Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 118 The Battle of Life and Death (High Energy in this Chapter)
In the afternoon, Niu Yuxian woke up, and Xu Zhiqiong bought him some food: "Brother, just stare at the gate of the Wu Mansion for a while, be sure to stare. I'll go back and get a change of clothes."

"It's easy to say!" Niu Yuxian is a serious person, Xu Zhiqiong asked him to watch, and he found a tea stand to sit down and stared intently.

At dusk, Wu Ziqing returned home with a pale face.

During the day, he received a secret letter from the sixth princess, and he was scolded for no reason. The words were very fierce, and there were even many vulgar words.

Wu Ziqing didn't know where he offended the sixth princess, and he didn't know why he was scolded. When he returned home, he gritted his teeth and said, "Witch, if I didn't see your status as noble, how could I allow you to be humiliated like this!"

Before entering the door, Wu Ziqing sprinkled a few copper coins at the door to see which unlucky ghosts would come to pick them up!
After entering the door, throw pots and bowls to see who dares to touch the mold!
The family didn't know where he got the ignorant karmic fire, so they all hid from him. Wu Ziqing had nowhere to spread the fire. He went to the backyard to see Miaoying in the woodshed. The little girl shivered in a corner, but she still didn't die.

She is so hard-pressed!But this family let her down!

Although he was angry, he didn't dare touch Miaoying, he was afraid of ruining his reputation.

What he said to the outside world was that Miaoying died of a hunger strike to save her grandmother. This is a beautiful story of filial piety!
If he beat her, even if he didn't kill her, wouldn't he be stigmatized if he was seen by his subordinates and spread the word?
To poison her to death?
That's even worse.

She must be starved to death!
This is not only related to the life of the old lady, but also whether he can enter the product.

When Shopkeeper Chang gave him that prescription, he had to ask his loved ones to go on a hunger strike and die in exchange for their lives.

It is also clearly stated in the canon that the closest relatives must be allowed to perish themselves, which is the condition for entry.

To starve this girl to death, I want to help me get into the product, but also save my mother's life, this is the best of both worlds!
When I have four or five levels of cultivation, why should I be controlled by others?

Wu Ziqing clenched his fists and was about to leave the firewood room when he heard the report from his maidservant: "Master, Mrs. Tai invites you to have a glass of wine."

"Nonsense!" Wu Ziqing said angrily, "Mrs. Tai is seriously ill, how can she drink alcohol?"

The servant girl tremblingly said: "This is the order of Mrs. Tai!"

Wu Ziqing frowned: "I'll go and have a look."

Drink as much as you want, and if you make a mistake, it will be a relief, and it won't ruin my reputation anyway.

When Wu Ziqing arrived at the old lady's room, the old lady ordered the maid to prepare some side dishes, and poured Wu Ziqing a glass of wine herself.

"Qing'er, sit down, you have been tired these days."

Wu Ziqing stepped forward to persuade: "Mother, you are still sick, so you should stop drinking."

"What are you afraid of? Drink some wine, this cough can be suppressed a bit, come, let's have a drink with my mother first."

The mother and son drank a few cups, the old lady said: "Qing'er, do you still remember when your father passed away?"

"My child remembers that when my child was two years old, my father passed away."

"Do you know how my mother has lived these years?"

Wu Ziqing really didn't want to talk about these things!
How did it go?

There are definitely difficulties, but they are not too difficult.

When his father left, he left a few acres of land. The family was not considered rich, but they could afford food and clothing.

But the old lady likes to talk about it, and she can't stop talking.

"Do you still remember when you were sick at the age of nine, your mother and I searched for doctors and medicines everywhere, and how much money was spent to save your life?"

Wu Ziqing nodded and said, "My child remembers."

"Do you remember when you were ten years old and went to school, how many repairs did it take me to hire you a gentleman?"

Wu Ziqing nodded and said, "I remember."

"Do you remember that when you were seventeen years old to rush for the exam, how much money did your mother save for you?"

Wu Ziqing nodded: "I remember."

"Do you remember growing up, every time you eat chicken, mother always left you the chicken legs?"

……

It's not enough to just say that you remember, once these things are brought up, Wu Ziqing will cry.

No howling, you have to shed tears.

"Mother is so kind, the child will never forget it!" Wu Ziqing picked up the wine glass and drank it down with tears in his eyes.

The old lady sighed and said, "It's useless to say that, people, living in this world, let's look at the conscience! If the conscience is gone, the beast is worse!"

