Chapter 151: Searching for someone with a portrait
Immediately realizing his gaffe, Mo Yukun immediately sat down with a smile.
"Brother Qi, are you the former Duke of Chu Dynasty?"
In southern Xinjiang, everyone knows Qi Yunfeng's name.
In the past two years, southern Xinjiang has been at war with Dachu, and only in the past three months has there been a slight ceasefire.
Before coming to Dachu Dynasty, he served in the army, and he was very familiar with Qi Yunfeng's famous name.
However, there was a war on the front line at that time, and Qi Yunfeng never went to war.
Regarding Qi Yunfeng, Mo Yuzhu only heard his name but never met him.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yukun was even more excited than finding the eldest prince when he accidentally met a big shot he had never seen on the battlefield.
The eldest prince had been missing for so long, and no matter how many people sent from Southern Xinjiang could not find him, how could they be so lucky?
For those who are stronger, the strong have always been worshiped, even if the other party is the enemy.
After knowing Qi Yunfeng's identity, Mo Yukun respected him even more.
After all, when they were on the battlefield, they all knew that if Qi Yunfeng went to fight, Southern Xinjiang would definitely lose miserably.
Because of his inaction, the two sides had a small fight on the front line, and there was no damage at all.
"I'm just a commoner now." Qi Yunfeng confirmed the other party's question in disguise.
"Disrespect, disrespect." Mo Yukun bent towards Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue and handed over his hands.
If the other party wanted to kill him, he would not have survived yesterday.
I don't want to, people have let me go, and today they are not afraid of death and come to the door.
Mo Yukun instinctively wiped his forehead. There was not a drop of sweat there, but it made him feel like there was something heavy pressing on him.
"Tell me, what do you rely on to find the eldest prince?" Tang Xinyue asked directly when she saw that it was almost time.
After hesitating for a few moments, Mo Yukun seemed to have made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Many old people say that the eldest prince looks exactly like the emperor when I was a child. Now, we also use the portrait of the emperor when he was young to find him. "
The former queen passed away, her family was gone, and her loyal servants were missing. When they came out this time to look for someone, they each carried a portrait and took it back when they met someone of similar age and appearance.
The time limit is half a year. After half a year, no matter whether they find anyone or how many people they find, they will have to go back and recover.
Now, they have been out for more than a month and still have found nothing. Time is running out.
In his opinion, how could he find someone in such a short period of time?
It's just that there is internal fighting within the Southern Xinjiang royal family.
"Can I take a look at the painting?" Tang Xinyue asked politely.
Mo Yukun was stunned, obviously realizing that he had said too much.
It's enough to just say who looks similar, why do you have to say that you have a painting with you?
But now that the matter has come to this, he has no choice but to take it out.
When Tang Xinyue continued to draw the picture and slowly opened it, she discovered at just one glance that the person she knew was exactly the same as the person in the picture.
If there is any difference, it is that their demeanor is completely different.
Tang Xinyue handed the painting to Qi Yunfeng so that he could look at it more carefully.
Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue discovered almost at the same time that someone they knew looked like the person in the painting.
However, in order not to attract Mo Yukun's attention, he calmly took the painting, looked at it seriously for a moment or two, then rolled it up and handed it back.
"There are many people who look alike in the world. How can the Southern Xinjiang royal family determine that the person you have found is the real eldest prince?" Tang Xinyue asked calmly.
"I didn't say that." Mo Yukun finally became wiser and stopped spitting out everything, and responded, "Whoever wants to send it over, the emperor will make his own decision."
"Then if not, wouldn't he be killed?" Tang Xinyue asked coldly.
He looked like the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang, but was not his biological son. She didn't believe that those innocent people could come back safe and sound.
"..." Mo Yukun was speechless.
He really hadn't thought about this problem.
"Brother Mo, please return to Southern Xinjiang immediately and find out the real reason why the Southern Xinjiang royal family is looking for the eldest prince." Qi Yunfeng said meaningfully.
"Brother Qi said so. Could it be that you know where the eldest prince is?" Mo Yukun boldly guessed.
Qi Yunfeng looked at Tang Xinyue, checked her eyes, and said, "On the way to exile, we saw a young man who looked eighty-nine times like the person in this painting."
"Oh, great." Mo Yukun was so excited that he beat his hands together.
"If you find out their true intention of finding the eldest prince, and it is beneficial and harmless to the eldest prince, we will take you to find him." Qi Yunfeng said solemnly.
"Okay." Mo Yukun stood up, "I will return today. I will definitely find out the real news and come back to see you two."
After saying that, he said goodbye and strode away.
In his opinion, although the other party was exiled here, he was still a famous and famous figure with the same prestige as before, so there was no need to lie to him.
Seeing that Mo Yukun was fooled into leaving like this, Tang Xinyue gave Qi Yunfeng a thumbs up.
Regardless of whether the other party can get back the news, this departure gave them enough time.
When Mo Yukun comes back, they and the eldest prince will surely have their own best way to deal with it.
After sitting for a while, they left the teahouse.
Sitting on the mule cart, Tang Xinyue released her mental power. When she found Mo Yukun, she found that he was already at the dock and was about to board the ship.
It seems that although Qi Yunfeng is no longer on the front line, his power to shock people is still there.
"Let's go, let's catch up with Cui Hao and the others." Tang Xinyue thought it would be good for the two of them to just sit side by side and wander back.
Qi Yunfeng was naturally happy with her suggestion.
Not only could he enjoy the scenery along the way, but he also had his beloved beside him, so he didn't want to rush to catch the convoy so quickly.
Walk slowly and leisurely, even for a whole day.
Naturally, Tang Xinyue would not be angry at Qi Yunfeng's unhappiness.
After leaving the county town, they walked along the picturesque field path. For a moment, they felt that they were the only ones between heaven and earth.
When we returned to Shanggu Village, we were just in time for lunch.
I went to eat first, and when I returned to my house, I saw a lot of supplies piled at the gate.
Cui Hao and the others didn't know where to put these things, so they just piled them here.
That's fine, Tang Xinyue asked Xiaohua and the others to call Mrs. Mei and Sister-in-law to come over and take back all their belongings one by one.
When Mrs. Mei and others came over, their eyes couldn't help but turn red when they saw the things they had put away the night before the house was ransacked.
They just thought that it was better to be prepared than not to be prepared, but they never imagined that the Zhenguo Palace had really changed overnight.
After dinner, Cui Hao, Dong Yi, Zhu Zhu and the others, who had not yet gone to training, saw Qi Yunyi and the others moving things, so they all came over to help.
Two quarters of an hour later, in front of Tang Xinyue's door, except for a bunch of strange things that were not claimed, the rest had been moved away.
"Seventh brother, seventh sister-in-law, what are these?"
"That's right, Lao Qi, brothers and sisters, please don't stand around and talk."
"I don't think anyone would want these weird things."
...
Everyone was buzzing, waiting for Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue to speak.
Qi Yunfeng was also confused and did not recognize what was in front of him.
"Yueyue, how do you get these things?" Everyone was waiting.
Chapter 152 Grandfather's death
What they don't recognize is basketball and football equipment.
The strange appearance puzzled everyone.
Zhuzi and the other naughty children took out basketballs and rubber balls and started playing with each other without being taught. Everyone suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
Seeing that everyone's expectations were almost raised, Tang Xinyue cleared her voice and said, "This is basketball and football. Let's go and pack them up while everyone is here."
Then, she ordered some people to cut down trees and some to go to the school grounds.
Tools for cutting trees are available in every house, and the remaining agricultural tools are relatively complete.
Those who went to the school grounds used measuring tools that Tang Xinyue bought at Gujin Pavilion.
There is strength in numbers. In one afternoon, all the men in Shanggu Village, under the leadership of Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng, built two football and twenty basketball courts.
The basketball stand and football stand are made of wooden piles, the outer barriers are made of fishing nets, the ground is paved with outdoor sports flooring, and the court lines are painted with paint.
Although it is not as formal as later generations, it still looks quite large, enough to shock everyone.
Two basketball courts and twenty footballs are built in three rows on the left side of the central area, becoming the most eye-catching presence in the ancient village.
Everyone was excited, but they were very restrained. Only Zhu Zhu and the others were holding the basketball and shooting hard.
Their basketball stands are specially designed to lower the shooting height and shorten the length of the court, which is very suitable for their current heights.
Children can play around, but adults can't. All of them had itchy hands but didn't move.
"Let's go back to eat and learn to play basketball tomorrow." Qi Yunfeng waved his hand and walked back with Tang Xinyue first.
Standing on the textured floor, although everyone was reluctant to get down, they still followed quickly.
