Chapter 270: Sending the Locust God
Taiyuan Prefecture, Yangqu County.
A Taoist priest wearing a blue robe, holding the three mountain recipes in his hands, holding a bowl with three fingers, the bowl contains grains, and the bell is in one hand, ringing in three steps.
Behind him, more than a dozen Tsing Yi Taoists, holding long flags, marched along both sides of the road.
Behind is followed by eight strong men, carrying a large grasshopper made of straw on their shoulders, three incense sticks lit on their heads, and their bodies are covered with red.
The street is full of people, their hands folded, and they can't stop chanting words, and the firecrackers on the street are crackling, so it's not lively.
"What are they doing here?" Qin Yu asked Liu Che, who was following beside him.
Liu Che, who was covered with cloth bags on his body, shook his head and didn't know, at this moment, he just wanted to put down all the cloth bags on his body and the cloth bags on horseback.
Galloping day and night, Liu Che was already quite tired, plus there were ducks in the cloth bag, and the ducks were scattered in the cloth bag, this taste was simply amazing!
"They're sending the locust gods!" Huo Guang couldn't help but speak out when he heard Qin Yu's words.
The right cavalry guard added a hundred people to the Qing battalion, and they were divided into four teams, each team needed to bring a thousand ducks, and I didn't know what Sun Ji thought, so he directly stuffed Huo Guang into the hundred people of Qin Yuqing's camp.
When the place was really assigned, Sun Ji didn't really embarrass Qin Yu and the others, and it may be that he didn't dare to make things difficult for Qin Yu and the others, after all, they were carrying out the orders of the imperial court, and only let Qin Yu and the others come to the nearest Taiyuan Mansion.
"Locust God?" Qin Yu also smiled when he saw the big grasshopper being carried, this skill is really good!
"If the locust god can be sent away by them, I'm afraid I won't need to wait for me to come over day and night."
Huo Guang didn't talk, but called a nearby official who maintained order, and said to him: "I came on the emperor's order, and quickly called the governor of Taiyuan Mansion to come over." ”
Qin Yu and the others' team of nearly three hundred people, they have seen it a long time ago, and many people in this team are one person and two horses, and they are armed with blades, if they were not all wearing military uniforms, and the adults above also greeted them, this kind of armed force would have caused a riot a long time ago!
Now that he heard Huo Guang say this, it can be regarded as a complete confirmation of their identity, and the official who was called did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and after a few words with his companions, he ran away.
Qin Yu and the others were like spectators, watching the procession of sending the locust god on the street.
For them, this kind of scene is also the first time they have seen it.
The procession of sending the locust gods slowly walked towards them, and the Taoist priest who walked at the front waved his hand at them with a bell in his hand, signaling them to give way to the Tao.
Qin Yu and the others couldn't move, after all, close to three hundred people and horses were blocked here, even if they were well-trained military horses, they couldn't fiddle with them as much as they wanted, so the way to give up was really limited.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please give way to the road, I am waiting for this to send the locust god away, if the time is missed, I'm afraid... Not so good! ”
The Taoist priest in the blue robe saw that Qin Yu's group of men and horses did not give way to the road, so he could only remind him out loud.
In the face of a group of soldiers, he didn't dare to provoke too much.
"I'm so sorry! There are more people and horses, and there are not too many roads to come, so you can squeeze through! Qin Yu said slightly apologetically, but there are more of them, and if they want to let out the entire street, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it for a while.
When the Taoist priest in the blue robe heard what Qin Yu said, his face turned grim, and he stopped at his feet, and said to Qin Yu: "This soldier, what you pay attention to when you send the locust god is a sincerity!" If the locust god still has to act according to people's faces, how can he talk about sincerity? And how can you send it away? ”
"Time waits for no one!"
"If you really can't get out of the way, then please ask all the soldiers to exit the street, so that the locust god can pass!"
Qin Yu smiled hesitantly, feeling that this Taoist priest's words and tricks were really a set!
Let? It must not be allowed!
Just now, Huo Guang had already called someone to inform the Fu Yin of Taiyuan Mansion to go, if they left now, I am afraid that the Fu Yin who was called over would have to pounce!
Although they were ordered to come, it didn't mean that they were the ministers of the Qin Mission, Henan Mansion Yin was the official position of the fourth official, and among their group, Qin Yu's official position was high, but his official position, in the rank of the fourth person, was the same as a fledgling boy!
They can call the governor of Taiyuan Mansion to come over, and that is because of the imperial orders they execute, whether it is the governor of Taiyuan Mansion or ordinary people, they must obey!
It's just that whether they can really instruct Taiyuan Mansion Yin to do things, it depends on whether Taiyuan Mansion Yin is willing to do it!
The emperor is far away, and the county officials are not as good as the current management!
"We're waiting for someone here, and we can't let it go for the time being. Besides, the straw-woven grasshopper you are carrying will turn sideways and squeeze over, and it will not delay you anything! ”
Qin Yu's attitude was quite good, and they really didn't have much to do in this matter.
If it is according to Liu Che's temperament, I am afraid that he will directly show his identity and directly oppress people with his identity!
They definitely have a set of ways to deal with this kind of ordinary people! And no one would be so good at talking to people who were more than one rank lower than them!
