If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 142
Zhao Benchen thought this was the most embarrassing scene, but he didn't expect that it was just an appetizer.

Ding Xiu had already arranged everything, including the scholars in the court, and already knew the truth of the entire case.

Therefore, this time in the court, you can only win, not lose!
"Master Zhao, I am going to sue Yuhe County Magistrate..."

"Ah?" Zhao Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Before Zhao Cheng came to his senses, the scholar said again: "As a respected person in the county, Magistrate Yuhe ignored the laws of the court and privately detained people in public places. He also abused lynchings and ignored the king's laws.

What's more, his son Liu Xiang relied on his power to not only insult the Bi family, but also poisoned and killed her husband Ge Da. In order to protect his son, Yu Zhixian found someone to give false testimony and framed the Bi family and Yang Naiwu..."

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but look shocked, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Do you have any evidence?"

After saying that, he glanced at Liu Xi subconsciously and found that Liu Xi's face was ashen, he was sweating coldly, and his body was shaking slightly. He looked like he was extremely frightened.

But Zhao Cheng was puzzled.

Even if it is true, Liu Xi shouldn't just sit back and wait for death, right?Why not say a word?
"Your Excellency, you can summon relevant witnesses to the court and you will know as soon as you ask them!"

Previously, the witnesses Liu Xi called included Wu Langzhong, the neighbor Wang Po, and the shopkeeper Qian who ran the drug store.

The previous confessions of these witnesses were all detrimental to Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai.

For example, shopkeeper Qian insisted that Yang Naiwu bought a lot of arsenic from him.

Now he went to court, but he complained loudly, saying that arsenic was a special drug. The store always bought very little goods, and the incoming and outgoing accounts were recorded.

The arsenic bought into the store last year was sold for less than a penny...

In short, he denied that Yang Naiwu had bought arsenic.

Zhao Cheng became furious and shouted loudly: "Then why did you testify before that Yang Naiwu bought arsenic from you?"

Shopkeeper Qian glanced at Liu Xi with some fear and muttered: "It's... Master Feng from the county government... Master Feng asked me to say this. Master Feng said that if the villain... the villain dares not to listen, then he will Let the villain’s whole family...the whole family have a hard time..."

"My lord, the women of the common people have been wronged..." Wang Po also cried out with a look of grief and grief: "The women of the common people were also forced by others. They had no choice but to give false testimony. I hope that the eldest man will investigate clearly."

Not long after, Liu Xiang was also dragged to the court.

"Let me go, let me go, you are so brave!"

Liu Xiang was used to being arrogant, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself in court.Moreover, his father is still sitting in the hall, what is he afraid of?
At this time, Zhao Cheng already had a rough idea. There were many scholars in the hall and many common people outside the hall.

He is here on behalf of the government. If he continues to turn against Liu Xi at this time, once the situation escalates, he may not be able to keep his black hat.

Moreover, he was not stupid. Seeing that Liu Xi remained silent, he knew that something was wrong. Maybe there was an expert helping secretly in this case.

What's more, if he solves this case, he will definitely be praised by the people of Yuhe County, and he may even gain political achievements.

So, he shouted loudly in the hall: "Liu Xiang, what crime do you deserve for roaring in court? Come on, drag him down and give him twenty sticks!"

All the government officials were also on the sidelines. Seeing that the case was about to be reversed, the county magistrate probably couldn't sit still, so several government officials rushed forward and pushed Liu Xiang to the ground.

After being hit with a wooden board, Liu Xiang was beaten to pieces, and he could no longer maintain his dignity.

Next, as soon as the torture equipment was put on and before the torture started, the boy peed all over his crotch and started to explain everything.

Needless to say, the result was that Zhao Cheng imprisoned Liu Xiang in court, and Liu Xi was temporarily controlled. He was not allowed to step out of the county office and reported the situation to his superiors.

When the case has developed to this point, it is almost impossible to change it.

That afternoon, Ding Xiu and Liao Zhen left Yuhe County and continued towards their destination.

After walking out of the county town, Liao Zhen was even more excited. He was even more convinced that Ding Xiu was not an ordinary person and that this trip would definitely fulfill his long-cherished wish since childhood.

"Brother Ding, what spell did you use to silence that dog official and keep nodding his head in confession?"

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "It's just some small skills. If you have the opportunity to get started in the future, you will be able to master them soon."

