Section 056, Punishment from God(1/2)
"Master, it's unfair! I really don't know."
Lord Yao quickly got off the horse. He only hoped that the prefect could let go, but unfortunately he underestimated the prefect's ability.
"I don't know? I don't know. Since that's the case, let's go to the palace together! I think the emperor will definitely give me an explanation. Lord Yao, let's go!"
When Lord Yao saw that the prefect was determined to settle the score with him, he felt cold in his heart. The prefect was really cold and did not give him any face. It seemed that the prefect was going to get rid of it. When Lord Yao was planning how to settle this matter in his heart, Liu Shoucai suddenly walked up to him.
"Since Lord Yao doesn't know where the disaster relief food has gone, let's go to the palace together! The master personally agreed with the emperor two days ago, and the remaining food will be distributed in the later stage. He will not be short of the food food of this master. As for whether it will be deducted from the previous layer, when we see the emperor, let's see what he said, Lord Yao, what do you think?"
Lord Yao has also heard of Liu Shoucai's name, but he has always been very disgusted with such sorcerers, because he always feels that those people are actually big liars. Of course, it is appropriate to think so. Just like modern people, if you don't see them, you will be skeptical. Lord Yao is such a person.
"Master Liu, you can't say that. Why do you say that we have deducted food on the previous floor? If you have the ability, please come up with evidence!"
Lord Yao looked provocative. In his opinion, those who cheat money also look at people's words. As the leader, Lord Yao naturally feels superior, so he doesn't take Liu Shoucai seriously. Unfortunately, he really suffers from Liu Shoucai's hands this time.
"Oh! Are those who deduct food not afraid of God's punishment? This natural disaster is also a test of God's behavior on mankind. God sees good and bad people. As the saying goes: People are doing it, God is watching! It's not that the time has not come, but what should come will come in the end, Lord Yao, are you right?"
Liu Shoucai's threatening words made Lord Yao very angry, but he couldn't curse Liu Shoucai. There was no way, who made him feel guilty? It seems that Liu Shoucai and his group really didn't get into it. Lord Yao also had other solutions.
Lord Yao had already become murderous about Liu Shoucai and the magistrate. Liu Shoucai naturally saw the murderous aura in Lord Yao's eyes, but he would not give Lord Yao a chance to take action, and he generally likes to take the initiative and does not like to passively.
"Ba Dou, Lord Yao has become more murderous, let's pay attention."
"Don't worry! He won't cause any big storms, just leave this matter to me."
Liu Shoucai pulled Badou to a secret place and discussed it quietly with him. Badou immediately took the matter up. It can be seen that Badou had no good feelings for that Lord Yao, and Xiaobai had long since gone.
"Mr. Yao, such a little food is not enough. You should take it back! We don't need it anymore."
Liu Shoucai walked over with a smile. If he really received such a little food, it would not be of much use. On the contrary, if he didn't accept it, then Lord Yao would not be able to go back to pay the job. Moreover, he selfishly deducted so much. If he really wanted to hand it back, he would definitely vomit it out. How could Lord Yao be willing to do this?
"Liu Shoucai, don't be shameless. What kind of dog do you think you are? How dare you talk to this general? Come on, and you will be able to beat the fifty boards."
Lord Yao was completely angry by Liu Shoucai's words. He didn't care about the face of the prefect and directly asked someone to attack Liu Shoucai, and Liu Shoucai was also waiting for this opportunity.
"Oh, we don't want this food, and we have to hit me with a stick. This is unreasonable. Let's go to the palace to talk to the emperor! The surname Yao, you are a general, but is your official position higher than the emperor? I don't even take the emperor seriously, how could you be afraid of you? It's ridiculous. Don't you know that even the emperor gives me a three-point face when I see him? What a dog you are, you dare to challenge me, give him some color."
It was finally Badou's turn to go on the field. Badou had been waiting aside for a long time. Before Lord Yao could react, Badou cut off Lord Yao's hand with a knife. The soldiers on the side were scared at this time. This was the first time they saw someone treating their general like this.
