Chapter 229: The hearts of the people are scattered again
Accumulated overnight.
The next morning, Wang Shouye hurried to Heilong Hutong, but saw that the people were kneeling outside the cordon, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Wang Shouye lifted the curtains, and was about to ask what was going on, when Lu Jingcheng and Zhao Kui on the opposite side had already led a team to meet them, and seven or eight horse whips were thrown around, clearing a smooth road in an instant.
Wang Shouye took the opportunity to call the two to the front, pointed to the people who knelt down and asked, "What are these people doing?" ”
"Whew."
Lu Jingcheng hurriedly said: "I don't know which rumor is spreading, saying that it is that I ate the fish and shrimp of the Dragon King, if I don't come to burn incense and make a wish, I will have sores on my mouth and tongue and rot through my stomach and intestines!" ”
Tut~
The people originally had the intention of believing the ghosts and gods.
In recent months, the rarity has emerged one after another, and this trend has become more and more serious.
In addition, just burning incense and making a vow does not cost much, no wonder as soon as the rumors came out, it provoked so many crazy men and women.
It's still just morning, and I don't know how many people will come after the sun rises.
But after saying that he understood the cause and effect, Wang Shouye lowered his face and scolded: "These foolish men and foolish women come to mess around, do you just watch it?" ”
Lu Jingcheng paused, and muttered a little unconvinced: "They just kowtowed and burned incense from afar, and they didn't collide with our ......."
However, Zhao Kui seemed to be aware of it, bowed forward, and whispered, "My lord, I think there is something wrong." ”
Naturally, it's not right!
After the curse of the black dragon, the theory of luck has been preliminarily verified.
What about the 'willingness' system, which has always been complementary to 'luck'?
Does it also exist, or is it activated?
"If these people are allowed to pray, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?!"
"This ......"
After hearing this analysis, Lu Jingcheng was also vigilant, and hurriedly said: "Then I will immediately order people to disperse these mud legs!" ”
As he spoke, he had to greet the mountain and sea guards who were in charge of guarding not far away.
"Wait."
Wang Shouye hurriedly stopped him and scolded: "If you don't explain things clearly, what's the use of you scattering indiscriminately?" What if they don't burn incense here and run elsewhere to pray? ”
"This ......"
Lu Jingcheng was suddenly stuck.
"So be it."
Wang Shouye pondered and said: "You make a simple and easy-to-understand notice, let people spread it around, just say that the black dragon is an evil demon, and has not been tamed by the imperial court, if you inherit the folk incense sacrifice, it is likely to take the opportunity to backfire and harm the people of this city." ”
"Besides, my mountain and sea prison has its own evil elixir, if there is really a rotten intestine, go to the mountain and sea prison to ask for some elixir."
"I know it!"
Lu Jingcheng agreed, and was about to go to the teahouse where he temporarily settled, asking Lu Tai and others to help write the notice, but he didn't want to just turn his head, and a yellow and clear thing smashed over with his head and face.
Lu Jingcheng has practiced martial arts for a few years, and his head flashed, Cang Changchang pulled out his knife, and roared on the ground: "Who is it, dare to be a street assassin official?!" ”
As soon as the shouting fell, a large area of hula around it suddenly became empty.
Seeing this, Lu Jingcheng hurriedly stabbed his chest again, and shouted: "Don't move, Hugh is gone, the thief ......"
"Don't mess around here."
At this time, Wang Shouye twisted a copper plate and threw it on the back of his head, and scolded angrily: "Hurry up and prepare the notice." ”
Lu Jingcheng ate this smash, subconsciously looked back, only to find that there was a goose-yellow purse lying on the ground, looking at the ornamental appearance, he knew that it must be a woman's personal thing, and his face was flushed for a while, and he raised his foot to stomp on the purse, and then he didn't look back.
Skip this little episode and don't mention it.
But it was said that Wang Shouye rushed to the mouth of the alley, and saw a person sitting paralyzed under the corridor, dying and drowsy, but he desperately stared at his round eyes, and when he looked closely, it was Feng Bao, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor.
