In the City God's Temple of Daming Prefecture, at night, when the Gou Si people are working, ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers come and go between the two realms, while the Erba God is patrolling the local area. The most leisurely person is probably the City God who sits in the main hall of the City God's Temple.
There is usually an offering at the end of the first year and the beginning of February, but this year there is obviously much less incense.
There were six seals and nine seals in previous years, but this year there were only three. This made the City God a little worried, fearing that he had done something wrong and the local people had. Resentment.
Today is different from the past. There is no King of Hell in the underworld now, and there is no certainty when the nine kings will come back.
Especially after King Wei killed all the five hell kings, King Qin Guang, who originally planned to return to the underworld at the end of the month, told his son, the judge, that he would discuss it with his friends for several years...
In a few years, the underworld will probably look different.
"Sigh... Could it be that I made some judgment that was inconsiderate of the people's sentiments?"
"No……"
I looked through the files over and over again, and all the backlogged cases from last year were checked off.
Unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases are also brought back for retrial.
Some of the things that were misjudged as evil were re-examined and classified as good again.
No matter how you look at it, there is no place where you are not doing your job well?
Why don't the people appreciate it?
"Master, did something unpleasant happen to you today?"
After closing the book of life and death, the local judge saw his immediate superior sighing, putting down his work, and then asked with concern.
"This year's incense, the local people in Daming Prefecture paid three seals. Although there are cattle, sheep and pigs, the pig's head is thin, the cow's head is old, and the sheep's head is very woody. I'm afraid the people have no complaints against me. "
"ah?"
The judge was stunned and said, "My lord, is this the same here?"
"How to say?"
When the subordinate officer asked this question, the City God was stunned and asked back.
"Sir, when I was working in front of me, the seven or eight earth temples didn't even have steamed buns this year, only pickled steamed buns. The local lake god and river god only had half a chicken, and even the pork with hair on it was gone. .”
The words made the City God stunned for a moment, and the judge quickly said, "My lord, I'm afraid it's not that there's something wrong with the local harvest, or that the people don't want to, or that there isn't."
"Last year I checked with the immortals in the heavens and found that the weather will be good this year."
"Ah? Then what's going on? If you didn't have a lot of money, you wouldn't be so picky. Not to mention pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, just two white-flour steamed buns, that's not much."
"Well... you're right, I have to inquire about this matter."
The City God felt there was a problem here, but after all, he didn't care about the affairs of the world, so he could only give the local magistrate a dream and talk about it.
Just as he was about to do this, he saw footsteps coming outside the Chenghuang Temple. Who would come to the Chenghuang Temple this late at night?
But he saw a slovenly Taoist, wearing tattered reed shoes, walking in with his head shaking. He saluted the statue, then picked up the offerings on the table and took a bite.
"Wei Linggong, Taoist priest, I'm here to ask you for a favor. Can I give Wei Xiang a dream and a message?"
After the sloppy Taoist said this, the statue suddenly moved and a shadow came out. Then the shadow slowly fell to the ground and turned into reality. It was "Inspection of Simin City God Wei Linggong".
"who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, Taoist priest. As long as I send a message to Wei Xiangxiang and say 'Sixth Level Earth Immortal', he will understand..."
The Taoist priest sat down on the altar table, picked up the cake and ate it, and said as he gnawed, "Wei Linggong is in the second rank, and the underworld is unobstructed. If you can't entrust Wei Lingxiang with your dream, please go back and forth between Yin and Yang, send a message through the underworld, and inform Wei Xiangxiang. "
"What do you want to tell the king?"
"King?!"
Hearing this title, the sloppy Taoist was shocked and said, "It's true."
"snort!"
The City God snorted coldly and was very dissatisfied with this guy who broke into the City God's Temple in the middle of the night.
"Wei Linggong, please tell Wei Xiangxiang that the water veins in Daming Prefecture are cut off, and there may be a severe drought in the next few years. If he has a way, please slay the demons."
"What?! The water veins are cut off?!"
The City God was shocked and furious, "Da Ming Prefecture is the ancestral home of the Suiren family. How can the water veins be cut off?"
"You can't talk nonsense about this matter. It's better that Duke Wei Ling doesn't know about it."
Then the sloppy Taoist reminded the City God, "Wei Linggong should hurry up, otherwise Wei Xiangxiang is no longer in the world, and it will be difficult to find him again."
"Not in the human world?"
I felt like I heard something I shouldn't have heard. The City God knew that if this was true, something big would happen.
I think at the beginning, they were all second-grade city gods, the city gods of Dachaozhou, but now even their names have been erased.
This is not something you can erase by yourself, but the highest punishment you can give after making a big mistake.
The City God of Dachaozhou, no matter how many descendants he originally had and who were proud of him, will eventually be forgotten by future generations.
Completely forgotten, as if I never knew there was such an ancestor.
At that moment, the City God hurriedly asked: "Do you have any proof?"
"I'm not leaving now, Taoist priest. Wei Linggong can ask the God of Cows and Horses to keep an eye on me, so as not to suspect that I'm a Taoist priest and I'm here for entertainment in the middle of the night..."
"good!"
