Judgement

Chapter 26 Finding Tracks

After listening to Ying Xiaolian's narration, Chen Mengsheng said angrily: "What's the use of such a beast with a human face and heart alive? Miss Ying will definitely give you an explanation when I find out about this matter."

Ying Xiaolian stopped crying: "Your Majesty, Xiaolian wants to ask you one more thing. Lord Wanwang agrees."

"Please speak, girl."

"I would like to ask your lord judge to bring my ashes back to Yangzhou and bury them next to my parents."

"I promise you, you see it's almost five o'clock, I'll send the girl into reincarnation first."

"No, Xiao Lian won't be reincarnated if I haven't seen the fate of the villain."

Chen Mengsheng looked at the sky, and it was almost dawn in the east: "Miss Ying entered this empty wine jar first, it will be dawn soon."

"Thank you for the judge's pity, Ying Xiaolian will always remember the great kindness." A black smoke entered the empty wine jar.

After daybreak, Chen Mengsheng came to Lion Alley, and there was indeed a courtyard with a vermilion lacquer gate as Ying Xiaolian said, with a stone lion on each side of the gate.He stepped forward and knocked on the door, only after a long time did he hear someone from the courtyard come out to open the door.

With a "creak", the door opened a crack.Half of the old man's head poked out: "Who are you looking for?"

"May I ask my husband if this is Bai Qixuan's other courtyard?"

"Hehe, my lord, my little old man's surname is Dong. I bought this courtyard ten years ago from a man surnamed Su. I have lived here for ten years, but I have never heard of a man named Bai Qixuan here. Please, my lord. Go one step further and ask someone else."

Chen Mengsheng saw that what the old man said did not seem to be a lie, so he bowed to the old man Dong and said goodbye.Shishi Hutong is not big, and there are only three or four families living there.Chen Mengsheng knocked on the door one by one, and finally found an old woman before he got some clues.Then Bai Qixuan suddenly moved out 15 years ago and gave this courtyard to a man surnamed Su. No one knows where he moved later.

Chen Mengsheng non-stop rushed to the place of fireworks in Lin'an City - Liulang Wenying.Among the hundreds of brothels in Lin'an City, Yicuilou can be regarded as the top pick.It was the first time for Chen Mengsheng to come to this kind of fireworks place, standing outside the door and being pointed at by the girls upstairs.A young man walked out of the room and sang from a distance, and came towards Chen Mengsheng: "This young man is very strange. Come, come, come in and have a glass of water. The young man has a good girl? What will happen now?" Zi'er and the girls haven't all gotten up yet." After speaking, the boy was about to pull Chen Mengsheng, but Chen Mengsheng pushed the boy far away with his backhand, and sat down on the ground.The girls watching upstairs laughed coquettishly, and all poked at Chen Mengsheng.

"I'm here to find someone."

"Oh, what a strong young master, I don't know which girl the young master is looking for?" The old bustard greeted him with a big teapot.

"I'm looking for Xu Siniang." Chen Mengsheng saw that the old bustard in front of him was only in his forties, so it shouldn't be Xu Siniang.

"Go...go...go, we...here...no...no...Xu Si...mother." The big teapot Ganqing still stuttered.When the old bustard heard Xu Siniang's three words, her face was shocked, she was still smiling like a peach blossom just now, and suddenly became as strict as a knife frost.

"My lord, if you come to Yicui Tower to have fun, I welcome it. If you only come to look for Xu Siniang, Wangcai will see you off. Hmph!"

The boy who got up on the ground and rubbed his ass shouted sharply: "Get out, get out." Chen Mengsheng glared at the boy, and Wangcai shrank his neck in fright and followed the bustard and the big teapot back to Yicui Building.

What's going on here?Bai Qixuan disappeared?Can't find Siniang Xu? How should the public case from 15 years ago be resolved? ... Chen Mengsheng was thinking as he walked, and when Chen Mengsheng was at a loss, someone behind him called softly: "Young master, please stay." A girl in her 20s stopped Chen Mengsheng.

"Ru Hua has met you, Young Master, please come with me." Ru Hua looked around and saw that no one was paying attention before she walked, and Chen Mengsheng followed behind.The two of them didn't stop until they reached the Su Causeway. "Young master, Ruhua was sold into Yicui Building at the age of 12. Fortunately, Mother Xu took pity on her and took her as a young man. Later, something happened to Xu's mother. Yicui Building is no longer the former Yicui Building. I don't know why you are looking for Xu Mama. Why?"

