The demon world I designed

Chapter 89 No one always believes the truth

"This Chen Qing is really funny!"

In Luling County, Gu Beiquan deliberately took advantage of a banquet for many officials to read Chen Qing's flying letter in public, and took the lead in ridiculing him. Everyone who was enjoying the wine also laughed along with the county magistrate when they heard this. He stood up and spoke in all kinds of sarcastic words.

"Master Chen is very creative. Living corpses floated in the sea and ate people. They went down the river and reached the surrounding districts and counties. Tsk tsk." Liu Yiqi, who was sitting next to Gu Beiquan, also smiled and shook his head: "What can you do with such a talent?" Scientific examination? If you write a storybook, it will be a big seller."

These words immediately caused everyone at the dinner table to burst into laughter again!

Ever since a group of people took over Luling County, there have been a lot of intrigues, but they didn't expect that they were so united in ridiculing Chen Qing.

But think about it, a dirt-legged guy from the countryside who was the second-level crane stepped on all of their heads when he took office. When he was in Liuzhou, he even gave them official positions as if they were charity. When I think of how I ignored my image before In the scene of fighting for the official position in front of the mud-legged man, the humiliation in the hearts of a group of people never goes away!

Not to mention that the prefect used all kinds of crooked means to take away their political achievements when he took office.

First, they directly exempted themselves from taxes, attracting a large number of cargo ships, and then they despicably hired some people to come to the countryside of their county to spread the ridiculous rumors that hard workers at the docks could earn one or two silver a day, which led to many young people running to Liuzhou City regardless of spring plowing. It doesn't matter if they work as hard labor, but they don't care much if they just do a few dirty tricks. The key is to hype up the door gods to protect the city and attract those famous masters to Liuzhou. They would be punished!

Especially more than ten days ago, most of the married women in their county who originally migrated from Liuzhou were deceived and returned to Liuzhou. Even some local married women went over curiously and took a few glances, then moved their families when they came back, almost leaving them behind. Urgent to death!

Luling County relies on its good culture and education to attract some high-achieving and low-achieving employees to live here. If the teachers are deceived, who will want to live in Luling County in the future? Doesn’t the white water next door smell good? Whether doing business or buying land, which condition is not better than that of Luling County?

Fortunately, they were very considerate, and came to the house one by one to persuade, and they were able to use reason and emotion, so the situation was managed to be stabilized.

"I told you at the beginning." Liu Yiqi blushed slightly after drinking, and said amplified by the alcohol: "The theory about the door god is just a heresy made up by the man surnamed Chen. If there is such a thing in this world, the imperial court has long ago We have organized everyone to visit the shrine together, why do we still need him to promote it?”

"Now he's using living corpses as an excuse to scare us? Doesn't he have the protection of a door god? How can he be such a majestic god and let those evil spirits go?"

"Liu Jiaoyu is right!" A group of officials and some supporting officials raised their glasses, and everyone's face was glowing, catering to Liu Yiqi's contempt for the prefect.

Liu Yiqi suddenly showed a proud look and continued: "Qi is not afraid of offending others. I will tell you today that Chen Qing is a sycophant. He relies on flattery and flattery to attract today's princesses with men's charms and women's charms." Guan Guan became a prefect, and now he is even showing off his dishonest methods, which is really ridiculous! "

"Liu Jiaoyu said this very happily!" Gu Beiquan also burst out laughing and raised his glass in agreement.

"Happy!" All the officials in the restaurant seemed to have found an outlet, and they raised their glasses in high spirits. The officials and wealthy businessmen who were cheering for the banquet all followed suit, but the teachers who couldn't avoid the banquet and came with them smiled bitterly.

Although they had not been in contact with Liu Jiaoyu for a long time, the old masters knew a lot of people. They had long seen through his arrogant and arrogant character. As for other officials, to be honest, they were not very optimistic about him. , the overall quality is not even the slightest bit worse than those of the previous officials.

Although those officials before were not capable officials, they at least looked like officials. What kind of mess are these people in front of them?

