After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Luo Chi smiled guiltily and didn't dare to respond.

County Magistrate Luo left with a gloomy face. He still suspected that there was something wrong with his own kid, but the matter had already caused an uproar in the whole city, and he really had to take action.

Moreover, the kid's words had already told him the solution.

It is too difficult to target the mountain temple, but it is still possible to target a few "heretics".

As long as he stayed within the prescribed limits and controlled it well, there wouldn't be any trouble. He didn't know if this idea was Chi'er's, but it did seem quite interesting.

County Magistrate Luo asked someone to prepare a carriage and went to the mountain temple in person. He wanted to meet the child prodigy.

He was the county magistrate, unlike Fang Nanzhi, who had no foundation, so the mountain temple could be perfunctory.

The county magistrate spoke personally and finally got to see the person as he wished.

I don't know what the two sides talked about, but when County Magistrate Luo left, the yamen runners arrested four god servants, and the mountain god temple didn't react much.

The divine servant was imprisoned, and some people began to spread bad news in Puliu Town.

"Have you heard? The Mountain God has decreed that the county magistrate's son and several other juniors were disrespectful to the Mountain God and provoked divine punishment. The county magistrate, without distinguishing right from wrong, arrested the divine servants and intends to destroy the Mountain God Temple!"

"How can that be? Pingshan Temple has angered the old immortal. How can we still live a good life?"

"The county magistrate can't discipline his own son, what's going on with the Guanshan Temple? Oh my god, there's going to be a big mess. The servants serve the mountain god. If they are captured, the mountain god will be furious and a sea of ​​blood will spread across thousands of miles!"

Fang Nanzhi curled her lips when she heard such words while walking on the street.

"Uncle, do you know how far ten thousand miles is? I'm afraid the mountain god's territory isn't that vast!"

"How dare you talk like that, little girl? Go away. Children should stay out of meddling in adult matters." The man glanced at him with a look of impatience.

Fang Nanzhi left angrily. She was already twelve and was no longer considered a child.

However, she was not in a hurry to go back and continued to stroll on the street.

"The mountain god has protected us for many years. Now that his servant has been captured, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

"Yes, yes, blasphemy will bring disaster. If the mountains collapse and the earth cracks, how many people will die?"

Someone is constantly inciting.

But some people feel something is wrong.

"Is it true that the divine servant tortured and killed young boys and girls?"

"How can ordinary people like us know whether it's true or not? The servants of the gods are all acting according to the orders of the mountain god!" someone retorted loudly.

Fang Nanzhi looked at the man and said nothing.

As they walked a little further, Uncle Yuan couldn't help but lower his voice: "Miss, should we spread some more rumors?"

Obviously, someone wanted to incite the people and rescue the gods and their servants.

If this goes on, won’t all their previous efforts be in vain?

"No need." Fang Nanzhi was very calm.

This was nothing, just some ghosts and monsters jumping out. She believed that County Magistrate Luo knew what was going on.

In the past, County Magistrate Luo didn't care about the mountain temple and even had to give it some leeway.

But the situation is different now. He has already taken action, and he has to make some waves, otherwise it will seem that the county magistrate is afraid of the mountain temple.

No one cared about these people jumping like that, and Fang Nanzhi felt that the county magistrate did it on purpose.

Although the mountain temple cannot be directly eradicated, the county magistrate certainly wants to take the opportunity to weaken its power and keep its existence within a controllable range.

This is just the beginning. In the future, perhaps County Magistrate Luo will find other evidence to hold against the Mountain God Temple. As time goes by, the people's faith in it will gradually weaken. By then, it is possible that the Mountain God Temple will be completely destroyed.

The person who jumped out now was exactly the person the county magistrate wanted to deal with this time.

Why should Fang Nanzhi worry about it?

Her guess was correct. The county magistrate remained calm on the surface and let the rumors spread all day.

In fact, they were already investigating other evidence against the gods' servants, and those with ill intentions were also being secretly remembered.

The next day, the county magistrate held a public hearing on the main street of Puliu Town.

In order to allow the people of the entire town to be witnesses, County Magistrate Luo did not send the person to the county town.

Indeed, most of the people in the town came after hearing the news, and Fang Nanzhi, his master and servant also squeezed into the crowd to watch the fun.

At the beginning, many people incited and urged the county magistrate to release the divine servant and not to make mistakes.

At this moment, the child prodigy appeared.

He was filled with compassion, and standing in the crowd, he said: "You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself."

"The mountain god is a spirit that protects the people. How could he treat human life as a joke? It's just that someone has a selfish motive."

After saying this, he left under human protection.

The people were confused. What does this mean?

County Magistrate Luo appeared at this time, with a look of deep sorrow on his face.

"Alas, I have recently discovered that the mountain temple has been using living people for sacrifice since fifty years ago. Such barbaric and tyrannical behavior has occurred under my jurisdiction. It is truly a dereliction of duty on my part."

County Magistrate Luo glanced at the people in the audience and then looked at the divine servants who were tied up and kneeling in a row.

"After my investigation, I found that it was the divine servants who distorted the mountain god's will and deliberately committed evil!"

"What do you mean? Wasn't the sacrifice of young boys and girls directed by the mountain god, who possessed the divine child?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The child prodigy just said that the mountain god protects the people. How could he harm people?"

The people were talking about it, and Fang Nanzhi listened with great interest, wanting to see how the county magistrate would make up for it.

"I've looked up the 'Mountain God Strategy' and it mentions human sacrifice. This is actually a ritual to consecrate young boys and girls to enlightenment. After enlightenment, the boys and girls are supposed to return to their families and walk the mortal world for the mountain gods, experiencing the various aspects of life."

County Magistrate Luo looked serious.

Fang Nanzhi scratched her head. She had borrowed the book "Mountain God Strategy" from the Mountain God Temple, but there was no such content at all.

It seems that the bottom line of this book is very flexible and can be added or deleted at will.

Magistrate Luo was an official appointed by the imperial court and could not speak publicly in favor of the mountain temple, but the words he borrowed from the book were enough.

The people will think for themselves.

"That makes sense. Mountain gods need to come to the human world to train, but our Puliu Town still needs the mountain god's protection. If it leaves, what will we do?"

"The mountain god couldn't bear to leave his people behind, and he also needed to cultivate, so he asked the boys and girls to help him gain experience?"

"Then why did the gods kill people?"

"You are so stupid! You don't even know this! The servants of the gods have selfish motives. They are just servants. They are afraid that there will be too many boys and girls, and their rights will be diluted."

"Oh my, the gods are so high up there, and their servants are half-gods, so why are they fighting like humans?"

"Look at what you said. Humans have their own struggles, gods have their own struggles, not to mention the mere servants of gods, most of whom are still human. Not only do they fight for power, but their families also run businesses! My neighbor's son is the son of a servant of gods. His family made a lot of money selling incense and bought a house with three entrances!"

"Is it true?" The people felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

It turns out that even if they burn incense and worship the gods, they may not get what they want, and the gods' servants rely on them to get rich!

Why!

Many people felt cheated and were very unwilling to accept it, as if someone was lying on them and sucking their blood.

Fang Nanzhi looked at the person who had first talked about the divine servant doing business. He had already walked away and seemed to have continued talking in another place.

The corners of her mouth curled up. This should be the person arranged by County Magistrate Luo.

When it comes to inciting people, not only the gods' servants can use it, but County Magistrate Luo can also use it.

What can most change people's mentality is naked interest.

The people knew that the gods' servants made money from them and lived a life of luxury, while they were still miserable. It would be strange if they could feel balanced.
