Chapter 111 Miraculous

title of nobility and prime minister... Zhou Wenda's eyebrows jumped when he heard it. It is undeniable that He Ze painted a huge pie for him, which was full of temptation and hard to refuse.

He studied hard for ten years and passed the high school at a young age. However, because of his humble background, no one behind him, and his straightforwardness, he was deeply excluded. From this remote place to that remote place, all the way to Qiongchuan, it suddenly seemed that more than ten years had passed. During this period, no matter how good his political achievements were, he could not wait for that transfer order. Was he really willing to be a small seventh-rank county magistrate for the rest of his life?

What's more, now he actually has no other choice. Once he loses power, Li Deming will definitely attack the Luo family to eliminate future troubles. If he takes a step back, he is afraid that he will be swallowed up without leaving any bones.

Zhou Wenda took a deep breath and was shaken in his heart, but, "Can I really believe you?"

Just because of a few words from this immature boy in front of him, he really wants to accompany him in this shocking gamble? If he wins, everyone will be happy, but if he loses, no, he really can't afford to lose.

"Do you know that once it is exposed, it will be a crime of deceiving the

emperor, and then..." "Sir Zhou, you are joking. If it is an auspicious sign, how can it be manipulated by others? The sudden appearance of such a magical thing has nothing to do with me or you. It must be because His Majesty's literary and martial virtues have moved God. Sir Zhou reported it according to the law, which is just his duty. How can it be deceiving the emperor?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is of great importance. I..." The way forward is cut off, and the way back is like walking on a tightrope on a cliff, which is extremely dangerous. Zhou Wenda is struggling between the two and can't make up his mind.

"At this point, Master Zhou has no choice but to trust me. Moreover, this case was caused by me. If Li Deming succeeds in his plot, he will certainly not let me and my family go. So my situation is the same as yours. Even if you don't trust me, you should believe that I don't want to die and won't joke with my life."

This is true. Zhou Wenda felt a little relieved.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. How about you let me out for one night, and wait until auspicious signs appear, and then you can make a decision. I'm sure that with your methods, no one will find out."

"You don't have to worry about me escaping, my parents, wife and children are all in town, the monk can run away but the temple cannot."

"This..." Zhou Wenda stopped his hesitating steps, closed his eyes deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes showed determination, "Well, you have said everything, and I will see what your methods are! But I'll say it in advance, if the matter is exposed..."

"Just push it off, and pretend you don't know anything at all."

"Okay!" Zhou Wenda clapped his hands, called Liu Yangji, and brought him a jailer's clothes, "Tomorrow morning at Mao time, I will arrange for Yangji to pick you up at the prison gate."

Finally, Zhou Wenda was dealt with. After half an hour of Hai, He Ze put on his clothes and successfully walked out of the cell.

In fact, it was not difficult for him to walk out of the cell. He could also do the auspicious things alone, but his ultimate goal was to exonerate himself. In this way, Zhou Wenda's participation was indispensable. Instead of making hasty plans at that time, it was better to prepare early.

The first step was to intercept Li Deming's letter!

According to Zhou Wenda's news, Li Deming's subordinates left the city at noon. If they rode fast, they would have been hundreds of miles away from the city now. This was also the reason why Zhou Wenda did not send people to chase them, because they could not catch up at all!

But that was relative to ordinary people, and He Ze had a cheat. The dark and windy night was the most suitable for Wood Release.

Wood Release is a kind of wood-related supernatural ability. He Ze survived many times during the end of the world. Wood Release, a magic weapon for escaping, played an indispensable role. It is said that a wood-related ninth-level supernatural person can travel thousands of miles in an instant, which He Ze naturally cannot do now. But chasing a horse is enough.

After asking about the general characteristics of the subordinate, He Ze flew all the way along the jungle beside the official road and finally found the person at the post station ninety miles away from the county town. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. He Ze specially found him a few pieces of enhanced version of Mi Luo leaves on the road. This is the main formula of the sleeping drug, which will make people fall asleep as soon as they smell it. This enhanced version is enough for him to sleep for three days and three nights.

To avoid any accidents, He Ze also took out Li Deming's letter from his arms. The content was just as he thought, nothing more than exaggeration and distortion of facts. Li Deming also spent a lot of time and effort for this acting county magistrate. Now

that this matter is settled, it's time to have dinner. Before that, He Ze went home first, hurriedly explained a few words, and then went to Xiangyang Mountain.

This is the place He Ze chose for "auspiciousness". Originally, he wanted to choose Xiushan, which is closest to the downtown area of ​​the county, but after thinking about it, once the auspiciousness occurred, it would immediately become a famous mountain resort in the surrounding area. If it can also seek some benefits for Hejia Village, it would be a good thing.

Xiangyang Mountain has five peaks, which embrace Hejia Village. Among them, the East Peak is the highest, and it can be seen from afar even in the county. He Ze did not hesitate and reached the top of the mountain in a few breaths.

His current supernatural power is barely the fourth level, and it has been consumed just now. It is really a difficult challenge to drain seven or eight out of ten of the vitality of this peak.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the momentum is huge, it won't affect the overall situation.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I will repay you double next spring."

He Ze found a hidden tree peak to hide in. Dots of green fluorescence rose from the flowers and trees around him, slowly sweeping across the entire East Peak. In just a moment, the mountain was like a huge green cocoon, and the light shot straight into the sky, which was very magical. It's

a pity that the green light is not golden light. He Ze still has some regrets, but it doesn't matter.

The houses in the county town are cramped. The first to see this strange scene were the villagers who got up at night nearby. They woke up their families one by one as if they had seen a miracle, and called their friends to go to Yangshan.

About half an hour later, the night watchman in the county town discovered this unusual situation. When the news reached Zhou Wenda's ears, he was in his study and couldn't fall asleep.

"It's so fast!" It was just after the hour of the Ox.

"Sir, there is a bright light on that mountain, and the people think it is a miracle. Now many people in the city are rushing to that mountain."

With such a big commotion... Zhou Wenda's heart was half relieved. It turned out that He Ze had this idea. If he didn't report such a big commotion, it would be called deceiving the emperor!

"Come on, change your clothes! In addition, call all the yamen runners and officials in the yamen, and follow me to see what's going on."

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd heading to Xiangyang Mountain was so crowded with carriages and horses. This was the first time that this path was so lively. It usually took an hour to take a bull cart, but Zhou Wenda and his subordinates took more than an hour on horseback. It was because they sent two constables to clear the way in front, otherwise they would not be able to squeeze through.

At this time, the foot of Xiangyang Mountain was already surrounded by people, because Hejia Village was at the foot of the mountain. Most of the people in Hejia Village were crowded in the front, and the brave ones had already entered the dense forest in groups of three or five.

The He family was originally staying in the town, but He Ze had gone home to inform Lin Yu, so they were almost the first group to arrive in the town. At this time, they were squeezed in the front. He An was eager to try, "Dad, do you think there are really gods? These lights...what's going on? Why don't we go in and take a look?"

He An didn't know that these things were made by his brother. He had been depressed because of family matters during this period, and now he was a little excited.

He Youcai didn't answer. He had lived for thirty-four years and had never seen such a thing. Could it be...there really be gods? Gods appeared next to their village?

Lin Yu stood aside and smiled without saying a word. He naturally knew what was going on. The green light at the foot of the mountain was sparse. Lin Yu took a few more steps forward until the green fluorescence enveloped his entire body. Li saw it and hurriedly pulled him back, "Brother Yu, come back quickly. Don't dare to go in. What if it's dirty? You are two people now, and your health is not as good as before."

"I know, Mom, don't worry, it's just that I feel that when these lights fall on my body, I seem to feel a lot more comfortable and energetic." Lin Yu held up a cluster of fluorescence and lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you try it too?"

During this period, He Ze was worried about his pregnancy. Therefore, every time he went back to the prison to deliver food, he often asked him to bring some flowers and plants. When he brought them, He Ze would use his supernatural powers to help him nourish his body, and the effect was indeed remarkable.

"Really?" Li was skeptical, and stretched out his hand carefully. A little fluorescence fell on his palm and disappeared.

This time, he couldn't feel anything. Lin Yu pulled him forward a few steps. He Laodi and He An saw this and followed him. There were many people in the crowd who didn't dare to go in but were curious about the green light. Like them, they surrounded the foot of the mountain. There were even students who had been drinking ink for several years and improvised poems to commemorate this rare magical scene that only happens once in a hundred years.

Zhou Wenda and the yamen runners finally squeezed in from the crowd. At this time, his head was also confused. If he didn't know that this was done by He Ze, he might have thought that a god had appeared!

No, even if he knew, he was still suspicious in his heart!

The scene before him was really different from the "auspicious signs" that had appeared in history, such as inscriptions on strange stones or rare animals, but they all had traces to follow. What about what was in front of him? What on earth was the green light in front of him? It was not hot to the touch, so it was obviously not related to fire. He had only heard of night-shining pearls, but how big of a night-shining pearl could illuminate a mountain? This was obviously impossible!

Or, was the junior whom he had seen a few hours ago really an immortal? Even if not, he was a master who had really attained the Tao! Zhou Wenda suddenly remembered the wild grass that He Ze had demonstrated to him in the cell, which grew instantly!

It was his fault, for thinking it was just a trick and not trusting masters!

At this moment, Zhou Wenda had full confidence and expectations in He Ze's "auspicious sign" plan.

"Go, call the city defense camp immediately. The rest of the people should pay attention to the crowd. No noise or fighting is allowed."

"Sir, do you want to have people surround the foot of the mountain? Otherwise, they will all run into the woods. I'm afraid that Xiangrui will be scared away." Liu Yangji suppressed the shock on his face and came back to his senses.

"Not for now. The yamen runners we brought are not enough. Let's wait for the city defense camp to come. Besides, if people who come here want to go in, you may not be able to stop them. It will arouse public anger."

Xiangyang Mountain is so big, and this is just a way down the mountain from the East Peak. What's the point of surrounding it? There are already thousands of people gathered here, and there are many other intersections. He called the city defense camp to come mainly to prevent unexpected situations, and secondly, to guard the intersections and wait for people who enter the forest to go down the mountain.

He had just carefully observed that the green light at the foot of the mountain was sparse, and most of it gathered towards the top of the mountain. The higher you go, the denser the green light is, and the light at the top of the mountain can compete with the bright moon. Whether this green light is good or bad, people who have entered the forest are more likely to find abnormalities.

However, thinking that this miracle was performed by He Ze, Zhou Wenda waved his hand and said, "Come on, Yang Ji, follow me in and take a look."

The author has something to say: The beginning of 2020 is not very good, but I still want to wish everyone good health, peace and happiness, wash your hands frequently, wear masks, and the virus will go away quickly!

☆ 115. Chapter 112: Offering Fruit

Chapter 112 Offering Fruits

Fluorescent dots were like stars, illuminating the forest. There was no need for torches, Zhou Wenda led a group of people through the forest.

"How far is it? How long will it take to reach the top of the mountain?" Zhou Wenda pushed aside the half-high thatch in front of him, looked at the light spots that kept sinking into his body, and his steps slowed down.

"Sir, the mountain road is rugged, it will take at least an hour."

He walked a few more steps, "Yang Ji, do you feel... a lot more relaxed?"

"Ah? What do you mean, sir?"

"Sir, I feel light too. I usually feel very sleepy at this time, but now I feel like I've taken some ginseng tonic, and I feel energetic." A yamen runner behind him said.

"Sir, sir!"

"What happened?" Zhou Wenda turned around, but found that the yamen runner who followed at the end was stunned in place, staring at the back of his hand, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Sir, my scar seems to be gone..."

The yamen runner who was speaking had a thumb-sized burn scar on the back of his hand when he played with fire when he was a child. The area was not large but very obvious. Fortunately, he was not a spoiled boy, so he never cared about it. But the scar that was there before he came was gone now?

"What!"

A group of people gathered around him. They had worked together for several years, and almost all the other yamen runners had seen the scar on his hand. Zhou Wenda walked up to him and saw that the back of his hand was intact, without any trace of scar.

