Chapter 363: Compassion
"Lord Xia, what's wrong?"
"Oh, poor thing!"
The people around Xia Qing came and went, went and came and went, and one batch changed another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had woken up, but his eyes were still closed, he didn't make a sound or move, all kinds of pain in his body were nothing, and his heart was full of ups and downs, all kinds of tastes, and he was even more ashamed and angry.
These people are concerned on the face, but in fact they are here to see the fun, and he will one day make people treat it like a joke.
What's the solution...... He was really a little scared now, and everyone knew that all the troubles and disasters that were inexplicably just smashed on his head were abnormal.
There are still a few well-wishers in the Ministry of Industry who have been giving him ideas.
"I see that you are really blasphemous and have suffered retribution, why don't you quickly find a spirit master to dispel it?"
"Anyway, you should ask God to let him not remember the villain, so let you go."
"Don't be kidding, we're mortals, if the immortals can listen to us, we still have to find a spirit master...... We've got a ready-made candidate here. ”
“…… Hum. ”
Xia Qing snorted in his nose and gritted his teeth.
"Okay, it seems that you don't want to find someone else's county lord anymore, so I can only work hard to see if there are any good candidates nearby."
Although it is a small place, far away from the capital, it is impossible to have a particularly powerful spirit master, but it must not be difficult to find one or two who have a little ability.
The Ministry of Industry didn't care about serious errands for a long time, and finally found a goddess from a nearby village.
I heard that she is very capable, she has been a goddess for more than 20 years, she can communicate with ghosts and gods, and in the nearby villages, what kind of child is frightened, expelled evil spirits, and worships the dragon god, she has to go out, and there is usually no problem.
The Ministry of Industry respectfully invited people here, and Xia Qing didn't feel a little expected and apprehensive.
It's only been half a day's work, that's the birds flying over to peck him, next to the place where he is working, but there are falling rocks on his head at every turn, a little movement, is a broken tendon, eating a mouthful of food is choked, he has been very careful, disasters are still continuous, and then go on like this, he was not tossed to death, but was scared to death first.
The goddess is also very professional, and when she came to look at it, she directly said that he had indeed offended the gods, and danced a strange dance, and his mouth emitted strange syllables.
"Miss, it's so lively over there."
Everyone on Hongchen's side is too tired to work.
The progress of the project is satisfying.
Recently, everyone saw hope and felt that the possibility of saving the river embankment had increased greatly, so they breathed a sigh of relief and took time to rest.
As soon as Luo Niang handed the cooked mung bean soup to her young lady, she was so frightened by the movement on the other side that she almost fell.
Xiao Yan laughed even more: "It's really interesting, miss, do you think that goddess is okay?" ”
"That's up to her."
Hongchen held the book, read it attentively, and said casually, "But the Buddha here is very generous, not difficult, if you change it elsewhere, dare to destroy his temple, and dare to knock down the Buddha statue at will, it is strange not to kill the culprit, maybe it will implicate future generations." ”
Xiao Yan was also startled when he heard it.
"Will it affect those people to do serious errands?"
"Hmm."
Hongchen looked up indifferently, "Anyway, they need to be adjusted, they don't do things for a day or two, and it saves us a lot of trouble, you can inspect it as a whole, make a plan for me, and then make overall arrangements in a few days." ”
Xiao Yan honestly agreed, and hurriedly notified them to prepare separately.
The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the rain was falling in a trickling stream.
Hongchen didn't hold an umbrella, the wind was strong by the water, and he couldn't hold an umbrella, only wearing a straw hat made by a villager and wearing a robe, but his body was still drenched in water, especially in his shoes, which was extremely heavy to walk.
Everyone was working in the rain, even the farmers didn't dare to rest, the road was muddy, Luo Niang and they were afraid that something would happen, so they found a few young children with high voices and beckoned everyone to be careful along the side of the road.
There is also a safety rope arranged on the shore, even if you accidentally fall, at least there is a protection, so as not to be planted in the river and die.
"Let them buy more medicine, I'm afraid someone is going to get sick."
Hongchen exhaled and wiped the water on his face, "How is Mr. Lin?" ”
"My husband has been on the river embankment for several days, and he hasn't even slept much, and everyone is worried."
Luo Niang's face was also a little worried.
Because the river has been turbulent in recent days, he has encountered three dangerous situations, Lin Xu has been guarding the river, and the whole person can be seen to be more and more haggard.
"He's not in good health." Hongchen sighed.
