Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 463 Barren Mountain Leading the Way
The Yacha beat the magistrate half to death, Xu Zhiqiong beat the Yacha half to death, and broke several sticks. Xu Zhiqiong sat in front of the magistrate and asked, "What's your name?"

The county magistrate panted for a while and said, "The county's name is Tang Shou'en, a good man. I don't know who you are, and I don't know what plans you have. Listen to my good advice and leave quickly. The county has always been lenient. What happened tonight , will not be pursued..."

Bang!
Xu Zhiqiong kicked the magistrate's face: "You don't want to pursue me? Then I beat you for nothing?"

The county magistrate raised his head and said, "This county will never tolerate things that should be investigated."

Bang!
Xu Zhiqiong kicked again: "You really dare to pursue me?"

Tang Shou'en raised his head and cried, "You good man, what do you want?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Let me ask you, these refugees are not the people of Daxuan? Why did you attack and kill them so cruelly?"

Tang Shou'en said: "These are all refugees from other places. This county only expelled them and never killed anyone."

Bang!
Xu Zhiqiong kicked again: "The corpses by the river are there, and the heads are hanging on the trees, how dare you deny it!"

"This, this is a helpless move. The Lujiang River is turbulent, and the refugees are fishing without authorization. If there is a mistake, the county cannot bear it..."

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Xu Zhiqiong kicked and beat him: "Why are you killing people and worrying about mistakes, why are you so shameless?"

Tang Shouen burst into tears and said, "This county does have difficulties..."

Xu Zhiqiong didn't bother to listen to his difficulties: "Is there any surplus food in the county?"

"There is some surplus grain, but it was taken away by the magistrate. If you don't believe me, you can go to the granary to have a look. The big and small granaries are all empty."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Among the states in the south, Zhuzhou is considered rich, how could it end up in such a land?"

Tang Shou'en sighed: "It was only because of the expulsion of Suzaku cultivators last year that the food harvest failed."

"Daxuan's harvest is poor, and it's not as miserable as Zhuzhou."

Tang Shouen heard that Xu Zhiqiong's conversation was good, and asked tentatively: "May I ask your honorable name?"

Xu Zhiqiong raised his foot to kick him again, Tang Shouen quickly covered his face.

Tao Huayuan said from the side: "This is the Marquis of Daxuan, Xu Zhiqiong, Marquis of Yun."

Hearing Xu Zhiqiong's name, Tang Shou'en almost lost his temper. At first he thought that he just met a strongman, and if he paid some money, he might be able to save his life.

Now that I met this person, this life seemed to be gone.

He had received documents from the imperial court, knowing that Marquis Yun was going south to Yu Xianguo, and that Xu Zhiqiong would pass through Jiangqu County, and he even asked someone specifically to inquire about it, saying that Xu Zhiqiong did not stay in Jiangqu County, but went directly down the river. .

Knowing that Xu Zhiqiong would not stay, Tang Magistrate was very happy. He hugged the newly married two concubines and drank happily all night.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiqiong is still here.

Why did he come ashore suddenly?Why did he suddenly come to the county seat?

Tang Shouen knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "Master Hou, this matter was all done by Kong Jianchen, the magistrate, and has nothing to do with his lowly position.

Last year, the imperial court issued an edict to expel Suzaku cultivators. The surrounding states and counties were all pretending to be forced to do so. They did expel a few people, but if the imperial court did not check strictly, they tried to keep a few more.
But Kong Jianchen didn't think so, he was really ruthless, and ordered Suzaku cultivator to leave Zhuzhou within three days. If he didn't leave, he was really killing. Not to mention, if the family members don't move out, they will have to be arrested and sent to hard labor! "

Emperor Zhaoxing, a fool, did a foolish thing.

Unexpectedly, there are even more stupid people below, who will intensify their implementation.

It can't be said that this magistrate is stupid, such a person is purely bad!

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Where is your magistrate now?"

"In Zhuyuan City, the capital of the state, he collected all the surplus grain from all over the country. If there was no surplus grain, he searched it from house to house. In just one or two days, he had to go north and send it to the capital to ask for credit from the imperial court."

"How far is Zhuyuan City from here?"

"Two hundred miles to the east."

"Tao'er, can you walk two hundred miles overnight?"

Tao Huayuan looked distressed: "If it goes smoothly, two people may be able to do it, but I'm not familiar with the roads in Zhuzhou."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "What if you bring a guide?"

