Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 620
In Qiancheng Kingdom, any practice of Taoism violates the law. Qiancheng Kingdom does not believe in strange powers and chaotic gods, but only believes in the supreme god. The concept of "Taoism" itself violates the law, and the so-called "cultivator" Heinous prisoner.

But there is an exception for one type of cultivator, and this kind of cultivator is all in the Divine Machine Division.

Shenji Division is the only institution in Qiancheng Kingdom that can have legal cultivators. According to Qiancheng Kingdom's explanation, the cultivators in Shenji Division do not obtain their cultivation base from strange powers and chaotic gods, but are bestowed by the gods.

The leader of the Shenji Department is called Shenji Shushou, and he is a first-rank official.

Under Shenji Shushou, there are two deputy chiefs, who are first-rank officials.

Further down are four Shuwei, the second rank.

The eight deputy shuwei are the third grade.

Sixteen Shangqing, the fourth rank.

There are 32 Shaoqing, the fifth rank.

64 generals, the sixth rank.

250 six school lieutenants, Zheng Qipin.

510 two small schools, are eight grades.

There are also magicians, the ninth rank, and the number is uncertain.

The five people sitting in front of Chen Zhixian were General Wu Shengquan of Shenji Division, and four lieutenants Sha Wenxuan, Kou Hengtao, Zou Gongjing, and Ying Zugui.

It stands to reason that Chen Enze, as the county magistrate of the seventh rank, kowtowed to Wu Shengquan, the general of the Shenji Division of the sixth rank, according to the ancient etiquette of the Qiancheng Kingdom, which is reasonable.

Those four school captains were both rank seven with him, so they shouldn't have kowtowed.

But Chen Zhixian is a person who understands the overall situation.

What is the origin of Shenjiji!
The Shenji Division belongs to Shenjun directly, and since the Shenji Division is here, something must have happened.

What can I do if I kowtow twice more?A man from Qiancheng Kingdom can't see gold under his knees, and if he knocks twice more, he will lose a piece of meat. A little respect will not hurt him.

After kowtowing, Chen Zhixian still knelt carefully, and General Shenji Wu Shengquan didn't intend to let him stand up.

"Chenzhi County, Mr. Wu has revealed his identity, can you continue to ask about some things?"

Chen Enze kowtowed again: "It's too much offense for me to be an official, I hope the general will forgive me, but if the general asks anything, the official will know everything."

Wu Shengquan asked: "The fisherman named He Laowang, why did he have a dispute with the official?"

"Because of the fish sale, He Laowang claimed to have caught four green leaf fish, but Fang Baigong, the official of Anshi City, determined that there were only two.

"I heard that He Laowang came to your county government before, so why?"

"Before he had some disputes with Jinxiu writer Zheng Deliang. Zheng Deliang said that He Laowang colluded with demons and was beaten by He Laowang. After the county investigated and found no real evidence, he was released and returned to his hometown."

"Evidence?" Wu Shengquan said with a smile, "Magistrate Chen, you mean to use evidence to settle the case?"

Chen Enze said: "What does the general mean by this? There is no basis, how can this county convict at will?"

"So, you are a good official for the people?"

"I don't dare to be the master for the people, but the county has been blessed by the gods, but I have a clear conscience."

Wu Shengquan walked up to Chen Zhixian, and said with a stern expression: "Chen Zhixian, does He Laowang have any contact with the demon?"

Chen Enze said: "This county just said it, but there is no real evidence for this matter!"

"Chen Zhixian, what is the secret behind this, you tell me the truth as soon as possible, and I will ask you after I find out, the matter will not end well."

Chen Enze's heart throbbed. He knew that Wu Shengquan had found something, but he didn't know what he found.

Follow his advice, honestly?
To be an official in Qiancheng Country, these four words are the most taboo. Tell the truth.

In any case, there is no benefit in telling the truth, and there is no harm in lying to the end.

Besides, Chen Zhixian is not lying, it can only be regarded as concealing some things.

"General Wu, I'll say it again, I'm worthy of God's grace, and I have a clear conscience!"

"Okay!" Wu Shengquan smiled slightly, "I'm going to do business here, and I will borrow your yamen for a few days."