A while ago, she probably boiled hard, the meat fell out badly, skinny, and she was still thinking about making up for more, but unfortunately she hadn't eaten good things for a few days, and it was so much trouble.
"That's it, anyway, if you can't persuade him, don't bother him, but the food must keep up, you have to think of a way, there are not many big businessmen's connections over there in Guigu, all mobilized, as long as the grain can be transported here, we want everything, it's not okay not to eat enough at the moment, and I see that a lot of fish have been washed up on the shore a few days ago, don't be fishy, take out the fish soup and eat it, eat more."
Luo Niang silently recited in her heart one by one and nodded.
"Don't stop the fire in the kitchen, don't stop the ginger soup, and everyone must drink a bowl every other hour."
Luo Niang also agreed.
In the past few days, many people have indeed been sick, and they dare not let them take them back to recuperate, and they are all quarantined, for fear of the plague.
Fortunately, they were well prepared at the beginning, and Mr. Lin brought a lot of doctors and medicinal materials, and the people's hearts were stable for a while.
"Ahh
Hongchen was still thinking about what else he needed to explain, and there was an exclamation on the other side, and they could hear it clearly through such a heavy rain.
Luo Niang got up and looked, and after a while, a little girl with a gray face came over to report: "County Lord, there is an accident over there, saying that there are many snakes crawling out of the ground when I am working. ”
Hongchen frowned.
After a while, someone came to report again.
And the people on the other side refused to do any more, saying that there were people above who had offended the gods, and now the gods were angry and wanted to punish them.
"County Lord, take a look, what is this like!"
From a distance, at least 100 people were kneeling on the ground, but fortunately, there were some people on the other side, and the people on their side were still stable.
The main thing is that everyone is in a state of mechanical labor, the brain is almost wooden, the work is very smooth, not the brain, of course, nothing happened, and it is not tired, and most of the repair of the river embankment is for themselves, even if they muttered a little in their hearts, they also tightened the work at hand first.
"It's okay, you do yours, it won't affect anything if you stop work first, send a group of people from here over, and do it first according to our plan, as for the manpower, they will be able to return to work soon."
Although there is a shortage of manpower, sometimes, if there are too many people who don't listen to the command and do nonsense, it is actually very chaotic.
The work has stopped over there, and she can arrange it calmly here.
Hongchen was quite calm, but Xia Qing on the other side was restless.
The goddess is useless.
Not only was it useless, but something happened.
It can be seen that the goddess has some Taoism, but before the dance is finished, a big pit suddenly appeared under the soles of her feet, and the whole person fell into half of it, not only that, but she also spit out a mouthful of black blood on the spot and fainted for a long time.
As soon as she woke up, the goddess ran away.
The people from the Ministry of Labor tried to stop her, but the goddess knelt down and was almost incoherent, saying that she didn't dare to take care of this matter anymore, obviously scared enough.
Xia Qing saw that she could only let people send her away, and her condition did not improve at all.
If it was just like this, I would be more ashamed, but not long ago, I actually watched a group of people under my hands stop working, and then listened to those colleagues in the Ministry of Industry with black faces to talk about what happened by the river, what poisonous snakes infested, the repaired river embankment collapsed inexplicably, the tools would be destroyed at any time, the hand was injured by the hammer, the wheels of the cart flew, and all kinds of problems emerged one after another, and finally the big guys no longer dared to do it.
At this moment, he froze, and for a moment, he felt that everyone's eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Woo, I'm sorry for Your Majesty Longen!"
Gritting his teeth, Xia Qing suddenly raised his body and hit a stone next to him, fortunately he was injured and had no strength, and there was someone next to him, so he grabbed him.
"What are you doing here?"
Several colleagues in the Ministry of Industry looked at each other.
"Since I have sinned against God, then let me die, I have died a hundred, woo."
Xia Qing cried.
The Ministry of Industry was dumbfounded, and before they could speak, they heard a pop. Everyone looked back, only to see the lord of Rong'an with two maids, two guards came over generously, standing aside, and one of the maids covered his mouth and snickered.
Xia Qing also looked up, and saw that their faces were dark, and then when she heard Xiao Yan snickering, she was even more angry, her face turned red, and she pointed at her: "You, you ......"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, coughed softly, and was very serious.
In fact, in terms of grade alone, Xiao Yan is higher than Xia Qing, Xia Qing really can't do anything to this female official, at least it can't be said that people are guilty.
