<h4>Chapter 41: The Trial (2)</h4>


    As soon as the burly man finished speaking, Lu Sheng saw a red figure sh past.


    Needless to say, it was Deng Rumeng.


    Lu Sheng thanked him and hurried after her.


    “She’s so pretty. She looks like she walked out of a painting. Why is she so energetic?”


    The burly man looked at Lu Sheng’s back and shook his head. Then, he continued to use the megaphone function.


    Lu Sheng arrived early, so there were not many onlookers.


    She immediately saw Deng Rumeng, who was holding a red umbre and looking extremely anxious.


    The culprit had not been brought up yet, but everyone in the hall was already present.


    When Deng Rumeng saw Lu Sheng, she hurried over to her side.


    “Taoist Nun, what should we do now?”


    There was nothing she could do and she was anxious.


    “Don’t worry!” Lu Sheng said softly, “Let’s wait and see first.”


    As more onlookers gathered, the ‘culprit’ was quickly brought up.


    He was skinny and there were numerous whip marks on his back. The blood on his body had yet to dry.


    His bent body was dragged over by the guards. His messy hair covered his face, and his expression was indiscernible.


    However, there was an air of death surrounding him. It was obvious that he no longer had the desire to live.


    Lu Sheng’s first reaction was a frown. Deng Rumeng had already walked over and was ring fiercely at the two guards.


    The blood and tears on his face terrified Lu Sheng.


    At this moment, the packed crowd suddenly moved and made way for them.


    A fat man with big ears and small eyes walked in. He was surrounded by his subordinates.


    After entering, he suddenly knelt on the ground and yelled hypocritically, “Lord, you have to uphold justice for my aunt’s family. This beast not only killed my cousin, but he also poisoned the Deng family’s well. What’s more hateful is that he even colluded with bandits to rob the Deng family. You have to uphold justice for my aunt, uncle, and cousin!”


    Without a pause in his speech, he even sorrowfully kowtowed to the county magistrate, touching the hearts of the onlookers.


    Ah Ming, who was at the side, did not even move. Heid on the ground silently like a puppet.


    Deng Rumeng pounced on the fatty a few times, baring her fangs and brandishing her ws. However, she was bounced back by a ray of golden light each time.


    Seeing her attitude, Lu Sheng knew without guessing that the person in front of her was the real murderer, Zhao Wei.


    “This person is so heartless. He killed hundreds of people just like that. He has no humanity at all.”


    “It’s hard to read a person’s heart. Normally, he looks honest. I didn’t expect a wolf heart to be hidden under his skin.”


    “Isn’t that so? Miss Deng is the famous beauty of Huang Yang Town. How many schrs yearn for her? Is he even worthy of her? The way I see it, the rumors of him secretly sleeping with her are just rumors spread by him.”


    “Zhao Wei looks unreliable normally, but he actually looks like a human now.”


    ...


    Everyone was criticizing Ah Ming but praising Zhao Wei.


    Deng Rumeng was so anxious that she yelled furiously, but no one could see her.


    Lu Sheng took out a yellow talisman and was about to secretly help Deng Rumeng when the crowd surged again. Someone knocked into her and the yellow talisman fell from her hand.


    Momentster, that yellow talisman was destroyed.


    Lu Sheng was speechless.


    Her talisman was very expensive! Did these people know how much silver this yellow talisman could fetch?


    She was so angry!


    Lu Sheng wanted to see who the culprit was, but she did not expect to see a familiar face.