No matter what, we have to wait until tomorrow. There is no use standing here all night.
Zhuzi and the others caught up with Tang Xinyue with the ball in their hands, asking questions around her, making everyone envious.
That night, Tang Xinyue entered the space and began to teach Qi Yunfeng.
I briefly talked to him about the rules and precautions for serving a basketball. As for the more important points, it is for those who want to play the ball. Practice makes perfect and wisdom comes from continuous practice.
After listening to her explanation, Qi Yunfeng couldn't wait to go out and try the ball right now.
As a general who leads troops, he knows that this seemingly simple sport is actually a tiny battlefield without fireworks.
Cui Hao and Xu Da will definitely master these two sports.
The next day, as soon as Qi Yunfeng walked out of the space, he was startled by the movement outside.
A lot of people gathered outside the gate of his house, with Cui Hao and Xu Da taking the lead.
"Look, everyone is so anxious." Qi Yunfeng strode to open the door.
Who knows if these guys came before dawn?
Tang Xinyue looked at Qi Yunfeng's back and smiled helplessly.
These good brothers of his came one after another after four o'clock.
Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep, so they came over and talked about the mountains.
As soon as Qi Yunfeng went out, everyone carried him to the basketball court.
"Did you bring the basketball?"
"Bring it with you, they're all here."
"Let's go quickly."
It's just a game of ball. As for getting up so early and not even eating breakfast?
Tang Xinyue couldn't control these lunatics. Since they liked it, this operation was not in vain.
These idle veterans have something to do, and life in the ancient village is not so boring.
However, just playing ball is not enough. There are also fields in the village that need to be taken care of.
She decided to go to the county town again today to find out which village her grandfather was in.
My grandpa has been here for a long time, so he is probably good at farming.
Furthermore, even if Gu didn't say anything, Tang Xinyue could see the expectation in her eyes.
After breakfast, Tang Xinyue called to Zhuzhu who was going to the basketball court, "Zhuzhu, tell your seventh brother that I am going to the county seat."
"Hey, that's good." Zhuzi heard that there was already playing ball on the school field and he was running much faster than usual.
But when he arrived, Qi Yunfeng and the others had stopped fighting and were preparing to go back for breakfast.
"Zhuzi, you run five laps first." Cui Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at Zhuzi and ordered.
"No, do you want to play ball?" Zhuzi's smiling face almost turned into tears.
"Want to play ball?" Cui Hao smiled cruelly, "Whenever you finish today's task, you can play again. Hurry up and run."
"Hey, yes." Zhuzhu reluctantly waved to the brothers and ran out lazily.
Not long after running, the pillar folded back again.
"What are you doing?" Cui Hao asked unhappily.
"Seventh brother, seventh sister-in-law said they are going to the county seat." Zhuzi glanced at Cui Hao expressly, then turned to Qi Yunfeng and said.
After saying that, he ran away, fearing that Cui Hao would talk to him again.
After hearing what he said, Qi Yunfeng's face changed from the relaxed look before and he strode away.
"No, the rules haven't been finished yet." Cui Hao shouted from behind.
Who knows when they will come back? Can you finish talking before leaving?
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Qi Yunfeng said without looking back.
County government.
When He Cheng saw Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue, he was as polite as meeting his relatives.
The Chu Dynasty had a new emperor, and because of his political achievements in the ancient village, he actually embraced Wu Sha Mao.
Many of his colleagues have been driven out of office, and now he recognizes few officials, big and small, across Huizhou.
This change only occurred within two or three days, which frightened him for a moment.
If they were exiled to this night for a few days, he would have to pack up and leave.
In addition, in his opinion, they were able to subdue the rats in the ancient village, which was a sign of great talent.
Therefore, when he learned that the people from the ancient village came to see the county magistrate, he was very considerate and received the guests in person.
After a while of greetings, Qi Yunfeng raised his hands and asked, "Master He, could you please help us check which village Gu Yuan, who was exiled here twelve years ago, was assigned to?"
"Gu Yuan?" He Cheng was surprised, "Who are you Gu Yuan?"
"It's my grandfather." Tang Xinyue replied.
Seeing that Master He's tone and expression were wrong, she added, "Master He, please speak up if you have anything to say."
"Hey..." He Cheng sighed.
That year, Gu Yuan brought his wife and three sons to Qingshan County and settled in Dafeng Village on the outskirts of the county.
Their family imitated farmers in farming, and although their lives were hard, they would not starve to death.
Three months ago, the eldest granddaughter of the Gu family was spotted by the son of Li Zheng in Dafeng Village. Li Zheng shamelessly came to the door and spoke for his son.
But it would be fine if the eight-carriage-carriage official married him back. Li Zheng's son just wanted to take a house of concubines, which naturally annoyed the Gu family.
Although the Gu family is in a state of poverty, they have always been in a clean slate. How could they treat their own daughter like this?
Li Zheng, who had been disgraced, naturally held a grudge, which made the Gu family's life in Dafeng Village even more difficult.
Half a month ago, a murder occurred in Dafeng Village. All the villagers identified it as Gu Yuan and his son.
He Cheng was an upright and honest official. He saw that although the witnesses and physical evidence in this case were complete, there were many suspicious points, so he did not close the case hastily.
Now Gu Yuan and his son are being held in the county jail.
Chapter 153 Heading to Dafeng Village
When Tang Xinyue heard that her grandfather and the others were in prison, she immediately couldn't sit still.
"Master He, the daughter of the people has a plan. She is willing to take you to Dafeng Village to solve the case."
"Oh, can you please come and hear it?" He Cheng was expecting the case to come to light, and he immediately became overjoyed.
"Sir, it's just money that opens the way. Please send someone to the prison to take my grandfather and the others out and go together." Tang Xinyue said with cupped hands.
"Sir He, the truth will be revealed when we go here. I hope to bring my grandfather and the others with me." Qi Yunfeng also bowed his hands in salute.
"Okay." Seeing how sincere the two of them were, He Cheng agreed readily.
The two of them had extraordinary magnanimity, and the successful settlement of the ancient village made He Cheng trust them very much.
When Gu Yuan and his son were brought in, they were in ragged clothes, covered with wounds, and walked unsteadily. It appeared that they had been tortured in prison.
Tang Xinyue stepped forward, bursting into tears, "Grandpa, uncle, you have suffered."
Grandfather, uncle? Gu Yuan and his son were immediately stunned.
They had been keeping their heads down, but then they raised their heads and fixed their gazes on Tang Xinyue's face.
"Are you Yue'er?" Gu Yuan looked at Tang Xinyue's appearance, which looked a bit like his own daughter, and asked tentatively.
"Yes, I am Yue'er." Tang Xinyue kept nodding.
She originally thought that her grandfather would not remember her granddaughter at all, so she was a little happy if she didn't want her to recognize her at a glance.
"Yue'er, Yue'er..." Old Gu Yuan burst into tears, feeling both sadness and joy.
His thin and dry face finally had some color.
On the one hand, he was happy to see Tang Xinyue, on the other hand, he was sad for his daughter who passed away. Coupled with his current appearance, the grievances he had never been able to express in his life finally broke out at this moment.
"Grandpa." Tang Xinyue held Gu Yuan's hands and channeled spiritual power into his weak body.
Immediately, Gu Yuan realized that his whole body was not in so much pain. He just thought that he was seeing his granddaughter and was so happy that his health improved.
"Grandpa, my mother is not dead. She is now living with us in the Ancient Village." Tang Xinyue knew why the old man was so sad and immediately told the truth.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately stopped crying. Even Gu Fangjie, who was crying at the side, all raised their heads and looked at Tang Xinyue in disbelief.
"Grandfather, uncle, what Yueyue said is true, mother is still alive." Qi Yunfeng stepped forward and confirmed.
Gu Yuan and Gu Fangjie's eyes immediately moved to Qi Yunfeng's face.
"Grandfather, uncle, this is my husband Qi Yunfeng." Tang Xinyue answered their questions.
At this time, Gu Yuan and his son were in mood swings again.
In their view, Tang Xinyue was not much older than she was back then, but she was already married.
But no matter what, Gu Shi is still alive and Tang Xinyue has grown up, which is a good thing after all.
"Uncle." After Tang Xinyue had nursed Cong Gu Yuan back to health, she held Gu Fangjie's hands again.
"Yue'er, I have made you mother and daughter suffer." Gu Fangjie said with shame.
Back then, when the Gu family was about to leave the capital, they knew that their mother and daughter's lives would be drastically changed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Dafeng Village and sent a safe letter to Ningyuan Houfu, they would receive the news of Gu's death.
The letter said that Mr. Gu could not bear the blow and died of a sudden illness, but they all knew in their hearts that they had something to do with this tragedy.
