to be tortured when you go back." ”
Hu Jin was shocked when he heard this: "Strict law!" What do you want? ”
Yan Zefa walked towards Hu Jin with the knife in his hand and said, "Knowing that adults are timid, let the villain send the adults on the road." ”
Before Hu Jin could speak, Yan Zefa fell with a knife and Hu Jin was stunned by this scene for a while.
Just when Luo Dafu said something to stop it, Yan Zefa wiped his neck with a knife again, and as the blood sprayed out, he also lost movement on the ground and died on the ferry.
When everyone saw this, they applauded.
And the stone hanging on Li Chou's chest finally fell.
Luo Dafu and Xu Sanqiu were a little disappointed, after all, they couldn't arrest a few people with their own hands and ask for the guilt, but fortunately, they were all punished.
Xu Sanqiu and Luo Dafu sent people to escort the remaining people back to the Assassin's Mansion and prepared to punish them for their crimes.
As the crowd at the Ngoling Ferry dispersed, the storm that had been stirring up the Eling for a long time finally came to an end.
The next day, after a series of treatments by Luo Dafu and Xu Sanqiu, the Ling family finally returned to the Ling Mansion, and Ziwei and Zhu Wei reappeared in front of the world as everyone's ladies.
The Ling Mansion is not big, the facilities are simple but simple and elegant, and it has been sealed since the Ling family was framed.
But today, the Ling Mansion is very lively, the people who are good friends with the Ling Shan Road on weekdays have come to congratulate the Ling family on redressing their grievances, and there are also some people who have benefited from the Ling Mountain Road in the past have sent some farm products.
In the main hall of Lingfu, Lingshan Road held a banquet to entertain Li Chouxin, Luo Dafu and others, and everyone's faces were full of joy.
Just as everyone was toasting and drinking, a fast horse galloped outside the door, it was from Xijing.
Seeing this, everyone came out to greet them.
That person was the herald in the palace, and when he saw this person coming, Luo Dafu and Xu Sanqiu were very happy in their hearts, especially Xu Sanqiu, because this herald was clearly here to announce his return to Xijing.
Sure enough, the man read out the holy will, that is, let the preface return to Beijing in the third autumn day to report on his work, and the official was reinstated, and the salary was doubled.
Luo Dafu is official position unchanged, the grade has been promoted from the third grade to the third grade, and he returned to the west wind pass to guard the town and listen to the announcement on the next day.
Luo Dafu understands that after solving the case of the Oroling, it is inevitable to return to Beijing, but it will take some time for the change of guards. However, Luo Dafu repaired a letter and asked the herald to bring it back to Xijing Miansheng, and he wanted to continue to guard the Xifeng Pass and fight on the battlefield with all the soldiers.
After some persuasion to no avail, the herald finally agreed to present the meaning and letter of Rodav to the Holy Front.
However, this time there is an unexpected joy, the herald once again took out a will from the burden, that is, the Oroling can not be left without an owner for a day, because Ling Shantu is upright, friendly to the people, and knowledgeable, he is specially canonized as the history of the Ulling Thorn.
Ling Shantu received the holy decree and was full of emotion, feeling the deep grace of the emperor on the one hand, and feeling the hard-won on the other.
The arrival of the herald was thanks to the timely delivery of the charges and fate of Hu Jin and others to Xijing, and the current situation of the Oroling, so that Xijing sent someone to deliver the decree.
This time it was undoubtedly a joy to be overjoyed, and everyone drank more freely.
After a celebration, the people also dispersed, and the Ling Mansion returned to its former calm, Ziwei and the others were cleaning up the remnants, Ling Shantu and Li Chouxin were drinking tea in the courtyard, everything looked very peaceful, and who knew that tomorrow would be the time to separate.
Ling Shantu asked, "Sorrowful son, how did you think about Ziwei's matter?" ”
Li Chou did not hide it: "I am sad and thank my uncle for his love, but I am sad and have a clear breeze on my sleeves, I really don't dare to mistake the beauty, so let's stop it." ”
After listening to Li Chouxin's words, Ling Shantu shook his head helplessly, knowing that Li Chouxin had made up his mind, he didn't persuade him anymore, got up and walked towards the room.
And Ziwei also heard Li Chouxin's answer, and felt very sad. However, he understands Li Chouxin's intentions, not that there is no love between the two, but Li Chouxin's ambition is not here, Ziwei thought of this, and began to think in her heart.
Tonight, Li Chouxin stayed in the Ling Mansion and did not return to Sanmiaotang.
In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yin woke up Li Chouxin from outside the door, saying that Xu Sanqiu and Luo Dafu were both leaving Oro, and Ling Shantu had already gone to the city gate to see him off.
