Shangyang City, the mansion that made Lin Ye's heart palpitate.
"Fairy, that one is probably about to wake up. Qingfeng Temple is closed to thank guests."
"Thank you behind closed doors, but the Taoist priest hasn't left yet?"
"without."
"Interesting, you are not leaving at this time. Do you want me to stay in this mansion forever?"
The old woman listened to the words coming from the inner room, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Fairy, actually I think you don't need to abide by the agreement you made with Qingfengguan. I'm afraid the bones of the cow's nose have turned into ashes."
As long as Qingfeng Guan does not fall, his master is not allowed to leave the mansion.
This was an agreement made by the original owner and the previous owner of Qingfeng Temple, but in her opinion, even if her owner broke the contract, with the current trump card of Qingfeng Temple, there was no way he could stop his owner.
Although the recent test did not force Qingfengguan to show his trump card, judging from the way the disciple of Qingfengguan solved the problem, Qingfengguan should not have any trump cards, otherwise why would it be so complicated.
There was no response from the inner room for a long time, and a look of panic suddenly appeared on the old woman's face: "It's the old woman who overstepped her bounds."
"Mother-in-law, please don't say this again."
"yes."
The old woman nodded. After a while, her entire clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
…
…
Lin Mansion.
Lin Ye welcomed another guest, his good brother Judge Lu.
"Good brother!"
When Judge Lu entered the Lin Mansion, his expression was very serious.
"Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Please come in quickly."
Seeing Judge Lu's serious expression, Lin Ye murmured in his heart. Could it be that Judge Lu discovered what he and Judge Cui were doing?
Probably not. If he found out about his affair with Judge Cui, he wouldn't be able to call himself a wise brother.
"Brother Xian, I'm here to tell you some extremely serious news. I'm afraid Shangyang City is about to suffer a catastrophe."
"Is it over at Yizhuang in the south of the city?"
"Dear brother, do you know?"
Lu Pan was a little confused, so Lin Ye told him about inviting Yang Jian to Yizhuang in the south of the city.
"So that's it. Judge Yang didn't tell me this. I also want to thank Brother Xian for letting Yin Si find out about Yizhuang in the south of the city. He also made arrangements in advance, otherwise he might be caught off guard. Brother Yu expressed his gratitude to Brother Xian on behalf of Yin Si.
.”
Judge Lu saluted Lin Ye, but Lin Ye quickly avoided him and said, "Brother, we are brothers, so there is no need to say such things. The affairs of the underworld are my family's business. This time, brother comes, but what's the matter?"
Do you need my help?"
"Brother Xian, you have a good relationship with the Yamen. If possible, it is best to let the Yamen lead the people out of Shangyang City."
"Evacuate the people? Is the matter serious enough?"
Lin Ye frowned. In his opinion, no matter how terrifying the ghost king was, he would not necessarily harm the people. A strong man of this level could no longer simply be treated as a ghost.
"It will only be more serious than you think. If my brother's judgment is correct, there is very likely a ghost king in Yizhuang in the south of the city. The ghost king has not yet awakened, but according to what you have discovered, dear brother, he needs a man's heart.
, it’s the ceremony where the twin ghost kings awaken the ghost king.”
"Once the Ghost King wakes up, all living creatures within a hundred miles will be devoured by him, because the Ghost King needs a massive amount of souls to restore his strength."
"I understand, I will communicate with the Yamen, but since the ghost king has not awakened yet, brother, can we take advantage of the ghost king to kill the twin ghost kings before he wakes up to prevent the ghost king from waking up."
Lin Ye put forward his suggestion, and Judge Lu nodded and said: "Brother, I have also decided this. I have summoned all the Yin Divisions in the entire Canglan County. After the people of Shangyang City evacuate, I will bring all the ghosts of the Yin Division with me."
, go to Yizhuang in the south of the city."
"Then I will go and communicate with the people over at the Yamen now."
After hearing Judge Lu's words, Lin Ye didn't plan to wait until dawn, because he knew that the longer the time dragged on, the greater the chance of Gui Jun's recovery. Now was the time to race against time.
He also understood why Judge Lu didn't take action tonight. He was probably afraid of disturbing the Gui Lord and causing him to revive early. If the people of Shangyang City hadn't left yet, then the entire people of Shangyang City would be in danger.
.
"Okay, I'm waiting for news from you, dear brother."
Judge Lu was not polite, and Lin Ye hurriedly walked out the door. Only when he walked out of the door did he find rows of underworld ghosts standing outside the door, with expressions of solemnity on their faces. He also saw the rows of ghosts and ghosts standing outside the door.
Yang Jian was in the queue.
Obviously, Judge Lu has already assembled all the underworld ghosts.
Lin Ye raised his fists towards these ghosts and walked towards the government office. Although it was late at night, the gatekeeper of the county government office saw that it was Lin Ye and did not dare to stop him. After a while, the county magistrate did not even put on his clothes.
It has appeared.
"Master Lin arrived late at night, but what's the emergency?"
"Sir, there is indeed something urgent that comes here this time."
