According to him, the village chief found him yesterday and told him to come to the village today, go directly to Tao Lengshuang's house, accuse her of being a demon, and join the villagers to kill her.
The village chief also said that he would give him another tael of silver after the deed was done.
The villagers gasped and looked at the village chief's family with scorn and anger.
"God, it turns out it was the village chief's family all along. How can they be so wicked?"
"I can't even imagine the consequences. If Tao Lengshuang were really accused of being a demon, she would be burned alive. The village chief's family is playing with people's lives."
"It's a shame the village chief was so righteous just now. It turns out he could rush over so quickly because it was all his arrangement."
The village chief really didn't expect his scheme to be exposed so easily by Tao Lengshuang. He still calmly rebuked, "Nonsense!"
"Didn't you see that the Daoist priest was drugged and forced to speak nonsense?"
He pointed at Tao Lengshuang: "This woman has changed so much, and she knows medicine. How can she be the original Tao Lengshuang? It's obvious she's a demon in disguise."
The villagers were suspicious again, and their eyes on Tao Lengshuang were not right: "Yes, the change in Tao Lengshuang is too great. How can anyone suddenly know medicine?"
Tao Lengshuang was very calm.
She suddenly pursed her lips and sighed softly, "You forced me to say it. I didn't want to be disrespectful to heaven."
When heaven was mentioned, many villagers looked up at the sky, and the timid ones shrank their necks.
"Tao Lengshuang, what nonsense are you talking about heaven here? Don't try to frame heaven. Heaven sees everything clearly."
Tao Lengshuang's eyes curved upwards, and she covered her mouth in surprise: "Is the village chief afraid of going to hell after death?"
"As you said, heaven sees everything clearly. Heaven must know your wicked deeds. Where do you think you will go to hell after death?
Is it the oil pot hell on the ninth level, the pounding mortar hell on the twelfth level, or the blood pool hell on the thirteenth level? There are so many, I don't know which level of hell you will go to after death. Perhaps you will visit every level of hell."
Coupled with her sinister voice, it terrified many villagers present, and some timid ones screamed.
The village chief's face turned pale, and his mind was filled with terrifying images of hell. Even the usually bold Tao family members were greatly frightened.
The older people are, the more they fear death and the more they want to ascend to heaven after death. No one wants to go to hell.
"You... Tao Lengshuang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The village chief inexplicably felt a cold wind blowing around him, as if ghost messengers were staring at him: "You demon, don't spread fear here."
"I'm telling you, we won't let you, this demon, go today."
Hearing this, Tao Lengshuang suddenly opened her mouth wide and shouted, "You'll be scared to death!"
"Ah! Demon! Daoist priest, quickly capture this demon!" The village chief retreated in terror, even suspecting that Tao Lengshuang was indeed a demon.
Tao Lengshuang looked at him with a mocking gaze: "Don't you see the Daoist priest is in so much pain that he's about to die?"
"I say, village chief, do you want to end up like the Daoist priest, or do you want me to send you to the county yamen to be beheaded or exiled?"
She weighed the medicine bag in her hand: "For stealing taxes alone, it's enough to have your entire clan executed. Not to mention your other deeds, you'll probably be ground to ashes."
The village chief knew best the severe consequences of his actions and understood that this matter could not be blown up: "You're a demon, and now you're framing me!"
He yelled at the villagers: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and catch this demon. We absolutely cannot let her continue to harm our village."
The villagers retreated backward with fear in their eyes.
However, the Tao family members rushed forward with sticks: "Demon, return Lengshuang's body!"
Seeing the sinister and fierce look of the Tao family, Tao Lengshuang threw a handful of powder: "Specially made laughing powder, guaranteed to make you laugh for three days and three nights."
Before her words even fell, the Tao family members suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~~~ I... hahaha~~ I can't stop, hahaha~~~"
"Hahaha~~ Yes, hahaha~~ Yes, it's Tao Lengshuang, give... hahaha~~ give me the antidote."
The Tao family's painful laughter was deeply etched into the minds of the villagers, and it also made them understand how much Tao Lengshuang could not be provoked.
The village chief swallowed hard, his palms covered in cold sweat. The situation had completely exceeded his plan, but he had to deal with Tao Lengshuang today no matter what.
"Tao Lengshuang, you demon... Ouch!"
Tao Lengshuang kicked him over and threw a packet of powder: "Specially made hallucinogenic powder, which will make you see the most terrifying things."
"Ghost!"
The village chief suddenly let out a scream, which frightened the onlookers and made them hide far away, for fear of being the next victim.
Even Mother Luo and Luo Yang hid far away, looking at Tao Lengshuang with fearful and hateful eyes. They wanted to say something, but they were afraid of ending up like the village chief.
"King Yama, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
The village chief knelt on the ground, his face bloodless, and kowtowed heavily: "I beg King Yama not to send me to hell for punishment. I will never dare again."
Unsure of what he saw, he lost control of himself: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll say it, I'll say it. It was I who bribed this Daoist priest to frame Tao Lengshuang as a demon so that they could set fire and kill her.
And the matter of stealing taxes was also me...呜呜呜!"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Yang covered his mouth: "Father, what are you talking nonsense about?"
She looked at Tao Lengshuang with tears streaming down her face: "You demon, what sorcery did you use on my father to make him talk nonsense?"
*Slap, slap, slap.*
Tao Lengshuang grabbed Luo Yang's hair with one hand and slapped her several times, making her face red and swollen: "Try saying another word."
Meeting her cold eyes, Luo Yang's legs went weak, and she shook her head. How could she dare to say another word? Tao Lengshuang was so terrifying at this moment.
Tao Lengshuang pulled her hair with a little force and said fiercely: "Tell me, whose idea was it to find a Daoist priest to frame me as a demon?"
She deliberately played with several packets of powder.
These packets of powder were like poisonous water and fierce beasts, scaring Luo Yang out of her wits. She repeatedly shrieked, "It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me. It was all my father's idea. He wanted to use this method to kill you!"
At this, the villagers looked at the village chief's family as if they were evil spirits and cursed them: "Too wicked, truly too wicked. This is playing with people's lives, it's simply defying the law."
"I spit on your shameless family."
Shen Ershen, who was almost fainted from anger, rushed over and kicked Luo Yang heavily: "The Mo family didn't provoke you, but you are so wicked that you want to use this method to kill her. You are worse than beasts."
