Chapter 303: Thunder in a Clear Sky
"Tell me quickly, what the clue is?" Hua Dansen urged impatiently.
Just then, Governor Sun walked in. "What clue?"
Hua Danshen was sincere towards his uncle's family and hoped that they could stay together for a long time, so he told them everything. Governor Sun looked at Jiang Fengqiao with an understanding expression.
"Are you referring to the matter of offering sacrifices?" Governor Sun sighed. "This matter has been spread a long time ago. Many people even learned to offer sacrifices to Wuwang in order to live longer, but it didn't work at all."
“Some people even felt that it didn’t work in other places, probably because it was not the right place, so they all moved to Fengze County.”
"But later on, they moved away one after another, which shows that the rumor that as long as you worship Wuwang, you will not get sick and live a long life is false."
"Besides, a man like the Duke is a mortal enemy of Wuwang, so it is impossible for him not to pay attention to this matter."
"Then your clue is not a clue."
Jiang Fengqiao smiled and shook his head, "General Sun, this is true, because I am from Fengze County."
"I was once given the title of 'shit' scholar. The 'shit' here refers to excrement, because when I was taking the imperial examination, I was covered in it."
Hua Danshen and Governor Sun were surprised when they heard this. He had actually experienced such a thing?
"Later, when I was taking the imperial examination, a gust of wind blew a piece of cheat sheet in for no reason. I wanted to argue that my essay was better than the one on the cheat sheet, but the result was..."
Jiang Fengqiao's face was bitter, "My mind is blank, I can't write a single word."
"From now on, I will be charged with plagiarism."
Hua Danshen and Governor Sun were both shocked. Was it really that weird? Jiang Fengqiao's talent was obvious to all.
"So, this is the reason why you can't do scientific research?" At this moment, Hua Dansen felt sympathetic towards his aide.
Jiang Fengqiao nodded.
Governor Sun thought for a while and asked, "So the clue you want to tell the Duke is that this transaction offering is real?"
"Yes, but the main thing is to explain to the Duke the consequences of breaking off the deal, which is illness. The reason why the people are so protective of Wuwang is that they are afraid of this."
Jiang Fengqiao also had his own selfish motives. He felt that since the Duke was able to fight against Wuwang, there must be capable people around him, and perhaps that person could cure the disease that plagued him after the broken deal.
If this is really possible, then his family will be relieved.
Governor Sun still had some questions and asked, "Since you said it was true, why did it not work for others to learn to worship it?"
Jiang Fengqiao: "Replying to the Governor, that's because those people are not the people of Fengze County and their descendants who were saved by Wuwang more than a hundred years ago."
After hearing this, Governor Sun understood, "You mean, only the people who were rescued and their descendants can be included?"
"Yes!" Jiang Fengqiao didn't understand what was going on, but he was definitely not wrong.
"Okay, then let's send a letter to the Duke." Governor Sun immediately made the decision and instructed Jiang Fengqiao, "You write the content of the letter and send it to the people in Liang County by carrier pigeon. Then have them send it to Duke Lu as soon as possible."
Jiang Fengqiao was about to leave when he received the order, but Governor Sun stopped him again, "Add another sentence to the letter. Sun Youde is willing to help the Duke to clear out all the rebels in Jiangnan."
"Yes!" Jiang Fengqiao went down.
Hua Danshen frowned and thought, no rebels were found in Jiangnan, so why did his uncle say that he wanted to wipe out the rebels?
"uncle?"
Governor Sun smiled meaningfully, stroking his beard and said, "Don't worry, nephew. Your uncle will definitely be able to board the Duke's ship."
Humph, he didn’t spend all these years in Jiangnan in vain. He knew very well who were the Wuwang people.
Hua Danshen knew his uncle well, so since he said so, it must be true. But his uncle was really something, not telling him earlier, causing him to worry about missing the boat to board Duke Lu.
"Uncle..." He was just about to complain when he heard Xiao Si's voice from outside.
"Your Highness, there is a man outside who claims to be Princess Fufei's man. He has brought a letter."
When Hua Danshen heard this, he immediately strode out and said, "Where is the person? Take me there quickly."
Almost all members of the Hua family had been killed by Wuwang. Even though he didn't like this aunt, he was still very happy to hear the news about her.
Outside Fengze County
The Qilin Guard army was standing in front of them. Lu Yu stood beside her grandfather and looked at the people waving sharp weapons such as kitchen knives and hoes at the city gate. She became angry.
Knowing that he cannot defeat the Qilin Guards, he still does this. Isn't he just betting that his grandfather won't kill civilians indiscriminately?
"Grandfather, are we going to continue to be in this stalemate?"
Lu Jingmo sighed, "Of course we can't keep on being in this stalemate, but we can't kill all these people either."
"Grandfather, look at them. They don't look like ordinary people at all. They are just a bunch of thugs. We, the Qilin Guards, are all very quiet, but they are the ones shouting and yelling for war and killing."
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and became more and more angry.
Taoist Master Xizu silently moved a few steps to the side. When Miss Lu Yu was angry, her aura was quite scary.
When Xie Huanzhu saw that her sister was angry, she secretly ran behind the Qilin Guards and made a hushing gesture to them.
The Qilin Guards nodded secretly in response.
She took out the black pestle and the black hammer, locked her spiritual sense on the person who was cursing the loudest on the city wall, and hit the iron pestle with the iron hammer.
The person who cursed the most fiercely was an old man. Perhaps he was tired of cursing, and was about to pick up the kettle beside him to drink some water when he heard a noise, his eyes became bright, and he felt a pain on the top of his head again, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
When others saw it, they were horrified.
"This, this, how could there be thunder on such a sunny day?"
"There was absolutely no warning, it was like a bolt of lightning that suddenly struck."
"The most important thing is that it hit Old Man Liu accurately."
Everyone understood what he meant. Old Man Liu wanted to inform everyone that the Qilin Guards had come to protect Master Wuwang.
“Did we do it wrong?”
"Don't talk nonsense, we did nothing wrong. If anything happened to Master Wuwang, we would probably..."
Yes, one’s own life is about to be lost, who cares whether it is a punishment from heaven?
Since we are all going to die, we might as well give it a try.
The people standing on the city wall are all over 60 years old, and they are also the group most afraid of returning from illness.
Old man Liu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of black air.
"Look, Old Man Liu is not dead."
Everyone was surprised and said, "This must be Master Wuwang blessing him."
"Come and lend a hand, old man. Let's carry Old Man Liu down to see the doctor."
