Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong was interrogated in Zhonglang Court for more than an hour, and asked many things from Shan Zhongming.

Shan Zhongming felt that he had said everything he could say, and thought that Xu Zhiqiong would let him go, so he begged: "Yunhou, I know everything, and I didn't lie to you at all. You let me live,
The morning court is about to start. If the time is delayed, the gods will track it down. It's hard for me to explain it, and it's hard for you to get away. Even King Shu can't tell the difference. "

"Let you go? You know I'm a judge, and you let me let you go?"

Doesn't Shan Zhongming know that he is dead?

He really didn't know, Shan Zhongming said slowly: "I know that your sect likes to play tricks like hell, judges and cases. I don't mean to underestimate you, but I really don't believe you. Now, let's not pursue it, I have to go back and prepare for the morning court!"

Morning, this is really troublesome.

Xu Zhiqiong listened to the process of the early court. In Yelang Kingdom, the rules and etiquette of the monarch and his ministers are much more complicated than that of Daxuan.

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't learn these rules and etiquette, and he didn't want to learn them. It was impossible for Xu Zhiqiong to do just kneeling.

Forget it, take a leave of absence.

He asked Shan Zhongming about the process of asking for leave, and Shan Zhongming refused to say: "Yunhou, I can't ask for leave. I took leave once before. If I ask for leave again today, the god will not let me go!"

Xu Zhiqiong was furious, and just as he put Shan Zhongming into the frying pan, he suddenly saw Chang Decai coming to Zhonglangyuan and sent Xu Zhiqiong news.

"The eunuch from the Duzhijian came to report that their god is ill, and they don't need to go to court early for these two days."

Chang Decai managed the eunuchs, and Chang Decai could always receive the news from the Shenjun Palace immediately.

There is no need to go to court early, but it saves a lot of thought.

Xu Zhiqiong fished Shan Zhongming out of the frying pan, and asked some more things, including the temperament and hobbies of his wife and his wife.

It's been a long time since I stayed in Zhonglangyuan, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to wait for Xia Hu to come back, and play around, but on the Xingxiu Corridor, the dancer fought for an hour, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't bear the tiredness, and lay heavily on the bed went to sleep.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day, when Xu Zhiqiong went to Dongkuayuan, the capital of the pivot, and Han Di sat in the bedroom tremblingly, carefully dealing with the servants who came and went.

"Senior brother, where have you been? The housekeeper has urged you to go to court several times, but I don't know how to deal with it."

"What are you going to do with him? If he dares to break in, just beat him up." Xu Zhiqiong took the puppet away and asked, "Then the butler keeps urging him?"

Han Di shook his head: "After Maoshi, I won't come to remind you. It seems that I have received news from the palace that it is not early today."

God is really sick.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shan Zhongming did not go to court early in the past two days, he simply let Shan Zhongming suddenly suffer from a serious illness, and then "died suddenly".

But Xu Zhiqiong thought about it again and again, and didn't do it.

Doing this is indeed safe for Xu Zhiqiong, but it will deceive Hong Zhenji.

After drinking a lot of wine at Shu Wang's house, sleeping with a beautiful woman, and then dying suddenly when he returned home, Hong Zhenji must be inseparable.

And this also missed a rare good opportunity, Xu Zhiqiong really wanted to go to the Divine Machine Division to take a look.

After lunch, Xu Zhiqiong continued to pretend to be Shan Zhongming, and ordered his junior sister to stay at Dongkuayuan. He ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, and went to the Shenji Division.

The architectural style of the Shenji Department is similar to the combination of the Huangcheng Department and the Yin Yang Department. It looks like a yamen on the outside, but inside, there are layers of courtyards connected. Every time you pass through a door, you have to go through an interrogation. The security is very strict. .

Of course, this was aimed at outsiders. Seeing the chief's sedan chair, the Shenji sergeant who was in charge of the interrogation had to kneel and kowtow quickly, not to mention interrogation, and dared not even say a word.

After passing through seven gates in succession, Xu Zhiqiong arrived at the main building.

