An Ape of Divine Power

Chapter 6

Zhang Long rode fast on a horse and held up the decree. He ran all the way, shouting that he would kill someone. However, he arrived at the execution ground. As a result, he was still a chess guard. He was said to be the first to be killed by Ding Ning. He watched the executioner chop off the heads of Mrs. Wang and the other slaves. The execution ground was full of blood and looked terrible. The people around the execution ground cried out, all of them crying and shouting. Zhang Long realized that the execution time was ahead of time, so he had no choice but to take off his clothes and wrap Mrs. Wang's body to report to Ding Hao.

At this time, Baosu was hurrying to the execution ground with the officials and others. On the way, he saw Ma Long holding Mrs. Wang's body in his arms and found that he couldn't rest in peace. When he thought that all these consequences were caused by him, he felt that he had no face to see Pan Qiang anymore and immediately fainted. Everyone quickly carried him back to the mansion.

When Empress Dowager Yang came back in a hurry, she saw that things had already happened. Although she felt very sad, there was nothing she could do. She just blamed Zhao Yuan, comforted him that the salary was normal, and fined him a year's salary as a way to comfort the people.

Although Madam Wang had been punished for a year, he didn't care. Apart from the troubles in his heart, the depression that had been suppressed for a long time finally dissipated. Although the Empress Dowager had issued an edict to stop pursuing this matter, to prevent accidents from happening, she still secretly sent troops to kill Pan Qiang in order to prevent any accidents from happening.

After returning to the mansion, Ding Ning called some officials who were good to him in daily life, and they prepared a feast to celebrate. In the evening, all the officials left. He was drunk and couldn't stand the raging fire in his heart anymore. He couldn't help but carry the two women to bed and eat a pill. Then he began to have s*x. The two women weren't good people. Seeing a Magistrate's husband died, and the minister was promoted, they all used their skills to make Ding Ning feel comfortable. They hoped to have the opportunity to stay in the capital and continue to enjoy the prosperity and wealth.

A few days later, Ding Ning was tired of them. He thought that keeping them would be a disaster. If Bao knew the truth, it would be troublesome. So he ordered someone to kill them secretly and bury them. Then he let Teacher Liu go back to be a County Magistrate. Teacher Liu could be a County Magistrate, so he kept his mouth shut.

###Chapter7,Entering the Divine Dragon Pillar

Besides, the group of people including Pan Qiang killed the officer on that day, and asked Fang Yi and Fang Yu to dress up as officers and soldiers to follow the team. After a day of rushing, they arrived at a village called Guo Jiawan, located in Ten Development County in the evening of the second day.

This was a sparsely populated village. Due to the fact that it was situated deep in the mountains, it was sparsely populated, and the customs of the people were rather dull. In addition, there were some demon events that had taken place here a few days ago, so everyone was currently in a panic. Many of the more timid people had also moved to the distant villages to avoid disaster.

Pan Qiang looked at the rugged mountain road ahead and found it difficult to ride a horse. It was a dark night, so it was inconvenient to walk. He decided to rest in the village for a night and then set off tomorrow. He could find a local villager to guide him.

After making up their mind, they rode their horses into the village.

When the villagers saw Pan Qiang and his men entering the village, they thought that nearby mountain villains came to rob again. They were so scared that they hid at home and dared not come out. Some bold people also peeped through the c***k of the door. The timid ones had already hidden in the bunker. The whole family huddled up, waiting for misfortune to come.

Pan Qiang and others went around more than half of the village and found the doors of the houses closed. They felt that something was wrong. After passing through a house, he ordered Liu Zhen to knock on the door.

Liu Zhen obeyed and went up to knock on the door. He had no choice but to return empty-handed as no one responded.

Pan Qiang was extremely frustrated. Fang Yi walked up to him and said, "Sir, I'm a woman. I can't pose a threat to them, and it's convenient for me to talk. Why don't I give it a try?"

Pan Qiang thought about it and agreed.

Fang Yi went to the door, gently knocked and shouted a few times. At this time, the door slowly opened a c***k, and half a head came out. It was a man of about 30 years old. Seeing that she was a woman, he asked timidly, "Are... Are you bandits on the mountain? We have nothing to eat. I beg you to let us go!" After that, he was about to close the door.

When Fang Yi heard that he had misunderstood, he quickly said, "Big Brother, we are the soldiers sent by the imperial court to exterminate the demon people. We are not bandits and will not hurt you. That is our general. Because we are passing by, we want to find a place to rest for a while. I wonder if you can do us a favor?" After saying this, he saw that the people did not seem to understand, so he spoke in English again. It turned out that these ten scabs and Xiangyang were originally neighbors. Their languages were roughly linked, so they could understand each other's words.

