Chapter 16: Don't Believe in Ghosts and Gods King Wengong!
Under the mountain, Huo County.
"Chen Tu, are you sure that no one from this Wang family has been here since that day?"
At the mansion of Master Wang's family, an old man in regular clothes walked around the mansion of Master Wang's family, and even stepped into this mansion several times, and then frowned and spoke slowly to the respectful middle-aged man behind him.
The color of depression between the old man's eyebrows lingers, but he can act and speak, but he has his own demeanor of dominating the world.
"Lord Yuguo, the lower officials are enough to confirm that no one has ever come here in this Wang family's mansion except for the servants."
"The officials were shocked, and they also knew that the Wang family had a grudge with the gods in the mountains, so they naturally didn't dare to break in at will. Even if it were those puppets, if it weren't for the subordinates forcing them to come in, those puppets wouldn't want to enter the royal mansion at all. ”
"You didn't see the scene of that day, Lord Guogong, a white rainbow ran through the sun, the figure in the white rainbow spit flames, and a stick of incense didn't take time for this Wang family's mansion to become like this."
Behind the old man known as Guogong is a respectful middle-aged man, and this middle-aged man is the county order of Huo County.
Even though more than a month has passed, just thinking of that day, Chen Tu, the county magistrate of Huo County, still can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Especially afterwards, when Chen Tu sent people to watch the Wang family's mansion, whether it was those who had been working for years or the county blacksmith, they all bluntly said that the fire burning on the Wang family's mansion was by no means an ordinary fire.
In less than a stick of incense, the entire mansion manor was turned into scorched earth, and even the copper, iron and porcelain in the house were turned into flying ashes. According to the blacksmith in the county, this kind of flame is definitely not owned by the world, and it is probably a divine fire controlled by a god man.
"Those residents in the county knew that the Wang family had offended the gods in the mountains, and they were even more afraid of having something to do with the Wang family, so they naturally didn't dare to come."
"As for those strong men who come and go, even if they come to this Wang family's mansion, no one in this county will know."
The county magistrate Chen Tu wiped the cold sweat on his neck, and faced the one in front of him, I am afraid that there are few officials in the Great Song Dynasty who are not in awe.
People of insight respect this King Shu, although those high-ranking families are eager to eat his flesh, they don't dare to risk the world's disapproval!
"That means that more than a dozen mouths of this Wang family also turned into ashes in one day with the fire?"
This is the old man surnamed Wang, named Anshi, the word Jiefu, and the number Banshan, alias Wang Wengong, and Mr. Linchuan. It is the most hated person in the world in the past 50 years and the most admired person in the world.
During the Xining period, this one lived among the temples and set off the mighty reform of the Great Song Dynasty.
There are even rumors in the countryside that the current official family has changed the era name to miss this Wang Wengong. Although Wang Wengong no longer performs his duties in the temple, after returning to his hometown, he is still named the Duke of Shu.
As for Wang Anshi himself, he got the secret order of the current official Zhao Ji half a month ago.
In the secret order, it is said that there are unicorns in Guishan Mountain, and gods and men are born, so please Wang Wengong to take a look at the clues. If it is indeed a man of God, please also ask Wang Wengong to meet on his behalf, and listen to the words of the man of God about how it is today and what the Great Song Dynasty should be.
Regarding the theory of gods and ghosts, Wang Anshi's attitude is the style of a standard reader, and he is silent and strange.
After all, this Wang Wengong said that the heavens are not afraid of change, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid of the law, and the words of people are not enough to sympathize with the existence of such shocking words.
But at this moment, Wang Wengong just frowned.
He looked at the mansion in front of him, even if more than a month had passed, he could still see how terrible the fire was that day.
The blue bricks on the ground cracked, the porcelain in the house turned into flying ash, and even the gold, silver, copper and iron hidden in this house were all turned into molten iron and inlaid on the ground, and even the water from several wells in the house was all dried up.
"It should be so true, after all, I entered the mansion, but I didn't see anyone in this mansion survive, not even the bones, most of them turned into ashes with the cremation."
Chen Tu naturally knew what Wang Anshi was investigating, even if he died in the fire, people would still leave traces.
But there is not even a single wreck in this royal mansion, and it is no wonder that Wang Wengong became suspicious after observing this.
"You also read the books of the sages, don't you really believe in the sayings of gods and ghosts in this world?"
Wang Anshi frowned, he was a little displeased, the county commander behind him Chen Tu insisted that there were gods in the mountain, and he didn't believe that the fire in the Wang family's mansion was such a simple matter.
"Lord Guogong, it's not that the sage book of the lower officials has read in vain, and it is not that the lower officials have to believe in this god and ghost."
"But there are unicorns descending from the mountains, and there are gods and men emitting immeasurable light, but they are seen together in several counties near Guishan."
"Compared with other counties near Guishan, there are more than 60,000 people in this Huo County, all of whom have seen the white rainbow volley with their own eyes, and there are figures in the rainbow to control the wind and fire."
"With all these things, how can the lower officials not believe it?"
Chen Tu also knew that the person in front of him didn't like the gods, but he just smiled bitterly at the moment.
If he offends Wang Anshi, at most he will not be reused, if he offends the gods in the mountains, he will have to live in fear in the future.
