Chapter 1724 Human Sacrifice by the Lake

As soon as I entered Guanzhou City, I saw a huge stone tablet facing me, with several words written on it.

Pang Shiwu looked at it and saw that the development history of Guanzhou was written on it. I don’t know which chief official created such a “monument”.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This stone tablet is very meaningful. It tells the history of Guanzhou City clearly. It seems that the chief official here has a lot of ideas."

Liu Miezhou said: "It seems that he also wants to learn from Wang Lun. He deceived more romantic talents to visit here, which will not only enhance local fame, but also drive local incense!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This kind of official should be used seriously by the court."

Liu Mizhou shook his head and said, "It's a pity that many dynasties now do not value the use of capable officials, but only skillful officials!"

Pang Shiwu said: "To put it bluntly, those with ability cannot be valued, while those with incompetent but with background will be valued."

Liu Miezhou said: "The son can teach you!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It cannot be generalized! Now Zhao Song is at the time of his rise. If he cannot reward, he will be rewarded and punished. His foundation will be difficult to stabilize and people will be gathered together!"

Liu Miezhou said: "Do you think Zhao Song is different?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Not bad!"

Liu Mizhou no longer confused about this topic, but turned to look at the stone tablet and said lightly: "I didn't expect that the history of Guanzhou can be traced back to the Warring States Period!"

According to the inscription, after King Huiwen of Qin destroyed Shu, he returned to Shu County.

Since the Qin Dynasty, it has set up a yamen, called the 未分大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大�

During the Shu Han Dynasty, it was renamed Wuxian County, and soon it was changed to Du'an County, which belonged to Wenshan County.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, Yanguan County was established. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, wars were frequent, and the political districts were set up to greatly change. During the Liu Song Dynasty, Wenshan County was moved to Guankou, and the two counties of Du'an and Yanguan were governed. In the first year of Yongming of Emperor Wu of Southern Qi, Qiji County and Du'an were established, and Yanguan were appointed together. In the third year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the county and county were established. In the third year of Tianhe, Wenshan County was relocated to Wenshan County, which was still under Wenshan County. In the fourth year of Tianhe, Qiji County was abolished, Qiji County was changed to Qingcheng County and Qiji County was changed to Jianwei County. In the third year of Daye of Emperor Yang of Sui, Wenshan County was abolished, and its place was merged into Pi County. In the first year of Wude of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, the Zhenjing Army was established at the former site of Wenshan County, and Panlong County was established at the former site of Du'an. In the sixth year of Panlong County was changed to Daojiang County, which belonged to Mengzhou, and Qingcheng County was belonged to Shuzhou. In the 12th year of Kaiyuan of Emperor Xuanzong, Qingcheng County was changed to Qingcheng County. In the first year of Wucheng of the Former Shu, the Zhenjing Army was changed to Guanzhou, which belonged to Qingcheng and Daojiang counties.

Although Pang Shiwu didn't recognize some of the words, he could understand them almost the same. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "If you change so many names in the same place, aren't you afraid of trouble?"

Zeng Yong stopped taking the bus and sneered: "The so-called emperor and ministers must be changed even if they have to change their place name. Isn't it normal to change the place name?"

Pang Shiwu smiled, and suddenly he remembered something and immediately asked Zeng Yong: "Brother Zeng, do you think there is a place that has changed many times, but the name has not changed?"

Zeng Yong was stunned for a moment!

"Hey! You guy stumped me! I can't remember which place has never changed its name!"

Pang Shiwu looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, what do you think?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "If you want to say that there are indeed many cities and counties that have not been renamed for a thousand years. For example, when we just left Chengdu, the King of Zhou moved to Qi for one year, and the family lived in the same family. In the second year, the third year, the name was Chengdu. The pronunciation of the word "Chengdu" is Shudu. "Cheng" means "Biye" and "Zhongyi". Chengdu means the ultimate capital of Shu."

Pang Shiwu suddenly said proudly: "Big brother is the eldest brother, I will never ask! Who else is besides Chengdu?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Handan, Changsha, Luoyang, Xianyang, Yangzhou..."

Pang Shiwu widened his eyes, "Are these names that have never been changed?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Of course! For example, Handan was the capital of Zhao State during the Warring States Period! The name of "Handan" first appeared in the ancient version of "Bamboo Chronicles". The origin of the place name of Handan, "Han Shu Geography", records that Zhang Yan, a Wei State, annotated by the Three Kingdoms Period: "Handan Mountain is under the East City, single, and the city is separated, so the city is covered by the city, so the city is added to the clouds.' It means that Handan's place name originated from Handan Mountain. Under the East City of Handan, there is a mountain called Handan. Dan, which is the end of the mountain range. Handan Mountain ends here, so it is named Handan. Because the city covers the city, it is added to the city next to it and becomes Handan."

