Chapter 122 The Mystery of the Hanging King

Even if this matter is exposed, only my mother is still a little unwilling. Wu Chen finally comforted her, and suddenly remembered that he still owes his mother a pair of bracelets. Street, I swear by it, but once I got there, I forgot about it, and I haven't bought it yet.

He blamed himself in his heart, so he quickly changed the subject and talked about the fight in the town, which brought back a lot of memories for the adults.Everyone chatted about the history of weapon fighting in this village. On a certain day of the year, they fought with that village, and the casualties were like this;

Many things Wu Chen had never experienced before, and he listened with great interest at the moment, until after eleven o'clock at night, the little girl fell asleep in his aunt's arms, and the uncle and aunt left. Clicked.

Wu Chen hurriedly took a few cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and some snacks for them from his luggage. Uncle was not too polite, these were all taken for granted, but the ones who pushed around were unfamiliar, and they lived not far away. It was just in the front row. After a few steps, I didn't even bother to turn on the flashlight, so I went back by the moonlight.

Only now did Wu Chen have time. After taking a shower, he went back to the room his mother had just tidied up for him. It was a tiring day, so he turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

I don't know why, it's not the harvest season yet, but the smell of straw is everywhere, smelling this familiar smell, Wu Chen gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Wu Chen was still asleep when he was woken up by the noise from outside.

People in the country get up early, and as soon as the sky is dawn, people have already gone to the ground, greeting each other, and the villagers all have loud voices. When they meet face to face, they all roar and talk. , Suddenly there was a sound.

For a slacker like Wu Chen, this is really a painful thing. Fortunately, my parents know that he has a habit of getting up late, so after cooking breakfast, they don't ask him to get up to eat, and let him wake up and sleep I slept until after ten o'clock before getting up.

After Wu Chen drank the porridge, he called Lin Zhen again. After a while, after finishing his work, he saw his mother and aunt coming back from shopping for lunch. This was to give him a formal reception. In the afternoon According to my father's arrangement, I went to relatives' houses one by one to sit for a while.

The country people are enthusiastic. After knowing that he came back, in the past two days, relatives or friends from childhood came to sit and chat one after another. Everyone drank tea and chatted, and talked about the past in the country. Time passed very quickly.

Sometimes, looking at these partners who went down the river to fish for shrimps and went up to the mountains to catch snakes when they were young, they are now a little cautious and speak politely. Wu Chen also feels a little sad. Time is really a ruthless knife. He changed people's appearance, and even changed people's psychology. He has completely understood Mr. Lu * Xun's emotion when he wrote "Run Tu".

Because of this feeling, in the next few days, he seldom went out to walk around the streets, and played with little girls at home. A little girl of this age is the most gratifying, and Wu Chen played a lot with her. Childish game, time slipped away unconsciously.

It wasn't until this day that Da Ya called, that Wu Chen realized that he had been back for several days and hadn't visited him yet.

"Hey, I said wood! You can't do this!" Da Ya was very dissatisfied with the lesson on the phone when he heard Wu Chen talk about the situation these days, "The early bird catches the worm! Ji Yuchen! If you don’t drive the car over and let your buddies show off, it’s fine! Since you are busy with serious business, how do you know that you are dead at home? Didn’t you say to go to the archives to check the information? What? Can you do nothing all day long? Brothers are waiting for the rice to cook!"

"Damn it! Don't tell me I really forgot, I'll go in the afternoon! I'll pick you up then, don't run around." Wu Chen's life as a fairy these days really feels like a timeless life in the mountains.

"Hey, why don't you say that the authorities are obsessed with it! Work still needs the supervision of the people!" Da Ya said triumphantly on the phone, and then changed the subject, "As for this afternoon, I won't go, I haven't been back for a long time , so busy!"

"No, I said what are you busy with?" Wu Chen was sweating. He hadn't seen anyone for a few days. He wanted to put them in the town. After returning home every year, the two were basically inseparable. This time In the countryside, I didn't even see a single person.

"Hey, there are too many! No, brother, I have to play mahjong again in the afternoon. I can't help it. It's all a game of relatives. Why don't you put some water in it! I said that my buddy got rich, but no one believed it! Who said that there is no evidence in hand? If you want to say, it’s all your fault, you can’t see anyone even after driving the car away!” Da Ya said on the phone, half lamenting, half proudly, “But, it’s okay , These days, my buddies have been constantly defending against guns, and these grandchildren are so full that they are almost called masters, can you believe it?"

Wu Chen was drinking water and was choked. The "those grandchildren" in Da Ya's mouth should be his uncle and second uncle or something. If his father heard this, he would have to slap his two front teeth off!

"That's it, the glorious task of checking files is entrusted to you! This represents the trust of the country and the people in you! You can do it, I am optimistic about you! Dude, don't say much, don't call me on the phone if you have nothing to do Ah! Hahaha..." Da Ya laughed and hung up the phone, so as not to hear Wu Chen scolding his mother here.

