Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 132 I Know You Are Having an Affair

It took Xue a long time to teach Xu Zhiqiong the sword technique.

The sword technique is not difficult, there are only eight moves in total, all of which are the basis of chopping, chopping, wiping, and stabbing.

Being able to learn and using are two different things, his knife technique is very proficient.

"Brother Ma, take your time to study the saber technique. Recently, the miasma has become a bit thick. Take care! When you meet others in the future, don't mention Xue's name. Xue will leave!"

Xue Yun left, Xu Zhiqiong didn't dare to ask more questions.

He is definitely not an eighth-rank judge, he is an unfathomable powerhouse.

For such a strong man, it is best not to ask about things he is unwilling to say, as long as he knows that he has no malicious intentions.

For several days in a row, Xu Zhiqiong concentrated on practicing swords in Yilangyuan. On this day, when he was practicing, he suddenly heard Yang Wu shout: "There is an extra document on your desk!"

Xu Zhiqiong put away the knife, and found that there was not only a written document on the table, but also a crime karma, more than seven inches long, but Yang Wu couldn't see it.

Xu Zhiqiong picked up the paper and looked at it, it said: I will transfer Tian Jinping's crimes to Xu Zhiqiong, a seventh-rank judge.

There is no signature at the end, only a fingerprint.

This was left to Xu Zhiqiong by Xue Yun. Xu Zhiqiong's nose is very sharp. According to the written evidence, he could smell a unique coldness.

Tian Jinping is dead?
Yes, dead.

From Yushitai's impeachment of Tian Jinping, all eyes were on the Ministry of Punishment, but the Ministry of Officials was ignored.

The action of the Ministry of Officials was also very fast. Wu Jingchun's memorial to impeach Tian Jinping was handed over to the Ministry of Officials. The Ministry of Officials completed the review on the same day and reported it to Emperor Zhaoxing.

On the second day after Zhou Kairong reversed the case, Tian Jinping received the imperial decree and was dismissed from office by Emperor Zhaoxing and demoted to a commoner.

Zheng Jinzhong, the censor of the Zuoqian capital, Meng Yingjie, a member of the criminal department, and Guo Yucheng, the prime minister of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple, came to Shanxun County together with the imperial decree to thoroughly investigate all the previous reports by the Yushitai.

It is not difficult to check a county magistrate, as long as the other party is unprepared, there is almost no possibility of missing.

More than [-] taels of silver were found in the magistrate's mansion, and more than [-] taels of silver were found in the outer house. During the investigation, Tian Jinping fell ill and died.

At a critical moment, Tian Jinping's housekeeper returned from the capital city and sent Tian Jinping an important message from the Ministry of Punishment.

Tian Jinping saw hope. Although he was under house arrest, Tian Jinping spent some money to let the housekeeper meet him alone.

After the meeting, the housekeeper told Tian Jinping the important news:

"One of the officials in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs said that Yushitai read your copy, and that Guan Xicheng's case will probably be sent back for retrial!"

This is the important message from the steward.

"I'm afraid I have to repeat it?" Zhixian looked at the housekeeper desperately, "Do you know that the retrial is over?"

The butler replied: "I know."

The magistrate grabbed the housekeeper's hair: "Now that you know, what's the use of telling me?"

The butler said with a mournful face: "Master, I waited for four days in the capital to inquire about the news, and ran back when I received the news, but I didn't expect that when I ran back, I heard that the trial of this case was over, and you were also locked up." ..."

The efficiency of the housekeeper really cannot be compared with the imperial court's urgent report.

But who would have thought that the time difference would be so fatal.

Tian Jinping gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter whether it's indiscriminate or not, a memorandum will punish me, you, you are..."

Cut off the last ray of hope, Tian Jinping died.

……

Onmyo Division, the tragic sound continued.

Tai Bu is torturing Tao Huayuan.

Don't use sticks and whips, that's too vulgar.

Tai Bu trapped Tao Huayuan in the magic circle, repeatedly struck by lightning.

Tao Huayuan, who had been struck by lightning five times, was limp on the ground, with green smoke billowing from her body, and her long hair was scorched.

"Master, I am wronged..."

"How dare you say you're wronged! With your cultivation, how could you be injured by Xu Zhiqiong? You even brought out a long-extinct famous master to lie to me!"

"The disciple dare not deceive the master."

"To be honest, how long have you had an affair with Xu Zhiqiong?"

"The disciple has no personal relationship with him!"

"How dare you lie!"

"The disciple didn't deny it, Xu Zhiqiong is a eunuch, how could the disciple have an affair with him!"

