Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 643
The mansion of Shan Zhongming, a high-ranking member of the Shenji Division, was much larger than Xu Zhiqiong's Marquis' mansion.

Crossing the front yard and walking to the main courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong took Han Di to the main hall. After drinking a cup of tea, the butler Shan Yongping asked, "My lord, where is Miss Lu Qiaoer resting tonight?"

Xu Zhiqiong said casually: "Let's rest in the bedroom."

"Bedroom?" Shan Yongping looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid the bedroom is not right, Madam..."

It was only then that Xu Zhiqiong remembered that Shan Zhongming had a regular wife.

The main wife naturally lives in the bedroom, and Qiancheng Kingdom must also pay attention to being well-matched. With Shan Zhongming's status, the status of the main wife must be unusual. It is obviously inappropriate to bring a woman to live in.

Xu Zhiqiong cleared his throat and said, "You also know that the bedroom is not suitable, where do you live, why do you need to ask me about such things?"

Seeing that the master was not in a good mood, the housekeeper hurriedly responded, "This old slave will deal with it himself."

Shan Yongping returned as soon as he left: "Master, let's rest in Dongkuayuan tonight."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded, took Han Di, and followed the housekeeper to Dongkuayuan.

The chief's mansion was too big, and it took him a cup of tea to walk from the main courtyard to the Dongcao courtyard. If he acted alone, Xu Zhiqiong was really worried that he would get lost.

In Dongkua courtyard, there are three main rooms, one carved building, one pond, four wing rooms and two gatehouses.

The two lived in the main house, and there were six servants and six maidservants in the courtyard.

The bed had already been made and the charcoal stove was lit. Two maidservants were waiting for orders by the bed. Han Di blushed and said, "My lord, let's rest."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the two maidservants: "You go out first."

The servants looked at each other, not understanding what the master meant.

Their duty is to serve the master to do things, and they can also step forward to help out at critical moments.

Han Di sternly said: "Didn't you hear your lord's order, hurry up and get out!"

The new lady had a bit of a temper, and the two maidservants hurriedly left the bedroom.

Han Di lowered his voice and said, "I think the two of them haven't gone far. If the senior brother doesn't do anything, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Han Di and said, "What does junior sister want to do?"

Han Di lowered his head and said, "Little sister belongs to the senior brother, so I can do whatever the senior brother says."

"Really?"

Han Di said with a blushing face, "All you have to do is obey the orders of senior brother."

Xu Zhiqiong untied his belt, and Han flute buried his head deeper: "Brother, are you impatient?"

"No hurry, this matter has to be done quickly." Xu Zhiqiong quickly took off his coat.

His face was full of shyness, but Han Di was secretly proud of himself.

This guy is always joking, after all, he is still thinking about my body just like he was in the academy.

It's good to give it to him after all, with this night, it's hard to predict who will be the wife and who will be the concubine in the future.

That idiot Yang Wu doesn't know how to take pity, from now on I will be his master, even if he is greedy to death, don't even think about touching me again.

Han Di peeked at Xu Zhiqiong, and found that Xu Zhiqiong just took off his outer shirt, not down.

He used a magic circle to call out a flesh and blood puppet, pasted a beard on it, put clothes on the puppet, and performed some illusions to make the puppet look like Shan Zhongming: "You sleep with him."

"I'll accompany him..."

"Sleep decently and don't arouse suspicion."

"How is it with him?"

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "I need to teach you this? Be gentle, don't break it."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiqiong went to the Zhonglang Court with Shan Zhongming's crimes in mind.

When he arrived at Zhonglang's courtyard, Xu Zhiqiong released Shan Zhongming's soul.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong, Shan Zhongming watched for a moment, trembling with fright.

Why does this person look exactly like himself?
After Xu Zhiqiong took off his makeup, Shan Zhongming looked at it for a while, and shouted: "You are the Marquis of Xuanguo, Xu Zhiqiong!"

On the day Xu Zhiqiong arrived at the Shenjun Hall, Shan Zhongming was also among the officials, and he had met Xu Zhiqiong.

