34. Wonderful free reading!

During the three-day period, Ao Li brought back a large amount of rice grain.

Xie Ming made a promise, set up a tablet of the Dragon Lord, burned incense and prayed, and believed devoutly.

He is a parent and official of a place, he loves the people like a son, he has the trust and love of thousands of people in this place, and he has the golden light of morality. This time, Ao Li actually touched the threshold of becoming a fairy.

In this way, it becomes more and more indebted.

Rice and grain are like mountains, filling up the entire government office and still not being able to put it down.

Xie Ming released food to the living in the city.

Rice is like pearls, and porridge can be inserted into chopsticks without pouring.Victims flocked to the site, and there were countless people alive in one day.

The merchants who hoarded grain for price lost their money.

Xie Ming holds a large amount of rice grains and sells them at the pre-disaster market price, making those grain traders who are hoarding their goods and waiting for the price to sell them want to eat his flesh and blood for a while.

But half a day later, the trend turned again.

"My lord, the grain merchants are buying a large amount of the grain we sell!"

When the little official came to report the time, Xie Ming was calculating that the rice in his hands could keep the people of the whole area alive for two months.

If you are frugal, you may not be able to last three months.

"Hateful!" Xie Ming's face was ashen when he heard this, ink was splashed on the pen, and the paper was smeared.

"Let the guards take people!"

"But the prime minister," the little official murmured.

The grain merchants colluded with the prime minister's clan, and if they took people, they would definitely offend the prime minister.

"Get someone!" Xie Ming was furious.

He worked so hard to save people's lives, so how could these minor disasters be tolerated? !

When the room was as quiet as before, Ao Li slowly revealed his figure from the side.

"If everything you do is in vain," he wanted to make a point, but he couldn't tell the truth because of the unrevealed secret.

Xie Ming burned the smeared paper to ashes, and the paper ashes flew like a butterfly with broken wings, "I will stick to my wish. To live ten thousand people, I wish; to live one person, I also wish. I will not regret what I wish."

Long Jun can understand but doesn't understand.

He has practiced for a long time, and the vicissitudes of life are only a blink of an eye, let alone the changes in the world.Life and death are destiny, so why force it?It is doomed that this Longxing land will go through all kinds of catastrophes. Wouldn't it be ridiculous, sad and pity for a mere mortal to be a cart?

Ao Li looked at Xie Ming's body that was getting thinner day by day, then quietly disappeared again.What does all this have to do with him?The catastrophe was not caused by him, nor can he save it, but it is just a little bit of faith, and by the way, it compensates for the cause and effect.

In the dead of night, He Boshi came to look for Lord Long.

"Mr. Long, you must not intervene any longer." He Bo glanced resentfully.

Ao Lihuan leaned against the outer wall of Xie Ming's bedroom and closed his eyes to sleep, pretending that he didn't hear.

"You don't know that the people who have been saved by this rice grain will still die in the chaos of war in the future." The rescue is in vain.

"Nowadays the catastrophe is slowed down by one day, and Wang Daoxing will be delayed by a hundred days in the future. The casualties are even more difficult to count. It's not that we are indifferent, but we should thank you for the countless good causes. There will be retribution in the next life, so you don't have to worry about it. "So let's go now.

Ao Li opened his eyes, "Get lost."

Little Uncle He, dare to meddle in his affairs!

"Well, if you are obsessed with your obsession, how can this, this, be good?" He Bo circled around on the spot. "Master Xie insisted on saving people. Although he was optimistic for a while, he missed the king's Dao Daxing. From now on, he will be blamed for harming the good cause. If you intervene, Lord Dragon, Heaven will also remember your mistakes."

Even these little gods and fairies will be liquidated together.

Ao Li was about to beat him, when he heard a movement in his ear.There are villains sneaking into the government office!

He was about to settle it, but the hem of his clothes was held tightly by He Bo.

