When Dong Shizhen heard Chu Huan say this, his expression was embarrassed, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "What are you talking about, my lord, that Ma Shenwei...... It's just the market, my lord...... The dignity of the adult is not the ...... that those who can compare with you! ”

Chu Huan sighed: "Lord Dong, you know better than this governor, this governor's prestige in this Xiguan is not even as good as the ...... you said in the market!" Pretending to be puzzled, he said: "Master Dong, did this Ma Shenpo often lead people to block the official yamen before?" ”

Dong Shizhen was stunned, shook his head and said, "This...... This wasn't the case before, but in fact...... Actually, this goddess is not a bad person......! ”

"Bento's luck seems to be bad." Chu Huan sighed: "It has only been a few days since the governor arrived in Shuoquan, and this horse goddess dared to gather a crowd to block in front of the governor's yamen, Lord Dong, you said that if the governor had someone arrest her at that time, would it cause a big mess?" A little market goddess, gathered in front of the yamen of the governor's mansion, this goddess's courage is really ......! ”

Dong Shizhen's expression became more and more embarrassed, at this time, more and more people gathered in the city, a large area of black pressure, crowded, noisy, suddenly saw the crowd dispersed, the crowded crowd, separated a road, Xuanyuan Shengcai, who was observing the wall in the city, had already turned around and said: "My lord, people are coming!" ”

Chu Huan walked over with his hands behind his back, looking down from the city, only to see a team of people coming this way, in front of him were several guards warriors opening the way, and in the middle was the horse goddess, the horse goddess was still dressed in that strange way, behind her, two stretchers were carried, and behind them were more than a dozen men.

The people on both sides were talking, and the guards warriors brought the horse goddess to the city, and the horse goddess was brought to Chu Huan's side, but when he saw that Qiu Ruxue had come up from behind, he arched his hand and said, "My lord, the goddess has been brought." ”

Chu Huan nodded, but Qiu Ruxue had already turned around and said, "I haven't come here to ask for guilt!" ”

A person immediately stepped forward from behind him, but it was Zhu Qingye, the leader of the gangsters who was very famous in Shuoquan City, who immediately knelt down at Chu Huan's feet, and said respectfully: "Little Zhu Qingye, please meet the Governor, last time the villain had no eyes, and offended the adult, I came to ask the adult for sin, and please ask the adult to surrender!" ”

Chu Huan said lightly: "Zhu Qingye, this governor knows that you have some power in Shuoquan City, and I also know that you are not doing your job, you led people to follow Ma Shenpo to trespass into the yamen of the governor's mansion, do you know that this is a capital crime?" ”

Zhu Aoba lowered his head, "The villain is guilty!" ”

Chu Huan glanced at Qiu Ruxue and said: "But Qiu Ruxue said to Ben Du about you, although you have done a lot of measures, but you are also a righteous man, it is not a big evil, your sins, this Du will not punish you for the time being, but it will not be exempted from your sins, it depends on your performance in the future, whether you can atone for your sins!" ”

Zhu Qingye raised his head and said: "Lord Governor, the villain's life was given by Brother Qiu, and Brother Qiu asked the little one to hand over this life to you, from today on, this life is the Governor's, the Governor has an order, and the little one will go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

The corners of Dong Shizhen's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Zhu Qingye, who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes crossed the cold color, but at this moment, he didn't dare to say a word.

Qiu Ruxue said at this time: "Lord Governor, after the Lady Ma returns to the temple, I am afraid that she will sneak away knowing that she will be defeated, and I am even more afraid that there will be other unexpected ......!" He glanced at Dong Shizhen, "So I've been staring at her for the past two days...... In the past two days, she tried to go out several times, but we stopped her, and some people wanted to go to the temple to find her, but when they saw us over there, they turned around and left, and in the past three days, she has not been able to contact anyone......! ”

Chu Huan nodded, glanced at Ma Shenpo, then walked to the side of the city, raised his hand, and signaled the people under the city to calm down, and the people under the city saw Chu Huan standing at the head of the city in an official robe, and his voice suddenly gradually became smaller, in fact, many people in Shuoquan had never seen their new governor, and they were very surprised to see that the head of the city was a young official at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are here today, and the Governor knows what you are for." Chu Huan said loudly: "Do you all know this horse goddess?" After speaking, he signaled Qiu Ruxue to push Ma Shenpo to the edge of the city, Ma Shenpo did not have the expression of pretending to be a ghost last time, her face was like ashes, and when she walked to the edge of the city, the eyes of the people were on Ma Shenpo, Chu Huan smiled faintly, and said: "Fellow villagers, you may all know that Xiguan has recently suffered from the sky, and the epidemic has begun to spread, just outside the city, an epidemic area has been set up, and the governor asks everyone, are there any of your relatives in the epidemic area?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people in the city suddenly showed sadness, and many people showed panic, and some people asked loudly: "Your Excellency, the epidemic is getting worse day by day, what should we do?" There are more and more infected people outside the city, and we heard that the epidemic situation in Xiguan Prefecture is getting worse, although there is no epidemic in the city for the time being, but the epidemic is spreading, and it is impossible for this Shuoquan City to avoid ......! ”

"Yes, my lord, Shuoquan's current food, drink and life have to be transported from other places." Then someone shouted to the city: "If there is a plague everywhere outside the city, who can guarantee that the plague will not come from outside?" ”

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Everyone is right, the plague epidemic, natural disasters**, we naturally have to do everything we can to deal with it." Pointing to the Ma Shenpo beside him, "Many of you should know that this Ma Shenpo claims to be able to figure out with the gods, according to her, the spread of the plague in Xiguan is because of the appearance of the plague god, she said that the plague god has come to Xiguan, and there will be such a disaster......!" ”

Immediately someone under the city shouted, "Who is the plague god?" ”

"Find out the plague god and find a Taoist priest to drive the plague god out!"

