Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Chapter 129: Confiscation of property by the county magistrate

Chang Wei is already in the middle stage of foundation building. With him taking action, it will be easy for Taoist Dong to capture him.

Mrs. Shen from Niubi Town was shocked when she saw the yamen runner gave her one hundred taels of silver.

I was even more surprised when I heard that it was a gift from the county magistrate.

When Aunt Shen found out the county magistrate's name and appearance, she laughed with joy.

Who would have thought that the young man in rags has now become a county magistrate.

After inquiring with Aunt Shen, Liao Tong learned that the Gao family had been wiped out by an evil ghost three years ago, and several servants had died.

After hearing the news, combined with the county magistrate's tone at the time, Liao Tong broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that this matter must be related to the county magistrate.

And there was Chang Wei, the gatekeeper at Fengyinju. Taoist Dong, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, didn't even finish a single round under his hands. It was really scary...

From then on, Liao Tong respected and feared Chu Wen, and never dared to cheat again.

……

The next morning.

Chu Wen sat upright in the lobby.

The head of Niubei Town, two village chiefs, and Taoist Dong knelt in the hall.

"Oh!"

Chu Wen slammed the gavel and shouted loudly:

"How dare you, Dong Xiong! You actually used a living person for sacrifice! Do you know your crime?"

"I don't know."

Taoist Dong was dissatisfied. "I am petitioning for the people and maintaining stability. What crime have I committed? I have cultivated myself and am under the supervision of the Sitian. How can you, a mortal county magistrate, arrest me?"

Chu Wen, who had a bad temper, couldn't tolerate such words and was so angry that he almost jumped out and hit someone.

He wanted to deal with Taoist Dong, so he picked up the warrant and threw it, shouting:

"Hit me!"

As the order fell to the ground, four yamen runners immediately stepped forward and tried to pin Taoist Dong to the ground.

Taoist Dong refused to give in and struggled desperately.

A few yamen runners pulled and pulled the soul-trapping talisman that was pasted on Taoist Dong off.

As soon as the talisman fell, the true energy in Taoist Dong's body immediately returned to normal.

He was overjoyed, and with some luck he shook off the four yamen runners and ran away.

Just after running two steps, Taoist Dong felt someone grabbing his hair, and then pulled back with great force, and Taoist Dong fell backwards.

After he fell to the ground, he looked up and saw that the person pulling his hair was the young county magistrate.

Taoist Dong was shocked and suspicious. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw the county magistrate raising his foot and kicking him in the waist.

The kick came with the force of wind and thunder, so fast that Taoist Dong could not dodge it in time and had to block it with his hands.

"Click"

The sound of breaking hand bones was heard.

Taoist Dong was kicked into the air by Chu Wen, breaking two screens in succession, and then crashing heavily into the brick wall.

Then it landed with a loud bang, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Taoist Dong spat out a mouthful of blood. He tried to struggle to get up, but it was in vain.

The yamen runners were stunned by this scene. When they looked up, they saw that the brick wall had several cracks caused by Taoist Dong.

"Hit me!" Chu Wen said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the four yamen runners hurried forward to put a talisman to trap Taoist Dong, and then dragged him to the center of the county government office, where the two yamen runners in charge of the execution started beating him with sticks.

"Boom bang bang..."

Amid the dull sound of beatings, a group of yamen runners looked at the county magistrate in astonishment.

Kick the man three feet away with one kick!

Is the adult so powerful?

Especially Master Xu and Liao Tong, they knew Taoist Dong before and knew that he had high cultivation level.

Now, seeing that the county magistrate had kicked Taoist Dong so hard that he could not stand up, both of them were almost stunned.

They looked at each other, too shocked to speak.

After all, Taoist Dong has made great progress in Qi training and his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people. He can still shout loudly even when being hit by the killing stick.

"If you don't offer sacrifices to the river god, the whole town will suffer! Sacrifice two people to save the whole town! What crime have I committed?"

Chu Wen was too lazy to pay attention to him and decided to beat him into submission first.

Magistrate Chu slowly walked back to the court, looked around at everyone, and said loudly:

"Catch all the evildoers who take human lives lightly."

"Yes! Your lord!"

How could the officers dare to say no? At this moment, even if Chu Wen asked them to eat shit, they would answer loudly.

If nothing else, that kick just now was so fucking scary.

"You bastard! I ask you this! Killing one person can save ten thousand people, but will you kill or not?"

Dong Dao vomited blood and roared with his teeth bared.

If Chu Wen hadn't known that this man had once played the trick of marrying a wife to bring good luck, he would have been really frightened by his righteousness.

