Su Zhongkui hurriedly explained: "Ma Xiangu is a witch. It is said that her father is a fortune teller, and her mother is also a witch. At first, she was just eating and drinking, and she was not well-known. After her parents passed away, Ma Xiangu also lived in the house. Shuoquan City, chattering like a lunatic, once made a living by begging...!"

Chu Huan was even more puzzled, a sorceress who used to beg for a living, but when Su Zhongkui mentioned it, she showed a look of fear.

Su Zhongyan saw Chu Huan's doubts and explained: "However, 12 years ago, one of the concubines of the governor of Xiguan at that time was seriously ill, and he invited many famous doctors, but none of them could be cured. Offering a reward list to seek medical treatment, I heard that even many famous doctors can't cure him, no one dares to reveal the list easily...!"

Chu Huan wondered, "Could it be that Fairy Ma has revealed the list?"

Su Zhongkui said: "Exactly, when Ma Xiangu revealed the list, many people laughed at her for going crazy... Originally, the governor at that time also thought that Ma Xiangu was messing around and wanted to punish her, but she can The concubine of the governor is not sick, but is possessed by a ghost, and he needs God to heal him...!"[

Chu Huan sneered, "It's nonsense."

Su Zhongkui was taken aback, Chu Huan laughed and said, "The governor is saying that the sorceress is talking nonsense, you go on."

Su Zhongkui then said: "The little concubine is dying, and it seems that she has only half a breath. The witch also said that if she can't save the little concubine, she will jump off the top of Shuoquan City by herself. The governor may think that the little concubine is dead. In the long run, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, so... I promised to let Fairy Ma have a try!"

"The horse fairy came prepared, so she naturally has some skills."

"It was at that time that everyone knew that the snake was leading the way." Su Zhongkui explained: "The Ma fairy aunt raised a snake, and she didn't know where to find it. She said that the snake was given by the gods in the sky. She is a divine snake, who can exorcise evil spirits and ward off evil spirits, and can also cast down demons and eliminate demons. At that time, no one believed her words, and thought she was talking nonsense. Everyone was waiting to see her jump from the top of the city. go down."

Chu Huan said: "Since she can still live to this day, it seems that the governor's concubine was really saved by her."

Su Zhongkui immediately nodded and said, "That's right. After the divine snake in Ma Xiangu's hand is placed on the ground, it will find its own way. According to Ma Xiangu, when the divine snake lands, it must look for demons and ghosts. That is called the divine snake leading the way. Once she put down the divine snake, the snake turned several streets and turned to a deserted house. In that house, the snake found a dilapidated spiritual tablet, and the horse fairy said it was the spiritual tablet Dang even cast a spell, burned the spirit card, and then gave the little concubine the fairy water that was said to be given by the gods. It is strange to say that many famous doctors could not cure the serious illness, but healed quickly... ...!"

Chu Huan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, of course he didn't really think that it was ghosts and gods, but he thought in his heart that maybe Fairy Ma knew some medical skills and was cured by her by accident. Or there may be other reasons for the accident.

"Because of this incident, her reputation has grown." Su Zhongkui said: "The governor thanked her for saving the concubine's room, and specially built a residence for her, which was called a temple. Later, many people suffered from After getting sick, instead of going to see a doctor, go to Ma Xiangu. Those who have money to see a doctor also go to Ma Xiangu. After recovering, everyone respects her very much, and her reputation is getting bigger and bigger."

Chu Huan was secretly amused. In fact, he was not ignorant of this kind of trick. There are also witches and witches in later generations who can heal all kinds of diseases by reciting mantras and water. In fact, many patients can be cured not because of the witches, but because of The disease was not very serious, and it could heal itself after a while, but it seemed to be the work of the sorceress who saw it and later recovered.

Chu Huan knew that there was actually a psychological suggestion in the process. When people say that the witch can cure all diseases and spread it around, the patients think that the witch can cure their illnesses, so they are already full of hope psychologically, which is very beneficial to the sick body , and witches often choose patients, and those who are truly terminally ill, witches often take off.

The common people are superstitious about ghosts and gods, and as the story spreads, the more it spreads, the more magical it becomes.

"Besides curing diseases, does she have other abilities?" Chu Huan asked, "Just because she cured a few people, dare to call her a fairy?"

Su Zhongkui said: "My lord, curing diseases is not his greatest ability. Her greatest ability is to be able to ask God to give rain... The sky in the northwest is dry, it often does not rain, and there is a lack of water everywhere. When it is serious, the common people will not be able to survive. Everyone said that Ma Xiangu has supernatural powers, and begged her to ask the gods for rain. This Ma Xiangu promised several times, and it did not rain for a long time. A few times, she used the snake to lead the way, found the root of the disaster, and then removed it. It is strange to say that she prayed for rain several times, and it would rain in three to five days at the earliest, and it would rain in half a month at the slowest, so everyone at that time I really believe that Ma Xiangu can reach the gods."

