Chapter 82 The Great Lord (1/2)

Recently, there have been many battles to defend the city, and there are injured civilians who need medical treatment every day.

Sima Yi now takes some time every day to help the injured civilians heal their wounds, and the rest of the time is used for cultivation.

Last time, he asked his uncle to help rescue Er Gouzi from the county magistrate, and he agreed to one condition of his uncle.

He promised his uncle to practice seriously, take the martial arts exam in the future, practice to the foundation, and glorify the Sima family.

Since he was a child, his uncle said that he had a talent for cultivation, and it has always been his uncle's wish to let Sima Yi cultivate immortality.

Now his uncle is dead, as a man, he still has to do what he promised his uncle.

In addition to his promise to his uncle, he now finds that practicing medicine can't save the world at all.

The whole Great Zhou Dynasty is sick, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is sick from top to bottom.

Only by taking the path of the martial arts exam can he have the opportunity to treat the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The lower doctor treats people, and the upper doctor treats the country!

He is now determined to treat the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Maybe he really has a talent for cultivation. In such a short time, he has cultivated to the first level of Qi training.

At night, Sima Yi was sitting in a secret room, concentrating on his practice. Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

The noise became louder and louder, and gradually affected the secret room, making Sima Yi unable to practice at ease.

Could it be that the rebels outside had broken in?

He could only get up and look out the window.

I saw many figures had already rushed into the Sima clan, and the clan members were fighting with the invaders.

Many old and weak people who did not know martial arts had been chopped to the ground, with screams, shouts, and cries.

The big tree that had been protecting the Sima family had fallen.

As a member of the family, Sima Yi did not hesitate at this moment and rushed out of the secret room with a sword.

"Ding Ding..."

"Dang Dang..."

As soon as Sima Yi rushed out of the secret room, he fought with a black shadow, and three or two swords had stabbed the man to the ground.

Only then did he see clearly that it was a constable from the county government.

It turned out to be someone from the county government?

While he was still confused, he saw that the one who was fighting with Sima Hong at this moment was none other than the Dianshi.

This old man was seriously injured last time and had been lying down for several months. Now that he had recovered a little, he brought people to the Sima family to make trouble.

Although he was still seriously injured, he was still stronger than Sima Hong. In a few moves, he had captured Sima Hong alive.

"According to the order of the county lord, search the Sima family and kill anyone who dares to resist!"

Although the Sima family also had some immortals, Sima Gang was the strongest in the previous generation, but unfortunately he was dead.

Sima Yi was the strongest in this generation, and now he was also captured by the Dianshi.

The rest were either killed or captured alive.

After Sima Yi chopped down two constables in a row, he was captured by Wang the head of the constable and three constables.

All the captured people were tied up with ropes and thrown to the ground, and the yamen runners began to search their homes.

The Sima family has lasted for hundreds of years. Their ancestors had a strong foundation-building master and owned a spiritual field. The accumulation over the years was extremely rich.

Therefore, when it was time to search the house, the county magistrate could not help but finally showed up.

The county magistrate was alone guarding the most important warehouse of the Sima family, not letting anyone else in.

He waited until he had finished picking before letting the registrar in.

The registrar found a pill, dozens of spiritual herbs, a few stones of spiritual rice, and some Peiyuan Guben pills in the warehouse.

Then it was Wang's turn to go in and pick, and he picked some Peiyuan Guben pills, some Dali pills, and some spiritual rice.

Then it was the turn of other officials in the county government to go in and pick one by one.

When the people in front had eaten up all the money, the last person to go in could only find some gold, silver and jewelry in it.

Of course, in addition to this warehouse, the Sima family had many warehouses.

The warehouse for copper coins was full of copper coins, and many ropes for stringing coins were rotten and broken.

The warehouse for storing cloth was filled to the brim with all kinds of precious silks.

The Sima family had the largest granary.

Some of the grain in the granary had a stale smell because it had been stored for too long.

A rough estimate is that there were at least tens of thousands of stones of grain, much more than the grain in the county government warehouse.

When the county magistrate saw that the Sima Yi family had stored so much grain, he was heartbroken and angrily denounced the Sima Yi family's greed.

"All the people of the Sima family will be put in jail and await their fate."

The remaining people of the Sima family were all locked up, their bodies were taken away, and finally disappeared.

In the next few days, the county government arranged personnel to block all the Sima family's properties in the county.

