Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2068 It rains heavily

Seeing that the people were refuting Wan Shufang one after another, Chen Changli's face darkened and he subconsciously protected Wan Shufang behind him.

"This is sheer nonsense. What does the rain from the sky have to do with that Taoist priest?" His face turned cold and he exuded an intimidating aura that startled the people.

Everyone knew the identities of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, so they curled their lips and said no more.

"Anyway, when the master comes, the rain will stop and the crops will be good." The man turned his head away, forced out these words, and ran away in the rain.

Seeing this, Chen Changli wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Wan Shufang, who gently shook her head: "Don't argue with him, it's a bit cold, let's go back first."

"Okay." After saying that, the two returned to the inn. It was not until they entered the room that Chen Changli spoke: "Those people were deceived badly. I don't believe that the Taoist priest can really control the way of heaven."

"This matter can only be resolved after seeing the Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple." Wan Shufang frowned and rubbed her eyebrows with a headache.

That day, both of them were worried. Soon, a night passed. Unexpectedly, when the Taoist priest appeared the next day, the rain in Yunfeng County really stopped!

It was very lively downstairs in the inn. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang heard the noise and opened the window to check. Seeing that the sky was clear outside, Wan Shufang's face changed: "Did it really stop? Is that Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple in the crowd?"

The two men looked downstairs. The street was crowded with people and the noise was huge. The people automatically lined up in two rows to welcome the Taoist priest down the mountain, shouting his name.

"Welcome Taoist Master Xu Zhu!"

"Welcome Taoist Master Xu Zhu!"

The voices of "welcoming Taoist Xu Zhu" echoed throughout the sky, and even the windows of the inn were shaken.

"Oh, what Taoist Master Xuzhu? I want to see who he is."

Chen Changli looked grimly as he and Wan Shufang looked out the window. On both sides of the street, the people were very excited, just like those brainless and fanatical fans in modern times...

Not long after, the Taoist priest appeared in sight, with a kind smile on his face, enjoying everyone's attention. When things had fermented to a certain extent, he waved his hand and asked the people to calm down.

"I came down from the mountain of Qingfeng Temple for the sake of people's livelihood. Don't worry, I am willing to protect you all. However, this protection technique destroys cause and effect, which is always against the way of heaven."

"If the temple doesn't have the protection of incense money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward." After saying this, Xu Zhu's face showed embarrassment and hesitation, as if he was thinking about whether to take a risk for the people.

Looking at the Taoist's actions, Wan Shufang frowned: "He is trying to induce everyone to donate money for incense."

"I knew he was a liar, but these people seemed to trust him."

As soon as Chen Changli finished speaking, the people below took out their wallets and showed off their willingness to donate money for the Qingfeng Temple. Seeing this, the two men looked at each other in surprise.

They didn't want the people to be cheated, so they closed the windows, hurried downstairs, and when they squeezed into the crowd, many people had already put the silver change in their purses to the Taoist priest.

Seeing this scene, Wan Shufang's eyes narrowed, and she took a step forward and met the Taoist's eyes.

"Stop it, why are you lying?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Xu Zhu glanced at Wan Shufang with a half-smile and pushed the purse back: "If you don't believe me, then I will go back to Qingfeng Temple. It's just that the rain here is expected to continue for a while."

Xu Zhu looked up at the sky, sighed softly, stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, the people suddenly became anxious and hurriedly knelt down to beg.

"Master, please don't leave. If you leave, our crops will really be ruined."

"Yes, yes, the fields are flooded."

"If it rains again, we won't be able to afford food at home."

"Oh, you don't believe it?" Xu Zhu said, raising his eyebrows and looking at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. The people instantly understood what he meant and all looked at the two of them angrily.

Facing the angry gazes of the people, Chen Changli frowned and became alert all of a sudden, worried that the people would get emotional and get Wan Shufang hurt.

"He is a liar. He is trying to cheat you out of your money. Rain is a natural state and cannot be changed by humans..."

Wan Shufang tried to reason with the people, but they stood up angrily, approached the two, and interrupted her: "What nonsense are you two talking about? Taoist Master Xuzhu is dedicated to the people, and you are just attacking him like this!"

"Don't think you are great just because you are an official. You are not allowed to be disrespectful to Taoist Master Xu Zhu."

"you…"

The people were talking at once, leaving the two men no chance to speak at all.

Seeing this, Xu Zhu smiled with satisfaction, pretending to be innocent, and stared at Wan Shufang: "It doesn't matter if I am misunderstood, but I can't let you, a monster, cause trouble here."

He pointed at Wan Shufang and called her "monster", causing the people to subconsciously step back and look at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang in fear.

The people retreated, Xu Zhu saw it and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this evildoer will only affect the fortune of Yunfeng County, and has no ability to hurt anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people felt relieved and returned to their ferocious appearance.

"I see. No wonder everything has gone wrong for us since they came."

"Get them out. Get them out."

"Monster, get out of Yunfeng County!"

Under Xu Zhu's intentional or unintentional instigation, the people wanted to besiege Wan Shufang. The two were trapped and could not get out at all.

At the critical moment, An Yi arrived with his secret guards, drew his sword, and dispersed the people.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here." An Yi looked at everyone coldly, his sword shining coldly, and the people hurriedly retreated.

They were all ordinary people, afraid of being hurt, so they could only watch An Yi walk to Chen Changli.

"Master, Madam, I will escort you away."

"it is good."

Chen Changli nodded, took Wan Shufang's hand, and left under the angry gazes of the people. When they returned to the inn, Wan Shufang was so angry that she couldn't help but throw her outer robe.

"Xu Zhu has gone too far. He actually deliberately provoked a fight. Chen Changli, do you think those people are stupid? They can't even see such an obvious scam."

Wan Shufang felt upset when she thought about being called a monster.

"Shufang, don't be afraid. I'm here and won't let them hurt you."

Chen Changli held her in his arms, soothing her softly, his eyes swept towards An Yi, who immediately clasped his hands together and respectfully replied, "Master, I have already found out everything. Xu Zhu will hold a memorial service tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang's eyes flickered and she lowered her head in thought. I don't know what she was thinking about, but her expression was serious.

"We can't let Xu Zhu get away with it here. An Yi, take the secret guards to investigate and get evidence of his deception. Tomorrow, we will expose his true face."

At tomorrow's memorial service, Xu Zhu would definitely deceive more people, and she really couldn't bear it.
