Chapter 187 Public outrage, beheading
Liu Mansion.

Liu Shifu came back from Laoyingou and heard from his subordinates that someone had come to look for Chen Xian.

When Liu Shifu heard this, he asked who the caregiver was.

The nurse couldn't explain it either, he just said that the man gave Chen Xian an invitation and then left, heading towards the county town.

"Invitation?"

Liu Shifu was stunned for a moment. Who in the county would invite a poor man like Chen Xian to be a soldier?

"Did you read that correctly?"

"Master, I was right next to him. I saw it right. That man was very respectful to Chen Xian," said the nurse.

"We can't wait any longer. We must kill that bastard Chen Xian tonight." Liu Shifu clenched his fists tightly.

Someone in the county town actually sent an invitation to Chen Xian, but no one knew who it was.

He wanted to go to the county town to inquire, but he didn't have enough time.

Kill Chen Xian, find the invitation and you will know who invited Chen Xian.

After dark.

A black shadow rushed into Liuquan Town and headed straight for the Liu Mansion.

The guards at the Liu Mansion did not notice the black shadow.

In the main hall of the backyard, Liu Shifu had finished his dinner and was wiping his knife with a rag when he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone standing at the door and he stood up in a hurry.

"Lord Snake!" When Liu Shifu saw the black python coming, he was overjoyed.

But the next moment.

click!
The black python grabbed Liu Shifu's neck and said sinisterly, "Liu Shifu, how dare you play tricks on me?"

Liu Shifu was stunned: "Master Snake, what, what's going on?"

The black python angrily asked, "Why are you taking back the gift you gave me?"

"what?"

Liu Shifu was stunned: "No, there is absolutely no such thing."

The black python let go of Liu Shifu and said, "I'll settle this account with you later. Where is the demon-slaying soldier you mentioned?"

Liu Shifu took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly red as he said, "Master Snake, please follow me!"

He immediately called the old butler and others to take the black python to Chen Xian's house.

Chen Xian's family had already had dinner, and he was making medicine for his father.

But he knew when the black python came to town.

"It's really looking for death!"

Chen Xian sneered, "You colluded with demons, took human lives lightly, bullied men and women, occupied land, and exploited the people. Liu Shifu, you really don't think you can die fast enough!"

After preparing the medicine, Chen Xian disappeared into his yard.

Chen Xian flashed over to the Red Wolf Gang's lair. "Ma San, take all the gang members and tell every household that Liu Shifu is colluding with the demons and is preparing to massacre the town. Let everyone stay at home and don't come out."

"What? Collude with demons?" Ma San jumped three feet high when he heard it.

"Go quickly." Chen Xian shouted.

"Okay..." Ma San nodded repeatedly. He was so scared.

He immediately took people to tell every household. When the townspeople heard that the Liu family had colluded with the demons to massacre the town, they were immediately terrified. Why were they still hiding in their homes? They decided to flee.

Those who got the news immediately started packing up.

Chen Xian returned home.

Liu Shifu happened to appear outside his yard with the black python. He roared, "Chen Xian, you bastard, get out here and die."

His loud roar alarmed the neighbors, who all recognized it as Liu Shifu's voice, coming to catch Chen Xian again.

Immediately, Wang Cheng and his wife, Li Kui's parents, and other neighbors came out of their homes to look.

The black python turned around and glared at Liu Shifu, cursing in his heart, "You idiot, don't you know who I am?"

Liu Shifu didn't notice the black python's eyes, he rushed into Chen Xian's yard first.

However, the next moment, he was punched on the chest and flew backwards, spitting blood.

boom!
The black python flashed by and grabbed Liu Shifu who was flying backwards and threw him aside.

Liu Shifu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pointed at Chen Xian who was standing in the yard and said angrily: "Chen Xian, you bastard, you are dead tonight!"

Chen Xian sneered, stared at the black python and raised his voice: "Liu Shifu, you are so bold, how dare you collude with the demon to kill me?"

"What? There's a demon?"

When Wang Cheng and his wife and others heard this, they were immediately frightened, but when they looked around, they did not see any shadow of the monster.

Liu Shifu was also stunned for a moment, his old eyes flashing with ferocity.

This bastard actually knew that Lord Snake was a demon?
boom!
At this moment, the black python didn't waste any time and attacked Chen Xian directly.

Chen Xian did not act very strong. He fought with the black python with one move after another, suppressing the latter with every move, causing the black python to roar continuously, with its eyes becoming more ferocious and vicious.

