I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai
Chapter 152 One Twist and Three Twists
I always feel as if I forgot something, what is it?
Ji Zihe couldn't help but fell into deep thought, Ye Youshen's ugly body, which was comparable to that of the City God, slowly approached, and stood respectfully a few meters away from him, waiting for the City God's call.
Huang Jiulang hid in the yard, holding a plate with a whole chicken in one hand, and eating his extra meal with a chicken leg in the other, when he suddenly thought of something, he slapped his thigh, leaving a greasy handprint on his pants.
It was too late to feel sorry for the pants, Huang Jiulang put the chicken legs on the plate, and hurriedly went to look for Ji Zihe, "Master, you forgot to go to the Town God's Temple, my fourteenth sister is going to sue today."
Ji Zihe suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it.
"Yeyoushen, what do you want from me?" Ji Zihe asked.
"My lord, there is a demon complaining in the Town God's Temple, and the judge asked me to look for you." Ye Youshen replied.
The night wandering god in Ning'an County is a god who doesn't like to talk. It is said that he was framed by someone before his death and became dumb.Unless someone asks him, he will answer, otherwise he will not take the initiative to speak.Because this guy actually prefers to speak with his fists rather than with his mouth.
"I see, thank you for letting me know." Ji Zihe said.
Ye Youshen bowed slightly to Ji Zihe, then left to continue patrolling.
Ji Zihe changed into the official robes of the City God, and told Huang Jiulang to look after the house, and if there was any emergency in the county government, he should go to the City God Temple to inform him.
Although Huang Jiulang really wanted to go to the Town God's Temple to see how Xin Shiniang's case was progressing, he also knew the priority of the matter.Now that the county government has just arrested Sang Chong and other serious offenders, some emergency might happen. It is really worrying not to leave anyone in the county government.
Ji Zihe hurried to the Town God's Temple, set up the courtroom, sat down in the courtroom, slapped the gavel, "Bring the plaintiff."
When Ji Zihe yelled, he thought Xin Shishiniang was the only one, but a group of them came.Foxes big and small, some in human form, some with fox ears on their heads, and fox tails behind their buttocks, and some without even a disguised form, all knelt down in the hall in unison, the scene was very funny.
"Are you all plaintiffs?" Ji Zihe asked in surprise.
"Yes, we are all from the fox family nearby, and we want to ask Lord Chenghuang to make the decision." Xin Shishiniang said.
"All you are suing is the old Junjun?" Ji Zihe asked, probably guessing what was going on in his heart.
Xin Shishiniang didn't want to marry at first, but when she heard Ji Zihe said that she wanted to teach the old county lord a lesson, she called the nearby ghost fox who was also bullied by the old county lord, and wanted to aggravate the old junjun's crime.The old Junjun has accumulated power here for a long time, and he must have done a lot of bad things.Other tribes probably dare not come to sue, so only the vixen from the same clan as Xin Shishiniang dared to come.
"Yes, we are all suing the old county lord. The little fox Xin Shishiniang wants to sue the old county lord for using power to oppress people, force the little demon to marry, and destroy the little demon's way."
"Little fox Bai Yaoyao wants to sue the old county lord for forcing the little demon to work day and night without giving him food, making me always hungry."
"Little Fox Hong, I want to sue the old Jun Jun to kill my unwise child and take its skin to make clothes."
"Little Fox Dong Shishi, wants to sue the old Junjun..."
……
The matter was big or small, Ji Zihe listened patiently, the judge put all the pleadings of the fox demon on Ji Zihe's desk, Ji Zihe looked through them again, and asked, "What evidence do you have for your accusation?"
"There is evidence. This is the marriage certificate sent by the old Junjun today, as well as the servant who sent the marriage certificate." Xin Shishiniang said.
The rest of the fox demons who had evidence showed evidence, some with bones in their mouths, and some with scars on their bodies... Those without evidence could only look at Ji Zihe with their big eyes empty-handed, feeling aggrieved.
The maids and servants sent by the old county lord to deliver the marriage letter to Xin Shishiniang were brought up, and they were too proud to go to the court. They were tied up and stood on the court, staring at the bull-headed horse who pushed them over.
"Who is down there? Why don't you kneel when you see me!" Ji Zihe said loudly.
"It's just the city god of a small place. We are the servants of the old county lord. If you are sensible, let us go back and punish these bold vixens. Otherwise, if the old county lord finds us, you will have to eat and walk around." A female ghost dressed as a servant girl said.
"What a big tone, bull-headed and horse-faced, let them kneel down for me." Ji Zihe said.
The bull's head and horse's face were a little embarrassed, obviously knowing the identities of several people.The judge hurried to Ji Zihe's side and whispered, "My lord, these people are the servants of the old county lord. The old county lord's husband is the envoy of Wudu, and his rank is higher than yours. We can't afford to offend you." ah."
Ji Zihe glanced at him, took out the river map and patted it on the table, "This is the river map handed over to me by Pluto himself. Judge, do you think I can ignore him?"
The judge took a deep breath, wait, let him slow down, he didn't expect Ji Chenghuang to be so powerful.A few months ago, Pluto suddenly announced that the person holding the scroll of the river would be the young master of the underworld.All the monks were guessing who had given the Hetu Scroll to, but no one knew, and no one came forward to claim it.Now that the river scroll is in the hands of Ji Chenghuang, doesn't that mean he is the prince of the underworld!
In an instant, the way the judge looked at Ji Zihe changed. In the past, when he saw Ji Zihe, he was being held by his boss, but now when he saw Ji Zihe, he was offering him as a golden thigh, with little stars shining in his eyes, "Of course, of course."
Ji Zihe snorted, and said again, "What are you still doing in a daze, let them kneel down."
"Yes."
The bull-headed horse-face didn't hesitate anymore, and kicked the servants' calves, pushing them all to the ground.
Back then, the voice of Pluto announcing the young master of the underworld spread throughout the cultivation world, and all the monks, regardless of their level of knowledge, had heard about it.Of course, some people let go of their hearts, while others don't. It's not impossible to forget after listening.
However, the servants of the old Junjun do not seem to belong to the forgotten category.After Ji Zihe took out the river map scroll, all of them turned into quails. Although they were skeptical, no one dared to say a word for fear of offending Ji Zihe.
"You are the servants of the old Junjun, do you know that the old Junjun forced Xin Shishiniang to marry?" Ji Zihe asked.
"Your Excellency, it is none of our business. We are just following orders. We will deliver the marriage certificate when the old Jun asked us to. We really don't know anything else." The servant girl tremblingly said.
"This marriage letter was sent by the old Junjun himself?"
"Yes, the old Junjun is our master, so we naturally dare not disobey her orders. Please also ask your lord to investigate clearly and let us live."
"I will deal with it impartially, Niutoumamian, according to my order, go and bring that old Junjun to the court." Ji Zihe gave Niutoumamian an arrest warrant with the seal of the city god.
"Yes."
Niutou Mamian received the arrest warrant, and hurried to Huanggu, where he found the tomb of the old Junjun.
Now the tomb has turned into the appearance of a high-ranking family, with a bull's head and a horse face knocking on the door with an arrest warrant.They are just the last Yin Gods, their cultivation base is not considered high, but they are not that capable of breaking in and arresting people directly.
After a while, a voice came from the door, "Who are you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"We are Ji Chenghuang seated on the bull's head and horse face, and under the order of Ji Chenghuang, we invite the old Junjun to go to the court." Niutou said.
"You guys wait, I'll report to the old Junjun." The porter's voice was a little hurried, as if he was frightened.
It didn't take long for the door to open, and a young woman came out with her maid and servant, and bowed slightly to them, "You two officials, please follow me."
The bull head and horse face didn't think much, and followed the woman into the mansion.Walking through the winding corridors, the young woman led the bull's head and horse face to the lobby.The place was brightly lit, and the old Junjun was wearing a royal uniform, holding a dragon-headed crutch, sitting domineeringly in the hall, and the maids and servants stood on both sides, very imposing, which made the bull's head and horse face feel like he was in court.
