Chapter 163 Evil is full of mourning
Xie Mingzhou stood up, clasped his fists at those people and asked, "Brother Tai, there is such a drought in the south, doesn't the government care?"
When those few people heard the words, they turned their heads and saw that Xie Mingzhou was dignified and extraordinary, and the two people in the same company were also the mighty men and the beautiful women, so they immediately put away their frolicking colors, and said with a bald head: "Mr. doesn't know, the south of Zhaoping is under the jurisdiction of the local Tusi, and there is no official government." ”
Zhaoping's Ba Tan Tusi is too busy to take care of himself, and his family has more than a dozen wives and a large family, and even his own water has to be transported from the mountains dozens of miles away. And who can do anything about a natural disaster like this?" said the young man who complained at first.
"Thank you for your confusion. Xie Mingzhou said thank you and sat down.
After a while, the wine and dishes were all together, just some fruits, beans and the like, as well as a plate of old pickles, three bowls of muddy wine, Butterfly Dance didn't drink, Xie Mingzhou only drank two sips, the Lion King didn't care, swept away the rest of the wine and dishes, and called the dishes not enough to eat, and called for a bowl of wine and a plate of braised beans before stopping.
After eating wine and food, he continued on the road under the surprised eyes of several people.
The weather was so hot that even the birds, beasts, and insects that were common elsewhere were gone, and the streams along the way dried up, and only in the extremely secluded deep mountains did one occasionally find a mountain spring.
In the deep mountains, he encountered many people living in groups, which reminded Xie Mingzhou of the "wild people" he met in the mountains when he returned to Chonggong Qinzhenguan as a teenager, and he walked up to an old man and asked: "Old man, what do you feed on in this mountain?"
The old man was naked, and he could count the ribs on his black and thin chest, and he said listlessly: "What can there be in the mountains? It is not that it feeds on wild vegetables and wild fruits, and occasionally it can catch small beasts such as hares. ”
The old man's cloudy eyes looked at Xie Mingzhou and asked, "This guest, where are you going?"
"We're going to Zhaoping City in front. ”
"What are you going to do there? The people in the city have almost fled, and God can't live anymore if he doesn't open his eyes!"
"It's like this for hundreds of miles, where else can you escape?" Xie Mingzhou asked.
"There is no harvest this year, there is no food or water in the city, and the toast master still has to collect money and ask people to ask for rain, one or two per person! Even if we sell people, it is not worth one or two silver! This is really no way! Otherwise, who wants to run to this deep mountain and old forest?"
"Asked someone to ask for rain? Originally, I said that I would help them make a rain to alleviate the drought, could it be that they had already invited a master?" Xie Mingzhou said secretly.
"Uncle, Master Tusi collected the cash and asked someone to ask for rain, did you invite someone?"
"I called a sorcerer and said that it would cost eight thousand taels of silver to open the altar. The old man said a few words, and then he seemed weak again.
"Wizard, you still need silver, I'm afraid it's not a high-ranking person!" Xie Mingzhou only thought about it for a moment, and then he figured it out, if there really is such a monk who can travel clouds and rain, how can he care about your worldly gold and silver things? Maybe he is a liar.
"Uncle, I still have to go to Zhaoding City, you can take a little bit of this food to each person, and you can relieve the famine a little. In a few days, there will be rain, and the old man can go back to the city to see, or there will be some changes. Xie Mingzhou took out a few bags of grain from the inheritance hall and said to the old man.
I don't know how long these rice grains have been placed, but he has looked through them, but they have not deteriorated at all, and there is no problem with eating.
The old man saw Xie Mingzhou turn over his hand and took out a few bags of rice grain, and was so surprised that he almost stared out his eyes, and after a while, he pulled a few children behind him to kneel in front of him, and said again and again: "Thank you! Thank you Immortal Elder for help! Now I can live a few more!"
Xie Mingzhou waved his hand to help the old and the young, and said to the old man: "Remember, after a few days of rain, you can go back to the city." The old man hurriedly agreed.
Xie Mingzhou now has a preliminary plan, but it will take some time to raise rice and grain to help the victims, but no matter what happens, a rain must be laid to alleviate the drought first, otherwise if it is delayed, the people in the city will die of thirst if they are not starved to death!
Bidding farewell to the old man, Xie Mingzhou was already impatient, his mind locked on the Zhaoding City in front of him, and he lifted the two of the Phantom Lion King one by one, and then stepped out and arrived at the gate of Zhaoding City.
There was no one at the gate of the city, only a big red notice was posted next to it, and after Xie Mingzhou read it carefully, he felt a little puzzled.
This notice not only said that the money should be collected, but also that each village should produce a boy or virgin under the age of three, and make up the number of nine pairs, so that the wizard could open the altar and beg for rain!
"What do you want boys and girls to do when they open the altar to ask for rain? How do you feel that there is a kind of evil cultivation? Ignore him for now, see if he opens the altar to ask for rain, and then make plans. Xie Mingzhou thought as he walked into Zhaoding City.
The city of Zhaoding was deserted, except for a lot of people at the entrance of the grain store, there was no one else, and all the shops were closed, looking lifeless.
Xie Mingzhou's divine thoughts covered the whole city, and he found the location of the Tusi Mansion in just an instant, saying that it was a mansion, but it was actually more like a fort, surrounded by stone walls, and dozens of people carried knives and guns to patrol.
Tusi Ba Tan was lying naked on a bamboo chair in the pavilion in the backyard, and the three maids next to him took a large pu fan made of palm leaves and kept fanning the wind, but his fat body like a white pig was still sweating.
"Dead thing, use some force!" The three maids didn't care to wipe the sweat on their faces, and shook the big pu fan vigorously.
"Fuck you, you can't see the sweat on the master's body, go get water to help the master wipe the sweat!" ......
Xie Mingzhou was angry when he saw it, and he performed the soul searching technique, and after a while, he understood that he sentenced this fat pig to death!
This Tusi Ba Tan was not appointed by the government, but he appointed himself! He was originally a bully within hundreds of miles, and dozens of wives and concubines in the family, except for the main wife, were all robbed!
Even this once-in-a-century drought, he had to take the opportunity to loot, originally asked the wizard for only 1,000 taels, but he asked each person to receive a tael, just this tael of silver, forced how many wives to be separated, families ruined!
Even his two sons were as vicious as he was.
He himself appointed dozens of local officials, raised thousands of native soldiers, all of whom did all kinds of evil, bullied men and women, and for decades, countless people died in vain at the hands of Ba Tan and his subordinate local officials, and his crimes are too numerous to mention!
"These brutes!" Xie Mingzhou scolded fiercely.
"It would be easy to kill this Ba Tan like this, but it is not easy for those local officials under his command to fight for the tiger, so they simply do not do anything, and they will not stop! ”
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhou released the second elemental god and threw himself at Na Ba Tan, instantly taking away his physical body.