"Miracle! It's really a miracle!" Zhou Wenda thought to himself, "Let's go to the top of the mountain immediately." Even if it was to bathe in a little more divine light. Yes, this green light had risen to the level of divine light in his eyes.

Not to mention his excitement at the moment, including the time he rushed here, this miracle lasted for nearly two hours, and the divine light as bright as stars gradually dissipated.

It was a pity that when there was no green light on the mountain, Zhou Wenda and his party had just reached the halfway point of the mountain.

"Sir, what is that?"

Zhou Wenda was reluctantly rushing back from the mountainside. After walking a few steps, he saw a branch hanging in the air, on which hung three red fruits emitting warm fluorescence.

"Quick, follow! Chase!" Zhou Wenda became excited.

Unexpectedly, the red fruit in the air seemed to understand human words, and flew in front of several people. The speed of the group increased, and its speed also increased. When they slowed down, it also slowed down, as if it was hanging them.

Seeing that they had reached the bottom of the mountain, because of the divine light, they did not feel tired after running for so long. Zhou Wenda ordered Liu Yangji beside him, "Quick, Yangji, run down the mountain quickly, and tell the people below to prepare long poles and bows and arrows. You must hit the divine fruit later... No, please come down!" Liu Yangji

also understood the importance of the red fruit, and ran down the mountain in a hurry. Because the green light dissipated, and the chief clerk and the registrar who arrived later dispersed the crowd, most of the people at the foot of the mountain had left. Only a few people who were reluctant to leave were left. However, because there were yamen runners and city guards, they only gathered in twos and threes, standing a little further away to watch, and occasionally worshipping the heaven and earth.

Half an incense stick later.

"Look, what is that!"

The branch was still hanging in the air, and the three red fruits were as red as blood, but covered with a bright light, which was not ordinary at first glance.

"The master has ordered that if you can bring down the divine fruit, you will be rewarded!"

Before the words fell, the yamen runners and guards around all took up their long poles, and some even used local materials to cut tree branches to bring down the "divine fruit". Those who were reluctant to leave also squeezed over, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

Lin Yu had been alerted and was standing far away at this time. He Lao, Li and He An protected him in the middle on the left and right. After all, she was pregnant and could not withstand any accidents.

"Brother Yu, aren't we going to leave yet?" Li looked at the noise in the distance and was worried, "What on earth is that?"

"Mom, it's okay, don't worry, we'll stand there for a while." He Ze had already discussed with him how to proceed, and now he just needed to wait.

After a period of chaos, the small branches with fruits were like naughty children, making everyone angry, but they just wouldn't fall.

A few long poles flashed by, and the small branches jumped up high, and now the long poles couldn't touch them.

"My lord, this..."

"Don't worry, guard it, three layers inside and three layers outside, it will eventually come down." If he didn't know that this miracle was all done by the little He family... No, it was done by Mr. He, he would naturally worry that the magic fruit would fly away, but Mr. He had informed him before, so although he was a little anxious at the moment, he was not panicked.

"My lord, it's not good, the magic fruit flew over there..."

Zhou Wenda just blinked and saw the magic fruit flying far away, and his heart almost stopped. "Quick, quick, catch up!"

However, in just a blink of an eye, the small branch had already fallen in front of Lin Yu. Seeing that Lin Yu ignored him, it gently bumped Lin Yu's forehead and stopped in front of him again. The people who were chasing him stopped in their tracks.

He An's eyes widened, and Old Man He and Li were also stunned. Lin Yu slowly stretched out his hand, and before Li could stop him, the branch that everyone had been chasing for a long time fell into his hand.

Zhou Wenda watched this scene from a distance, his eyes full of surprise and joy. He naturally knew Lin Yu's identity, and had a vague guess about He Ze's intentions.

After someone found a good long box and sealed the still fluorescent branch in the wooden box, Zhou Wenda felt relieved. He smiled at the four people of the He family and spoke in a very intimate way: "Your daughter-in-law is really blessed to be favored by the divine fruit."

Hearing that it was a good thing, He's father was no longer reserved and bowed to Zhou Wenda. He was worried and said, "I wonder if my son..."

Zhou Wenda knew what he wanted to ask. Holding the box in his arms, he gave him a reassurance, "Don't worry about your son's affairs. He, Mr. He will be able to turn danger into fortune."

Since then, the first half of this artificial "auspicious sign" ended successfully. In just two days, the county town had been buzzing with news, and even the inspection delegation far away in Hushan County had heard the news. It is said that the light of the sacred mountain is so bright that it can compete with the bright moon; it is said that the green light is all fairy spirit, and some people who bathed in the fairy spirit that night became younger, some of their long-standing diseases were cured, and even some boys became much more beautiful; it is also said that when the divine light dispersed, the flowers, plants and trees on the sacred mountain withered and died halfway, and used their own essence to form three divine fruits...

This is both divine and fairy, and the members of the inspection team just thought that some county magistrate was thinking of taking crooked paths at first, but the people who said it swore solemnly, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the miracle became more and more bizarre.

"Master Zhao, look at this..."

In the county city posthouse, a middle-aged man with two mustaches on his mouth half bent over, with a respectful attitude. The official sitting at the top was named Zhao, Zhao Qing, the first official of the inspection team, a third-rank official, the emperor's confidant, and a family with a lot of background.

"Just wait patiently. What's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true either. No matter what the intention of the person behind the scenes is, can he still avoid us?"

The man with two mustaches calmed down a little, "Your Excellency is wise."

Zhou Wenda arrived on the third day, riding a horse at full speed, exhausted. As a subordinate, it is impossible to send a small clerk to deliver such a big event.

When he opened the fine jade box he had specially found, the branches and leaves of the branch were as green as green, and the bright white light on the three red fruits had not changed at all as the night he appeared. If you smell it carefully, the air seems to be emitting a dense fruit fragrance.

"This, is this really a fairy fruit?"

Although everyone had been learning the Confucian doctrine of "a gentleman does not speak of strange things" for decades, they could not help but believe it when the "immortal fruit" was in front of them. Zhao Qing stared at the red fruit in the jade box with doubts in his eyes.

Zhou Wenda smiled bitterly and said, "Before this miracle happened, I didn't believe it either, but I watched it happen in front of my eyes. At least thousands of people witnessed the grand scene that night, and many people entered the mountain and were blessed by the divine light. You can send people to investigate."

"Yes." Zhao Qing nodded and carefully closed the jade box. In fact, when he saw the red fruit, he already believed it by about 70%. Not to mention how difficult it was to mobilize thousands of people to plan this big situation, even the glowing and fragrant fruit in front of him could not be fake.

"After I investigate, I will escort the 'immortal fruit' back to the capital as soon as possible and present it to the emperor. I would like to congratulate Lord Zhou first." If this red fruit is really a good thing, the days of rapid rise of this small county magistrate are probably still to come. The sedan chair was carried by everyone, so he didn't mind selling it in advance.

"No, it's also the blessing brought by the adults, otherwise how could the fairy fruit come out when the adults came." Zhou Wenda agreed with a smile. He is no longer the frivolous boy he was back then.

"Haha, no problem." Zhao Qing stroked his long beard twice and smiled. If the "fairy fruit" is really a fairy fruit, he will definitely get a share of the benefits, so he was happy.

But he changed his mind and thought that if the "fairy fruit" is really a fairy fruit, all diseases will be cured and youth will return... He touched the jade box reluctantly and barely suppressed the delusion in his heart.

"Sir, I have another matter..."

Zhou Wenda explained the whole story of the refugee who died of poison by mistake, only objectively, without any subjective arguments. After that, he said: "Sir, it is not that I am partial to others. There are many doubts in this case. Inspector Li forced me to avoid relatives and try the case, and wanted to close the case early. I was very worried. Moreover, the wife of the suspect in this case has something to do with this miracle."

"Oh? What does this mean?" Zhao Qing became serious.

"At the beginning, this magic fruit flew in the sky and did not fall. I ordered the guards to try every possible way, but they could not get the magic fruit down. In the end, the magic fruit flew straight to the direction of Lin, the daughter-in-law of the He family, and fell into his hands obediently. It was really mysterious. This guy must be blessed." Isn't it a blessing to have such a good husband? Zhou Wenda thought.

"Are you serious?"

"Absolutely. I think that Lin has also deserved a merit for requesting the divine fruit. Can the case be postponed for retrial? Then..."

"Then wait a little longer, postpone it for now." Zhao Qing paused, "If Li Deming has anything else to say, let him come to me directly." It was just a small matter. Not to mention that Li Deming's letter had not arrived yet, even if it did, a few more Li Demings would not be as important as Lin's request for the red fruit.

Zhou Wenda was delighted when his purpose was achieved, and bowed and said, "Yes, thank you, sir."

Chapter 113

After Zhou Wenda left, the members of the inspection team watched the "divine fruit" for a while, and then left one after another.

"Sir, are you really going to send it to the capital?" Two-pointed beard is Zhao Qing's confidant. At this time, he and Zhao Qing are the only two people left in the room.

"What? You dare to take the divine fruit from your majesty?"

"I dare not!" Two-pointed beard panicked and apologized quickly, "My humble servant's idea is that this divine fruit is of great importance, and it is something that goes into the stomach. If... if there is a chance..."

"Offering the divine fruit and reporting the miracle to the emperor is our duty as ministers. As for whether this divine fruit is really a divine fruit, it will be judged in front of the emperor. Besides, aren't there three here?"

One is for testing, and there are two left.

Seeing that Zhao Qing had made up his mind, the man with two mustaches bowed and said, "Then, sir, I will have people prepare fast horses and guards, and I will make sure that the divine fruit arrives in front of the emperor as soon as possible."

"Wait, I will personally deliver the divine fruit to the capital, and you will arrange all matters related to my early return to the capital. As for the subsequent itinerary of the inspection team, Deputy Inspector Zhang will be in charge."

"Sir..."

Zhao Qing interrupted him, "Don't persuade me anymore, you stay in the inspection team and watch over it carefully. If there is anything, send a message to me and accumulate more experience. You should know that our emperor is a person who attaches great importance to rules."

This was quite suggestive.

"Yes, sir, I will do it right away." The man with two mustaches was excited, three parts true and seven parts false.

After the two mustaches left, Zhao Qing opened the jade box again. The divine fruit was radiant and the rich fruity fragrance made people feel an urge to swallow it into their stomachs.

Zhao Qing was no exception, but he suddenly closed the box with a snap, "After all, it's not something we can enjoy, or..."

...

Zhou Wenda successfully brought back the news that the case was postponed for retrial, and with He Ze's consolation, the He family finally let go of half of their worries. Perhaps the two of them planned a matter of life and death together, and with Zhou Wenda's deliberate efforts, his relationship with He Ze became better and better, and he came to the cell to drink with He Ze in his spare time.

Now they are equals, calling each other "older brother" and "older brother". However, He Ze has no doubt that if there is anything wrong with the divine fruit, Zhou Wenda will probably bite him out without hesitation. But He Ze doesn't mind, after all, it's human nature.

That day, Lin Yu came to the cell to visit him again.

It has been nearly two months since He Ze was imprisoned, and Lin Yu's belly has become slightly protruding.

With Zhou Wenda's care, a straw soft bed was added to the cell, and the daily food was not bad. Lin Yu brought the pickled fish and plum cake made by Li.

"I've been craving sour food these days, and Mom has made too much. If you don't like it, I'll ask Mom to change the taste for you tomorrow." Maybe because she's pregnant, Lin Yu exudes tenderness at the moment.

He Ze hugged him from behind, buried his head in the crook of his neck, and gently stroked his belly with his hands, "I'm sorry, you've worked hard."

"No, the flower shop and carpentry shop at home are closed during this period. My family members take care of me and worry about you. I don't have to worry about anything else except you, so it's not hard." Lin Yu shook his head.

"Grandpa and grandma sent twenty taels of silver a few days ago. Now that you are in prison, they are afraid that the family will not be able to make ends meet. But there is still money at home, so Dad and Mom returned the silver. There are also many people on my cousin's side, but I think Dad has become closer to them." "

This is a good thing. Dad and Grandpa have a knot in their hearts, and neither of them is someone who can easily bow their heads. This is good."

