Chapter 121: Heartbreaking Past
Zhou Fei cut the messy hair on his forehead and told Cunyi a painful past. In order to avoid the pursuit of Jinyi Guard, he came to a remote and treacherous forest in a panic, this forest is called the Black Wind Forest, according to the local people, there are many tigers, leopards, jackals, road bandits and robbers. It was getting dark, and there were rumors from the people, and when he came to this forest, he was indeed frightened and uneasy. Just as Zhou Fei was about to turn around and leave, a whistle suddenly sounded, and then a net firmly covered him. When he couldn't move, three people came out of the forest, the leader was a one-eyed dragon, there was a crescent scar in the corner of his left eye, his evil eyes were wide open, and he looked very terrible. After searching Zhou Fei's baggage for a while, he didn't find any silver, so he angrily raised his knife and slashed at him. At the moment of life and death, another team of people arrived, and Zhou Fei fainted in a state of panic.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, with a kind old man standing beside him. Zhou Fei learned that the old man repelled the bandits regardless of the danger, and hurriedly bowed down to the ground. The old man hurriedly helped Zhou Fei up and said to him: "Old Lu Changqing is an outsider of this Lujiazhuang, the son can recuperate with peace of mind in my village, and the strongman does not dare to come to my village to make trouble." ”
Zhou Fei was grateful and raised Admiral Zhuang outside the Lu Yuan for ten days. When he recovered from his injuries and was about to leave his job, the family helped in a dying scholar with a bloody face from outside. I saw that the Lu Soldier was busy rescuing the wounded and could not be disturbed, so I got up and took his leave.
When Cunyi and Yufeng heard this, they saw Zhou Fei's face full of tears, and they thought that something might have happened to Lu Yuanwai. The matter was indeed as expected by the two, Lu Yuanwai helped the needy, but he didn't think that what he saved this time was a Zhongshan wolf.
It turned out that after Lu Yuanwai rescued Zhou Fei, the thieves Ma Gang, Ma Qiang, and the two brothers held a grudge, and they had been waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge. Finally, a month later, let them wait for a wonderful opportunity, the previous scholar, when the Lu family celebrated the birthday banquet for the old man, he wrote a poem, and it was this poem that caused the old man's family to die.
Cunyi and Yufeng listened and asked puzzledly: "I don't know what that poem is written, it actually cost the life of the old man." ”
At this time, Zhou Fei's cheeks flowed with tears, and his clenched fists were full of anger. He said to Cunyi: "That scholar's poetry is like this, the Lu family is handsome, and the weather is good. Outside the wilderness, there is no time to worry. ”
After Yufeng listened, Liubo's dewy eyes were full of doubts, and she said to Zhou Fei: "Brother Zhou, this poem is very ordinary, and I don't see anything special." ”
Zhou Fei said to her: "Miss Feng, if you follow the law of finding the first word in the first line, you can discover the mystery in the poem." ”
Yufeng followed Zhou Fei's instructions, and after reading it out word by word, it was "Lu Changqing is reversed". A look of astonishment appeared on her face. Yufeng said: "If it weren't for Brother Zhou's reminder, I really don't know what the poem refers to." ”
Zhou Fei nodded, and what he said next was like a thunderbolt, shaking the hearts of the two. That scholar is none other than Qian Jin, the current prefect of Huangshi. Cunyi and Yufeng looked at each other, both feeling incredulous. Qian Jin was injured by the thieves, and it was Lu Yuanwai who saved him, so why did he want to take revenge for his kindness, could it be that he had a grudge against Lu Yuanwai? Cunyi thought about it, Lu Yuanwai was willing to be kind and charitable, so that the family of good people would not have grudges with others, and this must have coveted the family assets of the outside of the staff and set a bitter plan.
Cunyi's analysis is reasonable, which makes Zhou Fei very appreciative. During the conversation, he also asked Zhou Fei if he would visit Lu Yuanwai's house again later? Zhou Fei told Cunyi that it was precisely because he was grateful for Lu Yuanwai's life-saving grace that when he visited Lu Yuanwai again, he learned that Yuanwai had suffered a great disaster. It's a pity that this is already a year later, things are not people, the Lu Mansion where the people of Zhuean Biwa were full of people in the past, and now the ruined walls and decayed grass and smoke.
Speaking of the injury, Zhou Fei exchanged tears, and Cunyi comforted him from the side. Knowing that Lu Yuan's family had suffered a catastrophe, Cunyi and Yufeng were not only embarrassed and sad, but also deepened their resentment towards Qian Jin in their hearts. Now Cunyi still has doubts in his heart, that is, what is the relationship between the fake prisoner and the Lu family?
Zhou Fei told Cunyi that after the accident at his family, he had been struggling to find his family. Recently, when he visited the government at night, he saw a young man carrying a knife into the house to stab Qian Jin, and was arrested by Feng Kai. When I flew down to the eaves to help, he took the opportunity to hand over the account book to me. Unexpectedly, all this was a trap for money to enter.
Cunyi said to Zhou Fei: "Brother, it must be that there was an omission in our plan, and it was discovered by Qian Jin, because he came up with a serial plan, first designed to arrest me, then killed Feng Kai, and finally used your feelings for Lu Yuanwai to plot against you with a tomboy." ”
Everything is logical, Zhou Fei sighed: "If I analyze the tomboy more, I won't fall for him." ”
Yufeng persuaded: "Brother Zhou, it's not your fault. What is hateful is that the prefect Qian Jin, using people's emotional weaknesses to set up this poisonous scheme, you are a person who values love and righteousness, once you know that there are descendants outside the Lu Yuan, of course, you don't have to think about it. ”
Zhou Fei saw that Yufeng was free of himself, and said to Cunyi with a smile: "My brother-in-law is empathetic, and it is really a match made in heaven with my righteous brother." ”
Yufeng saw Zhou Fei making fun of herself, her face was shy, and her face was charming and charming. She lowered her head and fiddled with her sword spike, and sat silently beside Cunyi. After a moment of silence, Zhou Fei suddenly frowned, and spat out a thick stream of blood from his mouth.
