my grandfather was qin shi huang
Chapter 396 I’m not doing it because of money
A middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, with three strands of clear beard, who looked like an immortal, walked out of the room with an indifferent expression.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly stood up, followed Wu Rui, and rushed over.
"I have met Mr. Li -"
"Li Banxian" stood on the steps, his eyes calmly scanning the crowd.
"I already know your intentions, but -"
Having said this, the "Li Banxian" waved his hand gently.
"The clues of a murderous intention from heaven have been revealed. How can manpower intervene without permission? You go back and make plans early. Please forgive me for my inability to do anything about this matter..."
After hearing Li Banxian's words, everyone at the foot of the steps was not only not surprised, but felt happy.
If you can't interfere arbitrarily, then you can interfere!
"Sir, please advise me. If I can avoid the bloody disaster in Lujiang County, Rui will not hesitate to die!"
After saying that, Wu Rui straightened his clothes and bowed his head.
Li Banxian on the steps frowned slightly when he heard this. He slightly avoided Wu Rui's long bow and looked at Wu Rui who refused to get up with an unhappy expression.
"You are the head of a county, an official of the court, and you are responsible for the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. How can you kneel down and worship me, a person from outside the country? Isn't this ruining my destiny?"
Wu Rui then stood up awkwardly.
"I'm just ignorant. I hope you won't blame me sir..."
After saying that, he slightly arched his hands.
"However, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Lujiang County, please show us a clear path..."
"Please sir, please give me some guidance..."
Zhou Zhao, Du He and others also followed suit and pleaded.
However, Li Banxian looked indifferent, shook his head indifferently, and walked straight down the steps. Looking at the posture, he was actually about to leave.
This is when a middle-aged man with a round figure and a big belly suddenly took a step across and blocked the way of "Li Banxian".
Panting heavily, he cupped his hands with a smile on his face.
"Sir, please stay here. As long as you are willing to show us a clear path up and down the Lujiang River, we are willing to raise ten dollars..."
As he spoke, he kept observing the expression of the "Li Banxian" in front of him. Seeing that he was not moved at all, he simply gritted his teeth.
"No, we are willing to raise millions of dollars, please sir!"
Sure enough, Mr. Li, who had already raised his feet to leave, stopped again. He immediately knew that this was something serious and quickly looked around at everyone.
"What do you think..."
Raise millions!
This number is really not a small number. Wu Rui's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at the wealthy families in Lujiang County, and then glanced calmly at "Li Banxian" who stood with his hands behind his back.
Others didn't notice, but he did.
When the head of the Han family asked him to raise millions of dollars, his hands shook uncontrollably.
Although Zhou Zhao, Du He and others had a big family and a big business, they couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache when they heard this number. However, after thinking about it for a while, they nodded with tacit understanding and echoed.
"We are willing to spend some extravagant money to pray for the elders of Lujiang County!"
There are dozens or hundreds of aristocratic families in Lujiang County, as well as many merchants with huge sums of money. If they really want to pay, with Governor Wu now, it is probably impossible to catch just a few of them collecting wool and share it evenly. In fact, there is no way. How much, but it can gain a reputation for praying for the people, which is definitely a good thing that costs nothing.
What's more, the situation is pressing, and no one dares to bet on whether what Li Banxian said is true or false.
With the presence of the Zhou family, the Du family, and the Han family, all the old foxes present immediately understood the twists and turns, and immediately expressed their opinions by patting their chests.
If you are willing to save the people of Lujiang County from their ruined homes, please ask Mr. Li to take action.
As everyone knows, at this moment, the master in their hearts has clenched his fists with excitement. He has been cheating for a lifetime. When has he ever played such a big game!
Those on the pole are rushing to stuff money into their hands, and one thing is millions of dollars.
In order to avoid exposing his flaws, he could only put his hands behind his back at a forty-five degree angle and look up at the sky. After a long time, he managed to calm down the excitement in his heart, coughed slightly, and turned around.
"It's not that I'm greedy for these extravagant wealth, but the sincerity of your pleas for the people moved me..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Forget it! This is the fate of my fate..."
Having said this, he gritted his teeth and turned to look at the people in front of him.
"To be honest, the cause and effect of this matter in Lujiang County is too great. If I try to solve it by force, I will be punished by God and my life will be shortened for fifty years. I am not collecting this wealth for any other reason, but to borrow the help of the imperial court to make a fortune in Lujiang County." Do good deeds and accumulate virtue to make up for God’s punishment and seek a glimmer of hope..."
