Jizhou is located in the Ganges Delta, where the rainy season is full of torrential rains, floods, and surging tides, and in previous years, floods and tides have washed away the dilapidated seawalls, causing people on both sides of the river to complain.After the imperial government learned of this, it continuously allocated special funds from the national treasury to repair the embankment, but the thousands of miles of seawall were repaired and collapsed one after another, and only Yoshikawa County withstood the impact of the flood.At this time, Hong Lichuan, the magistrate of Jichuan County, disappeared inexplicably.How can a Qipinzhi County say that it is gone?
When the news reached Li Lu, he was furious, and with a holy decree, Liu Qing, director of the Seventh Bureau of the General Administration of Integrity, was named by Li Lu as a messenger, and he took his personal guard Gao Xin out of the capital overnight.When Liu Qing and the others came to Jichuan County, it was almost noon, and they went straight to Jichuan County without worrying about eating.When he turned the street, Liu Qing saw someone setting up a word measuring stall next to a post house.Since the missing Hong Lichuan was his classmate and friend, Liu Qing was a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he saw the word tester, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.Mr.
Zizi saw that although the person who came was plain clothes, but his bearing was extraordinary, he said: "I see that Mr. is full of heaven, the earth is round, and the mountain roots in the middle are continuous, so you must not be an ordinary character." ”Liu Qing said calmly: "Sir, you are looking away, I am a cloth cloth, what kind of unusual character." ”"If the villain is not mistaken, you are still a big official, and you are still rooted in the imperial city."
Mr.
Word Measurement said in a firm tone, "How about it, the villain is not wrong, right?"
”Liu Qing was secretly surprised, he thought that no one knew that he had quietly come to Jichuan County, but who knew that on the first day, this Mr.
Word Measurement would be broken, but his face was silent, and he said with a smile: "I have an old friend I haven't seen for many years, I don't know how he is now, can you give a test?"
”Mr.
Word Measurement nodded: "You can write a word, and you will know after testing." ”Liu Qing glanced at the restaurant and wrote a drunken word casually.How do you know that Mr.
Word Measurement looked at it and said, "It's not good, your friend is in danger."
On one side of this drunk word is a unitary, that is the chicken in the zodiac, the guy who slaughters the wine during the New Year's holidays.Looking at the pawn on the other side, it is even more dangerous, and the pawn is dead.The two are combined, isn't it just a dead chicken......
"Mr.
Word Measurement is still talking, but Liu Qing's soul has lost half of it.He thought to himself: Hong Lichuan is one year younger than himself, he should be a chicken, according to this, Hong Xiandi is no longer alive.He threw a few copper plates for the word tester, settled his mind, and then took Gao Xin to the post house.This Qin sent Liu Qing to Jichuan County, and the news soon became known to the prefect's yamen, who was not far from the county government.When Lu Demin, the prefect of Jizhou, led people to the post house, Liu Qing was drinking tea.Lu Demin saw that Liu Qing's room was small and the room was dim, so he angrily called the post guard to reprimand him.Hearing that the visitor was Lord Qincha from the capital, the post guard was so frightened that he even slapped himself, and hurriedly changed Liu Qing to another spacious room.After seeing Lu Demin away, Liu Qing simply ate something, and soon fell asleep due to the fatigue of the journey for several days.In a trance, he saw a familiar figure, it was Hong Lichuan, the magistrate of Jichuan County, he staggered towards him, and whispered: "Brother Liu, you are late." ”Seeing this, Liu Qing couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Hong Xian, where have you been these days?"
The emperor ordered me to come to you. ”"I'm not going anywhere, it's not far from you."
Hong Lichuan stepped forward and dragged Liu Qing, "Brother Liu, Bureau Liu, the next official will take you to see where I live." ”Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.Liu Qing hurriedly got up to help, but saw that black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Hong Lichuan's mouth, and he couldn't help but be surprised.He felt something tugging under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a black dog, whining in his mouth, biting his trouser legs, and pulling him out.At this time, Takashin walked in and chased away the black dog.Liu Qing felt something strange when he saw the black dog constantly circling around the house, whining and mourning in his mouth.Is there something this black dog has to tell him?
