My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 129 Night Trial of the Female Ghost Li Xiaohong

When everyone heard this, they shouted that this was a huge cult. Father Wu saw that the situation was not good and immediately wanted to explain.

Jiang Li stopped him again and fired a shot into the air to quiet the scene, then asked a woman holding a baby to come on stage.

He said to Father Wu, "I have heard that you Catholics preach that people are born with sin. Now I ask you whether this baby who is less than one year old has sin."

Hearing this, Father Wu managed to calm himself down and said, "People are born with sins, and they need to have a devout faith in God to atone for their sins and enter heaven after death. He is no exception."

Jiang Li immediately dug a trap when he heard him say that, "Then do you dare to point at his nose and say that you are guilty, and loudly tell all of us what his crime is?"

Father Wu hesitated for a while after hearing this, but finally mustered up the courage to point at the baby and said, "God, you are sinful. You are selfish, greedy, and arrogant. You have betrayed God's will. As long as you have sincere faith in God, God will forgive your sins."

Now everyone present couldn't hold back any longer and were ready to climb onto the stage to deal with Father Wu. Not only did he bring down disasters to destroy humanity, he also pointed at a tiny kid and accused him of being greedy and arrogant. Isn't this a pure cult?

Li Renjie and Annie had already shrunk to one side at this moment, not daring to say a word.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Jiang Li fired warning shots again and ordered the soldiers to calm the people. When he saw that the crowd had quieted down, he asked, "This is the situation. You can vote on whether to reopen the church. I fully respect your decision."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, someone started to shout, "Can't open, can't open."

Finally, they merged into a series of loud and clear voices. The voices were so loud and the crowds were so surging that even a few tiles fell off the roofs of the houses on the street.

After an unknown amount of time, the crowd finally calmed down. Jiang Li smiled and said to Father Wu, "Father Wu, you have also seen that the townspeople are very hostile to Catholicism, so you should just leave!"

Upon hearing this, Father Wu looked at the people below the stage, then looked at the people on the stage, and finally left with his head lowered helplessly.

At this time, the audience erupted in thunderous applause again. Jiang Li looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, this is over. Let's all go back!"

After the crowd dispersed, Uncle Jiu stepped forward and patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "It seems that you have seen a lot in the provincial capital before, and you know a lot about this Western religion!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Not bad. I said before that I was going undercover, so I must know more about their dirty laundry."

"Oh, by the way, Master, are the two behind you new disciples and sisters?"

Uncle Jiu smiled and said, "Oh, yes, I haven't introduced them to you yet. This is Ah Xing and Xiao Yue. They just came to become my disciples last month. They are still outer disciples. I brought them out this time to see the world."

Then he said to Ah Xing and Xiao Yue, "This is your third senior brother, come and meet him!"

So the two of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Jiang Li, saying, "Hello, Senior Brother Jiang. We are new here. If we have offended anyone by not understanding the rules, please forgive us!"

Jiang Li waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be so reserved, just be casual. Now that this matter has been resolved, let's go check out that winery!"

Uncle Jiu nodded in agreement, and took Ah Xing and Xiao Yue to the restaurant to meet Li Youcai. Jiang Li said a few words to the two squads of soldiers and let them return to the base.

When he found out the restaurant that Uncle Jiu mentioned, he saw Uncle Jiu walking out with a dark face. Jiang Li knew that Li Youcai had offended Uncle Jiu with his frivolous behavior.

But he still asked knowingly, "Master, what's going on? Didn't we talk about it?"

Uncle Jiu snorted coldly, "That guy is not a good person. He is full of sins and I don't know how many evils he has done."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li asked someone about it and found out that this guy was evil and cruel, and would kill anyone who did evil.

He got away with it during the previous trial because there was no plaintiff, but now that he has been discovered this time, he cannot be let off.

So he immediately sent people to visit and collect evidence of his crimes, but after a whole day's work, all they found were speculations and rumors. There was no real evidence or eyewitnesses, which made Jiang Li a little confused.

Killing him is easy, but killing him without any karma is difficult. After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea. He slapped his head and said with a smile, "I got it."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Li ordered his men to bring him to the trial platform. He then invited some relatively direct witnesses and mobilized a squad of soldiers to surround Li Youcai's house. Then he began the trial.

When the townspeople heard that Jiang Li was going to try a case involving Li Youcai, who was the subject of many rumors, they all ran out to watch, regardless of whether it was dark or not.

At this time, the trial platform was surrounded by torches and a small table was placed on the platform. Jiang Li sat in front of the table, slammed one hand on the table, pointed at Li Youcai with the other hand and said, "Li Youcai, do you admit your guilt?"

Li Youcai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried, "I am innocent, I am innocent!"

Seeing that he refused to plead guilty, Jiang Li asked the witnesses to speak one by one, but they all said things like "I heard", "I think", and "I guess". Li Youcai refused to admit it with gritted teeth.

Jiang Li didn't force him to do anything. He looked at him coldly and said, "I know you do things very cleanly and often leave no one alive, but do you think I can't do anything to you?"

He only heard him say loudly, "Plaintiff please!"

Then two Taoist soldiers brought a coffin and placed it under the stage. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding why they had to carry a coffin when they were only inviting the plaintiff.

But at this time Li Youcai was sweating profusely, because he recognized the coffin at a glance. Inside was Li Xiaohong who was killed by him a few days ago. It was this dead ghost who turned into a ghost and harassed him before.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Jiang Li explained, "You don't know, the person in the coffin is Li Xiaohong, who was killed by Li Youcai a few days ago."

"But she felt wronged and didn't want to be reincarnated, so she came to the county magistrate to file a complaint. Now that there are no witnesses, I will let the deceased tell her own story in person."

After saying that, he said to Uncle Jiu who was still confused, "Master, please start a ritual and let Li Xiaohong explain the injustice she suffered in public so that I can convict Li Youcai."

Uncle Jiu woke up from his dream when he heard this and said, "Okay...Okay, I'll start the ritual right away."

As he said that, Uncle Jiu set up an altar and called out Li Xiaohong's wronged soul. As soon as Li Xiaohong came out, he went straight to Li Youcai, wanting to kill him for revenge.

Jiang Li saw this and immediately shouted, "Master, stop her."

It’s not that Jiang Li thinks this guy shouldn’t die, but if Li Xiaohong kills Li Youcai at this time, Jiang Li will inevitably be involved in a life.

And what he did today was completely meaningless.

Uncle Jiu didn't wait for Jiang Li to speak. When he saw Li Xiaohong flying towards Li Youcai, he took action and subdued Li Xiaohong's soul in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Jiang Li asked Axing and Xiaoyue to take out pomelo leaves to open the Yin-Yang eyes of everyone present so that they could witness the trial with their own eyes.
