Chapter 65: None of them are outsiders
This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and when Yang Zimou was not wavering, in fact, he didn't expect that where could he control the mouths of many officials, he didn't even control the mouths of his staff!
A few nights ago, there were more than a dozen yasoaps and trappers who were chased and killed by the corpses who had changed into walking corpses, and later personally participated in the encirclement and suppression of the walking corpses.
Even after the staff returned home, the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper came to the door, thinking that they were all their own people, and it didn't matter if they said it, so after drinking a few glasses of wine, they ordered not to spread it around, and saw that the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper all nodded heavily, so they told them one by one.
After the county and the chief bookkeeper went home, they faced their relatives and thought that they were all relatives and their own people, and it was not a random rumor to talk about it a little.
It is conceivable that in just two days, the whole city of Xiahai was in an uproar, the closed shops were opened, and the people who stayed at home also came out, all gathered around the "Fangjia Inn" to see the excitement.
If Chi Zheng hadn't noticed it in advance and checked out with the "grapes", I am afraid that he would be blocked in the inn and unable to get out now.
But this did not prevent the shopkeeper from making calculations, and in the face of people who came to ask curiously, he said with an unfathomable face: "People can't look good, in fact, the old man has long noticed that he lives here is a master." ”
"Oh, shopkeeper, how did you notice that?"
"Because this immortal chief is not speaking human words. ”
"What?
"Yes, how can this immortal chief speak like an ordinary ordinary man? What he said is unfathomable, incomprehensible, connotative and mechanical, and shows the open-air way...... The old man's uncontentious sons and daughters listened to the Zen principles of the immortal, but there was no quarrel. ”
The shopkeeper was not sleepy when he talked about this, and he was energetic to see the people who gathered lively, and talked about the matter of the two children a few days ago, when the fairy chief judged the two children, he heard the eyes of the people around him, and "the two children argued, and the immortals judged" suddenly spread out again.
Of course, compared with this, many people and idlers still like to listen to the rumors that "the city god borrows the corpse to return the soul, and the immortal knows the real demon with a fire eye".
Among them, there is a fragrant process of corpse transformation such as the housewife of the Shi family.
But this made the Shi family miserable, overnight, the front of the door was splashed with filth, and the little guy who opened the door was directly fainted.
The Shi family has completely changed from a big family to a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and even when they go out to purchase, they hear that they are the slaves and maids of the Shi family, and they are scolded by thousands of people, and they are beaten by everyone.
The Shi family didn't dare to go out.
And Shi Laixiang, the head of the Shi family, was originally old, and was hit by Shi Zhang's death, but he was actually deceived by the city god, and there was no hope, and his reputation was completely destroyed.
Yang Zimou saw this, and immediately came to the door, where did the historian, who had no one to call the shots, dare to face the scolding of the county order, and immediately took out a full five hundred taels of silver to appease the compensation of the victims' families.
He then took out 1,500 taels of silver to compensate the county government for its losses.
What Yang Zimou didn't expect was that he hadn't gone to find the gentry and tyrants in Xiahai himself, these gentry and tyrants came to the door by themselves, and took turns to entertain them, and after talking, he patted his chest and promised that he would give the fairy chief a comfortable environment, let the fairy chief feel the enthusiasm of the gentry in Xiahai, and make the fairy chief feel at home!
So he gave a share of the money, and the other gave a share of the money, and made up three thousand taels of silver. Yang Zimou was both happy and angry, happy that so much silver was enough to repair all the abandoned Taoist temples, and those coffins could be hastily buried.
But what is annoying is that when Li Jiang Fengshui arrived before, he summoned these gentry and local tyrants to contribute money and efforts, sighed one by one and said that there was no money, and finally only made up a hundred taels of silver with a bitter face.
Now he didn't hesitate to make up three thousand taels of silver in one go!
I said before that I can't open the pot, I can't afford to eat meat, I can't light a lamp, and I can't afford to play with women?
It's all liars!
As for why these gentry and local tyrants were suddenly so generous, Yang Zi sought to clear their calculations, just to ask him to introduce him and ask to see the immortal chief.
Especially when I heard that he drank the immortal talisman to get rid of evil diseases, the oily and powdery eyes were about to pop out, who didn't have a sick person in the house? If he asked for the immortal talisman, it wouldn't be a big profit, and a little silver was not a matter at all.
Yang Zimou received the money, but he didn't have the slightest idea of introducing these gentry and local tyrants, what a joke? How could the immortals and masters let these snobbish people who tend to be inflammatory, and who smell of copper, disturb them!
......
On the Qingzheng Mountain in the distance, in front of the abandoned Taoist temple, many yasoaps with knives and guns, as well as the manpower of the inspection department, are waiting at the entrance of the mountain to prevent the lively people from entering the mountain by mistake.
The coffins that were originally placed in the Taoist temple have all been carried down the mountain, and as many as 100 craftsmen were recruited from the city by the yamen, all of whom were processed and repaired overnight.
It stands to reason that the construction period is so short and they have to stay up late, and many craftsmen may not be happy, especially in the past, the yamen often defaulted on the work of the yamen, and they must have suffered a loss by doing the work of the yamen.
But this time, Yang Zimou didn't dare to owe the silver again, especially since the immortal chief was still watching, if he thought that he was corrupt and made money, it would be terrible. Yes, the food and silver given is not only more, but it is actually a day to knot, and it is also calculated on the spot.
Speaking of it one by one, being able to build a Taoist blessed land for the gods is a blessing from the previous life.
Seeing that the soap and the trappers who were waiting next to him were also red-eyed, they all wanted to earn this quick money.
"Team leader, how many days has the immortal chief been in the mountain, hasn't he?
The catcher who followed Song Zhutou next to him scratched his head and asked suspiciously.
"What's the matter, are you still worried that Immortal Chang'an will be in danger?"
Song Zhutou chewed the dried "washing miasma fruit" that the people below had come up to dry, and glanced at the catcher.
"Oh, squad leader, how dare the villain! What kind of character is the immortal chief, that is a master like a real immortal, where to worry about the safety of this true immortal, the villain is just afraid of ......"
When the catcher said this, he deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting the people around him to hear: "The villain is just afraid that the immortal chief will be delayed and will not come back." ”
Not coming back?
You can't talk nonsense about this, otherwise the county lord will pick his own skin!
Song Zhutou almost jumped three feet high, and glared at the catcher: "What nonsense are you talking about? The mount entrusted by the Immortal Chief is still here, how are you taking care of it?"
"Don't worry, the team leader, the villain is not so concerned about his mother, the best beans are fed, and the villain has to brush the fur every day, and he doesn't dare to slack off...... Speaking of which, the Immortal Chief is worthy of being an Immortal Chief, and even the mount is full of spirituality, compared to ordinary animals, it is really very intelligent. ”
The catcher hurriedly explained, where did he dare to snub the immortal chief's mount, he was really going to be lazy, and he didn't need Song Zhutou to do it, and the county lord would pick his skin.
