Chapter 992 Riding a tiger is difficult
Ma Xiangu asked, "What kind of magical powers are there?"
Du Fugong smiled faintly and said, "Since these people are infected with the plague, it is not difficult to prove who is the true god." He stroked his beard gently, "Evil cannot defeat the righteousness, the evil god will never be the opponent of the true god. The evil demons and monsters' ghost tricks are naturally vulnerable in front of the true god...!"
Fairy Ma stared at Du Fugong and asked, "You...what do you mean?"
"There are many patients who are infected with the plague because of the plague god outside the city." Du Fugong said: "Now, let someone bring a few patients from outside the city to see who is capable of cracking the plague god's tricks. Is the Governor sent by the Lord to save the people or the plague god you, Ma Xian Gu, just see if the Governor can break the plague god's tricks. As for you, Ma Xian Gu, if you really save the suffering, you can naturally crack the plague god's tricks...!" He raised his head and shouted to everyone around him: "Tell me, is this the truth?"
When the children of Xiguan were in the middle of the ranks, someone shouted: "That's true, who is a real god depends on whether he can withstand the tricks of cracking the plague god."
Someone in the crowd behind Ma Xiangu said loudly: "If the governor cannot crack the plague, what should he do?"
"It's easy to deal with." Chu Huan said lightly: "If this governor cannot deal with this plague, then as Ma Xiangu said, this governor is a plague god. The plague in Xiguan has arisen because of this governor. What should I do when it is dealt with at that time? I will listen to you, Ma Xiangu. Even if you take my life, this governor won't say a word."
"Okay!" someone behind Ma Xiangu immediately shouted, "That's it, let's go and find the patient to deliver it."
"Let's go." Old Master Su raised his hand and said, "Governor General used his life as a bet, so what should Ma Xian Gu use to bet? If the Governor General could crack the plague, what should Ma Xian Gu do? If you can't crack the plague, what should Ma Xian Gu do?"
The corners of Ma Xiangu's eyes twitched, his lips moved, but he did not dare to speak. The old man sneered: "Since the fairy doesn't want to say it, I rely on my seniority, how about giving the fairy a suggestion?"
Fairy Ma looked at the old man and asked, "What... what suggestions?"
"I remember many years ago, the fairy once recommended herself to treat the critical illness for the former Governor's concubine." The old man said slowly: "The fairy made a great vow at that time that if it could not be cured, you would jump off the top of Shuoquan City. I believe that no one who has heard of it will forget this."
Many people suddenly shouted in the crowd: "Remember, remember, Fairy Ma did make such an oath."
"Since that's the case, why don't the fairy bet this time?" said the old man: "The Governor is noble, but he still dares to use his life as a bet. Fairy Ma should not be willing to cherish his life, right?" He smiled coldly, "If you are really a fairy who saves the suffering, you will naturally not be afraid of losing. If you are afraid and dare not bet, you are guilty. If you are guilty, I think there is no need to compare this magical power. You can admit that you are an evil god and let the Governor deal with it..."
Many people suddenly thought that Jiang was still so hot. The old man forced Ma Xiangu to have no way out in just a few words, and it would be impossible to compare.
But more people were thinking in their hearts that the Governor seemed to be full of confidence, and even took the Governor's honor and dared to bet on his life. If they weren't really confident, they wouldn't have been like this.
Many people who followed Ma Xian Gu today were actually bewitched and didn't know the truth. It was just because Ma Xian Gu had shown many magical powers before. They really thought Ma Xian Gu was an amazing god and were very respectful of Ma Xian Gu. Ma Xian Gu said that the occurrence of the plague was caused by the arrival of the plague god, but most people believed it. Even Ma Xian Gu claimed that Chu Huan was the plague god, and everyone almost believed it.
However, Du Fugong's aggressive aura, coupled with Chu Huan's calmness and even dared to bet on his life, it really made everyone suspicious. Du Fugong claimed that Chu Huan was the true god and the fairy was the evil god. In addition, Chu Huan's calmness and confidence showed that many people were already a little skeptical.
Fairy Ma didn't know what to say for a moment, but Du Fu Gong had already stepped forward and approached two steps and said in a deep voice: "Don't the fairy dare not gamble?"
After all, the Fairy Ma is not a stupid person. He knows that if he doesn't gamble at this time, if he admits defeat, the awe of those believers for him will collapse in an instant, and Chu Huan's people will definitely do their best to beat him into an evil god and monster. If that is true, he will never have a good end today.
I am already in a difficult situation, and there is no way out except moving forward.
Fairy Ma gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely bring you, the plague god, back to your original form."
