Chapter 151 Outbreak
When Liu Yuan saw Zheng Hong bringing Wang Qi in, he thought of many things.

He thought of how Zheng Hong cared about Wang Qi before, and also thought of Zheng Hong interrogating Wang Qi alone.

At that time Liu Yuan thought that Wang Qi would be very important, but he didn't think that it would be so important that he could become a witness against the magistrate at this moment.

Zheng Hong brought Wang Qi in and saw Liu Yuan in the crowd.

When he saw Liu Yuan and Gu Chen beside him, Zheng Hong frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just nodded to the two of them, then walked into the hall, and saluted the two important officials in the hall:

"Official Zheng Hong, see the two adults."

"Master Zheng, there is no need to gossip, just bring your witness card."

Gu Chengli said in a flat tone.

Zheng Hong nodded, and waved for the two Pinghu officers behind him to quickly bring Wang Qi with him.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Chun sat there unhurriedly, with a calm expression, and asked the two in front of him:

"Witness? Mr. Gu, you should know that if you find someone to testify against an important person in the court, if it is found out to be a false accusation afterwards, the person who framed it will bear the crime of false accusation."

To put it simply, whoever made the rumor and whoever framed it, if it is found out afterwards that there was no such thing, the rumor maker will not only commit the crime of framing, but also bear the crime of making the rumor.

Take the present as an example. Gu Chengli asked Zhao Chun to testify that he caused heavy rain in Ningzhou, which caused tens of thousands of people to be displaced and homeless. It also caused floods in Ningzhou and caused serious financial losses in various places.

If this matter is true, according to the laws of Daqi, the official position will be dismissed, and the three clans will be exiled. The wife clan, father clan, and mother clan will all be exiled into the army.

If Zhao Chun was not an official, this would not be exile, and his head would be beheaded instead.

Also known as the Yi tribe.

But if this matter is proved to be a frame-up, then the framer will bear the crime of exiling the three clans.

In other words, if Gu Chengli couldn't produce concrete evidence to prove that Zhao Chun had done this, then the charge would fall on Gu Chengli.

Of course, with the power of the Gu family, the imperial court would probably not trouble the Gu family, but Gu Chengli's wife and her family would definitely not be able to please.

What Zhao Chun said to Gu Chengli at this moment was a warning to him.

Gu Chengli did not respond to Zhao Chun, but nodded to Zheng Hong to signal him to continue, Zheng Hong kicked Wang Qi to the ground and said:

"Okay, now you can say whatever you want."

Wang Qi knelt on the ground tremblingly, raised his head to look at the several important officials of Ningzhou beside him, and said tremblingly:

"Villain... villain Wang Qi, people from Ningzhou...Ningzhou Danyang..."

"I didn't ask what your name was."

Zheng Hong frowned, and said to Wang Qi: "Tell me, whose order did you obey to make Ningzhou rain continuously?"

As soon as Zheng Hong said this, the refugees behind him were in an uproar.

"Did he do it?"

"Didn't you say that the magistrate made it?"

"who knows……"

"kill him!!!"

The common people were clamoring, some were doubtful, some were angry.

Zheng Hong turned his head and asked the people from Pinghu Division to signal the refugees to stay calm and wait for Wang Qi to continue talking.

Seeing that the group of refugees behind him wanted to step forward and kill him, Wang Qi quickly explained:
"It's not me...it's not me! My lords, how can the grassroots have the ability to make it rain in Ningzhou! It's...it's...the court! No...not...it's a person who claims to be the court! He gave the villain A box for the villain to open outside Danyang City...

"On the second day after opening, it rained heavily on the Danyang scale! So it's not the villain, it's the box!!"

"A mere small box can cause heavy rain in Ningzhou. If you say this... Do you believe it, Mr. Gu?"

Zhao Chun asked Gu Chengli back.

Gu Chengli smiled and said:
"Lord Zhao, don't pretend to be confused. There are a lot of weird things in this world. Not to mention, the frontier was attacked by barbarians ten years ago, but all of a sudden, heavy snow fell in the originally cloudless weather, which made the barbarians heavy casualties...

"The border has this power, and the capital also has this power. Now in the hands of your Master Zhao, you also have this power."

"Oh, ridiculous."

Zhao Chun sneered.

Gu Chengli did not argue with him, but signaled Zheng Hong to continue.

After receiving the instructions, Zheng Hong immediately went to ask Wang Qi again, asking:
"The man who gave you the box, do you know his name?"

"The villain doesn't know, the villain only knows... he... he claims to be a member of the Imperial City Department, and he comes here to perform important tasks. As long as he helps him do things, the villain... the villain's crimes can be written off for me!"

"Why did the people from the Imperial City Division come here? Don't you want to spout blood."

Zheng Hong and Wang Qi sang together. On the surface, it seemed that he was reprimanding Wang Qi not to talk nonsense, but in fact he was asking Wang Qi if he knew anything that could prove the identity of the other party.

Wang Qi also understood, or he already knew what Zheng Hong was going to ask, and when he was asked by Zheng Hong, he said without thinking:
"He...has the magistrate's order on him!! Yes! I've seen that token before! It is indeed the magistrate's order!"

