Chapter 34: I Don't Agree with This Family Business!
After a while, the guard came back and explained in a low voice: "It seems that a military attache from the Hearsay Division led people to gallop and almost collided with Shi Gongzi's car, and Shi Gongzi was catching him and scolding him." ”
Li Zhen said: "The military attache is riding a horse, if it is not arrogant, it is an emergency military situation, then who is Shi Gongzi, why dare not forgive?"
The guard said: "Master Ma, Shi Gongzi is the son of the Taifu Qing family. ”
Li Zhen said: "It turns out that he is still a man with roots, let him go, invite the military attache to come and talk, remember to be polite." ”
Seeing this, the ninth princess couldn't help but ask Li Zhen in confusion: "The people of the Persona Division?"
Li Zhen said: "Recently, the Incense Affairs Bureau and the Strange News Division have had some contacts, so if you can help, you can help." ”
On the official road, Zuo Zhongliang was caught and scolded by Shi Gongzi, and he couldn't get away for a while, and he gradually became a little impatient.
Suddenly, the crowd separated, and several Hao slaves in brocade clothes came out with a big man in a big shape, and said to Shi Gongzi, who was scolding him: "Shi Gongzi, you are blocking my master's way, get out of the way." ”
Shi Gongzi added fuel to the fire when he heard this: "What, give way? I don't ask who this son is!"
The attendant was very eye-catching, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Childe, it seems that something is wrong, I have seen this person, and he is the head of the nursing home of the Horse Mansion." ”
Shi Gongzi was even more angry: "Horse Mansion, which Horse Mansion? Just kidding, is Lao Tzu still afraid of the horses?"
He said this with confidence, under the royal city, there are powerful people everywhere, who is not a relative of the emperor?
"Uh, it's Li Juma......"
The scolding stopped abruptly, and Shi Gongzi seemed to have been stepped on by the ball, and he was deflated on the spot.
Horses and princesses are indeed nothing, and they are also the magnates of these secular dynasties.
However, the celebrities under the powerful ancestors are not easy to mess with.
Shi Gongzi's heart brightened, and he clamped his tail at the moment.
"It seems that you know who my master is, so hurry up. The head of the courtyard listened to the conversation between their master and servant, and didn't bother to say anything, turning to Zuo Zhongliang, "And this hundred households, my master has an invitation." ”
Zuo Zhongliang hesitated, and the colleague next to him reminded: "Baihu, these people are either rich or expensive, it's not easy to offend, let's go and have a look." ”
Zuo Zhongliang said: "Okay, you go first, and I'll come when I go." ”
When Zuo Zhongliang approached, Li Zhen had already gotten out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Zuo Baihu, what kind of business are you doing?"
Zuo Zhongliang had a little doubt on his face, and said, "This son is ......."
Li Zhen said: "I am Li Zhen, you people in the Persona Division should know about me." ”
Zuo Zhongliang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Li Zhen's name.
Although he had never met Li Zhan, he did have a thunderous understanding of Li Zhan's name.
This is a celebrity under Lao Zu, and recently he has launched a series of cooperation with the Persona Division as the backer of the Incense Bureau.
Hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The lowly Zuo Zhongliang saw Li Juma, and when he returned to Li Juma, we received a report that we were about to rush to Yazui Township in the southern suburbs to deal with an obscene incident. ”
Li Zhen asked curiously, "Obscenity?"
Zuo Zhongliang said: "Human life is at stake, we have been delayed on the road for a lot of time, please let me do it later." ”
"Hey, you're ......" the leader of the guards laughed at him.
Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "In that case, Zuo Baihu, you can take care of yourself first, please." ”
Zuo Zhongliang said: "Thank you, don't say goodbye." ”
Immediately, he turned around and rode away at a gallop.
"It's really rare for this kind of person to be able to do 100 households. The leader of the guards couldn't help but say.
Li Zhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Actually, I have acquaintances in the Hearsay Division, and I have also heard of the name of this Zuo Baihu, with his merits, qualifications and ability, it is enough to promote a thousand households." ”
The leader of the guards said: "Yes, you want to say a few more words to him, but that is to promote him, and he is so ignorant of lifting." ”
Li Zhen said: "You can't say that, after all, it's still business." And if there is no general who dies in a hundred battles, how can the prince be unparalleled in the world? Although I, Li Zhen, am an idler, I admire such a heroic figure as Zuo Baihu very much. ”
"But what do you think of the obscenity he said?"
Obscenity is a folk sacrifice that does not conform to the etiquette system, and it is generally an illegal activity to worship gods and even demons and monsters.
