Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 126
(43)

In just a few short moments that covered the sky and the sun, the situation changed drastically.

The original heat was replaced by infinite coolness; the original joy was also replaced by infinite sorrow.

Faced with all kinds of doubts from the people of Xiahe Town, Sima Tu could only choose to remain silent, pretending to be profound, and staring at the raging fire amidst the thunder and lightning.Maybe, at this time, he was secretly gnashing his teeth, making up his mind to accomplish what?
The believers don't care about so many grievances and hatreds. If Taipingdao can't give them what they want, there is no need to continue serving.In the end, people only believe in the gods who can help them.

At first, the voice of doubt was weak, but as the rain gradually intensified, it has developed into a voice of clear opposition.Maybe it's because among the believers, there are originally not pious believers mixed in.Only when they are at the end of the road will they regard the way of peace as the truth to satisfy their appetites.

In Xiahe Town, where the plague is ravaging, those who survive can't protect themselves, because no one knows when and where the plague will be associated with them.

Therefore, some people with keen senses, seeing the evacuated officers and soldiers returning again and pointing their guns at the Taiping Taoists, immediately came to their senses.

"There's no such thing as 'Song Wuji', look at the burning clothes in front of Lord E! The so-called inextinguishable fire is just a 'trick' that everyone can learn."

"In this way, the fire in the Zhangjia Pharmacy was indeed deliberately caused by someone!"

"Who is so cruel? The old mother at home is bedridden all day long, just waiting for Doctor Zhang's medicine to save her life!"

People began to throw all kinds of sarcastic questions to Taipingdao, all in all, none of these questions could be answered by Taipingdao.

In the rain, the short-lived laughter and laughter disappeared in an instant.Instead, there were thick and thin rain clouds and shadows, and everyone's expression became dignified, as gloomy as the black sun.

A leading soldier stepped forward and said a few words to Sima Tu, who agreed calmly, and immediately led the men on the road.Those believers naturally followed suit, and everyone wanted a statement with peace of mind.

And the spectators, including E Bing, also left.As for where they are going, it is naturally the so-called land of judgment.

The small yamen in Xiahe Township did not celebrate the rain for long before they received E Binghuan's letterhead.The letter asked the town officials to prepare for the public trial.

Not long after the letter was received, the people of the village began to gather outside the yamen for unknown reasons, as if they knew in advance that there would be a trial coming, and came in the rainstorm.What they said to each other made the originally vacant Yamen of Xiahe Town lively.

That is to say, not long after the rainstorm arrived, hundreds of people gathered in this square inch of land.The leader seemed to have dealt with the officials of the yamen frequently, and he stopped and chatted quite freely.If you take a closer look, you can recognize that it is Xiaohu from the Zhang Family Pharmacy.

Perhaps it was because the pharmacy was inseparable from the wind, cold, humidity and heat on weekdays, so Xiaohu gradually became very acquainted with the people in Xiahe Town.They can talk about everything, including the "Zhangjia Pharmacy Arson Case" that will be heard next.

Xiaohu seemed to be giving advance notice to them, officials in the government, bragging almost brazenly about how he would be sure to overwhelm that presumptuous person in Taipingdao.

When he was young, E Binghuan and others came one after another.Even if they were escorted by a special person, their clothes would still be soaked by the rain.Therefore, after E Bing finished changing the official government, the public trial was well prepared.

The people in the village looked outside the yamen, and saw Zhang Yi, Bai Feng, Zhao Kuo, E Feiying, and Murong Yan standing on the left hand side. E Bing was still sitting in the middle of the hall, and the town official, Mr. Li, assisted him.However, due to the delay in seeing the suspects in the arson incident, everyone waited for a long time.

About half a stick of incense passed, the rain still did not stop, and seeing that the person under trial had not yet arrived, E Bing could not wait to give the order to send someone to Taipingdao to fetch him.Unexpectedly, as soon as the order was issued, a Taoist who was soaked in rain came outside the yamen.Immediately following the Taoist came in was Sima Tu, escorted by several sword-wielding Taoists, and dozens of believers accompanying him.

