Literati Sanctification

Chapter 28 Promise
"See those villagers, if praying for rain fails, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Pointing at the densely packed villagers, Yang Yunxu said to his son in a cold voice, whether this matter is their Yang family's business.

"It's because it's about those villagers that we should give it a try. Just these literati, how many articles have they written to pray for rain? As a result, not a single drop of rain fell. Those villagers rely on these fields. Only then can I live my life!"

When Yang Yunxiao heard the words, he immediately pointed to the villagers, and then said excitedly, he didn't have much thought about the rain at first, but only now did he realize how important the rain is.

And it was because he understood the importance of these rains that he asked Heng Xiulin to go up to pray for rain. Those literati no longer knew how many rain prayers they had written, and they knew most clearly whether they would succeed or not.

So, even if Heng Xiulin said just now that he was sure, he was going to do his best to let Heng Xiulin go up and try it for no reason, just for the people in these fields!
"Then do you know how much crime our Yang family will bear if we fail?"

Hearing Yang Yunxiao's answer, Yang Yunxu immediately said with a dark face, if the person in front of him was not his son, he would have slapped him long ago, do you know how much trouble this failure of praying for rain would cause? How much infamy the influence will make them bear is not that simple.

"Father, if it wasn't like this, there would be no chance of praying for rain, and our family would be greatly affected."

When Yang Yunxiao heard this, he immediately said to Yang Yunxu anxiously, if Heng Xiulin is not allowed to go up, he is afraid that if he lets those literati go up once, he will never have another chance.

"You said, he is [-] to [-]% sure?"

Just when Yang Yunxiao was pleading to his father, a steady voice came from the side, the two looked up, and saw the magistrate standing aside, looking at the two seriously.

Seeing this, Yang Yunxiao and the two quickly bowed down to salute.

"You don't need to salute. The prefect just heard from you that your classmate is [-] to [-]% sure that he can ask for rain, right?"

Zhifu looked at Yang Yunxiao, anxious in his heart, but still remained calm, and asked Yang Yunxiao that he was not as worried as Yang Yunxu. For him, if Heshui City couldn't get some rain, That is his responsibility.

Even if he changed someone at this time and caused the failure of praying for rain, or did not change people, resulting in the failure of praying for rain, there is actually no difference.

At most, it was the former, which would only give him some more infamy. However, praying for rain had already failed, so who would care about more infamy?

"I have seen the magistrate, my classmate really said so, I believe my classmate will not come to fool me on this kind of matter, besides, even if it is [-]% sure, it is much better than now, Right, Prefect?"

When Yang Yunxiao heard the prefect's question, he was immediately overjoyed. After seeing his father Yang Yunxu was so stubborn and didn't want to take risks, he was a little desperate, but he didn't expect that at this time, the prefect would Stand up and ask him.

If the magistrate is willing to agree to this matter, then Heng Xiulin is expected to take the stage, and the result at that time will be left to fate.

"Master Zhifu, how can you trust the words of the child, I think that student is just full of big talk."

Seeing this, Yang Yunxu quickly lowered his head, admonishing the magistrate, the magistrate can ignore so much, but he didn't believe it, thinking that there are so many people in his family, if something goes wrong, What should we do then?
If a bad reputation is left here, then there will be no place for their Yang family in Heshui City, so he absolutely cannot let him pass this plan.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. He has to think for his own people and his own family's interests.

"Hmph, I've made up my mind, Yang Yunxiao, right? Go and invite your classmate here. The prefect wants to ask him personally."

The magistrate looked at Yang Yunxiao in front of him, eased his expression, and then said to him.

"Yes, my lord! I'm going to invite my classmates over here."

Hearing this, Yang Yunxiao's face flashed with joy, and then hurriedly walked towards Hengxiu Forest in the distance, he was relieved at this moment, seeing the magistrate's appearance, this time the matter should be a success , and the rest depends on whether his classmate Heng Xiulin can successfully pray for rain.

"Brother Lin, the magistrate asked you to come to the stage to pray for rain, and it's done."

Yang Yunxiao looked at Heng Xiulin in front of him, immediately smiled, and hurriedly said to him, urging him to hurry over while speaking.

