Xia Wenjin and Huangfu Jingchen glanced at each other, Huangfu Jingchen, a person who had participated in the suppression of bandits, didn't believe in any river gods, and Xia Wenjin didn't believe it either.

Even if what happened to her herself was bizarre.

Huangfu Jingchen asked, "When did the county government send people?" ”

Mura Zhengdao: "We have a lot of missing girls here, so we went to the county government to report the case." Just seven days ago, the county lord sent a messenger to investigate, and it must be said that all those girls drowned in the river. But there are people alive, and there must be corpses when they die. Our village has searched for dozens of miles along the river, but not a single corpse has been found. Besides, how could those girls suddenly run to the river and drown? In the end, the county lord also felt that this matter was evil, so he went to invite the monk to come over, and the monk came to divinate the hexagram, only to know that it was the river god who married his daughter-in-law. After doing the Fa, in the past few days, I have been fine. No, everyone was relieved, and they didn't patrol at night, so that the Wang family came to the village again. When he said that, he was still a little annoyed.

Some villagers said worriedly: "Today, the Wang family is making trouble again, and I don't know how the night will be!" ”

Another humane: "The monks have asked us to worship the god of the river, it should be fine, right?" ”

Xia Wenjin asked some more questions.

These villagers were a little afraid and flattering of her and Huangfu Jingchen, but they knew everything.

Xia Wenjin asked: "How many little girls are there in the village who are over twelve years old, under sixteen years old, and have not yet married?" ”

Muramasa counted with his fingers and said, "There are six or seven more." ”

Huangfu Jingchen said: "Murazheng, in case something happens, you ask someone to escort them to your house, tonight, we will stay here to see what is going on!" ”

Someone immediately said: "If it is really the river god who marries his daughter-in-law, will we anger the river god if we do this?" ”

"That's right, isn't it against the river god?"

"If the river god gets angry and sends disaster to our village, how can it be good?"

"The poor master is not from our village, when the poor master is gone, the river god will be angry, and we will all suffer!"

"If the river god wants to catch it, let him catch it! He only caught one at a time, and as long as the madman didn't come to the village to make trouble, the river god wouldn't come to arrest anyone. I think it's better to forget about that madman to Shen He. ”

……

Suddenly, all the villagers were gossiping, and most of them were raising objections.

It is proposed to sink Aunt Wang into the river, so that she will not be tired of the village again.

Huangfu Jingchen's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "The matter has not been clarified yet, do you want to dispose of human lives casually?" Who gave you the rights? ”

Xia Wenjin smiled slightly: "You people, you are all shouting to arrest people with the river god, and you want to sink the Wang family into the river, but you are just relying on the fact that there is no female dependant of the right age in your family, and you will hang it high if it is not your own business, and you are happy to watch the excitement on the side." But have you ever thought that if this is not the person the river god wants, but you sink the person into the river, the river god will be even more angry at an old, ugly, and crazy person, right? When the time comes, the river god will condemn him, who will be able to escape? ”

The villagers were first frightened by Huangfu Jingchen's sharp eyes, and then forced Xia Wenjin's words to be frightened, feeling very reasonable, and suddenly did not dare to speak out.

Xia Wenjin said: "So, Muramasa, gather people here first, if the river god comes to arrest people today, we will negotiate with him." ”

A villager said at the back of the crowd: "What if we can't negotiate?" ”

Xia Wenjin's smiling expression was closed, his eyes were also sharp, and he said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and the river god is considered a god, but the god has a god, and there is no reason to casually violate the world." The two of us came on behalf of the government, which was a negotiation between man and God. If the river god does not give face, and there is a higher god to punish him, what are you afraid of? ”

In her categorical words, the villagers felt a force, from power, from higher, from a power of admiration. They are cowardly in their hearts, dissatisfied with the river god's random arrest, but no one dares to come forward, and they are even more afraid that offending the river god will lead to annihilation. Now that someone has come forward, and they are also representing the government, they suddenly seem to have found the backbone.

Someone couldn't help but say: "Whether the official is here on behalf of the government, or the poor master of the Futai Lord, he will definitely be able to negotiate with the river god's grandfather, if the negotiation is good, we will no longer be dragged down by the Wang family, wouldn't it be good?" ”

When one person spoke, there were more responses.

Huangfu Jingchen looked at Xia Wenjin with another appreciation in his eyes. Just now he deliberately sang blackface and asked Xia Wenjin to sing red-faced, the effect was very good, but he didn't expect Xia Wenjin's blackface to sing well.

These villagers are so ignorant that they won't listen to any more explanations, but now, in the name of the government, they are righteous and righteous, but they have suppressed people.

Muramasa immediately said: "Hurry up, listen to the errand master, quickly gather all those girls!" Tell the boys, and escort them over! ”

There were a lot of people coming, and they dispersed all at once.

The village is arranging accommodation for Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin, Xia Wenjin said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." We still have to negotiate with the river god! ”

Since the villagers are called river gods, no matter what kind of cow ghosts and snake gods they are, they will call them them, and in the end, they will definitely be able to find out the ghost and villain in the dark.

Muramasa hurriedly said: "It still has to be arranged!" ”

When the village was leaving, only Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin were left in the house, Xia Wenjin snorted at him and said, "Guess, will the river god come tonight?" ”

Huangfu Jingchen said: "It should be, the noise is so big, if he doesn't come, won't he break the convention of arresting one person every time Aunt Wang makes trouble?" ”

"Maybe we won't be able to come?"

"Isn't it God? Is God still afraid of many? Huangfu Jingchen teased, he looked at Xia Wenjin, and said, "According to your observations, are there any suspicious people among these people?" ”

Xia Wenjin said: "What do you think? ”

Huangfu Jingchen shook his head slightly and said, "These villagers don't have the courage or ability. It seems that someone else. ”

"I can kidnap seven girls, no, eight, and I have to do it so that I don't get caught by the villagers, so that the villagers can't be prevented, and the people who do it either use medicine or have strong martial arts!"

"If the medicine is used, the villagers will notice it, and most of them are strong in martial arts. The villagers are in the countryside, they don't know that there are smart martial arts and light skills in this world, if the strong people have the heart to do it, most of the villagers are difficult to perceive, so they will blame the power and think it is the river god! ”

"Wrong, this river god's theory was only used by the villagers later!"

Huangfu Jingchen's eyes lit up: "You're right, the county sent a messenger to check before, but I thought that these girls were drowned." It is the so-called high monks who come, and there is a saying of the river god! You say, "What is the way this monk came from?" ”