Da Song also said that there are gods three feet above his head, and he has seen the gods in the mountains with his own eyes, and God knows if this god can listen to him.
According to that person's actions to the Wang family, Chen Tu didn't dare to bet that person was a generous person.
Wang Wengong in front of Chen Tu listened to the words of the county order, and his brows furrowed more and more. The reason why his change was interrupted was largely because the Great Song Dynasty suffered a natural disaster at that time, so he was crowned by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee as a heavenly change.
It is precisely because of this that the famous saying that the sky is not enough to change, and the ancestors are not enough to law.
Born in such an environment as the Great Song Dynasty, it is naturally vain to say that he disrespects ghosts and gods.
This trend is spreading from top to bottom, and they are even born with the family telling them to fear ghosts and gods.
However, Wang Anshi had a lot of complaints about this ghost and god because of his failure to change the law, and in his later years, Wang Anshi would rather read through the Buddhist classics than read a few more Taoist classics. This is extremely unusual in the Great Song Dynasty, which is very popular.
"Great, sir!"
That is, when Wang Wengong frowned and looked at the Wang family mansion in front of him, there was another messenger in the distance who was panting and trotting towards the Wang family's mansion.
Just looking at the sweat on the face of this errand officer, I know that this errand man may have something urgent.
"What's the panic, didn't you see the adults here?"
"Calm down, let's talk about what it is, if it's a trivial matter, today this official has to punish you for the crime of colliding with nobles!"
When Chen Tu saw this errand who came at a trot, his instinct was to reprimand with a straight face. And although cold sweat continued to drip from the forehead of this errand officer, he still tried to calm down.
After a full dozen breaths, this errand officer spoke respectfully to Wang Anshi and the county commander Chen Tu.
"Nobleman, Lord County Commander, the Yellow Demon in the mountain has descended the mountain!"
"Before I came to tell the nobles and your lordship, the Yellow Demon had already walked to the city gate."
"Huang Demon Yan said that he had been ordered by his own Xiaolangjun to invite the most noble person in the county to meet ...... on the mountain."
After the errand officer straightened his breath, he said everything in one go, especially when he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but put his eyes on Wang Wengong over there.
It was also until this moment that the county commander Chen Tu saw that the legs of this errand officer were clearly trembling.
And after listening to this bad man's words, Wang Anshi not only showed an interested look on his face, but only showed a sneer. Then this Wang Wengong shifted his gaze to Chen Tu, as if to confirm something.
You must know that Wang Anshi has only been in Huo County for two or three hours since he came to Huo County, and he has only been in this Wang family mansion for two incense sticks.
But it's only such a short time, and the people in the mountains seem to know that he is in the county, and they even sent that yellow demon to invite him into the mountain to meet?
At this moment, Wang Anshi firmly believed that the birth and birth of the unicorn in this turtle mountain, and the birth of the god was just a forgery of auspiciousness by this magistrate. Even this matter, most of them are inseparable from the county order Chen Tu in front of him.
The county commander Chen Tu is also an officialdom elite, Wang Anshi's eyes swept over, and Chen Tu also guessed what this Wang Wengong thought.
But at this moment, Chen Tu can't take care of the Shu Guogong in front of him, this newcomer probably doesn't know what the Yellow Demon is, but there are many strongmen in his county, so he naturally knows what the Yellow Demon in the mountains means.
"That yellow demon, that yellow demon didn't eat people, right?"
Chen Tu seemed to have been rotten at this moment, and he ignored the suspicious gaze of Wang Anshi beside him, and just asked the poor person in front of him in a slightly trembling voice. He also understands why this poor person is fighting in two arms, and whoever sees the demon is probably also behaving like this!
Chen Tu just knew that there was a yellow demon in the mountain, but he had never really seen this yellow demon behave like this, let alone be a bad person.
However, Chen Tu's performance is related to the nonsense of those Jianghu guests in the mountains.
In the mouths of those Jianghu guests, regardless of whether they saw the old yellow dog or not, they just made up the words that this yellow demon was three feet tall and full of fangs.
Chen Tu was shocked by the nonsense of those Jianghu guests who didn't dare to enter the mountain.
"When I came, the Yellow Demon was only at the gate of the city, but I ran all the way and heard a frightened cry from the west of the city. I think the Yellow Demon has already entered the city, as for whether it is cannibalism or not, it is not for the villain to know......"
The messenger lowered his head, never saw the sneer on the nobleman's face, but just said what he knew.
"Lord Guogong, don't you question this mountain ghost and god? Do you dare to go on this journey with this official? ”
Chen Tu listened to the words of the poor man, and he was also frightened in his heart, but when he was frightened, he couldn't help but be surprised. He also thought of what the messenger said, the yellow demon was ordered by Xiao Langjun to go down the mountain to find the most expensive person in the county to meet in the mountains.
And now, isn't this most noble person by his side?
If you go with the one next to you to see the yellow demon, presumably even if the yellow demon is a cannibal, he must remember his own Langjun's order, right?
"Why don't you dare?"
"Yellow Demon?"
"I want to see who dares to call himself a demon, and dare to do cannibalism in this bright blue sky and daylight!"
Wang Anshi looked at Chen Tu, the first county commander in front of him, and felt more and more that the other party was playing tricks. He also wanted to take a look, to see what the county order and the officials around Turtle Mountain were planning!
