Chapter 232
Night Attack on Gyeongju (2)
The ghost festival in Gyeongju has a long history, and now it has evolved into a festival for buying and selling things, which is naturally quite popular. The full-bodied merchants dragged their tired bodies to pack their things, tired but happy. They walked out of the city gates and walked towards the next state city, maybe there was another festival there.
According to custom, the people in Gyeongju City put various tributes at their doorsteps before going to bed. Those who have money at home will put some meat and fresh fruits, and those whose family is not in a good situation will put some coarse grains. Steamed bun. In the past, there were many wild cats and wild dogs in Gyeongju. They would come to steal the tribute in the middle of the night during the ghost festival. At first, they thought that there were really ghosts coming to get the tribute. Later, some people woke up in the middle of the night and saw that they were all taken away by wild cats and wild dogs. . The prefect of Gyeongju organized a dog fighting team, and it took two years to eradicate wild cats and dogs. Over the years, although the tributes will be in good condition after the Ghost Festival, but nothing major has happened. The weather in Gyeongju is good, and the people are satisfied. After the last family of
placed the tribute, they looked left and right, then closed the door and turned off the lights to rest. The streets and alleys of Gyeongju are surprisingly quiet. Although the Ghost Festival has become a shopping and food festival, once the buildings are empty, the tributes and incense burners from each household, as well as the white paper money, are blown by the night wind. Dancing everywhere, a sense of gloom arises spontaneously.
In the middle of the night, a group of black-clothed people scattered in various streets and alleys, each with a large bag in their hands, went from house to house to collect all the tributes from the door.
The next day, many people gathered in the prefect yamen.
Zhao Jishu, the prefect of Gyeongju, walked up to the crowd and rubbed his eyes: "Everyone, before the yamen opens, why did you come so early? Is there anything important?"
"Lord Zhao, all our tributes from Gyeongju disappeared last night!" An old man with crutches stood at the front of the crowd.
"Uh, Mr. Zhang, is it yours too?" Mr. Zhang is a well-known scholar in Gyeongju, and he has taught many students, earning everyone's respect.
Zhang Lao coughed twice: "Master Zhao, this has never happened for so many years. Even if there were so many wild cats and dogs in the past, they would not take all the tributes away overnight. You know Yes, this tribute will be placed overnight. Today, all of it will be recycled and eaten by the family to keep it safe. What do you think will happen in the future?"
"Yes, what should I do if there is an accident! Hurry up and put the tribute away. Just find it back!" The surrounding people supported.
Master Zhao made a pressing gesture with both hands: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me. This tribute disappeared overnight, it is really strange, I will arrange for someone to check, most of this is man-made, so everyone Just be at ease, where are the ghosts in this world."
"Master Zhao, you just said that, I am a little surprised. If there are no ghosts, so many tributes in one night, only a few people can take them all. Let's go? Besides, there are no wild cats or dogs. Could it be that a lot of people came from outside in Gyeongju overnight? Why didn't we hear a little movement?" Zhang Lao slammed his crutches on the ground and became unhappy.
"I said Mr. Zhang, don't get excited. Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation on this matter. I'll go check it now! Everyone, go away!" Let everyone go back quickly.
"Sect Master, something happened, really something happened!" Wei Zheng and Yan Yujin walked out of the door to the yard out of breath.
Lin Shu put down the sharp sword in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked casually, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"
Yan Yujin took a cup of tea on the stone table and drank it Jin: "Brother Wei and I went to see the furniture early in the morning, but when we passed by the entrance of the yamen, we heard that all the tributes that the common people had placed at the entrance had disappeared. Now all the common people are going to the prefect to solve the case, saying that it was a celebration. There must be ghosts in the state."
"Yeah, there are a lot of people gathered at the gate of the yamen, all of them lost their tribute, saying that it was a disaster, it was a ghost, and something big will happen!" Wei Zheng added quickly.
Lin Shu also picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat: "If there is a ghost, just catch it. Gyeongju is so big,There are tens of thousands of portals, and all of them lost their tribute overnight. If it was me, I thought it was a ghost asking for it. "
" Does Mr. Su think there are ghosts? Yan Yujin was a little surprised.
Lin Shu smiled slightly: "Did this alarm the Chang Lin Jun who was defending the city?
Wei Zheng hurriedly shook his head: "Not yet, I heard that this matter is temporarily handled by the prefectural government." There was no movement from Chang Lin Jun. "
" That's good, if Chang Lin Jun is disturbed, I'll have an eye on this matter. "Lin Shu looked at Gong Yu and Nie Feng who were bringing bowls and chopsticks in the distance, and quickly motioned everyone to sit down: "Come on, let's finish our breakfast first, and then go to buy furniture and tributes, let's first Just stand by and watch. Tonight, Big Brother Wei can go out with Feiliu , maybe there will be new discoveries. "
" Sovereign, this is the glutinous dumplings I made by myself. Gong Yu took a bowl from Nie Feng's big dinner plate and handed it to Lin Shu.
"Everyone has a share, come on, let's eat together." Gong Yu, today you go out to find two cooks, preferably older ones. You won't have to work anymore. Yujin, do you think it's okay? "Lin Shu deliberately looked at Yan Yujin.
"Oh, then you have to find someone to cook!" I'll go look for it early after eating, and Miss Gong Yu will be in the yard. Yan Yujin reacted immediately. In the
garrison camp, Li Yunqiong also learned that the tribute disappeared overnight. Since this matter is a criminal case, Chang Lin Jun is not easy to intervene, so he has to remind everyone to spend more time on patrol. Just pay attention. After a busy day at
, Lin Shu personally hung the door plaque on the far door, then took a few steps back and stared: "Weifu, Big Brother Wei, this house is named after you, you won't mind.
Wei Zheng stood aside with a silly smile: "Of course I'm happy!" I understand what the sovereign means. "
" Okay, the whole yard is almost done, so I can basically plant some flowers and plants in the future. Let's have a few drinks tonight and celebrate! "Lin Shu has not been this happy for a long time.
Standing in the courtyard, Nie Feng did not dare to go out. He was afraid that passersby passing by the courtyard would be frightened by his appearance, so he had to watch Lin Shu and the others giggling together from a distance.
Nightfall When it came, Gyeongju was brightly lit again, and it became silent again after midnight.
Wei Zheng and Fei Liu hid on a roof, counting the stars in the sky and waiting patiently.
In the middle of the night, the streets of Gyeongju There appeared a lot of white figures, and then walked to the door of the resident, slapped the door constantly with his hands and whispered: "Return my tribute, return my tribute." After saying that, he jumped into the courtyard of the common people and floated over. Drift away.
Then there was a sound of panic, and then all the white figures disappeared into the twilight.