After talking for a long time, don’t you still want to collect money?
Although everyone is slandering in their hearts, at this time, no one will speak out. After all, they are counting on this master to guide people like them.
"In this case, please give me some advice, sir..."
"Li Banxian" shook his head solemnly.
"Isn't it so easy to interfere with the secrets of heaven with human power? You should set up the incense table here, burn incense and pray. I also want to go back to the room, take a shower and change clothes, in order to have a chance of survival..."
If he has given away millions of dollars, he will naturally not make any mistakes on such a trivial matter.
Soon, the incense table was set up, the tributes were placed, and the sandalwood was lit. Sheriff Wu Rui led everyone to respectfully step forward to burn incense and salute.
Li Banxian returned to his room. Naturally, someone from the guest house sent him buckets of hot water and the like for him to bathe, change clothes, and pray for heaven's destiny.
The door of "Li Banxian" was closed tightly.
No one dared to come forward to interfere. Only the sandalwood was burning in the whole yard, making it look more solemn and solemn. Just like that, about half an hour passed before I heard the door ring.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.
But just one glance, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath!
Where is this old man with his hair covered in black hair and his immortal demeanor?
This is clearly an old man with a beard and hair like snow, a childlike face, and a shaky figure when he walks!
Lose fifty years of life!
This thought flashed in everyone's mind instantly, and even the county guard Wu Rui couldn't help but open his eyes wide, looking at the "Li Banxian" in front of him in disbelief.
Is your life really shortened by fifty years?
But all this is not deceiving anyone.
In half an hour, a head of black silk turned to white hair!
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and secretly rejoiced in their hearts. They made up their minds at that time and did not gamble on the authenticity of this so-called bloody disaster. Otherwise, I am afraid that a catastrophe will really happen and they will follow in the footsteps of the wealthy families in Changsha County. . “Fortunately, I live up to my fate!”
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. You are so righteous, sir—"
Everyone bowed deeply to "Li Banxian", who had white hair and beard and was even a little staggering in his steps.
This gift is much more sincere than the one just now.
Li Banxian looked at them, sighed, and waved his hand gently.
"Forget it, I deserve this calamity in my life - you have not forgotten about the millions of money. When I look at the north, there is a majestic and colorful aura, like a long dragon, winding towards me. It should be the emperor. His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, is about to arrive. You can just leave the millions of money to the eldest grandson of the emperor. I heard that he came all the way to set up a charity hall and extend kindness to the people. He just predicted this cause and effect for me..."
After saying that, he staggered straight past the crowd and was about to leave.
When Wu Rui saw this, he quickly stepped forward to persuade him to stay. However, Li Banxian bluntly said that his fate with Lujiang was over and he had decided to leave. No one dared to force him to stay, so they had no choice but to prepare a carriage for Li Banxian, and also prepared a sufficiently generous ceremony and delivered it to the door of the guest house.
With the support of Wu Rui and others, Li Banxian climbed onto the shaft of the carriage and drove off the carriage driver assigned to him by the people from Lujiang County. Then he looked at the crowd and gave a serious reminder.
"Millions of dollars are spent not only to pray for me, but also for the whole Lujiang River. Whether this will succeed or not depends on how far you can go, so you can do it yourself..."
After saying that, he shook the reins and headed straight out of the city.
Someone just sent someone to follow my master to find out where he was, but Wu Rui stopped him with a serious look on his face.
"Are you trying to bring trouble to our Lujiang County again?"
In one word, it instantly misfires.
No one dared to send anyone to find out where the master who could judge people's misfortunes and interfere with heaven's secrets had gone.
"Although sir has left, you must not forget what he told you when he left. Why don't you go back to the house with me and discuss a charter as soon as possible -"
"It's natural!"
A group of people followed Wu Rui and returned to the Sheriff's Mansion.
Millions of dollars are needed, but there are really rules for who will contribute and who will contribute how much.
But this time there was no wrangling. The Zhou family, the Du family, the Han family, the Sun family, and the Cai family, the top five wealthy families in Lujiang County, each took the lead in agreeing to pay 100,000 yuan, and more than ten other families contributed a total of 500,000 yuan. money.
As for how the money will be distributed to the vassal families below after they return, that is another story.
The county governor Wu Rui immediately highly praised the benevolence and righteousness of these wealthy families.
All that's left is to collect the money.
One hundred thousand dollars is really not a small amount of money. Even for the Zhou family, the Du family, the Han family, the Sun family, and the Cai family, which have been the top families in Lujiang County for hundreds of years, it is not easy to withdraw so much cash at once.