Lord Yao was completely stunned at this time. He had just used his official position to scare Liu Shoucai and the others, but he didn't expect that Liu Shoucai and the others would dare to use real swords and cut off one of his arms. Lord Yao's arm also felt pain at this time, and a scream like a pig-killing scream reached everyone's ears.
Liu Shoucai was not in a hurry at this time. He bent down and picked up the arm that fell to the ground. Then he recited a few spells from his mouth, took out a talisman and stuck it to the place where Lord Yao's arm was broken. Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and then the talisman in Liu Shoucai's hand disappeared, and Lord Yao's arm grew intact on his body at this time.
The soldiers beside him were all looking at Lord Yao's arm at this moment. Lord Yao also came to his senses. When he lowered his head, he saw that his arm had been re-received, and his face turned pale.
"God..."
I don’t know who called out in the crowd, and then the people shouted at Liu Shoucai. Lord Yao had no face at this time. He just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. He originally wanted to deal with Liu Shoucai and the others, but after seeing Liu Shoucai and the others' behavior, he also took back his thoughts to deal with Liu Shoucai.
"Mr. Yao, I hope you can replenish the food you lack as soon as possible. If it cannot be replenished, then you can bring these foods back! In short, we will not collect the wrong amount of food. Master, I believe you have the same idea!"
Liu Shoucai would not foolishly take responsibility on his shoulders. He is not the prefect and does not have the right to manage the life and death issues of the people here, so he is also suitable to hand over the topic to the prefect.
"Ahem... Master Liu is right. Lord Yao, please ask the people above you what the food is missing? You should take these foods that are incorrect! The officials are going to start working, so they won't be able to enjoy the scenery with Lord Yao, and they will all be dispersed!"
After the prefect gave the order, the people who were still watching the show here immediately dispersed. Liu Shoucai took Badou home, and Lord Yao and his group were left in place in an instant. They were not leaving, nor did they not leave. They were stunned for more than twenty minutes before they came to their senses one by one.
"General, what should I do now? You can't really go back, right?"
"Idiot, do you dare to go back like this? Are you really not afraid of the emperor cutting your head? If you order, you will bring all the food back to our General's Mansion. After you go back, you will say that the prefect has collected the food and let's go."
Lord Yao looked cold. Although he was scared just now, he had recovered at this time. After all, he had also been on the battlefield to kill people, so his mentality was very strong. As for Liu Shoucai and others who did not collect food, it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, after he went back, he would say everything.
But he also muttered about Liu Shoucai and the others' abilities. In fact, Liu Shoucai and the others did not really go back. He kept hiding beside him and watched how Lord Yao would solve this problem. However, he did not expect Lord Yao to do this. It seems that if he didn't give Lord Yao a little bit of power, he really didn't know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was.
"Ba Dou, I'll give some amazing taste to anyone named Yao tonight, otherwise he really wouldn't know that the peppers are spicy."
"Don't worry! I will give him a heavenly punishment tonight so that he can know that God is really watching him."
Badou smiled very gloomy. Liu Shoucai was trembling by his gloomy smile, but Liu Shoucai didn't say anything. After returning home, Liu Shoucai prepared some things that Badou would use at night.
It was getting dark very quickly. When Lord Yao and his team were planning to camp in the wild, a thunder suddenly came from the sky, followed by lightning and thunder. The lightning was also surrounded by Lord Yao, which scared him so much that he peed his pants. The generals under Lord Yao did not dare to move forward at this time.
"Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir! This kind of lightning is deadly, it will be safer to lie down."
Lord Yao's deputy general immediately screamed in the crowd. After hearing the deputy general's words, Lord Yao hurriedly lay on the ground, but no matter what, the lightning still surrounds him, without hurting or leaving. He suddenly remembered what Liu Shoucai said during the day.