"Many uncles, aunts and aunts in the village also sent things to our family. Mom didn't want to accept them at first, but Dad said that they were all kind words, and he remembered them, and it's not like he wouldn't give them back. Several elders wanted to write a joint letter to Lord Zhou to guarantee you, but Dad persuaded them to go back."

"They... forget it. When the baby in my belly comes out, we will pay for a free school in the village, which will be a token of our gratitude to them. I am not a good student, but maybe one of the He family's sons will become a general or a prime minister in the future, bringing honor to the family! Haha, maybe my son will be a top scholar." He Ze laughed heartily, squatted down, and leaned on Lin Yu's belly.

"You wish!" Lin Yu glanced at him, his eyes moving and his gaze flying.

He Ze took a deep breath and barely suppressed the bad feeling in his heart. It is not easy for an old man to abstain from sex for many years, and the beast out of the cage has not had time to have fun before he has to be put back in the cage.

"By the way, He Dalang and Liu San also wanted to come and see you. They were busy before, so I can't tell them some things. You should also give them some reassurance."

"Okay, bring them with you next time you come."

"Also, Luo Zhanming has been coming to our house recently. What do you think about his relationship with Xiao An?"

He Ze stood up and hugged him again. "What else can I think? Luo Zhanming has a good family background and is a handsome man. What's more important is that he is sincere and attentive to Xiao An." Moreover, although the Luo family was also involved in this case, before Li Deming's true intentions were exposed, he did not think of pushing the owner of the medicine shop and himself out to take the blame. It can be seen that although the Luo family is a merchant, they also have principles.

"My father and I have passed this test, and the only thing left is Brother An himself."

Lin Yu looked back at him and smiled, "I thought you would be reluctant to let him go."

He Ze touched the bridge of his nose, "This is also human nature, isn't it? But if I don't let him go, I'm afraid Xiao An will blame me in the future."

He Ze laughed as he said this.

"Am is in good health now, and Uncle Xu often asks me to say hello. I feel that the two of them will be together soon..." Lin Yu bit his lip and said.

"Isn't this a good thing? You used to worry that Am couldn't get over that hurdle, and that he would live alone in the future. Now the two of them are finally going to get married, aren't you happy? Uncle Xu has been waiting for more than ten years, and people only have a few decades in their lifetime."

"Yeah, you're right. I just have a little... mixed feelings."

"Don't think so much, Uncle Xu and Am are not a one-time thing. Your most important task now is to take care of yourself and wait for me to come home."

"Okay."

Lin Yu nodded obediently, and mentioned that the medicinal fields at home were growing well, so he didn't need to worry. He said that Wangfu and Wangji had been a little listless recently, and they might have missed him. They hadn't gone hunting for a long time, and Am bought a hunted rabbit from a villager that day, and Xiao An brought it back to raise...

Lin Yu said whatever he thought of. With He Ze's assurance, and his trust in He Ze, Lin Yu was truly relieved compared to He's father and the others who were still a little uneasy. He kept talking about these things in his arms, quietly and leisurely.

He Ze also listened quietly, responding to him from time to time and kissing him again.

Time is a disturbing thing. Unknowingly, it was the time when the golden crow fell to the west, and Lin Yu had to go back. Before leaving, He Ze took off the jade pendant on his neck and infused a lot of vitality into it.

After the "miracle", his supernatural power has reached level five.

"You wear it first, and Dad and Mom and the others will prepare it when I get home." Originally, he wanted to prepare a few more fruits for his family to eat, but then he thought that eating the fruits all at once might change his appearance, and it would be a bad thing to let someone with ulterior motives see it, so he had to give up the idea.

However, with him around, it would be a better choice to subtly influence and slowly nourish the bodies of his family.

Each of those three fruits contained about ten years of vitality of a person. It was inconvenient for something more beyond the control of heaven to appear, and it could not appear. As for the remaining vitality, it was all absorbed into his body for "storage", so it would be convenient to "transfer" it like this when needed.

"Be careful on the road."

After Lin Yu was sent away, the cell returned to silence.

...

On the other side, Li Deming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He knew about the "miracle" that appeared in Qiongchuan County, and he had also heard a little about the divine fruit. After all, there were many people and many gossips. Zhou Wenda knew that so many people saw it that night, and it was impossible to stop the gossip, so he simply did not send anyone to quell the rumors.

Li Deming was very regretful at the time, missing the "miracle" that was rare in a century. Later, he learned about the divine fruit from the inspector who was on good terms with him, and he felt bad.

Of course, he knew that once the divine fruit was confirmed, Zhou Wenda would have a way to the sky!

But now the divine fruit has been sent to the capital by the inspector-in-chief Zhao, and the case of the refugees and his nephew Wang Fucheng has been postponed by Zhao. Now, what should he do?

It's just the last step, just the last step!

Li Deming swept all the things on the desk to the ground, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He is a small person, what can he do? Lord Zhao's order cannot be changed because of him. Zhou Wenda, who offered the divine fruit and was waiting for a meteoric rise, is not comparable to him now.

What should he do now! If he stops at this moment... Yes, it is not too late to stop now! First cure his nephew, then he will only be a refugee and a slave, as long as no one pursues him! He will go to Zhou Wenda to be humble and humble, Zhou Wenda may not fight him to death, as for Wang Fucheng, it doesn't matter if he can't save him! After all, he is just a nephew!

His mind was racing, and when he thought of this, Li Deming calmed down a little. "Come on, prepare the carriage."

This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. He knew that if the divine fruit could not please the person above, Zhou Wenda would be dismissed from his post and punished, and in serious cases, his life would not be saved. But so what! If he didn't do it, he would be half dead; if he did it, both ways would be a way to live!

He couldn't afford to gamble, and he didn't dare to gamble.

Li Deming slightly straightened his clothes and walked out of the door.

"Sir, it's bad, the young master is gone..." The attendant shouted from a distance.

"What did you say?" Li Deming's expression froze.

"Sir, the young master, the young master didn't make it. He just died."

The attendant's words were like a heavy hammer, causing Li Deming to stagger.

Chapter 114 As a result,

because he had to maintain a critical condition, Wang Fucheng only removed half of the poison at the beginning, and he was hanging on to his life afterwards. He originally thought that he would not be in danger of death, but who would have thought...

"Madam has fainted from crying, sir, please go and take a look!" This attendant was brought by Li Deming, and he was considered his confidant. Naturally, he knew the inside story and was also panicked at this time.

"God wants to kill me..." A mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and Li Deming could only hear the attendant's screams in his blurred consciousness.

Wang Fucheng's serious illness was originally the most important driving force of this case. Now that he is dead, Zhou Wenda will definitely investigate the case during the retrial. How can he escape then? When

Li Deming woke up, it was already late. "Come here!"

"Sir?"

"Quick, help me go to the main hall first to see Fucheng's nephew..." After being unconscious for half a day, he had already made up his mind.

At this time, the palace was covered with white hair. The servants who walked around did not even dare to breathe. They walked through the palace with white lanterns in their hands, illuminating the entire palace. Wang Fucheng was the only son of the Wang family. He had been spoiled and willful since childhood. He was spoiled by his father and mother in the Wang family. Now that he was dead, the roots of the Wang family were cut off. This pain of cutting off the descendants... If they were not careful, they might be worried about their lives. "My

lord, we're here..."

Li Deming closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were red. He brushed away the support of his followers, staggered into the room, and cried, "My Fucheng, why are you... Uncle is sorry for you!"

Inside the house, Wang Mu supported Wang Fucheng's coffin and cried bitterly. Obviously, Wang Fucheng's body had been put into the coffin in half a day.

Wang's father was wearing mourning clothes, sitting on the ground and crying silently, "My son..."

When Li Deming came in, the couple turned around, their eyes were full of anger and hatred, but they didn't rush forward. Li Deming cried alone beside the coffin, and his sorrow was so sad that anyone who heard or saw it would cry.

After half an hour, he wiped his tears and said, "Brother, brother-in-law, I know that Fucheng's death is a big blow to you, and it's the same for me. I don't have a son, and Fucheng has been my son for these years. Fucheng is not good at studying. I was thinking that after a few years, when I become the magistrate of Qiongchuan County, I will find a position for Fucheng as a prefect. After one or two generations, the Wang family can also become a family of scholars..."

Li Deming choked up again.

Wang's father and mother were silent.

Li Deming added: "It's my fault... If I hadn't been old and confused, and hadn't been angry at Fucheng for a while, and agreed to let him be the bait, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this! It wouldn't have come to this! Now he's dead, the living are still alive and well, you and your wife are still young, God have mercy on you, maybe Fucheng can be reincarnated..."

Wang Mu's eyes were red: "Really?"

"Yes, definitely!" Li Deming wiped his tears, "As long as you take good care of your health, the roots of the Wang family will not be cut off. Now Fucheng is gone, but the case is not over yet. If Zhou Wenda is lucky, this case will most likely be unresolved. What I mean is, as long as there is a green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood. Don't involve Fucheng's death this time. If it gets out of hand, not to mention me, the Luo family is eyeing it covetously, and the Wang family's family business may be difficult to protect. What do you think?"

"Brother, do you mean that my son died in vain?" Wang's father's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes seemed to want to eat someone.

"Why do you have to say such things, brother-in-law? I am just forbearing for the time being. When Zhou Wenda is transferred, the Luo family will be a toothless tiger. And the boy from the He family will have no backing. You can use him to vent your anger on Fucheng anyway you want?"

"Brother! You only care about your official position! If you were not greedy, how could my Fucheng..."

"Enough!" Wang's father staggered to his feet and helped Wang Mu up. "We understand what you mean, brother. It's nothing more than weighing the pros and cons and weighing the importance. But Fucheng just passed away. I hope you can understand how my husband and I feel. I will give you a reply in a few days."

"I feel the pain of losing a son... Well, even if my brother misunderstands me, I still have to say that I am just a small official, and I am bullied everywhere in the capital. If it were not for my brother and Fucheng, who has long been regarded as his own son, I would have given up this useless official position a long time ago. Well! Your Wang family's business has been passed down for generations, and you should think carefully!"

After saying that, Li Deming left in a huff.

In the mourning hall, Wang's father supported Wang's mother and closed his eyes and cried.

...

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another half month had passed. These days, Zhou Wenda was restless, just like a young wife in the bridal chamber waiting for her husband to lift the veil.

When he returned home that day, the moon was already high above the treetops. Mrs. Zhou Luo was waiting for him in the house. When he approached, she could only smell the smell of alcohol. She covered her nose and asked, "Did you go to the prison to drink with that He family boy again?"

"I only drank a little, a little." Zhou Wenda smiled, "Isn't there any news yet? I'm very upset."

The couple had a good relationship. Zhou Wenda would not hide anything from Luo on weekdays, but this matter was of great importance. What he and He Ze said in the cell before the "miracle" must not be revealed to others, so Luo just thought he was worried about reporting the miracle.

"From the county city to the capital, it takes five or six days for a single person to ride a fast horse. Didn't you say that Lord Zhao was going back to the capital in person? The journey is exhausting. If he goes fast, Lord Zhao has only just arrived in the capital in the past two days. You should be patient and wait. I haven't seen you so impetuous on weekdays." Luo took out new clothes for him to change into, and said unhappily.

"You don't understand. How can things in the past be compared with this time? I'm so nervous, I feel like I'm back to the time when the imperial examination results were announced."

"You're so beautiful. You look ten years younger just thinking about it." Luo joked, and then sighed, "I just hope this matter will have a good result, otherwise..."

"It will." Zhou Wenda said firmly, and it was not known whether he was giving Luo confidence or confidence to himself. "I saw it with my own eyes that night, it can't be faked. Besides, I just did my part, you can't blame me no matter what."

Luo pinched Zhou Wenda, "You fooled me all the time. It would be great if things in the officialdom were so simple... But you too, since you have something on your mind, why don't you go to Yang Ji to discuss it, but drink with a young boy..."

