Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 121 Duan Shiyun, You Convicted

Liangfen Garden, execution ground.

Liangfen Garden is a royal garden, and it is also the execution ground for officials.

Will the royal gardens be open to common people?

Some of the royal gardens in Daxuan are open, and Liangfen Garden is one of them. It is open to civilians during major festivals and the execution of heinous officials.

During the festival, ordinary people will not come to this kind of place, bad luck.

But when the officials were executed, there were quite a few people who came, and many people wanted to watch the excitement, especially today's excitement.

Wu Ziqing, the inspector of Yushitai, killed his mother in the street and was executed by Ling Chi. Everyone wants to see such anecdotes in the world.

"Isn't Wu Yushi a dutiful son?"

"Yeah, you haven't heard that, in order to save his old lady's life, he cut off his own arm, really a filial son."

"Then why did he kill his old lady? Isn't there some grievance here?"

"What grievances can there be? The case has been judged. His wife wanted a piece of meat from him, but he didn't want to give it to him. The two started fighting. He killed his wife in the street. Many people saw it with their own eyes."

"Are you willing to give an arm, but not a piece of meat?"

"You don't know, he didn't give that arm, it belonged to his wife. I saw Mrs. Yushi yesterday. She is missing an arm!"

"What about the young lady in his family who is on hunger strike?"

"An eight-year-old girl went on a hunger strike? Do you believe it? He was locked in a woodshed, trying to starve the child to death!"

"Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring!"

"This man is not even as good as a beast, bah!"

There was endless swearing at the scene, Wu Ziqing didn't care about the swearing, he just wanted to get rid of it quickly.

From taking the medicine to now, the time should have been long enough, but Wu Ziqing felt that there was no reaction at all.

He looked at Xu Zhiqiong and thought: Could it be that they lied to me?

If you dare to lie to me, I will tell you about them. They know about the nufu sect and about the princess. The princess will definitely not spare them!
"Uh, uh..." Wu Ziqing wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound.

From early morning to now, it seems that sand is stuck in this throat, and I can't speak a word.

The executioner came, looking at the various knives, Wu Ziqing turned pale.

Ling Chi is a skilled worker, and there is no such talent in the yamen to hold the lights. Wu Xuxian transferred an executioner from the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment to carry out the execution, and Xu Zhiqiong and Chu He were in charge of the prison sentence.

Killing people was nothing to Chu He, but things like Ling Chi were beyond his current level. During the entire execution process, Chu He kept his eyes closed most of the time.

Xu Zhiqiong kept watching, looking at Wu Ziqing's distorted expression, looking at Wu Ziqing's expectant eyes.

Beast, do you know it hurts?

So many people are trembling and have suffered so much with you. Today you should know how much they hurt.

Until the executioner cut the two hundred and ninety-nine knives, Wu Ziqing still imagined that the medicine would work and he would be relieved quickly.

The last knife was stabbed in the heart, Wu Ziqing died, Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward for an autopsy, and took off the crime.

Duan Shiyun was also among the onlookers, looking at Xu Zhiqiong, smiling with the corners of his eyes downcast.

Xu Zhiqiong weighed the sin karma in his hands, but the sin karma still did not move, and the dead soul inside was very peaceful.

He saw that the seal on the sin karma belonged to Duan Shiyun, and the old lady's sin karma also had Duan Shiyun's master seal.

There is another mystery on this seal, Xu Zhiqiong smelled that familiar Yin Qi, which is unique to Fengdu City.

Duan Shiyun has a special method, he can use a seal to bind the soul, so he is not afraid of others robbing him of his crimes.

He sneered at Xu Zhiqiong.

Younger son, you are a joke in my eyes, and you can't get meritorious deeds if you take your sins.

Xu Zhiqiong put away his crimes, looked at Duan Shiyun, and shrugged his eyebrows.

Do you think I can't see through your tricks?
Laugh, you don't have much time left, just laugh enough, let's see if I will look for you tonight, or you will come to me.

On a night watch that night, Xu Zhiqiong went to Second Sister Lin's flower cake shop.

There were many guests tonight, Second Sister Lin served Xu Zhiqiong a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then went to work.

Xu Zhiqiong was not in a hurry, and slowly finished a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Xu Zhiqiong liked the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus very much.

After eating the flower cake, Xu Zhiqiong looked at Second Sister Lin with a smirk.

