Prince of the Red Chamber wins rebirth

There are two flowers, one on each side.

Not to mention the various internal strife in the Wang family, just to say that Lin Ruhai finally arrived at the destination of the trip—Feng County, Guangdong, after more than two months of bumpy roads.As soon as I arrived at the gate of the city, I was stunned by the spectacular crowd who came to greet me. Without him, there were too many people.The leaders were three middle-aged men dressed differently. They were not Han Chinese at first glance, but local aborigines.Seeing Lin Ruhai coming, he immediately stepped forward and said with a pleasant smile: "The sun is so bright today, it turns out that it is the presence of an adult that allows us to bask in the sunshine. The little head of the Cao family, Cao Mouchang, has seen it Your Excellency the County Magistrate." The man in white robe standing on the right immediately answered the words: "Yes, my lord, you are like a guiding star in the sky, illuminating the hearts of our Hakka people, please be sure to come to Feng County." I want to drink this wine, so that we can receive the respect of our Gehou family." After speaking, he held the pot himself, poured out a glass of amber wine, and the master Zishu standing on the right held the silver cup and brought it to Lin Ruhai. The piety of the face.

Lin Ruhai did not refuse, "Then I will be disrespectful to the official. May I seal the county with good weather and the people's well-being." Everyone in the back knelt down and shouted, "The weather is good and the people are in peace." Everyone surrounded Lin Ruhai to the Yamen, and saw the city Here, the streets are clean and orderly, and people of all colors come and go frequently.After doing it for a while, the three of them took the lead to say goodbye.

The next day, Lin Ruhai took the sick leave on the grounds of being "tired from the journey". In fact, he was looking at the previous files in the yamen, and he was not in a hurry to deal with the bandits. Instead, he opened a new file. The "Local Chronicles: Biography of Lie Nu" clearly records that half a year before the bandit's breakfast, a young daughter-in-law who was a widow was buried.This woman does not belong to someone else's family. Her natal family is the Ge Hou family who toasted yesterday. She is an orphan girl. Her parents died young. At the age of 15, she married into her husband's family and became a widow. It has been 13 years since she committed suicide. That is to say, this woman was already in her twenties at the time. Half her life has passed, and she suddenly thought of dying for love. No matter how you look at it, it is strange.

Lin Ruhai's illness has lasted for more than a month. At first, there was nothing wrong with it. People thought it was because of the hard work on the road and the hot climate here. But it has been more than a month. Why is it still not healed? The common people began to discuss , and then there was gossip that the county magistrate was poisoned and killed. After all, at the gate of the city that day, the owner of the Gehou family poured the wine himself. Killing the new county magistrate with poison" was later rumored to have a nose and eyes, and a few days later there were gossips that the poison was not administered by the master Ge Hou. You must know that this wine is a hundred-year-old wine provided by the Cao family. It was the target of public criticism, but within a few days there was another news. After receiving the news that day, Wen Ming, the head of Uncle Zi’s family, specially told his subordinates to hang up a firecracker to celebrate fiercely. The result in Hou Haozhi's hands is the poison that was cast at this time. In a few days, there will be all kinds of theories in the teahouse and restaurant, and there will be a lot of discussions, which makes people dizzy. I don't know which one is right. no more.

In a few days, even the magistrate was alarmed, and specially sent a famous doctor from Guangdong Province to ask for his pulse. I only heard that when the famous doctor came out, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and anyone who came forward to ask would be shocked Shaking his head, "If I can get through this month, I will be fine." Now the common people will have a lot of fun, in the teahouse, under the overpass, all kinds of storytelling artists make up new stories, today this family is "traitor in power , The poor generation of Master Qingtian passed away early", tomorrow's family will be "killing people with power, and setting off firecrackers to celebrate".No one cares about this matter. After all, they didn't name names. Besides, the three families wanted to clear the suspicion. The jokes are then handed over to the storyteller, one match is wonderful, or the scholar is ruthless, swears without swearing, and can throw your face on the ground and step on your feet.

What is Lin Ruhai doing at this time?Not lying on the hospital bed dying, but waiting anxiously for the return of the scouts with a team of people.During that day, the county government office in Fengxian county was on fire, and half of the county town was reddened. The robbery in the store, all kinds of crimes, are heinous.

Although they tried their best to rescue them, they were ruthless and ultimately failed.Not only the county government office, but also the street was burned to the ground, and only a handful of people escaped to save their lives.Coupled with the people who were hacked and killed indiscriminately, the casualties were heavy.

In the next month, the whole city was completely silent, every family mourned, it became a crying city.On the contrary, it set fire to those who bought coffins, as well as the temples outside the city, the incense flames soared, and there was an endless stream of people burning incense and worshiping Buddha, all praying for the blessings of gods and Buddhas.

The official action was not slow either. This incident happened within three days, and the General of Guangdong and the prefect personally brought people to maintain order.Five thousand elite soldiers also came with them, who wanted to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress bandits.The first is to put up a list to calm the people, and porridge sheds were opened everywhere in the city to accommodate the victims and clean up the scene.

When the army encircled and suppressed the bandits again, the people finally stopped sympathizing with the bandits, and instead began to actively send letters to the government, hoping that the army would eliminate the bandits and return justice to the people.These bandits have no real skills at all, they just rely on the locals, and they hide in the crowd as soon as the government comes. Occasionally, they rob the rich and help the poor for a while, and slowly win the hearts of the people, but this time, it is completely The bandits completely lost their biggest protection umbrella, but within half a month, the army returned triumphantly, and of course the one who was supposed to be buried in the sea of ​​flames was Lin Ruhai, County Magistrate Lin, who was walking behind the General of Guangdong.

On that day, Lin Ruhai said that his illness had muddied the water in the county, and there was a lot of trouble.After the bandits mixed in the county knew about it, a group of bandits finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to make a big deal. Lin Ruhai decided to plan. As soon as the bandits entered the county, they set the county government on fire, fueling the momentum of the bandits and killing the bandits. A farce played vigorously.

No one noticed that during the chaos that day, the head of Ge Hou's family died tragically, and his eldest son, who was only six years old, succeeded him as the head of the family. At the invitation of the General of Guangdong, he sold his ancestral property and moved home after the first seven days. , leaving only collaterals that are unwilling to leave, and will never become a climate again.

The head of the Cao family was seriously injured and died. After holding on for five days, the head of the family officially divided the Cao family into five parts. His younger brothers Cao Mouzheng, Cao Mousheng, Cao Moujin and Cao Mouyun Yizhi, his three sons also separated, Cao Xingzuo,

The three brothers Cao Xingsheng and Cao Xingyu each formed a family and moved away on their own, no matter where they were, but they were not allowed to be together.The most important thing is to change the ancestor in the genealogy from Wei Gaozuwen Emperor Cao Pi to Cao Zhi, so that he can claim to be a descendant, and he will die after doing this.His son obeyed his will, and after the funeral, he donated the manor in the family property to the government for disaster relief and charity, and some servants who were unwilling to leave were all rewarded with a contract of sale and became commoners from then on.

After Lin Ruhai received the title deed, he highly praised this move, and reported it to the imperial court to apply for the title of his father Cao Mouchang, who was finally posthumously awarded as a fifth-rank official, and ordered to publicize this move.
