    Kings seize the heir¡¿Chapter 14: Trouble

    Zhu Cixuan and Qi Junjia lived in Yangzhou for ten days. On this day, Zhu Cixuan wanted to take a walk and walked north. It happened that Qi Junjia was also leaving Yangzhou, so a few people came out to see the mesmerizing beauty of paradise. Zhu Cixuan  Thinking that if it weren't for the long journey to Beijing and the need to visit other places on the way, he really wanted to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days.

    When Zhu Cixuan and others were immersed in the fun of admiring the scenery, suddenly, a sad sigh came from their ears: "What kind of world is this! Everyone still has a conscience! What's the point of my life?"  Ah! Die early and be reincarnated!" The old voice was like a cuckoo crying for blood, which was unbearable to hear.

    Zhu Cixuan was surprised when he heard such shouts. Everyone else also stopped and looked up, following the sound, and saw an old man in ragged clothes climbing over the railings on the bridge in front of him.  Seeing the old man's face turned bitter, he kicked off his legs and climbed over the railing.

    Zhu Cixuan screamed in his heart. When he came to the bridge, he heard a splash. The old man had already plunged into the water, but he saw a few waves in the river, and he could also see the old man's struggling figure rising and falling in the water.

    At this time of peace and prosperity, something like this had not happened for many years. People gathered around and said, "It's not good! Someone has drowned in the river! Come on, someone can save the person!" I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice.  .  After a while, the bridge was crowded with people. They all crowded on the railings and looked down. Although some people shouted, no one jumped down to save others.

    Zhu Cixuan¡¯s water quality is very good, but it is impossible for him to go down to save people. More and more people are gathering around him.  But no one went to save him. He looked at the water again and found that the old man had floated up for the fourth time and then sank quickly. He knew that if he didn't save him, the old man would definitely not survive. "Lin Zhouxing, you go down."  Get him up!"

    Lin Zhouxing¡¯s water quality is not bad.  But he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, even though the water below was not urgent.  But it was obvious. After hearing Zhu Cixuan's words, he did not dare to hesitate. He took off his shirt, climbed over the railing with his legs and plunged into the water.

    Now he is the bodyguard of King Qin. Although protecting King Qin is the first priority, he has to obey King Qin's orders. Besides, this group of guards was called to appear in front of Long Live Lord Hongguang Emperor that day.  Long live the Lord made it clear that it is true to follow these princes and protect him. It is their task to observe the prince's character and behavior. Their responsibility is not only to protect the prince's safety.

    At this time, the old man sank into the water and disappeared, and Lin Zhouxing who jumped into the water was also nowhere to be seen. There were only blue waves on the water, and Lin Zhouxing's splash suddenly calmed down.

    At this time.  On the bridge and on the shore, many people's eyes were fixed on the water, looking at the place where the rescuer had jumped. People held their breath, and some secretly said it was a pity.  Instead of rescuing someone, he picked up one.  Zhu Cixuan's heartbeat was pounding, and he thought Lin Zhouxing was fine!  Otherwise, it would really be a waste. The old man committed suicide, but Lin Zhouxing jumped into the river to save others after listening to his words.

    Seeing that King Qin Zhu Cixuan was a little nervous, Li Dongsheng smiled slightly and said, "Master, don't worry, Brother Lin has good water skills. Even if he can't save anyone, he will definitely be fine" Li Dongsheng and Lin Zhouxing are old partners.  I know Lin Zhouxing¡¯s water properties very well.  This little water can't stop Lin Zhouxing.

    Li Dongsheng had not yet finished speaking.  I saw the water on the river stir and then turn over. The old man who jumped into the river just now showed his head first, and then lay down on the water. But his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Lin Zhouxing was holding the old man, slowly  After pulling the old man to the shore, people voluntarily made room for an open space and praised Lin Zhouxing for his rescue.

    Lin Zhouxing put the old man on the ground. He was holding in his breath and gasping for air.  Zhu Cixuan saw that the old man's face was pale and had gradually turned green, and his abdomen was swollen. It was obvious that he had drank a lot of muddy soup. Zhu Cixuan remembered that his mother had told him how to save people who fell into the water. When he saw that Lin Zhouxing had rescued people, he had no choice but to let go.  He stood up and handed the folding fan to Zhang Zhong to hold. He came to the old man and pressed hard on the old man's chest and abdomen. He thought that if this trick didn't work, his mother said that he should use artificial respiration. If this was a good-looking woman, it would be better.  Mouth-to-mouth is comfortable, but this old man is already in his seventies, so mouth-to-mouth is really uncomfortable.

    Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan was not asked to give the old man artificial respiration. The old man vomited out a lot of river water due to Zhu Cixuan's torment, and slowly opened his eyes, allowing Zhu Cixuan to take a deep breath.

    Qi Junjia and his wife watched the whole process. When they saw Zhu Cixuan resuscitating the old man, they stepped forward and patted Zhu Cixuan's arm. "My brother is really good at it. Saving someone's life is considered a good deed!" The concubine on the side couldn't help but agree.  After listening to what Qi Junjia and his wife said, Lin Zhouxing and Li Dongsheng exchanged looks and nodded tacitly.

    Although the old man who was rescued was not in danger of life, his expression was a little dull and his eyesightHe was sluggish, and touched the water on his head and body, "Ihave I arrived in the underworld? I have become a water ghost!"

    The onlookers laughed heartily when they saw that the old man regarded this place as the underworld and even complained that he had become a water ghost. They all saw that the old man had not fully understood it. A few good-hearted people shouted, "I  You are an old man who is too confused to commit suicide by drowning yourself in the river, and you still think of the underworld as the underworld."

    "Old man, you just committed suicide by throwing yourself into the river. This group of people saved you. Why don't you thank them quickly?" A fat guy with big ears said while pointing at Zhu Cixuan and others.

    Only then did the old man understand what was going on, and turned to look at Zhu Cixuan and others, "Did you saved me?" Seeing Zhu Cixuan and others nodding, he raised his hand, "Why did you save me? This is killing me.  That won¡¯t work either!¡±

    "The people watching the excitement thought the old man was crazy, or else he was confused by the water. They rescued you in the wrong way. It's really not repaying your kindness!"  But those who were discerning could see that the old man looked miserable, and there was unspeakable resentment and helplessness in his eyes, so he knew that there might be another reason for the matter.

    With a look of despair on his face, the old man sighed helplessly, "I just came to seek death because I couldn't live anymore. You saved me. Aren't you making me suffer twice!" He ran towards the bridge crying while watching.  It looks like he is going to die again.

    Zhu Cixuan saw the old man stumbling and stumbling, and felt a little strange that the old man was rescued and blamed others, but even though he thought so, he still pulled the old man back.  "Old man, why do you want to commit suicide when you are so good? Look at your strong body. How can you still live for ten or eight years? You might as well say, let us listen. If you really have to die and cannot escape, then I will send you there myself.  Go down to the river." In fact, Zhu Cixuan was trying to inspire the old man to survive, but the old man looked like a handful of bones and could die at any time.  Even if he doesn't commit suicide, he probably doesn't have a few days left to live.

    Seeing what Zhu Cixuan said was interesting, the onlookers couldn't help laughing, "Yes! Old man, you might as well tell me why you are seeking death. Anyway, this young master said that he will send you off in a while, so don't rush to report to the King of Hell!"  Talk about it! Talk about it!¡±

    Qi Junjia looked at Zhu Cixuan with a smile.  Knowing that this old man Bai wanted to arouse the old man's anger, he said what was on his mind, "Yes! This old man might as well talk and listen."

    These people knew that the old man could not seek death now. He looked at the people around him and then at Zhu Cixuan and others who had saved him, and started to cry without saying anything.  "Everyone, the old man's name is Li Huachang. There is an old Gaosheng store twenty miles outside Yangzhou City. It was founded by the old man."

    Qi Junjia groaned and looked at each other with his concubine. They both knew that Gaosheng Laodian had stayed there for two nights before coming to Yangzhou!  "Old man, it turns out that Gaosheng Inn was founded by me, and Xiaosheng lived there before. I wonder how I ended up in this situation?"

    Li Huachang heard what Qi Junjia said.  Immediately stamp your feet and beat your chest.  "I think I, Old Man Li, am also a conscientious person. Although the inn is not big, it is managed well, has a good reputation, and the business is booming. But I never thought that good intentions will not be rewarded, and doing good will bring disaster. Now I have no choice but to die.  What are you waiting for!"

    It turned out that Li Huachang was a native of Yangzhou. The couple originally had a son and daughter-in-law. But five years after the granddaughter was born, both his son and daughter-in-law died of a sudden illness. The old couple was left to lead their young granddaughter. Because of their family's financial situation,  Yes, there is no need to worry about livelihood. I just hope that my granddaughter will grow up and find a son-in-law to take care of her parents until they die.