This is the special office for the head of Shenji. The first floor is the meeting hall for meetings, the second floor is the cabinet for the subordinates to handle official business, the third floor is the main hall for the head of government, and the fourth floor is the elegant room for the head of the government to rest. room.

Xu Zhiqiong went straight to the main hall, and first called two of his subordinates—Shenji Captain Luo Hui and Li Jie, and asked them to bring over the dossiers related to Charming Monster back then.

Luo Hui and Li Jie found it very strange that Shushou Shan didn't like to read files, and his favorite thing was to call the master of magic machine for a meeting.

In the morning, when Shushou went to the court meeting, Shenji was quiet.

Beginning at noon, there will be a noon meeting first, and the teachings of the gods will be relayed to everyone.

An hour after the noon meeting, the daily meeting will be held, and the chief will use the insights from the teachings of the gods to teach the masters of the gods.

The afternoon meeting will be held for more than an hour, and at dusk, according to the rules, there will be another evening meeting. This meeting will talk about some serious business and prepare for tomorrow's morning.

Ever since the two of them worked under Shan Shushou, they had never encountered the matter of taking a dossier.

The dossier was full of dust and cobwebs. After a lot of effort, the two brothers found the dossier and sent it to the main hall.

Xu Zhiqiong looked through the dossiers of Meiyao, only to find that Meiyao appeared more than once in the history of Qiancheng Kingdom. As early as the beginning of Qiancheng's founding, there were records of Meiyao harming people, and there were also records of killing Meiyao.

The most recent time to kill the succubi was in the twelfth lunar month of last year, and Shan Zhongming personally completed it. He took 20 of his subordinates to the succubi's lair, fought fiercely overnight, captured [-] succubi alive, and beheaded [-] of them with his own hands.

With Shan Zhongming's little ability, can he kill the Charming Monster with his own hands?

Maybe it's because the subordinates he leads are powerful.

Xu Zhiqiong casually opened a file, glanced at it, and learned that the name of the charmed monster was Liu Xiangping. After being captured alive by Shan Zhongming, he was still imprisoned in the prison of Shenji Division.

Is there still a prison for Shen Jiji?
Xu Zhiqiong ordered someone to bring the enchanting demon Liu Xiangping, Li Jie and Luo Hui looked at each other and smiled, this is what the Master Chief likes to do.

Not long after, Li Jie entered the door and said, "My lord, the Charm is here!"

Seeing that there was no one else around Li Jie, Xu Zhiqiong asked, "Where did you take him?"

Li Jie was also stunned: "This, isn't this brought to the elegant room?"

Luo Hui and Li Jie took Liu Xiangping directly to the elegant room on the fourth floor. Xu Zhiqiong didn't understand what he meant, and followed him to the elegant room on the fourth floor. Luo Hui and Li Jie closed the door and stopped at the stairs. , Forbid others to go upstairs to disturb.

Liu Xiangping knelt in the middle of the elegant room, holding a whip in her hand.

Looking at her appearance, she is about twenty years old, wearing a prison uniform and no makeup, but she looks really pretty.

Before Xu Zhiqiong could ask a question, Liu Xiangping handed the whip to Xu Zhiqiong, took off her prison trousers, lifted the hem of her clothes, raised her peaches, and said with her cheek on the ground, "Please punish me, my lord!"

Xu Zhiqiong looked puzzled: "What are you trying to do?"

Liu Xiangping said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, keep the prisoner's life, and you can punish him with any punishment. The prisoner doesn't cry, just count down."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Put on your clothes first, then stand up and answer."

Liu Xiangping didn't dare to get up, but still lowered her head and said: "If the adults don't punish, the prisoner won't dare to stand up! Let's hit a hundred lashes first, and the prisoner will count loudly!"

"I told you to get up, but you couldn't understand!" Xu Zhiqiong's voice was deep and severe.

Liu Xiangping trembled in fright, and stood up tremblingly.

With this little courage, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be a Charm.

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Where are you from? Where do you live? What is your occupation? Why did you become a demon?"

