Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 204 Xu Zhiqiong likes Dragon's Fury Club the most
Xu Zhiqiong's lantern was placed on Jiao Zimu's head. The lantern was filled with Niu Yuxian's special kerosene, and only a little bit of it stuck to his body. Jiao Zimu started burning from the beginning, and his whole body burned into a ball of fire in an instant.

This kind of kerosene ignites quickly, but its firepower is a little weaker. With a physique like Jiao Zimu's, it takes one meal for him to go from igniting the fire to being fully cooked.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Zhiqiong chatted with two other Confucian scholars.

These two Confucian scholars are very talkative, but they are too unruly and too loud when they talk.

A Confucian scholar shouted at Xu Zhiqiong: "How dare you touch us? How dare you touch us? Do you know who we are?"

Xu Zhiqiong said sincerely: "I haven't asked for advice yet, who are you two?"

"You don't know who we are and dare to touch us? Do you know who my master is? Do you know which club I belong to? You know..."

puff!
Xu Zhiqiong chopped off his head, cleared his karma, turned to the remaining Confucian scholar and said, "This man is too hard to talk, so I asked him who he is, but he didn't make it clear after a lot of talking, you can help him." Say, speak quickly, who are you!"

"Who are you!" Confucian scholar's face was deformed, and he cried out while stepping back.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled as he walked, "My name is Xu Zhiqiong, the vault of the sky."

The Confucian scholar cried, "Who are you?"

"Didn't you tell me already, my name is Xu Zhiqiong."

"You kill people in the street, there is no king's law, who are you? You report your name..."

Xu Zhiqiong kicked the Confucian scholar's mouth, and blocked his mouth with the sole of his shoe: "You, don't you understand human speech? I just said it, my name is Xu Zhiqiong, how many times do you have to ask?" ?”

Confucian scholars dare not ask any more.

"Tell your classmates over there that I, Xu Zhiqiong, killed them, so please take the word with you."

The Confucian scholar nodded: "I must bring it!"

"Okay, let's go." Xu Zhiqiong raised the lantern.

The Confucian scholar cried: "Didn't you ask me to give a message to my classmates?"

"You didn't understand. It's too hard to talk to you. I mean the classmates over there, the underworld!"

puff!
Xu Zhiqiong chopped off another head.

After killing these two Confucian scholars, Jiao Zimu was almost cooked.

Xu Zhiqiong collected his sin karma, and the three of them together could exchange for more than a hundred golden beans.

It takes [-] beans to advance to the first stage, and there is a long way to go.

Xu Zhiqiong sighed, closed his horns, and looked back at Lu Yanyou who looked sad.

"Brother Lu, what's the matter? Why is your face so ugly?" Xu Zhiqiong walked to the corner and asked a special question.

Lu Yanyou snorted coldly: "What do you think?"

"Ashamed, I knew you were ashamed. There is nothing you can do about such a big incident on your territory. Don't say that brother speaks frankly, I really blush for you!"

"Bah!" Lu Yanyou looked angry, "I can tell you clearly, these three sins have my master's seal on them, this is my territory, this is my people!"

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hand and said, "Aren't we two brothers? Brother Lu, why are you being polite to me? I'll just do you a little favor. This is what brothers should do. Don't say anything, just say it." See you!"

Lu Yanyou's face turned blue with anger, Xu Zhiqiong looked at the dying girl on the ground, and said to Lu Yanyou: "Brother Lu, take this man to your tea house."

"What are you taking it for?"

"Isn't it great to be a doctor of tea?"

"I don't like this kind of beauty."

"Then do something else. This girl has less than an inch of crime. She is a good person. She was almost beaten to death on your territory. I really blush for you about this."

Lu Yanyou frowned and said, "Do you understand the rules? I'm different from you!"

There are some things that cannot be said in front of outsiders. He is reminding Xu Zhiqiong that he is an eighth-rank judge and cannot kill with his own hands.

"Brother Lu, you still haven't learned the rules thoroughly!"

If Lu Yanyou personally killed these three Confucian scholars in order to save this girl, as long as he goes to Yilangyuan to inform him, he will definitely get a pardon, or even a reward.

But no one is willing to take this risk, and no one is willing to make this trouble for a stranger.

