"Master Priest! I was short-sighted before! I have offended you. Please be sure to preside over the sacrificial ceremony to drive away disasters and avoid evil for the people of the county! To bring happiness to all the people in the world!"
Huo Yin's expression did not change at all. He sat on the chair and took a sip of tea. He bit off a piece of soft cake and said -
"I have reminded your lord before that if the sacrificial ceremony is not held in three days, the source of today's disaster will appear. Now there are only two days left, and your lord's attitude has suddenly changed. No matter how you look at it...it doesn't look like you have woken up, right?"
The county magistrate also understood that this matter could not be kept secret after all, but he must not tell Huo Yin about the corpse plague.
Let’s not talk about whether the priest is trustworthy. Once he knows that the source of the plague comes from the county government, if he directly betrays him at that time, let alone Wu Shamao, the possibility of the entire Luo family being blamed is very high!
"The villain...the villain's son suddenly became seriously ill. I just remembered the adults' instructions and regretted so much that I came here to ask the priest to come out!"
Huo Yin's brows trembled. He naturally knew the truth from Nan Shu, but he didn't expect that at this point, this guy was still unwilling to tell the truth...
Nan Shu hasn't come back yet, but according to the original plan, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony must be held.
Huo Yin knew more about Qin Yugu than Nan Shu.
For example...she is not from this world, at least not in soul.
He could see the color of the soul. The color of Qin Yugu's soul was different from everyone else he had seen. This was enough to prove that she was special.
Huo Yin is a priest, he has more faith in his heart, and has fewer so-called shackles, and his views on girls are more open than Nan Shu's.
Therefore, he expects more from her. He feels that Qin Yugu may not be able to do things that others cannot do.
The fact that she was able to formulate such a thorough plan based on Nan Shu and his abilities was not something that a teenage girl could have. Nan Shu said that her autopsy skills were also extraordinary.
Is there really anyone in this era who can grasp the time of rigor mortis so accurately?
The work is all done by low-class and lowly people. Where does the research and knowledge come from?
Nan Shu's series of descriptions of Qin Yugu made Huo Yin look forward to her even more.
Nan Shu would question her, but he wouldn't!
"Oh? What kind of illness did Mr. Ling suffer from that made the county magistrate so panicked? Or even completely changed his previous plan?"
He didn't want to make things easier for the county magistrate. Such a dirty soul always plotted against others and made profits from it.
In this case, Huo Yin also wanted to let him have a taste of being plotted by others!
"This...my son..."
It was just a temporary excuse. Most of the priests were enshrined in ancestral halls. I thought Huo Yin was the kind of guy who didn't understand the world, but he obviously didn't expect that he was so difficult to deal with!
Huo Yin suspected that he was hiding something about the real reason for changing his mind!
"If Master Ling's illness is true, he will need a good rest...after all..."
Although Nan Shu didn't teach him to say this, Huo Yin felt even more depressed when thinking of the red resentment on Luo Qian's body.
The young man walked up to the county magistrate, patted him on the shoulder with a warm smile.
"Some people are sick because they are physically ill, but some people are sick because they are possessed by ghosts!"
The obese middle-aged man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He knew his son's usual hobbies, but the ones who died were all untouchables, so he didn't pay much attention to them...
It’s just that too many things have happened suddenly recently. First, the Qinjia Village was massacred, then the governor came to visit, and then the corpse plague was discovered in his own house!
Before, Huo Yin only said that it was a sign of great misfortune and did not explain the clues about his son, but now he made it clear!
He must already know something! I'm afraid he knows a lot!
While the county magistrate was still thinking quickly about countermeasures, Huo Yin had already paid the waiter in the restaurant and left.
"My conditions are there, but if there is one thing that cannot be met...the gods bring disasters, even monsters and monsters cannot escape!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, dressed in rustic white clothes, and seemed like a graceful elf wandering into the world, but it left a heavy shadow on this heinous man.
The county magistrate returned to the government office in despair. Not only did he find nothing, but he was also defeated by an army. His mood could be said to be extremely depressed.
At this time, Luo Qian was still carrying a woman who had been kidnapped from outside, and walked swaggeringly to his own courtyard, his laughter becoming more and more crazy and arrogant.
In the past, Luo Cheng didn't find it strange, but now that the Luo family and his official position are facing annihilation, this useless bitch is still entertaining women! He is really a prodigal to the extreme!
Standing up and rushing in front of Luo Qian, Luo Cheng slapped Luo Qian who didn't understand why his father had stopped him. His mouth was crooked, and the palm of his hand was also bright red.
"Heartless guy! Now our Luo family is in danger! You are still messing around with these women!"
The "nonsense" he said was "just" that his son would beat these innocent women until they died, and then throw them away like trash.
Luo Qianben was a bold and reckless playboy. His mother died early, and his father would not look at him any more than he promised and exploited the people. Naturally, he didn't have much respect for his biological father who got into the eyes of money, but more contempt and disdain.
Contempt.
"You old thing! You still hit me! What's wrong with me just playing with women? Don't think I don't know what you are doing outside!"
Luo Qian also completely lost interest, threw the poor woman to the ground, and pushed Luo Cheng to the ground.
"Don't you usually collect a lot of money from the wealthy gentry and businessmen outside? Which one of those traffickers and local snakes has a prosperous business without being protected by you and paying money?"
