Chapter 120: The Matter Here Is over, and We Bid Farewell to Weishui (End of This Volume, Two in One)
Where have the vegetable vendors ever seen such a scene?
They were so scared that they pissed and pissed and reported to the authorities.
Soon, Lin Yi came with his men.
Zhao Rusong and Yang Qingfeng, who were drinking morning porridge in the county government, also came.
Originally, the death in Weishui was not their responsibility.
But when they heard that the person who died was You Jingkang, the head of the Department of Qi, who was listed as a criminal and had already escaped, the two had to come.
At the city gate, in the wind and snow.
The corpse of the once arrogant head of the Department of Qi was kneeling in the wind and snow.
Without hands and feet, and without a head, it looked like a pig, and was placed in a prostrate posture.
And the head stared at everyone, with its eyes wide open.
It was full of a strange sense of ritual.
Even Yang Qingfeng, who had already cultivated Qi and entered the Tao, shuddered when he saw You Jingkang's appearance.
But seeing the county magistrate and many constables beside him all had expressions of "Oh, I knew it" and "I'm used to it", he blinked.
What?
Are the people of Weishui so tough?
After asking, he found out that this was probably done by the head-cutting ghost.
It is said that all the guys in Weishui who could not be dealt with by the law were eliminated one by one by him.
Head-cutting ghost?
Head-cutting ghost again?
In Yang Qingfeng's mind, he once again remembered the ghost-faced figure who angrily cut off the two-headed black-scaled python monster.
He took a breath of cold air.
The head-cutting ghost who saved dozens of Dafeng villagers from Shekou, and the head-cutting ghost in front of him whose means were cruel and chilling.
Which one is the real him?
Or, both of them?
On the other side, many clerks and coroners have already started to follow the procedures.
- Autopsy, collect the body, and go home.
Then add another item to the wanted order of the head-cutting ghost.
There will be nothing to do.
But everyone also knows that this so-called wanted order is just a fig leaf for the government.
As for the real matter of catching the head ghost, no one is going to do it.
Otherwise, regardless of whether he can be caught or not, the people of Weishui can drown him with just a mouthful of spit from each person.
Later, after the government came to collect the body, the death of the once high and mighty Wangqisi was also spread by the mouths of those vegetable vendors.
At noon, the whole Weishui was shaking.
The head of the Wangsi!
Dead!
The head of the Wangsi who framed Yu Tiesheng fifteen years ago and bullied the people in various ways for fifteen years is dead!
On this day, the people of Weishui ran around to tell each other, cheered and beat drums!
Those who didn't know thought it was the New Year!
It was different from the celebration in the city.
On the Qingfeng Mausoleum.
Yu Chen burned incense and candles, offered knife heads and strong liquor, sat in front of his parents, and didn't say a word.
Quietly wait for the money and paper to burn out, and for the incense and candles to burn out, then get up and leave.
The corpse mover Niu Zhu came up again.
After the body was buried, the ghost followed the golden road of reincarnation and walked into the underworld, and there was no trace.
——The reincarnation road of Weishui has been revealed.
At the same time, this also means that the territory of Weishui no longer needs Yu Chen to save the dead - this is the introduction to restarting the reincarnation road. Now that the reincarnation road is revealed, the dead of Weishui naturally don't need to be saved.
"It's time to go." Yu Chen looked at the messy cemetery and spoke softly.
"What are you mumbling about?"
After Niu Zhu left, the voice of his predecessor Ji Qiu sounded. The other party looked very happy and clamored!
"Oh right, grave keeper! Double happiness!"
"Were you not exempted from the status of a criminal yesterday? This is the first happiness."
"There is also a second happiness! Guess?"
"Hey! Didn't you expect it? The head of Wangsi, who framed your father, is dead!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's so miserable!"
"His hands and feet are broken, there is a big hole in his stomach, and his head is cut off!"
"Your parents can finally rest in peace!"
His mouth is like a string of cannonballs, muttering non-stop.
But as he spoke, when he looked at the grave of Yu Tiesheng and his wife, the eyes of this sturdy man were wet.
He wiped his tears and grinned again, "By the way, gravekeeper, you are no longer a criminal, and you don't have to stay in this broken place anymore. What do you want to do? Tell me! There is no job that we can't arrange for you in Weishui!"
"Well, let's think about it... Do you want to study? Practice martial arts? Or do some small business..."
"Old Ji, I want to go." Yu Chen sighed and spoke softly.
Ji Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Where to go."
"Let's go to... the state capital first." Yu Chen pondered.
