On the way, Wu Liang finally understood what Yin Jian was asking him to do.

It turns out that a bridge is being built in Chenliu County, which is a good thing that benefits the people.

But since the construction of the bridge started, residents nearby began to experience strange things one after another.

Every night, some people will hear a knock on the door, get up and open the door to check, but there is no one outside. Soon after they go back and lie down, the knock on the door comes again, and they open the door again to check, but there is still no one... and the cycle repeats.

all night.

The frequent occurrence of such strange things quickly aroused panic among nearby residents, and rumors of ghosts gradually spread through word of mouth.

At this time, an expert suddenly came. The expert went to the supervisor who was in charge of this matter and said that there was a dragon dragon in the river. If there was a large-scale construction project, it would definitely anger him. At that time, not only the supervisor and the repairman who were responsible for this matter

The craftsmen of the bridge will suffer retribution, and even the people nearby will be punished and will not be able to live a stable life from now on.

The governor had heard about the strange things that had happened recently in this generation, and when he contacted the master again, he believed it and asked the master for any solution.

If Yin Jian hadn't happened to take leave to go back to visit relatives, even if it had been one day or even a few hours later, he might not have been able to see his son for the last time.

"So that's what happened..."

After understanding the whole story, Wu Liangzhong already made a judgment.

This matter from beginning to end was probably the fault of that so-called "master".

Moreover, the method is not very clever, it is just an interlocking arrangement. In addition, people nowadays do not understand the principles and generally believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, so they believe it to be true and let him manipulate him.

For example, the "ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night" that appeared in this incident has become a well-known ancient charlatanism in later generations.

It's nothing more than getting some cow blood or loach blood and smearing it on the door. Bats active at night are very sensitive to this smell, so they will naturally come and knock on the door. When people inside open the door to check, the bats escape into the night again. Of course

I couldn't see anyone, not even a bat, so I started thinking wildly.

It's a pity that this "expert" can only be considered unlucky when he bumps into Wu Liang.

Wu Liang loves historical and archaeological research, and is naturally involved in some charlatanism that has appeared in history.

If it is really better than pretending to be gods and ghosts, the gangster methods of this era are still far behind. Wu Liang is the "King of Understanding" who "no one knows how to pretend to be gods and ghosts better than me"!

"Brother Youcai, you are Sima. If you go and intercede with the governor, you might be able to save my little boy. As long as you can save his life, I can work as a cow or a horse for you from now on."

Yin Jian was eager to save his son and kept pleading all the way.

"Don't worry, it's a small matter."

Wu Liang patted his shoulder and said confidently.

…

When Wu Liang and his party arrived at the river, hundreds of people had gathered here, and the scene was very lively.

"Give way! Give way!"

Yin Jian, Chen Jinshui and others were dressed in military uniforms and opened the way in front. Naturally, the people did not dare to provoke them and quickly made way for Wu Liang.

Wu Liang strode into it.

The first thing I saw was a platform set up on the embankment by the river. The platform was wrapped in yellow cloth. There were several plates of fruits and meats on it, as well as several small bronze cauldrons with several lit candles inserted in the cauldrons.

Incense.

In front of the stage, stood a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe.

The middle-aged man has a long beard, his eyebrows are slightly drooped, his waist-length hair is not tied up, but is hanging down from his back. In addition, he has a pair of slightly closed eyes and a hand behind his back.

posture……

Not to mention, he really has a bit of an immortal temperament.

This should be the "master".

Wu Liang was thinking, and then looked at the men beside the "master".

The man at the head was dressed in gorgeous Shu brocade clothes. He looked about thirty years old. He had a fair complexion and a very official-looking beer belly. His hair and beard were meticulously trimmed. At first glance, he looked like a son of a powerful and wealthy noble family.

Because according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, wearing Shu brocade was the privilege of the gentry class, and people outside the gentry could not wear it no matter how rich they were, otherwise they would be convicted.

This may be the postal supervisor named "Wang Qing" that Yin Jian mentioned, right?

As for Yin Jian’s son, we haven’t seen him yet.

But I think he should be imprisoned somewhere nearby and only be pulled up during the sacrifice, otherwise it would be unseemly to cry and disturb the ceremony.

"who?"

Seeing someone suddenly breaking in, several soldiers immediately stood in front of Wu Liang and others.

Wu Liang ignored them, but directly passed them and shouted to the Shu brocade man: "May I ask if the handsome young master in front of you is Wang Qing, Wang Duyou of Chenliu County?"

There was a small commotion when Wu Liang and others came in just now, and Wang Qing had already looked this way.

At this time, I heard Wu Liang's words which were quite pleasing to my ears. I also saw that he also had a few soldiers with him, and he might have some identity, so he led someone over and asked, "Have we met before?"

"The humble post is Wu Liang, Sima of the Hu army. He has only been in the city for a few days, so he has not gone to visit him yet. Please forgive Wang Duyou. However, I have heard about Wang Duyou's name since he entered the city. Today, I saw it and it was true.

He is a dragon and a phoenix among men."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and smiled before Zhangkou came.

In fact, speaking of levels, the governors and Sima at this time were not much different, except that one was affiliated with the county government and the other was affiliated with the military department. Their functions were different, and they basically had no contact with each other.

However, bridge repair was a matter for the county government and had nothing to do with the military. Even Wu Liang, Sima, had no right to interfere.

Therefore, calling yourself a "lower position", lowering your posture and speaking more pleasantly will not be a disadvantage. After all, you are working on someone else's land.

Hu army?

The Yin army that Cao Zhen brought back?

Isn't it just an army of miscellaneous craftsmen who specialize in making pottery and Gui? This kind of army also includes Sima?

Hearing Wu Liang's self-narration, Wang Qing felt a flash of disdain in his heart, but he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Seeing that Wu Liang spoke so nicely, Wang Qing did not show his disdain. Instead, he returned the favor with a smile: "So it's

Wu Sima, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I wonder why Wu Sima is here?”

"I don't dare to be a high-ranking official. I just happened to hear about the master's practice here, so I came here to watch the fun. I hope I didn't disturb Wang Duyou."

Wu Liang smiled modestly.

"Talented brothers..."

As soon as he heard this, Yin Jian became anxious. They were not here to watch the fun!
