Just as it was slowly retreating to the back little by little, the blue morning light was dyeing the mountains, rivers and land in the far east.
The silvery white dawn gradually turned brown red, and the morning glow was reflected on the window sticks of thousands of households in the city.
Such a beautiful day, but it is incompatible with the desolate spirit of Shu County City.
In front of the gate of the governor's mansion, there is a mahogany table and chairs.
In the center of the square in front of the gate, a square high platform was erected with cross-shaped wooden stakes.
The periphery of the high platform was already heavily guarded, and the people in the city stretched their necks to look in.
It is rare to see such a thing as eliminating demons on the spot, so I naturally don't want to miss it.
"I really didn't expect that the Baiyao Fairy of Yukangtang turned out to be a snake demon and killed so many people."
"Who said it wasn't. Fortunately, someone saw through the real body, otherwise I don't know how many people would die at the hands of this snake demon."
"Yes. But, will this White Snake Demon come? Doesn't he come here to die?"
"You don't know about that. The old lady of the snake demon is currently being imprisoned in a big prison. Judging by her posture, she should be tied to this high platform. Do you think the snake demon will come?"
"I see! But her old lady is not a snake demon, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to do so?"
"Then you don't understand. Even if her mother is not a snake demon, it means that this woman is an ominous person. This kind of person can still stay in the world and harm others, so don't give it to her as soon as possible."
""
The people in the city were talking about it, and Bai Suzhen, who had changed her appearance, walked among the crowd, listening to their discussions, there was anger, helplessness, and even a trace of despair.
When the whole world abandons a person, he can't even say hello.
Even if you have done many good deeds before, they are all vulnerable to "doing good things like a stream".
It can be said that as good as you were then, you are as bad as you are now.
The choice of good and evil in human nature lies in a single thought, but this thought is the obsession of a group of people.
Bai Suzhen just walked slowly among the crowd, listening to their words, watching their expressions, her frown became even tighter.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, Wei Shisong came over on a white horse, and behind him was a group of sergeants in armor.
They have stern faces, holding mo knives and crossbows, there are about fifty people, and they are full of murderous looks.
Wei Shisong swept across the crowd proudly, then got off his horse, swaggered to the table and chairs, and sat down.
Today, he was specially ordered by his father to sit in the Governor's Mansion in person.
He wanted to see how divine this White Snake Demon was, who dared to make trouble in Shu County.
"Where's Cao Yu?" Wei Shisong asked suddenly.
"My lord, Guard Cao went out in the afternoon and hasn't returned yet." A guard beside him replied in a low voice.
At the critical moment, Cao Yu no longer had personal protection by his side, Wei Shisong's face was very displeased, and he shouted: "Find it for me."
"Yes, my lord!"
Wei Shisong didn't know that as early as three months ago, Bai Suzhen controlled Cao Yu with the Seven Star Begonia.
Today happened to be the agreed three-month period. In order to survive, Cao Yu had to go to the previously agreed alley and wait for the expert.
Bai Suzhen used the red bead of the skin painter to disguise herself, and appeared in the appearance of a young man. After asking about the general situation, she gave Cao Yu the antidote for the Seven Star Begonia.
Leaving the entrance of the alley, Bai Suzhen immediately changed her appearance, changed her appearance, and went to the Governor's Mansion in the appearance of a young woman.
At this time, the area around the Governor's Mansion was already crowded with people, and it was very lively.
Everyone was waiting for the white snake demon to appear, and then watched the white snake demon be beheaded by those powerful Taoist priests and mages.
Inspector Yang Jian trotted over from the mansion with a smile on his face, flatteringly said: "Da Lang sits in the township personally today, so I'm not afraid that the White Snake Demon won't come! When he comes, he will kill it with his own hands and become a great hero in the hearts of the people!"
Wei Shisong laughed and said: "Master Yang, I like to hear what you said. Also, have all the outsiders hired by the governor's mansion have been properly arranged?"
"Don't worry, Dalang. It's already been arranged. As long as Bai Suzhen enters the city of Shu County, it will be impossible for her to fly without wings."
