I played the world alone

Chapter 362 I must be dreaming (two-in-one)

But of course, after a search, the entire City God's Temple was turned upside down, and they didn't find anything valuable.

In fact, it is normal for others to have nothing of value.

Because this City God's Temple is usually deserted. There is only one temple pillar who likes to drink and gamble. He eats and drinks here on weekdays.

If there was anything of value, that guy would have taken it out and sold it, and he would have been quicker than a thief!
So even thieves don't bother to patronize such a shabby place, so how can there be any good things?
But now the people in the yamen don't believe it.

Where is the treasure that Manzi promised?Why is it all a pile of broken wood?It's too wet to use for burning firewood!

Hu Fangde's face was full of anger at this moment, and he walked into the City God's Temple with a calm expression.

Looking at the crooked statue in front of him, he kicked hard on the legs of the altar table that had been torn in half. He stared at the group of servants in front of him who lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, especially Boss Cao and Master.

Seeing how helpless they were hesitating and unable to utter a word for a long time, I couldn't help but feel even more angry and slapped them hard.

Boss Cao covered his face with red marks and did not dare to speak.He could only look aggrieved.

Although the master was glad that he had escaped a slap, he did not dare to show a good face at this time. He was even uglier than Boss Cao who had been slapped.

Because he knew that he had found out the secret of the treasure, and if he really wanted to cause trouble, he would never be able to escape!
Sure enough, Hu Fangde's eyes turned around and stared at him fiercely.

"Master, how do you explain this matter?"

"You also know that I have fallen out with the Wang side over the treasures of these barbarians! If not a single grain of gold is found, wouldn't it mean losing both my wife and the army? How can you be responsible for the losses caused? "

"Otherwise, I will tie you up, hand the whip to the Wang family, and say that you are the instigator behind this, and I was just bewitched by you. Now I understand the truth. I have decided to rebuild the old relationship..."

The master was trembling with fright, and at the same time he felt deeply aggrieved.Mingming said before that it would be okay even if he was not found, but now he has turned his back on him and refused to recognize him!

Besides, it would be fine if he only received a few whips.But if he was treated as an outcast, how could he still stay in this yamen?Isn’t the official position that I finally bought with a lot of money in vain?

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir! Those treasures must be here, but they are hidden too deep. Tomorrow! Tomorrow, I will find more people to demolish this City God's Temple. Turn it all upside down! It will definitely be possible." Find something."

Hu Fangde's face looked better.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. But if you really can't find it..."

His face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at the roof of the City God's Temple and said, "Then burn this place with fire. If I can't get anything, even the king can't get it!"

The master breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly to try: "Young man, go and do it right away. You will definitely not make a mistake!"

……

After Wang Yuanliang returned home, his face was not so ugly. He just sat in his study and read quietly, as if what happened in the Chenghuang Temple had nothing to do with him.

The descendants of the Wang family thought that the old man would be furious and might immediately set off to find the prefect to seek justice, but they never expected that this would be the case.

Some people couldn't help but start to worry that the old man might be out of his mind?Do you and others want to see a doctor?

The eldest son couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, so he borrowed the time of a maid to deliver tea and knocked on the door to take a look.

"Dad, please don't be so angry that your body is broken. Are you uncomfortable in any way? Tell us early. Or we can help you share some troubles. That man named Hu is indeed not a son of a man, but if you are so angry If you lose your body, the gain will outweigh the loss.”

Mr. Wang slowly put down the book and looked at him with a smile: "What are you talking about? I'm not angry now."

The eldest son couldn't help being stunned: "Then you were so angry in front of the City God's Temple just now. I thought you were angry because the City God's Temple was smashed."

The smile on Wang Yuanliang's face gradually faded: "Dad did feel angry just now, but he was not angry because the City God's Temple was smashed. After all, the place where their gods work is not in this mortal City God's Temple. It doesn't matter if it is burned down."

"What makes Dad angry is that Magistrate Hu is so disrespectful and bold in his attitude towards the gods. He even dared to order people to smash the statues of gods and even the entire City God's Temple!"

