In Tongde Building, Mrs. Xie reluctantly closed the book in her hand.
It's time to set off.
There is still a long way to go from Tian'an County to Cizhou City. She is most annoyed by the bumpy journey, but she also understands that in life, there are many things that she can't put off even if she doesn't want to do them.
"Ma'am, we can't leave."
The maid walked into the room from the outside with an unhappy look on her face and glanced at the book in Madam's hand.
"You are still watching the Legend of the Dragon Girl. It's full of love and love. What's the point?"
"What happened?"
"The city gates have been sealed by the Tiqi people, saying that there are demons causing trouble."
As a member of the general class of monsters, the little maid was very unhappy.
Zhu Yan is a strange species that has been rampant in ancient times. According to rumors, it is a beast of disaster. Wherever it goes, it will inevitably lead to war and disaster.
Although the maidservant was taken in and educated by Mrs. Xie of Chen County at home since she was a child, she still has the nature of a ferocious beast, and only Mrs. Xie in front of her can control her.
Later, when she left the court and married into the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chen County simply took this little Zhu Yan as a dowry.
In addition to adding some confidence to Mrs. Xie, in the final analysis, I also know that no one can control this mutant except Mrs. Xie, and leaving it at home is just a disaster.
"Tiqi's people?"
Mrs. Xie was keenly aware of the problem.
"Well, a group of seventh-grade incompetents."
Most of the front-line operators in Tiqi are around the seventh level.
It seems that Shi Chibao is here.
Mrs. Xie made an inference in her mind.
Now the two leading figures in Cizhou Tiqi are Shi Chibao and Suche. I had met the old acquaintance before, and it seemed that he had become a knight-errant.
But this is normal. Su Che has just arrived at Tiqi and has not yet figured out the routines Tiqi uses.
The only one who could ask Tiqi to toss back and forth like this was that he was full.
But what was his purpose in making such a noise at this time?
"Madam, why don't you show your Langya Wang family's sign, and we can just leave."
"I'm somewhat interested in seeing what they are going to do." Mrs. Xie reopened the Legend of the Dragon Girl and said, "If they want to seal it, just seal it."
At the gate of Tian'an County, the county magistrate Pei Huai looked angrily at Zhu Yi, who was dressed in official attire.
"What does this mean? Why are the doors blocked?"
"It doesn't mean anything. It's just the punishment for being sentenced to thousands of households in Cizhou."
Zhu Yi was nominally Tiqi's spy in Tian'an County. In fact, his spy career was very successful. Everyone in Tian'an County basically knew that he was Tiqi's man.
Pei Huai took a deep breath to calm down.
"Lao Zhu, now is not the time to make witty remarks. Once the city gate is closed, where will the food and clothing of the people in the county come from?"
"We can't help each other through this difficult time."
Let’s get through this difficult time together.
Pei Huai smiled when he heard these four words.
"Are the victims outside waiting for the food in the official warehouse to eat porridge? Lao Zhu, once a popular uprising is triggered, it will be a big deal. Please tell the higher-ups and show your respect."
Zhu Yi didn't speak, just smiled.
In the silk shop, Su Che and Shi Chibao calculated an account together.
"There should be two days of food left in the porridge shed outside. Of course, this does not include the disaster victims who are coming one after another. This is counted as one day."
Suche wrote and drew on the paper.
"As the saying goes, if you don't die in one day, you need food, and if you don't die in three days, you need clothing. In the final analysis, you still need to live, so closing the city is actually a bad idea. Closing the city here and there is just a torment for the local government. What impact will it have on the city god?"
Suche looked at Shi Chibao.
"Sealing the city is a bad idea no matter how you look at it."
Su Che thought that going too far was not enough, and the target this time was the Tianan County City God, not the victims in Tianan County and outside the city.
If it really triggers a popular uprising, it will be a big storm.
At this time of the "Three Yang Tribulation", no more variables can be added.
"Brother, you don't know something." Shi Chibao said: "I actually just sealed him for six hours. After six hours, I opened a city gate for people to come in and out. As for the porridge shed outside, as long as there is food, nothing can go wrong. .”
Suche nodded, Shi Chibao's words were correct. For the victims who came from all over Cizhou, Tianan County was not the final destination, but just a transit point.
They are going to Jiankang and Jiangzhou.
If you have hot porridge in your mouth to soothe your internal organs, you still have to continue on your way.
"Master Ti Xing sealed it..." Su Che thought for a moment: "It's actually the human heart."
"Yes, it is just to make people in Tianan County panic."
Shi Chibao looked at Suche: "God is based on faith. Once people's hearts are in chaos, the world will be in chaos."
God is based on faith.
Suche thought about the meaning of Shi Chibao's words.
The foundation of Shinto practice is the incense of the human world, and when broken down further, it is the faith of the human heart. It can be said that the cultivation of gods and believers are closely related to each other.
So at the end of the dynasty, people's hearts were in turmoil, and it was also the time when gods were most likely to get into trouble. The old gods lost the support of their faith, and the new gods found an opportunity to rise up.
The chaotic thoughts of people are the stage for the gods to compete.
Tianan County City God, after all, the core of his belief is among the people of Tianan County.
It was at this time that Shi Chibao created man-made chaos and caused unrest in people's hearts, in order to get a glimpse of the reality of Tian'an County City God.
"This is the first move."
Shi Chibao looked at Suche.
"Then there's the second move."
Cizhou sentenced thousands of households to draw a list from their sleeves.
Suche took it and looked at the name on it.
"These people are..."
"They are all his core believers."
The names on this list include the temple blessings of the City God's Temple, several squires who have donated money to repair the City God's Temple, and some Xiangtou who often organize people to visit the City God's Temple.
Some of these people are truly devout to Tian'an County City God, and some are just doing business with each other.
But these people vaguely form a big network, and they are all important nodes in this network.
"I have asked the people below to invite these people away."
Shi Chibao showed off his ruthless skills as a veteran Tiqi, and after all, he is a character built through layers of hard work.
"Once these people left, he couldn't appease them even if he tried to appease them."
"Then there's step three."
Shi Chibao looked at Suche: "When the time comes, I'll ask my brother to take action with me and let him plead guilty and be punished."
"I don't think he's going to just sit there and wait for death."
Suche looked at Shi Chibao.
"If the city is just closed, it may take him half an hour to figure out who he is dealing with. Get rid of all his temple blessings and core believers, and he will definitely react."
"So we still have to fight with speed against slowness."
Shi Chibao looked at Suche: "Please go to the City God's Temple first and meet with this possessed City God for a while."