Lin Ye did not hesitate and simply explained the situation. The county magistrate's expression kept changing after listening to it. If it had been someone else, he might have doubted the authenticity of what he said, but it was Mr. Lin who said it.
Yes, Mr. Lin is someone who even the chief minister has to visit in person. Such a big shot will not lie to deceive a small county magistrate like him.
"There is no problem in evacuating the people. The key is where to evacuate so many people at once? And the county guard..."
"People who have relatives in other places, let them go to seek refuge with their relatives. Each family will be given ten taels of silver. I will pay for this. As for the county governor, I will give An Shou a letter explaining the situation."
"Okay, then I will go and take care of it now."
After hearing that Lin Ye would write to the Chief Minister, the county magistrate had nothing to worry about. Moreover, Mr. Lin also gave each family ten taels of silver. This money is nothing to the rich, but it is nothing to ordinary people.
That's a lot of money.
When evacuating the people, the easiest ones to evacuate are the rich gentry. They are originally afraid of death. On the contrary, it is the poor people who are worried that their crops will rot in the fields or have no place to go. On the contrary, it is difficult to evacuate. Mr. Lin
This money just solved the problem.
"If there are people who have no relatives to go to, they can go to other counties to stay at the "Home Inn". I have made an agreement with the owner of the "Home Inn" that the inn will accept those people from Shangyang City who have nowhere to go.
of."
Home Inn.
This is a cheap chain of inns founded by Lin Ye in another world. They are found in all the counties in Canglan County, and there are two or three in each county. They are all used to provide accommodation for the people of Shangyang City who have nowhere to go.
It can accommodate thousands of people.
"Master Lin is so righteous!"
The county magistrate was a little moved, and at the same time he was shocked by Lin Ye's wealth. He was truly as rich as anyone else, otherwise he would never have been able to do this.
…
…
In the middle of the night, the lights that had been extinguished throughout Shangyang City turned on again, and every house was illuminated, accompanied by the cries of children from time to time.
Lin Ye stood on the street, looking at the first batch of people who had packed their luggage, looking at the haggard women holding babies who were still having confinement, looking at the pace of these people hurriedly walking towards the city gate,
His expression was indescribably complicated.
What the Yamen told the people was a plague. There was a plague in the city. If you don't leave, you will be infected.
The common people may not know what the ghost king means, but the plague does. Everyone packs their things in panic, because they know that if they walk slowly and are infected by the plague, not only will they die, but the whole family will be harmed.
.
"Mr. Lin, why are you here on the street? The county magistrate has just informed us that a plague has broken out in our city. The people in the city must be evacuated, and the people in the nearby villages outside the city must also evacuate. After I have informed the people in the city,
Prepare to inform the people in those villages and towns."
Captain Yang was going door-to-door on the street with the notice, and happened to see Lin Ye standing on the street. He thought Lin Ye had heard the noise outside and came out to watch the excitement.
"I'm coming out to see if there's a plague. Then I'll ask Uncle Xu to pack up and leave now."
Lin Ye did not explain the truth to Capt. Yang. Sometimes not knowing the truth is a good thing. Back at the house, Uncle Xu and Aunt Ge were also awakened by the noise outside.
"Uncle Xu, there is a plague in our city. You and your family should go to Canglan County first, and go there to find Lao Chen..."
Lao Chen was chosen by Lin Ye to be the shopkeeper in charge of his business in Canglan County. Uncle Xu would always contact Lao Chen when there were matters.
"Plague, how could there be a plague in our Shangyang City? What about you, sir?"
The expressions of Uncle Xu and Aunt Ge also changed. They both had family members and knew that if they contracted the plague, they would die.
"I will leave too. You go first. I have to go to Qingfeng Temple to inform my master. I will come to find you when I arrive in Canglan County."
"Sir, since it's a plague, we can't stay too long. You've informed Taoist Dingxuan to leave immediately." Uncle Xu said worriedly.
"Well, I'll be careful."
After watching Uncle Xu and Aunt Ge leave the house to join their families, Lin Ye returned to his yard, sat alone in the study, picked up a brush and started practicing calligraphy.
"quiet!"
You must be calm when encountering big things.
Only with a calm mind can you think of ways to break the situation.
Outside the study, Tai Sui, who was originally lying on the rockery, slipped into the study and lay on a jade stone on one side, as if just watching Lin Ye quietly.
Three hours later, dawn!
Shangyang City is no longer as lively as it used to be at dawn. The cries of vendors no longer appear, and there are no footsteps of pedestrians on the streets. Even the birds that used to like to fly to the branches and sing seem to have noticed something, and they have all disappeared.
.
Almost all the people in Shangyang City evacuated the city overnight.
By noon, when Yang Captou and others closed the city gate, it meant that all the people had evacuated.
Qingfeng Guanli.
The old Taoist was kneeling in front of the statue of the ancestor, reciting scriptures as usual, but Dawu who was accompanying him knew that today was different from usual.
Because what the master recited today was not the "Morning and Evening Work Sutra", but a sutra that he had never heard before.
