Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 91
Shi Cheng is the prison, and the prison is a seventh-rank meditator of the underworld, and also a seventh-rank official in the Hall of Yama.

Shi Cheng was in charge of a side hall in the Hall of Yama, and under his command were eight eight-rank jailers and sixty-four nine-rank wardens.

He called all his subordinates together and began to review the cases one by one.

Xu Zhiqiong sat aside, eating wine and roast chicken, waiting for the ticket.

Among the four girls in Yuling Pavilion, one rubbed Xu Zhiqiong's shoulders, one beat Xu Zhiqiong's legs, one sang a song for Xu Zhiqiong, and the other played an instrument for Xu Zhiqiong.

This girl can play, and she plays the instrument really well.

Xu Zhiqiong sighed secretly, thank goodness Xia Hu didn't follow.

After an hour, the review of the verdict was over, and I had to admire Xia Hu's professional ability. According to her verdict, Xu Zhiqiong deserved a total of [-] and a half meritorious service.

After Shi Cheng's review, Xu Zhiqiong counted [-] meritorious deeds, with a deviation of only four and a half, which is quite accurate.

In fact, Xia Hu's calculation was not wrong at all. The four and a half pieces were made up for Xu Zhiqiong by Shi Cheng. Such customers must be taken care of.

Shi Cheng put a thick stack of vouchers on the case table: "Judge Ma, fifty-two vouchers, please take care of them! You have taken care of them!"

Xu Zhiqiong got up and said: "Shi Dian Prison, today is a good day, we brothers have to have a drink!"

"One cup won't do! You need three cups!" Shi Cheng picked up the wine glass and said, "Brothers, hold up all the wine glasses! Toast the magistrate!"

Everyone said in unison: "Respect the magistrate!"

This is respect from the heart, because Judge Ma has brought tangible benefits.

After drinking, Xu Zhiqiong said goodbye, and Shi Cheng still had to be busy.

He first tore apart the sutures on everyone's mouths. As soon as Wen Zhu Sipin opened his mouth, he cursed: "How dare you humiliate me like this, you lowly Xuanguo people?"

Shi Cheng was taken aback: "Your accent doesn't sound like my publicist?"

The fourth grade of Mantis shouted: "We are from Da Yu, you are Xuan Guo's secret agent, you can't touch us!"

"So that's what happened? I've been wronged, I've been wronged," Shi Cheng apologized again and again, "Why don't you just make do with me, and I'll let you all know about Da Yu later Prison, if he is willing to kowtow to me a few times, I can let him see you,
But we agreed in advance that we can only meet once. Since you were arrested in Daxuan, you still have to serve your sentence here! "

Hearing the words, the four fourth-ranks scolded sharply: "Crazy! You dare to offend my Da Yu Shenwei, but you don't know how to die?"

The four ran while talking, and Shi Cheng drew a circle, Nine-Rank Skill, drawing the ground as a prison, trapping these four people firmly.

In the underworld, don't fight against the underworld, no matter the living or the dead, this is common sense that must be possessed.

Shi Cheng turned around and told his subordinates: "I told you all to stop idle, the guys are all ready, don't neglect others! Heat up the oil pan, and the copper pillars will also burn."

Burning copper pillars, this is to be baked.

One of the executioners said: "Prisoner, the verdict doesn't say that there was any burning."

"Stupid!" Shi Cheng scolded angrily, "This is Da Yu's honored guest, we have to take good care of him, the frying pan is what we deserve, and the roasting is my gift!"

……

Xu Zhiqiong left Fengdu City, Xia Hu waited anxiously outside, the two hurried all the way back to the Department of Punishment, and went straight to the Shangxun Building.

Right now, it's not the time to be joking in Judgment Pavilion, Xia Hu's tone is very serious: "After exchanging merits, hurry up and leave, don't keep any more, [-] merits, I don't know how many people are thinking about them."

Xu Zhiqiong was also very nervous. He picked up the vouchers and put them on the stone platform one by one. Xia Hu prepared two pockets in advance. With the ticket, Xia Hu has five more points of merit in his pocket.

After a while, the fifty-two chapters were redeemed by ticket, Xu Zhiqiong got [-] points of merit, and Xia Hu got [-] points of merit.

