"Water God, what's going on?" Bai Cheng asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Xiaohei chewed on cooked beef, his cheeks were bulging, and his stomach was suppressed by hunger, and he said: "At first, the big guys didn't know that they had collided with Grandpa Shuishen, but they found that the people who had served in the White Cow Valley had died of sudden illness ten days after coming out of the valley. Later, I heard that someone dug up the plaque of the water temple in the mine of the White Cow Valley, and everyone knew that the White Cow Valley was the dojo of the water god's grandfather, and the big guy was condemned after colliding with the water god's grandfather. ”

Bai Cheng shook his head and smiled: "You are talking nonsense, the god of water is the god of rivers, lakes and seas, how can you build a temple in the mountains?"

Wang Xiaohei glared at him and said, "Grandpa Water God has strong mana, where can't he build a temple? Besides, there is also a mountain spring in Bainiu Valley." ”

Bai Cheng didn't want to argue with him, and said with a smile: "Let's not fight about this first, have you seen that plaque with your own eyes?"

Wang Xiaohei finished the last few bites of beef, stared at the fat chicken and said, "That's not true." ”

Bai Cheng asked, "Then why do you believe it so much?"

Wang Xiaohei didn't speak, just stared at the fat chicken.

Bai Cheng smiled and handed half a fat chicken to Wang Xiaohei.

Wang Xiaohei didn't care about the fat chicken, grabbed the fat chicken, gnawed a few bites hard, and said: "Although I haven't seen the plaque, there is a scholar named Niu Fangping in Niutouzhuang, after serving a conscription in the mine, he will go to the city to complain when he comes back, saying that there is something wrong." As a result, before he could get out of the village, a stream of black water gushed out of the well at the entrance of the village, and the black water blocked his seven orifices and suffocated him to death!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaohei's face suddenly turned pale, and the fat chicken in his hand was a little unbearable, as if he was afraid that he would be punished by the water god for saying these things.

Bai Cheng said in a deep voice: "Is this serious?"

Wang Xiaohei said: "When this happened, it was broad daylight, and many people in Niujiazhuang saw it, if it weren't for this, how would we have fled to the mountains?"

Bai Cheng frowned slightly, and said, "Since this matter is so dangerous, why don't you discuss with the government and change to a place to serve as a servant?"

Wang Xiaohei gritted his teeth and said: "Why didn't you say it? We, Wang Jiapo, and people from several nearby villages, once went to the mansion together to ask the master to change to a place to serve, but they were beaten out by the master, saying that they had to go to that place. ”

Bai Cheng's heart moved, and he said, "Did he really say that?"

"Xiao Hei is right. In the midst of the crowd stood an old man, although his face was yellow and thin, and his white hair was gray, his demeanor was a bit bookish.

Bai Cheng asked gently, "What is the old man's surname?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Old Decay King Jiuling, I have seen this young man! The old man has been innocent all his life, but before he died, he had to come out to ask for food, which is really worthy of his ancestors." ”

Bai Cheng shook his head and said: "The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and it is no wonder that Mr. Wang is in this matter." Is what Xiao Hei said just now true?"

Wang Jiuling nodded slowly and said, "What Xiao Hei said is true, that day, Lao Yu personally went to the Yamen of Yutian Mansion to ask to see the prince, but he was beaten out by a board. ”

Bai Cheng frowned and said, "In the past, Fujun was also so tough?"

Wang Jiuling shook his head and said: "Although this prince is strict, he has not done it so much in the past, I am afraid of this... Alas, don't say it. ”

Bai Cheng's heart was like lightning, and he asked, "I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks of the water god?"

Wang Jiuling sighed and said, "When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere to do nothing." ”

Bai Cheng's heart moved and seemed to understand something, and if he continued to ask, Wang Jiuling refused to say more, just sighed for a long time.

After chatting for a while, Bai Cheng's heart moved, he reached out and took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to Wang Jiuling, and asked him to use the silver ticket to pay taxes to the whole village, and everyone could go back to the village first.

Wang Jiuling insisted on reluctance at first, but later he couldn't stand the burning eyes behind him, so he accepted it.

After receiving the silver tickets, the villagers of Wangjiapo were overjoyed and went home first.

Before leaving, Wang Jiuling invited Bai Cheng to go to their village to stay for two days, Bai Cheng nodded and agreed, if there was nothing to do, he would definitely visit.

......

Seeing off the villagers of Wangjiapo, the sky was already bright, and rays of sunlight passed through the shade of the trees and sprinkled on the road, driving away the cold air in the mountains.

Bai Cheng came to Daoist Fengnuo's side and asked, "Daoist, what do you think about this matter?" The disciple felt that this matter was complicated. ”

Feng Nuo Dao said with a smile: "This matter is indeed not simple, but you just asked one thing less, and Poor Dao can't judge what the matter is." ”

"What did the disciple ask less?"

"You forgot to ask the person who died of illness what the symptoms were. ”

"Sure enough, it was a disciple's mistake. ”

"It's okay, it's not far from Yutian Mansion, let's go to Mansion, let's go to Mansion, and see what's going on. ”

"The Disciple Obeys"

The two of them quickened their pace, climbed over the mountain beam, and walked along the mountain road until they arrived at Yutian Mansion before noon.

......

Standing outside the gate of the mansion, Bai Cheng was slightly surprised in his heart.

The city wall of Yutian Mansion is towering, new up and down, and it is built very neatly. In stark contrast, the sergeants guarding the city gates were disparate-faced, in low spirits, with incomplete armor and rusty spears in their hands. Don't say that you go to the battlefield to fight with others, but I'm afraid that even ordinary strong men may not be able to fight.

This is true not only of the soldiers under the city gates, but also of the people who shuttle back and forth, most of whom are yellow-skinned and ragged, and many of them are not as good as the villagers who robbed this morning.

When Bai Cheng met the villagers of Wangjiapo this morning, he thought that they had fled into the mountains in a hurry, and it was too late to get dressed, but now it seems that they are already well dressed.

Feng Nuo's face also showed a strange color, and he said lightly: "Yutian Mansion is fertile and has extensive mineral deposits, how can the people's livelihood be so withered?"

The two followed the city gate and entered the city of Yutian Mansion.

After entering the city, Baicheng couldn't help but be surprised, the roads in the city were wide, the ground was clean, the houses were repaired as new, and there was no clutter, as if it were not the same place as the scene that Shicai saw outside the city.

The only fly in the ointment is that most of the shops lining the streets are closed, and only a few are still open.

The two walked along the street for a long time before they found a restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, only a small façade, and a plaque is hung above it, which reads "Jiuxiangju".

The two of them walked into the main hall, where there were only three or four tables, and there were not half of the guests, only one bookkeeper sleeping behind the counter, and a man sitting at the table dozing.

Bai Cheng coughed lightly.

The guy was startled, quickly stood up, and asked, "Are you two going to be a tip or a hotel?"

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "Let's have a few specialty dishes first, meat and vegetables are not taboo, and then a jar of good wine! ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly said, "It's okay to drink and eat, you can do it in a moment." It's just a hotel, the two of you are exempt from the small suggestion, leave early after dinner, and save the lawsuit!" )