It took half a month just to move things out of the Sima family.

At this point, the county magistrate finally exchanged the stale grain in his own warehouse with the Sima family's new grain.

The Sima family was sealed off, and the news had long been spreading in the county, with speculations about the reasons.

Most people were happy to see this.

On this day, the county government finally tied all the Sima family members to the square in front of the government office.

The Sima family's crimes began to be announced, and the charge was embezzlement of the court's disaster relief grain.

All the free people in the county came, surrounded the three layers inside and outside, and it was crowded.

The entire Sima family had more than 600 people in total, and most of them were killed that night. The remaining more than 200 people were all here.

The core members were tied to dozens of pillars, and the remaining family members were thrown on the square and knelt on the ground.

Sima Yi was tied to a pillar, and in just half a month, his hair turned all white.

On a pillar next to him is his cousin Sima Hong, the most outstanding disciple of the Sima family.

At this time, the onlookers were already filled with indignation. It turned out that all the disaster relief food distributed to them by the court had been embezzled by the Sima family.

"Dear fellow villagers, as the official of Anchang County, I cannot be trusted by the imperial court, and I cannot be trusted by the people of Li."

When the county magistrate appeared this time, he went out of his way and made a self-repentance first.

The people watching in the audience were confused, and some of the more simple people were deeply moved.

They were usually cautious and groveling, and would be scolded and whipped by people in the yamen.

Today, the dignitary of the county spoke to them so kindly, which was a bit flattering.

"Over the years, I have been so busy with official duties that I have been deceived by treacherous people, which has made all my fellow villagers suffer!"

The county magistrate burst into tears when he said this and bowed to the people in the audience.

The people in the audience were used to being beaten and scolded. They had never received such high courtesy. They were frightened for a moment.

Some people were moved to tears and knelt down quickly to kowtow to the county magistrate in return.

It seems that the county magistrate is still very good, and the only bad ones are the petty officials in the government office.

"Woooooooo..."

Next to Sima Yi, Sima Hong wanted to defend his family, or at least drag the county magistrate into trouble.

The benefits are shared by everyone. Now that it has been revealed, no one can think about it.

But with the numbness stuffed in his mouth, he could only make a whining sound, which made him twist his body desperately.

"Pa bang bang..."

"Be honest."

A government officer fired his bow from left to right and gave Sima Hong a good beating.

"I know that many people may not believe it yet, and people from the Sima family also want to make excuses."

"Bring the people up."

As the county magistrate spoke, he waved his hand back, and immediately several government officials came over escorting a young man.

The young man is slightly chubby and has fair and tender skin. Many people have recognized him as a young master of the Sima family.

"Sima Dong, the guilty citizen, pays homage to the county magistrate."

The young man walked up to the county magistrate and knelt down on the ground with his face on the ground and his buttocks raised high.

"Lift your head and speak."

"yes."

Sima Dong then raised his head slightly and looked at the county magistrate's feet.

"I want to ask you, who is your last name?"

"The sinner's surname is Sima and his given name is Dong. He comes from the Sima family and is the second son of the county captain Sima Gang."

When Sima Dong said this, he paused, straightened up, and continued through gritted teeth.

"The Sima family is rich and unkind, corrupt and perverts the law. I have changed my mind and completely separated from the Sima family.

Sima Gang, a man with a human face and an animal heart, is no longer my father. "

When Sima Dong said this, Sima Hong, who was tied to the pillar, was so blind that he wanted to bite his brother to death.

"Woooooooo..."

"Pa bang bang..."

"Woo..."

"Pa bang bang..."

"Be honest."

The yamen officer beat Sima Hong again.

"Do you know about Sima Gang's embezzlement of disaster relief food?"

"The guilty people know that Sima Gang moved all the disaster relief food distributed by the court into the Sima family's warehouse."

"The guilty people once tried to persuade them, but Sima Gang said: Our Sima family has its own warehouses full of grain. It's none of my business to care if the unruly people are hungry."

When the people in the audience heard this, they were already angry and scolded.

"It turns out that all the bad things were done by the Sima family!"

"The Sima family's crimes are extremely evil!"

"My children were sold and my old mother starved to death. It's all the fault of the Sima family!"

"Kill them!"

Some people couldn't help but throw stones at the Sima family members.

"I never expected that the Sima family would be so loyal on the surface but do such ruthless things behind the scenes."