"Dragon Lord, Dragon Lord! Listen to me, the catastrophe will be delayed for one day, and the prosperity will be delayed for a hundred days! This is not a merit, you will all be punished by heaven!"

More than a dozen people sneaked into the government office, and the lifelines of those who could survive in those disaster years were soaked in fire oil and burned.

damn

Ao Li remained motionless.

I can only watch helplessly, seeing Xie Ming furious, seeing him rushing into the sea of ​​flames and holding out a handful of red-hot ashes, seeing his heart ashamed, the faith in his eyes drowned by despair.

On the second day, rumors abounded.

Mr. Xie, who loves the people like a son, colluded with grain merchants and secretly burned rice grains.

Xie Minggao sat in the government office and insisted on trying the case.

Inside the government office, every grain merchant had no fear, refused to plead guilty, and even found out that the officials colluded with each other inside and outside the government office to set fire to the grain;

There is still no letter from the imperial city.

Xie Ming ignored the obstruction and opened the warehouse to release the grain.

The little official cried and begged.

"My lord, if you open a granary privately, you will definitely die. The law is merciless, not to mention that the prime minister is now with the emperor. If he wants to kill you, it is just an imperial edict. My lord is innocent all his life, why should he leave such a stigma?"

"Don't be afraid of death, why be afraid of fame? Give food!"

Xie Ming acted vigorously.

The food was released to stabilize the hearts of the people, and then the case was drastic.

Those grain merchants who drove up the price of rice, the wealthy households who colluded with the grain merchants, and the villains who set fire to the grain were punished one by one.

While the heads are rolling, there are countless living people.

The atmosphere of the city is clear.

Ao Li has not appeared during this time.

He can't do anything.

Mortals do not understand.There are permanence in the sky, and you can't do anything against the sky.

Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and national subjugation are all God's will.

Human beings are nothing more than grass in floods, dew in droughts, and dust in earthquakes. The small ones are pitiful, the weak ones are innocent.

God's will is like a torrent, and if people follow it, they will prosper, and if they go against it, they will perish.

Ao Li understands the reason for persuading himself like this, but it is hard to understand.

He Bo hosted a banquet for Lord Long at the Water Mansion.

"Dragon Lord just became enlightened, maybe he has seen less? The ups and downs of the world are just like this." He Bo gathered the nearby water veins with a radius of hundreds of miles and sank them deep into the ground to help Wang Daoxing this time. .

It's not that he can't hear the mourning above his head, but it's been like this for thousands of years, so he's used to hearing it.

Ao Li looked at him contemptuously.

Counting the days of becoming a demon, Ao Li, the dragon king, lived longer than He Bo!

Few farts have been seen!

Just eyes open and closed, the thin literati was wearing a green shirt, his eyes were obviously thin and lonely but still as calm as a mountain, his eyes covered by ashes were no longer bright and gray when he first saw him.

Ao Li felt uncomfortable.

God's punishment is God's punishment, so what if he makes rice again?

Rescuing people or saving them wrong?There is no such reason!

"The emperor is in a daze, how can he make it clear?" He Bo drank too much wine, shaking his head drunkenly, "Master Xie is the one who can lift a thousand weights. Whether it is saving people or killing people, the fate of this dynasty is in his hands." One body. When he dies, his vitality will be exhausted, and the kingly way can be revived."

Ao Li overturned the table, beat He Bo, and rushed out of the water mansion.

He Bo, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, couldn't stop him, he held his bleeding head and counted.

"It's done, it's not wasting my hard work. Hey!"

The seventeen disaster emergency reports can't be exchanged for only a few words in the imperial city. Once the warehouse is opened to release grain, it will arrive within three days after the order is issued.

Xie Ming had no expression on his face, and knelt down to accept the order.

"Thank you, sir, you are ordered to enter Beijing immediately."

"The minister leads the decree, thank you."

Ten miles outside the city, the people saw each other with tears.