"That's the locust god! You're blaspheming! "When the Taoist priest in the blue robe heard Qin Yu call the locust god 'grassy', his face immediately changed and he scolded loudly.
The look of apology that Qin Yu had on his face just now disappeared in an instant.
He is also a court official, he doesn't want this group of Taoists to kneel and salute him, it's already good, and now he is being reprimanded!
It just doesn't make sense!
Just before Qin Yu could speak, the Taoist priest continued to speak, saying, "Delay the locust god out of the city, the locust god is unwilling to leave, can you afford this great disaster?" ”
"Grass!" Hearing this kind of words about buttoning a hat on someone's head, Qin Yu cursed in his heart.
Isn't this kind of thing something he often puts on other people's heads?
The people on both sides of the street heard the Taoist priest in the blue robe say this, and they all started to talk about it, but because Qin Yu and the others were too large and powerful, and they were in the imperial army, they didn't dare to make too much noise.
The dissatisfaction with Qin Yu and the others in their words, even if they were just whispering, was enough for Qin Yu and the others to hear.
"Can't let it go! No matter how much nonsense you, I'm going to let you meet your ghost-like locust god! ”
Qin Yu spit out a sentence coldly, listening to what those people said, if he can still be kind and pleasant, it can only mean that his city is as deep as the sea!
"You... You..."The Taoist priest in the blue robe was obviously also angry with Qin Yu, and the hand holding the bell kept pointing at Qin Yu, and the sound of the bell was chaotic.
"Don't shake the broken bell in your hand! It's annoying to listen to! Qin Yu listened to the sound of the bell a little dryly, and couldn't help but speak.
"People, someone wants to stop the locust god from going out of the city! They want everyone to die! The Taoist priest in the blue robe was angry by Qin Yu's words just now, and the next moment he suddenly began to shout.
"What? Who will stop the locust god from going out of the city? ”
"Raised by a son of a bitch, who dares to stop it, whose life will Lao Tzu?"
"It's such a time, which one of them won't let us live?"
"Who dares to let us live?"
"Please be kind, we still have to live!"
The words of the blue-robed Taoist priest instantly ignited everyone's anger!
If the locust gods can't send them away, then they won't survive!
Since they can't live, who cares if they die now or in the future? Anyway, before you die, you must pull a cushion!
Huo Guang was watching the drama at the beginning, in terms of position, and in terms of wanting revenge, it was impossible for him to speak up for Qin Yu, but in just a few dozen breaths, things changed rapidly, even if he wanted to stop it now, he would definitely not be able to stop it!
Facing the people who were already faintly moving forward, and there were many people, Huo Guang didn't dare to wave the long knife in his hand at them, but he was afraid that this group of people who were going crazy would suddenly do something to them!
This kind of place where there is not enough space to move is definitely a nightmare for their cavalry!
"Captain Qin, let's hurry up! Otherwise, this crowd will eat us! ”
I am afraid that it is not very good to control the people, so Huo Guang can only let Qin Yu bow his head.
Qin Yu naturally saw the reaction of all the people, the back road has been surrounded, as long as these people are rushing up now, I am afraid that they will be flat if they are cured!
Time waits for no man!
Qin Yu could only take advantage of the fact that these people had not yet made a move, to stabilize the situation, so as not to be killed by this group of angry people.
"Huh! Good for you! Dare to instigate the people to besiege the court officials! How daring! Someone! Take down this demon dao! ”
As soon as Qin Yu's words fell, Zhong Manzi and Liu Erniu jumped off their horses, and with a stumble, they pressed the Taoist priest in the blue robe to the ground.
The people who had already surrounded them, seeing Zhong Manzi and Liu Erniu taking down the people so simply, and hearing Qin Yu claiming to be an official of the imperial court, were afraid of the official's thoughts in their hearts, so they couldn't help but pause, and they didn't dare to step forward.
"This official has been ordered by the imperial court to come to quell the locust plague! Such demons are here to confuse the public, and it is not a pity to die! You are all the people of the court, and when you have not made a mistake, this official will give you a chance to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame this official for being ruthless! ”
Taking advantage of the fact that all the people were bluffed, Qin Yu struck while the iron was hot, and almost sentenced the Taoist priests present to death.
It seems that what he said to this Taoist priest before was not what he said!
"You talk nonsense! You're spewing blood! When the Taoist priest in the blue robe heard Qin Yu say this, he immediately shouted, and even wanted to struggle to get up.
"What nonsense is this official? What a big dog guts! Qin Yu shouted loudly, not giving all the people time to think at all.
"This official still asks you, did you demon Dao collect a large amount of silver taels for this trick of sending locust gods? If the locust god exists, then it is a god! Why did God use mortal silver? ”
"Since you have collected a large amount of silver taels, it is nothing more than to take away all the silver taels afterwards and fill your pockets! As for whether you can send the locust god away, what does it matter to you? What does the life and death of the people of Taiyuan Mansion have to do with you? ”
"You have a great deal of money, where will you go? The world is so big, how much grain can't be bought with money? How much drinking water can't be bought with money? ”
"All kinds of things can be bought with money, how can you be the same as the people of Taiyuan Mansion?"
"This official said that you are a demon, did you still wronged you?"