Compared with Sima Tu, who was dignified and solemn, the Taoist whose clothes were soaked was particularly panicked.I saw that Taoist walking in front, his steps were chaotic, he looked like a drunk.With his head retracted to his chest, his body leaning forward, he trotted into the courtroom, and kept calling the onlookers, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

When crossing the threshold, if he didn't pay attention, the Taoist fell straight to the ground and broke his nose.Zhang Yi and others sitting next to him saw this, and Bai Feng and E Feiying quickly recognized this Taoist as the frog-faced Taoist, but they didn't know why he, who was revered as a master by Taoists, fell into such a situation.

Frog-faced Taoist came to E Binghuan, knelt down immediately, kowtowed a few times, and repeatedly said: "My lord, my lord, the villain is convicted! The villain is convicted!"

"The case has not yet started trial, what crime do you know?" E Bing was still so puzzled, and then saw Sima Tu from Yamen coming, and waved for him to seat him opposite Zhang Yi and the others.

"Report to my lord, the fire in Zhang's pharmacy was... set by a villain!" Frog-faced Taoist said, bleeding from his broken nose, which made him howl again and again in fright.

After hearing this, the believers in the village were in an uproar, swearing angrily, and only asked E Bing to be severely punished.

"You guys are so bold! Do you know that the emperor sent E to Xiahe Town to cure the plague, but now you set fire to destroy important medical resources, isn't that tantamount to fighting against the emperor!" E Bing was still angry The gavel before shooting the case, said: "Taiping Road was set on fire, why?"

The frog-faced Taoist trembled, looked in Sima Tu's direction, and said: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with the Dao of Peace, it's all done by a villain alone! The villain and Zhang Yi have had a long-standing grievance, and they have thought of some strategies To make things difficult for Dr. Zhang, he bought some local ruffians, threw a special fire bag into the warehouse of the Zhang Family Pharmacy and ignited it, and finally caused an unforgivable big mistake!"

"Is the 'huozhezi' you mentioned in your mouth like this?" E Bing pointed in Zhang Yi's direction and said, "The fuel inside is mixed with 'eating stones'. As far as E knows, this is your Taiping A strange stone unique to Taoism. That’s where the inextinguishable fire comes from.”

The frog-faced Taoist nodded repeatedly.

"Then why did you suddenly surrender yourself? This is a serious crime of beheading!" E Bing scolded angrily, and then asked Zhang Yi: "Zhang Yi, you have a long-standing grudge against this Taoist, but is it true?"

"Responding to my lord, I have never met this Taoist, let alone have grievances." Zhang Yi cupped his hands and replied, "It's just that I, as the medical clinic of Xiahe Town, have always had left opinions with Taiping Dao."

"Lord E." Sima Tu bowed his hands in respect and said, "The guy kneeling in the hall is the rudder master of the Taiping Road sub-rudder, the so-called preacher. Because Zhang Dafu often criticizes and slanders the Taiping Dao, he, as the rudder master, naturally I am responsible for all the Taoists. It’s just that the arson this time is really intolerable, so I ask Lord E to punish me!”

After hearing this, the frog-faced Taoist begged Sima Tu again and again: "Tianshi, Tianshi, save me!"

"In this way, the witnesses' evidence is convincing, so there is no need for further trials in this case?" E Bing was still stroking his long beard, just about to deliver the verdict.Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi felt dissatisfied.

"Master E! According to your opinion, this is a crime that only punishes him?"

"The head of the sub-rudder has fully confessed his crimes, and Mr. Li has also recorded them. It stands to reason that he should make a closing statement?" Detain the frog-faced Taoist.

"How can it be! Just killing a small character is worthy of so many dead people?" Zhang Yi stood in the center from the side, cupped his hands and said, "Master E, please investigate this matter thoroughly, it must be inseparable from the Taiping Dao relation!"

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, the villagers who were hearing the trial couldn't help speaking out in support. What's more, they began to cry out that they or people they knew had been persecuted by the Taipingdao, and none of them had a good death.