Careless in making friends!Wu Chen endured it, got off the speeding car and passed Bianren's heart. After lunch and a little sleep, he drove to the county seat, picked up Du Qin, and the two went straight to the county archives.

In fact, the school has been on vacation for a long time. Because Du Qin secretly opened a small cram school with someone outside the school to earn some extra money, he stayed in the school all the time.During this period of time, I was also a little bored. I happened to have no class, so I followed Wu Chen to the archives.

The County Archives is located opposite the Red Star Cinema. This is the old town of the county. It is full of buildings with the style of the Republic of China. However, it has been dilapidated over the years. Walking on the street is a bit gloomy!

However, this archives is another temple-style building. After entering the building signboard at the gate, there is a narrow and winding path leading to the lobby and patio inside.

Wu Chen yelled as he walked, there was only one administrator in the archives, named Lao Luo, who knew Wu Chen well, Wu Chen lived here for a while in high school, the two of them, one big and one small, got on well .

Hearing the roar, Lao Luo came out and took a look, and quickly recognized Wu Chen. Although we hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years, Wu Chen's appearance hadn't changed much, but Lao Luo had become a little older.

He had heard that Wu Chen was working in the provincial government, so he hurriedly called the leader when they met, which made Wu Chen stunned for a long time.

"Fucking leader! Come on, take it." Wu Chen knew it, and couldn't explain to him that he was not a shitty leader, so he just didn't bother to talk shit about this issue, and just threw two good cigarettes at him!Immediately, Lao Luo was so happy that he smiled, smoking is one thing, but face is important, this kid can do it, don't forget his roots!

In a corner of the hall, there was a dilapidated little table, and the three of them made tea for a while and chatted about the situation. When Lao Luo heard that Wu Chen wanted to check the county chronicles, he threw the key to him and let him do it himself. Go, anyway, those things haven't been touched for more than ten years.

According to Wu Chen and Da Ya's earlier speculation, this map should have something to do with Wen Tianxiang's organization of rebel troops in the Chaoshan area to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

In their minds, they listened to stories told by old people when they were young. At that time, the leader of the rebel army who was active in the Funan area in the east of the province should be King Chen Diao, so they focused on checking the information about King Chen Diao on the Internet, and never thought about it. Confused, this Chen Diaowang is very strange. During the activity period, it lasted for hundreds of years, and the locations are spread all over the Chaoshan land, and there are cottages everywhere!

Da Ya said at that time, this buddy is quite capable of tossing around!From the angry youth to the elderly, where did such a lot of energy come from!Wu Chen also had nothing to say. After a little calculation, this guy's lifespan must be at least 150 years old!However, he didn't dare to conclude that there was no such thing because of this. You must know that during that period, there were indeed several extremely long-lived people, such as Zhang Sanfeng who was also known as a "living fairy".

When he came back this time, Wu Chen wanted to figure out the trajectory of King Chen Diao's activities in the local area. He was afraid that word of mouth might be wrong, so he thought of the county annals.

When Wu Chen lived here before, he also saw the local county annals. The thick pile of old books, in addition to the revised full version during the Republic of China, there are also some older fragments, which are extremely rare. It can only be said that it is lucky that these "feudal dross" can still be preserved after that era of exhaustion!

After two days of sorting out, Wu Chen gradually sorted out the context, and according to his layers of cocoons, it turned out that in this history, there were two people, Chen Diaoyan and Chen Diaowang!This is really never heard of.

In Shixian's articles about Chen Diaoyan and Chen Diaowang, such as historical events, historical sites, legends, and sayings, and even in the newly revised annals and cultural relics, the above two people are mixed into one person. .

But according to Wu Chen's textual research, these two guys are not the same person. Chen Diaoyan's original name was Chen Daju, and he was mainly active in the early Yuan Dynasty. Chen Diaowang's original name was Chen Sui, and he was active in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Because the two people have the same surname, nickname, and native place, and the main time of their activities is similar, people will be confused; of course, this cannot be blamed on folk legends. Both brothers are from Zhangzhou, Funan, and they are all closely related to the history of Chaozhou. However, there are few or no official historical materials, and local chronicles are recorded very briefly. It is indeed difficult to sort out the clues.

This discovery made Wu Chen very excited, and immediately informed Da Ya of the result, but he was thrown a basin of cold water by this guy.After Da Ya finished listening, he said with disdain on the phone: "I said, Mu Mu, we have to keep a clear head at all times. Now we are not going to write a thesis. Don't make so many fake things. You can just go straight to the topic." ...Touch! Wait, I want green hair!"

"..." Wu Chen looked at Du Qin, feeling very speechless, hung up the phone, and went to the historical materials with all his heart.But Da Ya was right, the first step in the Long March, now that the characters were identified, Wu Chen focused his energy on Chen Diaoyan at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

Relatively speaking, there are still many historical materials about Chen Diaoyan. Leaving aside the "Yuan Shi", the "Dictionary of Chinese Names? Historical Figures Volume" has a special introduction, and there are also concise and appropriate records in the local county annals.
