"Master Fan, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yunbo, the county commander of Xilin County, was full of ruthlessness between his eyebrows, and snatched the thousand-mile transmission note in the hands of the county officer.

"Please ask the Southern Patrol Town Governor to enter Wushan to control the water, is it necessary to mobilize the people so much?"

Fan Zhenquan's voice came from the notes of Qianli Chuan, "Lord Zhao, controlling the water is not a small fight. ”

"This matter will inevitably require a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to be successful."

Zhou Jize, the county magistrate of Qutang County, sneered,

"Human, material and financial resources can be provided by my three counties, and the three of us allow you to ask for help, as long as the Southern Patrol Town Fu Si sends a few officials from the Ministry of Industry, it is enough to complete the water control!"

"Is it possible that Lord Fan wants to take this opportunity to encroach on the land of my three counties?"

Wei Hongkui, the county magistrate of Wuling County, signaled the county to retreat first, and said to the Qianli Transmission note,

"For hundreds of years, the imperial court has tried countless methods, but none of them have succeeded."

"Once you act rashly, you must be prepared to be eaten by luck."

Fan Zhenquan said helplessly, "Three adults, it's too much of a fuss. ”

"I'm just for the people of Osan County."

"The three adults should have a better understanding of the situation in Osan County."

"In all fairness, the current three counties of Wushan County alone are not enough to deal with the floods."

"I hope so......" Zhao Yunbo and the three of them snorted coldly, and then threw down the thousands of miles of transmission notes and strode away.

On the cloud boat,

Fan Zhenquan put down the thousand-mile transmission note in his hand, and smiled helplessly at Li Changan,

"Your Excellency has also heard it, and the three county magistrates regard any outsider as if they were beasts of prey."

"If it weren't for the fact that the flooding was too severe, I wouldn't have agreed to let outsiders in."

Li Changan nodded.

Although the conversation just now was simple, the meaning was self-evident.

It seems that this trip to control the water may not be as smooth as imagined.

"Lord Fan might as well tell me about the situation in the three counties of Wushan County now." Li Changan said, "Just now, Lord Fan didn't seem to have much hope for the three counties of Wushan. ”

Fan Zhenquan sighed lightly, "Speaking of Wushan County, I have to mention the people here. ”

"It was only when I came here three years ago that I deeply saw how stupid the previous officials could be."

"They listened to the words of the three county orders, even to the point of blind obedience."

"The three counties of Wushan County began to worship the Yanshui Dragon God twelve years ago, that is, in the third year of Shengchang."

"A small sacrifice on three days, a big sacrifice in January."

"It takes a lot of time just to sacrifice, and the people of Osan County are miserable, but they are still obsessed with worshipping the dragon god."

Li Changan raised his eyebrows, "Worship the Dragon God?" ”

As soon as Fan Zhenquan mentioned the word dragon god, he unconsciously looked serious.

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the three county orders poured into their respective people."

"It's okay to worship the dragon god tablet on weekdays."

"What's really incomprehensible is the monthly festival."

Li Changan leaned forward slightly and motioned for Fan Zhenquan to continue.

Fan Zhenquan took a deep breath, "The monthly festival is a joint sacrifice of three counties. ”

"Xilin County produces the god of the cow, Qutang County produces the god of sheep, and Wuling County produces the god of pigs."

"This is the highest standard of the Taigao sacrifice." Li Changan's heart jumped, "Now, only the royal family is available." ”

"These three county magistrates dare to sacrifice with the rites of the ether prison every month?"

Fan Zhenquan shook his head, his voice mixed with a hint of bitterness, "It's not just like that." ”

"The monthly ritual of sacrificing to the dragon god, in addition to the prison, there must be nine pairs of ......"

"Nine to what?" Li Changan looked over.

"Nine, nine pairs of ......" Fan Zhenquan seemed to be unable to bear to speak, but under Li Changan's forced gaze, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Nine pairs of boys and girls!" ”

"Three pairs from each county!"