"Hehehe..." Sima Tu sneered, stood up from his seat, stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Yi, bowed to E Bing and said, "Lord E, of course this matter cannot end here. Let me tell you one thing. Why do the villagers and Dr. Zhang oppose Taipingdao so much? All this is because of the arrival of one person, that is the rumored 'Xianbei Witch'!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help being surprised.

"The so-called 'Xianbei witches' are evil people who know how to seduce people's hearts. Before you know it, they can make you fascinated, and you don't know the north, south, east, and west! In the end, you even feel that suffering and suffering are extremely beautiful enjoyment..." Sima Tu turned to face the people in the Yakou, and continued to speak: "During the third western expedition with the emperor, Pindao once met a person, and almost fell into the way of 'him', so that until now, the poor I can't even forget him..."

"Mr. Sima, what do you mean?" E Bing asked thoughtfully before the case.

"Pindao thought that there might be a harmful 'Xianbei witch' hiding in the Zhang family pharmacy. And it happened that a month ago, the Fu family in the west had executed a blond 'Xianbei witch' with a double surname. Murong'..." After Sima Tu finished speaking, he turned to face Bai Feng, "So, the matter is far from over."

After Zhang Yi heard it, he scolded angrily: "You monster, what nonsense are you talking about! My lord, please look into it, Mrs. Murong is kind-hearted, and she often helps the pharmacy. How could she be the evil person he said!"

"This..." E Bing hesitated for a while, and then said: "Mr. Sima, after all, there is no basis for what you say. It is probably inappropriate to insult people's innocence like this."

"Pindao has a strategy, but you can know who is a 'witch' and who is not." Sima Tu looked at the several swordsmen accompanying him, and then said: "'Witches' usually practice demon magic, and their bodies are different from ordinary people. .If the skin is cut two or three inches with a sharp weapon, it can quickly return to its original shape in a short period of time, just like the original appearance. Please allow the poor to take measures."

After hearing about it, E Bing looked in the direction of his little daughter, unable to make a decision.Because he has always kept a respectful distance from such things, he is afraid of wronging good people, and also afraid of getting into trouble, this is the mentality of ordinary people.However, under the pressure of Sima Tu, Taipingdao was finally allowed to test.

Those two or three swordsmen drew their long swords and slowly approached Murong Yan, while Bai Feng and E Feiying stood in front of them, ready to fight at any time.It was Zhao Kuo who slipped away at some point, and it was Bai Feng who was planning to make a plan. He knew that he was defeated by Sima Tu's another poisonous plan, so he could only advance by retreating.

"Ying'er, Bai Shaoxia, get out of the way, both of you! Since you are all sure that Mr. Sima is talking nonsense, why don't you let the other party test your heart?" E Bing also saw that the youngest daughter was like his favorite successor, Speak out to persuade.

At this time, Sima Tu was not in a hurry, sat back on the chair, and said: "Master E, the noble daughter and young hero Bai, I am afraid that they have been deeply poisoned, but as long as the 'witch' is pulled out from the crowd, things will definitely be resolved." Congratulations."

Bai Feng made a stance ready to draw his sword to resist desperately, but he was still no match for the opponent's group of people encircling him. In the end, he was hit on the head by a guard who surrounded him and knocked him unconscious to the ground.E Feiying and Zhang Yi, who were not armed, were stopped aside and watched Murongyan being dragged into the middle of the courtroom to be ravaged by the long sword.

The Taoist first roughly scratched Murong Yan's sleeves, exposing her arms, then swung the long sword to cut, and a stream of blood flowed out immediately.

Everyone waited for Shaoqing, and then Sima Tu wiped off the blood stains himself, and the complete skin was presented in front of everyone.

"Now, the truth should come to light? Bai Shaoxia and Murong Yan are not brother and sister at all! He is just someone used by this 'witch'!" Sima Tu said triumphantly: "Master E, please send Bai Feng and 'Xianbei' How about taking the witches into prison, and then the poor Taoist will slowly educate them?"

Faced with such a real scene, E Binghuan had nothing to say, and ordered the young "brothers and sisters" to be taken to prison. Even though Murong Yan was still young, she was so frightened that she even forgot to shout.