Of course, the City God was not unambiguous. He summoned the civil and military judges and the great gods of cattle and horses, and sent two groups of ghost soldiers to surround the sloppy Taoist and keep him under strict supervision.
He himself held the official seal and fled to the underworld in an instant, then went straight to Qin Guangcheng and spread the word.
If dreams don't work, he has already tried.
In Qin Guang City, the One-Horned Ghost King was taking a rest tonight. After hearing the noise outside, he was suddenly startled and said quickly: "I know the way, let me go!"
Then he ordered his troops and horses, and without stopping, arrived at Wuwen County, Taiyang Prefecture before sunrise.
At this time, there were no longer any major projects in the county.
The reconstruction work of Wuwen County has also come to a standstill. It is obvious that Wei Hao's deterrent effect in killing the "Sun Moon Divine Sword Sect" is not noticed by the people in the world, but the "Dong Bohou" Hou Mansion is extremely afraid of it.
.
This kind of tough guy is really not easy to mess with.
There was no other way. Although the "Dongbohou" Hou Mansion did not openly admit that it was giving up, the wages owed in arrears were all paid.
Coupled with the pension and compensation, the people of "Dingjianao" are very happy.
In fact, when people from the "Dong Bohou" Hou Mansion came to give money, they did not mention Wei Hao at all, so the families of the miners in "Dingjianao" had no idea the reason was because of Wei Hao.
They all just thought that "Dong Bohou" was a kind-hearted prince who did not want to see the suffering of the people under his rule.
"Dong Bohou" was deceived by the villain below. The Marquis had no idea what happened in Wuwen County. Now that he knows, he will naturally investigate it thoroughly and pay compensation in full.
For a time, "Dong Bohou"'s reputation in Wuwen County was surprisingly good.
"It's really abominable that the people of 'Dingjianao' are actually grateful to the people of 'Dongbohou' mansion! Gentleman, if it weren't for you, 'Dongbohou' would have made 'Dingjianao' homeless!"
"What are you in a hurry for?"
After patting the dog's head lightly and then rubbing it, Wei Hao said, "Let me ask you, has 'Dong Bohou' compensated you?"
"I gave you money, but this statement is wrong. The fault is all the fault of the people below, and he, 'Dong Bohou', knows nothing about it. It's simply bastard talk!"
"You are used to such official tactics, why are you so angry now?"
"I can't be more angry!"
Gouzi grinned, "How many people are there in the two mines, and so many people died. If the gentleman hadn't destroyed the 'Sun Moon Divine Sword Sect' and frightened 'Dong Bohou', how easy would it be to talk?"
"Yes, I have a knife in my hand. Is this to make people talk better?"
Wei Hao smiled and touched Wang Zhaixing's head, "The people of Dingjianao are grateful, but they were deceived, but the result is okay, that's fine. If the truth is told, do you think Ding
What do the people of Jia Nao dare to do to Dong Bohou? Can I always stay in Wuwen County?"
"Just forget it?"
"Don't be hasty. The struggle is long-term and long-lasting. Even if we firmly believe that victory will come, the process may be very tortuous and the struggle may be fierce and complicated. Just from the people of 'Dingjianao'
If they can get compensation now, it's already good. The truth is not important. Sometimes, for the weak...ignorance is bliss."
"..."
The dog still can't accept it, but he recognizes this sentence.
It's okay for the weak not to know the truth. Once they know it, they can't resist. The torment, pain and even extra fear will only make them despair.
It's better not to know.
"The gentleman is kinder."
"I've always been a good person in Wufeng County!"
"..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
After laughing, Wei Hao summoned the "Three Heroes of the Ting Family" again, and said to Ting Yida, Lei Zhen, and Dian Afei: "As soon as February comes, I will go out for something. It's hard to say when I will come back. If something happens, be flexible.
The response is. As for saying 'Eastern Jueyi Cong', there is no need to force it. If there are no local responders, just go to other places to make friends."
"yes!"
"When it comes to making decisions, Ting Yida will make the decision. After all, he is a policeman and has a wider network. If you want to act chivalrously, you must also understand the situation clearly and don't hit the stone with an egg."
"yes!"
"Nowadays, even if 'Dong Bohou' grows his flag a little slower, it still can't stop him from taking control of the East Jue Land, so he travels around the world and keeps a low profile, or maybe changes his name."
"yes!"
After giving instructions, Wei Hao said again, "Now 'Dong Bohou' should be more restrained and will not exploit others wantonly. The main thing you should pay attention to in the future is that the 'Dong Bohou' mansion has changed its tactics. In the past, it used strength to bully the weak, and the strong
From now on, in order to obtain plunder, you may have to resort to deception. If the local people have little knowledge, they will be easily deceived. In addition, "Dong Bohou" is the royal title of the imperial court after all, and it can be regarded as an official family, so the people must still have some problems.
I am in awe, so it’s hard to say anything else, but just let more people become literate and read.”
"yes!"
It is too easy for a superior to fool a subordinate. If you just give an outrageous excuse, hundreds of thousands or millions of people will be suspicious of it.
Among the millions of people, there are indeed wise people and many knowledgeable people, but among the masses, they can only follow the crowd.