Second Sister Lin wanted to serve another bowl to Xu Zhiqiong, Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I'm full of cakes, and I want to eat something else."

Second Sister Lin blushed and said in a low voice, "There are so many people today, you are not allowed to mess around."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled naively: "Isn't it okay to just take a bite?"

Second Sister Lin looked around, pretended to lower her head to clean up the dishes, and secretly kissed Xu Zhiqiong on the face.

"Come on!" Second Sister Lin blushed and wanted to leave, but Xu Zhiqiong grabbed her hand.

"Don't, don't, wait a minute, there are so many people watching!" Second Sister Lin wanted to shake her hand away, but she felt something in her hand.

It is a glass bead.

There are craftsmen in Daxuan who can make colored glaze, but this is a rare item. This colored glaze bead with a diameter of one inch costs at least thirty taels of silver.

"Why did you give me this? I can't take this, it's too precious."

Xu Zhiqiong shook Second Sister Lin's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for saving my life."

"Denglang was joking, how can I have that ability?" Second Sister Lin wanted to return the glazed beads.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled, didn't say any more, got up with the lantern and left.

Second Sister Lin looked at the glass bead in her hand and found something inside.

There is an osmanthus petal inside.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!" the waiter greeted, "The guests at that table are waiting to serve cakes!"

"You greet first!"

"I can't do it..." The man raised his head, but Second Sister Lin was gone.

The second sister Lin held the glazed beads, caught up with Xu Zhiqiong, stood behind her, and shouted timidly, "Denglang!"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't turn his head: "There are so many Denglang, who knows which one is your name?"

"Xu Denglang!"

Xu Zhiqiong still didn't look back.

Second Sister Lin bit her lip: "Xu, Xu Lang..."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled, turned around and said, "What is your lady looking for from me?"

Second Sister Lin blushed: "I'm restless tonight, so be careful when you watch the night."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded, turned around and left again.

Second Sister Lin hurriedly shouted: "Xu Lang, I'll go with you to watch the night."

"What does this sound like?" Xu Zhiqiong turned around and kissed Second Sister Lin's cheek, "Let's go back and take care of business. When there are fewer people, I'll eat again. I have to eat enough!"

The second sister Lin was flustered because she felt that someone was following Xu Zhiqiong.

Even she noticed it, how could Xu Zhiqiong not know.

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to find a good place, a suitable place for Duan Shiyun.

What is the best place for him?
It must be Qierzhai!

That was Xu Zhiqiong's territory, and it was the most suitable for Duan Shiyun's identity.

Duan Shiyun followed Xu Zhiqiong all the way into the Qierzhai. The place is deserted and uninhabited. Duan Shiyun wanted to take the first step, but suddenly Xu Zhiqiong turned around and stood beside a broken house, waiting for him quietly.

"Senior Duan, are you here to look for me?"

Duan Shiyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly: "I just came to see my brother to discuss business matters."

Xu Zhiqiong pretended to be surprised: "Is there a business again?"

"There is plenty of business, but it must be stated clearly that we haven't settled the bill for the last business."

"Why is it called unresolved?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled, "Didn't it be agreed that all the merits will belong to me, do you only want to settle one thing on your mind?"

"Yes, I said that," Duan Shiyun nodded, "But Wu Ziqing's mother and son belong to my territory after all, and their crimes are stamped with my master's seal, so it seems inappropriate for you to just take them away." ?”

"Then how can I take it away?"

"Little brother, since you call me senior, I will tell you about the rules. There is my master's seal on the sin karma, so you should not touch it anymore. You should leave the sin karma to me and wait for me to go." Wouldn’t it be enough for the Punishment Division to redeem the meritorious deeds and then give it to you? Can I go back on what I promised you?”

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said with a smile: "Senior Duan hates evil like a vengeance, promises a thousand gold, how can he go back on his word, but now I have taken away the crimes, according to our judge's rules, the crimes that have passed through my hands are mine, and no one can take them away. , what do you think we should do about this?"

"It's easy to say!" Duan Shiyun took out a piece of paper, "You put your fingerprint on it and give me the meritorious service. I will go and get the meritorious service and give it to you. In this way, you have kept the rules and I have kept my promise." ,what do you think?"

"What if I don't press this fingerprint?"

"How can I say that?" Duan Shiyun smiled, and waved his hand suddenly, "Don't move!"

When the words fell to the ground, a cloud of Yin Qi wrapped around Xu Zhiqiong's body, like half of an iron chain, binding Xu Zhiqiong tightly.

