At what age are you still being a traditional monster?

Jin Shunping looked at the hall, and said: "Is there anyone else in the hall who is also like this, come to the hall."

After a while, the courtroom was densely packed with kneeling people.

Jin Shunping's face was livid, and he glanced at Jin Hongying with anger, but the latter dared not raise his head.

"You were all trampled by this woman's horse, but you are going to sue this woman?" Jin Shunping said while supporting his forehead.

Everyone in the hall headed by Sun Er said: "Actually, the little people don't dare to make a big deal out of a molehill, but I'm afraid this young lady is unwilling to compensate."

Jin Hongying stood up and said, "How could I not compensate you? Since my horse trampled on your things, I will definitely not renege on my debt!"

"Kneel down, do I allow you to stand up?"

Following Jin Shunping's roar, Jin Hongying knelt down aggrieved.

Jin Shunping sighed again: "Since this woman is willing to compensate, are you willing to be private?"

Everyone whispered to each other for a while, and said: "That would be the best."

After saying that, Jin Shunping ordered people to count the losses of the people, and sent a few accountants to settle the accounts, but in the end it was calculated that Jin Hongying should pay everyone 100 taels of silver.

Hearing this number, Jin Shunping felt pain in his heart, and soon after he took office, he was about to take out his family's money to pay for it.

"The judge ordered her to compensate you a total of one hundred taels of silver. You all come up and sign the settlement, and then you all go home. The servants of the government will deliver the silver for compensation to your door."

Everyone jumped for joy, went up to sign, and went home.

Before leaving, everyone came to Lin Xu to thank him.

"Thank you sir."

"Thank you, Daoist. If Daoist hadn't stood up for us, we were really afraid of offending that young lady, so we wouldn't dare to ask for compensation."

"Yes, if the Taoist priest has a kind heart, there must be blessings."

Lin Xu bid farewell to everyone one by one, said "nothing" to many people, seeing that the matter was over, all the onlookers dispersed, Lin Xu also turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that there were no onlookers left, Jin Shunping immediately called Lin Xu to stop.

Lin Xu thought, this master is going to settle the score with me?

At this time, there were no outsiders left in the courtroom, Jin Hongying stood up, and softly said to Jin Shunping, "Father..."

Only then did Lin Xu know that the woman in red was the daughter of the sheriff, but the sheriff did not favor his daughter, although it was useless to explain the relationship in public, but he compensated everyone, and he had a good impression of Jin Shunping in his heart.

Jin Shunping glared at her, walked straight to Lin Xu, and asked, "I wonder if I have met the Taoist priest?"

Lin Xu looked at Jin Shunping, shook his head and said, "I don't have any impression of the poor."

Jin Shunping frowned, looked at the Taoist robe Lin Xu was wearing, and said: "A few days ago, my official hadn't come here to take up his post yet, so I wanted to make a casual visit, but unexpectedly, I ran into a black shop and was raped by sweat medicine. A Taoist saved me."

Lin Xu thought for a while and finally remembered that Jin Shunping was the man who threw the bowl that day, but Lin Xu thought that the man was just a reckless man, but he didn't expect it to be a county guard.

"It is you."

Seeing Lin Xu remembering, Jin Shunping said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a Taoist priest. It's no wonder that he is a cultivator with a warm heart. Today, the little girl made a big mistake, and the Taoist priest is willing to stand up for the people. I admire you."

"I didn't know she was the daughter of the county sheriff." Lin Xu said something.

Jin Shunping changed the topic, "This matter is over, Hongying, come to pay respects to benefactor."

That Jin Hongying never thought that the Taoist who targeted her was actually her father's savior, so she hesitated for a long time before saluting: "Little girl Hongying has met benefactor, thank you benefactor for saving my father's life."

Lin Xu smiled and waved his hands, "Do as you please, don't worry about it."

Jin Shunping looked at Lin Xu and said, "Is this face of benefactor related to what happened that day?"

Lin Xu also borrowed the donkey from the slope and said: "There was a fight that day, but there were a few scars left, so it's inconvenient to see people."

Jin Shunping said: "Then you need me to send a doctor to take a look on your behalf?"

Lin Xu said: "It doesn't matter, Shanren has his own way of repairing it, so you don't have to worry about it, Lord Sheriff."

Jin Shunping nodded, and continued: "I don't know what's going on with those strong men. After I left that day, I came to Pingshun Mansion non-stop to take up my post. I wanted to send someone to arrest those strong men, but the person who sent them said that place had been captured. Burnt clean."

Lin Xu said: "Naturally, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil."

Jin Shunping nodded, and didn't pursue it further, but instead asked: "I don't know if my benefactor came to my Pingshun Mansion to visit relatives or friends?"

"Just passing by."

