Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Haunted County Office

Tyumen showed his sincere eyes as much as possible: "Don't be discouraged by yourself, believe me, you will definitely fight on the battlefield again and make a name for yourself." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly: "I know my own affairs best, since the death of my son, I have been disheartened, and I can't wait to go with him, now I just live one day at a time, I don't know when I will be drunk in the wine vat, what else do you say about the famous history?" ”

Qiu Ming sighed, it seems that he still doesn't have enough skills, how did that Liu Pan get Huang Zhong right, I must ask for advice or two if I have the opportunity.

Just when Tyuming was entangled, Wei Yan had already beaten the yellow scarves that came to the attack, and the guards rushed up, and they actually wiped out all the yellow scarves, and none of them escaped. Wei Yanxing asked how to deal with these yellow turbans, and Qiu Ming said without thinking: "The yellow turban thieves have brought disaster to the country and the people, so cut them all." ”

Those yellow scarves began to shout: "Acquaintances quickly release grandpa, otherwise when our brigade comes, there will be no bloody Dengzhou chickens and dogs." When Wei Yan cut off his two heads, he all cried again: "Grandpa, ancestor, father, we are not yellow scarves, we are not yellow scarves, we are the family members of the Peng family in Gaowa Town outside the city." ”

The old pawn was startled, ran over and asked a few words, and said to Qiu Ming: "Qiu Xian Cheng, these are really people from the Peng family, they were ordered by the head of the Peng family to pretend to be yellow turbans to rob the place, and they are not really yellow turban thieves. ”

Tyuming said with a straight face: "I don't care what a real yellow scarf is a fake yellow scarf, only a dead yellow scarf is a good yellow scarf." What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and kill it clean, let's go into the city to rest. ”

As soon as he cut a few more, someone outside the city shouted: "Leave people under the knife", and then I saw a few horses rushing from the direction from which this group of fake yellow scarves came. When he came to the nearest place, the first person in Xianyi said angrily: "Who dares to kill the people of my Peng family", a big man who looked like a domestic slave next to him raised his horsewhip and slashed it high, and a deep blood mark immediately appeared on the body of the guards on the road.

Qiu Ming said angrily: "Beheaded", Wei Yan did not draw his gun, only bullied forward with a short knife, and only when he was closed, the head of the house slave rose to the sky, and the body fell off the horse.

The old pawn was shocked: "Kill, can't kill, they are from the Peng family, and that is the eldest son of the head of the Peng family." ”

The son of the Peng family came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt in a menacing manner, but he was suddenly drenched in blood, and his face changed greatly: "You, you dare to kill my people?" ”

Qiu Ming slowly walked to the row of kneeling fake yellow scarves, took the short knife in Wei Yan's hand, cut off a head and held it in his hand, and said loudly: "Peng family? Haven't heard of it? How are you compared to the Du family in Wancheng? The army is full of chickens and dogs, what is the point of killing a few of your family? If you say half a word more, you will be cut down. ”

The son of the Peng family saw that Qiu Ming's eyebrows and eyes were blurred with flesh and blood, and he couldn't help but vomit, but he didn't dare to say anything after all. After a while, the vicinity of the city was full of people watching the excitement, watching those fake yellow scarves being chopped off one by one, and half of the moat was stained red with blood, and the autumn wind was blowing, and no one dared to make a sound.

Arranged for the guards to bury the corpses and clean the city gates, Qiu Mingli also ignored the son of the Peng family, who was shaking like chaff, and directly led the army into the city, and the people in the city walked away one after another, as if they were lined up in a long line to welcome him.

Chen Zhen lowered his voice and asked the old man who led the way: "What is the origin of this Peng family, how dare you be so arrogant?" ”

The old man sighed: "The three major evils in Dengzhou, Peng Long, Wang Hu, Aunt Lu, the first harm is Peng Long, the head of the Peng family. There are quite a few people in his clan who are officials in the court, and a younger brother has also become the governor of other counties, so the Peng family has privately and privately stored domestic slaves in the local area, and there are many illegal things, but no one dares to take care of it. ”

The county seat of Dengzhou is very small, and after a while, I came to the county office, only to see the gatehouse and the house in dilapidation. The old pawn said: "He County Ling and Cui County Lieutenant both have other residences in the city, I don't know if Qiu County Cheng wants to find another place to live?" ”

Qiu Ming smiled: "I am a newcomer, I don't know the rules, and I don't know what the county is to live. ”

Chen Zhen said: "There is a rule in the imperial court that the princes of the counties must live in the official office and handle daily affairs on behalf of the chief officials of the department. ”

Qiu Ming nodded: "Then I will live here as usual, Feng Xiaowen, you go to find a place to settle down." ”

The old man wanted to speak and stopped, but finally spoke: "Qiu County Cheng doesn't know, this county office is a bit weird, and most of the previous county officials don't live here. ”

Wei Yan smiled: "What a strange method? Let's hear it. ”

The old man said: "The former county commander was greedy for money, and he handled several unjust cases, and since then it has been rumored that there are voices shouting injustice in the county office in the middle of the night. Nowadays, I have heard the county order a few times, and then I gradually stopped coming to the county office to work, and only drank and recited poetry at home. In the past two years, there were a few unbelieving county officials who moved in, and they basically died overnight, two hanged themselves, and one was scared to death. ”

Tyumen was born in the new China, grew up in the new era, and mixed in the new century, and can be said to be a staunch atheist armed with proletarian ideology. However, although he did not believe in God, he was afraid of ghosts, and when he heard this old man say such a terrible thing, his heart suddenly beat a drum: "Otherwise, I will go outside with you to find a house." ”

Guo Jia Zhengse said: "The gentleman has the spirit of grandeur and is not afraid of ghosts and gods, Qiuming, you are a person who wants to do great things in the future, if you don't even dare to enter your own official office, it will make people laugh in vain, and if the court investigates it, it will also be troublesome." ”

Qiu Ming cried and said: "But if it is really haunted inside, my life will be in danger immediately, and what will I say in the future." ”

Wei Yan smiled and patted Qiu Ming on the shoulder twice: "Don't worry, we will find a house to live in this neighborhood, if you have anything, call me for a big matter, and I will protect you." ”

Qiu Ming was still frightened, Huang Zhong said: "As a county magistrate, you should have someone to take care of by your side, and I will accompany you to live in the official office." If there are really ghosts and gods, I will also ask him to bring a few words for the deceased son. ”

With the help of the old pawn to make peace, Guo Jia and the others really rented a large courtyard not far from the back hall of the county office. When everyone had settled down, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Tyumen ate something indiscriminately, reclining on the wooden couch and looking straight at the wooden beams in the hall.

Huang Zhong poured the foot-washing water and came in, saw Qiu Ming's appearance, and said with a smile: "What? Discover something out of the ordinary? ”

Qiu Ming pouted and said, "You say, that thick and long wooden beam was not used by some dead ghost when he hanged himself?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Don't think nonsense, go to bed early, the Dengzhou County Order will come back tomorrow, this is the head of the headquarters, you can't let him leave a bad impression as soon as you meet." ”
