One pound of meat equals one attribute point

"Crash!"

Noisy footsteps sounded, and a large number of people holding torches came from a distance and surrounded the Xu family's mansion.

The leader was seven feet tall, with a sinister face and a beard at the corner of his mouth, giving people a very unpleasant feeling.

He couldn't help but twitch his brows as he looked at the bloody scene in front of him, which was like hell. Looking around, he first paused for a moment on Su Henggao's tall and burly back, and then landed on Song Baoyi, the chatou on the side. "Song Chatou, tell this county captain what exactly happened here?"

County lieutenants are officials responsible for judicial arrests of thieves and hearing cases. In grassroots units such as Changqing County, the power of county lieutenants is second only to the county magistrate.

The county captain of Changqing County is named Qiu Cai. As his name suggests, he is an official just to make a fortune.

When hearing a case, regardless of the reason, the reporter and the defendant will be arrested first, and each will be beaten fifty times indiscriminately.

Then it depends on the amount of atonement paid for further processing.

Naturally, this resulted in many unjust and wrongful convictions, but because Qiu Cai was so greedy, even a child from a wealthy family would inevitably feel pain if he was blackmailed. Over time, the public security in Changqing County has been maintained fairly well, and there are not many incidents of bullying others.

Song Baoyi came to Qiu Cai's side. Although he didn't like this person, he still bowed and saluted because of his superiority and told him exactly what happened.

"The dead and rotting corpses stood up and attacked you?" After hearing these words, Qiu Cai was so angry that he laughed out loud. He sneered and said, "Do you think this county captain is stupid? You will listen. You are talking nonsense. It seems to me that someone had a conflict with the Xu family, coveted the Xu family's property, and killed people in the street. That's why the scene happened now!"

"Master Qiu, it is really what Song Chatou said."

Su Gui finally stood up with the help of two nurses. When he heard these words, his eyes went dark again. He hurriedly came to Qiu Cai's side, held his arm, and a valuable jade pendant was slipped into Qiu Cai's hand.

Qiu Cai stretched out his hand and touched it.

It feels warm to the touch and has exquisite carvings, so I know it is of the highest quality.

But just a valuable jade pendant is not enough to solve this incident. He guessed that this matter had little to do with the Su family, but it didn't matter. Since people from the Su family appeared at the scene of the crime, it was natural for them to pay a sum of money.

"This county captain also enforces the law impartially. Naturally, I can't believe what you say." Qiu Cai coughed twice and said coldly, "Whether it is yes or no, let's take the person back to the Yamen first."

Su Gui's expression changed drastically.

What kind of place is the Yamen? It's easy to get in but hard to get out.

He was not worried about money but worried about his son, and Su Heng's temper had always exploded. If there was any conflict inside, the matter would become even more troublesome and he would not be able to get off the stage.

Qiu Cai didn't care. With a wave of his hand, he asked the police officer next to him to come forward and arrest him.

Stab!

Su Heng tore off a rag from the corpse and slowly wiped the blood off his body and arms. Hearing the movement, he turned around and glanced coldly. Those officers who obeyed the order were immediately pinned to the ground, and no one felt like they could act rashly.

Qiu Cai frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

He raised his head and met Su Heng's eyes.

The evil spirit that had not dissipated in his eyes rushed towards his face, like a scarlet lightning, falling on him. Qiu Cai's breath suddenly suffocated, and his two legs were fighting.

When he was young, he went out to study and traveled over the mountains. He encountered a fierce tiger that was over ten feet long. Even though he was a hundred meters away and there were several strong men guarding him, Qiu Cai was still frightened when he looked at each other from a distance. It was so bad that I couldn't sleep peacefully for several days, and I looked obviously haggard.

And the Su Heng in front of him had that evil aura about him.

It was a hundred or a thousand times more ferocious than the tiger we encountered more than twenty years ago.

——He will die!

A strong premonition arose in Qiu Cai's heart.

Maybe in the next few minutes, maybe in the next breath, the next blink. Rules can be used to restrain people, but they cannot be used to restrain monsters, let alone monsters that are more fierce and terrifying than monsters.

"Master Qiu, Master Qiu, please think twice." Su Gui cried sadly and stuffed several heavy gold ingots into Qiu Cai's hand.

There is great terror between life and death!

Qiu Cai was so excited that he broke free from the terrifying evil aura.

He grabbed Su Gui's hand and stuffed all the gold ingots and the jade pendant back. Su Gui thought that the price he paid was not enough, but in the red light of the torch, Qiu Cai's usually sinister face was actually filled with a smile. Then he opened his arms and gave Su Gui a firm hug.

"Hahaha, Brother Su, what are you doing?" Qiu Cai laughed and held Su Gui's hand, "I was confused just now. It is obvious that your young master has extraordinary martial arts and helps the government to eliminate demons and quell troubles. , You should be rewarded. It’s just that it’s getting late today and it’s not early, so I will visit you another day.”

Qiu Cai handed over to Su Guigong. Under the latter's puzzled gaze, he asked a group of people to stay and clean up the blood stains at the scene, and then hurriedly left with another group of people holding torches.

Su Gui stood there blankly, while Su Hengze appeared quietly behind him.

"Let's go home too." Su Heng looked at Qiu Cai's leaving figure, his voice unusually calm.

"Oh." Su Gui nodded subconsciously.

Then he saw Su Heng walking alone in front of him.

He waved his sleeves to wipe off the dust that had just stained his body, and then trotted all the way, hurriedly following Su Heng and rushing towards the Su family's mansion.

...

Back home.

Su Heng asked the servants at home to boil water, take a bath, and then change into new clothes.

He looked at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, the swaying willows, and the slender willow branches outlined the amplitude of the evening breeze, and his whole body was cool.

Recalling what happened in the evening.

If Qiu Cai insisted on his own way and continued to choose to arrest, what would he do.

There is no doubt that Qiu Cai will die.

Then what?

Those officials he brought will also die.

If the conflict continues to expand, many people in Changqing County will die.

Many people, everyone... will die. He knew it was wrong, but the feeling of killing was really fascinating.

"When joy, anger, sorrow, or pleasure are not expressed, it is called Zhong. When they are expressed in moderation, it is called He. ... When Zhonghe is achieved, heaven and earth are in their proper places, and all things are nurtured..."

Outside the window, under the bright moonlight, Su Shang's clear and clear reading voice can be heard.

Su Heng was in a trance.

Returning to reality from the dark desire.

He tightened his clothes, then pushed open the wooden door and walked towards the frosty courtyard outside.