Pang Shiwu said: "I have heard several idioms related to Handan, such as learning to walk in Handan, riding and shooting in Hu clothes, and returning the jade to Zhao. It seems that the most idioms related to Handan are related to Handan!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are indeed many idioms and allusions about Handan! Do you know the story of He Bo getting married?"

Pang Shiwu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Then I will tell you?"

Pang Shiwu smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

The long journey is long, how can I relieve my worries? Only the story of my elder brother can relieve my boredom!

Liu Miezhou said incrediblely: "Have you heard of it?"

Pang Shiwu glared, "Are you deliberately sarcastic about me?"

Liu Miezhou smiled and said, "How could it be? I thought you knew such a classic story!"

Pang Shiwu said: "How about you tell me."

Liu Miezhou smiled and said, "Not good."

"What's wrong with it? Can a story still make you tell the same thing?"

"That's not. A story is like calligraphy. No matter how it changes, whether it is official script, running script, or cursive script, one is one, two is two, one cannot be written into two, and two cannot be written into one. This story of He Bo getting married is impossible to tell the story of He Bo getting married into a daughter!"

Pang Shiwu smiled and said, "I want to hear the story of He Bo's marriage! I guess everyone here has never heard of it, right? Brother Zeng, have you heard it?"

Zeng Yong remained silent, "I haven't heard it!"

Pang Shiwu asked Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, have you heard of it?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"

Pang Shiwu was stunned, "Hmm? Is there really a story about He Bo marrying a daughter?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "The world is so great, everything is strange."

Liu Miezhou also looked puzzled, "Is there such an allusion?"

He claimed to be knowledgeable and read a lot of books, but he couldn't remember which classic has such a legend!

Suddenly, Yuan Zishan said in the car: "Don't listen to him nonsense. If you really ask him for advice, even if he makes up the news, he will have to make up a story for you!"

Liu Mizhou smiled, "No way?"

Pang Shiwu also scratched his head, "Brother, you won't really make up, are you?"

Feng Jiuxiao coughed, "Am I that kind of person?"

Yuan Zishan said: "What, I was wrong?"

Feng Jiuxiao immediately looked solemn, "How is it possible? You are right!"

Everyone was walking forward leisurely, and suddenly they saw people around them running forward quickly, and some people shouted, "Hurry up, I won't see it in a while!"

Everyone saw that the people around them immediately moved. The stalls were no longer watching the stalls, and the strolls were no longer wandering around, and they all rushed towards the front.

At this time, a middle-aged man with unstraight legs and feet passed by them. Feng Jiuxiao asked quickly: "Brother, what are you doing?"

The lame man said impatiently: "Oh, don't waste my time watching the fun. If you want to watch it, go quickly!" He glared at Feng Jiuxiao with anger, and then limped forward!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "What are you going to have a look?"

Pang Shiwu immediately said: "I've come here, how can I miss it?"

Feng Jiuxiao glanced at Yuan Zishan's carriage and said to the coachman: "Go!"

The coachman didn't move and smiled strangely.

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and scolded, "Oh, just leave! Do you think she doesn't agree?"

The coachman smiled but said nothing.

Yuan Zishan in the car said, "Let's go."

The coachman rushed to Feng Jiuxiao and smiled strangely again, his eyes seemed to be full of sympathy, then raised his whip and shouted: "Drive!" The carriage started! The other carriages also followed at the same time!

Bigwolf said, "I won't take the bus." He said, strode forward!

Zeng Yong said: "I won't sit anymore."

Liu Miezhou said: "If you don't sit, I won't sit anymore."

They both looked at Feng Jiuxiao together.

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Let's go!"

Pang Shiwu, Liu Mizhou, and Zeng Yong followed behind.

As the crowd moved forward, I turned a few times, and became more and more deviated, and I actually arrived at a vast lake.

At this time, the lake was already crowded with people.

The place closest to the lakeside was filled with flags and gongs and drums, and it seemed like a grand event was being held, and everyone's faces were full of excitement!

Liu Miezhou couldn't help but frowned. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao. At this time, Feng Jiuxiao also looked at Liu Miezhou. The two looked at each other, and they had an unknown premonition in their hearts.

I saw an official by the lake reading the sacrificial text, which was to offer sacrifices to the lake god!

Two toddlers were kneeling beside him!

His eyes were filled with fear of the unknown, and he kept watching two couples crying heart-wrenchingly in the crowd!

Especially the two women were blocked by the yamen runners and desperately wanted to rush to the children!

Zeng Yong frowned and said, "Is this a fucking sacrifice to liven up?"

Pang Shiwu's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword!

After reading the tribute, the official said to everyone: "Prepare to start."

After a few old men who seemed respected to be said to a Taoist priest, they nodded to the official and said it was OK!

The official raised his hand and said, "Start!"

Several yamen runners quickly picked up the children and placed them in a large wooden basin, then prepared to push the wooden basin into the lake.

Suddenly I heard someone say, "Let's wait!"
Chapter completed!