After all, they were kind-hearted. They only took the responsibility on themselves and did not think that Tang Ren was the culprit.
After being exiled to this point, they cannot leave Qingshan County even if they obtain household registration. In addition, I was penniless, so even if I wanted to go back to Beijing to find out what was going on, it would be difficult to do so.
Over the years, they have struggled to survive in poverty with their guilt for Gu and their concern for Tang Xinyue.
Now, knowing that both mother and daughter are fine, I can't help but worry about how they got through these years.
"Uncle, everything is fine with us." Tang Xinyue comforted.
The past is long gone, and no matter how much you talk about it, it will only add to your worries.
She had already agreed with her mother that after meeting her grandfather and the others, she would just forget about the past.
After all, Ningyuan Houfu has received the punishment it deserves, and they should not live in those miseries anymore.
A new life has begun, and what should be let go is like a kite that has been broken by pulling hard, so that it no longer dangles in front of you.
"Yueyue, Mr. He has mobilized manpower, we can go to Dafeng Village." Qi Yunfeng reminded.
"Okay, let's leave now."
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng supported Gu Yuan and Gu Fangjie respectively and walked out.
Dafeng Village.
At this time, although the environment is not as beautiful as the ancient village, it is close to the county seat, has a good geographical environment, and has a large population. It is a large village in Qingshan County.
When He Cheng led the team into Dafeng Village, the villagers all ran out to watch the fun.
"You're not here to arrest someone at Old Man Gu's house, are you?"
"It will only be clean if we arrest them one by one."
"There have never been any exiles in Dafeng Village. It would be good for them to break the precedent."
"Hey, why did Gu Yuan and the others come back?"
...
The villagers didn't mind the excitement and stretched their necks for fear of missing any details.
"Master He, you are here in person." Li Zheng from Dafeng Village was shocked when he heard the news and hurried over to greet him.
His face is full of flesh, but he has a pair of small triangular eyes, which makes him look brave but a little funny.
However, he spoke with a strong voice that made up for some of the comedy and was a bit intimidating.
For the villagers of Dafeng Village, his momentum and the blessing of his status really made the villagers obey his orders.
This also gave Li Zheng the illusion that in Dafeng Village, he was the king and whatever he said was what he said.
Therefore, when Gu Yuan refused to sell his face and promised his granddaughter to his son, he immediately had the idea of killing someone on the spot.
Finally, out of consideration for his identity, he came up with a way to blame others.
There was a person in the village who fell ill, and Tan Yuan and his son happened to go to visit him, but the person in the back suddenly fell ill and died.
And the real cause of death of that person was that he died at the end of his life. But Li Zheng refused to give up and mobilized the whole village to pretend that he was killed by Gu Yuan and his son.
He was thinking about how to conquer the Gu family. Why did he miss this opportunity that came to his door?
"Master He, do you have anything to ask me to do?" Li Zheng would step on those who were weaker than him. For those who are higher than him, he naturally stoops and acts small.
In response to Li Zheng's flattery, He Cheng just nodded coldly.
After the group arrived at Gu's house, they saw that the door was closed, and some villagers hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Since the arrest of Gu Yuan and his son, the Gu family has stayed behind closed doors without any important matters.
Just now, the county magistrate came, and everyone in the village came out to see, but they still locked the door.
The villager knocked on the door for a long time, but saw no movement inside, so he immediately shouted loudly, "Old man Gu is back from the Gu family."
The Gu family is a foreign surname here. Although Gu Yuan is very old, he does not receive much respect from the villagers.
After Gu Yuan was exiled, he was already disappointed with people's hearts. In addition, there were unruly people in the poor mountains and rivers here, so he did not make a living by treating diseases and saving people.
The family makes a living by farming honestly, but they don't know how to farm. For the villagers in Dafeng Village, this is simply a joke after dinner.
In recent years, the Gu family has finally adapted to farming life, and everything is slowly getting back on track.
But unexpectedly, something like this happened again.
Chapter 154 Dafeng Village Changes in Li Zheng
The Gu family door finally opened.
Gu Yuan and Gu Fangjie stepped forward excitedly, allowing Gu Fangquan who opened the door to see their father and brother at a glance.
"Dad, brother, you are back."
Gu Fangquan rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe what he saw.
After confirming, he quickly opened the door and welcomed his father and brother in.
"Mom, sister-in-law, come quickly."
After being treated by Tang Xinyue, Gu Yuan and his son were not that weak now. However, they both staggered a little when they walked into the home they thought they would never return to.
After seeing her grandmother and aunt come out, Tang Xinyue didn't step forward to recognize them in time.
She and Qi Yunfeng moved out tables, chairs and benches, and greeted He Cheng, some officials and villagers to sit down in the front yard.
More villagers were standing inside and outside the courtyard.
Gu Fangquan asked his younger brother Gu Fangkai to take care of his father and brother, while he took charge of the overall situation.
"Thank you, sir, for sending my father and brother back!" He walked up to He Cheng and bowed deeply.
For He Cheng, Gu Fang was grateful from the bottom of his heart.
When all the unfavorable accusations were pointed at his father and brother, He Cheng not only did not close the case hastily, but instead persuaded the two brothers to go home and look for favorable evidence.
However, all the villagers in Dafeng Village are afraid of Li Zheng, and the deceased's family are Li Zheng's relatives. It is too difficult to find evidence.
When they were at their wits' end, their father and brother came back unexpectedly.
"Gu Fangquan, what evidence can you find?" He Cheng asked directly.
"Not yet." Gu Fangquan's face turned pale, fearing that he would not be able to accomplish anything because of him.
My father and brother are about to be taken away again.
"Second uncle, come here and sit down first." Tang Xinyue patted the seat beside her and said to Gu Fangquan.
Second uncle? Gu Fangquan was stunned.
But the situation in front of him did not allow him to think too much. Seeing that Tang Xinyue was not afraid at all in front of the magistrate and these people, he immediately followed the arrangement and sat down.
After all, it was a bit ugly for him to stand and not be able to say anything for his father and brother.
"Everyone, I invite you all to come to the Gu family today. I also specially invited Mr. He. He is here because of the Gu family." Qi Yunfeng glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.
The person who was kind-hearted just now suddenly became so vicious, which made everyone a little stunned for a moment.
Even Lord He straightened his back unconsciously when he was caught by Qi Yunfeng's eyes.
He was shocked at that moment. He had never been so out of his mind even when he was meeting the governor.
There, I saw that the person who came was not good, and I was a little panicked. In terms of momentum, he knew he couldn't compare to Qi Yunfeng.
With such a person supporting the Gu family, he had a bad feeling.
"But at the same time, we are also here for another thing, and that is," Qi Yunfeng paused, and after scanning the crowd again, his eyes stopped firmly on the faces inside, "to recommend the new residents of Dafeng Village. just."
"What?"
"New Li Zheng?"
"Is this true?"
"Dafeng Village has not changed its frontage for many years. Is it time to change its frontage?"
...
The villagers whispered among themselves, and were far more interested in changing the situation than whether the Gu family would be punished.
Li Zheng saw that the villagers who usually tried to please him in every possible way were gloating about his misfortune, and their faces turned red.
He wanted to stand up and curse, but when he saw Qi Yunfeng's eyes staring at prey, he finally sat down.
Seeing Li Zheng being so vulnerable, He Cheng smiled imperceptibly at the corners of his mouth.
He was originally going to get to the bottom of the murder case of Gu Yuan and his son in Dafeng Village, but he didn't expect to have to change his face. This was beyond his surprise.
However, when he thought about it, it was the act of changing his face that could make the seemingly unbreakable Dafengpo instantly broken from the inside.
At that moment, he looked at Qi Yunfeng with an extra layer of respect.
It was not because of Li Zheng's lust that all the villagers insisted that Gu Yuan and his son were the murderers.
If there is a new person in Li Zheng, the situation will naturally be different.
While he secretly admired Qi Yunfeng's behavior, he sat back and watched the show.
"Of course, not everyone can be upright." Qi Yunfeng calmed down his anger a little and said in a friendly manner, "Of course, whoever can clear the grievances of the Gu family and his son will be the new upright."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers in Dafeng Village were completely uneasy.
They were still talking quietly just now so that no one could hear them, but now they were talking without any scruples and talking as usual.
The scene was noisy, but Qi Yunfeng did not stop them.
If enough is said, someone will naturally come forward.
Li Zheng saw that the villagers seemed to be rebelling, and his expression changed drastically.
If it were in the past, he would definitely come forward with threats and inducements, say all the good things and do all the bad things, so that the villagers who take the initiative would be submissive and obedient, and other people would not dare to do anything again.
