Chapter 41 The sins are monstrous
Aries County, in the cell.
The man in prison uniform sat in a corner with disheveled hair and smelly smell.
His cheeks were thin, his spirits were depressed, and his expression seemed dazed.
He knew that outside the cell, there must be sorrow everywhere and hunger everywhere.
The disaster relief grain and disaster relief silver from the court had arrived long ago.
However, the grain was sealed in the warehouse and was not allowed to be distributed, and the silver was divided by the county officials.
He didn't want to be with the crowd. He thought he would be beaten into meat sauce like Zhao Zhong and others, but the old demon left him behind.
The old demon used him to appease the county magistrate and others. After the famine, Zhou Lie was a scapegoat, who was ruined, insulted the clan, and had a bad reputation for his life for thousands of years.
But in fact, Zhou Lie understood that after the famine, not only would he die, but the county magistrate and others would die. The old demon had no intention of giving them a way to live, but just gave them a little comfort to them... But the county magistrate and others were not fools, they just deceived themselves to survive for a while.
"How many people will die this time?"
Zhou Lie raised his head, his tone was bitter, and he sighed in a low voice.
"More than 80,000 people have died."
Suddenly, a sound came from outside the cell, extremely cold.
Zhou Lie turned his head and saw that most of the officials in the county government had already arrived outside the prison cell. At that moment, he was angry and his eyes were scattered, and he shouted: "You must die a good death!"
"No one knows whether we can die well, but you may not be able to die happily."
The chief clerk took out the key, opened the door lock, raised his left hand and showed a cold bone-clearing knife.
Zhou Lie roared angrily and rushed towards him.
With a bang!
The chief clerk kicked him down with one kick.
"I haven't eaten enough, I can't stand firmly, do you want to strangle me to death?"
The chief clerk walked in, and behind him, the county magistrate and others also entered the cell one by one.
"Zhou Lie, do you feel that you are suffering in the cell?" The county magistrate said slowly, "But it is much better than us. These days, the old demon has forced us. Now Aries County is starving everywhere, and I don't know how many people have died. Some have starved to death, some have died of illness, and some have been eaten. We look at the purgatory on earth every day, and you are just facing a wall in the cell. Isn't it much better than us?"
"Shameless! Isn't the purgatory caused by you?" Zhou Lie disheveled his hair, shouted loudly, and roared, and turned out to be like a ghost.
"It was caused by us, but we were helpless." The chief clerk grinned and said, "You should thank us. How many people have starved to death in Aries County these days? But you can still eat a bite of food in the cell without starving to death... Those hungry people eat are hungry, but fortunately you are still flesh-and-blooded, so it must taste better."
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Lie was shocked when he heard this.
"Your daughter reported this to the Yuantian Realm and sent it back to the Guangshan Realm. Now that the incident has happened, we cannot escape death." The county magistrate took the bone-cutting knife and said sternly: "We will execute Lingchi, and even cause harm to the Nine Clans. All of this is a good thing your Zhou family did!"
"What?"
Zhou Lie was stunned for a moment, then went crazy, laughing loudly, saying, "It happened... It happened... OK! OK! OK!"
His daughter escaped from this purgatory land.
His daughter also passed on the truth!
Even if he dies, he can die without regrets!
He pointed to everyone in front of him and laughed: "You want to defame my innocence, but now I, Mr. Zhou, die, will be remembered forever, not like you, for thousands of years!"
"You can't die!"
Suddenly, a faint sound came from the cell.
The county magistrate who originally wanted to tear Zhou Lie apart when he picked up the bone-clearing knife, was stagnant.
Many officials felt endless pressure, like a mountain, pressing them down heavily.
Except for Zhou Lie, everyone in the prison fell to the ground and was pressed to the ground by invisible pressure.
Everyone looked in the sound.
At the other corner of the cell.
There is a young Taoist priest who is leaning against the wall.
He has a calm expression, extraordinary temperament and cold eyes.
He had a sword in his hand, holding a whisk in his hand, looking at everyone's eyes as if he was looking at a group of dying ants.
"You..." the county magistrate said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"
"Don't you recognize me?"
Taoist Master Baoshou said calmly: "That day, I cut off the river with a sword, let go of the Zhou family's daughter, and shocked your subordinates. But at that time, I didn't know that such a big thing was involved in the back, so I didn't kill those messes. They should have come back to report it."
After saying this, he glanced over and saw that these officials were still confused and confused.
Taoist Priest Baoshou frowned slightly. Did the men in black escape without returning to Aries County, but ran away directly? Or were they killed by the people from the Demon Hunting Mansion halfway?
He moved slightly, but he didn't care too much. He just looked at the officials in front of him and said, "It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not. What's important is that you have a heinous sin..."
His voice fell and he reached out to press.
Invisible pressure rolled down.
These officials couldn't help but wailed loudly, screamed, their bodies trembled, and cold sweat broke out in an instant.
Taoist Master Baoshou's palm seemed invisible, but in fact the pressure of the true qi had crushed their meridian bones inch by inch.
"It's so cheap for you to kill you."
Taoist Master Baoshou said, "Save you, wait for the court's law to deal with it. When you are executed by Lingchi, if I have free time, I will go to see the ceremony and give you a ride, so that you can lose your souls at that time!"
All the officials were lying on the ground, trembling all over, and extremely painful. Among them, some were filled with resentment, some were regretful, and some wanted to ask for forgiveness, but under the severe pain, they all turned into trembling moans.
A snap!
The shackles on Zhou Lie's body were broken.
He stared at the scene in front of him and could not wake up for a long time.
Already ready to kill him, suddenly he turned around and had to escape from heaven. However, these beasts all lay on the ground, unable to move, and could only wail and scream.
"Zhou Lie, let's go."
"This Taoist priest..." Zhou Lie was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down and said, "It was the Taoist priest who saved the little girl, so that the tragic disaster in Aries County could be revealed?"
"That's true."
Taoist Master Baoshou stretched out his hand and helped him up, saying, "You are a man who stands tall and does not need to kneel down and worship me. But now Aries County is in great trouble, like a purgatory. After you escape, you will immediately run towards the fire. Someone will be there to guide you."
Zhou Lie couldn't help but hesitate and whispered: "The victims in Aries County?"
Taoist Baoshou sighed: "The tragic situation in Aries County is more cruel than you think. Not only can you help, but you will be worried about your life. Listen to me, I will run away from my life. As for the rest of the matter, there will be people who will be punished."
His voice fell, but before Zhou Lie could respond, his eyes froze.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the cell.
"Sir, the old god's disciple has come to the county government office and is about to discuss matters with you."
The little official came to report, and then he saw the officials in the prison lying on the ground and wailing, and his heart was shocked.
In the other corner, there was a young Taoist priest and Zhou Lie who looked here.
Seeing this scene, he felt panicked and turned around and ran away.
However, as soon as he took a step, he fell to the ground.
"Master, it's unjust... the villain is innocent..."
The minor official raised his head and screamed, "It's all they colluding with the devil and killing the people. I'm just a minor official, I have no power to make decisions, it really has nothing to do with me..."
Taoist Master Baoshou mentioned him and said slowly: "You know the tragic situation outside, corpses are everywhere, and they also know that they collude with demons and deliberately create famine. More than 100,000 people die with their eyes open, but they still serve them and are not accomplices. You are not considered the chief evil and are considered an accomplice. This time, more than 100,000 lives are involved. According to the law, even the accomplices will inevitably be sentenced to death. They have more than 100,000 deaths, and you are not innocent."
He threw the slight official into the cell, then dropped the lock, broke the key, and said lightly: "Before you starve to death, someone will come to pick you up."
