Chapter 976 A Bolt from the Blue
"stop!"
Old Man Dou shouted loudly and rushed over with a livid face. He glared at the government officials angrily and said, "Where did you come from and dared to break into the back house of my Dou family? Do you really think that my Dou family is so easy to bully? !”
The leader of the men danced the fire stick, looked at Old Man Dou with a smile and said, "Sir, please calm down. I am also on an errand under orders. If you don't plan to kill the younger ones openly, please make way for me, little one." It’s good to go back and do business.”
"Who are you, whose orders are you following, and what errands are you on?"
Old Man Dou calmed down and quickly realized something was wrong. These dozen government officials were obviously very skilled in martial arts and fearless, and they still showed no fear when facing him, the old prince.
Obviously, they are not real government officials.
So now the question is, who are they?
"Returning to my husband, I am a yamen servant of Chang'an County. Naturally, I came to take away the body of the green bamboo girl who was made into human wax on the order of the county magistrate..."
Dare the officials from Chang'an County government attack the Dou family's back house?
I believe you!
Old Man Dou cursed loudly in his heart, but he still forced a smile on his face and said: "This brother lives in Chang'an. We don't see each other when we look up. If you are willing to step back, I, the Dou family, will be deeply grateful. This belongs to me." With a little care, if you are willing to give in, the Dou family will give you generous gifts in the future..."
As he spoke, Old Man Dou took out a peacock jade pendant that looked valuable.
The leading man blinked, reached out to take the jade pendant, played with it for a while, and stuffed it into his arms.
A smile appeared on Old Man Dou's face, but then he heard the man say with a smile: "It's easy to do things if you have money. Brothers, I have already collected the money. Let's not make it difficult for the old man. We have agreed to withdraw." One step, let’s take ten steps back, don’t let people say we don’t do anything for money!”
Before he finished speaking, all the government officials stepped back one after another, but they were facing the courtyard gate at this time, and the direction they retreated was towards the Dou family's mourning hall.
Seeing this scene, Old Man Dou turned pale and pointed at the man with trembling fingers. His old body was also a little shaky.
The man laughed heartily, not caring that Old Dou was angry with him, and immediately called everyone to go straight to the mourning hall.
When they arrived at the mourning hall, Miss Luzhu's body was still sitting cross-legged next to the coffin.
When Hong Cheng saw the girl's appearance, he couldn't help sighing, and with a wave of his hand, he directed the people behind him to carry her.
At this moment, thunder suddenly broke out in the sky, and a deafening sound came from the horizon, attracting the attention of the entire Chang'an city.
Hong Cheng frowned, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He saw countless blue and white thunder surging between the clouds, as if they would fall from the sky in the next second.
Seeing this scene, Hong Cheng felt an unknown premonition in his heart.
At this moment, the government servant in the mourning hall exclaimed, but he was blocked by the golden light and could not move the corpse even half.
"……How is this going?"
Hong Cheng and a group of Baiqisi Yamen officials looked at the green bamboo girl whose body was shrouded in golden light in astonishment.
Dou Huai'en, who was chasing after him with the nursing home, saw this scene and felt happy. He immediately pretended to snort angrily: "My Dou family has such a long tradition of incense. The mourning hall has its own ancestors' protection, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous!"
Hearing these words, Hong Cheng and others were shocked. They all stepped back and looked at the mourning hall in surprise and confusion.
A smile appeared on Dou Huaien's face. Just when he was about to continue to intimidate Hong Cheng and others, thunder suddenly broke out in the sky, and a blue-white thunderbolt as thick as a bucket fell from the sky, splitting Dou Huaien into a charred corpse.
This sudden change made the government officials and nursing staff inside and outside the mourning hall stunned.
When the strong smell of burnt meat spread, everyone finally came to their senses.
"Qiang——Qiang——"
The guards of the Dou family threw away their long knives and fell to the ground with their legs limp, looking at the standing charred corpse in horror.
Hong Cheng and a group of elite Baiqisi also opened their eyes wide and stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence.
At this moment, in the mourning hall behind him, the note nailed to the coffin suddenly floated up and spontaneously ignited out of thin air in front of everyone. In an instant, it turned into fly ash and completely dissipated.
Hong Cheng stared blankly at this scene. When he came to his senses, he gritted his teeth and quickly directed the government servants around him to remove the coffin board and place it next to Miss Luzhu.
Sure enough, this time, the golden light no longer appeared on Miss Luzhu's body.
Hong Cheng and the elite Baiqisi suppressed the shock in their hearts and respectfully carried up the girl Luzhu who was sitting cross-legged. Then they carried the body of the girl Luzhu out of the mourning hall.
At this time, the Dou family members were already frightened by this supernatural sight and did not dare to move.
Seeing Hong Cheng and others carrying the human wax statue, not only did they not dare to step forward, but they also stepped back in horror, made way for themselves, and watched helplessly as they carried away the body of Miss Luzhu.
After walking out of the Dou family's gate, Hong Cheng and the others were still frightened.
The elite Baiqisi on the left and right couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "How damn evil!"
