"Uncle Hu's daughter-in-law?" Chen Hao smiled slightly sarcastically, a god can also marry a daughter-in-law? What's more, Heavenly Court has lost contact, and the so-called Hu Bo may have already lost all his mana, and this is in the territory of the Green Snake King, Chen Hao guessed that this has something to do with the Green Snake King who is entrenched here.

"Don't believe it, guest officer!" The shopkeeper continued to lower his voice and said, "In the past hundred years, on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, several cities near Taihu Lake have to take turns to supply a cardamom girl to Hubo, as long as he is offered, he will bless the grain harvest in this area." Otherwise, he will be angry, and he will stir up the waves, and the waters will rise, and our houses and fields will be finished. ”

"Oh, since it's an offering, why do you say that you want to marry a daughter-in-law?" Chen Hao asked.

The shopkeeper said: "This is what the witch said, we don't know the specifics, and we don't know why, in the past, they used to be offered on the first and fifteenth days of each month, but I don't know why this time it was not time, and the witch gave an order, and she had to marry so many at a time!" ”

Zhuge Wolong said: "If you don't make an offering, will there really be a big flood?" ”

Shopkeeper sighed: "Twenty years ago, we didn't make an offering once, and the whole Huzhou was flooded, and countless crops and houses were destroyed, and since then, we don't dare to resist Hubo!" ”

"What are you doing, kid, why don't you help me entertain other guests." At this time, the shopkeeper saw that the shopkeeper was talking about Uncle Hu, afraid of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly reprimanded him.

The shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to disobey the shopkeeper's orders, so he smiled at Chen Hao and the others, and left.

"It must be the ghost of the Green Snake King, and he must be eliminated this time!" Yan Chixia's face was pale, and her heart was full of killing intent.

Chen Hao nodded, their original purpose was to get rid of the Green Snake King!

"My son!"

"How am I going to live......"

Yan Chixia's words fell, and there was a cry on the street, and there was a cry of crying and shouting, and you didn't have to think about it to know that the parents of the girl who was married by Hu Bo were crying.

"Huh! Interesting! Chen Hao smiled inexplicably.

Yan Chixia naturally found out, and he said, "I'm afraid this Simon brother and sister is going to do something, right?" ”

It turned out that they scanned it with their divine senses and found that Ximenqing, who they met in Shaoxing Mansion that day, was wearing an official mansion, with a group of officials, and a few people were tied up and mixed with the relatives of those married girls.

"Let's go, let's go see the excitement too!" Chen Hao said.

Zhuge Wolong and the others were also curious about this matter, and when they saw that Chen Hao wanted to take a look, they also ate a few bites hastily, and followed Chen Hao out of the restaurant.

After the group left the restaurant, they followed closely behind Ximen Qing, and everyone walked for half an hour and came to the shore of Taihu Lake.

On the shore of Taihu Lake, a large platform about five meters high was set up, and an old woman with long hair and a shawl, about sixty years old, was dancing on the stage with words in her mouth.

Under the high platform, there are dozens of small boats woven with reeds, and next to the boats stand dozens of young girls wearing bride's auspicious clothes, all with tears in their eyes, without the joy of getting married.

The people in the audience were also full of sadness, they didn't know why Hebo was so anxious this time, in the past ten years, the people of Huzhou have exchanged money, all of them are to buy girls from other places to offer to Hubo, but this time, they can only supply Hubo's local girls!

"The prefect has arrived!" When he reached the periphery, one of the attendants next to Ximenqing shouted loudly.

Seeing that the prefect was coming, the onlookers each made way for a passage and let Ximen Qing pass through.

Chen Hao and the others naturally followed inside, but for some reason, Ximen Qing didn't find them.

"Dad, mother!"

They walked to the high platform, and the girls who were to be married saw the parents and relatives who were following Ximenqing, and immediately cried bitterly, and those parents couldn't help the sadness in their hearts, and each found their daughters hugging their heads and crying, and for a while the cries came and went, resounding on the shore of the West Lake.

"I've seen the prefect." The old woman and witch on the high platform didn't seem to be afraid of Ximenqing, but just said hello to Ximenqing lightly.

Ximen Qing's face was pale, he was the master of a house, but he was not put in the eyes of a witch, how could he not be angry at a young age.

"Witch, your lies have been exposed!"

Ximen Qing shouted, and the officials behind him immediately pushed the bound people to the ground.

Seeing these people who were pushed, the witch's expression still didn't react, and she didn't seem to know these people.

The lowly people exploded, these people were the ones who were responsible for collecting taxes, going to other places to buy girls and buying Hebo's weddings, the henchmen of the witches, and one of them was the younger brother of the general judge.

Ximenqing arched his hand to the people and said, "Fellow villagers, you must be no stranger to these people, right?" ”

At first, no one dared to speak, but then a bolder man said, "Of course I know, these people are in charge of collecting taxes!" ”

Ximen Qing said: "Since everyone knows, then it's easy to say!" ”

He said in a loud voice, and said: "After these years of investigation, the official found that Hu Bo's wife is a scam, and the fundamental reason is that this witch colluded with the local evil gentry to defraud everyone's hard-earned money. ”

Ximenqing's words are not amazing, breaking a tradition is often tens of millions of times more difficult than developing a tradition, not to mention that everyone has become accustomed to marrying a daughter-in-law for Hu Po, and it has become a habit of life.

"Ahh It's impossible, the ceremony of Hu Bo's wife has been held for nearly a hundred years, it can't be collusion to deceive people, right? ”

"Absolutely impossible, the flood of twenty years ago, everyone remembers it vividly, it is definitely not fake!"

"Then the witch is not one, there are several of them, it is impossible for each of them to deceive people, right?"

At this time, an old man suddenly said: "I remember that these witches are all mother-to-daughter, sister-to-sister, and they are all their own family!" ”

"Ahh This sentence can be regarded as a sentence to wake up the dreamer, the people may not have read the book, but they are not stupid, how can the business monopolized by their own family not be tired, many people believe Ximenqing's statement.

Ximenqing said again: "The flood twenty years ago was just an accident, we are in the south, is it not normal to have water?" It has nothing to do with the so-called Hubo. ”

Although the other people were suspicious, no one wanted to be the first bird, but those whose daughters were married to Hu Bo couldn't help it, they knew that Ximenqing was their last savior, and they shouted in unison: "Please be the master for us, for us!" ”

"Okay, then the official will make the decision for you!" He instructed the officials: "Come on, catch the old witch and throw her into the lake, and the official will see if there is really a so-called lakeman." ”

"Yes!" As soon as those officials clenched their fists, they rushed towards the witch on the high platform, Ximenqing had already prepared, these officials were all seconded from other government officials, and the local officials he could not trust.

Seeing that the servants were about to rush to the high platform, the witch still looked indifferent and unmoved.

Ximenqing's sister Ximenlian's face was full of anxiety, as if she was waiting for someone to arrive.
