[Chapter 43 - The City God is a good thing] My adult loves the people as much as his son

Mu Qingshan smiled and took his hands off his eyes.

"I'm going to become a little cat." Shang Yunze wiped off a little coal ash from his face, "Why haven't you been asleep yet?"

"I stewed some medicine and cooked pork ribs." Mu Qingshan stood up and "make a midnight snack for you."

Shang Yunze helped him take the small jar off the fire.

"How are the people in Mujiazhuang?" Mu Qingshan took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet.

"I wanted to go out, but I held it back and chatted for more than an hour." Shang Yunze said, "Xiao Wu was also staring at him in secret. He should be calm tonight."

"But this is not a long-term solution," said Mu Qingshan. "It's impossible to meet our people every time the other party wants to go out."

"This method can't be used more naturally, but once or twice is fine." Shang Yunze said, "Besides, as Lu Zhui said, the Mu brothers' heads are far less useful than adults, so you don't have to worry too much."

Mu Qingshan nodded and asked curiously, "Then what excuses did you make? Talk to Mu Wanlei until now?"

"Gu Poison." Shang Yunze sat at the table with him, "It's better not to mention despicable things."

Mu Qingshan obediently handed him the bowl, "Well, don't mention these, drink soup."

"It smells so good." Shang Yunze sat at the small table with him, "Why did he suddenly remember to stew the soup for me?"

"You've been too tired recently." Mu Qingshan felt a little embarrassed, "I can't do anything else."

"The rest of them are also very tired." Shang Yunze stirred the small bowl, "Why just do it for me?"

Mu Qingshan was a little confused when asked.

"Hmm?" Shang Yunze looked at him with a smile.

"That's right." After thinking for a while, Mu Qingshan nodded seriously, "Then I'll find a big pot to stew tomorrow."

The Lord of Shangbao's smile suddenly stiffened.

That's not what he meant.

"Eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold." Mu Qingshan stood up, "I'll go back and rest first. I'll have to go to the morning market tomorrow and buy beef bones for everyone to come back to stew the soup."

Shang Yunze watched him leave the courtyard, his chest felt very stuffy.

Why does every time the development of things differ from what I had expected before?

It is a good thing to be a little bit stupid, but being so alone is really a headache...

Early the next morning, Mu Qingshan went to the market to buy ingredients. He asked Lao Wang to pull up the broken cart and get back three large bags of bones and bundles of onions, ginger and garlic. There was no way, there were many people in the government office.

"What are the master doing?" After smelling the fragrance, Wen Liunian walked over from the study.

Mu Qingshan said, "Everyone has been tired in recent days, so I can stew some medicinal food to supplement it."

"Thank you for your hard work," Wen Liunian nodded, "But it would be fine to leave this kind of thing to Aunt Wang. In the afternoon, you and I will go to the City God Temple together."

"Has the master who can communicate with others been invited?" Mu Qingshan shook the water droplets on his hand.

"It's in the dining room." Wen Liunian said, "The Lord Shangbao and the Left Guardian are accompanying him."

Mu Qingshan was a little puzzled, "Why didn't you go?" Why were you still wandering around?

Wen Liunian said, "Because the Left Guardian said that this official looked too weak and could not intimidate people."

Mu Qingshan paused and swallowed the words back - it was because he wanted to be fooled that he should go in person! After all, if it comes to cheating and scammers, no one in the city should be stronger than adults.

The mysterious beauty is the best evidence.

He was said to be a psychic master, but in fact he was just a sage witch in the neighboring townships. He had never seen any great world in his life. He was suddenly rushed into the house by a group of men in black in thick clothes. He was already quite frightened. Not to mention, he was even raised and stuffed into a carriage. He rushed straight into the prefect's office at lightning speed. When he took the tea from Hua Tang, he was trembling.

"Don't be afraid of everyone." Hua Tang said, "Not only did he not have any malice in this time, he still had something to ask for."

"Ask a little bit of a question to ask the girl." One of them studied in a private school for a few days and was more courageous, so he took the initiative to speak, "I wonder what the hell is asking us to come here?"

"The City God appeared on the night before. Everyone who witnessed it said that golden light flew past the wall, his eyes were nine feet tall and shot thunderbolts, and his clothes were still wet and dripping with water." Hua Tang said, "Now there are many different opinions in the city, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster, so I asked you to come and ask the gods so that the people can rest assured."

After hearing her, the gods were not at ease, but became even more panicked. Others didn't know it, but they knew it clearly in their hearts that ghosts and gods were just talking nonsense. On the one hand, they were to make a living, and on the other hand, they pretended to do a magic trick to drive away a demon, so that their neighbors could live a more peaceful life, and they would not owe each other their needs. But no matter what, they would never think that they would actually meet the City God in this life.

Shang Yunze said aside, "Can you really communicate with others?"

Although they were nervous, everyone pretended to be a god and had experience. Since the prefect had come to the door in person, naturally no one was so stupid that he was a liar, so they nodded one after another.

"Can you find the reason?" Shang Yunze asked again.

"Not necessarily." One of them said, "No one can tell the truth about spiritual things."

