Chapter 109 Flag Sacrifice in Front of the Formation
Author: Seven-leaf Hibiscus
Let’s forget about character.
As long as Magistrate Song is a smart man, he should know that he cannot be allowed to deceive superiors and subordinates about disasters.
There is only one result of doing so, and that is a dead end.
It will also affect the whole family.
Unless someone gets hold of him, or he is really greedy, and the amount of greed is huge, he is afraid that if he is exposed, he will be implicated, and there will be no way to survive.
But that doesn't make sense.
He can't tell God when it will rain.
The longer time goes on, the harder it is for him to hold on.
If you think so, there is indeed something fishy.
Qing Hui asked Song Tanxi thoughtfully: "In the past few years, including the years of the disaster, has your father changed in any way, or has anything strange happened to him?"
Strange things…
Song Tanxi was stunned by Qing Hua's question, "My husband has been preparing for the exam in the past few years, and I live at home. In addition, the disaster has been serious in the past few years. Every time I go back to my parents' home, my father is very anxious and my mother sighs. I really don't notice anything."
What's the problem..."
Song Tanxi tried hard to recall, but suddenly, she said as if she remembered something, "There was a Taoist priest."
"Taoist?" Qing Hui was instantly interested.
"Yes, after the drought, it was better in the first year, but then it became more and more serious. People began to use more ways to pray for rain. As the chief official of the city, my father should take the lead in praying for rain. So I heard from my husband, basically
On the first day of every month, my father would go to various places to pray for rain. Since there was no effect, my second uncle invited a Taoist priest, saying that he was some kind of wandering immortal with great abilities."
"Second uncle was very convinced by him. He seemed to be called Taoist Changming. But unfortunately, even this immortal priest did not ask for a drop of rain. On the contrary, the disaster became more and more serious after that.
Not long after we arrived, even people like ours had to save water and eat less than half of their food."
"My father and my second uncle have always had a good relationship. They have almost never blushed since they were young."
"But it seems that the two of them had a big fight because of praying for rain. During that time, I heard from my brother that the situation at home was very bad."
"As a married woman, I shouldn't have to worry so much, but something like this happened to my parents' family, and I was very anxious, but my husband seemed to realize something and started to restrain me from going out. Until this incident broke out, the whole
All the officials of Lingzhou Prefecture were imprisoned, and my husband's family immediately gave me a divorce note and ended their relationship with me. During these days, I was homeless and could only wander around. Only then did I find out about my father.
What kind of person is he?" Song Tanxi shook her head with red eyes, "But it's obviously not like that. My father is not that kind of person. I can't even see him. I begged many people, but no one was willing to listen to me.
…”
"Your suspicion is indeed reasonable, but it is only your one-sided statement. You have no evidence that your father has never taken bribes and violated the law. It would be impossible for any official to listen to your one-sided statement at this moment." Qing Hui.
He told the reality without mercy, "Even in order to appease the people, just like offering sacrifices to the flag in front of the battlefield, it is natural to kill your father without investigating the case."
In fact, in the final analysis, Lian Jinchen's methods were not tough enough.
Maybe it wasn't that he didn't dare, but that he had too many taboos. In addition, Prince Ning was also involved in the disaster relief this time, which made him restrained and did not dare to act rashly.
Only then did he save Magistrate Song’s life until now.
