The people of Yanping County never expected that it was already dark, but the deafening sound of gongs suddenly came from the streets.
Accompanied by the rapid beating of the gong, someone shouted loudly:
"Notice, notice, look at the notice..."
What?
During the meal, the curious people put down their bowls and chopsticks and went to the street to take a look, and found that a new notice was actually posted there.
Qiu Batian had just been executed. What big thing happened?
Everyone quickly gathered around the notice. Those who could read had already pointed to the notice and read:
"...The criminal Cui Xiaotian has been arrested by the Yamen for crimes such as using Wansheng Casino to extort money, bullying others by taking advantage of his power, plundering, murder and arson. He is awaiting judgment. If there are any wronged persons involved or victims who were framed by Cui Xiaotian, please hurry up. If you come to the Yamen to file a lawsuit, the Yamen will accept it impartially and will not wait until the expiration date...
"...In addition, Cui Xiaotian's accomplices are still at large. If they can be captured, the Yamen will reward them..."
At the end of the notice, it turned into a memorandum, stating Cui Xiaotian's crimes and evil deeds one by one, which quickly aroused the resonance of the masses.
In Yanping County, there were countless people who had been framed by Wansheng Gambling House. As soon as they heard that Cui Xiaotian had also been arrested by the Yamen, the entire Yanping County became excited again, and the momentum was even greater than the last time Qiu Batian paraded through the streets.
"Great, great! God has opened his eyes, God has opened his eyes! Wow..." Many people cried with joy.
"This... this is really the sky with eyes!" Someone knelt down on the spot, "We just pushed Qiu Batian down, and so soon it was King Cui Hell's turn. If we push these two mountains, our Yanping County will be at peace! "
"Let's go, let's go!" Some people rushed to tell each other, shouting to the neighbors, "Let's go to the Yamen to complain. We have been tricked by King Cui..."
"Master Qingtian, Song Qingtian, wuwuwu..." Someone moved and kowtowed in the direction of the Yamen, "I am so lucky that our Daxuan Dynasty has such good officials who are not afraid of power..."
However, since there was no public demonstration, some people who had been bullied by Cui Xiaotian for too long were still doubtful.
For example, an old man was drinking gruel at the door. He shook his head and said to his neighbors:
"It's not that simple. Don't be too happy. I heard that Cui Xiaotian's background is very tough. He always walked sideways in Songzhou. If he was caught so suddenly, I'm afraid..."
"Really...really?" One of the middle-aged men said worriedly, "I still want to go to the Yamen here, but our family has been cheated by Wansheng Gambling House. If you say so, I...I..."
"You, it's best to wait," the old man suggested. "I don't think Cui Xiaotian is that easy to deal with. If he turns around and comes out, you who complained will suffer!"
"Oh...yes, yes..." The middle-aged man suddenly looked disappointed.
"Look," the old man was still holding the bowl and analyzing, "Qiu Batian was overthrown because he had a life case in his hands, but this King of Hell Cui is different. He... um..."
Before the old man finished speaking, he suddenly saw many neighbors running in the distance. They were all clamoring to go to the Yamen to complain.
"Hey, hey, hey?" The old man hurriedly grabbed one of them and advised, "Are you really going to file a complaint? Listen to me, this Cui Hell King is not that easy to deal with..."
"Oh," one of the neighbors waved his hand and said, "You don't know, right? Wansheng Gambling House has been burned down! I wish all our IOUs were burned, hahaha..."
"Yes," the other one shouted while running hurriedly, "the gambling den has been burned down, King Cui Hell is completely finished. If we don't file a complaint now, how long will it take? Maybe we can get compensation!"
"Ah? That's great!" The hesitant middle-aged man clapped his hands suddenly, "Now, I don't have to sell my daughter! My good daughter, you can be saved..."
After saying that, the middle-aged man ran towards the Yamen like crazy.
"Ah?" The old man was also suddenly excited. He smashed the bowl and stamped his feet and said, "The sky has eyes! Son, daughter-in-law, grandson, I...I will seek justice for you today, and your spirits in heaven must bless you." me!"
After saying that, he didn't even bother to go home and lock the door, and ran directly to the Yamen...
Just after the old man left, two more strong neighbors walked by. One of them said:
"I know the den of a Wansheng gambling house. Let's go there quickly and see if we can catch some of his accomplices? The reward from the county government will definitely be indispensable!"
"Okay!" Another person echoed, waving a pole, and the two quickly disappeared at the end of the street...
…
At this moment, Wansheng Casino was already a sea of fire.
Whether it was the gambling house in front, the yard in the back, or the money vault hidden underground, they were all burned to the ground, swallowed up by fire and smoke.
Although the fire burned suddenly, it did not burn anyone because people had been dispersed in advance due to official announcements.
At this moment, sitting on the roof of a tiled house opposite Wansheng Casino, there were father and daughter, the old catcher Shen Mingchen and the tiger girl Shen Yu.
Since both of them were wearing night clothes and Shen Yu was still holding a fire in his hand, the fire at Wansheng Casino was probably related to the father and daughter.
"It's so happy, dad!" Shen Yu said excitedly, "Half of the four bullies have gone away, can we really have peace in Yanping County now? I feel a lot more relaxed!"
"Humph," Shen Mingchen looked worried, snorted and murmured, "What do you know, this is just the beginning!"
"Oh?" Shen Yu was surprised, "If this starts, what will happen next? Why do I feel that there will be no more after that? What Magistrate Song is doing now is obviously a dead end. He doesn't even want to live anymore, right?
"Do you think, with things like this now, can Cui Xiaotian still be able to turn around?"
"No one can predict what will happen next," Shen Mingchen said sadly, stroking his beard, "We can't care about other people's affairs. If I can knock down these two mountains, I, Shen Mingchen, can be considered worthy of my fathers and fellow villagers!
"Xiaoyu," he said earnestly, "I have made arrangements. If something goes wrong, let's leave this place immediately!"
"Ah? Are we leaving too? If we leave," Shen Yu said worriedly, "What will Senior Brother Xu Zhen and the others do?"
Hearing this, Shen Mingchen suddenly darkened his face and said, "Xiaoyu, you have to promise me something. From now on... stay away from Xu Zhen!"
"Oh?" Shen Yu was puzzled, "Why? Is he a good person?"
"Good guy? Huh..." Shen Mingchen snorted coldly and said with a sullen face, "You are too naive. Xu Zhen has a wicked heart and the city is unfathomable. You must not be fooled by his appearance... …”
"But..." Shen Yu pouted, obviously dissatisfied.
"Huh!?" Shen Mingchen stared.
"Okay..." Shen Yu had no choice but to soften, but did not forget to give his father a reproachful look...