Tai Bu said angrily: "How do you know that Xu Zhiqiong is a eunuch, have you seen it?"

"I didn't..." This matter is not clear, Tao Huayuan speculates that Xu Zhiqiong is an eunuch based on the fact that Xu Zhiqiong shot too fast, but there is no real evidence.

Tai Bu said: "What else do you have to say?"

"Disciple is complete!" Tao Huayuan went all out, "Master can check, but disciple has never had one!"

Complete?

Tai Bu blinked.

Could it be that Tao Huayuan was wronged?

Not necessarily!

"Even if you are perfect, you can still have personal affairs."

Tao Huayuan said with red eyes: "Master, this disciple is dull, please teach me, when the disciple is perfect, where does the affair come from!"

Tai Bu pursed his lips and said, "There are other methods elsewhere."

Tao Huayuan sat in the magic circle and said, "Which other place is it? What methods are there? The master said it! Let the disciples also learn a lot!"

"Presumptuous!" Tai Bu was furious, and questioned, "Xu Zhiqiong's yin and yang aura is so similar to yours, but how do you say this!"

He had heard Xu Zhiqiong's yin and yang aura, and it was indeed very similar to Tao Huayuan's, which proved that Tao Huayuan helped Xu Zhiqiong enter it.

Tao Huayuan shook her head again and again and said, "Master, I don't know about this matter, this disciple really doesn't know!"

"You're not honest!" Tai Bu frowned, and said earnestly, "You have followed me since childhood, for eighteen years, and you are twenty-three years old this year, right?"

Tao Huayuan nodded with an aggrieved face.

Tai Budao: "Xu Zhiqiong is nearly twenty years old, you are three years apart, and your ages are just right for each other. Now that you are husband and wife, I will be a matchmaker and just marry you to him. Why do you have to lie to me? "

This was Tai Bu's tactic, so Tao Huayuan would not fall for it, not to mention she didn't like Xu Zhiqiong either.

"Master, this disciple and Xu Zhiqiong are inseparable! This disciple has never had any contact with him in the palace!"

Tai Bu yelled angrily: "Zhuzi can't be taught!"

A thunderbolt was about to fall again, Tao Huayuan was so frightened that her face paled: "Master, I can't do it, I can't do it, that, that, that astrology disk moved, moved!"

Tai Bu put Lei Ting away, and looked back at the astrology disk.

This is the small astrological disk, which is connected to the large astrological disk at the top of the Yin Yang Division.

On the top floor of the Yin Yang Division, there is a pool in which the huge astrological disk is immersed.

The positions of tens of thousands of important stars are marked on the disk. If there is a deviation between the astrology disk's star positions and the reflection in the pool water, it proves that there is a change in the stars. .

The small astrology disk really moved, and the astrology is different!
"As I expected, what was supposed to come still came."

Taibo first determines which star is changing.

Tao Huayuan took the opportunity to break free from the magic circle, and slowly crawled towards the door.

After confirming the stars, Taibu confirms the trajectory of the stars.

Tao Huayuan crawled to the door.

After confirming the trajectory, Tai Bu began to speculate on the next move of the stars.

Tao Huayuan opened the door.

"It really is the capital city!" Tai Bu confirmed Xing Chen's next move, he let out a long sigh, and a piece of thunder fell at the door.

Tao Huayuan turned over and fell down, breathing smoke from her mouth: "So ruthless, so ruthless..."

A gust of wind supported Tao Huayuan and sent her to Tai Bu.

Tai Bu looked down at Tao Huayuan and said, "Since you have an affair with Xu Zhiqiong..."

"Disciple, really not!"

Tai Bu shook his head: "No, you have to have it if you don't have it!"

Do you have to have it?
Tao Huayuan looked at Tai Bu inexplicably, she didn't understand what Master meant.

Tai Bu went on to say: "You can take advantage of this friendship and use your tricks to catch Xu Zhiqiong to the Yin Yang Division, do you understand?"

Tao Huayuan's breath was weak: "Since the master has ordered, I will just tie him up. I really have nothing with him..."

Tai Bu shook his head and said: "Don't tie him up, don't hurt him, within three days he must be willing to come to Yin Yang Division."

Tao Huayuan widened her eyes and said, "How can this be to arrest him? He is clearly invited!"

Tai Bu shrugged his eyebrows: "That's why it's okay."

Tao Huayuan resented and remained silent, Tai Bu said again: "I will ask He Fang to monitor you, don't act recklessly!"

Want to spy on me?Does this guy hold more weight in Tai Bu's heart than me!

"Master, the identity of the disciple must not be known to others!"