But at this moment, with Qi Yunfeng and He Cheng here, he didn't dare to say a word and could only stare.
He regretted a little. If he had known that the Gu family had support, he should not have acted rashly in the first place.
Now, seeing that the Gu family was being released, but that he was about to be kicked off the stage, his stomach felt like he had eaten five spices, and he felt extremely painful.
"Sir, I know that the Gu family was wronged." After a long time, a middle-aged man finally stood up.
He was sitting diagonally behind Li Zheng, and he had been talking and laughing with Li Zheng before.
Li Zheng didn't expect that he would be the first person to show up, and his face immediately turned ugly.
The middle-aged man is Li Zheng's cousin. He usually looks down upon some of Li Zheng's behaviors. In addition, Li Zheng always seems superior in front of him, which makes him have a long-standing grudge.
It was just thinking about being brothers and receiving some small favors on weekdays that allowed him to hold back from having an attack.
But now, in the face of such huge interests, the middle-aged man naturally wants to give it a try.
He knew that everyone in the village had some opinions about Li Zheng, but just like him, they didn't dare to get angry, let alone speak out.
Seeing that Li Zheng was as cowardly as a good grandson in front of big shots, the middle-aged man knew that his chance had come.
If he doesn't seize the opportunity now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get ahead in his life.
He thinks that he is better than his cousin in every aspect, but he suffers from the disadvantage of being a few years younger.
If they were the same age, the title of righteousness here would never fall on such useless people.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the braver he became. He didn't care about anything at the moment and risked his life.
"Very good." Qi Yunfeng looked at the middle-aged man and said with satisfaction.
Under heavy reward, there must be a brave man, this trick will never change.
"Tell me what the whole thing is like so that everyone knows."
Seeing that the middle-aged man was praised by Qi Yunfeng, some people regretted not standing up earlier.
At that moment, the villagers pricked their ears to see if there was anyone they could intervene in. Maybe there was still a chance.
The middle-aged man felt Qi Yunfeng's expectations. He was a little panicked, but he immediately calmed down.
If he can get out of his position, he will have a new uprightness. He will be completely different from those before him and behind him. Now he can be stable.
After sorting out his thoughts, the middle-aged man cleared his voice.
"The man had been ill for a long time and he didn't have much time left. The Gu family and his son went to visit them, but they were in the same village. Li Zheng was dissatisfied with them and had evil thoughts in his heart. He killed the man himself and then framed the blame. "Yu Gu's family."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Chapter 155 Are you jealous
The middle-aged man's words made all the villagers confused.
Li Zheng stood up suddenly and defended himself, "You are talking nonsense. I just saw that man dead and thought it was the Gu family who killed him. How could I go to the trouble of killing someone?"
The middle-aged man said unhurriedly, "What you mean is that you happened to be there before that man died. You watched him die naturally and did not kill him."
"Exactly. How could I kill someone?" Li Zheng raised his head.
"You mean, the Gu family and his son didn't kill anyone." The middle-aged man approached step by step.
After hearing this, Li Zheng realized that he had just fallen into a trap.
However, at that time, I was so preoccupied with defending myself that I didn't notice the other party's speaking skills and coping methods.
This time, he was unable to get off the tiger and had to nod.
To get rid of the suspicion of murder, he had to lose his upright identity.
"Two adults, Li Zheng has admitted that the Gu family and his son did not kill anyone." The middle-aged man handed over to Qi Yunfeng and He Cheng, indicating that he had completed the task assigned to him.
"Very good." Qi Yunfeng glanced at the middle-aged man approvingly, "Everyone, everyone heard what I just said clearly and clearly. The Gu family was framed."
"Come here, take him down for me."
He Cheng gave an order, and four officers came forward and caught Li Zheng.
"Sir, I didn't kill anyone." Li Zheng panicked and quickly begged for mercy.
"Hmph." He Cheng snorted coldly, "Although you didn't kill anyone, you framed a good person, so you are sentenced to one year in prison. Take him away."
"Yes." The four officers held the position and were walking out.
At this time, Li Zheng, who was once arrogant, was completely dumbfounded.
After being the king of Dafeng Village for many years, he had forgotten that even false accusations would lead to a prison sentence.
The villagers who followed the wind and saw his end, some spat on the ground, some cursed, and some threw things at him.
At first glance, one might think that they have a big grudge against Satoshi.
Qi Yunfeng shook his head and said to the middle-aged man, "Since you know this, why didn't you report it before?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man broke into a cold sweat. If he were to be investigated seriously, he would have to bear a charge.
"Sir, it was only after you came that I made such a bold guess."
Qi Yunfeng didn't care too much because he was in a hurry and found a good explanation for himself.
After all, his purpose this time has been achieved.
"Master He, look, this man is upright, what do you think?" Qi Yunfeng asked He Cheng for his opinion.
"Very good. The new face of Dafeng Village is you." He Cheng looked at the man and said with satisfaction.
The middle-aged man was very excited and thanked him quickly.
The villagers had different expressions. Some were happy and some were worried.
Gu Fangquan saw that the problem that he couldn't solve even if he couldn't eat or sleep was easily solved by Qi Yunfeng. He stood up and kowtowed to him.
"Second uncle, you can't do it." Seeing him like this, Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng quickly supported him.
Second uncle again? Gu Fangquan was helped up and looked at the two people he had never seen before with confusion.
If someone calls him second uncle, it is the daughter of his eldest sister who is far away in the capital.
But now in the northwest, why do people call him that?
"Second uncle, let's catch up on old times later. Master He and the others are leaving." Tang Xinyue said in a low voice.
Only then did Gu Fangquan notice that He Cheng was walking out. He immediately nodded to the two of them and went out to see off the guests.
He Cheng's case was settled, and he felt extremely happy.
He was extremely polite to the three people Gu Fangquan came out to see them off.
"You two, if you have nothing to do in the future, please come to the county government office often." After riding on the horse, he showed his kindness to Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue.
Somehow, the thought arose in his mind that if he relied closely on these two people in the future, his career would go smoothly.
After leaving Dafeng Village, he suddenly remembered something and asked the master next to him, "What was that man's identity before he was exiled?"
Qingshan County is located in the northwest of the Great Chu Dynasty. It is a remote place with few people, so the emperor likes to send exiles here.
He Cheng is an honest official and treats everyone equally, regardless of whether they are in exile or rich.
Therefore, he does not care about the status of the exiles before.
"Sir, he is the former Duke Qi Yunfeng." The master still knew that He Cheng was different.
"It's him." He Cheng stopped his horse and seemed to want to turn around.
After thinking about it, I let it go, kicked the horse's belly again, and continued walking forward.
No wonder he has such great abilities and is actually a majestic God of War.
In He Cheng's eyes, as long as he has been on the battlefield and defeated the enemy, even if he is not on the front line and has been exiled, he is still a well-deserved hero.
Gu family.
Gu Yuan and Gu Fangjie took a shower, and when they came out again, everyone was gone.
From Gu Fangquan's mouth, they learned that they had been cleared of their grievances, and that Li Zheng, who had oppressed them for many years, was imprisoned, and they cried with joy.
Seeing this scene, the whole family burst into tears.
If they hadn't gotten along with noble people today, they might have been ruined.
"By the way, where is Yue'er?" Gu Yuan wiped his face and asked.
Yue'er? Gu Fangquan was stunned for a moment, then thought that it was the woman who just called her second uncle, and immediately understood everything.
She is indeed the eldest sister's daughter.
"Dad, Yue'er and the others are outside the gate." As he said that, he walked out to call them in.
Outside the gate, the middle-aged man was elected as the face and was showing his loyalty to Qi Yunfeng.
He had to respect someone who even the county magistrate looked up to with admiration.
What's more, his integrity still depends on the other party.
Tang Xinyue stood aside, pulled Qi Yunfeng's sleeves, and motioned for him to go back to the house.
If she stayed outside any longer, she felt that the eyes of the women in the village would take Qi Yunfeng away.
Haha... By the way, is she a little jealous?
As soon as the two of them returned to the house and closed the door, they saw Gu Fangquan walking towards them.
"Yue'er, is it really you?" Gu Fangquan knew Tang Xinyue's identity at this time and regretted not responding to her twice before.
"Second uncle, it's me." Tang Xinyue replied happily like a child.
"Hey, I wish it was you." Gu Fangquan said, dragging on for a long time, as if he wanted to make up for the regret just now.
He introduced the two of them into the lobby, and the whole family recognized each other, and everyone was filled with emotion.
The three aunts were busy getting ready to celebrate the double happiness.
"Yue'er, how is your mother?" Mrs. Gu finally managed to stabilize her mood and asked a little choked with sobs.
