Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 29 The thief who resists arrest should be killed!

After Shanglu killed the man, he threw the butcher knife away.

With a "puff" sound, the butcher knife was inserted directly into the mud.

The scarlet blood flowed down the blade and soaked into the soil, attracting several green-headed flies.

These people from the Black Wind Gang specially sharpened their knives today to make them sharp and bright.

However, they did not expect that the blood that they were unable to draw from Shang Lu would cost them their lives.

After killing these people from the Black Wind Gang, Shang Lu was not in a hurry to go home.

He turned around and shouted towards the left side of his house:
"Uncle Gong! Uncle Gong!"

After a while, a family in front of the left opened the door after hearing the sound.

A gray-haired old man walked out, his wrinkled face full of shock and fear.

He is the village chief of Shuanggui Village, called Uncle Gong by Shanglu.

"Shang Lu, you are too impulsive. You have killed so many people. What should we do? Otherwise, you should just run away."

Uncle Gong had watched Shang Lu grow up since he was a child, and he couldn't bear to see him being caught and imprisoned, so he immediately advised him to run away.

"Why should I run away?"

Shang Lu was not in a hurry at all, and even kicked the corpse on the ground.

"These thieves broke into the house and robbed it, which is a serious crime. They also resisted arrest and attacked and killed the police, which is an even more serious crime. If I kill them, not only will I be acquitted, but I will also get credit!"

Uncle Gong said with a bitter face: "If you were still an official, you would not be guilty of killing them, but you are no longer an official..."

Shang Lu laughed and said, "Uncle Gong, who told you that I'm not an official anymore?"

The reason Uncle Gong was able to become the village chief was not only because of his prestige in the village, but also because of his quick mind.

He was frightened just now and his mind was not thinking clearly.

Hearing Shang Lu's question, he was stunned at first, then he reacted.

"You passed the performance test? You weren't fired?"

Shang Lu nodded and smiled, "He got top marks in the exam. Not only was he not dismissed, he also received a commendation from the court."

"Great, that's great! No wonder you were able to kill these thieves in one go, it turns out you have recovered your cultivation."

Uncle Gong clapped his thigh and cheered, feeling happy for Shang Lu from the bottom of his heart.

If there weren't a few corpses lying on the ground, making him somewhat scared, he would have laughed out loud.

Since Shang Lu was still a regular constable, it was not a big problem for him to kill those members of the Black Wind Gang.

At least in the government office, Shang Lu would definitely not be punished.

Otherwise, if there are thieves causing trouble again in the future, which bailiff would dare to enforce the law?
But if Shang Lu no longer had an official position and was just an ordinary citizen, even if he killed the enemy in self-defense according to the law, with the power of the Black Wind Gang, they could use their connections to turn right into wrong and make him bear the crime of murder.

But the people Shang Lu killed were from the Black Wind Gang after all.

Given the Black Wind Gang's usual arrogance, they will definitely not give up and will take revenge.

So Uncle Gong was only happy for a moment, and then he started to worry about Shang Lu again.

Shang Lu was not worried at all and interrupted Uncle Gong's chatter:
"Uncle Gong, please help me find a cart and move the bodies of these thieves up there. I'll take them to the government office tomorrow morning and have them convicted and the case closed."

Uncle Gong saw Shang Lu's reaction and knew that he didn't take his concerns to heart.

With a sigh, he stopped trying to persuade Shang Lu and turned to help find a cart, thinking about how to help Shang Lu. After all, he was a child from the village, and Uncle Gong hoped that Shang Lu would get better and better.

While Shang Lu was waiting for Uncle Gong to bring the cart, he searched the bodies of several Black Wind Gang members and found some copper coins and small change. He placed them beside his door, turned around, and said loudly to the seemingly empty village:

"Fellow villagers whose property has been robbed by these people from the Black Wind Gang can come and take some money to compensate for your losses."

These people from the Black Wind Gang have been staying in Shuanggui Village for some time.

Although they did not attack Shang Lu's family due to orders from above, many families in the village suffered from their harm.

Either they steal the chicken from this house, or they eat the dog from that house.

It is said that widows in the village have also been harassed by them.

So at this moment, after hearing Shang Lu's words and seeing the copper coins and silver displayed, although the villagers were afraid of the corpses on the ground, some of them still opened the door and came over to receive some money.

Someone took the lead, and then a few more people came out one after another to collect their money.

These villagers who received the money naturally stood on the same boat with Shang Lu.

At least when the government sent people to inquire about the situation, they would help Shang Lu confirm that the members of the Black Wind Gang had indeed committed acts such as breaking into houses and robbing and killing officials.

Otherwise, not only would the government demand back the money they earned today, but they would also be severely fined.

But what they needed to prove was the truth, so they felt at ease taking the money.

Some people even spat on the corpses on the ground after taking the money, cursing that the Black Wind Gang members deserved to be killed.

Uncle Gong quickly found a cart, and Shang Lu threw all the bodies on the ground onto the cart, one in each hand.

Then he pushed the cart to an empty dam in the village to avoid leaving it at his doorstep, which would not only bring bad luck but also attract flies with its smell.

After doing all this, Shang Lu clapped his hands.

He first thanked Uncle Gong for his help, then opened his voice and said loudly to the villagers who finally dared to come out to watch the excitement:

"It's late today, my parents were frightened, and there are still several corpses in the village. It's really not a good time to celebrate."

"Tomorrow, after I deliver these corpses to the government office, I will come back and set up a buffet and invite all the villagers to come and have a feast to celebrate my passing the performance test and receiving the imperial award."

Everyone responded and said they would definitely come.

Some people even asked Shang Lu to go home quickly, saying that his parents must be frightened and asked him to go back and comfort them.

Shang Lu bowed to these people and thanked them, and took the opportunity to say: "My parents were indeed frightened and need to rest. I appreciate your concern, but today, please don't disturb their rest."

Everyone agreed again that even though a few people heard that Shang Lu had kept his position as a regular constable and wanted to come over to get close to him and build some relationships, they had to suppress the idea for the time being and wait until tomorrow.

Shang Lu said goodbye to his fellow villagers and strode back home.

When he entered the main room and saw that his parents were indeed fine, the last worry in his heart finally settled down.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Lu saw the familiar blood-red figure beside his parents again.

This figure is as reassuring as ever.

"I'm back."

Shang Lu looked at the blood-red figure and smiled gently.

"Sanniang, thank you for your hard work. Thank you."
