Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 981 Fire in the Backyard
Li Shabai looked down at Sui Zhi.

No matter whether he is dressed as Ju Chi or Yuan E Xing, he can't escape Li Shabai's eyes.

Li Shabai knew that something big was going to happen in the capital, so he made Mie Shifang ready in advance.

With He Fang's help, Mi Shifang arranged a scroll in Canglong Hall, and Li Shabai used this scroll to erase the altar irreversibly.

Now Li Shabai picked up the paintbrush, ready to accept Sui Zhi: "Sui Shilang, it seems that you got something good, and now you pretend to be Yuan'e star, and you will lose your dignity."

Sui Zhi laughed and said, "Painter Li is not what it used to be."

Li Shabai shook his head and said: "I just want to get back some of my previous capital. It's not like Sui Shilang made so much money. Now it should be called Yuan'e Su."

Sui Zhi looked at Han Chen in the distance, then at Liang Yushen beside him, then turned to Li Shabai and said, "It seems that we have to decide the outcome today."

Li Shabai sighed: "The outcome is hard to tell for a while, we might as well decide for life and death, this way it will be clearer."

Liang Yushen yelled at Li Shabai: "Traitor! When Daxuan is in danger, why did you destroy the sacrificial ceremony? Take your life!"

After speaking, Liang Yushen flew into the air and was about to rush towards Li Shabai.

Sui Zhi suddenly heard a low voice: "Leave quickly!"

Hearing this sound, Sui Zhi didn't dare to delay, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Sui Zhi was gone, Liang Yushen was shocked, he was not the opponent of Li Shabai and Han Chen, so he hurried back to Canglong Hall.

Han Chen followed Sui Zhi's breath, and Li Shabai also disappeared.

In front of the gate of the Canglong Palace, the strong wind stopped, and the onlookers who escaped from the strong wind scattered and fled in all directions. The police officers of the Imperial City Division, the Criminal Department and the Jingzhao Mansion, who were in charge of maintaining order, hurriedly led the crowd away.

Inside the Canglong Hall, Liang Jixiong looked at the altar that had turned into paper ashes all over the floor, with a dignified expression.

Emperor Chang Le asked cautiously: "How is the ceremony?"

The situation of the ceremony is obvious, if the altar is gone, it must have failed.

But since the emperor asked, there must be an answer.

Liang Yushen reported: "Your Majesty, Li Shabai, the senior official of Zishan, and Han Chen, the chief minister of Yin and Yang, sabotaged the sacrificial ceremony and angered the true god when the country was in danger. Their intentions are vicious and their crimes cannot be pardoned. I believe that they should be arrested for the crime of collaborating with the enemy! "

"Han Chen and Li Shabai?" Emperor Chang Le asked in surprise, "What has this matter to do with them?"

Han Chen used the magic circle in advance, the conversation between Li Shabai, Han Chen, Sui Zhi, and Liang Yushen, ordinary people could not hear or see, they only heard Liang Yushen shout a few times, but even these few times , Emperor Chang Le also pretended not to hear.

It's not that he deliberately shielded Li Shabai and Han Chen, but that there seems to be something else hidden about this matter, but Emperor Chang Le can't see the clue for the time being.

Liang Yushen saw that Emperor Chang Le refused to admit it, and turned to look at Liang Jixiong.

Liang Jixiong was not an ordinary person, even if he couldn't hear their conversation just now, he could still sense the aura of a strong man.

After a long silence, Liang Jixiong slowly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, please move back to the palace. The matter here will be handled by the old minister."

Emperor Chang Le took everyone away, Liang Yushen was still full of resentment: "Li Shabai and Han Chen are definitely suspected of collaborating with the enemy, this matter must be dealt with strictly!"

Liang Jixiong looked at Liang Yushen, and asked, "I was in the wind just now, and I smelled a little fishy and salty, as if someone from the Gu clan had come."

Liang Yushen didn't change his face when he heard the words: "The subordinates have never noticed."

"The fishy smell is not the same as that of the Gu clan. Could it be that there are gluttonous cultivators?"

"The subordinates didn't notice either."