"Shut up, everyone! Do your job well!"
Hong Cheng gave a low shout, and all the elite cavalrymen fell silent.
Hong Cheng resisted the temptation not to look at the green bamboo girl on the coffin board. He just stared straight ahead and rushed towards the Chang'an County Government amidst the faint thunder in the sky.
Not long after, Hongcheng and his party finally carried the body of Miss Luzhu over.
The surrounding people all moved out of the way, looking at the stiff corpse sitting cross-legged with resentment and sadness in their eyes.
As the saying goes, the death of rabbits and foxes are sad. Things hurt their own species. Even wild animals do this, let alone humans?
Yun Ye stood at the gate of the county government office and saw the complicated looks in the eyes of the people outside the county government office. He knew that the time had come, so he said angrily: "Folks, please take a closer look. This is the green bamboo that the Dou family thief used." Human wax made of girls!”
"The Dou family is an evil thief who has lost his conscience and sinned to the heavens. If man does not eradicate his evil deeds, God will punish him!!"
"Boom!"
Following Yun Ye's roar, a deafening roar of thunder was heard in the sky.
The county magistrates and magistrates standing in the county government hall all trembled and looked at the dark clouds in the sky in awe.
Hong Cheng and the others who were carrying the coffin board suddenly raised their heads and looked at the upright young marquis at the gate of the county government office in disbelief.
They all saw the spontaneously combusting note, so they naturally knew what was written on it... Could it be?
Hong Cheng's eyes moved slightly, and the look he looked at Yun Ye became more and more unbelievable.
At the same time, the people outside the county government were also shocked by 'God's' response.
The Yun family members among the common people recovered from the shock, suppressed their excitement, raised their arms and shouted.
"The Dou family is an evil thief who has lost all conscience. If people don't get rid of him, God will punish him!"
At first, it was just the manpower arranged by Yun Ye in advance who was chanting, but as time passed, more and more people began to echo, and countless voices gathered from all directions, soaring into the sky and echoing in the sky.
Such an uproar of voices not only passed through the county government office, but even reached Xinghuafang.
In the Dou family's residence, Old Man Dou had not slept all night and was mentally weak. Just now he saw Miss Luzhu being carried away. He was so angry that he trembled all over. He rolled his eyes and passed out.
Fortunately, the old servant beside him rescued him in time and woke him up by pinching him.
As soon as he woke up, Old Man Dou heard faint shouts coming from outside the courtyard wall.
"The Dou family is an evil thief who has lost all conscience. If people don't get rid of him, God will punish him!"
The sixteen words that were exactly the same as those on the note were like a sharp sword, piercing into the chests of everyone in the Dou family, making Old Man Dou and all the Dou family members turn pale, as if they were in despair.
"God's will...this is God's will!"
Old Man Dou fell to the ground and muttered to himself in despair.
In such a desperate atmosphere, the Dou family nurse finally couldn't hold on any longer. He immediately threw away the long knife in his hand, screamed in fear, and ran frantically outside the hospital.
"Boom!"
The moment the man stepped out of the door of Dou's house with his left foot, a barrel-thick thunder struck from the sky, splitting him into a charred corpse.
The guards who were also fleeing behind them immediately stopped and stared in horror and despair at the corpses at the door that were blown into ashes by the wind.
"This this……"
They retreated in fear, and some who were not willing to die like this even tried to escape over the wall.
But it is a pity that once God has eyes, it is impossible for them to take advantage of the loopholes. Whether they are walking through the gate or climbing over the high wall, as long as they have sinful karma, they will be chopped into charred corpses by the thunder falling from the sky.
However, not everyone will be punished by God.
Several younger servants who had just entered the house to work escaped from the gate without incident, including the young man who escaped with his life at the hands of Lin Zhongtian that night.
Seeing this scene, the servants in the Dou family finally couldn't sit still.
Whether they were servants, maids, or private soldiers guarding the courtyard, they all scrambled to escape.
At the same time, the thunder that struck Xinghuafang one after another finally attracted the attention of the people outside the county government office.
They looked in the direction of Xinghuafang in shock, as if they were shocked by the scene of thunder coming from the sky.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted excitedly: "It's the Dou family!"
"The place where the thunder struck was the Dou family in Xinghuafang!"
"A bolt from the blue, a bolt from the blue!"
"Even God can't stand this!"
The people were talking to each other excitedly, their voices buzzing like bees.
The people in Guanzhong are not ischemic. Someone shouted to go and see the Dou family. The dense crowd surged instantly. People continued to join along the way. The team grew stronger and stronger. Finally, the whole city was filled with excitement. situation.
Looking at the people rushing towards Xinghuafang like a torrent, Hong Cheng suppressed the fear in his heart and licked his dry lips.
"Marquis Yun, with this posture, let alone a Dou family, it is enough to attack the palace, right?"
Yun Ye stood next to the coffin board, glanced at Hong Cheng, then turned to look at Miss Luzhu, and said softly: "This is good, just to let the wealthy families in Chang'an see what it means to be fearful of people's words, and what it means to be fearful of people's opinions." sky!"
