Then they found out that everything was as Zhao Hai said, these so-called ghosts and monsters were just made of some silk threads, human skins and dolls.

"Brothers, it's just a trick, how can we be deceived by these things!"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, simply ridiculous! I have been in the army for so many years, and I have not been intimidated by the Huns, but I was frightened by a few puppets, and it is really a shame to say it! ”

"I'm mad at me! Kill me! Slaughter all these pretending to be ghosts! ”

Zhao Hai rode a horse and stood behind everyone, standing quietly watching the soldiers' ghost eradication actions.

He sighed and said, "These magicians are very harmful. ”

"These people really deserve to die!"

"Han Ying, I ask you, are these people behind the scenes all the people in the rivers and lakes under Liu Yuer?"

Han Ying said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, after the investigation of the minister, the people under her command do have this type of warlock. ”

"Your Majesty, there is also the fact that among the royal family and clansmen, the impact of this matter has been very bad, and all kinds of rumors that are unfavorable to Your Majesty are now flying, please ask Your Majesty to make it clear how to deal with it?"

Zhao Hai pondered for a long time.

He knew that among them, I am afraid that there were people from Concubine Chen and the Ten Kings, who took the opportunity to play right and wrong, fanned the flames, and wanted to use this to stigmatize Zhao Hai's imperial power and destiny.

If they are allowed to continue to do it recklessly, it will inevitably cause panic and dissatisfaction among the greater number of people.

After Zhao Hai thought about it for a short time, he thought of a way, "Spread my will, immediately let everyone go hunting and collect rotting animal carcasses, not too much, just more than a thousand catties." ”

"In addition, gather the relatives of the emperor who came to participate in the Taishan sacrifice this time, as well as the generals in the army."

"I'm going to show them in person what the so-called ghost fire is all about."

Han Ying's face was abrupt, and he didn't quite understand what Zhao Hai meant by going to find the animal carcass, but he still did it.

Almost an hour later.

One after another, soldiers came to report their achievements and clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Wang Zhan came to report and said: "Your Majesty, all the ghosts have been killed, there are five or six hundred in total, and the other party has put a lot of effort into scaring us. ”

Zhao Hai nodded, and now there is no such gloomy atmosphere as before.

Only the scattered ghost fires are burning, which is not easy to deal with.

The haunted incident, which lasted for most of the night, finally came to an end under Zhao Hai's strong intervention.

But the impact of this incident was only eliminated in the army.

For those dignitaries who are naturally pampered, the legends and phenomena of ghosts keep them from sleeping well all night.

Now the whole Mount Tai is full of people who are panicking.

Finally, the first rays of dawn before dawn shone on Mount Tai.

A red sun rises from the east, illuminating the whole land and bringing light to the world.

At this time, a cleared open space near the altar of Mount Tai was full of animal carcasses.

Coupled with the hot weather in mid-August, many animal carcasses have decomposed and grown maggots at this time, and they emit a fishy smell that attracts many dignitaries to cover their mouths and noses.

Zhao Hai stood calmly on the high platform and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, last night's haunting has been quelled. ”

"I think everyone should know."

"Last night's ghost was not the work of demons, but just a few villains."

"Have you seen it, what is the thing General Wang is holding in his hand?"

Everyone looked at Wang Zhan in unison, only to see that he was holding pieces of fake puppets and various silk threads in his hands.

Zhao Hai paced with his hands and said: "The so-called ghosts are full of shadows, and ghosts harm people, but they are just tricks of the warlocks. ”

"They had the craftsmen make the puppets in advance, and then lay them on Mount Tai in advance, and when the night came, they would operate the puppets with silk threads."

"Coupled with the howling of some people, this can create a scene of ten thousand ghosts asking for their lives."

"This is just some little tricks on the rivers and lakes, it's not worth mentioning, everyone, they've been deceived."

"If it was really ten thousand ghosts asking for their lives, shouldn't I be the first to ride the crane west last night? Why did I rush over first, but I was unscathed? ”

Seeing these ironclad evidence, coupled with Zhao Hai's lively appearance, everyone basically believed Zhao Hai's words.

But there are still ministers who stand up and raise doubts in their hearts.

That is, how to explain these beating ghost fires at night? I'm afraid this thing is beyond the reach of man.

Now in the depths of the woods, there are still ghost fires burning, how to explain all this?

The minister expressed the worry in his heart, and Zhao Hai naturally couldn't ignore it.

Zhao Hai did not answer his words directly, but swept the crowd below, and then said, "Come on, bring me the red-hot charcoal fire." ”

"No."

Han Ying took matters into his own hands and led people to put pots of charcoal in front of Zhao Hai.

Even from a distance, everyone can feel the high temperature coming from the charcoal fire.

Zhao Hai continued to order, "Place charcoal fires around the carcasses of these animals. ”

Han Ying led people to do so, without frowning the whole time.

Neither the decomposing corpses, nor the foul smell, made the tough guy flinch.

As Han Ying finished doing this, the surrounding ministers began to discuss, not knowing what Zhao Hai was going to do.
