A faint sound of footsteps floated into Wang Ran's ears.
"Finally called someone."
Wang Ran came back from his thoughts.
He asked the county magistrate Liu Lu to go to his superior officials for help. Liu Lu obviously had a very normal relationship with his superiors, otherwise it would not have taken three days to bring in reinforcements.
If you think about it carefully, Liu Lu asked people to collect taxes for ten years. It was obvious that he wanted to make a fortune and run away.
Since he has to run away after making a fortune, there is no need to build a good relationship with his superiors. He only needs to take care of the big tigers above him and get himself transferred to a good job.
Wang Ran figured out Liu Lu's situation as soon as he rolled his eyes.
He smiled playfully.
Liu Lu's ten-year tax collection has caused public dissatisfaction. If the money raised in the end cannot satisfy the big tiger's appetite and cannot let him leave without hesitation, he may be eaten alive by the people here and his immediate superiors.
No wonder the tax collector knew that Old Man Chai had paid one cent of the tax, but still asked Old Man Chai to pay another share.
I think Liu Lu put a lot of pressure on the people below.
In Wang Ran's thoughts, the footsteps got closer and closer, until they were approaching the government office.
"Hello!"
Liu Lu's shouts came from outside the government office.
Wang Ran flicked his fingers without raising his head.
Whoosh——
A vermilion arrow shot straight out, the heavy object fell to the ground, and then there was a panic sound.
Liu Lu, died.
Liu Lu was asked to find his superiors in order to make a big fuss.
It's time to die when the job is done.
The cause of death.
Hey, hey, hey, that’s so disrespectful.
Wang Ran said slowly: "If you are not afraid of death, come in. If you are afraid of death, go back and ask for reinforcements. I will wait for you here in three days."
The noise is still not loud enough. Make it louder.
three days later
Whoosh——
A vermilion arrow shot straight out, and the heavy object fell to the ground.
"kill!"
Soldiers in silver armor filed in.
Wang Ran moved his fingers.
The bloody arrow flew up from the soil, turned into a beam of vermilion light, and bounced left and right in the government office.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The soldiers fell to the ground, fear and shock remaining on their faces
Wang Ran raised his hand and made a move.
A man flew in with a flag behind him.
The man was trembling, and the flag behind his back was swaying, like a dark wind blowing constantly.
See the King of Hell alive!
Even the Grand Duke in the palace cannot kill someone so lightly!
The wood makes the arrow pierce the iron helmet
Is this something a human can do?
Wang Ran stared at this man. This man was an official, and he was older than the county magistrate Liu Lu, because the weird aura on his body was stronger than that of Liu Lu.
There was no such aura about the soldiers.
Wang Ran murmured: "Interesting."
A lost convert to the evil god, he sounds like a character with no brains, but he does things he doesn't understand.
The strange aura didn't seem to cause any physical harm to the officials, but gave them a special kind of mental shock. Ordinary people would be scared to death if they shouted at them.
Seems like a good thing.
But this weird smell made Wang Ran feel very uncomfortable. It must not be something good.
Wang Ran observed this man carefully.
He felt that the aura on the man's body was much more solid than that on Liu Lu's body. If it were more solid, nothing would appear.
I need to find a bigger official.
"I'll let you go, and you go find me a bigger official."
Wang Ran asked casually: "How?"
Whoosh——
The command arrow was inserted directly into the stone slab in front of the man, and bright red blood beads slid down the texture of the token, making the man kowtow repeatedly in fear.
Wang Ran waved his hand: "Go back quickly."
The man stood up and ran away in a mess.
Wang Ran slowly closed his eyes.
It was much faster for him to start on his own than to wait for someone to come to his door, but he was tired and would rather sleep a little longer.
A few more days passed.
rumble rumble
There were heavy clouds outside the government office, and there was a dull thunder rolling in the dark clouds.
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
The arrows poured with kerosene burst into the air with dazzling firelight, and poured into the government office as densely as water.
call!
The fire suddenly ignited the wooden house.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
Groups of soldiers came from all directions and surrounded the burning government office.
Boom boom boom
There was constant thunder, but not a drop of rain.
Under the gloomy sky, a ferocious fire engulfed the entire government office.
"God help me!"
Behind the soldiers, an old general wearing heavy armor and white beard and hair was stroking his beard and laughing.
There are only four administrative areas in this country, and each area has a general and two sub-generals. This old general is one of the sub-generals.
Things in Chi'an County have been reported to the court.
Emperor Long Yan was furious.
The relationship between the imperial court and Jianghu has been bad in recent years, and the matter in Chi'an County immediately became a flashpoint. Officials of all sizes demanded that the matter in Chi'an County be handled strictly.
They believed that if Wang Ran could not be killed with thunderous means and severe punishments were imposed, the Jianghu people would no longer take the court seriously.
If Wang Ran cannot be cured, it won't take long for Jianghu people to attack and kill officials in other places.
Once the precedent is opened, all the mud and sand will fall!
When the situation becomes turbulent, it will be difficult to tell what the future will be like.
