Chapter 33: Death (I)
Plum rain season.
Plum rain, also known as Huangmeitian, is the ripening period of plum rain in Jiangnan, so Chinese people call this climatic phenomenon "Plum rain".
In the swaying rain, it splashes little by little, and the rain is dense.
There are no lights at night in Futian Village. For small households, oil lamps are also valuable expenses. In a very large household, dim lights and wind and rain can be seen faintly.
At this time, the Tian family was still having dinner, and the copper oil lamp emitted a soft light. On a table, there were four people, Chairman Tian Jiju, Mrs. Tian, ​​Zhou Zhu, and a six-year-old child, but Tian Ji's son Tian Zongrun.
The dishes are not exquisite, four dishes and one soup, original and very delicious.
The Tian family is very particular about etiquette. Even the six-year-old Tian Zongrun sits upright, chews slowly, tries and does not make any sounds, and listens quietly.
"Entertainment father, I'm thinking, are your movements a little bigger? Didn't the real person tell Wang Shoutian to have three years of fortune? This is just a great fortune!" Zhou Zhu said.
There was a drizzling sound outside the building. Tian Ji put down his chopsticks, looked at his son and adopted son with a smile, and said, "I also know that you are confused. You are still young after all, and even though you are wise, you are not yet harmonious."
Tian Zongrun was very well-behaved, staring at his father with big eyes and listening quietly. Tian Ji touched his son's head lovingly. Seeing that he had finished eating, he put him on his thighs to make him sit more comfortable.
He said to Zhou Zhu: "When Wang Shoutian was studying here, he was just ordinary, and it seemed normal, but he was just lucky. You see, when he first took charge of the troops, he could turn defeat into victory and kill Chen Xiang when he was defeated, which was really scary."
Zhou Zhu thought intently, but he was not a reckless person. He said, "Enjoyed Father, this is nothing. Even if ordinary people are in great fortune, they can do things that they cannot do normally. But the sky is rising, let alone the world is in the revolution and the destiny of heaven changes. A large number of talents will sweep the world and drive the king."
"In this world, Dai Wang, Shi Longjie, Lai Yi, Du Gongzhen, and Wang Zunzhi, the general of this town, are not unique, or are either amazing, or are profound, or are strong and decisive? Which one is not a big deal? It is not outstanding to kill Chen Xiang!" Zhou Zhu expressed his opinion.
"Zhu'er said very much. If this is the only thing, there will be more people in the world and only a moment of luck. But what Wang Shoutian did in Jishui County during this period made me frightened!"
"Opening land, establishing civil residence, offering sacrifices to the dragon god, killing bandits, and pacifying the county seat are all fundamental things. Although this matter is small, think about who did these things in ancient times?"
Seeing Zhou Zhu's face change slightly, Tian Ji reminded him again: "Fortune comes and goes, it depends on the heaven and earth. Just like I broke a flower and put it in a vase. Although this flower is brilliant and bloomed for several days, it is ultimately a tree without roots and a water without source."
"I am not surprised when Wang Shoutian killed Chen Xiang, I am not surprised when he became an heir, and I am not surprised even if he married Miss Song. These are all trees without roots and water without source. Once they are transported, they are only for people's wedding dresses. When they are transported, they will bloom brilliantly, and when they are transported, the petals and leaves will wither. Why? They are just rootless ears!"
"But what this son did in the county scared me, and even tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night. If the flower branches were inserted into the wetland, what would you think there would be the consequences?"
"Hiss, is it growing?" Although these few words were soft, they thundered Zhou Zhu's ears like flat ground, which made him look at the problem from a new height.
"Yes, if there is no root, the flowers bloom like luck, and if the luck goes away, they will wither and have nothing to fear. If they grow roots for him, their luck will be hidden. Even if the flowers fall for a while, they will still bloom next year. This is different from the instructions of the real person. At that time, the rootless one will be a hidden dragon, and it will be difficult to seize the foundation!"
"Hiss, why don't you talk to the master?"
Tian Ji shook his head and sighed, "I am not good at the art of looking at the qi. Besides, this art of looking at the qi is not as simple as this. Only real people can truly understand it. I have only been studying here for more than ten years and have some experience. According to the principles in the previous books, I can see some clues, but it is difficult to convince the master."
"To say something very disrespectful, the master regards metaphysics as his sect, but he refuses to listen to this secular way. It is useless to say it, just keep it in your heart."
After hearing Tian Ji's words, Zhou Zhu felt more reasonable in his heart. Originally, he always felt that Tian Ji was too enthusiastic about fame and fortune, and was a little disdainful. Now that he thought about it, he really read some true meaning.
At this moment, the beautiful woman Tian said with a smile: "If you don't talk much, the food will be cold. Everyone should eat it!"
As soon as the two smiled, Tian Ji raised his chopsticks again.
At this moment, the road was quiet in Futian Village. Li Si shrank his neck and continued to move forward.
Li Si was a dilapidated village and had been doing some stealing things to make a living. Last time he got a porcelain bottle, he spent three taels of silver, ate and drank for ten days, and now he has eaten it all again.
