Chapter 370 Complicity
Gu Huai'an sighed helplessly, it is normal for the people in this Zhenzhou city to think like this, the loopholes of these witch Gu people are nothing more than the ignorance of the people, the officials in the city are still in collusion with these witch Gu people, and these people can't do anything else, so they can only watch like this.
"General Feng, what do you think we should do now?"
With such a small number of manpower, it is better not to act rashly, and now they can only stand still for the time being, and see that the next thing may not be so simple to solve.
Shen Qianshan has never faced such a situation, and it is almost impossible for him to come up with a countermeasure immediately, the truth of the celestial phenomena, they all understand, but how should they explain it to those people? If you don't know it carefully, the people will still believe in the sorcerers and not in them.
People are in awe of the unknown, so even if they have the seal of an official in their hands, the people may not trust them, and this is the most difficult thing to deal with.
"I can't think of any other way for the time being, but we can't sit still here, we must go to the city first, inquire about the specific situation, and at least get in touch with the officials in the city first."
The key question is that even if Chasing Cloud disposes of the people in the team who have two hearts, who can guarantee that there are no other forces in this team except for the army led by Huang Hao?
"That's it, General Huang and Chang...... Chasing the clouds, as well as Lord Song, are staying here for a while, General Feng and I will go to the city first, and after exploring the truth and truth, we will decide what to do. Gu Huai'an almost slipped out of his mouth and said Gu Yan's name, but fortunately he reacted in time, so he stopped.
Gu Yan tugged at Gu Huai'an's sleeve, "Shall I go with you?" I'm not worried about you. ”
"No, you stay here, and you are not allowed to go there." Shen Qianshan still had lingering fears about what had just happened, if the people in the city had really become so terrifying, Gu Yan following them would be equivalent to being in danger with them, if he stayed here, at least there were so many people, it was safer.
After Gu Huai'an and Song Yu discussed everything, Gu Huai'an entered the city with his token, and the guards at the city gate seemed to have been replaced by new people, and no one knew the faces of Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan, and no one seemed to be exploring where the original guard went.
Gu Huai'an shook his head helplessly, it seems that the whole city of Zhenzhou has been seriously bewitched by this heavenly master, and even if someone is missing, no one cares.
"So what should we do now?" Gu Huai'an was holding the token in his hand, and in fact, he was not much higher than the county order of this Zhenzhou City, if he really fought against it, he might not be able to suppress the county order of this Zhenzhou City, in case it really didn't work, the two of them would probably be in danger.
"There shouldn't be any problems, after all, this is just a county seat, and they are also officials from the capital, so they don't dare to behave excessively towards you." Although Shen Qianshan himself can't be sure, Zhenzhou City can be regarded as a place not too far from Kyoto, and no matter how bold the county order of Zhenzhou City is, he doesn't dare to have any disrespect for the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, right?
But after all, Shen Qianshan had witnessed that kind of thing, and if there was such a thing, the county magistrate didn't care, and no one could say what would happen after the two of them entered the city.
"Then should we go to the county government office first?" For the sake of insurance, Gu Huai'an brought his own official seal in addition to the token, which was really a bit heavy and the two of them walked on the street like this, which was indeed a bit eye-catching.
Shen Qianshan looked at the inquiring eyes of the people around him and nodded, "Then let's go to the county government to take a look first, after all, you are also an official sent by the imperial court, and they shouldn't behave excessively towards you." ”
Gu Huai'an still trusted Shen Qianshan very much, and after having his words, he was also much more relieved.
The guards at the gates of the city were replaced, and the other guard, who was knocked unconscious by them, didn't know where they went, so they didn't encounter any obstacles when they entered the city, and no one noticed them at all.
The drought affected a wide range, not only Zhenzhou City, but also several surrounding small cities were also affected, but when they passed by, they only found that this place was exploited by witchcraft, it seems that the county officials in this Zhenzhou City are not a good thing, either they are in the same stream with these so-called heavenly masters, or their brains are flooded, so these people will take advantage of the loopholes.