Seeing this, Heng Xiulin immediately gave a wry smile, followed Yang Yunxiao, and walked in the direction of the magistrate. Heng Xiulin, who was a little behind Yang Yunxiao, looked at Yang Yunxiao's figure with a slight look in his eyes. flashing. '

This guy, he just said something, with [-]% to [-]% certainty, he strongly recommends himself to go, even his father's scolding, he doesn't pay attention, and he is not afraid that if he fails, he will bear the responsibility. the consequences?

Heng Xiulin thought in his heart, watching the scene where Yang Yunxiao trusted him so much just now, his heart warmed slightly, but then he felt a huge pressure, if he failed, he would really be sorry for Yang Yunxiao's trust in him.

Thinking of this, Heng Xiulin suddenly smiled wryly, wouldn't it be better for him not to advance this matter, isn't this just a matter of making trouble for himself?

"It's you, who say you are [-] to [-]% sure that you can ask for rain?"

After a while, Heng Xiulin and Yang Yunxiao walked in front of the magistrate, the magistrate looked at Heng Xiulin in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked Heng Xiulin up and down and asked, he also glanced at Heng Xiulin before.

It was this person who caused the rain to fall in Heshui City. Unfortunately, because the Palace of Literature was polluted, otherwise, it is very possible to write a prayer for rain with this, and it is very likely that it can attract rain.

"I've seen Mr. Zhifu, Xiaosheng is indeed a little sure that he can attract rain."

Now that this is the situation, Heng Xiulin can only bite the bullet and say, no matter if the matter is successful or not, but even Yang Yunxiao recommends himself so much, if he shrinks back at this time, he will be too sorry for him.

"Okay, then this time is also the only chance, so I will give it to you. You go to the altar, and it depends on you whether you succeed or not in the end."

The magistrate looked at the altar beside him, then took a deep breath, made up his mind suddenly, and said to Heng Xiulin, looking at the expression on his face, it was obvious that making such a choice was not that simple.

When the county magistrate at the side heard the words, his expression changed slightly.

"Master Zhifu, this matter must never be done. If this person fails to pray for rain, then Lord Zhifu will bear even greater charges. At that time, this matter must never be done!"

The county magistrate looked at the magistrate, he didn't expect that the magistrate was so decisive that he directly issued an order to send Heng Xiulin to the altar, just now he just asked the magistrate to see Heng Xiulin, so he didn't think much about it.

But who knows, the magistrate didn't even discuss with the people, and just asked Heng Xiulin to go up to the altar. When the county magistrate was in a hurry, he hurried to dissuade him.

"Hmph, knowing that they are already unable to pray for rain, do you want the magistrate to be afraid of being accused of crimes and not dare to give it a go, so as to increase the chance of praying for rain?"

When the magistrate heard the words, he immediately stared at the county magistrate with wide eyes, and then said angrily.

"But."

The county magistrate immediately lowered his head when he heard the words, he really meant the right thing, but he didn't make it very clear, but now the magistrate didn't even say that, obviously throwing everything away.

"It's nothing but, if something happens, I will bear it with all my strength!"

A flash of anger flashed across Zhifu's face, and with a savage wave of his sleeves, he made the final decision.

"Get ready, you will go to the altar to pray for rain later."

After talking with the county magistrate, the magistrate turned his head, and said to Heng Xiulin with a kind face, the faces of the literati on the side were extremely ugly at this moment.

The conversation between them just now did not lower their voices, so they could all hear very clearly that Yang Yunxiao and his son, as well as the prefect and county magistrate, had all kinds of distrust towards them.

It can even be said that a label has been laid, which says that these people are useless, and they have been to the altar several times, but they can't ask for rain.

Damn guy, since you love to be brave, I want to see if you can ask for rain, and if you can't ask for rain, see if you can still have the calm look you have now.

Looking at Heng Xiulin in front of them, the literati snorted coldly in their hearts, and then thought in their hearts, if this guy hadn't appeared, they wouldn't be insulted like this right now.

The prefect gave an order, and on the side, the things on the altar were also quickly prepared, and they were ready to go to the altar at any time, ready to pray for rain.

Seeing this, the magistrate tapped Heng Xiulin lightly, indicating that Heng Xiulin could go on stage. Seeing this, Heng Xiulin also took a deep breath, and then walked slowly towards the altar.
