Chapter 306: The Plague Grows and Smells
Although Li Yi said Zheng Zheng, several people still doubted what Li Yi said.
However, in the talisman technique taken by Li Yilu just now, they still have a trace of respect in their hearts.
"Daoist, since you have calculated that there will be a plague in Sizhou County, have you calculated what kind of plague it is?"
Another of the three, a lean man in a fine suit, asked.
This person is also the same as the son surnamed Yan, who is the son of an official eunuch.
It's just that his family is not as strong as the Yan family in this Sizhou county.
"Don't speak!"
Li Yi just said three words lightly.
But there is no difference between what he said and what he didn't say.
"Does the chief have any other hints?"
The man in the short shirt asked.
"Don't leak it!"
Li Yi is still concise and to the point.
"Daoist, you can't say this or that, how can we find it!"
At this time, everyone secretly speculated whether Li Yi was deliberately deceiving everyone, otherwise why didn't he say anything.
"I know that everyone is wondering if I am deliberately deceiving everyone, but in fact, I am also very helpless, after all, the cause and effect of this matter are too great, and once I say something that should not be said, I will be damned."
Li Yi put on a look that he was also embarrassed.
"What can you say, Chief?"
The young man in the Confucian shirt was already a little impatient at this time.
He originally felt that what Li Yi said was very mysterious, but now Li Yi still refused to say the joy related to the plague.
"In that case, I will also fight to make up another hexagram for the people in this Sizhou county!"
As he spoke, Li Yi took off an accessory from his waist.
Originally, everyone didn't care about Li Yi's accessory hanging from his waist, but now they found out that Li Yi's accessory turned out to be a turtle shell carved from white jade.
The small white jade turtle shell looked warm and white, and the surface had been shiny with oil.
Li Yi picked up the white jade turtle shell, and then took off three small copper coins from the pendant.
This copper coin is much smaller than the copper coin that everyone usually uses.
Li Yi stuffed the copper coin into the white jade turtle shell, and then pretended to pray to the Quartet, and then began to shake the white jade copper coin in his hand.
With a crisp sound, he poured down the white jade turtle shell in his hand, and the copper coin in the turtle shell fell on his right hand.
Then he placed the coin in his hand, and began to pinch his fingers and read it silently.
And all of his actions were watched by everyone.
Just as everyone was looking anxiously expectant, Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and then spoke to everyone.
"The trouble is in the northwest, and the plague is smelly!"
After saying this, Li Yi suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, and then pretended to cough.
And when he let go of his hand, everyone found that there was a hint of red at the corner of Li Yi's mouth.
However, he pursed his lips tightly and then held his hand tightly, which in the eyes of everyone, it was completely Li Yi who was punished by God for forcibly divination.
But what they didn't know was that Li Yi was holding a small leather bag in his hand at this time, and the so-called blood was just a red dye hidden in the skin bag in advance.
Just now, Li Yi just took advantage of pretending to cough to put the skin bag in his mouth with his hand and then bite it.
"Trouble in the Northwest? How much does the plague smell? This calamity is easy to understand in the northwest, but what does this plague mean? ”
The brocade-clothed boy frowned and began to think seriously.
"Could it be that this so-called Duowen refers to a person's name?"
The young man in the Confucian shirt guessed, and then everyone's eyes focused on Li Yi's body.
"Don't ask me, I'm afraid I won't live long."
Li Yi immediately waved his hand and said.
"But there are so many people in this Sizhou county, even if we know that this is in the northwest of the city, it won't help!"
Uncle Zhuang said with a sad face.
At this time, he had already regarded it as his duty to stop this plague, and he thought that this was probably a test for his son.
As long as his son-in-law can handle this matter well, he can successfully ascend to the immortal.
"Yes, since we can't find it, why don't we inform our respective families to flee from the city immediately, and then even if the plague breaks out, we will all be safe and sound!"
The young man in fancy clothes came up with his own idea at this time.
However, as he finished speaking, he found that Li Yi was staring at him with a cold gaze.
