Volume 1: The Wind Rises and Peace Chapter 24: This is not the way to the county office
The ancestral tomb of Hijia Village, in front of the tomb of Grandpa.
The servants dug for a long time, but still found nothing.
Mu Cheng pulled Jia Yu to the side and spoke.
"It's all about time, are you still lucky? Honestly, where is the list? ”
Jia Yu was a little confused, he did bury the list in this tomb, could there be any change?
At this time, Jia Yu's most important thing is no longer hopeful, as long as he can survive. And Mu Cheng told him that if he wanted to live, he had to hand over the list.
"Maybe someone else poached it? There are so many tomb robbers these days. Who knows? ”
Although he wanted to live, Jia Yu was still a little arrogant in his heart. He didn't think much of Mu Cheng, Jia Yu had investigated before going to Black Wind Village, and knew that Mu Cheng's official was bought.
As soon as Jia Yu's words fell, he saw an errand officer running over quickly, reporting to Mu Chengyu in a panic.
"Oh no, my lord! Black water oozed from under the coffin, and some of our people began to get dizzy, and everyone was saying that it was because they didn't ask Mr. to choose a good time, and they collided with each other. ”
Mu Cheng and Jia Yu were stupid.
The two of them went to the grave and looked at it, only to see that the tomb was already pitch black, and a viscous black liquid was constantly seeping out of the soil on both sides.
"Go and ask Mr. to come over!"
Mu Cheng was anxious and commanded an errand officer.
The messenger hurriedly ran towards the county seat, and after about an hour, the messenger rode a horse and brought an old Taoist priest with fairy wind bones to the tomb.
Mu Cheng hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Hardship, please ask Mr. to take a look."
The old Taoist priest came to the grave, looked at the situation in the tomb, and then pretended to pinch and calculate, and then spoke.
"Someone must have disturbed the other person, and at least twice. This family was a loyal and honest person during his lifetime, and how can he allow you to be disturbed again and again after death? ”
Mu Cheng was shocked and hurriedly spoke.
"Sir is really a living immortal, I don't know how to deal with it?"
The old Taoist priest looked into the tomb again, and then ordered.
"Prepare two live chickens and a pot of spirits, go back and prepare for the poor road, let's open the altar today, and see if we can let this person dissipate."
After saying that, the old Taoist priest turned back to the messenger who brought him and said.
"Let's go back, I'm going to prepare something."
The messenger glanced at Mu Cheng, only to see Mu Cheng waving his hand at him, and he knew it in his heart. Quickly turned over and rode the old Taoist priest away.
Two hours later, the messenger rode in front of him, followed closely by a two-horse carriage.
Seeing that the carriage had arrived, Mu Cheng greeted him again, and before he could speak, he heard the old Taoist priest speak.
"Adults don't need to say much, this is the practice of opening the altar."
As he spoke, the old Taoist priest walked to the grave with a few Taoist children, placed an offering table there, and then placed live chickens and spirits on the offering table and lit incense burners and candles.
Seeing that the preliminary preparations had been made, the old Taoist priest lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and there were words in his mouth.
The Dao boy beside him listened for a while, and seemed to have received some strange signal. Hurriedly picked up a live chicken from the ground, and quickly slashed the chicken neck with a knife, and blood gushed out in an instant.
The old Taoist priest was wondering, why is the color of the chicken blood black today, did it really collide with something?
But I heard the Taoist boy who killed the chicken come to his side, and muttered in a low voice with a slightly ugly face.
"Master, you've got it."
The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows, and then frowned and whispered.
"Eat less salt in the future, if you eat too much salt, the blood will be black, and it will be easy to be seen."
After that, he continued to recite the words, ignoring the Taoist boy.
When the incense on the offering table burned out, the old Taoist priest picked up the liquor on the table and poured it violently, and then squirted out the liquor. After that, he babbled in a daze.
"I read that you were also an honest man when you were alive, this chicken should be an apology, don't come out to harm people."
As he spoke, he saw the old Taoist priest throw the remaining live chicken on the offering table into the grave that was already dark at this time.
The chicken fluttered a few times, flew straight out, and flew away......
Mu Cheng and the old Taoist priest were stupid.
"What's the situation?"
Mu Cheng asked.
"If the other party doesn't accept it, I can't do anything about it, goodbye!"
The old Taoist priest felt that if he continued to stay, he might be a goof.
Mu Cheng froze in place, a little at a loss.
At this moment, Jia Yu on the side suddenly spoke: "I know a god man with an iron mouth, and you know it too. ”
Although it was cold, Jia Yu still wanted to live, so he simply came up with an idea.
"The iron mouth is broken? Who is so capable, how do I not know? ”
Jia Yu sneered in his heart, can a master be seen by a person like you who is covered in copper smell? But he still spoke.
"Heliansheng, Wang Le!"
"Him?"
Mu Cheng was very surprised, he never thought that the polite person was actually a person with such great ability, but it was right to think about it, if the other party had no ability, how could he be favored by the cabinet.
"Hurry up and ask someone to invite Teacher Wang!"
Mu Cheng seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly commanded the messenger beside him.
