The ninth death
Huan Zhen's heart sank, and he quickly supported the two of them slowly, slowly putting them on the ground. He didn't care about exploring Fu Dingchen's condition, so he tried Zhimo's breathing first. He felt that his tentacles were cold and he felt no feeling at all, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Liu Heihu was walking in front, but when he heard Dingchen's scream, he turned around and said in surprise: "I only put a drug on the laziness, why did I do this?" Huan Zhen didn't care about answering, and leaned on Zhimo's chest, unable to hear half a heartbeat. He gradually felt that his body was cold and stiff, and he had been dead for a long time.
Huan Zhen's mind was in chaos, and he let go of his hand in a daze, stood up, took a few steps, muttering to himself, "No, no!" Fu Dingchen woke up, looked at his father's body, suddenly jumped up, grabbed Liu Heihu, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What kind of drug are you using? My father is dead, my father is dead!" Liu Heihu was also confused and didn't know why, so he kicked and beat him without saying a word. Huan Zhen calmed down, pulled Fu Dingchen away, grabbed his wrist, and said in harmony, "Qingzhu, don't worry. Let's figure it out, okay?" Fu Dingchen slowly calmed down, pointed at Liu Heihu hatefully and said, "What else is there to be unclear? It's obvious that he was careless in taking medicine. , Kill my father!" Huan Zhen did not think so, thought for a while, and asked Heihu, "Brother Liu, did you pay attention to what he was doing when you brought Mr. Fu out?" Liu Heihu grabbed the back of his head and said in confusion: "What are you doing? I blew the smoke first, and then I went into the prison. When I went in, I saw him lying on the ground. As for what he was doing, I don't know." Huan Zhen said "ah" and said to Fu Dingchen: "Qingzhu, don't be excited, listen to me slowly. This matter does not seem simple. You should not take your anger on Brother Liu for the time being, let's find out the truth slowly." Fu Dingchen looked angry and glared at Liu Heihu with an eye as if he was about to say something. When his lips moved, he finally didn't say it.
Liu Heihu was so irritable that he could not bear such injustice? He paused and said loudly: "Brother Huan, Brother Fu, if the person surnamed Liu did not find out the truth, he would use my black head to give it to you to pay homage to Mr. Fu!" As he said that, he turned to Guangling without looking back. Huan Zhen only felt that things were wrong, as if everything he saw was not the truth, but he had no evidence to say anything, but he couldn't tell Heihu to come back, so he had to let him go. Fu Dingchen fell to the ground, not crying or screaming, and just looked at his father's body as if he had lost his soul.
Huan Zhen was very afraid that he would be too sad and be crazy, and he didn't know how to comfort him. He hesitated for a while and thought that he would find something for him to do. He pressed his shoulder and said, "Qingzhu, the dead are the ones who have passed away, so he should be buried in peace." Fu Dingchen looked at the ground blankly and murmured, "Be buried in peace? My father is obviously not dead, why should he be buried in the soil?" Huan Zhen was shocked and shouted, "What are you talking about? Mr. Fu's body has long been cold!" Fu Dingchen He shouted, jumped up, slapped himself with his hands, slapped himself in the face, and slapped him with blood. He tried his best to stop and gasped. Huan Zhen sighed, "Guangling can't go back now. We are running for life. With... Mr. Fu's body is very inconvenient, why not..." Fu Dingchen said lightly: "It's better to cremate." Huan Zhen was shocked, but he could snatch his words and had nothing to answer for a moment.
Fu Dingchen sighed to the sky and said, "Please prepare firewood for me, Brother Baili. I want to spend more time with my father." Huan Zhen nodded silently and went to prepare without mentioning it.
He prepared everything, and then he turned to Fu Dingchen. The two of them raised Zhimo's body onto the pile of firewood and lit the fire. Huan Zhen looked at the fire, and prayed in his heart that Fu Zhimo's heroic spirit was blessed. Guangling's servants did not catch up so quickly. I don't know if the two were lucky or if Fu Zhimo was really blessed in the sky, the cremation was completed safely. From beginning to end, Fu Dingchen never shed a tear. Although Huan Zhen was worried for him, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to silently help him pick up bones. In his heart, he always believed that all the changes in the Fu family were from him, so he always felt a little guilty about Fu Dingchen, fearing that something would happen to him, so he would not have the face to see Fu Zhimo even if he died.
The two finished what they should have done. It was getting late. It was already early. Zhou Shichang and Xuexin should have arrived at the Gunfeng Post. Although Liu Heihu was not there, he still had to take the way he should have. Fu Dingchen carried his father's bones and rushed silently along the way, without coming to talk to Huan Zhen. It was not until the final update that he arrived at the post station.
