Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 120 Submarine Fire Soldier Yang Wu

Fengle Tower, bells and ginseng wine, Wu Xu, who is in charge of thousands of households in the yamen, two red lights Chen Yuanzhong and Qiao Shungang, green lights Liu Dashun, Zuo Jinqiu, Li Shangan, lights guards Qu Jinshan, Su Guosheng, blue lights Xu Zhiqiong, white lights Lang Niu Yuxian and others were present.

Tsing Yi Pavilion was also invited, Shao Shi Jiang Feili, Si Ji Tsing Yi Bai Shanjun, Si Yan Tsing Yi Qin Huangyu, Si Bu Tsing Yi Tang Yuwan, Si Wei Tsing Yi Wang Chunchang, four sixth-rank Tsing Yis all came, Dian Ji, Dian Yan, etc. Seven or eight Quite a number of Grade [-] Tsing Yis have also arrived, and only one Ninth Grade Tsing Yi was invited, Yu Chi Lan.

As a result, Yu Chilan tried several times, but still couldn't get out of bed, so she had to give up.

Zhong Shen was straightforward, and there were not so many etiquettes during the banquet, and everyone had a good time changing cups and drinking.

Zhong Shen said to Chen Yuanzhong: "Yuanzhong, the Yamen in charge of lamps will be entrusted to you in the future, you can fight for your strength, you can't lose Wu Qianhu's prestige."

Chen Yuanzhong smiled: "Commander, we should be called Wu Shilang."

Zhong Shen patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, I'd like to offer a cup to Minister Wu!"

what's the situation?
How did you become a martial servant?

Xu Zhiqiong knew that Wu Xu was going to be promoted, but according to what he said before, he should be promoted to deputy commander first, and then he might be transferred from the Imperial City Division.

Jiang Feili said from the side: "You don't know yet, Your Majesty has decreed that your thousand households will be directly promoted to the third rank, and now you are the left servant of the Ministry of Rites."

It really is the Ministry of Rites!
While speaking, Jiang Feili looked lonely.

Xu Zhiqiong whispered: "Why is Jiang Shaoshi unhappy?"

"Who's unhappy?" Jiang Feili shook her head and said, "I'm very happy!"

After speaking, she picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

She probably felt that she was not worthy of Wu Qianhu in terms of status, right?

Don't think so, Wu Qianhu is not that kind of snobbish person.

In fact, Jiang Feili was not worried about the gap in status, she was worried about Wu Xu's errand, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of ritual music and teaching workshop.

Where is the teaching workshop?
Jiaofang is a government-run place with a strong fragrance.

Influenced by the famous Internet works in his previous life, Xu Zhiqiong always thought that there was a place called Jiaofangsi in Daxuan Capital, which was a paradise for all men.

But he was wrong.

There are sixteen teaching workshops in Daxuan Capital, but none of them are called teaching workshops.

Yinggeyuan is the teaching workshop, run by the government.

The Frost Leaf Pavilion is also a teaching workshop, which is run by the government.

The three courtyards, the three pavilions, the four pavilions, and the sixth floor, these sixteen government-operated places constitute the teaching workshop system in the capital.

Wu Xu, direct supervisor of Jiaofang Secretary, this is a job that all men envy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feili felt anxious.

Zhong Shen raised his glass and said, "Wu Shilang, we brothers will go to the Jiaofang and report your name in the future, so the pollen money can be calculated less!"

Wu Xu laughed and said, "What kind of money is that? As long as you are a brother of our Imperial City Division, whether it is Wuwei Camp, Tsing Yi Pavilion, or the Lantern Yamen, you don't have to pay for it if you report my name!"

Jiang Feili spat: "What are we going to do in Qingyi Pavilion?"

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to toast a glass of wine: "Qianhu, congratulations to Gaosheng!"

Wu Xu raised his glass and said, "Go to Yinggeyuan in the future and write more good words!"

The two drank the wine, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Qianhu, please sit down, I'll go to the toilet to relieve myself."