"Officer, we are destined for this fate, and we have to rely on you to take care of the business in the future!"

When they arrived at the fork in the road, Xia Hu happily wanted to go back to the Judgment Pavilion, but riding a white horse alone stopped the two of them from going.

It's really unlucky, at such a critical moment, they met Feng Jing'an, Shaoqing, the Secretary of Punishment.

Xu Zhiqiong cursed in his heart: This bitch!

Xia Hu couldn't help shivering, why did Feng Shaoqing suddenly appear?

In the dense fog, Xia Hu saw two slim figures.

It's the two new female pushers.

It was these two coquettish sluts who sued Feng Shaoqing!
Feng Jing'an pointed at the two with a horsewhip and said, "What are you carrying?"

Xu Zhiqiong's heart tightened, but a smile appeared on his face: "Feng Shaoqing, I carried some betrothal gifts for Xia Tuiguan."

"bride price?"

"Since the two of us got acquainted, we have been sincere to each other. We have done everything we need to do, and it is almost time to get married."

"Married?" Feng Jing'an looked at Xia Hu, "What kind of betrothal gifts are they?"

Xia Hu laughed again and again: "Back to Shaoqing, it's nothing valuable, just a little grain and eggs. Ma Shangfeng is a poor man, so I don't pick him."

"How bold!" Feng Jing'an shouted, "How dare you talk glibly in front of me? Are you carrying meritorious deeds?"

Xia Hu didn't dare to make a sound, Xu Zhiqiong laughed repeatedly: "Where are so many meritorious deeds, it's just a little food."

"Ma Shangfeng, you really don't know how to live or die. You are about to be promoted to the eighth rank, but you dare to hide so many meritorious deeds. Open your pocket and show me. If the number of meritorious deeds exceeds one hundred, I will immediately abolish your cultivation."

Hearing this, Xia Hu was in despair. Feng Shaoqing said that there was never room for negotiation when he said that a person's cultivation should be disabled.

Xu Zhiqiong was still calm, thinking about countermeasures.

Open it for him to see?
Never open it.

Opening it is tantamount to pleading guilty.

He touched the firewood stick behind him.

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and said, "Feng Shaoqing, here is really a little food, so don't make things difficult for us."

Xia Hu said in a trembling voice: "Feng Shaoqing, we are a pair of poor people, and it would be embarrassing to show such a betrothal gift. Please hold us high and spare us."

"You still dare to argue! Xia Hu, you are getting more and more presumptuous!" Feng Jing'an's horse whipped her as soon as the words fell.

The fifth-rank judge, the move was really quick, Xu Zhiqiong only heard the sound of the wind, and the whip had already hit Xia Hu.

This blow was so strong that Xia Hu's clothes were pulled open, and a hole was torn on his shoulder. Xia Hu didn't even dare to make a sound.

Feng Jingan whipped Xu Zhiqiong's face back with a whip. Xu Zhiqiong took out a firewood stick, jumped in the air, and hit Feng Jingan on the head.

It's all over, Xu Zhiqiong doesn't have any scruples, if he can hit him, it's a profit.

The question is, can you hit it this time.

Feng Jing'an is at the fifth rank, Xu Zhiqiong is at the ninth rank, the gap between them is bigger than the Milky Way.

The whip was still as fast as the wind, but what I didn't expect was that Xu Zhiqiong's firewood stick was as fast as lightning.

The whip was still in the air, and Xu Zhiqiong's firewood stick had already hit Feng Jing'an on the head.

Snapped!A crisp sound!
Feng Jingan's crown was knocked off, and blood flowed down the mask.

Xia Hu was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the scene in front of her.

The two female pushers in the distance cried out in fright.

Is Ma Shangfeng crazy?Dare to beat Feng Shaoqing?

How could he be able to beat Feng Shaoqing as a rank nine mortal official?

Feng Jing'an roared: "Ma Shangfeng, I want your life!"

He pulled out his saber from his waist, taking advantage of the effort to draw the sword, Xu Zhiqiong jumped up and hit another stick.

It's still the beginning, Xu Zhiqiong's firewood stick hasn't been broken yet, the master said back then that the firewood stick should be broken.

Feng Shaoqing raised his long sword, and Xu Zhiqiong struck again, still in the head.

