Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 235 Sword Qi and Xiao Xin
(22)

The parental official who has neglected his duty for many years took office again. Although he was not riding a tall horse, but an old and lame donkey, and the boy who led the horse was as old as him, but as soon as he put on the official After walking back into the crowd, his authority to enforce the law is still there.

If the people of Hongye Town want to restore law and order, expel ignorance and barbarism, and prevent the poor from being bullied, they must let the parental judge who has been suspended for many years return to his judge's seat.

Therefore, no matter how much the parents and officials do not want to offend the Taiping Dao, it will be difficult to escape the public opinion that has lost its shackles.

On the day of the trial, several village braves walked ahead with sticks to clear the way, and escorted the old man riding a donkey behind him to the place where the execution was going to take place.

Many young people, or those who have not lived in Hongye Town for a long time, may have never heard of a parent officer in this town, let alone the name of the old man in the official mansion in front of him.

But they can all notice that the parents are too old to be human, with a clean face that can only be obtained after living in seclusion for many years, an extremely thin body, and a set of official uniforms that have long been moldy in a damp corner. people.But when faced with hundreds of people flocking to the streets, he seemed unable to restrain the emotions he had accumulated for many years, and was infected by that surge of enthusiasm.

With tears in his eyes, he pushed away the support of the servants beside him, walked onto the gallows alone, straightened his back, held a piece of paper in his hand that had been drafted in advance, and clearly described the crimes committed by Taiping Dao word by word. crimes made public.

Behind every crime is the blood of several generations, so that every time the parental officer asked Lei Heng, "Do you plead guilty?", he almost shouted out the words in a hoarse voice and extremely annoyed.

Lei Heng, who hung on the gallows all day and night, didn't want to answer anything at first, but under the call of the stick, he quickly announced one by one, and at the same time kept telling others, which wealthy businessman in the town was secretly funding, The sharecroppers secretly sold other people's children.

Every time Kaiyangzi Lei Heng wanted to excuse himself, he was greeted with more laughter and cursing. He had never experienced such humiliation in his life, but after a while, he finally couldn't bear his temper, raised his chin, and felt ashamed He laughed wildly at the crowd around him, and then scolded: "You lowly people, what I regret most now, Yangzi Lei Heng, is that I couldn't make all of you into pills, hahaha, don't think you can do it now! Stand on my head and act recklessly, and everything will be fine in the future!"

After saying this, everyone under the gallows was silent for a moment.After a while, I vaguely heard someone discussing in detail, "What should we do if the next Taipingdao sub-ruler arrives?"

Only then did Lei Heng realize that his dying struggle just now had an effect.Just as he was about to show a smile about to win, he suddenly saw a familiar swordsman among the crowd in front of him. He also showed a similar smile, then turned and left.

"Why, isn't he afraid of Taiping Dao?" Lei Heng was just thinking, but someone threw a locust stone and blinded one of his eyes.

A voice came from the silent crowd: "We are afraid of what he will do. Daoyi is on our side. As long as we are united like today, why should we be afraid of mobs like Taipingdao!"

As soon as the words fell, another angry voice sounded.The third, the fourth, the fifth, followed by more and more.Everyone gradually reached a consensus in the panic, shouting in unison: "Hang him, hang him, hang him!"

Su Qing, who was hiding in the crowd, did not forget to mobilize the people around him, and threw stones on the gallows together to relieve his anger. When the momentum was as strong as before, he followed the footsteps of the swordsman and left quietly.

Hiding merit and fame so deeply is just in line with their wishes.

who are they?They are wandering on the edge of civilized society, sometimes supporting morality, sometimes killing themselves for benevolence; they are not saints and gentlemen, because of this, they can't even stand in front of everyone justifiably; they come and go without a trace, disappear without a trace, and have no plans for their own future , but to do things for others.

Now, they are on their way home again.

The luggage and horses had already been prepared, and Bai Feng and Murong Yan led the horses slowly to the entrance of the Red Leaf Valley, still waiting for news from the bandit Su Qing.Tao Wuyong beside him borrowed an open carriage for pulling goods from an old friend, lay bored in the empty space behind the cart, and said to the accompanying boy who was driving in front of him: "Boy, do you want to go with me?" To practice medicine, one must first agree to one thing.”

"Mr. Tao, please do as you please!" This young man was handsome and upright, like a good material.

"One cannot forget one's roots! After you finish your studies, you can't leave the people in your hometown alone and go out of the valley to have a good time!"

"Follow Mr. Tao's instruction!"

"Okay, what's your name?"

"My name is He Zhong, Mr. Tao, I have said it three or four times just now, my name is He Zhong!"

Tao Wuyong was drowsy, and lazily recalled: "Is that so...the old man can't remember, I will call you Zhonger from now on..."

The four of them moved forward at an extremely slow speed, but they couldn't wait for Su Qing's news.Therefore, Bai Feng and Murong Yan decided to stay by the lake where they rested for a while.

But only a few days later, the weather is even cooler.Murong Yan was wearing a big off-white cloak given by people from Hongye Town, took another one from the horse, handed it to Bai Feng, and said: "Look at the few days in this valley, it seems like several months have passed in a daze. The off-white cloak is a gift from the people of Hongye Town, originally they were going to send some money and silver jewelry, but I only need two clothes to keep out the cold."

"I'm not cold, pass the clothes to Mr. Tao." After returning, Bai Feng walked to the lake in the distance to draw water, and then climbed up to look at the situation in Hongye Town.

Seeing that Bai Feng was still restless, Murong Yan raised her head and shouted while guarding the horse, "Brother Feng, are you worried about Young Master Su?"

"He said he wanted to see Kai Yangzi die with his own eyes, so he asked me to take you out of the town first." Bai Feng replied: "This guy, why are you dawdling. Let's light a fire in the camp and rest for now! "

After hearing this, Murong Yan immediately called out to the boy guarding the carriage: "Young Master He, can you help me light a fire?"

"My lord saint, just give me orders, the villain He Zhong will never complain!" He Zhong spoke as crisply as he did things, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately planned to burrow into the bushes alone to gather firewood.

Seeing him respecting herself so much, Murong Yan felt a little ashamed, because she knew that she had done nothing for Hongye Town, "I...I am not a saint. Mr. He, you can treat me as a senior sister, after all, I used to practice medicine with Mr. Tao.”

"But, my lord saint! Everyone has seen the wound on your forehead, like a fairy art, it disappeared in an instant! And the words of Taoist Lei Heng... How can a villain be so high!"

"How should I put it... the title of Saintess is really unbearable." Facing the iron-clad facts, Murong Yan couldn't get rid of the title of Saintess for a while, so she had to say to the other party intimidatingly: "I don't know what to do." How to explain, anyway, if you call me Lady Saint again, I will let Mr. Tao drive you away!"

"Alright then, Senior Sister, Junior Brother, I'll go collect firewood first..."

He Zhong burrowed into the woods in great doubt, looking very aggrieved, maybe he thought that he had accidentally provoked the Holy Maiden, and was secretly blaming himself.

All in all, not long after this kid went out, the sounds of chasing and fighting came from the bushes.Among them, He Zhong's voice was the most obvious, like a loud bell, piercing the tranquility: "My lord, run away!"