"This kind of behavior that despises the gods and even goes so far as to insult them. I think even if the gods are big-hearted, they will definitely be angry because of it."

He paused and explained: "This is like the emperor's palace outside. Although the emperor usually does not live there, if someone dares to smash it and burn it, the emperor will be furious. Even if the emperor himself does not care. . But in order to show their courtesy, there must be many people who are willing to do something for the emperor!"

The eldest son was shocked when he heard this and vaguely understood something.

"Dad, do you mean that Hu Fangde is going to be in trouble?"

Wang Yuanliang stroked his beard: "That's right. Now the local city god is about to officially take office. He must find a name to establish his authority. Otherwise, if people are allowed to do random things here, what prestige will the city god have in the future? I'm afraid it's just one The kid dares to sit on their necks and poop and pee!"

"So, this Hu Fangde has hit the point of a gun. I just tried my best to persuade him in the Chenghuang Temple, hoping that the other party would stop in time. After all, the other party is also a person who has studied hard. I can help a little."

"As long as you submit obediently, admit your mistakes sincerely, and then join us in giving porridge and doing good deeds, I expect that the gods will only give you a small punishment and won't cause too much trouble. But now..." he sighed, "I guess the trouble will not be small. Sorry. Does he really think that gods can be bullied casually?"

The eldest son couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Father, what do you think will happen to Magistrate Hu?"

Wang Yuanliang thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know either. The specific results should be out tonight."

He raised his head and shook his head and looked in the direction of the City God's Temple.

At this point, he could only wait until sunset when the City God Temple would start hearing the case today.

Soon, after dark.

Mr. Wang was reading under the light, and suddenly he raised his head and looked out the door.

The door suddenly opened automatically without being pushed. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the white mist outside slowly billowed like clouds and poured in.

He already had the answer to this familiar scene.

This is the sedan bearers from the Chenghuang Temple coming to pick someone up!
Sure enough, not long after, four bearers in black robes came over carrying a strange-looking sedan.

"Sir, please get on the sedan!"

Wang Yuanliang nodded slightly, leaned over the sedan and asked suddenly: "By the way, today's appointment time seems to be a little earlier than before. I don't know why?"

The bearers laughed and replied: "I don't know, I'm just following orders. But I seem to have heard something. Today's case seems to be a little different. You may have to pay some attention, sir."

Wang Yuanliang's heart moved and he already had some guesses.But he didn't say it.Just nodded.Sitting quietly in the sedan chair, he sighed slightly and unobtrusively after a long time.

……

the other side.Hu Fangde's house.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired during the day, so he went to bed early today.

In the dead of night, he suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate, which made him open his eyes.He cursed a few words in a low voice in a daze.The concubines around him were all fast asleep.He couldn't shake it no matter how hard he shook it.

He couldn't help but curse a few words: "You know how to sleep, eat, eat and sleep. Even the hens know how to lay eggs, and they will sell you sooner or later!"

No one was guarding the servants outside, so they slipped away somewhere to enjoy themselves.

There was no one to carry the chamber pot for him, so he simply lifted his pants himself, intending to find a toilet for convenience.

As soon as he opened the door, he discovered that there was a strange gray mist filling the yard outside. When he got closer, he smelled a smell similar to the smoke and smoke of burning incense and candles in temples and Taoist temples. From a distance, he couldn't see clearly. .

Maybe he was too sleepy, but he didn't care and walked forward in the direction of his memory.

It's just that this is getting worse and worse.

He rubbed his eyes drowsily, looked around carefully, and couldn't help but mumbled a few words: "Why does it feel more and more strange as I go? This place. Have I been here before?"

He looked around carefully.

This place is getting more and more desolate as we go.The original garden wall has also disappeared, and it seems to have turned into a deserted street.

"Wait, it seems to be true!"

He opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He was familiar with this street because he had just walked through it during the day.

This is the street in front of the Chenghuang Temple!
"Wait a minute...City God's Temple..."