This is his talent.

Xu Zhiqiong has always been good at speed, but Duan Shiyun's talent is astonishingly fast.

Is it really fast?
No, it's more weird than fast.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't move!" The skill was triggered immediately. This is obviously not the speed that an eighth-rank judge can achieve. This is the powerful characteristic of the skill itself, which reminds Xu Zhiqiong of a skill.

The first time he went to the Hall of Yama, Shi Cheng said: "The crime is more serious." The undead was trapped on the spot.

Ming Dao's Ninth Grade skill, painting the ground as a prison.

Duan Shiyun's innate skill is very similar to Ming Dao's ninth-grade skill.

The reason why Wu Ziqing's mother and son's criminal karma is so peaceful is because there is Duan Shiyun's seal on it, Xu Zhiqiong has already thought of this.

Duan Shiyun has the means of the underworld, and his seal can restrain the souls of the dead in sin.

Think about the talent skills of other judges.

In the Shangxun Building, the old judge Sun Junfu wanted to steal Xu Zhiqiong's meritorious service. His talent is fire, which is somewhat similar to Suzaku's life.

Qin Changmao's innate skill is divided into yin and yang, which is obviously from the yin and yang sect.

Could it be that the innate skills of judges come from various sects?
Then which Taoist sect does my innate skill come from?

Xu Zhiqiong was in a trance, not because he didn't concentrate on fighting, but because he didn't pay attention to Duan Shiyun at all.

Duan Shiyun greeted: "Brother, don't think about it, sign the paper and give me the crime, and we will go our separate ways."

Xu Zhiqiong said, "What if I don't sign it?"

Duan Shiyun sighed: "Why be so stubborn, even if I ask you to take away your sins, you will not be able to exchange for meritorious deeds. As long as you have my master book seal, you will not even be able to release the undead. Do not understand?"

"I understand, why didn't Suo Ming Zhong Lang dare to steal your business? Isn't it because you can't crack your master book seal? You can't get meritorious service, and you broke the rules. No one would think of bad luck on your territory."

While speaking, Xu Zhiqiong quietly channeled a stream of yang energy to slowly dissolve the yin energy on his body.

Although Duan Shiyun's talent is strong, but Xu Zhiqiong has prepared in advance, so there is naturally a way to crack it.

As long as Xu Zhiqiong is willing, he can break free at any time, but he is not in a hurry, he wants to have a good chat with Duan Shiyun.

He wanted to confirm one thing, whether Duan Shiyun was willing to plead guilty.

This is very important, if Duan Shiyun refuses to plead guilty until his death, Xu Zhiqiong will receive twice as much merit!
Duan Shiyun nodded: "Xiaosheng, you are a smart person, since you know that I am powerful, you should quickly give me your sin karma, so don't be so hard-headed.
I really don't want to be cruel to you. We judges and officials don't allow cannibalism, but I don't have to kill you. I can turn you into a cripple. Do you know what a cripple looks like?How about we try it? "

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Don't worry, Senior Duan, I'll just sign it, but I have a few things I want to ask you."

Duan Shiyun nodded: "Okay, you can ask!"

Xu Zhiqiong asked, "How did that servant die?"

"Which servant?"

It appears that more than one servant's death was related to him.

"It was the servant I sent to your pharmacy when we first met."

"Do you still need to ask? Wu Ziqing killed him! Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I sent him to your pharmacy, he is still alive."

"To be alive is to return to the light, and when the oil is exhausted, he will naturally die."

"You gave him some decoction to make him sleepy, but you didn't even apply any wound medicine, and just watched him bleed to death!"

Duan Shiyun was stunned: "How do you know? What you said is like what you saw with your own eyes!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Let's talk about whether you recognize it or not?"

"What do I recognize?" Duan Shiyun sneered, "Is that man related to me? Did he give money? Why should I treat him?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you want money, I will give it to you. He is an honest man, so you just watch him die?"

"What's wrong with the honest man? I don't want your money! I don't want to save him, so what can I do? Is there something wrong?"

"That's right, you're not wrong at all."

He doesn't recognize it.

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "How did Huang's arm get broken?"

"Wu Ziqing cut it!"

