Chapter 86 The Judge
The night wind seemed to be silent for a moment.

After a while, the judge said, "Why do you think so?"

Tang Zhao asked back, "Don't you?"

The judge laughed, his voice changed, and became Tang Zhao's familiar voice, and said, "I am. I'm just wondering how you can tell?"

Tang Zhao let out a sigh. He actually had the bottom line in his heart, and he didn't cheat casually, but even if he was [-]% sure, he couldn't confirm it with his own words. He said with a smile, "If you see it, you can see it. Don't you think your acting skills are exquisite, my lord?" Peerless, can others not see the flaws?"

Judge, Xing Ji said: "No, no, according to my experience..."

Tang Zhao complained secretly: "You really have experience."

"It doesn't matter whether the acting skills are exquisite or not. As long as the identity is well established, preconceived ideas come first, and there will be minor problems in the future, most people will not think about other things at all. Only a fatal flaw will be exposed in one place, which will make people suddenly act out and become suspicious. Then the more you think about it, the more wrong it becomes, and all the small doubts in the past will be linked together, and the defense line will collapse, so you can't hide it."

He touched the mask and said, "Of course, there are cases where it will take a long time to hide it gradually. But the judge only shows two sides, and the real relationship is only one night. Is there any big flaw?"

Tang Zhao understood what he meant, and said, "That said, I can't tell you the flaws, but I did figure it out for a moment—didn't you stop me from killing people in the dungeon before?"

Xing Ji let out an "ah" and stopped talking.

Tang Zhaodao: "Stretch out a hand from the dungeon door and grab my sword. I still remember that scene. Later in the grape yard, I fought angrily again, but you stopped me. It was at that moment, I felt deja vu .”

"Think about it carefully, who else in this world would stop me from killing people? Especially for the first time, you grabbed my blade from the front with your hand, which is a rare action. Even if you have strong strength to back it up, from Grasping the sword head-on should require real determination! Even if my sword is extremely sharp and my flesh and blood are cut off, I still have to stop me. With this kind of determination, besides Mr. Xing, is there anyone else in the world?"

Xing Ji listened quietly.The black and white mask covered his expression, making him look like a sculpture.

Tang Zhao continued: "I won't talk about it later. As you said, once you start to doubt something, it's wrong to think about it. In fact, I still want to ask, what are you trying to do? You are a dignified fifth-rank official in the court, and you are really playing a game." Addicted?"

Xing Ji finally spoke, his voice still as casual as ever, and said: "No, no, this time is really not a game. In fact, I wanted to use my identity as a judge to teach you swordsmanship every night. When you come, I think you I have read some miscellaneous books at this age, I must like the adventure of an expert Kui coming into your house at night to teach you martial arts, maybe it will double your interest in learning."

Tang Zhao said "hehe" twice, thinking: Actually, you like it, right?

But what he said was correct, if the judge just found an excuse as a great master and taught him superb swordsmanship in the middle of the night, it would be really mysterious and exciting, and it would be very suitable for the appetite of this young man in the second grade.

"Furthermore... I think since you hold that sword, the judge should teach you."

Tang Zhao said softly: "Is the judge really the owner of Quan Jian? Has he passed away? Was he the guardian envoy of the Procuratorate?"

Black and white masks, black and white swords...

magistrate.

Xing Ji said: "You are really smart. The judge is a swordsman of the Xiezhi sword and also my old boss. This sentence is a judge's judgment, not a judge from the underworld. Back then when I mentioned the iron-masked judge, children would not know if they cried or not. , Those demons and heretics are definitely going to cry."

Tang Zhao thought of Guan Lei who lost his temper after drinking, and couldn't help but remain silent.

Xing Ji's voice gradually lowered: "The prosecutors back then were no different than they are now. They said they were killing demons and calming the people, but they were actually hiding dirt, bullying men and women, accepting bribes, and blackmailing the people. What immoral things haven't they done? Even if you have two points of conscience after coming out of the training camp, you will lose it after working in the department for a few days. Only Mr. Judge is a ray of light."

"He is upright, upright, and selfless. He is as jealous of evil as Xiezhi. If there is a drop of clear water in the muddy water of Jiandisi, it is him. Because of him, we people still retain With a sense of justice."

"At that time, I was working in the hands of another guardian envoy. I learned all kinds of bad habits. I was confused and forgot my original ambition. Later, I fell into the hands of the judge. Originally, he wanted to kill me, but then the wrong It was a mistake, but it saved my life. Later, I took the initiative to follow him under his command. Infected by his virtue, I re-determined to be a hero of justice."

"So he saved my life twice, once with my life, once with my soul, reshaped my body and mind, and truly recreated with kindness. After he left, I also left the Procuratorate Department. Only recently did I return to the Department at the call of the Lord. , and kept the Xiezhi sword in my hand. Since I chose you as the sword envoy, I want to teach you as him."

Tang Zhaodao: "Then why did you give up again?"

Xing Ji said: "On the one hand, there was a bit of a mistake in the plan. It was actually an accident when your sword technique failed and suddenly appeared in front of me that night. I didn't intend to let you get mixed up with the Sumi Sword. You took it."

Tang Zhaodao: "Yes, you are also a swordsman, and your inspiration may be stronger than mine, so you don't need me at all."

Xing Ji said: "Inspiration is still stronger than you. I haven't found your limit yet. It should be the strongest I have ever seen. But it is enough for me to find the old flat head. It is a pity that I have such a good temper... I almost played on the road. Take it off, I almost let you kill someone with your own hands. Moreover, on the way, I gradually discovered... I am actually not suitable to play the role of a judge."

