Chapter 11: Playing the game

Just do it, Yunshan sent the two sisters of the Hu family down the mountain to spread rumors, and asked the old lady of the Bai family to disguise the body as if she had just died, and finally asked the Huang family to send someone to follow Ma Zhi County.

A big drama is brewing under the operation of these mountain and wild monsters. Foxes are good at demagoguery, and two pretty little girls will always attract people's attention and make them perfect for them.

However, after half a day's work, there were people everywhere in the county's market teahouses talking about Ma Zhi County's greed for money and killing the eunuchs sent by the imperial court to collect ginseng.

Huang Pizi acted quickly and had a bright brain, and secretly followed Ma Zhixian for a day, the old thing got up after three poles a day, two middle-aged women knelt and waited in the hall, one was that the daughter was raped by the son of a rich merchant in the county and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and the other was a bad wife who was divorced, and the woman in the Qinglou entered the house.

In the two cases, Ma Zhixian was just a simple question and a hasty punishment, he said that the girl who committed suicide was a prodigal, said that the woman in the Qinglou was a poor woman, reversed black and white, and returned to the back hall after sending the two women.

Last night, the rich merchant and the man who ransomed the woman in the Qinglou had already brought a few silver ingots to say hello, Ma Zhixian never put the money in the money bank, it was always hidden under the bed, he made a big wooden box under the bed, and he and his concubine slept on the money bed every day.

After nightfall in the second half of the night, Yun Shan and the son of the old lady of the Bai family sent the body to the county magistrate's house together, and the scene was ready.

The thousand-year-old ginseng on the mountain turned into a little doll, and rushed to the governor's yamen before dawn, crying loudly while tiptoeing the drum, which of course attracted the attention of the yamen, and the officials saw that it was a pink child, wearing delicate silk clothes, so they concluded that this must be the child of a large family, and naturally did not dare to drive away, so they had to wake up the governor to ask.

"I'm scared...... Master Ma killed someone......" said the ginseng doll crying, intermittently, and the governor's wife felt pity and held him in her arms. After coaxing for a while, the ginseng doll calmed down. Tell me what happened.

He introduced himself as the youngest grandson of the Yun family, six years old this year, and went out to play with his wet nurse at night, and saw a lot of butterflies flying around in Mazhi County's house, so he ran in to play.

It is strange to say, it was almost autumn at that time, where did so many butterflies come from? He followed the butterfly into the hollow incense cabinet in the Zhixian house, and then he was gagged, and he saw Zhixian and his concubine discussing how to dispose of the corpse.

They carried the body out and buried it in the back garden. When he saw the two of them leaving, he wanted to go home, but his father taught him that he had to report to the official when he encountered a murder, and he couldn't report to Mazhi County, so he could only run to the governor's yamen overnight.

The governor Yamen was suspicious of this matter, and he had also heard of Ma Zhi County, although he was not a good official, but he must not have the courage to kill. This kid may not be telling the truth.

The governor's wife was convinced of the words of the ginseng doll, how could the child lie, he had run so far over, his shirt was already soaked, he must have been terribly afraid.

The governor's wife felt pity for the child in her heart. If you want to say that this governor is also a good official, a small favor of a few dollars will sometimes be accepted by his wife behind his back, and when someone comes over with a silver ingot, he can only give his wife an idea. Speaking of which, this is the strict wife control of the Qing Dynasty.

The lady arranged for two carriages, one for her to personally send the child home, and the other for the governor to go to the magistrate to have a look. The governor also thought that if this matter was true, he must not be able to shield Mazhi County.

What happened next was exactly as Yun Shan expected, the official dug up the bodies of two people in the backyard of Ma Zhixian's house, the outer clothes of those two people were ordinary, but the shirts inside were only used in the palace.

The governor saw at a glance that this was the father-in-law from the palace, and the governor immediately reported that Ma Zhixian and his family were all pressed into the prison, to say that this matter should have ended here, and they should also stop and return to the mountains to continue cultivating.

