C172 (1/2)

Upon seeing this, Luo Lingwei and the rest immediately stepped aside to make way for them. After all, the one who had died was the oldest. While these people were walking, Luo Lingwei could faintly hear someone speaking.

”Great sir, can we go like this? Was my second brother beaten to death by the county magistrate? Can we go to the prefectural yamen? ”

Luo Lingwei heard the voice of a sixteen to seventeen year old boy. Following that, another hoarse voice sounded.

”Sigh, although I don't know if it will work, it is still better than making your second brother pay with his life. Your second brother is a much better person, and now he has been accused of raping a woman to death. Even if he knows in the underworld, he would definitely not be willing!”

When Luo Lingwei heard this, although she was interested, she did not go over to say anything. After all, although this matter sounded very hateful, it was only a one-sided story. Moreover, Luo Lingwei still had something important on her mind.

Not long after those people entered the city, Luo Lingwei saw a few more people dressed as servants chasing after them into the city. When she saw the group of people carrying the corpses from afar, she immediately ran forward.

Not long after, the two groups met. Luo Lingwei saw that this group of people wanted to snatch away the corpses, but they couldn't stop the other side from having more people.

One of the old ladies threw herself on the corpse and hugged it without letting go. She cried, ”My son, you died miserably!” Something like that.

As the place where these people were entangled with was the main local road, most of the local citizens would have to pass through this road in order to enter and leave Yanzhou City. It didn't matter if this group of people fought here. The entire Yan City was paralyzed.

Furthermore, as more and more citizens came to watch the show, this road would no longer be able to be taken.

As the black mass of people increased in number, the corpse thieves seemed to be somewhat afraid and also stopped.

At this time, the old lady who had collapsed on top of the corpse had seen too many people, and as if her heart was filled with confidence, she cried out to the crowd around her: ”Fellow villagers and elders, please listen to what the old woman has to say! I was originally a common family in Pu County, and my second son was a local Elementary Scholar. A few days ago, my second son was captured as a criminal by our local county governor. In order to get my son to confess, he beat him to death! And now they sent people here to rob the body. I would like to invite all my fellow villagers to bear witness to this, and to raise their heads as if they were gods. I would also like to request all my fellow villagers to bear witness to this, that this group of people will definitely die a horrible death in the future! ”

”You crafty old woman, how dare you insult the imperial court officials!”

At this moment, the leader of the messengers grew impatient. Hearing the old woman insult them, he stepped forward and slapped her across the face. The old woman sat on the ground, stunned.

Just as the messenger was about to attack the old lady again, he realized that someone had grabbed his hand. The strength of that person's hand was so strong that he had to grit his teeth in pain.

The messenger turned his head and saw a burly man holding his hand. The burly man tried to struggle free but found that his hand was clamped in a pincer, unable to move.

When the other officials saw that their class chairman had been restrained, they abandoned the people who had complained about their wrongdoings and ran towards the man.

And the person holding back the class chairman was Zhao Hu. At this time, Zhao Hu saw that the messengers were coming towards him, so he did not dodge or evade. He used his strength to pull the class chairman over, and then grabbed his belt, lifting him above his head and throwing him in front of the few officers. Those few messengers were unable to dodge in time, and were knocked down by their class leader.

Zhao Hu still wanted to go up and teach these people a lesson, but hearing Luo Lingwei's voice, he turned around and left.

At this moment, within the crowd, the few messengers were lying on the ground moaning and groaning, unable to get up.
