Poison concubine enchanting

Chapter 108 Interrupting the Festival
Shen Hua clenched his palms tightly, crow-killing incessant movements. He first circled around the altar, sprinkled a circle of rice, and then came to the boys and girls, and took out two yellow talismans from his arms, They were pasted on the foreheads of the two people respectively, and then they recited silently. People only felt a gust of wind blowing, and the yellow talismans on the foreheads of boys and girls were lifted by the wind, and the red and white colors looked very strange.

Ya Shahu's eyes sank, and he read a few words silently, only to see the bodies of boys and girls gradually floating up, people opened their mouths to see the incredible scene on the stage, following the sound of Ya Sha, the boy and girl The virgin's body slowly floated towards the river, Shen Hua's heart beat faster, and the virgin's body was already suspended in mid-air.

Yasha looked at the scene in front of him, smiled with satisfaction, then clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and continued to read silently. Suddenly, the crowd exclaimed, and Wen Xiaochan's tears kept falling, but his expression was joyful and relieved.

The boys and girls who were supposed to fall into the river were suddenly stopped by a white figure. People only had time to see his flowing clothes before he returned to the tree with two children in his arms. The acupoints were unlocked, but he didn't have time to cry, his face was pale, and he walked through the gate of hell, not to mention such a small child, even an adult would be scared to death.

Shen Hua leaned on the tree trunk, looked at Mo Xuan, his eyes were full of admiration, Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Is Madam satisfied with the result?"

Shen Hua's smile gradually faded. It is certainly a good thing to save these two children, but in this way, the sacrificial ceremony will be ruined, and the people in the entire Jiangnan will probably become enemies with them.

Sure enough, seeing that the ceremony was interrupted again, the crowd couldn't help becoming resentful, and someone took the lead in shouting.

"For two foreigners to disrupt the ceremony and become sinners in the south of the Yangtze River, they should be executed!"

With this shout, the crowd boiled and shouted.

"Execute! Execute!"

Mo Xuan's eyes turned cold, and Shen Hua's face was also tense.She looked at Yasha on the stage, his eyes were calm, Shen Hua couldn't help being startled, she had a bad feeling in her heart, she said lightly for a long time.

"Mo Xuan, we've been tricked."

Mo Xuan glanced at her, his face was frosty, obviously he knew what Shen Hua said, this sacrifice did not intend to kill these two children, the ultimate purpose was just to make Mo Xuan and Shen Hua the target of public criticism, or If you leave Jiangnan, you will be unable to move an inch.

Shen Hua looked coldly at the crowd under the tree, and finally the two children beside her couldn't help crying, and the crying made Shen Hua even more upset. She glanced at Wen Xiaochan beside her, with a guilty expression on her face. Feeling relieved and entangled with self-blame, Shen Hua sneered, human nature is like this, isn't it?
When the common people were arguing, Ruan Zhishan walked out from the crowd. He walked onto the stage, and his inner voice spread throughout the arena, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

"Calm down, everyone, and listen to me."

Ruan Zhishan looked at the quiet crowd, nodded in satisfaction, and then spoke slowly.

"This is Mrs. Guoshi and Mrs. Guoshi, the national teacher of our Mo country. Everyone should not be rude to her."

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd fell silent and began to discuss in low voices. Shen Hua heard the whispers of the two people who were close to each other.

"So what about Master Guoshi, there are only so many people in Jiangnan who sacrificed two children, and everyone knows the pros and cons of this business."

Make a voice sound.

"Who knows what Master Guoshi thinks, maybe because he lives in Chang'an, we Jiangnan people don't care about life or death."

Shen Hua's eyes were cold, and her voice sounded faintly.

"You can see us as ordinary people."

Shen Hua's words made everyone present pause, and then began to discuss again.

"Ordinary people's words are not easy to handle. They take so many of our lives as a no-brainer, so what are we worried about?"

