Chapter 974: Back then

At that time, the prefectural order obviously did not repair the embankment and dig a groove to treat the flood like ordinary people, but invited a "sir", and specifically mentioned inviting "sir", and it was not an ordinary method to think of it.

"That year, Linjiang City flooded, the county commander invited a local well-known 'sir', that 'sir' said to sacrifice to the river god, the entire Linjiang City even if prepared rich sacrifices, pigs, cattle and sheep and other things were thrown into the Linjiang River, the sacrifice lasted for seven days and seven nights, thrown into countless sacrifices, to the seventh night, the continuous heavy rain finally stopped, the river receded, and the entire Linjiang City returned to its former vitality." The teahouse owner hurriedly said the matter, and then apologized politely, "I didn't think of this before, it was the negligence of my subordinates, but this incident happened for too long, and there was no accident, so I didn't think about it." ”

"It's that the teahouse never talks about it, so you don't remember it!" Wei Yaoqing said on the side, "After all, this matter is too smooth, not exciting enough, not twists and turns, there is nothing to be desired, and the listeners don't like to hear it." ”

The teahouse owner nodded with a wry face and said, "Indeed...... Indeed it is. ”

"The Xie family sent you here to open a teahouse, but they didn't really let you do business." Wang Xu shook his head and said, "The teahouse business is not worth much compared to Lao Xiangtai, for what you know very well, don't reverse the priority, how can you even forget such an important thing?" ”

The boss nodded again and again to admit his mistake.

Wei Yaoqing didn't come to listen to him admit his mistake, but when he heard the words, he just thought for a moment, and said, "Who died in this matter?" ”

"There are people who die from floods." The teahouse owner thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, it seems that something unusual did happen. ”

The crowd listened as he continued.

At that time, there was a family surnamed Yu in Linjiang City, the family started a bookstore, and with some money, he opened a private school.

The invited "gentleman" said that he wanted to sacrifice to the river god, but the owner of the Yu family somehow took the lead in opposing it, saying that "the son is silent and strange and confused" or something, and said, "If there is really a god, then it should also be blessed by the people, and will not be asked".

When an official heard this, he said: "The hearts of the Yu family are still good, but they are a little too straight." He didn't say anything, and he naturally didn't dare to mention it in front of the Great Heavenly Master.

However, the young Great Heavenly Master obviously didn't care, and nodded when he heard this, and said, "If it is really a god, then it should indeed be to protect the people, not to ask for it, this sentence is reasonable." ”

The owner of the teahouse said: "The owner of this Yu family has a really straight personality, and when the government ignored him, he rushed out on the day of the sacrifice and hit his head on the ground and died on the spot." ”

"That's really...... Too rigid and easy to break. Wang Xu shook the folding fan in his hand and judged.

"Not only the master of the Yu family, but even the whole Yu family is a tendon, every day the sacrifice comes to make trouble, until the seventh day of the sacrifice, the flood is solved, the whole city is celebrating, but at this time the Yu family jumped out to refute everyone, and the people sneered at the behavior of the family......"

"Think the Yu family is making a fuss?" Wei Yaoqing raised her eyebrows.

The teahouse owner nodded: "Yes, the matter is solved, not everyone likes to seek the end, the family is still troublesome, the people in the city began to alienate the family, but half a month later, someone saw the Yu family jumping up and down the river, and when they were rescued, everyone died, and then nothing happened, so it was over." ”

"The temperament of the Yu family is not very pleasant to most people!" Some officials sighed.

The teahouse owner said: "Yes, such a person is not pleasant, and there will be nothing to do afterwards, so this matter will soon be settled." ”

Wei Yaoqing said again: "Do you know where the Yu family's private school and bookstore are located in the city?" ”

The teahouse owner shook his head: "I don't know, but I think it should be a good location, after all, those who want to study in private schools and bookstores are all families who have some money to send their children to study." ”

"For example, next to the yamen?" Wei Yaoqing said.

The owner of the teahouse turned pale with fright, and stammered, "Can ...... Possibly! ”

The other officials in the cabin were puzzled, so Wei Yaoqing explained with a smile: "Lord Lin did not live in the mansion, but bought the vacant land next to the mansion and built a house. ”

"What did the open space next to the government do?" Someone asked.

"There is no mention in the county annals, and I have not found the ...... of Linjiang City Gazetteer from decades ago"

After all, it's just a small city, and most people don't pay much attention to a small city.

"After the flood is resolved, how does the whole city celebrate?" Wei Yaoqing asked the teahouse owner again.

The owner of the teahouse was a little stunned, and said after a while: "I guess it's like a festival to set off firecrackers and hang lanterns or something!" This question is too detailed, how can this celebration be celebrated? Who's going to write that in the message?

"Like in the city now?" Wei Yaoqing pointed out of the cabin.

The teahouse owner's face was as white as paper.

Seeing that his expression was not right, everyone squeezed to the small window of the hatch and looked out.

It was not yet completely dark when they entered the cabin, but it was completely dark at this time, although the rain was still falling outside, so that it was hazy outside, but the more so, the more conspicuous the red lanterns became, and at a glance, like flames, lit up the whole city.

Lively, festive, like a festival.

Obviously chatting and talking about things, there is a great heavenly master in the cabin, a descendant of the actual temple, it stands to reason that there are these two people, and no demons and monsters dare to come forward, but this is the case, it still makes everyone feel creepy.

"Can you still find the genealogy of the Yu family?" After a moment of silence, Cui Jing spoke up.

Wang Xu glanced at him and said, "If it is really related to this Lord Lin, then even if there is one in the county, there should be no more." ”

"The previous prefectural magistrate may know a little." Cui Jing thought for a moment.

Wang Xu hesitated for a moment and looked at him: "That was also five years ago, and there are a lot of trivial things in the county order, and not everyone can remember the things in the county chronicle." ”

After all, there are few people who will never forget.

"Forget it, it's unintentional to keep talking." Wei Yaoqing stood up as she spoke, straightened her robe and said, "It would be better if I could meet this Lord Lin tomorrow morning." ”

She still remembered the "powerful" person who lived in the mansion, which even she was ashamed of. Take a hundred times to read the latest chapter of "Heavenly Master's Upper Rank Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
