Chapter 40 Fanning the flames; Fulfillment!
And at this critical juncture, a lot of rumors started to spread in Dongmo Alley.
Some people spread rumors that Dongmo Lane has bad feng shui and is a place where evil gathers and hides evil spirits.
It was here that the highly respected official lived here a hundred years ago, which led to the decline of his descendants and their loss of glory.
Once this rumor spreads, it will stir up waves!
As a result, the residents living in Dongmo Lane are uneasy and anxious all day long.
If the evil spirits and ghosts in Dongmo Lane are not eliminated, the people here will never have peace.
The other side.
Sima Mansion has been bustling with people these past few days.
"Master Wu, you are on good terms with that fairy lady, do you know how she views this matter?"
"Is there really a ghost in Dongmo Lane?"
"..."
Wu Sima had a good relationship with Hu Xiangu, and most of the dignitaries in Qizhou had heard of it.
For this reason, all the prominent people living in Dongmo Lane came to see Wu Sima, hoping that he could ask Hu Xiangu to come forward and resolve the matter.
The ghostly haunting in Dongmo Lane came about out of the blue.
Wu Sima felt strange from the beginning and suspected that the matter had something to do with Hu Xiangu and others.
As a result, Hu Meier came to his house on the second day after the incident and told Wu Sima the whole story.
Knowing that it was Mrs. Hu who was fanning the flames behind the scenes, Wu Sima was delighted. This was a good opportunity to defeat the governor of Zhou, and he definitely could not miss it.
For this reason, he colluded with Sanhu to put on a good show.
"There are indeed ghosts in Dongmo Lane. This is true. The fairy lady said it herself."
Facing the crowd, Wu Sima deceived everyone with his words.
"Then can her old man be able to drive away ghosts?"
Someone asked with a sad look on his face.
"Alas..."
"The fairy girl also has more than enough ambition, but not enough power."
"Although she has some magic power, how can she be able to drive out all the five to six hundred households in Dongmo Lane by herself?"
Wu Sima had long expected that someone would ask such a question, so he prepared his words in advance, pretended to sigh, and spoke helplessly.
"What can we do?"
"Do we need to move out of Dongmo Lane?"
"..."
Knowing that Hu Xiangu was unable to do anything about it, everyone looked sad.
"Now, perhaps the only solution is to relocate."
"The Fairy Lady once said that Dongmo Lane is a dangerous place, with eight winds blowing together, fire and lightning. If you stay there for a long time, not only will your wealth be damaged, your career will be cut off, but your lifespan will also be reduced..."
This was what Wu Sima was waiting for. Seeing everyone's depressed expressions, he knew that he had no doubts about the fairy girl's words and was making alarmist remarks.
Sure enough.
After Wu Sima finished speaking, everyone on the field fell silent.
Many people even felt uneasy and had palpitations on their faces.
If it was said that Dongmo Alley was haunted before and it only disturbed people's peace, everyone would still be lucky.
But now it is life-threatening, how can we take it lightly?
"Everyone, since I have said this, it is better to make plans in advance."
In order to add more strength, Wu Sima spared no effort to threaten.
Upon hearing this, the face of the person who came immediately changed slightly.
They all got up, found an excuse, and left in a hurry.
Seeing that everyone was so frightened and uneasy, Wu Sima smiled with a smile on his face after everyone left.
Knowing that he had accomplished what the fairy told him...
Perhaps, within a few days, we can write a summary to impeach the governor of that week!
I felt a bad breath in my heart that day!
……
"Those three foxes couldn't hold themselves back after all, and the Fengxiang Mansion has been in a state of chaos these past few days..."
The other side.
Qizhou City God and Han Xiangzi knew the situation in Fengxiang Mansion these days.
I saw the Qizhou City God and Han Xiangzi speaking angrily, with a look of injustice.
"Fortunately, these three foxes still know how to restrain themselves and have not caused any harm to anyone."
"However, judging from Pindao's perspective, if the governor refused to surrender that week, casualties would be inevitable."
"Now let's see if the servant listened to what the poor man said that day?"
Hearing this, Han Xiangzi frowned and said.
"As soon as the wind of Governor Zhou rises, you can start making preparations..."
Hearing this, the Qizhou City God was convinced.
……
That night at the mass grave, Hu Meier was right.
She had predicted that within a few days, Governor Zhou would be in a state of despair.
In fact, since the ghost incident occurred in Dongmo Lane, Governor Zhou learned about it immediately.
In his opinion, Dongmo Lane has been peaceful for so many years, but something evil happened after he rejected Hu Xiangu's suggestion to build a fox temple here.
Therefore, Hu Xiangu and others are the most suspect.
But this is just the speculation of Governor Zhou, and he has no evidence.
Governor Zhou knew where Hu Xiangu and others lived. On the second day after the incident, he sent people to secretly monitor Hu Xiangu and others, but until now, everything remains the same.
There is nothing inappropriate.
But over the past few days, the evil spirits in Dongmo Lane have become more and more serious.
What’s the explanation for this?
Could it be that Hu Xiangu and others cast spells secretly?
Governor Zhou was pacing back and forth in his study, thinking hard, with many thoughts passing through his mind.
If this is the case, then he really has nothing to do!
After all, he doesn't know any magic.
How to compete with Hu Xiangu and others?
"Report!"
"For your information, Lord Governor, there have been a lot of guests at Sima's house recently, and most of them are from Dongmo Alley."
"My little inquiring revealed that Wu Sima used Hu Xiangu's words to completely confirm that Dongmo Lane is a dangerous place. The residents of Dongmo Lane are currently discussing the matter of relocation."
When the governor of Zhou was worried, suddenly a spy came in and knelt down to report.
Hearing this, Governor Zhou's face sank and he said angrily:
"How could Wu Sima, a dignified court official, be so ignorant of the rules and say such things to fool the people?"
After saying this, he slumped down on the chair and sighed bitterly:
"It seems that he has already colluded with Hu Xiangu and others, and is bound to take over Dongmo Lane..."
When things developed to this point, Governor Zhou suddenly felt that things were gradually getting out of his control.
If the five or six hundred households in Dongmo Lane are really relocated, he, the governor, will be responsible for lax governance and improper peace of mind.
By that time, Wu Sima will definitely see the opportunity and send the evidence to impeach him to the platform.
He is not worried about his career, the only thing he cares about is the people of this state.
If the real fox temple is built in Dongmo Lane, I wonder what trouble Hu Xiangu and others will have in Qizhou from now on?
In the end, only the people here will suffer.
When the governor of Qizhou was looking so gloomy, a servant secretly peeked outside the house.
Seeing the lonely and helpless figure sitting in front of the case, the servant struggled for a moment and finally entered the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a thud.
"Fu'an, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Governor Zhou was stunned and asked quickly.
After saying that, I wanted to step forward and help him up.
But the servant named Fu'an was very stubborn and refused to get up, crying:
"Prince...Prince, I'm guilty!"
"Fu'an, what are you talking about?"
"What's your crime?"
After saying this, the governor this week was confused and looked at him in surprise.
