Chapter 157 The Soul Returns to Hometown (5)

Ban Xiyu felt so guilty, she only hoped to save Hui Jiangdu's life: "As long as your injury is healed, don't say a single thing, we can help you with any number of things."

Jiang Du smiled.He thanked him, and then took out a well-preserved cloth bag from his arms.The cloth bag is a little old, because it has been hidden and preserved for a long time, leaving many deep creases on the surface.

"This is..." Wen Jisheng opened the cloth bag and took out an old letter from it.He didn't quite understand what Jiang Du meant: "A letter?"

Jiang Du coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, took a few quick breaths, and said again: "This letter is a handwritten letter from my best friend Ying Zhao before he died. The friend once said in his heart that there are ambitious people in the court who intend to Subvert the Great Xuan Dynasty’s guidelines.”

"Ying Zhao?" Ban Xiyu heard the name, and found it very familiar: "But Mr. Ying who won the top prize in the new department last year?"

"No, that's right, it's him." Jiang Du paused for a moment, he seemed to have gained some strength, and said:
"He and I are good friends from the same hometown, but I am not as talented as him. He is just a Jinshi. We agreed that after I took office, I would look for an opportunity to return to my hometown..."

But he didn't expect that not only did he fail to take office, but even Ying Zhao also died in a foreign land.

"He was transferred earlier than me. He was highly valued by the Holy One. Not long after high school, he was sent to the border between Xuan and Rong to take charge of the local people's livelihood." Jiang Du said:
"But later, I don't know, I don't know why, what happened, I asked my lord, my lord, I wanted to ask my lord, to thoroughly investigate the matter of forming a party for personal gain between the officials at the border. But there was no follow-up to this case... and soon after that, my lord was still in the He died suddenly in a guest house at the border... Cough, cough..."

Ban Xiyu looked at his face and couldn't bear it: "Stop talking, just bear with it, we'll go find a doctor right away!"

"No, no—" Jiang Du desperately grabbed Ban Xiyu's sleeve with his last breath.He opened his eyes wide, and his dark pupils reflected eager desire:
"This letter was sent to me by a good friend the night before his death. This matter is of great importance. You, you must report it to the capital. Please, ask your majesty to thoroughly investigate the cause of Zhaohui's death!"

After saying these words, Jiang Du seemed to be drained of all his strength.He stiffened and his arms dropped.He fell to the ground on his back, staring blankly at the sky, and finally closed his eyes slowly.

Wen Jisheng stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and finally let out a long and helpless sigh: "...I'm out of breath."

Ban Xiyu lowered her head and looked away.She bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to cry out.

She thought of the scene of Jiang Du teaching in Xiaoyunzhai Academy not long ago, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Jiang Du was supposed to be a good official pleading for the people, but fate tricked him, and he failed to realize his ideal. Even if he became a teacher, he died in a foreign country in the end.

Ban Xiyu recalled Jiang Du's determination when he blocked the arrow for her, and felt both hatred and sadness in his heart.

She said: "We must seek justice for Jiang Du!"

"When I led people into Xiaoyunzhai just now, I sent out a signal to contact County Magistrate Chen. County Magistrate Chen got the news, and immediately led troops to attack." Wen Jisheng said:
"Now that County Magistrate Chen's men and horses have surrounded Xiaoyun Village, none of those who should be punished can escape."

Ban Xiyu said: "The thieves in Xiaoyun Village deserve death, but the people in Ke's Village should not be let go either." She said:
"The men in black who held me hostage last night came from Kejiazhai. Now, they are a nest of snakes and rats, and they have colluded to deal with the county magistrate Chen and the officers and soldiers of various towns.

"I speculate that they have already taken action to fight with the magistrate Chen's men. Therefore, it is not enough to punish Xiaoyun Village, but they also need to take down Kejia Village."

Wen Jisheng said: "You don't have to worry about this. County magistrate Chen is very ambitious. When he was planning to capture Xiaoyun Village, he planned to get rid of the bandits around Anning Town. , so that you can make a great contribution.

"So he had already prepared, and sent people to various cottages to ambush him before."

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu calmed down a little.

She wiped away her tears, looked at Jiang Du's body again, and said, "Jiang Du saved my life, he died unjustly, and he should be buried properly after death."

Ban Xiyu wanted to arrange Jiangdu's funeral first, so she borrowed Wen Jisheng's Wujin umbrella to stand up.But before she could stand still, she suddenly felt her eyes darken.

While the world was shaking and upside down, she didn't seem to hear any sound.

Before losing consciousness, she seemed to hear Wen Jisheng calling her anxiously, and after that, she passed out and didn't know anything.

*
Ban Xiyu felt like she had had a long dream, but she couldn't remember what she had dreamed after waking up.She opened her eyes and found that she was no longer under Xiaoyunzhai Mountain, but in a strange room.

There is a fresh and clean fragrance of flowers and fruits in the room, and there is also a faint fragrance of tea.

The light in the room was dim, only a little light came through the blue screen window.At the same time, she also heard voices coming from outside.

Ban Xiyu got out of bed and lit the candle, only then did he realize that he seemed to be in a certain inn room.It's just that she is the only one here, and there is no trace of Ji Sheng.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pulled open, and then, Wen Ji came in.

Wen Jisheng's eyes lit up when he saw Ban Xiyu.He said: "You are awake. If you don't wake up again, I will call the doctor over and ask him to diagnose your pulse again."

Ban Xiyu remembered that she seemed to be in a coma, so she asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"You just woke up, and your body is still a little weak, just sit and rest for a while." Wen Jisheng helped her to sit down at the table, and explained:

"The doctor said that you suddenly fell into a coma because you hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, you were suddenly frightened, you felt great pain in your heart, and you were overworked."

Wen Jisheng poured Ban Xiyu a cup of hot tea and said, "The doctor said it's not a serious problem, just take a good rest and recuperate."

Ban Xiyu nodded and said, "I see, thank you very much."

She lowered her head and carefully sipped her tea, and then remembered something: "Then what about Jiang Du's body? Where is it placed now?"

At that time, Ban Xiyu suddenly fell into a coma, which really shocked Wen Jisheng.He carefully inspected Ban Xiyu's injuries, seeing that most of them were scratches and some bruises, and there was no blood, so he was slightly relieved.

But he was still worried that she had hidden wounds or internal injuries, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly brought her and Jiang Du to Anning Town, stayed in an inn, and invited a doctor to check her pulse.

Fortunately, Ban Xiyu's injury was not serious, and the reason why he fell into a coma was also due to his deep pain and exhaustion both physically and mentally.

Wen Jisheng said: "I have settled down Jiang Du's body. I bought a coffin and stored it in the house in the backyard first. When you are well, we will send him to bury."
