"Why don't you let us into the city?" Nalan Minhao looked at the city gate strangely, then turned back to Wei Zhiyang and said, "Let's go down and have a look, shall we?" ”

The two asked Qianfan and Xiao Bai'er to wait in the carriage, and then the two walked to the city gate and saw Wang Ming explaining something to those people hoarsely, but the people were so emotional that they didn't listen to him at all.

"I said Wang Ming, you have too no status as a county magistrate, what's the situation?" Nalan Minhao looked at those people, and said with some schadenfreude: "If you don't go back, I'll talk to the emperor, and let him quickly remove the black gauze hat of your county order!" ”

"Lord Shizi, don't be joking, the officials are afraid!" Wang Ming wiped a handful of sweat and said helplessly: "They are not like this on weekdays, and the lower officials have not leaked your itinerary, I don't know why these people will know about it, and why they are blocking the road here." ”

"It's a saint!" Suddenly, the people who were still rioting shouted a word, and everyone shouted: "It's the Holy Maiden!" Holy Maiden Jin'an! ”

Everyone knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing reverently in the direction behind them, Nalan Minhao and Wei Zhiyang looked back and found that the saintess in their mouths was Qian Fan who had just gotten off the carriage, Nalan Minhao pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "It seems that things are getting more and more interesting......"

"Holy Maiden! Saint! Saint! Qian Fan walked up to Nalan Minhao, looked at them with a frown, glanced at Nalan Minhao with some puzzlement and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"You ask me, how do I know, only that you have suddenly become their holy daughter, but I want to know if the holy woman in their mouth can be married? If not, will they slaughter me? Nalan Minhao suddenly laughed, and whispered to Qianfan: "When the time comes, you must save your mistress!" ”

"You can think of this at any time!" Qian Fan gave him a blank look, then walked up to the people, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone get out of the way, I want to enter the city!" ”

"Holy Maiden, those people can't enter the city!" At this time, an older man among the people came out, bowed to Qianfan, and then said, "Those people are the source of calamity, and if they enter the city, they will bring us calamity!" ”

"I'm a saint, you're a saint?" Qian Fan looked at it coldly, and said lightly: "Could it be that you think the Holy Maiden will lie to you?" You say they are the source of evil, but who told you? ”

"This is the will of the Holy Lord, he said that the Holy Maiden will come today, but the Holy Maiden has been surrounded by calamities, only by expelling the calamities can we exchange for peace, the Holy Maiden must think twice!" What the old man said was really reasonable, and he burst into tears, and he seemed to be really loyal.

"Really?" Qian Fan looked at the old man and suddenly smiled: "Since it is the source of the disaster, why are you still standing here?" You have been contaminated with evil, are you not afraid of being cursed? ”

"The Holy Maiden actually cursed Elder Yang!" As soon as Qianfan's words fell, the surrounding people immediately whispered, with a frightened expression on their faces, as if the next moment that Yang Lao died in first aid, and Nalan Minhao and Qianfan, who had provoked him, frowned, as if they were helpless against these people.

That Yang Lao's face was dead, and his eyes looking at Qian Fan seemed to have a kind of despair and loss, and he muttered to himself: "Holy Maiden, since the Holy Maiden let me die, I will die here, but it is not a pity for me to die, but these people are definitely not allowed to enter the city!" If the holy woman insists on letting them into the city, woe will arise! ”

"Shall I let you die again? Are you threatening the saint with death? It's easy to want to die, and if you want to die, you don't need anyone to know about it. Qian Fan looked at that Yang Lao, only to feel that he was really unreasonable, in two lifetimes, she really had never encountered such a thing, after thinking about it, Qian Fan turned his head and whispered to Nalan Minhao: "Why don't you wait outside, I'll go and see first?" ”

"Don't think about such a thing, it's better to kill me if you let yourself in!" Nalan Minhao took Qian Fan and whispered in her ear: "Holy Maiden, won't you tell them that we are lucky stars?" ”

"These people are not the source of the disaster!" Qian Fan walked up to everyone and said in a loud voice: "These people you see in front of you are actually the lucky stars I have been looking for for many years, and they will bring luck to Mingcheng!" ”

"But the Holy Lord explained before that these people are ......" The old man known as Yang Lao spoke again, but he was turned sideways by Qian Fan's eyes, and he immediately didn't dare to speak.

"Are you a saint or am I a saint?" Qian Fan looked at the old man Yang and said indifferently: "You said that the Holy Lord said that they are a disaster, then please invite the Holy Lord to come and let him tell me in person!" ”

"The old man doesn't dare!" Yang Lao immediately retreated, and Xiao Yu led people to carry all the rice and grain purchased before and distributed them to the people at the city gate, but those people looked at Yang Lao timidly, obviously afraid of the Holy Lord's will.

