Chapter 305: The Sacrificial Silver
"What river god? Can you talk about it in detail, I won't tell you, I have a sister in my family, and it is not good to be born here, if the river god really appears, let alone this money, I can also take out more silver to build a temple for the river god. ”
Fu Rongxue pointed to her head, implying that her sister at home had a bad brain, and Ye Huiming couldn't solve this kind of thing, so she had to come forward.
He smiled and took off the bracelet and handed it over: "Uncle, look, this bracelet is worth more than those silvers, and mine must be counted."
Fu Rongxue said that the sky was so wild, the old man couldn't tell what she said for a while, his hand holding the cane was loose and tight, his mouth was sobbing, and he couldn't say a word about this river god.
At this time, Hui Ming squinted his eyes overnight, this old man seemed to know nothing about the so-called gods in his mouth, and he only heard that he wanted to give money.
"You insincere people are destined not to be protected by the river god, go quickly, you are not welcome here, if you provoke the river god and punish him again!"
Fu Rongxue hurriedly raised her arm and said loudly: "Don't rush to drive people away, what I said is true, how did the old man know about the river god?" My sister at home really needs it. ”
She adopted a roundabout policy, the old man saw that she was sincere, and she was generous, and she hesitated, they almost sacrificed the silver to the river god, and almost all the money in the city was stolen, and now they can only hit these outsiders with their ideas.
Ye Huiming was more direct, took out a handful of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the ground, his movements were skillful, and his expression was indifferent, as if what he had put down was just a handful of waste paper.
"The river god only appeared this year, and in the past, the Buddha system silently guarded our people in the river county, but because we did not worship all year round, the river god was angry and flooded our house, so it was warned."
"And where did you get the money for your previous worship?"
Fu Rongxue hit the nail on the head, most of the families who had just been affected by the disaster were hungry, where could they get the extra money to worship, so would this money be related to the silver?
The old man snorted coldly, as if everything was under his control: "Naturally, the river god entrusted me with a dream, and even the silver given by the imperial court was taken directly by the river god, but he felt that it was not enough, and we still had to get more silver to calm the anger of the river god."
Fu Rongxue's heart was depressed when she heard this, even if there was really a river god, if the people wanted to take money to worship directly, they were not destined to be good gods.
No wonder the villagers in River County didn't report the disappearance of the silver to the imperial court, after all, everyone thought that the river god took it, and it was hard to imagine how ridiculous these people would be if they hadn't come to investigate.
Fu Rongxue complained silently in her heart, and then quickly picked up the silver ticket on the ground and stuffed it into her arms: "Hehe, it's useless for my sister to worship a few immortals, I'll think about it again, we'll take the money first."
After saying that, he dragged Ye Huiming and turned around and ran, and the old man didn't bring anyone to chase him, after all, the silver they stole before was enough.
Coming out from behind the dense forest, Fu Rongxue had a false alarm and patted her chest: "I was scared to death just now, I thought he would take us to sacrifice to the river god."
Ye Huiming laughed and put his fist to his lips: "They don't dare, it is precisely because silver is the easiest thing to get that they dare to be so unscrupulous."
"The clue is broken again, what should we do?" Fu Rongxue shrugged her shoulders and asked, she couldn't really tell the emperor that the silver was taken away by the river god.
"Go to the county order and settle the residence first." Ye Huiming looked wide, and took her hand and walked towards the mansion.
They are all tired after a busy day, and they are not in a hurry to rest for a while.
The county magistrate of Hexian County, surnamed Jiang, is not tall, similar to Fu Rongxue, but his appearance is upright, and he walks with a straight back, but Fu Rongxue always feels a little weird.
"The prince, the princess, the lower officials have lost their welcome, but the affairs in the city are heavy, and they really can't get out."
Jiang Xian ordered to confess his guilt, cautiously and a little flattering.
Fu Rongxue finally knew why she felt uncomfortable, Jiang Xian Ling did the opposite with an upright face, which was really disgusting.
But for the sake of his sincerity and kindness to the people, she suppressed this weirdness.
Ye Huiming's expression was faint: "Jiang County is a parent, and the affairs of the people are more important than this king."
What he said was normal, Jiang Xianling almost knelt on the ground, shouting guilt, and even Hui Ming was disgusted all night.
Bypassing him and walking into the palace, it seemed that it was specially designed to welcome him, cleaned up, and some corners were renovated.
Fu Rongxue smiled: "Jiang County Ling put a lot of thought into welcoming us."
They came to investigate the case, and those who didn't know thought they were coming for a vacation, after all, the small mansion had a cave, and the tea sent was a good peak.
"Where, the princess and princess are noble, and the small land is shabby, please don't be weird to the princess."
"Don't dare." Fu Rongxue replied coldly, and then quietly gave Ye Huiming a look, it was time to mention the matter of the silver.
Ye Huiming coughed lightly, and Jiang Xian Ling immediately sat upright.
"Can the county order know about the disappearance of the silver bailout? The emperor didn't receive your recital, so he specially asked the king to come and take a look. ”
"Lord forgive the sin, this year Hexian suffered this catastrophe, many people fell into the grass, the silver was lost, the minister did know, but he thought that he would lead the troops to recover it, but he didn't expect it to ......"
"I didn't expect you to be so incompetent?" Ye Huiming was fed up with his pretentious appearance, and continued to ask, "Then do you know about the river god?"
Jiang Xian Ling raised his head fiercely: "I don't know, it's just that there are indeed a lot of disappearances in the shortest time, is it related to this river god?" The minister immediately went to investigate and gave an explanation to the prince as soon as possible. ”
"It's not for us, you can do it yourself, I'm tired and want to rest." Fu Rongxue rudely interrupted his words, and pretended to be coquettish and said to Ye Huiming.
"Okay, let's go back now, this matter must be fast, otherwise this Wang Ye will not be able to explain to the emperor, and we will all suffer at that time."
"Don't worry, the prince will take orders."
He lowered his head to cover the thoughts in his eyes, and sent him out of the door, waiting for the figure to disappear completely, before he was unwilling to squirp fiercely: "Bah, I'm just a straw bag, isn't it just a good mother's fetus, I will be fooled by a little weakness, and my mind is full of daughters-in-law, it's really embarrassing."
After speaking, he turned his head and said to his henchmen: "These days, people are smart, King Lian already knows about the river god, I'm afraid that he will follow the vine."
The henchmen were confused, but they still obediently went out the back door and quickly blended in with the flow of people.
And when she came out of the mansion, Fu Rongxue stretched her waist and asked lazily: "I think there is a problem with Jiang County's order, but I don't think it."
Listening to her tangled words, Ye Huiming smiled dumbly: "He said inconsistency, it should be hiding something, I will send someone to observe and observe, and then make a decision."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Rest, and then tomorrow I'll look for some clues on the way to the silver disappear."