Wei Shisong gave a "hmm" and said with a smile: "This matter is settled. I will give you a few words of kindness in front of my father. I heard that there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, which is quite suitable for you."
Yang Jian said happily: "Don't worry, Da Lang, the next official will definitely do his best to handle this matter well. YesWell, how about bringing Zhao Rulan over here, so that Bai Suzhen can be forced to show up as soon as possible. "
Wei Shisong was also a little impatient for waiting, and agreed: "What are you waiting for, bring me up quickly. I don't believe that Bai Suzhen won't show up."
After a while, two policemen dragged Zhao Rulan to the high platform, and tied her to the cross.
Hay and dry firewood were stacked under the high platform, apparently to burn Zhao Rulan to death at the end.
Bai Suzhen looked at the weak Zhao Rulan, and anger rose in her heart instantly. She didn't expect her mother to suffer so much because of herself.
Zhao Rulan opened her eyes slightly, scanning the crowd in front of her.
She knew in her heart that the reason the government arrested her was to force her daughter to show up and rescue her.
With the last ounce of strength in her body, she shouted: "Suzhen, it doesn't matter if mother is dead. But if you want to come out, mother will die with regret!"
Bai Suzhen was about to step forward, when she heard this sentence, she was stunned, and then tears welled up in her eyes.
Wei Shisong sneered, and sternly said to the people around him: "Come forward and beat me, but don't kill me. I don't believe that Bai Suzhen won't come out!"
Just as the man was about to rush over, he was punched by Wei Shishan who suddenly came out.
"What are you doing here!" Wei Shisong said coldly.
Wei Shishan said coldly: "Even if Bai Suzhen is a snake demon, what does it have to do with her mother! Why do you have to be so cruel to a woman!"
Wei Shisong laughed and said: "Erlang, you are too naive. Do you think this is what my father and I mean? This is the wish of the people in the city. I just do it for them. If you don't believe me, let me help you ask. "
Having said that, Wei Shisong walked up to the high platform and said loudly: "Fathers and folks, let me ask you, do you think the snake demon's mother should die?"
"Damn! If she hadn't given birth to the snake demon, how could my daughter have died so miserably." A middle-aged woman cried loudly. As soon as the words came out, the people around immediately responded.
"Maybe, she is also a snake demon, burn him to death quickly." Someone shouted excitedly.
"Burn the snake demon to death, burn the snake demon to death" Shouts came one after another, wave upon wave.
Wei Shisong said with a satisfied smile: "Erlang, do you hear that? This is public opinion, we still have to obey public opinion and eliminate harm for the people!"
Wei Shishan's clenched fists clucked loudly, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames of anger.
"Erlang, I know that white snake demon cured your hidden disease. But you have to understand that if this matter is not handled properly, father will have no way to explain it to the court."
"Now, there are many pairs of eyes in Chang'an City staring at our Shu county. If you delay father's important affairs for your own selfishness, then you have to weigh the consequences! As a brother, you have run out of words, so you should do it yourself." Wei Shisong Whispered in his ear.
"Even so, you can't kill people in vain!" Wei Shishan said firmly.
"Then have you done some calculations? If she is killed by Zhao Rulan in exchange for the stability of the entire Shu County, do you think her death is worth it? Don't think about those Jianghu knights all day long, just look at Cao Yu next to me." , still wagging his tail and begging for mercy to be my dog. People in the Jianghu are also human beings, and even human beings have to eat. Why bother!"
After finishing speaking, Wei Shisong turned to face the crowd and shouted loudly: "Bai Suzhen, I know you are hiding in the crowd. If you refuse to save your mother, then you are really inferior to pigs and dogs. I will give you a chance. As long as you stand up for yourself, I will let your mother live, and it can be regarded as the virtue of good life in heaven."
Zhao Rulan heard the words, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Suzhen, don't come out, don't come out. Mother has you as a daughter in this life, so she will die without regret!"
Bai Suzhen's eyes were dim with tears, looking at her mother on the high platform, her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the lake.
At this time, the surrounding noise gradually disappeared, only the sound of my own heartbeat was clearly audible.