Boom!

Li Changan's breathing instantly stagnated, and there seemed to be countless thunderbolts falling in his mind.

Nine pairs of boys and girls!?

What kind of absurd sacrifice is this?

It was sacrificed with a living man, and it was a virgin!

Li Changan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated.

Shocked, puzzling, absurd...... There is also a killing intent rising from the bottom of my heart.

The three county magistrates should be dragged out and beheaded just by carrying out such sacrifices.

"Once a month, there will be such a sacrifice?" Li Changan asked.

Fan Zhenquan's eyes also flashed a trace of unbearability, "Yes, once a month, never stop." ”

"And at the beginning of each year, there's an even bigger sacrifice."

"The number of prisons has doubled, and the boys and girls have ...... The same is doubled. ”

The more Li Changan listened, the more angry he felt, "Those people didn't resist?" ”

"They don't take human life seriously, and sacrifice boys and girls, do those guys still have a little bit of humanity?"

Fan Zhenquan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Adults think too much. ”

"The people of the three counties will even have more children, and if they are selected to become the best boys and girls, each family will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

"Moreover, these boys and girls were chosen at birth, and the people did not have to bear the burden of food, clothing, and daily life."

"Therefore, the people of the three counties do not think it is harmful, but proud."

Li Changan looked at Fan Zhenquan in disbelief.

But Fan Zhenquan's affirmative appearance made his heart suddenly fall into an ice cave.

Human sacrifice, and a living human sacrifice on such a scale.

Not only did no one object, but they even fought for peace.

Just thinking of such a scene made Li Changan unable to help but stand on end.

These brutes really deserve to be killed!

Fan Zhenquan continued, "They think that after sacrificing to the dragon god, they will be able to adjust the wind and rain. ”

"It is true that in the first 11 years, the harvest in the three counties of Osan County was good, and there were no major floods."

"But this year, things have taken a turn for the worse."

"Yanshui is really like a dragon god turning over, and the big floods are wave after wave, and Wushan County can't support it at all."

"They all said that the dragon god was angry, but the sacrifice was more religious."

Li Changan couldn't find a second word to describe it except for absurdity in his heart.

Is this really the brain that a normal person should have?

But such people are not one or two, but the people of the entire three counties.

It's going crazy!

……

After Zhao Yunbo, Zhou Jize, and Wei Hongkui left the yamen of the county town, they looked at each other deeply, and then separated.

Xilin County Cheng followed closely behind Zhao Yunbo and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you want to continue our sacrifice?" ”

The fierceness in Zhao Yunbo's eyes flashed, "Prepare immediately after you go back." ”

"It can't be delayed any longer."

"This time, there is no need for the three families to sacrifice together, my Xilin Zhao family will sacrifice separately, if the dragon god can be introduced into Xilin County, my Zhao family's future is unlimited."

And this kind of dialogue also appeared in the other two.

Zhou Jize instructed the county magistrate of Qutang County, who was following him, "Prepare according to the specifications of the New Year's Festival...... No, it's higher than the New Year's Festival. ”

"The number of cow gods, sheep gods, and pig gods has tripled, and the number of virgins and boys and girls has tripled."

"As long as the dragon god can be introduced to my Qutang County, Qutang County will be the land of dragon prosperity in the future."

"What's this sacrifice?"

Wei Hongkui took one last look at the backs of the two families leaving, sneered and shook his head, "These two guys definitely didn't think of anything good." ”

"We have to hurry, and we must not let them get ahead of them."

"This is the first time that I have sacrificed alone in Wuling County, and we must not make mistakes."

"Is the levee built?"

The subordinates beside him hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, my lord, just wait for the sacrifice to begin, and the embankment will be completely closed." ”

"Once the dragon god enters Wuling County, it will be impossible to escape!"

"Good!" Wei Hongkui's eyes flashed, "After I go back, I will start the sacrifice immediately!" ”

"It has to be done before a new flood comes!"
