Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chapter 206: The Old Woman from the Farm (14)

After a few screams, several women with children fled in panic. Most people took a few steps back and looked at Xie Lang vigilantly, fearing that Xie Lang would rush over and eat them the next moment.

"Ahhh... Catch her quickly. No matter if she is a monster or not, I want her to pay for my son's eyes." Mrs. Zhang wanted to rush over and tear Xie Lang apart alive with her teeth and claws bared.

The officers sent to arrest Xie Lang unconsciously tightened their swords at their waists and stared at Xie Lang vigilantly.

"Dear officers, please arrest her quickly!" Seeing that the officers only looked alert but did not take any action, Lin Dagui urged them anxiously.

Xie Lang showed no emotion, she walked towards the officer calmly. Every time she took a step forward, the nearby villagers would take a step back and consciously make way for her.

The yamen runners became more cautious.

"Are you here to arrest me?" Xie Lang walked in front of the captain of the police. Lin Dagui and his son were hiding behind him. When they saw Xie Lang approaching, they couldn't help but recall the scenes of being abused by Xie Lang before, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell down.

"Yes, your husband and son reported you to the police, saying you are a monster, and the county magistrate asked us to take you to the government office for questioning."

The captain of the police had been observing Xie Lang since he saw her for the first time. She had an indescribable aura about her. It was hard to explain. It was a kind of indifference that was detached from this world, but also a disregard for everyone.

This kind of temperament is not something a country woman can cultivate, and even the dignitaries he met did not have this kind of bearing.

So he guessed that the other person was indeed not Zhang Guihua herself, but he didn't believe that she was a monster.

Monsters don't have such a clear and transparent temperament.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The captain was stunned when he heard this.

He was here to arrest her, she shouldn't have to resist or knock them all down.

This time he came to capture her fully armed, even he was wearing armor.

How come she didn't even resist and just surrendered, making all his preparations go to waste?

Is it so easy to arrest her?

Except for the captain of the police, the other yamen runners could no longer hold back their expressions.

"What? Aren't you leaving yet?" Seeing the captain standing there in a daze, Xie Lang asked a little impatiently.

"Ah this...shouldn't you resist a little?"

The captain was a little puzzled, but Xie Lang just looked at him like he was a fool: "Whether to leave or not, I don't have that much patience."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the head constable's face, and then he chuckled to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "In this case, please come with me. The county magistrate just wants to ask some questions. If you are really not a monster, he will naturally not embarrass you."

Xie Lang did not resist. The ropes, chains and various weapons he had people prepare were of no use. He was not even handcuffed.

Fortunately, he didn't let him wear it, otherwise Xie Lang would let him know why the flowers were so red the next moment.

The expressions of Lin Dagui and his son turned very ugly. Xie Lang looked at Lin Dagui and said with a half-smile, "Son, you disappoint me so much."

Lin Dagui was so frightened that he couldn't even stand properly.

Of course, Xie Lang soon stopped looking at him. His face became calm as usual. He walked in front, with Jiang Li and Lin Daya following behind.

The captain of the police followed after seeing this, and although Wang Dagui and his son were trembling in their hearts, they also followed because the lawsuit required the presence of their client.

As Xie Lang walked by, the villagers consciously made way for him to pass unhindered. Then, some people who wanted to watch the fun followed the large group from a distance.

As for Mrs. Zhang and her son, they were also taken away by the bailiffs as witnesses. However, she had always wanted to kill Xie Lang desperately. She only calmed down after being scolded by her husband who came rushing over. However, the resentment in her eyes did not disappear. Instead, she became even more vicious.

So the following scene is like this.

Xie Lang walked in front, with an extraordinary demeanor.

The armored yamen runners walked behind her, like they were protecting her.

When the pedestrians on the road saw this, they all avoided her and some even whispered about which noble family she was from.

"A noble? What noble needs to be escorted by the imperial guards? Didn't you see those guards carrying handcuffs and other instruments for arresting criminals?"

"But they don't look like prisoners. What prisoner would walk in the front row of the yamen runners? I think the ones at the back are prisoners, but the one at the front should be the wife of an official. That doesn't make sense. What lady would walk with the yamen runners? And even if they were traveling, they should ride in a sedan chair instead of showing up like this."

The pedestrians on the street were puzzled, but they just talked about it in low voices.

Soon, they arrived at the county government office.

The county magistrate arrived in the court.

Zhang Tieniu and Zhang Dagui knelt nervously below, while Xie Lang stood beside them.

Although she was not in the most central place, she was the focus just by standing there.

As this case has attracted so much attention, the trial was held in public. The county magistrate opened the gate of the county government office and allowed the public to watch from the empty seats at the back of the court.

Jiang Li, Lin Daya and a group of witnesses were arranged to wait in a side room next to the court.

"How dare you! Why don't you kneel in front of the county magistrate?" In the court, seeing that Xie Lang did not kneel before the county magistrate like Lin Dagui and his son did, one of the yamen runners scolded her.

"In this life, I will not worship heaven and earth, nor will I respect ghosts and gods. How can ordinary people be worthy of me kneeling down to them?"

Everyone in the house was shocked!

It's really unbelievable.

Everyone looked at him in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xie Lang's words were no different from treason. She did not worship heaven and earth, nor did she respect ghosts and gods. She also said that the county magistrate was an ordinary man. Does this mean that she would not kneel to the emperor? After all, the emperor was also an ordinary man in her eyes.

Such outrageous remarks made everyone dumbfounded. Some people were so angry that they pointed at Xie Lang and said, "You..."

In the end, I didn’t know what to say.

But after Xie Lang finished speaking, his expression was calm, as if he was just stating a fact.

"Silence." The county magistrate was shocked, but soon calmed down, slammed the gavel, and officially began the trial: "Are you Lin He?"

The county magistrate chose to ignore Xie Lang's rudeness because he had reviewed He Guihua's life before trying the case.

The information about her was very complete. She was a normal peasant woman. The only thing that was unusual about her was that she lived a wealthy life after her son married the daughter of Mr. Jiang, a wealthy businessman in town.

But no matter what, I won't have this kind of temperament, let alone say such ignorant words.

A person's vision and character are closely related to the environment in which he grows up.

But as a scholar, he believed in the principle of 'respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance'. Ghosts and gods do exist, but he would not believe them easily, as words alone are not enough to prove anything unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Moreover, there are records of drastic changes in personality among the ancients. He didn't quite believe the villagers who said she was a monster.

"Lin Heshi? Are you sure you're calling me that? I have a name. Call me He Guihua. Please call me again." Xie Lang frowned and corrected her politely.

She naturally felt displeased with the title Lin Heshi. A daughter-in-law of the Lin family with the surname He?

Although it is normal for people in this world, she has the power to subvert this world.

Follow the rules of this world? What a joke.

Only others follow her rules, but she never follows others' rules.

Don't ask, the answer is that she is just so unreasonable.
