Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 42
Xu Zhiqiong went to the Peach Blossom Shed and told the shopkeeper: "Chen Jiu'er was picked up by her husband, and she won't be back in the future."

The boss sighed and said: "It turns out that I went back with my husband's house. It's fine if I go back. This girl, she didn't know that she would greet me when she left, but how did Master Denglang know?"

Xu Zhiqiong had long thought of an excuse: "She refused to go with her husband, and the two fought in the street, and the quarrel reached the Lantern Yamen, where they were reprimanded. Chen Jiuer did not dare to disobey, and agreed to go back with her husband."

As soon as he heard that there was a commotion at the Yamen, the old shopkeeper became nervous, and hurriedly saluted Xu Zhiqiong: "Sir, please say something nice, but don't make things difficult for that girl."

"No problem, don't worry."

The old shopkeeper took out another five slings of money: "Two slings to honor the adults and drink tea, and the remaining three slings will be used as money for that girl."

This old shopkeeper is a good man, and the crime karma on his head is less than half an inch, which is rare among ordinary people.

"She has already left, you keep the money and find another dancer."

The shopkeeper smiled wryly: "It's so easy to find, I can't afford to invite the handsome ones, but I'm sorry to invite the ugly ones. Business is too difficult in Beiyuan."

Hearing that the boss poured out bitter water, Xu Zhiqiong got up to leave.

Wang Shijie's soul is still thumping in the horns, no one else can see it, but Xu Zhiqiong can feel the thoughts of the dead soul.

The crime should have been sent to the Department of Punishment, but there was no time left.

There is time now, but Xu Zhiqiong is very tired, he didn't sleep a wink last night, he fought fiercely with the eunuch, and now he is dizzy, it is not appropriate to punish the evil chief at this time.

It's really hard to go to punish the evil division, and you have to go back and forth in the underworld. Before you go, you have to sleep for a while.

After returning home, after a brief wash, Xu Zhiqiong lay down on the bed, counting the experiences of the past two days.

The past two days have been very hard, and the days where black and white are reversed are indeed different from normal people.

But Xu Zhiqiong liked this job more than any job he had in his previous life.

To be precise, there are two errands, one is a judge and the other is a lantern bearer.

One road leads directly to the stars, one road leads directly to dignitaries, one road leads to immortality, and the other road leads to rich clothes and fine food.

When the time comes, marry the eldest sister, and marry the second sister Lin, buy a big bed, sleep on each side, and it will not be crowded at all.

In the middle of my sleep, the rain and dew are all wet, so there is no need to grab...

This sleep was so beautiful that he slept until the second watch. Xu Zhiqiong woke up hungry and didn't eat all day.

Fortunately, there is also the flower cake sent by Lin Erjie.

After eating and washing his stomach, Xu Zhiqiong took out Wang Shijie's crimes.

This four-inch-long baby is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

The soul is still dancing in it, this guy is dead, but his energy is still so strong.

Xu Zhiqiong was not in a hurry to release him. The Taoist priest was not here tonight, so he released a soul rashly, which might alarm Tong Qingqiu. It is said that onmyojis have the ability to perceive souls.

Let's go to punish the evil division first.

I almost forgot, and I had to bring the firewood stick given by the Taoist priest, in case I met Feng Shaoqing who was punishing the criminal again, and beat that bitch to death with a stick.

Zuo Ni San, You Shun Er, and Right Ni San jumped into the clouds, and Xu Zhiqiong arrived at the Punishment Division smoothly.

This time the road was familiar, Xu Zhiqiong entered the gate of the Department of Punishment, and only then released Wang Shijie's soul.

Naked, Wang Shijie looked around and stared at Xu Zhiqiong for a while.

Although Xu Zhiqiong was wearing a mask, he was still recognized by him.

"Okay, you little bastard, where did you take Grandpa? Grandpa must beat you to death today!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Wang Denglang, you are so bold, give it a try!"

Wang Shijie really hit him, Xu Zhiqiong thought he couldn't hit him, but felt a gust of cold wind hit his face, Xu Zhiqiong quickly hid aside.

The black dog had never dared to touch Xu Zhiqiong before, and Xu Zhiqiong thought that the soul had no substance.

He was wrong.

Wang Shijie was able to touch him, and the ghost that came out of the crime has a physical body. It is hard to say whether he can beat others, but at least he can beat the judge.

But Wang Shijie now only has the strength of an ordinary person, so he can't touch Xu Zhiqiong at all.

What's more, Xu Zhiqiong grasped the sin karma, and Wang Shijie immediately collapsed on the ground when he exerted a little force on his hand.

"You bastard, what sorcery did you use? You sucked my strength again!"

His memory was still at the moment before he died. Xu Zhiqiong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he pulled his horns and led him on the road.

Wang Shijie scrambled and crawled along, shouting and cursing all the way, and when he was about to reach the Judgment Pavilion, he couldn't stop scolding, and he gave up.

"Zhiqiong, tell me something sweet, where is this place?"

Xu Zhiqiong turned his head and said, "You still want to have fun?"

Thinking of the pain before he died, Wang Denglang cried: "Zhiqiong, my brother is sorry for you, and my brother was also furious for a while. I didn't really want to harm you. My brother confessed to you, and my brother apologized to you. Anyway Give me a dress to wear..."

Xu Zhiqiong continued to walk forward. Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong ignored him, Wang Shijie turned to scold him: "Little bastard, wait for me. When you return to the Lantern Yamen, I will tell you to see what family law is. Tell you to see what the rules are! I will show you how many tricks there are in the torture chamber."

"You can't go back to the Lantern Yamen," Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "I'll take you to a good place later, there are many tricks there."

