Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1276 The fermentation of rumors and the beginning of conspiracy

The finishing touches after the dredging; how to resettle the refugees who are part of the corvee; how to catch all corrupt officials; and how to allocate limited supplies for post-disaster reconstruction, etc.

One by one, Liu Yao spoke logically.

During the negotiation process, he valued Bai Mingwei's opinion, but he did not rely absolutely on it.

He has his own mature and stable opinions and thoughtful considerations.

The whole process went very smoothly.

After finalizing the general process, Liu Yao called Cheng Bi, who had been busy outside: "Prepare some meals for the general and take care of her for a short rest."

Cheng Bi respectfully agreed.

Bai Mingwei bowed and said goodbye.

Cheng Bi was surprised and happy at Bai Mingwei's arrival: "Miss, why are you here?"

Bai Mingwei told her calmly: "Come and take a look, and deal with Mr. Meng's matter by the way."

Cheng Bi couldn't get around it for a while: "Miss, Mr. Meng is not here, what should you deal with him?"

Bai Ming smiled and said nothing.

Cheng Bi thought hard and suddenly realized something.

But then, she frowned worriedly: "Miss, is Mr. Meng in danger?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Yes."

Cheng Bi was even more worried: "What should we do? Mr. Meng is a good person, and I don't want anything to happen to him."

Bai Ming smiled reassuringly, but didn't say anything.

She quickly wrote a secret letter and gave it to the secret guard in charge of the secret letter, who delivered the letter as quickly as possible.

Then after simply eating a little, he went to take a short rest.

Your body is always your own, no matter how busy you are, you should take care of it.

She has always been very clear about this matter.

Cheng Bi felt uneasy inside.

But he also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to calm down and take good care of his master.

……

the other side.

Meng Ziang was already aware of his situation, but he seemed very calm and handled various matters within the scope of his duties as usual.

Ah Liu knew first that Mingwei's letter arrived in one step, guarded in the dark.

What followed was Bai Mingwei's secret message.

Ah Liu personally handed it to Meng Ziang:

"Sir, the girl has confessed that it concerns his vital interests. Please read the contents of the letter carefully and cooperate with the girl to solve this problem."

Meng Ziang opened the letter without changing his expression, focusing on the content on the letter.

When all the points were memorized, he burned the letter in flames.

The flames gradually engulfed the paper, and it was vaguely visible that a simple map was outlined on the last piece of paper.

"I understand, thank you General."

Ah Liu didn't say much and quietly retreated.

Meng Ziang continued to deal with the matter at hand as if nothing had happened.

I don't know how much time had passed before Bai Xiao walked into the simple camp and said, "Sir, there are bad rumors circulating among the corvee people."

Meng Ziang raised his eyelids: "What kind of rumors?"

Bai Xiao reported the truth: "I don't know who has spread the rumor that opening the gate to release floods angered the mountain god and made the mountain god punish him. That's why the corvee who opened the gate went crazy."

When Meng Ziang heard this, he did not show any disdainful reaction. Although he didn't talk about strange powers and gods, scholars were very respectful of ghosts and gods, so he naturally wouldn't think such rumors were ridiculous.

After thinking for a moment, he looked solemn: "To what extent has it developed so far?"

Bai Xiao told him: "At present, they are only talking about offending the mountain god and being punished by the mountain god."

Meng Ziang was silent for a moment, and then said: "You can't even describe the sufferings, and it's hard to believe in gods and Buddhas. People's lives are hard, and when big or small things happen in their lives, they either blame ghosts or gods, and they always have to find a place of sustenance. . Otherwise, they will not even have the confidence to live.”

"To us, this matter sounds like nonsense. However, to the people who place their faith in the gods, such rumors will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and convince them."

"It won't take long for this matter to escalate rapidly. When the time comes, as long as someone jumps out and says that I was the one who suggested opening the gate, then the wrath of the corvee will be burned on me indiscriminately."

All the mouths of gold, accumulating and destroying bones.

No one knows the power of rumor better than he does.

At the same time, he also knew very well how firm the belief of ghosts and gods would be once it became a suffering person.

Bai Xiao naturally understood what Mr. Meng said, and he said: "Sir, if this is the case, this problem may not be easy to solve."

Meng Ziang said lightly: "It is quite stupid to try to change a person's belief. Since you can't change it, you can only go with the flow."

Bai Xiao was confused: "Following the trend? Sir, do you want to encourage this kind of majesty and evil?"

Meng Ziang shook his head: "It's not to encourage any evil trend. Since ancient times, what's going strong will inevitably decline. I want you to help push the trend and let the rumors get worse and worse until they get out of hand. But don't let anyone know that you are pushing it."

Bai Xiao didn't know why, but he still responded respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Meng Ziang said no more.

He continued to deal with the matters at hand seriously to ensure that the entire process of flood discharge and dredging would not cause any problems that should not exist due to any human errors. "

I don’t know how much time has passed by the time I finish the things at hand.

After Meng Ziang had eaten, he left the camp and walked around Qingdu Weir.

From the moment he appeared, he received strange looks from everyone.

At first, he was just peeking sideways, but later, a pair of hot/spicy eyes were unabashed, as if they were trying to stun him.

Meng Ziang continued walking as if nothing had happened, as if those eyes had not affected him at all.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, someone made a ball of mud and threw it hard on his head.

His head was hit slightly to the side, and when he reached out to touch the place where it was hit, there was a large ball of mud stuck to his hair and face. Even his bun was crooked.

"Sir, give me a veil."

Bai Xiao suppressed his anger and quickly handed him a handkerchief to wipe away the mud.

Then, Bai Xiao looked around with a sullen look on his face.

However, when I glanced around, there were only numb faces, and I couldn't tell who threw the mud.

Bai Xiao was furious: "Who threw it?! Come forward! Otherwise, if I find out, I won't be able to spare him!"

But such scolding was not only useless, but also made the surrounding servants look at him with colder eyes.

Behind that coldness, there seemed to be a sworn hatred.

"Snapped!"

Another ball of mud was thrown from the crowd and hit Meng Ziang on the forehead.

After Meng Ziang wiped off the mud, the blood quickly washed the mud stuck to his head down his cheeks.

The hard objects mixed in the mud caused his head to bleed, which shows how much hatred the person who threw the mud had.

"presumptuous!"

Bai Xiao roared angrily, preparing to attack the crowd.