Feng Shaoqing slashed down with his long sword, Xu Zhiqiong dodged the long sword, picked up the firewood stick, and then hit the head.

Xu Zhiqiong, who was holding a firewood stick, was much faster than Feng Shaoqing. Feng Shaoqing raised his sword again, and Xu Zhiqiong continued to lead. After seven or eight blows in a row, the firewood stick finally broke.

Now how to do?
Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about countermeasures with half a firewood stick, when Feng Shaoqing fell off his horse.

He was knocked out.

Two lines of tears slipped from the mask.

He was beaten and cried.

Feng Shaoqing had never been wronged like this since entering the Criminal Punishment Division.

"Ma Shangfeng, if I don't kill you, I swear I won't be human!" Feng Jing'an shouted and rushed forward.

Xu Zhiqiong swung half of the firewood stick and wanted to strike again, when suddenly a silver light flashed from the firewood stick.

The silver light shone on Feng Jingan's body and turned into a rope, binding Feng Jingan so that he could not move.

Feng Jing'an struggled for a moment, the rope kept tightening, and Feng Jing'an's breath was cut off.

It wasn't until the silver light returned to the firewood stick that Feng Jing'an finally took a breath.

He raised his long sword, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, thought for a moment, then put down the sword again.

He was arrogant, but not stupid. Seeing this firewood stick, he knew that Xu Zhiqiong had a very powerful character behind him.

"You, you wait for me!" Feng Jing'an turned and left, her voice was a bit vague, it seemed to be mixed with two sobs.

The two coquettish pushers ran away and disappeared into the thick fog in the blink of an eye.

Xia Hu punched Xu Zhiqiong hard: "Why are you crazy? How dare you attack Shaoqing?"

Xu Zhiqiong touched the scar on Xia Hu's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Who told him to hit you?"

Xia Hu shivered.

Not only the body is trembling, but the heart is also trembling.

He is for me...

Xu Zhiqiong said naively: "The officials and the lady have called, even if it's a business, you won't be allowed to be bullied."

Xia Hu shuddered again.

These words... are you sincere?

Seeing Xia Hu in a daze, Xu Zhiqiong took the opportunity to ask for a bargain, and patted Fat Tao: "Come on, go back to Judgment Pavilion for meritorious service, if he dares to come to you, you can come to me, and I will beat him up." Just take it!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiqiong left the Department of Punishment with meritorious service on his back.

Looking at Xu Zhiqiong's back, Xia Hu was trembling all the time.

……

Back home, the Taoist priest was still waiting in the yard. Xu Zhiqiong put down the bag and waited for the Taoist priest to leave.

Daochang sighed: "I know that you want to improve your cultivation, so you won't pursue this matter anymore. It's my fault when I say it. I didn't explain some things clearly to you. This eighth grade, this, this, this, why is it so important? A lot more!"

Originally thought that Xu Zhiqiong had hidden more than [-] meritorious deeds, but when he opened his pocket, he found that there were more than [-] golden beans inside.

"Okay, you're almost at the seventh rank! Enemy, do you know what kind of crime this is?"

Xu Zhiqiong straightened his waist and said, "Disciple thinks that this is not a crime! Disciple punishes evil and eradicates evil, dare to say that I have a clear conscience!"

Xu Zhiqiong told the story of the previous battle with Liang Yuming, and the Taoist priest heard the words, and his anger disappeared.

"Just entering the Taoist sect, I am not afraid of the rich and powerful, and dare to fight to the death for the principles of heaven. I have not misunderstood you as a teacher! You keep these meritorious deeds, and I will not punish you. I will directly take you to the seventh rank today, but I will only give you seven Grade [-] cultivation base and seventh grade physique, I won’t give you seventh grade skills.”

Only give basic attributes, not skills?
What's the point of this?
This is not a complete promotion!

The Taoist leader gave an explanation: "Zhiqiong, do you know why my Taoist master has imposed a restriction on the eighth rank? It is because some utilitarian people from my Taoist sect only confess their sins and do not ask right and wrong, and they kill without restraint. , so as to go astray and fall into evil ways,

It is not easy to practice the eighth rank, it is just to hone your state of mind, if you want to obtain the seventh rank skills, you have to promise me one thing, you will get three meritorious service as the eighth rank guide book. "