The bull's head and the horse's face stopped, and the young woman went straight to stand behind the old Junjun, looking at the two of them from a distance.
"See the old Junjun." The bull head and the horse face respectfully saluted, although the Lord Chenghuang is very powerful, but the old Junjun is the wife of the Five Cities Tour Envoy after all, and they have no guts to offend her.
"Don't dare to do it, I heard that the two officials want to arrest the old man and take him to court?" The old Junjun was in the presence of the old god, and he spoke in a calm and self-indulgent manner.
"Yes, someone sued you at Chenghuang, Ji Chenghuang would like to ask you to go over and find out about the situation."
"Can the two officials tell the old man who sued me and why?"
"Well, old Junjun, the ones suing you are all from the fox tribe, with different reasons. The leader is a fox demon named Xin Shishiniang. She sues you for oppressing others and forcing her to marry." These are not things Confidential, the bull head and horse face are willing to sell her a favor, and told her this in advance.
The old Junjun patted the table, "What a foxy girl, she has such good means, she dared to sue me. When I turn around, I will definitely peel off her skin and make it into a fox fur."
Niutauma didn't care about this, they still remembered their mission, "Please trouble the old Junjun to come with us."
"Hmph, it's just a small city god. I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but I still control the old man, and I don't know who lent him the courage." The old Junjun said disdainfully.
"Old Junjun, please don't embarrass us, let's go with us."
"Don't make things difficult for you. What's the matter with the old man. The old man was appointed by the emperor of the previous dynasty, and now he is the official wife of the five capitals. If you want to use the old man to tell you that Ji Chenghuang, he is not qualified. "The old Junjun waved his hand and sucked the arrest warrant from Niutou Mamian's hand, and tore it into pieces, "Mei Er, see off."
"Yes." The young woman standing behind her came out again, and said to the bull's head and horse, "You two, please."
Niutauma looked at each other face to face, and those who know current affairs are Junjie.Without arguing with them, he hurried to the Temple of the City God and told Ji Zihe what happened at the old Junjun's mansion.
"Whether she is qualified or not is not up to her to decide." Ji Zihe issued another arrest warrant, this time the signature was no longer Ji Zihe, the city god, but Ji Zihe, the young lord of the underworld.
Niutou Mamian did not accept the arrest warrant, and hesitated, "Master Chenghuang, there are many masters in the old county's residence, and the two of us are not their opponents. Even with your arrest warrant, I am afraid it will be difficult to bring him back."
"That's true." Ji Zihe thought for a while, then patted his stomach again.
Meng Zhang grumbled and crawled out, "Xiaohezi, what do you want from me?"
"Bone, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"Help me bring the old Junjun here." Ji Zihe handed him the arrest warrant in his hand.
Meng Zhangfei came out, stretched his waist, and pinched the arrest warrant with his little claws, "It's such a trivial matter, why don't I call the dragon that rains during the day to come and catch her for you."
"What priesthood did that dragon receive in the heaven during the day?"
"Isn't there a Qingshui River in Ning'an County, and the dragon is the Dragon King of Qingshui River."
Ji Zihe shook his head, "It's just that the River Dragon King may not be able to take on this important task. The five-city patrol envoy is not a small official. If he retaliates afterwards, the River Dragon King may not be able to carry it. And the old county is a five-city The wife of the patrol envoy, since the five-city tour envoy is assured of leaving her family here, she must have made complete preparations, and there must be many masters in her house."
"It's true. If that's the case, then I'll go." Meng Zhang put away the arrest warrant, thought for a while, and suddenly jumped up, pointing his mouth on Meng Zhang's forehead.
"What is this for?" Ji Zihe touched his forehead, his face was slightly hot, but Chenghuang's appearance was too thick-skinned, so he couldn't tell anything.
"I don't worry about you, don't be afraid, I will be back soon." Meng Zhang said seriously.
Ji Zihe smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, you should hurry up and go back early."
"Then I'm leaving." Meng Zhang reluctantly said.
"Ah."
"I'm really leaving."
"move."
"Aren't you going to keep me?"
Ji Zihe: "..."
Brother, it's not that far away, why do you want to make it look like a farewell to death.
Meng Zhang sniffed and said sadly, "Forget it, you little heartless, who made me like you, I'm leaving."
Like it?Ji Zihe's heart warmed, he grabbed Xiao Qinglong, and kissed him on the forehead, "Be careful on the road, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xiao Qinglong suddenly seemed to have drunk fake wine, his head was bubbling, his face showed an idiotic smile, and he wobbled and flew outside.
The onlookers only felt that their eyes were going to be blind. Is the aesthetics of that little green dragon really all right?To actually fall in love with such a ferocious Lord of the City God, and to be kissed by him is still full of love.
If the City God kissed him... and kissed him, it must be a ghost story.Are you sure he really wants to kiss and not take the opportunity to bite your head off?
Ji Zihe also thought it was funny. When talking about his official status as a city god, he was disgusted from the hair to the heel.But now it seems that he is not as annoying as he said.
If Meng Zhang knew what everyone was thinking, he would sneer, how could he be the kind of superficial dragon who only looks at the appearance.No matter how good-looking or ugly other people are, he won't like him, he only likes Xiao Hezi.Cough, such nice earthy love words, hurry up and write them down in a small notebook, and when he returns to normal and becomes human, he must hold Xiao Hezi and read them every day.
Meng Zhang took the bull's head and horse face to the old Junjun's mansion again, and this time they were greeted with full of malice.
Hundreds of the old Junjun's guests stood in front of her, all of them were demon cultivators or ghost cultivators with high levels of cultivation, which made the old Junjun look full of confidence, "I respect you as officials, I will let you go once." , I didn't expect you to dare to come to the door, so don't blame me for being merciless."
"Please calm down the old Junjun. We are also following orders. Please come with us. The Lord Chenghuang is waiting for you at the Temple of the City God. If you are innocent, the Lord Chenghuang will definitely give you justice. "
"Don't think that I don't know what you are up to. The new city god took office, and if he wants to use the old body to make a big difference and burn three fires on the old body, it depends on whether the old body agrees. The old body usually does not leave the gate. If the door is not open, what a big mistake can be made. The city god just wants to take the opportunity to bully me as an old woman because my husband is not here. It is really despicable. When the old husband returns, he will report to the underworld, and the underworld will be fair and withdraw. He is the City God." The old Jun Jun said sharply.
"Oh, the tone is not small." Meng Zhang said.
Only then did the old Jun Jun notice this little blue dragon that was not as thick as a finger. He had no choice but to make him so small, and standing in front of the very attractive bull-headed horse-face with a very killer appearance. It's like being invisible.If he hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed him.
"Who are you?"
"I am a helper invited by Ji Chenghuang, entrusted by the young master of the underworld, to come to Xue's house to arrest Chu." Meng Zhang said.
Since he is the helper of the city god, how could he be ordered by the young master of the underworld? The old Junjun calmed down, "You little dragon, you dare to pretend to be ordered by the young master. I am just an old woman who has never met the young master. Why did the young master entrust you to capture me?"
"Old Junjun calm down, when I take him down, I will be able to force him to find out what kind of conspiracy he has." A doorman said flatteringly.
"Thank you, gentlemen." The old Junjun bowed to these diners.
"It's my good fortune to be able to share the worries of Master Xue." The doormen returned the courtesy, turned to look at Meng Zhang, immediately changed their expressions, and said arrogantly, "Little brat, don't think that we dare not do it because you are a dragon. These people do not attack lightly or seriously, I advise you to catch them quickly, if you are injured or disabled, crying is useless."
Meng Zhang raised his eyebrows, these ghosts regarded him as a young dragon, no wonder they were so bold and wanted to fight him.