"Aren't you bandits? Are you coming to fight bandits?" The villager didn't understand Fang Yi's official language at first. Now that he heard her using the dialect of his hometown, he felt a sense of intimacy. The door opened a little, and he leaned out and looked outside. He found that she didn't look like a bandit, who was wearing official clothes, so he ventured to ask.

"Yeah! Could you please let us in to have a drink?" Fang Yi saw that Fang Yan's words were effective, so she quickly asked again.

"Alright then!" The villager finally relaxed. He plucked up the courage to agree to Fang Yi's request and opened the door once more.

Fang Yi was very happy to hear this and quickly waved at Pan Qiang.

When Pan Qiang saw Fang Yi waving his hand, he ordered all the soldiers to dismount and loudly ordered that all the soldiers were not allowed to harass the villagers without authorization. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be beheaded.

The group of people had just entered the yard wall made of mud and did not enter the house. They just stood inside in a neat manner and filled a whole yard.

Pan Qiang and Fang Yi followed the villager into the house, only to find that the house was so poor that it was as if it had been washed away. There was not even a stool to sit on.

Unlike the bandits, the villagers didn't rush into a room where they would rob people of their belongings. They moved into a large porcelain jar and revealed a small round cave that was half a meter in diameter. The man shouted at the cave. Pan Qiang didn't understand what he was shouting and didn't know what he was shouting. While he was thinking, a 30-year-old village woman came up from below, followed by a 30-year-old man and two three-year-old children. It was then that the man called his family.

When all the people came out, the villagers moved the porcelain pot to the entrance of the cave.

Pan Qiang bowed to the old man and said with a smile, "Sir, a group of our men has been ordered by the imperial court to kill the evil people. When we passed by here, it's getting late and we want to sleep here. It's inconvenient to disturb you."

Seeing Pan Qiang bow to him, the old man was scared and quickly knelt down. Because in his mind, it was always the ordinary people's salute to the officials, and officials never saluted the ordinary people, so he felt a little flattered. The family members behind him saw him kneel down and also hurriedly followed him. Two children did not know how to behave and did not kneel. The villagers suddenly pulled them to kneel down, but the children were scared to cry.

Pan Qiang saw that the whole family was kneeling down in front of him, so he quickly helped the old man to stand up.

The elder stood up with hesitation, and only then did the other families dare to stand up one after another. They looked at their son in confusion again, as if they didn't understand what Pan Qiang was saying.

Pan Qiang immediately understood and winked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi quickly stepped forward and spoke to the old man with a dialect, "Sir, we are sent by the imperial court to kill the evil people who have harmed the local people. You don't have to be afraid. We will leave tomorrow."

It was only after listening that the old man understood why they were here. When he saw Fang Yi speaking their dialect, he felt that it was strange and quickly asked, "Miss, you can also say this language. Could it be that you're also a local?"

"My family has lived in Xinye County in Fan City for generations. A few days ago, my family was killed by a dog-like official. My sister and I were taken away and nearly suffered from the persecution. Thanks to Lord Pan's help, we were able to escape. Because we had no one to rely on, I was taken in by Lord Meng and became a military maidservant." Hearing his question, Fang Yi briefly introduced her family background.

"Oh? The young lady's life is really rough. Fortunately, the lord saved her. It seems that the lord must be an upright official." The old lady originally thought that since ancient times, there had been officials protecting her. Now that she heard Fang Yi say that Lord Pan had killed an official, she had a favorable impression of him. She turned around and said to Lord Pan, "Sir, the country bumpkins have nothing to take care of. I'll ask my family to prepare some porridge and food for everyone to quench our thirst."

"I don't dare to bother you, sir. We soldiers have all brought some dry food. All we need to do is borrow some clean water." Pan Qiang saw the disciples of his family living on the four walls. His life must be peaceful. He secretly thought that if he gave all the food to the soldiers, his future life would inevitably be more difficult. How could he feel at ease?

"Okay! I will go to the mountains to get the clear water that needs. You can have a rest." After the old man finished, he winked at his son, and the two went out to get water.

After a while, when the water came, Pan Qiang took the group of people out of the yard and found an open space outside to bury the pot and cook rice.

The villagers nearby saw that they were not bandits, so they gathered around and did not dare to approach them. They just hid far away and watched.
