When Lu Daozhi heard Shi Jun's name, he reflexively extended his hand together with Xu Zhoujiao.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the extra hand and remembered Cui Yu once said that Lu Daozhi was also secretly investigating Shi Jun. She turned around and asked him, "Are you here to find Shi Jun's case file?"

Lu Daozhi put down his hand somewhat awkwardly. Xu Zhoujiao took the case file and handed it to him directly: "I don't know how to distinguish the authenticity of the case file. You can see it better than me."

Seeing the case file he had been looking for for a long time right in front of him, Lu Daozhi simply thanked Xu Zhoujiao and quickly opened it.

Xuzhou Jiao and Yeyoushen were also curious about what was written on the case file, so the three of them put their heads together.

Judging from the case files, Shi Jun's life was ordinary, without any outstanding features or achievements.

Xu Zhoujiao snorted coldly: "Oh, no wonder the Sun God said he has nothing he wants. He has never done a good thing for the people, but he has a lot of crooked ideas!"

"I say, Night Wanderer, you are being made the boss by a mediocre person. Wouldn't the other people in the City God Temple be unwilling to accept this?"

The Night Wanderer told her helplessly, "My Lord, as the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person. This Shi Jun was personally appointed by the old City God, and he also has the clerk who took office. How can we have a say?"

Lu Daozhi, who had been frowning, seemed to have discovered something. He took out a booklet from his pocket and opened it to compare.

Xu Zhoujiao watched his actions and realized that he must have discovered the problem, so she asked softly, "But what's wrong?"

Lu Daozhi handed her the booklet in his hand.

"Before I came here, I also copied down Mu Sheng's life and death book. You see, Shi Jun's real age doesn't match Mu Sheng's. They are two different people."

"Moreover, I have never been able to understand why a scholar who died on his way to Yue's house in Dazhen would die in Dayin's territory many years later. I'm afraid this Mu Sheng is a fake."

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the booklet carefully.

Because last time I only looked at Mu Sheng’s life, and didn’t pay attention to the time when he passed through the gates of hell.

Now I see that there is a difference of twelve years. And the place of origin on the customs pass is actually Kyoto?

He has been in Kyoto all this time? How is that possible!

Lu Daozhi knew what she was thinking at a glance and said to her, "Do you know which hall this Mu Sheng entered?"

Xu Zhoujiao glanced at him and said, "It can't be the Fifth Palace, it's right in front of you!"

Lu Daozhi nodded: "It is the Fifth Palace."

"I was the one who handled this Mu Sheng in the first place, and I found that he was very different from what was written in his life."

He pointed to the line 'Mu Sheng participated in the autumn examination at the age of sixteen and won the first place' and said: "The Mu Sheng in the Book of Life and Death is a man of great literary talent, while the Mu Sheng who entered the underworld is also a scholar, but his talent is mediocre. There is a big difference."

"Also, he and Shu Yanyu had been engaged, but there is no record of him on the Sansheng Stone. This means that this Mu Sheng is a fake, and Shu Yanyu's fiancé's real name should not be Mu Sheng."

In other words, the reason why Shu Yanyu couldn't find her marriage partner on the San Sheng Stone was because she had no connection with this Mu Sheng.

Her real fiancé had died before he found her. And Shi Jun, who actually had an intersection with her, was using the fake name Mu Sheng!

Xu Zhoujiao felt like her brain was almost not enough.

After all this talk, what is the real Mu Sheng's name? What's the matter with this fake Mu Sheng? Why did Shi Jun impersonate him?

She said, "Willn't that mean we will never know who the real Mu Sheng is?"

Lu Daozhi weighed the case file in his hand and sneered: "I didn't know it before, but don't we still have it now?"

Xu Zhoujiao was still confused: "What do you mean?"

"Because someone has altered Mu Sheng's fate, many of the records about Mu Sheng in the Book of Life and Death are vague. There is only one way to find out everything, and that is Shi Jun, who went to look for his relatives on his behalf."

"Because the old City God fabricated a case file for Shi Jun, the Book of Life and Death cannot distinguish the true from the false, so the only thing recorded in his Book of Life and Death is that he succeeded the City God."

"I wanted to use the Three-Life Stone to check his past, but I found that his ancestral home and age did not match."

"Now that we have Shi Jun's real information, it will be easy to find out who Mu Sheng is."

When Xu Zhoujiao heard this, she was filled with emotion.

Because the old city god tampered with the fate book, the book of life and death became unclear, allowing Shi Jun to live smoothly for so many years, while poor Shu Yanyu had to wait for so many years for a fake fiancé.

When Xu Zhoujiao thought about the old city god's ability to change the fortune book, she immediately thought of Yu Tingting.

She quickly told Lu Daozhi: "President Lu, I remembered someone who is very helpful to Cha Shijun!"

"Who is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Yu Tingting, the daughter of the royal family of Dazhen, died that year. In order to protect the snake girl, the old city god beat the snake girl into her body. During the years when Shi Jun disappeared, he followed her to the fiefdom!"

"The reason why Shi Jun was able to enter the City God Temple is because the snake girl is the only daughter of the old City God, and Shi Jun is his new son-in-law."

Lu Daozhi didn't expect that there was such a complicated hidden story. He had a hunch that there were many implications behind this matter.

"The snake girl had been doing evil in the human world for ten years. In order to help Yu Tingting reincarnate smoothly, the old city god also changed her fate book."

"Cui Pan showed me Shu Yanyu's reincarnation seat before, and it was given to Yu Tingting."

