Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2208 Flower Controversy (110)

There is such a group fan painting, which was painted by Li Song in the Southern Song Dynasty. The central figure in the picture is a skull wearing a head. It sits on the ground and holds a small skull in its right hand. It looks like a marionette. The small skull is beckoning. , facing a toddler.

The child was lying on the ground, reaching out to the little skull. Behind the child, there was a young woman. She stretched out her hands as if to stop her, but she had a smile on her face, so it seemed to be playing.

There is a pick behind the big skull, which is full of goods, as if he is a salesman. Next to the pick, there is a woman who is breastfeeding a child. She looks at the scene in front of her with a strange expression, as if she can’t bear to watch it. It seemed to be numb.

A sensational case occurred in Shaanxi during the period of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, because the plaintiff in the case was an invisible ghost. The general plot was that a young child was killed by a demon. The Taoist priest used the young child to do some bad things. Tong's ghost denounced him.

The "Skeleton God" was mentioned in the "Huhai News Yijian Xuzhi" written by the people of the Yuan Dynasty. Although this book was compiled in the Yuan Dynasty, it actually wrote the stories of the Jin and Song Dynasties. The "Skeleton God" happened in the Southern Song Dynasty During this period, a certain villager had a ten-year-old grandson who suddenly disappeared. He sent out notices and searched everywhere, but there was no news.

One day the villagers went out to search by themselves, but encountered heavy rain. When he was hiding under the eaves of a house, he suddenly heard the child calling grandpa. The child was found in a closet at home.

At this time, the child was dead and dying, and after being carried to the government, he could barely tell the whole story. It turned out that he had been taken care of by someone after he was secretly taken away. At first, he had a full meal, but later he didn't have enough to eat. Not only that, every day the kidnapper was still putting nails on the top of his head and heel joints, and he died not long after.

There is a kind of "Camphorus God" in folk witchcraft. It is said that it is a small puppet carried by a fortune teller when telling fortunes, and a child's soul is imprisoned inside.In the Song Dynasty, peddlers and fortune-tellers were both worthy of vigilance. Probably the painting depicts someone trying to take away the soul of the child to make camphor willow, but the mother who saw the child didn't know it and thought it was a play.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still people who made camphor willows, mostly based on rumors, just like when Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, many parents let their daughters get married early.

The northern nomads are very fond of the Han people, especially the girls in Suzhou. Parents are afraid that their daughters will be conscripted to the capital for "appreciation", so they marry their daughters early.

There are such legends along the entire Grand Canal. In fact, similar rumors also existed in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was no draft system.Even though the vast majority of "legends" didn't mean it, some people did, and it caused panic.

A while ago, there was a new legend in Hefuli. At noon the day before the Tiankuan Festival, the group of people who repaired the embankment went back from work, and found a young woman walking on the embankment with a bundle, as if she couldn’t move. So I went to rest under a willow tree. Dozens of workers also came under the tree in twos and threes. One of them saw that she was beautiful, so he went up to talk to her. The donkey was frightened and threw her off. My younger brother went to look for the donkey, but he couldn’t find it since the morning. She had no choice but to walk along the embankment by herself. My home is still four or five miles away. Who can take her away with the burden? Just give him a hundred dollars.

A young man thought to himself that even if he didn't get a few money in return, he could still tease this woman on the way, so he sent her away.He said a lot of frivolous things along the way, and the young woman didn't refuse and didn't pay much attention to them. After walking three or four miles, suddenly seven or eight people blocked their way.

"Where is the madman who dares to plot against my woman?" So he tied up the young man in a hurry.

At this time, the young woman recounted what the young man said, and one of them said, "It's too troublesome to send him to the government to file a lawsuit. It's better to bury him alive."

The young man kept begging for mercy. At this time, a man said, "Forgive you, I will punish you to dig up this section of the ridge and drain the accumulated water."

So he was given a shovel, and they all sat down and watched the young man dig.

