Chapter 196 Mediation
On the third day, these mountain boys came to give gifts again.Zhang Wei quickly stopped them and asked, "Why do you give me gifts every day? If it is really the order of the mountain god, I don't believe it."

The leading mountain boy scratched his head and said, "Master Zhang Wei, you have a VIP order from Yinshan Mountain, and we will do all of these things."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then took out the token from his pocket and said, "This is what you're talking about?"

Shan Tong nodded and said, "Yes, Master has this, so we will send you something every day."

After speaking, he bowed and was about to leave.Zhang Wei quickly stopped them and said, "I don't need these things either, so don't give them away tomorrow!"

When the mountain boy heard this, he was a little sad. He immediately became tearful, and then said: "Does your lord despise our things? But these are the best things we found!"

Zhang Wei looked at it and quickly said, "No such thing! It's not like this."

These mountain boys are probably really children turned into elves, and the gifts they send are really varied, and they are all things that children like.

For example, colorful bird eggs, who would give these things away as gifts except for children!

The child's kindness is not good to refuse.Zhang Wei said, "Then I'll give you some gifts too."

After he finished speaking, he took out a dozen bamboo dragonflies from the room, handed them to the mountain boys and said, "This is my return gift."

These mountain boys took the bamboo dragonfly and put it on their heads.They ran lightly, and the bamboo dragonfly on their heads also turned around.

They immediately became happy and started running around, making the bamboo dragonfly on their heads spin faster.

After playing for a while, these mountain boys bowed to Zhang Wei and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the gift."

Zhang Wei smiled and waved his hands.

As long as they are in the territory radiated by Yinshan Mountain, those who hold a VIP order will receive gifts from Shantong.Of course, if you don't want Shantong to give you gifts, you can hide the token, as long as you hide the breath of the token, Shantong will not be able to find you.

Knowing this, Zhang Wei put the token in the Qiankun jade snail, so that Shantong would not be able to feel him.

On the fourth day, a huge fox cart came from outside Dingyang County.

More than a dozen huge foxes pulled a beautiful float into the county town from outside.This kind of fox cart is a fox cart. If you are not a big shot in the fox clan, you cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.

The fox cart stopped directly in front of the Jinhua Empress Temple, and then Hu Qinghao jumped off the float and ran towards the temple.

Not long after, she hurried out again, followed by a fox priestess.

"Why doesn't Master Zhang live in the temple?" Hu Qinghao asked angrily.

The fox girl quickly said: "Sister, calm down, it's Mr. Zhang who can't live here. He said he's not used to it."

Hu Qinghao hummed twice, then asked, "Where is he now?"

The fox priestess quickly said: "I live in an inn in the city, and we have people watching."

When Hu Qinghao heard this, she didn't talk nonsense with the fox girl, she directly got on the float and ordered the float to go to the inn in the city.

The county town of Dingyang County is very empty. Compared with the streets in small counties in the south of the Yangtze River, there are two-way eight-lane roads here.The fox car is not afraid of hitting people when it rampages on the street.

Not long after, the fox cart arrived at the humble inn.Then Hu Qinghao happily jumped off the float, tidied up her appearance, and walked into the inn.

The weasel who was bragging to the seven wolves at the inn suddenly felt something, his face was happy, and he rushed towards the door.

Then I saw Hu Qinghao walking over with long legs.

He hurried up, bowed down and shouted: "Second lady! But I saw you! I miss me so much!"

When Hu Qinghao saw the weasel, she was also in a good mood. She said, "It's also thanks to your loyalty. Get up. Where's my uncle?"

"Uncle is inside!" Weasel said hastily.

In fact, they were subdued by the three sisters of the Hu family, but they were assigned to Zhang Wei to use.It's all family anyway.

Hu Qinghao walked in happily, while Hu Jubai and Hu Jingmo walked in.

Although they also missed Zhang Wei very much, the two of them were not as outgoing as Hu Qinghao. Although they missed Zhang Wei, they restrained themselves.

When the two of them entered, the first sentence they heard was.

"Zhang Wei, are you here to propose marriage to our grandma?"

Hu Qinghao stared wide-eyed, pressed against Zhang Wei's body, and asked happily.

Zhang Wei's heart froze, before she had time to answer, she spoke again.

"You have accepted our token of love. If you want to be a person who will never give up, Grandma Jinhua will not let you go."

She smiled and said, like a little fox.

No!She was originally a fox.

