Chapter 964: Strange
When I got closer, I realized why they thought this sacrificial procession was strange. It was obviously a joyful tune, but there was no smile on the faces of these people, and there was even some panic.
The sheep was tied upside down on all fours and hung on a wooden lift, and the closer it came to the pier, the more terrible it became, as if it were spiritual.
When the team reached the dock, they threw the sheep into the water amid the surprised and angry expressions of the locals, and then ran away without looking back.
Yes, ran. The people in the sacrificial procession didn't know if they were afraid or something else, and they ran away.
It's a farce.
"This ...... It's a sheep! Wei Yaoqing rubbed her eyebrows, looking at the panicked expressions of those people, she couldn't help but look at it with yin and yang eyes, and she didn't dare to blink her eyes, for fear of missing something. But when I looked at it, I saw that the tears were about to fall, but what I saw was still a sheep.
"Hmm." Pei Zongzhi replied and said, "They are so scared, I thought they were people!" ”
Actually, she thinks so too. Wei Yaoqing was even more puzzled: Since it is a sheep, what are you afraid of?
Just thinking like this, I saw that the water on the surface of the river, which was still calm and vast, suddenly surged, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the lake, and the fishing boats and painting boats that used to be fishing on the water surface avoided all around, obviously this is not the first time this kind of thing has been encountered.
In the center of the whirlpool, something strange gradually appeared, and at first it was impossible to see what it was, but gradually, as the water became more and more gentle, the thing that was gradually drifting towards this direction became clearer.
The five flowers are tied up, and the puffiness soaked in the water is clearly a person.
The closer you go, the clearer it becomes, and you can even see that this person is dressed like these boatmen, which boatman should be.
It was obviously not the first time that the official messenger had encountered these things, and several officials walked to the dock, waited for the person to float closer, and hurriedly scooped the person up with a bamboo pole.
It is noteworthy that the man's legs and feet were tied to a wooden lift, exactly the same way the sheep had been tied.
"This man has been dead for at least a few days." The merchants have traveled a lot from south to north, not blindly, and with some knowledge, some people can't help but cry out, "What do you mean by the river god here?" Does that mean this man is the sheep? Bluffing people is not like that. ”
It scared them out just now.
Then Zhao Zhutou rolled his eyes and looked here: "You don't know when we don't know?" So I'm going to keep you! ”
The speaker opened his mouth, eager to give himself two mouths. This is digging a hole for yourself! I can't go even further.
I said...... Zhao Zhutou, since he knows that this river god is fooling people, hurry up and tell the people, the people in the province are panicking. The left and right sides also dug pits for themselves, and a few merchants didn't care anymore, and continued, "The situation just now is strange and scary, I really don't let this 'river god' be frightened, and I will be frightened by your people here." ”
It's really scary, scary!
"Use you to teach our government to handle cases?" That Zhao Zhutou obviously didn't have a good temper, roared, and scolded, "Go back to the boat, it's okay to come down and move around!" ”
A few talkative guests discussed it boringly, and silently went back to the ship.
At this time, there was nothing to see, and without paying attention to Liu Fan, Wei Yaoqing and Pei Zongzhi returned to the cabin. When she returned to the cabin, Wei Yaoqing took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote on the small table.
"What are you going to do?" Pei Zongzhi sat on the soft couch beside him, his brows furrowed, obviously thinking about something.
"Secret report to Your Majesty." Wei Yaoqing thought for a while and said, "There is a problem with the government here. ”
This incident, especially Fang Cai's sacrifice, really scared her, but when she thought about it, she found the strangeness in it.
The people watching the government seem to be suppressing this matter, but what did they do? The fact that the sacrificial sheep became human is full of flaws, why not say it? The people were terrified but not appeased, but let it go, as if they didn't think so, but let it go everywhere. Perhaps, in other words, there will inevitably be two voices in one thing, the people obviously believe in the "river god", and the government is on the opposite side. It is unreasonable to have evidence everywhere in your hands, but you don't mention it at all. What's even more unreasonable is that the government that doesn't believe in this matter can obviously invite the Yin and Yang Division to give a conclusion, but it is too strange to hide it for a long time.
Although those merchants talked a lot, what they said was very reasonable, but Zhao Zhutou, who clearly didn't believe it, responded with abuse.
The sentence "Go back to the boat" is obviously Zhao Zhutou who doesn't want those people to say more.
"It's easy that the old gentleman won't show up for no reason." Wei Yaoqing's subordinates are flying like a pen, "Mr. Yi is admittedly not a good person, but he is very concerned about the situation of the Jianghu Warlock, I actually have some vague speculations, but there is still a lack of evidence." ”
Pei Zongzhi was silent for a moment and said, "If Your Majesty wants to send people, you must ask Your Majesty to bring more people." ”
Wei Yaoqing's hand holding the pen paused, and then smiled: it seems that his guess coincides with what he thinks.
At night, a secret report departed from Linjiang City and reached Chang'an.
……
……
"Shan Yu, what did you just say?"
In the camp tent of the Huns, Chen Shuo drank three rounds, looked at the wise tooth master sitting at the top with a slightly red face, and asked.
The wise tooth master put down the wine cup, looked over with a smile, and clasped his fingers lightly: "I said, forget if the Great Heavenly Master doesn't want to come, anyway, we barbarians will live like this without the guidance of the Great Heavenly Master." I can sign this and the war letter. ”
Chen Shuo was overjoyed, and the wine disappeared by three points: "Shan Yu is really a person who keeps promises!" ”
Hearing the words "the person who keeps promises", the wisdom tooth master laughed and nodded again and again: "Of course! Didn't you Han people say that a gentleman has a promise? ”
Chen Shuo nodded hurriedly.
The wisdom tooth master held his forehead and sighed, "However, I have a reluctant request, I wonder if the adult can agree?" ”
"Shan Yu, please speak." Chen Shuo blushed, patted his chest and said, "A gentleman is a promise." ”
Several officials standing behind Chen Shuo clenched the knives in their hands and looked at Chen Shuo in front of them expressionlessly, with a faint look of disdain in their eyes.
"My biological mother is also Han Chinese, and she is very interested in everything about you Han people......
Chen Shuo couldn't stop nodding, his head was drunk, his head was a little faintly painful, and he only heard the scattered voice of the wisdom tooth master ringing in his ears.
“…… I beseech your majesty to lend me five cities, and return them after five years, that we may also taste the rice...... Not only can the war letter be signed, but there is no problem with no time limit......"
