Chapter 30 The Power of Superstition

Zhu Cheng looked around and there was no other tenant except his confidant. He walked up and kicked Qiu Tianshi, saying, "A Jian has cried for you, so why don't you get up with me quickly."

As soon as he turned over, he climbed up and said with a smile: "Oh, the emperor's younger brother has shed tears for the villain. What a blessing in his life?"

Zhu Youjian was surprised and happy and said, "Aren't you dead? Why are you alive again?"

Qiuqiu said flatteringly: "How dare I die if Lord Zhu doesn't let me die?"

As soon as he strobes the ball, the arrow fell off his body. Zhu You checked and saw that the arrow had no arrows. Not only did it have no arrows, but there was also a flat magnet in front of it.

Zhu Youjian learned the science class taught by Zhu Cheng and knew that magnets have the characteristics of repulsing each other and attracting each other from each other. He immediately stepped forward and reached out to the ball's arms to touch it. As a result, he not only found a magnet, but also found a bloody small bag.

Zhu Youjian threw the dirty little bag on the ground with disgust and said, "It's so disgusting. What's this?"

Asked the fair, "This is a red ink bag. When the arrow was sucked by a magnet, I pinched the small bag and the red water flowed out, which was more like being injured by an arrow."

Zhu Cheng said: "Please go and change your clothes quickly. Don't let me get involved. A Jian, this is not a place to talk. Let's talk to the inner room."

Zhu Cheng turned around and said to Chen Guoqi: "Take a few Jinyiwei to build a fake grave bag, remember to bury a paper crane inside, tap it with red ink on the chest, erect a wooden monument in front, write it on the tomb of Qiu Tianshi."

Chen Guoqi took people to forge the tomb, and Zhu Cheng and his group entered the tent.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Cheng with admiration and said, "You are the ones who ask for the ball, you are teaching me. It's so amazing. How do you see that those lords set up life and death formations in the imperial village?"

Zhu Cheng lowered his voice and said, "There is no life-and-death formation at all."

Zhu Youjianqi said: "How is it possible? The Lord's manor clearly formed the word "death", and they formed a new word in the mansion in the capital. This should not be a coincidence."

Zhu Cheng smiled and said, "I promise the emperor that this is definitely not a coincidence, but my deliberate frame-up."

Zhu Cheng spread the map of the King's Royal Village on the table, pointed to the Lord's courtyard with his hand, and said, "A Jian, I drew it like this, and it was the word "fate" and it was the word "room". That is to say, you can write whatever words you want, just connect the locations of the Lords' building. Moreover, I also tampered with this map to make the word "death" more natural."

Zhu Youjian drew on the map with his finger for a long time and said, "Brother Cheng, this is really the case. How did you think of it?"

Zhu Cheng said: "This is called psychological suggestion. A Jian, when we see something as strange as it is, we often lean on the closest thing. For example, the mottled traces on the wall are either imagined as a horse or a person. But in fact, these traces are just slightly similar to things we are familiar with, and are complemented by our imagination. I asked the ball to connect the addresses on the map to use this principle."

Zhu Youjian nodded in a vague way, and then asked, "Why are tenants not doing everything well over the years? Doesn't this mean that the life and death formation has worked?"

Zhu Cheng said: "People spend their lives creating troubles and solving problems. They are as rich as emperors and as poor as beggars. They all have their own troubles. When the tenants learned that there was such a terrifying life and death formation in the imperial village, they would naturally blame the troubles that could not be solved on this formation."

Zhu Youjian asked again: "Why did you let Qi Tian pretend to be dead? If you let him live, wouldn't it be better to give advice?"

Zhu Cheng said: "The dead cannot speak. If Master Qiu is alive, the Lord will cause trouble in the future and will definitely let Master Qiu come to the court to testify. No one will believe his words when he is looking for the ball."

Hearing this, he cried and muttered: "I am quite handsome except for being unable to compare with Lord Zhu and Mr. Zhu."

"Go!" Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian both took out their legs and kicked the talkative guy out - compared with the appearance of asking for the ball, would they still live?

Zhu Cheng continued: "Also, it is said that if you leak the secret of heaven, you will be punished by heaven. Letting Master Qiu be assassinated in front of everyone can increase the credibility of Master Qiu's words."

Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Cheng, I really convinced you. You solved such a big problem so easily."

At night, he went to the Lord's Courtyard to check the returns of the loss of the Jinyiwei. The three dukes, thirteen marquises and eleven counts were razed to the ground. The British Duke Zhang Weixian suffered the least losses. He saw the opportunity and transferred all the personnel and property. The tenants destroyed only a few empty houses. The other lords had different losses. The biggest loss was Xu Xiyou, Duke Dingguo, who kept holding Zhu Chengzhe to scare away, so he did not transfer the property at all. When the tenants besieged the house, his guard injured a tenant, which completely ignited the anger of the tenants. They rushed into the house, beat people when they saw things, smashed them when they saw things, and injured countless concubines. Even Xu Ziguang's favorite concubine was beaten to death on the spot. It seemed that the power of superstition was really amazing. The red plum thief was a little helpless, and the house was broken by a group of farmers holding hoes.

The escaped guard went to Wanping County Government to report the case. Wanping County sent heavy troops to quell the riot and arrested all the tenants who caused trouble to the county government.

Zhu Youjian said: "Brother Cheng, go and save the tenants."

Zhu Cheng said: "Don't worry, let them suffer more in the county government. Only when they go to save them will they be grateful and do their best to do their best to do their work for the imperial village."

The next morning, before dawn, Wu Huping came to report: "Mr. Zhu, the tenants surrounded the imperial village again."

Zhu Cheng was shocked. Didn’t the tenant be arrested and entered the county government? How could he appear at the gate of the imperial village? Did they escape from prison?

Zhu Cheng didn't dare to go out, so he climbed up the wall and looked at it, and couldn't help but curse: "Wu Huping, if you don't report it clearly next time, I will punish you to wash the socks of all the Jinyiwei."

It turned out that the people surrounding the imperial village were the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and women, probably the families of tenants who were arrested into the county government.

The guards opened the door and Zhu Cheng walked out of the courtyard.

The family members of the tenants knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying, "Please help me, Lord Zhu."

Zhu Chengming asked knowingly: "What happened? Do you want to give me such a great tribute?"

A bold woman said, "Yesterday, my husband smashed the house of Duke Dingguo and was captured by the magistrate of Wanping County. Although he deserves to be killed, he is the pillar of my family. If he is gone, my family will collapse. Please give us pity."

Everyone kowtowed again.

Zhu Cheng sighed: "Although I am a Jinyiwei Qianhu, I don't care about the security affairs in this place. Oh, I really can't help it."

After hearing this, everyone kowtowed even harder and kept saying, "Please show your compassion."

Zhu Cheng stomped his feet and said, "Stop, I will give up my face and I will go to Wanping County for you. No matter how much money or effort it takes, I will let your family come back safely. After all, you are from the Imperial Village, that is, my relatives."

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Zhu, for your life-saving grace, we will always remember it in our hearts. From now on, we will work hard to farm and repay you with a good harvest."

Zhu Youjian was secretly disappointed when he heard this, thinking: "Brother Cheng is amazing. If Brother Cheng had offered to rescue the arrested people yesterday, they might not be grateful, and they would think that the imperial village owed them, so it was a matter of course to save them. But after delaying for a night, they begged hard. Brother Cheng said the difficulty of saving people and reluctantly agreed to help, and then they felt grateful."

Zhu Youjian walked to Zhu Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, let me go to Wanping County with you. Apart from the capital, I have never been to any place."