He looked up in surprise, and sure enough he saw the head of the City God's Temple standing there in the depths of the mist ahead!

But at this time, two brand new red lanterns had been hung at the entrance of the temple. They were swaying slightly with the gusts of wind, seeming to welcome him as he walked in.

"How could I suddenly go from my own home to a place like this?"

He was still wearing obscene clothes and had not changed into serious clothes, but he felt chilly when the wind blew.

Moreover, there was no one around, and the houses on both sides were not bright at all. Logically speaking, there should be a lantern or candlelight.

No, there was no dead silence at all!Not even a barking dog!

It was as if I was the only one left in this city, and it was so quiet that it was a bit scary!
He didn't dare to go forward at this moment. He immediately turned around and planned to go back to his home.

But after walking a few steps, I noticed that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, so I continued walking forward.He found that he had returned to the same place without knowing when, and the gate of the City God's Temple was still waiting for him in front.

His face suddenly turned pale, he screamed in fear, then turned around and ran away.

He finally realized that he seemed to have encountered something dirty.

"Isn't this just a ghost beating a wall?"

Although this body is fat, it is quite flexible when it comes to such a fatal thing, and its legs are so fast that they almost don't touch the ground.

But as soon as he ran a few steps, he saw two dark, thin figures walking out of the gray fog facing him, with their backs to him.

He thought he had met the people in the city, as if he had seen a savior, and rushed forward while shouting.

"You two, please stay! I am the county magistrate here, and now I have something to ask you to send me back! As long as you send it to me, I guarantee that you will be generously rewarded, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing!"

As expected, the two people stayed.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and chased after her.

Xindao really thought that as long as he revealed his identity, no one would dare to disobey his orders, otherwise he could easily control them.

As for these two people, they can only give them a few copper coins when they arrive.He originally wanted to let his servants kick them out without giving them a cent!

But considering that they had to stop their mouths and not tell anyone about being frightened and lost their way in the middle of the night, I still had to give them some benefits.

Although he was calculating in his mind, he kept walking and soon ran less than one meter in front of them.

And the two people just turned around to face him.

He looked up and was about to say a polite greeting, but he just looked at it.This frightened him so much that he immediately stopped where he was with a look of horror on his face.

The two people had green-faced and fanged grimaces on their faces, their scarlet eyes were glaring at him fiercely, and they were holding two iron chains in their hands, shaking slightly as they clenched their fists.It seemed like it would be thrown over at any moment.

The key is that he can see those two faces clearly. They are definitely not crude masks, but real things that grow on their faces!

"Ghost! Ghost!"

Hu Fangde suddenly screamed in fright, his legs softened and he fell to the ground. At the same time, there was a smell in his crotch. If he looked carefully, he had been frightened to pee!
At this time, the two evil spirits shouted at the same time: "We are the ghost soldiers sitting in the City God's Temple. Today, we are ordered by the City God to arrest you and bring you to justice! Hu Fangde, do you know your guilt?"

City God?

Hu Fangde's eyes widened with shock and disbelief on his face.

Thinking of what he did during the day, he couldn't help but shudder.

Immediately he reacted again.

"No, how can there really be a city god in this world? It must be fake. I am having a nightmare! I think about it every day and dream about it at night, that's right!"

Besides, there is something wrong with this bizarre scene.

He pinched his arm with his nails and felt a burst of pain, but he did not wake up from his dream at all.

On the contrary, he became more awake.

A smile that was uglier than crying gradually appeared on his face: "I... I am the official of the imperial court! You little brats must not harm me. Otherwise, I will report it to the emperor and let him punish you!"

But before he could finish his words, the two ghost soldiers burst into laughter, with contempt and ridicule on their faces.

"It's ridiculous. How can your mortal emperor control the affairs of the ghosts and gods in our underworld? Even if he comes in person, he must obey the rules! What's more, you are just a little county magistrate. Today you committed such a crime Big mistake, why don't you come back with us quickly! If you just admit your guilt, you might still have a chance to survive."
