Chapter 49 The Tragedy in Shangyuan County

Bu Qiusheng, the word Jin Gong, a native of Suining, Sichuan, a five-year jinshi of the Apocalypse, once served as a Xinye County Cheng, Chongzhen was transferred to Shangyuan County for four years, and was deeply valued by Xu Wenjue, the Duke of Wei.

In addition to official duties, Bu Qiusheng used these nine years to write the "Guide to Six Books" and "Ancient Relics", and he is also a rare scholar in the hearts of Jiangnan scholars.

Feeling that there was no hope for promotion in this life, Bu Qiusheng had the idea of compiling the "Shangyuan County Chronicles", but in order to become such a document, it was necessary to expound Zhongshan, Tianyin Mountain, the great river, the origin of the mountains, the origin of the waters, as well as the Shangyuan territory, the city, the party office, the mountains and rivers, the situation, and the customs...... Not one person can do it.

However, once such a document is written, it will be remembered for centuries.

Bu Qiusheng has money, but he has no future, at this moment, the person who is seeking is the four words of this century.

When the sky was dark, Bu Qiusheng had already had breakfast, came to the study, spread out a blank piece of paper, and took advantage of the early morning when he was refreshed, he picked up the pen and wrote down the four strong characters of 'One Yuan Returns to the Beginning'.

Among the calligraphy, he likes Cai Jing's big list book the most, and there is also Cai Jing's handwriting at home, as long as there is kung fu, please come out to copy, and now, although his pen power has not reached the level of Cai Jing's crown and possession, few matches, it is also regarded as having this person's three-point appearance.

The words written today are full of spirit, thick pen and ink, and dignified font, Bu Qiusheng can't help but take it in his hand and look at it carefully, and he is extraordinary.

"Knock knock knock ......" A rapid drum sound, Bu Qiusheng's hands shook, and a large crack suddenly cracked on the ink treasure that had not yet dried.

Bu Qiusheng was furious!

Bu Qiusheng, who had changed into his official uniform, came to the lobby with a sinking face, and regardless of the Shangyuan County head catcher standing under the hall, he slapped the hall and said, "Who is in the hall to complain?" ”

He Shaofu, the head catcher, hurriedly arched his hand and said: "County Zun, there is a big mess." ”

Bu Qiusheng said irritably: "Are those Diao people making trouble again?" What are you raising this bunch of waste for, and don't disperse these people quickly. ”

He Shaopu hurriedly said: "Qiyu County Zun, it is not the people who are clamoring, but there is a tragedy, the eleven members of the family of Wang Ruda, the head of Shangjiali, were killed, the house was burned, and his three sons and one daughter disappeared without a trace. ”

Bu Qiusheng said disapprerovingly: "A murder case, is it also worth letting you beat the drum to urge the hall to disturb the official?" The case is out, the case is solved, you and the county Cheng, the master book just have the idea. ”

After a few hurried orders, Bu Qiusheng was ready to return to the study and continue his great literary career.

He Shaofu raised his voice and said: "County Zun, the murderer is at the scene, and so far, he has not woken up drunk. ”

"Oh? Then they will be arrested and brought to justice, detained in a big prison, and after the verdict of this official, they will be beheaded immediately. ”

"County honor, murderer ......"

Bu Qiusheng looked at He Shaofu, who had finished half of his words, suspiciously, and said irritably: "Finish the words in one breath." ”

The sweat on He Shaofu's forehead was dripping down, and he stammered: "This matter is related to the Wei State Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion." ”

"What? Is there any evidence? ”

Bu Qiusheng was stunned when he heard this, it was a trivial matter between the Wei State Mansion and the Cheng State Mansion, and a little irritability was suddenly thrown out of the clouds by him.

"He Cao, the leader of the armor of the Duke of Wei, and Zhang Biao, the head of the guards of the Duke of Chengguo, are naked. Drunk and fell at the scene, their hands stained with blood, and most of the burned women's bodies were defenseless, and the younger ones thought that the two leaders were drunk...... Troublemaker......"

"Bring them back quickly, and let no one know."

Bu Qiusheng quieted down, his mind was already tumbling, thinking about how to suppress this matter, and finally the big thing turned into a small thing, and a small thing turned into a small thing.

He Shaofu smiled bitterly: "There are hundreds of onlookers!" ”

"Idiot!"

Bu Qiusheng roared angrily, and said: "Prepare the sedan car, forget it, prepare the car, let's go to the scene." ”

Shangjiali is not far from the county government, half an hour later, Bu Qiusheng has already arrived at the scene, first looked at He Cao, who was still naked and still slick by the angry villagers tied to the trunk of the tree, Zhang Biao, seeing that although the two of them were bruised, they were not worried about their lives, and Wu Zi scolded and threatened the villagers to let them down, otherwise, they would kill all these poor ghosts.

Bu Qiusheng's hanging heart fell to the ground, casually glanced at the pile of ruins that were still smoking, let the officials squeeze out a way from the crowd, and slowly walked into the scene with square steps.

There were eleven corpses neatly placed on the ground, both men and women, and men were just men, except for the scorched black faces burned by the fire, that is, the scene of broken intestines was nothing, but the two female corpses were defenseless, their heads and faces were also scorched, and their bodies full of scars were exposed to broad daylight, and their hands and feet were broken and twisted in strange postures.

The smell of barbecued meat combined with the smell of feces on the corpses made me feel sick.