Zhang Wei nodded, and said seriously: "I will propose marriage to Grandma Jinhua."

When Hu Jubai and Hu Jingmo who came in heard it, they were relieved.There was a smile on my face.

Hearing this promise, Hu Qinghao unceremoniously put her hands around Zhang Wei's neck, pressed her body against his body, and said, "Why did you come to me, I have been waiting for you for a year and a month! "

At this moment, Hu Jubai finally couldn't bear it any longer. She walked over, dragged Hu Qinghao out of Zhang Wei's arms, and said, "You should restrain yourself a bit too! You're not married yet!"

Hu Jingmo also nodded and said, "Yes, yes! Second sister, you can't be too shameless."

Hu Qinghao's actions made the other two sisters dissatisfied.

Hu Qinghao giggled, and cast a wink at Zhang Wei, but sat obediently beside Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei is a scholar, this kind of teasing should be stopped, otherwise he won't like it either.Hu Qinghao thought so.

The elder sister Hu Jubai pushed Hu Qinghao aside, but she said, "Zhang Lang called me here, what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Weicai said: "That's right. I hope you can mediate the conflict between the people in Nanhezhai and the dead cat demon. After all, when the time comes, the dead should be at ease."

"No problem, the wild cat should give me a little face." Hu Jubai said broadly.This is a rare matter for Zhang Wei to ask her for help, and she must handle it well.

Zhang Wei nodded, and then began to prepare.

There is no need to prepare too much, just call the county town god of Dingyang County.

The town god of this county heard that the Spring God Envoy of Empress Jinhua was coming, so he quickly got out of his lair and cooperated with the action.

In the evening, Zhang Wei set up the altar, and then comforted the gods of the four directions, and then told about today's event.This is the process of asking God to mediate.

If the gods are not invited in advance, most gods will not care about this kind of thing.Because mediation has always been a thankless task.If you come to fight, that's okay, just leave after the fight.

Finally, burn incense and pray, asking the gods for help. Here, Hu Jubai, the envoy of the Jinhua Empress, is invited.

All of a sudden, there was a storm.The dignified and beautiful Hu Jubai appeared in a gust of black wind, and then asked in a patterned manner: "Who is next, why do you ask this god for help?"

Zhang Wei said: "The envoy of the gods, Rong Fu, the cat demon ghosts are now full of resentment, and they are disturbing the people of Nanhezhai. The people in the world are suffering, and it is better to resolve the enemies than tie them up. I also ask the envoy of the gods to be merciful, mediate one or two, and let people return to others." , Ghosts to ghosts."

"Can!"

Hu Jubai said impatiently.What is there to consider, it was originally agreed in advance.

For anything, as long as you communicate well in advance, all procedures are just procedures.This is true whether it is a matter in the world or in the underworld.

At this time, Zhang Wei said: "Then please ask the county town god to summon the ghost of the cat demon."

It is called to come, that is to arrest.

Not long after, the Yin soldiers of the City God came escorting a ghost with the body of a cat.This cat ghost is full of resentment, if she is killed directly, this resentment will not dissipate, on the contrary, it will affect the morality of this place.

If grievances and grievances are not resolved from the root, they can only be washed away by Yin virtue.And Yinde determines whether a place is in good weather, auspicious and safe.

It is possible for those big grievances to directly make June Feixue and Dilong stand up.This is the soaring resentment, which immediately consumes a lot of local virtues and directly makes the weather abnormal.

This cat demon has a lot of grievances. If she is killed casually and her grievances are not allowed to dissipate, this place will be devastated and nothing will be harvested.

Hu Jubai saw the cat demon, and said, "I am the envoy of the Goddess of Spring under the seat of Empress Jinhua, if you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I will certainly uphold justice for you."

As soon as the cat demon ghost heard this, he immediately said: "I want to sue the people of Nanhe Village. They killed and ate my people. My poor people didn't provoke them. They just passed by and were caught by them. Revenge must be reported!"

When Hu Jubai heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "Is this really the case? The City God of Dingyang County obeyed the order to arrest the people from Nanhe Village!"

As soon as the county town god heard it, he went to do it immediately.

That is why this mediation takes place at night.If it was daytime, it would be difficult for this person to be detained.The county town god has the right to arrest people in his dreams, which is why he was asked to participate.

