Shaoqing saw from a distance a large group of villagers supporting the elderly and the young, appearing at the entrance of the village in twos and threes. Liu Qi waved his hand, and fifty elite infantry immediately retreated 200 meters and lined up to wait.
Liu Qi did his best to support Wen Taigong in a low profile to welcome the returning villagers. Wen Dai also waved his hand and took the lead in kneeling. The villagers immediately threw the packages in their hands on the ground and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Mr. Farewell."
"
Taigong Wen took a careful look at the crowd, and then said tremblingly: "Tell the young master to stay away. Except for a few villagers under the banyan tree, the reckless men who gathered to make trouble were chased all the way in front of the young master's house. They were already frightened and separated.
If I abandon the village and leave, I'm afraid I will become a bandit and end up in exile."
Liu Qi frowned and sighed: "Oh, it's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so let them be."
The villagers who caused the trouble ran away, and there was no need to pursue the remaining innocent people in the village. Liu Qi's heart went up and down when facing the large number of vulnerable villagers in front of him. If Cao Cao were here, he might not be able to survive.
Liu Qi ordered Chen Wu to lead 50 infantrymen to escort Wen Xiu and Wen Hou, the masterminds of the trouble, back to the mansion first. He also ordered Chen Wu to hide all the corpses in sacks in front of the mansion for Liu Qi to deal with later.
When the villagers finally relaxed and dragged the parcels and luggage back to their homes, Liu Qi asked Princess Wen to do it again and summoned all the villagers to mourn the old woman in the coffin in front of the son's house. This move made the Wenjiazhuang villagers sigh.
.
There were mournful songs and wailings again, ghost coins were floating in the wind, paper dust was dancing in the wind, the pain of bereavement was filled with sadness, and after a while, a decent funeral procession in plain clothes was pulled up again. This time there were more people.
Heading towards Liu Qi's Mansion in a mighty manner.
Liu Qi took the bay-red horse and hugged Taigong Wen: "Taiwan Wen, it's a long way to go. I'm afraid Taigong will be tired. Please get on the horse and I'll help him along."
"Young Master, please don't drive. You must not do it. Don't ride on the horse. Extraordinary men can sit on it. Although I am old, my body is still strong. Please get on the horse. I have Dai'er to support me. I can't fall behind a few steps."
." When Taigong Wen heard this, he was shocked and refused to ride Liu Qi's bay-red horse.
"Since Taigong has entrusted Wen Dai to me, he values me. Taigong is Wen Dai's elder, and naturally he is also my elder. How can I covet the ease of walking and ignore Taigong's faltering steps? If Taigong doesn't want Qi to be unkind and unfilial,
, there is no need to go in person." Liu Qi lowered his face and pretended to be displeased. From the fact that Grand Duke Wen declined to mount the horse, we can feel that in ancient times, official authority had greater influence than family rules.
Liu Qi's words were serious. Taigong Wen, who understood justice well, naturally would not embarrass Liu Qi over a trivial matter such as riding a horse, so he fearfully mounted the big maroon horse with Wen Dai's help, and Liu Qi led the horse on foot.
Upon seeing this, Chen Wen, Chen Chun, Chen Xia and five other guards from the Four Seasons brothers dismounted their horses quickly, abandoned their horses and led the horses forward. Seeing Liu Qi's courtesy to the patriarch, the villagers of Wenjiazhuang were moved for a moment, and the funeral procession burst into tears.
Zhentian, I am afraid that whoever cries and urinates is disrespectful to Master Liu Qi.
It doesn’t matter whether Liu Qi let his horse ride to Taigong Wen for a show or not, but in ancient times when the idea of officialdom was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Liu Qi’s ability to do this made passers-by look at him with admiration.
It gave Liu Qi, who would strive for world hegemony in the future, a legendary character.
At the beginning, he was still a murderous demon king, but now he has transformed into a young master who loves the people. What kind of person is this Liu Qi? If he does not have the qualifications of an emperor, how can he be benevolent and domineering? Sitting upside down on the maroon terrace.