As for Chen Qing, whom they scolded together, he is not that unbearable in the hearts of many masters. At least many masters admire Liuzhou's tax-free method of attracting returnees. Although it is a bit too bold, it is still better than Liuzhou's. These guys who don't do anything all day long are so strong that I don't know where they are.

As for the rumors about the living corpse

Although I thought it was ridiculous, I didn't take it seriously like these people. I was still somewhat suspicious in my heart. After all, I was a scholar, so I knew a little bit about monsters and ghosts.

Recalling that the letter said that at night, when the living corpses were active, a group of masters looked at the sky and frowned unconsciously.

"My lords." A gentleman with a gray beard stood up and held a wine glass and said with a smile: "There will be a quiz in the college tomorrow. We don't want to drink too much. We have to go back and make more preparations. Please forgive me for the disappointment!"

Someone took the lead, and all the masters at the table also stood up. The other non-official masters saw this and wanted to learn, but in the end they were not so confident and fell into hesitation.

The officials who were laughing and scolding were stunned when they saw this, and the leader Gu Beiquan didn't look very good at that time.

But this young old master had a very high reputation in Luling County, and the reason was very legitimate, which made Gu Beiquan feel a lump in his throat, unable to get up or down.

"Masters, I'm afraid you have remembered it wrong?" Liu Yiqi said with a smile, "I remember, isn't the college exam the day after tomorrow?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became weird, and the faces of several masters became ugly. Was this Liu deliberately trying to cause a deadlock or something?

We have come to this point. Why don't we just give each other a way out and leave? Why do you have to expose us like this? We are going to leave, and you want to put a knife to our necks and force us to drink with you?

You are really a fool!

Seeing that they were exposed, several teachers got angry. The teacher who spoke first just now bowed coldly: "Teacher Liu really has a good memory. In this case, during the small test the day after tomorrow, please don't be drunk. It's not decent!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for a reply. He put down the wine glass and didn't even bother to drink the wine that had just been filled. He left with a wave of his sleeves!

Other teachers of the official school also smiled coldly and bowed to say goodbye, which made Gu Beiquan and others look pale.

Liu Yiqi stood there awkwardly, his face pale and blue.

"Why are these old and sour people putting on airs?" Liu Yiqi was stunned for a long time and then slammed the table angrily: "Even the Dali Temple Shaoqing was polite to me. Do these country scholars really think they are someone important?"

When these words came out, no one in the hall responded. Although a few people who knew Liu Yiqi were also angry at those old scholars, they couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Liu Yiqi's words. This guy just took the exam at the same time as the Dali Temple Shaoqing. When he met him by chance, he gave him a little face and called him Brother Qi. He really took it seriously.

It can be seen that he invited you to drink after he became an official?

And as for the relationship with Wang Ye, many people can see that when Chen Qing left the capital, Wang Ye went out of the city to see him off.

Just when the atmosphere was subtle, a sudden inexplicable cold wind blew, and everyone who was originally drunk and hot couldn't help shivering and looked outside inexplicably.

Before he knew it, the sky had darkened.

Liu Yiqi was embarrassed to see that no one responded to his words just now. Seeing everyone looking outside, he smiled and said, "Then Chen Qing said in the letter that those zombies would go down the river. Now it is night, and our restaurant is right by the river. I want to see what the zombies that Chen Qing said look like."

But the strange thing is that no one responded to him this time.

Liu Yiqi was immediately annoyed: "What? Those sour old men didn't give you face, and now they want to blame me?"

"Liu Yiqi!" Gu Beiquan, who was standing by the window, was extremely pale at this time. He lowered his voice and shouted softly: "Stop talking!"

"Huh?" Liu Yiqi was stunned, and his heart was immediately furious. He was about to curse with the help of alcohol, but suddenly he saw everyone covering their mouths and waving at him.

This strange situation made him feel something was wrong. He carefully approached and looked under the window. He was instantly shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He sobered up a lot!

Below the window, on the river bank, a large group of people with rotten flesh crawled out at some point. Their movements were deformed and strange, and their eyes were bloodshot. They stared intently at their restaurant that stood on the river bank!