Liang Jixiong sighed: "This is strange. Han Chen's cultivation is at the peak of the world, and Li Shabai's cultivation is already above the mortal world. Since they want to destroy the sacrificial ceremony, no one here can stop them, but why are they stalemate outside the hall?" How long has it been?"

Liang Yushen said: "It must be the blessings of our Taoist stars."

This explanation is reasonable. During the ceremony, Liang Jixiong also heard some voices.

But as a result of the blessing, the altar was still destroyed.

Could it be that Xingxiu can't beat Li Shabai and Han Chen?
Liang Jixiong pondered for a long time, and said to Liang Yushen: "You go and rest first, I have something to discuss with Liu Dianwei alone."

Liang Yushen left with all the palace guards, leaving only Liang Jixiong and Liang Yuyao in the main hall.

Liang Yuyao asked: "Old Ancestor, do you want to make up a sacrificial ceremony? I'll prepare it right away."

"How can we make up the sacrifice at will, after the hour, we need to wait for the oracle," Liang Jixiong sighed, and asked, "Yuyao, do you have a way to contact Zhiqiong?"

Liang Yuyao said: "Just write a letter to Zhiqiong, the emperor has the means to contact him."

Liang Jixiong lowered his face and said, "I didn't mention the emperor, I asked about the means between you two."

"There is no means between us, we are innocent..."

Liang Jixiong lowered his face and said: "Now that you are the Canglong Guard, how dare you be as presumptuous as before! Do you have no rules when you are in the Canglong Palace?"

Liang Yuyao bit her lip and said, "Old Ancestor, what does this have to do with Zhiqiong..."

On the roof of the main hall of the Canglong Palace, a man stood on it without arousing anyone's notice.

He came to find Sui Zhi.

He stroked the mountain-shaped beard on his chin, frowned slightly and said, "He walked quite fast, this bird swallowed the soul of Taotie, and he really became a star.
Where did he put the rest?If he eats one piece every now and then, he should become a god in a short time. "

Xue Yun received the news from Xu Zhiqiong and rushed to the Canglong Palace, but unfortunately he was a step late.

Xu Zhiqiong stood on the Naihe Bridge, broadcasting Sui Zhi's location to Xue Yun at any time.

He saw Ju Chi devouring an unknown object in an extremely cold place, and quickly guessed that he was devouring the remains of Tao Tie.

After Xue Yun received the prayer and chased him to the extremely cold place, Ju Chi had disappeared.

The pictures on the Wangxiang Terrace were interrupted, and the longer the viewing time, the more serious the interruptions. Xu Zhiqiong waited for a long time, but he could only get a flash of the picture.

When he saw Ju Chi again, the other party had turned into Yuan E star and appeared in Canglong Hall.

Xue Yun chased him to the Canglong Palace, but he still escaped.

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to continue tracking the position of Xingyuan'e star, but there was a fog on the lookout platform. No matter how long Xu Zhiqiong waited, he couldn't wait for another picture.

"Why can't I see him?"

Miss Meng said from the side: "Are you here to watch a play? How long do you want to watch?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Does Wangxiang Terrace still have a time limit?"

Miss Meng sneered and said: "If you don't limit the time, you will stay here and not leave, but don't you use me as a shed with a fence, and everyone come here to watch a play?"

"How long is the time limit?"

"It stands to reason that you are only allowed to look at it once, and you can suck it up to three or five times. You are a judge with a high level of cultivation, and I will let you look at it a few more times, but it is definitely not good for you to keep looking at it like this.

Come back in a few days, if Wangxiang Terrace can't remember you, it should let you look at it a few more times. "

Wangxiang Terrace still has such spirituality.

Xu Zhiqiong was helpless, got off the Naihe Bridge, and was about to go to the Canglong Palace to see what happened, when he suddenly felt the painting trembling on his chest, he didn't need to take it out, he knew it was Xia Hu when he sensed it with his spirituality.

Xu Zhiqiong first went back to the Qiancheng Punishment Division, and when he saw Xia Hu, he hugged him and said, "Have you finally figured it out, lady?"

"Thinking about what?"

"Another way, my lady, have you figured it out? I'll go get some grease."

"No!" Xia Hu desperately broke free from Xu Zhiqiong's arms, "Let's talk about the business first, the matter of He Sanmei has been found out."

