Chapter 87: The sky is darkest before dawn
After Shen Lang and Chen Buyong had lunch, they staggered out of the Shen Mansion and came to the street.
"Have you heard? Mr. Xiao is simply a beast in human clothing. He raped and abused six young girls!" An old lady holding eggs said to five or six other old ladies in a very emotional voice.
"No way! It's obvious that more than a dozen, or even twenty young girls were raped!" An old lady carrying eggs retorted, "I watched it all today. The tools they used were all kinds of strange, and there was even a grape rack!"
"He looks so well-dressed, but he is so perverted!" Several middle-aged women echoed, their faces full of anger.
"Not only that, the man also drew the process of the violence!" A man with a pointed chin and monkey face who was passing by quickly added.
"What? That shameless guy even drew it!" The old lady sitting on the steps stood up suddenly and exclaimed when she heard it.
"That's right. The painting is simply disgusting!" said the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
…
"I saw it with my own eyes. Even though Xiao Daoyun was caught in the act, he refused to admit it!" An old man in his seventies spoke in the teahouse, his face filled with indignation.
"That was too shameless. I trusted him for so many years. Now I am really scared when I think about it!" The old man in his sixties said, "He even touched my granddaughter's face!"
"Nothing happened afterwards, right?" asked the fat old man next to him.
"He wanted my granddaughter to work in his house, but the old woman refused, saying that she was still young and should wait until she was older!" The old man in his sixties said, "Fortunately she didn't go, otherwise she would have been abused by that beast!"
“It’s really God’s blessing!”
…
"When I grow up, I want to be a rich man, as rich as Mr. Xiao, and help the poor!" A 167-year-old child was running on the street, holding a candied haws in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Don't do that! That Mr. Xiao is a beast. He is the one who ruined my sister!" A child in his teens said hurriedly, "If you become a person like him, your father and your relatives will not want you anymore!"
"That's so bad! Then I won't be a rich man!" Upon hearing this, the six or seven-year-old child immediately shook his head, took a bite of the candied haws, and ran to a couple who were selling fruits nearby.
"Dad, Mom, Mr. Xiao is so bad. I don't want to be like him!" said the six or seven-year-old child naively.
"Be good, son. If you want to be an official, be like Lord Wang, a good official who is not afraid of the powerful!" The man said as he sold fruit: "Specialize in catching beasts in human form like Mr. Xiao!"
"Well, I have to study hard!"...
Shen Lang and Chen Buyong walked all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and heard about Xiao Daoyun's "heroic deeds" all the way. Even children of six or seven years old knew about Xiao Daoyun's "glorious history". It could be said that Xiao Daoyun was well-known throughout the entire Baiyun City, and even more "famous" than before.
"Good fellow, in just one day, Xiao Daoyun's image of a "good guy" has turned into that of a "bad guy"! " Chen Buyong grinned as he listened to the discussions on the street."
"What people say is really scary!"
Shen Lang put his hands behind his head with a smile and said, "If you don't draw your sword, someone else will draw their sword and stab you!"
"By then, you will be the one who dies!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Buyong shrugged his shoulders, followed Shen Lang into the City Lord's Mansion, and knocked on the City Lord's door.
With a "creak", Qingsi opened the door and welcomed Shen Lang and Chen Buyong in. They saw the butler kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, and there was a pool of blood on the ground in front of him.
"What is this?" Shen Lang was a little surprised and looked at the green hair.
"He poisoned the medicine and was discovered by my uncle!" Qingsi said with a gloomy face.
"Oh!" Shen Lang nodded and looked at the city lord who was leaning against the head of the bed. His face was covered with frost and he was holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, which was steaming.
"City Lord!" Shen Lang and Chen Buyong walked up to the City Lord and saluted.
"Yes!" The city lord nodded, put the medicine on the table, and looked at the housekeeper: "You have been with me for so many years, I didn't expect you to betray me!"
"hehe!"
The butler sneered. Because several teeth in his mouth had been knocked out, the laughter coming out of his mouth was a bit weird and creepy. He slowly raised his head and looked at the city lord: "I only regret that I didn't poison you to death directly to prevent future troubles!"
"Damn it!" Qingsi heard it and stepped forward and kicked the butler in the face . The butler fell to the ground with a thud and spat out a few teeth.
"Hehe." The butler laughed strangely, lying on the ground, staring at Qingsi: "If I let a bandit molested you, you would not be alive in this world!"
"Did you assign a bandit to kidnap me?" When Qingsi heard this, his face became even colder and his whole body trembled.
“Hehe…”
The butler laughed strangely and looked at Shen Lang: "You won't live much longer!"
When Shen Lang heard this, he immediately laughed out loud: "I'm afraid he will live longer than you!"
"Just wait for your death. None of you will survive and you will all be buried with me!" The butler lay on the ground and laughed strangely again.
"Damn it!" Qingsi gritted her teeth and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Shen Lang.
"What is your purpose?" The city lord got down from the bed.
The housekeeper was stunned when he saw that the city lord could actually get out of bed: "You...you...how can you walk?"
"I also want to thank you for poisoning me. It turned a disaster into a blessing and allowed me to come back from the gates of hell!" The city lord said lightly, with his hands behind his back.
When the housekeeper heard this, his face turned pale and he sighed: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"
"There are many unexpected things, far more than just this!" Shen Lang looked at the butler on the ground and spoke with a smile.
"What is your purpose? Tell me. Considering your hard work over the years, I will give you a quick death!" The city lord looked down at the butler on the ground and said calmly.
"Do you think I will tell you?" the butler sneered.
"If you are so stubborn, I will send you to death!" The city lord said, and waved his right hand, and a stream of martial energy shot out. In the blink of an eye, the butler's body and head were separated.
Afterwards, the city lord called his confidants to handle everything.
"City Lord, everything is going smoothly on my side!" Shen Lang said while sitting on a chair.
The city lord nodded. He had already changed into the city lord's robe and sat on the chair: "Today is the last day, so be more careful!"
Shen Lang was stunned: "What does the city lord mean?"
"I'm afraid it won't end so easily!" The city lord stood up from his chair, walked to the window, and said lightly.
"It's darkest before dawn!"
