Chapter 12 Someone incites provocation
When people are extremely tired, they either don't want to move or are emotionally excited.

As soon as the man's words came out, they instantly resonated with many people around him. Countless eyes looked at the Xie family, many of them with great longing.

"Who says it's not the case? I also heard that they have been praying for many years. Why doesn't God appear after such a rumor?"

"When I was in prison, I heard their jailer say that before the Xie family members were taken to prison, his family god had sent rain to extinguish the fire. Why doesn't it work now?"

Someone got up after hearing the sound, grabbed the man and asked, "Really?"

The person next to him nodded, but he wasn't sure yet, "I've heard a little bit about it, and it seems like he's had a spiritual experience."

Some people sitting around the Xie family heard the discussion on the other side and turned to look at the Xie family.

Some people even climbed directly to Mrs. Xie and kowtowed and prayed, "Mrs. Xie, please do a good job. I beg the Xie family gods to show their power and bring some rain!"

One begged, and two came to beg. It was not a big crowd, and a group of people gathered around the Xie family in the middle and kowtowed to pray for rain.

Mrs. Xie frowned and looked at the restless prisoners around her.

Fortunately, the men of the Xie family stood up and surrounded the outer circle as soon as they approached to prevent these people from unexpected accidents. Several female members of the Xie family hugged the children and stood close together, looking around with vigilant eyes.

Xie Yuchuan slowly sat up from his half-lying position and looked sharply at the man who had just spoken to confuse everyone.

The man's forehead was high, his cheeks were slender, and his shrewd and calculating eyes met Xie Yuchuan's ice-like eyes. He couldn't help but wince, but after a while he felt that what he said was not wrong, so he avoided his eyes and coughed heavily. Twice, he held his neck and refused to give up.

"Who doesn't know that your Xie family brags about worshiping gods in your home all day long, and you don't know if it's true or not? You can bluff people so much, why don't you come out and show yourself, don't you think?"

"that is!"

When the officials who were undergoing renovations saw the chaos here, more than a dozen people came over with whips.

As soon as the whip was struck, no matter who it hit, the leader would yell loudly: "What are you making a fuss about! If you don't want to rest, just get out of here and stand! You've gone against you guys."

The prisoner who was whipped screamed, "Master Cha, it has nothing to do with me! It's them! They are begging the gods of the Xie family for rain!"

"What? Praying for rain?" The yamen servant thought he heard wrongly.

The man who started the trouble pointed at the Xie family in the middle and said loudly: "Don't they say that the Xie family has a family god? Since it is so clever, isn't it difficult to make rain for everyone? You gentlemen don't have to work so hard."

Xie Yuchuan sneered, "Idiot."

Several government officials who had just exchanged water for a lot of benefits, when they heard this, they were stunned for a moment and immediately became angry. They whipped the whip hard and staggered the blind prisoner.

"Have we worked hard, why should you, you piece of shit, worry about us?!"

The colleagues next to him also walked towards the prisoners who were kneeling on both sides and cursed: "The Xie family has a god, stop talking nonsense here and go back and sit down!" "

"If you want to quench your thirst, go over there and find a way to drink. If you don't follow the rules, don't blame me for not having an eye for the whip in my hand!"

Bang bang! There were several cracks of whips on the ground.

The people who were surrounding the Xie family just now were so frightened that they dispersed like a tide in an instant.

The yamen servant in charge was surnamed Liu, and he had a single name. His family was a butcher, and he killed pigs until he was an adult. His own father had some bad luck, so he got close to the yamen chief clerk and gave him the back door. He shook his head and was replaced by a yamen official. , walking around the streets with a group of colleagues all day long, very impressive.

Because of his violent temper and great strength, he was able to restrain Xiaoxiao when he was on duty. Therefore, he was recommended by the superior for escorting him, and he got the job.

When Liu Behead was being escorted, he encountered several wealthy and down-to-earth gentry in the team. Not only that, but there were also three or four wealthy people who used to be wealthy in Beijing. Such people, if they showed anything, they would be able to work as low-level errands. of people for more than half their lives.

Liu Qian knew it very well, and he was not in a hurry. It was growing on the road.

What a god from the Xie family, it’s all nonsense! He looked coldly at the Xie family and sneered in his heart. If the Xie family had to be protected by gods, how could a group of old and young be in such a miserable state?
He didn't believe it.

After shocking the prisoners, when he went back, he happened to bump into some of the envoys Xiong Jiushan who were returning.

The old government servant next to Xiong Jiushan asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Qian replied: "A few prisoners were fooling around without knowing whether to live or die. They went to kowtow in front of the Xie family prisoners to pray for rain, but they were driven back by the villains."

"Is nothing wrong?" Xiong Jiushan heard the words "Xie family" and felt dizzy.

"It's okay! If you don't obey, you can be whipped a few times and you'll be honest." Liu Chang said nonchalantly.

Xiong Jiushan frowned and left without saying anything.

Liu Zhan didn't quite understand, so he grabbed the old government officer from behind and said, "Boss, are you angry? Did I say something wrong?"

The old government officer shook his head, "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you. Just go back to work and keep an eye on him. Don't cause trouble just after leaving the city."

"As long as I, Liu Zai, am here, boss, don't worry!"

The twenty-odd members of Xie's family were resting well, but suddenly they were surrounded by a group of prisoners and started to attack. All their drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and everyone was alert and alert.

At some point, Xie Wuying took Zhang Dayi and her old mother to the side of Xie's house.

Although the commotion just now was suppressed by the scolding from the officials, the way many people in the crowd looked at the Xie family was completely different from before.

Some were doubtful, and some were sad and resentful. The man who started the trouble held his whip wound and hissed for a long time.

"I see, with evil people like the Xie family here, none of us can make it to the north alive."

This sentence aroused the resentment of many people.

Unconsciously, the prisoners who were sitting next to Xie's family moved away.

But he still refused to give up and continued to ask: "Does your Xie family really have a family god?"

No one in the Xie family answered, their faces gloomy.

These words pierced the hearts of the Xie family. The Xie family used the god's throne to find a way to survive. Since the god's throne was handed over, the Xie family's gods have never appeared again, nor have they performed any miracles.

The heavy rains that appeared out of thin air over the ancestral hall of the Protector's Mansion seemed like a dream.

The family god probably gave up on them.

Everyone in the Xie family pursed their lips and said nothing. Xie Yuchuan looked at his family and saw his grandmother's face was gloomy. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at each other coldly.

"What advice do you have?"

Xie Yuchuan's eagle eyes were like torches. When he narrowed his eyes slightly to look at people, it was like a sharp arrow piercing people's hearts.

The man was shocked by his gaze and murmured a few times, not daring to ask any more questions.

Xie Yuchuan's cold eyes glanced around, and many of them shrank back.

Madam Xie didn't know what she was thinking of, and sighed, with a look of exhaustion on her face.

Xie Yuchuan could tell at a glance where his grandmother's heart was. He touched the things on his body that Tu Hua had given him. He was thinking about when it would be more appropriate to explain the matter of the family god to his family when he suddenly heard the joyful voice of the family god:
"Tu Hua: Thank God! The door is finally open!"
