Chapter 1321: An eye for an eye

"Yes, my soldiers ate your family! But don't you sell your sons and daughters in famine years? How much can a little ghost sell for, ten taels? Fifteen taels?" Zhao Guangzhi tried hard to persuade, "Just pretend you sold the children to me, okay? Just pretend you sold them for a sky-high price, and you won't have to suffer from hunger and cold for the rest of your lives!" The Soul-Capturing Mirror went "Oh": "This guy is capable; even I'm tempted."

Of course, it was useless even if it was tempted.

He Lingchuan patted it twice. Zhao Guangzhi was bad, not stupid, and very good at finding the weaknesses of human hearts.

If not for this, how could he have gathered an army here and be invincible? From a utilitarian point of view, his words seemed to have no problems, and even the mirror agreed.

He Lingchuan's gaze swept across the audience, finding several people with flickering eyes and hesitant faces.

Just as Zhao Guangzhi said, selling sons and daughters wasn't something unheard of; it just exchanged for a few meals. People on the Flash Gold Plain learned to bow to reality very early.

What is reality? Reality is that people must try their best to live, first taking care of themselves; the so-called dead are gone, and the living can still pursue.

Zhao Guangzhi also keenly captured the changes in everyone and hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "I only beg for a quick death! I'm still going to die, you've already had your revenge! You get revenge and money at the same time, what's wrong with that?!"

After these last words were finished, the shoulders of a few people in the crowd moved, as if they intended to raise their hands.

Dong Rui turned slightly and said to He Lingchuan:

"Didn't think it through, right? Three is too few; you should have set the number to more than ten."

He Lingchuan only said: "Wait and see."

Human nature is very complex.

Sure enough, an old woman in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Li Monkey, are you thinking of raising your hand?"

The man beside her was thin and hunched, his hands longer than his knees; his posture was indeed very much like a monkey.

Li Monkey was exposed by her, and was a bit flustered.

The old woman stared at him, her eyes full of bloodshot veins: "You old bachelor with no one above or below, you just want to take this money, right? You don't care about other people's blood feuds, right!"

The gazes cast by the fellow villagers made Li Monkey subconsciously take a step back: "There's no such thing, I didn't intend to raise my hand!"

The old woman said sharply: "This evil thief ate my two grandsons, and even boasted about how tender they were while eating! I wanted to collect their bodies, but I couldn't even tell the pile of bones apart! If you dare to raise your hand to let this evil thief escape Heaven's punishment, I, this old woman, will burn your house, destroy your fields, and beat you, even if I have to risk this life!"

She shouted until she was exhausted, and her words stirred up the crowd's hatred; some couldn't wait to cook the cannibal demon and grabbed stones from the ground to throw at Zhao Guangzhi.

Zhao Guangzhi was also hit until he saw stars, furious: "Old hag, you ruined my good deed! What does it have to do with you if others take the money?"

The old woman sneered: "When you grabbed my grandson, I wanted to take his place, but you wouldn't agree! Hehe, if I had known today, you should have nodded and agreed back then!"

Seeing the fellow villagers cursing Zhao Guangzhi one after another, those few people in the crowd didn't dare to make a sound.

The water in the pot began to bubble like fish eyes, and Zhao Guangzhi was scalded until he screamed in pain: "Last deadline! If you don't plead for me, the one hundred thousand taels will fly away! You will never see so much money again!" The reward increased a hundredfold, and Zhao Guangzhi didn't believe no one would be tempted. These lowly people would do anything for money! "This is thirty thousand taels! You mud-legged people can't earn so much in ten lifetimes!"

The yellow-haired woman suddenly stood in front of him: "Do you really think the fellow villagers are easy to fool? Even if you have so much money, who will distribute it to them for you?"

Zhao Guangzhi suddenly choked.

That's right, he was going to die himself; who would take out one hundred thousand taels of silver and distribute it to the three people who pleaded for him? Who would be willing to do such a thing? "I, I can tell those three people privately!"

"Privately?" The yellow-haired woman pointed to the brightly lit vegetable market entrance, and then pointed to He Lingchuan and the others, "Are you sure? Do these black-armored lords agree?"

Everyone suddenly realized. That's right, why didn't they take the one hundred thousand silver themselves? Could they really allow those three people to get one hundred thousand silver?

What kind of world is this; who would believe such a fairy tale?

No matter who was tempted in their hearts, they were all directly awakened by this basin of cold water.

They couldn't get it; Zhao the evil thief's money was empty talk, and they couldn't get it at all! "Cook him!" someone roared.

"Cook him! Cook him!"

"We don't want anything, we just want to eat his meat and peel his skin!"

The villagers' roars echoed in the night sky.

He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui: "How is it?"

The latter hummed: "Fine, I saw it, you got your wish again."

Zhao Guangzhi saw that there was no hope of inciting the villagers, and immediately turned to beg the black-armored knights again.

He Lingchuan remained unmoved, and his subordinates, Wanqifeng and the others, naturally turned a deaf ear, standing in the dark night like statues.

The water in the pot was about to boil, and Zhao Guangzhi screamed in pain while crying and cursing.

Cursing the Liuping villagers, cursing the black-armored knights, cursing the unfair fate, using every vicious word he could.

Dong Rui leaned over to look twice and said seriously: "His legs are cooked."

Because the water in the pot had already boiled.

Zhao Guangzhi's screams and crying echoed over Liuping.

At this time, he no longer had the strength to curse, only bitterly begging He Lingchuan to grant him a death.

And the Liuping villagers had already calmed down from their excitement, all quietly appreciating this scene.

Watching, many people were in tears.

For the family members who were eaten, and for the suffering they had endured themselves.

Revenge, finally revenge! It was time; He Lingchuan gave Wanqifeng a gesture.

Two black-armored knights stepped forward, untied Zhao Guangzhi from the round log, and stuffed his whole body into the boiling water, leaving only his head! Zhao Guangzhi let out a scream, even more terrifying than an ape's cry.

"I curse you to die a horrible death!" His eyes were red, and he used his last strength to hiss at He Lingchuan, "After I die, I will become a ghost and I will never let you go..."

Before the words were finished, a mouthful of boiling water was poured into his stomach.

He could no longer speak.

A few breaths later, he stopped moving, staring with wide eyes, half-sinking and half-floating in the boiling water.

This notorious cannibal demon had finally been cooked into soup himself.

Seeing this, the black-armored leader reined in his horse and slowly paced to the large pot.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took out the Soul-Locking Chain and Soul Box from his bosom again, forcibly collecting Zhao Guangzhi's soul.

The light and shadow effect was still shocking; when Zhao Guangzhi's dead soul was dragged out, the Liuping villagers watched intently, their gazes toward the black-armored leader adding three points of awe.

Zhao Guangzhi even cursed him before he died, wanting to become a fierce ghost and take revenge on him; wasn't this a joke?

After death, even his soul was collected by others! Zhao Guangzhi's soul was sucked into the Soul Box with a *whoosh*, and the surroundings returned to calm, only then did the black-armored leader say: "Death does not erase sins; Zhao Guangzhi's soul will continue to suffer in chaos!"

The villagers didn't know what "chaos" was, but hearing it made them feel very at ease: it seemed to be a place specifically for torturing evil people.
