This morning.
As soon as the gate of the county town opened, Village Chief Jiang took two villagers to the county government office to report to the official.
After hearing the purpose of Village Chief Jiang's visit, the guard at the gate hurriedly went to report to the county magistrate who was having breakfast.
"What...Zhifu Tian's son was covered by a temple from the sky in Jiangjia Village, Yinma Town?"
The county magistrate Chen Changsheng who was eating was startled.
Tian Zongren, the prefect of Liping, was ruthless. If his son really died in Jinping County, he, a small county magistrate, would never have a good life in the future.
"Go to the church immediately!"
Chen Changsheng threw down his bowls and chopsticks and quickly put on his blue official robe and black gauze hat, "Quickly ask the fifth master to come to the Yamen. A big deal is about to happen."
Magistrate Chen’s master’s compound surname was “Fifth” and his single name was “Ming”.
When read together, it is called "fifth place".
After being summoned, this master, who was thin, had a gaunt face and had no beard, immediately appeared in the lobby of the county government office as quickly as possible.
After asking about the cause and effect, Magistrate Chen suddenly slapped the gavel in his hand.
"Since this happened the day before yesterday, why did you come to report it now?"
Village Chief Jiang had a look of injustice on his face: "Back to my lord, the eighty-mile road from Jiangjia Village to the county seat is very bumpy. And some of the people traveling with us have limited legs and feet. I have done my best to come to the county government office this morning to report to the official."
The fifth person glanced at the two people standing outside the lobby, only to see one lame and the other blind, and asked warily:
"Since you know the road is rugged, why did you bring a lame man and a one-eyed man with you? Could it be that you deliberately delayed the time and wanted to kill Mr. Tian?"
Village Chief Jiang hurriedly defended: "The villain is wronged. Although this lame man has limited legs and feet, he is the best hunter in our place."
"There are big bugs on the road from Yinma Town to the county seat. We traveled all night. Only he can protect us. If you don't believe me, you will know after a try."
Chen Changsheng clapped his hands and shouted: "You cripple dares to boast that you are an Orion. What are your abilities?"
Lu Buping clasped his fists and said, "So that adults can know."
I saw him bending his bow and lining up an arrow, pulling it like a full moon, aiming at the lobby.
"What are you going to do?"
The three squads of government officials were so frightened that they all shouted and raised the water and fire sticks in their hands.
Magistrate Chen was so frightened that he hid under the table: "There is an assassin!"
Soon enough, the sharp arrow flew into the hall with the sound of whistling wind.
With a sound of "duh", it was nailed to the center of the plaque that said "The mirror hangs high".
The fifth man was furious and waved his hand: "Take down this assassin!"
Village Chief Jiang and Jiang Yimu were shocked. They didn't know what to do if the road was uneven.
Lu Buping calmly clasped his fists and said, "Sir, there was a wasp flying in the hall. The common people were afraid of stinging you, so they killed it with an arrow. If you don't believe it, ask someone to pull out the arrow and you will know."
Immediately, a yamen servant climbed up on the ladder, pulled out the arrow shaft, and found half of the wasp's body.
County Magistrate Chen lost his temper and had no choice but to retreat and return to the backyard for discussion.
"Master, what should we do?"
County Magistrate Chen walked around the back office, "Let's rush to Jiangjiacun now. It will be evening at the soonest. I'm afraid it will be cold in Tiangui."
The fifth man pondered: "If it is true as the old man said, such a huge temple was brought down from heaven, it must be God's punishment, beyond what human beings can do. Magistrate Tian can't blame us."
"While the master is sending people to rescue, he can also send fast horses to the government office overnight to report to Tian Zhifu and ask him to send reinforcements. At the same time, he can send people to Guiyang to report to the envoy."
Chen Changsheng immediately selected two smart government officials and ordered them to ride fast horses and rush to Guiyang and Liping respectively to report to their superiors.
After the messenger left, the fifth ordered three groups of government officials to rush to Jiangjia Village surrounding Magistrate Chen's carriage.
In order for Village Chief Jiang to lead the way, the fifth man prepared another carriage for them.
A group of sixty or seventy people left the county in a mighty manner and rushed to Jiangjia Village, which was eighty miles away.
——————
Jiangjiacun.
Zhu Renxia was ridiculed by the god, and he embarrassedly led Jiang Axiu down the ladder from the house.
"Ms. sir, have I gone to bed?"
Jiang Axiu said timidly, her pretty face blushing a little.
What if my husband-in-law suddenly changes his mind and proposes to sleep in the same bed with me, will he agree or not?
"Go ahead, Xiaoyu and I will sleep in the same room."
Zhu Renxia showed a silly smile and got into the east wing.
Jiang Dali's thatched house has a total of four rooms, with two main rooms in the middle. Jiang Axiu sleeps in the west wing, while Jiang Dali and his son huddle on a kang in the east wing.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu had fallen asleep soundly, lying on the bed with his back stretched out.
Zhu Renxia quietly took off his shoes and went to bed, moved Jiang Xiaoyu's legs and arms, and slept next to him.
Zhu Changan witnessed the romantic scene on the roof and felt a little itchy. This reminded him of Cheng Yinuo.
"I wonder when I can have a romantic date on the rooftop with Cheng Yinuo?"
Feeling that his body was a little angry, Zhu Changan lowered the temperature of the faucet and let the cold water wash over his body to relieve the messy thoughts.
"Zhu Renxia is a decent guy, but he is too upright. He still doesn't understand that women don't love men unless they are bad!"
At the same time, a voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Renxia's mind.
[Zhu Renxia is a decent guy, but he is too upright. He still doesn’t understand that women don’t love men unless they are bad! 】
"Who is speaking?"
Zhu Renxia was startled and sat up.
The cold moonlight shone into the courtyard, which was quiet except for the constant chirping of cicadas on the trees.
Zhu Renxia used the moonlight to look at his brother-in-law beside him, and saw Jiang Xiaoyu snoring evenly. It was obvious that what he just said was not his.
"This voice seems familiar?"
Zhu Renxia's ears suddenly felt hot, and he suddenly remembered the scene where he and Axiu were whispering on the roof just now and were discovered by Tianzun, "Did Tianzun say that?"
"Yes, it is the voice of Tianzun!"
"But what does Tianzun mean by this? Isn't it bad to be a gentleman? Isn't it bad to be upright?"
"Why does Tianzun say that women don't love men unless they are bad? What kind of woman would fall in love with a bad man? Tianzun doesn't want me to be a bad person, right?"
Zhu Renxia was puzzled and even a little distressed.
After thinking about it, I couldn't sleep, and suddenly I thought of something, and I got up on the kang in fear.
"No, what I said just now was obviously Tianzun talking to himself. Why can I hear it?"
Zhu Renxia was a little confused. He could actually hear the voice of the gods. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
What if I overhear some of Tianzun’s private matters, will it make him furious?
Fortunately, this inexplicable sound stopped after just one sentence, and Zhu Renxia slept peacefully.
Just when he was in a daze, he suddenly saw torches outside the village. He knew that it was Village Chief Jiang who had returned with people from the county government.
Zhu Renxia hurriedly put on clothes and got up, telling Jiang Axiu not to go out at home. Then he lit up a lantern and summoned Jiang Erhu and a dozen strong men in the village, and went to the village entrance with wooden sticks and iron forks to check.