I heard that the Wang family moved to Jishui County, and there were only a few temporary servants left in the family, so I secretly got up tonight, thinking that there were three kilograms of nails on the broken ship. The Wang family has always been a local landlord, and there are always some remaining property.
Li Si flipped over several Minjia houses and arrived at the door of the Wang family. He thought about going in. Suddenly, a cold light flashed behind him, and a man lowered his voice and said, "Sir, there are people here!"
Li Si didn't think about it and turned around and was about to escape. He didn't report to the officials in the village. He would be beaten to death if he caught him, and even some of them would be fine if he was beaten to death. The village chief would not care about it.
Li Si suffered several times and did not want to be beaten, so he had to escape. As soon as he raised his foot, his hands and feet were dull, his whole body trembled, and he did not dare to move.
I saw two people standing in front of me, wearing helmets, leather armor, long swords, and bright tiger eyes, and fiercely scanning themselves. This awesome murderous aura made Li Si unable to move.
With their report, a young man stepped forward. He was not wearing official uniforms, but he was wearing a mysterious suit, long and handsome face, and was like frosty. He was Li Xian who was carrying out the order.
Li Xian was in a bad mood. For him, who was familiar with politics, he certainly knew the commander's intention.
Tian Ji is Wang Shoutian Banshi, and his identity is very special in terms of etiquette and law.
Master and apprentice have a reputation and obligations. If it were not for the great goal, Tian Ji should not have done so. Wang Zunzhi was old and had already keenly smelled some breath.
The relationship between Tian Ji and the Li family cannot be concealed by the commander-in-chief. It is just that this is a common thing to be ready to move in troubled times.
The Li family has always been respectful and civil servants, and does not hold military power. In addition, this time, he has clearly shown his attitude to the general to support the young master. Although the general is a little confused, he does not think that the Li family has bad intentions. Perhaps it is just the people who want to get into the heat and make their own decisions.
But now at the critical moment of the handover of power, the general would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Tian Ji hit the gun. The general did not even judge the judge, and directly killed the whole family. The meaning was not only to hit the Li family, but also to hit some people in the entire vassal state!
This was the first time Li Xian was sent to do this dirty work in the family. Of course, he was very upset. At this time, Feng Shen was handsome and calm, and had long disappeared. He stared at Li Si and said something that made people feel cold: "Who are you? What are you doing here during the third update in the middle of the night?"
Li Si lived by cheating and was good at observing words and expressions. When he heard Li Xian's words, he knew that as long as his answer was wrong, he would immediately have a disaster.
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The villain is just a poor man in the village. He gets up in the middle of the night and just does something to touch the chickens and go back to get some food. Adults, villain dare not lie!"
As he said that, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Li Xian looked up and saw that this man was scathing and believed most of the time.
This stingy eyebrow is not the so-called heavenly life pattern.
The judicial judges in the military and the Gongcao of the county's Dharma Caosi, no matter how they look, they have a solemn and murderous aura all over their body, which is the majesty of the law that is naturally carried by itself all year round.
Similarly, no matter how these thieves look, they usually think about stealing and shameful. If they continue for a long time, they will naturally feel like they are "severe-eyed and mouse-eyed" at a glance.
As for those who have been in the upper position for a long time, it is even more obvious. This is what Mencius said, "resides and moves the energy, nourishes and moves the body."
Originally, Li Xian didn't care about such a person, and this was not his jurisdiction. If he let it go, he would let it go. At this time, he was in a bad mood and was a secret action. He was unhappy and waved his hand.
The soldier behind him even made a career in killing. Seeing this, he did not hesitate. A sword flashed, and there was still a flattering smile on Li Si's face. Blood splattered, his head flew out and rolled to the ground.
At this time, the lights in Futian Village were faintly silenced, and Li Xian ordered: "Go forward and surround the Tian family!"
"As for the order!" The surrounding soldiers responded.
At this time, the Tian family had finished their meals, Tian Ji and Zhou Zhu went to the study, and Zhou Zhu was about to read the annotated "The Analects of Confucius" from beginning to end.
At this moment, Tian Ji's whole body was shocked. He suddenly opened the window, stood in front of the window, with his body straightened.
There was nothing unusual in the distance, only some dogs and dogs.
"What's wrong, adoptive father?" Zhou Zhu raised her head and saw Tian Ji's body trembling slightly.
"Hurry, go down quickly, don't light the lights or turn off the lights!" Tian Ji pulled Zhou Zhu and left, a ray of light leaked out from the crack of the door until it was below.
"Husband?" At this time, Tian was about to go to bed with his child in his arms.
"The village has killed someone. The Zhangliu God I worshipped has already called the alarm and is back. There is a disaster. Hurry up, Zhou Zhu, you take the child out and leave the Tian family."
Zhou Zhu was shocked and said, "Entertainment Father, then let's go together!"
"Let's go together, you can't leave, hurry up, you have a fortune, only you can leave. If you miss me a little friendship, take Run'er away and leave a line of cigarettes for my Tian family!"