"You don't know, that He family boy is really a wonderful person, with wonderful ideas, knowledgeable and strong memory, in some ways I can't compare to him... Besides, he is a man of real ability... Forget it, what do you, a woman, know!"

Zhou Wenda waited anxiously for ten days, and finally received a letter from the county city.

That morning, just after dawn, the door of the mansion was banged, and Zhou Wenda ran out without even having time to put on his shoes. Luo hurriedly put on his clothes and chased after him.

It was a letter from Zhang Xuncha from the county city, and Zhou Wenda tore it open carefully. He took a deep breath and pulled out the letter.

"Hello."

A capital letter "An" came into view. The heavy stone that had been weighing on Zhou Wenda for nearly a month finally disappeared. He was so happy that he wanted to laugh.

"Sir, my master asked you to go to the county town after reading the letter." The clerk who delivered the letter said.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and sort it out. Come on, prepare the carriage immediately!"

He Ze knew that this was a special letter from Luo Zhanming. He said, "I have received the news. Everything is going well. Brother He, congratulations, you will be out soon."

Three or four days later, Zhou Wenda returned from the county town. He Ze finally knew the details.

"I saw the message from Lord Zhao. The fruit is indeed a rare treasure. The emperor first let an old eunuch try half a fruit. In less than half a day, the eunuch's white hair turned black again and his wrinkles disappeared. Lord Zhang also volunteered to try half a fruit, and he praised the 'magic fruit' highly. As for the other two, the emperor took one and his serious illness was cured, and the empress dowager took the other and she immediately became young again. It became a miracle in the capital!"

"The emperor was very pleased. Not only did he ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate the time and place and transplant the broken branch of the magic fruit, he also asked me to write a memorial immediately to describe the whole process of the miracle in detail. Brother He, we succeeded!!!"

"It's not our credit. It's all because of the emperor's wisdom and virtue that moved God. But Lord Zhou, congratulations... haha..."

Unlike Zhou Wenda, who was full of joy, He Ze's face was a little pale at this time. He spat out blood before he finished his sentence.

"Brother He, brother He, what's going on? You?"

"The birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings are the cycle of nature. Since it is against the will of heaven, there must be a price to pay. Although I have some skills, it is inevitable. I am afraid that my foundation will be damaged this time, and my life will be shortened by at least ten years." He Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

"This... No wonder I see you look so pale, it's all my fault, I've been urging you to drink these days..." Zhou Wenda said with guilt, helping He Ze sit down on the straw couch, "You don't say anything, brother He, you should take good care of yourself, now the situation is settled, you will be able to go out soon, and then you will have a lovely wife and children, won't you be happy?"

"Your Excellency is right..."

Zhou Wenda waved his hand, "I've said it several times, and you're still calling me Excellency, but forget it, I don't think you can change. So, you take a good rest, I'll ask Yang Ji to get a doctor for you, even if you have some special skills, you can't neglect your body!"

After sending Zhou Wenda away, He Ze also sent away the doctor who came to treat him.

In fact, it was not a real backlash of magic, but He Ze injured himself with his special power. The doctor couldn't see any problem with the symptoms, and it was just a minor injury.

He Ze didn't dare to test human nature, but since things had come to this point, he could only make up for it. I just hope Zhou Wenda won't do stupid things in the future.

Another half month passed, during which time Zhou Wenda's memorial was delivered to the capital, and the memorial from the capital was also brought to Qiongchuan by Zhao Qing.

☆ 118. Chapter 115 Reward

Chapter 115 Rewards

On this day, He Ze was in the cell, enduring Lin Yu's self-love whip.

"Didn't you say a month at most? It's been a few days! Still no news... You only know how to coax me. I haven't eaten well or slept well these days. It's all your fault!" Lin Yu's belly was already five months big. He stood aside with his hands on his hips. He seemed to be really angry. He even kicked his feet when he was anxious.

"Yes, it's all my fault. I didn't calculate the time well... Brother Yu, A Yu, Yu, can you sit down first?" He Ze was trembling and humble, not daring to talk back, just hoping that Lin Yu could feel better.

Maybe the stone in his heart was gone, and coupled with the repression in the past few months, Lin Yu had a tendency to explode this month, and his temper became worse.

But a pregnant man must keep a good mood. He Ze was too worried to dare to say anything. He carefully helped Lin Yu to sit on the straw couch and poured him a cup of warm water, which was in the lunch box that Lin Yu brought.

"Drink some water, relax. It's only been a few days. I didn't coax you. I was just delayed by the journey." Putting down the water cup, He Ze lifted Lin Yu's legs and put them on his knees, kneading them with standard gestures. "Didn't you also hear from Zhan Ming that the letter has arrived, and the others will be here soon. I'm sorry for putting up with you these past few months. Mom said you haven't eaten well recently."

"No, Mom cooked too much, and I couldn't eat..." Lin Yu lowered his eyes, not daring to look He Ze in the face. In fact, what he said was only three-quarters false. Although he often couldn't control his temper recently, he didn't dare to neglect anything related to the kid in his belly. It's just that he was really tired of drinking that soup these days...

He Ze rarely saw Lin Yu so guilty and embarrassed, but he had to say, he was so cute.

"Then tell Am to do less. Isn't there Uncle Xu? Am listens to Uncle Xu the most. Just eat in moderation. A good mood is more effective than anything else."

"Okay."

Lin Yu nodded obediently. His temper came and went quickly. He Ze let him vent for a few words, and he was fine in an instant. "He Ze, we haven't gone hunting for a long time~"

Lin Yu looked at He Ze carefully massaging him and suddenly thought.

"When the baby is born, we will go together. Then we can teach this little one to hunt." He Ze responded.

"Yeah." Lin Yu supported himself on the straw couch with his hands, moving his buttocks one by one until he put his hands around He Ze's waist and rubbed it again and again in his arms.

At this moment, the irritability in his heart was gone, leaving only a feeling of satisfaction and dependence.

He liked the man he was holding so much, and luckily, this man was now his husband and the father of his child. This feeling was really great.

Now think about it, I didn't want to marry him before, how could he be so stupid at that time! Lin Yu clenched his fist and hit He Ze's shoulder twice. Fortunately, he has developed the habit of controlling his strength, so it's more like acting like a spoiled child.

He Ze raised his wrist and kissed his fist twice without any courtesy.

The cell was full of warmth and affection. He An and Luo Zhanming, who were watching the loving scene of a couple in the corridor outside, left quietly.

"Sure enough, only my brother can control Brother Lin. At home, Brother Lin will restrain himself from losing his temper, but if he doesn't vent, he will definitely feel depressed. When he feels depressed, his appetite will naturally be poor. It's still my mother who is great. Let Brother Lin come to see my brother and everything will be fine."

"You are so young, and you will worry about your brother and sister-in-law."

"How can I be young? I'm not young anymore!" He An glared at Luo Zhanming.

"Oh? Not young anymore? Then when will you marry me?"

Luo Zhanming approached He An suddenly, scaring He An to retreat straight back. Seeing that he was close to the door of the cell, Luo Zhanming took the initiative to distance himself.

He An was like a startled rabbit, and he jumped out like a gust of wind.

"Really? Is it that scary?" Luo Zhanming muttered a few words and chased after him.

That afternoon, the imperial edict of reward from the capital arrived at the county city, and Zhao Qing led the inspection team to bring it together - because of this incident, the inspection team deliberately changed its route. There are

three points in the edict of reward. First, Qiongchuan County is called a blessed land, and the county is exempted from taxes for three years. The eastern peak of Xiangyang Mountain is named Liuxian Peak, which means that there must be immortals staying in the famous mountain and blessed land, otherwise how can there be the fortune of the miracle and divine fruit. Second, Qiongchuan County Magistrate Zhou Wenda rewarded 100 taels of gold, and there were also many praises for being honest and upright, and having a clean government. The third is Lin Yu, who was specifically mentioned in Zhou Wenda's memorial as "the divine fruit took the initiative to throw itself into his arms", calling him a blessed person, rewarding him with 100 taels of gold and a house.

"Master Zhou, congratulations, I wish Master Zhou all the hard work and happiness from now on, and a smooth career." Zhao Qing smiled and congratulated Zhou Wenda after reading the imperial edict.

He now looked four or five years younger than a month ago. His gray hair had turned black again, and his face looked rosy and much healthier.

Zhou Wenda was amazed. Although there had been news that the magical fruit was miraculous and had extraordinary effects, seeing was believing. No wonder the man on the throne gave such a generous reward.

"Congratulations, Lord Zhao, thank you for honoring me." Zhou Wenda hurriedly returned the gift. Zhao Qing was in a high position and had a prominent family background, so Zhou Wenda did not dare to treat him with disrespect.

"Hahaha, I am telling the truth. Your Majesty was very pleased. Before issuing the decree, he praised you to all the court officials in the hall, saying that if you were not talented and virtuous and had made great contributions to governing Qiongchuan, how could this place be so beautiful and talented?"

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of your praise!" Zhou Wenda bowed in the direction of the capital.

"Hey, Wenda, why should you be modest? Your Majesty has already made a rule in mind. When the inspection team returns to Beijing and the official evaluation is over, Wenda's good future will probably come!" Zhao Qing's tone became more and more intimate, as if he wanted to win him over.

The court was in chaos. Although they were ministers in the same palace, they had already divided into factions and were fighting each other. To be won over must have its value.

Zhou Wenda did not refuse, and took the opportunity to call Zhao Qing a brother.

He had already figured it out. He was not the material to be a loyal and lonely minister, and he did not have the heart to do so. How unpredictable is the emperor's mind? But it would not be enough to gain a foothold in the court just by relying on this "fruit offering". Alas, the future is unpredictable. The promotion that he had been looking forward to for many years is just around the corner, and he actually started to have some fears. The

lofty ambitions of the past have really been worn away.

Zhou Wenda laughed at himself in his heart, but after receiving Zhao Qing's affirmative words, he couldn't help but smile a little. "Then, I wonder about the case related to the Luo family and Lin Yu's husband..."

"Let our inspection team handle the case. We will go to Hejia Village tomorrow to convey the imperial edict. Since Lin Yu has been rewarded by His Majesty, there is no solid evidence about his husband in the case, and he has been detained for so long, it is better to release him for the time being."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Zhao Qing smiled but said nothing.

Zhou Wenda had people write big-character posters and post them on the city wall about the three-year tax exemption in Qiongchuan County. In just one day, the whole county was buzzing with laughter and joy in the fields, streets, pubs and teahouses.

The next day, Zhao Qing, led by Zhou Wenda, arrived at Hejia Village with a group of imperial guards and guards.

The entire Hejia Village had not seen such a large battle or such a high official for hundreds of years.

The emperor has issued an order! As soon as these four words came out, the village was in an uproar.

The elders of the clan came out one by one, trembling, followed by the villagers. The crowd whispered, but in an orderly manner. The clan leader He Hong stood straight in the front, Lin Yu followed behind He Youcai and Li, and He An stood beside him to support him.

"He surnamed Lin, Lin Yu, come forward."

"I am here."

"You are pregnant, so you don't need to kneel any longer. Stand up. Lin Yu, from the He family of Hejia Village, Qiongchuan County, listen to the imperial edict..."

Even after Zhao Qing finished reading the imperial edict, Lin Yu's head was still a little confused. Although He Ze had told him yesterday that an official would come to announce the imperial edict to him today, but at this moment, the psychological preparation he had done before seemed to be useless at all.

"By the way, Lord Zhao has ordered that there is insufficient evidence in the case of the refugee Wang Fucheng being poisoned. He Ze will be released first, and you can go and pick him up later."

Rejecting the enthusiasm of He Hong and the villagers, Zhou Wenda said to the He family before leaving.

"Really? Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" He Youcai and Li were overjoyed. Although He Ze, He An and Lin Yu had comforted them that they must be fine during this period, how could the father and mother feel at ease when the person was still in the cell! Now it's good! They can pick up his son!

"Why thank me? You should thank your blessed daughter-in-law. If he hadn't received the praise and reward from the emperor, how could he have been so kind to the He family kid?" Zhou Wenda said deliberately, remembering He Ze's instructions.

