Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 266 It’s not hot at all!

The Taoist priest closed his eyes and said nothing, but kept counting on his fingers.

Seeing this, the man kneeling in front of the Taoist immediately said devoutly: "Master, don't worry. I know it's hard for you to invite people up here. I will give you one thousand taels of silver and one thousand kilograms of grain immediately."

[Wuhu! The reason why this county government is so poor has been found. ]

Ren Changfeng couldn't help but clench his fists. One thousand taels of silver and one thousand kilograms of grain might not seem like much, but this man had to see his wife once a month, so the accumulated amount was not a small sum.

No wonder the county government of Gaoyuan County is in such a horrible state. With such a county magistrate, it is impossible for Gaoyuan County to become prosperous.

After getting the things, the Taoist opened his eyes: "In this way, you can meet your wife tonight, but remember that there can only be you at the scene, and you can only meet through the screen. After all, your wife is no longer a human being."

This man agreed repeatedly to the Taoist priest's orders without any hesitation.

The people kneeling below looked at the Taoist priest with admiration.

"The Taoist priest is really amazing. He can even invite dead people up here."

"It's just a little too expensive. It costs so much money and food. Otherwise, I would like to ask my mother to come up and see me. I miss her a lot."

"If it's not amazing, how can the county magistrate trust it so much?"

·······

"Bastard!"

Ren Changfeng finally couldn't help but yelled.

Because the man kneeling in front of the Taoist priest was wearing an official uniform and was the county magistrate of Gaoyuan County. As a county magistrate trusted a Taoist priest so much, it was no wonder that the common people below also believed in Taoist priests.

"As an official appointed by the imperial court, you actually believe in ghosts and gods so much. How can you be an official?"

The magistrate of Gaoyuan County was not angry at all when Ren Changfeng scolded him. Instead, he walked up to Ren Changfeng anxiously and said, "I think this is the inspector. Taoist Changyun is very effective. Don't offend him."

"I didn't believe it at first, but Taoist Changyun can attract lightning. I saw with my own eyes that Taoist Changyun attracted lightning to kill a rebellious evildoer."

Ren Changfeng's back stiffened. Is it possible to attract lightning with science? And what kind of monster is this?

How could there be monsters in this world!

As if to give himself courage, Ren Changfeng continued to shout in a cold voice: "Where did this evil creature come from in broad daylight?"

[Of course, he would find someone to pretend to be a yellow-skinned man and do evil things, and then find another yellow-skinned man from the mountain to kill him with lightning, thus establishing his own reputation.]

[As for attracting lightning, it is even simpler. Find a high place, tie a few copper pillars to the yellow fox's body, and then find a rainy day, and the lightning will be attracted. It's a very simple principle.]

A very simple truth?

Sir Xu, what truth are you talking about!

Ren Changfeng almost couldn't help but turn around. If the late emperor was still alive, he would have appointed a national teacher based on this skill.

The county magistrate was anxious: "Really! It's true! The yellow-skinned creature, as big as a calf, not only ate people but also raped women. The yamen runners couldn't catch it no matter what. It was only the Taoist priest who caught it."

[The yellow-skinned man was really unlucky. He just ate better since he was young, grew taller, and ate a little chicken at most, but he was accused of raping women. This Taoist priest actually killed people, set fires, and raped women in order to make himself famous.]

Well, the case was solved. It was all done by a human, and then the blame was put on the yellow-skinned man. Knowing that this Taoist priest didn't really know magic, Ren Changfeng straightened his back and directly ordered: "Catch this Taoist priest, seal the Taoist temple, and take off the official hat of this county magistrate.

Following Ren Changfeng's order, the guards outside have already started moving.

Seeing that something was not right, the Taoist stopped pretending to be a great Taoist and shouted, "My fellow believers, it seems that my calamity is about to come. I have to go and take care of it!"

He didn't plan to run away. He just flicked his whisk and sat down in front of the hall.

Ren Changfeng sneered. Why are you pretending to be an enlightened master? Do you think he will be fooled?

[Not good! This Taoist priest is inciting the people! ]

Following Xu Jinyu's panicked voice, the people who had just been kneeling on the ground stared at Ren Changfeng with wide eyes.

"Sir! Don't touch Taoist Changyun!"

"Master Changyun is truly a deity, and you, a high-ranking official..."

······

Seeing these angry people surrounding him, Ren Changfeng's sneer got stuck in his throat.

Inciting the people could lead to a civil uprising. What's more, Lord Xu is still here. If anything happens to him, Your Majesty will skin him alive.

He brought a lot of guards with him, but they might not be able to protect Lord Xu when facing angry civilians.

Ren Changfeng's face turned pale, especially when he saw the smug smile on the Taoist's lips.

At this time, Wei An stood up and said, "What real immortal? You can also become such an immortal."

After saying this, he grabbed a civilian's hand and pressed it into the boiling oil pan.

"Ah~~~"

Seeing his hand about to fall into the frying pan, the man was unable to struggle free and could only scream, waiting for his hand to be burned by the frying pan.

"What are you doing, you outsider?"

The angry people surrounded Wei An and raised their fists.

The next moment, the man whose hand was stuffed into the frying pan raised a puzzled voice: "Eh~~ Why doesn't it hurt?"

Wei An sneered: "I said you can do this kind of immortal, if you don't believe me, come and try it."

Hearing Wei An's words, a man with his fist raised put his fingers into the pot doubtfully, then opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"It's really not hot!"

Then, a group of people gathered around the oil pan and put their hands into the pan to play.

A riot was averted without a trace.

The Taoist saw that the situation was not good, so he got up and wanted to run away. Unfortunately, it was too late. He was held down by the guards and knelt on the ground, unable to move.

When the magistrate of Gaoyuan County saw this scene, he had nothing to understand. If he was really a master, how could he be held down by the imperial guards?

The county magistrate still had some hope and asked: "Then who is my wife..."

The Taoist knew that he was doomed to die, so he turned his head and said nothing.

[What wife? She was a person who looked like the county magistrate's wife, and she imitated her voice. She fooled the county magistrate through a screen.]

Okay, got it.

Ren Changfeng put his hands behind his back and said, "Have you ever seen your dead wife?"

County Magistrate: “Of course I have!”

Ren Changfeng: "Are you sure that the person behind the screen is your wife?"

County Magistrate: “Isn’t it?”

"Of course not. Just find someone with a similar build and voice."

"What about the monster?"

Looking at the county magistrate who was still persistent, Xu Jinyu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

[There is no way around this yellow-skinned demon! Even yellow-skinned demons have their own aesthetics. To us humans, a beauty may be just a hairless monster to a yellow-skinned demon. ]