"Prince Shan, what an offense, Mr. Xu invited you here today, because I have something to ask you." While speaking, Xu Zhiqiong lit a fire, set up the cauldron of asking ghosts, and started to heat the oil pan.

Shan Zhongming got up suddenly and ran away.

This guy is quite good at martial arts, no wonder he is quite confident in front of Han Di.

Xu Zhiqiong added firewood slowly, and when he escaped to the Chuhuamen, he stepped forward and grabbed him, and put him in the oil pan.

Shan Zhongming hissed and shouted: "The foreign villain, you are so rampant, you dare to harm me, and when I report to the gods, you will use your swords and soldiers, and now I will count you and other thieves as heads, and you will use your swords in the future, but you will be killed." To crush your Xuan Kingdom..."

The oil pan hasn't boiled yet, Shan Zhongming still has a little more to say.

Xu Zhiqiong picked up a firewood stick and stuffed it into Shan Zhongming's mouth with charcoal fire.

Under severe pain, Shan Zhongming fell into the frying pan, and after frying a meal, Xu Zhiqiong took a hook and fished him up.

Shan Zhongming, who was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, lay on the ground, trembling and howling.

Xu Zhiqiong picked up another firewood, and Shan Zhongming immediately fell silent.

"Princess Shan, I only want to ask you a few things. You must tell the truth. If I hear half a lie, you will have to fry it in oil for several hours."

Shan Zhongming shouted: "You are the judge!"

Xu Zhiqiong stuck a firewood stick under Shan Zhongming's waist: "I am a judge, what else do you want to ask?"

Shan Zhongming rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, Xu Zhiqiong pulled out the firewood stick and asked, "Let me tell you one thing first, what level of cultivation are you?"

"I have the righteous way, and I have a cultivation base of the first rank."

"You're still a first-class cultivator, what you said is too much!" Xu Zhiqiong picked up Shan Zhongming and was about to roast him on the fire.

Shan Zhongming shouted loudly: "I am the first grade of cultivation. My cultivation was given by the gods. The gods set the cultivation base. Don't rely on physique to be strong, but put morality first!"

It turns out that their cultivation level is the same as their official positions, and it is determined by the gods.

"Let's talk about your physique, how high is your cultivation?"

"I, I have never cultivated my body."

That is without cultivation.

"The two deputy heads of Shenji are of a few grades."

"According to the will of the gods, they have cultivated from the first rank..."

Xu Zhiqiong raised the firewood stick, and Shan Zhongming shouted: "He, they haven't cultivated their physique either."

One chief and two deputy chiefs have no cultivation base.

Such a person is in charge of a group of people with cultivation in Shenji.

Xu Zhiqiong took out the roster: "How high are the four lieutenants?"

"They haven't cultivated their physique either." Shan Zhongming knew how to answer this time.

"Where are the eight deputy lieutenants?"

"Some of them have cultivated their physique."

"You write it down for me in the roster."

Shan Zhongming took a pen and wrote one by one in the roster.

The eight deputy lieutenants are the only group of people with real cultivation among the top management of the Shenji Division.

Five of them have cultivation bases, and the highest cultivation base is the sixth rank.

At this level, Xu Zhiqiong still suspects that there is moisture in it.

Next, Xu Zhiqiong asked Shan Zhongming to look at the roster and write down everyone's cultivation bases, and a few people's cultivation bases were indeed matched.

Should be returned to the sect, the sixth-rank judge.

Sha Wenxuan, the seventh-rank bear god.

Zou Gongjing, five grades of yin and yang.

Wu Shengquan, eighth-rank Confucianism... This is obviously watery, and Wu Shengquan is a ninth-rank.

Xu Zhiqiong noticed two people on the list.

Jiang Shengqun, the general of Shenji, is above the fifth rank.

The magical Shaoqing Cong Ming is above the fifth rank.

Among all the current people in the Shenji Division, apart from Cong Ming, the fierce Taoist cultivator, Jiang Shengqun is the only cultivator above the fifth rank.

But on the fifth grade, how much did you get?

"Are these two people the third rank or the fourth rank?"

Shan Zhongming shook his head and said, "That's not certain."

