Chapter 372

Gu Huai'an was still a little flustered in the face of the unknown situation, but fortunately, they had almost all figured out the countermeasures. In today's meal, the two people must understand that the so-called Heavenly Master just wants to kill people, control those who don't listen to themselves in the city, or just want to make money?

"Lord Liu, how much money will this heavenly master charge you for a ritual?"

Before the arrival of the Heavenly Master, they had to get as much information as possible from Liu Yue before they could decide what they should ask when the Heavenly Master came.

Liu Yue raised his head and looked at Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan in front of him. "If you go back to the two adults, this heavenly master only needs to collect 5000 liang of silver once."

Five thousand taels, only five thousand taels?

Is it true that Mr. Liu really thinks five thousand Liang silver is a small sum for them?

Although it is said that the town and the city are the places where businessmen will stay, after all, it is just a small town. Five thousand Liang silver is definitely more than his salary for three years. Where did he get so much money?

Even if it was the disaster relief, they only brought tens of thousands of taels of silver!

"Now that all the words have been said here, I would like to ask, Mr. Liu's salary should be only a few hundred Liang a year. Who is responsible for the extra money?"

"If you go back to the city, it's usually from the merchants in the city. They have a lot of free money in their business. They are all for the people in the city, so most of them are willing to take out their own silver to help people pray for rain."

"Mostly? That is to say, there must still be many merchants who do not agree with this practice, right? "

Liu Yue's face changed a little, "this It is true that there are, but those people, how to say, will be punished by the gods. Sooner or later, they will take them out. Why should they give up their lives for the money? "

"What do you mean by that?"

"After rejecting my opinion, they would die at home in a short time. The Heavenly Master told the lower officials that it was because they didn't listen to the emperor's words, so they came to such a result. It was the will of God, and we had no way to intervene."

"Is it? In that case, the angel is really magical. How can he be short of money? I really can't think about it. Besides, whether they died at home suddenly because of illness, or were they locked up in prison by Lord Liu because of some mistakes they made? "

Gu Huai'an has never forgotten that the man he brought out at that time told himself that the girl who had been killed that day was the daughter of a herbal medicine shop in Zhenzhou city. It was because the owner of the herbal medicine shop did not believe in this kind of behavior of praying for rain, so he was put into the prison, saying that Lord Liu and that day Teachers have nothing to do with it. They will never believe it.

Shen Qianshan found that Gu Huai'an's words were not correct. He was afraid that he might arouse Liu's suspicion. He said, "Mr. Gu is just saying that casually. Lord Liu must not take it to heart."

"Ha ha, I'm not sure. After all, praying for rain is a big thing. Maybe the Heavenly Master thought that they were not sincere and reported these things to the God. That's why they ended up like this, don't you, my lord?"

Shen Qianshan sneered at the corners of his mouth, but in his heart he kept cursing the county magistrate. At least he was also a father and mother official. Seeing that there were so many human lives in this place under his jurisdiction, it was just like a joke that he colluded with those heavenly masters to seek wealth and murder.

"What Mr. Liu said is of course right. After all, for the sake of the common people, it is all important. The sacrifice of a small number of people is definitely necessary. Then I still want to ask, how much money did Lord Liu spend on this matter from the beginning to the end? The two of us also want to ask the Heavenly Master to do us a favor, so I hope Lord Liu can tell us what kind of school the Heavenly Master is from, so we can have a good idea. "

"Gentlemen, I'm in a dilemma. I really don't know about it. But after all, it's a Heavenly Master. Naturally, there are sects. Otherwise, I won't find him, right?"

"It seems that this heavenly master is really powerful and has the ability to talk with gods and ghosts. It seems that when we see him tonight, we should ask him for advice."

After Gu Jia had packed up his things, Huang Hao asked Huang Hao to help him and Gu Huai'an to send a message, saying that there were important things to deal with in the capital, so they went back to the capital first and asked them to take care of themselves.

Huang Haohao thought it was a little strange. Gu Huai'an was really not an ordinary person. Even the bodyguards around him were so temperamental that he said he would just leave.

