Chapter 101: Escape from Death
As night fell, the spring breeze was warm. The moon branches are full of stars.
Although Wu County is a small town, it is also said to have a curfew. Today's death case in the county town, not only Wu County made a fuss, but even Longping Mansion was also alarmed, it turned out that someone actually intended to murder the court official.
Zhou Laohan pushed his wheelbarrow and hurried home, not daring to stay on the street before curfew at this moment. Once caught by the government, it will be eaten by the board. Zhou Laohan has no children and no daughters, and he is alone, but he is a well-known craftsman, and the baskets he weaves in his hands and the children's toys are all bought by rich families! It is a pity that Zhou Laohan is old and dizzy, and he can't produce much in a day, otherwise he would not have to worry about food and clothing with this craft.
Zhou Laohan pushed the car into the alley, and arrived at the door of the house after a while. took the key from his waist, opened the lock and pushed the door open, but Zhou Laohan was startled. By the moonlight, Zhou Laohan saw the door of his house open. Zhou Laohan turned around and pushed the cart into the yard, put down the cart and ran to the grass house. He had worked hard for many years to save a few taels of silver and a few pennies, but he was buried in the house.
When I entered the house, I saw that the house was in disarray, and the jar for grain and the cabinet for clothes were overturned. Zhou Laohan groped for the oil lamp and found the sickle, lit the lamp and looked at the ground busily. After reading it, I was immediately relieved, and there were no traces of excavation on the ground. for his money was buried in the ground in front of his bed.
Zhou Laohan cleaned up, then went out of the house to close the courtyard door, shook his head and sighed as he walked: "Hey, the thieves of these years have not even let go of the poor, and the people's hearts are not ancient!" Zhou Laohan bolted the door and went to the grass stack at the root of the wall to pick up firewood and grass, ready to make a fire to cook. But when he picked up a handful of hay next to the edge of the haystack, he saw a pair of legs leaking out.
Zhou Laohan was so shocked that he sat on the ground, and couldn't help but tremble and beat a drum in his heart. What kind of thing is this? How can someone in my own family hide in a haystack for no reason?
Zhou Laohan was calm, got up and walked over tremblingly, and kicked lightly on his legs that were leaking outside, but there was no response!' Zhou Laohan suddenly became afraid. How is this good? If the government knows about this, it will have to be imprisoned. Zhou Laohan was so anxious that he walked around the yard, and finally stabilized his mind and made up his mind: 'Report to the official'!
Zhou Laohan hurriedly cleaned up the firewood and grass on the ground and covered his legs again, then turned around and opened the door and strode towards the street.
Because it was just dark, it was not yet curfew, and there were no soldiers patrolling the streets. Zhou Laohan hurriedly ran in the direction of the county yamen, and finally arrived at the yamen. I saw two teams of soldiers standing at the gate of the county yamen, each holding a torch in his hand and a waist knife on his waist. Zhou Laohan walked a few steps and was out of breath when he arrived at the gate.
When a soldier saw Zhou Laohan, he shouted: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Laohan ran all the way, where could he still talk, panting and said: "Kill... Kill... Kill...!"
The soldier was startled, and hurriedly comforted: "You can rest for a while." ”
Zhou Laohan finally took a breath and hurriedly said, "Kill... Kill... Human!"
When the soldier heard this, he said, "You wait here, and I will report it." After saying this, he turned around and ran into the yamen.
At this time, Yin Wang Xiyuan, the governor of Longping Prefecture, was in the county office, and Wu County had already sent people to report to Wang Xiyuan after this major incident. And Wang Xiyuan is the governor of Longping Mansion, and Wu County is under the rule of Longping Mansion. Moreover, it was the assassination of the Jiangnan political envoy, and Wang Xiyuan brought hundreds of Longping officials and city soldiers to protect the city, and hurried to Wu County.
