Chapter Twenty-Three: Dreams
Above the public court, Gao Xianling stared at Su Ming, who was still calm and calm under the hall, and immediately became angry.
"Li Hu, what are you doing here! Why don't you hurry up and take down this villain who killed Master Pudu and put him in prison! ā
Hearing Gao Xianling's sharp roar, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of Li Hu, who was standing in place, and then immediately trotted to Gao Xianling's side and whispered to him:
"Lord County Commander, this young man's methods and ways are not simple, he can not only kill people with a sword in the air, but his temperament is even more extraordinary. And the woman next to him seems to be able to cast powerful spells, neither of them is an ordinary mortal. ā
"And Master Napudu and the rest of the warrior monks of De'an Temple, they do have problems."
"After Master Pudu was killed just now, those warrior monks seemed to be controlled by some demon, and the group went mad and hurt people with blood-red eyes!"
"And Master Napudu is even more weird, after he was killed, the corpse can still speak!"
"Then a demon came out of his corpse!"
Recalling the black figure that came out of the corpse of the old monk Pudu and exuded a terrifying and infiltrating aura before, Li Hu couldn't help but tremble, and continued to persuade bitterly:
"Lord County Commander, I know that the De'an Temple behind Master Napudu is not easy to provoke, but in the same way, this young man with a dusty temperament is not easy to provoke."
"Why don't we just go through the motions first, and then when the people from De'an Temple come, we will hand over this young man to the people of De'an Temple, and let the two of them argue on their own?"
Li Hu knew in his heart that whether it was Su Ming or the people from De'an Temple, it was the county government that was sandwiched in the middle that was the most uncomfortable.
On one side, it may be a worldly master, and on the other side, it is influential, so whether you stand in line in advance, then the other side is not easy to deal with.
Therefore, Li Hu wanted to persuade Gao Xian Ling to jump out of the position of this middleman, don't be in a hurry to stand in line first, stabilize Su Ming, the "sinner", for the time being, and wait for someone to come to De'an Temple, and then hand Su Ming over to them for disposal.
After all, he remembered that Su Ming had said before that he could be interrogated and would not embarrass the people of the county government.
A reclusive master like this, presumably he won't go back on his word, right?
Just when Li Hu thought that the Gao County Order would reweigh the pros and cons of this matter and withdraw the order to detain Su Ming, the latter suddenly raised the shocking wood and slapped it heavily on the table.
"Bang!"
"Bold Li Hu! As the head of the county government, you should have enforced the law impartially, but you took into account the pros and cons, and repeatedly interceded for the villain who killed Master Pudu! Where is the justice and honesty that the Son of Heaven has given to me in the county government? ā
Gao Xian Ling arched his hand to the sky, looked at Li Hu with a look of righteous indignation, and said: "Come on, drag Li Hu down and beat the thirty boards for me, so that he can have a good long memory!" ā
After speaking, under the hint of the main thin eyes on the side, several catchers with killing sticks stepped forward quickly and pulled Li Hu out.
"Spare your life! Spare your life! Yes~! ā
Hearing the screams and wails coming from Li Hu outside, Su Ming wanted to step forward to stop him, he didn't want to affect others because of what he did.
But he found that every time the powerful catchers outside the hall waved the killing rod in their hands, they could accurately avoid Li Hu's buttocks hitting the edge of the wooden chair next to him, and Li Hu was still screaming again and again..........
Even a fool knows that several of them are acting.
"These people are really slippery."
Su Ming smiled helplessly on his face, then raised his eyes to look at the high county order in the public court, and suddenly said, "The county commander wants to cure Su's crime?" ā
Hearing this, Gao Xianling's face was full of anger, and he replied: "From ancient times to the present, it is a crime to kill people indiscriminately, and today Master Pudu was mutilated to death by you, no matter what, you will inevitably be guilty of this crime." ā
After speaking, Gao County Ling added: "I am a local parent official, and you kill people in the land under my jurisdiction, and I put you in prison, which is my duty, what do you have to complain about?" ā
"Su has no complaints."
Looking at Gao Xianling, Su Ming said again: "But the master of Napudu in your mouth, he has long been possessed by demons and has become a puppet of the demons, if I don't kill him, I am afraid that this place will be ruined in the future." ā
"Is it a sin for me to exterminate demons for the people of this land?"
Gao Xianling was silent for a moment, and then said: "Master Pudu is a senior monk of De'an Temple, and he was good at accumulating virtue during his lifetime, how can such a high monk be a demon in your mouth?" Don't talk nonsense! ā
Hearing this, Bai Miaowan, who was standing behind Su Ming, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes, staring at the Gao County Order in the court, which made him shudder.