"Mother taught me that." Wu Ziqing was a little unsteady, and the wine was a bit high.

The old lady snorted and said, "Let me ask you, did you feel distressed when you cut off that poor man's hand in order to cure me?"

"Mother, I don't feel bad, and I didn't even blink!" Wu Ziqing saw double images.

"Now that you want your girl's life, don't you feel bad again?"

"What are you talking about, mother..." Wu Ziqing staggered and fell to the ground.

What's wrong with this?
Was drunk?
Why don't you have any strength.

The old lady smiled: "It's fine if you don't feel bad. I want a piece of meat from you today, so you shouldn't feel bad, right?"

After finishing speaking, the old lady turned around, took a rope, and tied Wu Ziqing to the chair.

The potency of this wine comes and goes quickly, if you wait a little longer and Wu Ziqing can move, the old lady really can't hold him back.

"Mother, what are you doing? What are you going to do?" Wu Ziqing was terrified.

The old lady took out a sharp boning knife from under the pillow.

"Son, you grit your teeth, just two taels, mother doesn't want you much, your flesh and blood are all given by mother, how much is two taels?"

Wu Ziqing opened his mouth wide and wailed loudly: "Mother, mother, what are you going to do? Are you going to kill the child?"

"Why are you shouting? How can you die if you lose two taels of meat?"

The old lady untied Wu Ziqing's clothes, and Wu Ziqing shouted like a pig: "Killer, murderer, come here!"

The old lady covered his mouth and said, "What are you calling? Aren't you afraid of losing face? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? None of them dare to come in without my order, and it's useless for you to shout!"

A sharp knife was stabbed in the chest, just after making a cut, Wu Ziqing, who couldn't move at first, started kicking desperately!
Wu Ziqing is a filial son, as long as he treats his mother's illness, he will cut off his wife's flesh or his child's flesh as soon as he wants, and he has never felt sorry for him.

But only my own flesh can't do it, it really hurts!

The pain from the medicine has dissipated a lot.

According to the plan made by Xu Zhiqiong and Duan Shiyun, as long as the old lady worked harder and cut off this piece of meat, Wu Ziqing would undoubtedly die.

But Xu Zhiqiong kept watching from behind with a hidden mirror, he couldn't let Wu Ziqing die like this.

Sacrifice your life to save your mother and become a filial son?
How can there be such a good thing that will ruin your reputation!

He took out a small knife and cut Wu Ziqing's binding rope.

Wu Ziqing broke free from the rope, pushed the old lady away with all his strength, and ran out stumbling.

The strength of the medicine was still there, Wu Ziqing couldn't run fast, the old lady caught up with her in two steps, and knocked Wu Ziqing down from behind.

Wu Ziqing knew that the old lady was old, so he picked up a fire stick behind him and hit it on the head. He thought the old lady couldn't bear it!

He was wrong. The old lady was very tenacious. Although there was blood on her forehead, it did not affect her ability to move at all. She held up a sharp knife and stabbed Wu Ziqing directly in the back.

"You bastard, you dare to hit me! You have no conscience!"

This was a life-and-death contest. The old lady missed the knife and stabbed it in the lower back.

Wu Ziqing wailed, kicked the old lady away, and ran out desperately. The old lady chased out with a sharp knife.

Xu Zhiqiong originally wanted to read scriptures in the old lady's ear to persuade her to kill her, but now he doesn't need it.

The old lady's eyes are red!She's already done it!

She also drank a lot of wine (not medicinal wine). She wanted to live another twenty years, and she had long lost her mind.

The family was terrified, they didn't know what happened, and no one dared to stop them.

The old lady chased after her desperately, but the medicine wore off quickly, and Wu Ziqing also ran faster and faster. After all, he was a mature man, and the old lady couldn't catch up with him.

Seeing Wu Ziqing running out of the mansion, as long as he can run to the street, he can get rid of the old lady.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the door, he stepped on the copper coins he had scattered.

His foot slipped, and Wu Ziqing fell down the steps and sprained his left foot.

Wu Ziqing groaned repeatedly, unable to stand up.

The old lady's face was covered with blood, she rushed out of the mansion, took a knife, and stabbed Wu Ziqing.

At the critical moment, Wu Ziqing twisted the old lady's wrist and snatched the knife.

The old lady wanted to take the knife back, Wu Ziqing exerted all his strength, and with a puff, the sharp bone-eviscer pierced into the old lady's neck.

The old lady clutched her neck, and Wu Ziqing was covered in blood.