Not long after, there was a strong wind, and hundreds of hazy ghosts appeared here.The people in Nanhe Village, except women, children and the elderly, were all young and strong men arrested.Children, old people, women and children are weak in body, and their ghosts may get sick if they leave the body, so it is not restricted.

Now that both parties have arrived, Hu Jubai will start the trial.

First of all, Hu Jubai's face darkened, then he drank and cursed: "People from Nanhe Village, are you guilty?!"

This is called taking the lead, using supernatural power to intimidate the people and ghosts below, so as to get them to cooperate.

This group of people was arrested in a daze, and they were a little confused about the situation. Now they were suddenly yelled at by a golden god, and they immediately panicked.

They knelt down and said: "My lord, please forgive me. I don't know what we have committed. Please explain clearly."

Hu Jubai looked at Zhang Wei secretly, and Zhang Wei continued to send her a message.

"Don't pretend to be stupid, have you ever culled a group of wild cats, plucked them, molted their skins and cooked them for food?!"

Jubai has never done mediation before, she is now Zhang Wei's mouthpiece, and Zhang Wei is actually interrogating.

As soon as these people heard this, they immediately became excited.

"Your Excellency, be aware! We didn't even know that there was a goblin among the wild cats. The fields here produce meager amounts of money, and we also hunt for a living. We just treat those wild cats as ordinary prey."

"The one who doesn't know is innocent, not to mention that the cat demon has been making trouble in our village for more than half a year after his death, and there are even old people and children who died at home because of this incident. We are also very wronged!"

This is where the trouble with this matter is, both sides think they are right.What's wrong with these farmers culling some game?It's all about survival.The northwest is bitterly cold, and the prey is a supplement to their food.Who would have thought of killing a goblin?

And the idea of ​​the cat demon is also correct, they just migrated past, had no enmity with these villagers, and did not destroy their lives and property, so they should not be eaten by the extermination.

In this case, there is no pure right or wrong.

After listening to both sides' words, Hu Jubai pretended to think about it.In fact, Zhang Wei had already thought about the solution.Both sides will hit [-] boards each, and mediation will be forced!This kind of quick knife to cut through the mess is the best way to mediate.Because you can't satisfy the needs of both parties at the same time.

The cat demon wants the villagers to die, and the villagers want the cat demon to die.If the demands of both parties are met, then kill them together?

So Hu Jubai said: "The people of Nanhezhai did not do this on purpose, and the cat demon harassing humans is not appropriate. Both sides have their own mistakes."

Hearing this, both sides shouted in dissatisfaction.

But as soon as Hu Jubai's divine power was released, both sides immediately shut up.

That's why there must be a highly respected god to mediate well, because without high moral and high prestige, it is impossible to subdue the two parties!

Hu Jubai said: "I'm not an unreasonable god. Since both parties are at fault, they must be punished. The people in Nanhezhai killed the cat monster tribe. Although it was an unintentional mistake, the capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven." .My God decided to let you build a cat ancestral hall to worship these dead cats. Do you have any objections?"

These people were taken aback when they heard it, they had never heard of a cat ancestral hall.But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a good way.

These people discussed it, and then said: "As long as the cat demon agrees, we have no objection."

At this time, Hu Jubai said to the cat demon: "Survival is not easy for the creatures of heaven and earth. Reincarnation has a cause, and cause and effect are destined. Your people can't be resurrected after death. Letting these human beings worship them all year round is also a redemption. And you, I personally Send it to reincarnation, what do you think?"

In fact, this can be regarded as helping some human beings a little bit, but Zhang Wei is a human being, and there must be selfishness in this. The only truly selfless in this world is the selfless heart of heaven.

The cat demon was still dissatisfied and wanted to say something.But at this time, Hu Jubai suddenly said: "If you agree, I will give you a purification pill, so that you can maintain your spiritual wisdom and enter reincarnation. Is this possible?"

The cat demon froze for a moment, then stopped talking, with a troubled look on his face.Yes, her people are pitiful, but no matter how pitiful they are, they will die. The cat cannot be resurrected after death, and the envoy is right.

And Jingling Pill...

This thing has a great reputation among the monster clan, and it can be said to be one of lifelong pursuits.She admitted she was shaken.

As soon as her heart was shaken, she naturally felt that Hu Jubai's decision was more fair, and the resentment on her body was obviously reduced by [-]% to the naked eye.

"In this way, the little demon will follow the words of the envoy and escape into reincarnation with peace of mind." She finally bowed her head to Jingling Pill.