Jin Shunping said: "It must be inconvenient for benefactor to bear this appearance, why not come to my house to rest for a few days, and it will be convenient for me to repay my kindness."

Lin Xu thought about it for a while, but he didn't refuse, and said: "If that's the case, then the poor Taoist will thank the governor first."

There are still a large number of ghosts in my ruler who have not been sent to the underworld. In the past, the town god of Ping'an County was not expected to come, but the county town god of Pingshun Prefecture should have something to do this time.

Besides, Lin Xu followed Jin Shunping's carriage to the sheriff's mansion, and Jin Shunping arranged a separate courtyard for him, leaving only a few servants to take care of him. This is also because most Taoist priests like Lin Xu like to be quiet.

It was getting late at the moment, Lin Xu was lying on the bed, thinking that if it would be inconvenient to go to Chenghuang Temple in broad daylight because of the crowds and crowds, it would be better to go at night, but there is a curfew in Pingshun Mansion.

After thinking about it, Lin Xu knocked on Jin Shunping's study door.

"Enter."

When Lin Xu entered, Jin Shunping was still writing something, when he saw that Lin Xu had come, he put down his pen and said, "Is there something to do with your benefactor?"

"Pindao has something to go to Chenghuang Temple, but I heard that there is a curfew in Pingshun Mansion, so I'm here to ask the governor to make it easier."

Jin Shunping asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with Engong going to the Town God's Temple at night?"

Lin Xu said: "Go and visit."

visit?Who to visit?City God.

Although Jin Shunping was puzzled, but when it came to Lin Xu's extraordinary behavior in the black shop in the past, he immediately thought of the ghosts and ghosts, and now he respected Lin Xu's tone even more, so he called his butler.

"You take Engong to the Temple of the City God."

Lin Xu didn't really want anyone to follow him, so he said, "I've already found the right place during the day, so I won't bother others to lead the way."

Jin Shunping said: "It's not to lead the way, but if you meet the patrolling yamen servants, they will recognize me as the housekeeper, and they will be easy to talk to."

After hearing this, Lin Xu could only agree, and immediately followed the housekeeper out of the house.

Chapter 33 Place the Ghosts

Jin Shunping's butler was an old man with graying hair on his temples, but his body was still strong. He carried a lantern but walked steadily in front of Lin Xu.

On the streets under the curfew in Shunping Prefecture, there is no other light except for a little candlelight from the windows of every house.

There is a faint light floating in front, and it is just a patrolling yamen servant.

The old housekeeper did everything right, before the yamen servant could open his mouth, he had already stepped forward and said something.

The yamen servants looked at Lin Xu and stepped aside, the old butler led Lin Xu all the way to the Town God's Temple.

"Daoist, please come in, I will stay outside." The old housekeeper knew Lin Xu's thoughts very well, and said deliberately.

Lin Xu nodded and went straight into the Town God's Temple.

The county town god's temple is indeed much larger than the county town god's. The town god's temple in Ping'an County is just an earthen temple, while the town god's temple in Pingshun Prefecture has three side halls on the left and right, and a main hall in the middle.

Pushing open the gate of the main hall, Lin Xu immediately felt the wind blowing. There are several statues on both sides of the main hall, in order of which are civil and military judges, day and night wandering gods, ghost king Yaksha, and the innermost one is of course the purple-robed and golden-crowned City God.

"Who is coming!"

With a sound from nowhere, all the heads of the statues in the main hall suddenly turned, and they all looked at Lin Xu.

Lin Xu was not moved by this terrifying scene to outsiders, instead he cupped his hands and said: "The poor Taoist Ling Xuzi has seen the City God."

Suddenly, the candles in the main hall ignited one after another, and with the bursts of smoke, the entire main hall was turned into a hazy world, and the world had changed before Lin Xu's eyes.

A majestic man with a three-strand long beard stood on his face.

"If the Taoist priest wants to burn incense, he should go to the Sanqing Gate. Why did he come to my Town God's Temple?"

Lin Xuxin said that you, the city god, are quite humorous, and immediately responded with a smile: "Poverty Dao is the Taiyi Taoist sect, apart from heaven and earth, I don't know who to burn incense to."

Chenghuang said: "The Taoist priest is very funny, I don't know what to order."

Lin Xu didn't talk nonsense, he took out the ruler and turned it over, and all the hundreds of lonely cloud and wild ghosts inside the ruler were released, instantly crowding the main hall of the Town God's Temple.

Seeing this, Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Where did the Taoist get some ghosts?"

Lin Xu explained the origins of those ghosts one by one, and the city god also twitched his beard while listening.

Finally, Chenghuang looked at Lin Xu with admiration, and said: "The Taoist priest is really kind, he is willing to do such a thing for them."

