The heavens start from Maoshan

It's different now. Zhang Heng wants people, money, and money. If he recognizes him, he is the mayor of Dagou Town. If he doesn't recognize him, he is not a fart.

"In the old days, scandals like this would be drowned in the pond. Now, it's the Republic of China, and they demand the abolition of bad customs and democracy."

"I'm very open-minded, why don't I convene everyone for a discussion."

"What is the result of the public trial, that is what, I believe everyone can be convinced."

When Zhang Heng said this, Xiang Xiaokui ordered: "Invite the respected elders and squires in the town."

The housekeeper became anxious when he heard it: "Patriarch Zhang, be merciful, you are killing my master!"

Respected elders, what kind of people are they, all old men in their sixties, seventies, and eighties.

Zhang Heng keeps talking about democracy, are these seventy-eighty people democratic?

There are also squires. Who are the squires? They are all rich and powerful people.

Master Tan's family has thousands of acres of fertile land and many shops, and it is in competition with these people.

If Master Tan is sunk in the pond, can the Tan family stay in the town?

In other words, these people can buy the Tan family's property at a low price. How will they choose?

"Shut your mouth, do you have your share of words here?"

Hearing that the Tan House butler dared to question Zhang Heng, two militia soldiers came up and kicked him to his knees.

The housekeeper is wronged, I don't want to ignore it, but he and Master Tan are grasshoppers on a rope, and if Master Tan loses his wealth, his wealth will be gone: "Patriarch Zhang is kind, we are willing to pay, one hundred, no, A thousand oceans, our Tan family is willing to pay a thousand oceans."

Zhang Heng's mouth twitched slightly.

The wealth of the Tan family is one of the best in the town, one thousand oceans, which is to treat him as a beggar.

Chapter 21: Tianzun said the Fengdu Micriting Sutra

"Dagou Town is a kind place, this old Tan is really disgraceful to us."

"Isn't that right? I heard that Lao Tan still wants to run for mayor. I think he is a toad playing Hache, and his tone is very big."

"Strictly handle it, it must be strictly handled, otherwise it will spread, and I think we don't have etiquette in Dagou Town."

"Master Tan is not an ordinary person. The Tan family is also here. I will handle it strictly, so there will be no mistakes, right?"

"What can go wrong, the people of the militia are also outside, and a small Tan family can turn the sky over?"

After a while.

The entrance of Zhang's ancestral hall.

More than a dozen chairs were lined up in two rows. The village elders and squires sat at the front, and the crowd was crowded behind. These were all watching the fun.

Zhang Heng and Mayor Bai are in the first place.

In front of them, the dark-faced Zhang Dadan and his daughter-in-law knelt in the middle.

As for Mr. Tan, it would not be very nice, because he was being hung from the flagpole.

"Zhang Daran, a member of the Zhang clan, honest and responsible, diligent and capable."

"Zhang Xingshi, Zhang Daudao's wife, didn't think about her husband's hard work, and she was caught in the same place as her hard-working husband."

"Tan Nianyao, the strong husband of Tongjian, the squire of this town, but he doesn't want to repay, committing such a sinful act, it is unforgivable."

As soon as Zhang Heng opened his mouth, the surroundings fell into a strange silence.

After speaking, the people watching the excitement were breathing thickly, because the sentence was about to be announced next.

"Every village elders and squires, let's discuss it."

Zhang Heng's hand pointed forward, first fell on Zhang's wife Hongxing, and then turned to Tan Nianyao on the flagpole: "What should we do with them?"

"Dipping pig cage."

It was a white-haired old woman who spoke.

This old lady is quite famous in Dagou Town, because she was widowed at the age of 20. Not only did she never remarry, but she also raised two children.

In the early years, even the chastity archway, which was rewarded by the imperial court, was an example for women in the village, and she was also the most disgusting person with Tongjian.

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Abstain."

"be opposed to."

"Agree..."

After a while, everyone began to vote.

In the end, of the [-] squires and peasants, thirteen supported, three opposed, and two chose to abstain.

"The patriarch Zhang is kind, the mayor is kind, the village elders are kind, the squires are kind!"

Hearing everyone's choice, the Tan family immediately burst into tears.

He was also clever, and he jumped out of the crowd and knelt down in front of the crowd, kowtowing like garlic: "Come on, elders, it's human nature to love a man and a woman, and it's that bitch who seduced my uncle and made him commit this crime. For such a big mistake, my Tan family is willing to repair the bridge and make up the road, make up for the mistake, and please take my uncle's life for the sake of the ancestors of the Tan family."

Zhang Heng didn't answer, but looked at Mayor Bai.

Mayor Bai had sympathy for Mr. Tan before, but when I heard it just now, I heard that Tan Nianyao was secretly planning to run for mayor.

This time, his nose was crooked. Seeing Zhang Heng's gaze, he immediately said, "In troubled times, we should use the heavy code. Today we let Tan Nianyao go. If there is someone Tongjian tomorrow, will we still let it go?"

After speaking, his eyes gradually became cold: "In my opinion, this sign must be stopped to alert the world."

"Dipping pig cage!"

"Dipping pig cage!"

"Dipping pig cage!!"

Mayor Bai can become this mayor, and naturally he also has a group of supporters in the town.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the mountains and tsunamis erupted around, as if the two of Mr. Tan were not invaded into the pig cage, Dagou Town would fall apart tomorrow.

