Chapter 142: Execution of Thieves(1/2)
"Traitor! I want you to die!"
It was Ji Xiaozhu. When she saw Duan Chen again and learned what Duan Chen had done, she was already furious.
A crisp sword chant appeared, and then a strange cyan long sword without a hilt suddenly appeared.
Ji Xiaozhu was like the legendary swordsman in his previous life, commanding the flying sword with his fingers, and the flying sword turned into phantoms in the air and flew towards Duan Chen.
Duan Chen frowned and said, "Miss Ji, you three siblings received a favor from someone, so you want to repay the kindness with enmity?"
Ji Xiaozhu paid no attention to it.
She couldn't tell whether she felt sympathy for those children or was out of anger at being deceived, maybe both. In short, her flying sword never missed the mark every time.
Duan Chen looked at Zuo Daoqi and said, "Sir, do you want to sit back and watch the immortals commit crimes in front of you?"
Zuo Daoqi chuckled, "Ji Xiaozhu, stop! Magistrate Sun, please read Duan Yuwai's charges."
After Ji Xiaozhu was tied up by him, she seemed to be afraid of him. Looking at the strange expressions of Ji Xiaofeng and the bearded young man, she put away her flying sword angrily.
Magistrate Sun looked bitter, but when he thought that the two princesses and the tiger guards Zuo Daoqi said were outside the city, he took out the charges from his arms and read.
"There is an evil thief named Duan Chen who colluded with gangsters to bring disaster to the warehouse. In the fifth year of Yuanji, he deceived the Wang family and the Liu family... a total of four thousand taels of silver. In the name of adoption, he carried out slave-keeping and used young children to forcibly stop him.
The government built roads and extorted 1,600 taels of silver..."
"The accusations are so numerous that they are too numerous to write down."
The county magistrate was naturally a Confucian scholar. Kang was very excited when he read the article, with an angry look on his face, "Duan Chen, if you don't kneel down and confess your sins, how long will it take?"
Zuo Daoqi squinted his eyes. Magistrate Sun was a wonderful man and very decisive.
As Magistrate Sun finished counting the crimes, the surrounding people suddenly started talking.
Zuo Daoqi didn't care about this. After Magistrate Sun read out the charges, it meant that he was justified, and because of the complete physical evidence, this crime was already a crime. He looked at Duan Chen and said, "Duan Chen, come with our family.
"
The smile on Duan Chen's face finally disappeared.
"Soap coat place?"
He suddenly took a step forward, his body was like lightning, his phantom was ever present, and he quickly rushed towards Zuo Dodge.
But in the process, the path suddenly changed, and there were only a few young eunuchs there.
No matter what he said, he was still a monk in the Forgotten Realm, and he was a decisive person. When Magistrate Sun read out the charges, he had already decided to run away.
Ji Xiaozhu and others also jumped to stop him, but they couldn't keep up with him and were about to run away.
"Catch your grandpa and live in the next life!"
only……
Before Duan Chen could express the anger in his heart about being suddenly arrested.
A spot of light appeared in the sky, blood red like raindrops.
Whoosh!
"Uh...well..." Duan Chen's body froze.
boom!
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.
Duan Chen's body fell heavily to the ground, and then he raised his head and looked at Dongfang Dan who suddenly appeared on the horizon with despair.
"Who are you?"
Dongfang Dan's voice is very feminine, with a very strange charm, which makes people fearful.
"Oriental Pill."
Zuo Daoqi also finally saw what Duan Chen was knocked down by. It turned out to be a bright red embroidery needle, the same color as Dongfang Dan's clothes. If you don't look carefully, you can't see clearly.
He looked sideways slightly, no longer looking directly at Dongfang Dan, and waved his hand to order someone to capture Duan Chen.
Unexpectedly, Duan Chen was more decisive than he thought.
When several young eunuchs were about to approach, they fell to the ground.
Zuo Dodge's expression changed.
Duan Chen is dead!
His death was unclear, as if he was being controlled remotely.
Even Dongfang Dan on the horizon frowned.
