Gu Huai'an was still a little panicked in the face of the unknown situation, but fortunately, they had almost all thought of countermeasures, and at today's meal, the two of them must figure out whether this so-called Heavenly Master just wants to simply kill people and control those who don't listen to him in the city, or just want to make money?

"Lord Liu, this Heavenly Master will do a Dharma service once, how many silver taels will he charge you?"

Before the Heavenly Master arrived, they had to get as much news as possible from Liu Yue's mouth before they could decide what they should ask when this Heavenly Master came over.

Liu Yue raised his head and looked at Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan in front of him, "If you go back to the two adults, this Heavenly Master only needs to collect five thousand taels of silver if you do it once." ”

Five thousand taels, and only five thousand taels?

Could it be that this Lord Liu really thinks that five thousand taels of silver is a small amount for them?

Although it is said that Zhenzhou City is a place where merchants will stay, but after all, it is only a small town, and five thousand taels of silver is definitely more than his three years' salary, where did he get so much money?

Even if they were to provide disaster relief this time, they only brought tens of thousands of taels of silver!

"Now that the words have been said here, then the official wants to ask, Lord Liu's annual income should only be a few hundred taels, so who paid for the extra money?"

"If you go back to your lordship, generally this is from the merchants in the city, they have more spare money in their hands to do business, and they are also for the people in the city, so most of them are willing to take out their own silver taels to help everyone ask for rain."

"Mostly? In other words, there must still be a lot of merchants who disagree with this approach, right? ”

Liu Yue's face changed slightly, "This ...... It is true that there are, but those people, no matter how you say it, they will all be punished by the gods, and sooner or later they will have to take it out, so why give up their lives for the money. ”

"What do you mean?"

"They always died violently at home after rejecting my opinion, and the Heavenly Master told the lower officials that it was all because they didn't listen to the Heavenly Master, so they ended up like that, it was all God's will, and we had no way to intervene."

"Really? In this case, then this angel is really powerful, how can he be short of money, I really can't figure it out, and whether they died violently at home due to illness, or because they made some mistakes, they were imprisoned by Lord Liu? ”

Gu Huai'an Ke never forgot that the person he brought out at that time told himself again and again that the girl they saw that day was the daughter of a medicinal herb shop in Zhenzhou City, and it was because the owner of the medicinal herb shop did not believe in such a behavior of begging for rain, so he was put in prison, saying that this Lord Liu had nothing to do with that Heavenly Master, and he would never believe it.

Shen Qianshan found that Gu Huai'an's words were wrong, for fear of arousing the suspicion of this Lord Liu, so he hurriedly spoke, "Lord Gu just said this casually, Lord Liu must not take it to heart." ”

"Haha, this can't be said, after all, asking for rain is a big deal, maybe the Heavenly Master just thinks that they are not sincere and reported these things to the gods, so they will end up like this, don't you say, my lord?"

The corners of Shen Qianshan's mouth hooked a sneer, but he kept cursing this county official in his heart, he was also a parent official, seeing that he was under his jurisdiction, there were so many lives in this place, and he was still in the same league with those heavenly masters, seeking money and killing people, it was like a joke.

"What Lord Liu said is naturally right, after all, for the sake of the people, all things are big things, and the sacrifice of a small number of people must be necessary, then I still want to ask, from beginning to end of this matter, how much money did Lord Liu pay? And the two of us also want to ask the Heavenly Master to do us a favor, so I also hope that Master Liu can reveal to us, what sect and sect this Heavenly Master is from, and we also know in good hearts. ”

"Two adults, this is a dilemma, the official really doesn't know about this matter, but after all, he is a heavenly master, and he naturally has a sect, otherwise I wouldn't have found him, right?"

"Then it seems that this Heavenly Master is really powerful, and he really has the ability to talk to gods and ghosts, it seems that when we see him tonight, we will have to ask him for advice."

After Gu Yan packed up her things, she asked Huang Hao to help her and Gu Huai'an pass a word, saying that there were important things to deal with in the capital, so they would go back to the capital first and let them take care of themselves.

Huang Haohao felt a little strange, this Gu Huai'an was really not an ordinary person, even the guards around him were so temperamental, they just said that they would leave.

