The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 29 Feudal Superstition

Lu Zixuan was very excited [What's going on? The footsteps are approaching, but I don't know what's going on... I'm so awesome that I can even change the lyrics, haha]

【Here they come, here they come, oh my god, what kind of style is this? Taoist hat, monk robe, and Jiefang shoes on feet. Is there such a sect? 1, 2, 3… 8 people, is this the only authentic one? No, they are all people from the courtyard, including Jia Zhang’s big face and triangular eyes.

Mom, let’s go and have a look. There’s fun when Jia Zhang is around. Let’s go and join in the fun.]

Chen Ping followed without saying anything, because she wanted to see it too. When she saw Wu Guihua, she walked over and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean? There are so many people."

"The master is here to exorcise the evil spirits. Old Sun's grandson has been having a recurring fever. Mrs. Jia said there might be an evil spirit. Old Sun asked Mrs. Jia to invite an expert who can spit fire and wok in oil. He is a very capable man. I heard that it cost a lot of money," Wu Guihua muttered in Chen Ping's ear.

When Chen Ping heard that the child was in trouble, she also became anxious and asked, "Is it okay not to go to the hospital when you have a fever? There were people like this in our village before, and they were all arrested. They were all liars. I have seen them. Just like what you said, I would do it too.

The government has said it, so what is the reaction? People in the government will perform these things, they are all fake, do you city people still believe this?"

"Ah? It's fake? Didn't they say that the talisman paper would catch fire without fire? There's also the matter of summoning gods to possess one's body. I know a lot of things about that." Wu Guihua said in disbelief

"They are all fake. The government is arresting people like this. How do you know them? They are usually in the countryside. Haven't you seen the things they can do on the Tianqiao Bridge?" Chen Ping asked in confusion. Wu Guihua just shook his head.

"Sister Guihua, please watch them first. Don't let them leave. I'll be there soon and will definitely take them away." Chen Ping whispered to Wu Guihua, and immediately ran out of the yard with her son in her arms.

I jogged all the way to the street office, and luckily, no gatekeeper stopped me.

Whenever she saw someone, she would ask, "Where is Director Wang?" The person pointed and Chen Ping ran away. She arrived at the director's office door, knocked on the door and said loudly, "Director Wang, this is Chen Ping, are you in the room? I have something urgent to tell you."

Director Wang opened the door and was shocked to see Chen Ping sweating and panting. He thought, isn't Chen Ping usually indifferent to everything? What happened today?

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Come, go into the house and have a glass of water first," Director Wang said calmly.

"It's too late. A doctor who specializes in exorcism and treating illnesses has come to our hospital. It's obvious that something is wrong. Please send someone to check it out as soon as possible," Chen Ping said anxiously.

Director Wang said: "Isn't this normal? Many ordinary people don't want to go to the hospital for treatment, so they go to see a local doctor. Don't worry, it's their own business, there's nothing we can do about it."

Chen Ping asked in confusion: "Didn't you receive instructions from above? Even our villages have publicized this. This is feudal superstition. Don't you know?"

"Feudal superstition must be severely cracked down, but people are here to see a doctor, how can we control it?" Director Wang was also puzzled.

"This is the most harmful thing. It has spread all over our village. You should ask around. You really don't understand the policy. Why don't you ask around again? This is a big deal. We have already executed several people. They said they were murderers for money." Chen Ping said quickly.

Director Wang walked to the table half-believingly and picked up the phone. He then told Director Zhang about the current situation, and after listening to a few more words, his face changed drastically.

He immediately pulled Chen Ping out and said, "Xiao Chen, hurry up and take me to the scene. Director Zhang will send someone over right away."

"Everyone in the office, come out. There is an emergency now. Gather quickly," Director Wang shouted as he went out the door.

The gathering was quite quick, with about 20 people in total.

"In the courtyard we manage now, some people are practicing feudal superstition, using the excuse of seeing a doctor to make a fortune and even kill people for money.

Now we are calling everyone together. We are going to the scene with the police station comrades to arrest them and use them as negative examples to popularize the harm of feudal superstition to all factories, families and residents. Okay, the police station comrades are at the door, let's go together." Director Wang said loudly.

At the gate of the subdistrict office, they met up with the police station and rushed to the courtyard, heading straight to Old Sun's house in the backyard. The man stood in front of the bed, holding a whisk in his hand, muttering something, and waving the whisk after each sentence.

Then he took out a piece of red cloth from his bosom and tried to cover the water cup on the table. Chen Ping looked around and saw that no one wanted to stop him, so he immediately became anxious.

"Wait, that red cloth of yours is filled with incense ash, right? Open the cloth and take a look," Chen Ping said hurriedly. She was really afraid of letting her child drink the ash water.

The man didn't say anything, but just looked at Jia Zhang with contempt. Jia Zhang shouted: "Chen Ping, this is to cure a disease and save lives. If you delay the master from saving the child's life, the old Sun family will not let you go. Master, don't worry about her. She is just a neighbor. She can't control us."

"Can I control it? He used the excuse of curing illnesses and saving lives to vigorously promote feudal superstition, mislead people and affect social order. He took all the people he brought with him, including this female comrade.

Everyone in this family, come with us, and everyone else in the family, take the child to the hospital for treatment." Deputy Director Wu pointed at Jia Zhang.

"I don't accept it. Why are you arresting me? I am curing illnesses and saving lives. I am not promoting feudal superstition. I am a Taoist priest who cures illnesses and saves lives. You are arresting people indiscriminately like this. I will go to the Military Control Commission to sue you for abusing your power for personal gain, bullying the weak, and arresting people at will." The master resisted with all his might.

Deputy Director Wu was just reading from the script. How could he know whether it was a lie or not? The director asked him to cooperate with the street office to arrest the person.

At this time, he had no choice but to look at Director Wang. Director Wang was also in a dilemma. She didn't understand. Director Zhang only asked, "Don't you read the case report?" Then he said that he would arrange for someone to cooperate in arresting the person, and then hung up the phone. When he was at a loss, he suddenly looked at Chen Ping.

Well, here comes a bunch of white necks who know nothing.

"It seems that we didn't catch all of you in Changping," Chen Ping said as he walked forward.

The police station and the street office looked at Chen Ping as if they had seen a savior. Chen Ping felt more confident when she saw the master's eyes flash.

"What? Are you scared? It seems that you didn't suffer enough in the past. Tell me, how did you escape from prison, and how did you come to the Forty-Nine City? Who was the one who helped you?"

Chen Ping asked a series of questions again, with a strong aura and a strong sense of oppression. It was just mental oppression, don't get me wrong, Chen Ping didn't have the capital.

Chen Ping was secretly delighted. She didn't expect that what she learned from Mr. Wei would be so effective. Lu Zixuan also had a new respect for Chen Ping.

The master just lowered his head and said nothing. Jia Zhang spoke up at this time: "Chen Ping, what do you mean? You will suffer the consequences if you delay the child's treatment. Don't think you can scare people with just a few words. Then tell me what law did the master break?"