Tao Huayuan shook her head and said, "If you take a layman with you, you can't go so fast."

Xu Zhiqiong asked the magistrate for a map of Zhuzhou, and followed the route on the map, and went to Zhuzhou with Tao Huayuan.

Before leaving, Xu Zhiqiong grabbed Tang Shouen and told him, "I'll give you two things, but you have to do it well. First, settle these refugees down and don't drive them away. Second, buy them from the passing fleet." Come over with some food, and exchange bowls of porridge for these refugees."

Tang Shouen rubbed his hands together and said, "It's easy to buy food, but where does the money come from? I've been poor all my life..."

"Are you poor?" Xu Zhiqiong sneered.

Tang Shou'en lowered his head and said, "Although this old man has some savings, the number of victims of this disaster is quite a lot."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "For the money to buy food, you should put it first, how much you pay depends on your sincerity, if you put too much, I will go to the magistrate to find some money for you, if someone in your county starves to death again, And wash your neck clean, wait for me to come to you."

……

Xu Zhiqiong and Tao Huayuan left the county seat, made two magic circles, and walked fifty miles in less than half an hour.

The third magic circle was a bit difficult to use, because there were many mountains around, and the Qi mechanism was not smooth to use.

"Thief boy, wait for me for a while, I will find a way to find a shortcut from the mountains."

Tao Huayuan released yin and yang energy to test the way among the mountains, Xu Zhiqiong looked around, and suddenly saw a torch flying into the air in the distance.

Tao Huayuan searched for a long time, but couldn't find a shortcut, and she was so anxious that she was sweating: "Thief boy, why don't I make a magic circle, let's forcefully go over the mountain."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tao'er, don't worry, you go back to the boat first and tell Mo Chi to wait for me for a few more days."

Tao Huayuan was startled: "I'll go back to the boat by myself, what should you do then?"

"I have a way to go to the state capital. There are my acquaintances here, but the acquaintances are afraid of strangers and refuse to see you."

Tao Huayuan shook her head and said, "But I can't worry about you."

Another torch flew up in the distance, Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said: "We must know that Hui Mochi will let him know that we are not trustworthy. The people can't bear to toss, and we must find all the Suzaku cultivators."

Tao Huayuan left helplessly.

Xu Zhiqiong groped along the direction of the torch.

A man with a mask on his face lit a torch and threw it into the air: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let's go!"

In mid-air, more than a dozen dead souls flew towards the fire, and slowly disappeared.

The man looked around and sighed, "This is too much."

Can not much.

There are hundreds of hungry people in the mountains and fields alone.

The man lit another torch and was about to throw it into the air when his ears trembled and he turned his head slowly.

Xu Zhiqiong stood behind him wearing a mask.

The man stared at Xu Zhiqiong and looked him up and down: "Comrade?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded.

"What level of cultivation?" This man is less than seventh level, he is a serious eighth level guide book, but Xu Zhiqiong's cultivation level can't be seen yet.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "The cultivation base is comparable to that of your brother."

"They're all guides? You came just in time. There are too many souls here. Give me a hand and guide them on their way."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "This is your meritorious service, how can I take advantage of you?"

It is also meritorious to lead the master book and lead the souls of the dead on the road.

It's just that there are not many meritorious deeds. To attract a dead soul is just a golden bean.

"What do you care about?" the man said with a wry smile, "I have long since given up planning to be promoted. I just want to send them a ride because I see these dead souls are pitiful. After this trip, I will not cultivate this door!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, that's not what you said, our school is the right way, we are..."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's the right way? All year long, I'm worried, and life is worse than being a thief. Come here and help me first. If you attract more dead souls, you'll earn more merits!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled, threw the torch into the air, and shouted: "Everyone, I have suffered and suffered in this life, I will see you off, and I will give birth to a good family in the next life!"

As the torch passed by, a large group of dead souls struggled out of the corpse, and quickly flew after the flame.

That man could send away a dozen dead souls at a time, but Xu Zhiqiong sent away hundreds of people at once.

The man was startled and said: "This comrade, your cultivation base is higher than mine?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "It's almost the same, brother, I have something to ask, can you take me to Zhuzhou to punish the evil division."

"Would you still use me to punish the evil division?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'm not from Zhuzhou, so I don't know the key to open the door. I want to go to Zhuzhou to punish the criminals and pay homage to your long history."

The man thought for a moment and said, "What's your name?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "My name is Ma Shangfu!"
