Seeing Tang Shi's tragic situation, Ye Ming smiled and said:

"I'm going to die, why do you care about these little things?"

"Dead?"

Tang Shi was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes slowly looked at his right arm.

The straw-like tentacles on the long-handled spoon squirmed, sucking up the nutrients from him again.

At this time, how could Tang Shi, who was already only the size of an ordinary human body, withstand such an absorption, his face was extremely frightened, and he was sucked into a dry corpse in an instant.

After sucking Tang Shi dry, the tentacles on the long-handled spoon quickly retracted and disappeared.

The spoon also became smaller and the same as it had been at the beginning.

The difference is that this spoon actually moves, and it is going to fly away with a slight shake.

As soon as he flew up, he was grabbed by Ye Ming.

The spoon seemed to sense the danger and trembled and tried to break free.

This is obviously useless, and you can't break away from Ye Ming's hand.

I also saw tentacles growing on the handle of the spoon, wanting to root on Yeming's arm.

Before it could be touched, it was bounced away by an invisible force and could not succeed.

Yeming took the spoon and flicked it lightly with his fingers.

As if frightened, the spoon did not dare to move any longer, and fell silent.

Seeing that the spoon had become the same as an ordinary item, Yeming smiled slightly and put it away casually.

Miao Tong, who had continuously hit Tang Shi on the other side, did not change back, but due to the excessive use of demonic power, the reason in his eyes was largely dissipated.

When he saw the night, his body moved, and he rushed up and hit.

For Miaotong's sudden attack, Ye Ming was not surprised, took out the water hyacinth vine with his backhand, and threw it out.

Miaotong, who lost his mind, only became brutal and wild, but it was easier to deal with.

In the face of the flying water hyacinth vine, he rushed hard without dodging or dodging, and as expected, he was entangled in his fist.

Another punch was raised, to be knocked down.

But Nightlight had already flashed behind her, tapping the back of her head.

Miaotong's body stiffened, her eyes rolled, and she fainted.

At this time, Yeming didn't avoid anything, and grabbed Miaotong, who was about to fall to the ground.

Looking at it again, the lines on its surface dissipated, and the breath returned to normal.

I checked my pulse and found that it was just a little overconsumed, and nothing else.

In this way, there is no rush to wake her up, and she can rest more.

The monster that Tang Shi turned into was solved, and the people who had been hiding before began to come out in twos and threes.

Seeing that with the county government as the center, dozens of buildings around it were all destroyed, and at a glance, the scene was shocking.

Seeing Miaotong sleeping in Yeming's arms again, everyone thought that the mage was seriously injured and was moved.

Afraid of disturbing the mage's rest, the person who came out spontaneously came to the two of them, kowtowed three times, and then got up and left.

In this way, someone took the lead, and the follow-up people also stepped forward one after another, quietly, and kowtowed to Miaotong one by one to thank him.

Seeing this, Yeming glanced at Miaotong, who was a little tired between his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and let the people thank him in their own way......

......

Carrying Miaotong to an intact room, she put her on the couch, covered it with a quilt, and retreated out of the room softly.

At this time, Yan Zhutou also came back, and when he saw the appearance of the city, he was also smacked.

When he saw Yeming come out, he said:

"Mr. Shanyuan, now that the county government is ruined, all my colleagues have also been ......

What should we do? ”

Ye Ming smiled: "The county government is ruined, but who said that everyone else is dead?" ”

"Ah, not dead? But aren't they all eaten? ”

Yan Zhutou looked confused, and he couldn't figure out the situation.

"Go and cut open Tang Shi's stomach and bring everything inside."

Yeming's words made Yan Zhutou incomprehensible, but he still chose to do it.

When he came to Tang Shigan's corpse, he cut open his abdomen with a knife.

Because it was a dried corpse, no blood flowed out, and when it was opened, it was found that there was a pile of paper figures in its abdomen.

Seeing this, Yan Zhutou was a little strange, and when he reached out and touched it, he felt that it was an ordinary paper figure, nothing special.