"So that's how it is." Chu Huan smiled lightly. It seems that the Ma Xiangu was able to "confuse" everyone. Is there any misfortune?"

"My lord, Ma Xiangu came out of the temple and let the snake lead the way, she must be looking for ghosts." Su Zhongkui said: "She is already old, she stays in the temple, and she also has incense money to offer, so she doesn't come out easily. There must be a disaster... She came out today, she must be causing trouble, the old man said, this Ma Xiangu is very likely to come to the governor's mansion today, the old man told you to prepare early and be careful...!"

"Aiming at the governor's mansion?" Chu Huan leaned back on the chair, "It seems that the governor's seat is really not easy to sit in. I haven't started the business yet, and there are so many troubles every day when I open my eyes. Go back and tell me The old man, just say that the Governor is very grateful for his reminder, if the ghosts and clowns in the Governor's Mansion want to make trouble in the Governor's Mansion, then you really have to weigh whether you have the ability to do so."

Su Zhongkui hesitated for a moment, but still said: "My lord, the old man asked the villain to tell you that this Fairy Ma has many followers, especially the ordinary people. Many people think that Fairy is supernatural, and they are very fond of her. Hundreds of people came out, and the momentum was not small. Although the lord has elite soldiers, but... But the old man told the villain to tell you that unless you have to, you must not... you must not conflict with Ma Xiangu, let alone mobilize troops easily, otherwise ...I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable...!"

Knowing that the Su family had good intentions, Chu Huan said with a smile, "Reassure the old man, the governor knows how to deal with it...!"

Only then did Su Zhongkui take his leave and go out. As soon as Su Zhongkui went out, Du Fugong came out from behind the screen. Chu Huan had already asked, "Mr. Du, do you think that sorceress is really coming for the Governor's Mansion?"

"Ten chances!" Du Fu said fairly: "Get out in the morning and come out in the evening. My lord has just arrived at Shuoquan, and it is almost considered that he has not taken a breath. This Ma Xiangu jumped out, there must be a big problem."

Chu Huan said with a faint smile: "If she really came to the governor's mansion, it must have been planned in advance... I heard that she gathered hundreds of people, and people from the Su family said just now that this witch does not leave the temple easily. It is not easy to enter the temple, since she does not go out of the temple, how can there be hundreds of people gathered?"

Du Fu stroked his beard and said: "Du is curious. If their target is really the governor's mansion, what reason will they use? If the master is famous, easily offending the governor's mansion is tantamount to rebellion... Without a good reason, they dare not Such a rash move...!"

"People from the Su family said they carried the corpses." Chu Huan frowned, "Six or seven corpses were carried on stretchers. Could it be that they still want to carry the corpses to the Governor's Mansion?"

Du Fu just wanted to say something, but at this moment, he saw Sun Zikong's voice, "Master, it's not good, something serious happened..." He rushed into the hall anxiously, followed by a person behind him, but it was that Su Zhongkui went and returned.

Chu Huan stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Zhongkui's forehead was sweating, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said, "My lord, really... really came for the governor's mansion, they...they have arrived at the corner of this street, and are... heading towards the governor's mansion. Come here...!"

"I have asked them to close the gate, and sent someone to notify the guard camp." Sun Zikong was also a little flustered, "They are a large group of black people, master, are these guys going to rebel?"

Chu Huan and Du Fugong looked at each other, and Du Fugong had already said: "My lord, the old man of the Su family is right. Before the matter is clarified, you must not use weapons lightly. The guard battalion has elite soldiers and strong generals. Those hundreds of troublemakers , although it can be calmed down soon, but Du is worried that someone will make a big fuss...!"

Chu Huan said: "Sir, are you worried that someone will say that I am a tyrannical and cruel person, that when I first arrived, I would use weapons and slaughter people?"

Du Fugong nodded and said: "That's right. Your Excellency has just arrived in Xiguan, and the people don't even know what kind of person you are. If you make an easy move today, it will soon spread. Then Ma Xiangu has some reputation in Shuoquan. By then The common people will not question the reason why the lord took action, but only think that the lord will attack the people. In this way, the statement of the lord will be greatly damaged... It is easy to damage the reputation, but it is not easy to build up the prestige and reputation. "

Chu Huan knew that what Du Fugong said was true, and the common people were the most easily bewitched. If there was someone deliberately planning behind it today, maybe the other party was waiting for Chu Huan to make a move. As long as Chu Huan made a move, it would be quickly When it spread, what the common people heard was the news that the new governor had killed the common people. If so, then Chu Huan would not have a firm foothold, and he would have left a great reputation in Xiguan.