    It just so happened that in the winter five years ago, there was a heavy snowfall. Li Huachang found a man lying in the snow outside the inn, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. He was kind-hearted, so he rescued the man. Unexpectedly, he rescued a man.  She was a woman, and she was no more than twenty years old, and she looked good. The woman who was rescued was naturally grateful and had taken care of herself. Li Huachang gave her ten silver coins and wanted her to return to her place of origin, but the woman said that her place of origin was  She had no relatives and hoped that Li Huachang could take her in. After careful consideration, Li Huachang and his wife agreed. After some time, they found that this woman was very well-behaved, so they recognized her as their adopted daughter. They became a family, and so was their granddaughter.  I have a mother again.

    The woman who was taken in by Li Huachang was really good. A year later, Li Huachang saw that the business was booming and the store was a little busy, so he hired another clerk. This clerk was young, diligent in everything, and had a sharp eye.  Discovering that this guy Wu Dexing was a little affectionate with his goddaughter, and looked a little strange, Li Huachang discussed it with his wife. His granddaughter was only a little over ten years old, and their bodies were getting worse day by day. If this continued, they would not be able to wait until the day they hired a son-in-law.  It would be better to marry the goddaughter and Wu Dexing, which can be regarded as settling a worry. I think the goddaughter and Wu Dexing can also help the two elders. If one day they die, the granddaughter will also have someone to rely on.

    When Li Huachang revealed this to his goddaughter, she was naturally overjoyed, and then told Wu Dexing about WuI was so happy that I couldn't find such a good thing. I got a beautiful wife and such an inn for free, so naturally a hundred people agreed.

    Seeing that both of them agreed, Li Huachang and his wife arranged a marriage and invited neighbors to marry their goddaughter to Wu Dexing. People said that Li Huachang was very lucky. Although his biological son and daughter-in-law were gone, he got his goddaughter again.  Everyone said that Li Huachang was blessed to have such a capable godson-in-law as Wu Dexing.

    I don¡¯t know if the feng shui of the Li Huachang family¡¯s tomb is bad or something else, but the daughter-in-law passed away and returned to the west less than three months after getting married. This made Li Huachang and his wife devastated, and Wu Dexing also cried to death, but she died.  Yes, life has to go on!

    Li Huachang is a sensible person. Wu Dexing is only 25 or 26 years old now. He can't let Wu Dexing lose his incest. He just made it clear to Wu Dexing and asked him to get another wife. Li Huachang will cover all the expenses.  Li Huachang also said that he treated Wu Dexing as his own son and that they would still be part of the same family in the future. Once he died, the family property would still belong to Wu Dexing.

    Wu Dexing thought that this was the case, so he asked a matchmaker to find another daughter-in-law. As the saying goes, if the family has a good wife, the husband will not cause trouble. However, the wife Wu Dexing asked for was not a good wife. This Wu Dexing was really  It gradually turned into immorality.

    The daughter-in-law that Wu Dexing later found was named Diao. She was really cunning. She had found out this about Li Huachang's family in advance. If anything happened, she would whisper in Wu Dexing's ears, saying that now it was just a name and a blood relationship.  None, Li Huachang also has a granddaughter!  I'm afraid you, Wu Dexing, will end up making wedding dresses for others, doing heavy work for nothing. When their granddaughter grows up, you, Wu Dexing, will definitely be kicked out.

    He was not afraid of bad things, but he was afraid of bad people. Wu Dexing had never thought of this. Li Huachang was good to him, but he couldn't stand Diao's instigation for three days or two. In bed, there was always wind blowing beside his pillow. Wu Dexing became obsessed with Diao's thief.  While the inn was being renovated, he asked Li Huachang for the land deed, shop deed and other items. He also made Li Huachang happy and transferred the property to Wu Dexing's name. Li Huachang thought that he had been looking at people for half his life and would not be mistaken.  , who knew that Wu Dexing would change his face as soon as the property was transferred.

    Li Huachang was first kicked out of the main house and driven to live in the lower courtyard. At first, there was no change in his diet, but within a month, even the meals were delivered one after another. This made Li Huachang see the true face of Wu Dexing and his wife.  When he got angry, Wu Dexing came first and kicked Li Huachang out. Poor Li Huachang's wife was angry to death because of this, but his granddaughter was dominated by Wu Dexing because Diao had planned it.  Well, if I raise this girl for another year and a half, I can still earn a fortune!  Duandi is an expert at making money by calculating all the traps!  It's just poor Li Huachang. His good deeds ended up ruining his life's savings. His wife was so angry that he even wanted to sell his granddaughter.