"I want to see who is going to cry."
"You don't have to drink a toast, you have to drink as a punishment, brothers, come on!"
These cultivators supported by Xue's family didn't have the slightest sense of shame to bully the few, the big bully the small, and when they said they wanted to do something, they would attack in groups.
Although the dragon clan today is not as powerful as the dragon clan in ancient times, it is still unattainable for ordinary monks.Most dragons are born gods, and they can reach a realm that they can't necessarily reach in their entire life of cultivation. Don't they be hated by others?
Everyone in the comprehension world knows the strength of the Dragon Clan, and almost no one has heard that someone can defeat the Dragon Clan.Of course, it is estimated that there will be no one who is really free to fight with dragons. People who can slay dragons in the legend will end badly.For example, the former Taishi Jiang Yuxuan was a dragon hunter, not only killing dragons but also eating dragons.Although such a fierce man is not in the cultivation world, his legends are everywhere in the cultivation world. When his name is mentioned, everyone will shudder down their backs, and their faces will change when they talk about it.It's just that Jiang Taishi's fate was very miserable. I heard that the Dragon Clan invited the ancestor Qinglong Shenjun to beat him to death. It is also said that his ending is imprisoned in the [-]th floor of hell and suffers day by day...Of course, Legends are legends after all, and no one can guarantee the authenticity.
On weekdays, the dragon clan is always high above them, flaunting a status above all beasts, which makes people daunting.Who wouldn't want the chance to defeat a dragon now without responsibility.
The Dragon Clan itself is an authority, and defeating the Dragon Clan is proof of rising up to overthrow the authority. I believe no one will care whether the dragon is a big dragon or a small dragon.Anyway, there are so many of them, and the dragon opposite is just a young dragon, they don't believe it, no matter how talented they are, how can they have many enemies.After defeating the Dragon Clan, if you tell it later, you will definitely become famous.
And as long as the dragon is captured, maybe a few dragon scales can be easily pulled off.The whole body of the dragon is full of treasures. At that time, it could not only become famous, but also make a fortune.
More importantly, this was the order of the old county lord. If the Dragon Clan were to be held accountable afterwards, it would definitely be trouble for the old county lord.There are five capitals patrolling to make this mountain stand on top, so what is there to be afraid of?
Thinking of the benefits of "rebellion", all the monks were excited. Looking at Meng Zhang, it was like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat, with green eyes, wishing to carve up his chopstick-thin body now.
Many monks are still regretting that it would be great if the dragon was bigger, what good things can be easily touched by such a small one.
Meng Zhang fulfilled their wishes, and his size suddenly increased, and his body became bigger and bigger, but there was no surprise in the eyes of those monks, only shock.
When Meng Zhang recovered the body of the giant dragon, all the monks who were fierce just now dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, unable to feel any more greed in their hearts.They can still show off their might in the face of young dragons, but if they are facing adult dragons, and they are still adult dragons with a relatively high level of cultivation, they just think that it is good to save their lives, so how dare they think about pulling out dragons easily? scale.
Don't say anything to bully the few, it depends on the situation.The dragon on the opposite side is not only an adult dragon, but also has unfathomable cultivation, and the resistance is purely to deliver food.
"My lord said that I want to see you cry. Cry, if you don't cry, you will go to hell." Meng Zhang released coercion, but he attacked indiscriminately.
Not only the cultivator on the opposite side, but even the bull-headed horse face was affected, and couldn't help but kneel down. No one could stand still under the pressure of Qinglong Shenjun.Qinglong is high above, looking down at the living beings under his feet, this is the perspective he is used to.
A monk who can succumb to power and money and be driven by the old county monarch is naturally not a tough one.Immediately, with a runny nose and a burst of tears, he cried bitterly and begged for mercy, what he said was sincere.
"Who is your Excellency?" The old Junjun knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Meng Zhang with difficulty, ordinary dragons did not have such a strong coercion.
"I am a helper invited by Ji Chenghuang. I was ordered by the young master of the underworld to come to Xue's house to arrest the Chu family." Meng Zhang looked at the old Junjun and found that there was something wrong with the imperial uniform on her body.Taking a closer look, it turned out that the clothes were made of merit, and I couldn't help being a little surprised. Isn't this old woman a villain? Where did she get so much merit?
"Then the old man will go with your Excellency." The old Junjun said.
Meng Zhang didn't explore her merits and virtues much. Anyway, his task was to arrest people, and he had nothing to do with other things.
Meng Zhang took out the arrest warrant that Ji Zihe had given him, and threw it out.The arrest order instantly turned into long chains, binding all the people in Xue's mansion, big and small.Let the bull's head and horse face take the man back, and he left first.
Meng Zhang didn't go directly back to the Town God's Temple, but stopped on the way, "Come out."
A beam of light fell from the clouds and turned into a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown, walked up to him, knelt down and bowed deeply to him.
"Qingshuihelong pays homage to the ancestors."
"Well, get up."
"Thank you, my ancestor. I also asked my ancestor to make amends. I didn't know that my ancestor came to Ning'an County. I didn't come to pay my respects immediately. It was Xiaolong's dereliction of duty." Qingshuihe Dragon King stood up, bowed his waist and said respectfully.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's because I don't want to disclose my whereabouts."
"Yes. Congratulations to the old ancestor's return to the throne. The old ancestor has shown up now, but you want Xiaolong to notify the clan and let the elders send someone to welcome you back to the clan?"
"Don't be too fussy. I have important things to do when I come to Ning'an. I don't plan to leave for the time being, and I don't want to see other people disturbing me. Do you understand?" Meng Zhang did not prevent Qingshuihe Dragon King from revealing his whereabouts. , just to warn him not to let other dragons come to Ning'an to block his eyes, he has no intention of going to the dragons at all.
"Yes, Xiaolong understands. The old ancestor has no one to serve him now. If there is a place for Xiaolong that is useful, please ask the old ancestor to give orders." The Dragon King of Qingshuihe didn't ask Meng Zhang what he wanted to do when he came to Ning'an County. If you are self-aware, don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about, and if you inquire about them, they won't tell you.
"Although my soul is back in place now, I still need to recuperate for a while. You go and let the dragon clan collect some elixir and give it to me as soon as possible." Meng Zhang was not polite at all when it was time to speak. The dragon clan suffered, if the dragon clan hadn't asked him to come forward, how could he have fought with Ji, and how could he have been separated from his body by the lightning strike.What's wrong with asking them for some elixir, Meng Zhang is simply confident.
"Yes, Xiaolong must fulfill his mission and deliver the things as soon as possible."
"Well, by the way, since you are the local River Dragon King, do you know the old county gentleman of the Xue family?"
"Know some."
"Why does she have so many merits?"
"That's a long story."
"Then let's make a long story short."
"Yes. The old Junjun's original name was Chu, and her husband was Xue Mingyan. He was an official to Shangshu during his lifetime, and became a minor official in the underworld after his death. After the death of her husband, the Chu family returned to live in their hometown in Ning'an County from the capital. A flood broke out, and Quang Binh Province was the hardest-hit area. The heavy rain fell for a long time, and the water level of the big river in the province skyrocketed. At this time, the old county lord came forward and donated all his wealth to dredge the river and rescue the victims. During the period, they united with them to fight against the flood, so that thousands of people survived. The old Junjun finally died of exhaustion on the carriage because of his long-time travel. After her death, because of her great merits during her lifetime, the underworld left her But she didn't have much interest in being an official, so the underworld promoted her husband's official position, and let Xue Shangshu sit all the way to the position of the five capitals' patrol envoy." Qingshuihe Longwang said.
"It turns out that's the case." Meng Zhang was a little emotional. Some people can clearly distinguish the righteousness of the country, but they can't understand the small things. I'm afraid they are people like the old county lord.
