Chapter 147 Hidden Fragrance

Zhao Zhenglun said carefully, "Just now, this deputy regimental leader Lai came to the small people's stable, which made the stable shine. Xiaomin dared to invite Mr. Zhou to visit the main hall of the cold house, which also made Xiaomin's main hall shine once.

"Well, it's getting late. I'm afraid it's not convenient." Zhou Charter declined.

"Zhou Zongbing, the ancestors of the small people lived in this Yizhou city and also accumulated some family property. This soldier is in chaos, and the family is not safe. Fortunately, Zhou General Bing led Zhang Jun to Yizhou to protect the people's peace, so that the people of Yizhou can live a stable life for a few days. The people of Yizhou are very grateful to General Zhou. Xiaomin is also doing a little on behalf of the people of Yizhou. I hope General Zhou will allow him to allow him.

Zhao Zhenglun's words are sincere, and Zhou Charter is not easy to brush his kindness. Moreover, Zhou Charter serves as the general of Yizhou, even the parent officer of Yizhou, and should also sit down with the gentry of Yizhou's people to have a good talk about the following customs of Yizhou.

"It's okay." Zhou Charter said, "Yao Xi followed me to Mr. Zhao's house and the others went back to the camp."

"Yes!" Everyone saluted and left the doorway.

Zhao Zhenglun led the way, and Zhou Charter and Yao Xi followed Zhao Zhenglun into the gate.

The door building of the Zhao family is not tall. In the blink of an eye, it is no different from the houses of ordinary people in North Korea. However, when he entered the gatehouse, Zhou Charter found that Zhao Zhenglun was quite powerful.

Although Zhao's house is not tall, it is actually a three-entry house. From the gate building to the innermost main hall, after passing through the three house doors, each door is not very grand, but it is extremely exquisitely built. The door of the house is covered with green tiles, and the wing rooms on both sides are also full of pink walls and green tiles, which are staggered. The eaves are decorated with Korean-specific cyan patterns and auspicious beasts.

North Korea is poor and weak, and Yizhou is a remote small city. Most of the houses in the city are low earth-walled grass houses. Zhou Charter was greatly surprised that the house of the Zhao family was ten times more exquisite than the residence he rented for Yuan Shikai! When looking for a house for Yuan Shikai, he actually looked away and didn't find the house.

After three house doors, I came to the main hall. The decorations in the main hall are also very exquisite. The wall is carved with window grids, which are very elegant, and there is a table of exquisite carved yellow pears and eight immortals in the center.

On the pink wall facing the gate, there is a pair of ink landscape hanging. In the painting is a vast white snow scene, an old pine, a bay stream under the pine, and a man in a rafters fishing under the old pine.

In the upper right corner of the painting is a line of Chinese characters - fishing alone in the cold river snow.

The lower left corner is also a line of Chinese characters - Jia Shennian Yujun.

Zhou Charter was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhao, is this word 'Yujun' Mr. Jin Yujun?"

Zhao Zhenglun sighed, "Exactly." With that, he knelt down to the ground.

Zhou Charter hurriedly held Zhao Zhenglun's arm and said, "Mr. Zhao, my Zhangjun is not kneeling."

Zhao Zhenglun knelt down and couldn't stand it: "Mr. Zhou went deep into the tiger's den and took back Mr. Jin's remains from the Japanese. Everyone knows the North Koreans. My worship is to thank Mr. Zhou on behalf of the Korean people!"

Zhou Charter had no choice but to accept Zhao Zhenglun's kneeling.

Zhou Charter helped Zhao Zhenglun and asked, "Does Mr. Zhao know Mr. Jin Yujun?"

Zhao Zhenglun laughed and said, "It's a long story. Zhou Zongbing, please sit down and let's talk about it slowly."

The three sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and an old family made tea for the three and retreated.

Zhao Zhenglun then said, "Mr. Jin is elegant and far away. Xiaomin is just a businessman. He usually goes back and forth, and his whole body smells like copper. How dares to climb Mr. Jin? It's just a coincidence. Two years ago, Xiaomin went to Jiuliancheng to buy some tea and planned to transport it to Pyongyang for sale. Passing by Donglin Waterfall, he met a man who was stabbed, covered with blood and was dying. Xiaomin was kind-hearted for a moment and gave him some western medicine to stop the bleeding, but the man was too seriously injured and gasped for half an hour. It's dead. Before he died, he stuffed this painting into Xiaomin's hands.

"This is Mr. Jin Yujun's painting!" Zhou Charter said, "That man must be a member of the Kaihua Party!"