Wen Taigong, who was on the horse, looked at Liu Qi and his clan grandson Wen Dai in front of the horse. He thought that the young master Biejia Rangqi was exactly the same as Kong Rong Rangli, who was famous in the world thirty-three years ago. His thoughts suddenly surged, and a hint of imperceptible expression appeared on his lips.
Smiling proudly.
With the patriarch Wen Taigong presiding over and the young master riding Liu Qi's sword to suppress the formation, the funeral of the old woman in Wenjiazhuang who blocked the young master Liu Qi's house in the morning went smoothly. The funeral procession stopped immediately when it entered the passage in front of Liu Qi's house.
There were no cries, no coins were thrown and paper money was burned, no mourning music was played and firecrackers were played. When the eight immortals carrying the coffin carried the old woman's funeral necessities, they all raised the coffin with a mute shout under the gesture of the mourner, and the funeral procession ended in front of the young master's house.
Just like the slow motion of a silent movie, it passed by Liu Qi's house quietly and slowly.
The shops on both sides of the passage had not yet carried away the coffin, and they had seen a bloody incident, so no shopkeepers dared to risk opening their doors. Although there were few pedestrians on the road, most of them hid in corners where they were not easily discovered.
They have never left, and they all want to see and know the outcome of the coffin riot in front of the Young Master's Mansion? Passers-by refuse to leave, and the curiosity of onlookers has been there since ancient times. Is it caused by human curiosity, or do passers-by play a role in the incident?
After substituting it, you can't figure it out. If you have to look at it clearly, you won't know.
After Liu Qi dispatched fifty murderous infantry, he personally led the horse for Wen Taigong, the patriarch of Wenjiazhuang, and gave the deceased old woman a grand funeral. After these two rounds of military and civil service, the coffin-stopping riot quietly subsided, and people were shocked.
All those on Sanguo Road who were worried or hoping to see a large-scale killing scene again were shocked and called it miraculous.
The young master killed the mob with force, and did not give way to benevolence and righteousness. Under the secret planning of Chen Wen, who was as wise as Zhuge Kongming, it became a good talk in Xiangyang City for a while.
Not aware of it.
The funeral of the old woman went exceptionally smoothly. Liu Qi did not break his promise and asked the housekeeper to spend a large sum of money to pay for the bereaved family members and the young and old family members who were killed or injured in the riots.
Wen Xiu and Wen Hou, the masterminds of the mob incident, and the bodies of the deceased buried in dozens of sacks were handed over to the government for investigation. The injured were all exempted and treated. Liu Qi's righteousness and kindness were far more prestigious in Wenjiazhuang than the patriarch Wen Taigong.
After the funeral procession buried the old woman's coffin, they did not go back to Wenjiazhuang. They bypassed the Gongzi Mansion from another city gate and returned to Wenjiazhuang. When the funeral procession left in front of Liu Qi's Mansion, Liu Qi kept Wen Taigong behind and personally supported Wen Taigong.
Taigong went to the temporarily enclosed operating room in the weapons warehouse of the mansion and saw with his own eyes Huang Xu, whose head was covered with bandages and lying on the operating bed like a dead man. Taigong Wen and Wen Dai immediately understood why the road in front of Liu Qi's house was closed to traffic*
*Noise.
"Young Master." Huan'er, who was standing by and guarding Huang Xu, had red eyes. He greeted Liu Qi in a low voice, and then bowed politely to Taigong Wen and Wen Dai. Any more words would be insignificant in this situation.
, everyone was silent when facing Huang Xu after surgery.
Liu Qi looked at Huang Xu with a calm expression, then stepped forward and gently circled the operating bed, took a careful look at Huang Xu's face, skillfully held up Huang Xu's arm, and tried to recall Hua Tuo's "Qing".