"In the beginning I was just fishing in troubled waters with that mask on, and I could do anything. Then I met you, and the plan started, and then I started to be a judge. When something happens, I have to think about it. What will the judge do when he encounters this kind of thing? How to say?"

Tang Zhao felt a little strange when he heard the words "Your Judge" coming from behind the black and white mask.

"But the more you think about it, the more difficult it is, and the more mistakes you do. For example, how will he deal with Sun Sheng, who has committed many crimes and murders? For example, will he put innocent young people in danger? For example, will he open the prison door without discrimination? , Let those prisoners kill and set fire? Sometimes I know what he would do, but I made other choices for the purpose. And sometimes, I don’t know what he will do, because I find that I don’t really know him. "

"I went back that night and asked myself, what am I like a judge? Not only am I not like him, I don't understand him, and I don't even respect him. I wear his mask and use his name, but I refuse to obey him a little bit. If he chooses to do some unrighteous things, it will damage his reputation. If he has a spirit in heaven, he will probably regret saving my life from the mouth of the demon."

Tang Zhao said: "That will never happen. If the judge is as clear as you said, black and white, upright and selfless, he will never regret saving people's lives."

Xing Ji froze for a moment, then fell silent again.

After a while, he took off the mask slowly, revealing his young and heroic appearance, handed the mask to Tang Zhao, and said, "Take it, it's his relic, and he also wears it when he holds that sword. It's like the judge is looking at you. If..."

He hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the last half of the sentence.

Tang Zhao took the mask, put it away solemnly, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

He asked again: "Then, Mr. Ping was also sent by you on purpose?"

Xing Ji said: "Yes, I can't teach you in the name of a judge, and things are too busy, so I choose another person to watch you. The old flat head is very suitable."

Tang Zhaodao: "He is a swordsman, are you also a swordsman? You are better than him? Otherwise, why would he listen to you?"

Xing Ji said: "Of course I am not better than him, that old man was very powerful back then, decades ago..."

Tang Zhao said, "Decades ago?"

Xing Ji raised his eyebrows and said: "Ah, what did the old man tell you? He is hundreds of years old? Not that old, he was still very active more than twenty years ago. Given his age, if you call him grandpa That’s okay, if you go higher, you’ll be a senior.”

Tang Zhao grinned and said, "Oh, then he has descended for a lifetime."

Xing Ji said: "Decades ago he provoked an enemy, was seriously injured, and could never come out of the jar again..."

Tang Zhao was taken aback again, and said, "Can't you come out?"

Xing Ji said: "What do you think? He doesn't want to come out? His condition is very similar to that of the white-haired one. His body collapsed. He relied on the sword's stored sword intent to keep the dying state, but he never escaped. No more cans. He's a 'man in a can'."

Tang Zhao felt uncomfortable, and said: "So it's like this. I said he was in a hysterical state. I just thought he was lonely, but it turned out to be sadness..."

Xing Ji said: "Besides, his sword intent and sword technique are very useful. Many people come to him again. The same goes for the white-haired one. His sword intent and the old man's complement are complementary. I have traced it all the way to this place, just to get this sword intent Take it."

Tang Zhaodao: "Sword intent can still plunder?"

Xing Ji said: "Yes, so swordsmen are very dangerous. There are dangers everywhere in the sky, the ground, and the world. But the sword intent cannot be taken randomly, and it is easy to mess up one's own sword intent. But old man Ping's sword skills are also very useful , like a delicious piece of fat, no wonder he hid in the dungeon. I brought him out, recruited him in the name of a prince, promised to heal his wounds, and he would naturally listen to the prosecutor."

Tang Zhao hurriedly asked, "Can it be cured?"

Xing Ji said: "Yes. He is the person that Junhou specially wants, so Junhou can naturally save him."

Tang Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Xing Ji smiled and said: "Thank you for what I do? I chatted with the old man Ping, and he really likes you. Although he listens to me, I just ask him to watch you practice swords and give some advice. He is willing to put in the effort Changing martial arts for you is because he admires you and is optimistic about you. Don't think that he is all hypocritical."

Tang Zhaodao: "I don't think so. And... thank you, sir."

Straighten out the twists and turns, and think about it carefully, Xingji has done his best to train him, and the master, resources, and various experiences have all given him painstaking efforts.Tang Zhao would not believe anyone who said that this was the official procedure of the District Procuratorate.

If it is said that Tang Zhao has been cheating during this period, there are at least two cheating, one of which is of course glasses, and the other is Xing Ji's sincere cultivation.

Except for his parents and Mr. Chen, no one treats him better than Xing Ji.

Tang Zhao felt that it was not that Xing Ji was trying to figure out something for him, but if he really wanted to "picture something", he couldn't do it.

Don't say thank you for your kindness, one thank you is definitely not enough.He may not be able to repay the glasses, but at least he can repay Xingji with all his heart.

At this time, the vortex in the jar gradually subsided, and the shadows below were gradually absorbed.

Only a mass of white ooze was left lying on the ground.

Xing Ji asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Tang Zhao observed carefully, and suddenly said in shock: "No, it's Bai—"

Suddenly, the white ooze turned into a white light and sprang up, vaguely in the shape of a fish, but with a human face on its head——

White-haired people!
The mermaid's speed was extremely fast, and it rushed forward with lightning speed, opened its mouth, and a mysterious wave sank into Tang Zhao's body.
