Ma Xiangu asked, "What kind of supernatural power is it?" ”

Du Fugong smiled faintly and said: "These people are infected with the plague, since it is the plague god, it is not difficult to prove who is the true god." He stroked his beard, "Evil is invincible, evil gods are never the opponents of true gods, and the devil's tricks are naturally vulnerable in front of ...... true gods!" ”

Ma Xiangu stared at Du Fugong and asked, "Are you...... What do you mean? ”

"There are still many patients outside the city who have contracted the plague because of the plague god." Du Fu said fairly: "Now let people bring a few patients from outside the city into the city, and see who has the ability to crack the tricks of the plague god, whether the governor is the true god sent by the saint to save the people or the plague god that you Ma Xiangu said, just see if the governor can break the tricks of the plague god." As for you, Ma Immortal, if you really want to save the suffering and save the Immortal Gu, you will naturally be able to crack the tricks of the plague god......! He raised his head and said loudly to the people around him, "Tell me, isn't that the truth?" ”

As soon as the children of Xiguan were formed, someone shouted: "That's right, whoever is the real immortal depends on whether he has the ability to crack the trick of the plague god." ”

Someone in the crowd behind Ma Xiangu said loudly: "If the governor can't crack the plague either, then what should I do?" ”

"It's easy to do." Chu Huan said lightly: "If the governor can't deal with this plague, then as Ma Xiangu said, the governor is the plague god, and the plague in Xiguan is caused by the governor, how to deal with it at that time, just listen to you Ma Xiangu, even if it takes the life of the governor, the governor will not say a word." ”

"Good!" Someone behind Ma Xiangu immediately shouted loudly, "That's it, let's go find the patient and send it." ”

"Wait." Old Lady Su had already raised his hand and said, "Lord Governor used his life as a bet, so what did Ma Xiangu use as a bet?" What if the Doge could crack the plague? What if you Ma Xiangu can't solve the plague? ”

The corners of Ma Xiangu's eyes twitched, her lips moved, but she didn't dare to speak, and the old lady had already sneered: "Since the fairy aunt is unwilling to say, the old man relies on the old man to sell the old, how about giving the fairy aunt a suggestion?" ”

Ma Xiangu looked at the old lady and asked, "What...... What is recommended? ”

"I remember that many years ago, the fairy aunt once recommended herself to treat the serious illness of the former governor's concubine." The old lady said slowly: "Immortal Gu made a heavy oath at that time, if you can't be cured, you will jump from the head of Shuoquan City, this matter must not be forgotten by anyone who has heard of it." ”

Immediately, many people in the crowd shouted: "Remember, Ma Xiangu did make such an oath. ”

"In that case, why don't Immortal Gu make a bet this time." The old lady said: "The Governor has a noble status, but he still dares to gamble with his life, Ma Xiangu should not spare one of his lives, right?" He smiled coldly, "If you are really a fairy girl who saves the suffering, you will naturally not be afraid that you will lose, if you are afraid and dare not gamble, you are weak-hearted, if you are weak-hearted, I think there is no need to compare this magical power, you yourself admit that you are an evil god, and it will be ......good for the governor to deal with it!" ”

Many people suddenly thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, and the old lady had already forced Ma Xiangu to have no way out between three words, and it would not be possible to compare.

More people are secretly thinking that the Governor seems to be full of confidence, and even dares to gamble with his life with the respect of the Governor, if he is not really confident, I am afraid it will not be like this.

Today, many people who came with Ma Xiangu were actually bewitched and didn't know the truth, just because Ma Xiangu had shown a lot of magical powers before, and they really thought that Ma Xiangu was a great immortal, and they were very in awe of Ma Xiangu, Ma Xiangu said that the plague was caused by the arrival of the plague god, but most people believed it, and even Ma Xiangu claimed that Chu Huan was the plague god, and everyone almost believed it.

But Du Fugong's aggressive momentum, coupled with Chu Huan's calm and leisurely, and even dared to gamble with his life, this really made everyone suspicious, Du Fugong claimed that Chu Huan was a true god, and the fairy girl was an evil god, coupled with Chu Huan's calmness and confidence, many people were already a little suspicious.

Ma Xiangu didn't know what to say for a while, but Du Fugong had already stepped forward and approached two steps, and said in a deep voice: "Immortal Gu doesn't dare to bet?" ”

After all, Ma Xiangu is not a stupid person, knowing that if she doesn't gamble at this time, if she admits defeat, those believers' awe of herself will collapse in an instant, and Chu Huan's people will definitely do their best to beat themselves into evil gods and demons, if that's the case, he will never end well today.

It is already difficult to ride a tiger, and there is no way back except to move forward.

