Chapter 972: Coming
These two people are not ordinary magnates, or it can be said that they are not passing magnates, but they want to meddle in Linjiang City.
Er Mang sighed, but he did not reject the two of them.
"The river god sacrificed or something, and a lot of people died, right?" Wei Yaoqing said.
Er Mang nodded: "There are dozens of them, to say the least." This is also the reason why he does not reject it, if there is really a "river god" or something, then ask those heavenly masters of the Yin and Yang Division in the capital to come and take a look, if not, then find out who is pretending to be a ghost behind his back. On the one hand, the government said that it was a person pretending to be a ghost, but on the other hand, it couldn't find out anything, so the act of not believing it and not finding out the reason made everyone believe that the "river god" was causing trouble, because of the attitude of the government, it was not to invite people to come and take a look.
"The county magistrate is not allowed, but don't you who do business on the river invite some Jianghu warlocks to come and take a look?" Wei Yaoqing said.
Er Mang sighed again and again: "Although I haven't looked for it, the boss of the ship did invite a well-known warlock from another place to come over, but the warlock only came for one night, and he was going to see what was going on the next morning, but he was sent back by the river god early in the morning of the second day." Because of this, people who would have been skeptical about this matter have believed in the 'river god's troubles. ”
When he said "send back", he should mean that his hands and legs were tied to the wooden lifting and sent back, Wei Yaoqing nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"After all, our Linjiang City relies on the mountains and the water, and we have never heard of such a thing in our lives by relying on the Linjiang River, and we suddenly came out, and we didn't believe it at first." Er Mang said, "Seeing that this 'river god' is so powerful, I'm a little scared." ”
This time, he forgot to sacrifice when he traveled, and as a result, a boatman died, which made Er Mang, who was still a little suspicious of the "River God" in his heart, fully believe in the existence of the "River God".
"Then let's talk about our Lord Lin!" Wei Yaoqing didn't continue to ask questions about this matter, and instead turned the topic to Lin Shitong, "What kind of person do you think Lord Lin is?" ”
"It's nothing special, there are no major events happening in this place on weekdays, and there are trivial things." Er Mang said, "Lord Lin is not a corrupt official, but he can't say how powerful he is. ”
"The mean." Pei Zongzhi spit out two words on the side.
Er Mang nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, it means the mean." ”
"When was Lord Lin's house built?"
"Let's come later!" Er Mang thought for a while and said, "I didn't pay attention either." ”
"The location of his door is different from that of other houses, and you didn't pay attention?" Wei Yaoqing glanced at him and asked.
Er Mang laughed twice and said, "That's not in the way of others, Lord Lin likes it himself, can I still manage it?" I heard that Lord Lin was in order to handle the case conveniently, and the place where the county government handled the case was in the backyard, so he changed his position so that he could easily enter and exit. ”
"Where's the red lantern?" Wei Yaoqing said again.
Er Mang didn't know what was wrong, but he felt a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, not that he was weak-hearted, but that this girl asked so quickly, it seemed that she had a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, but every time she asked something, she didn't know why she always felt that something was not right when she thought about it, and it was not quite right to revolve around Lord Lin, so I didn't want to do it!
Er Mang was frightened, he didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "It's hung up after the river god's thing came out, after all, there is no reason for this river god to sacrifice to the dead, and then I don't know who said that the red lantern was hung to ward off evil spirits, and the faster it spreads, the red lantern is not worth a few dollars, and even the county government and Lord Lin have hung it in their homes, and everyone has hung it up." ”
Wei Yaoqing smiled: "Is that evil spirit?" ”
Er Mang said: "There are still one or two unlucky ones who died, and hanging a lantern doesn't get in the way, so I let him go." After a pause, Er Mang said again, "Other than that, it seems that there is nothing to do with the county commander." ”
Wei Yaoqing only said, "I'll call him again if there's something," and let him go back.
The rain kept falling, and when it was approaching evening, the steward of Lao Xiangtai knocked on their cabin door again, and after giving a salute, he said, "Great Heavenly Master, people are here, do you want to go and see?" ”
Before she could agree, Pei Zongzhi took out an oil-paper umbrella from her baggage, opened it and walked out with her.
Following the steward of Lao Xiangtai to the deck, in the hazy drizzle, a ship no less than the Juque was heading this way.
"This is a cargo ship transferred from other places by my Xie family, and the shipwrights and merchants on it are all our people."
Wei Yaoqing looked up at the pot-bellied steward and praised: "Old lady Xie is really generous!" ”
The steward touched his stomach with a smile and said, "I have been instructed from above, I must cooperate with the Great Heavenly Master to do things, and the Great Heavenly Master will just give orders." ”
The river surface was rippled by the rain, and the Linjiang River in the rain was very beautiful with the smoke and rain of Qinhuai, she glanced at Pei Zongzhi beside her and silently withdrew her gaze. Without the intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river, she watched the cargo search ship coming this way, and as the two ships got closer and closer, the figures standing on the bow of the boat holding an oil umbrella became clearer and clearer.
At a glance, I found two familiar shadows in it.
Cui Jing and Wang Xu.
Stunned, Wei Yaoqing understood, thinking that it was Anle's lack of manpower, the last time Jinan tasted the sweetness, this time the old trick was repeated.
Wei Yaoqing raised her hand and waved at the two of them.
The two people didn't wave at her, she looked at Pei Zongdao beside her: "Why is it also from the Cui Wang family, and I don't know how to return the salute, it's really rude, isn't it?" ”
The smile on the face of the steward of Lao Xiangtai paused, and then became brighter and brighter: their Xie family is still very polite, and they can't find anything wrong.
Pei Zongzhi said: "It may be invisible. Cui Jing and Wang Xu don't have internal strength, so their eyesight is far inferior to them.
"Then forget it, I don't remember the villain." Wei Yaoqing stood on the deck with her hands and watched the ship approach, and only when Lao Xiangtai's steward raised her hand to salute did she nod to the few people who stood on the deck and bowed to her.
Several adults standing on the deck were all dressed as wealthy merchants, especially Cui Jing and Wang Xu.
When the two boats were in parallel, Wang Xu walked to the position directly opposite her and said, "I thought I wouldn't see you for a while, but I didn't expect to meet again." There was some helplessness in his tone. She had only been away for a few days, no wonder her grandfather was scolding her before he left, 'The Great Heavenly Master is the Great Heavenly Master, and there are really many nobles!' And if there is anything, it is generally not a trivial matter.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty invited you over." Wei Yaoqing spread her hands and looked innocent, paused, but also smiled, looking very satisfied, "But inviting you people to come over also reassures me a lot." ”
"Don't worry, but Wang Situ is not at ease, let's stay away from you." Cui Jing suddenly said loudly.
Wei Yaoqing also smiled disapprerovitously: "Old lady Wang has always been so duplicitous, I understand." ”
Lao Xiangtai's steward tilted his head to the side, not daring to let her see the smile on his face: the boss specifically mentioned in the letter that the old lady Wang said that although this great heavenly master is young, his face is not thin, and now he really sees a few points.