Doesn't that kind of person often appear in the storybook, like a general who threw his head and blood for the country at the border, and everyone said that he was a hero who was so righteous.It's a pity that after returning to the capital, the emperor gave him an official title, and he began to be domineering, oppressing good people, amassing money and accepting bribes, doing all kinds of bad things, and everyone shouted and beat him.In the end, he ended up beheading, so who can blame him?
"Okay, let's go, I will contact you again if something happens."
"Yes, Xiaolong is leaving." Qingshuihe Dragon King stepped back respectfully, turning into a stream of light and leaving.
When Meng Zhang returned to Chenghuang Temple, the bull-headed horse noodles had not yet brought the Xue family.After all, with so many Xue family members, the speed must not be fast.
Meng Zhang told Ji Zihe directly in court about what happened to Xue's family and the origin of the merits of the old Jun Jun.Ji Zihe didn't say anything yet, but the vixens who were the plaintiffs panicked. They always thought that the old Junjun's glory was due to her husband, but the truth was that she deserved it.
Some foxes couldn't help retreating. At first they also felt grateful for the kindness of the old Jun Jun. After all, she dredged the river and saved not only human beings, but also the creatures of Quang Binh.What they reported was only trivial things, the old county king had the power to send fox ghosts within a hundred miles, they were a little guilty.Secondly, they couldn't figure out whether the City God would favoritically protect the old Junjun after learning of the great good deeds that the old Junjun had done.
These foxes considered it again and again, and finally withdrew their lawsuits and left some, leaving some behind.Ji Zihe didn't stop them, it was they who gave up on suing, even if he wanted to handle the case as the City God, he couldn't force them.
After a long time, the bull head and horse face brought the Xue family criminals.Due to too many people, it was not easy to interrogate, except for the old Junjun, everyone was directly imprisoned by Ji Zihe, who received the seal of the Chenghuang, and waited for him to interrogate one by one.
"Mr. Chu, why don't you kneel down when you see the City God?" Ji Zihe asked.
"Back to Lord Chenghuang, I am under the imperial order, so I can avoid kneeling when I see a red-robed yin official." The old Junjun said.
The high-level priests in the underworld are all purple robes, while the middle and lower-level priests are all red robes. The county town god is only a small local official, so it is naturally a red robe.
Hearing this, Ji Zihe took off his official robe, changed from a ghostly-looking city god to a frail scholar, and sat in the courtroom, "Mr. Chu, I know that the county town god can't judge you. Then I will If you change your identity, do you think the young master of the underworld might be able to interrogate you?"
Leaning on crutches, the old Junjun looked at the river map on Ji Zihe's case, finally lowered his head, and saluted Ji Zihe, "I pay homage to the young master."
"Mr. Chu, the fox demons sue you for oppressing people with power, forcing the fox demon to marry, killing the son of the fox...can you plead guilty to several crimes?"
"Return to the young master, I don't recognize myself."
"Oh, what's your objection?"
"Returning to the young master, it is the power given to the old man by the underworld to drive the ghost fox with a radius of a hundred miles, so why do you say that it is oppressed by force?"
Ji Zihe looked indifferent, "The underworld gave me the power to drive ghost foxes with a radius of a hundred miles. Did it ever say that the ghost foxes with a radius of a hundred miles are your private property, and you can marry, kill and oppress them at will?"
The old Junjun paused, "Although no one said it, but I have been acting like this for many years, and no one in the underworld has come to criticize me. I think there should be nothing wrong with my actions."
"Isn't it right that no one reminded you? Skynet is well-established, and there are no omissions. Since there is no previous accusation, then this official will tell you that what you did was wrong and you should be punished."
"The young master judged the case like this, and the old body refuses to accept it. The old body has run for natural disasters, saved the lives of all people, and has done great merit. Now, the young master wants to punish the old body for crimes just because of some trivial matters. Isn't it chilling."
"It's good that you have merit, but hasn't the underworld rewarded you for what you did? The underworld has always paid attention to rewards and punishments. You have merit for saving all people, so the underworld will keep your order, and you don't need to meet the priests." Kneeling, and let your husband sit in the position of the patrol envoy of Wudu, and let you drive ghost foxes with a radius of a hundred miles. This is not all the rewards and kindness given to you by the underworld. Those who deserve awards will be rewarded, and then they will be punished You should also be punished. Now that you have made a mistake, shouldn't you be punished?"
The old Junjun was silent for a while, "What the young master said is that if I make a mistake, I shall be punished."
Ji Zihe was a little surprised that he gave it away so easily?
The old Junjun said again, "It's just that I don't recognize those crimes."
"What else do you have to say?"
"Returning to the young master, what happened to Xin Shishiniang was indeed my fault. I thought that my children and grandchildren would not live up to expectations, so I did something stupid. But the wedding of the two of them was not completed, and I already knew my mistake, so I turned around and apologized to Xin Shiniang. No. Hong Shi sued me for killing her child, but her child is just a mortal fox who has not yet enlightened his wits. It is illegal to kill an animal when he is old. Isn’t it true that all the creatures in the world who eat meat are guilty of serious crimes? Bai Yaoyao, she sued my old body to let her work, this is not really a crime, since the underworld gave me the right to drive Baili ghost fox, then my old body asking her to do some work is nothing more than exercising power, at most it is my old body Acting too harshly, it is not a crime..."
One by one, the old Junjun was clear and clear, and he justified himself, so that people couldn't find a place to refute. In the end, the few charges left were all the most minor ones.
Ji Zihe couldn't help sighing in his heart, this result was unexpected by Ji Zihe.Originally, he wanted to stand up for the fox demons, but under the current situation, the old county lord can't be punished.
Since Ji Zihe has decided to be a fair and strict official, he can't use favoritism and decide the case according to his own preferences.Although he sympathized with the fox monsters in his heart, he still had to deal with it impartially. He decided to fine the old Junjun some money, compensate the victim, and beat the old Junjun again, so that she would restrain herself in the future and stop being so overbearing.
Ji Zihe coughed and knocked on the gavel, "If there is no objection, then the judge will pronounce the sentence..."
"and many more!"
Before Ji Zihe finished speaking, a voice suddenly called out.Not long after, a handsome young man in official robes came in, bowed to Ji Zihe, "See you, young master."
"Your Excellency?" Ji Zihe asked suspiciously.
"Xue Mingyan, the envoy of the Five Capitals, is the husband of the Chu family."
Rao Ji Zihe was a little surprised because he was well-informed.The old Jun Jun looks like that, but Xue Mingyan is so young and handsome. If they say they are a husband and wife, no one will believe them. They look like grandparents and grandchildren.
"Are you here to plead for the Chu family?" Ji Zihe asked.
Xue Mingyan shook his head, since he entered the Temple of the City God, he has never even glanced at the old Junjun, "Return to the young master, I want to give you some things in private, I wonder if I can make it easier for you."
"Is it related to this case?" Ji Zihe asked, if it has nothing to do with this case, let's talk about it later.
"Related." Xue Mingyan said.
The old Junjun's spine suddenly bent down, his face was ferocious, and he stared at Xue Mingyan, "Xue Mingyan, you..."
Xue Mingyan still refused to look at her, "Young master, can you move on?"
Ji Zihe stood up, "Please."
The two walked to an octagonal pavilion outside the Town God's Temple, Xue Mingyan took out a photo stone and handed it to Ji Zihe.
"This is the evidence that the Chu family killed the dead souls." Xue Mingyan said.
"I don't understand. Since you and Mrs. Chu are husband and wife, why didn't you come to ask her to intercede, but instead gave me this evidence?" Ji Zihe took the stone and asked.
"No matter how enlightened a husband is, he doesn't want his wife to be thinking about other people all the time. The reason Chu killed these souls was for my brother-in-law Feng Yunzi. It was for her to find Feng Yunzi for convenience. I found many souls similar to my brother-in-law and asked her to recognize them, but no one was there. She became angry and killed them all. Although we are husband and wife, she did such an outrageous act. I don't want to cover her anymore, so please ask the young master to return the favor.