At nightfall, it is the busiest time in the south of the city.

The front of the Wu Mansion was instantly surrounded by people.

"Who is this?"

"Isn't this Wu Yushi?"

"Who is this on him?"

"Isn't this their old lady?"

"Why is Wu Yushi holding a knife in his hand!"

"He killed their old lady?"

The onlookers were all frightened, not to mention they were timid, even Niu Yuxian was frightened.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! I am the Lantern Lantern, get out of the way!"

Niu Yuxian walked to the front, and was a little at a loss when he saw a person and a dead body in front of him.

Wu Ziqing pushed away the old lady's body, trying to escape, but was kicked to the ground by Niu Yuxian.

Niu Yuxian stepped on Wu Ziqing, feeling a little flustered.

This is how to do?
Zhiqiong just let me watch it for a while, and this kind of thing happened.

How can I explain to Zhiqiong?
What's wrong with this?
Why did Wu Ziqing kill someone suddenly?

Kill him or his biological mother?

This is, this is... is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

Duan Shiyun was also among the onlookers, and he was also dumbfounded.

This is different from the plan!

It wasn't Wu Ziqing who died, but his old lady.

The old lady is also successful, and the sin karma is also four inches.

But this heart is always unpleasant, after all, he has put a lot of effort into Wu Ziqing!
Forget it, let's get rid of the crime first.

"Everyone, let's make way, let's make way!" Duan Shiyun put on an anxious expression and pushed away the crowd, "I am the shopkeeper of Changji Pharmacy, and I know medical skills. Let me see if Mrs. Tai can save her."

Just as Duan Shiyun was about to step forward, he suddenly heard Xu Zhiqiong yelling from a distance: "Everyone stand back! Lantern Lantern holds the lantern!"

Hearing this, Niu Yuxian opened the light box, and twelve blue lanterns flew into the air, and the two sturdy iron walls formed a courtroom, and Duan Shiyun was stopped outside the wall.

Holding the blue lantern, Xu Zhiqiong came from a distance, bent down, and first tried the old lady's breath.

The old lady was already dead, so Xu Zhiqiong took off the sin karma and put it in his arms.

The old lady's horns are motionless, her soul is very peaceful!

It shouldn't be, she has such a bad temper.

Could it be that he was killed by his own son, and all thoughts were lost?

This sinful karma is so dark!
Duan Shiyun stared at Xu Zhiqiong, does this guy want to eat alone?

I'm unhappy in my heart, but I don't dare to speak nonsense. There are Taoist sayings, and the secular world has secular rules. Who dares to be presumptuous when carrying a lamp in trial?

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the old lady's body, then at Wu Ziqing who was full of horror, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wu Ziqing was trembling all over, unable to speak, Niu Yuxian said: "Wu Ziqing, the inspector censor, scuffled this woman on the street and stabbed her to death!"

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Who is this woman!"

This question is very loud, he wants everyone to know who this woman is!
Niu Yuxian said: "This woman is Wu Ziqing's biological mother."

Xu Zhiqiong stared round his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Is it true? Didn't you read it wrong?"

Niu Yuxian glanced at Xu Zhiqiong.

Is that even a question?
I have been staring at this for a few days, and I already know the bottom line!

I thought so in my heart, but I had to agree, after all, Xu Zhiqiong was Qing Denglang: "My lord, just ask these onlookers, they have all seen it with their own eyes!"

Twelve blue lanterns swayed back and forth, and there were instruments of torture inside.

The people in the south of the city are quite knowledgeable, who doesn't know the method of carrying the lantern?Just answer truthfully, don't wait to suffer.

Everyone replied:
"The villain saw it with his own eyes!"

"Wu Yushi killed his mother."

"Wu Yushi is a filial son, how could he do such a thing!"

"What are you talking about as a filial son? It's not as good as a beast!"

Wu Ziqing came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head again and again and said: "Wu Ziqing, you are famous, I never thought you could do such a thing! Take the criminal and the corpse back to the Yamen for disposal!"

The onlookers hurried out of the way, Xu Zhiqiong was in charge of escorting the prisoner, and Niu Yuxian was in charge of carrying the corpse.

Duan Shiyun looked at Xu Zhiqiong coldly.

Young man, you are too reckless and too unruly.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Duan Shiyun with a smile.

Don't worry, old man, it's your turn next time.

Judges cannot kill each other, but there are some things that cannot be tolerated.

Not only I can't bear it, Master also said, I can't bear it!
