Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 320 - 141: Heading to the Great Zhou Imperial City! The Destiny Coffin Escapes Again! (10,000-Word Mega - , Subscription Requested)_1
Although the scene before his eyes seemed somewhat brutal, Fan Wu felt he was eliminating a threat for the people, and so no matter how cruel the scene, the phrase "eliminating a threat for the people" made it seem righteous and glorious.
If only he could dispel that thick scent of blood wafting in the air, the feeling of being "righteous and glorious" would be even stronger.
The members of the Fu Clan’s main family were already lying all over the ground.
In just a few days’ time, the vast Fu Clan mansion was once again littered with one corpse after another.
This only added to the bloody atmosphere of the place.
It also added a bit more gloom.
Of course... among the group brought by the Fu Clan’s main family, a large part were ordinary people without any cultivation, such as the Escort Masters who act as minions, the coachmen who drive the horses, or simply laborers exerting their strength.
For commoners like these, even if Fan Wu killed them, they wouldn’t drop any Free Attribute Points.
So, they were still alive.
However... those who were alive were even more terrified than the members of the Fu Clan’s main family, who had been dead for who knows how long. The sight of one corpse after another on the ground made their legs go weak with fear!
These people were originally busy moving the remaining valuables that could be taken from the Fu Clan mansion within the Prefecture.
Things like antique paintings and calligraphy.
Things like gold and silver jewelry.
Things like talismans and magic artifacts.
But now, they no longer dared to touch these things, and even the gold and silver jewelry they were carrying felt like a heavy burden, scorching hot to the touch.
They hurriedly threw aside what they held, their faces full of fear.
All were sweating profusely!
Terror-stricken to the extreme!
"Hero... Taoist Priest! My lord! My lord! It has nothing to do with us!" A somewhat clever coachman went weak in the knees and knelt down before Fan Wu. With snot and tears flowing, he sobbed, "I... I’m just a coachman employed by the Fu family, nothing but a man who drives a carriage!"
"Yes! Yes!" The people beside him immediately mimicked him, knees buckling as they knelt down, "My lord, we are innocent, we were forced into this!"
"My lord! Please, spare our lives!!"
"Wuuu... My lord, I have elders above and youngsters below, and there’s a fair maiden in my home... If you would be willing to let me off, my lord, I will present the fair maiden from my home to serve you as a slave or concubine! I only beg you to spare my life."
"It has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!"
"It’s all that Fu... Fu Yuantong’s fault! Yes! It’s all Fu Yuantong’s fault, he’s the one who paid us to come here to do this arduous labor!"
"My lord, we don’t share the Fu surname, we have no connection with the Fu Clan!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Wuuu!"
"..."
One by one, people knelt in a mass, legs trembling, all wailing and calling for help, some even frantically kowtowing to Fan Wu, their heads bleeding from the impact.
The scene resembled a group of fanatical worshippers kneeling before a rustic village teacher.
It was very strange.
It’s not surprising that they were so abject, for the corpses on the ground were disturbingly mangled, not a single one left intact. Some bodies were even broken into pieces, with shards of flesh scattered over the ground.
The only relatively whole corpse, presumably Fu Yuantong, seemed to have had his head smashed and flew off, dying a confounding death.
At this time, Si Ma Hundred Households had been helped up by his men from the Qintian Judiciary, and his serious abdominal injury had been bandaged.
Looking at the group of wailing and pleading individuals on the ground,
Si Ma Hundred Households, with a dark expression, coldly chastised, "Whether you have any association with Fu Yuantong or not isn’t something you can simply clear up with your testimony! Arrest them all! No one gets away; throw every single one of them into the dungeons of the Qintian Judiciary!"
"Yes, Hundred Households my lord!" The already frustrated members of the Qintian Judiciary immediately pounced like hungry wolves.
Why were they so frustrated? It was naturally because they were inexplicably attacked today.
Being attacked was one thing, but they were actually at a disadvantage!
This was a disgrace to the Qintian Judiciary!
Even more frustrating was the fact that if not for Daoist Priest Fan’s timely arrival, they might have very likely died at the hands of the Fu Clan’s main family! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
As for this group of Qintian Judiciary members, capturing some ordinary people was not a problem at all.
Soon...
One by one, the individuals were apprehended, and no amount of crying or pleading mattered; the Qintian Judiciary members were well experienced with such people and wouldn’t let the pleas get to them.
Throwing them into the dungeons of the Qintian Judiciary, letting them sit for a couple of days, would make them compliant.
They would know what to say.
After all...
The cells in the Qintian Judiciary Dungeon were quite empty recently, so locking up a few hundred people was not a problem!
There were enough cells to accommodate them!
Si Ma Hundred Households approached Fan Wu with a look of shame, saying, "I didn’t expect... to trouble Daoist Priest Fan again this time. If it weren’t for your rescue, I dare not imagine what would have happened today."
As he spoke, Si Ma Hundred Households expressed his outrage, "I also didn’t expect the Fu Clan’s main family to be so arrogant, so brazen, completely disregarding the law of the Great Zhou!"