"That's great……"

The two traveled together for two days, and on this day, they arrived at a small town.

Unexpectedly, after entering the town, I found that the town was deserted. There was almost no one on the street in broad daylight, and the atmosphere seemed inexplicably depressing.

"Strange..." Liao Zhen looked at the closed doors on both sides of the street and couldn't help but murmured: "Supposedly, this town is not considered remote. Why is it not popular at all?"

"Well, there is a tavern ahead. Let's go check it out and take a rest."

"Okay!" Liao Zhen nodded.

So, the two walked into the tavern together.

There was not a single drinker in the tavern, only a waiter lying on the table, fast asleep.

"Hey, waiter..." Liao Zhen knocked on the table.

The waiter raised his head in a daze, yawned, then stood up hurriedly and came forward: "What do you two gentlemen want to eat?"

"Feel free to order some snacks."

"okay."

After a while, the waiter brought the wine and food and put them on the table.

"Boy, let me ask you something."

"What does the guest officer want to ask?"

"Why is your town so deserted, with so few people around?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression changed and he asked, "Have you never heard of these two guests during your journey?"

Liao Zhen looked confused: "What did you hear?"

The guy sighed: "It seems you really don't know..."

So, the guy told the whole story.

About two months ago, a family went to pick up the bride. After picking up the bride, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew on the way back, and the bride and the sedan were swept up into the sky. The people who were welcoming the bride were so frightened that they fled in all directions. .

After that, everyone said that the strange wind was a monster wind, and the bride was taken away by the monster.

I thought the bride would never return, but three days later, a strange gust of wind would send the sedan to its original place.

However, the bride has completely changed, as if she has aged more than ten years, and is crazy and completely unrecognizable.

After that, several more wedding teams encountered the same disaster. A gust of evil wind swept away the bride and her sedan chair, and they were sent back to their original place three to five days later.

Some of those poor brides went crazy, some committed suicide without shame, and some hid back in their parents' homes and refused to see anyone again.

After the news spread, people all over the country were too frightened to hold any more weddings. Even those who were getting married no longer wore red and green clothes and played music, just like going to the market on weekdays. They went directly to the groom's house, simply. It's considered a marriage if you go to the church.

Unexpectedly, this method eventually led to disaster.

After that, women disappeared one after another, some were unmarried, some were married, and some were even swept into the sky by a demonic wind while walking on the street.

Later, news finally came out, saying that a demon king appeared in Qingshi Mountain, and he also raised some little demons. The previous bride and the woman who disappeared later were abducted by the demon king's little demons.

The demon king was very arrogant and asked the little demon to spread the word that women within a hundred miles radius were not allowed to marry outside, nor were they allowed to marry secretly. They had to make noises and noises to welcome the bride as before, so that it would be easier for it to snatch the bride.

"Nowadays, the people in our area are in panic, and businessmen from other places do not dare to come after hearing the news. Our tavern..." At this point, the waiter couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The two guests also saw it, almost No one is here.”

After hearing what the waiter said, Liao Zhen's expression was indescribably weird.

He sympathized with the local people, but at the same time he was also a little excited... It wasn't that he was gloating over his misfortune, but this trip had opened his eyes.

Even the demon king has appeared, how could there be no gods?

Ding Xiu took a sip of wine and asked, "You said the demon king appeared in Qingshi Mountain?"

"Well, that's what the rumors say."

"How to get to Qingshi Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter couldn't help being surprised: "You two guests don't want to go to Qingshi Mountain, do you? Don't go. You two guests look like scholars. This kind of thing is not a joke."

"It's okay, waiter, we are just asking around..." The waiter sighed, gave a rough description of the location of Qingshi Mountain, and finally said: "You two gentlemen can just ask, it's best to leave as soon as possible, Qian Never go to Qingshi Mountain."

Ding Xiu said seriously: "Well, we won't go..."

No wonder!
After leaving the tavern, the two walked towards the north of the town together.

Along the way, Liao Zhen seemed extremely excited.

"Brother Ding, can we defeat the demon king?"

"We?" Ding Xiu smiled half-heartedly.

"Ahem!" Liao Zhen coughed dryly: "At least, I can still help Brother Ding."

"If there really is a demon king, aren't you afraid?"

Liao Zhen puffed out his chest: "What's so scary? Since ancient times, evil has always prevailed over good!"