"You bastard, you actually have some skills!" The black python's body was filled with evil energy and it attacked Chen Xian frantically.

Chen Xian was able to suppress the latter, causing the black python to roll out of the yard and crash into the earthen wall, causing it to collapse.

boom!
Chen Xian dodged and stepped on the black python's neck, exerting great force.

"Ow!"

The black python sensed the danger, let out an angry roar, turned around and turned into a giant black python, and rolled away in a whoosh.

“Ahhh… It’s a monster, it’s really a monster…!” Wang Cheng and his wife and others saw clearly that the man in black had transformed into a giant python. They were so frightened that they screamed and quickly ran towards their home.

Li Kui's parents and sister were also shocked. They didn't expect that Liu Shifu was really colluding with the demon.

At this moment.

Liu Shifu was a little crazy, because he didn't expect that the black python couldn't beat Chen Xian. That was a demon king, equivalent to the Jade Sea Realm.

"Lord Snake, kill him, kill him quickly...!" He roared and rushed towards Chen Xian with a knife in hand.

The neighbors heard Liu Shifu's roar and were all shocked. They thought the mayor was really in collusion with the devil!
Chen Xian did not kill the python. He asked Ma San to notify every household. The townspeople would surely not be able to hide at home and would run away in fear.

He and the python trembled, crushing the houses along the way, and houses collapsed one after another.

The townspeople were terrified and ran towards a safe place screaming.

Then Liu Shifu was holding a knife and leading his men to chase Chen Xian. "Go, capture his family!"

Suddenly, Liu Shifu roared.

The old butler turned around and ordered his men to rush towards Chen Xian's house, but a giant python came crashing down, scaring everyone so much that they dodged.

The scene of Chen Xian fighting the giant python alarmed most of the town. When the townspeople learned that the mayor was colluding with the demon, they were all stunned and ran over to see.

Liu Shifu didn't care about anything else. He went crazy and cooperated with the python to attack Chen Xian frantically.

Chen Xian raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that the time was almost right, he started to counterattack, killing Liu Shifu first.

He snatched the sword from Liu Shifu's hand and shouted, "You dog official Liu Shifu, you are colluding with demons, taking human lives lightly, bullying men and women..."

Every time he said that, Chen Xian would chop Liu Shifu with his sword, causing Liu Shifu to bleed profusely.

The python roared and bit Chen Xian. Chen Xian turned around and chopped the python in half with a knife. The python roared and rushed towards the townspeople.

Seeing this, Chen Xian leaped over, landed on the python's head, and stabbed it with a knife.

puff!

The big knife pierced the python's brain and killed it on the ground.

Thousands of townspeople around were stunned.

Chen Xian was covered in blood. He drew out his sword, walked towards Liu Shifu who was supported by someone, raised his sword and chopped off Liu Shifu's head.

puff!
An old man with wide eyes flew out instantly. The old butler and others were so scared that they pissed their pants and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

The townspeople were shocked for a long time before they cheered loudly and cursed Liu Shifu for being a heartless person.

Many people even rushed over and trampled on Liu Shifu's body.

People are dead, they are no longer afraid.

Some people also rushed forward to beat the old housekeeper and guards of the Liu Mansion.

The scene was very chaotic.

Chen Xian stuck the big knife into the ground, turned around, carried the python's body and laid it across the street, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Shifu is an official appointed by the court. He relied on his high position and the emperor's remoteness to bully men and women in the town, take human lives lightly, and even collude with demons. He deserves to be put to death."

"Chen Xian is right. Liu Shifu deserves to die."

"He should have died long ago and should have gone to hell."

The townspeople responded to Chen Xian's voice and cursed Liu Shifu.

Some people even took the lead in raiding the Liu Mansion.

Chen Xian did not stop these, from which it can be seen that the townspeople hated Liu Shifu very much.

When Liu Shi was resurrected, everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Now that he is dead, the townspeople have become bolder.

The ninety-seven coffins in the center of the town were also overturned. Ma San took the lead in beating the relatives of the deceased, making them scream in pain and flee with the coffins.

The members of the Liu Gang were also hacked to death by the Red Wolf Gang, and the newly appointed gang leader was seriously injured by Ma San and fled the town.

That night, Liuquan Town was in chaos, but in an orderly manner. People were targeting the Liu Mansion. Ma San's target was the Liu Gang.

It was not until midnight that the streets of Liuquan Town became peaceful.

But every household lit up the lights and was excited at home.

Liu Shifu, who had oppressed them for many years, finally died, which was a great relief to everyone.

