Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 130 County Lord, Are You Knocking?
Early in the morning, Xue Yun woke up, and Xu Zhiqiong gave him a gold ingot.

Xue Yun weighed the weight: "Where did this come from?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "It's from Tianzhi County."

"Will he kindly send you off?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The magistrate of Tian County is generous, there are plenty of these things in his house."

Xue Yun sighed: "This is what I have earned through so many years of hard work and mud."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll thank the county magistrate for you."

The two ate something in the restaurant, and Xu Zhiqiong gave Xue Yun a dried flower.

This dried flower was made by Xu Zhiqiong imitating Qin Changmao's toothbrush, and it can tell the danger.

Xue Yun looked embarrassed: "Why did you give me this? This is, you can't give it away."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I don't want to send you off either, but I only know this right now. I have left a mark on Guan Xicheng. These days, it is inevitable that Tianzhi County will have the idea of ​​killing people and killing people. If Guan Xicheng is in danger, the dried flowers will bloom. Then you go to Yilangyuan to find me, and I will try to save him."

Xue Yun said in astonishment: "You can also use strange arts, this is really powerful, can the seventh-rank Yilang know this?"

"You'll know when you've reached the seventh rank. You should be more careful these days. Remember to go to Yilangyuan every three days."

……

Xu Zhiqiong returned to Yilang Courtyard and saw Yang Wu sitting in the courtyard with a worried expression.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Yang Wu shook his head and said, "The paper figurine you bought for me only has a skeleton, and not a single piece of paper left on its body."

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe it was because of the strong wind last night."

"Last night, the wind was not strong, but the fog was heavy!" Yang Wu looked at Xu Zhiqiong, "Xue Yun came here last night."

Xu Zhiqiong was startled, he thought Xue Yun slept soundly in the inn last night.

"What is he doing?"

"He said Shanxun County was cold, and he came to get you clothes. I said there were no clothes here, so he left."

Xue Yun was a strange person, and Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see through him.

At first I thought he was a brash young man.

It was later discovered that he was not reckless in doing things, and he was very measured.

Just like Guan Xicheng's case, Xue Yun provided a lot of help, but never interfered with Xu Zhiqiong's decision.

This person always seemed to come with a certain purpose, but Xu Zhiqiong couldn't think of his purpose.

One thing can be confirmed, he didn't come to trouble Yang Wu last night.

But what happened to the paper man?

He said the wind was strong because he was afraid that he would frighten Yang Wu, no matter how strong the wind was, he was not so clever, leaving the skeleton and peeling off the paper.

Xue Yun may know something inside...

In the morning, Xu Zhiqiong went to Tsing Yi Pavilion to visit the elder sister.

Most of the senior sister's bandages were removed, and she was looking in the mirror to see if there were any scars on her face. Xu Zhiqiong pointed out: "There has just been a scab here, be careful when you sleep, don't scratch it."

"It can't be helped, how careful you are when you sleep..." Yu Chilan raised her head suddenly, stared at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to visit my sister."

"When did you come in?"

"I've been hiding under the bed all night."

"Really?" Yu Chilan's face flushed red.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you, why is your face so red? Do you want to make it easier? I'll get you a basin."

"Fuck off!"

"Senior Sister, just now a Tsing Yi came to change your medicine, I left the medicine, I will change it for you."

"Tell you to die, don't touch me!"

"Senior Sister was hurt because of me, I should take care of Senior Sister."

"If you don't leave, I'll call someone!"

"Senior sister, you are so strong!"

……

Half an hour later, Xu Zhiqiong changed the medicine for the senior sister and fed the senior sister lychees.

After peeling the shell, put the pulp into the mouth of the senior sister, and wait for the senior sister to spit out the core.

Senior sister blushed, ate a catty of lychees, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "You want me to do something?"

"Senior sister, I really love you!"

