Chapter 18: Burial of the Father

According to the arrangement of the county magistrate, Tianci and Zhao Jian came to the county office early the next morning and applied for a release order signed by the county magistrate. After coming out of the gate, just in time, Mu Yang arrived by carriage. A few people got into the car and rushed to the prison camp outside the city to pick up Zhang's father.

Several people came to the gate of the prison camp, showed the warrant of the county magistrate, and waited at the gate to let them out.

After a while, a jailer rushed to tell him: "Oh no, Zhang Laohan has fainted in the cell for some reason, and he is unconscious." You wait to check it out. ”

When they heard this, they were shocked and hurried to the cell with the jailer. As soon as he entered the dimly lit cell, he saw his father lying on a straw mat, his eyes closed, his face pale and gray, and there was a pile of vomit next to the pillow, which was obviously a symptom of food poisoning.

Tianci stepped forward and probed his father with his hand to find that there was still a trace of breath, hurriedly reached out and pointed a few acupuncture points on his father's body, got up and asked the jailer, "What did you give him?"

The jailer said, "It's nothing, it's just the usual food, it's the same as everybody's." After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "By the way, yesterday evening, a Xiao Si sent a few meals for Zhang Laohan." ”

Zhao Jian was furious, stepped forward to the jailer's collar, and shouted and asked, "Who?!Who sent the food?"

"It was said that Miss Chu sent it, and someone from the Chu family also sent food a few days ago, and it was said hello, so we didn't ask much. The jailer hurriedly pleaded.

"Nonsense, I didn't send anyone to deliver food yesterday. Mu Yang said angrily.

"A few days ago, I asked people to send some food, but I thought that I would leave the camp today, and I didn't send it again yesterday, who dared to pretend to be in the name of my Chu family and harm my Uncle Zhang?"

At this time, Zhang's father opened his eyes, turned over and vomited again, and Tianci hurriedly held it up, patting it on his father's back with one hand.

Father Zhang didn't spit out anything, he put his head on Tianci's arm weakly, his lips squirmed, as if he had something to say.

Tianci hurriedly put his head on it, only to hear Father Zhang say in a very weak voice: "Please let them avoid it first, I have something to tell you." ”

After Tianci motioned for everyone to stand back with his eyes, he said to his father, "Dad, what do you want to say?"

"Baby, Dad is very happy, you have cleared your father's name, Dad can leave innocently, go to see your mother, tell her that the wolf cub has grown up now, let her rest assured. ”

When Tianci heard this, tears fell like rain, and he couldn't cry anymore.

"Baby, don't cry, my father is already a man of flowers, and he will die without regrets. Dad has worked hard until now, just waiting for you to come back and tell you a big thing. ”

Tianci endured his grief, held his breath, and listened carefully to what his father said.

"Wolf boy, you are not my own son to your mother. You are the baby I picked up from the woods. ”

When Tianci heard this, he was shocked, and he couldn't help but hold his breath and listen to Father Zhang's words slowly.

"I went hunting in the mountains that year, and I happened to find you in the wolf's den, which was less than 3 months old. Strangely, you were raised by that wild wolf, and you were very good at your bones. Daddy is very surprised that you are a demon who wants to abandon it, and does not want to find something from you again. As he spoke, Father Zhang took something from his neck and handed it to God.

Tianci took a look, it was a group of rough hemp rope tied with a copper pendant, the front was a birthday old man, the back was engraved with the four big words "prolong life", the workmanship was simple, not like anything rare.

"There is a piece of jade in this copper skin, this treasure is by no means owned by the people, the jade is carved with a double fish pattern, this pattern is the first family in addition to the royal family, the emblem of the Yuwen family. ”

Father Zhang took a breath, paused, and continued: "Yuwenbo is still the former prime minister of the dynasty, the founder of the country, and he is a figure who is wise in the sky, admired by all the people, and relied on by the society, but he doesn't want the Yuwen family to be convicted of treason by the emperor of the current dynasty, and he was beheaded by the whole family, which will affect the nine clans." This thing is on you, I don't know what your relationship is with the Yuwen family?"

"My father was afraid that the loyal ministers would be cut off from my hands, so he took you back to raise. It's just that I hide this festival in my heart, and I don't dare to talk about it with outsiders, even your mother is covered in your bones. After Father Zhang said this, he had no strength and tilted his head on the arm of God.

Tianci was very surprised when he heard this, and picked out the copper pendant with his hand, and saw that there was a crystal clear jade with a pattern of Pisces playing in the water, which was very exquisite.

Father Zhang opened his eyes again, and said with the last trace of strength: "Yuwen family, now there is only one Yuwen Haotian left, but it is a rebel and thief who is being pursued and arrested by the current dynasty, and has fled to the northern region, if you ...... If...... If you have a chance, you can find him, and maybe you can ...... Yes, find out...... Your background. After saying this, Zhang's father died of anger and passed away.

Tianci hugged his father's body and cried loudly, only to feel a sense of grief and anger surging in his chest, and he was in pain.

Mu Yang and Zhao Jian came in when they heard the voice, and when they saw that Zhang's father was dead, they also cried loudly, and for a while, everyone couldn't cry and was overwhelmed with grief.

Everyone cried, carried Zhang's father's body out of the prison, and transported Zhang's father's body back to the mountain behind Qingmu Village with Tianci, and buried it with Tianci's mother.

After the burial, Tianci knelt in front of his parents' grave and swore: "The Wang family's dog wealth colluded with the dog county order, first harmed my mother, and then killed my father, this revenge is not shared with the sky, do not kill the two to avenge my father's mother, I swear not to be a man!"

Tianci got up and thanked Mu Yang and Zhao Jian: "Thank you two brothers and sisters for your help, after the brothers have avenged the family feud, they will definitely serve the life and death of the two to thank them for their great kindness." ”

The two hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other, saying that revenge should be taken into the long term and not reckless.

Zhao Jian said: "The Wang family is the son-in-law of the Pan family, the defense envoy of Tongyuan County, who has heavy troops. When I go back for my brother, I will persuade the king of Zhenxi to send troops to take Tongyuan City, and then I will be able to fight for my brother's blood. ”

Tianci was noncommittal, but said: "I want to keep filial piety for my father and mother for seven days here, so as to fulfill the filial piety of my son." You don't have to worry about me, and go back first, and I'll come back to discuss a long-term plan with you later. ”

When the two heard him say this, they were a little relieved, so they said goodbye to Tianci and returned to Tongyuan City.