Thirty miles outside the city, Xie Ming died.The hot blood soaked the dry and cracked land, but unfortunately there is no rain today.

"Master Xie, you are a good official. But the prime minister strictly ordered that the drought in this place must not be known to the heavenly family. I kill you today, and I am ashamed of my heart for doing such an unjust thing. You take a step first, and I will kill myself later, and then I will kill you. You apologize."

"Thank you. No need."

When Ao Li arrived, the thin corpse seemed to be in a deep sleep, with a calm face, no harm and no pain, as if he had found a paradise in a dream.At Xie Ming's feet, there was a dead body kneeling, disembowelled, punishing himself for his sins.

The wind was raging and the clouds were overwhelming the city, but it never rained.

He Bo was exhausted and almost died, and he tried his best to collect all the rainwater caused by the Dragon Lord's anger.

Xie Ming's body was brought back to the government office by Ao Li, and the whole city mourned.

Xie Ming was buried under the powdery loess.

He Bo followed Long Jun in fear every day, fearing that he would rain rain when he was angry, and he was also afraid that he would shoot himself to death, so life was very difficult.

Ao Li didn't know what he was doing either.There used to be such a person in this city, his shadow was everywhere at the gate of the yamen and on the corners of the streets.

He looked back and forth, thought back and forth, and couldn't figure it out, but the uncomfortable feeling was distinct.

The disaster is still going on.

Without Xie Ming, the grain merchants who were released from prison became more unscrupulous, the price of grain soared, and it was not uncommon for them to change their sons to eat.

Ao Li was indifferent.

"That fat man?" Standing on the corner of the street again, Ao Li saw a person he was not familiar with.

"Oh, that's a relative of the prime minister's family." He Bo wiped his sweat.

"Alive?" Ao Li remembered that this man was beheaded by Xie Ming for setting fire to food.

"Of course, the jailer secretly changed people before he was executed." He Bo was trembling, always thinking that Lord Long was going crazy.

"Why is he alive?" Ao Li narrowed his eyes, biting his words like chewing bones, showing his sharpness.

"It's because he didn't deserve to die!" He Bo quickly explained, "He was one of the disasters in this place."

In the middle of speaking, He Bo indifferently closed his mouth, and one of the calamities had already been smashed into mud by the claws of the Dragon Lord who had transformed into his original form.

"Look, the catastrophe is gone, where is the scourge?" Ao Li smiled maliciously.

Should a catastrophe mean death?

Xie Ming is doomed to die early?

All evil is immortal, all good is hard to extend!

Now that he has messed up the calculations of the Dao of Heaven, he was punished by God even before seeing him!

Once the dynasty should be destroyed, and once the dynasty should be prosperous, it should be in endless rotation.

Xie Ming shouldn't be allowed to become a stepping stone to the kingly way of heaven!

Since this dynasty is doomed to perish, what's the point of adding fire to it!

He should have done it long ago!

The golden scales glistened and soared into the sky, that ray of golden light pierced the sky and split the sky.

The imperial city rained continuously for ten days, flooding the palace, the emperor collapsed, the prime minister died, and 70 people died.

It is rumored in later generations that when it rains, there will be thunder and thunderbolts, and a golden dragon will fall at night, and the sound will be mourned for ten miles.

On the second day, it rained and the sky cleared, and the golden dragon disappeared.

During those ten days of heavy rain, the city wall was destroyed and the dynasty was destroyed. Chaos suddenly broke out everywhere, and wars and conquests continued.In a land with severe drought, there is a kingly way, which will eventually rule the rivers and mountains.

The new emperor's enthronement days are short, long-cherished and sleepless nights, diligent in government and loving the people, is beyond reproach.The only thing that arouses suspicion is to build a temple for the emperor.

The Lord Xie Fujun enshrined in the Fujun Temple, surrounded by a golden dragon, is in charge of the drought and protects one side for good weather.

The incense in the temple is at its peak, and it will last forever.