Shen Hua snorted coldly, and continued.

"If you think we are guilty, let me ask you, your life is your life, but the life of these two children is not your life? Don't compare two with hundreds. No one in this world should be free Go to death to save you."

The crowd was silent, and no one continued to speak. Shen Hua's words undoubtedly drew out the shame in their hearts, magnified their crimes, put them on the table, and let the sun shine directly to reveal their ugliness.

With a smile in Mo Xuan's eyes, he wrapped his arms around Shen Hua's waist and led her and the two children down the tree trunk. Seeing the situation, Wen Xiaochan immediately ran up and hugged the two children in her arms. She looked at Shen Hua with a guilty expression. Talk to Mo Xuan.

"Xiaochan thanked the two benefactors."

Shen Hua glanced at her, but ignored it, Wen Xiaochan twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and the child beside her tugged at her sleeve, she knelt down and comforted her softly.

Mo Xuan and Shen Hua walked side by side through the crowd, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, Shen's picture was pale, Mo Xuan's face was covered by half a white jade mask, and his expression could not be seen clearly, Ruan Zhishan stepped forward and did it humbly A bow.

"Master and his wife are frightened."

Shen Hua glanced at him lightly and remained silent. What he said on the altar just now was to excuse them on the surface, but in fact it exposed their identities, which undoubtedly cut off the way out, and was really cruel .

Ruan Zhishan didn't mind Shen Hua's gaze at all, he leaned slightly and said.

"Letting the national teacher and his wife see this farce is the dereliction of duty of the lower officials. I hope the adults will forgive me."

Mo Xuan's expression was indifferent, his eyes drifted lightly over Ruan Zhishan, and then said in a low voice.

"It has nothing to do with you. Put the demagogue in front of you in jail, and the national teacher will personally interrogate him."

Ruan Zhishan's face was calm, he responded, and waved his hands behind him, several arresters immediately suppressed Yasha, Yasha didn't resist, his eyes were still gloomy, he was arrested step by step leave.

Ruan Zhishan glanced at Mo Xuan and said.

"Is there any other order, sir?"

Mo Xuan said lightly.

"No more, you step back."

Ruan Zhishan responded and stepped aside, neither humble nor overbearing.Mo Xuan dragged Shen Hua out of the crowd, and set foot on the way back to Ruan Mansion. When she got away from the crowd, Shen Hua frowned.

"Ruan Zhishan has a problem with that priest."

Mo Xuan responded, he seemed to have expected it, and his voice was light.

"It is estimated that this is the purpose of the King of Qing, making it difficult for us to move forward in the south of the Yangtze River."

Shen Hua thought about it. The King of Qing and the National Teacher's Office are in a hostile relationship. If the matter in Jiangnan is not handled well, the Ministry of Industry will be hit hard. His people succeed the Ministry of Industry, and the fat meat of the Ministry of Industry will fall into his hands.

But at the same time, Dongfang Yi is also eyeing the fat meat of the Ministry of Industry, so although this matter has something to do with Dongfang Yi and the King of Qing, it is definitely not an accomplice. The king of Qing had to fight again. If there was a way to skip the step of the fall of the Ministry of Industry and let Dongfang Yi and the king of Qing fight each other, that would be great.

Shen Hua's gaze sank. At present, the most important thing is how to solve the problems in the Jiangnan area. Now there are three problems in front of him.

One is the most important problem. The continuous rain in the south of the Yangtze River has caused flooding. If this continues, the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably be flooded.

The second is the building of Jiangnan Heti. Heti obviously cannot last long. If it is not built well, it is estimated that Jiangnan will be lost before the next rain.

The third is that Shen Hua and Mo Xuan have been regarded as enemies by the Jiangnan people. The so-called people can carry a boat and overturn it.

Shen Hua analyzed the problem to Mo Xuan, and Mo Xuan nodded and cast admiring glances at Shen Hua.