Lin Xu said: "I hope the City God will show mercy and send some Yin soldiers to send them to the Yin Division."

The City God said: "It's easy to deal with those who died in vain in the post station and in the black shop, but only those in Ping'an County..."

"I hope the City God can speak directly." Lin Xu said.

"Their life and death books have been tampered with. This matter is our dereliction of duty. I still need to report to Wuyue to investigate the city god of Ping'an County. I also want to arrest Wen Wen and judge Zeng Qi to settle the matter. That's it. Only then can these ghosts be sent to the underworld."

After hearing this, Lin Xu frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be hard for them?"

The City God said: "Before that, I will naturally keep them in this City God's Temple for a good life, so as not to let them become wandering ghosts, so as to avoid the pain of wandering."

"In that case, thank you."

Seeing that their matter of going to the underworld was settled, all the ghosts knelt down and kowtowed to thank the City God. After kowtowing more than a dozen heads, they all turned around and thanked Lin Xu again.

Lin Xu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't kneel down to me, I can't stand this ceremony."

The City God smiled, waved his hand, and some Yin soldiers came out from behind to take the ghosts down and put them down. The ghosts kept thanking them before they left.

With no one kneeling down to him all the time, Lin Xu finally felt better in his heart. In his previous life, as a standard three-good youth in society, he couldn't accept this kind of too "grand" way of thanking him.

Lin Xu calmed down, and said, "I just don't know how the City God plans to capture Zeng Qi?"

The Chenghuang lowered his head and thought for a while, "If it had been earlier, Zeng Qi would have escaped from the jurisdiction of Ping'an County, but he could not escape the scope of my Pingshun Mansion. In a few days, I'm afraid that Zeng Qi will be gone."

"No, what do you mean by no more?"

"The Daoist doesn't know, but we rely on the people's incense offerings to stay in the mortal world. If we don't have this offering, we won't be able to last long. Obviously Zeng Qi has no one in Ping'an County to worship him. I'm afraid it has disappeared or become a wandering ghost by now."

"Then those ghosts in Ping'an County will never enter the underworld?"

"Don't worry, Daoist. If Zeng Qi is still not found after a while, I will write a note on Chen Yanjun and Chen Ming's situation."

Only then did Lin Xu feel relieved, bid farewell to the City God, and left the City God Temple.

The old butler was still waiting outside the Town God's Temple at night, Lin Xu felt a little sorry when he saw it, and said: "The old butler has worked hard, let's go back."

After returning home, Lin Xu finally had a good night's sleep, and after the ghosts in the ruler were settled, the psychological burden was greatly reduced.

I don't know, that group of ghosts gave themselves a few good words in front of Hades, and added virtue to themselves.

No, I want to practice longevity, what do I want to do!

Moreover, I... seem to like to take advantage of it more and more...

On the second day, Lin Xu got up early in the morning and went to the courtyard to stretch, but suddenly heard a woman's screaming, suspiciously moved to another courtyard, unexpectedly it was the residence of the daughter of the county guard Jin Shunping.

Lin Xu secretly yelled that he couldn't help but broke into someone's daughter's yard indiscriminately, and hurriedly got away to leave, but saw that Jin Hongying was practicing with a spear, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

And see her: the long spear dances and the horned dragon flies, the afterimage of a sequoia is chasing after her, hibiscus water falls on her forehead, and the fragrant sweat is blown by the wind.

Lin Xu had also seen the Black Wind Monster play with a gun before, and felt that Jin Hongying's marksmanship was really good, if she put aside the difference between a monster and a monster, she could have managed more than a dozen moves with that Black Wind Monster, and couldn't help sighing: "Good! "

However, Lin Xu's only words were whispered to Jin Hongying's ears. Jin Hongying turned around and saw Lin Xu. She was shocked and ran back to the room in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Xu was quite embarrassed, thinking, are all girls in ancient times so shy?

After a while, Jin Hongying came out of the room again, she just took off the red cedar and put on a red dress, and wiped off the sweat from the gun practice just now.

Coming in front of Lin Xu, Jin Hongying bowed her body and saluted, and said sarcastically: "The Taoist priest is originally a stranger, but he really doesn't obey the rules."

Lin Xu smiled awkwardly, and said: "Seeing that Miss's marksmanship is so good, I have no choice but to be rude."

Jin Hongying said bitterly: "What's the use, my father grounded me for three months."

Lin Xu said: "You owe your father a huge debt, so you should be grounded."

Here Lin Xu is referring to what happened yesterday, which made Jin Shunping pay 100 taels of silver.

Jin Hongying was not angry with Lin Xu when she heard the words, but just sighed: "If I can go out and kill some of his thieves who have rewards, I won't worry about running out of money."

Good guy, is this woman so full of Wude?

"Miss is a woman who doesn't give way to a man."
