Chapter 541: The Origin of the Abandoned Infant Tower
"Sir, your idea is very good, but I'm afraid that the residents of Lingjie Town won't be able to accept Hong Gongliang and Niu Er for a while..."
When Sun Xianzong said this, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Hong Gongliang and Niu Er.
I saw these two people, although they imitated Peng Sheng and others, they were enthusiastically asking the people if they had any grievances to file or cases to report.
But because their previous image had long been ingrained in the minds of the people in Lingjie Town, not only did no one report their grievances to them, they dispersed as soon as they saw them approaching and shut up as soon as they heard them talking.
Even though Hong Gongliang and Niu Er patted their chests and told the folks in Lingjie Town that they had abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side and changed their minds, everyone was still skeptical.
Unlike Hong Gongliang and Niu Er who encountered difficulties, the work of Peng Sheng and others was much smoother.
In these days, the storytellers have been telling stories about Yaosi in Mianyuan County, which gave the people of Lingjie Town a good impression of Qin Shaoyou and the others.
As soon as Qin Shaoyou and the others arrived, they killed Wu Bufan and Yao Gui, making everyone feel bad.
In addition, everyone also heard that Qin Shaoyou and the others cracked the case of a life-buyer yesterday. Such efficient case-solving skills doubled people's confidence in Qin Shaoyou and the others.
Furthermore, they also have great trust in Peng Sheng and others.
Although some people still hold a wait-and-see attitude, many people have found Peng Sheng and others and complained about the injustice.
And Qin Shaoyou had already seen this scene before his eyes.
After hearing what Sun Xianzong said, he smiled and whispered: "I deliberately let them suffer this embarrassment, so that they can see clearly their image in the eyes of the people, and to inspire them to be brave after knowing their shame."
Heart."
"It turns out that this is all the arrangements of the adults. I was overly worried." When Sun Xianzong said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "To be more sinister, you have to be the one..."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and did not continue the topic.
Sun Xianzong stopped talking and began to dispatch people to several demons' lairs outside the town to check if there were any people in distress who needed to be rescued. At the same time, he destroyed these demons' lairs and dispersed the aura of demons in them, so as not to attract other demons.
Qin Shaoyou called Zhu Xiucai to him and told him: "Wu Bufan made a lot of money when he was alive, but he hid it all. See if you can find the money."
When Zhu Xiucai heard that Qin Shaoyou asked him to find money, his big eyes suddenly lit up, and the mustache at the corners of his mouth twitched excitedly.
He said confidently: "Don't worry, sir, I'm good at finding money! Just look at it, I will definitely find out all the stolen money that Wu Bufan has hidden for you!"
After saying this, Zhu Xiucai couldn't wait to call two people and went straight to Wu Bufan's home.
Qin Shaoyou waited again and saw that Hong Gongliang and Niu Er were so embarrassed that they could dig out a courtyard with their toes. Then he called them to him and asked them: "How did you feel just now?"
Hong Gongliang and Niu Er thought Qin Shaoyou was making fun of them, but they didn't dare to get angry. They just buried their heads and sighed.
"Think about what you have done before. It is normal for the villagers to be afraid of you and doubt you. But the more this happens, the less you can give up and the more you must use your own performance to win back their trust. I believe
You can definitely do it, and I look forward to this day coming soon."
Qin Shaoyou's words, using a "smart tongue", immediately made the frustrated Hong Gongliang and Niu Er feel as excited as if they had been given chicken blood, and they said repeatedly:
"What the adults are saying is that we have done too many bad things in the past and hurt too many people. We really need to perform well to atone for our sins!"
"No matter what the villagers' attitude is towards us now, we must act actively to win back their trust!"
"We will definitely be able to do it, and we will definitely live up to your expectations of us!"
After saying these words, Hong Gongliang and Niu Er will go back, with even more ardent enthusiasm, to let the folks in Lingjie Town see their attitude and complain to them.
When Qin Shaoyou saw this, he hurriedly stopped them.
"In your current situation, please don't go over and cause trouble. First, lead me to the abandoned baby tower outside the town. If you want to win back the trust of the villagers, you still have a long way to go. You can just rely on words.
