After so many things happened, no one stayed long. Some wanted to go back to rest, and some needed to count their losses. The little beggar who lived in the hospital finally woke up after being in a coma for three days.
But this time she became more silent than before. When she learned that she was resting in the medical center of Hongshan Town, she showed great discomfort. The little beggar even ignored her still weak body. Will leave immediately.
Tianquan was helpless, but seeing that the little beggar had decided to leave, he was worried about him, so he offered to find a stable place for him to live. The little beggar didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced.
On the other side, after hearing that Tianquan and others were leaving, Li Zheng specially arranged manpower to hold a grand banquet to see off his benefactor.
After nightfall, Tianquan came to check on the little beggar's injuries and confirmed that he was no longer seriously injured. He was just a little weak and it would take some time to fully recover.
He came outside and saw Lu Hanjiang, Huangfu Xiaoyuan, and the Zhao brothers and sisters. After the battle at Xiaofei Gorge, the relationship between these two people had obviously become much closer. At this time, he did not hide anything and bluntly stated his intention to leave.
Several people looked at each other, and Zhao Ziyi spoke first and asked: "I don't know where the president plans to go. My sister and I are also planning to go on the road. Maybe we can go the same way?"
This experience in Xiaofei Gorge made Zhao Ziyi understand even more that when traveling in the world, one must either develop good martial arts skills or make some good friends. If one does not rely on both parties, life will be really difficult.
He invited Tianquan to accompany him. On the one hand, he was kind to him and he wanted to repay him if he had the chance. On the other hand, he was also worried about encountering similar mountain bandits again. He had a friend with strong martial arts skills by his side. They can also be safer.
Tianquan thought for a while and said: "This time Pindao was ordered by his master to go to the capital to do some things. I wonder where they want to go?"
Zhao Ziyi and Zhao Zijun looked at each other and said overjoyed: "What a coincidence. We brothers and sisters are also going to the capital. Why don't Taoist Master Tianquan come with us, so that we can look out for each other on the way."
Zhao Ziyi studied under Mr. Luo. He went to the capital this time at the invitation of Qi Yunzhou, the acting president of the academy. Meihua Academy suffered a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River. It was the time to rebuild in the capital and needed manpower. As a disciple of the academy, he was naturally obligated. .
Tianquan was also overjoyed: "Then please two of you, please take care of me on the way."
After that, he looked at Lu Hanjiang again and asked, "Brother Yue, Miss Yue, what are your plans?"
Lu Hanjiang looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that my sister and I are from the capital. We are heading north this time to go home, so we can go on the road together."
Several people expressed their feelings about the wonderful fate. Tianquan added: "One more thing, Pindao is a little embarrassed. Everyone knows about the girl from the Qian family. She doesn't want to continue to stay in this sad place. Pindao hopes that everything will start well and end well." , so I plan to take her away and find a stable place for her to stay."
Zhao Ziyi nodded in agreement and said: "I admire the benevolence and righteousness of the Taoist Priest. In my opinion, we will pass through many places on our way north. It would be better for the Taoist Priest to look at it as we go. If there is any suitable place, we will choose it." One is to accommodate Miss Qian."
"Such a great kindness." Tianquan also agreed. The few of them discussed the arrangements for tomorrow's trip. Seeing that it was getting late at night, they each said goodbye and went back to rest.
Lu Hanjiang and Tianquan were staying in the same inn. On their way home, when he saw that the other party was worried, Lu Hanjiang asked, "Fellow Taoist Tianquan seems to have something on his mind?"
Tianquan sighed: "The poor Taoist is thinking that although the Xiaofeixia bandits were captured this time, they were also victims of persecution by evil people. Now they deserve their fate, but those high-ranking officials, But still safe and sound.”
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tianquan and said, "If Taoist Fellow Tianquan is talking about the magistrate who protected the Qian family back then, then you can rest assured."
"Oh?" Tian Quan asked slightly surprised, "How do you say this?"
"The county magistrate back then must have brought it upon himself." Lu Hanjiang smiled and told Tianquan what he knew from the county government files.
