Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

The next day, the whole county was in mourning.

It seemed that everyone had finally come to terms with the disaster, and that they had stopped running for their lives and finally had the energy to cry for their deceased loved ones.

When the top scholar Xie Pingzhang stood on the makeshift altar and lit the huge tripod in the middle.

The paper money in the tripod burned instantly, and the flames shot out high.

As the smoke slowly rose, the people present could no longer bear it and knelt on the ground crying and wailing.

They cried for their dead relatives and their hopeless future lives.

They also cried because the imperial reinforcements had been delayed in arriving, causing them to fall into this unexpected disaster.

Obviously...

They had obviously tried their best to comfort the victims and bought so much time!

Xie Pingzhang was standing on the altar and naturally saw all of this.

He was a very smart person. He thought about it on the spot, then waved his hand to let his men come over and whispered something in his ear.

After receiving the order, the subordinates clasped their fists and left.

The county magistrate in the audience saw this scene and guessed something. He looked dejected and was unable to utter a word.

The county lieutenant, county magistrate and others who were originally a little far away from him looked at each other, moved quietly and moved further away from him.

As usual, Xie Pingzhang took out the sacrificial words, read them aloud on the stage, and then threw the things into the tripod.

When he turned around again, the sadness on his face became even more obvious.

He raised his hand to stop everyone, spoke loudly to appease them, and then changed the topic to the truth behind the attack on the county town. "...Yingzhou prefect Sun Jian was corrupt and abused his power, withholding public funds for the river, causing the Yingmen Bridge to be easily washed away by heavy rain, leaving tens of thousands of ordinary people homeless."

"They also colluded with the court officials, deceived their superiors and bullied their subordinates, withheld the relief money from the court, and drove away and harmed the people, causing them to flee to Shengzhou Prefecture."

"The prefect of Shengzhou was deceived by Wu Ming and colluded with him to intercept the petition for help submitted by our county and block all news."

Shengzhou Prefecture is the upper-level prefecture of this county.

The people below widened their eyes and remained silent.

Xie Pingzhang: "Even after the incident, they attempted to stir up conflict between the exiled people and the county in order to intensify the conflict so that they could openly send troops to suppress it."

Xie Pingzhang looked at the county magistrate in the corner and continued, "And the county magistrate's wife, Wu, was deceived by the traitor and secretly opened the city gate for the exiled people without telling anyone, causing the county to fall and the people to fall into war and chaos, and the people are living in misery!"

There was a buzzing sound below!

The county magistrate even covered his face with his hands, ashamed to see people.

The people who learned the truth seemed to have found an outlet for their hatred, and they shouted at the top of their lungs.

"My Lord, kill them, kill them!!!"

Xie Pingzhang waited quietly for everyone to vent their roars for a while before raising his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Xie Pingzhang: "I know what you all mean. The court will never let these sinners go."

As he said this, he bowed in the direction of the capital and said, "Your Majesty hates these treacherous ministers and villains, and has ordered me to execute Sun Jian and Wu Ming in public to appease the public anger."

There was a moment of silence in the audience, and then someone took the lead and shouted, "Bitch Wu, and her too!"

Others echoed.

"Kill her!"

"My son was killed by the disaster victims! It's all this bitch's fault! Kill her!"

“So does my grandson.”

"And my brother"

......

The crowd below the stage was noisy and everyone clenched their fists, as if they would never give up unless Xie Pingzhang agreed to kill Wu today.

The county magistrate in the corner turned pale immediately, his lips twitched twice, and he looked lifeless.

Xie Pingzhang shouted: "I know everyone hates it, and I hate it too!"

"Such people cannot be appeased unless they are killed."

He raised his hand and pointed in a direction, and everyone looked in that direction.

I saw a man in armor, carrying a woman with disheveled hair and messy clothes, walking towards me.

The woman had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, her hands were covered behind her back, her face was full of panic, and she kept trying to retreat.

But how could she possibly stand up to such a battle-hardened soldier? He carried her to the altar like a chicken.

Then he kicked her on the knee and she immediately knelt down facing everyone.

Most people in the county did not know the county magistrate's wife, but some wealthy families could tell who she belonged to after careful observation.

After all, the county magistrate's wife has been in the county with the county magistrate for more than two years, and has hosted many daily banquets.

But it was precisely because they recognized her that these people hated her even more!

If we were to say who suffered the greatest losses from this disaster, it would undoubtedly be the wealthy families in the county.

Not only were their money and property stolen, but many of their family members also lost their lives at the hands of the victims.

Now that they saw the culprit who opened the city gate, their eyes turned red and they wished they could drink her blood.

One person even rushed to the front of the stage and was about to go up when he was stopped by the soldiers in front.

Xie Pingzhang above glanced at him but did not scold him.

He raised his head and looked at everyone, and continued, "When I left the capital, His Majesty granted me the power to execute first and report later. Today, I will pronounce the verdict here."

"Mr. Wu, for your own selfish gain, privately opened the city gate, causing heavy casualties among the people. Your crime is unforgivable!"

"The sentence shall be immediately passed, and the execution shall be immediate, as a sacrifice to the souls of the innocent people who died in heaven."

Because it was a spur of the moment decision, no executioner was arranged.

Therefore, the soldier who was carrying Wu up did the job, drew his sword and walked in front of Wu.

Wu's eyes suddenly widened, she struggled desperately, shook her head, and crawled back on her knees.

Her face was a mess of snot and tears, and she no longer looked as dignified as before.

The county magistrate watched dejectedly from the audience until the soldiers swung their swords. Only then did he take one last look at Zhang Huang's wife.

Then there was a flash of silver light and a bloody mist filled the air.

The scene was filled with deafening cries.

One by one, they used up all their strength, as if they wanted to cry out all the hatred and pain in their hearts, and then they could stand up and continue living.

The sacrificial ceremony lasted from morning to afternoon, and Grandmother He and her family also attended.

When I came back, although I looked tired, I felt much better mentally.

Su Yan exhaled and just let it go.

County Office

After the sacrifice, everyone followed Xie Pingzhang back to the county government office.

As soon as he entered the house, the county magistrate knelt on the ground.

Xie Pingzhang in front looked back at him, then walked to the top and sat down without saying a word.

The county magistrate, the county lieutenant and Uncle He looked at each other and were too cautious to move.

Xie Pingzhang drank a cup of tea, put the cup heavily on the table, and said sarcastically, "What are you doing, County Magistrate? Threatening me?"

The county magistrate threatened to grab the land with his head, "I dare not."

Xie Pingzhang looked at him and dropped the teacup to the ground.

The porcelain collided with the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, as if hitting everyone's heart.

Xie Pingzhang: "I think you are very powerful! A Jinshi who has studied hard for ten years and fought against thousands of troops is fooled by a woman."

Xie Pingzhang sneered, "Do you think I should believe what you said, or not?"