Luo Cheng was pushed down by his son, and for the first time he knew what he thought of him. He was so angry that he pointed at Luo Qian's nose, his face turned red, and he was speechless for a long time.
"You... you unfilial son... I'm still in vain..."
"Don't say you are a good person! Ask the unscrupulous people outside, don't they really want you to resign as soon as possible or even die a good death?!" Luo Qian's eyes were full of sarcasm, "I want you to die too! Hello, I am
Collect your property as soon as possible and live happily! You don't have to urinate to see what you are and how dare you accuse me here!"
Luo Qian's attitude was extremely arrogant, and Luo Cheng's heart was not good to begin with. When he said this, he almost lost his temper.
He usually takes medicine, but most of it is in his room, and his master usually helps him take it. Now he has shortness of breath, tightness in his chest, and his eyes are getting dizzy.
"Quick...I...my...medicine..."
But Luo Qian didn't care, and continued to grab the frightened woman beside him, and left alone.
Luo Cheng was left crawling on the spot alone, his eyes bloodshot and foaming at the mouth.
"Huh...huh..."
Like a pig being slaughtered, Luo Cheng's vision became increasingly confused, while the dead man lurking on the roof tiles could not feel the slightest sympathy for this so-called "official of the imperial court."
According to the Lord's instructions, he will personally find the Jade Bone Girl, while they will monitor here and control all the troubles in the county government.
It's just that these people are now in disarray. The Lord should have solved the problem now and brought the Jade Bone Girl to join another group of their companions.
In a place where people's hearts have been dispersed, no matter how hard they struggle, they cannot escape the fate of destruction. The two dead men looked at each other and immediately left the government office.
However, the reality further exceeded their expectations. When the two dead soldiers returned to the temporary stronghold, their companions showed the same depressed expression as before with Qin Yugu.
"Screwed up again?!"
The few dead soldiers who were in charge of the response were keeping their noses and noses in check and didn't dare to express their anger. Naturally they knew that they were wrong, but they still didn't dare to say anything.
There were two dead warrior leaders, one big and one big. The first time Qin Yugu was helped by someone, it was understandable that they didn't catch him, and the Lord didn't blame him...
But this time, the master Fei Ge sent a message asking them to pick up the person. Logically speaking, the trouble was solved. It was just a matter of time to bring the person back!
Unexpectedly, the girl ran away! Didn't the owner clearly explain their purpose?
Qin Yugu didn't know how to reconcile with Qin Jianghuai, so the two took a trail and left. They arrived at the location marked in the master's order, but they missed it again.
"What happened?! The Lord personally took action this time. We were just dealing with the aftermath, but no one was caught!? What's going on with you?!"
The leader of the dead soldiers has been with Helian Zhong for many years, so he naturally knows that he will not express his anger at others without reason, but this matter is also their mistake. Even if the Lord treats it leniently, these people can't explain it in their own hearts!
The person responsible for monitoring the government office also came back. After briefly explaining what he had heard and seen, this close confidant of Helianzhong also fell silent.
"So, the reason why Miss Jade Bone sneaked into the county government office was actually to expose the county magistrate?"
"It should be, and the boy who stopped us from taking away the Jade Bone Girl seems to have some plans for the government office... The relationship between the two is not simple!"
After pondering for a moment, the leader of the dead soldiers began to think about his next move.
Helianzhong has not returned yet, so he must send a group of people to find the whereabouts of his lord.
What should the rest of the people do? The young man and the girl with jade bones want to join forces to deal with the government, and the girl with jade bones is the one the master likes... The enemy of a friend is the enemy...
"Go and continue to monitor the government offices, and if necessary, let them further disrupt themselves! It's best to cooperate with the two teenagers pretending to be governors!"
"As you command!"
The dead soldiers disappeared one after another, and the leader also felt that this arrangement was the best choice for the moment.
Previously, the Lord got the jade bone girl and was taken away by a boy of 17 or 18 years old. He rarely became panicked, which is enough to show the girl's position in the Lord's heart!
So helping Miss Jade Bone is naturally the best way to make up for the past!
They don’t want to let Helianzhong down either!
"Hoo!!!"
Qin Yugu lifted up the wooden board above the pile of dry firewood with a punch. In the deserted alley, the two siblings hid in the carriage carrying goods and finally sneaked into the county town.
"Sister... now... where are we going now..."
“Find a place to eat!”
The girl answered without hesitation, and then took out the blue bird jade pendant that Helianzhong had given her before.
Anyway, she never wants to see that guy again! She doesn’t want to keep the things he gave!
It must be worth a lot of money! Find a pawn shop to exchange for some money, and have a good meal! Recharge your batteries...
Although there are discrepancies in the plan, Nan Xuan will never give up on the plan that is already in the middle of the process.
They have gone their separate ways, but in the final analysis, their goals are still the same. Even if they act separately, it will not have much impact.
He took the boy off the cart and told him not to wander around.
She was passing by a restaurant, and a shop owner happened to be throwing pork bones that had been eaten by customers. She didn't think much about it, just picked up a piece and wrapped it in her sleeve.
Immediately turning onto the street, the girl quickly walked into a pawn shop.
Originally, the people at the pawn shop were frightened when they saw Qin Yugu covered in blood, but the girl looked calm, walked to the entrance, took out the jade pendant and slapped it on the table.