Ji Zihe couldn't help but fell into deep thought, Ye Youshen's ugly body, which was comparable to that of the City God, slowly approached, and stood respectfully a few meters away from him, waiting for the City God's call.
Huang Jiulang hid in the yard, holding a plate with a whole chicken in one hand, and eating his extra meal with a chicken leg in the other, when he suddenly thought of something, he slapped his thigh, leaving a greasy handprint on his pants.
It was too late to feel sorry for the pants, Huang Jiulang put the chicken legs on the plate, and hurriedly went to look for Ji Zihe, "Master, you forgot to go to the Town God's Temple, my fourteenth sister is going to sue today."
Ji Zihe suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it.
"Yeyoushen, what do you want from me?" Ji Zihe asked.
"My lord, there is a demon complaining in the Town God's Temple, and the judge asked me to look for you." Ye Youshen replied.
The night wandering god in Ning'an County is a god who doesn't like to talk. It is said that he was framed by someone before his death and became dumb.Unless someone asks him, he will answer, otherwise he will not take the initiative to speak.Because this guy actually prefers to speak with his fists rather than with his mouth.
"I see, thank you for letting me know." Ji Zihe said.
Ye Youshen bowed slightly to Ji Zihe, then left to continue patrolling.
Ji Zihe changed into the official robes of the City God, and told Huang Jiulang to look after the house, and if there was any emergency in the county government, he should go to the City God Temple to inform him.
Although Huang Jiulang really wanted to go to the Town God's Temple to see how Xin Shiniang's case was progressing, he also knew the priority of the matter.Now that the county government has just arrested Sang Chong and other serious offenders, some emergency might happen. It is really worrying not to leave anyone in the county government.
Ji Zihe hurried to the Town God's Temple, set up the courtroom, sat down in the courtroom, slapped the gavel, "Bring the plaintiff."
When Ji Zihe yelled, he thought Xin Shishiniang was the only one, but a group of them came.Foxes big and small, some in human form, some with fox ears on their heads, and fox tails behind their buttocks, and some without even a disguised form, all knelt down in the hall in unison, the scene was very funny.
"Are you all plaintiffs?" Ji Zihe asked in surprise.
"Yes, we are all from the fox family nearby, and we want to ask Lord Chenghuang to make the decision." Xin Shishiniang said.
"All you are suing is the old Junjun?" Ji Zihe asked, probably guessing what was going on in his heart.
Xin Shishiniang didn't want to marry at first, but when she heard Ji Zihe said that she wanted to teach the old county lord a lesson, she called the nearby ghost fox who was also bullied by the old county lord, and wanted to aggravate the old junjun's crime.The old Junjun has accumulated power here for a long time, and he must have done a lot of bad things.Other tribes probably dare not come to sue, so only the vixen from the same clan as Xin Shishiniang dared to come.
"Yes, we are all suing the old county lord. The little fox Xin Shishiniang wants to sue the old county lord for using power to oppress people, force the little demon to marry, and destroy the little demon's way."
"Little fox Bai Yaoyao wants to sue the old county lord for forcing the little demon to work day and night without giving him food, making me always hungry."
"Little Fox Hong, I want to sue the old Jun Jun to kill my unwise child and take its skin to make clothes."
"Little Fox Dong Shishi, wants to sue the old Junjun..."
……
The matter was big or small, Ji Zihe listened patiently, the judge put all the pleadings of the fox demon on Ji Zihe's desk, Ji Zihe looked through them again, and asked, "What evidence do you have for your accusation?"
"There is evidence. This is the marriage certificate sent by the old Junjun today, as well as the servant who sent the marriage certificate." Xin Shishiniang said.
The rest of the fox demons who had evidence showed evidence, some with bones in their mouths, and some with scars on their bodies... Those without evidence could only look at Ji Zihe with their big eyes empty-handed, feeling aggrieved.
The maids and servants sent by the old county lord to deliver the marriage letter to Xin Shishiniang were brought up, and they were too proud to go to the court. They were tied up and stood on the court, staring at the bull-headed horse who pushed them over.
"Who is down there? Why don't you kneel when you see me!" Ji Zihe said loudly.
"It's just the city god of a small place. We are the servants of the old county lord. If you are sensible, let us go back and punish these bold vixens. Otherwise, if the old county lord finds us, you will have to eat and walk around." A female ghost dressed as a servant girl said.
"What a big tone, bull-headed and horse-faced, let them kneel down for me." Ji Zihe said.
The bull's head and horse's face were a little embarrassed, obviously knowing the identities of several people.The judge hurried to Ji Zihe's side and whispered, "My lord, these people are the servants of the old county lord. The old county lord's husband is the envoy of Wudu, and his rank is higher than yours. We can't afford to offend you." ah."
Ji Zihe glanced at him, took out the river map and patted it on the table, "This is the river map handed over to me by Pluto himself. Judge, do you think I can ignore him?"
The judge took a deep breath, wait, let him slow down, he didn't expect Ji Chenghuang to be so powerful.A few months ago, Pluto suddenly announced that the person holding the scroll of the river would be the young master of the underworld.All the monks were guessing who had given the Hetu Scroll to, but no one knew, and no one came forward to claim it.Now that the river scroll is in the hands of Ji Chenghuang, doesn't that mean he is the prince of the underworld!
In an instant, the way the judge looked at Ji Zihe changed. In the past, when he saw Ji Zihe, he was being held by his boss, but now when he saw Ji Zihe, he was offering him as a golden thigh, with little stars shining in his eyes, "Of course, of course."
Ji Zihe snorted, and said again, "What are you still doing in a daze, let them kneel down."
"Yes."
The bull-headed horse-face didn't hesitate anymore, and kicked the servants' calves, pushing them all to the ground.
Back then, the voice of Pluto announcing the young master of the underworld spread throughout the cultivation world, and all the monks, regardless of their level of knowledge, had heard about it.Of course, some people let go of their hearts, while others don't. It's not impossible to forget after listening.
However, the servants of the old Junjun do not seem to belong to the forgotten category.After Ji Zihe took out the river map scroll, all of them turned into quails. Although they were skeptical, no one dared to say a word for fear of offending Ji Zihe.
"You are the servants of the old Junjun, do you know that the old Junjun forced Xin Shishiniang to marry?" Ji Zihe asked.
"Your Excellency, it is none of our business. We are just following orders. We will deliver the marriage certificate when the old Jun asked us to. We really don't know anything else." The servant girl tremblingly said.
"This marriage letter was sent by the old Junjun himself?"
"Yes, the old Junjun is our master, so we naturally dare not disobey her orders. Please also ask your lord to investigate clearly and let us live."
"I will deal with it impartially, Niutoumamian, according to my order, go and bring that old Junjun to the court." Ji Zihe gave Niutoumamian an arrest warrant with the seal of the city god.
"Yes."
Niutou Mamian received the arrest warrant, and hurried to Huanggu, where he found the tomb of the old Junjun.
Now the tomb has turned into the appearance of a high-ranking family, with a bull's head and a horse face knocking on the door with an arrest warrant.They are just the last Yin Gods, their cultivation base is not considered high, but they are not that capable of breaking in and arresting people directly.
After a while, a voice came from the door, "Who are you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"We are Ji Chenghuang seated on the bull's head and horse face, and under the order of Ji Chenghuang, we invite the old Junjun to go to the court." Niutou said.
"You guys wait, I'll report to the old Junjun." The porter's voice was a little hurried, as if he was frightened.
It didn't take long for the door to open, and a young woman came out with her maid and servant, and bowed slightly to them, "You two officials, please follow me."
The bull head and horse face didn't think much, and followed the woman into the mansion.Walking through the winding corridors, the young woman led the bull's head and horse face to the lobby.The place was brightly lit, and the old Junjun was wearing a royal uniform, holding a dragon-headed crutch, sitting domineeringly in the hall, and the maids and servants stood on both sides, very imposing, which made the bull's head and horse face feel like he was in court.