Cunyi saw that Zhou Fei's face was pale, this was a sign of qi condensation and blood stagnation, it must be that he was in the law field, and he was injured by the sneak attack of the tomboy.
Cunyi hurriedly took out the calming qi pill from his arms, and then he comforted Zhou Fei that during the period of exercise healing, he must no longer work hard to hurt his mind, so as not to reverse his true qi and go crazy. Zhou Fei took the calming qi pill and recited silently in his mouth: "The essence is the jade flower, the qi is the golden flower, and the god is the nine flowers." Meditation dissolves essence, and the eight veins are unobstructed. "The three flowers gather to get the essence of nature, the mystery of the universe, and it is very beneficial to the cultivation of internal strength. After Zhou Fei meditated and exercised, he felt that his qi was much smoother.
By the time the sun rose on the second day, Zhou Fei's injuries were no longer serious. Cunyi was naturally overjoyed, this time Zhou Fei was alone and almost lost his life, which made Cunyi's heart feel guilty. Thinking that his brother had stepped forward many times when he was in danger, this time he vowed to advance and retreat with Zhou Fei. Zhou Fei saw that Cunyi's mind had been decided, and he no longer said much to persuade him, this time he made a big fuss in the court, and Cunyi beat the fake boy to death on the spot, which really made Qian Jin frightened. He posted the arrest notice at the gate of the city, painted a portrait of the old man and the old woman, and sent the arrester to the restaurant and inn to investigate and secretly visit.
Those who were found to be suspicious were arrested and locked up and imprisoned. For a while, people were panicked, and the bustling market suddenly became much colder. The arrested people were imprisoned and tortured for no reason, and the money went into the mouths of these prisoners, and they did not ask for any clues about the pair of women.
The investigator didn't have a clue, and Qian Jin, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, was afraid of retaliation, so he invited two personal guards.
These two people have eagle-eyed jackals and a fierce face, but they are the same as Qian Jin. These two men wore large hats with wide brims all day long, and did not say a word, and they did not follow them when the money went in and out. They are hidden and always appear at critical moments, so no one knows where they come from.
With the protection of the two murderers, Qian Jin temporarily swept away the horror on his face, but the lack of virtue he did was too much to write, and he often woke up in his dreams in the middle of the night. I dreamed of Lu Yuanwai, and I dreamed of the people of Chenzhou who were killed by him. Qian couldn't sleep at night, and he pondered every place where there might be a mistake. Suddenly, the name Black Wind Forest flashed in his mind again, and then the name of a person pulled him back into fear.
This person is Ma Gang's younger brother Ma Qiang, after this guy killed the county order, he impersonated and mixed into the county office. In case his identity is revealed, he will inevitably not tell the evil things of the past under Miki, and then I, the prefect, will die.
Anger rises from the heart, and evil grows to the guts. Qian Jin didn't stop doing anything, and sent a killer to Qinglin County to assassinate Ma Qiang. That night, the dark clouds overwhelmed the sky, the moon disappeared and the stars were hidden, and the howling wind raged in the Black Wind Forest. Ma Qiang passed by the path by the forest in a sedan chair, and suddenly a man dressed in black and wearing a large hat blocked his way.
Ma Qiang was born as a thief, and when someone robbed the road, he laughed loudly: "Lao Tzu has been a thief for half his life, and someone dares to run in front of me to pick a tiger's beard, it's just impatient." ”
Ma Qiang said, and a fierce tiger jumped into the abyss and pounced in front of the hat-fighter. The hat-bearer is holding a tiger-headed broadsword, dancing vigorously and windy, and the murderous spirit is thundering. Seeing Ma Qiang's evil tiger punching him, the hat-taker was unhurried, he shook his body lightly, turned over with a move of the spirit python, and skillfully avoided it. Then he stepped on Taiyi steps, the golden knife cut off life and death, and the tiger's head and big knife in his hand swept in the wind, cutting off Ma Qiang's head.
The cold light flashed, life and death were decided, Ma Qiang was caught off guard, and his soul was broken under the tiger head knife of the hat man. The hatper took out the golden hairpin and silk handkerchief from his bosom, used it to wipe the blood stains on the knife, and then he threw the handkerchief on Ma Qiang's body. Dark clouds rolled and thunder and lightning flashed, and the hats disappeared into the dark night before the storm came.
Heavy footsteps sounded in the forest again, and Ma Gang saw Ma Qiang who had fallen to the side of the road, and he roared angrily. The whistling wind and the roar mingled with a sudden whimper. Ma Qiang picked up the silk handkerchief and held it tightly in his hand. He said viciously: "Golden sword, I will not let you go." ”
Qian Jin saw Heisha come back, holding the buckle in his hand, knowing that Ma Qiang had been killed by him. Qian Jin smiled fiercely on his face, and waited for him to ask Heisha carefully, but he had torn up the file of the year, and Heisha shook his head expressionlessly. He told Qian Jin that he had not received the money for destroying the file.
Qian Jin was ashamed and angry, threw a wad of silver tickets on Heisha, and ordered him to return to Qinglin County.
