Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216 Feng Xianglan avenges her father

Watching Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su County go on horseback first, at sunset, Wang Heng and Xiaocai dragged their two long backs onto the Zhuge family's mule cart.

Wang Heng had been brewing his emotions for a long time and wanted to discuss his opinions with Xiaocai. Xiaocai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Seven, your placement test is in three days."

In an instant, Wang Heng's thoughts changed from emotional to rational, and he was sweating. After returning to his hometown from Ziyang Academy, he had not read the books seriously. The few volumes that Mr. Zhang gave him had not even been read when he took them back. I feel really ashamed. He is not really a yameni, and he has been a little in a trance lately.

That day when he returned to Zhuge's house from Taoye Ferry, Wang Heng stayed behind closed doors and took care of himself. The next day, Xiaocai was the one who took Aunt Hong to Longjiangguan Wharf.

Xiaocai met Mrs. Mao Fengchang who was returning home with a coffin. Mrs. Mao was in her fifties and was very kind. She was not a harsh old widow. Therefore, she felt relieved to let Aunt Hong take the boat back to Taicang.

Three days later, at the first quarter of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning), Wang Heng walked from the towering triple archway into the main room of Yilun Hall to take the exam. By visual inspection, there were about one to two hundred people, all young students.

Mr. Wu from the South Supervisor came to offer a few words of encouragement in person. This exam did not disqualify anyone, it was just a placement test. Papers were handed in in two hours, and papers were graded on the same day and divided into classes and dormitories in the afternoon.

Wang Hengjing was mediocre in history and policy theory. As expected, he was assigned to the Hall of Justice. He thought he would be at the bottom of the list, but Mr. Zhang helped him sort out the important points and worked hard for three days. Moreover, his class received more this year. Several overseas students from Jiaozhi, Korea, and Ryukyu were ranked in the middle and lower places when the rankings were released, so they were lucky enough not to lose face.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the South Prison stipulated that all prison students must live in dormitories. As time went by, many of the regulations were in vain. Wang Heng took two prison students' robes and wanted to go back. He only waited until 3:00 on September 20th (8:00 a.m. Half a year later, when school started, I saw the little fat man who had just sat next to him during the exam. I had already gotten to know him. I knew that he was also in the Zhengyi Hall. His surname was Li and he was from Jiangning. Li Sheng called out to him: "Young Master Wang Qi, please don't let me go first." Let's go, Mr. Ruan from Jiaozhi wants to invite some of his classmates to have a drink at the Hua Fang on the Qinhuai River, so that we can have a good time together."

Wang Heng knew that if he went to Huafang to have a drink, he would definitely be drinking flower wine. He couldn't afford such an expense, so he declined and said, "Brother Li, I have something to do today. Let's see you another day."

Wang Heng felt a sinister gaze wandering away from him. He seemed to be a thin little man. He only recognized Li Sheng in his life, and he had no idea who this little man was.

After that, he took his clothes and returned to Suojin Village, waiting for school to start in five days. Wang Heng and Xiaocai took advantage of this opportunity to move to a new house by Liuqiu Bridge. Every day, Yao Ma, recommended by Xiao Wang's mother, did the laundry and cooking, and the two of them did the rest themselves.

In order to save money, they were not even going to keep mules and donkeys for the time being. Wang Heng wanted to walk for a while to see if it was necessary.

Zhuge Xian invited him to ride in the mule cart with him in the morning and evening. Wang Heng only said that if there was a heavy rain or lightning, he would come to Zhuge's house for a ride. Zhuge Xian also knew that this was a way to get along for a long time, so he went with him.

After Wang Heng started school, Zhuge Xian recommended Xiaocai to Zhu Xiucai's private school nearby. Now, everyone was studying, chatting in their free time, and living a very comfortable life.

The classes at Wang Heng Zhengyi Hall were not heavy, Zhang Xiru did not want to keep slaves, and there was only one old servant in Si Ye's house. He took time to help Mr. Zhang run errands, and he got to know many scholars who founded the society.