It was beyond Huan Zhen's expectations that Zhou Shichang and Xuexin had not arrived. Others did not know about this matter except Fan Da, but Fan Dayou had gone out, and he could not ask other postmen. He was worried, anxious, and very depressed. After a night, Liu Heihu did not catch up. Huan Zhen wanted to wait to return to Guangling County to check it out, but he didn't know what the situation was in the county town, whether the prison robbery occurred, whether Zeng Fang had gone to the sea to arrest the two of him, and ran away recklessly Going back is really no different from suicide. After thinking about it, I should go back to Lingqiu. At least Jiang Bingcai is there. If he doesn't help, he can find out some news from him and find out where Zhou Shichang's grandson is. He always said that he would do it. Fortunately, the two horses he rode were still in the post office a few days ago. The postman looked at Fan Da's face and was very fed and taken care of. He immediately led the horses and told Fu Dingchen a few words, regardless of whether he had heard in a daze. He drove the horses towards Lingqiu.
This time, he was not lost. He rushed to the county town before he passed. He entered Lingqiu County and saw not many locusts along the way. I thought that Jiang Bingcai had achieved great results in the past few days of locusts, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He did not delay any longer and went straight to the county government office. The distance was far away and heard the crowd of people. He saw a group of villagers gathered at the county government office. The yamen was closed, but everyone looked up at it outside. He didn't know what to do. Huan Zhen was surprised and jumped off the horse, pulled a village farmer, and asked, "What's wrong?" The village farmer sighed heavily and said, "Hehe! Lord Jiang has been ganged up and is about to remove him from office!" Huan Zhen was shocked, and the horse didn't care about tying it up, and went up to hit the door, shouting, "I'm Huan Zhen!" The doorman heard his voice, opened the door a crack, let him in, and closed the door tightly.
Huan Zhen didn't care about it and asked straightforwardly: "Where is sir?" The door pointed to the lobby. Huan Zhen ignored him again and ran straight to the lobby. Jiang Bingcai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the couplet on the Qizhu that "Bullying others is like bullying the heavens and not deceive themselves. If the people are betrayed, how can the country bear to bear it?" Huan Zhen did not dare to disturb him, so he quietly walked behind him and stood there. Jiang Bingcai seemed to feel someone behind him. He looked back and saw that it was Huan Zhen, and he looked surprised. He immediately returned to calm and said lightly: "Brother Shi thought this couplet." How?" Huan Zhen knew that it was Wen Tianxiang's couple when he was working in Yangzhou. He thought about it and said, "If you get an official position, you will not be humiliated. Don't say that one official is useless. The local area depends on one official. Eat the food of the people and wear the clothes of the people. Don't say that the people can be deceived, you are also the people." A divine light flashed in Jiang Bingcai's eyes and said, "Don't say that the people can be deceived, you are also the people? Don't say that the people can be deceived, you are also the people? Haha, don't say that the people can be deceived, you are also the people!" He said it three times in a row, and his expression became more and more angry.
Huan Zhen knew that something must have happened in the past two days after he left, so he didn't dare to ask. However, Jiang Bingcai said it himself: It turned out that after Huan Zhen left that day, Jiang Bingcai immediately organized farmers to hunt locusts as agreed in advance. The first two days were very effective. The locusts in Lingqiu were either lured and burned to death by fire, beaten to death by farmers' brooms, or were driven out of the county, but on the third day, a sudden rise of The rumor said that this locust plague was because the county lord Jiang Bingcai was disrespectful to believe in the locust god. The locust god was angry and brought down the disaster. Two Taoists even broke into the county government to ask for the opening of the prefabricated method. Jiang Bingcai naturally refused to eat this and beat the two demons with poison sticks. Unexpectedly, one of the Taoists died that night after returning. The other Taoist came to complain about his grievance the next day, and Jiang Bingcai naturally ignored him. When the Taoist was leaving, he hatred threatened Jiang Bingcai to ask for help. The gauze fell to the ground. I don’t know what evil trick he used, but he tried to inform his accomplices in Datong Mansion in one day. (Author’s note - a trained carrier pigeon can do this.) That accomplice is also a Taoist priest. He was originally a confidant of Ma Shiying. It is said that he was a little ill with Ma Shiying. He heard that his companion died and was humiliated. He immediately blew some wind beside him and was determined to urge Ma Shiying to set off immediately and go to Lingqiu to rectify the bold county magistrate Jiang. Ying actually agreed and sent a notice to temporarily suspend Jiang Bingcai from office. After the details were done later, Huan Zhen knew about the future. The villagers at the yamen were all favored by the magistrate Jiang County. After hearing the news, they came to keep them together. Jiang Bingcai knew that no matter how much they told them, it would be useless. He accidentally was labeled as a big hat to incite ignorance and fool the people, so he simply kept the yamen and left them alone.