The reason why people are wary of others is actually because they are few and rare, so they are so wary.
But the superior overcomes the inferior... It is almost daily life, and even for most people, there is no so-called vigilance at all.
Wei Hao's theory of encouraging students to learn can be said to solve the problem from the root.
The more knowledgeable people there are among the masses, the more difficult it is to be deceived.
The other institutional means are just tools and of little use.
Just as he was giving instructions, he saw a Erba God coming to report in a hurry. Wei Hao was also surprised that the Night God was not on duty, so why did he come to him?
"Yeyoushen, do you have something important to report?"
"Your Majesty, it's not the little god who has something important to report. It's the City God who is on the way, and the chief judge of Qin Guangcheng is also traveling with him. The little god has received the command arrow and came here to report it first, so that the king will know."
"Okay, time to work."
Wei Hao took out a piece of silver. It was just a few coins and not heavy, but it was more than enough as money for running errands.
Er Yagami happily accepted it, and then went to patrol the night sky.
Not long after, a kite appeared in the night sky, with several people standing on the kite. After Wei Hao looked far away, he realized that it was the City God of Taiyang Prefecture, carrying the judge of Qin Guangcheng.
It seems that the local city god must have had some connection with kites during his lifetime.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
Before the kite arrived and the judge had not come down, the One-Horned Ghost King had already jumped down, stepped on the dark wind and came to him, bowing first.
"One-horned Ghost King, what do you mean? 'Zhu Yan' has arrived again?"
"No, no, no, it's a disaster on earth!"
As he spoke, the One-Horned Ghost King stretched out his hand, grabbed the kite string, and pulled it hard a few times, and the kite quickly fell to the ground.
The city god of Taiyang Prefecture and the judge of Qin Guangcheng came forward hand in hand. After bowing, Wei Hao quickly invited them to sit down and talk, and then took out peaches to entertain them.
Fucheng Huang originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as he smelled it, to be honest, he couldn't hold it back, so he sat down and smelled it again and again.
The judge on the side swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his eyes and looked at Wei Hao and said: "Your Majesty, the city god of Daming Prefecture has sent news that the water veins in Daming Prefecture have been cut off. This is a Yin Talisman, please take a look at it."
He took out something similar to paper money and handed it to Wei Hao.
There was no writing on it, so when the judge saw that Wei Hao didn't know how to use it, he burned it in front of him.
After the Yin Talisman was burned, many written contents immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
Obviously, this paper money-like thing was burned to him.
It just feels so awkward!
But soon Wei Hao was attracted by the contents of the Yin Talisman.
The words "Sixth Level Earth Immortal" were mentioned in it, and Wei Hao immediately knew that this was what Yuan Junping said.
He looks like a slovenly Taoist, walking around Daming Prefecture under the name "Mr. Dongguo", and makes divination as his profession.
After reading the content of the letter, Wei Hao was shocked because the text contained some strange hints. It seems that Yuan Junping was afraid that the Ming Dynasty City God would understand it, so he kept covering it up.
Among them are the words "The people with broken claws come to predict the future." Others may not think of this "people with broken claws", but here in Wei Hao, there is only one Jishui Dragon God!
Good guy, this old loach is so courageous. He actually dares to show his face without saying anything, and is still walking in the world. He also showed up in Daming Prefecture to ask Yuan Junping for fortune telling!
It’s great to know that you are in this world!
The fire in Wei Hao's heart couldn't be suppressed at all, and the murderous intent broke out almost instantly. At that moment, the Taiyang Mansion City God, Qin Guangcheng Judge, the One-horned Ghost King and a group of Yin soldiers all knelt down directly.
Submissive.
That kind of murderous intention is especially restrained against the Yin God. After all, Wei Hao is good at martial arts and has abundant energy and blood, so he can conquer ghosts by nature.
After a long while, Wei Hao restrained his murderous intent, then showed a smile and said to several ghosts and gods: "Oh, it's not a big deal. When I come back and enter Beijing, I will stop by Daming Prefecture."
"..."
"..."
If you believe in a few ghosts and gods, you will become a ghost.
Then I thought that I was a ghost, so I believed it.
What else can you do if you don’t believe it?
It's better to believe it.
As for King Wei's murderous intention just now, which almost scared the Yin soldiers out of their wits, that was all due to hysteria or hallucination.
No need to take it to heart at all.
After they were separated, Fucheng Huang said to Judge Qin Guangcheng with lingering fear on his way home: "Brother, the recent rumors are very unreliable. They all say that this king is evil and evil. It is really ridiculous..."
"Ah?! Isn't this sinister?"
The judge looked confused, but he thought that after all he was the King of Fucheng, and he was well-informed. This person who had seen big events was different, and he was happy and unafraid of the king.
However, the Taiyang Prefecture City God was fighting with each other, and he lost his strength in one breath, and then said with a trembling voice: "His mother's ferocious look makes the king's legs weak when he sees it! It can't be done anymore, my legs are weak, help me a little...
…”
In the night sky, the Fucheng Huang's vehicle, the originally stable kite, suddenly seemed to have lost its thread, then floated around, swayed, and fell towards the depths of Mount Tai.
