Chapter 302: A Clever Case on the Road to the West (Part II)

After quietly listening to Huang Shilang's intermittent narration, Yang Zhen's brows wrinkled unconsciously, judging from the motive of this case, it is indeed very likely that the village chief Huang Qishan killed people because he was angry that the two priests took the position that should belong to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But no matter what the case, you can't convict people based on motives alone.

It's a pity that now that I have something to do to rush to Datong, it is impossible to stay in this village for too long, and it is even more impossible to check in detail and find out the real murderer. Thinking of this, Yang Zhen said: "Although what you said has a certain amount of truth, how can human life be determined by such a few words?" Do you have any other evidence to prove that it was this Huang Qishan who killed him? ”

Huang Shilang saw that Yang Zhen wanted to protect Huang Qishan, so he was a little bold and said, "This is not ...... It's not that the villain is wronging him, but that he has given me instructions...... Yes, it was Baiying God who pointed out that Huang Qishan was the murderer! The last repetition of the words was full of confidence, as if a god had given him great courage.

Hearing such an explanation, Yang Zhen couldn't help but pout, revealing a look of disdain. Although there was a phenomenon of crossing over time that science could not explain in his body, as a later generation, he never believed in the theory of gods and ghosts. It is impossible for him to believe in even the great gods such as Buddhism and Taoism, which are widely respected by the people, let alone such evil gods in the village.

But Yang Zhen could also see that the villagers next to him became more excited after hearing what kind of instructions this was, and their eyes looking at Huang Qishan tied to the shelf became more fierce.

If he didn't know about this, Yang Zhen might only laugh when he heard it, but since he had asked, he naturally had to be responsible to the end, and there was no reason to give up halfway and let Huang Qishan die on this scene. Since these villagers would not listen to their own advice, they had no choice but to overpower them with authority. Thinking of this, he turned his face and said in a deep voice: "How can a human life lawsuit be decided at will by the grass people, and this official, as an official of the imperial court, will not allow you to make such nonsense." Listen to my order, quickly release him and take him to the local county office, and hand him over to the government for trial and judgment! ”

The common people are afraid of officials, which is the general status quo of this era. As soon as they saw Yang Zhen put on an official posture and carried him out of the county office, the villagers who wanted to burn Huang Qishan to death suddenly flinched, as if they had the intention of compromise. Yang Zhen was overjoyed when he saw this, it seems that the status of the government in the eyes of the people is higher.

I didn't want to be at this moment, but Huang Shilang's face changed, and he screamed: "No, if we hand over the person to the county government, we can't sacrifice him to Baiying God today, so Baiying God will condemn us Huangjiagou, and then ......" said, with a frightened expression on his face.

The effect of his words was even greater than Yang Zhen's prestige when he moved out of the official mansion, and the villagers, who were still a little moved, suddenly became resolute again. A few of the more daring ones even shouted: "This great man, God has issued a decree, we must burn this sinner to death today, otherwise he will take the lives of our entire village to atone...... Please be good, sir, and have mercy on us. ”

Although they said it humbly, Yang Zhen saw deep wariness and hostility in the eyes of many of them. Obviously, if Yang Zhen had to take Huang Qishan away, the dozens of people in front of him would have to fight with him.

Although these physically weak villagers did not pose the slightest threat to Yang Zhen at all, he was not able to forcibly take people away, and the situation froze suddenly.

It seems that this Baiying God has already established a lofty position in the hearts of the villagers, so that every word of his words has become a will, so that the villagers must not disobey it. How good is that? Yang Zhen's mind spun rapidly, and at the same time, his eyes swept over the faces of the resolute or cowardly villagers in front of him, hoping to find a solution from their expressions.

And the guards behind him were even more annoyed when they saw their adults being hit by these mud legs. If it weren't for the fact that his lord didn't give the order, and there was still Lord Qincha watching behind him, I was afraid that he would have rushed up and beaten these bold guys violently, and then took them away.

As for the distance, those soldiers and Zhong Yu and the others were also watching the situation here. Although they couldn't hear the conversation here, some people could tell the situation as a whole. Finding that Yang Zhen was deflated in front of those villagers, many sergeants showed disdain, and returned the brocade guards, which was really embarrassing!

However, Zhong Yu showed a little appreciation after seeing this situation: "This Yang Zhen is not a bully, but what can he do to solve this situation completely?" ”

Yang Zhen knew that his actions would inevitably fall into the eyes of those behind him, which made him feel a little more pressure, because once things were not done beautifully, it would inevitably affect his reputation in this Qincha team. However, pressure may be a bad thing for others, but for Yang Zhen, it is the motivation that pushes him to play his best.

