Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 71: I will judge you right here

There is such a scene:

On a summer morning, a weak maid walked towards the well, expressionless, and jumped in.

There were no emotions, let alone hesitation.

Even hatred and fear were frozen by pain.

She just wanted to be free.

...

Xiao Cui's body was pulled out and lay coldly in the courtyard.

Hu Shaomeng glanced at her and asked, "Is this Xiao Cui from our Qingniu Town?"

Hu Guanshi hesitated and said, "No, she is from..."

Hu Shaomeng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Quickly bury her and don't cause trouble for me."

Ge Heng's face relaxed.

"But..." Jiang Wang spoke up, "The cause of death has not been determined yet. Can she rest in peace if she is buried like this? Won't the government investigate?"

"I can represent the government. And it's obvious that it's just suicide," Hu Shaomeng said patiently, then shouted at Hu Guanshi, "What are you waiting for? Get a few people to bury her."

Hu Guanshi had to reluctantly shout, "Get a few people to help!"

The miners around did not move or speak.

Although they dared not argue.

But silence was their silent attitude.

"But why did she commit suicide when everything was fine?" Jiang Wang did not hide his attitude, "You should know that forcing someone to commit suicide is also murder!"

Hu Shaomeng turned his head and stared at Jiang Wang, "I find that you have a lot of problems. As a newcomer, do you not consider yourself an outsider?"

Very impolite.

"That's right," Ge Lao said in a sinister voice, "Just a mortal committing suicide, why are you making such a fuss?"

That's how the world is.

No matter how hard people try, they cannot bridge the gap between transcendent cultivators and mortals. Even the most basic right of life and death is not necessarily guaranteed.

Just like Song Yiniang back then, she also jumped into a well. Jiang Wang borrowed a gun from Zhu Weiwo and went to confront her. Even if he killed Lin Zhenglun, it would only force him to pay with his life.

That was already the limit of the social rules that people accepted. As for Lin Zhengli, who indirectly caused Song Yiniang's death, and even the entire Lin family, they didn't need to pay anything anymore.

Not to mention that Lin Zhengli only forced Lin Zhenglun and could only be considered indirectly responsible for Song Yiniang's death. Even if he really killed Song Yiniang, the Lin family had ten thousand ways to clear him of any charges. And at that time, Jiang Wang could not possibly obtain any so-called justice.

That's how the world is.

Hu Shaomeng, Ge Heng, and everyone else were used to it.

Zhang Hai and Xiang Qian also remained silent.

"Xiao Cui didn't commit suicide, she was forced to death by you!" a voice full of resentment and hatred shouted.

Following the sound, Xiao Xiao, who was as thin as a blade of grass, stood outside the courtyard, tightly gripping the door frame. Because of the force, her fingertips were turning white.

She gritted her teeth, but her voice trembled.

Obviously, she was filled with fear, but at the same time, she was also filled with hatred.

She didn't know what consequences speaking out at this moment would bring.

But she really wanted to say something, do something. Not only for the lifeless Xiao Cui, but also for herself, who had been tortured.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ge Heng stepped forward, about to explode.

Jiang Wang stepped in front of him, blocking his way.

He turned around and said to Xiao Xiao, "Say whatever you want, don't be afraid."

"Dugu An! What do you want to do? Do you really want to be enemies with me?" Ge Heng was furious. He glanced at Hu Shaomeng, but Hu Shaomeng remained silent.

As long as he didn't make a move, Jiang Wang couldn't be bothered with his threats.

He gave Xiao Xiao an encouraging look, "As long as it's the truth, speak freely. In this world, there is no reason to silence someone. There is no reason to prevent someone from speaking the truth!"

"Xiao Cui told me a long time ago that she couldn't go on living. Ge Heng is a pervert who tortures her and beats her every day..." Xiao Xiao trembled and gritted her teeth, "If it weren't for meeting Lord Dugu, I might have jumped down today."

Shuanzi's eyes turned red, bloodshot. "Xiao Xiao!"

He knelt down in front of Hu Shaomeng with a thud, knocking his head on the ground, "Young Master Hu! I beg you to make a decision, I beg you to make a decision!"

Ge Heng could feel the anger in the eyes of the miners around him. It was impossible to hide. They seemed to want to tear him apart.

He was not afraid of these untrained ordinary people, but he was worried about influencing the other transcendent cultivators present, especially Hu Shaomeng's decision.

"Nonsense! How dare you slander me! Slander a transcendent cultivator!" He stared at Xiao Xiao, forcing her with his eyes, "Do you know what crime this is? You will bring disaster upon your whole family!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the whole scene fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Because Xiao Xiao, in front of everyone, took off her clothes.

She was only wearing a revealing garment, and her thin and fragile young body was exposed in front of everyone.This included the bruises on her arms, thighs, and body, which were a mix of blue and purple.

Her small face was expressionless, but tears streamed down her cheeks, "These were all caused by you, do you remember? Can these prove that I'm not lying? If it's not enough, I can take off more."

As she spoke, she began to undress.

But Jiang Wang had already grabbed her hand.

"That's enough," Jiang Wang said.

He took off his coat and wrapped it around her small body, which was covered in numerous small wounds.

He turned to look at Hu Shaomeng, "What does Young Master Hu have to say?"

For a woman to strip naked in public, how much humiliation must she endure?

The deeper the humiliation, the greater the courage required.

No one could doubt her words anymore.

Hu Shaomeng's brows were furrowed tightly, "Hand him over to the Jia City officials. Who will take him there?"

Ge Heng's grim expression relaxed slightly. As long as Hu Shaomeng didn't plan to take action himself, there was still room for negotiation.

"I remember Young Master Hu just said that you could represent the officials?" Jiang Wang could barely suppress his anger, and said coldly, "Why are you handing him over now?"

"Dugu!" Hu Shaomeng glared at Jiang Wang, "I'll tolerate you this one last time, but my patience has its limits. I don't care what grudges you have with Ge Heng, you guys should leave my mine and settle it outside. If you want to use me to kill, you should weigh your own abilities. Can you handle my blade?"

He, Hu Shaomeng, absolutely didn't believe that this naive-looking cultivator was acting out of any sense of justice. In his view, Dugu An's targeting of Ge Heng was nothing more than a long-standing grudge and an opportunity for revenge.

He didn't want to get involved in these matters. After all, Ge Heng was indeed not a good person. He just wanted to calm the mine down as soon as possible and close it smoothly.

It was fine for these two to fight to the death, but they had to do it outside, after leaving the mine. They shouldn't make too much noise and attract the attention of Jia City, which would affect his plans.

Ge Heng also suppressed his anger and said, "Dugu An, if you have a problem with me, why don't you escort me to Jia City? We can settle our grudges ourselves. Be sensible and don't disturb Young Master Hu."

He had made up his mind that once he left the mine, he would spare no cost, exert all his strength, and kill this naive young man.

Too naive!

He had only targeted him once, and he was so straightforward in wanting to kill him!

Jiang Wang shook his head. He had completely understood these people's attitudes.

"There's no need for that."

He sighed lightly for the girl who had died on a summer morning.

He took a step forward and was already standing in front of Ge Heng, "I've decided to judge you right here."
