Chapter 358: Law Enforcement
The ghost boy was taken away, and the demon of the divine lotus suddenly became like a deflated ball, and suddenly shrank to the ground.
Chen Tang rode his horse over, reached out to grab his vest, held it in his hand, and the fast horse ran away from the other side. If it was blocked by those fanatical believers, it would be impossible to kill many blinded people. It was not the wish.
He did not choose to return to Dongxiang Manor, but went to a remote valley first, threw the prisoners on the ground, and prepared to start the interrogation.
The demon mage relieved his breath, sat on the ground, and looked at Chen Tang in a very embarrassed manner: "You, who are you?"
Although he is not a master of enlightenment, he has a ghost boy in his hand, which is very fierce. He releases it and never fails. Unexpectedly, as soon as he meets him today, the ghost boy was taken away.
As he said that, he secretly glanced at the wooden box that Chen Tang was carrying, guessing whether it was a very precious treasure.
Chen Tang rode on the horse and looked down at him condescendingly: "Tell me."
The demon man's eyes rolled: "What do you say?"
"Yu!"
The rouge horse suddenly stood up, and two hooves as big as a sea bowl were swaying above the demon's head and would fall down at any time. If this hoof was stepped on the body, it would be disabled even if it was not dead.
The demon was shocked and moved his body desperately, shouting: "Master Wunai Divine Lotus, protected by the destiny of heaven, you cannot kill me!"
When Chen Tang heard this, he laughed silently. I wonder if this guy was stubborn or was really brainwashed. He sneered: "If you don't kill you, would you send you to see the official?"
"Yes! Yes!"
The demon said repeatedly: "According to the procedure, you have to send me to the yamen."
Some secret joy flashed through my heart. With the relationship between the Divine Lotus Sect and Tan family, if I arrived at the yamen, I would definitely be safe and smooth. If it went well, I would not even have to go into the prison cell.
"Bang!"
As he spoke, a huge horse's hooves fell on his chest. As if he was hit hard, he almost fainted and screamed like a pig: "It's broken, it's going to break..."
Chen Tang said coldly: "Say, say all the things you know about the Divine Lotus Sect and the evil things you have done. Otherwise, you will step on you into meat sauce."
The demon felt that the skeletons all over his body seemed to be dispersed, and he said in panic: "You let the horse go first..."
"Yu!"
The rouge horse neighed and proudly withdrew its hooves. It was said that under its iron hooves, there had never been a hard bone.
The demon reached out to stroke his chest, as if it was a piece of it. He felt frightened, and after a moment of pause, he started talking about it.
Chen Tang listened and his anger gradually increased. As he had guessed before, in order to reap the faith and worship, the other party often sent ghost boys to cause trouble in the face of some villages, and then used banners to subdue demons and eliminate demons to do some superficial articles, indicating that the evil spirits had been conquered. In this way, the villagers naturally burst into tears and became believers.
This is a standard routine.
Chen Tang couldn't help but remember the stories recorded in the book, saying that some people from the side told fortunes on the streets, and in order to blackmail money, they threatened them, saying that the victim had bad luck and blood disasters. If the other party didn't believe it, at night, the demon would send out the little ghosts he raised to do. The victim was frightened, of course, he believed in the demon and gave him whatever he wanted.
In essence, there is no difference between the two.
Obviously, the demon was not fully exposed. Some places were obscure and dared not say it, for fear of angering Chen Tang and smashing him into pieces. After all, raising ghosts is a cause for trouble and not evil, and this ghost cannot be raised. At the beginning, it was still impossible to deal with warriors, so they could only use some strong farmers and men to take advantage of them. Over the years, at least twenty or thirty lives have been killed, causing many village households to be destroyed.
As for the matter of the Divine Lotus Sect, he talked freely, intentionally or unintentionally, showing that the Divine Lotus Sect is extraordinary and has a large number of people. The implication is that Chen Tang is afraid and conscious, so he let him go.
After nearly two quarters of an hour, my mouth was dry and my body was getting more and more painful.
Chen Tang listened slowly. He wanted to preside over Panzhou Prefecture, kill evil and support the righteous, and he had to deal with many enemies. At present, the Divine Lotus Sect is one of them. Now he has the opportunity to learn more, so he can start. However, the other position is not high, and what he knows is mainly about the situation of the branch, and the others are unknown.
"Have you ever seen your tutor?"
The demon mage coughed a few times, coughing up bleeding: "See."
"Oh, what does he look like?"
Chen Tang asked, this is a good clue.
"The leader is wearing a silver foil mask. I didn't see my true face... I asked all the questions, and I said that I could answer them. I feel very uncomfortable now. Send me to the yamen to be imprisoned. I have harmed people and committed evil, and am willing to accept the sanctions of the king's law."
Speaking of the word "king law", it actually looks like he is generous in his righteousness.
Chen Tang smiled: "Your sins are unforgivable, and you will indeed be punished by the king's law. But you don't have to go to the yamen, and the law can be enforced here."
Hearing this, the guy said in fear: "You are a Gu family disciple, you are not named and you can't kill me privately."
"You're wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yanzhima rushed up immediately and understood and solved the problem with her two hooves.
Chen Tang touched his face. As the imperial governor of Panzhou, he was granted the iron scrolls of alchemy, so he naturally had the power to enforce the law on the spot.
Of course, these are all great things in terms of reputation, and there is no need for many concerns in the field. He knew very well that escorting the other party into the city and to the yamen would almost be like letting the tiger return to the mountain. What does the yamen look like now?
Birds of a feather, they have long disappeared.
So from beginning to end, Chen Tang didn't have this idea. As for grabbing him on the manor, it was also a problem. The manor had many people and was prone to trouble, and if it was a mess, it would be difficult to deal with it. Now that the other party was dealt with, and after going back, you just need to tell Manager Gu that the evil spirit had been resolved. If you believe it or not, the ghost boy was taken away and it was impossible to show it again. Anyway, nothing happened next, which was even more convincing.
From the first day after coming to the manor, Chen Tang became suspicious of the Divine Lotus Sect through inquiry. The yin energy felt at the place where the incident occurred was full of doubts, unlike the conventional evil behavior. Today, the demon mage came to the manor again to deceive the public and make a big spoil, which almost meant he fell into the trap.
Based on the other party's confession, they have some understanding of the Divine Lotus Sect. It is an emerging organization of forces. There are very few people in the sect who can be called masters. Few people with real skills do not know what the leader Chen Hongru. They are currently taking the route of harvesting and offerings, saving money, numbers, and people's hearts...
This is still a routine, but it is a evil path.
Yanzhima found a place to deal with the body, and Chen Tang rode back to the manor.
