Criminals Paraded Through the Streets, the Whole City Cheered!

"These damn bastards have finally been caught today!"

"I heard it was an order from His Holiness the Pope, but I don't know if it's true."

"It's true. I was at the scene of the arrest. I personally heard the guard say that these orders were given by His Holiness the Pope."

"Everyone, stop talking! Does anyone have any rotten eggs? I'll buy two!"

9:00 AM (巳时).

The sun was shining brightly.

The gate of the City Guard Office.

Three prison vans were lined up in the street.

Several silver-armored guards were escorting the prison cart.

The streets were lined with ordinary people, among whom were also many Soul Masters from various places.

The noise, the commotion, the insults...

The commotion rose and fell, the noise never ceasing.

Standing at the main gate, Director Li felt a sense of unease upon seeing such a grand scene.

Fortunately, the Pope's personal maid did not find any concrete evidence during the search of his home.

Otherwise.

He himself is now imprisoned in those prison vans, like a dead dog.

"This new elder is truly favored by His Holiness the Pope."

"In just a few words, His Holiness the Pope made such a momentous decision."

"An investigation into corruption is a decision that has far-reaching consequences. It will inevitably implicate high-ranking figures in the Spirit Hall."

"However, His Holiness the Pope probably won't actually investigate those important figures."

"Otherwise, these Xiao Li wouldn't have been paraded through the streets, and ultimately executed at the gates of the Spirit Hall. This action was merely a warning, meant to instruct those people to behave themselves."

"What a stroke of luck! If my wife had really been keeping Xiao Bai and squandering all our money, I would be thanking her properly."

"This is truly a lifesaver!"

Director Li was deeply moved.

Just then, the line of prison wagons began to move slowly.

The public parade was ordered by Pope Bibi Dong himself.

Seeing this.

Director Li quickly followed.

He needed to follow the prison cart to the entrance of the Spirit Hall to hand over what he had compiled overnight to Pope Bibi Dong.

This was Bibi Dong's order last night.

Although Bibi Dong seemed to be trying to vent her anger on him, he still dared not disobey.

Does he know?

Pope Bibi Dong did not have a good impression of him.

As the prison van started moving...

The wide streets were now lined with people.

In.

Many people were carrying things like rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and rotten fruit.

"Don't pity them, everyone! Smash these bastards to death! These people have ruined so many good people!"

"The Old Uncle Wang family was driven to their deaths by these people! These heartless bastards are simply animals!"

Smash them! Smash them hard! Even if you can't kill them, make sure they stink to high heaven. Don't let them die so cleanly!

In an instant.

Rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, fruit, and even freshly baked Oli Gei (a type of fried dough).

They all traced a graceful arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the three prisoners trapped in the prison van.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Moreover, these three Xiao Li had a history of oppressing ordinary people.

A mixture of indescribable stench began to drift and spread through the streets.

The guards at the front of the procession did not speak up to stop the people from doing what they were doing.

All they had to do was parade these prisoners through the streets and then escort them to the gates of the Spirit Hall.

On the three prison vans.

Two of the Xiao Li looked apprehensive and uneasy.

Only one person burst into laughter at that moment.

This person was the one who had imprisoned Li Mubai in the City Guard Office's dungeon.

His face was now contorted in a ferocious grin.

He was also shouting:

"Hahaha... You people deserve to be trampled underfoot!"

"I only regret that I didn't..."

Xiao Li's arrogant words were not finished.

A brownish-red object flew straight and accurately into Xiao Li's open mouth.

Because Xiao Li's mouth is too big.

This foul-smelling mosaic slid straight down Xiao Li's throat and into his esophagus.

Ugh~~~

Xiao Li felt her stomach churning and gagged.

However, since the substance had already entered the esophagus and the limbs and body were restrained by chains and shackles, it was impossible to spit it out.

"Hahaha... Does this pile of poop I made taste good?"

"That's hilarious, this guy certainly died well-fed."

"That man's mouth is truly foul. Even on his deathbed, he still dares to mock us. Now that his mouth is shut with shit, how satisfying!"

"This is exactly what I wanted; it's truly gratifying!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

However, some voices have objected, saying that this is too cruel.

However, these dissenting voices were quickly drowned out by the cheers of the masses.

At the front of the line.

Director Li, who was following behind the guards, was already sweating profusely.

It wasn't because of the heat, but because I was scared.

At that moment, he was extremely relieved that he had not been arrested.

Otherwise.

Their fate might be even more tragic than those in the prison van.

This incident terrified him, and he couldn't help but remind himself that he must always uphold his principles and never embezzle or accept bribes.

On the other side.

Li Mubai's home.

Knock knock knock...

There was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Qian, open the door."

Li Mubai's voice came from the kitchen.

Interspersed among the sounds were the swishing of spatulas, making it easy to tell that food was being cooked.

I sat alone on the sofa.

Xiao Qian, who was cutting fabric, got up and walked towards the door upon hearing this.

Squeak...

The door opened.

A beautiful woman in a brown coarse cloth dress was standing in the doorway.

Despite the clothes not being particularly elegant, their captivating aura was undeniable.

The thin rope tied around her waist perfectly showcased her slender waist.

Among the most majestic of all are the two towering Mount Everest.

Even Xiao Qian pales in comparison.

"Xiao Qian, these are the leftover bean curd sheets from making tofu these past few days."

"I mentioned before that you like these things, so I specially saved them for you."

"This is not much, I hope you won't find it too much."

The beautiful woman, with a faint smile on her face, spoke first.

She was also carrying a bulging cloth bag in her hand.

As he spoke.

She then handed the cloth bag to Xiao Qian.

"How could I possibly mind? You're so thoughtful, sister!"

Xiao Qian looked pleasantly surprised and took the cloth bag.

"Sister Xiao Qian."

After the two had finished speaking, Xiao Yu'er emerged from behind the beautiful woman and sweetly called out to Xiao Qian.

"Oh, Yu'er."

With a joyful reply, Xiao Qian looked at the beautiful woman again and extended an invitation to her:

"Sister Zhao, please come in and sit down."

The beautiful woman shook her head. "Xiao Qian, we won't trouble ourselves. We still need to make tofu later."

She could already hear the sound of spatulas coming from the kitchen, and knew that they were about to start eating.

She is not a shameless person.

So he made up an excuse to refuse.

And just then...

A sudden commotion arose on the street, growing louder as it approached.