Lu Daozhi was horrified: "You mean, the old city god changed her fate book, and she was successfully reincarnated?"

Xuzhou Jiao nodded.

"It's bad. The underworld has some ambiguities in the Book of Life and Death, and has a clear rule: Anyone who is unclear about this will be detained temporarily and will not be released until the judge finds out the truth and determines whether he is good or evil, and then punishes him!"

"This rule is to prevent the people in charge of the underworld from bending the law for personal gain and arbitrarily changing the fate books! They let him go so easily. It must be that the City God Temple is colluding with the people in our underworld and letting him go with malicious intent!"

"This matter is no longer within the jurisdiction of the Ten Kings of Hell. I will quickly report this to King Yama and have him meet with the Emperor of Fengdu and conduct a thorough investigation of the people involved in the underworld."

Xu Zhoujiao thought of the informant who provided information to Shi Jun, and told Lu Daozhi about it: "My every word and action in the underworld was also closely monitored. Shi Jun knew what I did in the underworld before I came back, and he even went to my house to announce the good news."

Lu Daozhi nodded: "If that's the case, then it can't be wrong. This person must be no ordinary person in my underworld! This kind of scum actually lurks so deep!"

After saying this, he put all the case files on the shelf into his arms: "With these, this time we can convict both the new and old city gods!"

He bowed his hands to Xu Zhoujiao and thanked her: "Thank you for all the gains today!"

Xu Zhoujiao rolled her eyes at him with a look of disdain: "Stop being so hypocritical. What are you talking about? Thank you or not."

"You are fair and just, and you are unfair to the innocent souls of the world. If it comes down to it, you helped me, and I should thank you!"

Perhaps it was the first time that Lu Daozhi heard Xu Zhoujiao say the word "thank you", and he was still a little uncomfortable.

He said: "I don't do this for what others say."

After saying this, he deliberately showed a fierce expression and said: "If you do the same thing in the future, I will definitely track you down to the end."

Xu Zhoujiao clapped her hands and laughed out loud: "Well said, you are worthy of being the Underworld Investigation Department - Lu Daozhi."

"If I ever go against my original intention in the future, you must eliminate this harm for the people!"

Lu Daozhi looked at her frank and uninhibited appearance, and said in his heart: You won't do that. How can a person who can say such words as "the ears of heaven reach up to the ears of the underworld" wield the knife against the morality in her heart?

The three of them should go their separate ways after leaving the archives.

Before leaving, Xu Zhoujiao handed the cloak in her hand to Lu Daozhi.

She looked at his nightgown and said with disdain, "You are a judge, how can you dress like a petty thief when you come out to investigate a case? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Take it. Wear this in the future and you won't be afraid of being discovered."

Lu Daozhi took it without hesitation and said, "Do you think everyone is like you and can get whatever they want?"

"Give me this, what will you do next?"

Xu Zhoujiao looked indifferent: "I can ask Feng Tiansuo to weave again."

Lu Daozhi looked down at the cloak in his hand and raised his voice: "Xuzhou Jiao, did you steal the treasure from the City God Temple?"

Xu Zhoujiao rubbed her ears which were shaken, and glanced at him: "Why are you so loud? Do you have to say it so harshly! Shijun gave it to me on his own initiative."

Lu Daozhi looked at her with a suspicious expression: "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, give it back to me!"

After saying that, Xu Zhoujiao was about to grab it.

Lu Daozhi dodged and jumped several feet away, and shouted to Xu Zhoujiao: "Thank you, Lord Xu, Lu Daozhi will take his leave now."

After saying this, he put on his cloak and disappeared into the night.

Xu Zhoujiao looked up at the night sky for a moment, and said to the Night Wanderer beside her: "Okay, let's go back."

As the Night Wanderer walked, he asked Xu Zhoujiao, "Sir, I want to write a book. Do you think Lord Lu Pan will cooperate with me?"

Xu Zhoujiao looked at him in confusion: "Book? What book?"

"Look at how awkward he is. Does he look like he will cooperate with you?"

The Night Wanderer nodded thoughtfully and left with Xu Zhoujiao.

postscript:

Later, the Night Wanderer actually wrote a book and showed it to her with great joy.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the cover of the book, "The Fights I Fought in Those Years," and kept praising him: "Well, this name is very good. It immediately aroused the readers' interest."

As she spoke, she flipped through a few pages, but soon she couldn't praise it anymore.

What kind of book is this? It's obviously her autobiography!

From beginning to end, she wrote down everything that could be written about the fights she had and the people she had beaten, and what she wrote was... well... very exaggerated.

The Night Walker next to her said to her excitedly: "My Lord, do you know? This book is very popular and it is selling very well in the Three Realms."

Xu Zhoujiao looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She turned around and asked him, "What did you say?"

The Night Walker thought she didn't hear what he said clearly, so he said it again: "My Lord, our book is a big hit, it's selling like hot cakes in all three worlds!"

The next second, Xu Zhoujiao threw the book and the Night Wanderer out the door.

Just avoid visitors for three months.

And on the other side of the underworld.

Lu Daozhi, who has been having some free time in the underworld recently, looked at the long queue at the bookstore and decided to buy a book to pass the time.

But he was holding the new book he had just bought, and after reading only one page, he slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Xuzhou Jiao! When did you kick me from the outside of Fengdu City to the Wangchuan River!"

"What else are you writing? You're stepping on my back and making me yell for mercy, lady..."

In the end, Lu Daozhi was so angry that he threw the book down, picked up the judge's pen and walked out.

On the cover that fell to the ground was written: Little Night for Adults ---.