At first, the Gu family was leaving, leaving mother and daughter alone in the capital, trapped in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Whenever she thought of this, her heart felt as if someone was pinching her.
Later, when she learned that her daughter had passed away, she hated why it was not herself.
Now that she knows that her daughter is alive and well and her granddaughter has grown up, Mrs. Gu feels that the hardships she has endured all these years have not been in vain.
God is indeed fair and finally makes them happy.
Chapter 156 Grandfather Moves
"Grandfather, grandmother, and three uncles, we now live in the ancient village. Although it is remote, it is better because of its beautiful environment. Mom and we both hope that your family can settle there."
After saying some personal words, Tang Xinyue invited directly.
"Yes, my grandfather, grandmother, and three uncles, every family in the ancient village has a house, so it won't be a problem for you to live in one room." Qi Yunfeng said half-jokingly.
The Gu family looked at each other, and finally Mrs. Gu said, "Okay, let's go."
Over the years, they have been separated from each other. It is really uncomfortable to live a life of alienation in Dafeng Village.
Now that her daughter has a better place to go, she naturally doesn't want to stay here anymore.
"It's just that if there are so many of us going, will it have a bad impact?" Gu Yuan was more worried.
He was afraid that a big family like his would go there and cause trouble to his daughter and make things difficult for her.
"Grandpa, the ancient village was vast and sparsely populated. We hope that as many people as possible can go there," Tang Xinyue advised.
"That's it, that's good." Gu Yuan was a little moved.
The three Gu family brothers glanced at each other, with smiles in each other's eyes.
They already have a deep dislike for the Dafeng Village where they live.
Although Qian Lizheng has stepped down, the villagers' attitude towards them will definitely change for the better under the leadership of Xin Lizheng.
But they can't tolerate sand in their eyes, and those people's changing faces will only make them more disgusted.
It would be best for them if they could leave this place of right and wrong.
"So, let's move after dinner, okay?" Qi Yunfeng asked the elders one by one with his eyes.
"Okay." Gu Yuan didn't hesitate, "It's better to leave early."
"It's just a pity that the fields and houses cannot be moved." Mrs. Gu looked around regretfully. It was a hard work for her family to build this.
"Grandma, this is easy to handle." Tang Xinyue comforted, "Who is the richest person in Dafeng Village?"
After everyone understood what he meant, their expressions brightened, and then darkened again.
The richest person in Dafeng Village is none other than the newly elected Li Zheng.
But who doesn't know that it is also the famous Iron Rooster in the village.
Getting him to spend money is harder than anything else.
"Yue'er, is there any other way?" Gu Fangjie asked.
"Uncle, don't worry, go and invite the rich man over, and I will try my best to make him willingly buy our land and property."
"Hey, okay." Gu Fangjie no longer hesitated, stood up immediately and walked out of the door.
After a while, he led Li Zheng over.
Tang Xinyue smiled when she saw this person.
This man is a smart man. He will definitely agree directly without saying anything.
Sure enough, after listening to Tang Xinyue saying that he wanted to sell the land and house, Li Zheng directly asked how much it would cost.
This boldness and courage no wonder made him stand out from so many villagers.
Li Zheng's thinking was simple. Being able to establish a good relationship with Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng would be beneficial to him in the future.
No matter in the future, if he can find an upright person now, he must thank these two people. He has no reason not to appreciate his beauty.
The Gu family did not expect that Li Zheng, who had always loved money as much as his life, would be so generous today, and they looked down upon him.
After summing up and agreeing on the price, I went home to get the banknote.
The Gu family's two acres of Susukawa land was just one house, and for Li Zheng, it didn't cost much.
After a while, he hurried back, handing over the money in one hand and holding the land deed and house deed in the other.
"Uncle Gu, I wonder when you will move? I can send someone to see you off."
Seeing that the Gu family was so anxious, Li Zheng asked deliberately.
"I'll leave after lunch." Gu Yuan replied in a good mood.
"Then I'll come over later and send a car to give you a lift." Li Zheng said sincerely.
He also wanted to see where these two masters lived.
Given this opportunity for friendship, he would not miss it.
"Would it be too much trouble for Satsuma?" Tanihara said politely.
In all the years they have been in Dafeng Village, this is the first time they have been treated like this.
"No trouble." Li Zheng waved his hand, "I'm ashamed to say that Uncle Gu's family has suffered in Dafeng Village."
Good people can be bullied, let alone outsiders like them.
Although he didn't treat the Gu family like other villagers, he didn't say a word for them either.
Seeing that he was upright, it could somewhat improve the Gu family's status, but they were leaving.
After the group exchanged a few pleasantries, Li Zheng left.
Not long after he left, the Gu family's lunch was also ready.
At this time, Tang Xinyue saw her six cousins and three cousins.
The three uncles' families all have two daughters and one son.
Except for the eldest aunt who is from the capital, the other two aunts' natal families are not far from Dafeng Village.
Six cousins, the oldest is fourteen years old and the youngest is ten years old.
Three cousins, the oldest is eleven years old and the youngest is nine years old.
With so many people crowded into such a house, it was really hard for my grandfather and his family.
"In the ancient village, there are many children about your age. When the time comes, it will be fun for you."
Although the children were a little afraid of meeting people, Tang Xinyue's words of laughter made their eyes light up.
Children in the village never play with them, and they are even teased when they go out.
This also allows them to be safe and secure. The nine brothers and sisters are at home by themselves, reading, writing, or playing.
Thinking about going to the Ancient Village and having so many peers to play with, I couldn't help but look forward to leaving as soon as possible.
"There's no rush. After dinner, everyone goes back to their rooms, packs their things, and gathers in the lobby." After saying that, Gu Fangjie asked everyone to sit down.
After dinner, everyone except Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng were busy cleaning up.
Taking her grandfather back to the ancient village went more smoothly than Tang Xinyue expected.
After she came to Dafeng Village, she planned to spend money to make the villagers clear her grandfather's family's name.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yunfeng chose Xin Lizheng in one fell swoop and resolved the crisis easily.
At this moment, she was wandering in the courtyard, admiring the flowers and plants in the courtyard in a good mood.
Qi Yunfeng sat there quietly, looking around at her with a smile on his face.
He didn't know why, but he was surprised to find that he was quietly different from before.
What's the difference? He thought about it, maybe he would rather just use words and not use force.
When did I have the skills that only scholars have?
Qi Yunfeng shook his head helplessly, changed into a comfortable position and closed his eyes to rest.
Once upon a time, in the military, the days he had dreamed of finally came true.
A quarter of an hour later, the Gu family packed their things and walked out one after another.
They had very few things, and it seemed that the family usually lived frugally.
The combined belongings of a family of seventeen could be hauled away in three mule carts.
Soon, Li Zheng also brought people over.
There were ten of them and they drove ten mule carts and stopped at the gate.
Li Zheng directed everyone to help get things together.
Qi Yunfeng picked up a big baggage and was about to send it out the door when he saw a familiar face running into his eyes.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he stood blankly on the spot.
Chapter 157 Cui Ran is still alive
Tang Xinyue noticed Qi Yunfeng's stiffness, followed his line of sight, and happened to see a person.
Isn't this person Cui Hao?
No, although he looks the same as Cui Hao, his demeanor is completely different.
The man's face was expressionless and a bit dull.
Li Zheng also noticed something strange about Qi Yunfeng, and saw a hint of joy in his eyes when he saw him looking at him.
This man was rescued on the roadside more than three years ago when he was out running errands.
At that time, he was seriously injured and covered in blood. He probably crawled for a long way before fainting.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Li Zheng thought that no matter whether he was dead or alive, he would take it home first.
Fortunately, the man was saved, but he felt a little stupid when he woke up.
Fortunately, he is obedient and has a lot of strength, so he is a good helper who can do things.
In this way, Li Zheng kept him at home to help with farm work and help.
At this moment, seeing Qi Yunfeng looking at the man in a daze, he was secretly happy. Could it be that he had saved some great person?
He quickly stepped forward and told the story of how he saved people.
After hearing this, Qi Yunfeng didn't say anything. He stepped forward and took down the things the man was moving, and hugged him.
The man was stunned and just stiffly cooperated with Qi Yunfeng's movements.
"Cui Ran, it's really you!"
Seeing Qi Yunfeng calling the man Cui Ran, Tang Xinyue verified her guess.
Cui Ran and Cui Hao are twin brothers.
Thinking about it, Cui Ran had already encountered changes before his father and brother happened in the north.
The third brother thought that of the two brothers, one of whom was alive and dead, and the other must not be harmed, he ruthlessly sent General Cui Hao to the military camp and asked him to go to Wuli County to serve as a sesame official.
