Chapter 39 A guest comes from afar
"Huh!"
Cui Heng blew out a breath quickly to extinguish the small flame burning on his fingertips, and he was quite surprised.
He had just watched the martial arts copied by Monk Huishi and was inspired, so he tried to improve the operation route and release method of his magic power.
Unexpectedly, he ignited such a terrifying flame directly.
Just at that moment, the high temperature of this flame almost burned the entire county government to ashes.
If its heat was allowed to explode, the entire Juhe County City would probably be razed to the ground and turned into scorched earth.
This was just because he used a little bit of magic power to ignite it.
"The use of magic power is really mysterious. This is more powerful than the power of sword energy that I simply use to condense it."
Cui Heng roughly estimated that if he used all his magic power to ignite a raging fire, he might be able to burn mountains and boil seas.
Of course, how strong it is can only be determined after it is actually performed.
Thinking of this, he is looking forward to what a real spell will look like.
After all, among the methods he has mastered now, whether it is condensing sword energy or igniting fire, they are actually just the application of martial arts, not real spells.
[Currency: 348.21]
Cui Heng glanced at the remaining currency, which seemed to be enough to deduce three spells.
However, he thought about it and gave up. Currency is very precious and has many uses. It is also a trump card to save his life.
I don't have any urgent need for magic for the time being, so I'll talk about it later.
Besides, the martial arts that Monk Huishi copied are enough for me to figure out many new ways to use magic.
"County Master, you just..." Monk Huishi saw that Cui Heng had not spoken, and finally couldn't help asking, "Was that a magic?"
"It's just a small trick used for experiments." Cui Heng smiled, "It's okay, you can go down."
"Yes." Monk Huishi hurriedly bowed and left.
After walking out of the county hall, he quickly came to a tree, holding the trunk with both hands, breathing heavily, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
After a long time, he barely suppressed the fear in his heart.
The small ball of fire just now gave Monk Huishi a feeling that the sun in the sky was rising from Cui Heng's fingertips, and as long as it exploded, doomsday would come.
"Too horrible, is this the power of the county lord?" Monk Huishi was terrified and murmured, "Is this still a human being, is this still a human being?"
...
Three days later.
A high platform and a series of awnings were set up on the street in front of the Juhe County Office.
Countless people once again surrounded the place.
However, with Monk Huishi pretending to be the head of the yamen runners to maintain order here, it didn't seem chaotic at all.
The elderly and women were arranged in the front, followed by men with children. They let the children ride on their necks and all stared at the high platform.
The grievance meeting was about to begin.
"Our Lord of Justice is really a living god. He actually thought of such a way to convict Huang Baopi."
"That's right. If you want to say who knows how evil Huang Baopi is, it must be us ordinary people. I have long wanted to scold these Huang family bastards." "That's
great. We will finally have a good life in the future. The Huang family oppressed us for so long and finally died. Thank you, Lord of Justice!"
Many people either praised Cui Heng, or scolded the Huang family, or admired a better future.
After a while, the Huang family members were escorted over by a group of yamen runners wearing shackles and handcuffs.
Walking in front was Lord Huang Shishan.
The crowd suddenly became noisy.
"Kill him! Kill Huang Ba Pi!"
"Ling Chi! He should be Ling Chi! I want to eat his meat and drink his blood!"
"Skin him, pull out his tendons, and fry him! Let him die a miserable death!"
The angry curses rose to the sky like a tsunami.
If it weren't for Monk Hui Shi standing in the front to maintain order, these people would have rushed over and beaten all the Huang family members to death.
Even so, many yamen runners, including Monk Hui Shi, felt the overwhelming public opinion and the overwhelming anger.
The Huang family really did a lot of evil and deserved to die.
"Everyone!"
With the help of four yamen runners, Zhao Guang grabbed Huang Shishan and climbed onto the platform, shouting loudly: "This is Mr. Huang, Huang Shishan, the culprit who oppresses us ordinary people!
"The county magistrate is not afraid of power. For the sake of us ordinary people, he decisively eliminated the Huang family who did so many evil things. Now he has held this grievance meeting. Let us make it clear how the Huang family bullied us!
"The grievance meeting will be a public trial. It will start now. Everyone, please speak out your grievances and complaints. Say whatever you want to say!"
Zhao Guang once came to Lu County from Yanshan County by begging over mountains and ridges. He speaks very fluently. It is most appropriate for him to preside over this grievance meeting.
As soon as he finished speaking -
bomb!
The crowd suddenly exploded with anger, and all the people present stared at Huang Shishan with red eyes.
"Huang Baopi, I fuck your ancestors for eight generations. There was a severe drought the year before last, and the harvest was not enough to pay the rent, but you actually sent people to capture my wife and daughter, and beat them to death! You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"
"Poor old man of mine, he's already sixty years old. Last year, he was sick and didn't do farm work for two days. This Huang Baopi actually sent people to capture my old man and plow the fields with his hands, and worked him to death!"
"Members of the Huang family have a hapless death! Last year, when my daughter was about to get married, she was taken a fancy to by a steward of the Huang family, and that night... poor daughter hanged herself! Woo woo!"
...
...
Just like that, the grievance meeting lasted for three days and three nights, and Old Master Huang Huang Shishan alone took up two days and one night.
In the end, this big landlord who rode on the heads of all the people in Juhe County and acted tyrannically was cursed to death on a high platform amid the spitting and cursing of thousands of people.
Otherwise, the duration of this grievance meeting would probably be even longer.
After the grievance meeting, the land and property of the Huang family were distributed to the people.
This made the people of Juhe County worship Cui Heng as a god.
Many people even set up shrines of Cui Heng at home and prayed for him day and night.
The Huang family was wiped out, and the people gradually got their own land and property.
The whole Juhe County entered an unprecedented state of joy.
But in such a joyful atmosphere, there was a piece of news that shrouded everyone's heart like a haze, making people uneasy.
It is said that the army of the anti-thief King Yan will soon attack Juhe County!
...
On this day, two people came to Juhe County.
One of them is a young woman who looks to be in her twenties, and the other is a girl who is only eighteen or nineteen years old. Both are disciples of the Yuhua Sword Pavilion, a major sect in Lu County.
The girl has picturesque eyebrows and delicate features. She is wearing a goose yellow dress. She is petite, pretty and lively. Her bright and lively eyes look around curiously. When she sees a street snack stall, she can't help but stop.
"Senior sister, this Juhe County is so lively, and the food smells so good." She gently pulled the corner of the young woman's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it said that there is a big landlord here, and the people are living in dire straits?"
The young woman has soft features, bright and beautiful looks, dignified and steady temperament, tall figure, and wears a plain white dress, giving people a sense of knowledge and reason.
"It is indeed somewhat different from what we knew before." She was also somewhat surprised to see the situation in Juhe County. Her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she thought, "It seems that there have been some changes that we don't know about.
"In this chaotic world, there are not many places where people can live and work in peace. It would be a pity if it was destroyed by the war of King Yan. This time we must help with all our strength and try our best to prevent this place from being ravaged by war."
"Then shall we go find the county magistrate now?" the girl asked, but her eyes were still staring at the roadside snacks.
"No, let's ask the people here about the situation first." The young woman shook her head lightly.
