The Monk

Chapter 326 The Evil Man

Zhang Ai was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he fluttered up and shuttled around the house like a butterfly through flowers. Several lights and shadows flashed back and forth, dazing the thirteen women. He flew back to the door and closed the door to block the eyes of the women who came with him. He coldly ordered: : "Go to the Yamen and do something for me."

The four Taoist priests saw that he was moving quickly and knew that he was no match for him, and they had no idea what this man wanted to do. One person took off his monk's robe and put it on to cover his body, and said respectfully: "The four juniors are disciples of the Hehuan sect. I wonder where the seniors practice?..." Before he could finish his words, Zhang was afraid of taking his life with a single point in the air, so he coldly Said: "Too much nonsense, do you three go to the Yamen?"

The three of them were shocked. Are you going to kill someone? He scrambled to get up and said, "Go, let's go." His words were trembling, full of fear. Zhang Ping Leng glanced at him and said, "Get dressed and let's go." The three of them knew that the cultivation levels of the two sides were far apart and they did not dare to resist. They hurriedly turned over their Taoist robes and put them on, fearfully walking ahead to lead the way.

The yamen is easy to find, but some officials do not live in the yamen. Except for the county magistrates who live in the back hall and those on duty, most of them use excuses to live outside.

The three Taoist priests walked anxiously to the county government office with Zhang Ping and the young woman. The grievance drum beside the government office stood quietly withered. Zhang Wen went over to pick up the drumstick and banged eighteen times, then dropped the drumstick and walked into the Yamen with his head held high.

Two yamen servants stood at the yamen gate. They wanted to stop Zhang Ain from playing the drum, but when they saw three Taoist priests with him, they hesitated and did not dare to step forward. Seeing Zhang Wen walking towards the Yamen again, he had no choice but to bravely reach out and stop him, saying loudly: "Stop."

If it were an ordinary person, the two government officials might have scolded them a few times, saying they were trying to kill themselves if they had nothing to do. But when I saw Zhang Awei's expressionless face and cold eyes, I couldn't help but panic; and when I saw several Taoist masters who were usually aloof and powerful, now looking respectfully at the drummer like the third grandson, I felt more and more confused.

Zhang Ai looked at the two of them coldly and shouted: "Get out." He grabbed the woman and rushed in. The three Taoist priests looked at each other. No one dared to make any move, so they followed in honestly.

When the two government officials saw that the intruder was so generous, they knew that they could not stop them, let alone stop them, so they could only let them enter, and ran to the back hall to report to the county master.

After bypassing the screen wall and entering the court hall, Zhang Wen sat down directly on the high chair in the center where the county magistrate sat, and said to the woman, "Sit down too." The woman looked around and hesitated for a while before daring to find a seat to sit down. But I was very scared. When would I be able to sit in Mr. Guan’s lobby? There are also those Taoist masters who are usually mighty and aloof, but now they are following around with their heads bowed like followers. This is something that I dare not even think about. I wonder what these people will do to me if my benefactor is not here.

She felt uneasy, and the three Taoist priests were even more uneasy. The woman in front of her looked familiar, but they couldn't believe it. She wasn't dead? Or is there someone else? How will that kid deal with himself?

At this time, the county magistrate came to the lobby dressed neatly. He coughed twice and walked in with all his authority. When he saw an unknown young man sitting in his seat, his face darkened and he shouted: "You are bold and unruly, and you dare to despise the imperial court." , Isn’t this your playground above the lobby? You simply regard the law as nothing. Come on, pull me down with me..." When he saw three Taoist priests looking at him, he didn't say the next words. He kept thinking in his mind. What happened.

Zhang Awei handled the matter with a sharp-edged approach. Without further ado, he opened his mouth and asked, "Who came up with the idea of ​​sacrificing human beings to the River God?"

"Ah?" The county magistrate was surprised. Could someone be avenging the injustice of the mud-legged man? This is something that several gods have to do, but no one has dared to take care of it. What happened today?

Everyone who is a county magistrate has a master to help him. The master of the county magistrate walked slowly and came out a little later. When he saw a young man in a rough shirt sitting in the hall, there were three Taoist priests and the county magistrate standing next to him. There was also a young woman sitting there. She was suspicious and didn't know what was going on. She boldly asked, "Who are you? Come down quickly. Is that seat suitable for you?"

Zhang Ain smiled at him and said, "You're here just in time. Please work hard and find me all the people involved in offering sacrifices to the River God, whether they are officials or not." Suddenly something didn't feel right in his mind. What if this guy runs away and doesn't come back? Then he said: "You should stay here, Mr. County Magistrate. Please give an order to the government officials to call all the relevant people."

The county magistrate still wanted to show off his official power and shouted angrily: "You are bold and unruly, roaring in the court and teasing me. Come here, drag me down with me and beat the eighty board again." Following his shouts, six government officials walked out of the side hall. , including the two who were watching the gate just now, six people carrying killing sticks surrounded Zhang Ain.

Zhang was afraid that he would be bored, so he grabbed the county magistrate, broke off one of his arms and said coldly: "Say it again, go and find all the people involved in worshiping the river god. I don't want to say it a third time."

The county magistrate broke his arm and screamed in pain, but Zhang Ping's words could be heard clearly despite the severe pain. He hurriedly endured the pain and shouted: "Quick, hurry up, do as he said!" Six people The yamen servant saw that this was an evil star who dared to hurt people carelessly in the court. It was definitely not his fault. He hurriedly took the order and ran out of the hall, calling more yamen servants to invite people together.

After the government officials left, Zhang was afraid of leaving the county magistrate. He glanced at everyone in the hall coldly and said softly: "Tell me, who came up with the idea of ​​offering sacrifices to the river god?"

The magistrate hugged his broken arm and almost shed tears because of the pain. He knew that he would not get any favors today, and he resented the three Taoist priests for bringing disaster. He pointed at them and shouted: "It's them. They said they wanted to find a virgin to practice double cultivation. They forced them to do it." "I did it," the master said, "Yes, it's them. They use magic to deceive the villagers and scare their parents into offering women for their pleasure."

The faces of the three Taoist priests turned pale. Zhang was afraid that he would kill people if he said he was going to kill someone, and he would hurt people if he said he would hurt someone. He had seen how ruthless he was, so he would be lying if he said he was not afraid. He pointed at the county magistrate and argued, "We are just asking for women to practice double cultivation. That dog official is lying." Not only did he cheat people with money, he also came up with the idea of ​​sacrificing virgins to the river god, forcing the people to pay for their lives, and those who had no money had no choice but to throw themselves into the river..."

Zhang was afraid that he would not have to listen to what was said next, as he had already sentenced the five people in the hall to death in his heart. He stood up and walked to the woman's side, whispering: "I will help you get revenge." Then he walked to the entrance of the court and stood with his back to everyone and his hands behind his back.

The three Taoist priests had learned some spells, and when they saw that Zhang Awei was defenseless, they became malicious. They quarreled, looked at each other, and each pulled out a few low-level charms from their sleeves and threw them at Zhang Awei at the same time. Their cultivation level is low and they cannot use flying swords, so they can only use talismans to fight the enemy.

Zhang Awei sighed softly: "Evil people are really evil." He grabbed all the talismans with his backhand, but the talismans did not explode. Zhang Ai slowly turned around, looked down at the talisman, and asked in a low voice: "You want to kill me?"
