Chapter 223 The Natural Disaster Is Coming, Please Take Care Of Itself

Sensing Bai Jingyi's gaze, these fishermen turned pale from fright and couldn't kneel down.

If they were brought into the prison, they might still have a chance of survival. After all, they just killed some carp, but if they were left here, wouldn't they have no way to survive.

"Clang~~~~~"

Bai Jingyi very slowly pulled out the long sword from Hua Mulan's waist.

The sound of metal grinding between the long sword and the scabbard made the fishermen's scalps tingle with fright. Li Er and the others were even more shocked, and even took a few steps back.

When Li Er came to his senses, his face was flushed, he stared at Bai Jingyi with wide eyes and said, "Shut up! In broad daylight, you"

"Heh! The evidence is solid, so what if it's in broad daylight!?" Bai Jingyi said indifferently.

I didn't notice at all that there was something wrong with Hua Mulan's face, after all, the hilt of the long sword at her waist was too close to her
These fishermen looked up at the long sword in Bai Jingyi's hand, and they all shivered back with their knees.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"The grassroots are guilty! The grassroots are guilty!"

"I beg this official to spare the grass people's life! The grass people are just confused for a while!"

However, Bai Jingyi did smile faintly, and in the eyes of these fishermen, this smile seemed to be the King of Hades smiling at them.

Bai Jingyi said in a very cold tone: "You are guilty!?"

"Now, in front of the holy majesty, you are deceiving the emperor and killing the nine clans according to the crime!"

Li Ergang wanted to speak. After all, since he ascended the throne, he has been implementing a benevolent government, so why would he set the punishment of killing the nine clans.But Li Eryan put it back on his lips.

Because he also wanted to see who instigated these people, and also wanted to confirm whether the thoughts in his mind were correct.

Bai Jingyi directly put the blade of the long sword in his hand on these fishermen's necks, and asked in a cold tone: "If you confess now, you still have a chance!"

"If it's not the case, everyone will be killed! After all, people who deceive people and harm people with evil words are not qualified to live in this world!"

Hearing these words, after the fishermen heard Bai Jingyi's words, many images filled their minds instantly.

They imagined that when a group of officers and soldiers rushed into their home, they captured their wives, children and children and executed them on the spot.

In desperation, these people could only honestly explain to Bai Jingyi.

"I also ask this general to spare Caomin's life! Caomin and others are indeed bewitched!"

The fishermen who followed were talking with Bai Jingyi while looking at their heads.

But Bai Jingyi turned his head, looked at him coldly and said: "This time, if you still dare to lie, this general will definitely kill you!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Caomin pleaded guilty, and Caomin confessed everything!"

After saying these words, he glanced at the monks in the distance, and then secretly glanced at the Holy Majesty.

After all, as far as he was concerned, his wife, children, and children all lived in Chang'an City, so if the royal family wanted to search, it would be a breeze.

He sorted out his thoughts, but thought in his heart: "Although I will offend that adult if I tell the mastermind behind it, it's better than killing the whole family!"

"After we can overcome this difficulty, no matter what, we must send a message to our family to let them escape Chang'an City as soon as possible!"

Immediately, the head of the fisherman pretended to be calm and said: "If you go back to the general, the grass people are bewitched by these monks!"

Bai Jingyi said without any surprise: "Continue talking!"

The fisherman knelt on the ground and continued: "A few days ago, the great master of Lanruo Temple came to find Caomin and asked Caomin to lead a group of brothers to fish by the river!"

"The grassroots know that killing carp is a serious crime, but they can't resist the temptation of the archmage! They did such a stupid thing! Please, the general, spare my family!"

After the monks heard the fisherman's words, they all fell silent.

Although they wanted to justify themselves at this time, they didn't know how to justify at all, because there was no suitable reason at all.

Now the people behind him have also known the truth, and the people began to spread word of mouth.

"What was the fault of that archmage!?"

"Could it be said that the disaster was fake!? Everything is the conspiracy of the archmage!?"

"But why do such a good thing!? Does it do him any good!?"

As the people at the bottom, they don't know the dark struggle among the powerful above the officialdom.

All the people are skeptical. In their view, the archmage has no reason to do this.Even if this is true, why did the monks of Lanruo Temple throw themselves into the river to alleviate the disaster?

Bai Jingyi waved his hand to signal the common people to be quiet, and then asked, "Then what kind of benefits did the monk of Lanruo Temple promise to give you!?"

"Om~~"

The long sword buzzed in Bai Jingyi's hand, and he took it back directly.

Seeing that the long sword around his neck was removed, the fisherman breathed a sigh of relief.Speaking is also smoother.

He looked at Bai Jingyi and said, "Returning to the general, the great mage promised that as long as we can make the banks of the ten-mile-long river full of dead carp, he will replace the merit box of Lanruo Temple with our own." box!"

"Sigh~~~"

When hearing these words, the people behind couldn't help but gasped.

How much would it cost to replace the merit box in Lanruo Temple with theirs? ?

There are at least a thousand pilgrims who go to Lanruo Temple to offer incense every day. Even if each person only puts a penny, there is still money every day.

Moreover, there have been many pilgrims from Lanruo Temple recently, and no one knows how much money is in the merit box.

No wonder there are no monks at all in Lanruo Temple recently, only the strange merit box in the outer courtyard.

The common people woke up one after another and knew that they had been fooled. Their money was not dedicated to the gods, but put into the pockets of these people.

When he heard this, Cheng Yaojin shouted very angrily: "His grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's, these beasts! It's blasphemy!"

"With such a blasphemous act, how could natural disasters not come to my Tang Dynasty!?"

Li Er was even trembling with anger. Although he didn't care about the money, such behavior was really infuriating. The most important thing was that these people not only acted vulgarly, but also bewitched people's hearts.

If these people rioted in Chang'an City, wouldn't Chang'an City be in chaos! ?
Bai Jingyi turned his head to look at the monks in front of him, then smiled lightly and said, "Heh! Do you have any excuses!?"

Immediately, a monk stood up and clasped his hands together, and said neither sad nor happy: "It's pure nonsense! And it's empty talk!"

Bai Jingyi sneered and said, "Heh! According to your point of view, the natural disasters coming to the Tang Dynasty are all based on your empty words! And you even made up lies to deceive the Holy Majesty!"

Now the common people are completely confused, they don't know the truth of the matter at all.

They don't even know what is the stake in it, why the archmage would fabricate such a lie to deceive the people of the world.

The monk clasped his hands together, put on a very pious look and said: "Everyone in the world is stupid, and it is difficult to get over by themselves! Natural disasters are coming, so you can do it yourself!"
