The 252nd chapter cannot escape the national law
The old servant was under a tree and the bare branches didn't feel strange. He was drinking the yellow wine with peanuts. In addition to peanuts, there was also a roast chicken on the table, which tasted delicious.
At this time, the sky was covered with clouds and the wind was blowing. The window was blowing. The old servant stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a peanut and threw it into his mouth. After taking a sip of wine, he got up and went to the window. There was wind outside the window. Some rain fell and he wanted to close the door. A flash of lightning flashed suddenly.
Two ghost messengers appeared without saying a word, holding the chain and locking it. The old servant wanted to call someone but there was no sound. He felt light and confused all over. When he looked back, he seemed to have a figure lying in front of the window.
The old servant was frightened and wanted to struggle, but couldn't exert his energy, so he became confused and followed the ghost crew out.
"Magnificent!" The old servant woke up and was sweating profusely. Looking up, the scene had changed. The surroundings were covered with gloomyness. There were two pillars standing on the left and right of the hall, "filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and trustworthiness" on the left, and "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" on the right!
Just as he was confused, he saw an official sitting on the desk, standing on the side of a man wearing the chief clerk's clothes, only a tiger man, and more than a dozen ghost servants were kneeling down.
The old servant looked and felt that the officials seemed to have seen them somewhere. Suddenly, he remembered that the prefect had seen this official when he was presiding over the sacrifice. He was not an official, but he was clearly a river god.
Just as he thought about it, some screams suddenly came, as if there was some fried fragrance. When the old servant smelled the fragrance, he was so scared that he was scattered.
Not far away, there were several prisoners wearing shackles, some of which had broken heads and folded arms, which looked very terrifying. In addition, there were people placing fire-cooked oil woks, and several people frying them in the oil.
The river god sitting high above flipped through the case file and said, "Take the prisoner Chen Gui up."
The old servant was shocked. Chen Gui knew him and was still a friend. He died of illness a few days ago. He saw Chen Gui being taken up. The river god in the hall slapped the wood: "Chen Gui, you have been punished. Do you know that you have committed a crime? You can reduce your crime by reporting it yourself!"
Chen Gui hurriedly said, "Master of the River God, I am wronged, I am wronged. I have always been famous for being good and have not done bad things at all. The villain is wronged."
Chen Gui refused to change his words.
The cold-faced River God opened the booklet in front of him and said coldly: "Chen Gui, a native of Anji Mansion, is fifty-eight years old this year, has no affection and righteousness, seeks fame and reputation, and has done 108 evil things. At the beginning of the year, he rode a horse and killed a beggar, and his life was cut off. Today, the River God Temple is being tried. Chen Gui, what I said is wrong??"
"Sir, I have also done good deeds. I have taken care of the widow next door many times and have seen it all." After hearing this, Chen Gui shouted loudly.
The chief clerk flipped the case file and said coldly: "Chen Gui, two years ago, in the name of care, I secretly told him, "My Lord, I know the crime, I know the crime, I am willing to give up all the crimes." Chen Gui collapsed and shouted.
"You are extremely evil and do not want to regret it. You should be sentenced to frying, and then be sent to a water prison for 100 years." The river god sentenced.
"Sir, please spare me." Chen Gui begs for mercy repeatedly.
At this time, the ghost officers shouted together, and the sound was like thunder. Then a ghost officer grabbed Chen Gui in front of the oil pot. It was as high as seven feet high and was surrounded by red charcoal, which was burning red.
Chen Gui was so scared that he cried and wanted to escape, and the ghost crew grabbed his head with his left hand and held his ankle with his right hand, and threw Chen Gui into the oil pot.
There was a constant sizzling sound. Chen Gui rolled up and down in the oil, his flesh and blood were burnt, and the pain was so pierced. The old servant's eyes were thin. Seeing Chen Gui open his mouth in pain, boiling oil pouring into his mouth, and even his internal organs were frying. After a meal, the ghost officer forked out the man with a big fork and betted down.
"Li Wu!" The river god brought another person with him, and the man's whole body trembled.
"Li Wu, you have been punished for your sins, do you know your guilt?" The river god slapped the wood!
Li Wu trembled all over: "Lord River God, I once picked up ten taels of silver but didn't return it to anyone."
"In addition to this, what sins have you committed?" asked the River God.
Hearing this, Li Wu murmured and couldn't speak. The river god said coldly: "This is just a small matter, only fifty big boards, but fifteen years ago, you and your brother stole the only pig in the village, causing the old woman to jump into the river to commit suicide. You are very guilty and should be punished by the Knife Mountain Prison."
"Sir, sir, forgive me, forgive me." Li Wu said loudly, and a knife forest suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The ghost messenger grabbed Li Wu and threw it into the air. When Li Wu fell, the blades penetrated into his chest and abdomen, and screamed on the sword mountain. Seeing such a tragic scene, the old servant trembled all over and sweat kept flowing down.
"Take a sinner's account!"
The ghost messenger carried the old servant forward, and the old servant collapsed on the ground with his hands and feet.
Listening to the sound of the above, "You have been punished, do you know your guilt? You can reduce your guilt by reporting it yourself!"
The old servant knelt on the ground and knocked repeatedly: "The villain knows his crime, the villain knows his crime, the villain confesses his crime."