Shen Qianshan is a member of the royal family, in fact, even in the palace, the emperor, the ministers, and the concubines of the harem all believe in these so-called Taoist priests and monks, and they are also treated very well in the palace, but although the general royal family believes in these, they will not have such an influence today anyway, if every time there is a drought, someone needs to be sacrificed, then Bei'an Kingdom will be killed by them one day sooner or later.
Not to mention that the person who heard these things now is Shen Qianshan, even if he changes his position, the person standing here now is the murderous Shen Zhongbai, and he will definitely not allow these so-called Heavenly Masters to confuse the public and endanger their own people.
Shen Qianshan and Gu Huai'an quickly walked to the gate of the yamen, but they didn't expect that the government was originally set up for the people to redress their grievances, and when the two of them walked to the door, they were also stopped by the guards and officials.
"What kind of person, what are you doing here?"
The official at the door had a look of disdain on his face, and as he spoke, he also stretched out his hand to the two of them, obviously wanting the two of them to give some silver before he would let them in.
Gu Huai'an looked at this servant, and felt angry, as a public official, he didn't protect the people, and even helped those so-called wizards and heavenly masters, harming so many people in the city, it was simply stupid!
Gu Huai'an was too lazy to meet them in general, so he directly took out his official seal and token, "Then bother the two of you to pass on your county order, take a look at these two things, can the two of us enter the yamen?" ”
Although the official at the door is short-sighted, he still knows how to read, and as soon as the token of the Ministry of Rites came out, he realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and then looked at the two people in front of him who were extraordinary, and they definitely came from a large background, and he didn't dare to offend them, so he had to run in.
"Second son, wait a minute, I'll go in and report immediately."
Although the official looks down on people, he also knows how to judge the situation, and the person at the door is holding the token of the Ministry of Rites, which means that it is very likely that the official from Kyoto is definitely not someone he can afford to offend.
"My lord, there are two people outside the door who want to see you."
The county magistrate of this town is lying on his soft couch at the moment, where can he still listen to the words of this official? "Tell them that the master won't handle official business today, so come back another day!"
"But......" The official hurriedly put the token in front of Liu Yue's eyes, "My lord, this is the token that the prince at the door asked me to show you." ”
The magistrate of this Zhenzhou Prefecture, whose name is Liu Yue, can be regarded as having dealt with Shen Qianshan for a period of time before, when Shen Qianshan lived in the villa before, he came to Zhenzhou several times and met Liu Yue a few times, but now at this time, Shen Qianshan is wearing a person/skin/mask on his face, and Liu Yue can't recognize Shen Qianshan's identity at all.
What's more, Liu Yue had already done such a thing, and Shen Qianshan didn't want to admit that he once knew him.
"Have you ever heard of this county official?" Although Gu Huai'an had been to this place when he was doing business, he only transited, at most he only stayed for one night, and he had never dealt with these officials, so he didn't know what kind of person this Zhenzhou governor was.
Shen Qianshan shook his head, "I don't know how to answer you now, I did have contact with him for a while, and I know him a little, but you don't have a lot, all I know is that this person is an official who was admitted through the formal imperial examination, but according to common sense, if he is really an official who was admitted to the imperial examination, how can he be as ignorant as those people?" I don't know why he did such a thing, but maybe we'll figure it out when we meet later. ”
As soon as Liu Yue saw the token, his eyes immediately opened, "This seems to be the token of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has the person who came said what his name is?" ”
No matter who the person who came, this is also an official who is often sent, how can he not go out to greet him?
The official shook his head, "The man didn't say his name, but just asked the little one to give you this token." ”
Could it really be that the new Ministry of Rites is here?
Liu Yue didn't have time to hesitate, hurriedly changed into an official uniform, and hurriedly ran to the door of the yamen, as soon as he saw the two people at the door, Liu Yue almost understood in his heart, these two people are indeed from a lot of background, I am afraid that they are really people sent by the imperial court.
"Xiaguan Liu Yue, meet the two adults, I don't know if the two adults are here this time, but what are the important things to do? Do you need help from the lower authorities? ”
Liu Yue saw people coming from the capital, and he was actually a little panicked in his heart, these things that are happening in Zhenzhou City now, it is difficult to say in the past, and now there are two officials from the capital, in case they go back and report to the emperor, the emperor knows what he has done, then he is definitely a dead end.