"Stop!" Wu Xu took out an empty wine jar, "Use here!"

Everyone looked at Xu Zhiqiong.

It also includes all the Tsing Yis in Tsing Yi Pavilion.

Xu Zhiqiong blushed and said, "How can you pee..."

Wu Xu burped: "Don't piss and hold back!"

Just hold back!

Isn't it because you are afraid that I will go to the Wu Mansion?

Seeing Wu Xu is very happy, but I don't know if it's real or just pretending.

As long as he is real.

From the fifth rank to the third rank, and even to the fourth rank, this is something that all officials dare not even think about. He should be happy.

I won't go to Wu Mansion tonight, I can't spoil Qianhu's interest.

……

Han Di jumped into the courtyard of Wu Mansion, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured the oil in the porcelain bottle into the main room in the front yard.

After the main room is the wing room, and after the front yard is the back yard. Don't pour too much at a time, just a little bit is enough. This is Tao Huayuan's special kerosene.

After pouring the oil, Han Di took out a torch, blew it on, and threw it into the main room.

In the blink of an eye, the fire engulfed the main room and spread to the surroundings.

Han Di was not in a hurry to leave, she wanted to watch the fire, it was bound to burn the Wu Mansion to ashes tonight.

……

On the watchtower, Yang Wu was standing guard, when he suddenly saw the flames shooting up into the sky in the distance.

Yang Wu hurriedly sent a signal, three gongs, five drums!
Three gongs represent the south of the city.

Five drums represent the fifth street from the imperial city.

After beating the gongs and drums, Yang Wu rushed to the Wu Mansion with a pickaxe, a copper gong and a bucket.

Being a coward in the Lantern Yamen does not mean that he will become brave when he goes to the Submerged Fire Squad.

Yang Wuchong was so fast not to put out the fire, but to arrive at the scene of the fire as soon as possible and then send a signal.

The first person to arrive at the scene of the fire counts as a meritorious service. Yang Wu really wants to make a contribution. He still wants to go back to the Imperial City Division. .

Yang Wu ran fairly fast, and his Watchtower was the closest to the Wu Mansion, so he was the first one to come when he rushed to the door.

Yang Wu picked up the gong and started to strike it bang bang bang.

He was the first to strike the gong, and no one can take away the credit.

Just as he was knocking vigorously, a section of the courtyard wall of the Wu Mansion burned down and collapsed.

Yang Wu shuddered, the gong almost fell to the ground.

The next scene frightened him even more. There was a person standing in the yard.

"Come out! You don't want to live anymore? Come out quickly..."

This person looks familiar!
"Junior Sister Han, hurry up!" Yang Wu recognized Han Di.

Han Di didn't expect that the wall would collapse suddenly.

She didn't even expect that Yang Wu would recognize her even with her face covered.

This is how to do?
If the identity is leaked, don't say that the sixth princess can't explain it, I'm afraid this life will be in danger.

Han Di lowered his head and rushed into the main room, where flames flew.

Why are you crazy?What is she doing there?
Yang Wu threw away the gong, without any hesitation, he rushed into Wu's mansion and went straight to the main room.

Entering the main room, I saw Han Di standing in the middle of the room, silently in a daze.

"Junior Sister Han, what's wrong with you, come with me, this house is going to collapse!"

Yang Wu grabbed Han Di's hand.

This was the first time in his life that he touched Han Di's hand.

Junior sister's hands are so soft...

Han Di suddenly raised his head and kicked Yang Wu.

Yang Wu staggered and bumped into the wooden wall.

The wooden wall collapsed, pressing Yang Wu under the wall.

Yang Wu passed out, Han Di glanced at him, turned and left the Wu Mansion.

……

A fire overnight burned the Wu mansion to ashes, and the submerged fire team found a charred corpse from the Wu mansion.

Yang Wu is dead.

That afternoon, the Yang family set up a mourning hall.

