Jiao Zheng left with the white beauty.
When leaving, the white beauty took three steps and turned back. Although Jiao Zheng had given her the hope of staying with her lover forever, when it came time to say goodbye, it was still so hard to leave.
The figures of the two people slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Shu Guan knew that they had walked into the gap between the Yin and Yang worlds again.
Shu Guan was also a little regretful, because he had not had time to ask Jiao Zheng many questions.
And the moment Jiao Zheng and the beauty in white disappeared, a ray of sunshine rose from the river.
The ghosts don't like sunlight, so perhaps they are the ones who know best when the sun rises.
Qin Songling looked back at the rising sun with a sense of loss, but in his heart he thought how nice it would be if this sun would never rise again.
Then he turned back and watched Shu Guan open his mouth, as if he was about to ask something.
Shu Guan had already raised his hand and put a Talisman of Oblivion on his chest.
Shu Guan really didn't want to say anything more to deceive this infatuated old man.
It would be better for him to forget this matter and forget that the woman he had missed for more than fifty years reappeared in front of him yesterday.
As for whether he will be able to reunite with his lover after his death, just as City Emperor Jiao Zheng said, it depends on their own luck!
…
After sending the sleeping Qin Songling back to his manor on the outskirts of Yingcheng District, Shu Guan returned to Guishan.
However, he did not look back. Instead, he went directly to Taiyi Temple on the top of the mountain to find Taoist Chen and asked him to help the children in Taoyuan Village contact their schools.
The day before yesterday, Shuguan was planning to leave the temple to handle this matter, but was delayed because of the arrest of the chief security officer.
Then Shuguan went down the mountain to Taoyuan Village and visited the great treasurer.
The eldest daughter-in-law has never married and has no children. The person taking care of the eldest daughter-in-law here today is Wang Dahu’s wife. After all, Wang Dahu cannot ask for leave from the quarry every day.
"Yesterday, a Taoist priest An came to the Taiyi Temple on the mountain. He checked Da Bao's pulse and prescribed medicine. Da Bao fell asleep after taking one patch. He hasn't woken up yet, but he slept very well. She feels stable and her face is a lot rosier."
Dahu's wife, who had taken care of the great treasurer all night, said this to Shu Guan.
"Mazi, you have to go and thank Taoist An. How about I kill a chicken and stew it later, and you can deliver it to him."
"Sister-in-law Tiger, I will go and thank Dao Priest An. As for the chicken, I won't use it. Dao Priest An doesn't like eating it, but I can stew one to replenish my body."
Shu Guan said with a smile.
Dahu's wife naturally didn't know that Taoist An was not a Taoist priest from Taiyi Temple.
An Zichun, on the other hand, was the one he asked yesterday to come and look after the health of the great treasurer.
Now that the fifth senior brother has been here, there should be no more problems with the great treasurer, so Shu Guan left the great treasurer's home and walked towards the temporary school in the village.
He was going to find the teacher Li Kexin who was invited to teach the children in the village to read. One was to settle this month's salary with him, and the other was to say hello to Li Kexin first. The children would enter a formal school next month. Studying.
But when he was about to reach the temporary school in the village, Shu Guan found that the temporary school was quiet.
At this time, it was supposed to be the time for the children to go to class, but why was there no sound at all?
When I walked into the temporary school, I saw that there was really no child inside, and there was no figure of the female student from Jingcheng Normal University, Li Kexin. Only Zhang Yadan was sitting alone in the classroom, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking. .
"Girl, why are you alone? Where are the others? Where is Teacher Li? Did she ask for leave?"
Shu Guan walked into the classroom and asked.
After seeing Shu Guan, Zhang Yadan immediately shed tears, got up and walked towards him crying.
"What happened?"
"Teacher Li didn't ask for leave, she died!"
Zhang Yadan threw herself into Shu Guan's arms and cried even more sadly.
"What!"
Shu Guan suddenly changed color.
…
Soon after, Zhang Yadan explained clearly what happened while crying in Shuguan's arms.
Li Kexin, a pure and lovely female student from Jingcheng Normal University with an apple-shaped face, was killed yesterday evening, and the news came from her classmates at night.
At that time, Shu Guan was fighting with the female ghost in Qin Songling's manor, and then went directly to the Chenghuang Temple. He didn't finish dealing with the female ghost until this morning, so he didn't know that a big event happened in Jingcheng yesterday evening. .
In the past few days, the marches and protests in Jingcheng have continued and become more and more powerful. More and more people are joining the marches and protests, and they are no longer limited to students.
Yesterday evening, a parade of hundreds of people came outside the Yinjili State Concession in Jiangkou. The parade was mainly students, but there were also some other citizens such as workers and traders.
Li Kexin is also in this team.