"Not bad!" Zhao Zhenglun said, "Xiaomin was shocked when he got this painting and saw that it was Jin Yujun's painting. At that time, Mr. Jin fled to Japan, and the court arrested the Kaihua Party members everywhere and killed them. Whoever took in the Kaihua Party members would commit the same crime as the Kaihua Party! This Kaihua party must be hunted down by the imperial court and died here. At that time, I was so scared that I was afraid that the officers and soldiers would suddenly appear and throw away the painting and run away, but I couldn't run.

"You are probably scared to pee in your pants!" Yao Xi scolded. He used to pee in his pants, always thinking that others would pee in his pants just like him.

"Master Yao laughed." Zhao Zhenglun said, "I didn't wet my pants. It was the man who pulled my trousers with his last breath, pointed to the east of Donglin Waterfall and said 'please'. I just swallowed my breath. In fact, we all sympathize with the Kaihua Party. The reason why we avoid them is that we are afraid of the army. The man didn't let me go when he was dying. There must be a major secret. I also had a surge of blood for a moment. Anyway, there was no one around, so I picked up the painting, walked in the direction he pointed, crossed a forest, came to a cliff, looked up and took a breath.

"Is it gold and silver treasure?" Yao Xi became interested. He heard that the Kaihua party gathered some treasures and prepared to overthrow the court. Zhao Zhenglun is obviously very rich, and it is very likely that he took the treasure of the Kaihua Party.

"No!" Zhao Zhenglun said, "It's two people, two women, one in his thirties, fainted to death under the cliff. A 13- or 14-year-old girl, was very handsome and cried on the woman!"

Zhou Charter was dizzy for a while. He seemed to see the small hotel in Jiulian City. Two women sobb helplessly among a group of domineering troops.

"Jin Shu!" Zhou Charter muttered, with a pain in his chest.

"Zhou Zongbing is right. The fainted woman is Jin Yujun's wife Liu Ying, and the girl is Jin Shu, Mr. Jin's daughter." Zhao Zhenglun said, "Later, I learned that after Mr. Jin fled to Japan, the court arrested the mother and daughter of the Jin family everywhere. In order to protect them, the Kaihua party members wanted to escort them to the Qing Dynasty. Along the way, the officials and soldiers chased and intercepted them, and the Kaihua party members who escorted them were seriously dead and injured. Originally, there was originally more than 20 people. When they arrived in Yizhou, there was only one left. It's human. The one who died by the waterfall. They were forced into the inner fetal peak by the officers and soldiers, and the food was cut off. Liu Ying fainted with hunger. The Kaihua party man risked his life down the mountain in order to find food. As a result, he was found by the officers and soldiers, cut into serious injuries, and finally died by the waterfall.

"Poor!" Yao Xi burst into tears.

Zhao Zhenglun sighed, "Yes, I saw that their mother and daughter were pitiful, and I didn't care about any officers or soldiers. At that moment, I threw away all the goods and took them back to Yizhou City, one of my outer houses, which was relatively hidden. After a few days, Mrs. Liu's body gradually recovered. I felt that it was not a matter to let them stay in Yizhou all the time. I bought 5,000 taels of silver, bought the officers and soldiers at the mouth of the Yalu River and sent them across the river. They are safe when they arrive at the boundary of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Charter stood up and knelt down to Zhao Zhenglun.

Zhao Zhenglun trembled with fear: "Zhou Zongbing, why is this..."

Zhou Charter kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Zhenglun: "I thank Mr. Zhao for saving my life for my wife Jin Shu!"

Zhao Zhenglun asked, "Is Jin Shu your wife? Are you Mr. Jin Yujun's son-in-law?

Zhou Charter stood up with tears in his eyes: "I don't have that blessing. Jin Shu is the eternal wife in my heart!"

Yao Xi also burst into tears: "Mr. Zhao, our general and Jin Shu are already separated by yin and yang." Yao Xi told the story of Liu Ying and Jin Shu's death.

There was a rustling rain outside the window, and an autumn rain quietly soaked Yizhou City.

The wet autumn wind blew into the window door, the candlelight swayed, and the bamboo hats on the painting seemed to tremble in the cold wind.

The room was surprisingly quiet, and the three of them sat silently for a long time.

Zhou Charter muttered:

"When I threw a stone into the water, there was a slight light in my heart.

The west moon of Yuntan Lake, the smoke behind the mountains and mountains.

I have two lilies and want to cut new clothes.

Close to the water and to the far shore, the red palms hold the clear lotus..."

Zhao Zhenglun shook his head and sighed:

"Once you release the canoe, take three thousand wind roads.

Lazy to grow far away, the moon falls and the willows are cold.

The tide rose to Qiantang, and the snow surged to block the Blue Pass.

Culgar songs and distant guests, don't let go of the village wine..."

Zhou Charter:

"The old moss will return to the new moss.

I suddenly recalled the fifth update of the rain, and I returned it today.

It can't be returned today, and Xiaozhou has sent Youlan.

Can you hide the fragrance in your sleeves and send it to your temples?