"Bah! Tell me as soon as possible. If I can't help you, don't wait on me here. I can't afford it."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled innocently: "If there is something to say, there is really a little bit. Do you still remember someone?"

Xu Zhiqiong and his senior sister whispered a few words.

The senior sister was stunned: "Hasn't this person been dealt with?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "This time, I'm the one who asked him. Come, Senior Sister, have another lychee."

The senior sister shook her head again and again, as if she had something to say, "I can't eat it, there is too much lychee water!"

"What are you afraid of, I brought all the pots!"

……

In the afternoon, the twin candles were lit, and Xu Zhiqiong hurried back to Yilangyuan.

Xue Yun is here, and Guan Xicheng is in danger.

"The magistrate of Tian has been interrogating Guan Xicheng early in the morning. Guan Xicheng can't tell us who we are, and we are just waiting for the magistrate to be tortured."

Xu Zhiqiong had expected this step a long time ago, and asked, "How is the Tianzhi family's conduct?"

……

In Shanxun County, Tian Jinping, the county magistrate, is interrogating Guan Xicheng.

"Your death is approaching, and this county doesn't want to embarrass you, but you colluded with litigants to tarnish my reputation and ruin my rule of peace. I can't forgive you. I'll ask you again, what are the names of those two litigants? , where are you from, do you say it or not?"

Guan Xicheng shook his head and said, "My lord, Xiaomin really doesn't recognize those two people, they just say they are lawyers who came to avenge my grievances."

"Do you think you were wronged? Tell me where in this county did you wronged?"

"Sir, I..."

As soon as Guan Xicheng opened his mouth, the magistrate of Tian County smiled: "So you admitted it. You admitted that you colluded with lawsuits and provoked troubles. This county will punish you with a higher crime. If you truthfully recruit, this county can forgive you. Don't blame the law for being ruthless if you are stubborn."

Guan Xicheng looked terrified: "My lord, I really don't know, I really don't know..."

Tian Zhixian looked majestic, and shouted: "Use torture!"

The Yacha put Guan Xicheng on the rack and tied him up, and started beating him with a whip. After more than a hundred lashes, Guan Xicheng's skin was torn to pieces.

Tian Jinping walked up to Guan Xicheng and said with a sneer, "Why should a dying person suffer so much? Do you really think that the reputation of this county can be ruined with just two lawsuits?"

Guan Xicheng lowered his head and remained silent.

Tian Jinping shouted: "You say you don't say it!"

Guan Xicheng was still speechless.

Tian Jinping ordered to continue the torture. The jailer threw away the whip and changed the stick. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard the steward report that something happened in the house.

Tian Jinping ordered Guan Xicheng to be taken back to the prison, and hurried back to the mansion.

Entering the East Wing, I saw the eldest son Tian Wensong lying on the bed with bruised skin and bruises from head to toe.

"Son, what's going on!" Tian Jinping and the others burst into tears.

Tian Wensong panted, "I was drinking tea in the tea house in the afternoon, and went to the latrine, but was arrested by two strong men. The strong men covered their faces and didn't see their faces, but asked my boy who they were. My boy really didn't recognize them. They beat the children to death."

"Bastard, what a beast did!" Tian Jinping was trembling with anger, "My son has a long body, they can do such a thing!"

Tian Wensong said: "Those two strong men have a letter in my shirt."

Tian Jinping opened the letter and glanced at it.

There are only three lines in the letter:
Magistrate:

Heal Guan Xicheng,

Kowtow three times to Guan Xicheng,
Break your forehead.

"Rampant! Extremely rampant!" Tian Jinping asked the housekeeper to put away the letter, "This is the physical evidence that Guan Xicheng colluded with the villains and threatened the county!"

Just as the butler was about to put away the letter, the letter suddenly caught fire, burning the butler's hands. Shanxun County is no better than the capital city. There are not so many practitioners here, especially those who are strictly controlled by the Onmyoji Department.

Tian Zhixian had never seen Yin Yang technique much, so he broke out in a cold sweat.