At this time, Wang Le was looking at Gao Weiliang worriedly in the cottage, thinking that he didn't know what to say about Ma Han.
Gao Weiliang is about to starve to death, according to the county lieutenant Yu Chao, Gao Weiliang has begun to hallucinate in the back, and he thinks everything is edible and delicious.
Of course, with a tall physique, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to starve to death. The direct reason why Gao Weiliang starved to death was because Ma Han beat Gao Weiliang again.
When Ma Han didn't find his cat, he happened to find a newborn baby turtle by the river. After thinking for a while, Ma Han decided to adopt the turtle as his pet.
After making a decision, Ma Han held the little turtle and wanted to introduce his new pet to the remaining three.
As a result, an unexpected scene happened, Gao Weiliang, who was hungry, looked at the little turtle, snatched it in an instant, and ate the little turtle in one bite, and the bite in his mouth rattled loudly.
How could Ma Han see this kind of picture, without saying a word, he just punched Gao Weiliang a few times. After that, Gao Weiliang was carried back to the cottage by the three of them.
Seeing that Gao Weiliang was out of breath and less in at this time, Wang Le asked Lao Hua worriedly.
"How's he doing?"
Lao Hua shook his head, Wang Le was about to brew some tears, but he heard Lao Hua speak.
"It's okay, I'm asleep. Do you want to wake him up? ”
“……”
County Lieutenant Yu Chao was listening to Teacher Luo Ergou Luo lecture in the classroom of the cottage at this time.
"Today we will win win, what is a win-win situation? Let's say we collect protection money to protect the store from other gangs, and the store gives us money, they get safe, and both parties are happy, which is a win-win ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Yu Chao interject.
"The Great Wei Law stipulates that it is strictly forbidden to collect protection fees, and violators will be given forty rods and exiled for five hundred miles."
After speaking, he nodded around.
Luo Ergou forgot that there was still a legal authority expert from Ping'an County sitting in the audience, and he was in respect of the official, so Luo Ergou hurriedly changed his words.
"Lord Yu is right, as good citizens who abide by the law, we should not use this kind of example. Then let me change the example, for example, our Lord Mu spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a county order from Shangguan......"
Yu Chao's face darkened.
"Da Wei Law strictly prohibits buying. If the official sells the official, the offender will be cut in half......"
"Yes, yes, let's change the example. For example, Lord Yu went to the Qinglou......"
“……“
Yu Chao felt so tired, why was this lame man so unreliable......
……
The people from the Mu Cheng faction soon came to the Black Wind Village, and immediately shouted when they saw Wang Le.
"Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang. Lord Mu, please! “
Wang Le was stunned for a moment, thinking that he just connived at the bandits to fight today, and didn't do anything hurtful, why would the messenger chase him to the cottage to find him?
"I don't know what Lord Mu is looking for Wang?"
The errand officer was obviously very anxious, reined in his horse and said to Wang Le: "Teacher Wang, it's too late to explain, get on the horse quickly......"
"I'm not going to ...... a kindergarten car"
Wang Le muttered casually.
Lao Hua stood aside and saw this situation and persuaded Wang Le.
"I think it's better for you to go, after all, it's the parents in the county who invite you, and you still need to give face. Think about the Amway Plan......"
Lao Hua's words made Wang Le's heart settle.
That's right, I'm still wearing the tiger skin of the cabinet, although this Mu County is stupid, what do you believe, but at this time, it is estimated that it will not harm yourself, after all, I just helped him solve the cult case yesterday.
Thinking of this, Wang Le's heart did not resist anymore, walked in front of the messenger, and said to the officer.
"Pull me, I'll go with you."
When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly dismounted and helped Wang Le onto the horse, and then jumped on the horse himself and walked away......
Yu Chao was listening to the lecture in the classroom, and suddenly heard a familiar voice outside in the Timu County Order, and he didn't even raise the bar, so he hurriedly ran out to see. As a result, I saw an errand officer rushing out of the gate of the cottage with Wang Le......
Yu Chao hurriedly caught up and shouted.
"Take me, take me ......"
But the officer didn't know whether he didn't hear it or ignored it, and he took Wang Le all the way and disappeared into the distance......
……
There was no word all the way, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Le saw the Ping'an County behind him again, and he was inevitably a little panicked.
"Where are you going?"
Hearing this, the messenger hurriedly replied.
"Master Mu said to take you to the cemetery, don't worry, you'll be there soon."
Graveyard?! Wang Le was shocked, could it be that the matter of Amway's plan had been exposed. In order to protect his reputation, Mu County Commander prepared secrets. Execute yourself?
Thinking about it, Wang Le's mind came up with the picture of Mu Cheng holding a big knife and smiling evilly at himself in a mass grave.
"Let me down, let me down, this is not the way to the county government, it is bright in broad daylight, you want to do such a thing?"
Wang Le was startled, sat on the horse and struggled, and began to shout.
The errand officer was stunned by Wang Le, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Wang Le saw the stunned appearance of the messenger, and confirmed his guess in his heart.
This time, the struggle was even more intense.