A few months later, I heard that Mr. Zhang was going to say goodbye to Su Xianzun. Su Xianzun was summoned to Beijing by Yuan Fu for a promotion. However, he showed little joy and said to Mr. Zhang worriedly that something might be going to change. Let Mr. Zhang restrain himself in time. Scholars who start a society at once can avoid being hated by others.

More than a month later, Mr. Zhang said sadly: "The newspaper in the residence said that General Sun Junmen of Zhenyuan, who was seeing us off at Taoye Ferry that day, was assassinated in the imperial capital." Wang Heng felt a shiver in his heart, thinking it was Feng Xiang. Lan made it happen.

What is puzzling is that Sun Junmen himself is not weak in swordsmanship, and he has a highly capable attendant at his side. How can he still survive when he goes to the field, but when he is so powerful in the imperial capital, he is captured by Feng Xianglan?

When I went back and told Xiaocai, Xiaocai also sighed, feeling that Feng Xianglan didn't know what her situation was now. Did she seek mercy and get mercy, or was she in jail?
The alley was quiet, and the yellow leaves had almost fallen. Seeing that the New Year was coming again, Wang Heng decided to go to Wujiang Songling before returning to his hometown. Feng asked him to give a thousand taels of silver tickets to the two girls of the Yan family. Send it, a thousand taels of silver is a lot of money. If something goes wrong, these two poor boys will have trouble sleeping and eating.

During the lunch break, Zhaifu from the Zhengyi Hall sent Wang Heng a letter. The letter was delivered by a fast horse from the official post office. It was stamped with an emergency stamp. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a letter from Wang Yuanyu, the uncle of Mr. Jingli Jifu.

In his uncle's letter, he praised Wang Heng's agility and willingness to take on tasks, and also mentioned Wang Heng's personal accompaniment to Wang Cai several times.

Wang Heng brought this sentence "Guests of Taxue Villa will disembark to Beijing from Zhigu Village." This was a great achievement. Although they did not find out everything in detail and lost the opportunity, they relied on This sentence found the source of the incident and became invincible.

Otherwise, Master Yuanfu will be forced to step down this time.

First, Sun Yang went to the capital and had a pleasant talk with Yuan Fu. He still lived in the former general's residence. He would go to the Guandi Temple on the west side of the general's residence for several days. It is said that Sun Yangxian turned to the Guandi Temple for help when he was in trouble. 's spiritual fortune teller,

On October 25th, Sun Yangxian went to Guandi Temple in casual clothes. As soon as he entered the temple, he was greeted by a middle-aged woman in a white skirt and white coat. Without saying a word, she pulled out a Western firegun and fired three shots in a row. Sun Yangxian He was shot and died on the spot.

The woman sent several confessions that she had prepared long ago to the spectators in the Guandi Temple. She stayed where she was and did not run away. When the officials from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrived, she immediately captured her and asked the officials at the same time. Differential confession.

According to the confession, this woman's name was Feng Xianglan, and she was Tuda of Jinglu Tunbao. She was originally the daughter of Feng Si, the commander of Jinglu Guards.

Feng Si was coerced by Feng San to join the rebellion, and later surrendered to the governor, Censor Liu Gong, and was allowed to surrender.

In order to seek credit, Sun Yangxian, who was the Jinglu Guards General at the time, was suspected of shooting Gui Yibo, who was born in Tuda, with a cold arrow. He also allowed the sergeants to corrupt military discipline and insult the women of Tuda.

Feng Si led his troops to leave without raising a flag to rebel. Sun Yangxian killed him in the wild without authorization, and exposed his body with his head hanging, which was against humanity.

Therefore, Feng Xianglan avenged her father and hid in a palace in the mountains to study for many years.

However, he was still afraid of Sun Yangxian's martial arts skills and numerous followers, so he purchased a new French flintlock gun from a missionary in South Australia and trained for several months to achieve success. Later, he discovered Sun Yangxian's whereabouts and came to seek revenge.

As soon as Feng Xianglan's revenge for her father happened, word spread in the imperial capital. Not only were officials in the imperial court debating endlessly, but teahouses and restaurants also wrote and performed storytelling dramas. Suddenly, people in every village and town were talking about Feng Xianglan.
