I opened my eyes and looked down at the ground for a long time.
At this time, I began to struggle in my heart.
When I returned to Jiuhe County, I wanted to resolve my mother's matter. I couldn't let her stay alone in Xuanhe without letting go.
Similarly, I also want to find out my life experience, and who was the person who sent my mother to sacrifice to the river god back then!
It was only because the paper man Xu had a broken arm and his second uncle was disabled that I took action against Tang Quan and Xie An.
Just halfway through, this dream gave me a second omen...
This is only two days...
I'm afraid it's impossible for me to finish one thing at a time.
I have to at least start to inquire about things upstream, and I can't delay it any longer. This also requires me to arrange things more carefully, so as not to make any mistakes in the Tangquan matter.
Taking a few deep breaths, I calmed my thoughts.
I took out my pocket watch and took a look. It was already past noon... I slept until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Get up and push the door open to leave the house.
In addition to the paper man Xu and his second uncle, there is another person in the courtyard!
Surprisingly, it was Huo Kunmin!
Obviously, the person Xu said he wanted to bring back was Huo Kunmin.
But today's Huo Kunmin has lost the majesty he had back then, and his Chinese-character face looks pale and weak.
However, Huo Kunmin looked very excited.
The three of them looked back at me at the same time. The eyes of the second uncle and the paper man Xu were also very happy. The second uncle waved quickly and whispered: "Yin Yang, come here quickly!"
After I came closer, Huo Kunmin stretched out his hand and grasped my palm tightly. His tone was trembling: "Mr. Li, you have done a great thing! What a great thing!"
I held Huo Kunmin's hand with a lot of doubts in my eyes, and then I asked them what happened?
Huo Kunmin suppressed his emotions. After the three of them looked at each other, what they explained to me was Xu.
He roughly said that although the Huo family was occupied with the house and the shop on the surface, in fact the people's hearts still belonged to Huo Kunmin. The Huo family had already hidden part of their assets after learning from the previous warlords.
This time Huo Kunmin was lucky enough to save his life, and his family's financial situation was not really in decline.
The intention of the paper man Xu was to use Huo Kunmin's hand to secretly observe Tang Quan and spread rumors.
In fact, Huo Kunmin had sent people to watch the "Tang Mansion" at any time a long time ago. Not long after he arrived at the paper shop in the morning, someone sent a message saying that the door of the Tang Mansion was closed today. It was not like usual. Tsuen Hui swaggers through the city.
Only through the servants in the house did we know that when Tang Quan got out of bed last night, the bed frame suddenly fell down! There was a big gaping hole in the head!
I asked a doctor to come to my house for bandage overnight, but today I have a typhoid fever and I can't get out of bed!
When Paperman Xu said this, he did not continue, but his eyes fell on Huo Kunmin.
Huo Kunmin clenched his fist heavily and said in a deep voice: "I have spread rumors that Tangquan burned, killed, tortured, and robbed civilian girls. The reason why Tangquan suffered retribution is because a man came from our Jiuhe County. gentlemen!"
"Sir, he couldn't see that he was committing all kinds of evil, so he punished him! Tang Quan's retribution will not end there, there will be more!"
"Then Xie An has been captured by sir and handed over to the county militia."
"Now the people in the city who have been bullied by him are all cheering for joy, and even the children are singing nursery rhymes on the road." I was stunned for a moment, bowed my head and fell silent.
The second uncle quickly explained and said: "Yin Yang, you don't have to misunderstand."
The excitement and joy on Huo Kunmin's face suddenly turned into a hint of uneasiness.
He also immediately said: "Mr. Li, I don't mean to divert misfortune to the east. If I just say that Tang Quan has ruined the retribution, the effect is not big enough. But if you add a gentleman, the meaning is different! Then Tang Quan is all in his hands." Because of Xie An and those troops, we are so strong."
"Now that Xie An has been arrested, another gentleman has given him retribution..."
"First of all, Tang Quan doesn't know who you are, Mr. Li, so he will only be afraid. Secondly, the people will have no other thoughts about you and will only be grateful..."
I raised my head, but a kind smile appeared on my face.
"Master Huo, that's not what I meant."
"Let those who spread the news add one more message."
Huo Kunmin was also stunned for a moment. His eyes became a little more joyful and he asked, "What's the message?"
"The gentleman from Jiuhe County is from the same lineage as Di Xiangkanyu. His teacher's name is Jiang Yihong." I said in a deep voice, word by word.
Huo Kunmin took a deep breath and nodded cautiously.
The second uncle narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "The words Yin and Yang are very good. You learned from Mr. Jiang, but you have never carried forward this name."
"This move can eliminate the hidden danger in Jiuhe County, and the reputation of this local Xiangkanyu successor will definitely be spread among the people in Jiuhe County."
"Okay, very good." Huo Kunmin nodded again and said he would do it later.
Then, Huo Kunmin looked at his second uncle and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, don't be anxious. When Tang Quan becomes seriously ill and there are other retributions, I will order someone to secretly hide Miss Shuangqin." The second uncle took a sip of wine and nodded.
Finally, Huo Kunmin asked me tentatively, would this Feng Shui cause death? Will Tang Quan die directly?
I was silent for a moment and then said: "The eaves will not kill anyone, but Tang Quan will become more and more unlucky, and he will be punished."
Huo Kunmin hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and wiped his neck.
Before I could say anything, Paperman Xu just shook his head and said no.
Then, he motioned to Huo Kunmin not to ask any more questions. When Tang Quan became seriously ill, he would spread rumors and let him come out to punish him.
Huo Kunmin didn't say much else.
At this time, another person hurriedly walked in at the door of the yard and front bunk.
This man is somewhat familiar to me, but I can't remember his name. He is Huo Kunmin's confidant, and he even drove a carriage for us.
The man was carrying two full bamboo drawers and a wine bottle hanging on his waist.
Huo Kunmin's expression became much more relaxed, and he smiled and said to eat first.
I was indeed hungry, so I turned around and knocked on He Zhi's door to wake her up.
During the meal, Huo Kunmin basically said something to me, that is, I should not go out again recently and be more mysterious, so as not to let Tang Quan attack me.
I nodded in understanding.
Similarly, I thought about it for a while and asked Huo Kunmin to help me find out some news.
Twenty-two or three years ago, in a section of the upper reaches of the Xuanhe River in Jiuhe County, pregnant women were placed on bamboo rafts as sacrifices to the river god Dian Nu.
Huo Kunmin's expression turned serious. He immediately nodded and whispered, "Mr. Li, do you want to know who did this? Or the pregnant woman's family?"
I closed my eyes in silence and whispered: "We may not be able to find out, but Mr. Huo, please help me find out as much as possible. Whether it is the pregnant woman's family or the person who led this matter, I want to know. .”