Take out all the paper figurines in exactly the same number as the number of colleagues who are being eaten.

At this point, Yan Zhutou naturally had a guess, and the movements of the person holding the paper became cautious, for fear of being damaged.

Bring all the paper figures to the night and lay them on the ground one by one as instructed.

Seeing that Yan Zhutou laid out the paper figure, Ye Ming waved his hand, and there was a trace of light sprinkled on his fingertips.

The paper figures changed instantly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a group of living people.

Yan Zhu's head looked at it and recognized that these were the colleagues who had been eaten.

Everyone on the ground looked like they had just woken up, and they couldn't figure out the current situation.

Later, after understanding what was going on, everyone was surprised and afraid, and hurriedly kowtowed to Yeming to thank him.

Yeming sent everyone else away, leaving only Yan Zhutou and the master.

When the master saw Yeming, he was terrified, and knelt down and said:

"My lord, no, fairy, what do you command?"

"Although Tang Shi is dead now, the mess left behind still has to be cleaned up, and it will not work for me to eliminate people's dead accounts.

Over the years, you have made a lot of money while serving as the county magistrate, right? ”

"Back to my lordship, we ...... I did make a lot of money. ”

"There are a lot of people who have been unjustly killed, right?"

"My lord, we can't be blamed for this.

After all, it is on the territory of four and three merchants, if you don't go along with them......"

The master said, sneaking a glance at Yan Zhu's head.

This is a rare outlier, different from most people in his family, and has a strong temperament.

It is also because of this that I often clash with them.

Yeming asked a few more words, but the master didn't dare to hide it, and explained the general crimes.

Subsequently, Yeming asked him to take out the money and food he had embezzled over the years to make up for the people who were damaged by this incident.

After the explanation was completed, the master was taken down by the head of the strict arrest to carry it out.

After seeing off the two of them, Yeming walked into the courtyard and looked at the air:

"Since you are here, please come down and talk about it."

The person who came from the air was none other than the Chenghuang Division of Weichang County.

The county town god instructed the other yin to wait in place, and fell alone in the courtyard to greet the night.

"Xiaguan Weichang County Chenghuang, Lou is here.

Thank you Lord Ye this time, otherwise I don't know how much damage will be caused by this incident. ”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "When you go out under the door, it is called good fate, Lord Lou should not be called wrong." ”

"Lord Good Karma."

"Lord Lou is the ancestor of the Lou family?"

"Exactly, when he was born in the past, he had a good name, and after his death, he was worshiped by his neighbors, so he received the position of this city god, and it has been more than 130 years."

"Now that the four families and three businesses are exhausted and are about to collapse, what does Lord Lou think?"

"Xia Guan is not a living person for a long time, and he doesn't care about the rise and fall of the world."

Regarding Lou Zai's answer, Ye Ming was not surprised, and said:

"There will be changes in Pingbo Mansion in the future, and I'm afraid Lord Lou will have to contribute."

Lou Zai heard this, sighed lightly and said:

"The previous Tang Shi was not that we were unwilling to contribute, but that we were helpless.

This person is in the book of the Yin Division, and he should have died two years ago.

But I accidentally got the strange spoon, which can lock its soul and forcibly continue its life.

We can't shake it with hooks, locks, flags, flags, etc., and we can only let it go, so that today's events ......"

Speaking of this, Lou Zai was ashamed in his face, and said to Yeming:

"Although we are not as powerful as his earthly city god, we have what we need, so why not be afraid of death!"

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Lord Lou has misunderstood, I am not talking about this, but I am not asking for the guilt of Xingshi." ”

After that, after communicating with Lou for a while, the others retreated.

When they were gone, Nightlight pulled out the spoon again.

It was one of the seven treasures he was looking for, the Gluttonous Spoon.

This thing is devoured excessively, does not know how to be full, will cultivate the host, and when the host grows to a certain extent, it will be devoured and become its own nutrients.

The thing will constantly change hosts to meet its needs, but it will never be full.

