Chapter 483
"You, where did you guys come from?" The old postman asked the yamen who called the door tremblingly.

Yacha looked at him like this, and felt baffled, thinking that although it was dark at this moment, it was not yet midnight, and there was nothing wrong with calling the door. It is normal for officials to come and go to rest at any time, so what is there to make a fuss about? !

He took out the badge of the prison officer and showed it to the old Yi Cheng: "Prime Minister, come with us, Mr. Criminal, to go to Yiling County, Shezhou, and pass by here. It's getting late, so take a short rest. Call me quickly!" Men prepare food for men and fodder for horses!"

When the old postman heard this, he quickly responded submissively, opened the gate of the station, and greeted Yuan Mu and the others, and then went to collect food and fodder, and when Yuan Mu and the others settled down, Zhang Luoqi hadn't got these things yet. , Yuan Mu called a yamen to go over to see what was going on, and the yamen came back soon and reported that there were only two people in the station, the old postman and a young postman.

Yuan Mu frowned. This station is a place that must be passed after crossing the river. That is to say, if the officials coming and going here want to take a rest, give the horses some water and some fodder, they must come here. Come to the station.

The scale of this post station is not small, at least they have so many people coming out this time, and there is no room for them here. There are also many places for tying horses in the stables, obviously there should not be only two people guarding them.

Yuan Mu thought for a while, and called Yuan Yi: "You go and pick some kind-hearted and talkative, more clever yamen, and go to the back kitchen to help the old postman, and chat with him by the way, see if you can do it. Can't talk about anything."

Yuan Yi immediately understood, he clasped his fist at Yuan Mu, exited the room, and went outside to find someone.

With the help of manpower, food for people and horses will be ready soon. The old postman and the little postman have been busy for so long. They were flattered, after all, for them, the fourth-rank officials of the imperial court were relatively rare high-ranking officials in the station, but they were quite approachable.

After eating, the yamen guard stayed behind, and the others went to rest, while Yuan Jia, Yuan Yi and Mu Liuyun came to Yuan Mu's room.

"Have you inquired clearly before?" Yuan Mu asked Yuan Yi after closing the door.

"My lord, I found out everything." Yuan Yi nodded, with a strange expression on his face, "There are only two people guarding this inn, the old and the young, and it can be related to our going to Yiling County this time. On a little relationship.

Before, we just heard that the generation of Shezhou had a lot of strange things recently, and people often got strange diseases for no reason. In fact, there is another thing that we haven't heard about, that is, in a village under the jurisdiction of Yiling County, a villager The well that had been drinking water suddenly spewed out bloody water overnight, which was so permeable that the locals were terrified.

This incident caused a lot of trouble. Some people think that the government mining on the mountain behind the village earlier destroyed the entire feng shui in that area, so it attracted evil spirits and turned the originally clear and sweet well water. Blood.

Some people said that it was because they offended the gods, so they were warned. This time, the Dragon King showed his power and turned the well water into blood. Once there will be a catastrophe. "

"This sounds outrageous, but because of this, did all the postmen in the station run away?" Mu Liuyun asked suspiciously.

"That's not true." Yuan Yi shook his head, his expression seemed to be a little angry, "The most troublesome thing about this matter at the beginning was that mining destroyed Feng Shui and provoked evil spirits, so they invited many witches Shenhan tried to exorcise the evil spirits, but it didn't work. Not only that village, but even several surrounding villages began to have bloody water coming out of the wells.

So the local people began to feel that Xiesong's story was not credible. Instead, it was about what offended the gods. The dragon king's power became more and more popular and spread more widely. Really.

After that, I don't know who brought it up, saying that according to the ancient law, in this case, if you want to ask the gods for forgiveness and calm the anger of the Dragon King, the only way is to sacrifice to the sky. "

"Sacrifice to heaven?" Yuan Mu frowned when he heard these two words.

The "sacrifice to heaven" that the folks call is naturally not the same thing as the "sacrifice to heaven" that the emperor, as the true son of heaven, has to do every year. It is complicated, but the sacrifices used are only three animals.

However, if something unusual happened to the folks and they started clamoring to "sacrifice to the heavens", it was difficult to say what they were offering sacrifices to. This kind of thing happened again before.

"Then how do they plan to sacrifice?" Mu Liuyun also had an ominous premonition. If there were not some very disturbing things, those postmen would not have run away. An official position is not something to be trifled with!

Yuan Yi sighed: "They said that there is no other way at this time, the only way to quell the wrath of the Dragon King and the wrath of the gods is to use boys and girls to sacrifice Already!"

"It's just nonsense!" Yuan Murao usually showed no signs of emotion, but he frowned when he heard this, his tone was full of anger.

Mu Liuyun was so angry that he laughed instead, and snorted: "Interesting, it's really interesting! From ancient times to the present, whenever there is something wrong, no matter whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there will always be someone He jumped out and said that he wanted to sacrifice, and then he began to think about talking about boys and girls!

It hasn't been a few years since the little baby was born, so who is it to provoke? !Why would Re Enhuo go to harm others if there is any natural disaster, they are all raised by mother and father, why are they so precious, and those children of others have to be used to harm others, they themselves are never willing to embarrass themselves at all!

Furthermore, since God is a god, it will naturally not be like a man-eating monster, what do you want other people's virgins to do!I can see that some people want to take advantage of the problem, play tricks, and at the same time have to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Otherwise, when have you ever heard of that kind of person clamoring to capture all the bandits and sacrifice to heaven?Isn't it just that bandits are fierce and fierce, they are afraid, boys and girls are small and weak, can they handle it! "

"What the Tuiguan said is that those people rely on bullying weak children to make themselves appear supernatural." Yuan Yi sighed. My own child was captured, so I ran back to guard my wife and children!"

 Double updates will start tomorrow!