He dug until midnight, when the waterway was opened, those people suddenly disappeared. He looked around and saw reeds growing thickly, but he couldn't see the village at a glance, so he ran back to his residence along the embankment, and it didn't take long. just got sick.The people nearby suspected that the fox cave was flooded, and tempted the young man to dredge it for them. As for his illness, it was because he was enchanted by the fox, and almost asked a Taoist priest to feed him talisman water.

There is a man named Wu Haishan. He is the son of Wu Sijue, the governor of Nanhe in the 36th year of Qianlong, and the younger brother of Wu Zhen, the former governor of Nanhe.After hearing about this incident, he rushed to the work shed and found that the dam worker was really sick, but it didn't look like a fox, but rather malaria.

There is also a set of regulations for the prevention of a major epidemic after a major disaster. The officials of the River Governor's Mansion dealt with it quickly, but there are still some business people who have to go to the fox hole.

What does a vixen look like?Really beautiful?Like Su Daji?

The sick He Fu remembered that the young woman walked on tiptoe. At first he thought it was because her feet were bound and it was really inconvenient to walk, so she had to ride a donkey.

Anyway, he didn't find the fox hole, which angered Mr. Wang.There were also officers and soldiers in the River Governor's Mansion. Shandong Wang Lun was stopped by them when he wanted to take advantage of the old dam's collapse and invade Qingjiangpu. Dam, these people shouted injustice in the hall, and told the story by the way when they confessed.

The admiral was very impatient, and when he got up to walk away, he said "wait a minute", and then told the admiral about the case of calling the soul in the 33rd year of Qianlong. This big case that swept the country started from a small conflict between monks in two temples start.

If you want to use work for relief, you must have work to do. If you have work, you must build a dam. If you build a dam, you will protest. If you don’t work, these rivermen will have nothing to do.

So Juren thought of an idea, didn't he really want to find a fox hole?By the way, check the dam for potential cracks and places where it may burst. If the dam breaks this year, there are places they have been to but have not found, and the responsibility is all on these people.

Those few people kowtowed continuously, even saying that they couldn't bear the responsibility, but Juren handed over those people to Wang Bazong and asked him to watch them strictly, so Wang Bazong took these few people who wanted to see "Fox Fairy" down.

Then Juren told Nick about the vixen walking on his feet.

Through some external force, the limbs will change. Will there be a mandrill with reverse heels that turns its feet around?
As for the appearance, the mandrill is indeed terrifying, with her mouth covering her face, but will she wear a human skin mask like a painting?

This conjecture became more and more outrageous, and Nick couldn't help laughing at him to his face.

After Juren finished speaking, he also thought it was ridiculous, and then discussed recruiting "substitutes".

"Substitutes" are not clerks, and they don't need "fame". Their job is to write pleadings for the people who go to the county government to file lawsuits. "Litigation stick" adds oil and vinegar to it.

What happened today can be big or small, if those rivermen find the fox hole and just dig the weak point of the dam, it may indeed cause the dam to break, but it is not worth getting up for it.

Some unnecessary lawsuits can be avoided at all, but some people make a living by encouraging people to file lawsuits. This kind of broker increases the government's workload a lot.They don't care whether the judgment is fair or not, and the sufferer is not convinced.

Governing the country by law does not mean that there are too many lawsuits, and that everything must be resolved through legal channels.Nick was originally curious about whether he could apply for a proxy, but Juren refused after reading his handwriting.

Nick's handwriting is "shaky", neither horizontal nor vertical. All the children in the private school can write better than him. If he passes the exam, he will definitely fail. Juren will not recommend Nick.

Then he started trying to get Nick to learn how to hold a writing brush, which Lin Gua had done before, just like Nick trying to get Lin Gua to correct the posture of holding a brush, and in the end they both "lost".In the end, Nick agreed to try to write "calligraphy" with a quill pen. It was not as difficult as he imagined, but he couldn't write the regular script of Juren, so he could only imitate Song style. There are similarities.

Originally, he thought that this was his main job in this rainy season, but it was destined to be an uneven season, just like mildew, spreading continuously on the paper in the humid air full of water vapor.