Xu Zhiqiong took a deep breath.

The East Tuyin Division lost someone, why did it find out in the Punishment Division?
What worried Xu Zhiqiong the most happened.

There is a question of judges here.

Xia Hu sent the parties before Xu Zhiqiong, one was Xiao Qirong, who was in charge of the Yin Division, and the other was Sun Xufeng, the eighth-rank judge.

Asked about the details, the matter is quite simple, Xiao Qirong is mainly in charge of hard labor in the prison, and is a supervisor, monitoring the work of the souls who do not need to be punished for the time being.

Yuan Chengfeng was tortured for eight hours a day, and He Sanmei was tortured for three hours a day. During the rest of the sentence, the two were under the care of Xiao Qirong, and they usually served hard labor together.

Xiao Qirong didn't know what happened between them, but when he went out to build a road, he happened to meet Sun Xufeng, an eighth-rank judge. He fell in love with He Sanmei and said that he didn't like anything else, but the one on her peach. that tail.

Sanmei He is punished, so she can't take servants at will, and Sanmei He is not satisfied if her crimes are less than three inches.

If you want to reduce your sin karma, you have to go to a doctor who rewards goodness. Bai Yueshan can't spare her a ghost like He Sanmei, and it's useless to go, but Sun Xufeng didn't give up. Relying on his acquaintance with Xiao Qirong, the two secretly After making a deal, Sun Xufeng bought the dead soul from Xiao Qirong with 200 taels of silver plus fifteen meritorious service.

If you were in another Yin Division, you would never dare to do this kind of thing. The rosters in the hands of the prison and the capital officials are very complete, and they have to reconcile the account every three or two months, and there is no way to do business without a dead soul.

The East Tuyin Division has been neglected for many years, and they are used to being undisciplined. Xiao Qirong, who was in charge of the punishment, didn't even think it was a big deal.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded, looked at Sun Xufeng and said, "Okay, it's a secret, no one knows about it?"

Sun Xufeng bowed his head and said nothing, Xia Hu said from the side: "Ning Yongwei found out about this matter, and he once informed Wang Derao, the man who criticized him."

"Where is Wang Derao, call him and Ning Yongwei together!"

Xia Hu called the two of them over and told what had happened.

Ning Yongwei found out that Sun Xufeng bought a ghost and came back, and found that something was wrong, so he told the critic Wang Derao about it.

After Wang Derao's interrogation, he thought that Sun Xufeng had nothing to do with this matter, so he said a few words in front of Ning Yongwei, and it was over.

Xu Zhiqiong was furious: "This is nothing wrong?"

The judges joined by Wang Derao and Ning Yongwei are usually shrewd and capable, and their cultivation base grows quickly, they are considered outstanding among their peers.

Seeing that Ma Changshi was angry, he didn't dare to hide it, and told the truth directly: "I know Sun Xufeng well, and I don't think the matter of buying servants is a big mistake, so I let him go."

"Whether it's a big mistake or not is up to you to decide!" Xu Zhiqiong yelled angrily, then rubbed his forehead instead.

He forgot Xue Yun's words.

When money is abundant, repair Yilangyuan outside the Department of Punishment, there are bloody lessons here!
Xu Zhiqiong didn't understand Xue Yun's meaning at first, but now he has learned a lesson.

They are right and wrong, they can't have too much contact with other judges, otherwise it will breed favoritism!
Is Xu Zhiqiong short of money?
No shortage!

He ignored it!

He stepped forward and grabbed Sun Xufeng and said, "Who ordered you to buy Sanmei He as a servant?"

Xu Zhiqiong used the mantra.

Sun Xufeng said with a pale face: "Master Changshi, I dare not lie to you, no one instructed, I just like it in my heart."

"How dare you lie to me?" Xu Zhiqiong pinned Sun Xufeng to the ground and kicked him.

Sun Xufeng cried: "Ma Changshi, really no one ordered me, I just like her tail."

Judging from the mantra, he did not lie.

"Then how did she escape?"

"I brought her home, and she served me for two nights. On the third day, I went out to do business and disappeared when I came back. This servant did not follow the rules, and I didn't dare to say anything. It's over."