When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately thought of the belief in the Great Shining River God secretly spread by the people in the Demon Dao, which seemed to be very different from the official sacrifice.
"Isn't that Xiaolin's hometown, why don't you ask him. The leader of the guard suggested.
After a while, Guard Lin was approached, and when he heard the reason, he said with a surprised face: "No, it has not been such a thing for more than ten years since the government strictly forbade Jiang Shen from marrying." ”
"Jiang Shen marrying?" Li Zhen and the leader of the guards couldn't help but show surprise when they heard this.
Lin Huwei said: "Master Horse, it is a barbaric and bad habit of the villagers in the mountains and wilderness to marry the god of the river, and it is to sacrifice human animals and drown the girl in the river. ”
"I saw this kind of thing when I was a child, but in recent years, the government has banned this kind of sacrifice, and it has gradually disappeared. ”
The leader of the guards said, "Some of this is instigated by the Demon Dao as the mastermind behind the scenes, and may use this bad habit to collect female corpses and resentful spirits. ”
"Shhh...... It's no wonder that the people of the Strange News Division rushed to deal with it, if these were just foolish people in the countryside plotting to kill people's lives, it would be okay to say, but I am afraid that there are demons secretly plotting to disadvantage the surrounding towns. ”
Li Zhen had read a lot of the files of the Hearsay Division, and had visited the divine kingdom of the Great Shining River God with his spirit, so of course he knew this.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Duckbill Township doesn't seem to be far from here, let's go over and have a look." ”
The leader of the guards dissuaded: "Master Horse, this is not very good. ”
Li Zhen said: "It's okay. ”
He added: "It's inconvenient for so many people to go together, except for the guards, everyone else should go back first." ”
In fact, he was out of his body every night, wandering around, knowing that there was no demon road nearby.
even passed on the incense according to the spiritual connection of the statue, and used the effect of the soul returning incense to smell the fragrance, and found Lin Rouniang again.
Among them, there is also the credit of the map of the wooden envoy that he has seen before, and he can be sure that in the past few days, Lin Rouniang and the demon path masters have been in a place called Yuanshui Township further south, and they will not appear here.
When the leader of the guard heard Li Zhen say this, he had no choice but to order the detachment to set off.
When Li Zhen returned to the carriage, the ninth princess couldn't help asking, "Husband, are you going to see Jiang Shen marrying?"
Li Zhen said: "What is there to see about such bad habits, I am here to see how Zuo Baihu deals with them, then again, why do you say that there may be a devil behind these bad habits?"
The ninth princess said: "The reason why the Demon Dao is called a demon is that it acts treacherously and cruelly, and the cultivation method also hurts the heavens and the peace, I seem to have heard that they can use this method to create a very good Xuanyin female corpse, water-based Yin, female Yin, drowning souls also have a strong obsession, and can retain more Yin evil spiritual power." ”
"Are you human?" Li Zhen suddenly paused.
It's no wonder that the Corpse Immortal Sect and the Ghost Sect are always in cahoots, and this whole set of tricks to kill people can be called a one-stop service, along with the corpse bones and souls.
Yazui Township is not far from here, and after the group was divided, they hurried lightly and soon arrived at the location of the incident.
The village doesn't look wealthy, the houses along the way are low and dilapidated, and the crops are not strong.
It seems that because of the topography, the river hangs high, and it is even several feet higher than the place where the villagers live.
A group of people gathered on the embankment of the earthwork pile, arguing over something.
Zuo Qianhu and the others were surrounded in the middle by the crowd of black oppression, protecting a sedan chair, while outside, the old woman wearing a high hat and a colorful feather coat and a witch-like appearance held up her cane and cursed excitedly.
"If you anger the river god, you will be punished!"
"The flood season is approaching, and if you obstruct the river god from marrying, there will be disasters......"
"Folks, these officials want our lives, fight with them!"
There was also an ugly woman who seemed to be a disciple of Wu Zhu and a god man clamoring beside her: "Oh, don't be afraid of them!"
"That's enough!" Zuo Zhongliang had already held back his anger and scolded, "You bastards, you only know nonsense, the perennial floods in Yazui Township are obviously caused by the terrain, and the government has allocated funds to you to repair the embankment and dredge the river, where is the money for digging the channel?"
A brightly dressed figure who looked like a squire trembled when he heard this, and boldly stepped forward and said: "Didn't you officials be greedy? Folks, the law does not blame the public, and snatch people over! After delaying the hour, Grandpa Jiang Shen will be angry!"
At that moment, several villagers who were encouraged came up to rob people.
