Chapter 95 The one who killed the Five Gods was Chen Baxian! (Additional chapters after 3000 votes)
County Magistrate Zhang can not only tell who is big and who is small, but also what is important and what is not.

How can an official position be as important as your life?

Moreover, the "Zhang" in Zhang County Magistrate refers to the Zhang family of Fanyang. The road for the children of a rich family is always wider than that of others.

The soldiers and yamen runners watched as County Lieutenant Zhang left, looking at each other in bewilderment: "Is this even possible?"

But in their hearts, they all had to secretly praise the county lieutenant for his wisdom.

If the officials back down, their subordinates will naturally not dare to stop them.

Chen Erlang swept his stick, and the soldiers and yamen runners immediately retreated to both sides like a tide, making way for the hero.

Ren Yuan and the other two strode into the hall with their heads held high.

In the lobby, Hong Erlang had been keeping an eye on what was happening outside. When he saw Chen Baxian kill Magistrate Zhou, how could he dare to stay any longer?

It immediately transformed into its original form and ran towards the back door. However, as soon as it rushed out of the back hall, a civet cat fell from the sky and covered its eyes tightly.

Hong Erlang shook his horse's head hard, trying to get rid of the wild cat that was covering his face.

Wenli scratched and bit him, holding on tightly and refusing to let go. Hong Erlang's vision was obstructed, and he ran fast, bumping into the doorpost of the rear yamen gate.

The entire bluestone doorpost was smashed into two pieces by him. Hong Erlang was not in a good situation either, he was knocked unconscious and had stars in his eyes.

The only good news was that the annoying wild cat finally jumped away.

Hong Erlang climbed up on all fours and shook his head. Just as he was trying to identify the direction, a fiery red figure rushed over and bit his neck...

~~
Only when it was bright did the people of Changxing City dare to open their doors, quietly stick their heads out, and carefully look around.

The noise of the fight last night could be heard throughout the city. They didn't know what happened, so they could only huddle in their beds and pray that the good guys won.

When it was almost dawn, there was finally no movement outside, and someone brave enough came out to check what was going on.

When the common people heard that Chen Erlang had killed all the Five Gods last night, they naturally didn't believe it at first.

"Is Erlang really that powerful that he could have stripped someone naked and hung upside down at the temple gate last time?" the men said with mixed emotions.

"That's right, that thing hung down past the belly button and was so ugly." The women recalled with relish.

"Can't they find help? If you don't believe me, go to the temple gate and see who is hanging there now?" the person who was trying to get information shouted.

So everyone rushed out of their homes and rushed to Yaqian Street.

Then I saw five skinned mummies hanging neatly under the archway of Wutong Temple.

You can tell them apart at a glance. From left to right, they are monkey, horse, snake, dog, chicken...

Under the memorial archway, on the snow-white screen wall, there were nine blood-red characters written: 'The one who killed the Five Gods was Chen Baxian! '

Only then did the common people believe that Chen Jia Erlang had really killed the Wuchang God.

"Did Chen Erlang really do it?!" the men couldn't believe it.

"Well done Erlang, you are our hero!" The women became crazy about him.

"Has anyone seen Erlang?" people asked again.

"They went north early in the morning and are probably dozens of miles away from the city now." Someone took the initiative to cover for Chen Baxian.

"Alas, I'm afraid Erlang will never come back." The old people sighed, "They killed the gods that the old men worshipped, they won't forgive him." "Erlang, you must come back..." the women said with red eyes. Without Erlang, life would be much less enjoyable.

"Erlang is really great!" The men then offered their sincere praise. There could be no better result than this.

When they mustered up their courage, pushed open the half-open temple door and looked inside, they saw that the temple keeper had already run away.

The common people had no scruples at all and rushed into the temple like a tide, smashing the Wutong statue with a bang. But they were still not satisfied, so they started to demolish the temple and moved everything they could move away...

Ren Yuan and the other two stood in the distance with blinding talismans on their heads, watching everything with a smile on their faces.

"Damn it, I finally got rid of this bad feeling!" Although he couldn't show off in front of others, Chen Baxian still stretched out his body in satisfaction. "Thank you very much, both of you."

"You're welcome." Ren Yuan shook his head and asked with a smile, "It seems that the county magistrate will not hold this account against you openly."

"Of course, the government can't afford to lose this man." Chen Baxian was a few years older after all, and he had worked in government before, so he smiled and said, "We will keep the death a secret for now, and announce his death in a few days."

"Is this matter over?" asked A Yao, who had regained her innocence.

"How is that possible?" Chen Baxian and Ren Yuan shook their heads at the same time. The former said, "Killing a local official is tantamount to treason. They will definitely investigate it thoroughly in private."

"That's why the county magistrate was so fearless, but he didn't expect to run into Brother Chen who is so capable of breaking the rules." Ren Yuan said with a smile.

"That's right, the sky is about to fall, let's run away quickly." Chen Baxian carried a large bag on his back, which was full of his spoils from last night.

Feeling the heavy weight on his back, Chen Baxian grinned and said, "It's true that robbing is more fun. From now on, count me as one of your brothers."

"We rob the rich to help the poor." A Yao protested, "We are not robbing houses."

"Okay, rob the rich and help the poor." Chen Baxian said with a perfunctory smile.

The three of them left Yaqian Street and walked towards the east gate of the city.

Chen Baxian walked very slowly along the way. He greedily looked at the plants and trees on the street, the casinos and brothels, wanting to keep the good days in his memory.

At this time, Ren Yuan asked, "Who else is in your family?"

"My mother died a long time ago, and my father was also angry to death because I was expelled by the Five Gods. Now my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and my unmarried third brother have all been driven out of the city." Chen Baxian smiled sadly.

"Then let's go out of the city and pick them up and go together." Ren Yuan took the initiative to suggest: "If we stay, we will be in trouble."

"No need." Chen Baxian shook his head and said with a smile: "Before you came, I dug out my parents' bones and burned them, and asked my brother to take the urn south to Lingnan."

"Lingnan?"

"Yes. The imperial court is virtually powerless south of the Wuling Mountains. People are killed and then run over there, and no one has ever been caught." Chen Baxian said confidently.

"As long as you have the arrangements." Ren Yuan nodded. With his personality, he would not let Chen Baxian leave his family behind at this time and accompany him to seek medical treatment.

As they were talking, they arrived at the west gate of the city and saw that the gate was wide open. There was no martial law yet. I don't know if the county lieutenant had blocked the news too well, or if he wanted to let them go on purpose...

In short, they left Changxing County without any effort.

After walking a distance, Chen Baxian stopped, looked back for a long time, and sighed: "I don't know if I can come back in this life?"

"It will definitely work!" Ren Yuan was even more confident than him: "When the time comes, I will definitely return home in glory, and everyone will empty the streets to welcome Mr. Chen!"

"Hahaha, thank you for your good words!" Chen Baxian was greatly encouraged when he heard the words, raised his hand and pointed to the southeast and said:
"Let's go. I'll take you to Qiantang to find a doctor!"