The old servant looked up at the river god in front of him, his eyes became blurred, and his heart was afraid and confused. He struggled. Seeing that the river god was about to be angry, he finally offered his promise: "I helped the master's family to release usury. Since I couldn't afford it, I took someone to scatter the house and sell the rafters, and robbed my daughter to pay off the debt."
"Last time I caught my private salt, I helped the master sell it privately, and I got 3,700 taels of silver."
"Last time, the master told me to give me three hundred taels to participate in politics."
As soon as the old servant opened his mouth, he kept saying everything he made.
The temple was filled with cigarettes and there was no additional punishment, but several servants knelt on the ground, strangely, their eyes were closed, but they screamed from time to time, and they spoke separately, offering all their sins.
Some people say they have taken away fertile land, some say they have beaten the slaves to death, and some say they have greedy for money.
Film scenes appear in the mirror like a movie. Pei Ziyun looked at the picture and thought to himself: "It's really similar to movies in the previous life. Many people are confused by this, and all kinds of gods and monsters are spreading."
However, this method is easier to deal with mortals than torture. Few people can resist in this situation, and special Taoists keep recording their confessions.
Seeing them confessing one by one, Pei Ziyun was not happy but worried, and couldn't help but frown and said to the girl: "These are actually minor crimes. You can't quickly overthrow the prefect. These servants are all old men of the prefect. How could they not know the inside story of the real interests?"
"Is this prefect still quite a decent?"
In this world and era, the affairs of the prefects, such as usury, bribery, and beating slaves to death, cannot be said to be useless. If the superiors deal with the prefect, this crime will be enough.
However, if you are a colleague or a subordinate, you will feel a little bit unpainful and unpalatable when you raise these crimes. Even if you really get impeachment, you may just be fined three glasses of wine.
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, the girl couldn't help but frown. At this moment, a light flashed across the magic mirror, as if there was some intervention. The girl looked up and her face instantly became happy: "I caught a big fish."
"What?" Pei Ziyun looked at the magic mirror and saw a person gritting his teeth and not admitting it, a light yellow breath protecting it.
"It's the deputy butler Bai Zeng!" a female Taoist said as she looked at it.
"It turns out that everyone is going well, not only because of ordinary servants, but also because they don't have much to do with the things they offer. What this person knows is indeed related to the prefect's energy, so the prefect's luck comes to protect it. This way of energy is really mysterious. Can you also automatically protect the people beside you from harm?" Pei Ziyun frowned.
When the girl heard this, she snorted coldly: "The energy is indeed mysterious. Even the Taoist sect has not yet studied it thoroughly. Humph, this river god is also cunning. In its temple, if you really want to resist the prefect's energy, you can resist it for a while, but now you are willing to come in."
Pei Ziyun laughed: "This is actually reasonable. We only offered some incense. It is natural that the River God refused to help us resist the prefect."
"But I have a solution." Pei Ziyun said, taking out the prince's token and pointing at the man: "Bold, you won't retreat yet."
Just as he drank, the magic mirror blurred in an instant and calmed down again in a blink of an eye.
I saw that the man's light yellow air retreated a few feet, as if he was unwilling to accept it, and he was circling and refused to withdraw, but he could not move forward for a while.
"Hurry up, increase the incense of Confusing God!" The girl immediately directed, and saw the incense of Confusing God constantly sucking in, and the river god in the magic mirror shouted: "Don't you admit it yet?"
At this time, the ghost officer stepped forward and lost the protection of the light yellow air. Bai Zeng suddenly saw the debt collector, his face suddenly became distorted, he looked at the ghost officer in fear, and retreated: "Guerrilla General, don't come over, don't, don't pester me, it was the master who asked me to kill you, not myself."
His voice was hoarse and shrill. As soon as he said this, the pale yellow air that the prefect circled in the magic mirror and refused to retreat immediately showed signs of disintegration. Pei Ziyun was overjoyed and ordered the female Taoist: No one else could ask, just ask him one person, and add the pressure of the ** array to ask clearly, and the water dew was stoned out!"
With this command, the magic mirror was adjusted, and several images disappeared, and Bai Zeng was the only one in the bronze mirror, and the entire clarity immediately expanded several times.
Spiritual Realm River Temple
At this time, five or six movie-like projections were placed on the hall. The river god was sitting quietly on the throne and watching. The judges and ghosts around were actually watching and did not enter the venue to host the ceremony. When he saw this, he was shocked and sighed: "This person doesn't want to have this previous crime, so he can't escape the national law."
As he spoke, he saw that the master was confused and pointed and said, "The prefect protects his energy. Not to mention a false temple, it is a real temple. Unless the higher-level judgment of the Yin Si Shidao, it will be difficult to hurt the sword and the bronze mirror."
"It's just that this Taoist has the prince's token, and he scolded him for a moment, and his official spirit will be gone. This is the prefect, and if he is the county magistrate, he will have to retreat completely."
"Of course, if it were the governor's aura, the prince's token might not be reprimanded."
"If you lose this protection of the energy, the Confused Scent can amplify the fear in your soul and make it happen to see the person you don't want to see the least. It's fine. If you kill a little manslaughter, you may not be able to suppress it."
"But as soon as the guerrilla general said this, the prefect was in a state of collapse. He knew that the prefect could not escape the national law. He didn't expect that he would still be guilty of this crime."
"This time, the Taoist will win a great victory." The river god sighed.