"That's right, that's right." Li held Lin Yu's hand tightly and smiled.

Seeing Zhao Qing, Zhou Wenda and the group of people who announced the decree leave, the Hejia Village suddenly became noisy.

"Aunt Li, congratulations! He Ze has cleared his name and is freed, and Yu has been rewarded by the emperor. This is a great joy! Even my Hejia Village has face to show up when we go out!"

"That's right, it's a blessing to be rich. Your son is promising, and he married a lucky star like Yu. Good days are yet to come!"

"You two were so picky at the beginning. You set your eyes on Yu. No boy in the surrounding villages can compare to Yu's looks. Now that I think about it, the two previous ones were not so lucky and couldn't bear Yu's blessing, so they suffered."

"You're right. This is the lucky star the emperor talked about. Then who is the emperor? He is a god from heaven. Who can't predict what a god can do?"

...

Listening to the flattery and praise from all around, the rumors about him being "hard-lived and unlucky in marriage" seemed to have never appeared in the past. Until this moment, Lin Yu understood the painstaking efforts of He Ze in planning all this for him.

"The emperor's imperial decree today is a great joy for Yu Ge'er and also for our Hejia Village. Three days later, our Hejia Village will hold a grand ceremony to worship our ancestors and inform our ancestors of this matter. Everyone should prepare well in these three days." He Hong said loudly. People are in high spirits when they are happy. At this moment, he is as excited as the elders of the He family, with a red face.

"Youcai, you should bring your He Ze back as soon as possible. And Yu Ge'er, take care of yourself. On the day of the ancestor worship, you should also go to the ancestral hall to burn incense for the ancestors of the He family."

"Patriarch, is this not appropriate?" He Youcai hesitated. It is the clan rule of Hejia Village that boys are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. This is not only the case in Hejia Village, but also in Qiongchuan and even the world. What's more, Yu Ge'er is a person of another surname.

"What's wrong with that!" He Hong waved his hand and said firmly: "It was originally a reward from the emperor to Yu Ge'er. Hejia Village has benefited from him. Since she married into my Hejia Village, she is a member of my Hejia Village. It's not a big deal to burn incense."

Seeing what He Hong said, He Youcai said no more. After all, she is his daughter-in-law, he is very happy!

That afternoon, He Youcai and He An drove a carriage to pick up He Ze in person. Li not only prepared a brazier for him, but also prepared pomelo leaves and pomelo peels for him to wash his hands and take a bath, which are all customs to get rid of bad luck.

Chapter 116 Courtroom

In the evening, after He Ze had appeased He Lao and Li, he finally returned to his and Lin Yu's new house, where they had lived for only two months.

Lin Yu was sitting at the table waiting for him.

"I'm back."

He Ze opened his arms. Lin Yu wanted to leave him alone for a while, but couldn't help but threw himself into his arms, "Welcome back." It was not

until this moment that Lin Yu finally felt a sense of relief that everything had settled.

"I'm sorry, I made you worry. And baby, I didn't stay with his mother when he was growing up. Will baby blame me?" He Ze hugged Lin Yu, and kissed Lin Yu's hair densely.

"Of course, he not only blames you, he also holds a grudge. He might fight with you in the future to avenge his mother." Lin Yu rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily.

"Haha, I'll wait. Let him grow up well, and he can take revenge in any way. But,"

"Hmm?"

"I think his mother might be happier if he takes revenge himself, what do you think?" Before Lin Yu could react, He Ze had already picked him up and walked towards the bed.

"Put me down! Stop it... The doctor said it's not allowed..."

"You lied to me, I've asked Uncle Xu, three months will be enough."

"...You bastard!"

The deep laughter, the humming protests, the rapid panting and the suppressed humming in the room together formed a moving melody with ups and downs, gentle and affectionate.

Three days was enough for He Ze to eat his fill.

Three days later, in the early morning, the light was dim, and all matters related to the ancestor worship in Hejia Village had been prepared. Every household in the village got up early and gathered in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall.

Although the He family was only a small clan and the rituals were not complete, they still prepared three animals as tribute. Several elders of the clan wrote a sacrificial text and recited it. The atmosphere was very solemn.

After reading the sacrificial text, He Hong asked He Ze and Lin Yu to come forward, and the two pushed He Youcai and Li up. He Hong said no more, "This ancestor worship is mainly because my He family's daughter-in-law has been praised by the emperor. The entire Hejia Village and the He family are proud of it. Everyone should learn more from Brother Yu, treat people with kindness and sincerity, and blessings will naturally come from heaven. In addition, Youcai's family has just discussed with me that all the money and expenses for this ancestor worship will be funded by his family, and he will help build a new ancestral hall later to give back to the clan."

"Really? Youcai's family is rich now, that's a hundred taels of gold!" Some people thought of the bright yellow gold on the day of reading the imperial edict, and their tone was sour.

"Aunt San, you are not jealous, are you? That is Yu Ge'er's blessing, awarded by the emperor. It's useless to be jealous! What if you offend our ancestors again..." Liu San stood at the end of the crowd, teasing the baby who was held next to him.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what are you talking about in this occasion! Oh, you can't let people say a few words after getting so much silver?"

"Quiet! Quiet! Youcai still has something to say, let's listen to him first."

"Fellow villagers, uncles, aunts, grandpas, the older ones among you are my elders, and the younger ones have to call me uncle, we are all family.

My kid got into trouble a while ago, I really thank you all for running around and caring about him, and the clan leader and several elders went to the yamen to petition for my He Ze. Today, my son He Ze has been released from prison, and my daughter-in-law has finally gotten her happy ending. She has a great fortune. Our family has discussed for a long time and decided to take out half of the reward, fifty taels of gold, that is, five hundred taels of silver, and have it be distributed by the clan members. The head of the clan and several elders jointly negotiated and established a free clan school in our village. We will invite scholars from the county to be teachers. All the children from our Hejia Village will be admitted!

Everyone, be quiet. Moreover, no matter which family the children are from, as long as they have a talent for studying, I, my kid, will take care of their future studies and imperial examinations in the county. Of course, the specific rules of this matter are still to be discussed by several elders, and I don't understand them. I only hope that the children of our He family will be as good as dragons and phoenixes in the future, bring honor to the family, and carry forward the He family..."

"Good! Well said!"

He Youcai hadn't finished speaking before his voice was drowned out by the applause of the crowd. The third aunt, who was jealous just now, clapped her hands and her face was flushed. She didn't know whether she was excited or embarrassed.

"When did our father become so good at talking? I can't tell." He Ze said while clapping his hands at the bottom of the stairs.

"That's right. Have you forgotten that when our flower shop opened, it was our father who went up to speak. Now my father can speak." He An held his head high, proud of it.

When He Ze and Lin Yu went in to burn incense, the ceremony was successfully completed. When returning home, Lin Yu suddenly stopped and subconsciously hugged his stomach.

"What's wrong? Are you tired? Let's take a break first?"

"No, I feel a little uncomfortable. He kicked me." Lin Yu didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. The child in his stomach seemed to feel that his father was back and became restless. He made trouble several times in the past two days.

"Little bastard is very naughty. I'll settle accounts with you when you come out." He Ze touched Lin Yu's stomach, "Or should I carry you back?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Lin Yu refused firmly. If he let He Ze carry him back now, how could he go out and meet people in the future!

"Okay, then I won't carry you. I'll help you. Be careful. When we get home, I'll ask Uncle Xu to come and see you." He Ze said. It would be more reassuring to ask Uncle Xu to come and see him.

Xu Qingsheng has been living in the village during this period. He will go earlier later. Maybe Uncle Xu hasn't gone out yet.

He Ze was lucky. When he went there, Xu Qingsheng hadn't gone out yet. Not only that, he came at the right time and ran into Zhang Am delivering food to Uncle Xu.

#What is it like to run into your mother-in-law delivering food to your future father-in-law#

He Ze just wanted to leave and then come back two incense sticks later.

The three of them were awkward for a moment, and He Ze was the first to speak, "Mother-in-law is here too, and Yu Ge'er is still talking to me about you at home. Why don't you stay? Yu Ge'er feels a little uncomfortable in his stomach. I was thinking of asking Uncle Xu to go and see him. Would you like to come with me?"

The day before yesterday, the family invited the Li family's grandfathers and uncles and Zhang Am to have a reunion dinner together, and everything that needed to be said was said.

He Ze was originally thinking about whether to invite Zhang Am to live at home since Lin Yu was pregnant, but now he looked at the two people who were just about to break the window paper, and silently gave up the idea in his heart.

"Not feeling well? Okay, I'll go with you." Zhang didn't want to go at first, but when she heard He Ze say that Lin Yu was not feeling well, she agreed immediately.

Lin Yu was not seriously ill. On the contrary, Xu Qingsheng told He Ze a good news.

"What? Uncle Xu, you said these are twins?"

"Yes, you are so lucky, you are the father of two children." Xu Qingsheng patted He Ze on the shoulder. He Youcai, Li and Zhang were also overjoyed.

He Ze was happy for a moment, then immediately worried, "Two children, will the birth..."

"The child is in good condition now. It won't be a big problem if we keep it up until the birth. I'll come every now and then when the month is a little later. You don't have to worry too much. When the time comes, hire a good midwife and nothing will happen. In addition, you have to take it easy. Why do you think these two have been so noisy these past few days? They are protesting against you. Young people should be restrained..."

Xu Qingsheng whispered the last few words into He Ze's ear. After all, He Ze had just gotten married and couldn't get over it. He touched his nose and said, "Yes, I know. Thank you, Uncle Xu."

After sending Xu Qingsheng away, Zhang also insisted on leaving. He Ze and his friends could not force her, so they just took Lin Yu and sent her back. Two days

later, He Ze waited for Luo Zhanming to deliver a letter, saying that the case had been investigated and the trial would start tomorrow, and asked He Ze to be ready to go.

"Brother-in-law told you not to worry, just wait until the trial starts tomorrow. The Wang family and Li Deming are biting each other, and they are all in a mess."

On the second day, He Ze finally understood what Luo Zhanming meant.

Wang's father and mother actually explained everything clearly in the court of execution, and sued Li Deming for murdering the servant and Wang Fucheng, resulting in the death of the two. Although the servant is a slave, the master cannot beat him to death! What's more, there is Wang Fucheng. Poor Li Deming's pretense of warning at Wang Fucheng's funeral became the fuse for Wang's father and mother to gamble everything.

Li Deming underestimated the importance of Wang Fucheng in the hearts of Wang's father and mother.

Things had come to this point, and Li Deming no longer had any luck. He took off his official hat and said calmly, "Sir, I am indeed guilty. I knew that my cousin Wang Fucheng was suspected of murder but concealed it and did not report it. This is the crime of harboring a criminal. But I only admit to the crime of harboring a criminal! The death of the servant had nothing to do with me, and the death of Wang Fucheng had even less to do with me! The servant and Wang Fucheng both died of poisoning. I don't know the poison, and I don't know how they were poisoned. I was just staying at the Wang family, and I didn't know that my brother and brother-in-law were so cruel. Not only did they poison the servant, but they also didn't let the doctor completely detoxify Fucheng. I only hated that I knew it too late. I didn't expect that in order to bring down the Luo family and wrongly accuse the He family, they would do such an immoral and crazy thing..."

"Li Deming, you beast! I'm going to kill you! How dare you say that! How dare you!" Wang's father's eyes were red with anger, and he rushed towards Li Deming, but was quickly held down by the yamen runners beside him.

"Sir! I didn't lie. I was originally staying here for a short stay, and I'm afraid I haven't even met the doctor who treats and detoxifies. If it weren't for my good brother and good brother-in-law's suggestion, how could the doctor only save half of the patient! If it was my intention, this would be even more outrageous. Wang Fucheng is their only son, how could they easily ignore their son's health for other reasons!"

Li Deming became more and more confident as he spoke, and even felt that this was the case.

"Li Deming, do you still want to quibble?"

