Chapter one hundred and sixty-one worship
Li Dai left his daughter's residence with a bad look on his face.
He failed to achieve his goal and wanted back Zhao Chenji's profits. He also learned a new piece of news that slightly affected his self-confidence. Naturally, he was not in a good mood. At this time, all his thoughts were diverted to how to compete with his stepmother in the future.
Yong, what kind of stepmother should he choose to compete with his stepmother for the power of middle school? How can he have time to ask about his daughter's life in Saga Mountain? He is too lazy to take care of the disobedient children!
However, as a father, he was too lazy to take care of his daughter, but there were others who cared about Li Lijun. As soon as he left, Li Shen came to the door and asked Li Lijun worriedly: "Brother Dai, are you in trouble? I just saw him leaving.
His face is not very pretty."
Li Lijun smiled and invited him to sit down, and asked Erhong to serve tea. She answered his question lightly: "Aye didn't do anything. He just thought I had lived in your property for too long and urged me to move back to the forest farm."
Just go. I'm probably still angry that I took over the Dou family's property."
Li Shen said disapprovingly: "Our family is happy, but can he take care of it? Fortunately, he didn't know that Aweng had given this property to you, otherwise he might have tried to rob it."
Li Lijun felt that Li Dai would not be able to do such a thing: "If it were the property left by my mother, he might not care and give it away if he wanted to. But my great-uncle pointed out that it was for me, and he still didn't give it away."
As for dealing with him casually, otherwise the clan elders will not let him go easily."
Besides, this property has special significance to both Li Lijun and King Zou, so they will cherish it, but Li Dai may not value it. From his perspective, this is just a property hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City.
It's just a "village property" in Liyuan. When Chen Weng was alive, he looked down on this place, and of course he couldn't think of it as important now.
He was afraid that he simply didn't connect the property of Prince Zou's Mansion with his deceased wife's "parent's vegetable farm" in his memory.
Li Lijun didn't intend to point out this fact, so Li Dai kept thinking that she got the Dou Family Forest Farm, but she didn't think it was comfortable enough to live there, so she stayed in the villa of Prince Zou's Mansion. Anyway, Prince Zou's Mansion wouldn't say anything.
, What does it matter if Li Dai chatters a few words? After he returned to Chang'an, she became even more quiet.
Li Lijun didn't want to mention Li Dai anymore, so she changed the subject: "Uncle Shen, have you just been to the Liujiazhuang area? I heard some gossip, and I don't know whether it is true or not. I asked Uncle Shen to help me clear up my doubts."
Li Shen laughed when he heard this and said: "I also heard that Bieye's original housekeeper was good at communicating with people and gossiping. She must have told Bieye's servant girl about the rumors about Liujiazhuang, and the news reached your ears again.
Right? In fact, it’s nothing. Things in Liujiazhuang are indeed becoming more and more strange as they spread, and I can’t believe it. If it weren’t for the physical evidence, I would have thought that someone deliberately made up lies to deceive the world!”
The news Li Shen learned in Jingyang was similar to what Shi Qing had learned through repeated inquiries, but it was fresher and more comprehensive.
Under pressure from all aspects, the Jingyang County Magistrate finally admitted the fact that "big snakes eat people". Although the big snake itself has not been seen yet, there are large snake scales and traces of the snake crawling on the side of the meteorite cave.
This indirectly proves the existence of the giant snake. With Liu Dalang's confession, the government also found the place where the giant snake's bones were piled up after eating people, which gave an explanation to the families of the victims. Now, government notices have been posted all over Jingyang to remind the public.
Be careful of the giant snake. Once someone finds its traces, report it to the government immediately to avoid being harmed by it.
Liu Dalang has already been brought before the court and tried for being an accomplice of the big snake, and now he is just waiting for the verdict. Li Shen estimates that he can escape the death penalty, but it is inevitable that he will be sentenced to life, and there is an 80% chance of being exiled. However, the family members of the murdered official's son
If he hates him so much, whether he will be allowed to reach the place of exile safely is another matter.
The Liu family got rid of the suspicion of crime, but after Liu Dalang appeared in the family, they were also disgraced. They stepped up their efforts to sell the houses and properties under their names, and planned to move to a place where no one knew them and start over.
Villagers in Liujiazhuang and several nearby villages began to worship the "Rat King" secretly. Firstly, it was because the "Rat King" was rumored not to hurt people, and would pay gold for eating their livestock, even if they sometimes paid
It's a little late, gold is always real, and no one loses anything, but gains something. Naturally, my heart is biased towards it, hoping that one day it will visit the family's livestock shed, so that the family can also make a fortune. Secondly, the same is true.
Because the whereabouts of the giant snake Liu Dalang mentioned was unknown and it would return to its lair next to Liu's Village at some time, the villagers were worried that it would eat people again, so they hoped that the rumored "Rat King" with great powers could protect them.
After the village man who had been kidnapped came back, he said many powerful words about the "Rat King", such as how huge it was, how powerful it was in whipping up strong winds, and how powerful it was with its tail.
The "Rat King" also has a grudge against the giant snake. He came to settle a score with it. When he found out that it was not around, he dared to occupy its lair to dig for gold. He must have been able to give it a fight even if he saw the giant snake. Now.
The villagers had nowhere to turn to for help. There was such a powerful "Rat King" living nearby, and of course they hoped it would protect them.
If you only need to sacrifice a few livestock to satisfy the "Rat King" and be willing to protect the people of the village, how can they be reluctant to part with it? Although the villagers are not rich, they can grit their teeth and get a few chickens and a sheep.
They could get it. The wealthy Liu family who had already decided to move out were pressured and donated a group of livestock specifically to worship the "Rat King". It is said that the "Rat King" has already eaten two of their sheep.
, it should mean that I agreed.
The nearby Zhuangzi was also worried that the giant snake would pass by and hurt people, and also wanted the gold of the "Rat King", so he followed suit. Now there is a lot of news in the local area. It is said that the local wealthy people intend to build a small temple for the "Rat King".
It can be regarded as providing it with a place to stay.
When Li Shen talked about these things, he laughed while talking. He really didn't know whether he should lament the ignorance of the villagers or criticize the local government for their negligence. It is the government's responsibility to protect the villagers, but as a result, every villager turned to the monster.
The Jingyang County Magistrate still thinks that he has done a good job and wants to be promoted. I really don't know what to say.
Li Lijun didn't know what to say. People in the Liujiazhuang area actually planned to build a temple for the gopher? Did the little mouse really want to abandon his gold mine hometown and stay in Jingyang countryside to live in incense? She let Liu Dalang and the village go.
During the Han Dynasty, we never expected that things would develop to this point!
She looked at Li Shen and carefully tested: "Uncle Shen, so to speak, apart from the unknown whereabouts of the giant snake, Liujiazhuang has returned to peace now, right? If I send someone to take over the fields, there should be no big deal.
question?"
Li Shen smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. I have already made arrangements and am asking them to turn over the land in the two villages and prepare to plant winter wheat. It is already a bit late in the season, but I hope I can make it in time." He
Even the land in Liujiazhuang has been arranged.
Li Lijun hurriedly thanked him and then tried again: "Uncle Shen, have you ever seen the rumored giant snake's lair? What's it like inside?"
Li Shen said hurriedly: "It's just a hole dug in a stone mountain. People probably lived in it, but it has been abandoned for many years and turned into a snake cave. The hole is messy and dirty, and there is nothing interesting to see. You can't
Don't go in! No one dares to get close to it now. It would be bad if you meet a big snake. Even if you meet the 'rat king', although it is rumored that it is not harmful to people, who can say?