"However, there is also an old saying that says that if you are taller, the devil will be taller..."

Not far away, Ding Xiu suddenly frowned, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and then said to Liao Zhen: "You take care of yourself, I'll be back when I go."

"what?"

Liao Zhen didn't understand what Ding Xiu meant for a while.

But he finally understood the next moment, because Ding Xiu jumped into the air, stepped on a flying sword that flew out from unknown time, and flew away quickly.

"Guru..."

Liao Zhen was stunned for a long time, and then swallowed hard, then he looked excited and laughed like crazy: "Gods, idols, wait for me..."

While shouting, he ran wildly.

Although he had guessed before that Ding Xiu was not an ordinary person, he never expected that he was so extraordinary and could fly with a sword. Isn't this the legendary Sword Immortal?

Let's talk about the other side.

Several village women in Shangshan Village were washing clothes by the stream outside the village.

Although the recent demon commotion has made everyone panic, life must go on.

On weekdays, when they were washing clothes by the stream, it was a rare leisure time. While washing clothes, everyone talked and laughed, and the parents had a short chat for a while.

But now, no one is in the mood to chat, they just want to wash their clothes and go home quickly.

Unexpectedly, disaster still struck.

Just when several village women were about to finish washing their clothes and return to the village, a strange gust of wind suddenly hit...

"what!"

Several village women were so frightened that they screamed and ran towards the village without even taking care of their clothes.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

There was a strange laughter in the sky.

Then two strange-looking little demons appeared. One flew in front of several village women and blocked the way. The other glanced at one of the village women, drooled, and said in a weird accent. : "This one looks good. Take it back and present it to the king."

Another little demon glanced at another village woman: "This is not bad either..."

While talking, the two little demons blew at the two village women respectively, and a demonic wind blew out, causing the two village women to float into the air involuntarily.

"Help!"

"Baby, his father..."

The two village women were horrified and shouted at the top of their lungs.

When the villagers heard the cry for help, they all turned pale with fright, but a few brave villagers still ran out holding poles and hoes.

However, they are just ordinary people, so how can they have the ability to fight these monsters?I can only scream and chase in despair, grief, and anger.

The two little demons were so proud that they each carried a village woman and flew away into the distance.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from the sky...

"Bold evildoer, please die quickly!"

With a loud roar, the two triumphant little demons became dizzy, their bodies instantly lost balance, and they fell from the sky.

Before it fell to the ground, Ding Xiu raised his finger and flicked it twice, and two golden lights instantly penetrated the bodies of the two little demons.

When it landed on the ground, it was motionless.

At the same time, without the support of the magic power, the two village women fell instantly and screamed again in fright.

At this time, Ding Xiu's figure flew over like lightning, one with each hand, dragging the two village women to the ground.

This scene was clearly seen by the villagers.

After being stunned for a while, a villager finally came to his senses. With an excited look on his face, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed:
"The immortal master has appeared, the immortal master has appeared..."

"God open your eyes..."

"Kowtow to the Immortal Master..."

For a time, almost the whole village rushed out of the village and kowtowed to Ding Xiu.

When Ding Xiu let go, the two village women couldn't help but burst into tears, and they both turned around and bowed.

"Okay, everyone get up."

Ding Xiu raised his hand slightly, as if a gentle breeze was blowing by, and the invisible force made the villagers stand up involuntarily.

As a result, all the villagers believed that Ding Xiu was the immortal master sent by God to save them.

Next, Ding Xiu briefly asked a few words and then flew away.

After flying not far, I saw Liao Zhen wiping his sweat, panting heavily and looking around, as if he was trying to identify the direction.

Obviously, he missed the wonderful scene before.

"Brother Ding, what's going on? Why did you suddenly fly away with a hiss? Is there something evil about you?"

"Not bad..." Ding Xiu smiled and fell in front of Liao Zhen.

"Then...then you killed the monster so quickly?" Liao Zhen asked with wide eyes.

"Just two little demons..."

"Brother Ding, you are so uninteresting. Why don't you take my little brother to fly with me? It can also open my eyes."

"You want to fly?"

"Of course……"

"Okay, let's go!"

Ding Xiu stretched out his hand and pulled the sword into the air.

Liao Zhen was caught off guard and startled.

But the next moment, I was pleasantly surprised and looked down excitedly...

As a result, I felt dizzy.

He discovered that he was actually a little afraid of heights.