Wu Shengquan nodded and said: "The old man has been poor all his life, and he doesn't greet well. I hope the adults don't dislike him."

The five people settled down in the yamen, and school lieutenant Sha Wenxuan and Zou Gongjing came to the yamen gate and carefully searched for traces on the ground.

Sha Wenxuan is a seventh-rank cultivator of Xiong Shendao, with a very sharp nose. Although Xia Hu cleaned up the battlefield, he still smelled a little blood on the ground.

After searching for a while, he found some bloodstains in the crevices of the stone, scraped off the bloodstains, and handed them to Zou Gongjing.

Although they are both captains, Zou Gongjing's cultivation level is higher than Sha Wenxuan's. He is a fifth-grade cultivator of Yin-Yang Dao and is very good at divination.

Taking advantage of this bloodstain, he spent more than an hour doing a divination, and roughly figured out Fang Baigong's whereabouts.

The five of them left the city immediately, walked north of the city for more than 20 li, and came to a barren mountain.

Sha Wenxuan relied on his strong nose and groped in the mountains for more than two hours, and finally found Fang Baigong's body.

When the body was dug out, everyone examined the injury, and found that there was only one wound, on the top of the head, and a walnut-sized hole was drilled above the skull.

Wu Shengquan looked at the school lieutenant Kou Hengtao: "Is this an institution of the Mo family?"

Kou Hengtao is a sixth-rank cultivator of the Mohist school. Looking at the shape of the wound, he was quite surprised and said, "I'm afraid that such a superb mechanism cannot be manipulated by ordinary people."

Zou Gongjing shook his head and said: "It's not all organs, there is still some yin energy around the wound, it should be that the organs themselves have energy."

Wu Shengquan said: "That's a cultivator who understands both yin and yang and Mohism, or it's not done by one person, but a group of thieves and bandits together. But why would such a ruthless person kill a Yacha?"

One of the main functions of the Shenji Division is to arrest folk cultivators. Any folk cultivators of the Taoist sect violate the law in Qiancheng.

But among all cultivators, there is still the most intolerable category, that is, judges.

For the case in front of him, the death of a government servant is not important, and the death of a fisherman is even more unimportant to Shen Jisi. Right and wrong, they don't bother to care about it at all, they only care about one thing.

In this case, a villain was brutally killed, which is very similar to what judges always do.

If one suspects that a person is a judge, as long as the other party is not an official, the Shenji Division does not need to investigate and can kill him directly.

However, what is unbelievable is that there are legal judges in this country that can't tolerate judges at all.

Among these five people, there is a legal judge, the school captain Ying Zugui, a sixth-rank judge. He stared at Fang Baigong's corpse for a long time with his eyes of crime, and said to Wu Shengquan: "General, this man The criminal karma was taken away by the judge, and I can see the traces of the judge's removal."

"We, Qiancheng, have really gone the wrong way!" Wu Shengquan gritted his teeth.

Ying Zugui said: "According to my speculation, this judge should be from outside."

Zou Gongjing said: "Foreign judges came to Qiancheng only to kill a servant, but why?"

Ying Zugui said: "The judge kills people for merit."

Zou Gongjing smiled: "This is absurd. There are countless perpetrators in the world. Why do you have to come to Qiancheng to earn this merit? Even if there are foreign judges, they must have secretly recruited disciples in our Qiancheng country for the sake of spread. "

Ying Zugui frowned and said: "Lieutenant Zou, are you talking about me?"

Zou Gongjing smiled: "I made a random guess, and I just said it casually. After all, you are no longer in the evil way. If you want to accept disciples, I am afraid that the rules of the evil way will not agree."

Ying Zugui shouted: "I am utterly loyal to the gods, and the gods have their own lessons!"

Zou Gongjing smiled and said: "Lieutenant Ying, calm down, what did I say to make you so angry?"

Wu Shengquan said to Zou Gongjing: "Don't talk about idleness anymore, and prepare a letter quickly. This matter involves a judge, and you must report it to the gods immediately."