So he called Gao Xin to follow the black dog to see what was going on.The black dog came to a dirt wall and barked and pounced on a wooden door.There was a fist-sized iron lock hanging on the wooden door, and Liu Qing went up and pushed the wooden door, feeling very strong.Could it be that there is another article behind this earthen wall?
He motioned for Takashin to take him over the wall to take a look.Gao Xin carried Liu Qingfei over the earthen wall, and it turned out that there was a small garden that had been deserted for a long time, and the weeds were half a person high.At this time, the black dog also came through the crack in the earthen wall, ran to the foot of a tall magnolia tree, and desperately shaved with his paws, and from time to time his mouth made a mournful sound.Liu Qing saw that this place was not far from his residence, and when he thought of that dream, he seemed to understand a little bit in his heart.However, seeing that it was too late today, he decided to go back to his residence today, and then send someone to dig up the floating soil and see what was going on.As soon as the two of them came out of the yard, they heard a scolding, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a post guard of the post house, holding a large plate of mosquito medicine in one hand and a wooden stick in the other hand, and beating the black dog when he came up.Gao Xin stopped him and asked whose dog it was, and the post man said with disdain: "This is a wild dog, which often bites people indiscriminately, and it is better to beat it with a stick when you encounter it, otherwise this dog will get into trouble." ”After the postman finished speaking, he flatteringly told Liu Qing that he was here to deliver mosquito medicine for him, Jizhou is in the rainy season, and there are many poisonous mosquitoes here, and this kind of mosquito medicine made of high-quality wormwood and pampas grass is particularly effective.However, what Liu Qing and Gao Xin didn't expect was that at this moment, there was still a person hiding on a big tree not far away, and when he saw the post guard leaving, he quietly got down from the tree and followed Liu Qing.Liu Qing walked to his residence while thinking, and when he arrived at the post house, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him.In the open space in front of the house, two masked people, one tall and one short, were fighting fiercely, and because they didn't know the identities of the two, Liu Qing had to pull Gao Xin to the side to watch the changes.Gao Xin used to be a martial arts man, and later joined the army as an internal guard, there is a way to be an expert in the doorway, and in a moment, he has distinguished the victory and defeat of both sides.The tall man is skilled in swordsmanship and takes the initiative everywhere, while the short man is slightly weaker in swordsmanship, and if it weren't for his agility, he would have been in danger.Gao Xin knew that if he continued to fight like this, the short man would definitely lose.It's just that I don't know who the other party is, and it's hard to interfere.At this time, a black shadow suddenly rushed out, opened its mouth and bit the tall man's hand, it was a black dog!
The tall man who was caught off guard slapped his backhand, and the black dog flew out like a leaf.Almost at the same time, Gao Xin pulled out his revolver and shot at the tall man.The tall man reacted very quickly, dodged Gao Xin's bullet, and when he saw that the other party had a helper, he ran out of the post house without looking back.The short man was about to leave with the dead black dog in his arms, but Liu Qing blocked him: "This friend, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea before leaving?"
”As soon as the masked towel was removed, the short man revealed his true face, and it was actually the Mr.
Word Measurement on the street, who was also the chief bookkeeper of Jichuan County, Song Tiejun.Through a conversation with Song Tiejun, Liu Qing learned that in the process of building the seawall, Lu Demin and his cronies cut corners and filled their pockets, and the tofu slag seawall could not stop the surging tide, so it was repeatedly repaired and collapsed.Hong Lichuan was an upright man, unwilling to join the same stream, and led the people of Jichuan to carefully repair the embankment and withstand the impact of the tide, which caused Lu Demin's jealousy.When he learned that Hong Lichuan was dissatisfied with what he had done and was ready to take this to the court, Lu Demin sent a killer to poison Hong Lichuan, but lied to the outside world that Hong Lichuan was missing.