Xu Zhiqiong and Chu He came and burned incense and paper to Yang Wu.

Yang Wu's father, Chief Yang of the Ministry of Rites, said in a trembling voice: "You are in charge of the yamen, and you look down on us Wu'er, but last night, I heard from the submerged fire soldiers that our Wu'er was the first to rush into the flames."

Chu He burst into tears: "Good brother, we brothers have never counseled..."

After crying, Chu He took out a hair tie.

"At the beginning, Junior Sister Han bought a dressing table, and I carried him from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. Junior Sister gave me a hairband, but it made you so hungry, I will give it to you today." Chu He put the hairband on the table. On the altar, Xu Zhiqiong grabbed it and threw it out.

Chu He said: "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and murmured: "Wait for you to fall into my hands, just wait for you to fall into my hands!"

He picked up Yang Wu's pickaxe in the ruins.

He took the pickaxe and went to the little black house.

He knew how Yang Wu died.

Han Di, just wait for you to fall into my hands!
……

At night, Xu Zhiqiong returned to the yamen, unhappy.

Wu Xu called him to Ming Deng Xuan, Xu Zhiqiong remained silent.

"I heard that Yang Wu is dead," Wu Xu sighed, "after all, he used to be from my yamen. Tomorrow, I will send two hundred taels of silver to him."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "Thank you Qianhu."

Wu Xu said, "Do you know how he died?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't hide it, and directly told the truth: "Han Di went to set fire last night, Yang Wu ran into her and was killed by her."

"How do you know? Judges don't have the ability to predict." Wu Xu stopped playing charades.

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and said, "I can't say."

"If you don't say it, don't say it," Wu Xu didn't ask any more, and looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Are you still hating me?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I don't remember hating Qianhu, but I'm in a panic. If I went to the Wu Mansion last night, I wouldn't be tricked by that bitch Han Di! Maybe Yang Wu won't die either!"

Wu Xu sneered: "If you went to the Wu Mansion, do you think there will still be Han Di in the Wu Mansion?"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback.

Wu Xu sighed: "Liang Yuyao is a little reckless, but she is by no means stupid. How could Han Di be left to do such an important thing as arson? From the moment Yang Wu saw Han Di, he was sure to die, and he would not be harmed by Han Di." If you die, there are others waiting, even if you go, there will not be one more corpse."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Wu Xu, he now understood one thing, why Wu Xu didn't let him go to the Wu Mansion to collect evidence.

After Wu Xu's promotion, Xu Zhiqiong will have to face many things in the future, including ruthless people like the sixth princess.

Wu Xu got up and said: "I once said that before the royal family, it is useless to witness the bird. If you take that account book, it is equivalent to taking a life-threatening talisman. You can't tell when your head will be taken away." up,
The Nufu Cult has infiltrated the officials, and this matter is no longer as simple as a royal battle. I will take care of this matter, whether it is your thousand households or not. Liang Yuyao should be relieved when the account books are burned. We should also let Wu Ziqing tell the truth. "

Wu Xu brought Xu Zhiqiong to the prison, and several prison guards stepped forward to salute: "I have seen Mr. Minister."

Wu Xu waved his hand and said: "Don't call me the servant, I haven't taken up the post yet, it's still you Qianhu, you all go out and watch at the door."

All the prison guards left, Wu Xu came to the prison and sat in front of Wu Ziqing.

"There is still one day to lead to death, what else do you have to say?"

Wu Ziqing drooped his head: "What else can I say?"

"Your Majesty sentenced you to Ling Chi and cut you three hundred knives, do you want to have a good time?"

Wu Ziqing smiled wryly: "Do you dare? If I die in the prison tonight, will you be worthy of it?"

Wu Xu took out a pill from his bosom: "This is my yamen's secret medicine, if you keep it in your mouth, it can kill you in eight hours, if you keep the medicine in your mouth tonight, when you arrive at Liangfen Garden tomorrow, you should almost die. Eat early and die early, but suffer less.”