After Cui Hao arrived in Wuli County, the northern army suffered a disaster.
Then, knowing that his third brother was working so hard, he worked up his energy to look for his brother and his old subordinates who were still alive.
The scene of surviving a catastrophe and reuniting after a long separation was touching, but Tang Xinyue couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
After helping her get the things, she helped her grandmother get into the car and asked her family to get into several cars.
Three mule carts carry goods, and seven mule carts carry people. The interior of the mule cart that seats people is still very comfortable, and it is very appropriate to do things inside.
Tang Xinyue looked at it and became more and more pleased with it.
Regardless of the past, his performance today alone is remarkable enough.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for them, Qi Yunfeng took Cui Hao's hand and got into the car, asking him to sit next to him.
Qi Yunfeng took the lead in driving, and the group headed toward Shanggu Village in a mighty manner.
Ancient village.
Cui Hao and the others asked Zhu Zhu and the others to finish their afternoon training and then took them to play basketball.
The more pillars there are, the more he likes them.
This guy is not only thick-skinned, but he has also been beaten. No matter how much he is scolded or punished, he can turn around and become energetic immediately.
Such a rugged appearance reminded Cui Hao of his own childhood and made him feel ashamed.
Zhuzi was so responsible that even his little brothers all followed him.
Cui Hao and Xu Da, one plays a bad role and the other plays a red face.
These kids were able to withstand the beating and let Cui Hao dress up in blackface, which was quite a sense of accomplishment.
Xu Da complained a lot, and his red face made him sing boringly.
It wasn't until they were playing basketball that the two of them really became one with the children.
When Qi Yunfeng and his team stepped onto the wooden bridge, the originally bustling basketball court immediately fell silent.
Except for Zhu Zhu and his group of children, everyone else was alert.
"Let's go." Qi Yunyi and Cui Hao gave orders at the same time and headed for the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village.
As they were running quickly through a house, they happened to see a group of carriages and horses coming off a wooden bridge in the distance.
Cui Hao immediately saw the man sitting next to Qi Yunfeng.
That's not...
He couldn't believe his eyes. After rubbing them vigorously, he really believed that his brother was still alive.
"Isn't that Brother Ran?"
"Yes, that's Cui Ran?"
"Cui Ran is still alive!"
Everyone cheered, they saw a good brother again.
As the mule cart approached, Cui Hao noticed something strange about his brother.
He sat next to Qi Yunfeng, like a tall log, his expression and body were extremely stiff.
This... After Cui Hao was briefly disappointed, his expression improved again.
No matter what, my brother is still alive, which is the happiest thing.
Qi Yunfeng pointed forward with his finger. Everyone understood and turned around to walk back.
Cui Hao was very anxious and started running again, all the way to the entrance of Qi Yunfeng's row of houses.
As soon as his front foot stopped, the rear foot team came.
Several children were playing at the door. When they saw a motorcade coming, they quickly went into the house to call for help.
In the courtyard, Gu Shi and Guizhi, who had heard some noise, walked out quickly.
Mrs. Gu was obviously a little excited. She knew that her daughter was going to see her grandfather and the others today. Could it be that she came so soon?
When she came out, in the crowd of people, she happened to see her daughter helping her mother out of the car. She burst into tears immediately, ran over without caring about anything, and knelt down in front of her parents with a plop.
"Father, mother..."
Gu Yuan and Mrs. Gu helped Mrs. Gu up, their vision blurred with tears.
Their daughter, who was thought to have died long ago, now appears alive in front of them, making both old people burst into tears.
The three of them hugged each other and burst into tears.
When they were done crying, Tang Xinyue said, "Mom, go home first."
"Okay." Mrs. Gu felt a little guilty for letting her parents stand outside for so long.
"Sister." When the three younger brothers and sisters saw that Mrs. Gu had stopped crying, they stepped forward and shouted.
"Hey." Before she could finish a word, Gu Shi burst into tears again.
She knew that life had been difficult for everyone in recent years, and it was difficult for her three talented brothers to live in this northwest land with nowhere to display their ambitions.
When the house was allocated to her grandfather's family, Guizhi proposed that she would move to the back row so that the whole family could be in one row.
After saying that, she couldn't help but go back to move things with Tang Kai.
They didn't have many things, and with everyone helping out, it didn't take much effort.
In this way, Mrs. Gu felt even more sorry for Guizhi.
In desperation, Tang Xinyue had to give the room where Guizhi originally lived to her grandfather and grandmother.
The remaining three rooms next to Gu's were given to Gu Fangjie, Gu Fangquan and Gu Fangkai in turn.
Grandpa's family came over, and my mother and her family were finally reunited. For Tang Xinyue, this was the happiest thing after coming to Qingshan County.
For Cui Hao, today is the happiest day in more than three years.
Cui Ran is still alive, and their brothers are reunited, which makes him extremely grateful to the Gu family.
If they hadn't gone to Dafeng Village to pick up the Gu family, the brothers wouldn't have known how long they would have been separated.
However, after the initial joy, when he saw Cui Ran's miserable condition, his face became very ugly.
"Don't worry, your seventh brother and sister will cure Cui Ran when they have time." Qi Yunyi on the side patted Cui Hao on the shoulder and said.
"Seventh younger sister? Does she treat illnesses?" Cui Hao was surprised and happy.
Chapter 158 A Flower
"That is, otherwise, you think I can stand in front of you properly." Qi Yunyi said with emotion.
"Third brother, that's great." Cui Hao took Cui Ran's hand, "Ranzi, you are saved."
When Zhu Zhu and the others ran out of breath to watch the excitement, they found two identical Brother Cui.
"Brother Cui, do you have a younger brother?"
"Brother Cui, why do you look the same?"
"Yeah, I can't even tell the difference."
"You can tell the difference clearly, one is fierce and the other is not."
The children talked to each other one by one, and Cui Hao stopped losing his temper. It was rare that the children gathered around Cui Ran and pulled him to play together.
Cui Ran seemed to have become a child and really played games with them.
As he held hands, jumped high, turned in circles, and chased the children, he finally had a smile on his face and his movements were not so stiff.
This scene made Cui Hao stunned.
My brother, who had been acting like a wooden man just now and had no reaction to anything he said, now seemed to be alive.
"These bastards are of some use." Cui Hao cursed lovingly.
Even if his brother never recovers, if he can live a carefree life like his children, that will be a blessing among misfortunes.
As an older brother, he has always been with his younger brother, and living in the ancient village is quite good.
Li Zheng and others in Dafeng Village still couldn't believe it when they saw what the ancient village looked like, and they looked around.
After the Gu family moved their things, when they heard that they were going to the Ancient Village, their scalps went numb.
Shanggu Village is the famous rat village in Qingshan County. Who dares to go there?
But everything was loaded into the car and people were seated. It seemed a little unreasonable for them to say no.
At that time, Li Zheng looked at Qi Yunfeng's momentum, gritted his teeth, and advised his people to just follow suit.
The sky fell, but a tall man held it up. The mouse is coming, and there are experts in front.
When they get to the ancient village, they can just act according to the situation.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the Ancient Village, their eyes were almost blown away.
Everyone was talking about the rat village. Not only did we not see a single rat, we also saw many tall, mighty and extraordinary people.
Then there were the neat rows of houses, which made them a little envious.
This place is simply a hundred times better than their one-of-a-kind Dafeng Village in Qingshan County.
It is said that there are outstanding people, and this is absolutely true.
In the eyes of the people of Dafeng Village, the ancient village was not as pleasant as it is now when there were no rats.
But after Qi Yunfeng and the others moved in, it became a geomantic treasure that everyone loved.
When dinner time came, Qi Yunfeng invited them to eat together.
It was a little late and they were left to stay for one night.
At this time, Qi Yunfeng already knew that there was Zheng, whose surname was Feng and whose name was Dakui. He had the experience of traveling all over the country in his early years, and he was considered a man.
That night, the cooking area was changed and moved to the first row of the two empty fan-shaped areas.
In the two houses, there are separate places for men and women to eat.
The men's house was also occupied by people invited from the families of Qiu, He and Mao.
As for the female relatives, it is still the same group of people who schedule meals.
This arrangement was also the result of Tang Xinyue's discussion with the Qi family the day before.
Grandma's family is coming over, and there are a lot of people, so this arrangement will be better.
She was still thinking about when she would go to Kaizhou and invite the boatman and his family over.
The food cooked by the boatman is still mentioned from time to time.
Feng Dakui sat in the crowd, eating with everyone, feeling the different atmosphere, and suddenly he had an impulse.
He has two legitimate daughters, three concubines, and eight nieces. Wouldn't it be a good thing if all of them could marry into the ancient village?