……

Hong Zhenji opened the door curtain of the chariot, looked at Xu Zhiqiong who was riding a horse behind him, and felt suspicious in his heart.

This guy followed the road during the day, and taught the little beggar how to read at night, and never saw him leave alone.

But why did the god king send a decree, saying that he has accepted evil disciples in the country?
The more Hong Zhenji thought about it, the more he felt strange. He also asked someone from the Shenji Division to come over to see it. The Shenji Division could confirm that Xu Zhiqiong had a cultivation level, but he didn't know how high or low his cultivation level was. Others say it is the fifth grade.

Since there is no way to speculate, then you have to use some serious means and have a good talk with him, so that he can understand what is gain and loss, and what is balance between advance and retreat.

After the dinner, Hong Zhenji found Xu Zhiqiong and chatted a few words.

"Yunhou, do you still remember the few words my widow told you the day before yesterday?"

Xu Zhiqiong said in amazement: "Wang Shu and Xu said a lot, Xu doesn't remember much, please remind Shu Wang."

"The widow once said that there are thousands of rules in a thousand chariots. No matter where Yunhou is on the border of a thousand chariots, no matter where he goes, he should be accompanied by someone, and he cannot act without authorization."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "I remember this, why did King Shu mention it again? Could it be that he saw me act without authorization in the past two days?"

Hong Zhenji frowned and looked at Xu Zhiqiong. He didn't know if he really didn't understand, or he was pretending to be confused: "Yunhou, in our Qiancheng, we pay attention to three points of speech. Today I will be more sincere and speak to five points." Fen, do you know that it is a heinous and unforgivable crime for a person from my country, Qiancheng, to practice heretics without authorization?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "I'm not from your Qiancheng country, so what does this have to do with me?"

Hong Zhenji frowned even tighter: "Marquis Yun, if I'm not wrong, your cultivation level is not low, and the Taoism also has some unknown origins."

Xu Zhiqiong then laughed and said, "This is my private matter, what has it got to do with you?"

Hong Zhenji lowered his face and said: "Marquis Yun, you are the Marquis of Xuanguo, I don't know what rules you have in Xuanguo,
In my Qiancheng, not to mention the marquis, even the duke came to me, I asked him to kneel, he dare not stand, I looked at him, he is a person, I don't look at him, he is a dog of the royal family ,

Xu Zhiqiong, let me talk to you well, because I think highly of you. "

Xu Zhiqiong put down his wine glass and said without changing his smile: "Hong Zhenji, I really look down on you. If it wasn't for being in the envoy group, let alone you, I don't even want to take a second look at your god. He is nothing more than Mao Cha A dog."

Hong Zhenji gritted his teeth and said, "You..."

Xu Zhiqiong held Hong Zhenji down and said: "Don't worry, don't move around, you know that I have cultivation, you also know that my cultivation is not low, and you dare to talk to me alone, you really regard me as a Yelang countryman, Will you be scared out of your wits when you see the royal family?"

Hong Zhenji felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder, and blood flowed out: "You dare, you dare to do something to me? But you are not afraid of war between the two countries!"

Xu Zhiqiong did take some of his blood: "Start a war? Your master Mao Sha won't help you, what are you going to fight with? Your master Mao Sha has been emboldened by my announcement, you ask him if he dares to start a war? Hong Zhenji, from now on, don't Provoke me again, or you may never see your god again."

But he asked Hong Zhenji if there were no guards around him?

Yes, the Shenji Division sent experts to protect Shu Wang, and two fifth-rank killers were waiting at the door.

However, the rules of Qiancheng Kingdom are strict, they dare not eavesdrop on the conversation inside, and they dare not enter the door easily without the order of King Shu.

Hong Zhenji was so angry that his hands trembled: "You, you are too rampant..."

He never expected that Xu Zhiqiong would turn his back on him face to face, and he never expected that the Marquis of Xuanguo would be completely disregarding the overall situation.

He didn't dare to call the guards outside the door, his life was in Xu Zhiqiong's hands, so it was hard to say what this half-crazy person would do.

Xu Zhiqiong patted Hong Zhenji's cheek: "Don't look for me again, I really don't want to see your face, dogs are more attractive than you."
