I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 573

The group of assassins were frightened by Huzi's arrow at first and dared not stand up, and then they heard Yue Feng and others shouting to kill, and their hearts became even more flustered.

The leader at the head, seeing that he had no chance to kill Zhou Chen, hurriedly greeted everyone,
"Everyone, get out!"

A group of assassins were not dead men at all, and they didn't have the consciousness to kill themselves to become benevolent at all. After giving orders, they ran towards the depths of the jungle one by one desperately.

Seeing the assassins fleeing, the others stopped their pursuit and surrounded Zhou Chen in a huff.

"Humble job, Cangzhou county policeman Zuo Dachong has seen the governor, and the rescue came late, so please forgive him."

Zhou Chen was assassinated several times in less than a day. At this time, he was finally safe, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he hit the ground with his ass.

He waved his hand feebly and said,

"Everyone please hurry up, for the sake of this official, I have tired all the brothers to go to the deep mountains, I should be the one who is ashamed!"

Before his words fell, he heard Yue Feng shout again,

"Huzi, stop chasing, beware of their ambush!"

Yang Huilan also stepped forward and grabbed Huzi's sleeve firmly, crying,
"Huzi, don't go, don't you want your father to die without eyes!"

Huzi's eyes were red, "The ones who forced our father to death have a share, if we don't kill them all, our father will die with peace!"

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, Yang Huilan didn't know how to persuade him, but she just hugged his arm tightly so that he couldn't break free no matter what.

Yue Feng took the opportunity to explain the situation to Zhou Chen.

Only then did Zhou Chen realize that in order to save himself, the old man Yang, whom he had never met before, also died tragically at the foot of the mountain.

He groaned sadly, chasing his chest and stomping his feet,

"How can I be so deserving, so many tired people have sacrificed their lives for this palace. I am ashamed of your Majesty's entrustment, and ashamed of those sacrificed souls!"

The Huzi siblings also seemed to be infected by Zhou Chen's emotions, and they also shed tears.

"My lord, you don't have to be like this. My father used to be a Jin Yiwei. His greatest hope in his life is to be loyal to His Majesty and serve the court! Before he left, the father said to the little girl that it is his honor to die today to protect the lord... ..."

Zhou Chen almost knelt in front of the two siblings, and said with tears in his eyes,

"Duke Yang and all the guards who died today are heroes of Ming Dynasty, and they are role models for the imperial court!"

"I will definitely report to the sage in the future and ask for merit for Duke Yang...a burial..."

Zhou Chen's words immediately shocked the siblings.

These days, when ordinary people see a seventh-rank county magistrate, they will kneel down and bow, and they are extremely respectful.

They may not know how high the governor is, but they heard him say that they can actually offer a reward to the emperor for their father, such an honor that even old man Yang would never have imagined.

Yang Huilan, who is more sensible than Huzi, slammed her head on the ground heavily.
"Father of the Minnv Dai, thank you sir!"

Then she bowed in the direction of the foot of the mountain, and said sadly,
"Father, did you hear that, my lord said that I would ask His Majesty for credit for you. This is a great honor. Father, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs..."

Yang Huzi didn't seem to understand the meaning of glory or not. He just knew that he had lost the father he admired forever, so he followed Yang Huilan and kowtowed down the mountain without saying a word.

As if influenced by the emotions of the siblings, the head catcher Zuo Dachong also knelt down on one knee with a kind of catcher, and said solemnly,
"Brother Yang, you and I met once, but I failed to save your life in time. This is my brother's negligence. Don't worry, I will take care of your children from now on. You You can rest assured."

"Mr. Yang, let's go!"

……

Three days later, Zhou Chen, who was recuperating in the Cangzhou county government office, received a letter from Li Tian.

Li Tian in the letter seemed very angry, scolding the assassin and the mastermind behind it.

Try Zhou Chen not to be hindered by difficulties, but to find out who is doing the tricks.

In the end, the several guards who died, old man Yang and others, as well as the police officers who participated in the rescue from the Cangzhou County Government were rewarded.

This time, Li Tian sent another 200 guards to Zhou Chen, and also arranged for people from Dongchang to accompany him for protection, and gave him a secret decree, allowing Zhou Chen to mobilize no more than [-] guards under special circumstances. People's local army.

In the past few days, the Cangzhou county government has built an exquisite mausoleum for old man Yang near Yang Huilan's home.

On the day of Old Man Yang's burial, all officials from Cangzhou County, big and small, were present, and none of them was left behind.

They dare not not come, the governor's savior, how dare they neglect.

On that day, the long queue of the funeral procession ran across the entire county, and the scene was so grand that those who didn't know the truth thought it was a high official from the imperial court who was buried.

Li Tian made a special decree to posthumously grant the old man Yang the title of Jinyiwei Baihu, and hereditary will not replace him.

Since old man Yang has only one son, Yang Huzi, the position of the hereditary hundred households naturally falls to this 15-year-old boy.

All of a sudden, from an ordinary little doll who can only hunt, he became a hundred households of the sixth rank. Even the county magistrate will salute him respectfully and call him an adult when he sees him in the future. There are no more headhunters and quick catchers.

This huge change in status made Yang Huzi very uncomfortable.

Although he couldn't put it down because of the exquisite official robes bestowed by the imperial court, he still wasn't ready to become an official of the imperial court.

After the funeral, Zhou Chen should continue to go to Nanjing to take office.

Before leaving, he found Yang Huzi, brother and sister, and wanted to ask about their plans.

Yang Huilan originally wanted to stay here, after all, this is their hometown where they have lived for more than ten years, and she was a bit reluctant to leave here.

But Yang Huzi never stopped thinking about avenging his father, and wanted to follow Zhou Chen to Nanjing.

Although he is young, he is not stupid. He knows that those assassins are coming for Zhou Chen. As long as he stays by Zhou Chen's side, which assassins will show up sooner or later.

He also has the opportunity to avenge his father.

Yang Huilan was worried about her younger brother's safety, but she couldn't persuade him, so she politely declined Zuo Dachong's offer to adopt them, and followed Yang Huzi to Nanjing with Zhou Chen.

Before leaving, all the officials of Cangzhou County came to see Zhou Chen off.

Standing by the trestle bridge of the canal, Yang Huilan looked at the large group of officials in front of her, and then at Yang Huzi who was wearing a hundred household official robes, majestic and already somewhat adult, and silently said to her father under the nine springs arrive,
"Father, have you seen that Huzi has become a hundred households, and Mr. Zhou has taken great care of our siblings. We are all fine now, so you can rest assured."