At the same time as feeling the pressure from behind him, Yang Zhen had already seen a trace of cunning and smug look in the eyes of Huang Shilang in front of him. Although this was just a fleeting look, it was enough to make Yang Zhen suspicious of this priest who kept saying that he wanted to burn Huang Qishan in the name of the Baiying God.

But from the conversation just now, Yang Zhen can already be sure that this priest named Huang Shilang has a very high status in the hearts of the villagers, and if he bluntly suspects that he was the one who killed the other priest, I am afraid that no villager will believe it. Moreover, he doesn't have any evidence at hand now, and he can't convict people only by relying on intuition and speculation, otherwise there would be no difference from Huang Shilang.

But since it is certain that this case is indeed not Huang Qishan's doing, Yang Zhen has already given birth to a good way to fight poison with poison. I saw that he suddenly turned his face and scolded: "Your Baiying God is just a small folk god, how can you determine the life and death of people." The great god of Brother Chun, whom this official believes, is the real great god who can dominate everything in the world! ”

"Huh?" The villagers thought of a lot of Yang Zhen's reactions, even including his forced appointment to take Huang Qishan away, but they didn't expect him to blurt out such a sentence, and they were immediately stunned on the spot. This is also the benefit of the Han people believing in religion but not excluding other immortals, if you change the kind of extreme sect believers in later generations, as long as you dare to say in front of him that your own boss is not as good as other bosses, people can fight you with knives and guns, or the kind that never dies.

Yang Zhen saw that everyone was stunned on the spot, so he continued: "Why, don't you even know about Brother Chun? Don't you hear that Brother Xinchun has eternal life? ”

"This great lord, even if your great god really has great magical powers, but our Baiying God has already pointed out the identity of the murderer......" Huang Shilang didn't expect Yang Zhen to suddenly change the topic, so he cautiously insisted.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Zhen waving his hand: "Brother Chun, the god just gave me a divine revelation, saying that the murderer of Huang Baifu was not Huang Qishan at all, but someone else!" If you people in Huangjiagou refuse to listen to him and find out the real murderer, he will raze the entire village to the ground, so that you will never be reborn! ”

If Yang Zhen forced them to find another murderer in the name of himself or the government, the villagers would definitely oppose it, because in their eyes, Baiying God was higher than the existence of the government. But now, when Yang Zhen also threw out a god, and as soon as he heard such a lofty statement that he would have eternal life, the people suddenly did not dare to offend him anymore, let alone refute it.

After a while, Huang Shilang said with an ugly face: "Master, this Brother Chun God really has such magical powers, can it be more effective than our Baiying God?" And if this murderer wasn't Huang Qishan, we wouldn't have guessed who killed Huang Baifu......"

Yang Zhen glanced at the people around him, knowing that they were also suspicious, so he laughed and said, "Since you have doubts about this, then I will let you see how powerful Brother Chun's supernatural powers are!" As he spoke, he turned around and whispered a few words of command to one of the guards behind him.

After hearing his words, the guard was a little puzzled, but he still agreed, turned around and ran back to the group. After a while, several sergeants flashed out of the ranks, and they brought a large iron pot with a small half pot of oil poured into it.

Under the curious gaze of the villagers and other soldiers, they put a part of the firewood piled up at Huang Qishan's feet under the pot, and it seemed that it was about to start a fire.

Under the strange gaze of the villagers, Yang Zhen took out a copper coin and threw it into the pot, and then said, "When the fire starts later, the oil will boil." Ordinary people get hurt if they get a little bit of the boiling oil. But I'm different, I have the blessing of Brother Chun, and I can take out the copper coin in the boiling pot without hurting myself! ”

"Ah......" This time, not only the villagers, but also the guards and sergeants on the side were also taken aback when they heard it. If it is really as Yang Zhen said, he can enter the oil pot without hurting himself, then he really has some Spring Brother God possession.

While everyone was stunned, the pot of oil was already boiling. Yang Zhen didn't wait, he came to the pot in a few steps, calmly reached into the oil pot under the gaze of everyone, and after groping inside, he picked up his hand again, only to see that he had picked up a shiny copper coin between his fingers.

This behavior suddenly stunned everyone around him, and even Zhong Yushi in the distance was also shocked: "Does this kid still have such a means?" ”

There were only a few guards who knew the details, and Cai Yingyang, who was holding back a smile behind Yang Zhen, was an exception. The latter had already heard Yang Zhen explain the principle of making money in this oil pot as early as when he was in Hangzhou, but he didn't expect Yang Zhen to show a small hand in front of people again today!