Back then, the townspeople of Ba Bubu were bullied by the Qian family, and reporting to the officials was useless, so he got angry and stormed into the Qian family's old house with a knife, killing all of them, men, women, old and young.
It seems that the Qian family was wiped out by Ba Buping, but in fact, in addition to the little beggar aunt and nephew, the Qian family has other living people. It is easy to understand when you think about it. Cunning Rabbit Sanku, a family that can collude with the local government to dominate , how could there be only one old house.
In fact, although the main line of the Qian family was killed and almost extinct, there were still some living members of the branch family. They were initially angered by Ba Buping's actions, and originally planned to ask the magistrate to take action to avenge them.
Unexpectedly, when the county magistrate saw that the Qian family was slaughtered, he had the intention to cross the river and demolish the bridge. In addition, everyone in Hongshan Town was interested in Xiaofei Gorge Green Forest at that time. It would not only take a lot of effort for him to go out to suppress the bandits, but he would also lose a good reputation, so After thinking about it, he ignored the Qian family's appeal.
This made Qian's family angry. They spent money to bribe the county magistrate, just to find a protective umbrella for themselves. They usually provide this umbrella with good food and drink, but now it's better. When the heavy rain comes, this umbrella becomes It's papery.
The Qian family was not angry and simply gave up. Since they were not having a good time, they might as well just stay away from it. So this group of people had the idea of destroying the situation. In the following days, they began to compete with the magistrate.
Although Ba Buping killed people, they were motivated by anger at the time and had not yet realized they were bandits, so the Qian family's vast wealth was still there.
The Qian family relied on this money to forcefully establish a relationship with their superiors and pull down the county magistrate. However, after all this trouble, they themselves suffered a lot, and the family eventually fell into decline.
In the end, the county magistrate and the Qian family were destroyed together, and the remaining branches of the Qian family were disheartened. They separated on the spot and went their separate ways. Only the beggar aunt and nephew of the main family were left to survive in Hongshan Town.
After listening to Lu Hanjiang's words, Tian Quan was silent for a while and sighed: "The way of heaven is constant, and evil people still need to be punished by evil people."
"The past is like smoke, and the right and wrong of the past will be commented by future generations." Lu Hanjiang looked at Tianquan and said with a smile: "Now that I know that the culprit deserved his punishment, does Taoist friend feel better?"
"Thank you, Brother Yue, for telling me about this." Tian Quan clasped his fists towards Lu Hanjiang, but there was no happy expression on his face.
As the group of people walked, the atmosphere was a bit dull. Lu Hanjiang asked casually: "By the way, I don't know what my friend is going to do in the capital? I have been living in the capital for a long time, so maybe I can help you."
"Thank you, Brother Yue, for your kindness."
Tian Quan hesitated for a moment, but felt that there was nothing he could not say, so he said bluntly: "Brother Yue must have heard about the Nanshan Immortal case that was vigorously pursued by the imperial guards not long ago."
Lu Hanjiang nodded: "This matter has far-reaching implications, so I will naturally hear about it."
Tianquan sighed: "Uncle Nanshan is also a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. Although the matter is over, there are still details that need to be dealt with. Uncle Nanshan is dead, but several senior brothers are still staying in the capital because of this matter. Pindao's trip is to bring them back on behalf of the master."
"That's it." Lu Hanjiang suddenly realized.
One night passed, and early the next morning, Hongshan Town was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Under the leadership of Li Zheng, drums and music were blaring, and the cheers were thunderous. The townspeople gathered outside the inn where Taoist Master Tianquan stayed, waiting to give him a gift. The benefactor saw him off.
However, the ritual music was played twice and the firecrackers were fired seven or eight times, but everyone was still waiting for Taoist Master Tianquan. Li Zheng couldn't help but knock on the door of the guest room, but there was no one inside.
Surprised, everyone searched the town, but there was no trace of Taoist Priest Tianquan and his party. For a moment, the red scene was tinged with embarrassment.
At this time, Taoist Master Tianquan, who was missed by the people of Hongshan Town, had already left the town. After accompanying him to worship the tomb of the little beggar's aunt, he took the little beggar with him and went north with Lu Hanjiang and others.