"What about the Holy Lord you want to invite?" Qian Fan looked at Elder Yang, and suddenly said with a smile: "Elder Yang, everyone is hungry, is it possible that the Holy Lord will not let the believers eat?" If we starve everyone to death, how can we accomplish our great cause? Could it be that you want to swallow the grain privately? ”

The eyes of those people suddenly fell on Yang Lao, as if they had doubts about this Yang Lao for the first time, and when Yang Lao saw this scene, he immediately said respectfully: "The Holy Maiden has compassion for the world, and the Holy Maiden Jin'an!" ”

When those people saw that Yang Lao had spoken, they immediately swarmed up, Wang Ming hurriedly led the government soldiers to maintain the safety of the people, and then began to distribute food, and it took a long time to completely divide it, and Qian Fan directly led the convoy into the city with a swagger in the cheers of the people.

Wang Ming arranged for them to stay, originally to hold a banquet in the palace, but was rejected by Nalan Minhao and others, so Wang Ming did not force it, but when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Qianfan.

"Lord Wang, don't you think you need to give us an explanation for today's events?" Qian Fan looked at Wang Ming and said lightly, "What happened in this Ming City?" As the parent official of Mingcheng, you must know best, right? ”

"The princess, the lower official really doesn't know, and I ask the princess not to embarrass the lower official!" Wang Ming said with an embarrassed face: "However, the lower officials still told you in advance that there is a curfew in Mingcheng at night, so please don't go out at will." ”

"Why can't you go out at night?" Xiao Bai'er asked strangely, "Who told you that you can't go out?" Many places are very lively at night, and there is no curfew in Huangyuan Country, right? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xia Guan has been warned by his elders not to go out at night since he was a child, but I don't know why, and later became a parent official, and he still follows this law, many times some things don't need a reason, but everyone does it, so naturally there is a reason, of course, there are also people who want to break the rules, but they are all dead." Wang Ming seemed to think of something terrible, and sighed and said: "Those people all went out at night, but they never came back, and they haven't seen them for many years, so no one dares to break the rules of Mingcheng's curfew after that." ”

"As you said, those people may have just disappeared, not died, and you haven't sent anyone to look for them, Lord Wang, so how can you say that they are all dead?" Qian Fan frowned and looked at Wang Ming and said: "Emperor Taizu respected the customs of your Mingcheng back then, so he agreed to let you select a candidate to participate in the imperial examination every year, even if that person did not win the examination, he would make an exception and let him return to Mingcheng as a parent official, in order to let you use the customs to make the people live a better life, but what we see today is that the people are yellow and thin, lack of food and rice, what is going on?" ”

"All the food of the people has been handed over to the Holy Lord, I have persuaded many times, but the people refuse to listen......" Speaking of this, Wang Ming seemed to sigh helplessly, then sat down, and said slowly: "Your lords don't know, the lower officials didn't realize that there was anything wrong with their lives before they went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, but on the way back from the capital, I told my scholar that I wanted to change the ignorant status quo of Mingcheng. ”

Wang Ming is a down-to-earth and hard-working person, so he knows that if he wants to change the hard life of the people, then he must let them stop believing in the holy lord, but he has never seen the so-called holy lord, so he doesn't know where to start, and he also met a few particularly knowledgeable friends outside, so he went back to Mingcheng together, ready to give it a go and do something for the people.

At that time, Qian Fan had just become the god of war in Huangyuan Kingdom, so the smartest scholar among them decided to create a new faith for the people, so they did a lot of things in private, secretly pasted all the portraits of Qian Fan on the doors of the people, or made up a script outside, and used the opportunity of trade to sing on the street......

The key is that they succeeded, and Qianfan became the most popular image of the saintess in the minds of the people except for the Holy Lord, but unfortunately, when everything was slowly improving, the people around Wang Ming suddenly died one by one, and the death was extremely miserable, everyone seemed to have experienced great pain, and Wang Ming knew that it was the Holy Lord who did it.

Because he was punishing them, these were the price they paid for breaking the rules, but what made Wang Ming the most strange thing was that the Holy Lord admitted that Qian Fan was a holy woman, and publicized it among the people of Mingcheng, of course, through Yang Lao, and that Yang Lao also warned him, saying that if the Holy Lord didn't see that he was the official of the people's parents, he would definitely not let him go.

Wang Ming thought about not letting the people donate food anymore, but those people were deep-rooted in their thoughts, and over time, Wang Ming was also extremely disappointed, and all the helpers around him died, including the scholar.

"I've paid so much to change the status quo in Mingcheng, but those people don't think I'm doing the right thing at all, why do you think I should help them?" As Wang Ming spoke, he suddenly wiped a handful of tears, laughed and said: "In order for them to be fed and clothed, all my friends have died, and my family has passed away mysteriously, I have thought about revenge, but I don't even know where the holy lord is, how do you say I should take revenge?" ”

"Do you really want revenge?" After listening to Wang Ming's words, Qian Fan suddenly Yang Mei said: "If I say that I can help you take revenge, but you want to help us, and it will be very dangerous, will you do it?" ”