"Sac Meridian" on the key points of feeling the pulse of patients after craniotomy, close your eyes slightly, hold your breath and concentrate, imitate Hua Tuo's classic posture of feeling the pulse, carefully feel the pulse of Huang Xu, and just nodded gently,
Without saying anything, he told Huan'er to take good care of her and walked out of the simple operating room with Grandpa Wen and his grandson.
After walking out of the weapons warehouse, Liu Qi looked at the solemn Wen Dai and Wen Taigong, who had tears in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said sadly: "Tai Gong Wen, to tell you the truth, I have accepted Huang Zhong as my disciple.
The person lying on the bed is Huang Xu, the son of General Huang."
"Will Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng be promoted?" Wen Taigong asked.
"Exactly, because Qi's riding skills are poor, General Huang was assigned by his father to teach me how to ride horses and archery. A few days ago, it was discovered that General Huang's son Huang Xu was critically ill, and he happened to meet Mr. Hua Tuo while he was traveling to the south of the Yangtze River for medical treatment. This morning, Huang Xu
When performing a craniotomy in the mansion, there must not be any noise, otherwise Huang Xu's nerves will be confused during the operation and may be life-threatening. Therefore, it is forbidden to walk in front of the mansion. I don't want to cause a lot of trouble to the grandpa and lead to many deaths.
Innocent people were killed and injured, but I hope the Grand Duke will be angry and guilty."
When Liu Qi explained the ins and outs of the ban in front of the house, he still did not forget to show humility to Wen Taigong again. Liu Qi's humble mind and elegant speech and behavior made Wen Taigong believe that Liu Qi was not comparable to ordinary young men and young masters, and he was even more convinced that Wen Dai would follow Liu Qi and prosper soon.
"Young Master, don't drive away and don't say you are guilty. There is a reason for the incident. Unless the Young Master is strong enough to control the mob, what is the Young Master's crime? Afterwards, the Young Master clearly distinguishes right from wrong, catches the big ones and lets go of the small ones, and spreads his benevolence to the people of the village. He is indeed a generous man and should be respected by all people.
.”
Wen Taigong made an impassioned speech, as if Liu Qi was an enlightened emperor with both power and benevolence. How could the emperor govern the world when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of eight? Children became emperors, eunuchs wielded power, and ministers issued decrees. The whole court was filled with chaos and the world was full of strife.
Refugees are constantly being displaced, and an eight-year-old child becoming emperor is a farce that fools the people of the world.
Wen Taigong looked at the graceful and thoughtful young master farewell to Liu Qi. As he was thinking in panic, a flash of thought came to his mind.
Liu Biao and Liu Biao in Jingzhou seemed to be vain, weak and unambitious, and feared that they had no intention of hegemony. Instead, they were suppressed by the powerful local princes, and their lives were in danger. But the young master was not a member of the Han Dynasty, and his words and deeds showed the aura of a king and hegemon.
This person seems to have the power of heaven, and if one day, he will be justified...
Taigong Wen, who was familiar with Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and knew the rise and fall of the past dynasties, unknowingly compared Liu Qi with the emperors of the past dynasties one by one. In his mind, he discovered that Liu Qi's character was extraordinary. He thought that Liu Qi was comparable to the founding emperors.
.
Looking at Liu Qi who looked humble on the outside but a king on the inside, Taigong Wen's heart was pounding violently. He didn't dare to think too much and changed the subject: "Mr. Hua Tuo, the young master just said, is the famous doctor Hua Tuo who has a wonderful rejuvenation and can cure all diseases."
Tu?"
Liu Qi said: "Exactly."
"Is Mr. Hua Tuo in the mansion?"
"certainly."
"Can you introduce me to the young master?" Taigong Wen was overjoyed when Liu Qi confirmed that Hua Tuo was in the young master's house. He did not expect that the young master would have contact with Mr. Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo has always been unfaithful and disdainful of clinging to powerful people.
Staying in the young master's house can further reveal the charm of young master Biejia's personality.
"Grandpa, please." Liu Qi led the way. Little did he know that Grandpa Wen would have so many weird ideas about the emperor in his heart.
