Everyone Erupted!!!

Wen Jingshan snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you can spread rumors just because you have a mouth? I didn't do any of these things. Were they there at the time?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"You have no room for excuses. These constables killed for you, and they have already confessed."

These are villagers from Broken Kiln Village. As for the witnesses you mentioned, okay, I have some too.

Zhou Wanwan then had three more women brought up. The three women immediately rushed towards Wen Jingshan and said:

"You old beast, you'll die a horrible death! The three of us sisters were hiding in the cellar at the time, and we heard it all clearly!"

First you drowned us in our well, then you ordered the massacre of the village. You deserve a terrible death.

Even Wen Jingshan couldn't handle it. He looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Ha! So what if you found out? You still want to convict me?"

Who do you think you are? Guards, kill everyone here, leave no survivors!

He thought for a moment and said, "Killing them is too boring. It would be more interesting to burn them to death with black oil."

Then they saw that the governor's men had also arrived, surrounding them in layers.

Nie Shi'an was truly anxious. "What exactly do you want? We are all officials appointed by the imperial court, are you trying to rebel?"

Wen Jingshan snorted coldly and said:

"Blame this brat, she insisted on unraveling this whole mess."

Now look what's happened, all I can do is take you with me.

Chen Ankang roared, "Wen Jingshan, what are you doing this for? Have you gone mad?"

Wen Jingshan laughed heartily:

"Are you crazy? I finally managed to become a fourth-rank official, do you think I'd stop now?"

When you get to the Netherworld Underworld, go find Zhou Wanwan. It's her fault for meddling in other people's business.

The governor's office, along with Wen Jingshan's men, numbered several thousand.

Everyone's faces were filled with despair. Nie Shi'an looked at Wen Jingshan and said, "You beast, you'll do anything for a position. Why did you kill so many people? And you still have the nerve to argue?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Chen Ankang and said, "Chen Ankang, I won that bet, right?"

Chen Ankang looked at her and said, "I won, but I may have to break my promise. I'm afraid I'll never be your subordinate in this lifetime."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Winning is enough. As for Wen Jingshan, he will surely get his just desserts."

Wen Jingshan laughed heartily:

"Retribution? What retribution? My career has been smooth sailing in the government my whole life, let me tell you!"

There are coal mines and oil fields in those mountains. Do you know how much money we can earn in a month?

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! And this is just the beginning.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Really?"

As several thousand of Wen Jingshan's men approached them, Shen Congrong looked at him and said, "Wen Jingshan, it's not too late to turn back now."

Wen Jingshan snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I can turn back now?"

His men charged at them, but suddenly everyone in the government office began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Nie Shi'an frowned and said, "I feel dizzy... Am I going to die?"

Shen Congrong looked at Zhou Wanwan and cried:

"I never imagined we'd die here together, sob sob sob..."

You must make lots of delicious food for me in your next life.

"Bang bang bang..."

All of them collapsed to the ground.

Wen Jingshan was dumbfounded. He hadn't even made a move, how come all these people had fallen?

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Now it's your turn, Wen Jingshan."

Wen Jingshan looked at her and said, "A mere young girl. Others may fear you, but I don't. A mere Black Wind Stronghold chieftain? I don't even consider you a threat."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly saw countless vines wrapping around him.

Wen Jingshan was shocked. "What are these things? Why are they so tight? Ah! It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Pain? Doesn't everyone in the village feel pain? People like you deserve to be torn to pieces."

The Old Scholar Tree dragged Wen Jingshan away, grinning, and said, "Alright, I'll have my men cut him into a thousand pieces right now."

Wen Jingshan was tied to a pillar, and he could hear the sound of a blade slowly slicing through his skin.

He tried to shout, but his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't make a sound.

All I could see was chunks of his flesh being cut off and thrown on the ground.

He struggled incessantly, whimpering, his face filled with despair as he looked at Zhou Wanwan.

Tears streamed down Liu Hu's face. "Hundreds of people! All gone because of one person's greed."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the governor's men; those big trees wouldn't show any mercy, these were all their nourishment.

The governor's men weren't even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Soon, all of these people were pulled into the woods by the large trees.

When Nie Shi'an woke up the next day, he touched his head and said, "Have we arrived in the Underworld?"

Shen Congrong looked around and said, "This is what the Underworld is like? Tsk tsk tsk... The Underworld is no different from the mortal world!"

Chen Ankang curled his lip and said, "Is there any possibility that we're not dead?"

Nie Shi'an blinked and said, "Not dead? Yesterday, thousands of people surrounded us, and you're saying we're not dead? Then who saved us?"

Zhou Wanwan waved and said, "Breakfast is ready... Today's breakfast is especially plentiful."

Duck blood and vermicelli soup, scallion and sesame flatbread, pork soup dumplings, osmanthus sugar steamed cake, savory and cilantro pork buns, fried poached eggs, thin noodles in clear broth, spiced braised tofu, yam steamed cake, and brown sugar steamed cake.

While eating her duck blood and vermicelli soup, Zhou Wanwan looked at the dozen or so officials and said, "Gentlemen, breakfast is served! Don't you like any of this?"

Nie Shi'an looked at her, put down his chopsticks, and said, "How can we eat? Wanwan, um, where did Wen Jingshan go?"

Zhou Wanwan ate her duck blood and vermicelli soup and said:

You're asking me? How would I know?

I only woke up a little earlier than you, and he's already gone?"

Everyone exchanged glances, Shen Congrong coughed and said, "Oh! Why are you all so concerned? Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty. He'll go back to where he came from."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I need to eat quickly, I have to go to work after I finish!"

The court officials from Zhou Wanwan's family were very satisfied with her current position in the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner's office.

She went back last night, and the old officials looked at her and kept praising her for being capable, promising, and serving the country and its people, which made her feel quite embarrassed.

Actually, she worked at the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner's office mainly to make money; she really didn't earn as much as she did here.

She's made a fortune in just these few days.

As for serving the country and its people, that's just a side effect.

She looked at Chen Ankang and said, "Ankang, does that mean you'll be my subordinate from now on?"

Chen Ankang immediately kowtowed and said, "Yes, this humble servant Chen Ankang greets my master. I am willing to go through fire and water for my master without hesitation!"

Everyone exploded!!!