Zuo Daoqi only felt unlucky in his heart. He would have killed him if he had known it. An evil monk who had been practicing the Taoism for two years died inexplicably.

"It turns out that Duan Yuanwai is really a bad guy!"
An old man wearing a turban said in the crowd.
"I have already said that this piece of dust is not a good thing!"
A commoner seemed to recognize the old man who spoke, "Are you the young master of the Sun family in the south of the city more than ten years ago?"
"Young master, my family has been ruined by Duan Chen."
"Duan Chen sent a few children to beg, and my father just gave them some food to satisfy their hunger. Who knew that night, people would say that they were rich and unkind? Duan Chen led people to come to rob the rich and give to the poor, and destroyed my Sun family alive.
!”
The old man looked sad and angry.
Everyone was extremely surprised.
But at this moment, a beggar in the corner slowly spoke out.
"This guy is cruel and ruthless. He killed all my family members for bullying a young child, just because my eldest brother was pestered by a young child and pushed the young child."
In a few words, Duan Chen, who had brought trouble to his hometown with the help of a child, appeared in front of everyone.
Perhaps it was because Duan Chen was too powerful recently. After his death, people were discussing it, completely unmasking Duan Chen's hypocrisy.
But, did Duan Chen really adopt these children sincerely?
No one knew, and Zuo Dodge could only get a glimpse of it from his script panel.
Perhaps he was sincere in adopting these children at first, but later his intentions changed. The children he adopted were in ragged clothes, had lice on their heads, and had frostbite on their faces, which really could not be said to have a good life.
…
Dongfang Dan listened to the comments of the people behind him, and a hint of curvature appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You did a good job."
He is really charming.
Zuo Daoqi looked at his back, shook his head, and quickly threw away the strange thoughts in his heart.
The Queen Mother’s baby is the most fragrant!
He walked into Duan's house and found Duan Chen's mother. Just as he had guessed, she was also dead.
Zuo Daoqi sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether Duan Chen was alive or dead. According to Duan Chen's script, he should have been distracted and killed his mother a few years ago. Now that distraction has been found.
Not here anymore.
"Commander Dongfang, can you see anything?"
Dongfang Dan's expression remained unchanged and he shook his head slightly.
Zuo Daoqi shook his head, took one last look at Duan's house, and ordered Duan Chen's body to be burned together with his mother's body.
Regardless of whether Duan Chen is dead or not, just treat him as dead anyway.
After leaving the rest of the game to Magistrate Sun, Zuo Daoqi left with his men.
As for the young children in Duan's mansion, he had no control over them and handed them over to Magistrate Sun.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaozhu and others stayed behind, saying they wanted to take care of these young children.
He did not refuse. Originally, these people were all deceived, and with their backgrounds in Tantai Zhen of the Demon Slaying Mansion, even Niu Fu would not be easy to deal with, so it was most appropriate to leave them here.
Although Zuo Daoqi didn't talk much with Magistrate Sun, Zuo Daoqi could feel that he was a true Confucian, that is, a Confucian scholar who practiced the five virtues.
An official who is bullied by the gentry but still works for the people cannot be a wise scholar.
Presumably Magistrate Sun would not deceive them as fools.
"Thank you so much for your willingness to stay and help..." Magistrate Sun said, but he turned his attention to Zuo Daoqi, his eyes hesitant to speak.
Zuo Daoqi looked at the mountains in the distance and clasped his hands behind his back, "We and the army are going to the north to provide disaster relief, so there is no need for Magistrate Sun to say anything about suppressing bandits."
Magistrate Sun's face darkened. He had news here. The bandit had a close relationship with Duan Chen. Once Duan Chen died, the bandits in the mountain would most likely come down again.
Naturally, he can also report it to Kyoto, but since he is in a humble position and has little power, the report will most likely not reach the people who can issue orders.
So after knowing that the two princesses traveled with three thousand tiger guards, they had some ideas.
Zuo Daoqi glanced at him and said, "I will ask the two princesses to write a memorial and go to Kyoto to have people come over to suppress the bandits. As for the tiger guards who are on this trip, they want to protect the safety of the princesses, but they can't help."
To be continued...