Ma Xiangu gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely beat your plague god back to its original form." ”

Du Fugong laughed and said in a deep voice: "Since the Immortal Gu is willing to gamble, then please return to your temple now, and send someone to find the patient today, the governor and the Immortal Gu each have two patients, each with magical powers, limited to three days, to see who can make the patient's condition improve within three days...... In these three days, of course, the fairy aunt can not leave the temple, once the three days pass, if the governor loses, let you Ma Xiangu deal with it, if the fairy Gu loses, then please climb to the top of the city and jump from it! ”

There was a commotion all of a sudden, Chu Huan put his hands behind his back, his expression was cold, and he said slowly: "The governor has just taken office, and he originally gathered people to besiege the governor's palace, which is equivalent to rebellion, but today there is a reason, the governor is lenient, give this fairy girl a chance, three days later, it will be clear, within these three days, if anyone wants to besiege the governor's palace again, don't blame the governor for doing it, after three days, if the governor loses, he will not be able to control the governor's palace, if he wins, no one will be allowed to spread wild ...... in front of the governor's palace!" ”

Since the two sides have agreed, it is naturally not good to entangle more, Ma Xiangu left the Governor's Mansion surrounded by a group of believers, and the children surnamed Xiguan saw the group of people leaving, so they dispersed, Chu Huan had already stepped forward, bowed deeply to the old lady, and said, "Old lady, why did you come in person?" ”

The old lady sighed: "This Ma Xiangu is very famous in Shuoquan, she has been in Shuoquan for many years, and the government even gave her money to build a temple, so there are many believers...... If you use officers and soldiers to deal with it, I am afraid that there will be more incidents ......! ”

Chu Huan knew the old lady's thoughts, and the old lady was obviously worried that Chu Huan was facing a predicament, and he couldn't suppress it with officers and soldiers, so he would be helpless, so he summoned people with the seven surnames of Xiguan to come to cheer, if there was a conflict, it would only be a conflict between the seven surnames of Xiguan and Ma Xiangu, and Chu Huan's reputation would be preserved.

The people with the seven surnames of Xiguan gradually dispersed, and Xuanyuan Shengcai, who was waiting solemnly over there, saw that the crowd in front of the governor's palace had retreated, so he led the troops back to the camp.

The old lady was invited into the mansion by Chu Huan, and after sitting down, the old lady already asked with a trace of worry: "My lord really has a way to deal with the plague?" ”

In fact, he was really worried about this, although Chu Huan was very confident before, but this plague is not trivial, before Chu Huan arrived, the spread of the plague had begun to occur in Yuezhou, and the government was also aware of this, and Dong Shizhen, the governor of Zhizhou, had also organized people to start dealing with the plague, but the epidemic was extraordinary, although many doctors had been mobilized, but so far, Yuezhou had not come up with a prescription to deal with the plague.

The old lady wasn't sure if Chu Huan really had a way to deal with the plague, or if he was calm just now, just coping with the predicament just now.

Chu Huan smiled and asked rhetorically: "Master, I don't know if the master arranged for someone to ...... the matter discussed with the master the night before yesterday!" ”

The old lady didn't wait for Chu Huan to finish speaking, and immediately nodded and said, "You mean the grass?" You can rest assured, since we have promised, there will naturally be no problem, and we have already sent a large number of people to collect the grass everywhere...... It's just that this stinging grass is everywhere in the northwest, especially in this season, there are not a few, and the adults want to collect the stinging grass, and have a lot of hands, which ...... Why is that? ”

Chu Huan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the old lady, in fact, these herbs may be able to deal with this plague." ”

"Grass? Pestilence? The old lady was a little surprised, "You mean that the grass can deal with the plague, this ...... How is this possible? "Although he was old and well-informed, he never thought that the grass could deal with the plague.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I can't be completely sure now, but I'll see you soon." ”

The old lady knew that it was inconvenient for Chu Huan to talk more for the time being, so he didn't ask more, and said, "My lord, Ma Shenpo came here today, and there is a good chance that someone will instruct her to be behind, so you have to be careful." ”

"That's what the old lady said." Chu Huan said: "I also know that someone must be behind the instructions, otherwise a goddess would not have such courage." However, whether this goddess is instructed or not, she is deceiving the people with her evil words, and if she does not get rid of it, it will be a disaster after all. After a pause, he said: "This kind of person is not good to do it directly, she has a lot of believers, if she comes hard, maybe it is in the hands of some people...... Since she is pretending to be a ghost, we will start from here, first pick off her fairy aunt's cover, and when her clothes are taken off, we will punish her, and there will be no trouble. ”

The old lady nodded, Chu Huan seemed to think of something, and asked, "Old lady, how are the prices in Xiguan now?" ”

The old lady immediately said: "It is still high, especially the necessities of life, it is even more expensive. After a pause, he sighed and said: "This is also a helpless thing, the goods in Xiguan today are all transported from other places, the cost has increased greatly, and the roads in Xiguan are damaged, most of the official roads have been destroyed, and we must beware of bandits robbing the road, if there is no high profit, no one will do business here, and if you want to let the goods from other places continue to supply here, you can only pull them with high profits for the time being." ”

Chu Huan thought for a moment and asked, "What is the situation of the rice market and the salt market here?" ”

"The market of rice is already amazing, and the salt market is even worse." The old lady said: "The price of the salt market is much more expensive than the rice market now...... My lord, this matter is about to be told to you, the most important item in Xiguan's commerce and trade is the salt market, if the salt market is not solved, Xiguan is afraid that there will be big trouble. ”