People are doing it, God is watching! Is it really because of my greed that God wants to punish him? When I think of this, Lord Yao's heart was cold. It seems that this time I was really too greedy and even God can't stand it.
Badou, who was casting spells on the side, was gloating at this time. What he liked to see the most was Lord Yao's look of grief and panic. It seemed that Lord Yao was really going to spit out the food he had swallowed this time, and this time it was also a good lesson.
"God, the villain knows his mistake, the villain really knows his mistake, and the villain who embezzles the grain immediately asks someone to send it. Not only that, the villain will also ask people to send more food, beg God, let the villain go..."
Lord Yao really believed Liu Shoucai's statement at this time. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky. Seeing that Lord Yao had already kowtowed his forehead, Badou then took back the thunder talisman.
When the lightning left, Lord Yao's clothes were soaked, and a scent of urine and smell spread to everyone's noses. However, no one dared to act angry at this time. As soon as Lord Yao was freed, he immediately fainted on the ground. The generals quickly helped him to a clean place to rest.
Seeing that his task had been completed, Badou happily went back to hand in the office. Liu Shoucai was almost impatient when he was waiting at home. Badou came back. After seeing Badou come back, Liu Shoucai rushed over and asked.
"How is it? Did that Lord Yao say that he would hand over the food?"
"Well, I said that, I think he will remember this punishment for the rest of his life, and maybe he will go from bad to good. Do you think we have indirectly changed the temperament of a bad person?"
"If this is true, then we have saved a general, which is also a blessing!"
"What are you two doing there? Look at how stupid you laugh."
Xiaobai walked out of the house with a yawn. As soon as it came out, it saw Badou and Liu Shoucai laughing so disgustingly, and immediately muttered unhappily. Seeing Xiaobai, Liu Shoucai remembered that after Lord Yao and the others came today, Xiaobai was no longer visible. This guy has become more and more mysterious recently and often plays with people missing.
"Xiaobai, can you tell me why you have been missing recently? I really want to know where you went just now? As soon as Lord Yao and the others came, you will disappear. Give us a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, don't eat these days."
Xiaobai didn't care about Liu Shoucai's threat, because it could continue to live without eating. After all, it was not an ordinary person. However, Xiaobai lowered his head and thought about Liu Shoucai's question.
"Xiaobai, have you encountered any difficulties? Tell us and let us see if we can help you solve them. If there is no way to help you, you can also be a good listener. Tell me! After you say it, you will feel much more relaxed."
Badou and Liu Shoucai sang a black and red face. Xiaobai knew at this time that the matter must be hidden, so he finally sighed and said, "Actually, I have nothing to hide from you. But I have seen the celestial phenomena these days, and it seems that another disaster is coming."
"What? The drought is not over yet, will there be a major disaster? It will rain in a while. Could it be a mountain torrent? But this is impossible!"
"Idiot, usually during drought, there will always be plagues, and there are insect scourges. Anyway, we must remind the prefect to be prepared for prevention, otherwise, we will really die at that time."
"Oh! What's this all about it! I really feel that God asked us to come here, but I'm just an ordinary spirit master, not a savior at all. It's really troublesome."
Liu Shoucai couldn't help but hit the wooden stake next to him, and Badou felt bad. He didn't expect that things would go in this direction.
"Xiaobai, go and tell the prefect about this matter and ask him to prepare quickly. We must also start to prevent it. If there is a big deal at that time, then we will have a certain degree in our hearts. Moreover, we all know the medicinal materials for the plague that Grandpa Shennong used at the beginning, so we don't have to worry too much about the plague. We must be careful of the insect plague. After all, we have no insight into this."
"Faced with the insect storm, I think those old farmers who farm should have many solutions. I will go to the prefect to talk to you first! You two will rest first, and when I come back later, we will talk in detail."
Xiaobai rushed out quickly. Liu Shoucai and Badou also looked at each other, then shook his head helplessly. After a little rest, Xiaobai also came back. As soon as it came back, Liu Shoucai and Badou rushed up.
