Chapter 372: Great Rebellion
() The gods appeared, how could the people of Chenji County not believe it? For a while, all kinds of public opinion pointed to Gu Ziyuan.
Zhao was ecstatic about such a situation, and he was very confident that he would definitely be able to drive Gu Ziyuan out of Chenji County in one fell swoop.
It's just that he didn't expect that although these people had that idea, there were so many sensible thoughts that Gu Ziyuan was a little hesitant to adjust the tax just a while ago, and he didn't do it for a long time, which made him very irritable, and he couldn't wait to cut down this group of fishermen directly.
But Jing Yu saw him like this and stepped forward to reassure: "Don't be impulsive, if you show something, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious."
"What then?"
Cheng Hu laughed: "Don't worry, I still have some connections in the county."
"What does Brother Cheng mean?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"In this way, there is Brother Lao Cheng?"
That night, when the watchman came out at night, he saw nine black cat corpses in front of the gate of the Zishi County Governor's Mansion, and all of them had their tongues cut out.
The watchman was so frightened that he screamed, and the people in an alley around the mansion were brightly lit and came out to check.
Seeing him, he was so frightened that his soul was almost gone, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
I saw that the lantern in the watchman's hand was thrown to the ground by him, burning with the flames in the middle of the night, accompanied by his terrible roar: "This must be the evil demon that the great wizard said is angry, he thinks we talk too much, and he makes so many cats to warn us that he will cut out our tongues if he says it again!"
When it was said like this, everyone's back was cold, and some of their legs and stomachs were shaking.
No way?
Seeing this, one or two elders who were quite famous in Chenji County pointed to the county mansion: "It must be like this."
"We have never had such a thing happen in Chenji County in a hundred years, why did this Gu Ziyuan have a plague and such a strange thing when he came? If this continues, I'm afraid that our Chenji County will be ruled by this demon forever. ”
"But the adults helped us after all."
"Yes, with the blessing of Lord Tu, my family has had a lot of life in the past two days."
A few fishermen who had brought fish soup to Zhao on the table last time rolled their eyes and hurriedly said: "Confused!"
Shocked by his loud reprimand, the fisherman's face was sad: "This is the method of the evil spirit!" It's just the plague now, but what if the plague is cured? Adultery, adultery, captivity, and plunder, and none of your wives and children will be spared. ”
"This ......
"The Great Wizard said so, what are you waiting for? Do you think that what the gods say is false? ”
Hearing the word "Heavenly God", they finally lost their voices, and their faces trembled: "Then, then what should we do?"
How?
The old man went back to the house, put on his cloak, and took a lighted torch: "Cast this evil demon out now."
As soon as the sky was clear, the voice of the subordinate came from the county magistrate's mansion: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good."
Gu Ziyuan suddenly woke up from his dream, opened the door and frowned: "Why are you so flustered?"
He knelt on the ground and looked panicked: "Outside, those people outside are about to rush in, saying that the adults are evil demons and want to drive you out."
Gu Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, before the door could react, the door had already been knocked open, and everyone just broke in with burning torches.
The old man's face in the lead was a little distorted in the light of the fire, and after seeing him, he didn't give him time to react at all, and said directly: "Tie him up!"
The subordinates who came to report just now wanted to stop these people, but they were quickly arrested.
He kept struggling, but he couldn't break free from the grip of these people, so he could only keep shouting, "My lord, my lord." ”
Gu Ziyuan didn't resist, his eyes were cold and he glanced around.
In such a big battle, but I didn't see my yamen come to help alone, did I really sleep soundly and didn't hear it? Or do you think that he will die today and simply surrender?
The old man was afraid that he would say something, so he tied his hand and gagged him, grabbed the person and walked out.
Just as they were about to go out, the door of one of the rooms suddenly opened
"Wait!"
Bai Rong only wore a cloak over his underwear, and he did not have a face without water.
The petite figure is somewhat thin compared to this huge crowd, but her fierce momentum is not to be underestimated.
"You are so bold that you dare to tie up the county order? Is it ignoring the law and defying the emperor's authority? ”
When such a big hat was buttoned up, these people's faces turned pale.
The old man saw that these people were frightened just because of Bai Rong's words, and secretly scolded these people in his heart for being unproductive, and hurriedly said, "Of course not." We are single-minded to the emperor, and we have no two hearts, but this person is an evil demon under the words of the gods, and we can't get rid of it. ”
Bai Rong sneered: "Evil Demon Outer Dao? Under the words of the gods? I would like to ask you which god you are talking about with this sorcerer? What kind of Taoism are you cultivating? ”
"Whoever it is, it is ordained by the gods."
The old man felt that Bai Rongling's teeth were sharp and difficult to deal with, so he turned to the people behind him and said, "This woman has been with this evil demon outside the way all day, and now she is questioning the words of the gods, maybe she has already been infected by the evil demon outside the way and become a witch." Staying in the village will definitely cause endless disasters, if you get rid of her and this evil demon together, you will return peace to Chenji County. ”
They are now convinced of Zhao's words, and hurriedly follow Ying He: "Return the peace of Chenji County, return the peace of Chenji County."
After speaking, he walked towards Bai Rong, Bai Rong's face remained unchanged, and he narrowed his eyes when he looked at them.
"The county magistrate is a gift from His Majesty, and Chrysostom is like the emperor coming in person, and you fabricate facts to call him an evil demon? Where have you placed the Holy One? ”
"How can you fabricate the facts? It's clearly a manifestation of the gods! ”
"It's nonsense, the Holy One is the true dragon son of heaven ordained by the gods, how can the people appointed by the Son of Heaven come from evil spirits!"
"That's the Holy being deceived by traitors."
"Blinded? Do you mean that the decree is wrong? ”
Bai Rong went to Gu Ziyuan's room and pulled out the sword on the wall with a "swish", and scolded sharply: "The holy decree is like the will of heaven, you actually disobey the will of heaven, it is simply a great rebellion!"
The old man couldn't say a word when he was said, he turned his head and looked at the people around him, he was impressed by Bai Rong's words, and his face was a little loose, and he was even more panicked.
However, this is not over, Bai Rong put the sword on his neck: "Disobey the holy decree and anger Long Yan, today I have to execute you, a disobedient person, for the Holy Lord to show heaven."
After saying that, she was about to cut the blade of the knife into his neck, and he finally relented: "It's not that we are talking nonsense, it's just that the adults will be plagued by the plague as soon as they arrive in Chenji County, which is really unacceptable."
Hearing this, Bai Rong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she didn't know the bottom of her heart when she made this move, and she couldn't be nervous, but now it seems that she has become.
The other side is soft, and she naturally won't push too hard, in case the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, it's not good.
"The plague is indeed strange, but you also know that your lordship has been conscientious since taking office, and has never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and over time, you will definitely be able to find out about this matter!"
"But now that there are people in the village who are sick, what if they get sick after waiting for a long time? You've got to give us some time, right? ”
"Okay, so how long do you say?"
"Three days!"
Bai Rong looked at Gu Ziyuan, he blinked, and she immediately nodded: "Then three days!"