The bull's head and the horse's face stopped, and the young woman went straight to stand behind the old Junjun, looking at the two of them from a distance.
"See the old Junjun." The bull head and the horse face respectfully saluted, although the Lord Chenghuang is very powerful, but the old Junjun is the wife of the Five Cities Tour Envoy after all, and they have no guts to offend her.
"Don't dare to do it, I heard that the two officials want to arrest the old man and take him to court?" The old Junjun was in the presence of the old god, and he spoke in a calm and self-indulgent manner.
"Yes, someone sued you at Chenghuang, Ji Chenghuang would like to ask you to go over and find out about the situation."
"Can the two officials tell the old man who sued me and why?"
"Well, old Junjun, the ones suing you are all from the fox tribe, with different reasons. The leader is a fox demon named Xin Shishiniang. She sues you for oppressing others and forcing her to marry." These are not things Confidential, the bull head and horse face are willing to sell her a favor, and told her this in advance.
The old Junjun patted the table, "What a foxy girl, she has such good means, she dared to sue me. When I turn around, I will definitely peel off her skin and make it into a fox fur."
Niutauma didn't care about this, they still remembered their mission, "Please trouble the old Junjun to come with us."
"Hmph, it's just a small city god. I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but I still control the old man, and I don't know who lent him the courage." The old Junjun said disdainfully.
"Old Junjun, please don't embarrass us, let's go with us."
"Don't make things difficult for you. What's the matter with the old man. The old man was appointed by the emperor of the previous dynasty, and now he is the official wife of the five capitals. If you want to use the old man to tell you that Ji Chenghuang, he is not qualified. "The old Junjun waved his hand and sucked the arrest warrant from Niutou Mamian's hand, and tore it into pieces, "Mei Er, see off."
"Yes." The young woman standing behind her came out again, and said to the bull's head and horse, "You two, please."
Niutauma looked at each other face to face, and those who know current affairs are Junjie.Without arguing with them, he hurried to the Temple of the City God and told Ji Zihe what happened at the old Junjun's mansion.
"Whether she is qualified or not is not up to her to decide." Ji Zihe issued another arrest warrant, this time the signature was no longer Ji Zihe, the city god, but Ji Zihe, the young lord of the underworld.
Niutou Mamian did not accept the arrest warrant, and hesitated, "Master Chenghuang, there are many masters in the old county's residence, and the two of us are not their opponents. Even with your arrest warrant, I am afraid it will be difficult to bring him back."
"That's true." Ji Zihe thought for a while, then patted his stomach again.
Meng Zhang grumbled and crawled out, "Xiaohezi, what do you want from me?"
"Bone, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"Help me bring the old Junjun here." Ji Zihe handed him the arrest warrant in his hand.
Meng Zhangfei came out, stretched his waist, and pinched the arrest warrant with his little claws, "It's such a trivial matter, why don't I call the dragon that rains during the day to come and catch her for you."
"What priesthood did that dragon receive in the heaven during the day?"
"Isn't there a Qingshui River in Ning'an County, and the dragon is the Dragon King of Qingshui River."
Ji Zihe shook his head, "It's just that the River Dragon King may not be able to take on this important task. The five-city patrol envoy is not a small official. If he retaliates afterwards, the River Dragon King may not be able to carry it. And the old county is a five-city The wife of the patrol envoy, since the five-city tour envoy is assured of leaving her family here, she must have made complete preparations, and there must be many masters in her house."
"It's true. If that's the case, then I'll go." Meng Zhang put away the arrest warrant, thought for a while, and suddenly jumped up, pointing his mouth on Meng Zhang's forehead.
"What is this for?" Ji Zihe touched his forehead, his face was slightly hot, but Chenghuang's appearance was too thick-skinned, so he couldn't tell anything.
"I don't worry about you, don't be afraid, I will be back soon." Meng Zhang said seriously.
Ji Zihe smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, you should hurry up and go back early."
"Then I'm leaving." Meng Zhang reluctantly said.
"Ah."
"I'm really leaving."
"move."
"Aren't you going to keep me?"
Ji Zihe: "..."
Brother, it's not that far away, why do you want to make it look like a farewell to death.
Meng Zhang sniffed and said sadly, "Forget it, you little heartless, who made me like you, I'm leaving."
Like it?Ji Zihe's heart warmed, he grabbed Xiao Qinglong, and kissed him on the forehead, "Be careful on the road, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xiao Qinglong suddenly seemed to have drunk fake wine, his head was bubbling, his face showed an idiotic smile, and he wobbled and flew outside.
The onlookers only felt that their eyes were going to be blind. Is the aesthetics of that little green dragon really all right?To actually fall in love with such a ferocious Lord of the City God, and to be kissed by him is still full of love.
If the City God kissed him... and kissed him, it must be a ghost story.Are you sure he really wants to kiss and not take the opportunity to bite your head off?
Ji Zihe also thought it was funny. When talking about his official status as a city god, he was disgusted from the hair to the heel.But now it seems that he is not as annoying as he said.
If Meng Zhang knew what everyone was thinking, he would sneer, how could he be the kind of superficial dragon who only looks at the appearance.No matter how good-looking or ugly other people are, he won't like him, he only likes Xiao Hezi.Cough, such nice earthy love words, hurry up and write them down in a small notebook, and when he returns to normal and becomes human, he must hold Xiao Hezi and read them every day.
Meng Zhang took the bull's head and horse face to the old Junjun's mansion again, and this time they were greeted with full of malice.
Hundreds of the old Junjun's guests stood in front of her, all of them were demon cultivators or ghost cultivators with high levels of cultivation, which made the old Junjun look full of confidence, "I respect you as officials, I will let you go once." , I didn't expect you to dare to come to the door, so don't blame me for being merciless."
"Please calm down the old Junjun. We are also following orders. Please come with us. The Lord Chenghuang is waiting for you at the Temple of the City God. If you are innocent, the Lord Chenghuang will definitely give you justice. "
"Don't think that I don't know what you are up to. The new city god took office, and if he wants to use the old body to make a big difference and burn three fires on the old body, it depends on whether the old body agrees. The old body usually does not leave the gate. If the door is not open, what a big mistake can be made. The city god just wants to take the opportunity to bully me as an old woman because my husband is not here. It is really despicable. When the old husband returns, he will report to the underworld, and the underworld will be fair and withdraw. He is the City God." The old Jun Jun said sharply.
"Oh, the tone is not small." Meng Zhang said.
Only then did the old Jun Jun notice this little blue dragon that was not as thick as a finger. He had no choice but to make him so small, and standing in front of the very attractive bull-headed horse-face with a very killer appearance. It's like being invisible.If he hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed him.
"Who are you?"
"I am a helper invited by Ji Chenghuang, entrusted by the young master of the underworld, to come to Xue's house to arrest Chu." Meng Zhang said.
Since he is the helper of the city god, how could he be ordered by the young master of the underworld? The old Junjun calmed down, "You little dragon, you dare to pretend to be ordered by the young master. I am just an old woman who has never met the young master. Why did the young master entrust you to capture me?"
"Old Junjun calm down, when I take him down, I will be able to force him to find out what kind of conspiracy he has." A doorman said flatteringly.
"Thank you, gentlemen." The old Junjun bowed to these diners.
"It's my good fortune to be able to share the worries of Master Xue." The doormen returned the courtesy, turned to look at Meng Zhang, immediately changed their expressions, and said arrogantly, "Little brat, don't think that we dare not do it because you are a dragon. These people do not attack lightly or seriously, I advise you to catch them quickly, if you are injured or disabled, crying is useless."
Meng Zhang raised his eyebrows, these ghosts regarded him as a young dragon, no wonder they were so bold and wanted to fight him.
"I want to see who is going to cry."