Wang Shouye was still waiting to be considered, Ma Gui quietly approached and explained in a low voice: "After you left, a few more died, one of them was scratched to death after falling asleep, and this Feng Gonggong didn't dare to close his eyes all night." ”
Feng Bao heard some movement, his godless eyes moved to Wang Shouye, and then his spirit was shocked, and he got up from the official hat chair.
But then he stopped the momentum, rushed twice and made a look, and then stood up cautiously with the support of the left and right.
This state is not far from being afraid of a night of whiteness.
After Feng Bao got up, he arched his hand at Wang Shouye, wanting to open his mouth, but he endured it again, and turned his head to look at Ma Gui.
"What Father-in-law Feng means is that now there are a shortage of people inside, and I am afraid that the construction period will be delayed, so I hope we can transfer another batch of people to rotate."
Still want to transfer people?
At present, Shanhaiwei has already filled in one-tenth of it.
If we need to increase the number of people, I am afraid that there will be another wave of 'exodus' in the future, and I am afraid that even the punishment of the border towns may not be able to shake the situation.
But......
The emperor's order is not something that can be discounted casually - especially since he himself has already discounted it.
Let's go~
The lesser of two evils, after sending the black dragon to the palace, Shanhaiwei directly demolished and rebuilt, anyway, it was not long after it was established.
"In this case, then the official will call the shots, and another fifty mountain and sea guards will be sent in - but Gonggong Feng must ensure that the construction period will never be delayed!"
When Feng Bao heard this, he solemnly saluted him, and sat back in the chair silently.
Tut~
If there is a similar thing next time, it is estimated that this person must be as far away as he is.
The preparations for the selection of people by lottery were arranged to Zhao Kui and Li Rusong, and Wang Shouye discussed with Ma Gui how to deal with the rhizomes under the belly of the black dragon.
After Wang Shouye returned home yesterday, he also discussed it with Hongyu, and felt that he could pick up the abandoned plan and change it and use it again.
That is: dig a few ravines under the black dragon, put the rope cattle and horses, and then fill the pit in front of the black dragon, leaving only a slight gap.
Then, with the help of cattle and horses, it is pulled out of the ground - even if it can't be pulled out, you can continue to dig as long as you pull the body tilted.
This method is naturally not subtle, but in a hurry, I really can't think of a perfect solution.
But they said that when the plan was properly discussed, the two presided over a batch lottery at the mouth of the alley, and selected 50 people who dared to die.
Seeing Lu Tai take out a stack of raft papers and ask several scribes to help write a suicide note, Wang Shouye suddenly remembered the booklet from yesterday, so he turned it out of the car and stuffed it into Ma Gui's hand with his sleeve.
"The atlas compiled by the East Factory, you can take a look at it first, if you like it."
Ma Gui didn't shy away from others, Dama Jindao took the booklet and flipped through it, and after a while, he scolded loudly: "This Dongchang fanzi is not crazy about money, and he dares to make a price of two hundred taels of silver if he marks the name of a mother and daughter!" ”
"That's the starting price."
Wang Shouye couldn't help but look at what he said was the mother and daughter, raised his chin in the alley, and said helplessly: "There is a famine in this palace, can Gonggong Huang not want to make money?" ”
"Speaking of making money."
Ma Gui closed the roster and said, "There were a few hidden heads and tails last night, and I want to spend a lot of money to buy some dragon roots and dragon blood to go back." ”
Some people are really worried about it!
Wang Shouye hurriedly reminded: "Don't dare to come nonsense!" Whether there is a problem with those things, no one dares to guarantee it now, if it is scattered among the people and causes any trouble, our brothers can't afford to bear it. ”
"Don't worry, I said this to remind you, don't let the people below take advantage of the loophole."
Ma Gui looked at the daredevils who were queuing up to write a suicide note, and sighed helplessly: "It's so easy for us to boost our morale, these hundred and ten daredevils will be selected by lottery, I'm afraid that people's hearts will float again." ”
When Wang Shouye thought of this, he also had a headache.
He drove ducks to the shelves, and he didn't want to charge forward in everything, so he really couldn't think of any way to make the mountain and sea guards willing to die.
Speaking of being willing to die......
How did Qi Jiajun get it?
How many officials is Qi Jiguang now?
Why don't you just ask for an order to transfer him to lead the troops?