"Bringing Madam out on this trip is undoubtedly bringing a military advisor."

Shen Hua glanced at him lightly, she knew very well in her heart that Mo Xuan must be very clear about these questions, he said these words purely to make fun of her, Shen Hua ignored them, and continued.

"First of all, the main thing we have to do is to build the river lift."

Mo Xuan responded, then stopped speaking, and Shen Hua also fell into silence. At this point, he encountered difficulties. The people in the south of the Yangtze River obviously would not listen to them, and the military strength of the government alone was not enough. After all, building Heti is a big project, and there is no room for sloppyness. It takes strength and a burly body to move heavy building materials.

Even if there are a lot of people in the government and they don't have enough energy to sleep, they still have to rely on the common people to help them, but they have already offended the common people, and it is even more impossible to rely on Ruan Zhishan. Sacrifice the trap, waiting for Mo Xuan and Shen Hua to jump into it.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the manpower is ready, and the materials of the imperial court are robbed by Dongfang Yi, there will not be such materials for a while.Shen Hua couldn't help but sighed.

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. It's really a coin that kills a hero."

Mo Xuan chuckled, causing Shen Hua to stare coldly.

"At this time, you can still laugh. It is already a disadvantage for you to deal with Dongfang Yi and King Qing alone. Without the Ministry of Industry, it will be even more difficult for you to compete with them in the court."

Mo Xuan's heart warmed up. Shen Hua put himself in his shoes. Seeing her depressed appearance, Mo Xuan felt a little distressed, and he comforted him softly.

"Ma'am, don't worry, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

Shen Hua pursed her lips and said nothing, she turned around and grabbed a piece of pastry, stuffed it into her mouth, and started to chew. Seeing her movement, Mo Xuan chuckled.

Later, as Mo Xuan said, the boat would naturally go straight when it reached the bridge. When Wen Xiaochan came to look for them, Shen Hua was still feeling uncomfortable with her expression at that time. Seeing her coming, she said calmly.

"Come in and talk."

Wen Xiaochan's clothes were almost soaked, and her hair was sticking to her cheeks. Even though it was spring, she couldn't resist the rain. She shivered. Shen Hua frowned and gave her a look, then handed her a dry towel beside her.

"Wipe it."

Wen Xiaochan took it, and smiled slightly at Shen Hua, Shen Hua looked away, Wen Xiaochan was very beautiful, with the kind of brows and eyes, she could bear to look closely, after getting acquainted, there was a kind of belated amazement.

Shen Hua was sitting on a chair, and Wen Xiaochan was sitting opposite her, still holding a towel in her hand, her hair was half-dried, but still stuck together, her face was clean, she glanced at Shen Hua, and said softly.

"Does Madam want to build Heti?"

Shen Hua raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know?"

Wen Xiaochan gave a wry smile, a trace of pain appeared on her fair face, she lowered her eyebrows and said softly.

"I am dissatisfied with Madam, I went to see my husband in the cell, and I learned from him that he asked me to help the State Teacher and Madam."

Shen paused, and the face of Yasha flashed in his mind, wasn't he with Ruan Zhishan?How could you come to help her?Wen Xiaochan knew her doubts, she said eagerly.

"Ma'am, you have misunderstood. My husband and I played a play for you to see."

Seeing that Shen's face turned black, Wen Xiaochan hurriedly continued.

"Master Ruan threatened us, saying that if we don't help him perform this play, we will send Ping An'an as a sacrifice to the God of the River. Our husband and wife have no other choice."

Shen's face paled slightly, but questions followed one after another, and she couldn't help asking.

"Why did he choose your family? And why did your husband think of helping us again?"

Wen Xiaochan bit her lip, a trace of strangeness flashed across her eyes, she said.

"Because Yasha can do tricks, which is unique in Jiangnan, so he chose our family. As for why Yasha suddenly told Madam the truth and wanted to help Madam, I have no way of knowing."
