Everyone looked at Ming Xi in confusion.
Mingxi didn't show off, and shocked the whole village with one sentence: "The people in Taiqing Palace are a bunch of liars!"
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
"Ouch, I know this!" Mrs. He said excitedly, "I just heard from the old sister-in-law in the next village that something big happened in Huai'an County today! Duan Zhenren came to Huai'an County to pray, but God punished him! Duan Zhenren and Everyone in the Taiqing Palace was beaten until they were lying on the ground and couldn't get up. They even said that they were cheating on their reputation and stealing the world. If they wanted to punish them, they could only crawl back like dogs! That scene was so miserable..."
Mrs. He talked and gestured as if she was immersed in the scene.
Of course, Mingxi and Tian Zhenzhen were not the only people who went to the county seat today. Some people immediately brought the news back to the village after witnessing the incident in Taiqing Palace. Mrs. He was obviously the most knowledgeable about gossip and got to know about it first.
Everyone was stunned by the news.
"What kind of divine punishment? How come you can't afford to be beaten?"
"Mr. He, are you saying that Duan Zhenren was lying on the ground and crawling back to Taiqing Palace? How is this possible?!"
"Mrs. He, you should speak more clearly!"
Zhao Lizheng had no choice but to strike the gong with a frown——
Poof!
The sound of the gong immediately silenced everyone again.
"What does it look like to be noisy and chattering?" Zhao Lizheng said with a frown, "Let's first listen to what the Ming family's wife has to say."
Mingxi tried to make his voice louder so that everyone could hear it clearly, and raised his voice and said: "The Taiqing Palace colluded with the Lin family and wanted to slander me and my daughter as evil spirits, so they asked Hammer to come to the door of my courtyard in the middle of the night. got these things.”
As she spoke, she raised the dustpan in her hand to let everyone see the soil in the dustpan clearly.
"People from Taiqing Palace added turmeric to the soil. Once this substance encounters alkali..."
Mingxi paused when she said this. She thought these people didn't understand what acid-base reaction was, so she changed her explanation and continued: "This kind of thing will turn red once it encounters water with plant ash added, Duan Zhenren This is how to slander innocent people into monsters! When I say this, you may still not understand enough, so I took some soil and some plant ash in front of my yard and will demonstrate it to everyone now! I wonder who can help? Can I get a basin of water?"
"I'll come!" A strong man raised his hand and quickly brought a basin full of water from home.
Mingxi first sprinkled the soil on the dustpan near the old willow tree, then mixed the plant ash into the water and stirred it evenly, and then poured the soil on the soil in full view of everyone.
Everyone exclaimed: "Oh my God! Look, it's turned red!"
"It's really red, like blood!"
"Taiqing Palace actually used this method to harm people, who would have thought..."
"Ouch! Aunt Liu?! Someone come and help! Fourth Aunt Liu has fainted!"
Suddenly someone among the villagers fainted. Everyone helped the person up, pinched him and shouted, and finally woke him up.
Zhao Lizheng frowned and said, "Two people will come and send her back to rest."
Everyone was talking about it, why did such a good person suddenly faint?
"Are you hungry? Last year's harvest was not good, and this year's surplus grain will not be much left after paying the land tax. The Liu family has been living a tight life these days."
Less than half of the families in the village have enough to eat, and most of them live with their belts tightened.
"I know this!" Mrs. He became active again, "Not long after Xiaojuan's daughter married to Xishan Village, the Taoist priests from Taiqing Palace poured a basin of blood on her, saying that she was an unlucky person and that her husband's family wanted to divorce her. , Xiaojuan’s daughter committed suicide by throwing herself into a well!”
Fourth Aunt Liu's name is Xiaojuan, and Mrs. He is senior, so she calls her by her first name.
Ming Xi's heart moved slightly after hearing this, and she looked at Aunt Liu who had been helped away in the distance.
She remembered that Aunt Liu, before she traveled through time, had taken her daughter to eat and feed herself. In addition to helping her brother, sister-in-law, and Li Zheng's family, Aunt Liu also sent food twice.
The Liu family itself was not rich and had not enough food to eat, but they were still willing to provide food to support her. Only now Mingxi knew the reason why.
The chatter in my ears continued.
"It's better to die than to live. You can't commit suicide."
"I still remember her daughter's appearance when she was a child. She was delicate, filial and sensible."
"I guess I'm worried that I'm an unlucky person and will harm my father and mother when I go home, so I can only die. Alas..."
Some people were sad, and some were angry.
"Isn't what Taiqing Palace did like this harmful to people's lives?! We have to go to the government to report them!"
"Yes! Let the officials arrest them all!"
"Everyone, calm down," Ming Xi said in a loud voice, "The government officials have already gone to investigate. I am telling you this today in the hope that you will no longer be deceived. Don't believe it if you have a talisman begged from the Taiqing Palace at home. If I bought the medicine from Taiqing Palace, it’s best to go to a doctor to check it and make sure it’s effective before taking it.”
The people in the village felt relieved when they heard that the government had come forward.
Mingxi added: "Everyone must know that according to the law of the imperial court, a wife who has something to support but has no one to rely on cannot be divorced. Having something to support means giving birth to a child, and having no support means having no one to rely on at home. Supported by parents and brothers, once such a woman is divorced, she will often go to a dead end, so the court will promulgate this law. However, if this woman is smeared as a nemesis, a broom star, or an ominous person, the people will often not be promoted to official positions. No matter what, even if you accuse the official, you will only end up with nothing. Taiqing Palace has been here for decades, and I don’t know how many innocent people have been harmed. So I hope everyone can tell the evil deeds of Taiqing Palace. Let more people recognize the true face of Taiqing Palace!"
"That's right! Everyone must know about this!"
"How can there be such a hateful person in the world! Our village prays and worships God every year, but we spend a lot of money!"
"Last year, most of the crops in the field died due to drought. We were too poor to raise the pot. Our village also tried every means to raise money for incense to pray to the gods. The Taiqing Palace deceived even this kind of money. It is simply inhumane!"
Zhao Lizheng's face was extremely ugly. There was a custom in the village that every year on the first day of the new year, people would pay a sum of incense money to the Taiqing Palace to pray for good weather in the new year.
Not only did Heshang Village pay this money, but Hexia Village and several surrounding villages also paid it. No matter how hard it was that year, there would be no shortage of Taiqing Palace's incense money.
But who knew that this money would actually be handed over to a bunch of scammers!
Zhao Lizheng felt a tightness in his chest when he thought of this!
It’s been decades, what a huge amount of money this must be... Ah, I can’t think about it anymore, I feel so bad for him!
"It will get better and better in the future," Ming Xi reassured everyone, "We are already aware of Taiqing Palace's deception and will not be fooled again. The government will definitely try its best to help everyone get justice."
Zhao Lizheng finally felt better after hearing this.
Yes, now that there is a God of Joy in the village, things will get better and better in the future.
Zhao Lizheng looked at Mingxi, with tears of emotion flashing in his eyes!
