I take the unicorn to the world

Chapter 2325 Doubtful
Even though Zhou Ming said so, none of the people in Shenlong County dared to speak up. It would be fine if the county magistrate was dealt with, but if he behaved well, there would be no good end for those who spoke up. Zhou Ming glanced at In the circle, all the villagers were retreating, looking at the county magistrate with a little fear.

Just when Zhou Ming didn't know what to do, the old man Zhang stood up suddenly, knelt down in front of Zhou Ming and Wu Feng, and said, "My lord, since no one dares to say anything, the old man will say that they are going to take my daughter Drowning in Shenlong Lake, I don't want to live anyway... In fact, what the county magistrate said just now is correct, our Shenlong County does offer sacrifices to the Lake Dragon King every year, and we also have to offer some gold and silver things, But in the past, the amount of gold and silver sacrificed was not so much. Over the years, it has been increasing year by year. A few decades ago, it was only some grandparents and wealthy households in the county who offered gold and silver. After arriving in our Shenlong County, even the common people have to donate silver taels. As an old man, I am over [-] this year, and my wife has long since left. In addition to being weak and sick, I can’t go fishing in the lake anymore. I usually rely on my daughter Xiaolan to donate to others. Sewing and tinkering to earn some copper coins to live on. That day, someone came from the yamen and asked the old man to hand over five taels of silver. The Dragon King is a concubine, the old man naturally refused, so they forcibly snatched the old man's daughter away..."

When the old man said this, he was sobbing, his wrinkled face was covered with tears.

Wu Feng was soft-hearted, so he couldn't bear to see such a situation, so he walked over and helped old man Zhang up.

Without saying a word, Zhou Ming walked towards the county magistrate angrily, and kicked the magistrate to the ground with one kick, causing the magistrate to howl in pain.

"Officer dog, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, what else do you have to argue?! Search the people's money, and dare to rob the people's daughters?!"

"I'm wronged, I'm on a mission..." The dog official didn't dare to get up, and continued to lie on the ground, kowtowing to Zhou Ming, and said pitifully: "Those gold and silver things, the official didn't get a copper plate, they were all sacrificed to the lake. For the Dragon King, how can there be such a theory of searching for people’s wealth? As for the use of women to sacrifice to the Lake Dragon King, it was all done by Qingsong Daoist Priest who ordered his subordinates to do it. In a catastrophe, the dragon king of the lake will come out to kill people. This kind of thing has happened before. More than ten years ago, there was a severe drought, and the Shenlong Lake shrank by half. There were not many fish in the lake. They did not offer sacrifices to the Dragon King of the Lake, which resulted in a catastrophe. A dragon crawled out of the lake and harmed many people. This matter is absolutely true, and the people in the entire Shenlong County know it."

Zhou Ming and Wu Feng were skeptical about this matter, and turned to look at the old man Zhang as if asking, but the old man nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing. A real dragon crawled out of Shenlong Lake, and the whole body Covered in scales, with a head as big as a bucket, he crawled into the city and swallowed more than a dozen people alive before returning to Shenlong Lake, this old man saw it with his own eyes."

"A real dragon?!" Wu Feng and Zhou Ming looked at each other in shock, could it be that there really is a dragon in Shenlong County?What they said was decent, but what made Wu Feng puzzled was that this old man actually said that the dragon crawled into the county town. Aren't all dragons able to fly?