——If there was no "Du Ren Jing", the current situation would have been the best ending.
Enemies were executed, grievances were washed away, and Yu Chen lived a peaceful life.
But after having "Du Ren Jing", Yu Chen helped many dead people and gained some skills.
He wanted to go out and see, to help more dead people, and to have greater skills.
Ji Qiu was stunned for a moment, then patted his chest, "No problem! We'll talk about that later! Let's take you to a good meal first!"
Yu Chen: "......?"
Another good meal?
"This time it's the county magistrate's treat, let's give him a good meal!" Ji Qiu laughed and pulled Yu Chen down the mountain.
Chunfeng Restaurant.
The county magistrate held a banquet to entertain many officials from Weishui, as well as the provincial inspector.
Although Zhao Rusong was upright, he was not so inflexible, so he went with them.
Chunfeng Restaurant, second floor, private room.
There were six people at a table, namely the county magistrate, Ji Qiu, Lin Yi, Zhao Rusong, Yang Qingfeng, and Yu Chen, who seemed to be unable to fit in.
As soon as everyone sat down, the county magistrate spoke to Yu Chen and told him everything about the past.
At the end, he raised a glass and apologized to Yu Chen, saying that he was useless, that he had not been able to defeat You Jingkang fifteen years ago, that he had not been able to protect Yu Chen's parents, and that he had also made Yu Chen waste a lot of time on the grave.
Yu Chen was quite open-minded after hearing this.
Looking at this fat county magistrate, although he did not say it openly, Yu Chen, as a headless ghost, still knew that all along, although this county magistrate could not help him openly, he had done a lot of work in private.
It was his intention to let Ji Qiu be the corpse mover and arrange him to protect him.
Hearing that Yu Chen did not blame him, Yu Tiesheng's former boss was relieved, as if he had gotten rid of a worry, and smiled.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
Ji Qiu casually mentioned that Yu Chen had the idea of going to the prefecture.
And the upright Zhao Rusong was also full of pity for the child of the wrongly accused policeman and his wife.
He immediately agreed and asked Yu Chen to come to the gate of the county government three days later in the morning and return to the prefecture with the team of the prefectural inspector.
At the end, the county magistrate was drunk and asked Zhao Rusong to take care of Yu Chen more when he was in the prefecture.
And Zhao Rusong also said frankly that the matter of Yu Tiesheng and his wife was a misjudgment of the court and the dereliction of duty of their prefectural inspection department - it was because they did not find out that You Jingkang was guilty of a heinous crime earlier, otherwise there would not be such a tragedy fifteen years ago.
So in order to make up for Yu Chen, he would arrange a job for Yu Chen that he wanted to do within his ability and without bending the law for personal gain.
Five people, ten eyes, stared at Yu Chen.
Ji Qiu and Lin Yi winked at each other, thinking that the provincial governor had said so, it would not be a problem for you to ask for a job that paid more and did less work.
Yu Chen thought about it and uttered two words.
"——Watching graves."
Immediately, everyone was stunned.
What, you are obsessed with the dead and graves in this life?
The meal lasted more than an hour.
Everyone dispersed.
Yu Chen returned to Qingfeng Mausoleum and packed up his things.
But in fact, there was nothing to pack, and he didn't plan to take away a few tattered clothes.
There was still more than 100 taels of silver that Xie Qing had sent before, and 30,000 taels from Li Canghai, which he put in his arms. It was enough for Yu Chen's daily expenses for a lifetime.
After hastily preparing, Yu Chen took advantage of the few days in Weishui to go down the mountain and walk around the city.
The widow tofu business in Hanqiao was booming;
The son of the old shoemaker also took on his father's job. Although he was not rich, he could at least support his family;
Li Er, the butcher at the market entrance, changed his previous arrogance and greeted everyone with a smile. When neighbors had problems, he would take the initiative to help;
Wang Hai's wife and children's shop was taken care of by the Zhengqing Gang, and no one dared to bully them;
After the death of Mr. Wang, the Tianqiao Wang family took over the power, and the huge family business was running steadily...
In short, after the Black Water Gang was gone, there were fewer evil things in Weishui.
The big and small gangs in the south of the city were also deterred by the Zhengqing Gang and did not dare to do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth.
The small county town that was once tormented by the head of the Wangqi Division and the Black Water Gang finally became peaceful and calm.
One night.
In the south of the city, the Zhengqing Gang.
Xie Qing stood in front of the window, looking at the south of the city under the night sky, and suddenly felt heroic!
Who would have thought that in just a few months, the Black Water Gang, the mortal enemy, collapsed.