At this time, Zhao Qing was sitting in the middle of the court, with two officials from the inspection team sitting on the right, and Zhou Wenda sitting on the left. Zhou Wenda was so angry that he almost laughed when he heard what Li Deming said. Did Li Deming think that he had come to show off his power before, and that the coercive actions he had taken could be regarded as nothing he had said or done?

What a wishful thinking!

"Come here, bring Zhang Cheng in."

Zhang Cheng! Zhang Cheng was the trusted follower that Li Deming had brought with him before.

Li Deming was panicking.

"My lord, I confess, I confess everything. The servant was deceived by my master and drank the poison. As for the young master of the Wang family... a few days before the young master of the Wang family died, my master specifically told me to secretly pour out half of his medicine, saying that he was afraid that Wang's father and Wang Mu would be cruel and let him get better... If you don't believe me, you can go find Cai'er who delivered the medicine. In order to make it easier to pour the medicine, I took his job those days..."

Zhang Cheng cooperated very well and sold Li Deming clean as soon as he opened his mouth, "My lord, I know my crime. What I did was ordered by Li Deming. I know my crime, I just ask you to punish me lightly."

"You..."

"Li Deming, I want you to pay for my son's life! Pay for my son's life!"

Wang Mu looked like a madman. Before Li Deming could finish his words, she suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it into Li Deming's back.

——Because she and Wang's father were in court as witnesses, they had not been detained before, so the hairpins on their heads were not taken off.

Wang Mu was kneeling next to Li Deming, and the two were very close. By the time everyone reacted, she had already stabbed him twice, and Li Deming had already fallen to the ground.

"Quick! Hurry up and grab her!"

"And you, you too, go die, and be buried with my son..."

Seeing that Li Deming had already fallen to the ground, Wang Mu suddenly rushed to He Ze who was standing aside. At this time, Wang's father also struggled violently, and the scene became very chaotic for a while.

Chapter 117 Ending

He Ze dodged quickly, and the stab only injured his arm. No matter how crazy Wang's father and Wang's mother were, they were just two people, and they were quickly subdued. Li Deming's heart and lungs were injured, and it was useless to invite a doctor.

He Ze never expected that this would be the ending.

"I guess Wang's father and Wang's mother didn't know that Li Deming had someone secretly pour the drug, otherwise they wouldn't be so crazy in the court." Afterwards, He Ze simply bandaged it in the county government office, and Luo Zhanming sighed to him.

"Do you know how this case will be judged?"

"Li Deming is guilty, but not punishable by death. Wang Fucheng is the main culprit for the death of the refugee. The death of the servant is the fault of Li Deming and Wang's father and mother, but he was just a servant, so according to the law, he will only be given a light sentence; Wang Fucheng's father, Wang mother, Li Deming, and even Wang Fucheng himself are guilty of the death of these few counts alone... None of the three people deserve the death penalty, but Li Deming has not been sentenced yet, and he is an official appointed by the court. An official appointed by the court was stabbed to death in court, and the impact is terrible... Do you know that killing an official is equivalent to treason, which is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the family!"

Zhou Wenda walked in, followed by his legal advisor Liu Yangji.

"This...brother-in-law, is it so serious?"

"Of course it can't be so serious. Qiongchuan just had a miracle, the Holy Word is a blessed land, and I have just been rewarded. If this is sentenced as it is, where will the emperor's face be? Lord Zhao has already said that Li Deming was stabbed to death after he took off his official uniform and hat and was sentenced." At this point, Zhou Wenda also breathed a sigh of relief. It is still easier to get things done with someone in the court!

"That's good, nine clans...how many lives will be lost." Luo Zhanming was still frightened, "Where are Wang's father and mother?"

"Murder in court, beheaded in autumn."

So far, this murder case, which was just a farce at the beginning, but later turned into a tool for fighting for power and profit, has finally come to an end.

Five months later, Hejia Village, the inner room of the new courtyard of the He family.

He Ze, He Youcai, and Xu Qingsheng stood at the door of the room. Li and Zhang were with them in the delivery room. He An was busy delivering water and food.

"Ah-"

By now, Lin Yu had been in there for almost an hour.

Outside the door, He An brought a basin of hot water to the aunt at the door - because he was not married yet, Li and Zhang would not allow him to go in.

He Ze stood at the bottom of the steps, hammering his head while walking non-stop.

"Brother, calm down for a while!" He An's mind was dizzy, "Uncle Xu is also here, and when Aunt came out just now, she told me that everything was normal, don't worry."

"That's right, you are so panicking that you almost panicked us too. When your Aunt gave birth to you, she made a fuss for a whole day and night, which made me worried... and Xiao An, your Aunt ate two bowls of rice halfway through the birth. Giving birth is not something that can be rushed! You wait patiently!"

"Ah, ah--"

The rapid and tragic screams in the room continued. Xiao Yuer has always been very strong, how painful it must be! He Ze couldn't hear anything at this moment, his face wrinkled into a ball of bitter gourd, he really couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and said to Xu Qingsheng: "Uncle Xu, how about I go in?"

After that, he strode towards the door.

"You are not allowed to come in! What are you doing here as a man? Can you deliver a baby or treat illnesses? Stay outside and don't come in and get in our way."

The door was suddenly opened and then slammed shut. He Ze only saw his mother's cold and ruthless face.

"Treat illnesses? Yes, treat illnesses!"

When the He family's new yard was being built, He Ze planted a lot of flowers and plants in it. It was also used as a warehouse for the flower shop. Many potted plants were placed in the corners. Now at a glance, the flowers were red and the leaves were green, lush and green.

He Ze felt more at ease. He had originally prepared a lot of flowers and plants that were harmless to pregnant women in Lin Yu's delivery room. He was panicked just now, but he didn't expect it for a while.

Standing still, he carefully guided the vitality stored in his body and the lively flowers and plants around him to enter the delivery room. He heard that the screams in the delivery room had become much smaller, and He Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Two hours later, Lin Yu gave birth to a pair of twin boys safely.

"Both are boys?"

"Yes, congratulations to Brother Youcai, congratulations to Aunt Li, Brother Yu has two boys in this move!"

Li and Zhang each held a swaddling cloth, looking at the eyebrows and eyes of the two little people in the swaddling cloth, and their mouths were grinning.

"Did you hear that? They are two little bastards. They can come to fight me together in the future." Beside the bed, He Ze grabbed Lin Yu's hand and kissed it again and again. Looking at his lover with sweat on the bed, he felt something surging in his chest, and tears came down when his eyes were hot.

Lin Yu looked at him quietly, with a gentle and beautiful smile.

...

One month later, the He family held a full moon banquet for the two children in the village.

In view of the fact that the two little babies were favored more than their parents as soon as they were born, the full moon banquet was prepared half a month ago. Father He and Li quarreled over which dish to serve at the banquet today, and quarreled over which wine to serve at the banquet tomorrow, but the two little babies hummed and the two were fine again.

At this rate, He Ze and Lin Yu were worried that these two kids would become devils in the future. But what could they do? The two sons smiled at them, and He Ze and Lin Yu felt their hearts melt. The

full moon banquet was held at noon, but the day before, He Youcai invited a chef from Yu's Restaurant in the county town, and Wei Quan, the storyteller in the restaurant, was also enthusiastically invited by He's father. Although the storytelling job was cut off later, He Ze still considered that when he had some free time in the future, he would organize and write down the stories in his mind. Lin Yu would like them, and the children would be able to read them in the future. The money earned could be used to build a road or run an orphanage in the future, which would be considered as doing good deeds.

He Ze was grateful for the life in front of him.

Near noon, dozens of tables were set up in front of the He family's yard, and the tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard were densely packed. Although Li had specially run the entire village before to tell everyone not to bring gifts, many villagers still came in with things. Among the guests, brothers and sisters went into the kitchen to help in groups of three or five, while the men gathered together to brag or move tables and chairs.

There were even tourists who came to enjoy the scenery at Liuxian Peak. Since the East Peak of Xiangyang Mountain was named Liuxian Peak by the Emperor, there has been an endless stream of scholars and literati coming to visit, and there are also many common people who come to experience the beauty of the world. Liuxian Peak has become a scenic spot, so that the flow of people in Hejia Village in the past few months has exceeded that of the previous decades combined.

"Brother Youcai, Heze, look, who is that? Why are they carrying so many things?"

Everyone looked at the gate of the courtyard, and there was a large group of people carrying red silk boxes in front. The ones in the front were Zhou Wenda and Luo Zhanming?

"Is this a betrothal? Whose family is it? How come I didn't hear anything? Our little An can't just marry casually!"

"Shut up! Did you see that guy in the front? That's our county magistrate! I heard that An's marriage was arranged with the Luo family in the county. That's a real wealthy family, the only one in the county," the person who spoke raised his thumb, "It's our county magistrate's in-laws. They're here to betrothal today, which is a double happiness!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and those who knew Zhou Wenda hurriedly saluted. Zhou Wenda waved his hands repeatedly, helped He Youcai up by himself, and laughed loudly: "Brother He, don't bother me. There is no county magistrate here today, but there is Zhan Ming's eldest brother-in-law. He came here today to propose marriage to my Zhan Ming, and to have a full moon wine for the two unicorns. Please help me."

He Ze pulled Luo Zhanming aside, "What's the matter? Didn't you say you would come later? Why are you here today?"

"You don't know, the imperial court sent a letter two days ago, saying that my elder brother's husband will be transferred to the capital after the New Year. He was afraid that he would not be able to attend my wedding ceremony, so he asked someone to prepare to come today."

"Transferred? So soon? Do you know who the new person is?"

"My elder brother's husband got the news that the new county magistrate is also from Qiongchuan. He passed the imperial examination last month. Although he was behind a few people, the Ministry of Personnel had just finished the evaluation and there was a shortage of officials, so the higher-ups arranged for him to come. It seems that his surname is Guan, what's his name..."

"Guan Du?" When he heard that his surname was Guan and he had just passed the imperial examination, He Ze immediately connected it with the name in his mind.

"Yes, that's his name. How did you know?"

He really didn't expect that he would help a talented person just by making a good relationship. But it's also good this way. Guan Du doesn't look like a difficult person to get along with, and he has done him a favor. He is better than others as the parent official of Qiongchuan.

"We were classmates for a while, and we were not familiar with each other. I didn't expect it was him," He Ze avoided the main point and changed the subject: "You are so anxious to propose marriage, is it really just Lord Zhou's idea? Didn't you add fuel to the fire?"

"Brother He! Brother He! Brother-in-law~" Luo Zhanming raised his elbow and bumped He Ze, calling him brother-in-law in a disgusting way.

He Ze wanted to say something else, but when he looked up, he found that Luo Zhanming was smiling foolishly. He turned around and He An, who had just poked his head out from behind Li at the door, suddenly shrank back.

Well, the cabbage in his house was completely taken away by the pig.

It was originally a mutual affection, and it was a marriage that both families were happy to see. The county magistrate came to propose marriage in person. He Youcai and Li were naturally very good, so why would they not agree?

Now, the full moon wine has become an engagement wine, which really lives up to the saying of double happiness!

At the banquet, He Ze and Lin Yu each came out holding a child, and went from table to table to recognize people and serve wine. The two little ones were very well-behaved, without crying or making a fuss. They received quite a few gifts, including a pair of jade pendants from Zhou Wenda. Luo Zhanming, the newly-minted future uncle, prepared two longevity locks for the children, with simple shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. "I hope the two little treasures will be safe and healthy, and everything will go well. By the way, have you named them?"

"Of course. The eldest will be named He Lin, Lin as in Ganlin, and the second will be He Yu, Yu as in meet." He had thought of the names of the two boys before Lin Yu was born. Fortunately, Old Man He didn't argue with him.

"He Lin, He Yu, nice names!" Luo Zhanming looked at He Ze, then at Lin Yu, took the eldest and held him in his arms, teasing: "He Lin, Xiao Lin, your name is so nice, did you hear me? I'm your uncle, you must recognize me..."

"How can you recognize someone at such a young age, are you stupid!" He An took the eldest and smiled: "If you want to recognize someone, you should recognize me first. We won't recognize him, you big bad guy."