Tai Bu said: "It's okay for He Fang, she will enter the palace soon, and I will take care of you in the future!"

"Master, I don't dare to leave the palace for too long, I'm afraid the sixth princess will suspect it, so you should find someone else."

Tai Bu shook his head: "It's someone else, but I'm afraid I won't be able to invite him. Xu Zhiqiong is too wary. After all, you two have a very different relationship."

"Master, I have nothing to do with him!"

Tai Bu said: "Go back to the palace and report to the sixth princess as I said, she will let you out of the palace!"

Tao Huayuan looked at Tai Bu helplessly: "Master, who do you think I am?"

Tai Bu looked kindly: "Take you as my own flesh and blood."

Tao Huayuan said angrily: "If it's my own flesh and blood, how can I take risks for a mediocre Xu Zhiqiong?"

"A mediocre person? He is not mediocre," Tai Bu smiled, "If you were really my own, I would have married you to him long ago, no loss, really no loss!"

"Who the hell is Xu Zhiqiong that Master values ​​so much?"

"If you can invite him, it's not too late to tell you. If you can't invite him, don't mention me to him, and don't reveal your identity."

Tao Huayuan felt bad, she was Taibo's most valued disciple, she was reprimanded by Taibo for trying to kill Xu Zhiqiong last time, and now she wants to fight herself and invite Xu Zhiqiong here.

Is this to take him as an apprentice?Do you want him to replace you?
"It doesn't matter if the master doesn't say anything, but there is one thing, I hope to tell the disciples, what is the use of the master letting Xu Zhiqiong come to the Onmyoji Division?"

Tai Bu squinted his eyes at Tao Huayuan, and thought to himself: This is because he is worried about Xu Zhiqiong's safety, the two of you really have an affair.

Tai Bu said: "Don't worry, I won't hurt him, I just want to use him to attract Wu Xu and help me get rid of the evil stars."

"Evil star?" Tao Huayuan was shocked.

Tai Bu sighed: "The capital will be in great trouble, only Wu Xu can help me."

Tao Huayuan was in a good mood, Master was willing to tell her about the evil star, which showed that her position in Master's heart had not changed.

But Tao Huayuan still has doubts: "Wu Xu is a member of the Imperial City Department, and it is his duty to guard the Imperial City. Do you still need to ask him?"

Tai Bu looked at Tao Huayuan: "How long has it been since you left the palace?"

"Recently, I have been thinking behind closed doors with the princess."

Tai Budao: "Wu Xu has already taken up the post of the Ministry of Rites. Today's Imperial City Secretary, except for Zhong Shen, is useless, but Zhong Shen..."

While speaking, Tai Bu sighed repeatedly.

Tao Huayuan asked again: "Why is Wu Xu willing to act for Xu Zhiqiong?"

Tai Bu sighed: "Wu Xu owes him something, I will tell you about it later."

……

Tao Huayuan returned to Yuyao Palace and returned to the sixth princess Liang Yuyao.

Liang Yuyao asked: "How is the situation outside the palace?"

The sixth princess had bumped into the prince before, and then something happened to Wu Ziqing. The princess worried that her followers would be suppressed and ordered them to act cautiously.

Tao Huayuan reported: "The staff of the various departments live in seclusion and seldom communicate with outsiders. The Cabinet Secretary Peng is sick at home and has not gone out for two months."

Liang Yuyao laughed and said, "Among all these people, Peng Yanzong is the most experienced."

Tao Huayuan said again: "There is only one person who is a bit special. The supervisory censor Zhang Zhuyang has had a lot of banquets recently."

The sixth princess smiled: "This fellow has defeated a county magistrate. He has just been promoted to serve as a censor and has become a sixth-rank official. It is inevitable that there will be more entertainment. How do you know?"

Tao Huayuan said: "I heard that recently he has a lot of contacts with the cabinet scholar Tang."

This sentence was said by Tao Huayuan, the teacher of Taibo.

"Tang Xiaohui?" The sixth princess raised her sword eyebrows. Tang Xiaohui was one of the few people in the court who firmly supported the crown prince's succession.

After a moment of silence, the sixth princess sneered: "I haven't seen you for a few days, this guy has grown up, I think it's because I'm not doing well, and I'm going to climb another branch, Tao Huayuan, you go out of the palace for a few days, and see what he has with Tang Xiaohui It's fine if it's just an ordinary entertainment, if he dares to eat inside and out, you can bring me his head!"

This is Tai Bu's plan, Tao Huayuan can leave the palace smoothly.

Before leaving, the princess warned: "Last time, you messed up. If you mess up again this time, be careful that I will peel your skin!"
