Translator: 549690339
Despite Feng Qing’an’s remarkable demeanor, in their impression, the government usually did not interfere with matters related to demons. Therefore, one person stepped forward, bowed his hand, and made a request.
“Yes, yes, whether it’s the master or the government, we just want to live our lives peacefully and we don’t want any involvement with the monsters!”
The residents living here were of the same mind. Their appeals were uniform, which made the man holding his two children’s faces turn even more ferocious and his eyes bulge in anger.
“You all…”
He never thought that these neighbors, who were usually kind to his family, would reveal such detestable faces at this moment. There was no place for his family here, even though they had often helped others around them in the past.
“There’s no point in wasting words, bring your two children with you and follow me!”
Feng Qing’an interrupted the man’s emotional outburst. The ups and downs of life had broken the man’s spirit. How could an ordinary person, who lives a simple and honest life daily, bear such a roller coaster of emotions? In a blink of an eye, his wife was scattered and he became a public enemy.
His outward madness and rage were merely to cover the panic and fear in his heart. Lost or uneasy, he was at a loss as to what to do.
“What are you trying to do?”
“Relax, you didn’t break any laws, I’m just moving you to a new place to live!”
Feng Qing’an sighed. He disliked meddling in other people’s business, but he hated watching the heartbreaking scenes before his eyes even more.
“Do you really plan to keep living here with your two children? These people can no longer tolerate your presence. Can you sleep with your eyes closed?”
At Feng Qing’an’s words, the man was silent, having a shiver run down his spine as he looked at the once familiar but now extremely unfamiliar faces.
“Little lord, they are harboring demons, even mating with them and gave birth to monstrous offspring, can’t they all be thrown into prison?”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an was merely moving them to another place to live, some people became dissatisfied. When dealing with those who are different from themselves, even if there is no conflict of interest, some people still harbor hostility and even murderous intent.
“Which law in Da Jin states that a man cannot mate with a demon? I know that the law says ‘kill and you will be killed’, ‘owe money, pay money back’, they have lived here for years, have they ever harmed any lives? If anyone died because of them, then they can be sentenced according to the law!”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but sigh. However, reasoning with a frenzied crowd was utterly useless.
“My child got a severe cold three years ago, it must have been caused by their demon!”
“Yes, my grandfather broke his leg while walking in front of their house recently…”
“My Osmanthus Tree suddenly withered…”
For a moment, the cacophony nearly drowned out Feng Qing’an. Hearing these nonsensical accusations, a prominent vein bulged on Feng Qing’an’s forehead.
“Enough, do you know what false accusation is? If there’s no evidence, the punishment for the crime you want to accuse others of will fall upon yourselves!”
At these words, the crowd fell silent, no longer daring to grumble. Even though they wanted to blame all their recent misfortunes on the demons.
“Heavenly Dragon Zen Temple, Yinghai, wishes to discuss law with the City God, please open the gate to the Underworld!”
At this moment, a clear voice echoed in the sky above Fengtian City.