This Heavenly Master is really mysterious, even when he sits and eats together, he must wear his own mask and strictly follow the rule of eating without saying a word, no matter how Gu Huaian and Shen Qianshan ask him, they will reply simply.

"I heard that the Heavenly Master has great magical powers, and just by doing a few rituals, the drought in Zhenzhou and several surrounding towns has been alleviated, which is really powerful." Gu Huaian smirked and agreed, but the person opposite seemed to have a look of disdain.

"Lord Liu, you haven't introduced me to these two friends of yours, what is the origin?"

"Oh oh, oh, I forgot about my brain, I don't know, these two are from the capital, this is Lord Gu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and this time I came to transport disaster relief funds."

"Oh, it turned out to be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, it's really rude to be here, but didn't you just come to provide disaster relief, why are there only two adults here? Didn't bring a team to escort the disaster relief bank? ”

This so-called Heavenly Master, as soon as he heard that the two of them were escorting the disaster relief silver, his eyes were straight, Shen Qianshan saw that such a person was much more visible, and he knew that he must be just a charlatan with some means, but he had harmed so many lives for no reason.

"I'm afraid this Heavenly Master doesn't know, the two of us, this is also for the sake of Lord Liu, where is the current Zhenzhou that has been affected by disasters? The people are also living and working in peace and contentment, and have not seen any drought, if we don't report it truthfully, then the adults who escorted the disaster relief silver will see it in their eyes, if they go back to report this matter to the emperor, Lord Liu will be a bully. ”

"What should I do here, this, this? Now that the lives of the people have returned to normal, they should be rewarded and not punished, but if the emperor thinks that the lower officials lied about the drought, I am afraid that he will really punish him......"

"It's not that there is no solution to the matter, it's just that I want to ask this Heavenly Master to temporarily collect his mana, and a few days before the disaster relief silver arrives, I also ask the Heavenly Master not to open the altar to practice, if it is discovered by those two adults, it is not easy for the two of us to explain it."

"In other words, as long as we don't do things in the past few days, we can drag the recently arranged mage back for the time being, and when we win, it's not too late for us to do it, isn't it?"

"Lord Liu is really smart, and he immediately understood what Lord Gu meant, if Lord Song found out that there was nothing abnormal here, he would definitely not hand over the disaster relief money to you, so when weighing the pros and cons, you still have to consider it yourself."

Now Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan can't think of any other good way for a while, which can stop them from continuing to kill people and sacrifice to the sky, after all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but now in their territory, if they can't do anything, they can only use such a delaying strategy.

After hearing this on this day, he became anxious, "Let me have already done the Fa the day before yesterday, and the rain is about to come, and now he can't go back!" ”

"Did the Celestial Master misunderstand the meaning of the two of us? What the two of us mean is that as long as you don't look at the practice, how did this rain come about, it is purely providence, and we all see through it and don't say anything, but if you continue to do it, you are escorted inside, and the two adults know, I'm afraid things will not be so simple. ”

After hearing Gu Huai'an's words, this fake heavenly master put his mind at ease, it seems that what he has done during this period of time has not had any serious consequences, even the two big officials from the capital did not express any dissatisfaction with his behavior, but praised it very much, and he directly agreed, and did not open the altar for the time being.

Liu Yue arranged for Shen Qianshan and Gu Huai'an to rest in the post house, and after hearing the news that the disaster relief silver was about to come, Liu Yue also seemed very excited, Gu Huai'an didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Yue at all, this time he had just arrived at the post house, and he sat down together to discuss.

"Lord Wang, what should we do now? When the two of us left, the false Heavenly Master hadn't left yet. Gu Huai'an stretched his muscles, today he tried it intentionally or unintentionally, this fake Heavenly Master and Liu Yue didn't know martial arts, which made it convenient for the two of them to find out the news.

Shen Qianshan looked at the sky outside, "Huai'an, can you look at the sky?" ”

Gu Huai'an was suddenly asked this question, he was clueless, and turned his head to look at Shen Qianshan, "What about me, medical skills are okay, martial arts are okay, if you ask me these things, I really can't, but I can give you two sentences of gossip, if you want to hear it, I can tell you about it." ”

"Forget it, I'm not interested, I once saw it in a book before, I heard that when there are cirrus clouds in the sky, the weather, there will be rainy weather, I don't know if this is true or false......"