This heavenly master is really mysterious. Even when they sit together for dinner, they must wear their own masks and strictly abide by the rules of eating without saying anything. No matter how Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan ask, he is a simple reply.

"It's said that the Heavenly Master has great magical powers. Just by doing a few magic deeds, the drought in the towns, prefectures and surrounding towns has been alleviated. It's really fierce." Gu Huai'an pretends to smile, but the opposite person seems to be disdainful."Mr. Liu, you haven't introduced your two friends to me. What are their origins?"

"Oh, oh, look at my brain. I've forgotten. I don't know. These two are from the capital. This is Mr. Gu, the Minister of rites. This is to deliver relief money."

"Oh, it's the waiter of the Ministry of rites. I'm really rude. But I just came to relieve the disaster. Why are only two adults here? Didn't you bring any escort money? "

When Shen Qianshan heard that they were escorting money for disaster relief, his eyes were straight. Shen Qianshan saw more people like this. Looking at his appearance, he must be just a swindler with some means. On the contrary, he killed so many people without any reason.

"I'm afraid the Heavenly Master doesn't know. The two of us, for the sake of Mr. Liu, don't you think that the town and the state have suffered the disaster at all? The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and have never seen any drought. If we don't report it truthfully, the adults who escort the disaster relief silver will pay attention to it. If we report this matter back to the emperor, Lord Liu will deceive the emperor. "

"What should I do? You two adults can understand that the lower officials are also for the sake of the local people, so they will do these things. Now that people's lives are back to normal, they should be rewarded and not punished. But if the emperor thinks that the lower official lied about the drought, he will really be punished... "

"It's not that there is no way to solve the problem. It's just that we should ask the Heavenly Master to collect his magic power for the time being. A few days before the disaster relief bank arrives, he also asks him not to open the altar. If the two adults find out, it's hard for us to explain."

"That is to say, as long as we don't do the Dharma in the past few days, we can postpone the mage arranged recently for a while, and when we are winning, it's not too late, right?"

"Mr. Liu is really smart. You can understand what Mr. Gu means. If Lord song finds out that there is no abnormality here, he will not give you the relief money. Therefore, in weighing the pros and cons, you should consider it yourself."

At present, Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan can't think of any other good way to stop them from killing people and offering sacrifices to heaven. After all, Qianlong does not oppress the local villains. Now, if they can't do anything in their territory, they can only use such a slow down strategy.

This day, after hearing this, he was worried, "let me do the law the day before yesterday, and the rain will come soon. Now let him retreat, but he can't go back!"

"Did the teacher misunderstand us? What the two of us mean is that as long as you don't look at the practice, how the rain comes from is purely the will of God. We all can see through it and don't tell you. But if you continue to do it, you will be escorted inside, and the two adults will know. I'm afraid things will not be so simple. "

After hearing Gu Huai'an's words, the false Celestial Master was relieved. It seems that his actions during this period of time have not had any serious consequences. Even the two senior officials from the capital city did not express any dissatisfaction with their actions. On the contrary, they praised him very much. He also agreed directly and stopped the practice of opening the altar for the time being.

Liu Yue arranged for Shen Qianshan and Gu Huai'an to rest in the post house. After hearing the news that the disaster relief bank was coming soon, Liu Yue was also very excited. Gu Huai'an didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Yue. He had just arrived at the post house and sat together to discuss.

"Lord, what should we do now? When the two of us left, the false Celestial Master had not left yet Gu Huai'an stretched out his muscles and bones. Today, he tried it out intentionally or unintentionally. The fake Celestial Master and Liu Yue could not even master martial arts, which made it convenient for them to inquire for information.

Shen Qianshan looked at the sky outside, "Huai'an, can you see the sky?"

Gu Huaian was suddenly asked this question. He turned his head and looked at Shen Qianshan. "I'm good at medical skills and martial arts. If you ask me about these things, I really can't, but I can give you two gossips about heaven and earth. If you want to hear it, I can tell you something about it."

"Forget it, I'm not interested. I've seen it in a book before. I heard that when cirrus clouds appear in the sky, there will be rainy weather. I don't know whether it's true or not..."