Although men and women are not allowed to meet from the time of marriage proposal to the time of marriage, because today is a banquet, it is not a big deal to say a few words at the banquet, so He An did not avoid suspicion.

"How am I a bad guy? Xiao Yu, tell me, is your uncle handsome and unrestrained, and is he easy to recognize?"

He Yu replied him with a bubble to give him face.

"Haha..."

After everyone laughed for a while, Luo Zhanming asked, "When do you plan to move to the county town? The mountain roads here are rugged and inconvenient. I have already asked someone to take care of the house granted by the imperial edict. It is the best one chosen by my eldest brother-in-law."

"Wait until you and An Ge'er are married. Dad and Mom still want An Ge'er to marry out of the village. Their ancestors have lived in the village for generations, and they are a little reluctant for the time being. But they are also overthinking. After all, Lin Yu and I are thinking about coming back every now and then to go hunting in the mountains."

"Okay, as long as you have a plan in mind."

"Well, the land here is fertile. When the time comes, we can let the villagers learn to grow some medicinal herbs, open a medicinal herb shop in the county town, and then repair this road. Sooner or later, the village will become rich." He Ze thought to himself and said it unconsciously.

He has lived in Hejia Village for so long, and so many stories have happened there. He has long developed a sense of identity with this place and regarded it as his second hometown.

"Brother He made me realize today that when you are successful, you should help the world." Luo Zhanming picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

At this time, the sun was at its zenith, shining on the earth. There was a lot of noise in the courtyard, the aroma of food and wine mixed together, and the villagers toasted each other with smiles on their faces.

In the distance, Father He, Zhou Wenda, and several elders of the clan sat together, laughing from time to time; at another table, Uncle Li gave Am a thumbs up, and it was unknown what he was saying. Am Zhang and Uncle Xu sat next to them, and they smiled at each other, and then Am Zhang took a chopstick of food and sent it to Uncle Xu's bowl; Aunt Wang was bragging to the aunts and grandmothers in the village that he was the one who facilitated the marriage between her and Yu Ge'er; Yu's shopkeeper and Wei Quan were toasting each other, and Liu San and He Dalang were playing rock-paper-scissors with the scholars and tourists from the county town; in the corner, Wang Ji and Wang Fu were concentrating on gnawing on the big bones in their mouths; in front of him, Luo Zhanming whispered something to An Ge'er, and An Ge'er blushed and pinched Luo Zhanming's arm.

Wherever He Ze looked, there were smiles and warmth. He turned his head and Lin Yu was also looking at him. The two held the child in one hand and held the other two hands tightly together.

No matter the sunshine or thorns in the future, we will always be together until death.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

"That was when I was very young, I don't remember it."

"No, I'm talking about us, the first time we met, you saved my life with one arrow, and when you appeared in front of me, the sunlight fell on you, just like now, and I thought to myself, how could there be such a good-looking person?"

"The positions of hero and saving beauty are reversed, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Of course not, my wife is the most beautiful and powerful in the world~"

"Haha, you have good taste!"

- The end of the full text.

Chapter 118 Extra 1:

Ten years later, Hejia Village, Xiangyang Mountain, West Peak.

The sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and in the quiet forest, there were occasional rustling of green leaves and bending of green grass. A gray rabbit jumped from under this tree to that patch of grass, and then jumped from that patch of grass to a certain tree stump, so leisurely.

Behind a big tree in the distance, He Ze had already prepared his bow and arrow.

"Be careful, Nian'er still wants to raise rabbits, so it's just right to catch this one for him to prevent him from making trouble again." Lin Yu whispered beside him. Six years after giving birth to He Lin and He Yu, he was pregnant with twins again. This time he finally had a boy. The older boy was called He Ming, and the younger boy was called He Nian. The two brothers were only four years old. Compared with their older and younger brothers who were well-behaved, these two kids were so noisy that they almost drove He Ze and Lin Yu crazy.

Whoosh - the sound of the sharp arrow piercing the air and the arrowhead sinking into the flesh came next.

"Let's go and have a look."

He Ze picked up the rabbit on the ground. "It seems that his archery skills have not declined. He only hurt his buttocks. I will take him back and bandage it later. It will be healed in ten days or half a month."

"What a pity. Since the reputation of Liuxian Peak has spread, people have come and gone on Dongfeng, and there are fewer prey on the other peaks."

"Seeking benefits and avoiding harm, these little animals are also very smart."

Their harvest today was not very good. In addition to shooting two pheasants and picking up two quail eggs when they first went up the mountain, there was only this rabbit.

"Let's go, let's go to Dongfeng to have a look."

Now the road from Hejia Village to the county town has been repaired. During the years when Guan Du was the county magistrate, he specially built a stone road from the bottom of the mountain to the top of Dongfeng, built several pavilions on the mountain, and planted many maple trees. Now Dongfeng, no, it should be Liuxian Peak, has become the first choice for scholars and poets in the surrounding counties to gather. There is also a snack street at the foot of the mountain, selling all the specialties of the village, and the lives of the villagers have also improved a lot.

After Liu San got married, he opened a small tavern at the foot of the East Peak, and the business was very good.

"Ah, I'm tired..."

He Ze turned his head, and Lin Yu blinked and looked at him innocently.

What else can I do with my beloved?

He Ze sighed, stuffed the bow and arrow into the backpack, and put the backpack on Lin Yu's back, bent his waist, and said, "Come up."

His actions and tone were very domineering.

Lin Yu showed a big smile and jumped onto He Ze's back.

"Hold tight, we are going to fly--" He Ze shook the baby on his back and walked straight to the big tree next to him.

"Ah--He Ze, what are you doing!"

Lin Yu seemed to have arrived in a world full of green, and everything around him was retreating so quickly that his head began to dizzy.

When Lin Yu woke up, they had reached the top of the East Peak.

Time was just a moment.

Although he had played this game with He Ze several times, Lin Yu still felt both exciting and a little scared. He got off He Ze's back, surrounded by a dense jungle, and there was no one.

Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." He Ze took the backpack off his back and carried it on his own, then held his hand and walked around the tree.

"Where are we going?"

After about a quarter of an hour, He Ze stopped. In front of him was a small pavilion, and next to the pavilion was a warm pool with a stone wall.

"Is this... that hot spring pool?"

"Yes, we haven't been here for a long time. Let's take a bath together, brother Lin Yu?"

He Ze recalled that he almost molested Lin Yu by this hot spring pool. Thinking about it now, it seems like yesterday.

"Lecher!"

Lin Yu drew his bow and wanted to shoot him, but before his expression cooled down for a while, they looked at each other and laughed.

At noon, the two of them grilled a fish and had two pears for lunch, which was also a special taste. In the afternoon, the two went down the mountain. But before they reached the door of their home, two dumplings had already rolled into their arms like two balls.

"Dad! Mom!"

"Dad! Mom! Do you miss me? I miss you!"

Listen, what a lovely baby! They just spent one day alone! He Ze squatted down helplessly and picked up the two little kids together, "Of course, Dad and Mom miss you. So, who brought you here?"

"It was Aunt." He Nian answered quickly.

"And Uncle." He Ming added.

The two kids sold the adults very quickly.

He An heard the noise and came out, "Xiao Ming and Xiao Nian, you were caught by Aunt this time! What did you say before? You were the ones who made a fuss to come here, not Aunt? Huh?"

"It wasn't Aunt who brought you here, but Uncle." He Ming rolled his eyes and said in a baby voice.

"Oh, Xiao Ming is quite smart, Uncle heard it too!" Luo Zhanming walked out with a delicate little boy. This is the second child of He An and Luo Zhanming, named Luo Yi, who is five years old this year and only one year older than his two younger brothers. The eldest is Luo Shang, a boy, who is eight years old this year.

He Ming's expression froze, and he looked at He Nian, and both of them buried their heads in He Ze's arms.

"Mingming, Nian Nian, come down quickly, let's go play." Roy ran over and pulled the two little ones' hands. When He Ming and He Nian heard their brother calling, they immediately struggled to get down.

"I'll take you to see Huahua. Huahua bites people, but don't be afraid. If we don't touch it, it won't bite us..." The three children disappeared in the yard hand in hand. "

Why are you here? Why didn't the eldest come?" The two pairs of parents followed the children. He Ze took out the prey and hung up the backpack. Lin Yu asked beside him.

"You are so leisurely... The eldest is having fun with your two big ones at grandpa's house. I can't even pull him over."

"Haha, it's good that you don't have to worry about it. If my two little ones can be as worry-free as two big ones, I will be crazy happy." He Ze laughed.

"Just brag!" Luo Zhanming replied unhappily. He knew very well that compared with the other people in the He family, his brother-in-law was the real son slave. The three boys in front were okay and tough, but for the youngest Nian, he really wanted to take the stars and the moon.

The two aunts in front had gone to play with the children. "Actually, I came here to talk to you about something serious." Luo Zhanming said.

"Hmm?"

"Xiaolin and Xiaoyu are both ten years old. What do you think? Xiaolin is really talented. He has a photographic memory, quick thinking, and a rare calmness. If he takes the imperial examination and enters the officialdom in the future, he will have a bright future. As for Xiaoyu, although he is a little worse than Xiaolin, he is also very smart. I don't know how you raised this child!" Luo Zhanming sighed again and got to the point. "It's like this. I received a letter two days ago that my eldest brother's husband will be back soon and will be transferred here to be the prefect and govern Qiongchuan. I want the children to find a teacher. Of course, we are all a family, and it's just a name."

"This is a good thing, I agree." The prefect of a province is a fourth-rank official. Zhou Wenda was also a Jinshi in the past, so he is not bad in terms of knowledge. If the child really wants to take the imperial examination in the future, it is good to have a backer.

"Okay, I'll just say hello to you first. The specific ceremony of becoming a disciple will have to wait until they take up their posts."

"Okay, you can inform me in advance when the time comes."

They had dinner at Zhang Am and Xu Shu's place. Shortly after He Lin and He Yu's full-month celebration, Zhang and Xu Qingsheng also had a simple banquet. After inviting the elders of the clan to witness, they were considered married. Now they have been together for ten years.

...

Two months later, Zhou Wenda officially took office. A month later, he accepted He Lin, He Yu and Luo Shang as his disciples, with high hopes. At the apprenticeship ceremony, He Ze gave him two potted plants as gifts.

"This, can't be the

same as the divine fruit back then..." Zhou Wenda was a little excited. "Divine fruit is something you can only encounter but not seek. It's not like cabbage that you can just say you have it. These two pots... just have some health-preserving effects."

"That's not bad!" Zhou Wenda seemed very happy and ordered someone to send one pot to the bedroom and one to the study. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Based on your supernatural powers, the thing I said in the letter before..."

He Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Zhou Wenda and the eldest brother of the Luo family have been married for nearly 20 years. They only had a son in the past two years. When he was transferred to Beijing ten years ago, he repeatedly wrote to him to ask about this matter. Unfortunately, He Ze only has a wood-related ability, and he is not the Goddess of Childbearing. How can he help people have sons!

However, Zhou Wenda has never taken a second color in all these years, which makes He Ze much closer to him.

"I really can't do it. You and sister-in-law should relax. You are both in good health. If you want to have a son, you will have it sooner or later.

" "Hey, don't comfort me." Zhou Wenda waved his hand, "If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. If I really don't have the fate of having a son, I will accept it. At least I still have my brother Yue."

Brother Yue is Zhou Wenda's late son, who is three years old this year. When he mentioned him, Zhou Wenda also smiled. "What do you think of our two families arranging a baby marriage? I really like Lin'er. If this were my son, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. But I thought about it, a son-in-law is only half a son, and there is not much difference between half and one!"

"Don't!" He Ze was afraid that he would refuse too slowly. He didn't want his children to be poisoned by arranged marriages. This is the lifelong event of the two children! "Don't say that you are a fourth-rank official, and I am a commoner. Besides, my Lin'er is seven years older than Yue'er. There is a gap in age. If the child doesn't like him in the future, won't he blame us as parents?"

"Okay."