When we arrived at the gate of Judgment Pavilion, it was still the most cordial one.

Xu Zhiqiong pushed the door and went in, but saw the female pusher half lying on the chair, with her feet on the desk, silently looking at Xu Zhiqiong.

Although he was wearing a mask, the coldness in his eyes made Xu Zhiqiong chill.

Remembering that her name was Xia Hu, Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to say hello, "Officer Xia Tui, my subordinates are here to take care of your business again."

Xu Zhiqiong put the horn on the desk, but Xia Hu didn't take it, and still looked at Xu Zhiqiong coldly.

What's wrong with this?
Could it be that the girl who sang by the river was really her?

Is she blaming me for stealing her achievements?
I put the horns in front of my eyes, wouldn't she be able to snatch it?

Between the four eyes, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Xu Zhiqiong was about to take the horn back when Xia Hu laughed.

"Laugh, what are you laughing at?"

Xia Hu said, "How did you become like this?"

Xu Zhiqiong was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and said with a simple smile: "I suffered a slight injury."

"How did you get hurt?"

Before Xu Zhiqiong could speak, Wang Shijie shouted from the side: "I see, you are human teeth, this woman is your accomplice, you abducted me!"

Pooh!
Xu Zhiqiong and Xia Hu spat at the same time, just like this, who can kidnap him if he is blind?
Xia Hu turned her fingertips and sealed Wang Shijie's mouth just like she did with the black dog before.

What means?Xu Zhiqiong also wanted to learn.

Xia Hu picked up the ruler to measure the sin karma, gritted her teeth, and sighed: "The sin karma is four inches and seven cents, let's take a picture on the evil mirror."

Judging by her jealousy, it is basically certain that she is the girl who sings.

Since she wanted the crime, and the crime was in her hands, why didn't she snatch it?
Xia Hu saw Xu Zhiqiong's thoughts, and said: "You took this criminal karma. Unless you make a written statement and are willing to give it to others, no one can take it away. It must be yours."

It turns out that there are such rules.

Xu Zhiqiong took Wang Shijie to the Niejing Stage, and when he saw the first picture, Wang Shijie was frightened.

In the mirror, the young Wang Shijie was beating an old man who sold groceries.

Wang Shijie was still wearing the uniform of a government servant at that time, but there was already seven points of criminal karma on her head, and after beating the old man, it seemed to be a little longer.

Xu Zhiqiong asked the pusher: "This is not the first time he has committed evil!"

Xia Hu nodded and said: "This person has done a lot of evil deeds before, but the increase in crimes is too little, and the mirror of evil has not been revealed."

"Why is Nie Jingtai still picking and choosing?"

"If you don't pick and choose, you don't know what year and month you will see here!"

In the second scene, Wang Shijie beat up a young flower seller, and the attack was vicious. Not only did he injure the young man, but he also ruined all the young man's flowers.

He doesn't want flowers, he just wants to hit people.

In the third picture, he hit a girl who bought oranges.

In the fourth picture, he hit a three-year-old child.

Xu Zhiqiong really couldn't understand, why did he hit a three-year-old child?
There are dozens of pictures like this, Xia Hu said in a deep voice: "Because evil is evil, this is not easy to judge."

What does it mean to do evil for the sake of evil?

Xia Hu explained: "The reason why people do evil is driven by their thoughts, such as greed, lust, and food, just like the black dog you brought earlier, it was driven by the desire to eat and drink. hurt."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the mirror and said, "He also has greed. I see that he took a lot of bribes, and he also despised girls from good families."

Xia Hu shook her head: "Although there are such common evil deeds, most of them have no reason. It's like he wants to hit someone when he raises his hand. It doesn't do him any good, but why does he keep doing this?"

Xu Zhiqiong understood what the female pusher meant: "Is he doing evil for the sake of doing evil?"

Xia Hu nodded and said: "His desires are evil thoughts, and this person is full of evil thoughts!"

While talking, a young man in white clothes appeared in the mirror, he was a new lantern bearer.

Lantern Lantern had a hard life, and was beaten several times by Wang Shijie. Once he resisted desperately and injured Wang Shijie's face.

Holding a grudge, Wang Shijie ambushed the young man in the middle of the night, and blinded him.

The boy became a useless person, and became a beggar on the street. One day, after sitting on the bridge for a while, he plunged into the river and drowned.

The sin karma on Wang Shijie's head has only increased by five points, Xu Zhiqiong is puzzled, this is a living life!

Xia Hu explained: "He was the one who caused the eyes, five points of the crime, and the young man lost his life. It's not his fault."

Next, six lantern bearers were bullied by him one after another, and one of them hanged himself because he could not stand the humiliation.

There was also a lantern bearer whose hand was cut off. He felt that all thoughts were lost and fell to his death. Wang Shijie's crimes only increased by three points.

Xia Hu said: "Injury and death are not the same sin after all. The lives of these two people cannot be counted on him. The three young men who wanted to die can only blame them for being too cowardly."

Yes, they are cowardly.

No matter if you are blind or have a broken leg, if you put down your heart, there is still a chance for revenge.

But Xu Zhiqiong knew how desperate these three teenagers were.

For the remaining five lantern bearers, some were blinded, Wang Shijie got five points of crime, and some had their hands and feet broken, and their crimes rose by three to five points.

In addition, Wang Shijie has accumulated a lot of evil deeds in ordinary times, and after decades of accumulation, he finally has this four-inch seven-point crime.

"How can I judge this?" Xia Hu was a little embarrassed, "It's his nature to do evil."

nature?
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Could it be a light sentence?"

"A light sentence?" Xia Hu sneered, "I'm afraid the criminal laws of the underworld are not enough for him!"