When he first came to Weichang County, Yeming found a problem, and after seeing the situation of Tang Shi, he knew that he would soon be eaten by this thing, so he left a secret hand on the body of the county officials.

It is also because of this that after everyone is eaten, they will become paper figures and survive in their bodies.

Getting the gluttony spoon, Yeming was in a good mood.

As for the other six, they all have their own characteristics.

I was playing with the gluttonous spoon, but I heard the door open in the back.

Looking back, I found that Miaotong had already gotten up.

Seeing that Yeming was outside, Miao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to step forward immediately, but as if she thought of something, she snorted a little angrily:

"You guy, it's too slow, I beat that dead fat man before you arrived!"

Ye Ming didn't discuss this issue with her, and said with a smile:

"It seems that it's okay, there's a lot of trouble here, let's go, go back and explain the situation to Lord Yuan, there needs to be a new magistrate here to take over."

......

After a few days of busyness, all the materials sent to King Fu were finally transported and loaded onto the big ship.

Yuan Zhixin personally saw him off by the dock, watching more than a dozen large ships go against the current towards Mekong Province.

Yuan Zhongdao, who was guarding his side:

"My lord, the materials and a large number of young and strong laborers under the four three merchants have been sent away."

Yuan Zhixin nodded, glanced at the boundless ocean in the distance, and slowly exhaled and said:

"Go home, get ready for action."

Since they have not yet started to act, the four three merchants have not yet known that Yuan Zhixin intends to have a showdown, but they have not jumped over the wall to do some extreme things.

There were no accidents on the way back.

It's just that not long after entering the city, before I arrived at the palace, I saw a thunderbolt suddenly sounding in the distance.

This time, the thunder was relatively scattered, with a few falling in the streets and alleys, and a few falling indoors.

There were quite a few people around who saw this scene, because it had happened twice in a row before.

The curiosity of the people was greater than their fear, and they all gathered around that side.

Many people are speculating that this time "Lei Gong" punished the wicked man again.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin immediately asked the team to turn around and go over to check the situation.

Soon I saw the alley where the incident occurred.

When everyone saw the prefect come to see in person, they didn't dare to be congested, so they consciously stood on both sides and made way for them.

Yuan Zhixin stepped out of the carriage and inspected it for himself.

Five corpses were found in the alley, all of them charred, apparently caused by lightning strikes.

Someone nearby recognized the deceased, but it was a few scoundrels from the city.

Without waiting for Yuan Zhixin to go to the courtyard that was struck by lightning, there were good deeds who took the initiative to bring people.

It was a young man and a woman, and the body of a woman in her thirties was still being held on a cart.

When the young man saw Yuan Zhixin, he immediately knelt down and told him the cause and effect.

The man's father died young, and he was dependent on his widowed mother.

Another fiancée who has had a marriage contract since childhood, because the family is poor and cannot afford the dowry, he wants to dissolve the marriage contract and prevent his fiancée from suffering with him.

But the woman was unwilling, saying that he would not marry.

It's just that the woman's family has to ask for a dowry, otherwise it is not allowed.

The man's mother was helpless, so she decided to remarry in exchange for a sufficient dowry.

Who knows, not long after the dowry money and goods were collected, it was stolen and could not be found anywhere.

When his mother saw that the dowry was stolen, she was so angry that she died from a hanging beam.

The man was a dutiful son, and when he saw his mother die, he hanged himself.

When his fiancée heard about this, she also wept and committed suicide.

It's just that not long after Fang died, he saw a thunderstorm descend from the sky, killing several people in the alley.

And thunder fell into his house, and he killed both men and women, but his mother did not live.

Yuan Zhixin learned of the cause and effect, and immediately sent people to a few places where he often moved to look for it.

Soon, a bag of money was found, which was the man's lost dowry.

When everyone in the audience saw this, they all felt that the sky had eyes, punishing evil and promoting good.

Yuan Zhixin looked at the corpse of the dead but not alive, and then looked at the empty sky.

didn't say much, just said to Yuan Zhong:

"Go back to the house."