He was making plans in his mind, looking at a group of big men, the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
He just made inquiries and found out that most of these people are not married yet.
Moreover, there seems to be an unwritten rule in the ancient village, that is, every family is monogamous and no concubinage is allowed.
Originally, he was worried that his three concubines would not be able to find good families because of their poor backgrounds, but now he no longer had to worry.
Shanggu Village only said that concubines were not allowed, but it did not prohibit concubines.
If he could have a better relationship with Qi Yunfeng, the three concubines would definitely be married to her.
While Feng Dakui was making calculations, Cui Hao and Cui Ran came over to toast him with a glass of wine each.
When Cui Ran saw Feng Dakui, his expression remained unchanged.
After meeting Cui Hao, he instinctively felt that he was just close to him.
There is no difference between other people in his eyes.
Cui Hao naturally respects his younger brother's savior.
At the beginning, Feng Dakui saved people just out of good intentions and did not expect that one day he would be treated like this.
Today is a double blessing for him.
Because he saved Cui Ran, everyone else respected him.
This kind of lack of utilitarianism was purely out of respect for him as a person, which made Feng Dakui feel that this was even more glorious than becoming Li Zheng.
His help to the Gu family was really not in vain.
On the female side, the eldest child of the Gu family has become involved with Qi Lan and the others.
The younger children were in a group with Xiaohua and the others.
Everyone knows that the children of the Gu family are the cousins of the seventh sister-in-law, and they are particularly affectionate towards them.
The six cousins of the Gu family, in such a sheltered environment, naturally stopped being restrained and had fun with everyone.
Guizhi saw that meals were arranged separately for men and women, and she was no longer as careful as before.
In addition, when the Gu family came over, it was as if they were also members of her natal family, and they ate an extra bowl of rice when they were happy.
After eating, Qi Yunfeng asked Cui Hao to take Feng Dakui to stay with him, while he took Cui Ran back.
Cui Hao remembered Qi Yunyi's words and quickly agreed without asking.
After handing Cui Ran to Qi Yunfeng with confidence, he politely led Feng Dakui and others away.
Here, after Tang Xinyue sent her grandfather, family and mother back one by one, she returned home and saw Qi Yunfeng and Cui Ran sitting in the lobby.
After getting along for a long time, they have a tacit understanding of each other.
Needless to say a lot, the other party will know what to do.
Tang Xinyue extended a thumb to Qi Yunfeng, then took out the detoxification pill from the space and handed it to his hand.
Qi Yunfeng received her praise and proudly put the poison-clearing pill into Cui Hao's mouth.
"Send him to rest first, and then take him into the space after he falls asleep." Tang Xinyue instructed.
In her opinion, Cui Ran's condition is not serious. He can recover by lying on the smart medical device for up to four hours.
The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, Cui Hao was already waiting at Qi Yunfeng's gate.
Yesterday he came so early because of basketball, and today it was naturally because of Cui Ran.
He was too excited to sleep the night before, and he was too worried to sleep last night.
Although Qi Yunyi's words were in front of him, he was still like a pancake, tossing and turning, sleepless all night.
At this time, Tang Xinyue got up and wanted to send Cui Ran, who was sleeping on the smart medical device, out of space.
She was afraid that Cui Ran would wake up early and see the existence of space like Qi Yunfeng.
After sending Cui Ran out, she saw Cui Hao waiting at the door.
Brotherly love is deep, I'm afraid it can't be more than this.
After dawn, Cui Hao couldn't help but straighten up when he saw the door open.
Cui Ran walked out. After seeing him, their eyes met and the air froze for a moment.
"Ranzi." Cui Hao called out tentatively.
"Brother." Cui Ran was completely recovered.
The two brothers ran to each other, hugged each other, and cried in each other's arms.
"Brother, I saw a man with a flower on his head." Cui Ran controlled his emotions and told the most terrifying scene in his memory.
A human head is a flower? Cui Hao was shocked.
Chapter 159 The stamen is missing
Not only Cui Hao was surprised by Cui Ran's words, but also Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue who came out changed their faces when they heard this sentence.
A person's head is a flower, and apart from the stamen, there will be no one else.
Every time the pistil appears, doesn't it always cover its head with a veil?
"Cui Ran, can you elaborate on the situation at that time?" Qi Yunfeng asked.
He and Tang Xinyue exchanged glances and confirmed that this matter was a bit strange.
After Cui Ran recovered, the first thing he mentioned was this. His experience might be related to Hua Rui.
Cui Ran nodded, his eyes becoming distracted.
That day, he was out on inspection and came across a small river. When he was getting water to drink, he suddenly found a man on the other side of the river bowing his head to drink water.
However, the man's movements were strange. He remained standing and just put his head into the water.
How long is this end so that you can drink water?
Cui Ran was stunned. When the man finished drinking the water, he discovered that the man's head was actually a flower.
The man noticed Cui Ran's abnormality and realized that his situation was exposed, so he rushed over with a splash of water and hit him hard on the head.
After that, Cui Ran didn't know anything until he woke up now.
"Do you remember what the flower you saw looks like?" Tang Xinyue seemed to have thought of something and asked worriedly.
"Red, the flower center is yellow." Cui Ran said with great certainty.
That scene was firmly imprinted in his mind, and even after so long, he still remembered it clearly.
"Can you draw it?" Tang Xinyue confirmed again.
"Yes." Cui Ran immediately found a stone and started drawing on the ground.
Full and huge petals, dense and compact flower center, isn't this what a piranha looks like?
"Did the man you saw wear black clothes and a veil?" Tang Xinyue already realized that the situation was not good.
"Exactly." Cui Ran nodded.
If the man squatted down when he was drinking water, he might not be able to detect the abnormality.
But the man stood, but raised his head long into the water, and the veil could no longer cover everything.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Tang Xinyue felt so angry that blood surged all over her body.
Realizing that she must have discovered something, Qi Yunfeng waved to the Cui Hao brothers and asked them to leave first.
Cui Hao quickly pulled Cui Ran and left quickly.
He had never seen Tang Xinyue so uncalm before. It seemed that Ranzi had brought back some important news this time.
"Let's go, brother will take you to celebrate."
No matter how they deal with that guy who is neither human nor ghost in the future, it will not affect the good mood of their brotherly reunion at this moment.
After they left, Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng quickly entered the house and closed the door.
After the two entered the space, Tang Xinyue opened the space door to Dachu Palace.
She had always whistled and asked Hua Rui to meet. This time, she would take the initiative to find Hua Rui.
Open the space door from space and go anywhere, just like being invisible.
She can see everything outside through the space, and no one outside will notice anything.
However, when she searched the entire palace, she could not find any trace of the flower stamen, not even the slightest breath.
What's even more weird is that Emperor Yuanling, the emperor who became the emperor after the evil spirit possessed King Rui, is like an ordinary person, without any spiritual power in his body.
Could it be that Hua Rui used the divided spirit to extract the spiritual power of the resentful spirit from Emperor Yuan Ling?
Thinking of this, Tang Xinyue regretted spitting out the red dragon's spirit and giving it to Huarui when she was in Kaizhou.
She thought about it carefully, everything was said by the stamens.
Once upon a time, at the beginning, Hua Rui blamed the fourth prince; after the fourth prince died, he blamed the evil spirit; the evil spirit was divided into two, and the second spirit became the scapegoat; after the second spirit was absorbed by the glazed coffin, Zifeng became the chief culprit. The culprit.
But now, the purple phoenix has been burned to ashes by the red dragon, but the stamen has never appeared.
This period of time seemed so comfortable that Tang Xinyue didn't even remember the crises around her.
She also neglected that in the first place, she only attracted the piranha after destroying the piranha in Shiwanda Mountain.
A hundred thousand mountains? Thinking of this, she immediately opened the space door again and headed there.
However, after arriving at Shiwanda Mountain, it was the same place as before. Where the piranha originally grew, there was nothing.
She once thought that the flower stamen was the Colorful Glazed Pagoda, and the flower stamen also claimed to be the tower spirit of the Colorful Glazed Pagoda. However, how could she be a piranha flower?
Tang Xinyue was extremely frustrated and had a sense of crisis that things were out of her control.
"Blow the jade whistle to see if the stamens will come?" Qi Yunfeng couldn't bear to see her so distressed and reminded.
"Yes." Tang Xinyue's expression improved.
Since we can't find her, let's see if she will come to the appointment.
Immediately, Tang Xinyue came out of the space, stood next to the big pit filled by her mountain, and blew the jade whistle hard.
However, the stamens that used to appear within five breaths, this time, have not appeared for a quarter of an hour.
After so long, the flower stamen will definitely not appear again.
