Everyone except me stared at the old man in surprise as he walked in.

  "Surround them, don't let any of them escape." The old man shouted loudly, and the dozens of soldiers he brought with him rushed up and surrounded us.

  I looked at the blackened gun barrels in the hands of these soldiers, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this is real guns and live ammunition, I knew that the old man must have come to help me, my heart also felt more at ease.

  "General Donglao, how did you come?" Secretary Li hurriedly ran up and wanted to talk to the old man.

  The result was stopped by two soldiers beside Lao Ye Zi.

  "I heard that one of my juniors was brought in for trial by Secretary Li, so I came to listen. The old man smiled at me and then walked over to the trial seat, closed his eyes and began to rest. Several soldiers also ran over to surround the old man and protect him."

  "Cough, cough." The judge coughed and said: "Now the trial continues. Defendant Zhang Lingfeng's case of injuring someone, first instance, sentenced to three years' imprisonment, any objections?"

  "What nonsense!" Secretary Li bellowed: "How could General Dong's junior possibly intentionally harm someone? Retry the verdict!"

  Secretary Li was still making eyes at the judge on the platform while speaking.

  Alas, this is just how China is.

  "How to judge, don't bring in personal emotions, as a junior I should be sentenced to three years, right? Then sentence me to three years, I'll accept the verdict, don't make a mess because of my factors." The old man said with a smile.

  The old man's words sounded like he was letting the judge decide whatever he wanted, but the underlying meaning was already quite clear. If this judge still didn't understand, then his brain had truly been kicked by a donkey.

  "General Donglao, this is natural." The judge also coughed and said: "The fairness of the law cannot be violated by anyone!"

  "What I just said was only the material collected earlier. Zhang Lingfeng, no matter how you put it, is still a student in school. In the past, he excelled in both character and learning, respected his parents at home, and respected his teachers outside. How could he do something that would cause someone to become disabled? I feel that there must be a great injustice in this case." The judge spoke with righteous indignation, with an air of being a modern-day Bao Qingtian.

  Then he respectfully asked General Dong: "General, is this all right?"

  At this time, Wang Jinlong didn't dare to fart either, and his face was even more flattering towards Dong Lao.

  "I said the law is fair, I believe in the law." Old Dong smiled with his eyes narrowed.

  Bang!

  The judge slammed his hand on the table, stood up and pointed at Wang Jinlong's follower, scolding loudly: "This Ye Naibo, self-mutilated a finger, attempted to frame this excellent comrade Zhang Lingfeng, is simply heinous. I hereby declare, for the crime of false accusation, sentence Ye Naibo to one year imprisonment, hope you reform."

  It turned out that this guy was called Ye Nai Bo, I gave him a glance, and Ye Nai Bo's face turned white, shouting: "I am innocent, I am..."

  Suddenly Wang Jinlong coughed violently.

  Ye Bo originally wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again and looked back at Wang Jinlong with a gloomy expression, nodding slightly: "Alright, I admit my guilt."

  "Well, since Ye Nai Bo has confessed, it's settled then. General Dong Lao, what do you think?" the judge asked, turning to Old Master Dong.

  The old man nodded and walked over to me: "Come on, let's go out and have a chat."

  As soon as the old man finished speaking, the judge surprisingly ran down himself and took the key from a policeman's hand to unlock my handcuffs.

  "Sorry, sorry, you've had a tough couple of days." The judge said to me in an unusually polite tone.

  Alas, I shook my head and looked at the national emblem on this court, the law of the country is to let such guys wreak havoc.

  I saw the old man walking out, and I also hurried to follow him. As I walked out, a ray of sunlight pierced my eyes, and I squinted for a while before getting used to it. I didn't even know how many days I had been locked up.

  A policeman also ran out from behind me and handed me a mobile phone. I took it and looked at it, only to find that it was already September 3rd.

  I was locked up for two whole days.

  Outside was parked a Mercedes-Benz car, and I followed the old man into it.

  As soon as the old man got on the bus, he held my hand and said: "Thank you very much for this matter, I have heard a positive explanation of the whole thing, oh, I didn't think it was so serious."

  "You're being polite, I haven't even thanked you for this matter yet. But that Wang Jinlong is a real swindler." After I finished speaking, the old man nodded and said: "I understand this matter better than you do. It's not just you, many people who have had their fortunes told by him know he's a fake Taoist."

  "Why bother going to him for fortune-telling then?" I wondered.

  "If it were someone else who did this to you, I'd drag him to the army and pin a treason charge on him, but not with him. You think those high-ranking government officials visit him just to have their fortunes told?" The old man chuckled and said: "This guy is clever and has a huge network of connections, he even knows some people in the provincial government. His current Jinlong Taoist temple is already a social platform for government officials."

  "Who wants to get promoted, wants to give gifts, but has no relationship with the superior, goes to find him, it's more useful than finding the leader." The old man said: "If I were younger, it wouldn't matter, but I'm old, can't afford to offend too many people, ensuring you get out is already my limit."

  "I understand, thank you." I nodded, these official things are too complicated, can't be explained clearly, but just this way I'm already very grateful to the old man.

  "Be more careful during this period, Wang Jinlong is a vengeful person and he must be thinking of ways to get revenge after suffering a big loss. If you have anything, just call Yizheng directly."

  "No big deal, just a fake Taoist. He's asking for trouble, I'll get some ghosts to take care of him." I smiled wryly and didn't take it seriously, a swindler is just a swindler, no matter how hard he tries, he can't stir up any waves.

  Besides, the mountain book and the above are mostly ghost-catching techniques, but there are also killing techniques. If you really provoke me, I'll do what I said, find a few ghosts to kill him, personally killing someone is against the law, find a few ghosts to kill him, can the police still find me?

  Of course, this is just a thought, and I don't have any deep grudges against that guy either. As long as he doesn't bother me in the future, I won't bother with him either.

  The old man smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything like "you shouldn't have killed him". People who have really fought in battles and killed others are different from us who grew up in peaceful times.

  "Alright, hurry up and go to school now. Your family is covering for you, saying that you're helping the troops catch ghosts. Your parents don't know about this, just make something up when you get back and they'll be fine." The old man patted me on the shoulder.

  I nodded and got off the car, watching the old man's vehicle disappear into the distance. I had originally wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, I decided to head back to school instead. After all, my parents were being taken care of by the old man.

  But I'm worried again, damn it, when I confessed to Zhao Shenyu at the Public Security Bureau, now that I see her, what can I do, how embarrassing.
