The Weird Mushroom Picker
Chapter 176 The Weird Mushroom Picker
Two days have passed since the fall of the three flood dragons.
Soothed by the proclamation issued by the County Wei Mansion, the people of Wangjiang were finally liberated from the long-term fear and oppression.
But under Jiangnan's hint.
Chen Ping only said that he was a great supernatural being passing by. Seeing the injustice on the road, he beheaded the evildoers who harmed the people.
So, the common people were grateful to Dade, dyed incense and lighted wax by the riverside, and worshiped the unknown great supernatural being.
In addition, tourists who came from various places to participate in the Water Dragon Festival a few days ago were also released from prison.
It turned out that the truth was not as the restaurant owner said, only some tourists who talked about Jiang Ji were arrested.
In fact, all tourists from other places after the year.
When they planned to return in disappointment, they were all secretly arrested.
——In order not to leak the news.
Due to the inconvenience of communication, and the time limit for the Water Dragon Festival in Wangjiang County has not yet passed.
Even if those tourists haven't returned for a long time, the family members outside the county don't feel any difference.
So in the past two or three months, no news about the appalling life sacrifice in Wangjiang County has been leaked out.
If it wasn't for Mo Yizhen's sudden whim, he wanted to watch the Water Dragon Festival, which would lead to a series of changes in the future.
Wangjiang County is still uncertain what it will become.
And two days after all the dust settled, the imperial court's reply also arrived.
In the letter, Xiuyifu stated that he knew what Jiangnan said, and began to investigate the matter of the ancient god Taimang.
In addition, they also asked Jiangnan to sit in Wangjiang for a few days, and the new county magistrate has already rushed to Wangjiang in Qingzhou.
Putting away the letter paper, Jiang Nan let out a long sigh of relief.
Simply, they stayed for the time being.
Because until now, without the threat of the monster in the river, Wangjiang County's annual Water Dragon Festival is still held as scheduled.
But it is no longer called Water Dragon Festival.
It was renamed as Falling Dragon Festival.
When the people rowed across the river in this long boat, what they dropped was no longer tribute, but huge stones engraved with curses.
It is intended to suppress the evildoer in the river, so that his soul will never be turned over again.
This year's festival, although the streets and alleys are still decorated.
But not so much a celebration.
It would be better to see it as the venting and anger of the people under the festive atmosphere in the name of the festival.
And among them, the more intriguing ones.
It was when the magistrate of Li County helped the tyrant to abuse Liming and killed Liming after it was revealed.
The first reaction of most of the people in Wangjiang was shock.
——They even preferred to believe that the evildoer in the river was really a god conferred by the imperial court, and they never doubted County Magistrate Li.
——This county magistrate has been in office for decades. Although he can't say he has made great achievements, he can be regarded as diligent and diligent.
He has no airs of being an official.
No one could have imagined that he would be the mastermind behind the vicious Jiang Ji.
These days, most people in the market are saying that they were blind and thought Li County Magistrate was a good official.
Shuttle among the wandering crowd, Jiangnan and Mo Yizhen came to the riverside.
Looking at the scene before her, Mo Yizhen suddenly asked,
"Sir, which one do you think is the real County Magistrate Li?"
"Is it the hard-working official that the people say?"
"Or the ghost-like person we saw?"
"Yizhen doesn't understand - if he was just pretending before, it would be too unbelievable for decades."
Jiang Nan pondered for a moment, then said: "Yizhen, if you really want to say it, both of them are him."
"Before he got the flesh and blood of the Tai Python, he had nothing to do but the post of county magistrate. In order to make a living, he would definitely cling to the iron rice bowl, as the common people know."
"After he got the flesh and blood of the python, he was dazzled by the sudden force, revealing the dark side of his heart, and he became what we saw."
"It's just human nature."
Looking at Mo Yizhen's half-understanding look, Jiang Nan sighed.
God gave her unparalleled aptitude, but it made her a little dull in other aspects.
Even in the world of mortals, it is still too difficult for her to understand the dark side hidden in human nature in just a few days.
However, if she can comprehend the world of mortals and control the ruthless sword intent with emotion, both the sword heart and the realm should be improved to a higher level.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan suddenly came back to his senses.
——Although the girl has always respected him as a teacher, he didn't actually give her anything.
The only night talk in Jianlu was when he was talking nonsense in order to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail. Mo Yizhen comprehended casually by virtue of his talent, and suddenly realized the meaning of the sword.
At that time, the conversation between the two was not on the same channel at all.
But now, this time leaving the sword cottage.
But he gradually began to really play the role of a teacher.
At this time, above the surface of the river, there was a vigorous chant sounding!
Dozens of beautiful long boats set off from the starting point together, and rowed across the river like a long dragon, striving to be the first.
A strip of shirtless men, wearing turbans, facing the wind in the river, sweating.
Countless people along the river cheered enthusiastically for the team they supported.
The atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
Seeing this, Jiang Nan couldn't help but understand.
What is it that those people in the capital are willing to die to protect?
"Master Jiang, what you arranged has been done."
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded behind Jiangnan.
But it was Chen Ping's subordinates.
Under Jiang Nan's suggestion, in order not to expose the identity of the King of Zhenxi, Chen Ping and the people in the County Wei's Mansion all called Jiang Nan the son.
"It's been hard work, is there any clue?" Jiangnan turned his head, looked at the sergeant in uniform, and asked.
After County Magistrate Li was put to death, Jiangnan arranged for people from the county captain's mansion to thoroughly investigate the people who had come into contact with the flesh and blood of the ancient god.
From the mushroom picker who discovered the flesh and blood to the subordinate who finally handed over the flesh and blood to County Magistrate Li, no one was spared.
After all, the existence of the ancient gods is too weird.
Jiangnan had to guard against the appearance of a second county magistrate Li among those who had come into contact with it.
This is one of the reasons why he intends to stay for a few more days.
Otherwise, if he is determined to leave, the court will not be able to keep him.
The only problem is that they agreed to go to Jianlu to follow Nanhuai in the south of the Yangtze River three days later.
There is no doubt that he was let go.
But that's fine too, if he angrily denies Jiang Nan as a teacher in a fit of anger.
That would be one less hassle.
"My lord, Mr. Chen investigated a total of 160 people, and none of them showed any abnormality." The sergeant said respectfully.
Jiang Nan nodded, "That's good, now that it's the holiday, you should take a break too, but you are tired these days."
But after he finished speaking, the sergeant had no intention of leaving.
"My lord, although Mr. Chen didn't find any clues about them, but... the mushroom picker who first came into contact with Tai Sui claimed to have a secret report."
The sergeant carefully stared at Jiang Nan's expression, and continued: "No matter how Mr. Chen promises, he said that he will only speak when he sees the great power to kill Jiang Zhong's monsters."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and said in a shameful voice: "My lord, the officials and others are ineffective in their work, and they still bother you, it is really dereliction of duty!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nan waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll go see him."
But there is a bit of vigilance in my heart.
An ordinary mushroom picker, at the request of the county captain, had the guts to negotiate terms.
What's more, how did he know that Jiang Nan, who had killed the three dragons, was still in Wangjiang?
Also weird.
After pondering for a moment, Jiangnan turned his head to look at Mo Yizhen, who was curious about the long boat race in the middle of the river.
"Yizhen, don't move around here, I will come as soon as I go."
After finishing speaking, he followed the sergeant towards the arrest house.