"You don't have to drink a toast, you have to drink as a punishment, brothers, come on!"
These cultivators supported by Xue's family didn't have the slightest sense of shame to bully the few, the big bully the small, and when they said they wanted to do something, they would attack in groups.
Although the dragon clan today is not as powerful as the dragon clan in ancient times, it is still unattainable for ordinary monks.Most dragons are born gods, and they can reach a realm that they can't necessarily reach in their entire life of cultivation. Don't they be hated by others?
Everyone in the comprehension world knows the strength of the Dragon Clan, and almost no one has heard that someone can defeat the Dragon Clan.Of course, it is estimated that there will be no one who is really free to fight with dragons. People who can slay dragons in the legend will end badly.For example, the former Taishi Jiang Yuxuan was a dragon hunter, not only killing dragons but also eating dragons.Although such a fierce man is not in the cultivation world, his legends are everywhere in the cultivation world. When his name is mentioned, everyone will shudder down their backs, and their faces will change when they talk about it.It's just that Jiang Taishi's fate was very miserable. I heard that the Dragon Clan invited the ancestor Qinglong Shenjun to beat him to death. It is also said that his ending is imprisoned in the [-]th floor of hell and suffers day by day...Of course, Legends are legends after all, and no one can guarantee the authenticity.
On weekdays, the dragon clan is always high above them, flaunting a status above all beasts, which makes people daunting.Who wouldn't want the chance to defeat a dragon now without responsibility.
The Dragon Clan itself is an authority, and defeating the Dragon Clan is proof of rising up to overthrow the authority. I believe no one will care whether the dragon is a big dragon or a small dragon.Anyway, there are so many of them, and the dragon opposite is just a young dragon, they don't believe it, no matter how talented they are, how can they have many enemies.After defeating the Dragon Clan, if you tell it later, you will definitely become famous.
And as long as the dragon is captured, maybe a few dragon scales can be easily pulled off.The whole body of the dragon is full of treasures. At that time, it could not only become famous, but also make a fortune.
More importantly, this was the order of the old county lord. If the Dragon Clan were to be held accountable afterwards, it would definitely be trouble for the old county lord.There are five capitals patrolling to make this mountain stand on top, so what is there to be afraid of?
Thinking of the benefits of "rebellion", all the monks were excited. Looking at Meng Zhang, it was like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat, with green eyes, wishing to carve up his chopstick-thin body now.
Many monks are still regretting that it would be great if the dragon was bigger, what good things can be easily touched by such a small one.
Meng Zhang fulfilled their wishes, and his size suddenly increased, and his body became bigger and bigger, but there was no surprise in the eyes of those monks, only shock.
When Meng Zhang recovered the body of the giant dragon, all the monks who were fierce just now dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, unable to feel any more greed in their hearts.They can still show off their might in the face of young dragons, but if they are facing adult dragons, and they are still adult dragons with a relatively high level of cultivation, they just think that it is good to save their lives, so how dare they think about pulling out dragons easily? scale.
Don't say anything to bully the few, it depends on the situation.The dragon on the opposite side is not only an adult dragon, but also has unfathomable cultivation, and the resistance is purely to deliver food.
"My lord said that I want to see you cry. Cry, if you don't cry, you will go to hell." Meng Zhang released coercion, but he attacked indiscriminately.
Not only the cultivator on the opposite side, but even the bull-headed horse face was affected, and couldn't help but kneel down. No one could stand still under the pressure of Qinglong Shenjun.Qinglong is high above, looking down at the living beings under his feet, this is the perspective he is used to.
A monk who can succumb to power and money and be driven by the old county monarch is naturally not a tough one.Immediately, with a runny nose and a burst of tears, he cried bitterly and begged for mercy, what he said was sincere.
"Who is your Excellency?" The old Junjun knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Meng Zhang with difficulty, ordinary dragons did not have such a strong coercion.
"I am a helper invited by Ji Chenghuang. I was ordered by the young master of the underworld to come to Xue's house to arrest the Chu family." Meng Zhang looked at the old Junjun and found that there was something wrong with the imperial uniform on her body.Taking a closer look, it turned out that the clothes were made of merit, and I couldn't help being a little surprised. Isn't this old woman a villain? Where did she get so much merit?
"Then the old man will go with your Excellency." The old Junjun said.
Meng Zhang didn't explore her merits and virtues much. Anyway, his task was to arrest people, and he had nothing to do with other things.
Meng Zhang took out the arrest warrant that Ji Zihe had given him, and threw it out.The arrest order instantly turned into long chains, binding all the people in Xue's mansion, big and small.Let the bull's head and horse face take the man back, and he left first.
Meng Zhang didn't go directly back to the Town God's Temple, but stopped on the way, "Come out."
A beam of light fell from the clouds and turned into a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown, walked up to him, knelt down and bowed deeply to him.
"Qingshuihelong pays homage to the ancestors."
"Well, get up."
"Thank you, my ancestor. I also asked my ancestor to make amends. I didn't know that my ancestor came to Ning'an County. I didn't come to pay my respects immediately. It was Xiaolong's dereliction of duty." Qingshuihe Dragon King stood up, bowed his waist and said respectfully.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's because I don't want to disclose my whereabouts."
"Yes. Congratulations to the old ancestor's return to the throne. The old ancestor has shown up now, but you want Xiaolong to notify the clan and let the elders send someone to welcome you back to the clan?"
"Don't be too fussy. I have important things to do when I come to Ning'an. I don't plan to leave for the time being, and I don't want to see other people disturbing me. Do you understand?" Meng Zhang did not prevent Qingshuihe Dragon King from revealing his whereabouts. , just to warn him not to let other dragons come to Ning'an to block his eyes, he has no intention of going to the dragons at all.
"Yes, Xiaolong understands. The old ancestor has no one to serve him now. If there is a place for Xiaolong that is useful, please ask the old ancestor to give orders." The Dragon King of Qingshuihe didn't ask Meng Zhang what he wanted to do when he came to Ning'an County. If you are self-aware, don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about, and if you inquire about them, they won't tell you.
"Although my soul is back in place now, I still need to recuperate for a while. You go and let the dragon clan collect some elixir and give it to me as soon as possible." Meng Zhang was not polite at all when it was time to speak. The dragon clan suffered, if the dragon clan hadn't asked him to come forward, how could he have fought with Ji, and how could he have been separated from his body by the lightning strike.What's wrong with asking them for some elixir, Meng Zhang is simply confident.
"Yes, Xiaolong must fulfill his mission and deliver the things as soon as possible."
"Well, by the way, since you are the local River Dragon King, do you know the old county gentleman of the Xue family?"
"Know some."
"Why does she have so many merits?"
"That's a long story."
"Then let's make a long story short."
"Yes. The old Junjun's original name was Chu, and her husband was Xue Mingyan. He was an official to Shangshu during his lifetime, and became a minor official in the underworld after his death. After the death of her husband, the Chu family returned to live in their hometown in Ning'an County from the capital. A flood broke out, and Quang Binh Province was the hardest-hit area. The heavy rain fell for a long time, and the water level of the big river in the province skyrocketed. At this time, the old county lord came forward and donated all his wealth to dredge the river and rescue the victims. During the period, they united with them to fight against the flood, so that thousands of people survived. The old Junjun finally died of exhaustion on the carriage because of his long-time travel. After her death, because of her great merits during her lifetime, the underworld left her But she didn't have much interest in being an official, so the underworld promoted her husband's official position, and let Xue Shangshu sit all the way to the position of the five capitals' patrol envoy." Qingshuihe Longwang said.
"It turns out that's the case." Meng Zhang was a little emotional. Some people can clearly distinguish the righteousness of the country, but they can't understand the small things. I'm afraid they are people like the old county lord.