Bu Qiusheng retched, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and whispered to He Shaofu: "Zhaoli is coming over." ”

He Shaofu pointed to the corpse of one of the old men and said, "County Zun, it was the Lizheng family who died." ”

Bu Qiusheng looked around, looking at the foolish people who kept shouting at him, 'Please ask the eldest master to be the master of the people', and his irritability rose again, and said to He Shaofu: "If you don't go to the coffin shop to ask for the coffin, what kind of system will the male and female corpses be exposed to in broad daylight!" ”

Soon two officials ran away.

Bu Qiusheng pointed to the two people who were tied to the tree by the people and said, "Loosen the escort prison and strictly guard it." ”

He Cao, who was still tied to the tree, said with a smile: "Bu Qiusheng, let me tell you, this matter was not done by grandpa, grandpa just passed by here drunk and drunk, let grandpa go, today at noon, I have to accompany my grandfather to Zhongshan to watch the red leaves, delaying my grandfather's travel, you know what the end is." ”

Bu Qiusheng looked at this fool who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and wanted to let someone block one of his stinky mouths, but he heard Zhang Biao tied to another tree say: "My grandfather is also going to Zhongshan to watch the red leaves, Bu Qiusheng, let me go quickly, find me clothes to cover my body, these Diao people took advantage of my grandfather's hangover and stripped off my clothes, and there is a jade pendant among them, you have to chase me back." ”

As soon as the two of them said this, Bu Qiusheng knew that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, a stone flew out of the crowd and smashed accurately on Zhang Biao's mouth, knocking out Zhang Biao's two teeth for a while.

"The dog official is used to shielding and killing these two villains to avenge the tragic death of Wang Ruda's family!"

Before the words fell, a group of onlookers, regardless of men, women and children, picked up stones together and threw them at He Cao, Zhang Biao, and the stones were like rain for a while.

"Disperse these people!"

Bu Qiusheng shouted, He Shaofu took a cadre of officials to talk about the wooden stick and iron chain in his hand, and smashed it at the people, who were the opponents of these officials, and the beaten heads were bleeding and fled in embarrassment.

The officials dispersed the people, and they didn't chase after them, and hurriedly untied He Cao and Zhang Biao from the tree, only to find that these two people had been smashed by the troubled times.

He Cao, who finally recovered his breath, said to Bu Qiusheng intermittently while vomiting blood: "You're done." ”

Bu Qiusheng said angrily: "You rushed into the house while you were drunk, killed people and robbed people, the evidence is conclusive, and you dare to talk nonsense here, do you think that your life will not last?" ”

He Biao spit out another tooth and said: "We didn't do it, and we don't know why we are here, Bu Qiusheng, I will definitely report this matter to my grandfather, and ask my grandfather to give us justice." ”

Bu Qiusheng was even more angry, pointing to their bloodstained hands and scratching marks all over his body: "If such evidence does not convict you, there will be no evidence in this world.

Now, obediently shut your stinky mouth, and the official will inform the two grandfathers to condemn you, no matter how much you are valued by the grandfather, you really think that the grandfather will protect you if you commit such a heinous crime. “

He Cao, Zhang Biao listened to Bu Qiusheng's words, shivered in unison, looked at the miserable appearance of the scene, and tried to recall whether he had done such an evil thing.

My head was blank, so I had to obediently put on the clothes handed over by the officials, and was carried into the carriage, and the group hurriedly returned to the county office.

Peng Guoshu stood in the crowd and witnessed everything that happened here.

The bodies of Wang Ruda's family had been put into thin-skinned coffins by the officials and dragged by ox carts to a mass grave in the distance.

Only a few bold villagers were left pointing at the only remaining ruins of the Wang family, and their tones were full of false pity for watching the excitement, without any sense of grief and indignation that their kind had been injured.

"That's it?" After listening to Peng Guoshu's description, Zhou Guoping felt a little incredible.

"The people here are accustomed to treating the Wei Mansion as God, and they know that no matter how they resist, it is useless, and the desire for revenge is slowly fading."

Tan Boming frowned and said, "Then let's start the second scene." ”

Zhang Feng said: "I didn't expect that the Wei State Mansion would be so domineering in Shangyuan County, and it was in vain that we tried our best to find eleven villains to gather these eleven corpses......"

Zhou Guoping said: "According to the plan, He Cao, Zhang Biao will die today, I'll carry it out." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said to Peng Guoshu: "I want to control a county." ”

Peng Guoshu glanced at Tan Boming and Zhang Feng, the three of them looked at each other, and then said to Zhou Guoping: "Why are you suffering?" ”

Zhou Guoping sighed; "It seems that I really did something wrong, it's time to atone for my sins, thank you brothers for giving me this opportunity."

Sending Zhou Guoping away, the other three returned to the room, Tan Boming said: "With He Cao, Zhang Biao destroyed the two county orders, the county Cheng Zhuoba, the chief secretary was promoted, and Shi Kefa appointed two of us as the chief secretary of Shangyuan and Jiangning counties, this step should not be too big." ”

Peng Guoshu said: "It depends on Shi Kefa's real influence in Jiangnan's generation, if his influence is big enough to avenge Wang Ruda's family, it makes sense for us to do such a thing, otherwise, we will be busy in vain." ”

Zhang Feng suddenly said: "Wang Ruda's family has gone away now, right?" I promised Wang He to send his family to Lantian County safely. “

Peng Guoshu said lightly: "If you go with the caravan, it's okay!" ”
