Chapter 12: Something Happens
Just when Gu Changqing came to Hujiagou to find out the truth about the murder for the water ghost, a major incident happened in Hedong Village.
Hedong Village is a small village leaning on the east side of Yudai Lake, with a small population but a lot of fertile land.
This is because of the good geographical location, and secondly, because all the small rivers and streams that flow down from Yudai Lake have to pass through Hedong Village, so the farmland here is the best irrigated.
Just because the farmland in Hedong Village is one of the best in Emei County, many large families bought the farmland early.
Hedong Village has few people and a lot of land, almost half of the fields are from outsiders, in previous years, everyone's well water did not interfere with the river water, you do yours, I do mine.
But this year things have changed.
This year, there has been a severe drought for more than a month, and the water in Yudai Lake has gradually dried up, and the people of the county government have sealed several diversion channels for this purpose, so as to ensure that there is still water in Yudai Lake.
On this day, for some reason, Yudai Lake suddenly opened an opening, and the water flowed out along the east side, and logically speaking, it must be flooded to the fields of the villagers of Hedong Village first.
But some people forcibly changed the flow of water and flowed to the south.
You must know that the fields of the villagers of Hedong Village are all in the east, and the fields in the south are all from other villages.
Originally, the Yudai Lake was suddenly diverted, and the villagers of Hedong Village thought it was providence, but some people were obstructed from it, and these villagers naturally did not allow it.
So, under the leadership of Gu Changqing's father, he went to the fields in the south.
can spend money to buy fields in other countries, the owner of this southern field is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, seeing that the ancient father brought the villagers to make trouble, it was quite simple, and directly sent someone to beat the villagers severely.
Father Gu even bent his waist because of this.
After listening to Zhao Tianlong's story, Gu Changqing gritted his teeth angrily.
"Do you know whose field it belongs to?"
"There are 10,000 families in the county, and it is Wanjia's youngest son Wan who beats people. โ
Gu Changqing was angry and shouted, "Are others still on the field?"
No, he let his subordinates hold the Yudai Lake, only allowing water to flow into his fields, as long as someone approached the Yudai Lake, he would inevitably be beaten. โ
"Too much deception!"
Gu Changqing turned around and wanted to leave.
Zhao Tianlong hurriedly grabbed him and said, "I'm here to tell you that I didn't let you go to Wanjia Theory." โ
Gu Changqing turned his head and said, "What's the matter, my father was beaten, shouldn't I, as a son, help him get ahead?"
"Coming out?" Zhao Tianlong shook his head helplessly, and said, "How can we get out?" We have already sued the yamen, but it is useless, I heard that the Wanjia family still has a relationship in the imperial court, and the county order does not even dare to meet us in person, how do you say that we peasants come out?"
Gu Changqing suddenly calmed down when he heard this.
It's not that Gu Changqing is scared, but he knows that with his current identity, it is impossible to compete with Wan Jia.
As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and that's the truth.
Unless, one day, Gu Changqing's status can surpass that of ten thousand families, so the county commander will naturally not dare to blatantly protect it.
Gu Changqing sighed heavily, took out a hundred Wenbao bills from his bag, and handed them to Zhao Tianlong.
"You can help me give this money to my mother, so that he can hire a good doctor for my father and buy better medicine, which is what I can do at present. โ
Zhao Tianlong said puzzledly: "You're not going back?"
"What's the use of me going back?"
"But ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"What I can do now is to earn enough money to participate in the Daoist Division's assessment, and then become a real Taoist priest, and then participate in the imperial examination of the imperial court, and become an official in the court, only in this way can I change the fate of my family and fellow villagers. โ
Zhao Tianlong was stunned.
"Do you still want to be a Taoist priest?
"I'm not going to give up!"
Zhao Tianlong nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to the day when you fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and everyone will be touched by your light then." โ
Looking at Zhao Tianlong's distant figure, Gu Changqing smashed into the wall of the Taoist temple with his fist.
His hands were dripping with blood, and his heart was like a knife.
The family was bullied, but they could only watch, which was really uncomfortable.
However, he was helpless, as he said, all he could do at the moment was to become a real Taoist priest.
The sound outside alarmed the people in the view, He Yong shook his head and walked out, shouting: "I said Gu Changqing, are you full of food or what?
Gu Changqing hurriedly cleaned up his mood, turned to He Yong and said, "No, Senior Brother He, I didn't mean to. โ
"I don't dare. He Yong looked at him and said, "What's the matter?
Gu Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue, I plan to ask the viewer to use the soul chasing technique to check when I come back this time." โ
"That's really not a coincidence, the old man's family went to the county, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back today. โ
"Is Senior Brother Ma here?"
Ma Taiping followed the master. โ
He Yong pursed his lips and said, "Why do you want Ma Taiping to use the Soul Chasing Technique?"
"Exactly. โ
He Yong said in a strange tone: "Then why don't you ask me for help?"
Gu Changqing smiled and said, "How dare you bother Senior Brother He for such a trivial matter?"
In fact, the reason why Gu Changqing didn't want to ask He Yong for help in his heart was because this person was so annoying, and in Taiyiguan, He Yong was the most mean, and he was usually full of style, looking like a deputy master, and he couldn't look down on anyone.
Ask him for help, it's better to spend some money to let Ma Taiping help.
Although Ma Taiping is mercenary, it is better than looking at He Yong's nostrils to speak.
He Yong nodded and said, "Even if you have a little conscience, I followed my master to the county in the past few days, but it was heartbreaking, and I have no time to do anything else." โ
"Then Senior Brother He, you rest, I'll go to the main hall to guard for you. โ
"It's rare that you have this heart, I'm not busy first, before the master leaves, I will be given a false urn for you, let's do this first. โ
"Thank you, Senior Brother He. โ
As for whether he wanted to receive a fake urn or not, in fact, in Gu Changqing's own opinion, it didn't matter, because he relied on the mall in his mind, even if he didn't have a fake urn, he could have mana.
Isn't that what the fake pot does?
However, through yesterday's words from the Lord, Gu Changqing felt that he still needed to be subjected to a false urn.
After all, a person who doesn't even have a fake urn has mana, this is a focus everywhere, Gu Changqing doesn't want to be the focus, at least when he doesn't grow up enough to protect himself, he must keep a low profile.
This world is not an ordinary world, demons and monsters exist, only low-key people can last for a long time, this truth is still clear to Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing knelt in front of the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu, and He Yong took out a scroll of Taoist scriptures and a wooden waist card, and put three sticks of incense on the statue.
"The Emperor Zhenwu is above, the Taiyi Guan monk Gu Changqing Dao is pious, and today's disciples are falsely enshrined for it, asking for the protection of the gods and gods, and may the ancient Changqing Dao be lucky for a long time, and the same virtue as the sky. โ
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
Gu Changqing followed and bowed down.
After doing all this, He Yong took the Taoist scriptures and wooden plaques and looked at Gu Changqing.
"Senior Brother Gu, this begins. โ