These farmers have a bit of brute strength, and the people of the Strange News Division press their blades to prevent them from being taken away in the chaos, and they are not able to exert their strength for a while, so they are pushed back again and again.
"This Zuo Baihu is a little soft, and these few people can't handle it. The group wanted to laugh from a distance, and the leader of the guard was even more disdainful.
Li Zhen lifted the curtain in the carriage and looked at it for a while, and said, "You go and help him." ”
"Okay, Master Pony, look at us. The leader of the guards answered, and immediately walked forward with a few people.
Lin Guard, who was born in Yazui Township, was also among them, and even took the initiative to walk in front and help the leader open the way: "Boss, I know the landlord who shouted just now that he didn't blame the public, Ya is a bastard who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, you don't have to do it, watch me clean him up." ”
At the moment, he volunteered to step forward: "Get out of the way, things that don't have long eyes." ”
"Who are you?"
The villagers shouted in dissatisfaction, but in the blink of an eye, they were pushed aside, and several people were unsteady on their feet, staggering and falling to the ground.
"Ouch......"
"Who the fuck is that!"
When the squire and the others heard this, they turned their heads and showed surprise: "You...... You ......"
"What are you!" Guard Lin couldn't help but say, and stepped forward to slap him in the face with a big ear scraper.
The villagers don't necessarily have a good relationship, not to mention, his current identity is not a villager, but a wealthy slave of the powerful family in the royal city, and he has long been not the same class as these rural people.
"Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!"
The arrogant and domineering majesty shocked the villagers who were still showing their teeth and claws just now, and they were silent for a while, and no one dared to say anything more.
Zuo Zhongliang and the others saw the opportunity to come out, escorted the bride to Li Zheng's carriage, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Li Zhuma?"
Li Zhen walked down with a smile: "Zuo Baihu, we met again, it turns out that what you said about obscenity is like this." ”
Before Zuo Zhongliang could answer, an old man begged through the guard: "This lord, please listen to the old man's words, you can't take the bride away, wow, if you take it away, the villagers will have no way to live this year!"
"Yes, Grandpa Jiang Shen is going to be angry. ”
"Whoever is ungodly will be punished by God!"
"Who told you to come over, bad old man, get out of the way, don't get in the way of my master's eyes!"
The guards were holding back the villagers who were rushing in excitedly, and when they saw them clamoring, they couldn't help but scold.
Li Zhen waved his hand and signaled the guards to be calm: "You, you, and you, come here, let's talk." ”
He named the onlookers from the side of the hanging crowd, but they were obviously brightly dressed, and they were obviously elders with more prestige status, squires, and witches and gods.
Although these leading figures in Duckbill Township didn't know the origin of Li Zhen, they were shocked just by looking at this posture, and obediently stepped forward and nodded their heads.
"This Lord ......"
Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "Don't rap with me, what kind of nonsense that Grandpa Jiang Shen wants to be angry about, it's just a matter of deceiving the ignorant and foolish people, dare to make noise in front of this horse, and the end will be the same as these three people." ”
As he spoke, he said to the guards beside him, "Arrest these three witches and the gods." ”
The reason why he said this was because when he summoned a few people over, he actually smelled the familiar smell of rotting corpses from his body!
This smell is not necessarily related to the Demon Dao of the Corpse Immortal Sect, but what they do is not much different, they are all villains who harm people's lives.
When he smelled the smell, he knew the good, the evil, the beautiful and the ugly, and he didn't need to be judged at all, he already knew that these people had murdered a lot of lives, and they were no longer ordinary people worthy of reasoning and human feelings.
In the current situation, there is nothing to say, a senior surnamed Simon has already shown with practical actions how to deal with this kind of person.
Although the guards were a little puzzled by Li Zhen's order, they still carried it out faithfully, and in the blink of an eye, they arrested the three witches and the gods.
"Didn't you say anything about the sacrifice all day long to communicate with the god of the river, come and throw them into the river, and let them tell the god of the river......"
Li Zhen looked around, his face calm, but he was resolute.
"I don't agree with this family business!"
"Spare your life!"
When the witches and gods heard this, they were terrified.
The guards of the family were all vassals who were dependent on the powerful, and after listening to Li Zhen's orders, they dragged them directly to the river and threw them down, regardless of the struggles of the witches and the gods.
Thump!
Plop plop!
The sound of heavy objects entering the water came one after another, and these witches and gods could not swim at all, and as soon as they entered the water, they were like big fish struggling to scream, trying to shout, but they were choked by the water and couldn't shout at all.
Soon after, bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the river, and there was no more movement.