"Okay, you're a dumb official! Mr. Su has great powers, and there is nothing in this world that can escape Mr. and his fire eyes! Mr. said that the old monk Napudu is a demon, then he must be a demon! ā
"You and other ordinary people dare to doubt Mr.'s words, and dare to blame Mr. for his actions of eliminating demons and saving people, it is really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, a group of people who don't know what to do!"
"Do you really want that true demon to harm the living beings around you and cause a catastrophe before you wake up?"
Bai Miaowan looked at Gao Xian Ling coldly, and the depressing aura emanating from her body made everyone in the court shudder and tremble.
Su Ming didn't know why Bai Miaowan was so angry, could it be that she came to her relatives today?
No, will foxes also come to relatives?
"Okay Miaowan, you can step back first."
Hearing Su Ming's words, Bai Miaowan said yes, and then put away her demonic power.
After the chill around him subsided, Su Ming looked at the high county order with fine sweat on his forehead, and said indifferently: "Lord County Order, I am not the only one who has seen the matter of Master Pudu's transformation into a demon, Li Zhutou and Master Chu can all testify for me." ā
Hearing this, Chu Yue hurriedly spoke; "Yes, Lord Gao, what Mr. Su said is indeed true, Master Pudu was indeed possessed by a demon, if it weren't for Su ............"
"Enough! The official will check the authenticity of this matter in the future! ā
Looking at Chu Yue, Gao Xian Ling was furious, if he hadn't come to beg Master Pudu to ask Master Pudu today, let Master Pudu help him rescue his son from the hands of demons, this kind of thing would not have happened after that.
didn't continue to be verbose, Gao County Ling directly ordered: "Come on, press down this villain who brutalized Master Pudu and put him in prison." ā
"You're really a bunch of people who don't know what to do!"
Bai Miaowan looked coldly at those who were holding the killing rod and preparing to catch Su Ming, and her body was filled with a terrifying demonic aura.
"Forget Miaowan, since the Gao County Order said that he would check this matter, let him investigate."
Just as Bai Miaowan was about to make a move, Su Ming hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, at this juncture, he didn't want to add one more trouble.
Seeing that Su Ming was honestly taken to the prison without any resistance on the way, Gao Xianling breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice:
"That young man and that beautiful woman are really extraordinary, alas~"
Hearing Gao County's sigh, the lord with a goatee walked up and said puzzledly: "Lord Gao, Li Zhutou's suggestion before can be described as the best policy. ā
"Why didn't you listen to Li Zhutou's suggestion and insist on imprisoning that young man with an extraordinary temperament?"
Hearing this, Gao Xianling smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to?" The De'an Temple behind Master Khanapoudu........ The connections I have made are extraordinary, and I heard that in recent years, there has been a prince who has had a deep relationship with De'an Temple. ā
"If I can't handle this matter of Master Pudu, and then let the people of De'an Temple think that my attitude is not good, and go to the prince's ear to talk nonsense, then my black gauze hat will not be able to keep, and I may even be sent to the frontier, and life is better than death."
"And although that young man doesn't seem to be a mortal person, he will only kill me at most, unlike those high-ranking people, who are all a bunch of old coins, and the means to make life worse than death are endless."
"So I'd rather offend that extraordinary young man than offend De'an Temple and the prince behind it."
Hearing this, the old lord Bo suddenly realized in an instant, and he also let out a long sigh.
Alas, the official level crushed people to death...........
..............
Night.
After disposing of the corpses of the Pu monks, and arranging the warrior monks who were still unconscious, Gao Xian Ling was able to rest.
Maybe he was too tired today, and after rejecting the idea of wanting to be intimate with the lady next to him, Gao Xianling quickly fell asleep.
In a trance, Gao Xianling suddenly saw an old man wearing a yellow and blue robe with a kind face.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this old man looked like the old man in the City God Temple in Qingshui Town!
"Cheng, Chenghuang Master!?"
The old city god slowly came to Gao Xianling, put away the kindness on his face, and scolded sharply:
"Gao Hualin, you are guilty!"
Gao Hualin looked confused and said, "I don't know Lord Chenghuang, what is the crime of the student?" ā
The old city god looked angry and replied: "Today, there are all demons and demons around Qingshui Town, but fortunately, an immortal has taken action to subdue demons and eliminate demons, which has saved the people around Qingshui Town from the disaster of life." ā
"And you dare to offend this immortal who saves the world and puts him in prison! This sin is so great that there is no one in the world! ā
"Fortunately, that immortal didn't bother with you, otherwise even if the entire Dayu Dynasty came out of the country, it wouldn't be able to stop that immortal!"
"I can't save your life!"
Hearing this, Gao Hualin didn't react for a while, and was stunned in place.
When he remembered the young man with an extraordinary temperament who was ordered by himself and put in prison today, he realized who the immortal he was referring to.
For a while, Gao Hualin was terrified in his heart, and cold sweat was like rain.
"IāI actually imprisoned an immortal!"
