Chapter 50: Behind Closed Doors [Third Update]
In fact, from noon, when the stench of the warehouse in the north of the city drifted to the whole city, the guards arranged by the city lord Hu began to spread rumors in disguise, and people began to come to the door of the Tang Mansion one after another.
However, unlike yesterday's "siege", these ordinary people who came today were all dizzy, their bodies were smoked by the stench, and there were even one or two relatives in the family who had been in a coma, and they all came to the Tang Mansion to petition.
Why the petition?
Of course, it's because of Tang Can's identity as a "fairy monarch descending to earth" that he blew out yesterday, since they are all immortal monarchs, then ...... Isn't it a matter of course to help the people of Lebanon relieve the calamity?
Why did City Lord Hu think of letting his subordinates spread such rumors everywhere?
There is also an allusion, it is said that four hundred years ago, there was a great plague in the country of Wu.
It just so happened that at that time, there was a thirteen-year-old child in Jiangxia City, Wu State, who was said to be the reincarnation of Pudu Immortal Monarch, who was cultivating in a small mountain village in Jiangxia City.
I don't know who passed it on, as long as I sincerely pray for this Pudu Immortal Monarch, I can break the terrifying plague.
So, thousands of people who had suffered from the plague knelt in front of the house of the child reincarnated by Pudu Xianjun, and after kneeling for three days and three nights, the child came out of it and said that if you want to drive away the plague, each person should leave a handful of hair and drink the water from the well in front of his door, and he will be cured and will never be disturbed by the plague.
At that time, the common people of Wuguo Jiangxia City hurriedly did so, and then the miracle really appeared, and when they drank the well water, all the negative states brought about by the plague on their bodies were cured.
Even a terminally ill patient who was dying of breath was able to jump up and down within a quarter of an hour of drinking the well water.
Therefore, not only Jiangxia City, but also some other people in Wu who were infected with the plague at that time also rushed over, and after drinking the well water, all of them were expelled from the plague without exception.
This allusion and legend of 400 years ago was later spread to various countries, and even later it was rumored that there was a great mercy and compassion Pudu Gate among the islands of the South China Sea, which was the Taoist system of this Pudu Immortal Monarch.
Those who are destined can naturally get the immortal ascension order of Pudu Gate, and after passing the experience, they will become a disciple of Pudu Gate and practice the legendary immortal method.
Of course......
These internal information, only those high-ranking officials and nobles know, and ordinary people can't look up to Xianmen Immortal Island.
As soon as they were hinted, they immediately thought that Tang Can was also an immortal monarch, and it should be the same as Pudu Immortal Monarch, who could cure their illness from being smoked by this stench.
So......
At first it was one or two hundred, then thousands......
In the end, everyone who was smoked by the stench had a stomachache and spicy eyes, or simply vomited and diarrhea and almost fainted, all dragged their families with their mouths, and one ran to the gate of the Tang Mansion to kneel and kowtow to petition.
In fact, the common people are very simple (stupid) and pure (forced), not only do they follow the crowd, but they also often "rush to the doctor".
They are convinced of the miracle of "rain from the sky" created by Tang Can yesterday, after all, seeing is believing!
Therefore, they also firmly believe that as long as there are enough people who come to petition and their hearts are pious enough, then Tang Can, the "immortal monarch of the earth", will definitely be merciful and use "miracles" to treat them.
However......
When the family reported this emergency into the house, Tang Can was not moved at all, but the head of the family, Tang Xun, became anxious again.
"Can'er......! What can I do about this? You see, outside this gate, there are at least tens of thousands of people kneeling. ”
Tang Xun, who was gray-haired, looked at his son Tang Can, who was leisurely drinking tea on the side, and asked very puzzledly, "They are all shouting 'Immortal Monarch Help' again and again, if you don't die, this life-saving talisman of your Immortal Monarch will be ...... It has been completely exposed! City Lord Hu's move is really too vicious. ”
Father Tang is not stupid, he thought of it immediately, there must be someone behind this matter, and needless to say...... It's definitely the Lord of Hu City.
Seeing his son Tang Can's relaxed state, he seemed to have a way to deal with it and even fight back, but his heart was ...... I still can't help but panic, I can't help but be anxious!
Although he trusts Tang Can very much, Tang Xun is blind in both eyes, and he doesn't know what the situation is, and he has no bottom in his heart!
"Father, don't be impatient! Since City Lord Hu intends to spread the legend of the plague of the Wu Kingdom Pudu Immortal Monarch saving people four hundred years ago, let him incite the people to continue to make trouble! After all, those ordinary people of Wu Guojiang Xia City have still knelt in front of the door of Pudu Immortal Jun for three days and three nights, how can I say this, I can't drop the price, right?"
Tang Can not only drank tea safely, but also poured a cup for the cheap dad by the way, and then said with a smile, "You can rest assured." ”
"But, Can'......"
Tang Xun was still a little worried, but when he took this cup of tea and drank it, he was immediately refreshed, and he couldn't smell any smell...... The whole person was stunned, and the expression on his face instantly relaxed, and the worried words on his lips came to an abrupt end.
......
And so the first day passed......
The people kneeling in front of the Tang Mansion have exceeded 10,000.
And around the Tang Mansion, there have always been spies coming and going, and every quarter of an hour, they report the situation here as soon as possible.
Some of these spies are from the city lord's mansion, and some are from the prefect's side.
The next day, as the weather continued to be hot, the entire Jinling City was now more like a "hell on earth", and the smell forced the passing birds to take a detour or fly a thousand meters high.
The capable people in the city had already fled to the countryside or other cities to take refuge, and many of the remaining ones knelt in front of the gate of the Tang Mansion and joined the army of petitioners.
The spies still sent back one secret report after another......
Prefect Chen Yonglian squinted his eyes, listened to the report of the spies, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but nod again and again: "The Tang family, this demon, has a different mind than ordinary people. It seems that his actions like this are to respond to all changes with the same! Could it be that he wants to wait for the city lord Hu to sit still first and take the initiative to come to him?
This is impossible, Hu Yanzhi, an old fox, lacks acting skills and patience. If Tang Can is fighting this idea, he will be even more passive, Hu Yanzhi can drag on for a few days, and when the people are angry, he will directly use the power of all the people to smash the gate of the Tang Mansion, and give Tang Can, a madman who pretends to be an immortal monarch, to correct the law on the spot......"