And the young man in gorgeous clothes immediately felt a chill that pierced his bones, and he couldn't help but feel that all the hairs on his back stood up.
"Although I don't know what you think, I can tell you clearly that this matter is related to the lives of the people of a city, if you abandon the lives of the people of this city and ignore it, then even if you can escape from the city, such a great cause and effect, you will feel that you will be punished by heaven."
Li Yi spit out a mouthful of "bloody" thick phlegm towards the ground.
His words also made everyone else shiver.
They still believe very much in the theory of heavenly retribution, after all, the Dayu Dynasty often used Taoist stories to educate the people for the sake of social stability.
And in these stories, all the wicked will always be punished by heaven, and the end will be bleak.
"Smell is not a person's name!"
Just when the atmosphere was a little depressing, the man in a short shirt suddenly spoke.
"What?"
The others all looked at the man in a short shirt in confusion.
"I mean, Du Wen is not a human name, it is the name of a gang, Duowen Gang!"
The man in short combat said with a serious face at this time.
"Smell the Guy!"
Everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize, and at this time they all remembered this not very gang.
Most of the people in Sizhou County, who are all about these gangs, know something.
And the reason why everyone knows this gang is completely because the gang members of this gang are also a cancer in Sizhou County.
They do everything they can to kidnap and deceive them on weekdays, and they also bully the people in the city from time to time.
It's just that the boss of this Duowen Gang is a very good person, and he has always bribed high-level officials in the entire Sizhou county with a lot of money.
Therefore, whenever they commit a crime, all the people in the government will avoid the serious, punish them lightly, punish the Duowen Gang, and then let them go, so their reputation among the common people is extremely poor.
Over time, the people generally choose to avoid the Duowen Gang when they encounter the helpers.
"It turned out to be their group of brutes, this kind of person does bad things on weekdays, and it is normal for them to retribution."
The young man in the Confucian shirt said with a look of disgust.
"But although they deserve the plague, these people in the city are innocent!"
Yan Gongzi, who was dressed in brocade, spoke.
"Yes, how innocent are the people of this city!"
The man in short combat also spoke, as a person at the bottom of society, he has a natural sense of closeness to other people at the bottom.
Therefore, he did not want anyone to suffer this unwarranted calamity.
"Now that we've determined that the source of the plague is from the Duowen Gang, let's go and arrest all the Duowen Gang now."
The young man in fancy clothes immediately spoke.
"That's right, I'll go back and gather people now to control all the people of the Duowen Gang."
Yan Gongzi, who was dressed in brocade, also said immediately.
Immediately, everyone responded.
But just when they turned around and prepared to act, they found that Li Yi had disappeared.
Although they were not sure whether the plague was true or false at this time, based on Li Yi's performance just now, they had already decided in their hearts that what Li Yi said was true.
In fact, at this time, Li Yi had already squeezed into the crowd again and hid in front of a burly man.
When he saw that all of them were hurrying away, a smug smile appeared on his lips.
At the same time, he is still very satisfied with his performance today, although his ability to pretend to be a ghost is not as good as his master, but it is far from being comparable to other charlatans.
"If you want to help you, ask for more blessings!"
Li Yi then squeezed out of the crowd and muttered to himself as he walked.
Before, after Li Yi confirmed the identity of Zhong Duoqian at the city gate, he decided to pit Duowen and help him ruthlessly.
As for this gang, he had actually heard about it long before he went up the mountain.
He even spent some time in the Duowen Gang, and strictly speaking, he was also a member of the Duowen Gang.
It's just that he is different from Zhong Duoqian in that he was forced to be helpless, and he was forcibly controlled by the people of the Duowen Gang.
At that time, he was very young and thin enough to enter places that adults couldn't enter, so the Duowen Gang restrained him and told him to steal.
However, because Li Yi was taught by his parents since he was a child, he was unwilling to do this kind of thing, which angered the people of the Duowen Gang.