"How is it? Did the prefect say anything?"
"Well, he said he would take this matter to heart, and he also said that he would go to the farmer who knew how to eliminate pests and let us take the opportunity to get more medicinal materials for treating epidemics. He also said that he would ask those doctors to go up the mountain with us to collect herbs."
"He really knows how to use people! Forget it, in the face of such natural disasters, I won't say anything anymore. Okay, since there is a solution to the matter, let's go to bed first! Let's go to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow!"
There are already ways to prevent things, so Liu Shoucai and the others are no longer worried. But Xiaobai is still very nervous. He doesn’t know why, but he is always restless recently. He actually has no idea about natural disasters, because he can’t predict which disaster will come.
Early the next morning, there were many people around Liu Shoucai's doorstep. Those people were doctors called by the prefect from various pharmacies, in order to go up the mountain with Liu Shoucai and others to collect medicinal materials for treating epidemics. Those evil people are also thirsty for knowledge. Plague is a major disaster. If there are medicinal materials for treating plague, they will naturally come on their own initiative.
"Hey, why are you here so early?"
As soon as Liu Shoucai went out, he saw the doctors surrounding his doorstep. Seeing that they were carrying large baskets on their backs, he immediately smiled awkwardly. He was not used to the life of getting up early, so he felt very depressed when he saw that ancient people always woke up so early. Do you dare to show an unhappy expression on his face?
"It's getting late, the sun is coming out. Master Liu, let's go quickly!"
"Yes, Master Liu, our pharmacy still has a lot to do."
When the doctors saw that Liu Shoucai had already gotten up, they quickly signaled him to go up the mountain. Seeing that these people were so anxious, Liu Shoucai couldn't say anything. After all, everyone had their own things to be busy with, so Liu Shoucai hurriedly asked Badou to go up the mountain with his backpack. After all, there were so many people, so the power was great!
Everyone quickly went up the mountain, but they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived on the mountain, they saw the bodies of Lord Yao and the generals he brought yesterday. When they saw the bodies of this place, everyone was stunned.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Yao? He brought these people to deliver food yesterday, so why did he die here? What's going on?"
Soon one of the oldest doctors came back to the spirit, and he also went to the army to fight. Faced with this sudden accident, he also responded quickly. Liu Shoucai and the others also came back to the spirit one after another.
"They were all killed by a sword. It seems that this man has a high martial arts skills, and the food brought by Lord Yao and others has disappeared. Could it be that the murderer came for food?"
Liu Shoucai had to think deeply. If this was the case, then he would have done something bad. If he had accepted the food brought by Lord Yao and the others yesterday, these people would not have died tragically.
"Everyone, come and have a look. I've found it here. Maybe it's the murderer who stayed there."
Another doctor soon saw what the murderer left on the ground. He immediately screamed. When everyone heard his shouting, they hurriedly watched.
"What is this? Huh? It's Miyan."
The oldest doctor immediately snatched the thing he had in the hand of the doctor squatting on the ground, then put it on his nose and smelled it. After smelling it, he immediately slapped the air around him with his hand, and then he certainly explained the origin of the thing.
"Someone actually released a smoke. It seems that the murderer is really prepared!"
"No matter what, Lord Yao and the others are already dead. I will go down the mountain to inform the prefect first. After all, the imperial court ordered the officials to die here, and we all have to be in charge."
"Oh! This is it. Master Liu, please be careful. We are all here. We will not let idle people wait for those who are approaching. Go and go back quickly."
"Well, everyone should pay attention to safety, Badou, you stay here to protect everyone."
"I'll go! I'll run fast, you stay here."
"Okay, be careful, go and go back quickly."
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Shoucai agreed to Badou's proposal, so he did not fight for any errands with Badou. Badou ran back to the prefectural and county government office as fast as possible.
When the prefect saw Badou running over so nervously, he immediately walked up and asked, "Master Badou, what's wrong? Seeing that you are so anxious, is there something wrong?"
To be continued...
