Chapter 334 Thought he was a living Bodhisattva, but turned out to be a living King Yan
Wang Ba came back to his senses from the pain and realized that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked.
Although he was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and yelled, "Go!"
A group of minions hurriedly got up and ran away, rolling and crawling.
Wang Ba endured the burning pain in his ten fingers and ran while secretly swearing: You wait, I will not be a human being until I have avenged this!
But before they could run far, several men in black blocked their way.
Just now, a man in black beat them to the ground, making them roll around and scream in pain. Now, seven or eight of them appear in a row!
Even from behind, there was a lazy and leisurely discussion.
"Madam, letting the tiger go back to the mountains is not a good idea. In my opinion, to prevent future troubles, we should cut off the roots."
The tone was so relaxed as if they were discussing a daily routine.
Wang Ba stumbled, feeling very depressed.
His face flushed, "You...you are taking human life lightly!"
As soon as this word came out, the people around it became popular instantly.
This scourge of Penang, he usually relies on his connections to harm the locals. He is completely conscienceless and has done all kinds of bad things. How dare he say that others are taking human lives lightly?
Suddenly, voices denouncing him burst out like a flood.
"When you seized someone's fertile land, beat my uncle and his wife to death, and took possession of his youngest daughter who had just turned fourteen, why didn't you say you were taking human life lightly?"
"You came to my father's stall every day to collect protection fees. In the first half of the month, you collected single orders, and in the second half of the month, you collected double orders. Even if you were sick and couldn't set up the stall, you still had to pay the protection fees. In the end, my father was unable to pay and was beaten to death by you!"
"My dog Daqiang is a good dog who guards our house every day. But he barked at you twice that day, and you killed him alive and made him into a soup pot!"
"You even smashed my father's urn!"
"You stole my daughter's Tanghulu!"
Not only did they blame him, but no one knew who started it, but they actually threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at Wang Ba.
Wang Ba was so angry that he jumped up and down. How dare these rotten fish and shrimp treat him like this?
But just as he opened his eyes wide to glare at people, he was forced back by the cold gazes of the guards.
I could only hold my breath, hold my head and squat on the ground to avoid it.
The public was outraged and resentment was boiling.
Xie Zhuoning was stunned by this scene.
This tyrant is really a man who has done all kinds of evil things. Even a thousand cuts and pieces of blood would not be enough to appease the anger of the common people!
She thought about it and said to Ye Wuque, "I think we should not kill him. God is merciful and beating and killing people is not good."
It was a rare opportunity to hear someone speaking for himself, and Wang Ba was actually moved from the bottom of his heart.
He never expected that under such circumstances, there would be someone willing to stand up and defend him!
But before he could be happy for long, he heard the voice again, "In my opinion, it is better to cut off his limbs and turn him into a human pig. This will not only save our hands, but also make him spend the rest of his life in pain. What do you think?"
Wang Ba: “…”
It's too early to be happy.
I thought I met a living Bodhisattva, but I met a living Yan King instead!
Ye Wuque immediately raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Xiao Cao'er is really kind, then I'll do as you say."
Kind?
You call turning people into pigs kindness?!
Wang Ba's mouth twitched, and in anxiety, he shouted loudly, "How dare you, do you know who I am? My brother-in-law..."
"Your brother-in-law is from the Sima clan, the clan leader is Prime Minister Sima, and the empress is from your family. Okay, I got it. You have just said it, so there is no need to say it again." Xie Zhuoning picked his ears impatiently.
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Wang Ba was completely panicked.
When others heard him bring up the Sima family's relationship, who wouldn't just admit it?
As a result, there wasn't even a trace of fear or dread on the faces of these two people!
An unprecedented crisis swept through his body. He suddenly couldn't stop shaking all over. He began to beg for mercy in a soft voice, "What do you want, you two? Money? I have money. I can give you whatever you want!"
Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning instantly became interested, "I want 1 billion taels!"
Wang Ba's eyes froze: "..."
How much more?
One billion!
I’ve seen people asking for sky-high prices, but I’ve never seen anyone asking for the sky!
"Can't take it out? Then there's nothing we can do." Xie Zhuoning spread his hands and shrugged.
Ye Wuque, who was standing next to him, gave a look, and the guards took Wang Ba away to be executed.
After all, fighting in the street is quite bloody, and there are old people and children involved.
In a moment, Wang Ba's screams rose to the sky.
When it was brought back, it was packed in a large jar.
He has turned into a bloody human stick.
This move can be regarded as getting rid of a scourge for Penang, and the common people cheered immediately upon seeing it.
They rushed over and gave them various food gifts to express their gratitude.
Xie Zhuoning smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome. This is what we should do."
When she wanted to reach out to take the things, Ye Wuque suddenly put his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "Madam, we have had enough fun. It's about time to go, right?"
Did she stand up deliberately to speak up for the woman who sold herself to bury her father and for the common people?
Or do you want to make a big deal out of this and alarm the capital?
If the news here reaches Prime Minister Sima and the Empress, Xiao Jinxuan should know about it. Is that what she thinks?
Or maybe he wanted to take advantage of the chaos and leave some clues for Xiao Jinxuan?
It doesn't matter which one it is.
When he is in a good mood, it would be nice for him to play with her.
But, he would never let her escape from his grasp!
"Your Highness, the government officials are here." The guard reported.
"Retreat." Ye Wuque said in a cold voice, then lowered his eyes to look at Xie Zhuoning, then changed his expression, his peach eyes were full of smiles, "Hold on tight."
Just as he was about to leap away, a white shadow stumbled over to him.
"Please, Madam, take me away!"
The person who spoke was the woman who sold herself to bury her father.
With tears in her eyes, she begged, "Please, Madam, take me away. Wang Ba and the others will not let me go!"
After all, what happened today was caused by her.
If she were caught, she would be living a life worse than death.
Ye Wuque looked indifferent, and even showed a hint of impatience.
He has a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, and he is affectionate to everyone he looks at, but deep down, he is so cold-hearted that he doesn't care about anyone.
However, Xie Zhuoning noticed that when the woman was praying, her eyes were fixed on Ye Wuque, and his mind was moved for a moment.
"Ye Wuque, why don't you take her away? After all, it was me who intervened and disturbed her karma. Besides, we have been meeting many masters along the way, and it is not convenient for us to go there many times. I also need a maid who can take care of my daily life, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Wuque only thought for a moment, then ordered his attendants, "Take her away."
Xie Zhuoning added, "And her father!"
A vein jumped on Ye Wuque's forehead, "And her father!"
The guards took the woman and her father's body and used their martial arts skills to move them away in a short while.
Only the large jar containing Wang Ba was left in the middle of the road to welcome the officers and soldiers who were arriving late.
Then, a roar pierced the sky.
"Who did it? Check it for me!"