But it was also because the governor's wife, since she sent the little doll away, had been thinking about how the child was. The governor's wife was also a lady before she left the cabinet, how could she come to the door empty-handed or bring some irrelevant things.

She specially asked her uncle to find He Xiuniang, who was very famous in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and asked her to make a dress for the child.

But after arriving at the Yun family's mansion, the governor's wife was stunned, there was no big mansion there, a desolate land, and there was not even a small earthen house. The governor's wife asked her neighbors, and they all said that there had never been a house here.

The governor's wife returned in disappointment, and the ginseng doll watched all this from the mountain, and he looked at the governor's wife's lost eyes, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. So he couldn't help but dream to the governor's wife and told her what had happened.

It's okay not to say it, after saying it, the governor's wife spread it everywhere, saying that she had seen the immortals, and the immortals appeared to get rid of the big corrupt official Ma Zhi County, and the people spread ten to hundred, and finally they all knew about the remote ginseng heads.

The more the matter spread, the more evil it became, and the governor's wife even raised funds to build a mountain temple for Yunshan and them, he was the mountain god of this mountain, and they guarded the happy life of the people on this side.

In this way, Yun Shan and their wild immortal friends were worshiped as gods. To say that it was a troubled time at that time, and it was also a good time for these wild immortals to go out to cultivate, if they wanted to say bad things, it was also bad in this troubled times. They have always been able to get along in harmony, and the villagers have a little bit of a big and small matter, and they will go up the mountain to seek the help of the mountain god, although the mountain god is not responsive, but in most cases he can still help the villagers.

Until 30 years ago, a group of Japanese came to the county seat, they were men and women, they didn't look like the people who were fighting outside, and they were very generous to the villagers. Those who were reluctant were also bought by money.

They chose to live in the mountains behind the crowd, the villagers did not understand, but the wild fairies on the mountain hated these people, they tied up all the local hired people, opened their brains alive, did something they could not understand, and then stitched them up.

Wait until the person recovers and repeat until the person dies. They have been known as mountain gods for more than a hundred years, so it has become their habit to protect the people.

They could not allow the people to be humiliated by these foreigners. They tried to pretend to be ghosts to scare away these Japanese, but they didn't expect that among those people there was also a Japanese onmyoji. They suffered heavy losses.

"After that, we kept fighting with that Onmyoji, and eventually they were driven away, and we were left with only the old, weak, sick and disabled. What the villagers are asking us to do, it is becoming more and more difficult for us to do. They no longer trust us, the older generation has died, and the new generation believes in the Communist Party and the new China. Especially in the last ten years, no one has come to this temple again. Yun Shan trembled and picked up the teacup, obviously reluctant to mention what happened later.

People are always like this, when they talk about glorious history, they talk about painful things in one stroke.

"I didn't expect that. Mo Xun listened, and his heart was not a good feeling.

Mr. 100 years old shook his head and said: "He has not had incense offerings for all these years, and fighting with the Japanese onmyoji has damaged the Tao again, if he goes back to the deep mountains to cultivate, he will not be like this now." But he didn't listen. ”

Yun Shan hammered the table and retorted with a little anger: "Why don't you blame me for not listening, how do you say I should go back! How many people starved to death in this troubled world? I am not cultivating for myself, I am for the common people." ”

Mo Xun didn't speak, and felt in his heart: This old man still has this consciousness? He stopped me just to tell me that he wanted to save the common people?

Mr. 100 years old glared at Yun Shan and said, "This is the attitude you have when you ask for people, and you don't even say a word of truth?"

Yun Shan also glared at Mr. Centennial, and said to Mo Xun flatteringly: "It must be my duty to save the common people, but now I can't go anywhere, my body has been cut down." I just want to go out and get revenge. ”

Mo Xun was not surprised, he was seriously injured in order to protect the villagers, but the villagers injured his body, and he should want to take revenge. "You know what? You can be reincarnated as a human if you do so many good deeds, but not necessarily if you kill someone. Mo Xun advised.

"You misunderstood, I didn't want to take revenge on those villagers. Yun Shan straightened his face and looked at Mr. Centennial.