Chu Wen looked at Taoist Dong with a sneer and said:

"Since you asked, I will teach you. If I really encounter this situation, I will first find out who put me in this unreasonable situation where I have to kill tens of thousands of people if I don't kill one person. If it's an individual, I will get rid of that person. If it's a group, I will eliminate the group. If it's a system, I will change the system instead of killing an innocent person."

After these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent; even the two bailiffs in charge of beating the prisoners paused.

Taoist Dong opened his mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but he didn't know how to start.

Chu Wen raised his hand to signal to stop the execution and said in a cold voice:

"We have now found out that the criminal Dong Xiong has committed lynching and murder, his methods are cruel and his influence is bad. According to Qingyun law, his property shall be confiscated and he shall be executed immediately."

"Ding"

The order was signed.

"Put the criminal in cell A! He will be executed at noon tomorrow!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

The village chief and the two village chiefs were so frightened when they heard this that they trembled all over.

The two women who drowned were chosen by the two village chiefs and then handed over to the village head personally.

The village chief then sent people to tie him up and sink him into the river.

When they saw that Taoist Dong was sentenced to death, the three of them turned pale with fear, kowtowed continuously, and begged for mercy.

Chu Wen looked at the three people with contempt and said in a cold voice:

"The criminals Zha Baoyu, Du Yinzhu, and Lu Zhengde held important positions, but they ignored the law and acted recklessly. Not only did they not protect the people, they even disregarded their lives and treated the people like mustard seeds!"

"Those who kill must pay with their lives, and those who break the law must be punished! After a thorough investigation of the facts and interrogation of all the witnesses, the crime is unforgivable! According to the law, he is sentenced to death, and his property is confiscated."

After hearing this, the three were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and kept begging for mercy.

Chu Wen ignored him and continued:

"The families of the innocent casualties should be compensated. Thirty percent of the property seized by the four men should be returned to the county government, and seventy percent should be compensated to the survivors of this case."

"Xu County Magistrate is in charge of the confiscation of the property, and Director Li will provide compensation to the family members. Execute immediately."

"Yes! Your lord!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Master Xu and Li Yuner hurried out to receive the order.

The yamen runners were secretly happy.

Another house search!

Another bonus!

There was a county magistrate who confiscated property.

That’s great!

……

After everyone left, Chu Wen kept Liao Tong and asked him in detail about the matter of the Niu Jian River God.

Liao Tong did not dare to hide anything and told everyone in detail what he had seen and heard.

There is a Xuanshui River in Niujian Town, and there are many fishermen living on both sides of the river.

Ten days ago, dozens of villagers simultaneously dreamed of a tall and strong man.

In his dream, the strong man blamed the fishermen for fishing too hard, resulting in the extinction of fish and shrimp.

The villagers thought it was the river god's fault and were so scared that they never dared to go fishing in the river again.

However, Niujian Town has many mountains and little land, so many villagers rely on fishing for a living. If they don’t fish, they will starve to death.

That's why we invited Taoist Dong to cast a spell.

After Taoist Dong performed a ritual, he said that the river god was angry and that a living person was needed to be sacrificed to appease his wrath, and so what happened later happened.

After hearing this, Chu Wen became suspicious.

After returning to Fengyinju, he summoned five people, namely Shiqing, Huayi, Huayan, Qiaoyu and Xiangjun, from the gourd to discuss countermeasures.

After listening to Chu Wen's story, Xiangjun said:

"From what my brother said, there must be a river monster living in the river. I will go and kill it."

Chu Wen felt an inexplicable affinity for the goblin because of the poetic and flowery words, and he replied:

"Before we find out the truth, we must not start a killing spree. I heard from the county lieutenant that this might be the work of Taoist Dong, and the river god might not be involved."

Shi Qing said, "We have nothing to do tonight, so we can go out and relax, and ask the river god."

"Okay, that's it. Who should carry me?" Chu Wen said with a smile.

Qiao Yu jumped in front of Chu Wen after hearing this and said cheerfully, "It's my turn, it's my turn."

Xiu'er was very excited when she heard about the goblin. She hugged Chu Wen's arm and said coquettishly:

"Brother, brother, I want to go too. Please take me with you, okay?"

Chu Wen touched Xiu'er's head helplessly.

"Hua Yan, you carry Xiu'er on your back, remember to open the spiritual shield."

"Thank you, brother. You are the best."

"set off!"

"whoosh"

"call"

"Swish"

With the sound of breaking wind, the seven people disappeared from the spot in an instant.