When Li Chou heard this, he found a fast horse and hurried to the city gate.
Under the city gate, there were only Luo Dafu and Ling Shantu, and Xu Sanqiu left early because he wanted to return to Xijing as soon as possible with the herald.
Seeing Luo Dafu, Li Chou felt a little regretful, just because he couldn't say goodbye to Xu Sanqiu. However, Luo Dafu said: "It's okay, he is worried that his brother will go to Xijing to meet Xu Sanqiu again." ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Rodav was about to get up and go to the west wind pass.
Li Chouxin called Luo Dafu and said: "Brother Luo, since I am sad to see you, I will be like old at first sight, plus Brother Luo is upright, I don't care about the affairs of the Zhang family, I really regard you as a confidant, I don't know when we will meet today, I am sad that I have a poem to give, and I hope that Brother Luo will accept it." ”
When Luo Dafu heard this, he said, "Sad brother, Duff has long regarded you as a brother, if it weren't for the busy military affairs, he would definitely have to get drunk with his sad brother for a while longer." ”
Li Chou said in his heart: "Since this is the case, please take care of Brother Luo." ”
Luo Duff said: "Sad brother, Duff has never liked to part, you can read this poem aloud in my direction after I leave, Duff will remember it." ”
With that, Rodav rode slowly out. Li Chouxin followed behind, and shouted loudly word by word:
The spear and iron horse chased the clouds
Ten miles of autumn wind is difficult to settle
If you wear gold armor on the next day
Thousands of miles of long drive and king
Luo Dafu did not look back, but the corners of his mouth rose, let out a long drink, and galloped away, leaving only a puff of smoke and dust and Li Chou looking from afar.
After saying goodbye, Li Chouxin did not return to Ling Mansion again, and returned to Sanmiaotang to start packing his bags.
And Qin Yin and the others were already waiting here, Li Chou saw a few people, and said, "Are you here to send me?" ”
I saw a few people kneeling on the ground and said pleadingly: "I know that Childe is leaving, please take Childe with us, I am willing to follow Childe to the end of the world." ”
Before Li Chou could respond, a voice came from the door, "I am also willing!" ”
A few people looked at it, and the person who came was Ling Ziwei, dressed in a purple shirt, with a fairy spirit and a look full of expectation.
Ziwei had just entered the door, and there was another voice from the door, "Wait a minute, there is still me and me." ”
As soon as I heard it, it was Zhu Wei's voice.
Li Chouxin faced the six pretty beauties, and he didn't know how to respond.
Ziwei said: "Knowing the ambition of the child, Ziwei does not dare to stay, but Ziwei is willing to follow the end of the world with the son from now on, not afraid of wind and rain." ”
Seeing this, the other five people said in unison: "We are also willing to be with us for a long time, rain or shine." ”
Li Chouxin looked at this situation, and couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
However, Li Chouxin walked up to Zhu Wei and said, "Little Zhu Wei, you are still young, so you have been fooled around, stay with your parents, otherwise you will all leave, and your uncle and aunt will be left alone." ”
"It's not fair! It's not fair! Why can't I do it if they can, I don't agree! Zhu Wei said anxiously on the side.
Ziwei also persuaded each other, and Qin Yin and others also tried hard to persuade her, but it was useless.
So Li Chou said: "That's it, then let's go together, but if you want to go, you have to deal with Sanmiaotang, although the previous more than 10 million taels is enough, but the money, of course, the more the better, let's stay in Erling today, and wait for Sanmiaotang to leave tomorrow morning." ”
Seeing that everyone happily agreed, they all went out to get busy with the sale of Sanmiaotang.
Li Chouxin sat in the courtyard, and he had made up his mind that he planned to leave the Oro Tomb overnight and leave them all in the Oroling.
After half a day's work, Sanmiaotang was sold. A few people packed their bags and waited for Li Chouxin's order to leave tomorrow.
A few people had dinner at Sanmyodo and planned to spend the last night in Sanmyodo.
Late at night, Li Chouxin quietly got up, took the three feet three and the baggage and went out, riding a horse to the north gate.
I thought that I was alone, and I really couldn't bear to suffer a few girls, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
But who knows, Ziwei and the others are already waiting under the city gate alone.
Li Chouxin came to the city gate and saw that the six beauties were already here, and he was slightly embarrassed.
Ziwei said: "What are you hesitating about, let's go together if you want to go, I know that you don't want me to suffer, and you will leave secretly, so we have been waiting here for a long time, worrying brother, you can't leave our sisters behind." ”
Li Chou was helpless, but secretly happy in his heart, with so many beauties to accompany him, the road ahead was not lonely, so the seven people and seven horses left Oroling overnight.
