Chapter 24 Spread throughout Sichuan and Shu
The floating corpses of 10,000 people started from the Qingshui River, floated into the Jialing River, and then entered the Yangtze River, passing through dozens of villages and several county seats.
The news quickly spread throughout Sichuan and Shu along the river, and 111 county seats, 6 Zhili prefectures, and 14 prefectures in Sichuan and Shu were all in an uproar.
Those who learned the news all sighed: The world is turbulent, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, is it possible that Sichuan, a rare pure land, is also going to fall into the disaster of war?
The news spread from the prefect to the prefect, and finally gathered in the hands of the governor Mei Yanlong.
After getting the news, he was both angry and worried. The army that slaughtered 10,000 people at night existed, and he didn't even know it! It wasn't until everyone killed people and abandoned their bodies into the river that they were exposed.
He could only console himself - it was hard to say what was going on. On the other hand, he immediately sent people to the Sichuan border and the upper reaches of the Qingshui River to ascertain the situation......
Qingshui City, the inner courtyard of the county government.
The county magistrate Xi Zhiqian is entertaining the person sent by the governor to investigate the floating corpse incident - the governor's master Wan Haolin.
"Master Wan, please rest assured, of course I know the seriousness of this floating corpse incident! As soon as I received a report, I sent the dog to lead the team to investigate as soon as possible, and according to the time, it should be almost back, please take a break and wait for the dog to come back! ”
Wan Haolin nodded appreciatively: "Xi County's order really knows the general situation!" I visited all the way along the Qingshui River, and the other counties were all 'everyone swept the snow in front of the door and didn't care about the frost on the tiles of others', and they guarded their own one-third of an acre of land, and they didn't care about anything else. At most, send a few of his men to probe around. But those people are also as slippery as oil, how can they work hard for such dangerous things, that is, they just walk around the neighborhood and go back to pay errands. ”
Speaking of this, Wan Haolin sighed, "The order from above is perfunctory, and the execution below is naturally perfunctory." When I asked them about it, they either didn't know anything about it, or they just made it up. Xi County Ling was the first to send his son to personally lead the team to investigate, and he must not disappoint me! ”
Xi Zhiqian smiled as it should be, but he was secretly lucky in his heart, if it wasn't for Tianlei's own strong request, he should be like everyone else, just send a few people to investigate. This is also a regular practice, after all, he is only a county order, of course, he only needs to manage his own two acres of land.
At this time, a servant hurriedly came in and reported: "County Zun, Gongzi is back!" ”
Before the servant's voice fell, Xi Tianlei's excited voice came from outside: "Dad, I have found out this matter, you can't guess what is going on with your brain!" ”
The voice came from far and near, and the words fell, Xi Tianlei ran into the house in a hurry, and when he saw that there was actually an outsider sitting there, he suddenly felt bad......
Sure enough, Xi Zhiyan's face sank, and he reprimanded: "What kind of body is it to be so rude!" ”
Xi Tianlei lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Didn't I know that there were outsiders?" ”
Xi Zhiqian was furious: "Do you mean that it can be like this without outsiders? ”
Xi Tianlei didn't dare to speak.
Wan Haolin persuaded: "Ling Gongzi is also a true temperament, why don't we listen to the information he investigates first?" ”
Xi Zhiyan snorted coldly: "Say it, what's going on!" ”
Xi Tianlei lamented in his heart, how did he seem to have become a prisoner when he had a good opportunity to show his merits......
But I had to tell the story honestly.
It focuses on describing the strangeness of the villagers of Linshui Village at the beginning, and how he grasped a little flaw, broke through the silence of the villagers with a pull, and finally learned that the floating corpses were all the corpses of the rogues, and it was the ...... who killed more than 10,000 people God. How did he doubt it, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to go to the temptation, and finally was taught by God.
Anyway, in his mouth, he was simply wise and brave, both doubtful about the identity of the god, and cautiously cautious and cautious, and finally at the cost of a small injury, he tried to find out the result.
Xi Zhiqian and Wan Haolin are both old oilers in the officialdom, they have encountered a lot of things to add oil and vinegar and embellish the facts, so they naturally know that there is a lot of moisture in it, but they don't know how much water there is.
In their opinion, what Xi Tianlei said is so exaggerated, the water must be very large, what god kills 10,000 people in one night, what god's dwelling, all are decorations that they have never seen before, they must be deceitful.
If it was only one of them, he would have scolded him a long time ago and let him report it truthfully, but unfortunately now the two of them are scrupling about each other, and it is not good to question them rudely, but this is not difficult for them, and they will know when they call other people to ask.
One by one, they called eight catchers and listened to each of them tell a story.
Xi Tianlei secretly expressed his dissatisfaction, asked himself and asked others, isn't this a clear disbelief in himself!
Well, although I did modify it a little bit myself...... Facts, but in general there is no nonsense.
After listening to the statements of the nine people, Xi County Ling and Master Wan were surprised to find that what Xi Tianlei said was true! What god judgment kills 10,000 rogues in an instant, one. A palace was built in the night, and the flying sword and sword light passed through the body, and so on, they almost all said the same!
Is there really a god who came into the world? Or is someone pretending to be a ghost? If it's a ghost, how do you get these miracles?
Xi Zhiqian groaned for a while, and decided to ask Master Wan's opinion first.
"Master Wan, what do you think?"
Wan Haolin almost thought he was listening to myths, or ...... He glanced at Xi County's order and wondered secretly: "Could it be that they colluded up and down to deceive me?" In this case...... That is to say...... Is it in Qingshui County? ”
But then he dispelled this idea, although the world is in chaos now, but the territory of Sichuan and Shu is still very stable, just with his ordinary county order, how dare he do such a thing.
He pondered for a moment and asked Xi Tianlei, "Have you checked the floating corpse, are you sure it is the corpse of the rogue?" ”
Xi Tianlei replied: "It should be!" There are tens of thousands of weapons left behind by the villagers in Linshui Village, and the villagers of Jiangjia Village also said that none of the floating corpses in the river know each other, and they should not be from the vicinity. ”
Wan Haolin was silent, although it sounded like it was no problem, but it was too unbelievable, so he decided that he had to go and see for himself that god, whether it was true or not!
When Xi Zhiqian saw that Master Wan asked a question, he didn't say a word, and he knew that he was not going to express his opinion, and most of them would personally check the truth and falsehood.
He also asked a few questions at random, and then sent Xi Tianlei down.
Whether that God is true or not, it's trouble!
If that God is false, then how did He kill 10,000 people?
If it's true...... He remembered the story of Ye Gong Haolong......