Xu Zhiqiong raised the firewood stick, Shan Zhongming held his head and said, "Don't hit me, I'm telling the truth, you can't see the physique, I just know that they are stronger than the fourth grade."

"How do you know he is stronger?"

"The Division of Shenji competes once a year. Jiang Shengqun defeated Zou Gongjing last year. His cultivation should be above the fifth rank. Cong Ming and Jiang Shengqun are tied, and their cultivation should be equal."

It turns out that they rely on martial arts to determine everyone's cultivation.

But this has the possibility of cheating and hiding.

"Did Yuan Chengfeng beat Gongsun Wen in the competition?"

Shan Zhongming bowed his head and said, "It should be..."

"Yes, yes, no, no, answer well!"

Shan Zhongming said: "He defeated Gongsun Wen in the martial arts competition, but there was something strange about that competition."

"Why do you say it's strange?"

"Gongsun Wen has three grades of Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism and Taoism are not the righteous way. Confucianism and Taoism are just a means of cultivating the body. The righteous way is to cultivate virtue. I have cultivated thousands of times and put virtue first..."

boom!Xu Zhiqiong hit Shan Zhongming's face with a stick.

Shan Zhongming cried a few times, didn't dare to talk about Jill anymore, and just got to the point: "During the martial arts competition, Yuan Chengfeng didn't move, and asked Gongsun Wen to shoot three times. Instead of hurting him, Gongsun Wen fell off the ring by himself. I suspect that the two of them are cheating."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "Gongsun Wen was poisoned?"

"I don't know if he was poisoned, but I only know that he has injuries."

This is strange, Gongsun Wen shot three times, Yuan Chengfeng didn't fight back, and directly defeated Gongsun Wen.

The only reasonable explanation should be that Yuan Chengfeng used poison.

Could it be that Yuan Chengfeng is a gu cultivator?
But the highest cultivator of the Gu clan is Yuan'e Xing, and he is only a second-rank star official.

Yuan Chengfeng crushed Gongsun Wen without needing to fight back. Could it be that his cultivation is above the Yuan'e star?

"How did Yuan Chengfeng die?"

"I don't know about this..."

boom! boom! boom!
Shan Zhongming was beaten severely with a firewood stick. Shan Zhongming couldn't bear it, and told the truth:

"After defeating Gongsun Wen, Yuan Chengfeng won the appreciation of the gods and was promoted to deputy commander. After a while, he defeated the Charm of the Northland again, made great contributions, and was promoted to deputy commander.
At that time, I had just become the chief lieutenant, and it happened that one of the deputy chiefs died of illness. If Yuan Chengfeng was still alive, he would naturally be the deputy chief.
Although this person is physically strong, he has a wicked mind and extremely bad conduct. For the sake of the gods and the Qiancheng Sheji, I poisoned him to death before he was promoted to the deputy chief. "

Poisoned?
Shan Zhongming and Yuan Chengfeng were both lieutenants at the time. In order to compete for the position of deputy chief, Shan Zhongming poisoned Yuan Chengfeng to death, which is reasonable.

But if Yuan Chengfeng was a Gu cultivator, how could he be poisoned to death?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't understand the reason more and more.

There is another key piece of information in Shan Zhongming's remarks, he mentioned Charming Demon.

"Who is the Charm?"

Shan Zhongming said: "The Charm is a banshee that haunts the Northlands. It specializes in murdering men with charm. It was once a great disaster for thousands of times.
Later, because the demon killed the eldest son of Shenjun, Shenjun ordered the commander of Shenji to eradicate the demon. The commander of Shenji lost countless troops and was no match for the demon. Yuan Chengfeng went to the northern border to fight hard for a day and defeated the demon. "

Charm?

Charm!

Meiling's Taoism is also called Charm Tao.

This succubus is most likely to be the dancer in the Constellation Corridor.

Is she Mei Ling's disciple?

But she is a banshee, Mei Ling said that among her disciples, there is only one man who has cultivated above the mortal world.

The gender doesn't match again.

"What is the origin of Charm Monster?"

Shan Zhongming said: "There are different opinions on the origin, and there are files in the Shenji Division."