However, he has been the county magistrate for more than [-] years, and he has seen many battles. After a moment of tension, he calmed down.

He first called the doctor to treat the eldest son's wounds, then straightened his official robes, calmed down, and prepared to go to the prison for trial.

Guan Xicheng, I have to pry your mouth open today. In my county, how can I allow you to wait for the evil people to act violently!

The butler reminded behind him: "The four young masters are not at the house."

Tian Jinping tidied up his official robes, returned to the mansion calmly, and ordered someone to find the other four sons first.

Of the four sons, one is in Goulan, two are in the Cuju field, and one is in the chess club.

Not long after, Tian Wenzhu, the second son of Goulan, came back, and was carried by two messengers, covered in blood and blood. Tian Zhixian gritted his teeth and asked, but just as Tian Wensong said, he was also beaten by two strong men.

There was still a piece of paper pasted on Tian Wenzhu's belly, with only five words written on it: "Are you knocking or not?"

Hetian Zhixian's sentence, "You say you don't say it!" The tone is surprisingly consistent.

Tian Jinping was dumbfounded. He had been a magistrate for more than [-] years and had never encountered such a thing.

Where did the thugs come from, dare to attack one of the parents!

Rebellion won't work, rebellion won't work...

Tian Jinping clutched his chest, coughed and panted for a while, and gradually recovered.

The housekeeper reminded: "The three young masters haven't been found yet!"

Tian Jinping looked calm, after all, he has gone through the storm.

He walked towards the prison calmly and indifferently, and called the doctor to treat Guan Xicheng's injuries.

After the simple treatment by the doctors, Tian Jinping wanted to pay all the jailers and doctors.

But the doctor and the jailer walked around the prison several times and couldn't get out.

This is how to do?
You can't kowtow to Guan Xicheng in front of them!

Tian Jinping wanted to go back to the mansion first, but he couldn't get out of the cell.

This is the magic circle!The magic circle of yin and yang!
Tian Jinping finally made a distinction. He remembered that a strange person came from the county town, who knew some yin and yang skills.

This person is called Wei Xingfan, known as Doctor Wei, if he is called here, he should be able to break the sorcery of these monsters.

While thinking about it, the housekeeper came to report: "The fourth son is back, and he was beaten beyond human shape."

Once the butler came in, he couldn't get out, and there was another audience.

Tian Zhixian nodded when he heard the words, after going through the wind and waves, his demeanor is different.

He turned around and calmly knelt in front of Guan Xicheng, bang bang bang!He knocked his head three times.

After knocking, he raised his head and asked, "Did you see any blood?"

None of the housekeepers, jailers, and doctors, including the injured Guan Xicheng, made a sound. They couldn't believe it was true.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tian Jinping kowtowed again, this time he kowtowed so hard that his forehead bled.

Seeing blood, the yin-yang magic circle was untied, and everyone could leave.

But before leaving, the magistrate had to give everyone a reasonable explanation.

What he did just now was beyond the understanding of everyone present.

Tian Jinping got up calmly, and said to Guan Xicheng: "As a parent and official, this county regards the people of the county as their own flesh and blood. Seeing you suffer, my heart hurts, so I only kneel down now, just to kill you and me." After kneeling down, the bond of flesh and blood is gone, and the county will owe you nothing in the future."

Holding the hidden mirror, Xu Zhiqiong stared at this scene dumbfounded.

Is this the highest level of harmony?

Tian Jinping said he was a parent officer.

He said Guan Xicheng was his own flesh and blood.

Then he knelt down to his own flesh and blood.

Then they severed ties...

Every word he said was talking about Jill, but when he said it together, it really made sense.

I have to remember this!
Xu Zhiqiong was looking for pens and ink, while Xue Yun signaled that it was time to leave.