In the end, he was beaten by everyone and threw out the Duowen Gang, and Li Yi, who was covered in injuries at the time, almost starved to death on the street.
He was lucky enough to meet an old beggar, who was also a kind-hearted man.
Every day, he gave a part of the food he begged to Li Yi to eat, and he was cured under the care of the old beggar.
However, the old beggar died of illness not long after.
The young Li Yi finally fell hungry on the side of the road, and happened to be rescued by Liu Yu, who was going down the mountain at that time, and finally he was able to worship under the gate of the Guigu Valley.
Therefore, this experience is unforgettable for Li Yi.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Yi chose Zhong Duoqian as a target as soon as he met them.
Thinking of the tragic encounter of the Duowen Gang next, the corners of Li Yi's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.
On the other hand, Mu Junhe successfully met the county guard of Sizhou County after revealing his identity.
"I don't know what Mu Daxia is doing when he comes to my Sizhou county this time?"
In the face of Mu Junhe, the attitude of the county guard of Sizhou County was lukewarm, and he couldn't see any emotions at all.
"Elder Yan, I came to Sizhou County this time to repay your kindness for me in the first place."
Mu Junhe looked at the old man with white hair in front of him and said respectfully.
Although he had nothing to do with the old man in front of him, Mu Junhe had to respect him.
I think that he angered Emperor Shengheng because he refused Emperor Shengheng's invitation, and finally Emperor Shengheng issued an order to arrest Mu Junhe.
In this case, the other ministers were all silent, and only a few people wrote to the emperor that Emperor Shengheng had done something inappropriate.
Among these ministers who wrote the book, there was Yan Junheng, the county guard of Sizhou County.
Although in the end, Emperor Shengheng did not pardon Mu Junhe because of the letters of these ministers, but this kindness Mu Junhe always kept in his heart.
"Humph! Don't give me this set, I just thought that Your Majesty was doing something wrong at the beginning, so what do you have to do with it! ”
Yan Junheng didn't appreciate it at all, but just said coldly.
"Yan Lao's life-saving grace is real, Junhe is unforgettable in this life!"
"Okay, don't pretend to talk to me here, tell me honestly what you're doing in Sizhou County?"
Yan Junheng squinted at Mu Junhe and asked.
"Elder Yan has already said just now, this time I am here to repay the favor."
"Stop beating around the bush and just say something!"
Yan Junheng said coldly with a straight face.
At this time, Mu Junhe knew that if he didn't tell the story again, he was afraid that he would be driven out of Sizhou County by Yan Junheng.
"Yan Lao came to Sizhou County on a tour today, but when he entered the city, he was stopped by a young boy, and I had to give him some money under his entanglement, which was not a big deal, but when I gave him the money, I found that there were red acne on his face and arms······
Mu Junhe said the remarks that he had discussed with Li Yi before.
"Red pimple?"
Yan Junheng was already frowning when he heard this.
"That's right, it's a red pimple, and he has it on his face and arms!"
Mu Junhe hurriedly added another sentence.
"Are you sure it's a red pimple, and it's all on your face and arms?"
At this time, Yan Junheng's brows had been completely twisted into Sichuan characters.
"It's broken! It's broken, I'm afraid it's going to be over! ”
At this time, Yan Junheng sat back in his seat, and he muttered to himself.
As an old man in his 60s, Yan Junheng has encountered smallpox outbreaks twice in his long 60 years of life.
As a result, he knew much more about smallpox than the others, and he himself had contracted smallpox, so he knew better about the suffering of his descendants.
He had watched his relatives die one by one, so smallpox was a nightmare in his heart that he didn't want to be talked about.
"What you said is true?"
Yan Junheng's expressionless face had completely become serious at this time.
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a thing!"
Mu Junhe swore an oath, but he apologized to Yan Junheng in his heart.
But in order to save the lives of the people in this city, he had no choice but to make up this lie.
If he told the news that the grassland tribe army was about to be killed at this time, according to Yan Junheng's temper, he would definitely swear to defend the county seat of Sizhou.
