2. The Island of Desire Chapter 39 Seeking Justice

The black qi slowly transferred to the orb, and the turbid qi in Zhang Kaiyuan's body was emptying, and the black around his body became thin and even disappeared.

But his eyes are still prominent, his lips are blue, and his demonic nature is still undiminished.

Yang Xichi withdrew the orb and threw a piece of lightning peachwood on Zhang Kaiyuan. He sat cross-legged, his deep voice continued to recite the inaudible mantra, Zhang Kaiyuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were blank as if he was out of his body.

Yang Xichi's incantation became faster and faster, it seemed to be a person, but in fact, it was a hundred and thousands of voices, whispering wave after wave, and a blood line came out of the top of the open source.

Yang Xichi stopped talking, but the sound of the incantation still echoed in his ears, and he poured mana into his palm, and struck it on the lightning peachwood. The peach wood was immediately crushed into foam and dissolved in Zhang Kaiyuan's body, and the blood line was stimulated by the peach wood and drilled out of the top of his head.

Zhang Kaiyuan's lips turned normal blood pink, and his face also returned to the luster of ordinary people. His eyes gradually focused, and he was startled when he saw himself floating in the air, and he struggled to go down but triggered the demon rope, which made him scream in pain.

Yang Xichi took out the residual mirror in his palm, and the pure mana suppressed the remaining turbidity on the mirror.

After repeated inspections, he confirmed that there was no problem, and returned the remnant mirror to Linghua: "This broken mirror has been purified, and Linghua girl can take it back." ”

Linghua took the small bronze mirror and put it in her palm, and the golden light generated by the induction shone on her face. She closed her eyes, her eyes moving rapidly, retracting the remnant mirror's vision.

Zhang Kaiyuan saw this scene and shouted: "What did you do to me? Are you in league with that youkai?! That's my mirror! Give me back the mirror! ”

Hearing this, Linghua put the remnant mirror in Zhang Kaiyuan's hand, took a few steps back, the remnant mirror shone brightly, and the powerful force broke free from the shackles of his fingers, and flew to Linghua's side very quickly, floating in the dark under the golden light.

She lightly pinched the remnant mirror and put it in the palm of her hand: "The treasure mirror has a spirit, it has been with you for many years but does not recognize you, Zhang Yuanwai should know why." ”

Zhang Kaiyuan wanted to say something, Heng Gu turned his wrist, and the demon rope tightened: "How many girls have you harmed, how many people have you been pitted, and now you are still greedy for this mirror?" Unrepentant! ”

Zhang Kaiyuan was strangled and displaced, and he said weakly: "You know so many secrets about me, I will kill you sooner or later, don't strangle ......" fainted without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Yang Xichi lowered him to the ground, stepped forward to collect the blood line on Zhang Kaiyuan's head and studied it carefully.

Linghua and Heng Gu glanced at each other, and tacitly used their spiritual power to lift Zhang Kaiyuan upright and push him into the kitchen to guard.

Seeing this, Chen Wan in the jade pendant complained: "Why don't you kill him!" You only keep him here, when you have so many opportunities? Murder is life! ”

Linghua took out the jade pendant from his waist and persuaded him earnestly: "It is indeed natural to kill people to pay for their lives, but this crime should not be judged by us privately, but should be announced to the world, so that the government and the people can judge, and let all people with a conscience know what kind of person he is, so as to seek justice for you." ”

Chen Wan snorted and said sarcastically: "Justice...... This is the most useless thing, the justice in your mouth has not given me a proper explanation, you should let me out and kill him. ”

Linghua shook his head: "You want to take revenge, I understand it very well, but Zhang Kaiyuan is not only burdened with human lives, he abducted many women, and gave them to the officials and rich people in Yuncheng, this is no longer to repay your debts alone, but the debts of all the people who were harmed by him."

You killed him today to avenge yourself, but the incense courtyard will not disappear, the abducted Shen's mother will not admit her guilt, the officials who colluded with him will not be investigated, and the people who have the same experience as you are still in dire straits. His death could have been more meaningful, you say? ”

Chen Wan was silent for a while, as if after thinking for a moment and making a decision: "Okay, then I will believe you once, if justice does not work, I will still use my own methods to make him pay." ”

Linghua touched the warm jade: "I will find a way, justice is in the hearts of the people." ”

Back in the hall, Yang Xichi was already sitting at the table and tasting tea, the talisman on Chen Xi's body was gone, and he was sobbing in a low voice on the chair.

Yang Xichi gathered his momentum and stood up: "Poor Dao has broken the seal on Chen Wan's body, and she can be free." ”

Chen Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down neatly and dragged the corners of the two of them: "Benefactor, Zhang Kaiyuan, you have also caught it, I beg you, just let me see my sister!" ”

Chen Wan in the jade pendant heard the voice and asked anxiously: "It's my sister!" What's wrong with her? I haven't seen her in a long time......"