Did the flower stamen that wanted her to open the door to ancient time and space find a way back?
Thinking of this, Tang Xinyue's eyes lit up.
Could it be that the flower stamen has returned to the ancient world?
Thinking more about everything related to the stamens, Tang Xinyue became more and more sure of her conjecture.
Everything Hua Rui did was to return to the ancient world, not to find the glazed coffin and Emperor Jun.
After knowing that Qi Yunfeng was the reincarnation of Emperor Jun, he didn't see the pistil, so what was the difference between Qi Yunfeng and Qi Yunfeng.
Of course, Tang Xinyue knew that these current conjectures were not necessarily correct.
If they want to find out the truth, then only if they break into the ancient world can everything be revealed.
Tang Xinyue, who originally had no interest in the ancient world, was stimulated by Hua Rui to arouse all her fighting spirit.
She wanted to ask Hua Rui face to face, why did she pull out so many tricks?
We also need to take a look, what exactly is she going to do?
While unwilling to give up, she was also extremely lucky that she did not reveal anything about Bai Feng and Chi Long to Hua Rui.
After sorting out her thoughts, Tang Xinyue confirmed that the worst thing she had ever done was to hand over her spirit to Huarui.
For this reason, she also wanted to find the pistil and make things clear.
After returning to the space and explaining to Qi Yunfeng, both of them were determined to step into the ancient world as soon as possible to find out.
Next, they must plan the lives of the people in the ancient village while actively looking for the door to the ancient world.
After Hua Rui returns to ancient times, who knows what kind of bloody storm will happen again?
At this point, the two of them absolutely believed that the ancient destruction thousands of years ago was most likely instigated by the stamens.
But it is definitely not what she said, all the blame lies with Zifeng of the Feng clan.
Things seem to be getting closer to the truth, but they are becoming more confusing.
Chapter 160 Who dares to invade
Three months later, life in the ancient village began to get back on track.
Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo formally organized the people who participated in the training into the Qijia Army.
Although there are not many soldiers in the Qi family, they are already impressive.
If they go to the battlefield, they will definitely be one against ten.
Qi Zhengning and Gu Fangjie began to lead everyone to plow the fields and plant crops.
The children of the former aristocratic families put aside their aloofness, rolled up their sleeves, rolled up their trouser legs, and went to the ground barefoot one by one.
Far away from the emperor's capital and rooted in the countryside, they can only survive by saving themselves.
After the initial adjustment, everyone quickly adapted to their new identities.
This kind of joy of reaping rewards for every hard work also allows these scholars to see the poetry of returning to pastoral life.
Chen Rui and Qi Heming have already opened two shops in Qingshan County, a clothing store and a pastry shop.
The supplies for the two shops were obtained by them after getting the raw materials and production methods from Tang Xinyue and teaching them to the women in the village one by one.
The female family members each receive their own wages according to the amount of production.
For shops in the county, they also hire local shopkeepers and waiters to maintain operations.
The villagers in Shanggu Village each perform their duties, and everything is developing in a good direction.
Shanggu Village has become the most famous village in Qingshan County.
It was Feng Dakui who had the foresight. Thanks to his successful operation, his family's three daughters and nieces who were about to be married have already been engaged to people from the ancient village.
At the same time, under his promotion, many families rushed to hire matchmakers to marry their daughters to the ancient village.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng were naturally willing to facilitate such a thing.
Another month later, Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun came to seek refuge with a group of people.
They brought their families and moved into sixty houses.
This time, Pearl followed them all the way.
At the same time, they brought news that Governor Qin had become the governor of Kaizhou.
As the number of people in the ancient village increased, a school was opened in the village, with Gu Yuan, Qi Zhengning, and the heads of the three families as teachers.
Zhu Zhu and the others currently spend the first half of the day in school and the second half of the day training.
Children who do not participate in training are in school all day.
On this day, after breakfast, Qi Yunyi was training troops when he suddenly waved his hand to calm everyone down.
Everyone stopped and noticed something unusual at the same time.
The boundary river actually had a huge sound of flowing water.
"Let's go." Qi Yunyi waved his hand and everyone headed towards the boundary river.
After the Qijia Army was established, each of them was equipped with enough weapons, which were hidden weapons, soft whips and long swords that Tang Xinyue bought from Gujin Pavilion.
These three weapons are easy to carry and can be used at any time just in case.
It seems that the ancient village without rats has once again become a favorite in the eyes of the Western Plains and the Northern Territory.
When they came to the boundary river, they saw hundreds of small boats carrying nearly a thousand people arrogantly crossing the river.
Everyone on the ship has exaggerated hair, colorful facial makeup, and weird costumes.
Dressing up like this not only makes them look scary, but also makes it easier to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy at a glance.
"You really don't know how to live or die." Qi Yunyi snorted coldly and sneered at their appearance.
"Hey, it's easy to hit a bull's-eye like this."
"It's been a while since I've had a big meal. There are appetizers today, which are pretty good."
Haha... everyone burst into laughter.
Qi Yunyi and his men stood firmly by the boundary river, waiting patiently as if watching a fish trying to swim ashore.
On the river bank, someone hurriedly pointed to the leader, indicating that there was something going on on the bank.
When the leader wearing white feathers immediately looked towards the shore, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
The people on the shore were lined up in a row, looking at them with smiles in their eyes, as if they were looking forward to the fresh food being cooked.
This... seemed completely different from the past, and the leader panicked.
In the past, he also brought residents from the intersection of Xiyuan and Beijing to the ancient village of Dachu.
But never once did the villagers wait here as if they knew they were coming.
At that time, when they saw them, the villagers had already disappeared. How dare they confront them?
"Quickly, turn around and go back." Immediately, he gave the order to retreat.
There were a lot of rats in the village, and there were people moving around on the boundary river, so he summoned his old men and plucked up the courage to come over and have a look.
Seeing the momentum of the people on the shore, and thinking about the rats that they were all afraid of, being subdued by these people, he never dared to underestimate the enemy.
"Go back, quickly." His voice became more urgent, fearing that if it were any later, his life would be in danger.
Seeing them going back in despair, Qi Jiajun burst into laughter.
"Next time you dare to attack, you will be dead." Qi Yunyi's voice sounded like a bell, ringing into the ears of those people.
They quickly covered their ears, grateful that they could escape this time.
With such strength, they absolutely believe that if they come again next time, there will be no return.
When the bows of the boats were pulled back, some of them used too much force and either hit other boats or capsized directly, causing chaos in the water.
They were extremely arrogant in the ancient village before, but this time they finally experienced the panic of running away like a bereaved dog.
After scaring away these idiots, Qi Jiajun was in a good mood and shouted oh oh oh, as if cheering for the people in the water.
To dare to intrude on others with such skill is simply the fearlessness of an ignorant person.
Watching them from a distance after they landed ashore, they didn't even care about the boat. After it dispersed with a bang, Qi Yunyi returned with the people.
With them in the ancient village, who would dare to invade?
Time passed by again, and on this day, on the wooden bridge entering the village, I leisurely stepped on a horse's leg.
The horse, which had been exhausted after traveling so hard, was now panting heavily.
The person sitting immediately was Mo Yukun.
When a stranger is seen approaching from a distance, some villagers go in to report.
When Tang Xinyue used her mental power to detect that the person coming was him, she quickly came out with Qi Yunfeng to greet him.
When Mo Yukun saw the huge village and was about to find someone to ask, he happened to see the two of them walking out.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Mo Yukun was taken directly to the school grounds.
Mo Yukun, who had been traveling all the time, saw many fourteen-year-old and fifteen-year-old boys on the school grounds, and his original fatigue was suddenly washed away.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the purpose of coming here, and his eyes carefully scanned the faces of each child.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng did not disturb him, and walked aside from a distance to watch Zhu Zhu and the others training.
Dong Yi and the others were not too curious about the Mo Yukun they brought, and just did whatever they needed to do.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother and sister, what does this person do?" Qi Yunyi stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, his eyes are weird." Qi Yunzhuo followed him and said dissatisfiedly.
If it weren't for the sake of the seventh brother and his sister, these two brothers would have driven them away long ago.
"Third brother, sixth brother, don't be anxious, just wait and watch the show." Qi Yunfeng comforted.
"What show are you watching?" The two brothers were really excited.
"It's a big show to steal people." Tang Xinyue's words immediately dampened their initial enthusiasm.
Stealing people? Those are their treasures, how can they allow others to snatch them away?
"Don't be impatient. Just one is enough." Qi Yunfeng suppressed a smile.
"Not even one." Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo said in unison.
Then, they walked towards Mo Yukun and shouted rudely, "Hey, where did you come from?"
"What are you looking at?"