The two quietly left the prison and broke free from the state of invisibility. Xue Yun let out a long breath and said, "Does it take such a lot of effort? Isn't it over if we just rescue Guan Xicheng?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "If a person wants to be rescued, he won't become a fugitive? Can he still hold his head up in this life? He must be cleared, let him live, and live in a decent way."

Xue Yun smiled and said, "I really admire you for putting in so much effort without merit."

Xu Zhiqiong also smiled: "I admire you too, this strength is all due to you."

Xu Zhiqiong really admired Xue Yun.

With Xu Zhiqiong as a seventh-rank judge, can a county magistrate be forced to such a degree?

Maybe, but it's hard!Xu Zhiqiong needs to devote a lot of time and energy to the layout.

But with Xue Yun's help, it's not difficult at all.

He knew where each of Tian Jinping's sons was, and he could arrest them at any time.

Xu Zhiqiong was convinced that he had no such ability, and he was also convinced that Xue Yun was not an eighth-rank judge.

Xue Yun asked Xu Zhiqiong: "I still can't figure out one thing. What method do you want to use to reverse Guan Xicheng's case? Are you really going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to sue?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "How do I sue the Ministry of Criminal Justice? In a murder case, the real culprit has already been arrested, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice is too lazy to take a look. What does the death of Guan Xicheng have to do with them? Don't you just settle the matter and let it go?" "

"Then you plan to file a complaint with Mr. Liang's family?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "The Ministry of Punishment is too lazy to take care of it. Is Liang Daguan's family willing to take care of it? Let's get along with each other."

Xue Yun said: "No one wants to take care of it, how can you reverse the case?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "There are people who are willing to take care of it, and the imperial court still has a group of upright people!"

……

In the private room of Fengle Building, Zhang Zhuyang, the seventh-rank supervisor of Yushitai, looked at Xu Zhiqiong silently.

They are also acquaintances. On the Wang'an River before, Su Youxian, the head of the Ministry of Industry, gave Zhang Zhuyang a painting boat and two beauties, but was caught by Xu Zhiqiong.

Now, Zheng Jikun, the head of the household department, gave Zhang Zhuyang a few acres of land, but Xu Zhiqiong caught him again.

Holding the title deed, Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, why are you so careless?"

Zhang Zhuyang stared at Xu Zhiqiong and narrowed his eyes: "Xu Denglang, there are thousands of officials in the capital, but you like me?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "I came to Brother Zhang this time to discuss something important."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhuyang dismissed no one.

Xu Zhiqiong mobilized the yin and yang qi, and set up a magic circle in the private room.

There were only two people left in the private room, and ordinary people couldn't hear the sound outside. Xu Zhiqiong asked, "Tian Jinping, the magistrate of Shanxun County, Brother Zhang, have you heard of this person?"

Zhang Zhuyang nodded and said: "The old county magistrate who has worked for thirty-two years."

"Brother Zhang even knows this?"

Zhang Zhuyang smiled: "If you don't even know these things, Yushi's bowl of rice will not taste good."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and asked, "Brother Zhang, can you defeat him?"

Zhang Zhuyang thought for a moment: "That depends on whether you have any real evidence."

Xu Zhiqiong handed over the complaint and testimony to Zhang Zhuyang. After reading it, Zhang Zhuyang said to Xu Zhiqiong, "This matter can be done. Tian Jinping has no foundation. If he has foundation, he doesn't need to be a county magistrate for more than [-] years. With this pleading paper and These testimonies are enough to remove his hat, but I have to ask one thing clearly, why did you bring him down?"

Xu Zhiqiong laughed and said, "This guy has had a personal grudge against me since he was born."

Zhang Zhuyang was taken aback: "Tian Jinping is almost sixty years old. When he was born, there was no Xu Denglang, right?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I hated him from my mother's womb!"

"Okay, I'll help you with this, this title deed..."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "As long as this guy falls down and the land deed is returned to you, I'll pretend I haven't seen it."

Zhang Zhuyang raised his glass and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"