Seeing that He Ze firmly opposed it, Zhou Wenda didn't say anything more. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If there is really a destiny, it is possible that Lin'er can really become half of his son.

The days are like running water, whistling and rushing by. Ten years later, He Lin, a son of the He family in Qiongchuan County, won the third place in the imperial examination. Hejia Village and the He family have opened a new chapter since then.

When He Ze was 45 years old, He Lin and his friends had already married. In the same year, He Lin's son was born, which was his and Lin Yu's grandson. When the two were in their 50s, they sent off Zhang Amu and Xu Shu one after another. Two years later, He Laodi and Li also passed away one after another.

According to the He family genealogy, the ancestor He Ze and his wife Lin died of a serious illness three years after they turned 60. When they were alive, they revitalized the He family, helped the people, and their good reputation spread far and wide. They also loved each other and remained together until they were old. They were once a good story and recorded in the county annals for future generations to read.

Chapter 119 Extra 2: Start

Qiongchuan County, Hejia Town.

The red leaves of the mountains in the distance are like fire, and the busy streets are crowded with people. A carriage is slowly coming from a distance. The old man driving the carriage has white hair and beard, but his face is ruddy, his hands and feet are nimble, and he seems to be in good health.

"We're here, let's get off and eat something first."

The old man jumped off the carriage and pulled the curtain. The person inside is also an old man, and you can still see some of his handsomeness in his youth between his eyebrows. At this time, he is leaning on a thick cotton mattress and sleeping soundly. The

old man who got off the car first smiled unconsciously, but the smile quickly withdrew, and his eyes were filled with indelible sadness. He walked to the shop next to him, "Please prepare a bowl of bean juice for me, add some sugar, but not too sweet, and also make two pancakes and two eggs."

The old man handed over a piece of silver.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon." When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes brightened a little and he became more enthusiastic. "Are you from out of town? You don't know that my pancake shop has been open for more than ten years. Our pancakes are unique, thin and crispy, and taste great!" "

Really?"

"Of course, sir, do you see the mountain in front? That is the famous Liuxian Peak, where immortals have stayed. You must know He Lin, Lord He from our He family! He was the top scholar and a first-rank official in his lifetime. Later, he became the emperor's teacher. He grew up at the foot of this mountain when he was a child. I dare to open a shop here, but I dare not talk nonsense!" The

word "in his lifetime" was really harsh. The old man felt a little melancholy. "It has been more than ten years, and you still remember him."

"Of course, Lord He was a good official. When he died, the emperor personally conferred him the title of Duke Wende and kept vigil for three days as a disciple. When the coffin was sent back to Qiongchuan, many of our people spontaneously fasted and mourned, and cried uncontrollably. We ordinary people know what happened and will never forget the officials who were good to us."

"As long as you remember him, his life can be considered complete. I am proud of him."

"Haha, let alone you. Just pick any commoner in Qiongchuan and you will see who would not be proud of Lord He." The shopkeeper chatted happily, and he didn't relax on the pancake in his hand. He even cracked two eggs on it. "And do you know our Hejia Town? It turned out to be Hejia Village. Later, Lord He's father became rich, but he didn't forget his hometown. He built roads and set up schools. He did a lot of good things. Coupled with the reputation of Liuxian Peak, this place prospered a lot. As Lord He became more and more powerful, the villagers also got up and the population became more and more prosperous. Hejia Village became Hejia Town. My surname is also He. I have three grandchildren in my family, and they are all studying in school!"

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, people talk a lot when they get old. I'm afraid I've wasted your time. I'll give you another egg for free. You've had a good chat today."

"Okay, thank you then."

The pancake was finally spread out, and the shopkeeper wrapped it and handed it to the old man, "Here you go. You must try our craftsmanship."

"Okay, I'll definitely try it later." The old man couldn't help but smile when he heard his words, and said flatteringly.

Carrying the soy milk and pancakes, the old man took them to the carriage while they were still hot. At this time, the other old man in the carriage also woke up. After a while, the carriage began to move forward slowly again, which was the direction of Hejia Village decades ago.

The two old men haven't been back for a long time.

At this time, the houses in Hejia Village are neat and tidy, with wide courtyards and few smoke from cooking. The school at the head of the village occupies a large area, and the sound of children reading is crisp and melodious, which is transmitted to the ears of people returning from afar. Only the old tree at the head of the village seems to have not changed except that it is taller.

The two old men smiled at each other and walked towards the school hand in hand.

The bronze bell outside the school struck, "School is over - school is over -"

Laughing and cheerful children ran out of the school one after another. A chubby-faced, short-haired boy with a bun and a book in his arms ran around and then fell to the ground with a bang.

"Hey, where did this little darling come from? Are you hurt?"

The old man hurriedly picked up the short-haired boy, who patted his knees, pouted and tried to hold back, looking like a little adult, "No, thank you grandpa."

"Jinyu, I told you to run slower! Look, did you fall again!"

An old man carrying a book box ran up from behind. He was elegant and had white hair, like a respected teacher. The short dwarf, who had not cried just now, burst into tears as soon as he saw the person coming, "Grandpa, ugh, it hurts--"

"Be good, I told you to run, will you listen to grandpa in the future?" The teacher patted the mud on the short dwarf's body, and then raised his head, "Thank you, both of you, you--"

The moment he raised his head, all the words were swallowed down his throat, "Grandfather, Grandfather--"

...

The two old men were He Ze and Lin Yu.

After sending away Zhang and Uncle Xu, and then sending away Old Man He and Li, and watching the children get married and have children, He Ze and Lin Yu pretended to be dead and left. Over the years, they have been to the sea, climbed snow-capped mountains, watched waterfalls, seen the aurora, walked through the jungle... They have been to many places, seen many people and many scenery, until these years, Lin Yu's body began to be unable to support him to perform wood escape.

They came back when An Ge'er died, and later it was Lin'er, Yu'er, then Ming'er, Nian'er, they sent one after another away, and now it was his turn to send Yu Ge'er away.

In the past few days, Yu Ge'er's spirit has been getting worse and worse. He often falls asleep while talking to him. In fact, both of them have already had a premonition of something.

He can live, and even live for a long time. But Lin Yu can't. His supernatural powers and vitality can make him free from illness and pain, and healthy, but he can't overcome the limit of the human body. He is already over a hundred years old and he is about to die.

But He Ze didn't have the courage to see him off.

He Ze and Lin Yu lived in the old house when they were newly married. During the day, they lay together to bask in the sun, looking at the lush flowers and plants in the corners. The grapes in the yard are almost ripe, hanging in bunches of purple and red. He Ze often talked to Lin Yu about the time when they were not married, and recalled to him the love process of the two teenagers. He also liked to tell him stories, myths, modern times, and the end of the world.

The teacher brought the dwarf Dunzi to deliver meals every day.

The teacher is He Lin's second son, named He Qi. He also followed his father to take the imperial examination, but he was injured on the way to disaster relief a few years ago and has not been in good health, so he retired early and returned to the old house. He taught in the clan school when he had nothing to do.

The short Dunzi is his grandson, a boy named Jinyu, who is only six years old this year. He came to study more to join in the fun.

When He Ze and Lin Yu faked their deaths, He Qi was already a teenager, so he naturally knew about it. And when his father and uncle died one after another, he saw his grandfather and grandmother. But later, when the youngest aunt He Nian also died, his grandfather and grandmother never came back.

But this time, I'm afraid that my grandfather and grandmother will not leave.

He still remembered the time when his grandfather held him high above his head when he was a child. In the blink of an eye... He Qi suppressed his sore nose and picked up Jinyu, "Jinyu, be good. Grandpa is in a bad mood. Can you go in and sing a song for him later?"

"Jinyu is the best. What shall we sing? Little duck?"

"It's all right. Jinyu is great."

...

At night, after Lin Yu fell asleep, He Ze left the yard and found He Qi waiting there.

"We both don't have much time left, so don't notify anyone else for now. I'll spend the last few days with him. After we die, bury us together on Xiangyang Mountain, where he and I first met." "

Grandfather--"

"Everyone will die one day, and we've lived long enough. Why are you crying like this, a man over fifty?" He Ze patted his shoulder and taught him, "In the future, your eldest brother will be the head of the family. He will act cautiously and won't make any mistakes, so we can leave with peace of mind. As for other things, I'm not as good as your father, and I have nothing good to leave for you. I just hope that the descendants of my He family will have a clear conscience in the future, and that's enough."

"...Yes, grandfather."

"Go back."

Three days later, Lin Yu woke up at dawn. The bedding next to him was already cold, and He Ze was not there. He got dressed and went out, and saw the smoke rising from the kitchen at a glance.

He Ze was making wontons, and the stuffing had been chopped.

"Why did you think of cooking? Won't Qi'er bring the meal over?" Lin Yu walked behind He Ze and watched his fingers flying as he made wontons quickly and well.

"Don't you always say that wontons are better than dumplings? I'll cook today. Can you please try a few more later?"

"Okay."

Lin Yu responded. He leaned quietly on He Ze's back, holding his waist, his mind becoming fuzzy again.

"Yu'er, Yu'er... don't sleep. I'll be done soon. Can you sleep later?"

Da -

water dripped on the wonton skin, but He Ze didn't care and wrapped one after another.

That night, He Ze went to Xiangyang Mountain alone. The next day, when He Qi came to deliver the meal, he saw that his grandfather seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his steps became unsteady.

When he was about to leave the hospital, He Ze stopped him and said, "In the future, if the He family really encounters an unavoidable disaster, take the bow I gave you, Zumu, and go up the mountain to try it out."

"Grandfather?"

"Go ahead."

He Ze did not explain, so He Qi had to leave with a lot of doubts.

In the evening, the sun set, and the fiery afterglow illuminated the earth red. Lin Yu, who had slept for a day, was rarely awake. When he turned his head and saw He Ze lying on a recliner beside him, his eyes couldn't help but feel sore.

"Why are you so stupid... Well, it's just the two of us..." He hugged his arm and carefully leaned over.

That year, He Ze miraculously appeared in this world and in his life. They met, fell in love, and grew old together. It was as beautiful as a fairy tale in He Ze's mouth.

He was lucky and satisfied.

Enough.

A breeze blew, and the hair of the two old men was tangled together, and the yard returned to silence.

Time passed slowly, bit by bit, and the yard was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.

In the distance, Xiangyang Mountain, the North Peak where He Ze and Lin Yu met, was in late autumn, but the grass and trees on the mountain were lush and green, and this green was spreading rapidly outward and to the entire Xiangyang Mountain.

In an inconspicuous corner, a fingernail-sized, crystal-clear green diamond-shaped fragment was merging into a small stump that had been cut off. The heart of the stump was red and the texture was tight. It was actually a cycad. When the fragment was completely immersed in the heart of the tree, the new buds on the stump suddenly grew taller, and the branches and leaves shook, constantly breathing the sweet air in the forest, exuding a pleasant breath.

Perhaps, this will be the beginning of another story.

The author has something to say: This article ends here, officially completed, and the previous errors will be corrected next, but there should be no new chapters. Thank you for reading this little angel, you are really true love... At the beginning, it was an accident to stop updating, and later it became addictive... I want to say sorry to you, I am really sorry. Now it is finally, finally finished. Maybe it's because it's been too long. I feel a sense of loss... Well, thanks to my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I didn't give up. There was one time when I didn't dare to read the comments. My friend took a screenshot and told me, "Look, there are still readers waiting for you to update." I was really ashamed when I saw it at that time... Fortunately, it is finished. It's not a bad ending. It's the ending I thought of from the beginning. There are no deletions or changes to the plot. I wrote it seriously and wrote the extra chapters. It can be regarded as curing a heart disease for me. As for the new article, I am afraid you don't want to see my new article. Because this article has not been finished in the past two years, many of the plots I want to write have not been written, and finally died in the womb. I dare not start a new article without a draft in hand. Finally, I'm sorry. I failed everyone's trust and failed to take responsibility for myself. I'm very sorry.

In addition, I recommend an article to two friends. They both have drafts in hand, so don't worry about pitfalls. Emmmm
