Land god

Du Qian first went to the Earth Temple in the east of the city. Yu Shouzhong was overjoyed when he saw him. He stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve regardless of etiquette and said excitedly: "My lord is back. It's easy for me to find it these days! That day You disappeared after being attacked by the demons, I thought it was a bad luck! I have turned over the whole barnyard city, which is a good chance!"

Du Qian said with a smile: "I made you worry, but I was stranded in the prison where the prisoners were held in the city. I only came out after recovering from my injuries there."

"Prison? Hey, I didn't expect it! The prison is extremely evil, and it's not under my control!" Yu Shouzhong shook his head and sighed, blaming himself for his mistakes.

Du Qian was very grateful for Yu Shouzhong's mistake - if he had found him in advance, how would he have the chance to know that silly bald head?

"Old Yu, as the land of this city, you must know this place very well. I want to ask you, do you know that there is an old jailer surnamed Zhao in that prison, where does he live, and what kind of relatives does he have?"

Seeing Du Qian's question, Yu Shouzhong thought for a while and said, "I do know this man, but he is a cowardly and immoral man who often deprives prisoners of food and fills his pockets. He has a wife and a son at home, and his wife is an honest person. It’s just that I don’t know how to care for my husband and raise my children. His son lacks discipline. He became addicted to gambling at a young age. Now he is addicted to gambling and has ruined all his family’s wealth. He is over 25 years old, but he has not yet married a wife. He only thinks about it all day long. How to cheat and swindle so that you can get some money to gamble!"

Yu Shouzhong said with anger on his face, obviously very indignant at the behavior of old man Zhao and his son.

Du Qian kept it in mind, and asked about the address of old man Zhao's house, and then prepared to rush there.

Seeing him like this, Yu Shouzhong hesitated to remind him: "My lord, I don't know what you are going to do, but it is not good for us to directly interfere with ordinary people's affairs!"

Du Qian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure, and I won't do anything out of line."

Seeing Du Qian's answer in this way, Yu Shouzhong felt relieved, not only stopped dissuading him, but also looked forward to it.After all, as an earth god, Du Qian is not under the jurisdiction of the city god, so it is much more convenient to do things than him, the land of the gods. If he can punish evil and promote good, it will be great!

Afterwards Du Qian left Yu Shouzhong's Earth Temple, Jifei Yunpa walked in the sky for only a moment, and saw a row of adobe houses, he floated down and entered one of them.

I saw an old couple in this room, sitting cross-legged on the floor at a dilapidated low table eating, and the old man among them was Uncle Zhao, whom Wang Kexiu was so grateful for.

During the day, Du Qian found that the old man took good care of Wang Kexiu on the surface, but secretly reported his situation to the big man surnamed Hu. His behavior was so different that he felt that it was necessary for him to come and find out.And after listening to Yu Shouzhong's introduction, his suspicion became more firm.

Du Qian walked around Old Man Zhao's house, only to find that the three-room adobe house was completely impoverished. These rough wild vegetables are worse than those poor villagers under Du Qian's command!

At this time, old man Zhao suddenly put down his chopsticks and said to his wife, "Hey, Qiangzi didn't come back today?"

The old woman sitting across from him sighed and said, "Really, I don't know where to gamble again. Hey~ I'm already 25 and don't have a daughter-in-law. I know how to gamble all day long. How will I live after that?" Yo!"

The old woman burst into tears as she talked, and the old man Zhao shook his head dejectedly and said, "That's all right, all right, don't cry! Don't worry, as long as I wait until the end of autumn, I can earn ten taels of silver." , when the time comes to marry Qiangzi a daughter-in-law, with a daughter-in-law in charge, naturally I won't gamble."

"Really?" The old woman stopped crying immediately and asked in surprise.

The old man didn't want to say more, but just nodded impatiently, and the old woman immediately bowed to the top of her head and prayed with joy: "There is such a good thing, I don't know which god has appeared!"

However, after the old man Zhao heard the words "immortal apparition", his face suddenly changed, and he reprimanded: "What nonsense!" Then he got up angrily and walked into the bedroom.

The old woman didn't know why, but Du Qian could see clearly that the old man Zhao must have a guilty conscience. The vision that happened to Wang Kexiu during the day made him extremely afraid that he would be punished by ghosts and gods.

Seeing this situation, Du Qian's heart brightened, and he had a solution.So he walked around outside and waited until late at night when old man Zhao fell asleep, then came back and shot a beam of golden light at old man Zhao who was sleeping soundly.

The old man Zhao, who was sleeping, suddenly felt that he had come to a smoky place. Suddenly, a golden armored man appeared in the sky in front of him, glared at him angrily, and shouted loudly like a bell: "You Can you be found guilty?"

The old man Zhao had never seen such a scene before, and he immediately thought that the retribution had come. He was already cowardly, and after being drunk by this, he immediately fell to his knees softly as if his bones had been pulled out.

Du Qian, who used divine power to conjure dreams, saw that the old man Zhao was frightened in his sleep, so he asked him to confess his crimes.Not only did he talk about his past deprivation of food from prisoners, but he even told about stealing women's panties when he was a child. He spoke incoherently, and soon talked about Wang Kexiu's matter.

Only then did Du Qian understand that it was because the son of Master Futai beat him to death because of a disagreement, and the family of the murdered person still had some influence, which could not be dismissed at will, so under the instruction of Futai, the Futai The people in the yamen lied that Wang Kexiu, the rescuer, was the murderer, locked him up, and prepared to be a scapegoat.

Because the imperial court clearly ordered that the death penalty can only be carried out after the fall, and the master of Futai was afraid of side effects, so he kept pressing the case without trial, and wanted to delay the trial until after the fall, and then immediately execute him.

However, Wang Kexiu is not easy to deal with. With his supernatural power, the jailers worry whether their prison can really hold this person, and they dare not really use severe punishment to beat him down—in case in the autumn Hou Wenzhan died before, the case was unclear, and the family members of the deceased made a fuss, and everyone would be implicated.

Later, because I heard that Wang Kexiu was a little silly, he was very loyal, and he was very good at repaying his kindness, so someone came up with a plan to let the old man Zhao pretend to be sympathetic to his grievances and take good care of him, and then let people say that if the prisoner Old man Zhao will lose his head if he escapes.In this way, Wang Kexiu was grateful for the kindness of the old man Zhao, and he really didn't have the intention of resisting and running away.

Seeing that the work was effective, Hu Dahan once promised to the old man Zhao that if the matter was successful, he would give him ten taels of silver as a reward, because before the old man Zhao told his old wife that after autumn, there would be ten taels of silver for his son to marry a wife .

Knowing the truth, Du Qian was very angry. These people actually used other people's kindness and benevolence to harm others. They really lost their conscience!

Old man Zhao dreamed that he was being torn and bitten by a group of evil spirits, and he woke up with a scream, but he was covered in cold sweat. When he finally fell asleep, he was awakened by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he exclaimed and saw his son Zhao Shiqiang being carried back unconscious.

"When your son gambled until the middle of the night, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. He has asked the doctor to see him. He said it was hysteria. You should take good care of it yourself. For the sake of the accident on our territory, this medicine Fei will not let you out." The middle-aged man who led the people over said coldly, then turned and left.

Old man Zhao recognized this middle-aged man as the steward of Fucai Gambling House, and his master would be courteous even if he saw him, so not only did he not dare to make noise, but he thanked him with tears in his eyes and sent him out the door.

Du Qian watched the old couple cry bitterly at their son with cold eyes, and said in his heart, he did his own crimes, and he can't blame others. Although this kid is not in danger of his life, you don't have to think about marrying him a wife for a few years.