Xu Zhiqiong squatted beside the girl, took out two taels of silver, and stuffed it in the girl's hand: "You take this money, go to Zhukukulou Tea House to drink tea every day, eat their food, live in their house, whoever takes your money , you just show them the money and say that Xu Zhiqiong gave it to you, if they dare to accept it, you can go to the Lantern Yamen to ask me for it..."

Lu Yanyou smiled wryly: "Forget it, forget it, I really trust you, I want this girl, and let's recuperate at my place first."

After saying that, Lu Yanyou picked up the girl and disappeared into the night.

Cheng Qiaoqi hadn't left yet, he could have left a long time ago, but Xu Zhiqiong saved his life and even killed someone for him, so he couldn't just leave like this.

"Engong, I don't know how to thank you. You leave this place quickly. I will send some food to the family and surrender to the government. This incident happened because of me, so I must not implicate Engong."

"You've already arrived at the government's office," Xu Zhiqiong shook the lantern, "This is the courtroom in charge of the yamen. These people committed crimes in the street and have been executed. Why do you go to court?"

Cheng Qiaoqi looked at Xu Zhiqiong's lantern, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really the lantern bearer?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "In the future, if Confucian scholars bully you, you will set them on fire. After burning them, you will run to the Lantern Yamen and tell the gatekeeper that you are a relative of Xu Zhiqiong's family. Do you remember?"

Cheng Qiaoqi always felt that Xu Zhiqiong's name was familiar, but couldn't remember where he heard it.

Xu Zhiqiong asked Cheng Qiaoqi to go home quickly, and he continued to watch the night with a lantern.

As for the three corpses, just let them hang out and wait to see how the Dragon Nu Society responds.

There was an old man selling flowers in front of him. Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to pick out a high-quality dried flower, and was going to send it to Xia Hu, but he heard that the old man asked for five taels of silver.

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Why are you crazy?"

"Is it expensive?" The old man looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "It's also my first day selling flowers, and I think it's quite interesting. How much do you think is suitable?"

From the appearance alone, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see any flaws, but the voice was somewhat familiar.

"Second brother, no matter how bad the days of Canglong Palace are, you don't have to come out and sell them!"

"Selling flowers!" The old man was pretended by Liang Jixiong, "Not to mention, this business is quite interesting."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Jixiong immobilized Xu Zhiqiong with a reckless move, took a rope, tied Xu Zhiqiong, stuffed it into a bamboo basket three times, picked up the burden, and walked into a private house.

After entering the residence, Liang Jixiong picked up the bamboo basket and went into the back room, and said to the prince, "I'm here."

The prince was stunned: "Where is the person?"

Liang Jixiong said, "The man is in the basket."

The prince said angrily: "What is this, let it out quickly!"

Liang Jixiong let Xu Zhiqiong out, and the prince hurried forward to untie the rope, Xu Zhiqiong said in astonishment: "Your Highness, why did you leave the palace? What are you going to do?"

"Your Highness is leaving the palace for the sake of the Zhuque Palace." Liang Jixiong told the whole story, "Your Majesty did not give Yu Xianguo any weapons, and the Zhuque Palace in the capital left six hundred cultivators that day. The prince and I wanted to raise a batch of them." Ordnance, deal with the matter first, but I didn't think about it..."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I didn't think so, Liang Daguan's family not only didn't agree, they almost punished you."

Liang Jixiong nodded and said, "This plan won't work. I've been thinking about it all day and night, and I've come up with another plan, but I need to discuss this matter with you."

Xu Zhiqiong said, "What's the plan?"

Liang Jixiong was stunned: "The plan is, we must discuss this matter with you, and then I will tie you up!"

"Is this a trick? Just say let me figure out a way," Xu Zhiqiong snorted, "Since you want me to figure out a way, at least invite me here, why are you kidnapping me?"

Liang Jixiong said: "If the old man is alone, I would invite you to the Canglong Hall, but His Royal Highness wants to avoid suspicion."

"His Royal Highness has been implicated again," Xu Zhiqiong sighed, "Second brother, I didn't blame you, you acted recklessly."

The prince nodded beside him and said: "Second brother, you are really reckless in doing this."

Liang Jixiong raised his eyes, looked at the prince and said, "Second brother is also your name?"

The prince pointed at Xu Zhiqiong: "We are brothers."

Liang Jixiong looked at the prince: "I am your ancestor!"

Xu Zhiqiong coughed: "Let's get down to business first. You want to send arms to Yu Xian. Why don't you ask someone else to bring this up? You have to bring it up yourself? Don't you know that Liang's family hates you?"