Doesn't that kind of person often appear in the storybook, like a general who threw his head and blood for the country at the border, and everyone said that he was a hero who was so righteous.It's a pity that after returning to the capital, the emperor gave him an official title, and he began to be domineering, oppressing good people, amassing money and accepting bribes, doing all kinds of bad things, and everyone shouted and beat him.In the end, he ended up beheading, so who can blame him?
"Okay, let's go, I will contact you again if something happens."
"Yes, Xiaolong is leaving." Qingshuihe Dragon King stepped back respectfully, turning into a stream of light and leaving.
When Meng Zhang returned to Chenghuang Temple, the bull-headed horse noodles had not yet brought the Xue family.After all, with so many Xue family members, the speed must not be fast.
Meng Zhang told Ji Zihe directly in court about what happened to Xue's family and the origin of the merits of the old Jun Jun.Ji Zihe didn't say anything yet, but the vixens who were the plaintiffs panicked. They always thought that the old Junjun's glory was due to her husband, but the truth was that she deserved it.
Some foxes couldn't help retreating. At first they also felt grateful for the kindness of the old Jun Jun. After all, she dredged the river and saved not only human beings, but also the creatures of Quang Binh.What they reported was only trivial things, the old county king had the power to send fox ghosts within a hundred miles, they were a little guilty.Secondly, they couldn't figure out whether the City God would favoritically protect the old Junjun after learning of the great good deeds that the old Junjun had done.
These foxes considered it again and again, and finally withdrew their lawsuits and left some, leaving some behind.Ji Zihe didn't stop them, it was they who gave up on suing, even if he wanted to handle the case as the City God, he couldn't force them.
After a long time, the bull head and horse face brought the Xue family criminals.Due to too many people, it was not easy to interrogate, except for the old Junjun, everyone was directly imprisoned by Ji Zihe, who received the seal of the Chenghuang, and waited for him to interrogate one by one.
"Mr. Chu, why don't you kneel down when you see the City God?" Ji Zihe asked.
"Back to Lord Chenghuang, I am under the imperial order, so I can avoid kneeling when I see a red-robed yin official." The old Junjun said.
The high-level priests in the underworld are all purple robes, while the middle and lower-level priests are all red robes. The county town god is only a small local official, so it is naturally a red robe.
Hearing this, Ji Zihe took off his official robe, changed from a ghostly-looking city god to a frail scholar, and sat in the courtroom, "Mr. Chu, I know that the county town god can't judge you. Then I will If you change your identity, do you think the young master of the underworld might be able to interrogate you?"
Leaning on crutches, the old Junjun looked at the river map on Ji Zihe's case, finally lowered his head, and saluted Ji Zihe, "I pay homage to the young master."
"Mr. Chu, the fox demons sue you for oppressing people with power, forcing the fox demon to marry, killing the son of the fox...can you plead guilty to several crimes?"
"Return to the young master, I don't recognize myself."
"Oh, what's your objection?"
"Returning to the young master, it is the power given to the old man by the underworld to drive the ghost fox with a radius of a hundred miles, so why do you say that it is oppressed by force?"
Ji Zihe looked indifferent, "The underworld gave me the power to drive ghost foxes with a radius of a hundred miles. Did it ever say that the ghost foxes with a radius of a hundred miles are your private property, and you can marry, kill and oppress them at will?"
The old Junjun paused, "Although no one said it, but I have been acting like this for many years, and no one in the underworld has come to criticize me. I think there should be nothing wrong with my actions."
"Isn't it right that no one reminded you? Skynet is well-established, and there are no omissions. Since there is no previous accusation, then this official will tell you that what you did was wrong and you should be punished."
"The young master judged the case like this, and the old body refuses to accept it. The old body has run for natural disasters, saved the lives of all people, and has done great merit. Now, the young master wants to punish the old body for crimes just because of some trivial matters. Isn't it chilling."
"It's good that you have merit, but hasn't the underworld rewarded you for what you did? The underworld has always paid attention to rewards and punishments. You have merit for saving all people, so the underworld will keep your order, and you don't need to meet the priests." Kneeling, and let your husband sit in the position of the patrol envoy of Wudu, and let you drive ghost foxes with a radius of a hundred miles. This is not all the rewards and kindness given to you by the underworld. Those who deserve awards will be rewarded, and then they will be punished You should also be punished. Now that you have made a mistake, shouldn't you be punished?"
The old Junjun was silent for a while, "What the young master said is that if I make a mistake, I shall be punished."
Ji Zihe was a little surprised that he gave it away so easily?
The old Junjun said again, "It's just that I don't recognize those crimes."
"What else do you have to say?"
"Returning to the young master, what happened to Xin Shishiniang was indeed my fault. I thought that my children and grandchildren would not live up to expectations, so I did something stupid. But the wedding of the two of them was not completed, and I already knew my mistake, so I turned around and apologized to Xin Shiniang. No. Hong Shi sued me for killing her child, but her child is just a mortal fox who has not yet enlightened his wits. It is illegal to kill an animal when he is old. Isn’t it true that all the creatures in the world who eat meat are guilty of serious crimes? Bai Yaoyao, she sued my old body to let her work, this is not really a crime, since the underworld gave me the right to drive Baili ghost fox, then my old body asking her to do some work is nothing more than exercising power, at most it is my old body Acting too harshly, it is not a crime..."
One by one, the old Junjun was clear and clear, and he justified himself, so that people couldn't find a place to refute. In the end, the few charges left were all the most minor ones.
Ji Zihe couldn't help sighing in his heart, this result was unexpected by Ji Zihe.Originally, he wanted to stand up for the fox demons, but under the current situation, the old county lord can't be punished.
Since Ji Zihe has decided to be a fair and strict official, he can't use favoritism and decide the case according to his own preferences.Although he sympathized with the fox monsters in his heart, he still had to deal with it impartially. He decided to fine the old Junjun some money, compensate the victim, and beat the old Junjun again, so that she would restrain herself in the future and stop being so overbearing.
Ji Zihe coughed and knocked on the gavel, "If there is no objection, then the judge will pronounce the sentence..."
"and many more!"
Before Ji Zihe finished speaking, a voice suddenly called out.Not long after, a handsome young man in official robes came in, bowed to Ji Zihe, "See you, young master."
"Your Excellency?" Ji Zihe asked suspiciously.
"Xue Mingyan, the envoy of the Five Capitals, is the husband of the Chu family."
Rao Ji Zihe was a little surprised because he was well-informed.The old Jun Jun looks like that, but Xue Mingyan is so young and handsome. If they say they are a husband and wife, no one will believe them. They look like grandparents and grandchildren.
"Are you here to plead for the Chu family?" Ji Zihe asked.
Xue Mingyan shook his head, since he entered the Temple of the City God, he has never even glanced at the old Junjun, "Return to the young master, I want to give you some things in private, I wonder if I can make it easier for you."
"Is it related to this case?" Ji Zihe asked, if it has nothing to do with this case, let's talk about it later.
"Related." Xue Mingyan said.
The old Junjun's spine suddenly bent down, his face was ferocious, and he stared at Xue Mingyan, "Xue Mingyan, you..."
Xue Mingyan still refused to look at her, "Young master, can you move on?"
Ji Zihe stood up, "Please."
The two walked to an octagonal pavilion outside the Town God's Temple, Xue Mingyan took out a photo stone and handed it to Ji Zihe.
"This is the evidence that the Chu family killed the dead souls." Xue Mingyan said.
"I don't understand. Since you and Mrs. Chu are husband and wife, why didn't you come to ask her to intercede, but instead gave me this evidence?" Ji Zihe took the stone and asked.
"No matter how enlightened a husband is, he doesn't want his wife to be thinking about other people all the time. The reason Chu killed these souls was for my brother-in-law Feng Yunzi. It was for her to find Feng Yunzi for convenience. I found many souls similar to my brother-in-law and asked her to recognize them, but no one was there. She became angry and killed them all. Although we are husband and wife, she did such an outrageous act. I don't want to cover her anymore, so please ask the young master to return the favor.