Linghua sighed when he heard this, and said to Chen Xi: "Chen Wan's soul has been introduced into the jade pendant, and it is not stable at present, and it is not suitable to be drawn out again, just tell the jade pendant directly what you want to say, and I will convey it on my behalf." ”

Chen Xi looked at Yu Pei and then at Linghua, as if he felt strange, but he still opened his mouth tentatively: "Sister? ”

"Pity, is that you? How are you doing? You told me that day that you wanted to eat sugar gourds, but my sister didn't buy them, I'm sorry. ”

Chen Xi couldn't stop crying when she heard it: "It's really you, sister!" Sister, I should say I'm sorry...... I did something wrong and really regretted it...... Sister, I will definitely help you redress your grievances at any cost and let the culprit pay for his life! ”

Chen Wan heard this and said anxiously: "What stupid things are you doing!" Don't put your life on the line, my sister is dead, don't provoke such rights and wrongs, take care of my father and mother at home, which is the most comforting thing for my sister. ”

Chen Xi hid his face and cried, shaking his head desperately: "You don't know...... You don't know...... I was wrong, and I will atone for my sins. ”

Linghua didn't dare to let Chen Xi say any more, she temporarily hid the jade pendant from perception, and said to Chen Xi: "In this case, I will prepare well in the next few days, and the time has come to take you to the official mansion to express your grievances." ”

Chen Xi looked up in surprise: "But Master Li, he is Fu Yin, he will ......"

Linghua raised his hand to stop Chen Xi's words: "It's okay, we will protect you." And, I have a trick. ”

In the Canglan Pavilion, Linghua went up to the third floor familiarly, and Qin Si was the only one in the storytelling hall who was snorting melon seeds by candlelight, and when he saw Linghua coming, he got up to greet him: "Sister Linghua, you are here." ”

Linghua nodded and asked, "What about An Huai?" ”

Qin Si complained a little: "He has locked himself in the dark room in recent days and ignored me, which is really excessive." ”

Linghua laughed lightly: "I'll talk about him for you." ”

She shouted "Anhuai" and opened the curtain into the dark room. There were five or six candles in the dark room, and there were mountains of case files on the originally empty table, and An Huai was writing hard in the pile of papers.

Linghua saw that he was writing seriously, so he didn't make a sound, just waited quietly by the side.

She saw a case file with "Cloud City Serial Disappearance" written on it, and several pieces of paper with confessions written on it.

She couldn't help asking, "Someone is missing in Cloud City?" ”

An Huai raised his head in surprise when he heard this: "Linghua? When did you come in, why didn't you make any noise. ”

After speaking, he patted his head: "It's bad, I completely forgot about the investigation of Chen Xi, I've been busy investigating the missing case recently, and I'm so anxious!" ”

Linghua waved his hand: "It's okay, I already know about Chen Xi's matter." But...... These case files are all owned by the government, and now you are doing things for the government? ”

An Huai blocked his mouth and said mysteriously: "There is a Governor Li above who has taken a fancy to my Bai Xiaosheng's ability, and asked me to provide him with news." He will come to Cloud City in a few days to inspect the case and personally try the case. ”

"The governor is coming?" Linghua's eyes lit up.

An Huai looked around and whispered: "Yes, I'll be here in three days, but he is a secret visit, you have to keep it secret." ”

Linghua nodded: "An Huai, it's really right for you to come." ”

She lifted her skirt and strode back to the Spring Warm Pavilion, called Henggu to find the pen and ink, and wrote down a paper-like book.

Blowing dry the ink, he handed the pleadings to Chen Xi: "The plan has changed, three days later, you go to the entrance of the government to beat the drum, and present the pleadings and the booklet recording the abducted woman, and someone will take care of it." ”

Yang Xichi got up: "Three days later, Poor Dao will go with Miss Chen." ”

Two days later in the evening.

Linghua took out the heart mirror, strengthened the enchantment of Chun Nuan Pavilion, and the two of them strode into the incense courtyard, and Shen's mother was really no longer here. Linghua found a no-man's corner and took out the residual mirror.

Mother Shen in the mirror was shocked when she heard the news from a person who looked like a guard, and turned around to pack her luggage and prepare to escape.

After Linghua saw the room clearly, he glanced at Heng Gu and disappeared into the corner in an instant.

The two appeared in Shen's mother's room, Henggu pressed Shen's mother's shoulder, Linghua raised her eyebrows, and Shen's mother fainted.

Heng Gu grabbed Shen's mother's shoulders and took her back to the Chun Nuan Pavilion and locked her in the Linghua room.