After the crowd calmed down a bit, the county magistrate continued his performance, placing all the blame on the Sima family.

"The Sima family is greedy and unkind. They are not short of food at all. This is ten years of old food I found in the Sima family's barn."

The county magistrate said, holding up some stale rice in his hands for everyone to see.

“The Sima family’s grain has piled up in several barns, and there is no way to eat it.

A lot of grain has been stored for more than ten years, and the millet is almost rotten. They are still reluctant to help the poor, but watch everyone starve to death. "

When everyone saw the food that had become moldy because they could not eat it, everyone became even more angry.

He didn't have enough to eat every day, and some parents and children starved to death, but the Sima family hid the food and it became moldy.

"The food at home has become moldy, and our life-saving food has been stolen."

"We misunderstood the county magistrate!"

"The county magistrate is the great master of Qingtian!"

"It's all the fault of the Sima family!"

Originally, the people in the city were dissatisfied with the county government because they could not afford to eat, but they had been cleverly transferred to the Sima family.

Many people even think that the county magistrate will be Master Qingtian if they find out the big maggots like the Sima family.

"Beast..."

"Scumbag..."

"Beast..."

"The Sima family are all scum!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them all and feed them to the dogs."

The simple people, filled with righteous indignation, had vented all the disasters and pain they had suffered on the Sima family.

A man jumped on a female member of the Sima family, opened his mouth and bit off a piece of bloody flesh.

The man chewed the meat a few times and swallowed it.

"Your Sima family has committed many evil deeds. I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood."

With a leader, others followed suit and pounced on the Sima family criminals, beating, kicking, stripping, molesting, dragging, biting...

The group's hatred was ignited, and now it was all vented on the Sima family, with cruel means and no means of punishment.

Sima Yi was tied to a pillar, watching his familiar relatives being subjected to various cruel means, and he could only close his eyes, with two lines of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Just at this moment, a stone flew over and hit Sima Yi's forehead, blood mixed with tears, flowing all over his face...

The county magistrate stood on the high platform, watching the unruly people below venting their anger calmly.

He secretly sweated in his heart. If he didn't know a little about the art of herding people, he might have become the target of the unruly people's venting.

After the unruly people below vented their anger, the one or two hundred people of the Sima family kneeling on the ground died or were injured, and most of them were no longer human.

Only the core members of the Sima family were tied to the pillars.

Everyone was tired at this time. After all, there was no food to eat. Only a few people could eat the flesh of the Sima family.

"Dear elders, the Sima family caused such a disaster. I am also responsible for my negligence. I decided to fast for three days to punish myself."

When the county magistrate said this, the people below were moved to tears again and called the Lord of Justice.

"Such a major case should have been reported to the court and decided by the superiors.

But now is an extraordinary period, and I am overstepping my authority.

It is decided now: behead the entire Sima Gang family.

All the food stored in the Sima family will be distributed to the people of the city."

When the county magistrate said this, all the people in the square had knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Lord of Justice!"

"Lord of Justice!"

"Lord of Justice..."

Beauty and ugliness, good and bad, purity and greed, are all caused by contrast. The stronger the contrast, the more obvious it will be.

Now that the Sima family has committed so many evil things, there is a strong contrast with this negative example, which can highlight the integrity of the county magistrate.

What's more, when everyone was about to starve to death.

It was the county magistrate who turned the tide, confiscated the Sima family, and distributed food to the people of the city, just like a reborn parent.

So far, the county magistrate has been an official for decades, and his reputation has reached an unprecedented height, becoming an honest official loved by the people.

The county magistrate put his hands behind his back, enjoying the feeling of being loved by the people.

He was even more addicted to the pleasure of playing with everyone in the palm of his hand.

Only then did he look at Sima Dong who was still kneeling on the ground.

"If you dare to execute the sentence yourself, I will consider letting you go."

A yamen runner had already drawn a waist knife and threw it in front of Sima Dong.

Sima Dong lay on the ground, hesitated for a moment, picked up the waist knife, and walked tremblingly towards the pillar where Sima Hong was tied.

"Brother! Besides mother, you love me the most.

Whenever my father beat me when I was little, you protected me quietly.

When I made mistakes, you took the blame for me.

Brother, help me one last time, I don't want to die..."

Sima Dong said this, gritted his teeth, and stabbed Sima Hong's chest with the knife in his hand.

A stream of blood spurted out, splashing Sima Dong's face...