Hongchen frowned: "Xiao Yan, don't mess around, it's just that Lord Xia takes himself too seriously, thinking that taking his life can threaten the gods and Buddhas, and it's none of your business." ”
Xia Qing was stunned, and the muscles on his face were distorted.
Xiao Yan didn't see it, and whispered: "I think Master Xia is smart, he is dead, even if the errand given by the Lord of Long Live was not completed, I can't blame him for being a dead man, others raided the family and exterminated the clan, he died when he died alone, and he couldn't be involved in the family anymore." ”
Xia Qing was even more furious, if it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would have already flown up and pounced on this woman to strangle her.
Hongchen patted the girl and sent her to the back, saving her from being angry to death.
The people on the Ministry of Industry also smiled bitterly, and hurriedly played a round game, and persuaded Xia Qing first: "Lord Xia, don't be afraid that other people's words are ugly, you really don't have any responsibility for what you do." ”
Turning his head and begging Hongchen again, "County Lord Niangniang, Lord Xia is also anxious about the errand of Long Live, now you see, is there any way to remedy it, not for Lord Xia himself, but also for the smooth operation of this imperial mission, and for the people of Li not to suffer." ”
It's all said that to this point, Hongchen doesn't take Qiao.
"It's not difficult to do this, Lord Xia destroyed the temple of the Buddha and toppled the Buddha statue, and did something wrong, then let him apologize."
Several officials of the Ministry of Industry sighed.
"We don't know, the big guy has already been there."
They secretly built the temple back, and put the Buddha statue properly, and even burned incense and kowtowed, vowing to reshape the golden body.
As for Xia Qing, he was also afraid, and he was honestly kneeling and kowtowing crookedly when he was carried over.
“…… Can...... I just won't let it go. ”
Xia Qing thought of those, and his face was also decadent.
For this matter, he has suffered a lot in the past two days, he has suffered all the hardships that should be eaten, and he has eaten what he shouldn't eat, he is also a member of the Xia family, and his status is also high, he can be regarded as highly respected, don't care if the official position is not good, but even Xia An, I want to give him some face, but now he has fallen to such a point, where can he not be painful!
"No, we even invited the goddess to ......" What the result is, everyone can see it, the goddess is so frightened that she walks away, and then even the river embankment keeps having problems.
"Probably when you went to ask for it, the gods and Buddhas were napping."
Hongchen smiled and said very easily, "Let's go and see again." After speaking, he commanded everyone to carry Xia Qing and walk towards the broken temple together.
The temple is still a little dilapidated, but after all, it has been re-covered, and it looks better than at the beginning.
The Buddha statue inside has been wiped down, and it is not particularly new, but it is much better than the beginning.
Hongchen was incense, and Xia Qing knelt down and said softly: "I don't apologize yet." ”
Xia Qing closed his mouth, he didn't want to speak, but he didn't know why, when he looked at the woman in front of him, his heart was cold, he couldn't hold it anymore, and tears flowed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Xia Qing who is wrong, you shouldn't have demolished your temple, if you are angry, Xia Qing admits punishment and pleases mercy, let go of the innocent people, don't stop ......"
Hongchen suddenly took out a ring ruler from his sleeve and slapped it on Xia Qing's head, interrupting his words: "Nonsense, my Buddha is compassionate, how can you get along with the people under your rule, you offend too much, people are just small punishments and big commandments, how can you do things that are unfavorable to the people of Li, it is really the heart of a villain." ”
After speaking, regardless of Xia Qing's ignorance, he turned his head and saluted the Buddha statue, "Don't worry, go back and let this bastard reshape your golden body and build the temple, if he dares to offend, don't be polite, just teach a lesson." ”
Hongchen pointed to the people in the Ministry of Works, who were also kneeling on the ground and completely at a loss, "These people are all people who have been ordered by the emperor to repair the river embankment to protect the people, my Buddha is merciful, and I hope to bless everyone with smooth and smooth affairs." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, they pleaded at the beginning, said all the good things, and respectfully and respectfully, but the face of this Buddha statue is extremely cold, so that people dare not look at it directly, but the lord of Rong'an in front of them said a few words casually, and they instantly felt the temperature around them rise, and even the wooden Buddha statue showed a compassionate smile, and it seemed to bow slightly, full of comfort.
Everyone winked at each other, and their eyes showed a little surprise.
It's a one-person feeling, and it can go wrong, but now it's clear that everyone has this strange feeling.
Several people sighed in their hearts, thinking that if they passed by the temple or something in the future, they would not go in to worship, but they should also have respect in their hearts, and they should not be neglected. (To be continued.) )
