The young government official spoke solemnly, "It's still Old Liu who has thought it through. It's just that he's recklessly criticized our Qingzhou legal system..."
"Draw up a wanted decree, hang it up, and someone will surely bring him to justice."

As Chen Shi walked along, he saw many such solitary large trees by the roadside, each hanging one or maybe two or three corpses.

The wind blew, causing the skeletons hanging from the trees to collide and rattle, sounding like mature nuts on the tree.
In the wilderness, many Evil Spirits roamed, occasionally letting out spine-chilling roars; the malevolent energy gathered in the mountain ravines or over ponds, visible to the naked eye as either grey or green, and drifting like clouds between the mountains.
