With that said, Sun Buhan turned and left. He only took a step and stopped in confusion: "Although you and I have long had the intention to promote the blood sacrifice to open the Dragon Palace, the specific person may not be the prefect, and the speed is not that fast. There seems to be someone here. Intervene, do you know who it is?"
Speaking of this, Tianji Demon frowned even more: "I can't see through this matter. I can't expose it. It's full of fog. I don't know who did it."
"Could it be the King of Shu?" Sun Buhan guessed, shook his head, stopped talking, and disappeared into the rain.
In the courtyard, Su Ziji slept for half the night. When it was almost early in the morning, someone knocked on the door. He heard that the voice was from a wild Taoist. Although it was a bit strange, he knew that it was nothing serious and could not be disturbed.
"Don't be anxious, I'll get up right away." Su Ziji said, spent some time with a stick of incense, put on his clothes and came out. This is a three-in-three-outdoor courtyard. Although it is older, it was moved to the living room. Anxious wild man.
"What's wrong? You're so panicked. Can't you say it again at dawn?" Su Ziji said teasingly and yawned.
"The Fenghuan Dam has burst, and now the nearby counties have been flooded, including Linhua County!"
"How many casualties are there?" Su Ziji took a breath of air and suddenly woke up.
"It's almost winter now, and the water is not big yet. There is only three feet of water. The crops have been flooded. I'm afraid there will be a famine in the coming year."
"As for people, there shouldn't be large-scale drownings, but the beggar who spread the news said that he saw people being swept away by the water and disappeared into the mud. There must be a lot of this kind of thing."
Su Ziji's face turned pale: "Is this man-made or natural?"
"I don't know, I really don't know." The wild Taoist also showed a rare look of panic: "However, there is some movement in the Imperial Envoy's Mansion. It is said that the gate has been opened, and all the officials have been notified to go to the high platform immediately, and there are still empty prison cars. Arrive at the Yamen."
"The imperial envoy is going to kill someone."
Although when he learned that the river dam collapsed and several counties were flooded, he knew that there must be something going on, and Luo Pei would never give up.
But he didn't expect that Luo Pei would be so decisive and would kill Huang Liangping at dawn.
As for why Panlong Lake was chosen to build a high platform, Su Ziji had guessed that the imperial envoy might have planned to worship the river god here - the Dragon King of Shuifu.
This action immediately reminded Su Ziji of the blood sacrifices that had occurred in the Wei Dynasty.
"The imperial envoy plans to use the fifth-ranking official of the imperial court as a sacrifice and make a blood sacrifice to the dragon king by the lake?"
"Blood sacrifices have been canceled a long time ago. The Zheng Dynasty does not like the people to sacrifice to demons and gods. Even if they hold sacrifices, they mostly praise human gods."
"If this spreads, even if the flood is finally contained, the imperial court will not be able to spare this imperial envoy."
"It feels like the fish is dead and the net is broken."
"Let's go immediately!" With this thought, Su Ziji turned back and told Ye Buhui about the matter.
"Husband, if you want to go, take me with you. I'll go too!" Ye Buhui said.
"How could this happen? This is a matter of murder, why are you joining in the fun?" Su Ziji said in a low voice. Seeing that Ye Buhui had a worried look on his face, he was obviously afraid that something would happen to him, so he softened his heart again.
"It will definitely be very chaotic. If you go, I will have to watch you distractedly. This is not a good thing. Aren't you afraid of nightmares about killing people? Be obedient and wait for my news at home."
In fact, after blurting out the truth, Ye Buhui felt a little regretful.
After listening to Su Ziji's words, she could only frown and warn: "Then you must pay attention to safety and never take risks."
As he said this, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"Don't worry, I won't take any risks." Su Ziji touched her head and went out.
The wild Taoist was already waiting a little anxiously. When he saw him coming out, he immediately urged: "Sir, let's get on the bullock cart and let's talk."
There was a bullock cart parked on the side of the road. The young man who had been here before was wearing a raincoat and sitting in front of the cart.
Su Ziji and the wild Taoist men went up, and the bullock cart started moving.
On the way, the wild Taoist added: "I asked people to keep an eye on the imperial envoy and found that he had people prepare some tributes overnight and sent them to the high platform near the lake."
"People kept a close eye on the government office and discovered that the prison car was indeed the prefect Huang Liangping, and he was dragged out."
"The imperial envoy did not make any publicity about this matter. Although he did not deliberately hide the news, the procedure for killing a fifth-grade official is not so brief, so I noticed something was wrong."
"It may be a blood sacrifice." Su Ziji told the wild Taoist his guess: "My guess is good. I am afraid that the imperial envoy wants to open the water palace and awaken the dragon king."
"How dare they do this?" It's not like the wild Taoist couldn't guess this, but he didn't dare to think that a dignified imperial envoy would be so bold.
Is it easy to open the water palace?
Not to mention whether this blood sacrifice to the fifth-grade magistrate would make the court angry.
Let’s just talk about the subtle relationship between the human race and the monster race now. King Qi’s bold behavior is just colluding with the monster race in private. Although the Dragon Lord of Panlong Lake is a righteous god who was enshrined and worshiped by the previous dynasty, he is different from ordinary monsters, but this dynasty After its establishment, the imperial court never publicly offered sacrifices to the Dragon Lord, which already explains the problem.
If Luo Pei does this, isn't he afraid of causing disaster?
Unless... Luo Pei still has the authority to eliminate the flood and make meritorious deeds.
Or maybe, King Qi is powerful and many of them are monsters. This Luo Pei wants to contact Dragon Palace. Dragon Palace is the leader of the monsters, so he can offset King Qi's power?
Is this a fight for the king of Shu?
Su Ziji thought this way, and when he saw the wild Taoist's expression changing, he sighed: "I'm afraid something big is going to happen today."
"Actually, even the demon clan may not want Lord Long to appear at this time." The wild Taoist nodded.
Just like in troubled times, when the princes were separatist, conquests continued in various places, the big fish ate the small fish, the people were miserable, and they themselves were in danger. But if we want these princes, big and small, to return to the time when the emperor wisely ruled the world, they may not actually be able to do so. Yes, unless the person who ends the war and unifies the world is himself.
This may be the same for the current demon clan.
The Demon King has fallen, and no monsters, big or small, will obey anyone else, and each ethnic group has established themselves as kings.
Isn't this the case with water monsters?
The Dragon Lord disappeared, and the water monsters each became a tyrant. They missed the time when the monster clan was prosperous, but if they were to bow down to a new master again and worship him as their king, they might not be convinced.
Just then Su Ziji was thinking about it, and suddenly he was startled. He opened the car curtain. There was a cold rain sloping down, bringing a chill, but he didn't care. He just looked ahead and watched quietly. After a long time, he opened the car curtain. The curtain is lowered.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. We are already moving very quickly. We don't want anyone to be more careful. There are at least ten bullock carts passing by in front of us."
Su Ziji said, in fact, his Panlong Mental Technique was born out of the Dragon Palace, and several demonic auras flew towards Panlong Lake. Sure enough, this incident made the demon clan unable to sit still.
"We're here." After thinking about it, the young man driving the cart in front said softly, and the bullock cart slowly stopped.
"You stay here, I'll go with the young master." The wild Taoist said to the young man, and quickly got out of the car and left.