Enthusiasm is not enough.”
Hong Gongliang and Niu Er nodded in agreement and immediately led the way.
Qin Shaoyou called Cui Youxuan, Su Jianqing, and Su Tingyu again and asked them to follow him.
There is probably a very strong evil spirit and resentment accumulated in the Abandoned Infant Tower.
This cannot be solved by knocking down a tower and demolishing it. The professionals at Jade Emperor Temple must provide technical guidance.
Wen Zhu did not follow.
In the previous battle, several night watchmen were injured and needed her help to treat them.
In addition, after seeing Wenzhu's ability to cast spells and cure diseases, many residents in the town came to beg her, making her the busiest person at the moment and unable to leave at all.
In this regard, Qin Shaoyou not only did not stop him, but also asked several military doctors trained by Shan Daonian to assist Wenzhu.
Treating diseases and administering medicine, no matter which dynasty it is in, is a good deed that accumulates merit and the will of the people.
Therefore, although Taoist priest Wenzhu was tired, he worked very actively.
Soon, the news that Qin Shaoyou and the others were going to rip off the Abandoned Infant Tower spread in Lingjie Town.
When they just walked out of the town, many people followed them.
Qin Shaoyou originally thought that these people were here to stop them.
As a result, I saw that these people were either carrying hoes or shovels, and some were carrying sledgehammers, as if they were going to follow them to demolish the Abandoned Infant Tower. I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Qin Shaoyou heard that since the abandoned baby tower in Lingjie Town was built, people often abandoned babies.
Originally, he thought that the demolition of the Infant Tower would be opposed by many people here, and he prepared many words of persuasion, but the current situation was completely different from what he expected.
After some questioning, I found out that the people here in Lingjie Town abandoned their babies out of sheer helplessness.
They abandon babies not because they cannot afford to raise them.
Although the miscellaneous taxes here in Lingjie Town are as high as elsewhere, because they rarely encounter natural disasters, the people can still barely have enough to eat and raise their children.
They abandoned babies because of the epidemic.
Before the Abandoned Infant Tower was built, a strange disease suddenly spread in Lingjie Town.
This disease often occurs in children and is extremely contagious.
Anyone who is infected with this disease will soon have ulcers all over their body and go crazy.
The doctors here in Lingjie Town tried their best, but they couldn't cure the disease.
Some people took their sick children and went to other places to seek medical consultation. As a result, the disease was not cured, and they themselves were infected with this strange disease. In the end, the whole family lay neatly on the coffin board.
At first, Wu Bufan said that the epidemic was caused by demons, and after extorting a large sum of money for "departure fees," he led people to launch an investigation.
Not long after, the results came back, and they said it was not a ghost, but a special disease.
There is no cure for this disease at the moment. There is only one way to deal with it, which is to throw the infected people into a deserted place at the beginning of the disease to avoid infection and harm to others.
Because most of the people infected with this disease were babies, Wu Bufan asked everyone to contribute money and efforts to build an abandoned baby tower outside the town.
Originally, everyone had no doubts about the epidemic.
But after hearing that Wu Bufan actually colluded with monsters and caused many things, he felt that this matter was also full of doubts.
Just now, someone in the town found Wenzhu and brought a child infected with the epidemic.
The child was infected with the epidemic a few days ago. His parents couldn't bear to abandon him, so they kept hiding at home and secretly tried to find a cure.
When they heard that a goddess came to the town to save lives and heal the wounded, they quickly took the child out to try their luck.
As a result, Wenzhu took a look and said that the child was not infected with the epidemic, but was poisoned by the poisonous gas of the Gankou rat.
Then the people of Lingjie Town realized that the epidemic that had caused them to panic for several years was completely fake!
It was Wu Bufan who colluded with the demons and ghosts to cause the trouble!
The purpose is to use the children in Lingjie Town to raise demons and ghosts in exchange for the demons and ghosts' support for Wu Bufan.
As a result, the people in Lingjie Town became excited and angry.
When they heard that Qin Shaoyou and the others were going to tear down the Abandoned Infant Tower, they all chased him out and smashed the tower to vent their hatred.
