C230 He Was Framed by His Own People
After Zou Qi heard the dark, thin man finish his words, he suddenly became furious!
With both hands on his hips, he flung his saliva: "How dare you kill my citizens! How dare you slaughter my citizens? Quickly dismount and die!"
Lee Shi slightly frowned. Zou Qi actually thought that he had killed a commoner of Yanhe Village. It looked like there was some kind of misunderstanding.
He did not want to suffer such injustice, so he said indifferently: "The people of Yanhe Village were not killed by me, they were harmed by a Devil Snake, we are only passing by to bury the local citizens."
"Bullshit!" The lean man jumped up in excitement, "I saw you burning the village to ashes in the forest. If you didn't have a guilty conscience, would you have done this?"
Lee Shi was stunned. He just casually burnt the corpse to avoid the plague, but he forgot that people in this world don't have the habit of cremation.
Although after he became the city lord, he promoted cremation in place of burial, this custom was not accepted in remote villages.
"You said that you saw me burn down the village, but did you see me kill someone?"
Lee Shi's dignified gaze swept over the dark, skinny man's heart skipped a beat.
He was from the Yanhe Village, and had something to do for a few days, so he managed to escape this calamity.
When he returned, he saw the scene of Lee Shi setting the fire, but he didn't know what happened.
But now that his hometown had been destroyed, he had lost all sense of reason, and he was determined to not let Lee Shi go!
Lee Shi shook his head, "Stupid people, it doesn't matter what grudges you have. Take a look at what this is."
He took out the Phantom Snake Emperor's charred corpse from his luggage and threw it out, shocking everyone present.
Fortunately, he had put the corpse away at that time, and it was now of use.
"But that doesn't mean it was done by this snake demon. Maybe you just took it out to bluff us?"
A light flashed across Zou Qi's eyes. He believed that he had guessed correctly.
Then he saw Zhou Zhiruo hiding her face. He thought to himself, "Only those who hide their heads and show their tails will hide their faces. How could a normal person do such a thing?"
In his heart, however, he was more and more sure that Lee Shi and his companion were the true culprits of the massacre!
"Men, take these two down!"
Dozens of Dan Li town's soldiers immediately surrounded him with their long-hilted sabers, their faces filled with a murderous look!
Zhou Zhiruo rode out from behind and stood in front of Lee Shi.
At the critical moment, she had decisively abandoned all small emotions and put Lee Shi's safety first.
He swung the white whip in his hand heavily, creating a tornado on the ground.
In front of the Earth Origin Stage warrior Zhou Zhiruo, the soldiers could not control their bodies at all. One by one, they were blown into the air, screaming in panic.
A hideous face was born in the wind.
Next, Zhou Zhiruo only needed to gently pinch and she could use her Nine Yin Divine Claw to pinch these soldiers into pieces!
And to think that Zhou Zhiruo, who had used such a terrifying supernatural power, was actually a little girl who was afraid of snakes, which was something that many people found hard to believe.
Lee Shi saw the killing intent in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes and quickly stopped her, "Don't kill them!"
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, but she still let go.
The wind dispersed and the soldiers dropped to the ground, screaming as they held onto their aching bodies.1
Lee Shi was not a bloodthirsty person. The soldiers in front of him had only listened to the orders of the mayor, so they didn't deserve to die.
"Crap, these two are too fierce. Go get Master Waller!"
Zou Qi said with a panicked expression.
"No need, I'm already here."
A voice that seemed to leak out of the wind suddenly sounded out, causing one to feel annoyed upon hearing it.