It took three days to collect enough money from various places and send it to the county governor's house.
Wu Rui has been the county guard in Lujiang County for nearly ten years. This is the first time he has seen so much money. One million dollars can't even be kept in the treasury of the county governor's office. He has no choice but to have someone free it up. Several warehouses for temporary storage.
Of course there are complaints. After all, I didn’t witness that incredible scene with my own eyes, and I wouldn’t be happy with anyone else who would waste money and eliminate disasters in such a mindless manner. But under the suppression of these aristocratic families in Lujiang County, they quickly disappeared without a trace.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, on the day of the People's Day, Huang Changsun's carriage finally arrived outside Lujiang City.
Wu Rui, the governor of Lujiang County, took the officials of the county and went ten miles out of the city to greet him personally. Accompanying him were the wealthy people from Lujiang County who had just raised a million in donations.
Although Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, was only a legend, everyone recognized his identity instantly when they saw him. Without him, the characteristics are too distinct.
The dark clouds and snow under his crotch were a full head taller than the other horses. He himself was more than two meters tall. Sitting on the horse, he looked like a giant. The people around him surrounded him like stars over the moon. , it’s a little difficult not to notice him.
"Wu Rui, the governor of Lujiang County, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson——"
Before Zhao Ying's motorcade could approach, Wu Rui and others had already rushed forward and bowed to salute.
Zhao Ying jumped off the horse with a smile, took two quick steps, held Wu Rui's shoulders with his own hands, and said with a smile on his face.
"The governor of County Lao welcomes you from a distance——"
As he spoke, he reached out to the people behind Wu Rui to help them.
"You don't have to be polite -"
Originally, everyone was a little uneasy about His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson because of Li Banxian's prophecy, but now they could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw his gentleness and kindness.
He doesn't look like a complacent young man who can't communicate.
"Your Highness, I have prepared a residence for Your Highness and your nobles. I would also like to invite Your Highness to come into the city to rest."
The emperor's grandson, Wu Rui and others stood outside the city and exchanged greetings with each other. Then they got on their horses and followed Zhao Ying, wanting to escort him into the city.
Zhao Ying looked around and declined with a smile.
"I am bringing a lot of people with me this time. If they all go into the city, I'm afraid it won't be easy to arrange, and it will disturb the peace of Guizhou Province in the city..."
"Your Highness, don't worry. There is a martial arts field in Lujiang County City, which is enough to station tens of thousands of troops for your Highness's army to rest. We have already made preparations and invited Your Highness to enter the city..."
Zhao Ying didn't show any pretense, he smiled and cupped his hands.
"In that case, thank you very much for your kindness——"
I am afraid that I will have to stay for a while when I enter Lujiang County this time. Now that Wu Rui has made arrangements, it is really unnecessary for the forbidden troops who follow him to be stationed outside the city.
The storyteller of the Qin Dynasty has been in Chu for such a long time. I dare not say what the other effects are, but he has indeed put in a lot of efforts in publicity. Thanks to this, the great achievements of His Highness the Emperor Changsun can be said to be a household name in Lujiang County, even in the countryside. Children, everyone knows that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson led an army on his back at the age of sixteen, swept across the grassland, defeated four kingdoms in one day, and defeated the Yueshi with three arrows!
There is also a piece of Huangsun chariot, Huangsun mill, Huangsun plow, Huangsun paper that was passed to Lujiang County...
There’s even delicious food!
Of course, the most talkative thing is the beauty of His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson. Within half a year, he took in more than a dozen wives and concubines, and it is said that among them was Princess Yuezhi, the legitimate daughter of King Youxian of the Xiongnu. How many people are envious.
Of course, there are also some people who say that the emperor's eldest grandson has a strange appetite, and even married some female yakshas with blond hair, blue eyes, deep eyes and high noses, who look like female ghosts, and have sex with these female yakshas every night!
However, many people don't believe it, thinking that this is most likely due to jealousy and slander.
But no matter what, this kind of rumor happens to spread like a nose and eyes, making it difficult to tell whether it is true or not. People sometimes talk about it secretly, and even a few men who are throwing each other know how to look at each other.
In short, Zhao Ying can be regarded as a legendary figure in Lujiang County. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a household name.
Therefore, when the emperor's eldest grandson arrived in Lujiang County, he attracted onlookers as usual.
In a restaurant, a burly man, an old man wearing a gray robe, was holding a wine glass and looking calmly at the lively scene below.