"Actually, the plague god that this horse goddess is talking about is Bendu." Chu Huan smiled bitterly and pointed to his nose, "According to her meaning, it was the governor who came to Xiguan to cause this plague to appear." ”

People immediately looked at each other, although many people knew that the Governor and Ma Shenpo seemed to have a gambling contract, but not everyone knew what they were betting on.

Many of the people gathered here today just came to watch the excitement.

"That's not for sure." A voice came from the crowd: "Speaking of which, the plague has spread recently, and it seems that the Governor has only recently come to ...... post!" ”

The crowd was crowded, and the sound was so loud that many people heard it, but for a while they didn't know who said it.

Chu Huan smiled slightly, and said: "Ben Du and Ma Shen Po made a bet, who is the plague god, in fact, it is easy to distinguish, the plague god will only bring plague, bring disaster, not happiness, I don't know if Ben Du is right?" After speaking, he looked at Dong Shizhen beside him.

Dong Shizhen nodded hurriedly and said, "What the adults said is very true, the plague god...... The plague god is an evil god that only brings disaster. ”

"Then it's very simple, if Bendu can deal with the plague, he won't be a plague god, I don't know, right?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since the goddess Ma is a goddess, she can talk to the gods, and they all say that God has the virtue of a good life, Xiguan first suffered from the disaster of war, and now it is suffering from the plague, God sees such a scene, how can he not save the people from fire and water?" With sharp eyes, she looked at the horse goddess, "Can you communicate with the gods, and the gods will naturally teach you how to deal with the plague?" ”

Ma Shenpo's body was already trembling unnaturally, "I...... This is the great calamity, the gods...... The gods can't ...... either Can't cope with ......! ”

Chu Huan laughed and said, "According to what you say, if this governor can deal with the plague, wouldn't it be even more powerful than the gods?" ”

Ma Shenpo knew that things were not good today, so she glanced at the crowd under the city, gritted her teeth, looked at Chu Huan and said, "You...... You are the plague god, and you can't help it...... There is no way to deal with the plague ......! ”

Chu Huan put his hands behind his back, glanced at everyone, and finally said: "Father, fellow villagers, this governor came to Xiguan to take up his post by the will of the Holy Lord, and there is no other reason, that is, to ensure the safety of the people and let you live a good life." I can't guarantee how capable I am, but I will do everything I can to protect you...... Ben Du knows that many people think that Ma Shenpo has some doorways and thinks that she can communicate with the gods, so many people believe in her, but Ben Du wants to tell you today that this Ma Shenpo is just a trickster who is swindling and deceiving, she can't talk to the gods at all, everything is just her deceiving the world. ”

"You can't say that about a goddess." Immediately, someone in the city shouted, "The goddess has magical powers, and the government cannot blaspheme her." ”

Immediately a small crowd shouted.

After everyone calmed down, Chu Huan said: "She said that the gods have no way to deal with the plague in Xiguan, which proves that she is a liar, in fact...... Ben Du received a dream from the gods, and knew from the gods that this horse goddess was the plague god, and the gods taught Ben Du how to deal with the plague ......! ”

Everyone in the city suddenly had different expressions, some surprised, some suspicious, and some disdainful.

Although there is no plague spreading in Shuoquan City for the time being, but there is a lot of news from outside the city, many people know that the plague that broke out this time is very powerful, as long as it is infected with the plague, it is almost doomed to death, before Chu Huan arrived, there was already an epidemic around Shuoquan, Dong Shizhen also dealt with this kind of thing in a timely manner, and immediately ordered a strict inspection of the people entering the city, and set up an epidemic area outside the city, but there were infected people, immediately sent to the epidemic area.

In addition, the government naturally has to organize local doctors to study ways to deal with the epidemic, but in the face of this plague, countless doctors can only sigh, helpless, the government officials have not relaxed the search, but anyone who searches for symptoms of the epidemic, even if it is not infected, will be sent to the epidemic area, the plague has been a catastrophe that makes the people of Xiguan look bad, more panicked than those murderous bandits who burn and loot everywhere.

Many family members in the city have been sent to the epidemic area, and everyone knows in their hearts that once they enter the epidemic area, there is no difference between being sent to the execution ground, and sooner or later they will die.

Not only ordinary people, but also some doctors' family members, also showed symptoms of the epidemic and were sent to the epidemic area, people have despaired, only feel that this is a once-in-a-century catastrophe in Xiguan, there is no way to return to heaven, many people who have just returned to their hometowns after the war, are ready to leave their hometowns again, to avoid this disaster, but in the past two days, news came from outside, Tianshan and Beishan have set up checkpoints at the junction, in order to prevent the plague from spreading to the local area, these two have closed the road of the outflow of the people of Xiguan.

At this time, Chu Huan claimed that the gods had told him the way to deal with the plague, and everyone was surprised, some were surprised, but more people felt that Chu Huan was talking big.