The six heads and core gang members died, and the remaining small minions also hurriedly left the Black Water.
In the south of the city today, there is no trace of the former behemoth.
Similarly, the south of the city today is the Zhengqing Gang of Xie Qing, who has the final say.
But Xie Qing did not get carried away by this.
He knew very well that for the Zhengqing Gang, all this was like pie in the sky!
It was almost obtained out of thin air.
And the source of everything was the predecessor who was admired and feared by countless people.
——The head-removing ghost.
For that predecessor, Xie Qing had only endless gratitude and admiration.
Almost by himself, he changed the whole city.
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed in Xie Qing's ears.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the familiar ghost-faced figure standing in the room.
He immediately bowed respectfully, "Senior, I'm just looking casually."
"You did a good job," Yu Chen nodded: "Since the south of the city is under your control, the behavior of those Jianghu people has become much more disciplined."
"It's all thanks to the senior." Xie Qing waved his hands repeatedly.
"I hope it will always be like this in the future." Yu Chen raised his head: "I'm leaving, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Weishui in the future, so you have to restrain these bloody Jianghu people and don't let them oppress the people-if there is any difficulty, you can go to the police station to find Ji Qiu, he still owes me a favor."
After hearing this, Xie Qing was shocked, but he still nodded repeatedly: "Senior, don't worry! As long as Xie Qing is still there... No! As long as the Zhengqing Gang is still there, the Chengnan Gang in Weishui will never bully the market!"
Yu Chen nodded with satisfaction, "I hope so."
Finally, when he was about to walk out the door, he turned around and said, "If one day you become Li Canghai and the Zhengqing Gang becomes the Blackwater Gang, I will come back."
The last sentence is not threatening, it seems to be simply stating a fact.
But it was like a brand, deeply ingrained into the heart of the underworld leader.
It's like swearing.
"--good."
Don't dare to look up.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Xie Qing stood up slowly, and there was no one in the room.
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.
early morning.
Zhao Rusong and his party stood at the gate of the city together with Yu Chen.
Behind them were the county magistrate, Ji Qiu, and Lin Yi who were seeing them off.
This fat man with a big belly, a strong man, was like an old mother, nagging and telling Yu Chen what to pay attention to when he arrived at the state capital.
At the end, he also stuffed a package into Yu Chen, which made a jingling sound, like the sound of silver coins clashing.
Yu Chen couldn't resist them, so he had no choice but to accept it.
In addition, he quietly told Ji Qiu that there were some things he had not taken away from his residence in Qingfeng Mausoleum, and asked him and the county magistrate to keep them all as a souvenir.
Finally, the moment of farewell will come.
Yu Chen took one last look at the small county town standing still in the wind and snow, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the carriage without looking back.
Farewell, Weishui.
Zhao Rusong left, and so did Yu Chen.
Ji Qiu's heart felt empty.
I don’t know if it’s because the fifteen-year feud is over, or because the son of an old friend has left.
It always feels like nothing has happened suddenly.
A day passed in confusion.
At dusk, he remembered that Yu Chen said he left something on Qingfeng Mausoleum.
He went up the mountain all night and pushed open the earthen house.
I found that in the small and cramped room, apart from some leftover materials for paper making, there was also a long cloth bag on the bed.
Ji Qiu picked it up.
Very heavy.
Very hard.
Also very cold.
Open the cloth bag and take a look.
Two copper maces shone coldly in the dark night.
At that moment, Ji Qiu was stunned.
He was all too familiar with this pair of copper maces.
Fifteen years ago, he had competed countless times with the owner of this pair of bronze maces!
This is... Yu Tiesheng's trump card!
But why... did it appear in Yu Chen's house?
——Ji Qiu has always known about the whereabouts of the copper mace.
After the unjust case fifteen years ago, this pair of copper weapons had been tossed around for a long time, and finally fell into the hands of Li Canghai, the leader of the Blackwater Gang. At the same time, Ji Qiu had thought about it countless times in the past fifteen years. He took it back, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he could only forcefully suppress the impulse in his heart.
Later, the Beheaded Ghost destroyed the Blackwater Gang and killed Li Canghai.
Ji Qiu arrived at the scene immediately to look for his old friend's relics.
But I searched all over and couldn't find it.
He could only think that it was probably taken away by the head-picking ghost.
But today, when I saw it, these pair of copper maces actually appeared in Yu Chen's house!
At that moment, Ji Qiu felt her mouth was dry and her whole body was shaking!
An almost absurd conclusion emerged in his mind.
——Yu Chen... is the head-picking ghost?