Chen Xian returned to the yard.

Washing herself with well water, sister Chen Rong looked pale. She glanced at the giant python corpse beside the courtyard wall from time to time: "Brother, that, that giant python won't come back to life, right?"

"It's already dead. I'll cook it for you tomorrow." Chen Xian said with a smile.

"I, I dare not eat it!" Chen Rong shook his head.

Chen Quan, standing at the door, stared at Chen Xian's back, without a trace of joy on his face.

Now that Liu Shifu is dead, the higher-ups will definitely come down to investigate.

Even though Liu Shifu deserved to die, his son had killed so many people after all, and this matter could not be concealed.

Besides, now that Liu Shifu is dead, there will be a new mayor in the town.

Maybe he won't oppress the people at the beginning, but in a few years he will repeat Liu Shifu's path.

Outside town.

A caretaker in the Liu residence was beaten black and blue, so he hurried to the county town under the cover of night.

After dawn.

Chen Xian's family hadn't gotten up yet, but there was already a lot of noise outside.

Opening the door to the main hall and taking a look, he saw that all the prominent people in the town had come to Chen Xian's house with gifts. Some brought money, some brought fine cloth, and some brought food. There was a huge pile of gifts in the yard.

Chen Rong looked at those things in amazement. Those were things she had never dared to even imagine, and now they were all in her yard.

"Mr. Chen, I am Liu Shigang. I am just a small gift to you. Please accept it!"

An old man asked someone to bring over a hundred taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Although I am from the same family as Liu Shifu, the evil things Liu Shifu did really brought shame to our Liu family. If you kill him, it can be regarded as clearing the door for our Liu family."

Chen Xian glanced at the old man and waved his hand, saying, "It is my duty to eliminate harm for the people. Take the silver back. You can leave the food, clothing and other things. I will pay for them. Take all other money and other things."

"This..." Liu Shigang opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen, these are just gifts from the townspeople. They are nothing valuable, so don't refuse them."

"Want me to say it a second time?"

Chen Xian's eyes narrowed, and he turned his wrist, and a gold ingot appeared in his palm: "Am I short of money?"

When Liu Shigang saw the gold ingot, he was stunned.

He looked at his hundred taels of silver and felt embarrassed, so he immediately asked someone to take the money away.

"Brother, you, you are so rich?" Chen Rong stared at the gold ingots in Chen Xian's hand with his eyes widened.

That was a gold ingot, and she had never seen it before.

"for you!"

Chen Xian threw the gold ingot to Chen Rong without even looking at it.

Chen Rong held it in her hand. It felt heavy. She touched it carefully, looked at it, and bit it with her teeth. Her eyes sparkled, "It's true. It's actually true!"

Seeing her money-grubber look, Chen Xian shook his head helplessly, turned around and said to Liu Shigang: "Leave the food and clothing, I have money, take everything else."

"Also, have someone count the things that were lost in the town, and I, Chen Xian, will compensate for them one by one."

"Mr. Chen, you don't have to pay. The Liu Mansion will pay for all this." Liu Shigang said hurriedly. He pulled Chen Xian to the side and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, I have something to remind you. The Liu Mansion is not over yet."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xian frowned.

"The Liu family has another third son, Liu Shijie, who works for the Liao family in the county. His cultivation is quite strong, and he is doing very well in the county."

"Such a big thing happened in the Liu Mansion. Liu Shijie will definitely come back. You have to be careful."

Liu Shigang reminded.

Chen Xian's eyes flashed slightly. Liu Shifu had connections in the county town. He had thought about this a long time ago. However, Liu Shifu didn't ask Liu Shijie to come back to take charge of the situation after his son died. Why did he go to the old ditch to look for the black python?

As for the Liao family, the original owner also had memories of it. It was one of the largest families in the county, and the chief of the City Guard Bureau was a member of the Liao family.

Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, the Liao family is considered the most powerful family in Fengyun County.

Liu Shijie worked for the Liao family, so his status and position naturally rose.

It's no wonder that Wang Ming returned to the town and helped Liu Shifu target him. He probably wanted to curry favor with the Liao family's chief through Liu Shijie.

"Okay, I get it!"

Chen Xian nodded. He also realized that Liu Shigang had the same idea as him. They both wanted to overthrow the Liu family. Perhaps there were deep conflicts among the same clan.

It’s just that the Liu family has connections in the county, and Liu Shigang knew that he couldn’t defeat Liu Shifu, so he had been enduring.

Now that Liu Shifu is dead, Liu Shi just dared to stand up.