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Zheng Hong turned his head to Gu Chengli and said:
"Master Gu, that's what the criminal said."

Gu Chengli glanced at Zhao Chun who was still calm, and couldn't help frowning slightly, then said to Zheng Hong:

"It doesn't matter what he says. He said it was the order of the prefect, or it may be the order of the prefect. There is no evidence for this, so how can you believe it?"

"There is evidence! There is evidence!!"

The conversation between Gu Chengli and Zheng Hong made Wang Qi feel a chill, and he said quickly:
"The villain was worried that the big man in the court would kill me after I finished my work, so I deliberately kept the small box, and at the bottom of the small box, there is the seal of the magistrate!"

"Where is the box?"

Gu Chengli asked again.

This time it was not Wang Qi who answered, but Zheng Hong.

He asked his subordinates to take out a boxy box, presented it to Gu Chengli, and said:
"Master Gu, the lower officials have sent people to find this box according to what Wang Qi said, and inside this box... there is indeed the seal of the prefect."

Gu Chen was hidden in the crowd, and when he saw the box taken out, he was sure that this box was the same as the Zhen family in Dan'an City... no, it should be called Dan'an Town now, and it was used to contain weirdness and disasters. ' box.

From this, it can be confirmed that Wang Qi is one of the four people who released the disaster in Ningzhou.

When he was in Shuzhou before, Gu Chen heard from Wu Peng that if he wanted to let the disaster cover the whole state, in addition to placing the core of the disaster in the center, he also had to place things related to the disaster in three other places. .

In other words, it is a derivative of disaster, which is called 'evil'.

The shape of E is almost the same as that of Calamity, but because it is not the core, the ability is different.

I don't know what Shuzhou's Evil ability is for the time being, but Gu Chen already knows one of Ningzhou's "Evil" abilities.

It is to make people's existence disappear.

Shi Hongsheng from Liuguangmen in Ningzhou released the 'evil' outside of Dan'an City, causing Dan'an City to become Dan'an Town, and most of the people in the city disappeared.

Later, the unlucky Xue Tao caught by Gu Chen was in a village far downstream of Ningzhou City, and the villagers opened it up, and the result was the same as outside Dan'an City.

The existence of the village disappeared. Xue Tao only vaguely remembered such an event, but he could no longer remember the specific location.

just now……

Wang Qi was the one who opened the last box, and the one who finally released "evil", and now Gu Chengli seems to use this incident to bring down Zhao Chun.

But there is only one thing that Gu Chen is more curious about. Why are things in the lower reaches of Dan'an City and Ningzhou City forgotten, but Danyang City is remembered?

Just as Gu Chen thought this way, he heard the surrounding refugees talking:

"Danyang City?"

"Is there such a city?"

"... Danyang Town seems to exist, but... when did it become a city?"

As the refugees talked with each other, Gu Chen no longer had any doubts in his heart.

It seems that it's not that Danyang City still exists, but that Wang Qi and the others used some unknown method to leave memories about Danyang City.

Gu Chen was thinking, but Gu Chengli didn't care about the conversations of the common people.

He stood beside Zhao Chun, looked at Zhao Chun and said:

"Your Majesty... the next official guesses, you should say that this box has nothing to do with you, and you don't know the seal inside, right?"

Pop, pop, pop.

As soon as Gu Chengli finished speaking, applause broke out in the hall.

Zhao Chun clapped his palms, let out a long breath and said:
"Wonderful, really wonderful, it seems that Mr. Gu, you really came prepared, but there is one thing you guessed wrong."

"Oh?"

Gu Chengli's eyes moved slightly, he watched Zhao Chun get up, saw the smile on Zhao Chun's face that should not have appeared, and heard the other party admit it generously:
"Do you think I will deny it? You are wrong about this! This is what I did! It was the places that I asked Yan Xin of the Imperial City Division to select, and I released them in Ningzhou City myself." Disaster! I admit it! What can you do with me!"

"Prefect Zhao, you—!"

A strong premonition rose in Gu Chengli's heart. He was pointing at Zhao Chun to say something, but he heard Zhao Chun say:

"Gu Chengli, I admit that you are indeed very good and found so much evidence against me, but I'm afraid you can't imagine where I put the disaster!"

Zhao Chun's words made Gu Chengli's pupils dilate, and Zheng Hong was also shocked and asked:
"Could it be—!"

"End bid!"

Before the play in front of him was over, Gu Chen immediately called for Jie Biao beside him.

Jie Biao also faithfully fulfilled her duties as a tool worker. The moment Gu Chen spoke, she immediately disappeared from the spot with Gu Chen.

That is to say, the next moment after the two left, the black pillar of disaster that directly reached the sky exploded, and the black mist that only Gu Chen and related personnel could see enveloped the entire prefect's mansion at that moment. Ya.

At that moment, all the people in Ningzhou forgot all the things in the magistrate's yamen.

They don't remember that there is a magistrate in Ningzhou, nor do they remember that there is a magistrate in Ningzhou, and they don't remember that refugees ever came here.

And at the same time, the rain in Ningzhou City seemed to be getting heavier.