"I can't say it's right." Shang Yunze immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said something in his words, "Now the people in the city are panic, the people are dissatisfied with different opinions, and the lord has long been worried about it. No matter what means you use this time, please think of a way to solve the problem."

"Please rest assured, Lord of the Fort." Someone first realized what he meant and nodded quickly, "We should do our best to relieve our worries and sorrows for the adults."

"It's so good." Shang Yunze smiled, "Then let's go and see the adults first, everyone can drink tea slowly."

After the two left, everyone in the house immediately sat around and began to discuss solutions in a low voice. There were not many people in small places, and even fewer people were engaged in this industry. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they had some friendship. Moreover, at this point, there was no need to continue to pretend to be a god. It was the right way to find a way to solve the problem.

"Will it be useful?" Hua Tang looked inside under the tree outside the yard.

"Natural." Shang Yunze said, "They are the ones who know how to adapt to the situation best. The words just now are enough to explain what the adults really want, and there is no need to point them out."

Hua Tang nodded and went to the next courtyard with him for tea. After a while, the secret guard came over to report and said that everyone in the room had already discussed the result.

"How?" Hua Tang asked.

"Just as we had expected," said the secret guard. "One of them came up and said whether they could communicate with each other was not important. What was important was to make the people in the city feel at ease, so everyone did not need to panic. As long as they follow the wishes of the adults and find a reason to fool the City God's spirit, they would not only not suffer any losses, but they might have some money."

Hua Tang raised his eyebrows, "Sure enough."

Shang Yunze put down the teacup, "We have said everything we should say, but we have not said a word. All the conclusions are obtained by the psychic connection of these geniuses. Even if the people in Mujiazhuang secretly ask questions afterwards, they will not have anything to do with the government."

Hua Tang said, "But how can the Lord Shangbao determine that the conclusion they have drawn must be the conclusion that the adults want?"

"Because the clues are too obvious." Shang Yunze smiled, "Not to mention those charlatans, even I can find some words."

In the afternoon, there were many people outside the City God Temple. Obviously, they all heard about psychics and rushed over to take the front row to watch the fun.

After seeing it from afar, Mu Qingshan sighed, "Since the adults stopped publishing portraits of the boss, there has been no such long queues in the city for a long time."

"Actually, I have many new ideas." Wen Liunian stroked his chin.

Mu Qingshan poured cold water on it, "Zhao Dazhe will not agree."

"Why didn't you say he agreed?" Wen Liunian felt very regretful in his words, "It's not a bad thing."

Mu Qingshan:...

It is indeed not a bad thing, but in the world, I am afraid that few people in the world will regard this as a good thing.

"Sir, here!" The people in front of them were the first to shout, and everyone saluted, so the scene became even more lively.

Wen Liunian and Mu Qingshan walked out of the carriage together and greeted the people with a smile.

A group of witches and gods also got out of another carriage. Not to mention whether the psychics are true or false, at least they are quite frightening in their outfits - at least they are very interesting to the people.

Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong were also among the crowd. It was always strange that the City God appeared. There was nothing to do in the military camp outside the city. It would be good to come and see what happened. Zhao Wu stood beside the two of them, calling it accompaniment, but actually as a surveillance, so that he could not cause any trouble.

After leading the crowd to sing incense, Wen Liunian retreated to the other side and gave the place to the witches and saints.

The people were calm and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

After a gong, several people began to chant the mantra, and the methods were different: some people sat on the ground like an old monk entering a meditation, some people sprayed water into the air with their swords, some people chanted words while circling, and some people were always independent of the golden rooster. Mu Qingshan thought to himself that it was even better than the juggling team.

The sun is warm and comfortable to shine on your body.

Wen Liunian felt a little sleepy.

A bright sword suddenly reached the tip of his nose, "The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow!"

Lord Wen was startled.

The god man raised his hands, ran around the field for a while, then threw away the sword and lay straight on the ground.

Shang Yunze sighed again that even though he knew it was fake, it would not be easy to act so hard.

After about a stick of incense, everyone finally calmed down.

Wen Liunian hurriedly asked, "How?"

"You don't have to worry, sir." One of them said, "It's a good thing."

"Good thing?" Wen Liunian was obviously relieved, "What good thing?"

The people couldn't help but prick their ears.

"Since the Lord took office, he has devoted himself to the people. The City God saw it and was deeply moved." Everyone talked endlessly, "so he went to the Heaven Court to petition on the eve of the night, hoping that this vast city would be well weathered. It was just that he had aroused chat with the Jade Emperor for a while, and it almost took time to be seen by the people when he came back."

"Take it serious?" Wen Liunian touched her chin.

"Natural." The witches and gods nodded one after another.

After hearing this, the people around him also felt that it was quite reliable - because Lord Wen really loved the people as his son and was really capable. Since he took office, the people's lives have improved by more than 10% or 20%. It is natural for God to be rewarded for such a good official.

"I have said that you don't have to worry, sir." Mu Qingshan said, "I can finally feel at ease now."

"Why did the City God's clothes wet?" asked the people around him.

"Yes, yes." As soon as he reminded him, the other person also remembered, "The fourth son of the old Zhou family saw it with his own eyes, and it is said that there was a head of water flowing." Tsk, it was simply a blessing!