In fact, the ministers have a good idea. If they put out the spark that started the fire, the fire behind them will not be able to burn. But this spark cannot be put out by them.
They chose the worst possible path.
The fire burned for a long time.
The soldiers surrounded the government office with all their concentration. Once someone walked out of the government office, they would immediately be greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows.
"Go in and take a look!"
The old general said to his bodyguard.
"Be careful."
The old general warned with caution: "That man is no small matter, and the people in the palace may not have his methods. A fire may not be able to burn him to death. Let the ordinary soldiers stand in front of you when you go in."
The guards nodded silently.
"follow me!"
They each ordered their troops and entered the government office from different directions.
Then he never came out again.
"Liu Meng!"
"He Duozhi!"
"Zhao Ji!"
"."
The soldiers shouted their names, but there was only dead silence and a heat wave that had not dissipated in the government office, without any response.
The old general frowned.
He thought that if the government office was successfully lit, the next thing would be easier.
But he kept things simple.
The people inside killed the soldiers who entered the government office from multiple directions in an instant, leaving all the soldiers with no time to call for help. He couldn't even figure out how the people inside did it.
He felt a little chilled.
At this moment, a huge suction force acted on him.
"Are you the biggest official here?"
He heard an unfamiliar voice.
Although the words were inquiring, they did not imply any doubt at all. The speaker seemed to be sure of his own judgment.
The old general said in fear: "Who is it?"
He pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it vigorously. An invisible black energy flowed along the edge of his sword, cutting off the invisible pull between him and the government office.
"Huh?"
Wang Ran was a little surprised.
He looked in the direction of the old general from a distance, and his eyes seemed to penetrate all the obstacles and fall directly on the old general's face.
"really."
"The higher the official position, the stronger the weird aura on the body, and it may even evolve into something."
Wang Ran has no means of controlling objects.
The force he used to pull the old general was purely brute force. He relied on his high mental attributes to pull him hard, but he was suddenly cut off by the strange aura on the old general's body.
But even if Wang Ran relies on brute force, it is incredible that the old general can cut off the pull of the gods with a mortal body.
What prompted this was the strange aura haunting the old general.
"The aura is so thick that it can already exert considerable power on the spiritual level along with the host's movements." Wang Ran was surprised, "And it still doesn't harm the body."
What on earth is this convert to the evil god doing?
What about opening a charity hall?
It doesn’t quite fit the style of the Evil God series.
Shouldn't a normal convert to an evil god try every means to destroy a world? Why is this convert to an evil god still helping the humans in this world become stronger?
Could it be that he has given up the dark side and turned to the bright side?
Wang Ran was puzzled. He was originally not very interested in the converts of the evil god, and planned to train a group of natives of the world to get rid of the converts of the evil god.
But now, this evil convert has his attention.
He suddenly wanted to meet this evil god convert and ask him face to face what he was doing.
Wang Ran stood up slowly.
The last few arrows flew out of the lottery tube and shot out with his footsteps.
"ah!"
"Well!"
"No!"
Short screams came one after another.
When Wang Ran walked out of the government office, a large number of corpses were lying outside the government office. Coincidentally, the rain also fell suddenly at this time.
Wow!
In an instant, it rained heavily.
Wang Ran walked up to the only survivor, Second General He Xuan.
He Xuan looked sad.
When he saw Wang Ran, his eyes were red and he swung his sword towards Wang Ran wildly.
Wang Ran stretched out two fingers and clamped the sword's edge firmly.
He stared directly behind He Xuan. Just when He Xuan got angry and ran towards him, the aura on He Xuan's body almost condensed into a figure.
Although it is very hazy, it is indeed a figure.
This figure seemed to be related to He Xuan's emotions. He Xuan gradually calmed down at this moment, and the figure behind him began to disappear.
You have to maintain He Xuan's mood.
Wang Ran said: "Among the first group of soldiers who came in, there was a man who looked very similar to you. Is he a relative of yours?"
"Dazhi!"
Two words burst out from between the old general's teeth.
His anger rose with these two words, and the figure behind him became much more solid.
Wang Ran took a deep breath and looked at the black figure behind the old general.
[The devil who tramples on the eighteen forbidden words], activate!
[You understand the weakness of the disaster of lust for power]
The disaster of lust for power?
Wang Ran's eyes showed a trace of confusion, thinking that it sounded like a disaster, but how could a disaster still have a human form?
【① Greed for life and fear of death】
[He had just survived a terrible war and did not want to experience any life-threatening danger in the short term]
【②Severely injured and on the verge of death】
[He is half-dead, living on a little power spread by believers, waiting for those who are obsessed with power to "resurrect" Him. At this moment, He cannot bear any blow]
【③The Evil God’s Wanted】
[As one of the twelve most powerful evil gods, his escape caused the evil gods to be defeated in a very important war, so he was wanted by other evil gods]
Three weaknesses appeared in front of Wang Ran's eyes.
"Higher Evil God?"
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Wang Ran's mind.