The next day, Chen Xi anxiously took the pleadings to the door of the government to beat the drum and voice the grievances. The rumbling drums seemed to be incomparably vast, resounding throughout the entire city of Little Cloud City.

Since the governor was in Cloud City, the case was soon accepted. Because of the accusation that Yin Li Chengzhang of Yuncheng Prefecture colluded with Zhang Kaiyuan, an outsider, and Zhang Kaiyuan, a foreigner, Zhang Kaiyuan looted people's fat, abducted and sold women from good families, and Yang Xichi, the Taoist chief who eliminated harm for the people, was a guarantor, and the case reached the ears of Governor Li Chengzhi within half an hour.

Li Chengzhi ordered a thorough investigation, and the bloodbath of Zhang's mansion was also discovered, and the case caused an uproar in Yuncheng. Zhang Kaiyuan, Shen's mother, and Chen Xi were all imprisoned, and even the governor's cousin, Yin Li Chengzhang, was not spared.

Half a month later, the prisoner was detained, and all kinds of charges were publicized on the bulletin board, and the three words "Zhang Shanren" became a complete joke.

Yin Li Chengzhang of Yuncheng Mansion embezzled and accepted bribes, confiscated his home, and was exiled for 3,000 miles. Zhang Kaiyuan plundered and sold people, harmed the people, slaughtered the whole of Zhang's mansion, confiscated his house, gave him a hundred rods, and fifty lashes, and was beheaded after three days.

Mother Shen plundered the population, 100 rods, and exiled 1,000 miles. Chen Xi helped the gang to abuse, read the meritorious exposé, 30 rods, and exiled 1,000 miles. Other colluding officials and wealthy businessmen were fined and caned.

Everything was settled, and three days later, Linghua and Henggu took Chen Wan's soul to the vegetable market to watch the execution, but Chen Xi's sentence Linghua did not dare to inform Chen Wan.

The execution platform was overcrowded, and some people who believed in Zhang Kaiyuan still shouted "Zhang Shanren is innocent", and other people couldn't listen to it, and also shouted "Beheaded!" Behead! ”

At this time, Zhang Kaiyuan was escorted out, and the surroundings were immediately silent, but there was silence for a moment, and the onlookers all shouted "Beheaded!" Behead! ”

Zhang Kaiyuan looked at the boiling people and lowered his head. He was shackled and shackled, his clothes still stained with blood from the rod, his hair was disheveled, and he staggered to the guillotine and knelt.

After the two or three official family members confirmed their identities, the supervisor looked at the sun and drew a piece of paper to sign the plaque and landed.

"The hour has come, execution!"

A squirt of wine, a wipe of the blade. The beheading knife was shining silver, and it was aimed at Zhang Kaiyuan's neck.

Zhang Kaiyuan closed his eyes nervously, and suddenly time seemed to pause, and a female voice flowed to his ears like a spring water: "Do you regret it?" ”

He raised his head to look at the people under the execution table, and his eyes were pierced with frozen resentment.

The female voice continued: "You have been mired in evil thoughts in this life, and the torture you have experienced is self-inflicted. In fact, everyone has their own island of desire, but not every island of desire has enough power to form.

Most people don't have such greed and no strong obsession. People who are caught up in it lose themselves and lose sight of the other good things around them. And it is not easy to wake up in time. Therefore, people fall deeper and deeper, and finally fall into an irreparable situation.

Zhang Kaiyuan, I hope you will not be such a person in this life in your next life. ”

Zhang Kaiyuan lowered his head, his lips squirmed a few times and did not say anything.

"When you are dying, what do you want?"

Zhang Kaiyuan's lips hummed: "Copper plate...... I want a copper plate ......"

The female voice was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

Time seemed to pass again, and a copper plate was thrown from the guillotine out of nowhere, rolling round to his knees. Zhang Kaiyuan looked down, and used his hand that was shackled by Fang to reach for the copper plate, don't look over it and stuff it into his hair.

The executioner's eyes widened, and when he saw the opportunity, his hand rose and fell, and Zhang Kaiyuan's fat head rolled to the side like a copper plate for a suitable talent.

The moment when the head and body were separated, he seemed to feel that he was not dead, and he clearly saw Linghua sweeping the copper plate in his hand and leading the white-clothed young man against the crowd.

The crowd burst into excited cheers: "Good kill!" Well done! ”

It's all over, the sea of desire, the island of desire, the turbidity impregnated, and the search for justice. The piles and piles were all over when this head hit the ground.

Linghua pinched the jade pendant and used her spiritual sense to communicate with her: "Did you see it?" Chen Wan. That's justice.

What is wrong will not become right, and bullying will not become word-of-mouth. Although this day is a little late, it does not mean that it will not come. Your wait is worth it. ”
