Chapter 1018: The head of the city is mighty
Chu Huan looked at Ma Shenpo with interest and asked, "You said you have evidence?" ”
"Yes......!" Ma Shenpo hurriedly said: "They asked me to frame the Governor, I didn't agree at first, but they assured me that my lord ...... My lord, you don't have any foundation in Xiguan, don't be afraid of you, if something really happens, they will support me. And they gave ...... in advance He gave me a hundred taels of silver, and the money is still in my hand...... ”
When Chu Huan heard this, he was a little disappointed, "Your evidence is silver?" ”
"They gave me the money." Ma Shenpo seemed to have found a life-saving straw, "My lord, I told you where the silver was stored, and when you found the silver, the silver was handed over to me by Lord Dong, and they also said that as long as everyone believes that the governor is a plague god, and you will be driven out of Xiguan, and ...... will give me two hundred taels of silver afterwards!" ”
Dong Shizhen sighed and said, "Lord Governor, this old witch seems to be crazy, she knows that death is coming, but she is still deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between you and Xiaguan, and Xiaguan now thinks that she is really very likely to be instructed by others...... Yes, Xia Guan heard that the disciples of the Daoists were pervasive that day, and the demons confused the public, although there was no trace of the disciples of the Tianmen Daoists under Xiguan, but the Xia Guan thought that those demon disciples had already flowed into our Xiguan ......! ”
Chu Huan let out an "oh" and asked, "Does Lord Dong think that this Horse Goddess may be a disciple of the Heavenly Sect?" ”
"She pretends to be a ghost on weekdays and bewitches the people, and now she is provoking the relationship between the lower officials and the adults......!" Dong Shizhen looked thoughtful, "It is said that in addition to bewitching the people, Tianmen Dao's favorite trick is to provoke internal friction in the government, and this horse goddess may not be a disciple of Tianmen Dao!" ”
Ma Shenpo immediately screamed, "I'm not...... I'm not a disciple of the Heavenly Sect......! ”
Many people in the city can hear the shouts of Ma Shenpo, at this time many people have already understood that Chu Huan was a plague god before, it was completely framed, this Ma Shenpo seems to be instructed by someone, and many people who used to admire Ma Shenpo are even more angry at this time, they thought that Ma Shenpo really has magical powers, but seeing Ma Shenpo's current appearance, it is completely a charlatan's face, so many years of worshipping such an old liar, and even regard her as an omnipotent master, which makes everyone's hearts very angry.
"Lady Ma, what marks are there on the silver you said?" Chu Huan asked lightly: "You said that the silver was sent to you by Lord Dong, what evidence is there to prove it?" Could it be that the name of Lord Dong is written on those silvers, or is there any mark to prove that it is Lord Dong? ”
Ma Shenpo was speechless.
Dong Shizhen laughed and said: "A market liar, he is here to talk nonsense, Lord Governor, you must not let go of such a person." ”
Chu Huan sighed and asked, "Goddess Ma, do you admit that you have already lost your bet with Bendu?" ”
The horse goddess turned pale and trembled.
"Originally, according to the gambling agreement, you would jump from this city now." Chu Huan sighed: "But this governor has just arrived, although you deserve it, but doing so is inevitably too brutal...... Ben asks you, do you want to live? ”
Hearing Chu Huan say this, Ma Shenpo seemed to have a glimmer of life, "poof" knelt down, and begged: "Ask the lord to be merciful, take my life, I don't dare to ...... anymore!" ”
Chu Huan said: "It's very simple to spare your life, you first tell the people in the city, what is going on with your so-called divine snake leading the way?" ”
Ma Shenpo was stunned for a moment, and Xuanyuan Shengcai next to her said coldly: "Don't say it soon!" ”
Ma Shenpo got up, went to the edge of the battlements, leaned over and poked her head out, and said loudly, "I...... I don't have supernatural powers, actually...... In fact, I lied to you, and the snake led the way...... The serpent leading the way is also fake! ”
Someone in the city immediately asked, "We saw that the serpent leading the way, will it listen to you?" It is a snake, and even if it is obedient, how can it understand human speech? ”
"There is a dish called snake bamboo cabbage, which is the only herbaceous taste that snakes like." In order to save her life at this time, Ma Shenpo no longer dared to pretend to be a ghost, "My snake, I have trained to like that kind of taste, to let the snake lead the way, as long as the road is sprinkled with the juice of the snake bamboo vegetables in advance, the smell of snake bamboo vegetables, we don't care, it is difficult to smell, but the snakes are the most familiar with the taste of snake bamboo vegetables...... ”
As soon as she said this, the people in the city suddenly realized, and some people already shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, there is such a thing as snake bamboo vegetables, it turns out that this old witch uses snake bamboo vegetables!" ”
Ma Shenpo's body was still trembling, glanced at Chu Huan, and saw that Chu Huan was just looking at herself lightly, so she could only continue: "The night before I went to the Governor's Palace, I had a carriage hired, and the floor of the carriage was opened, from the temple to the front of the Governor's Palace, all the way the carriage sprinkled vegetable juice on the ground, at that time it was very late, and the vegetable juice fell on the stone slab on the street, it was difficult to see, and by the next morning, the vegetable juice was dry, but the smell was still there, the snake liked the taste of snake bamboo vegetables the most, as long as it smelled this smell, it would ...... You'll go along with the taste......! ”
"You old witch, you deserve death, you have deceived us for so many years, you have not ...... a good death!"