Du Fugong laughed and said in a deep voice: "Since the fairy is willing to bet, please go back to your temple now. Today, I will send someone to find the patient. The Governor and the Fairy each use two patients, each of whom, will use magical powers, which is limited to three days to see who can improve the patient's condition within three days... Of course, the fairy cannot leave the temple during these three days. After three days, if the Governor loses, you will be left to the fairy. If the fairy loses, please climb to the top of the city and jump from it!"
There was a commotion all over the place. Chu Huan carried his hands on his back, with a cold expression and said slowly: "I have just taken office. It was like a rebellion. But there was a reason for this matter today. I am generous and give this fairy a chance. After three days, I will find out. If anyone wants to surround the Governor's Office again within these three days, don't blame me for the Governor's Office. After three days, if I lose, I will not be able to control the Governor's Office. If I win, no one will be allowed to sway in front of the Governor's Office..."
Since the two sides had agreed, it was naturally difficult to get involved. Surrounded by a group of believers, Ma Xiangu left the Governor's Mansion. The seven surnameds of Xiguan saw the group of people leaving, and then they dispersed. Chu Huan had already come forward and bowed deeply to the old man, saying, "Old man, why are you here in person?"
The old man sighed: "This fairy Ma is very famous in Shuoquan. She has been in Shuoquan for many years. The government even paid money to build a temple for her, so there are many believers... If they were dealt with by officers and soldiers, they would probably cause more troubles...!"
Chu Huan knew the old man’s thoughts. The old man was obviously worried that Chu Huan would be helpless in the face of difficulties and could not suppress him with officers and soldiers. Therefore, he summoned people from the seven surnames of Xiguan to cheer. If there was a conflict, it would be only a conflict between the seven surnames of Xiguan and Ma Xiangu, and Chu Huan’s reputation could be preserved.
The people of the seven surnames of Xiguan gradually dispersed. Xuanyuan Shengcai, who was solemnly treated him there, saw that the crowd in front of the Governor's Mansion had retreated, so he led his troops back to the camp.
The old man was invited into the mansion by Chu Huan. After he sat down, the old man asked with a hint of worry: "Sir, do you really have a way to deal with the plague?"
In fact, he was really worried about this. Although Chu Huan had shown great confidence before, the plague was extraordinary. Before Chu Huan arrived, the plague began to spread. The government also noticed this. The magistrate Dong Shizhen had also organized people to deal with the plague. However, the epidemic was extraordinary. Although many doctors were mobilized, so far, Yuezhou had not come up with a prescription to deal with the plague.
The old man was not sure whether Chu Huan really had a way to deal with the plague, or was the calm just now, just dealing with the dilemma just now.
Chu Huan smiled and asked back, "Grandmaster, I don't know if I arranged someone when I discussed with you the night before yesterday..."
Before Chu Huan finished speaking, the old man nodded immediately and said, "Are you talking about Jiji grass? Don't worry, since you have promised, there will be no problem. Our families have sent a lot of people to collect Jiji grass everywhere... But this Jiji grass is everywhere in the northwest, especially at this time, there are many. Adults want to collect Jiji grass and have more hands. This... why is this?"
Chu Huan thought for a while and smiled, "I'm not hiding it from the old man, in fact, these sedge grass may be able to deal with this plague."
"Spiegelia? Plague?" The old man was a little surprised, "You mean Spiegelia can deal with plague, how is this possible?" Although he is old and knowledgeable, he never thought that Spiegelia can deal with plague.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I can't be completely sure now, but I'll see you soon."
The old man knew that Chu Huan was not convenient for the time being, so he didn't ask more questions and said, "Sir, the witch Ma came here today. It's probably because someone instructed me later. You must be careful."
"What the old man said is." Chu Huan said, "I also know that someone must be instructing him behind his back, otherwise a witch would not have such courage. However, regardless of whether this witch was ordered by others, she would be a disaster if she was not eliminated. "I paused and said, "It is not easy for such a person to do it directly. She has many believers. If she is forced, it may hit the mind of some people... Since she is pretending to be a god, we will start from here, first remove her fairy's cover, and wait until her clothes are taken off and then punish her, and there will be no trouble."
The old man nodded, Chu Huan seemed to think of something and asked, "Old man, what are the prices in Xiguan now?"
The old man immediately said, "It's too high, especially the necessities of daily necessities, which are even more expensive." He paused, sighed, and said, "This is nothing to do. The goods in Xiguan are transported from other places, and the costs have increased greatly. Moreover, the roads in Xiguan are damaged and the official roads have been destroyed. We must be wary of bandits robbing the road. If there is no high profit, no one will do business here. If you want goods from other places to continue to be supplied here, you can only hold them with high profits for the time being."
Chu Huan thought for a while and asked, "How is the situation in the rice and salt markets here?"
