Chapter 5 Wishing Flowers
Chapter 5: Flower of Congratulations ()
Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixiao left Pengling overnight and found a small river. They took off their clothes and put them in water between two hundred meters away, washed away the bloodstains on their bodies, and then changed into thick clothes prepared in the package, and then they were together.
Afterwards, Tang Xiaofeng carried the tiger's head and Yan Zixiao carried the package. The two of them continued to rush on the road. After most of the day, it was already evening when they arrived at the county town.
Tang Xiaofeng broke directly into the county government office, and several yamen officials held a stick to stop him. One of them stared at him and said, "Where did the kids come from? Go out, go out."
Tang Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Come the county magistrate, we need to reward him."
The man said, "Receive the reward? What reward?"
Tang Xiaofeng said: "The notice outside is clearly written. Whoever can kill the big insects on Pengling can get the silver-billed one? We have already killed the big insects, so ask the county magistrate to give us the bounty."
The officials burst into laughter, and the man shook his head and said, "Don't lie at a young age. The big insect is very powerful. How many people will not succeed in killing it. The prefect has sent someone to Hedong and asked the Yan family in Hedong to send someone to Lingnan to eliminate the tiger. The big insect, probably only the Yan family, who is proficient in swordsmanship, can be eliminated."
Tang Xiaofeng sneered, and was about to speak, but Yan Zixiao said from the side: "What Ying Family Yan Family? Can you compare with the Yan Family in my Ping'an Village? Xiaofeng, show them the tiger head."
Hey, it will be boring. Let them make fun of it first, and then take out the tiger's head. This is how successful the slap in the face is successful.
Tang Xiaofeng shrugged, shook the blanket, and the tiger's head rolled to the ground. The yamen official saw that the tiger's head was covered with golden spots, and his white eyes were angrily open, and he died with his eyes closed. It was clearly the tiger on Pengling. He was shocked and quickly invited the two of them to the backyard, and told them that the county magistrate was investigating the case outside the city and would come back soon, so that they could wait for a while.
Several servants served tea and cakes, but Tang Xiaofeng was not polite and stuffed the pastry into his mouth.
Soon, an elegant girl wearing a golden butterfly robe and a pomegranate red double-breasted and half-armed came over. The girl was much older than Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixiao. She looked at the two children dressed in the farmhouse on the seat and was secretly surprised, thinking: "The evil tiger that many heroes have not been removed will be killed by these two children. Could it be that these two children are swordsman?"
The girl bowed and said, "I don't know what the two heroes call them, and how they killed the evil tiger?"
Yan Zixiao stared at her with her eyes: "Are you a county magistrate?"
The girl smiled and said, "I am not the county magistrate, I am the daughter of the county magistrate. My surname is Zhu and my name is Tiehua."
Yan Zixiao snorted: "Since you are not the county magistrate, why should I answer you?"
Zhu Tehua saw that the girl was pursing her lips and looked cute, so she smiled. She never interfered in her father's affairs before, but this time she heard that the tiger-beating hero who eliminated the murder of the people of Lingnan was actually two children. She was really curious and couldn't help but come and take a look.
Zhu Tiehua has been well-known since childhood, unlike those yamen officials who cannot recognize anyone. Seeing that Yan Zixiao is young and has a heroic spirit in her eyebrows, she did not dare to look down on her. She turned to Tang Xiaofeng and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking: "Isn't this the missing child who the officials of Baixiangqu and Tang Family said half a year ago?"
It turned out that after Tang Xiaofeng ran away from home, her sister Tang Xiaoshan painted his portrait and sent it to the government, hoping that the government would help find it. Tang Xiaoshan was originally the reincarnation of the fairy of Flowers, and learned calligraphy and painting. All of them were all understood at a glance. The portraits she drew were added with cinnabar and green roe, and the painting was vividly painted.
Zhu Tiehua is also good at painting. When he accidentally saw the portrait, he was quite amazed at the painting's brushwork of the painter, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
If it were someone else, even after seeing the portrait, he would have forgotten it for more than half a year. However, Zhu Tehua had the ability to remember everything. At first glance, he immediately matched the boy with the young master of the Tang family in the painting, so he asked carefully: "I wonder what the two heroes are called?"
When Tang Xiaofeng heard the name of the flower, he knew that this was another flower god's reincarnation. More than ten years ago, because he violated the laws of heaven and lost his bet with Chang'e, the fairy of the Hundred Flowers brought the ninety-nine flower gods under his seat to the world and suffered the endless suffering of the sea of evil.
Perhaps it is because the Flower Fairy was born in Lingnan, or it is just a coincidence that there are several reincarnated flower gods around here alone.
When Tang Xiaofeng saw Zhu Tehua asking them the names, he quietly looked at him. He immediately guessed that she probably recognized him, and quickly smiled and said, "My name is Yan Huanghua, she is my sister Yan Zixiao."
When Yan Zixiao saw Tang Xiaofeng pronounced a pseudonym, she saw Zhu Qun dazzled with suspicion. She immediately thought that Tang Xiaofeng had said that he was the "remnant of Li Tang" who was pursued by the government. She couldn't help but regret that she was careless and shouldn't have brought Xiaofeng to the county government. She jumped up quickly, led Tang Xiaofeng and left, and murmured: "Since the county magistrate is not here, why are I wasting so much time for me? Let's go."
Hey, what's the hurry? I haven't received the bounty yet.
Tang Xiaofeng remembered the bounty of 100 taels and did not want to leave. Unfortunately, Yan Zixiao was worried that he would be arrested by the government, so she forced him to leave without saying a word. The yamen officials at the entrance of the mansion saw that they had left the tiger's head, but the person left like this, and they were shocked to look at each other, but it was not easy to stop them.
Zhu Tehua chased her outside the mansion and could not see the two children at once. So she believed even more that "Yan Huanghua" was the young master of the Tang family who ran away from home. However, since they had left, she had no choice but to wait until her father came back and explained the matter clearly. She went back to her house, read some books with the lights, and fell asleep.
Not long after, an angry roar suddenly sounded in the mansion. Zhuge Tiehua was awakened by the roar and sat up in shock. He heard his father's panic screams again. He quickly got up, put on a piece of clothes on the outside of Hezi, and rushed to the front of the yamen. However, he saw his father being stepped on the ground by a tall man in black, and the surrounding yamen officials fell to the ground one after another.
The man in black pointed to the tiger's head on the desk and roared angrily: "Who killed my son?"
The county magistrate Zhu's face was pale and sweated coldly. He was writing a document to report to the prefect for the evil tiger in Pengling. Unexpectedly, the man broke in and kicked him to the ground. Zhu Tehua saw his father in danger, and was shocked and scared, but he did not dare to step forward.
"Who killed my son?" the man in black asked again.
Zhu County Magistrate said in a trembling voice: "I heard they are two children."
The man in black asked coldly: "Whose child is from?"
He glanced at everyone around him, and the cold murderous intent made everyone feel palpitations. A yamen official could not bear this invisible torture and looked pale: "The girl said she was from Yan, Ping'an Village, and the Yan family..."