"Miss Ruhua, Chen Mengsheng came to Xu's mother for a public case 15 years ago."

"Ah... also because of 15 years? Who are you?" Ruhua suddenly became very nervous.

"Girl, don't worry, I just want to seek justice for the person who was wronged and died 15 years ago. Don't ask me who I am, girl."

Ruhua looked at Chen Mengsheng's Zhongzheng face, so he didn't look like a bad guy, so she said, "Young master, go to Caihe Village in the north of Lin'an City to find Xu Siniang. The first household by the east well of Caihe Village is the one. Ruhua bids her farewell, sir. It can also give Xu Siniang justice."

Chen Mengsheng looked at Ruhua going away, full of puzzlement in his heart, maybe he will know what happened 15 years ago only when he finds Xu Siniang.It was already dark when we arrived at Caihe Village. Fortunately, there was only one well in the east of the village, and there was only one family beside the well.

The door was knocked three times, and an old woman in the room responded.Opening the crack of the door, he saw the light of a candle coming slowly, and heard the sound of the door opening, Chen Mengsheng took a look. "Ah..." Chen Mengsheng was really taken aback by that man.It is said that only people who scare people can scare people to death. Chen Mengsheng has seen many souls of dead people in the Netherworld, such as those with blue faces and fangs, red hair and blue eyes, with tongues hanging out... but they are not as scary as the people in front of them.The man's hair was thin, and his blood-red scalp was exposed in many places.The uneven muscles on the face were turned outward, the eyelids and lips of the eyes were already a few pieces of skin left, and there were only a few teeth left in the mouth, and the cheeks on both sides were shrunk into a ball of orange peel.

"Hehe, Si Niang must have scared the young master."

"Old man, what's wrong with your face?"

"Scared you, I'm sorry. What's the matter, young master?"

"I came here for a koan 15 years ago."

"It's because of what happened 15 years ago again? Well, didn't Xu Siniang say it all in prison? Are you an official?"

"Chen Mengsheng is not an official post. I want to find out this matter because she has a suffering and wants me to give her justice."

Xu Siniang thought for a moment and said, "Go into the room and talk."

Chen Mengsheng entered the house and saw that there was only one bed and one stove in the house. The furnishings in the house were dilapidated but neatly arranged.Xu Siniang poured a bowl of tea and put it on the table, and said, "I don't know who entrusted the young master?"

"The sufferer should be entrusted by Xiao Lian."

"Ah, injustice, injustice. Who are you? How could you be entrusted by her?"

"Si Niang, to tell you the truth, I am the judge of the underworld in Yangjian."

Xu Siniang laughed: "Judge? Don't the gods know?"

Chen Mengsheng said sternly: "The good and evil in the world are only known by God Lord Yama. After death, the Fourth Division of the Nether World and Yan Luo will judge." After speaking, Chen Mengsheng took out the book of life and death from his arms and wrote down the words "Xu Siniang" with a judge's pen , in the book of life and death, there are words such as the time of birth and death, a lifetime of goodness, and many disasters...

After reading it, Chen Mengsheng said: "Si Niang, you are a kind person, you can live to be a hundred years old."

Xu Siniang said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, look at me now, is it interesting to live another 40 years?"

"Since you are a good person, let me help you change your appearance." Putting back the judge's pen in the book of life and death, Chen Mengsheng formed a formula with his right hand, and silently recited the "Mantra of Manna" in his heart.With a flick of the middle finger, he shouted "Disease", and a green light shot towards Xu Siniang.

Xu Siniang felt like thousands of insects were biting her body: "Young master, please avoid it for a while, the old man just feels itchy and wants to change clothes." Chen Mengsheng closed the door with a nod and went outside.In the room, Xu Siniang's head was so itchy that she couldn't bear it anymore. She scratched a large piece of scalp and it fell off, revealing her shiny new hair.Scratching his face with itchy hands, the pimple-turned-out face was ripped off...

About the work of a cup of tea, Xu Siniang opened the door and said to Chen Mengsheng: "Thank you, Mr. Judge, for your kindness of rebuilding. Xu Siniang is very grateful." After saying that, she knelt down to worship, and Chen Mengsheng helped her up.

"You are a person who does good deeds, and I have helped you return to your 40th year. It's just that life and death are determined by God, and you still have 15 years to live. Si Niang, please quickly tell me what happened in [-] years."

"Yes, Si Niang didn't know that Feng Qingzhi was the daughter of Ying Tianxiong, governor of Yangzhou, until one day..."