"Be quiet."

Zhang Heng waved his hand.

The cry suddenly stopped, and after a few breaths, it subsided.

The village elders narrowed their eyes, and even Mayor Bai couldn't help but look sideways, everyone was waiting for him to speak.

"Do you have any comments on this verdict, the Tan family?"

Zhang Heng looked at the Tan family.

The Tan family is of course unwilling, but the situation is stronger than people, so what else can they say now.

If you oppose it, you will offend everyone present. If you die alone, Master Tan will die with everyone, and everyone will have an account in their hearts.

"The Tan family... have no objection."

More than a dozen children of the Tan family are like the defeated rooster.

Wow...

Hearing this, Master Tan's wife and concubines immediately burst into tears.

Especially the youngest one, who just came in this spring and is only 16 years old.

Of course, if you let them argue with the village elders and roll around, they wouldn't dare.

These days, rules can really kill people.

"Elders."

While crying, a middle-aged man insisted and said, "My father is most afraid of water, but now he has made a mistake and asked him to repay his debts. As a son, I can't say anything, I just ask not to invade the pig cage, even if A straw rope is fine, just leave a decent place for my father."

"Nizi, Nizi!"

Mr. Tan who was hanged up, even if he was pouting, everyone could understand what he meant.

The middle-aged man was a little frightened when he saw this, and he was a little hard to say: "Dad, I told you long ago, there are some things you can't do, you like women, you want to marry a concubine, I never say much, but you hate the food at home. It's not fragrant, and now it's like this, how can you make us look up in the future?"

"All right."

Zhang Heng motioned for the middle-aged man to step down, and then pronounced the sentence: "Zhang Xing's family and people are connected to each other, and after the public trial of the town gentry, the mayor of the town is in attendance, and the judgment is to invade the pig cage."

"Jianfu Tan Nianyao, sentenced Bai Ling to commit suicide. After her death, no tombstones can be erected, and no burial in ancestral tombs, August [-]th, [-]th year of the Republic of China."

After speaking, he waved his hand: "Take it."

"Bold, bold!"

Hong Xing had been listening stupidly before, and only then did she realize that she was going to die. Fear and fear came to her heart, and she hurriedly cried to Zhang Dandan: "I'm your wife, you hurry up and save me, I will in the future. I will definitely live with you in a down-to-earth way, and I beg you to give me another chance."

Zhang Bingdan knelt on the ground dumbfounded as if he had lost his soul.

Let the people from the militia group take his wife away, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if the person who shouted to him was an irrelevant stranger.

poof...

The four carried the pig cage and threw Zhang Xingshi into the river.

At the same time, Mr. Tan, whose face was like golden paper, was also tied to a tree with a crooked neck.

"Master, I heard that people who died in vain are very resentful. Zhang Xingshi and Master Tan, I am afraid that they are not willing to die like this, and I will trouble you later."

Zhang Heng said to Xu Zhenren.

During the public trial, Xu Zhenren was also in the crowd and knew what was going on between the two.

Hearing Zhang Heng's words, he immediately nodded: "With me here, they can't even turn into ghosts. When I turn back to cremate Master Tan, I will add a handful of cinnabar in it. As for Zhang Xing's side, I will do it on the shore. A ritual event and send her dead soul back to her home."

After speaking, Zhenren Xu asked, "Tell me, why should I add cinnabar?"

Zhang Heng knew that this was Xu Zhenren's examination and education, and replied: "Cinnabar is in the Yang, ghosts are in the Yin, and the flame burns the cinnabar into the bones, so there will be no more yin and evil spirits, and naturally it will be cut off and become a resentful spirit. possible."

Xu Zhenren asked again, "What should I do for the ritual I performed on the shore?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while and replied, "Fast first, then set up an altar."

"What is fasting?"

"Quiet and quiet."

"What is the altar?"

"Sun Moon Yin Yang Altar."

"What's on the altar?"

"The tablets of the dead, flowers for offering fruits, three teas and four wines, three meat and four vegetarians, fragrant candles, rice and steamed buns, soul-calling flags, money for road purchases, and soul sticks."

"What scriptures should I read?"

"Tai Shangdong Xuan Lingbao's wonderful scripture to save suffering and extricate sins, or Yuanshi Tianzun said that Fengdu eradicates sin scriptures."

"Gone?"

Xu Zhenzhen asked.

Zhang Heng was stumped this time. After thinking about it again and again, he asked carefully, "Master, is there anything else?"

Xu Zhen didn't get angry, and said solemnly: "To save the dead female souls, you have to use Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun said to save the blood lake of Fengdu. This blood lake is a place in the underworld that specially accommodates the wronged souls of women. , sent the wrong one, it's like sending a female prisoner to a male prison, what do you think will happen?"

Zhang Heng thought about it for a while, of course it was cool.

Zhang Xingshi couldn't wait.

Chapter 22: Practicing Qi, Building Foundation, Returning to the Void, Harmonizing the Way

ten days later.

Zhang Bold's turmoil has gradually passed.

On the other hand, Zhang Heng, with the help of the effect of Bodhi Seed, also memorized more than twenty Taoist books that Xu Zhenren gave him.

Of course, it's just rote memorization, not asking for answers.

But even so, Xu Zhenren was very surprised, and said straightly: "Bodhi, I didn't expect such things to be left in the world. You are really a good chance."