"Mr. Chen, I'm leaving now!" Liu Shigang took his leave and left quickly with his men.

The neighbors in the yard came to Chen Xian one after another. Some praised Chen Xian, some asked if he was a high-ranking official, and some introduced Chen Xian to a wife. They were very enthusiastic and concerned about Chen Xian.

People are like this. When you are in power, people will start to curry favor with you and take advantage of the opportunity.

When you are down and out, there will be people who will gloat over your misfortune, look down on you, and even add insult to injury.

Therefore, Chen Xian didn't care about the enthusiasm of the neighbors. After dismissing everyone, he began to move rice, flour, vegetables and the like into the kitchen. Chen Rong was very happy holding the fine fabric, "Brother, we can make new clothes now!"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Let a tailor do it."

……

Outside the town, troops from the Demon Suppression Bureau arrived quickly.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his early forties with a little stubble on his cheeks. This man was the chief flag bearer of the county town demon bureau, Yu Shenhai.

Next to Yu Shenhai were Li Mingfu who came yesterday, and Wang Ming with two followers.

There are also thirty demon-suppressing guards.

Everyone rushed into the town and headed straight for the Liu Mansion.

On the street, the townspeople hid when they saw the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau. They went all the way to the outside of Liu Mansion, but found that the gate of Liu Mansion had collapsed and there were no guards at the door.

"What happened?" Li Mingfu frowned and asked one of his men to go to Liu's house quickly to check.

After a while, the demon-suppressing guard ran out with an ugly face and said, "My lord, it's bad. The old man of the Liu Mansion was killed, the old housekeeper was beaten to death, and Madam Liu and her wives and concubines hanged themselves or committed suicide..."

Without waiting for the demon-suppressing guard to finish speaking, Li Mingfu personally led his men into the Liu Mansion. Seeing the mess, Li Mingfu was shocked.

Who is so bold?

Rushing to the old butler, he was lying on a chair, dying. There were three or four nurses with bruised faces and noses beside him. Everyone else had run away.

"Who did it?" Li Mingfu grabbed the old butler and asked.

At this time, the general Yu Shenhai and Wang Ming and others also walked in and stared at the old butler.

The old butler had a listless look in his eyes. He stared at Li Mingfu with his mouth open, unable to utter a word.

Finally, he died with his head tilted on the chair.

Li Mingfu grabbed the guard next to him and asked him, and the guard said that it was Chen Xian who killed Liu Shifu. Then the town became chaotic, and the townspeople rushed into the Liu Mansion, smashed things, looted property, and wanted to kill Madam Liu, etc.

"Chen Xian, you're dead!" Li Mingfu was furious after hearing this. No matter what, he had accepted the hundred taels of silver from Liu Shifu, so he had to capture Chen Xian and put him in jail.

"Come on, take me to find Chen Xian." A cold look flashed in Yu Shenhai's eyes, and he turned around and led his men towards Chen Xian's house.

Wang Ming followed behind him with a sneer on his face, and said in his heart: Chen Xian, ah, Chen Xian, you are really courting death, no one can save you this time!

Not long after, the group passed by the town center and discovered that the ninety-plus coffins had disappeared.

When the townspeople around saw the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, they all showed disgust on their faces.

These people eat the salaries of the imperial court and drink the blood of the common people. None of them is a good person.

"What are you looking at, a bunch of unruly people?" Li Mingfu looked around and shouted, "If you look again, I will arrest you all."

After hearing this, the townspeople were still very scared and quickly moved away.

"Sir, please come this way." Li Mingfu turned and looked respectfully at Yu Shenhai.

The group went towards Chen Xian's home.

However, the townspeople knew where they were coming and followed quietly behind them.

"Ming'er!"

As soon as they entered the alley, Wang Cheng and his wife saw their son Wang Ming. They walked up to him and grabbed him.

Wang Ming looked embarrassed: "Dad, Mom, I'm on duty, what are you doing?"

"Come here!" Wang Cheng pulled him tightly.

"Dad, let's talk later." Wang Ming didn't listen. He pulled Wang Cheng's hand away and rode towards Chen Xian.

Chen Xian was not at home, so he took his sister to the tailor shop.

But the huge python lying across the yard scared everyone.

Even Yu Shenhai took a deep breath and stared at the giant python in disbelief.

"Well, Chen Xian, how dare you collude with demons?" Wang Ming shouted angrily: "Chen Xian, you murderous devil, you collude with demons, why don't you get out and die!"

Li Mingfu also shouted: "Chen Xian, get out here!"
