Yang Kaiguang looked at the handsome man in front, his voice trembling.
"Wei Chen was very happy when he learned that His Royal Highness Prince Prince would come to Gangu County to hold a rain-seeking ceremony, but Wei Chen was afraid that His Highness the Prince would not be able to ask for rain, and he would lose people's hearts, so he deliberately sought an expert. The master claimed to be a member of the Xuanmen and was proficient in the art of gossip. He told Weichen that if he wanted the rain to succeed, he had to be sincere, and the so-called sincerity was to offer enough sacrifices."
Luo Qinghan's eyes moved slightly: "Those children are sacrifices?"
"Yes, on the day His Royal Highness asks for rain, these children will be sacrificed to God."
Luo Qinghan's voice was cold: "Those are all human lives, you are ignoring human lives."
Yang Kaiguang hurriedly defended himself.
"His Royal Highness misunderstood, Wei Chen did not intend to kill, and after the rain-seeking ceremony, the children who were sacrificed would be sent home. No matter how maddened Wei Chen was, he would not kill all the children. "
Luo Qinghan asked in a deep voice: "Since it won't hurt the lives of those children, why do you use such a shameful method as kidnapping the children? You can tell the children's parents and family members directly."
Yang Kaiguang choked, and there was more cold sweat on his forehead.
Nie Changping pinched the back of his neck and asked in a negative way.
"It's this time, you still want to lie to us? I don't think you want this dog's life."
Yang Kaiguang was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide anything, and spit out everything he knew.
"It was the master who told Wei Chen that it is not easy to ask for rain, and the sacrifices must be carefully selected. Ordinary children can't do it, they must be children with water and between the ages of eight and twelve. Okay, the more sacrifices, the better. In order to collect as many children with water as possible, Wei Chen simply took back all the children between the ages of eight and twelve in the city, and sent them to the high school one by one. People are screened, and in the end, we will keep the children with water, and the other children will be sent home."
"Will the child you take as a sacrifice die in the end?"
Yang Kaiguang didn't dare to answer this question directly, he could only justify himself shiveringly.
"All this was instructed by the master. Wei Chen did as he said. Wei Chen is innocent. I beg His Royal Highness to spare Wei Chen!"
Luo Qinghan: "You said just now that the master claimed to be a member of the Xuanmen?"
Yang Kaiguang nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Who's his name? How did you find him?"
"His Taoist name is Lay Master Qianshan. He arrived in Gangu County a month ago and set up a stall in the county town, specializing in fortune-telling for people. Everyone said that he was extremely accurate in fortune-telling, and he was a truly capable master. After the minister heard about this, he ordered someone to invite him to the county government office, and asked him to give Weichen a calculation, but he really got it right. When Weichen saw that he was really capable, he asked him for advice. Things."
Nie Changping raised his head to look at the prince, and asked, "Your Highness, why don't I go and arrest that Taoist priest who pretends to be a ghost?"
Luo Qinghan nodded and agreed.
He also wanted to see the origin of the Qianshan layman who was regarded as an expert.
Nie Changping took the order to leave.
Since the county magistrate Yang was kidnapped, the entire county office was in a mess tonight, which made it easier for Nie Changping to move.
They sneaked into the county office quietly, found the layman Qianshan who was about to pack up and run away, knocked him unconscious, and took him out of the county office.
When Layman Qianshan woke up, he was already lying in the abandoned courtyard.
