Chapter 1272: Li Xiuyuan, the Arhat Who Subdues the Dragon
They had been oppressed by Yuan Batian and these scoundrels and suffered miserably. Now, when they saw with their own eyes that those bullies who were once superior were punished as they deserved, the resentment in their hearts poured out like a flood that burst a dam. Transformed into endless joy and relief.
The crowd came like a tide, surrounding Yuan Batian and the henchmen, and everyone's face was filled with anger and relief.
Their fingers trembled as they pointed at Yuan Batian, and their voices became sharp with excitement: "Evil will be punished! You too will have today! Look at what you look like now, you are worse than a dog!"
"Yuan Batian, you are such a heartless villain, do you know that the crimes you have committed are countless? Now, you are not satisfied with the retribution, and you have finally ended up in this situation!"
An old man had tears in his eyes. Although his voice was trembling, his words were sonorous and powerful, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.
"And you bastards, who usually rely on Yuan Batian's power to do evil, now that he has fallen, you can't even think about it easy! Just wait and go to hell with him!"
a young man shouted angrily.
…
Chang Wei and Esdeath were not interested in continuing to look at them, so they left as they said and continued their trip to Hangzhou leisurely.
It is impossible to kill Yuan Batian. He said that he wanted to satisfy Yuan Batian and that he would chop him up. Cutting him up and killing him are two different things.
And those ordinary people just scolded fiercely and could not have the courage to take action against Yuan Batian. Yuan Batian's old father, a high-ranking official in the imperial court who was stationed in the capital, was not someone to be trifled with. It would not be good if he was implicated. .
Just as the people were scolding each other, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the din of the scene.
I don't know who shouted: "The government people are coming!"
This shout was like a bolt from the blue, causing the originally angry crowd to become panicked instantly.
They are well aware of the darkness and corruption of the government, and those police officers often collude with bullies to oppress the people.
Now that Yuan Batian has ended up like this, how can the government give up?
Maybe a scapegoat will be found to smooth things over.
Thinking of this, the people began to flee one after another, fearing that they would be caught by the government and become scapegoats.
Otherwise, not only would the governor of Hangzhou City be in danger, but he might also die. Of course, it would be better to die for the common people than to die for himself.
When the police officers arrived at the scene, they were so frightened to see Yuan Batian's miserable condition and the sight of the thugs still involuntarily surrounding him and cutting him to pieces with thousands of knives.
They had never seen such a horrific scene. Yuan Batian's whole body was covered in blood and flesh, with almost no good piece of flesh left.
The catcher was even more sweaty. He knew that this matter was not a trivial matter. If it was not handled properly, it would probably implicate himself and even the entire prefect's yamen.
"Quick! Go and inform the prefect! Something big has happened here!"
The catcher ordered his men and stepped forward in person, trying to stop the thugs who were still "working".
He kicked several of them to the ground with force, but even so, the pain on Yuan Batian's body still did not stop.
At this time, the prefect of Hangzhou City was sitting in the government office drinking tea, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility.
The prefect frowned, put down his tea cup, and said displeasedly: "Why are you so panicked?"
The catcher outside the door gasped and said urgently: "Sir, something big happened! Yuan Batian... Yuan Batian..."
"What's wrong with Yuan Batian?"
The prefect's heart tightened. Yuan Batian's background and power could not be offended. Could it be that he was committing another murder on the street?
It's not like he said that this Yuan Batian is too rough at playing. He doesn't know how much trouble he takes every time he wants to suppress it.
"Yuan Batian was chopped up! Now he is lying on the street, bloody and bloody..."
The arrester's words made the prefect's face instantly turn as pale as paper.
The seriousness of this matter is that if it is not handled properly, not only will your reputation be in danger, but your life may also be in danger.
"Quick! Take me to see it quickly!"
As the magistrate spoke, he stood up and hurried out.
This matter is not trivial and must be handled personally on site.
Chang Wei and Esdeath walked side by side in the bustling market. Both of them had outstanding temperament, attracting passers-by's attention.
The sun shines through the clouds and dapples on them, adding an extraordinary atmosphere to this ordinary street.
Soon, their eyes were attracted by a young man, who was wearing a green shirt and holding an exquisite birdcage in his hand. The birds in the cage had colorful feathers and were jumping happily, as if they were ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
The young man walked lightly, with a faint smile on his face. He nodded to passers-by from time to time, looking gentle and elegant.
However, in Chang Wei's eyes, the young man's body was shrouded in a faint light, which was the fluctuation of spiritual power, which was not trivial.
There was something in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon...has the plot quietly begun?"
Chang Wei knew in his heart that according to the plot he knew, Arhat who subdued the Dragon often descended to the mortal world out of compassion and performed good deeds as a mortal. This time, his reincarnation was the young man in front of him - Li Xiuyuan. .
Li Xiuyuan, the son of Li Maochun, a great philanthropist known to everyone in Hangzhou, has lived with the doting of his parents since he was a child. His character is inevitably somewhat lazy and casual, but this does not hide his inner heart. Deep kindness and innocence.
Just when Chang Wei was about to observe further, and even try to swallow the faint spiritual light to get more information, the sky suddenly changed.
The originally clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, and the black clouds rolled in, as if indicating that a storm was about to come.
Pedestrians on the street quickened their pace. Some were busy closing their stalls, while others hurried to their homes for fear of being trapped by the sudden wind and rain.
"Oh, why did the day change so easily?"
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and then smiled with relief, "Well, since God is not kind to us, then we can do some good deeds to make this trip worthwhile."
At this moment, his eyes fell on a hobbling old woman with white hair and a cane in her hand, who was struggling to move among the crowd.
Li Xiuyuan's heart moved, and he immediately stepped forward, held the old woman's arm, and asked with concern: "Grandma, are you going home? It's going to rain today, I'll take you back."
However, Li Xiuyuan's good intentions went astray.
It turned out that the old woman originally planned to go out to pack some things to avoid getting wet from the rain, but Li Xiuyuan mistakenly thought that she was going home.
So, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but drag the old woman out from the door of the house and walked in the opposite direction of the house.
