Chapter 93: The Daughter of a Bandit in a Broken Village
"Oh my god... this is a god descending to earth..." People who came from unknown time surrounded a few people. Because they did not want to disturb Chu Luchen and Wan Qing, Jiu Ying and others did not speak, but relaxed
They stopped a few meters away, and before the song ended, the person who came suddenly knelt down and kowtowed devoutly.
"We are not gods..." Wan Qing stood there a little embarrassed, but seeing that they did not listen to her, she quickly went to help them up.
"Sister Fairy is so beautiful..." A child's clear yet soft voice sounded at her feet, raising her head desperately to see Wan Qing's face clearly.
Because of the innocence of a child, Wan Qing knelt down and said, "I'm really not a fairy sister."
"I don't care, you must be a fairy sister! A fairy sister won't say that she is a fairy sister! It's like her brother said that he was not bullied even though he was bullied!" The child pursed his lips unhappily, as if trying his best to prove it.
Wan Qing is the fairy sister.
This theory made Wan Qing and Chu Luchen laugh at the same time. Chu Luchen also walked over and knelt down to look at him, "Then if she is the fairy sister, who am I?"
"Brother Immortal!" the child replied loudly, causing the simple villagers to laugh.
"Then what do you wish for?" Chu Luchen looked at the child whose clothes were all patched, but the light in his eyes could not be covered up. And he was so stubborn in wanting to prove that they were gods, so they must be
Put something in this fictional character.
"Can you please help my brother..." Looking at Chu Luchen and Wan Qing's appearance, the child strengthened his belief and spoke boldly.
"What's wrong with your brother?" Wan Qing straightened the child's clothes, but unexpectedly the child burst into tears.
The child was crying and talking intermittently, and many people who knew him were begging for help.
The child's parents died during a plague, leaving the two brothers dependent on each other.
But there is a group of bandits on a hilltop behind the waterfall, and they come down from time to time every year to rob. But after reporting to the official, they always come, give a symbolic threat and then leave. So this phenomenon also happens frequently.
And it got even worse.
This child's brother is the most knowledgeable in the village, so he brought a petition from the whole village to the official at the beginning of the year. Unexpectedly, he was beaten up instead, and there was no powerful doctor in the village, so this child
My brother almost died like this.
If the villagers hadn't rushed him to the imperial capital overnight, and the miracle doctor hadn't left yet, he would have been saved.
"Sister Immortal, Brother Immortal...can you please help my brother...and if you can, please help me thank that miracle doctor...that...from Tongrentang..." Watching the children and villagers kneel down again
, Wan Qing and Chu Luchen were also touched.
The person responsible for the jurisdiction of this area should be Magistrate Zheng. However, because this place is far away from the imperial capital, it is possible that it is neglected. In addition, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, I am afraid that this person has already been in cahoots with the bandit. So there is no way
It is natural to achieve a radical cure.
"Okay. Brother Shenxian promises you, okay?" Chu Luchen patted the kid on the back, helped him calm down, took his hand, and motioned for him to lead the way to the village.
Wan Qing took the child's other hand and let him lead the way.
The village is located about a few miles away from the waterfall, but it is unimaginably dilapidated.
Houses in several places have collapsed, and some villagers' houses are ventilated. Their food is rice soup, and while the well water is still relatively cold these days, they freeze the rice soup and eat a piece when they are hungry.
If the waterfall is a fairyland, this place is a sudden awakening to the fact.
"Where's your brother?" Along the way, Wan Qing saw the knife marks carved on the wall and the dark black smoke that burned out of nowhere, as if walking into the underworld, making people unable to see hope and breathless. Wan Qing couldn't help but ask.
.
The child pointed to the only relatively complete house in the village, called his brother, and ran in quickly.
When they walked into the room, there was a medicinal fragrance that could not be dissipated, and what they saw was a man of similar age with a pale face and a bookish smell all over his body.
"I've seen two... brothers and villagers. No offense, and I'd like to ask you two adults for a big meal. Don't blame me." As soon as the man saw the person, he immediately knelt down and apologized. He was not one of the villagers in the village who believed in gods and ghosts, nor did he
A person who is as innocent as his younger brother and has an extraordinary bearing despite being so dressed up is either rich or noble and is not someone they can mess with.
"It's okay. Get some rest now. I just happened to want to meddle in this business and came here today. You don't have to take it to heart. They didn't offend us." Chu Luchen looked at the broken house casually, although he didn't say much.
He is a nosy person, but he has heard about Magistrate Zheng. Mr. Chen is a distant cousin, that is to say, he is from the Sun family.
In order to bring down a big tree, one has to cut it off bit by bit, otherwise the ax in his hand will be broken.
The man looked at Chu Luchen and then at Wan Qing, who kept smiling lightly, swallowed and sat back.
The greatest official he has ever seen in his life is Magistrate Zheng, but now these two people are much more powerful than that person. However, compared to Chu Luchen, who is more sharp, he looks at Wan Qing a little cautiously, at least at
She will feel less stressed...
"Tell me about it. What happened, the county magistrate wanted to beat you up." Chu Luchen took one step and hid Wan Qing behind him, with a serious tone that the man could not ignore.
The man swallowed again, as if he didn't want to say it.
"If you tell me, I can still help you. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you at all." Chu Luchen motioned to Jiuying and Chihong to take the villagers out first. After all, there are still many people among them.
Someone might have leaked the news, so he didn't want anyone to hear the details.
Seeing that the crowd dispersed and only Chu Luchen and Wan Qing remained, the man held on to his last glimmer of hope and told the whole story.
At first, everyone did not know that the bandit was colluding with Magistrate Zheng, so they always sought help with a glimmer of hope.
The bandit leader had a daughter, but she had a righteous heart, and because the man was educated and rich, he secretly promised to risk being beaten to death by his father, and stole the shady account book, hoping that he would find a bigger one.
Official notice.
Because of this account book and the man's familiarity with national laws, I thought I could sue him, but I didn't expect that the news would leak out for some reason.
On the way, he was intercepted by Magistrate Zheng, who copied the shady account book and beat him half to death. In the end, the daughter of the bandit leader was forced to become the magistrate's concubine, and soon she was thrown into a well.
suicide.
And the village became increasingly dilapidated.
"This shady account book. You can't really just lose it, right?" Chu Luchen took the national policy book on the table and turned it over at will, the smile on his lips getting bigger and bigger.
A very smart person took apart the shady account books and put them into unrelated books. If someone didn't have a general understanding of this kind of shady account books, they would definitely not find it. Unfortunately, in order to bring down the
Sun Xi, to him, this kind of thing is as casual as eating and drinking tea.
"I'll take care of this matter, but not now. Besides, I need your help." Chu Luchen bent down and looked at the man intently.
He needs someone who is familiar with the shady account books to help him. Because these are all evidence before giving the final blow to Sun Xi.
