Chapter 150 Retribution
Chapter 150 Retribution
One of the guards held his sword across his body as a defensive gesture and said, "Master Jiang Jiang, please let us go. I promise not to reveal anything about what happened tonight. By the way, I also know what happened in the dungeon. There..."
Before he could finish his words, the head of the Chen family stabbed him with a knife.
Damn it, he actually betrayed us at this critical moment.
The other three guards instinctively distanced themselves from Magistrate Zhang and the others, and then knelt down to beg for mercy towards Jiang Yizhou.
County Magistrate Zhang and Patriarch Chen and Patriarch Zhou were both trembling with fear at this moment.
"Don't, don't... Master Jiang, don't get excited. Everything can be settled."
"That's right. It was all a misunderstanding before. It was a misunderstanding... It was our superiors who told us to do this. Please, Master Jiang, give me a chance. I will ask them to release the person right away..."
"Release them, release them..."
Jiang Yizhou smiled. In his sea of consciousness, Xiao Tongzi said that there was less than half a quarter of an hour left.
She said to the three rebel thugs, "Go and tie them up. Just tie them up with their own sleeves."
The thugs who were hired at a high price to protect him have now become his death warrant.
They shouted at these ungrateful people.
But in the end, he was tied tightly by his wide robe sleeves.
The three of them waited for Jiang Yizhou to give the order to let them go.
Then came the final decisive blow.
However, they seemed to have anticipated this situation, so when Jiang Yizhou took action, they also rushed towards Jiang Yizhou at the same time.
Jiang Yizhou avoided attacks from both sides and punched straight in the middle, knocking the killer in front of him back two steps.
The knife in his hand fell with a clang, a big dent appeared on his chest, and a small bump appeared on his back.
He looked at his body in disbelief, then fell down with a strong sense of unwillingness.
The remaining two people were also frightened by the scene before them.
What kind of martial arts did this woman practice? Her fists look delicate and tender, totally unlike those of those who practice boxing, whose hands are covered with rough calluses.
They roared and rushed towards Jiang Yizhou again.
The latter avoided one of them and went straight for the other.
He knocked the opponent's sword away with one hand and grabbed his neck with the other hand. Without any pause, he exerted a little force with his hands, and with a crisp sound, he twisted his neck apart.
The last killer, in despair and fear, under the suppression of absolute power, had his cervical vertebra shattered by a palm strike, and died a fatal death.
Jiang Yizhou checked the bindings on the men again, feeling somewhat worried, so he knocked each of them unconscious with a knife, and also took the half-unconscious Huo Yuting to the center of the room and placed him in a safe place.
Then she extinguished all the candles, and taking advantage of the darkest moment after the last lightning, she climbed out of the window and closed the window.
He jumped down and disappeared into the darkness.
Split——
Accompanied by a thunder that was louder than all the previous thunders, a huge bolt of lightning burst out from the dark clouds in the sky and fell straight on the Yuelai Restaurant below like a beam of light.
The bright beam of lightning instantly penetrated the entire building and lit it up.
The walls and roof were shattered, and in the bright flashes people could see that there were still people on the highest floors.
"Ah - there's someone, look!"
"Oh my god, lightning struck..."
There were screams from the crowd.
They watched helplessly as lightning struck those people, bursting out in strings of electric sparks that entangled them like snakes.
Their bodies spasmed stiffly in the electric sparks, curled up, and finally became silent.
Someone shouted: "God's punishment, this is God's punishment..."
The crowd was boiling again.
That’s right, in the middle of winter, how could there be thunder for no reason?
It turns out that God is punishing the wicked.
Even God couldn't stand it anymore and came down to take care of it himself.
After the last flash of lightning and loud thunder, the light disappeared, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the whole world fell into an eerie silence.
Yuelai Restaurant was burned into ruins by lightning, revealing those people who were condemned by God to everyone.
The rest of the place is intact.
People were amazed.
After a long while, under the lanterns and torches of the people, someone cried out: "Master Zhang——"
Then someone else shouted: "Master Huo——"
"Master Chen——"
"Master Zhou——"
People felt inexplicably frightened.
This is a real big family in Jiang'an County, and they are powerful people who hold the power over their life and death.
Whether they are peddlers, tenant farmers or farmhands, whether they can live in peace depends entirely on their thoughts.
Of course, in most cases, as long as they don't run into their guns, they don't have the leisure and experience to deal with them.
But once...
People don't even dare to talk about or criticize these people in private, because you never know when something might happen to their servants, family members, or relatives, and then... without any surprise, they will be badly injured if they don't die.
When people saw such a tragic scene, many of them began to tremble and vomit, and some even wet their pants on the spot.
It was so tragic. These people were all burned by lightning and curled up into a ball, but their faces were strangely preserved, maintaining the final fear.
Someone whispered, "Didn't they search and confiscate the Yunshan grain station yesterday? They also falsely accused people of selling illegal salt..."
Someone quickly said, "How could he be selling illegal salt? I often buy things there, and I didn't know about it. These people must be jealous of him and framed him."
"Yes, it must be a frame-up."
"At that time, I heard a fellow inside yelling when he was arrested that if he sold illegal salt, he would be struck by lightning and die miserably..."
"It seems that God has finally opened his eyes and arrested the guy who falsely accused someone."
Under intentional or unintentional guidance, public opinion was in an uproar.
Then he linked the lightning incident in front of him with the incident of the head of the Jiang family praying for water half a year ago.
No one had been able to get water from that wasteland for many years, but water appeared as soon as Master Jiang went there.
The man said righteously: "...I said that Master Jiang is the chosen one in the wasteland, blessed by God."
Another person quickly agreed: "That's right, Master Jiang is fair and kind. Those who work on the farm say that the master treats them kindly. You see, in the past, many people couldn't afford to eat and were hungry, and they didn't even have clothes. This year, with the Tianshui Farm, these people now eat better than us. I heard that everyone has work clothes to wear. Oh, it's so warm..."
"I've heard about this a long time ago. This time, these people dared to slander the head of the Jiang family. Even God couldn't stand it. I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly."
"That's right, retribution, it's retribution."
Someone suddenly knelt down and said, "Please God, have mercy on us and let us have good weather and good harvests..."
Then everyone knelt down. God finally showed his mercy, so they had to beg him sincerely.