Although the demonstrations in the past few days were huge and vigorous, the government has always been relatively restrained, and neither the army nor the police were actually dispatched to suppress them.
It is said that the warlord Xu Pingxi spoke at the beginning:
"A group of student dolls can make whatever noise they want, just let them have their troubles, ignore them, let them vent, and everything will be fine after a while."
Only yesterday evening, the situation suddenly escalated.
At that time, the marching team wanted to enter the concession and demonstrated outside the Yinjili Consulate. Then they clashed with the concession patrol.
No one knows how the initial conflict broke out, but in the end it was the patrolmen in the Yinjili Concession who opened fire.
You must know that the patrols in the Yinjili Concession are not under the control of Dahua, and basically they are not Dahua, but Incas.
The Inca Country was a country at the junction of the Eastern and Western Continents. It was also the first country in the Eastern Continent to be conquered by Yingili. The people in that country had long been domesticated by Yingili, and it could be said to be Yingili's slave country.
The conflict last night ultimately resulted in the death of more than a dozen people in the parade.
Li Kexin was one of more than a dozen people who died.
Of course, not all of these things were told to Shu Guan by Zhang Yadan. Zhang Yadan only knew that Li Kexin was beaten to death, but did not know what happened.
Some more specific things were found out after Shu Guan comforted Zhang Yadan and returned to Shanji Guan and read the newspaper.
This time, Jingcheng's press reacted extremely quickly. What happened yesterday evening, and the front pages of all newspapers this morning were all about this tragedy, and all of them were written in blood-red fonts.
Even the "Qiu Begonia Newspaper", which has always reported only romantic affairs, is no exception.
After reading the report in the newspaper, Shu Guan was silent for a long time.
I feel a little heavy and very regretful.
He and Li Kexin were not very familiar with each other, and they rarely had the chance to meet each other. Even if they did meet on the road, they would just chat a few words casually. Shu Guan would always ask the children in the village about their studies, and the round-faced girl was always very serious and responsible. Sometimes, Shu Guan would stop to introduce him, but sometimes Shu Guan would get a little confused and find excuses to stay away first.
So apart from his name, Shu Guan knew little about Li Kexin.
But it is still extremely regrettable that such a young, enthusiastic and responsible girl died so suddenly at the beginning of her life.
…
The next day, the tragedy in front of the concession triggered even greater riots.
Originally, the demonstrations in Jingcheng were just to support the Shencheng side, but now they have become their own business. So the next day, large-scale demonstrations broke out throughout Jingcheng, and schools, factories, and shops also went on strike. Strike and strike.
Even those who practice outside the world in Shan Ji Kuan can feel the tense atmosphere below the mountain where the rain is about to come, and can feel the huge anger that is beginning to accumulate among mortals.
And more detailed reports on the tragic incident have also come out one after another.
For example, the patrol captain of the Yinjili Concession who ordered the shooting that day was originally a retired soldier of the Yinjili Army named Jorge. Now the patrol captain of the Yinjili Country is hiding in the consulate.
In addition, according to inaccurate information published in the "Qiu Haitang Newspaper", half an hour after the tragedy, Xu Pingxi, the governor of Chuxiang, rushed to the Yinjili Consulate and demanded that Consul Yinjili immediately hand over the order to open the war. The patrol captain of the gun was unfortunately rejected by Consul Yinjili.
It is said that there was a violent physical conflict between the warlord Xu Pingxi and the consul Yinjili.
Of course, no one really knows except those who were present at the time whether the two big shots were really like ordinary people who would fight with their fists whenever they disagreed.
But now the tense atmosphere in Jingcheng is no longer limited to the civilians. The army stationed at Jiangkou has been dispatched. A regiment of soldiers drove directly outside the Yinjili Concession and guarded all the exits of the concession to prevent any entry in the concession. People leave.
There is only one person in the entire Jingcheng who can order the dispatch of troops, naturally Xu Pingxi, the governor of Chuxiang. As for the Chuzhou Provincial Government of the Republic of China, it has no power to command the Chuzhou army at all.
】
I have to say that what Xu Pingxi did was quite relieving. Looking at the whole of China, the warlords who dare to send troops to surround the concession can only be counted on the fingers of one palm. Even the central government of the Republic of China does not. Such courage.
Just sending troops to surround the concession may be the limit of what Xu Pingxi can do. As for directly sending troops into the concession to arrest people, it is impossible. After all, it is equivalent to declaring war with the Injili Empire.
On the river, the two Yinjili Empire destroyer-class warships parked on the pier have been fired up. All the cannons on the ships have removed their coats, and the muzzles of all the cannons are aimed at Jing. city.
On land, the Chuzhou army could still put some pressure on Yinjili's consulate, but on the river, facing Yinjili's warships, the Chuzhou army was powerless.
They don't even have a warship!