Wu Ziqing shook his head and said, "This trick can also deceive me?"

"If you don't believe it, it's fine. If you delay for an extra hour, you will suffer for an extra hour. I don't have anything else to do. I will spend the night here with you."

Wu Ziqing bowed his head in silence, while Wu Xu watched silently.

After half an hour, Wu Ziqing said, "What do you want to ask?"

Wu Xu said, "Where does your family's money come from?"

"Seventy percent was given by the sixth princess, and the remaining thirty percent was given by colleagues."

Seventy percent?

Princess Six is ​​so generous!

Wu Xu asked again: "I heard that you spent [-] guan to buy a page of nufu canon. What's the use of this canon?"

"Only after obtaining the teaching rules can you enter the inner way."

"What's the use of entering the inner way?"

"Only after entering the inner way can you enter the product."

Wu Xu frowned: "What kind of product?"

"Nu Fu Dao, rank nine."

Wu Xu knew about Nufu Dao, but in order to prevent Wu Ziqing from lying, he verified a sentence: "Who protects Nufu Dao?"

"Angry King Tianxing."

This is consistent with the information Wu Xu has.

Wu Xu asked again: "Ninth rank of the Nufu Dao, what method do you have?"

He wants to ask about skills.

Wu Ziqing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Wu Xu frowned: "You have taken the canon and already entered the product, why don't you know the method?"

Wu Ziqing said: "The canonical rules only teach the method of entry, and the things that should be done have not been completed, so they have not yet entered."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Nonsense! I've read your canon page, and there's no way to talk about it!"

Wu Ziqing was surprised: "Have you seen it?"

In front of Wu Xu, Xu Zhiqiong didn't have to hide anything, he just recounted what he saw.

Wu Ziqing shook his head and said, "You only read half of it. If you sprinkle some water on that page, you can still see the other half."

There are so many mysteries hidden in a page of canon?
"What did the other half say?"

Wu Ziqing said: "If you are angry with your dearest relatives, trap them and make them self-destruct, you will be blessed by the stars."

Find a close relative, trap him, let him die, and you will be able to enter the product.

This is the condition for entry into Nufu Dao.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Why did you choose your youngest daughter Miaoying?"

"Miaoying is the most obedient to me. I ordered her not to tell the truth, but she didn't tell. I told her not to cry, but she didn't cry. I asked her to change her grandmother's life, and she agreed, so that It won't ruin my reputation."

Xu Zhiqiong clenched his fist, then slowly let go, and asked, "She obeys you the most, so you want to kill her?"

Wu Ziqing looked indifferent: "Her life was a gift from me, so what's the point if I take it back? If she dies, she will save her grandmother's life. And if she can help me enter the ranks, it's a worthy death."

Xu Zhiqiong stopped talking, and Wu Xu asked the last question: "You said someone bought this page of canon for you, who is that person?"

Wu Ziqing said: "Shangshu of the Household Department, Wan Xingbang."

The corners of Wu Xu's eyes twitched, and his face was frosty: "But you didn't lie to me?"

Wu Ziqing smiled wryly; "You've come to this field, why should I lie to you?"

Xu Zhiqiong was also shocked.

The Minister of the Household Department, in charge of money and food, a second-rank official, and the core figure of Daxuan, will be a member of the Nufu Cult!

Wu Ziqing raised his head and said, "I know, I've already said it all, Wu Qianhu, you won't just keep your word, right?"

Wu Xu handed the pill to Wu Ziqing, who swallowed it in one gulp.

He gritted his teeth, raised his head, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "After Wu died, he turned into a dead soul. If he can still see you, he will seek revenge from you!"

Wu Xu laughed when he heard this.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "You're half right."

After you die, you will definitely see me.

But you have no chance to seek revenge.

After leaving the prison, Xu Zhiqiong asked, "Qianhu, is that pill real?"

Wu Xu nodded: "It's true."

"Can you really let him die?"

Wu Xu shook his head: "It can make him dumb."