Liu Xiangping didn't dare to speak for a while, Xu Zhiqiong pressed her again and again, but Liu Xiangping just opened her mouth, before she could speak, she burst into tears.

"My lord, don't kill me. The offender knows his mistake, the offender accepts the punishment, sincerely accepts the punishment!"

This is not the first time she has seen Shan Zhongming.

When I saw Shan Zhongming in the past, he was given a hundred lashes first, and then Shan Zhongming was tortured in different ways, and the interrogation was over.

Shan Zhongming once warned her that if one day she no longer wanted to punish her, that would be the day she would be executed.

Liu Xiangping thought she was going to be beheaded, and she was crying unnaturally. After hearing the reason, Xu Zhiqiong first promised not to kill her, gave her a cup of tea, and let her eat some pastries. After she calmed down, he asked about the details.

Liu Xiangping is a woman from Xiejia Village outside the capital. She was married at 21 and widowed at [-]. She is [-] years old this year.

According to the law of Qiancheng, a woman who loses her husband is not allowed to remarry, but must remain a widow for the rest of her life.

Liu Xiangping really stayed by her side, but she didn't want her mother-in-law to hear some rumors that she believed that Liu Xiangping had an affair outside, and went around saying that her daughter-in-law raised someone to steal a man.

It just so happened that Shan Zhong would catch the Charm at the end of next year, and as soon as he heard some rumors, he would immediately confirm the crime and designate Liu Xiangping as the Charm.

The so-called Shan Shushou broke into the demon's lair alone, he broke into the widow's house and captured her alive.

Capturing the master of the magic machine is considered a feat, and he is locked up like this. When will Shan Zhongming remember it, and when will he be brought up for his entertainment.

If you meet someone who is disobedient, disobedient, or who doesn't look right, then kill him with your own hands!

This is the Charm that Shan Zhongming captured with his own hands!
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "How many charm monsters like you are there in the prison?"

Liu Xiangping cried: "The convict woman is a fool, I can't remember, maybe there were a hundred or so, and they were imprisoned for five years at most."

Xu Zhiqiong touched the horns on his chest, Shan Zhongming's horns, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll beat you lightly!"

When Liu Xiangping heard this, she thought she was talking about her, so she quickly knelt on the ground, unbuttoned her prison trousers, lifted the hem of her clothes, and said, "Please punish me, my lord."

Xu Zhiqiong shouted angrily: "Stand up, stand up straight and speak!"

Liu Xiangping shuddered and cried again.

Xu Zhiqiong sighed, softened his tone and said, "I'm afraid I will wrong you for a few more days."

Liu Xiangping was stunned for a long time, not understanding what Xu Zhiqiong meant.

"Go back to the cell, eat well, sleep well, rest well, and wait for justice."

"Fair?" Liu Xiangping couldn't understand these two words.

"Yes, justice!" Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Where there is justice in heaven, there is justice!"

Xu Zhiqiong ordered someone to send Liu Xiangping back to the prison, and ordered Luo Hui and Li Jie to prepare some delicious food for the demons in the prison.

Luo Hui and Li Jie were even more surprised, Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Look at Liu Xiangping, she doesn't even have any flesh on her body, so she doesn't look like a charmer."

Luo Hui and Li Jie understood that the Lord wanted to make them fatter.

The two ordered the kitchen to prepare food, and Xu Zhiqiong continued to read the file.

Shan Zhongming has maintained the habit of catching "charm monsters" all these years since he became the head of the shuji, and every year he arrests a dozen or [-] women.

Why is he so keen on catching succubi?
In addition to his special temperament, there is another reason.

He was afraid that others would compare him with Yuan Chengfeng.

What Yuan Chengfeng caught at the beginning was the real charmer.

This charmer haunted the Northland for more than ten years and killed more than a hundred men.

The last man she killed was Hong Huaxiao, the eldest son of Qiancheng God Lord Hong Juncheng.

This happened 19 years ago.

What did the eldest son of the emperor do in the north 19 years ago?
