Chapter two hundred and eighty confrontation between the two sides
There are so many ignorant people in the world.
When Zhao Jin saw the expressions of the two couples who were sacrificed alive, this was the first sentence that came to his mind.
They don't think it's cruel, but think it's natural.
Even though the victims who were sacrificed alive were afraid, they felt in their hearts that their death was deserved.
Xu You followed Zhao Jin's gaze and smiled, "Xuanpinghou, you want to save them, but ask the people here if they want you to save them?"
Xu You's words hit Zhao Jin's heart word by word, "Ask them if they want you to save them?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jin closed his eyes and said, "Do you want to live?"
Zhao Jin only asked this question.
The two pairs of men and women looked at each other. They didn't know that as long as they were sacrificed alive and the snow stopped, the entire Bianzhou City could be saved.
But who will save them?
After a long time, a woman whispered: "I, I want to live."
"Okay." Zhao Jin responded in a deep voice, staring at Xu You with burning eyes.
In fact, whether they want to live or not, whether they want to be rescued or not, Zhao Jin will save them.
It's not that Zhao Jin is nosy and has a good heart.
It is a living sacrifice. If there is one, there will be two. Once this is started, this trend will gradually spread.
When people are desperate, they will inevitably place their hope in ghosts and gods.
However, the head of the living sacrifice cannot be opened. Once the gap is opened, it will be difficult to plug it back.
Xu You's face darkened, "Marquis Xuanping, why do you bother meddling in other people's business?"
"Look at these people." Xu You raised his eyes and pointed to the people watching on one side, "They are waiting for this sacrifice, waiting for the snow to stop!"
"So, the way you pray for the snow to stop is to sacrifice living people to heaven and earth?" Zhao Jin asked loudly with a cold face.
The common people were stunned by Zhao Jin's shout. Immediately afterwards, many people said:
"Otherwise, what else can be done?"
"Yes! This is because the Imperial Master specially communicated with heaven and earth for us and sacrificed human beings. Marquis Xuanping, what you did is too much!"
Among the people, the voices criticizing Zhao Jin became louder and louder, and the crowd became more and more restless.
Takeda and others tensed up, "Master Hou."
There are even some government officials who have already withdrawn mentally.
"Master Marquis," Marquis Xuanping looked at Zhao Jin and said with a grin, "Now that you have offended the public, you want to continue?"
Saying that, Xu You walked towards Zhao Jin step by step, confident and confident.
"The changes in the Imperial Master are really great." Zhao Jin sneered.
Judging from Xu You's current expression and attitude, his premonition that day was indeed correct.
Xu You was obsessed with letting him choose to go home, but he had other motives behind it.
Xu You smiled, "People are always complicated, aren't they?"
"Tell me how to let these four people go." Zhao Jin walked over when Xu You stopped three feet in front of him.
After getting close to Xu You, Zhao Jin said: "You know in your heart that this living sacrifice may not be able to stop the snow."
"Of course this is not certain."
Xu You shook his head and sighed: "We have to see if the gods agree first."
Zhao Jin twitched his lips, "Are you really able to communicate with gods?"
Although Zhao Jin does not directly deny the existence of gods like in the past, Zhao Jin does not believe in Xu You's so-called ability to communicate with gods.
"What you said before that you could send me back was also a lie, right?"
"Master Hou," Xu You raised his eyebrows, "what you say must be based on evidence. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as these people believe it."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin's expression turned even colder.
Xu You then said loudly: "If the Marquis wants to save these four sacrifices, he should ask the people of Bianzhou City!"
"If we don't offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, I'm afraid the snow will never stop until then."
The fear and anger in the hearts of the people were instantly ignited. The people who originally only scolded Marquis Xuanping were about to rush forward to stop Zhao Jin.
Xu You winked at the soldiers who were blocking the people. The soldiers hesitated for a while, but after a while, they turned aside and let the people run towards Zhao Jin and others.
"Takeda, stop them." Zhao Jin stared at Xu You, but his expression suddenly calmed down.
Xu You's only way is to rely on the ignorance of the people and the support of His Majesty.
As long as he pulls out these two things, no matter how much Xu You jumps around, it will not help.
Zhao Jin turned around, looked at the angry people, and said loudly: "What kind of god do you think would give birth to the flesh and blood of the people?"
These horrifying words successfully made all the people stunned for a moment.
Takeda, who could only stop the people, breathed a sigh of relief.
They were too angry, and because of the large number of people, Takeda and others did not dare to hurt them. If the time was longer, they might not be able to stop these people.
"I have never heard that gods and Buddhas need human sacrifices and their flesh and blood."
"On the contrary, it is the evil god who would do such a thing, but..."
Zhao Jin's tone suddenly became sharp, "Can you expect the evil god to listen to your prayers?"
The people were speechless for a moment to refute, vaguely feeling that Zhao Jin's words might not be unreasonable.
Does the evil god care about their life or death?
All the people gradually became quiet, and Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It worked!
Since these people hoped that the gods and Buddhas could stop the snow, Zhao Jin used this to shake their concept of human sacrifice!
Xu You's expression has completely darkened now.
But Zhao Jin ignored him and continued: "Aren't you afraid that if you sacrifice a living person, you will incur the evil gods?"
The people were horrified, and no one attacked Zhao Jin again.
"Marquis Xuanping," Xu You gritted his teeth and said, "Pindao was ordered by His Majesty to be responsible for this sacrifice. Does it mean that Marquis Xuanping wants to disobey the order?"
Disobeying an order is punishable by death.
Xu You directly put a big hat on Zhao Jin's head.
"Oh," Zhao Jin tilted his head slightly, "National Master, since it is your Majesty's order, we just go to see your Majesty."
Xu You narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, Mr. Hou, it's better to think about how to explain it to His Majesty."
In response, Zhao Jin ignored Xu You at all and said to Takeda: "Put them all down."
"Then," Zhao Jin pondered for a moment, then looked at the government guards, "send them to the government office first. I'm afraid it's not safe to send them home."
The leading yamen guard stood up and raised his fist towards Zhao Jin, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we will definitely bring them back to the yamen safely."
He hesitated for a moment, then approached Zhao Jin and lowered his voice and said: "Master Marquis, you have to be careful. Your Majesty is a favorite and trusted national advisor, and... the imperial advisor is probably not a good person."
He saw the conversation between Imperial Master and Zhao Jin just now.
The other party clearly deliberately instigated the people, and later used His Majesty to suppress them.