"Old witch, let's still offer you incense, it turns out that you are lying to us, everyone beats this old witch to death, ......!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the Governor didn't have a large number ......of people and didn't bother with us, we would have been imprisoned by you!"
"Lord Governor, kill this old witch, kill this old witch ......!"
The crowd in the city was excited, and when everyone found out that the goddess they had been worshiping turned out to be such an old liar, and so many people were deceived by an old woman, you can imagine how angry everyone was.
Chu Huan stood at the head of the city, raised his hands, and the crowd's voices gradually became quieter, and when everyone was silent, Chu Huan said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this governor came here today, in front of everyone, to expose the deception of the horse goddess, not just to target such a small goddess, yes, the horse goddess bewitched the crowd and deceived everyone, she deserves to die, but I ask everyone, is it wrong for everyone?" ”
People looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
"Let me have a word of conscience, Ma Shenpo is wrong, and everyone is also wrong." Chu Huan said: "Mrs. Ma is just a little liar, it is not worth mentioning, but she can mix well in Shuoquan, even the government has to build a temple for him, and many people have to worship her as a god, I believe that he can really talk to the gods, everyone knows that besieging the yamen of the Governor's Mansion is undoubtedly a rebellion, but it is such a goddess, but she can trick hundreds of people to besiege the Governor's Mansion, all fathers and villagers, everyone ask yourself, this is just the fault of the Goddess alone?" ”
The people fell silent.
"We respect God, we respect our ancestors, and we have to keep a pious heart." Chu Huan's voice was not very loud, but he was full of anger, and his voice came down from the city, "But this does not mean that those crooked nonsense can also confuse our minds, and we can't follow the crowd and become a tool for others to use." In the past, the goddess could use everyone to besiege the Governor's Palace, so in the future, if someone lies and uses everyone to rebel, will everyone also be bewitched? ”
"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that although Xiguan has experienced disasters, as long as the people are still there, they will not collapse." Chu Huan put his hands on the battlements, "I hope we can work together to rebuild our homeland, although this process is still very difficult, and we still have to encounter a lot of trouble, but we hold a belief in the revitalization of Xiguan, and we will definitely be able to build our homeland rich and peaceful." I know very well that I am a newcomer, with a very shallow foundation and a very young age, and many people will doubt that I can really lead everyone out of the trough, and to tell you the truth, I did not think that I could really do anything, I could really get the support of everyone and get out of the situation together, but I will do my best to do what I should do. After a pause, he glanced at the crowd, suddenly frowned, and his expression was stunned for a moment, but this expression was fleeting, his eyes were removed, and he continued: "Some people may want me to leave here, I will make it clear here today, some people with ulterior intentions, want to be yin and yang behind the governor, the governor will never have the slightest fear, since the governor dares to come to Xiguan, he is not afraid that someone will stumble on the governor, if he wants the governor to leave Xiguan, there is only one possibility, that is, the people here think that I Chu Huan is not worthy of being the governor of Xiguan, When the people here are scolding me Chu Huan, scolding me for being a faint official, and scolding me for being a mediocre official, even if everyone doesn't drive me away, I don't have the cheekiness to continue to stay......! ”
People looked at Chu Huan at the head of the city, and no one could have imagined that the governor, who was the official of the feudal territory, would say such things so frankly.
"Today, I won't let Ma Shenpo jump, but the death penalty can be avoided, the living sin is unforgivable, and she can't stay in Shuoquan anymore, and she will be expelled from Shuoquan today." Chu Huan's expression was stern, "The matter of Ma Shenpo, give me and everyone a warning, some gossips confuse people with other intentions, we must not be gullible, bewitching the people, spreading rumors, is the thing that this governor hates the most." I will try my best to take everyone to eat and clothe warm, but at the same time I am also here to tell you that the governor will never have the slightest softness for those demagogues, you fathers and fellow villagers may know that the imperial court is in the southeast to conquer the Tianmen Road, the governor has made an oath, the Tianmen Road demagoguery, poison the people, the governor will kill the Tianmen, so, in the territory of Xiguan, but where there are incitement to the people's hearts and rumors to confuse the public, the governor will not be soft, I heard that the Tianmen Road is pervasive, but in the territory of Xiguan, the governor will never allow their existence, there is one, Kill one, show a pair, kill a pair...... Today, the Governor has also set up a rule here, in the future, if there is a fallacy to confuse the public, the first person to report it will be rewarded if the investigation is true, but if there are other people with malicious intentions who think that the Governor is telling jokes here, he will make trouble in Xiguan Road......! He formed a fist with his right hand, and slammed a punch on the battlements, the sound of Kerala sounded, the stones of the battlements were actually broken, and the gravel and stone chips fell from the city, Chu Huan's eyes were extremely cold, "Then just give it a try!" ”
