Chapter 139 Swear
On the official road in the city of Taikang County, several official servants walked swaggeringly with steps that their relatives did not recognize.
Ordinary people around would shy away three points when they saw them, which shows that these official posts have an extremely bad reputation on weekdays.
One of the leading officials threw a piece of broken silver in his hand and said with a smile;
"I have enough money to listen to Qu'er today. I'll find a few lucrative companies at noon, and make a good profit. How about rewarding a little lady for each person at night, hahaha."
The official who was half a body behind next to him came up and asked;
"Boss, the little lady on the table just now looks good, why didn't the boss..."
The little official did not continue to say the following words, but the meaning was already obvious.
The leading officer glared at him, shook his head and said, "Or just say, you still have too little experience."
"Judging from the clothes of those two people, they are not civilians, and they look unfamiliar, they should not be locals of Taikang County."
"I'm not sure whether they came here to make a living, or whether the powerful young master or eldest lady came here to play."
"So I asked that old thing to collect their money, one for the money, and the other for testing those two people."
"If they pay for it with a penny, I will definitely not let that little lady go. Her beauty is really amazing, and she is more beautiful than the oiran in our city."
As he spoke, the leading officer couldn't help showing yearning, and the little officials following behind him showed their true feelings even more, and all kinds of obscenities rang out one after another.
"But!" the chief officer changed the subject and said seriously;
"The young man who looked only half handsomer than me, he took out a penny and said he didn't need to change it."
"This kind of behavior is only what those dandy brothers with big families and careers can do. Now you understand."
After hearing this, all the small officials suddenly realized, and then all kinds of rainbow farts came one after another, making the leading official very comfortable.
But they didn't notice, as they walked, a mist slowly rose around them at some point.
When they noticed something, they found that they were already in a deserted alley.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"That's right, we should be able to walk to the Yamen road with our eyes closed. Why did we go wrong today?"
"No! It's not that we went wrong, it's that we fell into someone else's way!"
The leading officer was the first to react, he pulled out his saber from his waist with a swish, and looked around vigilantly.
The other small officials also drew their knives, but the next moment, they froze.
Because a demon with a human upper body and a smoke lower body appeared in front of them.
But the most important thing is not these, but the face of the devil.
A flat face, a pair of mung bean eyes, a bulbous nose, half pockmarked half face...
This appearance, looks extremely ferocious.
"Ghost!"
All the petty officials screamed in unison, and then they all fainted.
The only one who was still standing was the leader officer, but he couldn't help his legs trembling in the face of such a "ferocious" demon.
"W-Where are you evildoers... dare to commit murder in the streets of our Taikang county town..."
The leading official said it was tough, but his confidence was obviously lacking, and he was almost unable to hold the knife steadily.
The demon spirit said in a low voice, "I am the emissary of the underworld. You have oppressed the people and done many evils all year round. Today, I will take your life!"
bang.
The leading officer could no longer hold the knife, and knelt down to beg for mercy;
"My lord, the Messenger of the Underworld, the little one is convicted, the little one is convicted... I also beg you to spare my life, the little one will never dare again..."
On the other side, Ling Yuyan, who was hiding in the dark watching this scene, cast an appreciative look at Wang Liang next to him, and said via voice transmission;
"Junior brother is really thoughtful. Using demon spirits to frighten them so that they don't dare to bully the people in the future is indeed more useful than teaching them a lesson."
Wang Liang smiled and replied, "I also remembered that the first time we saw the genie in Aladdin's magic lamp, we were almost taken aback by his appearance."
"Think about it, it's not very reliable to make a wish to it, so I have to change my mind and use the waste..."
"Ah Choo!" The demon spirit sneezed for no reason as he was frightening the leading officer.
"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?" The demon muttered as he rubbed his index finger under his nose.
"not me."
"not me."
"Not me either."
Listening to the series of nervous answers, the leading officer turned his head to look at his little brothers.
"You...were you pretending to be dizzy just now?"
Those petty officials quickly got up, all with embarrassed smiles on their faces, and some quibbled;
"Boss, how can I, I was too sleepy just now, I squinted for a while... Hey, hey, boss, I have something to say, don't use a knife..."
Under the threat of the devil's cruelty, several officials swore that they would absolutely do their duty in the future and would never do anything to bully the people again.
After they left the alley, they still whispered to each other with lingering fear;
"Hey, tell me, is that really an emissary from the underworld?"
"I think it's possible, except for those who come out of the underworld, who can grow up like that."
"And when he asked us to swear, he used a spell to shield us from each other, so we couldn't hear other people's swearing, and it looked quite real."
"But... do we really want to be honest in the future and stop making money?"
"That's right, if you don't make money, how much we owe you as an official. By the way, what oath did you all swear?"
At this time, the leading official almost smiled complacently; "Hey, I kept an eye out."
"I swear that if I bully the people again, my parents will die, but my parents have already passed away."
The little brothers were taken aback for a moment, and then gave thumbs up one after another; "Hey, the boss is really smart."
The leading officer continued, "Actually, I think, swearing or something is like nonsense."
"And the messenger from the underworld, I guess, is a cultivator, just using some kind of magic to frighten us."
"Well, let me make a sample for you first. If I'm fine, then we can do what we should do in the future."
Saying that, the leading official sent confidently to a vegetable stall on the street.
Behind the vegetable stall was an elderly woman. When she saw an official coming towards her, she was afraid and unable to dodge because of her limited mobility.
Soon, the leader official came to the booth, looking at the baskets of fresh vegetables, a grin appeared on his face.
But just when he was about to kick over the vegetable basket, a little brother ran over and grabbed him in time.
"What are you doing?" The leading officer glared at the little brother.
I saw the little brother smiled embarrassingly, "That...boss, I suddenly remembered that when I swore, I accidentally smacked my lips."
The leading official looked surprised; "Then what do I do?"
The little brother scratched his head and said weakly, "I said... If we bully the people again, we will be killed on the spot, and the whole family will die..."
When the little brother said the word "we", he especially emphasized his tone.
Hearing this, the leading official sent his raised foot back silently, then coughed and said righteously;
"I suddenly felt that...in the past, our awareness was too low. As officials, it is our duty to serve the people wholeheartedly."
After speaking, he left the booth with his little brothers.
Just walking, suddenly turned around, stared at the little brother, gritted his teeth and said word by word;
"Remember! Next time swear, don't involve others!"