When Zhou Laohan was brought into the yamen lobby, Wang Xiyuan asked the original carefully, and then took people to Zhou Laohan's house with the psychology of hitting the luck. When the official carried Da Kui out of the haystack, he saw that Da Kui's face was already swollen, his face was purple and black, and he was no longer alive. Wang Xiyuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered someone to send Da Kui to the back house of the county yamen, and invited Lang Zhong from the county.
Lang Zhong came, shook his head after checking Da Kui's pulse, and Wang Xiyuan hurriedly came to ask about his condition. Lang Zhong sighed and said: "This official has a strange poison in his body, and the poison has penetrated into the bones. I'm afraid ......!"
"Huh?" Wang Xiyuan heard this, as if his body had been drained of his muscles and bones, and the yacha around him hurriedly supported him so that Wang Xiyuan would not sit on the ground. Wang Xiyuan muttered in his mouth: "Once something happens to Lord Zhang, I, Wang Xiyuan, will not be able to escape the blame." How is this good?" sighed, and sighed sadly.
Maybe when Lang Zhong spoke with a big gasp, then Lang Zhong said: "But it's not all impossible!"
When Wang Xiyuan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is the law?" ”
Lang Zhong held the eight-character Hu in his hand and said slowly: "There is an old ginseng in the villain's house, although it cannot detoxify, it can continue to ...... life." ”
Wang Xiyuan hurriedly said: "It's good to be able to keep it for a while, bring it quickly." ”
Lang Zhong was embarrassed and said: "My lord, this mountain ginseng was handed down by the ancestor of the villain, but this is ......." ”
Wang Xiyuan said cleanly: "How much silver is paid by the official, you go and get it quickly!"
Lang Zhong asked, "One hundred taels of silver, what do you think?" Wang Xiyuan nodded hurriedly, how could there be any hesitation at this time?
Lang Zhong smiled awkwardly and said: "This mountain ginseng is for emergencies, so the villain has always been with him." As he spoke, he opened the medicine box by the bed, took out a long wooden box from the box, and opened the wooden box again. There is really a mountain ginseng in the wooden box, but this mountain ginseng is only slightly thicker than chopsticks, but where is it worth a hundred taels?
Wang Xiyuan couldn't care so much, so he hurriedly called the life stove to prepare the decoction.
When the ginseng soup was boiled and the maid fed Da Kui to drink it in one sip, Wang Xiyuan asked Lang Zhong again: "This ginseng is so small, how can it work?"
Lang Zhong groaned: "This adult, don't worry, this bowl of ginseng soup will definitely last for three or five days." In these seven days, you need to find a famous doctor to come to treat you, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no way to return to heaven!"
When Wang Xiyuan heard this, he hurriedly turned around the room, and said, "Where can I find a miracle doctor?"
Lang Zhong smiled mysteriously and said, "The villain knows one person." ”
Wang Xiyuan asked anxiously, "Who is it quickly?"
Lang Zhong said: "This person lives in Taohua Town, eight hundred miles north of Longping Mansion, and is known for his magic rejuvenation technique, and his Taoist name is Linghui. ”
Wang Xiyuan couldn't help but be in trouble, and he only had five days. It usually takes three days to come and go on this road, so what if the Venerable Master goes out or refuses to come?
The voice fell, and there was a cry outside the door: "Husband~!" but Huang Ying heard the message and brought someone over.
It turned out that as soon as Wang Xiyuan arrived in Wu County, he ordered the captain with the troops to lead the city soldiers to Zhangfu. When the city soldiers arrived, there was a bloody battle of swords and swords in Zhang's mansion. Fortunately, Meng Ge and Yang Xiaohu, Pan Bu, Tian Feng, Zhou Kai and more than ten people in the house blocked the door of the front house and the back house and fought hard with dozens of black-clothed swordsmen. Although Panbu was stabbed three times, he would rather die than retreat, and the city soldiers rushed behind the black-clothed bandits, and immediately killed these dozens of black-clothed swordsmen, and each escaped from Zhang's mansion.
Zhang's mansion was relieved of the crisis, and everyone panicked when they learned the news of Zhang Dakui's disappearance. Master Feng still has some opinions, and now he arranged for people to go separately to find .......