"Wu Ziqing said that he took a prescription from you, which said that the old lady's three-year lifespan will be exchanged with the flesh of a close relative. You admit it."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Duan Shiyun looked grim, "I haven't prescribed any medicine, I just showed him the ancient medical scriptures. I don't know what the medical scriptures say, and I don't know which page he read!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "You don't recognize it?"

"What do I recognize? Does this have anything to do with me?"

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "A few days ago, you prescribed another prescription for Wu Ziqing. In order to change the old lady's ten-year lifespan, you asked him to starve Miaoying to death. Do you admit it?"

"I've said it before. I haven't prescribed a prescription. I just showed him the medical scriptures again. Is there something wrong?"

Xu Zhiqiong said, "How much crime did Wu Ziqing commit for cutting off Mrs. Huang's arm?"

"How do I know that?"

"You've put so much thought into it, so you have to figure it out, right? I guess it's an inch less!"

Duan Shiyun said angrily: "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to frame me? I have nothing to do with Mrs. Huang!"

Xu Zhiqiong said again: "Wu Ziqing wants to starve Miaoying to death, so the crime has to be added an inch?"

"I said, this has nothing to do with me!"

"That servant is dead, and Wu Ziqing's criminal karma will be added. Serious injury and murder are not a crime!"

"Have you finished asking? After asking, press your handprint quickly," Duan Shiyun said with a smile, "You are used to being a lantern bearer, and you want to accuse everyone you see. You want to arrest me in the yamen, and then give me a sentence." crime?
Not to mention whether you can go back to the Yamen, even if you can go back, do you dare to arrest me?Do you dare to frame me?To put it bluntly, if I reveal your identity, will you still be alive?Don't forget that you are a judge, you are an evil way! "

"Bah!" Xu Zhiqiong spat, "You are evil, don't insult the judge's reputation!"

Duan Shiyun gritted his teeth and said: "Young man, you are too arrogant. I will leave a mark on your face first, so that you can remember and learn etiquette. I will teach you how to talk to your elders!"

He took out a sharp knife to goug Xu Zhiqiong's eyes.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the tip of the knife and waited quietly for him to come over.

The moment the tip of the knife was about to touch the eyeballs, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly disappeared.

Oops, the avatar is invisible!
Xu Zhiqiong had already broken free from the shackles, but Duan Shiyun hadn't noticed it.

Duan Shiyun quickly disappeared. If he was attacked by Xu Zhiqiong at this time, his life would definitely be lost.

He was invisible for a while later than Xu Zhiqiong, and he still had a cultivation base of the upper eighth stage, and he could maintain the invisible three-absorption time. It stands to reason that Xu Zhiqiong should show up earlier.

He was wrong, Xu Zhiqiong is at the lower level of the seventh rank, and can maintain the fifth absorption time.

When Duan Shiyun appeared, he still didn't see Xu Zhiqiong's figure. In his panic, he only saw a steel knife across his neck.

He wanted to trap Xu Zhiqiong with his innate skills, but he heard Xu Zhiqiong whispering in his ear: "Don't move, don't move at all, Duan Shiyun, I'll ask you one last time, do you know the crime by raising evil for evil?"

Duan Shiyun trembled when he heard the word "raise evil", "Don't frame me, don't slander me, how dare you touch me? Judges don't allow cannibalism, if you touch me..."

The blade cut across, and Xu Zhiqiong cut Duan Shiyun's neck.

Duan Shiyun covered his throat, struggled on the ground for a while, and lost his breath.

The body dies and the dao disappears, and the sins and karma appear, which is seven inches and six cents!

The scum!

Xu Zhiqiong picked off his crimes, first dragged the corpse aside, concentrated his mind on his dantian, and entered the small black room with the image of leaping into the clouds three times.

"Master, I killed Duan Shiyun."

After waiting for a while, a sigh came from the small black room, and the Taoist priest woke up.

"Did he plead guilty before dying?"

"I didn't admit it. My disciple asked many times, but I didn't admit it even once."

"Injustice!" Daochang sighed, "Take your sins to Yilangyuan."

"Yilangyuan? Shouldn't you go to that Cao Yilang?"

The Taoist priest frowned: "What's wrong with Cao Zhongjie? Among the seventh rank, he can be considered talented, why do you still look down on him?"

talented?An old talent over a hundred years old?
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I don't despise Cao Yilang, it's just that Cao Yilang is old and I don't want to disturb his tranquility."

"Cao Zhongjie is a little lazy, but he has a good character. You just take the crime with you. If he decides right and wrong, you can come to me again."