The prince snorted and said, "If the second elder brother doesn't talk about such things, who else would dare to talk about them?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Why don't you dare to say it?"

Liang Jixiong sighed: "Isn't this against the emperor's original intention?"

"There are so many things that go against his original intention! What does the censor of the Yushitai do? Will Wang Yanyang and those people with bones speak for you?"

The crown prince didn't make a sound, Liang Jixiong thought for a while and said: "The matter of giving Yu Xian weapons is indeed a bit..."

Xu Zhiqiong took up the conversation: "It's really embarrassing. Armaments are so precious, and giving them to other countries is a shameful thing in the eyes of ordinary people. No one will follow up on embarrassing things."

The prince's cheek twitched: "For the sake of Xuanren's full stomach, it's a shame to be ashamed, and I don't care."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you want Xuan people to eat well, you need to keep Suzaku cultivators. This is different from sending weapons to Yu Xianguo."

Liang Jixiong frowned and said, "What's wrong with what I said before? I didn't tell you. Yu Xian's emissary, Mo Chi, asked us to give us a batch of military equipment. The emperor refused to agree, so he ordered the Suzaku cultivator to return to the country. What's the matter?" Could it be two different things?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "You said that more than [-] Suzaku cultivators left on the first day, how many left on the second day?"

Liang Jixiong waved his hand: "How can I remember this?"

The prince said: "I remember that more than a hundred people left the next day."

"What about the third day?"

"Dozens of people."

"What about the fourth day?"

"It seems that there are less than ten people..."

Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask further questions: "If I'm not mistaken, from the fifth day, only a few Suzaku cultivators have left, and nearly half of the Suzaku cultivators have stayed in Daxuan."

"Yes!" Liang Jixiong nodded, "We have to find a way to keep the remaining half now."

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Why are some people willing to leave and others not?"

Liang Jixiong sighed: "Those who leave, because their homeland is difficult to leave, as for those who refuse to leave, they must have other ideas."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "There is no other idea, and those who refuse to leave are also because their homeland is hard to leave!"

"how do I say this?"

"Because this is their hometown, and Daxuan is their home. Some of these Suzaku cultivators were born in Daxuan, and some became families in Daxuan. Now Mochi forces them to leave, and we Xuan people can't tolerate them. They are almost homeless, and if you want to keep them, you have to give them a home first!"

The prince suddenly realized: "Those who should go will eventually go, but those who should stay should be kept. Let's build another Zhuque Palace and give them a home!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Build another Suzaku palace, and the Liang officials will accuse you of treason again. We have a ready-made place, and the most urgent thing now is the Minister of the Household Department, let him write a memorial, and recruit all the Suzaku cultivators to the household If the Ministry is an official, find a few more ministers to second, and communicate with the cabinet in advance, so that they can draft an imperial edict as soon as possible."

The prince was still a little worried: "Even if an imperial edict is drafted, I'm afraid that the emperor will not approve it."

"Grand officials will definitely not approve red lightly, and the cabinet's imperial edict will definitely be rejected." Xu Zhiqiong had already expected this step, "Don't worry, this is a serious matter, and more and more ministers will be seconded. Taiwan will also help out!"

The prince laughed and said: "Yu Shitai didn't make a move, but spoke out, I'm afraid I'll be scolding to the dark!"

Liang Jixiong nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, but it will take a lot of time, but the autumn harvest cannot wait!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Let the household department take the first step and recruit Suzaku cultivators. All the states and counties will naturally follow suit. After Liang Daguan's family issues an edict, they will be given official titles. This year's harvest will definitely be affected. In previous years, [-]% would be considered lucky, but as long as Suzaku's life is still alive, he will be able to recover next year!"

The prince's face was full of joy, but there was still one thing that he was worried about right now.

"Dragon's Fury Club is all over the city. Suzaku cultivators are being searched everywhere. It is said that many people have been killed and injured. In the past few days, many Suzaku cultivators have left the capital."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Leave this matter to me."

The prince said: "Don't underestimate this group of Confucian scholars, they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they are very vicious in their actions."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Your Highness, that's not what I said. I think the people in Longnu Club are pretty good. They are all handsome and they speak so nicely. I like them just by looking at them!"

Liang Jixiong said: "Dragon's Nu Society has thousands of members in the whole city, have you dealt with it?"

"Thousands of people are good!" Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "It may not be enough!"
